Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhao Kang like this, but not only frowned, but said impatiently: "If you have something to say, what kind of body is crying and crying?"

Zhao Kang took out the music book from his sleeve with trembling hands and said: "The minister's official position is humble, this music book should have been reviewed by Lord Qian of the Ministry of Rites, and then forwarded to the emperor." But the minister can't bear to see that Lun is often about to be abolished, so he risked the crime of overstepping the system, and hoped that the emperor would learn from it. Zhao Kang said, kneeling with the notebook in both hands, and he was crying in a mess.

What is this? Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead with his hand, and he had not slept well for many days, but now after this Zhao Kang made a fuss, he had a headache. Seeing this, the eunuch beside him hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Present it." ”

The eunuch received the order, got off the Sumeru platform and walked to Zhao Kang to take the notebook, and when he turned around, he glared at Zhao Kang contemptuously. The meaning is obvious, it is to blame Zhao Kang for not taking the time. Zhao Kang was lying on the ground, but he didn't see the eunuch's eyes. It's no wonder that all officials below the fifth grade are not stunned when they see the emperor. The so-called dragon power is like a prison, and the emperor's grace is like the sea.

The eunuch returned to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's side and presented the fold with both hands.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold and opened it, and took a hasty glance, but in an instant, Long Yan was furious.

"Zhao Kang, you are so bold!" Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said, and actually threw the fold in his hand towards Zhao Kang in the distance.

When Zhao Kang heard the emperor's anger, he almost peed his pants at the entrance of the palace. I couldn't help but complain in my heart, who I couldn't find by myself, but I went to find the 'Knife Liu' ghostwriter outside the West Gate. This 'knife Liu' is quite famous in Jingshi Yingtian, not only writing letters but also writing lawsuits. His pen power arguments are bitter but irrefutable, who asks him to write a lawsuit on his behalf, and wins nine out of ten lawsuits. Because of its sharp writing, it is inherently known as 'Knife Liu'.

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhao Kang and scolded: "You are a small subordinate of the Wupin Qing Division, and you dare to sue the Taibao of the first grade?

Before the words fell, Liu Bowen, who was standing at the head of the class, came out of the class and said: "The emperor is angry, and the minister Liu Bowen has a play." ”

Liu Bowen is the minister of the humerus of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who is tantamount to the military advisor of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing that Liu Bowen had something to say, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't calm his anger for a while, and then said gently: "Prime Minister Liu Cheng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Liu Bowen didn't speak, walked over and picked up the fold thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang. He turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, can you take a look at this twist?"

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and waved his hand: "Look, it's really annoying!"

Liu Bowen got the holy oracle, and then he began to look at it carefully. Although Liu Bowen is the prime minister, he cannot watch it without permission, which is a felony beyond the system. But in order to share the emperor's worries, Liu Bowen asked first and then looked at the twists.

Liu Bowen read it first, and then smiled slightly: "The young man has tricky words." The emperor must not be angry. Saying that, Liu Bowen turned around and asked Zhao Kang, "You wrote this recital?"

Zhao Kang was so shocked when he heard this that he kowtowed again and again: "Don't dare to deceive the prime minister, this letter is written by the lower officials, and the prime minister spares his life." ”

It is rumored that Liu Bowen has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and the ghosts and gods are incomprehensible, and can predict the rise and fall of the five hundred years before and after. The strategy of the military book is even more familiar with the chest, and the Ming Dynasty can have today, Liu Bowen is a great contributor and should be the head of the ministers. When the business was not halfway through, under the guidance of Liu Bowen, the Red Turban Army won all battles. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang praised Liu Bowen many times and said: "My son Fang Ye!"

Zhao Kang was originally a timid and cowardly person, but when he saw Liu Bowen asking, where did he dare to hide anything, and immediately admitted that he was looking for someone to write for him. But he didn't expect that he told the emperor that he had written it, but to Liu Bowen he said that he was looking for someone to write it, which was undoubtedly guilty of defrauding the king.

Hu Weiyong thought that Zhao Kang had provoked the emperor's thunderous anger, and the two people he arranged separately went out to fan the flames, and Zhang Dakui would definitely die by then. Which Cheng thought that Zhao Kang was so unhelpful. As soon as Liu Bowen came out, he scared Zhao Kang like this?

Zhao Kang's begging for mercy, Liu Bowen smiled at it. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly in the hall: "Where is Zhou Zhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department?"

Zhou Zhen came out of the class and said: "The minister is here." ”

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Based on what Zhou Aiqing saw, what should this Zhao Kang be guilty of?"

Zhou Zhen thought about it for a while, and then said: "The crime should be beheaded." ”

"Let's do it!" Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then held his forehead with his hand. As soon as the words fell, two golden-armored warriors walked into the hall and dragged Zhao Kang out like chickens.

"Don't say this Zhao Kang, I really forgot about that Zhang Dakui. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and continued: "According to reports, Zhang Dakui privately received 300,000 taels of silver, and he was suspected of selling his official position. What do you think?"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he glanced at Sheng Yuanfu, the servant of the Criminal Department, who was not far away.

Sheng Yuanfu understood and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music. ”

"Speak. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said lazily.

"The minister thinks that Zhang Dakui's crime does not need to be discussed again, and accepting bribes without permission is clear proof, according to the law issued by the Ming Dynasty, if the bribes are more than ten taels, they will be beheaded, and Zhang Dakui will not be able to atone for his crimes. Sheng Yuanfu finished speaking and returned to the train.

When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked Liu Bowen: "According to the Prime Minister's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Liu Bowen made a little plan, and then said: "According to the minister's opinion, Zhang Dakui can't be killed, and there are three reasons: first, he is the only relict minister of the Later Song Dynasty. Second, Zhang Dakui and General Tang He are old friends, and General Tang is the emperor's playmate since childhood, which is tantamount to siblings. If Zhang Dakui is killed, I am afraid that General Tang will be cold. Third, General Chang Yuchun died, although there is no shortage of fierce generals in the army, but it is really rare to be able to compete with General Chang Yuchun. It is reported that General Chang and Zhang Dakui had a battle at the military gate, and the two were evenly matched. ”

Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and then said: "When I made him an official, he just refused to take up the military position, saying that he couldn't see his brother die tragically, so what could I do?"

Liu Bowen smiled lightly and said, "This matter is easy to do." Liu Bowen paused before he said: "Zhang Dakui's mansion in Suzhou was given by the emperor, and the emperor can issue a decree to take it back." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "How can I do something without faith?"

Liu Bowen said with a smile: "The emperor can give him back Zhang Dakui's house in Yingtian, and move all his family members to Beijing." For his family, he said that he served in Beijing (Bianliang), but in fact demoted Zhang Dakui to General Tang He. Liu Bowen stroked his beard and said: "Although the remnants of the Yuan Court are in the extreme north, they still watch the land of Beiping and want to return to the country all the time. Now Marshal Xu Da guards Beiping Mansion, Emperor Hui in the north and Wang Baobao in the west, and the situation is not optimistic. And General Tang He is now serving under Marshal Xu's account, just putting Zhang Dakui under Tang He's account, if Beiping is in trouble, Zhang Dakui will also have a place to use!"
