Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 188 Controversy between courts and courts, everyone has their own ghosts, and officials are deadly admonitions!Yuan Zhang was furious! 【Subscribe】

Night came,

The palace became more solemn and mysterious under the moonlight.

The moonlight sprinkled on the palace wall, reflecting a faint silver light, showing a solemn atmosphere.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Yuanzhang stood outside the hall.Looking up at the sky, looking at the scene of the palace, quietly admiring the masterpieces created by yourself.

How many years have passed, Zhu Yuanzhang's nerves have been tense, and he is rarely relaxed like today. The autumn wind blows over the Hongwu Emperor and raises his robe.

"The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete."

"Pity Qin Huang Han Wu, a little less literary talent; Tang Zong Song Zu, a little less coquettish."

"The proud generation, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle."

"It's all in the past, count the romantic figures, and look at the present."

He recalled the words that the grandson-in-law said today, echoing in his mind.

The first sentence is very exciting, but the latter is somewhat embarrassing.

Those heroes in history are admired and admired by future generations.

The sentence "all the past" has become the past.

"For so many years, we feel that what we do is right."

"But in the world, there are always people who stand up and say that we are wrong and kill them all."

"Only today, we feel that maybe we are really old."

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself that he didn't even have anyone to talk to now, so he had to look at the sky.

I always heard that some warlocks can observe the sky and predict the future.

But after looking for a long time, he couldn't find a clue.

"We're really old, and we're all gone. Counting romantic figures and looking at the present, it's still the Ming Dynasty, but this present is not our present, and there should be newcomers to stand up."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyes from the sky again.

Looking at the land far away, thousands of lights are on.

"Today, Li Xiao has some truths in what he said."

"Not long ago, we studied history books and studied many dynasties. In fact, from the very beginning, we planted the hidden danger of extinction. One wrong step, one wrong step."

"However, what Li Xiao said today is similar to what we think."

"One mistake and everything is lost, no matter what, we have to choose the best heir"

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time facing the wind.

"Tomorrow morning, let's go see that kid again."

The next day, early morning.

The early morning of the Ming Dynasty was really early.

Ministers have to get up at midnight, cross most of the Meridian Gate in Beijing, and wait outside the Meridian Gate at ugly time (three o'clock in the morning).

When the drums of the Meridian Gate Tower sounded, the ministers lined up, and the palace gates opened at about five o'clock in the morning, and all the officials entered one by one.

Baiguan is early, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also early.

He slept for several hours, and woke up again at Yinshi (four o'clock in the morning).

In fact, Li Xiao knew about this a long time ago, and scoffed at it. In terms of the degree of introversion, the Ming Dynasty deserved to be awesome, and the capitalists of later generations were not so ruthless.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

With the sound of all officials meeting, the morning court officially began.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

the eunuch shouted.

In fact, although the morning court of the Ming Dynasty was early, if there was nothing to do, they could retire early. If they retired early, some officials could still sleep back.

The saying of Huilongjue came from the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, several officials mentioned some innocuous matters.

Needless to say, these officials are all from Zhu Yunqi's side.

This is just a foreshadowing, so that the Holy One will wake up and prepare for the impeachment of Li Xiao later.

Although Zhu Yunwen refused to meet these officials in private, his subordinates Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai did not do so, so what should no one in the court do?

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to doze off when he heard this, and was going to leave court early to see his grandson-in-law.

And then,
Finally one person stood up, and this person was none other than Zhong Tiexuan, who was given by the Ministry of Rites.

There are six departments in the matter, corresponding to the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.

Although he is only from the seventh rank and has a small official position, he has the right to supervise.

Tie Xuan cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that it was an iron tripod stone, and said, "Speak."

Tie Xuan said: "I want to impeach Yibin Li Xiao."

Hearing the word 'Li Xiao', Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. He had met Li Xiao yesterday, so why did someone want to impeach him today? Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed?
It shouldn't be, Tie Dingshi has always been an upright official, never forming cliques, and even a bit dead-headed, how could he do such a thing.

