Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The Minister of Punishment said tactfully in the note: "Although Ding Weishan and Jiang Jiangkai have committed heinous crimes, they are still young and vigorous, and they cannot distinguish between right and wrong. Now that they have known their mistakes and repented, I beg the emperor to remember the two veterans Ding Xiang and Jiang Guogong. After years of dedicated service to the court, these two men should be given a lenient sentence and given a chance to mend their ways. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and threw the memorial with a bang.

"This is simply unreasonable! I ordered the establishment of a school, but they dared to disrupt the school. What do they want? How can I forgive them for showing such contempt for the imperial power?"

The eunuch in the chamber was so frightened that he knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I should not talk too much. Your Majesty is wise and has made his own decisions."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down angrily, looked at the memorial on the case, and remained silent for a long time.

He knew in his heart that Ding Xiang and Jiang Guogong were the elders of the court after all, and they had been working hard for the court. It would be a bit too cruel to let them watch their sons die.

Furthermore, they are very popular in the court, and if they are pressed too hard, they will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of other ministers.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made up his mind.

With a wave of his ink pen, he issued an edict: "Although Ding Weishan and Jiang Jiangkai committed extremely heinous crimes, since they are the first offenders and they still have old fathers at home, I will spare them the crime of death and send them to the border areas. As Ding Xiang and Jiang Guogong are important ministers of the imperial court, If you don't teach your son well, you will be punished with a salary of one year."

When the news reached the prison, both Ding Weishan and Jiang Jiangkai cried with joy.

"As long as you survive! If you go to the border, go to the border. It's better than death!" Ding Weishan murmured.

Jiang Jiangkai also burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty is so kind to us, we are so lucky!"

The next morning, the two men were put into a prison car by the jailer and driven to the border by a group of officers and soldiers.

When the people in the capital saw this scene, they started talking a lot.

"Look at these two young masters from aristocratic families, they are used to being domineering and arrogant, and now they are like today!" A middle-aged man drinking tea in the teahouse said happily.

"That's right! Who allowed them to bully the people without learning or skills? This is called self-inflicted trouble!" an old man selling candied haws on the side continued.

"I heard that they deliberately destroyed schools and sports grounds in Fengyang Mansion, just to go against the imperial court. Isn't this an obvious crime of deceiving the emperor?" A woman weaving said mysteriously.

"Tsk, tsk, I really don't know how high the sky is! How dare they stop the emperor's great cause of establishing schools and educating talents? Are they getting impatient?" A vendor selling rattles sighed with emotion.

"I see, that Prince Chu Ze is a truly good official! He works for the welfare of the people, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, it is like the sky is alive in this world!" An old craftsman who cobbled shoes praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Isn't that right! Only with upright officials like Prince Chuze can we people live and work in peace and contentment!" Everyone agreed.

"It's really sad that the son of the dignified Duke Jiang Guo and the son of Prime Minister Ding ended up like this." A blind entertainer shook his head and sighed.

"This means don't dare to go against the country and the people just because of your own power!" A wealthy businessman in silk and satin summed it up sharply: "Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences, and your reputation will be ruined and you will never recover!"

The people were talking about each other, and they were very happy about the ending of Ding Weishan and Jiang Jiangkai. In their view, no matter how prominent the family background is, no matter how dazzling the identity is, if it loses the support of the people, it will be just a passing thing.

People must understand what the bottom line is.

Otherwise, sooner or later, you will be trapped in a cocoon and self-destructed.

Ding Weishan and Jiang Jiangkai, who were in the prison car, were suffering.

Hearing the pointing fingers and all kinds of discussions from the people around them, they felt regretful. It was a sin to let such a good young master live his life and do such things!
Officials from surrounding states and counties were all surprised when they received Chu Ze's invitation.

They heard that Prince Fengyang had opened a new school and a sports ground, and now he was actually holding a bicycle competition? This is the first time this has ever happened!

The prefect Liu Ming took the invitation, his face was filled with joy, and he said to the master beside him: "Prince Chu Ze is indeed a capable man! In just a few months, he not only built a school, but now also holds a bicycle race. This man's The courage and vision are extraordinary!”

The master nodded and agreed: "Your Majesty, the magistrate, is absolutely right. Prince Chuze is indeed a confidant of the current emperor. No wonder he has won the trust of the emperor and has been repeatedly used in important positions. Those of us who are local officials should really learn from him."

Liu Ming stroked his beard and smiled and said: "So, this time I must bring the gift list and go to his door to make friends with him. If I have any errands in the future, I might as well ask him to help me."

In those small and backward counties, the county magistrate Gao Yuan said to his staff with an envious look: "Oh, people are so irritating. Look at Prince Chuze, he is powerful. It is not easy to run a primary school." It’s easy. What kind of bicycle race is he doing now? Tell me, is he just showing off?”

The staff hurriedly advised: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Chu Ze is the prince after all, and we subordinates do not dare to make unreasonable opinions. Besides, if someone can come up with such a new thing, that's where the ability lies. We should still be honest. Bring the gift list to the banquet. Maybe you can ask for advice on how to manage it."

Gao Yuan sighed helplessly and said: "That's all, let's go. I hope Prince Chu Ze doesn't look down on us country officials too much."

The wheels of the horse-drawn carriages rattled along the way, raising dust on the roadside.

In the carriage, several dignitaries in official uniforms were discussing animatedly.

"Everyone, what do you think of this cycling competition organized by Prince Chu?" a middle-aged official with a slightly bulging belly asked.

An old man with a white beard next to him stroked his beard and said meaningfully: "This kid Chu Ze has such courage and vision at such a young age. It's really not easy. At our age, we only know how to drink and gamble all day long. , isn’t it shameful?”

"That's right! Prince Chu not only loves the people like his own son, but he can also bring benefits and eliminate disadvantages. How many in the court can match this level of political achievements?" Another slender official sighed with emotion.

"Haha, Prince Chu Ze, you are so popular around the capital and Fengyang now! When you invite us to watch the game this time, you must show off well and take the opportunity to build a good relationship with us." The middle-aged man said. the official said with a smile.

The thin official nodded in agreement and said, "That's natural. But this Chu Ze does have real talent and learning, and it's right to give him face. Besides, if I go this time, I might be able to learn some management skills."

The old man sighed and said: "Oh, don't mention it. We are a broken city with insufficient taxes and poor people's livelihood. Compared with Fengyang, it is not even a bit worse." (End of Chapter)
