Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 187
Hearing the emperor's words with anger, the commander of Jin Yiwei made Mao Xiang lower his head even lower.After a while, he dared to say: "Your Majesty, what should be done next."

"Should we think of some way to stabilize the Marquis of Yongjia and those nobles..."

"Steady? Then tell me, how to be steady?" Old Zhu's voice seemed to be still angry.

"Uh..." Mao Xiang didn't expect Lao Zhu to ask such a question. After thinking about it again and again, Fang cautiously said, "Perhaps... can we punish His Highness the Fifth Prince temporarily to reassure people?"

"Oh, wronged our son to vent your anger on them? You have a good idea." But he didn't want to, Lao Zhu snorted directly, with a bad tone.

Mao Xiang shook his body, quickly changed his posture to kneeling on the ground, and deeply bowed his head to the ground as a plea.I thought to myself, Your Majesty, there is no such thing as you, just now you clearly reprimanded His Highness Fifth Highness for his actions.

I also figured out the meaning of your words...

"Get up, you don't need to kneel." Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to intend to reprimand Mao Xiang, as if he had been pardoned, he quickly stood up and bowed his head.Lao Zhu glanced at him, although Mao Xiang didn't dare to look up, he felt trembling as if being stared at by a fierce tiger and falcon.

"Remember Jin Yiwei's identity. Jin Yiwei is not the Sanfa Division. You only need to be loyal to our Zhu family, and you don't have to think about other matters."

"If you want Jin Yiwei to do the same thing as the Criminal Ministry, what's the use of us promoting you Mao Xiang?"

Mao Xiang hurriedly bowed and said yes.Cold sweat could not help but ooze from his forehead.

Seeing that Mao Xiang had understood, Lao Zhu stopped beating.Raising his hand, he put the dirty memorabilia aside, and said, "How are you doing what we asked you to do before?"

"Return to Your Majesty. For the list you gave, I have already arranged spies."

"Most of them are as His Majesty said, and we have obtained illegal things every day. Most of the secrets that His Majesty has seen are true." Speaking of this, Mao Xiang's tone was filled with sincerity. .He couldn't understand why this His Majesty, who lived in the deep palace, was so well aware of the secret affairs and plots of those ministers.

They didn't have Jinyiwei in the past!

"It's just that there are some officials mentioned by His Majesty who haven't done anything explicit yet."

"For example, Guo Huan, the servant of the household department, although he occasionally covets one or two taels of small money, but if it is handed over to the punishment department, it is far from enough to add crimes..."

"If it's not enough to add a crime, you should find a way to make it a crime. Do you want us to teach you this?" Old Zhu said impatiently. "There are also people from the Criminal Department involved in the list, how can the Criminal Department intervene again?"

"You Jinyiwei will be in charge of this case. If the government and the public obstruct your Jinyiwei from handling the case, you will come to us!"

"Yes." Mao Xiang bowed, but his heart was beating wildly in his chest.This is a big case!Jin Yiwei was allowed to be in charge without going through the San Judicial Department of the Criminal Ministry. This was the first time that Jin Yiwei was superior to the court officials.

With this precedent, Jin Yiwei's power is in his hands, and it is just around the corner!

"Marquis Yongjia and Marquis Ji'an, what did you find?" Old Zhu asked again.

"As your Majesty expected, when the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Yan'an were out of Shoudai County, they envoyed the housekeepers to accept the property of the local tyrants and gentry's fertile land and annexed the private farm and ridge industry. The certification materials and evidence are complete."

"Even though the Marquis of Yongjia had some wild words in the mansion, he traveled from north to south on weekdays. Although he did illegal acts, he did not do anything too outrageous."

"There is no extraordinary action yet, but it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future." Old Zhu smiled coldly.

His little book clearly recorded the future behavior of Yongjia Hou Zhu Liangzu: In the 12th year of Hongwu, Zhu Liangzu left the town of Guangdong, and had deep conflicts with the county magistrate of Panyu.

