The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 272 Duke Liang is crazy!

"How could this be so? Why did the general make such a fuss? Didn't the general say it was nothing serious? When he left yesterday, he told me to go to His Royal Highness the eldest grandson."

"I didn't hear any rumors, how did I get today, and it became like this."

The military officer who went to Zhan Hui's mansion with Lan Yu to make trouble earlier whispered to the people next to him in panic.

His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

Duke Liang's behavior scared his soul away.

Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, can be said to be the most popular general in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After the Battle of Yuerhai, Weiming was in full swing, becoming the most dazzling figure in the entire Huaixi military generals Xungui Group.

Even the Bohou in front was willing to listen to him, not to mention that Lan Yu inherited King Kaiping's command, and most of them were elite soldiers and fierce generals.

Even in front of His Majesty, there is no fear at all.

This kind of person, just because he beat up a minister of the official department, took the blame.

Such a scene is simply unbelievable.

A calm military officer said: "Yesterday the general was extremely confident before going to His Royal Highness Changsun, and he didn't say that there is no problem with him."

"All of this happened at the place of His Royal Highness Changsun. I don't need to panic for the time being. Maybe this is the arrangement of His Highness Changsun."

"Look carefully, the general's face is relatively calm, without too much anger or other feelings, but it gives me a sense of confidence."

Hearing the military officer's analysis, the surrounding military officers took a closer look.

Sure enough, there was really no sense of decadence on the face of General Sapphire.

On the contrary, I feel very energetic, as if the thorns behind me are just like that.

Although the civil servants didn't know what Liangguo Gong Lanyu had committed, it didn't affect their gloating.

The confrontation between civil and military officials is still very obvious in the court. Isn't it a happy thing to see Liang Guogong, who is the head of military officials, deflated.

However, there is also a vacancy in the front row of civil servants.

"Why didn't Zhan Shangshu come to the morning court today?"

"It is estimated that His Majesty has something else to say."

"It should be so."

After a short exchange, no one paid attention to Zhan Hui.

After all, the Shangshu in the court has a very close relationship with His Majesty, and it is common for him to make private arrangements that prevent him from going to the early court.

Among them, the one who likes to be absent from the morning court the most is Shen Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. A few days ago, he did not go to the morning court for several consecutive days. Obviously, he went to do something that His Majesty explained separately.

Soon, the Fengtian Gate opened.

Sapphire carried the thorns on her back like this, and walked in the direction of Fengtian Temple as usual.

This kind of behavior really attracted the attention of most people.

The officials and guards were a little confused.

However, under the circumstances of the early dynasty, especially Duke Liang, they had nothing to say and could only follow the previous procedures.

After the Fengtian Gate was opened, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying were already in the Jinluan Hall.

After some procedures, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Mr. Liang, what are you doing? You are still carrying thorns. You are trying to make fun of us."

Apparently, Zhu Yuanzhang had noticed Lan Yu the moment he entered the palace.

Before speaking, he took a deep look at Dasun.

Good guy, such an arrogant and domineering person was subdued by the grandson?

You must know that Lan Yu has a very bad temper, and even dares to contradict himself after drinking a sip of wine.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect such behavior.

After hearing this, Lan Yu knelt down on the ground after leaving the class to salute, and said loudly, "I'm guilty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Which of the laws of our Ming Dynasty has the Duke of Liang violated? It is necessary to mobilize the people like this."

Lan Yu raised her head slightly, looked at His Highness the eldest grandson who was standing beside His Majesty, took a deep breath, and said, "I ate too much wine yesterday, impulsively, and committed a catastrophe."

"Because I was very dissatisfied with Zhan Shangshu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, when I was aroused by the alcohol, I got on my head."

"Then they rushed to Zhan Shangshu's mansion, there was a little conflict, and on impulse, Zhan Shangshu was beaten."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked and said angrily: "What! You actually beat Zhan Shangshu, you know, he is an official of the second rank of our Ming Dynasty, how dare you do that!"

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly from the dragon chair, and was almost roaring at the back.

