I want to be a grandson

Chapter 250 Notes

Chapter 250 Notes
In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.

The commander of Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu, knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei brought the heads of the Lu family and the heads of those criminals.
They went to the surrounding areas of the capital separately, and the rumors have been clarified. They also went with the officials of the household department. They distributed food on the spot, and the people were very happy.
They all praised the benevolence of His Highness the Emperor Taisun. The rumors and rumors have been quelled, please rest assured, Your Majesty. "

Jiang Yu looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang who was silent, took a deep breath, and then said: "Your Majesty, I noticed that Huang Zicheng, who was compiled by the Imperial Academy for the Eastern Palace, seemed to have something hidden, so I decided to arrest him for interrogation. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Yu understood that he had made a big mistake in the matter of smallpox, and Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely have his head chopped off.

Fortunately, the rumors were discovered in time and did not become irreversible, otherwise my whole family would have to be buried with them!

Because although Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless, he generally will not kill all his confidants.

If a confidant made a mistake, as long as it was unintentional or did not cause too bad a result, Zhu Yuanzhang only killed one person involved, and it would not harm his wife, children, or children.

But Jiang Yu didn't want to die yet!

A person who is in a high position, can enjoy privileges, and enjoys good food and clothing, even if there is a chance of survival, he will firmly grasp it!
At this time, the merit must be atoned for, and the merit must be made in order to be able to save his life!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow Jin Yiwei to intervene in the affairs of the palace, and only let Jin Yiwei be responsible for the safety of some important royal family members in order to protect secretly.

However, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, Jiang Yu was still able to receive some news.

When he got the news of the dispute between Huang Zicheng and Wu Wang, although he didn't know the specific reason, but with Jin Yiwei's keen intuition, he knew that there must be a big story in it!
Now that I need to save my life, I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

So without Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Jiang Yu sent Huang Zicheng to Jinyiwei's prison!

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, and the murderous look spread in his eyes, "You dare to arrest the interrogation officials without our order, who gave you the courage!"

Jiang Yu's heart trembled, and he quickly lay down on the ground and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this subordinate is guilty! It is this subordinate who made a claim... Please forgive me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold tone: "We have said long ago that Jin Yiwei can only investigate unannounced visits and cannot arrest without authorization. You are taking our words as wind on your ears!"

Jiang Yu lay on the ground trembling and said: "This subordinate dare not, this subordinate dare not, this subordinate deserves death, I beg Your Majesty to appease your anger..."

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what is Huang Zicheng's crime, if you can't tell one or two, you can go back and have a good meal..."

This sentence almost scared Jiang Yu into incontinence!
Jiang Yu didn't know that this move would make Zhu Yuanzhang angry.

But he can't help it.

If you don't give it a try, you don't even have a chance of living!

Moreover, today may also be the last time I see His Majesty.

So Jiang Yu can only take risks!
Gathering up his courage, he took a deep breath, and Jiang Yu tried to make his voice more natural, "Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng confessed that...he once mentioned cutting...cutting the feudal clan in the East Palace..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly became murderous!

Cold sweat broke out all over Jiang Yu's body immediately, and his heart was raised immediately, holding his breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.

It seems that if I relax a little bit, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows will shoot at me, piercing my heart with thousands of arrows!
The cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the floor, and the clothes all over his body were already soaked, making it very uncomfortable to stick to his body.

But Jiang Yu didn't dare to move an inch.

"Bring him."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang made a sound, but this voice was as cold as water, without the slightest emotion.

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

Jiang Yu slowly got up, bent over and backed out.

After a while, an unremarkable carriage entered the palace from Jinyiwei Yamen.

All the carriages go through are side doors, so be careful when going around all the way.

Finally, it stopped beside the Jinshen Temple.

At this time, the idlers were all driven away by the guards of the palace.

"Sinner Huang Zicheng, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Huang Zichenggui, who was covered in scars all over his body and his eyes were blurred, kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How does Jin Yiwei's torture taste?"

Huang Zicheng shook his head, and said sadly, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister only wishes for a quick death, and I beg Your Majesty to fulfill you."

It's too easy to torture a person.

Under Jin Yiwei's cruel instruments of torture, no one could stand it.

At least among the people Jiang Yu knew, none of them could speak hard.

Jin Yiwei has plenty of ways to get them to speak, such pain is not something ordinary people can bear.

As a scholar, Huang Zicheng doesn't have that much perseverance, nor does he have that much will to die.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Oh, maybe you still have the possibility of surviving, why do you have to seek death?"

