Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 64
Zhu Qi also knew that the eldest brother entrusted this difficult matter to someone trustworthy, that is, himself.

Who asked me to ransack Pingyanghou's house and behead him when he was in Fengyang?Although this incident was not mentioned on the surface, it shocked the government and the public in private. Everyone knew that His Highness King Liao was a ruthless person who would not bend the law for personal gain.

Who is Pingyang Hou?There is also an iron certificate for avoiding death, and he is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son. He is still the elder brother of His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

Of course, the crime was conspiracy and rebellion, and the dragon robe was found at home with a mountain of iron evidence, and the iron certificate to avoid death cannot avoid the serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion.

As for whether Pingyang Hou really conspired to rebel or not, that’s hard to say. On the bright side, no one will discuss it with him anyway. People are already dead and can’t die anymore, and it’s impossible for someone to jump out and complain. I'm afraid it's not because the old birthday star hanged himself for a long time?
Although Zhu Biao's request was reasonable, Zhu Qi still decided to struggle and said:

"Brother, although I'm definitely far away, I won't be able to return for at least ten days and half a month. I haven't been back to the palace for half a month before, and now I won't go back for more than ten days. Father asked stand up……"

Zhu Biao immediately waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, father and emperor will help you with it for me. Hey, I have no other choice. If I have solid evidence for my brother, I will definitely arrange to arrest people at this time, and I won't trouble you, third brother, to make a trip. Father, for the sake of the old Zhu family, third brother, you should work hard."

Zhu Biao's words are all about this, if he refuses again, he won't be like a brother, Zhu Qi can only say, "This is what I should do as the Prince of Ming Dynasty."

Then Zhu Qi asked about Zhu Huan's specific situation.

Speaking of Zhu Huan, Zhu Qi had no impression and did not blame him, because this person really had no sense of existence, and it was not due to merit that he was able to be the county magistrate in Dingyuan, it was purely his father Zhu Liujiu!

Speaking of Zhu Liujiu, Zhu Qi suddenly remembered that Zhu Liujiu was a distant cousin who was far away from Zhu Yuanzhang, because when Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he had a life-saving kindness, so Zhu Yuanzhang always It's called his sixth brother. Although he was not crowned king, he was treated like a prince. His son, Zhu Huan, took the position of magistrate of Dingyuan County by virtue of this relationship.

Zhu Qina never expected that Zhu Huan was Zhu Liujiu's son. No wonder Prince Zhu Biao felt so troublesome. If this matter is not investigated clearly and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, then this year will indeed be an uneasy life .

In fact, Zhu Qi knows that Zhu Biao has another meaning, which is to protect the whistleblower. If it is found that Zhu Huan is not guilty, with the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Liujiu, the whistleblower will most likely be killed. It is considered to be framing, ordinary people are fine, Zhu Yuanzhang will not pursue responsibility, but if it is a court official, impeaching the emperor's relatives like this may affect his future career.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qi thought that Zhu Biao didn't intend to talk about it, and didn't ask, but he didn't expect that after Zhu Biao introduced Zhu Huan, he began to talk about the whole story in detail.

It turned out to be a supervisory censor named Zheng Shiyuan who impeached and reported Zhu Huan, but because Zhu Biao could now see all kinds of official documents and government affairs in advance, he called Zheng Shiyuan to ask if there was any evidence of guilt. It can't be stopped, there are already many discussions among the people in Dingyuan, although Zheng Shiyuan's words are convincing, but Zhu Biao and Zheng Shiyuan are not familiar with each other, they only know that he was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu, and he didn't have any special achievements or experience during that period. Seeing that he is young, I am afraid that he reported it for the sake of gaining fame, so I decided to investigate secretly first.

But Zhu Qi was not calm when he heard it, Zheng Shiyuan!This is an honest and upright official who was well-known among the people during the Hongwu period!After his wife died, because the family had no money to bury him, the five sons begged to sell themselves to bury their mother, and finally asked colleagues to borrow money for the funeral.

When he himself died, the people joined the funeral procession, and he was a good official who really won the hearts of the people.

But later, when the Kongyin case was involved, his official career was greatly affected, and his official position was always small, so his reputation in history was not as loud as that of Bao Zheng and Hai Rui.

However, Zheng Shiyuan in the seventh year of Hongwu is obviously not well-known, but his temper is still as straightforward as in history. He impeached the emperor's relatives because of the public's discussion. This courage is indeed a little too big.

After Zhu Biao finished talking about the whole story, Zhu Qi had another reason to go to Dingyuan. Although he himself wanted to fish, he still respected those famous officials in history. An honest and good official like Zheng Shiyuan, Especially so, taking this trip by yourself can be regarded as helping Zheng Shiyuan.

Naturally, this matter has to be kept secret, and this time, Zhu Di cannot be brought with him, and he ran away alone. The prince Zhu Biao is okay to say, but Zhu Di went to Dingyuan with him, so it is difficult to explain.

Zhu Qi could only go on the road alone.

As for the reason for leaving Ying Tianfu, Zhu Biao helped Zhu Qi think it over, and said that there were a few skilled craftsmen, and Zhu Qi'ai was eager, so with Zhu Biao's permission, he went to visit.

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Liao hired a lot of craftsmen, and he likes to tinker with these weird things. Such a reason is reasonable.

Although Zhu Qi fished, he was still very mobile. He packed up his things the next day and brought No. 30 guards. He pretended to be the son of a powerful family, and the guards were dressed as servants, so he packed up. After finishing the luggage, he left the imperial city under Zhu Di's reluctant eyes.

I have to say that with the support of the prince Zhu Biao, it is really convenient to do anything. As a vassal king, I can get permission to leave Yingtian Mansion. One can imagine how much power Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao .

I'm afraid it's the only dragon chair that hasn't been given yet?

Zhu Qi originally thought that he was leaving quietly this time, but he didn't expect to see Xu Zengshou bringing his servants to see him off as soon as he left the imperial city.

Zhu Qi was also very surprised. After all, his reasons for going out were ordinary, and there was really no reason to see him off. However, he did not expect Xu Zengshou to look bitter when he saw him, and said:
"Your Highness, you are leaving Yingtian Mansion on this trip. I have brought some maids and servants along with you, so that they can take care of His Highness's food and daily life on the way."

After Xu Zengshou finished speaking bitterly, Zhu Qi looked puzzled. He was bringing guards with him, so why worry?But seeing the beauty walking out from behind Xu Zengshou, Zhu Qina suddenly realized.

Good guy, isn't this Xu Miaoyun dressed up by a maid?
Seeing Xu Miaoyun blinking at him, Zhu Qina pulled him to his side without saying a word, coughed twice and said:

"It doesn't need to be too much, a servant girl is enough. I thank your virtuous brother for your kindness!"

Xu Zengshou's face became even more bitter, and he leaned forward and whispered:
"My father hasn't come back yet, and my mother has gone back to her mother's house to visit her relatives. I really can't hold back my sister, and I'm desperately trying to find His Highness. Your Highness, please don't let my father know about this, otherwise My life is in danger."

Seeing Xu Zengshou's target, Zhu Qi laughed.

So that's what happened, so is my King Liao this kind of person?
Immediately said:

"Ah? Where is your sister? It's clearly the maid of your house."

After all, Xu Miaoyun beside her also blushed, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

The pride in Zhu Qi's heart, this "pretty maid" has finally come under the tent of King Liao!
