Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 67 I'm the one who caused the trouble (please vote!)
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a silk dress, holding the tax notice torn from the notice board in his hand.

There are two people standing beside them, both are relatively young, about 30 to [-] years old, but they don't look like martial arts practitioners, but they are gentle and gentle.

Another man was following behind him, and he looked like a martial arts practitioner.

Zhu Qi opened his mouth wide in a daze, but couldn't utter a word. Logically, shouldn't Zhu Yuanzhang be in Yingtian Mansion at this time?How could it appear in Dingyuan County, and just like myself, ran over to check the tax collection announcement?
Xu Miaoyun knew Zhu Yuanzhang, so she was taken aback at this time, she was standing next to Zhu Qi with a cute face, but this time she quickly retreated to the back, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to recognize Xu Miaoyun, probably because she didn't before seen.

Before Zhu Qi could react, Zhu Yuanzhang put away the official document, waved at Zhu Qi, and said:
"It's not convenient here, come and talk."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he walked towards the other side of the street with his hands behind his back, and the two gentle men hurriedly followed, but the officials not far away saw Zhu Yuanzhang tore up the announcement, and hurried over with a big drink:
"Where did the troublemakers come from, how dare they tear up..."

But before the official had finished speaking, Zhu Qi saw the man behind Zhu Yuanzhang rushing forward and slapped the official on the face, and the official was hit on the bulletin board. Passed out.

At this time, three more officials rushed out from the gate of the official mansion, and the man went straight to meet them.

Zhu Qi didn't watch it any more, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang's pace with anxiety...

------

Zhu Qi thought about it for a while on the road. Zhu Yuanzhang must have known about someone reporting Zhu Huan, that's why he came to Dingyuan County. He thought that the prince Zhu Biao had made a good arrangement, but it seemed that he could not hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang. .

Zhu Yuanzhang went all the way to a sedan chair parked in an alley, and an internal officer was waiting to raise the curtain. Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his clothes and walked up, while pointing at Zhu Qiqi.

Zhu Qi hurriedly followed, the inner officer lowered the curtain, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Qi were the only ones in the carriage.

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked:

"Finally, did the boss ask you to investigate Zhu Huan?"

Zhu Qi originally thought up his speech on the road, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang already knew it. Of course he couldn't betray his elder brother Zhu Biao at this time. How to mix it?

Looking at the expressionless Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, Zhu Qi gritted his steel teeth and showed almost all his brotherly loyalty in his life, saying:
"Yes, elder brother asked me to come, I didn't expect you to come, father."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:

"This Zhu Huan is my nephew and your cousin. I also know that the boss wants to investigate clearly, but since I know about it, how can I sit in Yingtian Mansion and wait with peace of mind. "

After he finished speaking, he picked up the announcement in his hand, his tone gradually became tougher, and said:
"I didn't believe it at first, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, it seems that Zhu Huan is really doing evil in Dingyuan County."

It is already a serious crime just to collect taxes indiscriminately. During the Hongwu period, officials who embezzled more than 60 taels would be sentenced to death.

The original thirty tax one was changed to thirty tax three. Zhu Huan had been a county magistrate in Dingyuan for many years, and the amount of corruption may have exceeded 60 taels long ago.

In fact, Zhu Qi was also a little puzzled. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, if someone else dared to embezzle like this, he would have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang long ago. Zhu Yuanzhang has not moved so far. Could it be that he really saved Zhu Huan? Thoughts?

Just when Zhu Qicai was thinking this way, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang order:

"Let's go to the Zhu Mansion."

The carriage moved forward quickly, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the carriage, sighed and talked about the past. When he was a child, he didn't have enough to eat, and his whole family starved to death. Brother Zhu Liujiu gave him a bite of food, and later he went to Huangjue Temple to become a monk.

This Zhu Liujiu saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life, and he is also the elder brother of the same clan. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally rich and prominent. The magistrate of Dingyuan County.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Huan should be satisfied with being such a dignitary, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang came to Dingyuan County in person when he received Zhu Huan's corruption and perversion of the law two days ago.

And it was Zheng Shiyuan who reported it, that is, one of the two people outside the carriage.