The corner of Zhu Ying's eyes swept over.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what an old man, as expected, the founding emperor, there is no one simple, if Zhu Ying hadn't known about this performance, and the old man called to tell him.

Otherwise, he really thought that the old man just found out about it.

And as soon as this conversation came out, the entire Fengtian Hall suddenly became lively like a vegetable market.

Especially on the side of the civil servants, the discussion is simply agitated.

In a sense, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the dynasty was almost equivalent to the head of civil servants, but he was actually beaten by a general.

Even if the one who hit someone was Liang Guogong Lan Yu, it was unacceptable.

Fighting a literati by a warrior is something that all literati are extremely taboo about.

This is probably because, since the Song Dynasty, most of the current literati are scholars without the strength to restrain a chicken, not as good at both civil and military as before.

Therefore, he became more and more afraid of generals, especially those with strong personal force.

The black gauze hat on their heads is their greatest reliance.

However, this reliance was broken by Sapphire today, is that okay?
Today Lan Yu can beat the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, tomorrow there will be other generals of the same level as her who dare to beat her.

After this, what should happen.

The literati suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other. Ninety percent of the civil servants became extremely angry.

At this time, among the civil servants, there were coughs one after another.

This is not because of the infection of the wind.

It's just the tacit understanding of the officials in the court. The meaning of coughing is to remind my colleagues that I am going to play, so as to avoid the situation where many people come out to play at the same time.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

All of a sudden, none of the excited civil servants wanted to give up, coughed violently, and strongly expressed their desire to play.

If the grade is not enough, naturally I dare not cough.

The grades are similar, especially the servants of the sixth department, who cough endlessly at each other.

Everyone's grades are about the same, so why should you go first.

Especially the impeachment of Liang Guogong Lan Yu, which is a big show, naturally wants to be the first.

"You guys, it's really endless, right? Let's bear with it. You don't need to say much about today's matter. Let us inquire in person."

Seeing the scene below, Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded directly.

Seeing His Majesty getting angry, the officials naturally stopped and did not dare to make any more noise.

After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lan Yu: "Mr. Liang, we see that you are holding the Daming Law in your left hand, and you are pleading guilty. You must be aware of your sins."

"We just want to ask you, what is your plan?"

In fact, as far as the law of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, this kind of behavior of beating others is only a few dozen court sticks, and the average person's twenty court sticks basically kills half of his life.

However, for people like Lan Yu, the Jin Yiwei who did his hands would generally hold back his hands to a large extent and lose the formality.

The biggest influence among them is not the punishment in the Great Ming Law, but the overall influence of generals and civil officials.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang executed a few corrupt officials to add to the fun, he didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. He was always concerned about his name. Even if it was the Hongwu Four Cases, at least there was absolutely no problem in the process.

So even though officials are extremely afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, they still act in accordance with the law, not moody murder.

Zhu Yuanzhang's influence on literati should also be considered.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu first kowtowed, and then respectfully said: "I know my crime, and today I am pleading guilty, and I want to express my sincerity to Your Majesty and Zhan Shangshu."

After finishing speaking, he held up the land deed in his right hand and continued: "This is all the land under my name, and I am willing to dedicate it all to the court. At the same time, I feel that I am unable to take up the post of the left governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion."

"I also ask Your Majesty to decree that I be resigned from the post of Governor-General of the Left."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but all the civil and military officials in the entire imperial court became turbulent.

"Crazy!"

This is the first subconscious reaction in everyone's mind.

This Liang Guogong, could it be that he went crazy over drinking, not only gave up his official position, but also handed over all the fields under his name.

Such behavior is really insane.

Many ministers couldn't help but wipe their ears, wondering if they didn't sleep well last night, so maybe they had auditory hallucinations just now.

However, the sharp-eyed officials had already seen that what Sapphire held in her hand was the title deed.

This is real.

Now in the court, no matter whether they are civil servants or military officials, their minds are no longer on Zhan Shangshu's beating, but are all focused on the land deed in Lan Yu's hands.

What is the purpose of being an officer?
If someone now asks those students who have been in poverty for ten years, then he will tell you with certainty that it is for becoming an official.

