People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 499 Sister, the murderer must be Zhang Yi
"Lanyu didn't come out, she was just sent to the Criminal Department to be interrogated!

Although His Majesty the Crown Prince begged for mercy, His Majesty still refused to let him go! "

Zhang Yi heard this, but there was no smile on his face. He said meaningfully:
"I'm afraid that Your Majesty is carrying a sedan chair for His Highness the Crown Prince, asking His Highness the Crown Prince to pay some price to rescue the other party!

If His Majesty really wanted to kill Lan Yu, he would not be alive until now!

Since he can get out of the Jin Yiwei's prison, he can also get out of the Punishment Department's prison, just watch! "

In Zhang Yi's eyes, it was impossible for Lan Yu to die!
Zhu Biao was still the prince, and Zhu Yuanzhang had enough patience with this person.

The Lan family members are all crazy critics. He can see it himself, and Lao Zhu can probably see it too.

Therefore, Lao Zhu will definitely polish the blue jade and make the blue jade docile to Zhu Biao.

This matter itself is not interesting. Although Lan Yu does not deal with him, there is no hatred.

Zhang Yi put the matter aside. He chatted with Zhou Tong for a while, and Zhou Tong said goodbye and left.

Day two.

Zhang Yi went out early in the morning and went to the palace to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

When he saw Lao Zhu, he sent over the plan he had prepared.

"You want to use cement concrete to build a teaching building in a Taoist temple..."

Zhu Yuanzhang almost blacked out when he looked at Zhang Yi's plan.

This guy is really ruthless when he asks me for money!

Just talking about building a building can almost greatly increase his budget.

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Your Majesty has never seen a concrete building after all. Why don't you use a new method to build it and let your Majesty see it?

After all, if you plan to use a lot of these things in Peiping, you must have a reference..."

What he said was high-sounding, but Lao Zhu didn't believe it.

However, considering that Zhang Yi would not spend money intentionally, he generously agreed on this matter.

"I will approve a note for you. You can take the note to the Ministry of Industry and ask them to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for money!"

After Lao Zhu gave the order, he continued to look down. When he saw that Zhang Yi wanted to use the daughter of the guilty minister, his frown deepened.

This matter was difficult for him to accept.

,

Girls going to school itself challenges social morality and ethics.

Neo-Confucianism emphasizes that women should not show up in public.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the rules he had set in Zhejiang due to factory reasons, Zhang Yi continued to challenge his moral bottom line...

"Is it really necessary to have a girl?"

Lao Zhu took a deep breath, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and asked Zhang Yi.

"Your Majesty, time waits for no one, and knowledge does not distinguish between men and women!
I think your Majesty should know that instead of becoming prostitutes, it would be more appropriate for the daughters of these guilty ministers to be used in this way!
How much money can a prostitute earn for Your Majesty?

But these women, even if they don’t talk about other hard work, are careful women, they go to learn to do accounting!
This can save His Majesty a lot of audit costs!

If they go to study medicine, will the concubines in the palace be able to use them for some diseases that are inconvenient for men to treat..."

"Okay, okay, I can't help you!"

Lao Zhu knew very well that since he wanted to use Zhang Yi, he had to pay the price.

Zhang Yi has his own thoughts in his heart, and as long as his thoughts don't violate his bottom line, he has enough patience.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was satisfied, Zhu Yuanzhang launched the reform plan for monks and Taoism that he handed over last time.

"This thing you handed over has caused a lot of trouble!"

Zhang Yi's expression remained unchanged. He knew on his knees that what he proposed would affect the interests of too many monks and Taoist priests.

Let alone Buddhists scolding him, Taoist priests such as Maoshan and Quanzhen may not look good on him.

Zhang Yi was mentally prepared for this incident and waited for the emperor to speak.

"The Department of Daolu and the Department of Senglu are responsible for managing the specific affairs of Buddhism and Taoism!

Zong is ready to set up an organization with you as the center!
I haven’t decided on a name yet, and I haven’t thought about the structure yet!

But it’s up to you to implement reform!You have to be prepared to suppress them!
I would like to recommend some talents from Buddhism and Taoism to follow you!

If you can convince them, your position will be stable after a while..."

Zhang Yi was noncommittal about this.

He changed the subject and asked:
"Your Majesty, I wonder where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is?"

"In the Prince's Mansion, Hu Weiyong is probably looking for his way, thinking of a way...

Well, don’t think too much, just go back first! "

Hearing this, Zhang Yi stood up and left.

When Lao Zhu watched him leave, he asked someone to inquire about Zhu Biao.

After confirming that Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong were in the Prince's Mansion, the emperor smiled:
"This Hu Weiyong is quite knowledgeable!

