Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 390 The Great Court Meeting Begins

Erhu said again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I also found out that those rogue officials have sent out dead soldiers a few days ago!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, then stared at the two tigers closely, and said in a cold voice: "Send dead soldiers to Peking?"

Erhu hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we are sending you to Beiping. According to their footsteps, those dead soldiers should have arrived in Beiping City by now!
Even if it means traveling eight hundred miles and traveling day and night, it's useless! "

"Didn't we ask you to keep an eye on the people in the East Palace?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stare, "Ahem..."

"This humble minister has a great responsibility and is responsible for his death. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body!"

Erhu's face was filled with fear.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, he said bitterly: "A bunch of traitors!"

Erhu knelt down in front of the palace, his face full of shame.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di again and said in a cold voice: "Fourth brother, don't worry. If there is a casualty in Prince Yan's palace, we will cut Huang Zicheng's traitors into pieces one by one, pull out their muscles and bones, and give you an explanation!"

"What a Zhu Yunwen, who is so heartless and cruel to his flesh and blood relatives! We are also blind, to think that he is filial and kind!"

Zhu Di said quietly: "Dad, don't be anxious, taking care of yourself is the most important thing. As for the few dead soldiers under Zhu Yunwen, they can't do anything to me, Prince Yan's Mansion."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and then he realized that from beginning to end, Zhu Di, who should be anxious the most, had always had a calm expression and was not anxious at all, except for being a little surprised at the beginning.

"Fourth, did you expect this?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said slowly: "Dad, I was fully prepared when Zhu Yunwen couldn't do anything to me.

In addition to preparing to evacuate to Goryeo, I was also on guard against that kid Zhu Yunwen who jumped over the wall and tried to assassinate me! "

"I see!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"You should also know that those aristocratic families and civil servants are the most cunning and cunning people who can bow down to the Yuan Dynasty and also bow to our Zhu family.

For their benefit, they can do all kinds of unscrupulous things.

What kind of precautions have you taken so that the dead soldiers sent by the civil servants of the aristocratic families can't do anything to your Prince Yan's Mansion? "

Hearing this, Erhu also quickly looked at Zhu Di.

My heart is full of expectations. Prince Yan's Mansion can really guard against the dead soldiers sent by those aristocratic thieves.

Otherwise, if he commits such a huge negligence, his two tigers will die hundreds of times, and the sin will not be eradicated!

"hey-hey!"

Zhu Di smiled proudly and said: "Dad, our Prince Yan's Mansion is very generous to all the servants and guards in the Mansion every year.

No one can buy them off. "

"As for the people of Beiping Mansion, I am confident that Prince Yan's Mansion has shown enough kindness to them in the past few years.

When my eldest brother was still alive, those thieves from aristocratic families, in order to benefit from trade with Goryeo, did not hesitate to unite with Lan Yu and others, capture some people around Beiping City, and threaten them to frame me.

Now, as long as this happens again, there is no need for Prince Yan's Mansion and Jin Yiwei to investigate the truth.

As long as those thieves have any ill will towards us, the people of Beiping City will discover them and send them to the guards at the gate of Prince Yan's Palace! "

"Are you kidding us, you scoundrel?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him directly, his face full of disbelief.

Below, Erhu also stared with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

In this case, unless the entire people of Beiping Mansion are spies from Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhu Di smiled softly and said: "Dad, we have been in Beiping Prefecture for so many years, and we have brought great governance to Beiping Prefecture, especially Wanping County, Daxing County, and Tongzhou.

The people in these three places were barely able to feed themselves, and now, their families not only have enough money, but also have enough food to last for two years.

Moreover, they have also built brick and tile houses, and all the children of the common people can go to social schools for enlightenment, read and write, and then go to school..."

"Dad, you know the thoughts of these people best. What do you think these people will do if there are thieves who want to harm our Prince Yan's Mansion?
We also gave an order that as long as anyone can make meritorious service to our Prince Yan's Mansion, he will be rewarded heavily! "

Erhu opened his mouth wide, his scalp numb.

Even if he were to disguise himself, he probably wouldn't be able to hide for two days in Beiping City in this situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of relief and no longer worried about those dead soldiers.

As an ordinary citizen, as long as you treat them sincerely and provide them with adequate food and clothing, those people will definitely regard Prince Yan's Mansion as their biggest benefactor.

In this way, not to mention just a few dead soldiers, even if the imperial court sends a large army to attack, these common people might pick up swords and guns and follow the Yan Palace to resist the imperial army.

Thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di closely.

"Fourth Brother, have you long had thoughts of rebellion?"

Zhu Di's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously felt a chill running down his back. He quickly explained with fear on his face: "Dad, I was wronged. As the king of the Ming Dynasty, how could the child rebel?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Then what are you planning to do with all the grenades and artillery produced in your firearms workshop?"

A flash of panic flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and he said loudly: "Dad, that boy Zhu Yunwen and the officials in the court have blatantly attacked the Yan Palace.

After all, I am also the dignified King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty. I have led troops to conquer the Tatars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty for the Ming Dynasty, and even solved the Japanese invasion of the Ming Dynasty!

