First Minister of Ming Dynasty

The night was dark and the wind was blowing, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow the **** to close the doors and windows, and let the cold wind hit his face. His resolute face was filled with an indescribable anger.

For those civil servants, tyrannical powers, and Zhu Yuanzhang, he can attack at will, as long as the evidence is conclusive, he has nothing to care about.

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, a person from a mud-legged background is not a person from the same world as those Confucian scholars. They are greedy and pervert the law, and they just kill them.

But for those fellow villagers, Paoze, and the army general Zhu Yuanzhang's views were different.

The big guy grew up with his bare buttocks, not from a village, but also from a nearby villager.

How the day went, counted for each other.

Who is not a poor child, who is oppressed and looked down upon by others, and has to herd sheep for the landlord at a few years old, and has suffered a lot. With great difficulty, I had the opportunity to join the army and fight the country with my life.

After so many years, countless soldiers and soldiers have died in battle, and they can survive, seal their wives and sons, and rest with the country. What kind of blessing is this?

But why, these people don't know how to cherish?

Do you have to put your own grace on the ground with one foot?

Do you really think we dare not kill people?

You are wrong, in our Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no one who dare not kill!

After thinking about it, Old Zhu did not sleep for a whole night.

Turning around, Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered to invite Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong. The following people went, Lao Zhu got some cold water, washed it at will, cheered up, and sat down in the hall, waiting for these two the arrival of people.

Not long after, these two generals, who were named marquis, came together to greet Lao Zhu, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked someone to give them seats.

Then he smiled and said: "Lu Zhongheng, your son Lu Xian is doing well in martial arts. We heard from the second child that he is very smart and a rare good boy. We are both villagers and monarchs and ministers. Besides, we also have several daughters. We want to marry you!"

Lu Zhongheng was taken aback, including Tang Shengzong next to him.

The two usually have a very good relationship. Zhu Yuanzhang called them together and said that he was not afraid.

But now that they heard it, they were both happy.

Eighty percent of His Majesty wants to marry, and then let Tang Shengzong be a matchmaker.

Lu Zhongheng immediately bowed and said politely, "Sir, my boy, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the princess!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "What's not worthy of it? They are all from the same hometown, how can our daughters be honored!" Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a while when he said this, and then sighed: "When we returned to our hometown to recruit troops, you all followed us. Come here, for more than ten years, we monarchs and ministers have conquered Daming Jiangshan together! You all know how much effort you put into it and how many brothers died!"

The two were stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Lao Zhu continued: "From our hearts, we are naturally willing to watch Daming flourish with you, watch our descendants, support each other, and keep going."

Lu Zhongheng hurriedly said: "The grace of the superior is engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lu Zhongheng, and found that he was still full of joy, no doubt he was there, Zhu Yuanzhang simply looked at Tang Shengzong and whispered: "We heard that your family recently built an ancestral hall?"

Tang Shengzong was stunned for a moment, thinking that His Majesty already knows about this?

"If you go back to the upper position, yes, you have built the ancestral hall. The minister, the minister was rewarded by His Majesty, the ancestral tombs of the Tang family and the Tang family have all smoked blue smoke, and the ancestors of the eighteenth generation have followed, so the minister built the ancestral hall to show celebrate."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and suddenly said again: "That ancestral hall cost a lot of money, right?"

Tang Shengzong was a little stunned, but he didn't know how to answer this time!

Lu Zhongheng is also stupid. He has a very good relationship with Tang Shengzong, and plans to build an ancestral ancestral hall to show his face in front of his hometown. Therefore, Lu Zhongheng said: "Sir, I heard that I didn't spend too much money, let alone to raise money for my ancestors. face, as it should be."

Tang Shengzong also reacted at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Higher, the minister has spent less than 3,000 yuan to build the ancestral hall before and after, all of which are the minister's salary and the reward of the higher position, the minister will never be corrupt!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but remained silent. Time passed by. Tang Shengzong simply swore and swore, "I am in the position, this minister has received the emperor's favor, and I am so grateful.

Lu Zhongheng also said: "Up, the minister is willing to guarantee that what Tang Hou said is true!"

Zhu Yuanzhang finally sighed, "Get up!"

The two got up from the ground, but there was already sweat on their foreheads.

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "You, like us, all came from hardships, and you should know more about the hardships of the people. The money is the fat of the people and the life of the people. It was squeezed out of the bones of the living people! What we hate the most is Corrupt officials, especially those who come from poor backgrounds and in turn attack poor people, are even more worthy of despise! They should be killed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang almost said these words through gritted teeth. Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong looked at each other and felt uneasy in their hearts. They vaguely sensed that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to mean something, but they had a bit of luck.

