The expedited folds of Shu were sent to Nanjing one after another, and now the form of Shu erosion is already well known. Although Zhu Chun's series of actions effectively contained the situation, only Zhu Yuanzhang knew about them. On the bright side, the entire territory of Xuzhou Mansion fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and there were as many as 100,000 people who made trouble, and the CD Mansion was in danger, which was the general perception of the imperial court.

"If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat~" Lao Zhang shouted loudly on the imperial steps of the Chengtian Palace, announcing the beginning of the early dynasty.

This is actually a nonsense, let alone today, since the 26th year of Hongwu, when the early dynasty has nothing to do and directly retreated from the dynasty? It's okay, Zhu Yuanzhang can also find out something for you.

Recall the manuscript in his heart again, Xiao Xuewen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, held the ivory board in his hand, came out of the crowd, bowed down and said, "Xiao Xuewen, the secretary of the Ministry of Soldiers, has something to play." ”

"Speak. Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Xuzhou Mansion suffered a catastrophe and mourned all over the country. The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation and made a rebellion, and as far as the minister knew, now the entire territory of Xuzhou Mansion had fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and the situation was grim. According to Weichen's humble opinion, troops should be sent as soon as possible to suppress them, so as not to cause great changes. ”

Xiao Xuewen said this, on the seat not far from Zhu Yuanzhang's left, Zhu Yunwen secretly glanced at Huang Zicheng in the crowd below.

Huang Zicheng nodded slightly, and after Xiao Xuewen finished speaking, he also stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng, the attendant of the Eastern Palace and the Hanlin Academy, has something to play." ”

Seeing that it was Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "Speak." ”

Huang Zi clarified and coughed, and said loudly: "The minister wants to impeach Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, and he has three crimes, please ask Your Majesty to listen." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen's side face meaningfully, and said with a somewhat playful smile: "There are three crimes? ”

"Yes. Huang Zicheng took out a book from his sleeve, opened it slowly, and then read, "Minister Huang Zicheng, weeping blood to impeach Shu King Zhu Chun for three major crimes, one of his crimes: not cultivating virtue, causing frequent natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shu, before the earth dragon turned over, there were floods, and then there was the White Lotus cult to make trouble, stretching over 16 counties in Xuzhou Prefecture, and the affected people were as many as 100,000 people. "Shangshu-Hongfan" has clouds: it is said to be urgent, it is always cold, and it is said to be Meng, and it is said to be windy. That's why ... After a long period of sleepy classics, Huang Zicheng continued, "Earlier, Your Majesty was benevolent and sage, and he sent down an edict for sin, and he has received the blessing of heaven. However, the White Lotus Sect still rebelled, and it can be seen that the King of Shu is not virtuous enough, so he summoned this soldier to cause a disaster. This is also a crime. ”

The Manchu Dynasty was silent. The military generals were a little sleepy because they listened to Huang Zicheng's verbosity, and the civil officials were too sensitive because the content of Huang Zicheng's words was too sensitive, and they didn't dare to express their position. Although it is not the first time that he dares to impeach a vassal king, it is the first time that he dares to start from the aspect of virtue. In the Ming Dynasty, if a person is considered to be badly virtuous, then this person is basically abolished, although it will not kill him directly, but it is necessary to be spurned by ten thousand people. Put it on the head of the official, that is, the dismissal of the official, and put it on the head of the vassal king... Everyone secretly raised their eyes to look at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair, and then looked at Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's eldest grandson beside him, and then lowered their heads again.

"The second sin, the minister heard that Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, likes slang opera on weekdays, and the people he befriended are all ninth-rate actors, who do not read the books of sages and sages, and do not learn the skills of arching horses. How can such a person be the master of the people, and how can he shepherd the town on behalf of the Son of Heaven? ”

"And so. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Zicheng with some amusement, his voice was not hurried, as if he was looking at a monkey beating a gong.

