A knife in love

Chapter 2893
Li Qiufeng listened to Murong Danyan tell Shen Wansan's story, he spoke old-fashioned, completely different from her usual way of speaking, and thought to himself, Miss Murong just said that she heard this story from her mother.Presumably at this time, she was imitating Mrs. Murong's tone of speech, which was completely different from her usual lively temperament.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Murong Danyan continue to say: "After Shen Wansan knew that the Emperor Taizu was worried about raising money to reward the soldiers, he immediately found a military official who was familiar with him, and asked that famous official to represent Chen Zou. , claiming that he was willing to spend 500 million taels of silver to reward the soldiers who had returned after a great victory. The military officer was overjoyed when he heard the words, thinking that Shen Wansan's move would solve the worries of Emperor Taizu and would win the emperor's favor. Playing it is naturally a great achievement. Taizu Emperor Longyan Dayue may have promoted himself to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Therefore, after hearing Shen Wansan's request, he immediately agreed, wrote the memorial on the same day, and handed it in personally. Ouchi.

"Shen Wansan and the military official thought that the Emperor Taizu would issue a reward immediately after seeing the memorial, but they didn't expect that the imperial edict of the Emperor Taizu did come, but the eunuch who came with the imperial edict was not the eunuch who rewarded the two of them. It's Jin Yiwei who looks like a vicious god..."

When Li Qiufeng heard Murong Danyan say this, he thought to himself that Jinyiwei was established in the 15th year of Hongwu, and the story told by Miss Murong happened at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When General Xu Da won the Northern Expedition, he left Hongwu 15 years and at least ten more years.It can be seen that this matter is nothing more than a market legend, and it cannot be taken as true.

It's just that even though Li Qiufeng thought this way, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he still listened carefully to Murong Danyan's words.I only heard Murong Danyan say: "Shen Wansan and the military officer did not expect that the emperor would send someone to arrest him. They were scared out of their wits and were captured by Jin Yiwei in the palace in a daze. Emperor Taizu saw Jin Yiwei general Shen Wansan and the military officer When the official caught him, he immediately brought the two of them in front of him, and said to Shen Wansan fiercely, "You are just a treacherous businessman, and you dare to reward the three armies on behalf of the emperor. Do you want to rebel?"
"Shen Wansan heard what Emperor Taizu said, and only then did he realize that he flattered the horse's foot, turned against the dragon's scales, and caused a catastrophe. In horror, he had to kowtow desperately, yelling injustice, claiming that he was grateful to the officers and soldiers for driving away After leaving the Tartars, I heard that the Ming Dynasty was just established and the court was short of money. The emperor was worried about this, so he wanted to donate silver to relieve the worries of the emperor. He had absolutely no intention of treason.

"Shen Wansan originally thought that the Emperor Taizu would know that he was too wronged and would not embarrass himself any more when he spoke like this. Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, the Emperor Taizu's face turned red, and a face was deformed and distorted, obviously because of his anger. Extreme. Seeing this situation, Shen Wansan knew that he had said the wrong thing again. He was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a word. He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately. Emperor Taizu pointed at Shen Wansan and cursed, you traitor It's just a commoner with no official position. If he dares to make friends with ministers and inquire about the news of the court, he must want to do something wrong and he will be punished.

"Shen Wansan didn't expect that his defense would attract such a scolding from the Emperor Taizu, and he almost fainted from fright. The Emperor Taizu pressed Shen Wansan where he heard the news of the lack of gold and silver in the court. Shen Wansan knew that if he would tell the official If the confession is made, there will definitely be a big prison, and I don’t know how many people’s families will be ruined because of this. After thinking about it, Shen Wansan only said that he was wandering in the city one day, and overheard a few passers-by chatting, saying that the imperial court did not have money to reward the soldiers, and the emperor was worried about this No end. I don't doubt him, so I have the heart to donate money. It's just that I met those passers-by for the first time, and I don't know their surnames, let alone where they live.