If someone makes trouble to impeach Li Xiao, it is because of Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across the audience, trying to find out who Tie Xuan was with...
As for Zhu Di, when he heard that Tie Xuan wanted to impeach Li Xiao, he felt cold.

He looked at Tie Xuan in surprise, he was still a good friend and he saved his life, how could he actually deal with him? !

Tie Xuan, you are so insidious, you ignore this king's solicitation of you, but go to help Zhu Yunqi, who has no close relationship with you, what is your intention!

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tie Xuan, if you want to impeach Li Xiao's opening of the house, don't mention it. I said it last time, and I won't pursue it."

"The minister is not doing this, but has more important matters."

Tie Xuan was righteous, and then said loudly: "The minister impeached Yibin Li Xiao, relying on the great love of the Holy Majesty and King Yan, for the so-called desire in the Ming Dynasty, domineering and domineering. In Beiping Mansion, he became a bully! What he did , Thrilling, this time there are already signs of dominating the king, cracking the earth to seal the king!!"

The voice fell,

Surprised sounds from all the officials resounded throughout the hall.

Who would have thought that Tie Xuan would be so impeached.

He actually said that Li Xiao wanted to be the king and hegemony, and he would crack the earth and become the king! !

This is not to make it clear that others want to rebel, this is to punish people to death.

"Tie Xuan, you are spouting dung, how can you be allowed to talk nonsense above the hall!"

Zhu Di was so angry that he had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that Tie Xuan was impeached in this way, and he wished to cut Tie Xuan off with a single knife.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di cupped his hands to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "Father, Yibin Li Xiao lives in peace in Beiping Mansion and abides by the law. Internally, he is filial to his parents, his husband and wife are harmonious, and his brothers are friendly. Externally, he loves the people and benefits one side, and the people praise him. No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with what Tie Xuan said, please check it out!"

At this moment, the hall became extremely quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he squinted and looked at the people below.

If other people impeach Li Xiao, Zhu Yuanzhang may not believe it.

If it was Tie Xuan, the usual self would really believe a thing or two.

But Zhu Yuanzhang met Li Xiao yesterday, and he already understood Li Xiao's character, so how could he be king and hegemony?
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Tie Xuan, do you know what you are talking about? You are crazy to impeach Li Xiao and make him king! How can a Yibin do it?"

Tie Xuan said in a loud voice: "I have absolutely no false words, Li Xiao's actions are already more presumptuous and unscrupulous than the vassal king!"

Zhu Di was extremely angry, and cursed: "Tie Xuan, you dare to slander my son-in-law, if you don't tell me why today, this king will cut you off on the spot, and your blood will splatter five steps!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, full of gunpowder.

All the officials looked at Tie Xuan in confusion, why did this guy go crazy today?
Isn't he friends with Zhu Di?

"Silence!" said the eunuch.

Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Di: "King Yan, do you think I will be afraid of your intimidation? Even if you splashed my blood ten steps today, I will still say it."

"You!! You, Tie Xuan, still call yourself clean."

Zhu Di said angrily: "I'm afraid you are being used by villains. Tell me, I want to see what you can say. You are not afraid of the shadow if you are upright!"

Tie Xuan cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Li Xiao was originally a Yibin, and according to the rules, he should not have an official position. He was strongly recommended by the King of Yan and became a parent official.

It is also inappropriate to have a title, which is also obtained by King Yan from the Holy One.

As far as I know, King Yan has many sons-in-law, but only one son-in-law is treated this way, so it can be seen that King Yan loves this son-in-law very much.

But King Yan was a little too fond of him! !He has become a disaster!

As far as I know, after Li Xiao took office as the magistrate of Dong'an County, he spent three days fishing and two days drying the nets. "

After finishing speaking, Tie Xuan looked around, looked at the surrounding officials, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty strictly prohibits officials from doing business, but he is going to do business to make money!!"

The voice fell.

The noise of the officials sounded again.

"Oh, how can this be done, how can officials go into business."

"That's right, officials have too much power. If they use their power, will other businessmen still have a way out?"

"Oh my god, if Mr. Tie hadn't mentioned it, I would still be in a daze."

