Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 436 The crime of treason
Late at night, Wenhua Palace.

There are lights burning in the hall, but there is a chilling air in the bones. At any time, there are a lot of guards patrolling the inner city.

"Wow...wow..." The inspecting imperial guards walked past the hall, and the sound of armor rubbing faintly reached Zhu Biao's ears.

Zhu Biao's eyes showed exhaustion and irritability that could not be concealed, and there were many memorials on the desk.

He flicked through the memorial in his hand with one hand, while frowning, not even noticing whether Shen Zhiwen came in from the outside with a tray.

Shen Zhiwu looked at Zhu Biao's haggard appearance from a distance, and felt a little pain in his heart: "Oh, Your Highness is really busy these days, there are so many things, big and small."

In the past six months, he has been very busy with the affairs in the north. The two have known each other for several years, and they know his ambition well, so it can be said that they understand and support him.

His pain and pressure, no one knows better than her, more uncomfortable.

Although she wanted to comfort her, she knew Zhu Biao's temper, strong nature, and the pride of the prince in her bones, so she would never accept any comfort or pity.I can only approach with a relaxed look: "There are still many things to do."

"Well, why are you here?" Zhu Biao came back to his senses, looked at her, and smiled.

Shen Zhizhi gently put down the tray, and said softly: "It's so late, Your Highness should rest early, there are so many state affairs, how can there be time to finish them?"

Zhu Biao sighed lightly, took the soup on the plate, took a sip, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's delicious, and the taste is much better than that made by Dianshan Bureau."

"If Your Highness likes it, the concubine will make one every night." Shen Zhishi chuckled, raised his handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of Zhu Biao's mouth.

Zhu Biao shook his head, and pointed to the memorabilia on the case: "Look, there is another memo in Guangzhou, saying that Zhu Liangzu insulted the women of the people and was greedy for the money of the people."

"It's best to leave this matter to the Ministry of Punishment." Shen Zhizhi helped him sort out the memorials next to him: "Your Highness didn't go to Jinwang Palace today."

Zhu Biao took another sip of soup, put down the soup bowl, and then began to talk: "Some things are warnings in the lonely heart, and there are always bumps. Hu Weiyong secretly hid the mines and the Dragon King Cannon.

Today, the fourth child also said that when he was in Jingzhou Mansion in Huguang, he found that local officials were holding gunpowder and mines to blow up the boat.If it wasn't discovered early..."

Whether Shen Zhi took a few glances, continued to lower his head to sort out the memorial, put it back in the distance, and looked at Zhu Biao beside him: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with it?"

"I've arranged for Lu Zhong to investigate him, and I hope he's still my good third brother." Zhu Biao sighed, apparently just to comfort himself.

Shen Zhi thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head and chuckled: "You, if some things are guided in a different way, they will become your arms instead. It's all up to you."

Zhu Biao suddenly nodded.

On the second day, after Hu Weiyong stayed in Zhao Prison for one night, he recruited everything.

Emperor Zhu was very angry, and only said that he would try his best to picket the party members related to Hu Weiyong and put them all in the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

At noon, Li Shanchang came to the East Palace to meet Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, thank you for your words at the beginning. The old minister is very grateful." Li Shanchang said with a smile, holding the teacup in both hands.

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Gu just did something with little effort."

Li Shanchang knew in his heart that His Royal Highness had asked him to clean himself up and be alone.If he had been in close contact with Hu Weiyong, he would have gone to prison with his family.

The prince is worthy of being the crown prince, he is always so far-sighted in doing things, Li Shanchang admires him from the heart.

This time, he had a good relationship with Hu Weiyong and was sent to prison.Li Shanchang is a fine person, and he understands this very well.

Seeing the prince in person is also a way for him to express his heart.

Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu put his feet into the wooden basin, slowly burned them, and sighed.

"What are you sighing for? You know how to sigh when you are good. Look at the water in the bottom of your trousers. What the hell is going on?" Queen Ma said fiercely, but she still helped him to hold up the bottom of his trousers to prevent them from slipping down.

"For us monkey children, we are willing to work hard and give them whatever we want. Why do we always have crooked thoughts?"

Empress Ma was stunned, and looked up at Emperor Zhu who was speaking: "What do you mean?"

Hu Weiyong confessed that he was instigated by a certain prince. As for who, it is not clear, but Lao Zhu knew it well.