With such achievements, I refuse to accept it. I would rather die than not be bullied by Zhu Yunzhen. I want to retreat to Korea! "

"A bunch of evildoers, none of them can make us worry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with disdain: "You think we don't know about those little tricks of yours? That bastard Zhu Yunwen interrupted the cooperation between the Shen family and your Prince Yan's Palace, so you used sugar to attract a group of southern gentry, merchants, and officials to force Yunwen."

"Now, if we don't call you to the capital, won't your Confucian monk Daoyan be in the capital, lobbying most of the officials in our court to come over and give you Prince Yan's house advice?"

"..."

Zhu Di replied with a flattering smile: "I can't hide anything from my father!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and ignored Zhu Di, but looked at Erhu.

"Keep a close eye on those traitors and make sure there are no more mistakes."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The two tigers responded quickly.

Then, thinking of something, he hurriedly said again: "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the family members of Huang Zicheng, She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang and other thieves are all fleeing.

There are too many of these people, and the ministers do not have enough manpower, for fear of alerting the enemy.I don’t know how to deal with these people. Could you please give me some instructions? "

"Escape? If they want to assassinate the Ming Dynasty King, where can they escape to?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "We are giving you an order. You can call the Jinyi Guards. As long as the families of these people leave the capital twenty miles away, they will all be captured. No one is allowed to escape, no matter life or death!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Erhu responded again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang finished writing the edict and handed it to Erhu, Erhu hurriedly took the people and walked out.

Zhu Di felt some pain in his shoulders and stood up to relax and unblock his muscles and bones.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly over and said, "Read the memorial carefully, don't be lazy!"

Zhu Di: "..."

……

on the other side.

Erhu took the edict and went directly to the Jinyi Guardhouse.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's edict, all the imperial guards were excited.

Immediately, everyone pretended to be young and strong ordinary people and dispersed in batches.

They are best at arresting the family members of those rogue officials.

As for Huang Zicheng, She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang and other officials, after sending people to send away their most valued family members.

Their expressions suddenly became serious.

Next, they fought desperately to survive in a desperate situation.

"If we can't bring down King Yan and let the emperor's grandson be deposed, everything will be over!"

"The Ming Dynasty has been massacred by that man for decades. We must not allow that tyrannical person in King Yan to succeed to the throne!"

"It's a pole, it's a pole!"

The crowd bowed their hands to each other with solemn faces, and then retreated with firm eyes.

The emperor's grandson did not have the support of any relatives or generals in the army. Officials like them could only choose formal channels to remonstrate and impeach.

Literary advice!

Unite more officials and launch an attack together at the court meeting tomorrow. We must ruin the reputation of King Yan Zhu Di. It is best to kill King Zhu Di of Yan.

The entire capital was instantly plunged into a strange atmosphere.

Many officials knew the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's secret order to King Yan Zhu Di to enter the capital.

natural.

Some officials looked horrified, saying that they would never allow King Zhu Di of Yan to be promoted to crown prince.

There are also some officials who have made up their mind that no matter who comes to persuade them, as long as there is no order from His Majesty, they will never speak at will.

The remaining part was full of joy.

Half of them were persuaded by Master Daoyan, and the other half supported King Yan themselves!

Undercurrent is surging!

The next day.

Great meeting.

Zhu Yuanzhang sits on the dragon chair.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen stood below with a sad expression.

Next to him was Zhu Di with a solemn face.

After that, there were the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

As usual, after the report.

Below, a supervisory censor took the lead in attacking.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's expression suddenly changed.

Zhu Di on the side noticed something and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yunwen with contempt.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed and he said quietly: "What does Jing Qing have to report?"

Jing Qing, the censor of Zuo Qiandu, was the closest official to the East Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting that I am impeaching the King of Yan, Zhu Di, for secretly manufacturing weapons and armor in the Beiping Mansion. He is suspected of having evil intentions and rebellion!"

"Is there any evidence?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression condensed and he asked coldly.

Jing Qing said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the evidence is the five hundred Yanshan Guards brought by His Highness King Yan. The weapons and armor they use are not owned by our Ming army!"

"Hmph, King Yan Zhu Di is so brave!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhu Di who was below him, and then asked again: "I wonder if there is any other lover who has a memorial?"

"Your Majesty, I'll tell you what I'm doing!"

Lian Zining, the deputy capital censor, stood up again and looked at Zhu Di standing aside, his face full of anger.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting to your Majesty that I am impeaching the King of Yan, Zhu Di, for violating the orders of the imperial court, secretly making gunpowder bombs, and building warships. He is lawless and reckless. He should be severely punished to shock all the vassal kings!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "What else?"

Below, the expressions of all the courtiers changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's partiality intention was too obvious.

"Your Majesty, King Yan is so lawless and reckless, and if he is not severely punished, other kings will surely follow suit.

In the future, all the vassal kings secretly forged weapons, armor, and gunpowder bombs. The capital was in danger, and the Ming Dynasty was in danger! "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Di aside.

"Qing Lian's words are reasonable. How does King Yan explain it?"