"This is really covering the sky with one hand, becoming a local parent official, and using power to do business"

Those who talked in a low voice were naturally those who were on Zhu Yunqi's side.

The officials on Zhu Di's side were also taken aback, and began to think of countermeasures, but it was the first time they heard such a thing, and they dared not speak rashly, worrying secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked knowingly: "Zhu Di, can this happen?"

For a moment, Zhu Di's thoughts flowed, and he frantically thought about countermeasures.

In fact, many officials in the court secretly run their own businesses and properties, of course not using their own identities, but their identities as domestic slaves.

But Zhu Di couldn't use this as an excuse to say it in this court.

Otherwise, after all, it will cause great shock, and moreover, it may also force many people who stand on their side to go to the opposite side.

Yes, thinking of this, Zhu Di knew how to deal with it.

Zhu Di cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there is absolutely no such thing. Li Xiao has never been in business. It's just that my daughter Zhu Ningyun's house has some properties. Li Xiao is just helping my daughter with some small favors. As for using the power in my hand to do business, it is even more nonsense. He He never used authority to oppress others, and he was kind to others, and the people loved him very much, calling him Qingtian."

"I see."

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with this answer.

After all, Li Xiao also said yesterday that everything he did was for his granddaughter, his eyes couldn't deceive anyone, and Li Xiao was indeed kind, he felt deeply.

"nonsense."

Tie Xuan retorted: "It's fine if it's just some industries, but Li Xiao's business is huge, and he has already monopolized the business of the Beiping cloth shop. Li Xiao owns all the cloth shops in Beiping alone. These are just some industries." ?
I'm afraid it won't be long before all of Daming's cloth business is monopolized by him alone. This is probably going to bring out a giant, a giant merchant richer than Shen Wansan! ! !
Your Majesty, please think back to Shen Wansan back then. With his huge wealth, he was able to win over an army in an instant. This is a huge hidden danger! "

This Tie Xuan is worthy of being a scholar.

When impeaching people, they can always draw some allusions to tell the story, which seems to be well-founded.

Who is Shen Wansan?
The richest man in the late Yuan and Ming dynasties was as rich as an enemy country.

I heard that his assets exceeded half of the national treasury.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, he wanted to build Nanjing City. In order to show his sincerity, Shen Wansan took the initiative to contribute. Half of Nanjing City was built with Shen Wansan's money.

This has already made Zhu Yuanzhang very alert. Later, Shen Wansan actually helped Zhu Yuanzhang and rewarded the three armies, which made the soldiers happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang fully realized that this person's wealth was too great, and he could even draw a group of troops out instantly with money, so Zhu Yuanzhang killed him.

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere had arrived, other officials in the hall who were close to Zhu Yunqi also came out to impeach him.

"Your Majesty, this person is both an official and a businessman. He has outstanding abilities and can monopolize the business of a government in a short period of time. It is really terrifying. He will definitely be the next Shen Wansan to rise."

"I agree with Lord Tie's words, and it's not alarmist talk. Yibin and Li Xiao have already shown signs of development. If this continues, there is really a possibility of becoming a king."

"Historical tragedies cannot be repeated. Please Your Majesty quickly remove Li Xiao from all positions and demote him to a commoner, so as not to leave a disaster behind."

A total of seven or eight people came out to agree with Tie Xuan's statement.

On Zhu Di's side, there was no one, because this time he was really caught off guard. Obviously, the other party had already discussed in private how to impeach Li Xiao.

But Zhu Di knew what was going on, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Father, Tie Xuan's remarks are generalized and taken out of context. Li Xiao did monopolize the cloth business of the whole prefecture, but he did it for the sake of the common people, to benefit one side. The common people All compliments!"

Afterwards, Zhu Di said in a loud voice, "I would like to ask everyone present how much is the most common silk cloth used by ordinary people."

The question was thrown, but no one answered it.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Because those who can enter the court are all officials of the sixth rank or above.

Will such officials buy cloth for common people?
They also don't know how to buy cloth, and their servants buy it back, cut it and buy ready-made clothes.

Of course, there are also some officials who claim to be clean.

