Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 27 This is His Royal Highness Liao's plan
In Fengyang County, before dawn, the news about the Marquis of Pingyang who forced his wife into prostitution, caused someone to commit suicide, was captured on the spot by His Royal Highness King Liao, and was thrown into a prison has already started to spread.

Some people clapped their hands and applauded, but more people still held a pessimistic attitude. First, in their view, this Marquis of Pingyang is the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness Liao. Cure the crime of the brother-in-law?
Not to mention, the Marquis of Pingyang still has an iron coupon to avoid death!
This death-free iron certificate was rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang to meritorious ministers. Later emperors would also try to issue death-free iron certificates, which can be said to be a major feature of the Ming Dynasty.

Although those ministers who received the death-free coupons issued by Zhu Yuanzhang were all killed by Zhu Yuanzhang later, but these people committed suicide by the emperor himself. Otherwise, it is contempt for imperial power.

But now that Marquis Pingyang has been imprisoned, it is naturally impossible to just let him go. The first thing to do is to collect the evidence of Marquis Pingyang.

In such an early morning, notices were posted at the entrance of the government office and at the entrance and exit of Fengyang City, and the common people gathered around.

"His Royal Highness the Liao King has issued an order. From now on, the people who actively report the evidence of Pingyang Hou's crime will be rewarded as long as the evidence is valid!"

As soon as the common people heard it, the atmosphere immediately boiled over, but it was only about the atmosphere. On the side of the government yamen, they did not receive any news.

After this incident, Zhu Qi and Zhu Di naturally didn't have to go to the military camp for training, but seriously performed the inspection function assigned by Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for Xu Da, after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, he stopped asking too much and left the power to Zhu Qi and Zhu Di to deal with.

What Xu Da was thinking, Zhu Qi also knew very well, he was only the Duke of Wei, he had no right to administer Fengyang Mansion, inspect and question crimes, if he intervened in the case of Marquis Pingyang, he would be acting on his behalf.

Xu Da is a very cautious and low-key person, don't look careless in front of Zhu Qi and Zhu Di, but as long as it involves court affairs, Xu Da is often like a transparent person, only those who need him to lead troops to fight Only when this Ming Dynasty God of War can be reactivated.

Zhu Di originally thought that he could follow his third brother Zhu Qi and become a young Bao Qingtian, but he didn't expect that from morning to night, except for the old man last night, no one went to the government office to report on Pingyang Hou's.

In fact, the common people dare not come to denounce Pingyanghou's crimes, the main reason is because of the death-free coupon in Pingyanghou's hands, the common people feel that it is useless even if they report, Pingyanghou can't die, and he will have to retaliate wildly when he comes back yourself?Naturally, no one dared to report Pingyang Hou's crimes.

After waiting until the evening, Zhu Di couldn't sit still anymore, and said to Zhu Qi:

"Third brother, what should we do? There is no other crime, only one thing, he has the iron certificate to avoid death, so he really can't be cured."

Zhu Qi said calmly:
"What's the rush? If you don't have it today, wait until tomorrow. The common people must have some time to recover, right? If it doesn't work, your third brother and I have other ways. I will definitely not let this Marquis of Pingyang run away."

Once Zhu Di heard Zhu Qi say this, he felt relieved.

The two brothers sat until the first watch, when it was getting dark outside, they left the official mansion and went back to the palace to rest for a while, while Zhu Qi also took his time and gave new instructions to his subordinates.

So in the early morning of the next day, the personnel arranged by Zhu Qi went to the gate of the official mansion and the entrance of the city gate again, and Zhang made a new notice.

The announcement this time was not to urge the people to expose Pingyang Hou, but instead listed the number of people who reported Pingyang Hou yesterday. It was written in black and white: The total number of people exposed was 115!
Good guy, the people are dumbfounded all of a sudden, there are really people who dare to expose and report, and there are so many 115 people? !
Many ordinary people have this idea in their hearts, but those who really dare to take action are still a little short.

But what the common people didn't expect was that such a notice would be issued every day for the next four consecutive days, and hundreds of people came to report every day!
Good guy, the bad thing about Pingyanghou is pus, right?Do so many bad things?

Then, let's report it too?What if Pingyang Hou is really pulled down?
At this time, Xu Da, who was in the military camp of Fengyang Mansion, also received the information delivered by his subordinates. Xu Da just didn't intervene in the case of Pingyanghou, but he didn't ask, but it didn't mean that he had both ears. It's blocked.

This time he brought Zhu Qi and Zhu Di to Fengyang Mansion, and Zhu Yuanzhang specifically entrusted Xu Da to report everything in detail, and he had to report it when he went back. Apart from military affairs, government affairs management is also very important to the prince. An excellent opportunity to observe the two princes.

So when he saw that Zhu Qi had posted false notices for several days, Xu Da was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and said to himself:
"This kid, on weekdays, he said that he can only memorize the art of war, but he can't use it. Isn't it good to use your bluff?"

Xu Da put the information aside, and then began to write a note to deliver to Yingtian Mansion...

On the other side, Zhu Qi and Zhu Di waited in the government for another whole day, but still no one came to report and expose Pingyang Hou, but there were many people passing by the door hesitantly, and Zhu Di could not wait to go and pull them to ask Fortunately, at ten o'clock in the evening, an old lady walked into the government mansion with a hunched body, and said that she wanted to report the evil deeds of Marquis Pingyang for indulging his slaves and forcibly occupying other people's land!
Good guy, after waiting for several days, it can be regarded as someone has come to report, Zhu Di was so excited.

In front of the common people, Zhu Qi invited the old lady into the official residence, asked and recorded the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and arranged for someone to visit on the spot.

Let's not talk about the magnitude of the crime, but at least the process is extremely solemn, with only one purpose, and that is to announce to the people:
I, Liao King Zhu Qi, am serious!
Now it can be regarded as taking the lead, and a group of common people began to report one after another in the hall.

Not to mention serious crimes such as seizing fields, occupying civilian women, beating civilians, and lending usury, such as urinating on the road, insulting others, reaching out for things without giving money, paying adults on credit in hotels, etc., big and small crimes, that is I can't even remember!
Just looking at the criminal evidence, he died several times in Pingyang Hou!You can only die once with the iron certificate for avoiding death. With so many criminal evidences, you must die!

The common people also think so, but some scholars who have read "Da Ming Law" shook their heads and said:
"You guys don't even look at the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who commits two or more crimes will be punished, and the most serious one will be dealt with!"

what does it mean?That is to say, if you have committed many crimes, Daming will not punish you for several crimes, but will only punish you with the most serious crime!
The common people panicked when they heard it, so I reported it just now, wouldn't I be retaliated against?

However, it didn't take long for the common people to panic when new news spread from the government.

His Royal Highness the King of Liao said, at noon tomorrow, go to Pingyanghou's Mansion and search the house!
