Chapter 172 Sudden trouble, catastrophe is imminent

Hundreds of officials gathered outside Chengtianmen, chatting freely with each other.

This is just an ordinary one-day court meeting, and everything on the surface looks so calm.

"Morning Wu Zhonghou."

"Wu Zhonghou Jin'an."

When Chen Yunfu appeared, Baiguan still greeted Chen Yunfu, but today the former seemed so absent-minded that he turned a deaf ear to these greetings and just kept looking down at his boots.

The ceremonial officer called out the names, and the Korean public Li Shanchang, who was ranked first, was still ill.

"Liang Guogong Sapphire."

"Liang Guogong Sapphire!"

The ceremonial officer raised the key, and the military officers whispered to each other.

What about sapphire?
"Liang Guogong suddenly suffered from an emergency yesterday, and he will not go to court today."

Chen Yunfu opened his mouth at this time: "The patient was sent to the General Political Department yesterday."

The ceremonial officer didn't order any more, passed the sapphire and continued down.

Just like that, all the officials arrived, except Li Shanchang and Lan Yu, and when the time came, they began to file into Chengtian Gate, and came to Fengtian Hall to wait for Le to enter.

"The saint is here!"

The little eunuch at the west side hall sang, and Zhu Yuanzhang strode in.

"The ministers and others see my emperor, all blessings."

All the officials bowed down, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the golden chair and stood still, Baoxiang sang a prayer, all the officials knelt down and kowtowed three times, calling long live, long live, long live.

"Licheng!"

It’s not a big day, and the court ceremony is relatively simple. Of course, you still have to kneel. Only when you meet the king in private, you don’t need to bow and just bow. If you don’t understand, read "Da Ming Hui Dian Volume 44", and I won’t endorse it here.

It's just that after all the officials got up, they all looked at the top of Danchi. Why is there no prince Zhu Biao there?
"Today, who didn't come to court?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, the ceremonial officer knelt under Dan Chi and replied.

"Korean Duke and Liang Guogong did not go to court due to illness."

Hearing Lan Yu's name, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and glanced at Chen Yunfu. He didn't say anything, just oh, and then waved his sleeves.

Baoxiang understood immediately behind him, and began to sing.

"Prelude if there is something to do, and go to class if there is nothing to do."

After all the officials stood still for a while, Zhan Hui stood up and bowed.

"My minister, there is a recitation."

"What's the matter?"

"I impeach Zheng Guogong Chang Mao!"

Chang Mao, who was standing obediently in the ranks of military officers, suddenly widened his eyes.

Well done, what the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached him for.

All the princes in the entire Five Armies Dudu's Mansion also looked at Zhan Hui in astonishment.

In the usual court, the military officers are almost here to fill the number of people, and they rarely speak. It is all the civil servants who are acting. Everyone can be said to be well watered. Duke, what do you want to do?
Do you want to start a civil and military struggle?

"Do you know who you are impeaching?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "If it is a matter of chasing after wind and shadow, I will punish you."

"How would you dare to criticize a duke of a state for catching wind and shadows?" Zhan Hui didn't dare to delay, took out the memorial and read aloud: "The county magistrate of Huaiyuan County, Haozhou Prefecture, Kuangwei played the impeachment. Thousands of 980 acres, more than 670 people who turned farmers into slaves, ran amok and overbearing, so they were impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I begged His Majesty to deal with it."

All the officials were in an uproar.

Accepting bribes and turning farmers into slaves.

This is all a capital offense.

"fart!"

Chang Mao jumped out in shock, pointed at Zhan Hui and gnashed his teeth and cursed: "I can't go back to my hometown in Huaiyuan for several years. How can I accept bribes, and how can I keep slaves? If you want to wrong me, you can find another way."

"Whether he was wronged or not, Zheng Guogong knows best in his heart."

Zhan Hui sneered, and presented the impeachment memorial in his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial presence.

The latter rolled his eyes and suddenly flew into a rage.

"Chang Mao, who are you, Wu Zhi!"