Knowing that my way is not going to work, I will take the prince's way!

If Lan Yu comes out in the future, she will have to acknowledge his affection!

Even if Lan Yu is killed by me, with his behavior today, whether in Chang Mansion, the prince or me, he has done enough to show his appearance! "

Regarding Lan Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made a plan in his mind.

Let Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong do some hard work. If Lan Yu doesn't beat him, Lao Zhu won't be able to use him with confidence!
……

"Sapphire..."

Yingtian Mansion, Prison Department of Punishment!

Lan Yu's clothes are in rags and her body is covered with wounds.

These wounds were all left in prison, but no one from the Ministry of Punishment punished him.

However, the stinking environment around and the wound festering!
Things are not going well for Lan Yu!
In his confusion, he heard someone calling him.

Lan Yu opened her eyes, only to find that there was a woman vaguely in the bastard's cell.

He took a closer look, who was it not his sister Lan?
"sister……"

The moment Lan Yu saw Lan, she became very excited:
"Why are you here?"

"Under the care of Lord Chaozhong, I will come quietly to see you..."

Lan's appearance was haggard, which made Lan Yu feel a little distressed.

"You don't have to worry too much here, there are people in the middle of the court to help you move around!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Hu are thinking of a solution!

Since you can get out of the imperial edict, you also have a chance to get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!

It's just that you don't have a strong temper. You should admit it!
Your Majesty will only be angry with you for a while. When he gets angry with you, he will naturally let you out! "

There was also regret on Lan Yu's face.

He couldn't help asking:
"Sister, my brother-in-law is Chang Yuchun, and my niece is marrying the prince, isn't it...

Your Majesty is too cruel..."

"Brother, what you violated is military law. If it had been anyone else, you would have been beheaded by the emperor!

You can stand here just because of your brother-in-law, the prince, and Mr. Hu!

This time you go out, you have to keep a low profile!

Our Lan family can't stand the trouble anymore..."

After Lan finished speaking, her tears couldn't help falling and she started crying.

Lan Yu only thought she was sad for herself, but who knew she said:
"A few years ago, one of my sons died, and now another son is missing!
Now that you are also behind bars, what did our Chang family do wrong? God is so unfair..."

"Sister, what did you say, who is missing?"

Lan Yu's hair stood on end as she hurriedly asked Lan.

"What you don't know is that while you were being escorted back to the capital, your nephew Chang Mao was also arranging for the Xuanwu Army to return to the south!

But one day he left the military camp with two of his subordinates without saying anything about the situation!
Just disappeared..."

Lan Yu's face suddenly became uncertain, and he had an ominous premonition.

Thinking of what Chang Mao said to him when his money was taken away, Lan Yu quickly said:

"Auntie, do you know if that boy Zhang Yi is back?" Zhang Yi?

Lan had deliberately avoided this name. After Lan Yu reminded him, he immediately remembered it.

"Why didn't you come back? Now my family is prosperous, the emperor's benefactor, the noble lord of the imperial court...

Brother, why are you mentioning that unlucky person? "

"Did he return from the sea?"

Lan Yu ignored Lan and continued to ask.

Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.

"That's it, sister, if Chang Mao is really dead, it must be the hand of this demon!"

Lan Yu sat down on the ground and sighed.

Although he is crazy, he is not stupid.

Recalling what Chang Mao said to him before leaving, Lan Yu immediately locked eyes on Zhang Yi.

"Brother, what did you say?"

Lan was shocked when he heard this. Was Zhang Yi the murderer of his son?

Lan Yu told Lan that she had a grudge against Zhang Yi in the north and Chang Mao planned to make Zhang Yi look good.

Lan's face turned red when he heard this, and a surge of anger arose in his heart.

She would not blame her son for taking the initiative to harm others, she would only feel that Zhang Yi had cheated their family.

"I just said that this evil spirit is unlucky. He has dealt with our family, and nothing good has ever happened to our family!

Okay, kill my son, I'm not done with him!
Brother, just wait, I will write to the master right now and ask the master to settle the score with him!

Chang Yuchun is a loser. Even his son was killed, yet he still calls others brothers all day long! "

After Lan finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave!

Lan Yu quickly suppressed her: "Sister, you are confused..."

He firmly grasped Lan's sleeves and pressed his whole body against the cell fence.

"Sister, go and tell your brother-in-law that Chang Mao wants to kill the court officials?

Let’s not talk about whether my brother-in-law will side with us after hearing this. Even if he sides with us, what can he do?
Raise an army to rebel, or report to the emperor?
We don't care about this matter, and there's nothing my brother-in-law can do about it!