At that time, in Guangdong, there were many local tyrants bullying and dominating the city. If the citizens disobeyed, they would be framed and imprisoned by them.Daotong arrested the leader of the local tyrant and paraded him through the streets with shackles.The local tyrants rushed to bribe Zhu Liangzu, and Zhu Liangzu was greedy for wealth, so he provided shelter for these local tyrants and gentry.

The people in Guangdong were in dire straits, and Daotong couldn't bear it, so he wrote memorials to the emperor of Ming Dynasty.Unexpectedly, after Zhu Liangzu heard about it, he also wrote a memorandum of slandering Taoism that turned black and white, and reported him to Zhu Yuanzhang first.

It's hateful that he trusted Zhu Liangzu at that time, and sent an envoy to bestow the death of Daotong.When Daotong's memorial arrived, he realized that Zhu Liangzu had deceived the emperor.In a hurry, he sent an envoy to forgive him.

But when the messenger of pardon arrived, Dao Tong had already been killed.

Dao Tong has now been promoted to the cabinet by him. This man is upright and honest, and has a heart for the common people. He is enough to be the humerus of Biao'er in the future. He is a rare pillar in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, Zhu Liangzu was killed because of his domineering, how could Lao Zhu not be angry?
After finding out what kind of person Daotong was, a little-known official, Lao Zhu was convinced that the information Zhu Su gave him was indeed correct.Otherwise, how could Lao Wu, a deep palace prince, have any contact with a small official?
And since Dao Tong was indeed an upright official, it was natural for Zhu Liangzu to be domineering and lawless in the future.

"I understand." Mao Xiang nodded, and then said again: "It's just that Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yongjia is far away in Beiping, and relying on the Jinyiwei alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"There are also many nobles on the list, most of whom hold heavy soldiers..."

"It doesn't matter. Let's let Tiande control the situation of the military." Old Zhu said frankly. "The fifth son is actually a little bit smart. Knowing that Qixiawei is under control, he will report back first."

"One step first, step by step first. If we know one step first, we have already taken the lead, so we can arrange it calmly."

After thinking about it, I couldn't help it after all, and cursed in a low voice: "The old five did this... suddenly killed someone with a sword, and before we are fully prepared, we want to be a father!" Wipe his ass!"

"He slashes people with great joy, but we are in a hurry to get rid of the unwarranted charges. It seems that we are destined to never get rid of the title of this tyrant."

Mao Xiang was submissive and didn't dare to raise his beak, only feeling the cold sweat running down his back.The emperor said that he is a tyrant, can he listen to this?
But Lao Zhu just complained casually.As long as Daming can last forever, he wouldn't care about these posthumous names.Turning to Mao Xiang, he said, "Let's go. We know that the heels you Jin Yiwei found are not enough."

"If the crime is not enough, you should be arrested first, and you can act more domineeringly. You are our eagle dog, and you don't need to bend your knees to others..."

"We have to think of an excuse to prevaricate those pedantic fools..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two tigers outside hurrying in, leaning over and saying:
"Your Majesty! Jin Yiwei outside sent a message from His Highness the Fifth Highness."

"Zhu Xian, the son of the Yongjia Houfu, colluded with Wang Zaixian, a student of Korea, to seize the cement industry of His Royal Highness. After the incident, Zhu Xian became furious and wanted to assassinate His Royal Highness."

"His Highness the Fifth was lucky enough to get away, and killed Zhu Xian backhandedly, but he himself was seriously injured, his robe was stained with blood, and he fell unconscious!"

Lao Zhu was a little stunned when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Mao Xiang inquiringly. Is the fifth child injured?Why didn't you say that just now?

Mao Xiang also looked puzzled, and just shook his head.

"Hey, you're five points smarter this time." Old Zhu smiled.

"There are reasons to capture Zhu Liangzu and prevaricate the pedantic master."

Immediately, he suppressed his smile, adjusted his emotions, and deliberately put on a look of surprise and anger.

"Come on, call us the head of the Three Law Departments."

"We're going to hold a church meeting to inquire about crimes!"