"We don't mean anything, mainly we want to hear what Biaoer means." Lao Zhu took his foot out of the wooden basin and said, "Sister, we will always be most satisfied with Biaoer. This matter cannot be done at any time." Change, whoever dares to change, we will chop them up personally."

Empress Ma understood that what happened to Hu Weiyong this time had really hit him hard, so she let her man talk there.

"Biaoer's progress is much faster than we imagined. In a few years, he will be able to take the lead alone."

"I know, listening to you talking there every day, my ears are almost callused."

The thing that Emperor Zhu was most proud of was that he had many sons, but what he cared most about was who would take his seat. The inheritance of the eldest son was something he believed in all his life.

He thought about who the prince Hu Weiyong mentioned was in his mind, and Zhu Xi had thought about it, but he felt that Zhu Xi was straightforward and didn't have such meticulous thoughts.

The fourth child is a man who can be made, but this time he personally caught the person who bombed the ship, which is enough to show that it was not him.

As for the third child, besides Zhu Biao, I like him the most, and I also like him to seal him to Shanxi, but this kid looks the most well-behaved on weekdays, but he has a lot of thoughts.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sleep all night after Hu Weiyong was imprisoned.

The next step is to thoroughly investigate and eliminate the Hu party. Zhu Biao was surprised by Lao Zhu's methods.

But there was one thing that the father and son did not mention in a tacit understanding. In the end, Emperor Zhu couldn't bear it anymore and called Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, Zhu Di, Zhu Xi and Zhu Gui over.

"Biao'er, have you read Hu Weiyong's confession?" Emperor Zhu asked.

"Well, I've read it." Zhu Biao lowered his head and put the memorial away: "I've read it."

"Then... what do you think about Hu Weiyong?"

What does Lao Zhu want to ask, what do you think of the person Hu Weiyong confessed?
As a father, the palms and backs of the hands will always be fleshy, Lao Zhu asked himself, obviously he is also very embarrassed.

In front of all my younger brothers today, I have to say some things in a different way.

Some people have thought about it, they can't cut them down, it will make the brothers split, and use other methods to check and balance.Zhu Biao said: "Father, Hu Weiyong's confession, I think, firstly, there is no evidence. Second, whether Hu Weiyong has slandered or not, I can't prove the truth, I still believe my brothers."

"Did you hear that?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son: "This time the Hu party stole the mines and the Dragon King Cannon and killed innocent people. This is treason." Zhu Yuanzhang's face was not good.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Chen and then at Zhu Fan, but he didn't understand.

Zhu Xi was also puzzled, who dared to collude with Hu Weiyong to rebel, it must be Zhu Wei.

Zhu Yan knew that he was the person in Hu Weiyong's confession, so he didn't say anything.

This matter passed without Zhu Biao's refusal to pursue it.

In fact, Lao Zhu has already investigated who it is.

Zhu Biao also knew.

They all tacitly did not pursue it.

It's just that Lao Zhu is slowly deploying, intentionally or unintentionally, including the navy and army academies, as well as candidates for military training from various places.

In September, Zhu Wei got married.Zhu Biao personally gave him a gift and rewarded Xie's family.

In late autumn, all of Hu Weiyong's crimes were published in Daming Weekly.

Including the five women thrown by Hu Dapeng in the dry well, the housekeeper of the Hu family occupied the land.

Headed by Hu Weiyong, Tu Jie, and more than 1000 people were beheaded.

The ministers of the DPRK and China immediately refrained a lot, and they rushed to hand over the matter of preferential immunity.

It means that they will pay grain and tax together with the people without distinction.

The generals who invaded the land in Huguang were beheaded at Meridian Gate, and this matter was publicized in the Ming Weekly.The common people trust the imperial court even more.

At the beginning of October, Zhu Biao planned to arrange several younger brothers to go to the place where the army was trained.

Zhu Xi followed Feng Sheng.

Zhu Biao was arranged by Zhu Biao to Xu Da.

Zhu Di followed Deng Yu and trained troops in various places.

With the unification of Ryukyu, Ming’s firearms have gradually emerged, and then Zhu Biao asked the Maritime Affairs Bureau to draw up the "Ryukyu Treaty". Zhongshan King Zhu Shang became the only ruler of Ryukyu, but he will always be a courtier of Ming, and pay tribute to meet regularly for Ming. China's maritime trade has contributed a lot.

"Your Highness, has this matter been decided?"

"Well, arrange the third child to go to Yue Zhang's side."

　Thank you all for your support.