For example, Tie Xuan is so poor that he has worn a court dress for several years.

They also wear official uniforms on weekdays, at most they buy shoes, there are no servants in the mansion, and they don't know how to buy cloth, at most they buy ready-made clothes.

That kind of ordinary silk cloth, only the very poor people will buy cloth and ask the old tailor in the village to make a suit of clothes.

For a long time, there was no response from the hall.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang's nameless fire rushed to his forehead.

Li Xiao is indeed doing practical things, but these high-ranking officials don't even know how much cloth the common people wear.
And right now, this group of people is actually still impeaching people who do practical things? ? ?

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon chair and cursed: "You people, you still say that you care about the common people, and you don't even know the most basic thing, the price of the cloth used by the common people. How did you become an official! You floated to the sky Can’t you see the suffering below??”

The voice fell.

All the officials bowed their heads.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, looked at the officials, and said:
"Since you don't know, this king will tell you. The silk cloth that ordinary people use the most is two hundred coins a piece. But the cloth Li Xiao sells is thirty yuan a piece! Tell me, does this benefit the people? Ze Wanmin?"

The officials in the hall were once again in shock.

what? ?

There is such a huge difference in prices, which they never expected!
If so,
How much money can the cloth of thirty Wen give to the people?

If this is the case, even if it is a monopoly, it will benefit the common people!

Now, the officials from Zhu Di's camp also knew how to speak.

"Your Majesty, this move is a great charity. People's lives are not easy, and cloth is just needed, so that the people will be less likely to be profited by profiteers."

"That's right, although Li Xiao is a businessman, he is only helping Princess Yong'an with ideas, which is not a violation of the rules. It can be seen that Princess Yong'an must be kind-hearted, so he set the price like this."

"I've heard that Princess Yong'an is kind-hearted by nature. This must be her idea. Thirty cents a piece of cloth is probably just a cost and not profitable, and it will benefit the people!"

Soon, these officials found the point of rebuttal.

The focus shifted from Li Xiao to Zhu Ningyun, the princess of Yong'an County.

It is said that the granddaughter of the Holy Majesty is kind in nature and can't see the suffering of the people, so she came up with such an idea.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head and said: "I have heard about this too. My granddaughter is indeed kind-hearted. Li Xiao can be counted as helping the princess. It's okay, no crime!"

Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Li Xiao yesterday that all he did was to let his granddaughter see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and he did see the effect. The thirty-cent piece of cloth is the proof.

Other officials said that they broke the sky, and they couldn't let the common people enjoy this real benefit.

"Your Majesty, this is just Li Xiao's scheme."

Seeing that he was about to give up at this time, Tie Xuan hurriedly said: "Li Xiao's thoughts are very strong, he is indeed selling cloth for thirty cents a piece now, what is he doing?
The purpose is to overthrow other cloth houses and collect their industries.

After gradually growing, it began to radiate the surrounding provinces.

It spread like a spider's web until it covered the entire Ming Dynasty, and all the cloth business in the world belonged to one person. What a terrible thing.

At that time, Li Xiao can raise the price to two hundred Wen for a horse, three hundred Wen for a horse, or even four hundred Wen for a horse. At that time, he has no rivals, and he can set as much as he wants. Disaster! "

The voice fell.

Everyone was surprised and thought it made sense.

There is a way for businessmen to grow bigger, which is to pay the cost in the early stage, monopolize a line of business, and then obtain greater benefits.

Li Xiao never dreamed of it.

He didn't even want to be an oligarch. In the court, someone had already called him an oligarch.
"My lord, I feel that what Tie Xuan said is reasonable, so I have to guard against it."

"My lord, I think this matter is absurd. Li Xiao is doing it for the country and the people."

"Your Majesty, it will be too late after all the cloth shops in the world close down."

"Your Majesty, Tie Xuan is an alarmist, how can one person monopolize the world's business?"

Two groups of people, you have a word, I have a word, and the debate contest started.

There was a mess in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his head was going to explode, and he slapped the dragon chair and said angrily, "Shut up!"