"The third crime," Huang Zicheng didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and still read to himself, "Zhu Chunfeng, the king of Shu, was ordered to be in the domain, and he was in charge of the military and political power of a place, and he had the responsibility of defending the land and defending the people." But in the battle of Matou Mountain, the White Lotus Sect in the King of Shu was treacherous, causing 7,000 military equipment to be lost in the mountain fire, making Shu lack of troops, giving the White Lotus Sect an opportunity to take advantage of, this 。。。。。。。 ”

Three sins in a row refer to immorality, talentlessness, and incompetence.

All the accusations seem to be groundless, but in fact they seem to have some truth, at least it is enough to fool the people. For example, the crime of the King of Shu without virtue, in this era of the consensus of heaven and man, the emperor has admitted his mistake, but the situation has not improved, and it seems that there is no problem for him to take the blame. For example, the charges of incompetence and incompetence are all the same.

"Enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, interrupting Huang Zicheng's gushing.

"Your Majesty. Huang Zicheng was taken aback by Zhu Yuanzhang, and hurriedly closed the fold in his hand and knelt on his knees.

"Huang Qing's family," Zhu Yuanzhang got up and paced back and forth anxiously, shouting: "The sixteen counties of Xuzhou Mansion have all been lost, the imperial court reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and the safety of Shu is all on the shoulders of the King of Shu at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Huang Zicheng, who was kneeling on the ground: "What are you talking about? Immorality and incompetence? Let me tell you! From beginning to end, it was because Zhang Zheng, the commander of the Sichuan Jinyi Guard, was bewitched by the White Lotus Sect and provided false information to deceive me! It was the plan of the King of Shu to besiege Matou Mountain, which I personally agreed, how are you going?!"

"Minister. . . Minister.. Huang Zicheng was speechless, only kneeling deeply on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally jumped out to take the blame for the King of Shu, and he had no choice.

A roar shook Huang Zicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair and took two deep breaths: "Now that things have happened, the important thing is no longer a question of who is right and who is wrong." The king of Shu had, but now Shu is inseparable from him, and the most important thing for the court now is to solve the problems that have arisen. Impeachment of the King of Shu? But even if I behead the King of Shu and show it to the public, will the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect be quelled?! Stupid! Stupid! A bunch of fools!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The Manchu civil and military forces all knelt on the ground.

"Kneel and kneel, you will know kowtow! Is kowtowing useful?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed back and forth in the golden hall.

Zhu Yunwen also got up and said sneeringly, "Emperor, imperial grandfather, calm your anger, it's Yunwen... ”

Zhu Yunwen was about to speak for Huang Zicheng, but Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him suddenly, startling back his words.

"Your Majesty!" Qi Tai, the left attendant of the military department below, raised his head and said, "When the White Lotus Sect does not know the sky, it commits chaos. The minister thought that the DPRK should quickly send elite soldiers to Shu to support. ”

Li Guihe, the secretary of the household department, also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are still more than 7.3 million taels of silver and more than 6.4 million quintals of grain in the treasury of the household department, which can be transferred. ”

"Hmph. Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said angrily, "Where has the money and grain sent by the imperial court to Shu for disaster relief before?"

"Your Majesty. Li Guihe thought for a while, and replied loudly: "The disaster relief food and salary has been escorted by Chang Bo, the left attendant of the household department, and now it has reached the border of Hunan. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and ordered: "Send six hundred miles to expedite in a while, and tell Chang Bo that the grain is out of operation." Now I am afraid that those who go to Shu will be transported to the White Lotus Sect. ”

Xiao Xuewen. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the military department on the ground.

"The minister is here. Xiao Xuewen kowtowed.

"With you transferring 50,000 troops and 。。。。。 Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment and looked around at the ministers below.

'Who to choose to lead the troops?' Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.

In the crowd, I saw Lan Yu coming out of the crowd and bowing his head deeply: "Minister, Lan Yu, I am willing to lead the troops to calm the remnants of the White Lotus in Shu for Your Majesty!"