Huang Zicheng said desolately: "Reporting to Your Majesty, from the moment Jin Yiwei came to the door, the criminal already knew that he would die, and he didn't dare to hope for survival."

Jin Yiwei would not come to the door for no reason, nor would he interrogate himself severely without any reason.

Besides, those who can get out of Jinyiwei's prison are simply rare!
Huang Zicheng didn't think he was that lucky!
If it is Zhu Yunqi who is being made the grandson now, he still has a little hope.

But the grandson of the emperor is the third highness of the East Palace, and he is the confidant of the second highness, how could he allow himself to live!
After a lot of torture, Huang Zicheng's heart was ashamed, and the pride and backbone of a literati were also tortured.

In history, Huang Zicheng knew that no matter whether he surrendered or not, no matter whether he succumbed to Zhu Di or not, the king of Yan, who was known as "Jing Nan" and "Qing King's side", would not let him go.

So at that time, Huang Zicheng was able to leave a good reputation of loyalty in history for the sake of his posthumous name.
So he died generously and left a good name in history.

But now it is different, now there is no posthumous name to speak of!
So after Jin Yiwei's torture, Huang Zicheng has confessed completely.

Besides, it was a matter of life and death, Jiang Yu would not be merciful.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with no joy or anger on his face, he said: "I have something to ask you, if you answer truthfully, I will give you a quicker death."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Huang Zicheng kowtowed.

"You taught in the East Palace that you want to cut down the vassal? Is there such a thing?"

Huang Zicheng said with ashen face: "Returning to His Majesty, the guilty minister has indeed said it."

"Anyone heard?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was like talking to an old friend, without a trace of displeasure on his face.

Taking a breath, Huang Zicheng replied, "The Second Highness of the East Palace, and the Third Highness."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly, "What did Yun Wen say?"

"The Second Highness agrees quite a lot, and asked the guilty minister how to solve the hidden dangers of the vassal king, and the humble minister expressed the harm of the vassal king to the Second Highness."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and opened the box next to him, only to see that it was full of notes.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up inside, and took out a note after a while. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, frowning slightly, and his eyes were a little complicated.

Asked: "What about the Third Highness, how did he react after hearing it?"

Huang Zicheng said annoyedly: "The Third Highness was very displeased at the time, and after a few words of defense with the guilty minister, he walked away. Since that day, the Third Highness has never learned the lessons taught by the criminal."

Zhu Yuanzhang put the note in his hand on the table, "Tell me how you told them, too."

Huang Zicheng felt sad immediately, he knew how much Zhu Yuanzhang valued his sons.

It's like an old farmer dividing his family property. Although he left the largest share of the family property to his favorite eldest son, each son also got a small share.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, this world is his own home, and he also hopes that everyone in his family can be harmonious and beautiful.

And when slaves bully the master in the family, his own son can also come back to uphold justice.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated in the "Ancestral Precepts" that "the vassal king can raise troops to serve the king in times of crisis. That is to say, there are no pure ministers in the court, and there are villains in the court. The princes and kings will train soldiers to stand by, and the emperor will secretly order the kings. Command the town to fight for peace. .”

In order to seek a happy death, Huang Zicheng had no choice but to repeat what he said in the East Palace that day.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand lightly and said, "Give him a good time."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys the order." Jiang Yu said as he took the order.

Huang Zicheng also kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Immediately afterwards, he was taken down by Jin Yiwei.

Jiang Yu was still lying on the ground motionless.

The entire Jinshen Hall was so quiet that a needle could almost be heard.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the note on the desk again, which recorded the dispute between Zhu Yun and Huang Zicheng, and Zhu Yunwen blocked his way and questioned him.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "God treats us well..."

Feeling relieved, he said: "Speaking of which, we still have to thank the third brother for his stubbornness. If he hadn't insisted on killing Zhan Hui and fighting against us, we didn't know that we still have a capable grandson... …

After being relieved, I was a little scared immediately.

We must know that if it wasn't for Zhu Yunxi's sudden emergence, he quickly occupied Zhu Yuanzhang's attention.

Then Zhu Yunqi will try for the position of grandson!
Because this is Zhu Yuanzhang's original idea!
Judging from the situation reported by Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunqi will definitely cut down the feudal clan in the future!
It is one thing to be a vassal king, but another state of mind to be an emperor!

There is nothing wrong with Huang Zicheng teaching the emperor's thoughts and considerations to the emperor's grandchildren.

If the prince and grandson don't understand what the emperor desperately wants, then they are not far from being slaughtered.

Therefore, the vassal kings knew the emperor's fear and restraint on them, which was only good for the vassal king's life, and this was exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang hoped.