And based on my understanding of my brother-in-law, it’s not certain whether he will help Chang Mao...

Regardless of whether he is willing to avenge Chang Mao, I am afraid he will also anger you, sister! "

When Lan Yu said this, Lan himself calmed down!
"Did my son die in vain?"

Lan gritted his teeth and felt sad in his heart.

She has already lost a son, and now Chang Mao, the eldest son, is also dead. What will the Chang family do?
Lan married Chang Yuchun, who respected her very much.

But whether a woman's status in the family is stable or not depends mainly on taking care of the children!

Chang Yuchun is now in the prime of life, but she is gradually declining in appearance.

What should I do if there are three problems in my family?
Thinking of this, Lan hated Zhang Yi even more.

"Brother, what do you think we should do?"

"Sister, don't panic, wait until I get out... We, the Lan family, are not that easy to bully!"

Lan Yu hated Zhang Yi deeply, and the anger in his heart was no less than that of Lan.

"I will plead guilty tomorrow and beg for mercy!
I'm willing to pay any price to get out!
Sister, go to Hu Weiyong’s house and look for the Crown Princess!
The princess can persuade the prince!
Hu Weiyong has a grudge against that kid, and he will be our ally from now on!

When the younger brother gets out, the younger brother will check immediately!

As long as it is found that Chang Mao really died in the hands of that boy, I swear to you, sister, brother!
I will definitely let that kid break into pieces! "

"Okay, when I get out, I'll go visit Mr. Hu!"

After the Lan brothers and sisters made an agreement, Lan left the prison.

The next day, Lan Yu confessed in prison and begged the emperor to convict him.

He behaved very humbly and no longer looked as domineering as before.

Lao Zhu received the memorial from the Minister of Punishment and nodded slightly.

Lan Yu is willing to admit his mistakes, and he can go along with the flow and sell the prince a favor.

"Did Lan go to the prison last night?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Did you hear what they said?"

"Your Majesty, all the jailers were out at that time and I never heard it!"

"Forget it, go give the prince a message and ask him to go to the Ministry of Punishment and take the person away!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to write a letter.

In the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Biao received the emperor's prompt and personally went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest someone.

Under the personal guidance of the Minister of Punishment, Zhu Biao entered the prison of the Punishment Ministry.

"Sapphire!"

When Lan Yu heard Zhu Biao's words, she just knelt down:
"The guilty minister Lan Yu has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"You know what's wrong?"

"I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

Lan Yu behaved extremely submissively in the dungeon. He specifically asked Zhu Biao to give him a chance, but he did not say that he was the emperor.

In other dynasties, this would be heartbreaking words.

However, the Lan family also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was not wary of Zhu Biao.

Now that the prince has opened a mansion, Lao Zhu simply encourages his courtiers to go to the prince's mansion often to ask questions.

This clearly shows his attitude of not treating Zhu Biao as an outsider.

Zhu Biao was very satisfied with Lan Yu's answer. The tacit understanding between him and his father was that Lao Zhu suppressed Lan Yu and gave him favors.

"It's good that you know, if you follow my wishes, you deserve to be punished this time!

But the Crown Princess thinks of you as her uncle, so I decided to give you another chance!
But if you do it again, I won’t be able to save you!

Do you know that you will be careful in your words and deeds in the future? "

Hearing this, Lan Yu said loudly:

"Lanyu must be cautious in words and deeds from now on, and listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's teachings!"

Zhu Biao was very satisfied with his attitude of never leaving His Highness the Prince.

"Come here, let General Lan change his clothes!"

After being hit with a stick, it's natural to give him a date.

Zhu Biao gave an order, and the waiters filed in and began to change Lan Yu's clothes.

He walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and Lan Yu quickly followed after changing his clothes.

Zhu Biao brought Lan Yu back to the Prince's Mansion and entertained him personally.

Lan Yu looked like she was crying with gratitude, how could she still be as domineering as before?

"Under state-owned laws, you will be demoted this time and will be idle at home for the time being!

During these days, read books and cultivate your mind and nature! "

Zhu Biao had some teachings for Lan Yu, and Lan Yu accepted them humbly!
But when he left the Prince's Mansion, there was a gloomy look on his face.

He recognized the love of Prince Zhu Biao, but it was impossible for him to stay honest.

Lan Yu immediately returned to Chang Mansion.

After discussing with Chang, he

Then they went to Hu Weiyong's house together.

He knew that the emperor's royal guards must be staring at him, but it didn't matter.

Hu Weiyong did his best for him, so there was nothing wrong with him going to Hu Weiyong to express his gratitude.