Chang Mao blinked: "It's the minister's brother-in-law."

"Then read it for yourself." Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial at Chang Mao's feet, and a cold voice sounded: "After reading it, give me an answer."

Chang Mao quickly picked it up and looked at it, but he was so shocked that he took several steps back.

Then he quickly reacted, knelt down with a plop and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know anything, and I never thought that my brother-in-law would dare to take bribes without telling me, and pervert the law in Huaiyuan."

"You do not know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Then your brother-in-law's confession was instigated by you behind his back, without your support, how dare he be so lawless!"

All the officials were talking about it, Chang Mao was so anxious that he was about to cry, he was just a warrior with a stupid mouth, now his relatives are rampant in Huaiyuan's hometown, the evidence is convincing that he ordered it, even if he is full of mouth, he can't say no clear.

"Collecting bribes, turning people into slaves, bullying the weak, and harming the people, Chang Mao, Chang Mao, how can I forgive you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang made consecutive shots of the gold case, roaring like thunder.

"Come on!"

Several big Han generals walked in, clasping their fists.

"Here I will take off his official robes and put him in imperial prison. That is to say, he will be interrogated by the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Ministry of Punishment. Zhan Hui, the censor of Zuodu, will be the presiding judge. After the evidence is convincing, he will be executed immediately. "

Everyone is in an uproar!

Is this going to kill a duke?It was the son of Kaiping Zhongwu Wang Chang Yuchun who killed him.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged, I am wronged."

Chang Mao was so frightened that he cried aloud. Even if he was restrained by a few big Han generals, he couldn't help struggling, and he didn't want to be dragged away like this.

Once he was sent to prison, he would really be dead.

"His Majesty."

A military officer from the Wujun government wanted to stand up and intercede, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him suddenly.

"Who dares to intercede for this bastard, it's the same crime!"

All the officials were silent and did not dare to speak, only Song Guogong Feng Sheng bit the bullet and came out.

"Your Majesty, there must be grievances in this matter. Zheng Guogong has been busy in the Southern and Northern Wars, and has never returned to his hometown in Huaiyuan. How could he instruct his relatives to commit such a crime?"

After finishing speaking, Feng Sheng bowed down and begged Zhu Yuanzhang to forgive Chang Mao.

The latter did not speak, but stared at Feng Sheng with cold eyes, and spoke after a long time.

"Feng Sheng, can't you hear what I'm saying, or don't you understand?"

"Your Majesty"

"You are Chang Mao's father-in-law!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Feng Sheng, and sternly shouted: "I let you marry by marriage in the hope that you will work together to make contributions to the country, instead of being like today, where officials protect each other and ignore human lives. I said, whoever pleads for him will be sympathetic.

Come, I will force Feng Sheng into the imperial prison. If the two are involved, they will be executed together. "

So, another duke of the state is brought in?
And more importantly, Feng Sheng has just recovered Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty, and he is a great hero of the dynasty.

Is it true that the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooking?
At this moment, no one dared to intercede for the two of them anymore, each of them wanted to bury their heads in their chests.

The atmosphere in Fengtian Temple dropped to freezing point.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around, took a last look at Chen Yunfu, stood up and shook his sleeves: "If it's okay, retreat."

All that said, let's go.

It seemed that the matter of taking the two dukes into prison just now was not worth mentioning to him.

Hundreds of officials left in a file, and there was a lot of discussion as soon as they left the Fengtian Hall, while the princes of the Five Armies Dudu's Mansion looked sad. Zhu Yuanzhang's actions today made them all feel a sense of sadness.

Both Feng Sheng and Chang Mao have made great contributions to the country.

Why was he sent to prison like this, and he was about to lose his life.

"Wu Zhonghou, the crown prince invites you to go over."

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Jixiang waited until Chen Yunfu, and hurriedly spoke up.

Chen Yunfu knew that Zhu Biao wanted to save Chang Mao, so he came to him to find a way.

Ha ha.

A way, who has a way.

Chen Yunfu looked up to the sky and sighed.