The hall was instantly quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You all talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but who can do things that benefit the people? I don't care about the process, but only look at the results.

No matter the future or the present.

At least now I can see that the common people are benefiting, and they don’t have to suffer from the oppression of profiteers. I hate profiteers the most, but now that such a good thing happens, you all come out to refute it!

What Shen Wansan, shit!
So what about Shen Wansan's wealth, I think if he wants his head today, he will die tomorrow.

I sit in the world, will I still be afraid of a businessman? ? "

With this remark,
Everyone seems to recall the majesty of His Majesty.

Zhu Yuanzhang went on to say: "We won't discuss this matter any more, just let it go! Whether Li Xiao's true feelings are true or false, I am happy with what he is doing now!"

In the future, if you really become a giant businessman, and you are rich and unkind, I will personally deal with it!In my world, no one can mess around! "

This time.

It's a conclusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not reject this matter, and the officials also understood that what Li Xiao did was indeed honored.

It's no wonder that he has favored Zhu Di recently, probably because of Li Xiao.

Tie Xuan, who originally planned to continue the impeachment, also stopped talking.

I can't continue talking.

But at this time, among the crowd, there was a speaker who was struggling.

This person is unknown, he is an unknown junior, and has been unknown.

But at this moment, he is planning a major event, that is dead remonstrance!
As a speech officer, the thing that is most praised and praised is death advice. If you lose your body and die, you will lose your way, become successful and famous, and leave your name in history.

He is from Zhu Yunqi's side, but he is not taken seriously.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to show your face.

Once he succeeds and Zhu Yunqi ascends the throne, he will be a dragon! ! !
Bet or not.
If the bet is successful, it will be a big turnaround
"Report if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do." The eunuch shouted.

And at this moment,
The speaker finally made up his mind and walked out resolutely.

The officer cupped his hands without any fear on his face: "Your Majesty, this matter must be dealt with now, otherwise there will be endless troubles!!! Because I am afraid that after Li Xiao becomes a giant businessman, this world will no longer belong to His Majesty! At that time, who will I can handle it!"

hiss!
hiss!
hiss!
This statement came out.

Above the main hall, there were countless gasps.

Everyone looked at the warrior with compassionate eyes.

I'm afraid...the future world will not be His Majesty's world.
This is deadly remonstrance! ! !
It's a pity that the speaker will have to pay the price for his words after all, just because the person sitting on the dragon chair is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang!
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

Someone actually said this to him face to face! !

"Come here, drag me out and chop it up! Cut it up!"

The armored guards went to the hall one after another, held the person down, and pulled him out.

The speaker knew that he was dead, it was over, the bet was lost
But when he left, he still shouted, "Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty, if King Yan ascends the throne, Li Xiao will surely suffer endless troubles."

Although he is doomed, but if he shouts a few more times, he can be recorded in the history books.
Zhu Yuanzhang's beard stood up in anger. He was not dead yet. He pointed at the officer and shouted: "I will execute you Lingchi!"

The sound faded away.

And at this moment, no one dared to say a word anymore.
Ke Tiexuan.
Tie Xuan admired the speaker very much.

This is the real admonisher who dares to defend this dynasty with his life!
I am not as good as myself.
Shame on me!
But now, I must not be a counselor!

Can't watch Daming walk into the abyss!

This person gave Tie Xuan immense courage with his death!
Tie Xuan also took a step forward resolutely, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach you. I want to impeach Li Xiao for his audacity and reckless behavior. He tampered with the laws promulgated by His Majesty, increased his salary, changed his work and rest, and even added to the imperial government!!!

This is turning His Majesty into nothing. If he can change the law today, he can make the law tomorrow. After that, I dare not think about it! !
This is the evidence of Li Xiao's true domination of the king and hegemony that the minister said! !
Ignore the Holy Majesty, despise the law, this Daming is your Majesty's, not Li Xiao's, nor King Yan's.

If you don't deal with it, if you gain power in the future, you may become a king with a different surname!
At that time, there will be the strength to crack the earth and seal the king! "

The voice fell.

The whole hall was silent! !
The whole hall was shocked! ! ! !
