On the eighth day of the ninth month of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Yinshi.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang has set countless rules for the Ming Dynasty, and he himself has been strictly abiding by these rules. But today he made an exception.

In the Yin period, it was the day when hundreds of civil and military officials went to court. The sky was still a little dark, but the east was slightly shining. The sun hasn't risen yet, and the temperature is naturally not much higher. But outside the Chengtian Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials who rushed to the court had already gathered. Up to the six Shangshu, down to the five grades of the imperial historian, dozens of people have been neatly lined up, with their backs against the Jinshui Bridge, one by one, just waiting for the eunuch to shout, and then they can go to court.

In the huge team of officials, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai have a righteous face. Three days ago, in the early court, the two of them also had such expressions, and on the top of the Golden Palace, according to their previous plan, they participated in the rudeness of King Yan to the emperor's eldest grandson, and the murder of the Korean prince Li Shanchang. It's a pity that he was dismissed by the emperor with a sentence of "just a joke" and a sentence of "insufficient evidence, we will discuss it in three days". Now that the three-day period had expired, they were more prepared to attack again.

'Why hasn't the emperor come to court yet?' the ministers were a little anxious. The bell of Wufeng Tower did not ring, and they could only wait.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Wuying Palace, and someone outside the Wuying Hall stopped him, or rather, he stopped himself.

Under the steps outside the Wuying Palace, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was dressed in a brocade robe, bowing his head and kneeling quietly.

The emperor said in the palace before that he would discuss it in three days, and he naturally knew. Today he is going to see his father here, and he is going to see his father before today's early dynasty. Dao Yan had already explained to him that he would be fine, but it involved a matter of attitude. Waiting quietly in the house, this shows that he has no fear. And kneeling here before the early dynasty was begging for mercy, indicating that he was afraid.

This truth is very simple, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand. In this kneeling of his own four emperors outside the hall, how much true feelings and how many are fake. But he was still stopped in the hall, and he didn't want to see Zhu Di, because he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted when he saw him.

"Alas" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, the time is already a moment, it can't be delayed any longer, and there will be chaos if you don't go to the court.

Standing up, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of Wuying Hall and stood in front of Zhu Di without saying a word.

"Father" Zhu Di's voice was hoarse, "Erchen knows that he is wrong, can't Erchen know that he is wrong? Erchen will not dare in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't speak, he just looked at Zhu Di's face silently, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, "Alas, I've lost weight, I've been suffering these days." ’

"Father, you give your son a good time, whatever you do, your son has no regrets. Zhu Di said again, reached out and removed his shirt, revealing a straight back, and then slammed his head on the ground.

He took off his shirt to reveal the wounds on his body from the war, and he slammed his head on the ground to hide his smile, and he saw the heartache and pity that flashed in his father's eyes just now.

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the surrounding palace eunuchs to retreat into the distance.

"Di'er" Zhu Yuanzhang still spoke, "Father and son, you and I should tell the truth"

"Father, you said, the son knows everything," Zhu Di hurriedly responded, but his head was not raised.

"Do you complain that your father passed the throne to Yun Wei and not you?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very low.

"Father, the son doesn't want to hide it from you, the son did have a grudge before, but now he has understood his father's intentions. Zhu Di raised his head, he had already adjusted his expression. "The eldest brother is gone, there is still the second brother King Qin and the third brother King Jin on the head of the son, if you give me the throne, it will definitely cause chaos. Only the eldest brother's son Yun Wei as the East Palace is the best choice. Erchen has understood. ”

"Alas," Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched Zhu Di's somewhat messy hair, "There is indeed this reason in it, you can understand it best." In fact, when you bullied Yun Wei before, I knew that you had resentment, dissatisfaction, and hatred in your heart. It's good that you can tell me the truth today, and I'm really happy. That's it, I hope you're telling the truth. Go ahead, and act as if it never happened. But remember, even if I die, I'll be left behind!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a piece of tribute paper from his arms, tore it into three or four pieces in a few strokes, and sprinkled it in the air with his hand. Strode towards the Taihe Palace. He still has to clean up the aftermath of his son, and he has a big thing to do.

A fragment was blown by the breeze in front of Zhu Di, who was about to get up. The sentence on the fragment is incomplete, only a few words make up half a sentence "Move to Nanchang, Jiangxi, on the same day"

Zhu Di didn't dare to take the pieces on the ground, but respectfully kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang's back three times, then stood up, crying, and walked outside the palace.