Zhu Qi didn't expect Zheng Shiyuan to be so stubborn. After reporting to the prince, he saw that the prince hadn't moved, so he didn't even ask a few words, and directly reported it to the emperor. You must know the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty at this time. Zhu Biaohe The Ministry of Education read it first, and then sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang after making annotations and suggestions.

This Zheng Shiyuan directly skipped Zhongshu Sheng and the crown prince, he just ignored the crown prince and Zhongshu Sheng, and he clearly thought that the crown prince would protect Zhu Huan.

Good guy, this back and forth has offended a lot of people. It's a bit like Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. Sure enough, all the famous officials have such personalities?

The carriage soon arrived at Zhu Mansion in Dingyuan County, this Zhu Mansion was also the place where Zhu Liujiu lived.

There are two big stone lions at the gate, and there is a gatekeeper standing outside the red copper gate. An internal official went up to hand over the name card. Not long after the gatekeeper left, he saw someone running over in a hurry. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Qixia got the carriage.

The person who came was a gray-haired man who looked much older than Zhu Yuanzhang, but his legs and feet were still very agile. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he bowed and quickly knelt down, saying:
"I didn't know the emperor was coming, and I didn't greet him. I deserve death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for Zhu Liujiu to kneel down, he quickly helped him up with both hands, and said:

"My old brother, how many times have I said, you don't need to kneel when you see me, come here, let's talk inside, I haven't eaten all the way here, brother, prepare something for me."

Zhu Liujiu also had a smile on his face, pulled Zhu Yuanzhang very kindly and said:
"The emperor hasn't eaten yet? Then hurry up, I'm about to eat."

Zhu Qi had an impression of Zhu Liujiu. Although his memory was very shallow, he still knew him after seeing him, so he hurried forward to salute:
"Nephew Zhu Qi has met the emperor's uncle."

Zhu Liujiu also had a smile all over his face, looking like a benevolent old man, and said to Zhu Qi:

"The last time I saw him was a child, he has grown up so much! Why are you being polite with uncle, come, come, come together."

While talking, I saw Zhu Liujiu brought Zhu Yuanzhang to the inner courtyard. There was a big table in the hall, on which there were delicacies from mountains and seas, everything that flew in the sky, swam in the water, and walked on the ground.

If other officials dared to eat like this in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they might be investigated that day, but Zhu Yuanzhang was even more happy when he saw that Zhu Liujiu ate well.

Everyone always thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor who killed heroes and slaughtered hundreds of officials, but most of Zhu Yuanzhang’s targets were corrupt officials, and he massacred heroes. He did it after Zhu Biao’s accidental death. Of course, this move directly made Zhu Di pick Peach, that is the story of history.

But Zhu Yuanzhang himself took good care of those who were kind to him. For example, Liu Jizu from the same village in Fengyang County once gave Zhu Yuanzhang a piece of thin land to bury his family members.

Even Liu De, a big landlord who once stood idly by his family's difficulties, because he was related to Liu Jizu, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not blame Liu De, but also gave Liu De [-] acres of fertile land for it. Kill the cruel.

Zhu Qi didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, and kept following in silence. Zhu Yuanzhang had a meal with Zhu Liujiu, and chatted about his family's short-sightedness, but didn't say anything else during the meal.

And at this moment, a servant from outside came to report that the young master had returned.

This young master is naturally Zhu Huan, the magistrate of Dingyuan County!

But at this time, it is still the time when the government works.

Zhu Liujiu, the father, didn't seem particularly worried, but said to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, Huan'er is back. You haven't seen him for a long time, right? Ever since he became a county magistrate, he's been thinking about doing things for the people every day, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all..."

Zhu Liujiu was praising over there, and at this moment, he saw a man in official uniform walking over, and said as he walked:
"Father, for some reason, a few foreigners came to the government to make trouble today, and it was delayed for a while..."

When Zhu Huan was talking, he walked to the door, saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting in the hall, and heard Zhu Yuanzhang say leisurely:

"It's me who is making trouble."

Zhu Liujiu didn't know why, so Zhu Huan's face turned pale, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the spot.
