Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 30 You are a good man

Find out what the concept of the dragon robe is, I believe there is no need to say more.

The common people originally thought that Marquis Pingyang would only bully the common people, but they didn't expect him to plan to rebel!At that time, the common people who watched the excitement had sad faces and smiles in their hearts.

Of course, it goes without saying. In addition to bullying the people, the evidence of rebellion by Pingyang Hou is already very sufficient. His Highness Liao Wang announced on the spot that Pingyang Hou forcibly occupied the good land, occupied the women, and the fish and meat of the common people. Conspiracy and rebellion are unforgivable crimes, and they must be executed!
Although the Marquis of Pingyang has an iron certificate for exemption from death, the iron certificate for exemption from death cannot avoid the death penalty of rebellion and treason!
It stands to reason that the serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion should be reported to the emperor to deal with it. In fact, the death penalty also needs to be notified and approved, but this dragon robe was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Qi naturally omitted this link. They don't care, as long as they see that the wicked will be rewarded, and the world will be fair.

It's ridiculous that Pingyang Hou is still squatting in the prison of Fengyang Mansion, thinking that he has an iron bond to avoid death, no matter how serious the crime is, he will not die. As a result, the guards of the Liao King took Pingyang Hou to Caishikou as soon as he ransacked his house. When they arrived at Caishikou, the news of the yellow robe was just found, His Royal Highness Liao Wang waved his hand, and the decision was made!
The common people just saw the dragon robe was found in Pingyanghou's mansion, and then Pingyanghou was taken to Caishikou. Some officials read out the crimes of Pingyanghou, which were all reported by those ordinary people. Listed out one by one, the one who raped the old sow was not spared. The common people who saw it clapped their hands and applauded. The next step is naturally the traditional art of throwing things, but vegetable leaves and eggs are not thrown. After all, food is precious, and everyone throws things like stones.

I saw His Royal Highness King Liao sitting on the main seat like Bao Qingtian in Song Dynasty, and then threw a wooden stick to the ground. The executioner walked up to Pingyanghou with a knife without saying a word.

Pingyanghou knelt on the ground, his hands and feet were bound and he couldn't move, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth strips. This was mainly to prevent Pingyanghou from saying some ugly words when he was about to die, but he looked at Pingyanghou with a snot Tears, saliva flowed all over his chin, trembling, and even a puddle of steaming liquid flowed out of his crotch, he reckoned that he just wanted to cry for mercy.

The executioner has seen all kinds of scenes. Before the execution, the feces and urine are just a small scene. He raised the knife and put it on Pingyanghou's neck. Then he saw the hand raised the knife and fell. The once mighty Pingyanghou, just like this !
It was the first time for Zhu Qi to see a beheading scene, and the physical resistance was just a flash, thinking of what Pingyanghou had done to the people, there was nothing uncomfortable about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was on the second floor of a house, watching the head of his adopted son fall to the ground at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the past scene, saying that it is impossible to have no feeling at all, but he is the emperor after all, this personal feeling , without showing the slightest intention, turned around, and said to the internal officer:

"I'm seeing him off for the last time. Let's go back. Otherwise, the servants won't see me for a day, and then they will start talking again. The magistrate of Fengyang Mansion will be dismissed and investigated, and King Liao will act as magistrate temporarily. , and wait for the Ministry of Officials to arrange a new candidate, then let King Liao escort this beast to respond to the interrogation."

The internal officer bowed his head in response, Zhu Yuanzhang turned and left with his hands behind his back.

…………

After Zhu Qi presided over the trial, the common people in Fengyang Mansion clapped their hands and applauded. Naturally, they couldn't help but be grateful to His Royal Highness Liao Wang who presided over justice. This really made Zhu Qi feel a little bit embarrassed. Originally, he was forced, so Zhu Yuanzhang should pretend to be the right one.

After returning to the Xinggong, Zhu Qi heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had gone back to Yingtian Mansion first, and that the prefect of Fengyang Mansion should not be arrested. Let himself temporarily replace the post of prefect, and then go back when the Ministry of Officials arranges a new prefect.

Come on, he and Zhu Di will stay in Fengyang for a few more days, but Zhu Qi knows nothing about being a magistrate. Fortunately, Fengyang Mansion, as the central capital, has its own set of complete teams, so Zhu Qi doesn't need it Don't worry about anything.

And the speed of the common people was also very fast. On the second day after Pingyanghou was beheaded, there was a scene in the theater about His Royal Highness Liao Wang privately patrolling Fengyang Mansion in disguise and angrily interrogating Pingyanghou. It's called a well-organized one, and the common people like to watch it.

Naturally, the streets and alleys also had more conversations after dinner, but Zhu Qi occasionally heard a few gossips and was a little confused.