"Shen Wansan made up these lies out of desperation. Don't say that Emperor Taizu didn't believe it, I'm afraid even he himself didn't believe it. Therefore, after Shen Wansan finished speaking, Emperor Taizu became even more angry and roared at Shen Wansan. , Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and General Lan Yu can all be killed, how could they not kill a profiteer like you?!"

When Li Qiufeng heard Murong Danyan say this, he almost laughed out loud, thinking that Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu were indeed killed by Emperor Taizu, but they died in the 23rd year of Hongwu, the 13th year of Hongwu, and the 26th year of Hongwu. It was far from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu would never speak like this.Miss Murong heard from hearsay that this story is definitely not true.

Although Li Qiufeng was amused in his heart, there was no abnormal expression on his face.Murong Danyan went on to say: "Shen Wansan was terrified when he heard the threat from the Emperor Taizu, but he knew that once he confessed, there would be a bloody storm immediately. Moreover, the punishment of the Emperor Taizu was severe, even if he would spread the word If that person confessed, I am afraid that Emperor Taizu would not spare him. I heard that when Li Shanchang was killed, it was because Emperor Taizu captured one of his confidantes and forced that person to frame Li Shanchang. That person Unable to withstand the torture of Jin Yiwei, he finally made up lies about Li Shanchang's rebellion. After the Emperor Taizu got this person's confession, he not only beheaded Li Shanchang, but also killed the person who made the confession..."

The more Li Qiufeng listened, the more disdainful he became. He thought to himself that Li Shanchang was killed by Emperor Taizu not because he was betrayed by his henchmen, but because his younger brother Li Cunyi was involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion.Moreover, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang was the head of all officials, with great power. For a while, many ministers only knew Li Shanchang, but not the Ming Taizu.Emperor Taizu was very jealous of Li Shanchang, so he was charged with crimes and exterminated.However, one person was indeed convicted because he was accused, and that person was Hu Weiyong, who was the prime minister of Zhongshu Province.After Hu Weiyong became prime minister, he was domineering and domineering. He gathered his followers in the court and tried to plot rebellion.There was a minister named Tu Jie who took refuge in Hu Weiyong and advised him with great power.Later, Hu Weiyong appointed one of his confidantes as the mastermind, and gradually alienated Tu Jie.Tu Jie was not angry, thinking to himself that he was devoting himself to Hu Weiyong, making suggestions and suggestions, but he never expected to end up in such a way.If Hu Weiyong succeeds in the uprising and kills Emperor Taizu, with Hu Weiyong's harsh temper, he will definitely not let himself go.If Hu Weiyong fails, he must be regarded as Hu Weiyong's accomplice and must be wiped out by Emperor Taizu.Therefore, no matter whether Hu Weiyong succeeded in rebelling against him, he could not escape death.Thinking of this, Tu Jie was terrified, and finally made up his mind to report Hu Weiyong's intention to rebel to Emperor Taizu.He was very shrewd in his calculations, thinking that Emperor Taizu was cruel and merciless, knowing that Hu Weiyong wanted to rebel, he would kill Hu Weiyong immediately.As long as Hu Weiyong died, he would be fine.Even if Hu Weiyong said his name when he was dying, as long as he refused to admit it, and only said that Hu Weiyong deliberately framed him, he would not be in danger of his life.Tu Jie made up his mind, and immediately published a secret report to expose Hu Weiyong's rebellion.It's just that Tu Jie never expected that after he reported Hu Weiyong to Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizu did destroy Hu Weiyong's clan.However, someone reported to Emperor Taizu that Tu Jie was part of Hu Weiyong's party, and he was only worried that he would be convicted after Hu Weiyong's defeat, so he reported Hu Weiyong's conspiracy to the court.Tu Jie originally thought that even if someone denounced him, Emperor Taizu would definitely interrogate him.At that time, I can explain the matter clearly, and there will be no fear of my life.It's just that after Emperor Taizu learned about this, he didn't give Tu Jie a chance to defend himself, and immediately pushed Tu Jie out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded him.Miss Murong told the story so absurdly and unbelievably.
