Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 1371 Complaint
In Wuying Palace.

Toghon Temur told Boss Zhu with tears in his eyes about his tragic experience in which his princess was almost raped by Lan Yu and he was blackmailed along the way.

"I originally thought that if I endured it, everything would be fine once I got to the capital. So I always accepted everything that happened. But I didn't expect that they would treat me like a fat sheep and wouldn't let me go even after I got to the capital."

"What?!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "It's only the second day since you entered Beijing, and they can't wait any longer?"

"Yes. Just yesterday, his godson Cai came to me and asked for 10,000 taels of gold and 20 beautiful maids, saying that they were gifts for his promotion to Duke." He cried with real emotion, choking up and saying, "I have been robbed of my money by them. In the end, I scraped together less than 5,000 taels of gold and eight maids. After I was very careful, they left cursing."

"After they left, my wife couldn't stand it anymore. She said she couldn't live like this anymore, so she hanged herself in the middle of the night yesterday." Toghon Temur was overwhelmed with grief and kept crying.

"Don't cry yet." Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more annoyed as he listened, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any evidence to accuse Lan Yu?"

"There is no direct evidence, and they never issue receipts." Toghon Temur said with a bitter face, "But as far as I know, this is not just the experience of my family. All the princes have been treated as fat sheep and extorted. Even Nahachu has been asked for countless cattle, sheep and treasures..."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a dark face and said, "You can go back first. Don't worry, we will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really as you said, no matter how popular the person is, we will punish him severely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice for me!" Toghon Temur thanked him again, "If I had not already done everything I could, I would not have troubled Your Majesty. I also know that General Lan is now a popular and meritorious official. I do not want to embarrass Your Majesty, but I beg Your Majesty to warn him and leave me a way out..."

"Don't worry, we will make him vomit out whatever he ate." Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "Although he didn't kill your queen, she died because of him. I will definitely give her an explanation."

"As a minister, I would like to thank the emperor. I have no way to repay you, but to..." Toghon Temur burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly. Finally, with a "swish", he tore open his sleeves.

The eunuchs and guards were startled and were about to rush forward to hold him down, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.

Everyone saw Toghon Temur take out a letter from his torn sleeve.

Toghon Temur raised his hands above his head and said in a deep voice: "The only way is to get rid of the group of evil-doers for the emperor!"

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. Eunuch Wu then handed the letter to the emperor for his perusal.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out the yellowed letter and took a look at its contents. His face suddenly changed and he slammed the table and shouted, "Where did this letter come from?!"

"It was sent to the grassland by a man named Feng Ji sent by Hu Weiyong. Kharajang received it and presented it to me." Toghon Temur quickly replied:

"Hu Weiyong claimed to be a minister, slandering the emperor for being unjust and abusing meritorious officials, saying that he would not be able to rule the country for long. He said that he had contacted the Grand Tutor Li and many dukes, and had made an appointment with Japan, Tubo, and Yunnan, asking us to disturb the border together. Then he reported to the court and sent the troops and horses from the capital so that they could do their work inside."

"He promised that he would return Dadu to me after the success. The two sides would use the Yellow River as the boundary, and would forever be brothers, sharing the world." Toghon Temur glanced at Boss Zhu, and saw that his face had swelled up like a pig's kidney. He quickly put on his armor and said, "I knew that going against the will of heaven would definitely lead to failure, so of course I ignored it. Later I heard that Hu Weiyong was indeed defeated, but it seems that many of his accomplices have not been exposed..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang and Boss Zhu overturned the table!

Toghon Temur was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground.

"How do you prove that this letter is not a forgery?!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked angrily, "I cannot label my loyal and trusted minister as a traitor based on this letter from seven years ago!"

"I have a witness," Toghon Temur said hastily, "The messenger Feng Ji is still alive, among the captured tribesmen!"

"What?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed: "Then why didn't we find him when registering the prisoners?" "Because he has changed his name to Boyan, dressed like a Mongolian, and married a Mongolian wife. If no one exposes him, of course he will not be recognized." Toghon Temur said hurriedly.

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Toghon Temur with cold eyes, holding his belt with both hands, as if he was going to kill someone.

Toghon Temur felt like he was about to suffocate. Although he had been the ruler of a country, he had never seen such a terrifying aura. He realized how terrifying the emperor who founded the country was. He was afraid that only his ancestor Temujin could compete with him.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a loud voice: "Catch that Boyan and interrogate him strictly!"

~~
In the northwest of Nanjing City, in the rear guard camp of the palace army, 20,000 prisoners of the Northern Yuan Dynasty royal court were temporarily detained.

They were props used by the Ming army to present prisoners. After the ceremony of presenting prisoners, they were imprisoned here, awaiting their fate.

Being in a foreign land and being captured, the Mongolians were not in a bad mood. Because they felt that no matter how the Ming Dynasty arranged for them, their lives would definitely be much better than before. At least they had iron pots to use and could eat cooked meat...

Of course there are exceptions, for example, this guy named Boyan was very anxious. In fact, he had been abnormal since he entered Xifengkou, and the further south he went, the more anxious he became. If the Ming army had not been guarding him very closely, he would have escaped long ago.

Not to mention ordinary tribesmen, even his wife couldn't stand it anymore and asked him what he wanted to do.

"I want to escape." Boyan whispered.

"Again? No way!" His wife was shocked. "This city of Nanjing is full of Han Chinese. If we go out like this, we will be discovered."

"We can leave at night." Boyan whispered, "If you don't leave, I will leave by myself. Anyway, I don't want to stay here for a moment."

The couple was talking when suddenly someone called out to them affectionately from behind: "Hey, are you Feng Ji?!"

Boyan turned around subconsciously and blurted out: "You are..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned because he saw several Jinyiwei, who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, striding towards him. The sound just now was made by one of the Jinyiwei, obviously to trick him.

After a moment of surprise, Boyan jumped up from the ground and ran away.

The leading Jinyiwei raised his hand and fired a slingshot, hitting him right on the back of the head.

With a bang, Boyan staggered forward two steps and fell to the ground. The Jinyiwei rushed forward and pinned him down.

"What are you doing? You caught the wrong person!" Boyan's wife shouted and pushed the Jinyiwei, "Help! Help!"

The next moment, his hands were tied behind his back and he was also caught. He was also put in a muzzle, so he couldn't make a sound.

The tribesmen who surrounded them were also scared away by the fierce warnings from the Jinyiwei.

"Jinyiwei is on duty, outsiders should stay away, otherwise it will be considered as treason!"