At the end of the day, the early dynasty in the Taihe Palace finally began, and the six ministers of Jiuqing and the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in their respective shifts, and they all knocked to the ground, and the mountain shouted long live. After the monarch and ministers finished the salute, Lao Zhang, the chief eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang, sang loudly and "Hundreds of officials have something to do in the morning." ”

The hall was silent, and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, his hands on his knees, and his eyes slightly closed. The ministers lowered their heads, and no one dared to ask the reason for the late arrival of the early dynasty, and they saw that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a bad mood (the belt was placed under his belly). Slowly, the ministers focused their attention on Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai. Qi Tai's head was so low that he could feel the gazes that fell on him, but he pretended not to see them.

Gritting his teeth, Huang Zicheng stood up, "Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng, the attendant of the East Palace, has something to play." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said, "Huang Qing's family has something to do, but it can be played." ”

Huang Zicheng held his board steadily, "Your Majesty, three days ago, the Korean Duke and his younger brother Li Cunyi died in the Yan Wang's Mansion successively, and at the same time, the Korean Mansion was on fire, and there were more than 400 people in the door without a life. Now that the three-day period has expired, will His Majesty give an answer? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "What Huang Qing's family said is very true, where is Yin of Shuntian Mansion?"

"Chenshun Tianfu, Yin Gaofu, knock to see Your Majesty," a person flashed out of the minister's queue.

"How's the investigation of the Korean public case?"

"Back to Your Majesty," Gao Fuming took out a notebook from his arms and said, "After Weichen's investigation, three days ago, Li Fei, the son of Han Gong, was assassinated and lost both arms, so he fell mad. Han Gong seemed to have misunderstood that it was King Yan who did it, so he personally came to the door to ask for the crime, but he was assassinated by an assassin in King Yan's mansion. Later, his brother Li Cunyi arrived, and when he saw his brother killed, he was too excited, drew his sword and killed himself. ”

"Did you hold the Assassin?"

Kneeling on the ground, Gao Fuming raised the fold in his hand above his head, "Back to Your Majesty, the assassin Gu has taken poison and died, but the minister has found out that the assassin should be a member of the White Lotus Sect." The cause and effect of this matter have been written in detail in the compromise, please read it to Your Majesty. ”

"Present it" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned to the eunuch Lao Zhang beside him.

Lao Zhang walked down the steps, took the blue leather music in Gao Fuming's hand, and reflexively presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Gao Aiqing has worked hard, the case has been clarified, and King Yan's grievances have been washed away, does Huang Qing's family have anything else to say?"

"Minister... The minister has nothing to say," Huang Zicheng retreated into the queue gloomily. He could see that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to rectify King Yan at all.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it, and when he saw that no one answered, he said, "All Aiqing is fine, I have something to announce." Lao Zhang, proclaim"

"Yes" The old eunuch took out a yellow cloth shaft from his sleeve and opened it, and read aloud, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Fang is down today, the four seas are peaceful, and the country and the people are safe。。。。。。。 However, the remnants of the private white lotus。。。。。。。。。。 Therefore, the pro-army governor's mansion was abolished and the brocade guard was reopened。。。。。 Jiang Xuan, the former commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, served as the commander of Jinyiwei。。。。。 Chin this... ”

"What!"

"How can this be!?"

。。。

。。。

The sudden edict, a bomb, detonated the court. After reacting, the ministers finally realized that just now, under the pretext of clearing the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, the emperor decided to reopen the Jinyi Guard.

"Your Majesty" All the ministers knelt down and "Please think twice, Your Majesty"

Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved.

"Your Majesty, please think twice," the ministers stood up and knelt down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" the minister of civil and military affairs in the palace knelt on the ground for the third time, and shouted in his mouth, shouting that the slim possibility.

"Hmph" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "I have thought about it again and again, in order to maintain my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, Jinyiwei has the need to exist, Zhong Aiqing should not say more, and take the order." ”

It's ridiculous, how could Zhu Yuanzhang's decision be changed by the minister's three bows and a few shouts? Like a sleeping tiger, Jinyiwei finally opened his eyes at this moment, revealing his claws.

The ministers on the ground seemed to see a terrifying dark cloud coming over their heads. In fact, they didn't know that this dark cloud would not rain blood on their heads, but would only stop where it should stop, for example, on the head of the blue jade.