"If I go back to the upper position, the same is true for the ministers, so I definitely don't dare to have the slightest bit of bribery, please let me know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and his heart was down. He said to the side: "Come here with the golden cup, we want to drink with them."

Soon three golden glasses were delivered, and Zhu Yuanzhang poured them a glass of wine with his own hands, and then filled himself with a glass, and then said: "We remember what you said just now. It has been more than ten years, and we must strive for a true one. Words! You tell the truth, we love to hear it, and we are willing to believe it.”

The hearts of the two moved again, but they still gritted their teeth and said: "If you go back to the upper position, the minister will not dare to deceive the sky!"

"Alright then, let's have a drink!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised the golden cup, drank the wine with the two of them, and waved them down.

Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang and walked out step by step. Their emotions were surging. Lu Zhongheng turned back several times and looked at the hall.

"Old Tang, what do you mean when you say that the superior is going to marry, say those words, and drink with us?" Lu Zhongheng said worriedly, "Why don't we tell the superior?" …”

"Shut up!" Tang Shengzong became anxious, "Old Lu, are you crazy? Can you tell me about that? You don't want to live anymore? Even if the superior wants to spare us, there are so many civil and military ministers in the dynasty, how could they let us go? ?"

Lu Zhongheng still pondered, "How about we go to Zhang Xiang's place and have a look?"

"No!" Tang Shengzong immediately shook his head, "Old Lu, courting death is not the way to go. Even if something really happens, with our credit, we can still lose our heads? You go now, not to mention that the title is gone, so will our children. They will be implicated. Also, our subordinates, they have suffered for so many years, they should enjoy it. Again, there are knives to kill courtiers, but no swords to cut us!"

Lu Zhongheng thought again and again, and had no choice but to fight with Tang Shengzong.

Almost at the same time, more and more news came into the hands of Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang... It was Miao Daheng's second son who helped Tang Shengzong build the ancestral hall. Quite stylish.

Tang Shengzong was naturally very useful. He helped the court and the Miao family to make great profits and be unscrupulous.

"Mr. Zhang, where do you think this eucalyptus can go? Is it Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng?" Zhu Yuanzhang considered, "Will it be more involved? Higher?"

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, higher than them, that is several great governors. They all lead their own troops, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing, and they will not be involved. But if it takes a long time, Let this kind of thing spread, and even become accustomed to it. Keeping oneself clean will become an alien, and in that case, it will be difficult for the minister to say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, "If that's the case, then Daming will be destroyed!"

Lao Zhu stood up resolutely, "No matter what, we have decided to investigate to the end, and Mr. must be prepared."

Zhang Ximeng can only nod, what preparation, don't you still wipe your **** for you?

Zhang Ximeng simply didn't say anything more, and Lao Zhu immediately arranged for the guards to intensify the investigation.

The Miao family, Tang Shengzong, Lu Zhongheng, and others who were very close to them also began to investigate the blood letter of the common people~www.readwn.com~, and also to verify it to see if it was true or false?

There are more and more actions on Lao Zhu's side, and more and more people are dispatched. Obviously, there is no way to go unnoticed like before.

Just after the people of Gongwei Division found out some things, they took two witnesses, took a boat, and returned to Yingtian. When the boat reached the heart of the river, it leaked.

The three guards' eucalyptus officers, plus two witnesses, all fell into the water.

The body was discovered by fishermen two days later, salvaged, reported to Guo Ying.

Just got the news, Guo Ying is stupid, so unscrupulous?

Dare to kill even the people in my arch guard division?

You are so reckless!

Also from Huaixi, Guo Ying treated these generals with courtesy and respect, but he never expected that someone would dare to kill someone from the Gongwei Division privately, which had seriously challenged his bottom line.

Therefore, Guo Ying hurriedly came to see Zhu Yuanzhang and told the story again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face quickly darkened, and a strong anger welled up from the bottom of his heart... It's not that he didn't give him a chance, but it's a pity that people don't appreciate it.

We give you the golden cup, but you treat us like this!

There is no other way, we can only show the white blade!

"Guo Ying, your chief guard has died, and now you are asked to choose elite soldiers, can you find out this case?"

"Yes!" Guo Ying replied immediately: "Commander Mao Xiang was originally in the army to inspect illegal activities and was in charge of military law. In the case of salt affairs, he was the one who ran the two thousand households. !"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, let's go!"

Guo Ying hurriedly went down, and then Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the sword on the wall and pulled it out, the cold light flashed, and the soul was captured...