What is the purpose of being an official?
What to show your ambitions, for the country, for the people, for the country and the community, etc., are just some top honored children.

For most students nowadays, being an official is for money and power.

Among them is particularly important, the field.

In the Ming Dynasty under the farming civilization, everyone's reliance on fertile land was innate.

And obtaining more fields without paying taxes is a privilege that only literati can have.

Scholars, Juren, Jinshi.

Even if you can't be an official, you still have great privileges.

Especially now that clansmen and villagers are the main ones, the fields are even more important.

No one can understand Sapphire's approach.

For now, everyone's attention has been attracted by the thick stack of land deeds.

According to a random visual inspection, it is estimated that there are at least a thousand acres of fertile land, or even more.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang knew about the grandson's arrangement a long time ago, he was still a little shocked at this time.

When the eldest grandson told him before, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was unlikely.

Now that it is so in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but not believe it.

Up and down the hall, it soon became silent.

Many officials had complex eyes, looking at the title deed in Lan Yu's hand, they suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

All this seems to be beyond their cognition.

Zhu Ying stood quietly on the Golden Luan Hall with a calm expression, as if what happened below had nothing to do with him.

However, in the depths of his eyes, there was still a hint of admiration for Sapphire.

It takes a lot of courage to give up the official position, or even hand over all the fields voluntarily.

For example, Sapphire has already stood at the pinnacle of military generals, with so many credits on his body, in general perception, even if the emperor wants to move him, he needs to have a very good reason.

For example, the case of Hu Weiyong is the crime of treason. Only such a crime can be suppressed against these founding heroes.

Civil servants like Hu Weiyong are a little bit better. Generals like Lan Yu have a very wide influence in the army, and they still have the legacy left by Zeng Yuchun.

In addition to the great contributions she has made, even if she forcibly denies it, Zhu Ying actually has nothing to do for the time being.

It is impossible to impose a heavy punishment just because he beat the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

Therefore, as far as the present is concerned, Zhu Ying truly agrees with Lan Yu and accepts this uncle in her heart.

Going forward is just a polite talk.

Sapphire's behavior now can be regarded as a true manifestation of his loyalty.

Just like before, to Prince Zhu Biao.

Sapphire, who was kneeling on the ground, actually spent most of the night thinking about it last night before making up her mind.

Sapphire was a smart man, there was no doubt about it.

He is very clear that in the future of Daming, His Highness the eldest grandson must be the master of the house, and now His Majesty has begun to change power in many aspects.

He could feel all these directly. His Majesty did not have any doubts about His Highness the eldest grandson, and he was more pampered than the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Money actually doesn't mean much to Sapphire.

Sapphire herself is a warrior with a bold personality, and it is also with such a personality that so many generals in the army are willing to follow.

And he is also very clear that His Highness the eldest grandson's trust in him is very low.

These are also things that cannot be helped. After all, it has only been a long time since he met His Highness the eldest grandson. He must find a way to express his loyalty.

He is the real Duke of Liang only if he closely follows His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. As for the official position of the left commander of the Chinese army, he has thousands of acres of fertile land in his hands.

How can it be more important than His Royal Highness's approval.

"Mr. Liang, let me ask you, have you really thought about it?"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Lan Yu held up the land deed in her hand, and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, I have already made up my mind."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's the case, let's grant your wish."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Ying said, "Grandpa, my grandson has some ideas."

"Oh, let's hear it." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some surprise.

Zhu Yingdao: "Duke Liang is at fault, but this kind of punishment, even though Duke Liang proposed it himself, is too serious."

"The land deed is the sincerity of the Duke of Liang, so I won't mention it for my grandson. But it is a pity for the Duke of Liang, who is now in his prime, to resign from his official position and return to the land."

"For Daming, it is also the loss of a general."

"Nowadays, the Department of Public Security is established, and most of them are held by veterans in the army. These veterans have fought for a lifetime, and most of them are rebellious and difficult to suppress."

"Nowadays, there has been no candidate for the governor of the Chief Public Security Department, so my grandson thinks that Duke Liang can be appointed."

"With Liang Guogong here, these veterans in the army must become much more honest and dare not act recklessly."