"You don't know, our Royal Highness Liao came here for the Marquis of Pingyang. You also know that Marquis of Pingyang is arrogant and domineering. There is also a martial arts master with a bald monk under his command. That night, His Royal Highness Liao and that big The bald head fought for three hundred rounds, and the entire Huaihe River was turned upside down! It was like a dragon sucking water on the spot, and the bald head fell to the ground in response, and was drowned alive by the water of the Huaihe River."

In the teahouse, a middle-aged man said as if he saw it with his own eyes, but there were onlookers eating melon seeds nearby and said:

"No, I was at the scene at the time. Was it killed by a female assassin? It wasn't His Royal Highness Liao Wang."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately pulled a big-eared melon seed up, and angrily said:
"What are you talking about, you're here, and I'm here too. His Royal Highness King Liao beheaded that martial arts master angrily, and then captured Pingyanghou!"

The onlookers also praised it one after another, not to mention, His Royal Highness King Liao is amazing.

Hearing that Zhu Qi was embarrassed, it was obviously the credit of that fake "Shi Xuan'er", so what do I have to do with it?

Zhu Di really likes to hear the common people brag about his third brother. Of course, those common people did not forget to bring His Royal Highness Yan Wang along to brag.

As for the female assassin pretending to be "Shi Xuan'er", Zhu Qi also arranged for someone to investigate, but there was no news. It was the bald monk who was killed by the female assassin, but he didn't expect it to be a Jiangyang thief in disguise. He is quite well-known, and he has done a lot of evil in the Jianghuai area. The Jianghu bandit is called "Evil Tathagata", and there are still many murders on him. The name is quite domineering, but the person is already dead, so I won't say more .

Zhu Qi originally thought that the female assassin had already left Fengyang Mansion, but he did not expect that on the third day after beheading Marquis Pingyang everywhere, a letter and a bag of silver were placed on the beam of the government yamen, and the official servants They are also in a daze, not knowing when this thing was put up.

Zhu Qi opened the money bag and saw that there was a full 100 taels of silver, and then the letter, which was written in delicate handwriting, said that Zhu Qi had killed Pingyang Hou, and the employer's silver was divided in half to Zhu Qi.

This is the letter and money sent by the fake "Shi Xuan'er"!It seems that she came to assassinate Pingyanghou not because of personal grievances, but because she took over the job of assassinating Pingyanghou, but she did not expect to be completed by herself in the end.

It seems that the martial arts is still very dangerous, and there is such an assassination business. Did the oiran who rescued the Xiaoxiang Pavilion earlier also accept the mission?

Zhu Qi couldn't help thinking like this.

But when I saw the last line of the letter, I was speechless for a while:
"You are a good person."

Regarding this Jianghu chivalrous woman, Zhu Qi only regarded it as a small episode in his life. After all, in his capacity as a prince, it was really difficult to have any intersection with such a Jianghu son and daughter.

But I think of the graceful figure of the Jianghu chivalrous woman, and the scene where I asked her to massage myself in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion that day. Although she was covered with a veil, just looking at the eyebrows and temperament, I still have a little expectation in my heart. .

This woman should be beautiful, right?

.........

After another five days, the new magistrate sent by the Ministry of Officials has arrived. Zhu Qi, who sits in the official mansion every day, hurriedly handed over to him for a while, in fact, it was just a few words of pleasantries, and then cleaned up. Dongxi took Zhu Di and returned to Yingtian Mansion with Xu Da.

Because the magistrate is really too busy, and he has to take care of everything, such as persuading farmers, taxation, establishment of schools, enlightenment, lawsuits, prisons, Baojia, worship of gods, post delivery, water conservancy, warehouses, etc., just looking at official documents every day Just look like the scalp is numb.

Other magistrates still have the so-called masters to help with these matters. Zhu Qi has no masters who understand government affairs, and only Zhu Di can be used for a while. As a result, the two brothers are busy from morning till night.

After working as a magistrate for a few days, Zhu Qi missed his princely life very much.

Sure enough, dealing with government affairs is not what I am good at, and I still feel at ease doing these small businesses.

He came at the end of March and left at the end of April. This time he went back much faster, and he only walked for two days. When he saw the city wall of Yingtian Mansion again, Zhu Qi felt like going home.

But to Zhu Qi's surprise, he had just entered the city on his front foot, and someone came over on his back foot. The person who came was shopkeeper He, who was the shopkeeper of the Royal Entertainment Center that Zhu Qi was looking for.

I thought there was something wrong with the operation of the Royal Entertainment Center, but shopkeeper He came here for the work of the craftsmen.

"Your Highness, I have already found quite a few craftsmen that you told me to look for, but I don't know what you want to use them for, Your Highness, and a bunch of people are still waiting. Would you like to give me some instructions?"

Zhu Qi was stunned, yes, I almost forgot, I am going to improve the printing technology myself, and I am looking for craftsmen to practice and study!
Stop talking, lead the way ahead, go chat with the craftsmen!
