Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 203 Unloading and killing 'Lu', the scholar will be tested for the list!
The next day.

early morning.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

"Thank you!"

After the simple ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, the ministers stood up one after another and secretly glanced at Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, from the corner of their eyes.

Lu Ben's face was pale, and he staggered even standing up.

Last night, he knelt all night in the East Palace.

Knees are almost useless.

but it does not matter.

The prince must be full of debts to him now, right?

This debt will be doubled to the Lu family when the prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor.

Now, it's time to do another thing.

Take the initiative to let the emperor unload and kill 'Lu'!
Lu, donkey...

The corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably. He, Lu Ben, had been loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, and now he is honored as a second-rank member of the Ming Dynasty.

I have never suffered such a big setback.

Never suffered such great humiliation.

"Your Majesty, I beg you!" The hoarse voice of humiliation suddenly sounded, echoing in the hall.

The ministers were shocked and turned around one after another.

Lu Ben stepped out from behind.

Bending knees, plopping down on the ground, prostrating his forehead on the ground, "Your Majesty trusts me, Jian Bachen is the Minister of Rites, I wanted to make some innovations in the selection of imperial examinations, but I didn't think about it, because I don't have enough ability..."

The ministers nodded secretly.

Describe the targeting of Zhu Silang as an immature attempt to reform the imperial examination.

That's a good excuse!
With this excuse, the emperor's punishment should be much lighter, right?

Who came up with this excuse?

Lu Ben himself?

Prince?
While listening to Lu Ben's statement of guilt, the courtiers secretly observed Zhu Biao.

……

"I did not think carefully beforehand. During the reform process, I made the mistake of taking too big a step and blindly advancing blindly. As a result, the scholars of Yingtian Mansion were dissatisfied with the imperial court. I beg your Majesty to convict you!"

As the words fell, the echoes in the hall gradually died down.

In silence...

The officials looked at the prostrate Lu Ben, and then at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Haha!

Above the Dragon Court, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Lu Ben and sneered in his heart.

What a clever word!

In response to the behavior of the fourth child, through Lu Ben's mouth, it became a new official who took office, eager to make political achievements, ill-considered, and blindly aggressive innovation attempt?

This is a jack-of-all-trades excuse.

In the future, if officials of Ming Dynasty made mistakes, they could use this panacea excuse to justify themselves.

"Okay, Lu Qing has a very good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and he will be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch took the booklet, stood up, and read aloud: "Lu Ben was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and presided over the supervisory examination..."

The eunuch first counted the mistakes made by Lu Ben who presided over the court examination, and the negative impact caused.

"Punish Lu Benzhang fifty times, and demote him to Beiping's supervisor!"

hiss!
Baiguan gasped, his eyes widened, and he looked up in astonishment.

The severity of the punishment was unexpected!
The second grade is demoted to the fifth grade.

This kind of relegation is almost the end!

That's all.

Fifty rods are the worst.

These civil servants are not those rough-skinned and thick-skinned vulgar fellows.

According to the records of stick responsibility in the past dynasties.

Fifty boards is the life and death line for civil servants.

After the fight, whether you can live or not depends entirely on luck.

Emperor Zhu made a murderous move!
But why?
Lu Ben's face was pale, he raised his head, his eyes trembled violently, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in horror, "Why is it different from what I expected? ! '

Immediately, she turned her head and begged to look at Zhu Biao...

Now, only the prince can intercede for him.

Zhu Biao stepped forward, "Father..."

"Drag people down!" Zhu Biao was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as he spoke.

The imperial guards were on duty outside the hall, quickly stepped inside, set up the sluggish Lu Ben, and dragged away.

what……

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me once... ah..."

Soon, screams came from outside.

The officials lowered their heads, and every scream made everyone paler.

When the screams became weaker and weaker, instead of relaxing, the officials felt chills all over their bodies.

The voice is getting weaker and weaker, indicating that Lu Ben may be dying!

Hu Weiyong glanced at Zhu Biao from the corner of his eye, "Is this a call for the prince?"What did the prince do?What made Emperor Zhu so dissatisfied?Or is Emperor Zhu's support for the prince not so firm anymore? '

Lu Ben is the father of the prince's side concubine.

Now, the emperor looms to kill Lu Ben.

In particular, Zhu Silang has been in the limelight recently, and at the same time, the emperor also showed a great preference for Zhu Silang.

All the information, taken together, is too intriguing.

……

This morning.

All the officials are trembling.

Downwards.

From the Fengtian Temple, file out, and those who make friends with each other in threes, threes, and fives get together.

Lan Yu caught up with Xu Da, and whispered seriously: "Third Brother, if Your Majesty wants to abolish the Crown Prince and support Zhu Silang, will our brothers have to stand on the opposite side?"

Xu Da paused and looked at Lan Yu...

'Lanyu, also began to learn to beat around the bush. '

With a ventriloquist, he said calmly, "You think too much."

After saying that, don't stop, and leave quickly, you can't afford to provoke him, and he can't afford to hide.

go home!

See no one behind closed doors!
Anyway, he already thought so.

……

"Master."

Hu Weiyong closed the door of the right minister's office, and couldn't wait to ask: "What is Emperor Zhu going to do?"

Killing intent loomed towards Lu Ben.

Zhao Zhu, the successor of the Minister of Rites, who could be promoted, had previously served as the crown prince of the East Palace.

Prince Zanshan is the Prince's accompanying reading.

It is also the prince line with Zhengmiaohong roots.

In this way, his previous judgment that the emperor's support for the crown prince has wavered is not valid.

This time, he was really confused about what Emperor Zhu wanted to do.

"Please teach me, teacher." Hu Weiyong poured tea for Li Shanchang, while staring at Li Shanchang eagerly.

Li Shanchang picked up the teacup and concealed the strangeness in his eyes.

Emperor Zhu probably saw through the purpose of Lu Ben's actions.

Find out the prince's temperament, let the prince have a debt, and plan for the long-term layout.

No emperor can tolerate this kind of thing as long as he sees through it!
Why did Cao Cao kill Yang Xiu?

At this moment, Emperor Zhu asked why he had murderous intentions towards Lu Ben!
This idea was given to Lu Ben by him, so of course he couldn't tell Hu Weiyong.

At this moment, the most important thing for him to hide is to prevent the emperor from discovering that he is the one who advises Lu Ben.

Li Shanchang put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhu, who once served as the prince's companion, came to power, and that can explain everything. The emperor's support for the prince is as usual, without any wavering."

"As for the emperor's murderous intention towards Lu Ben, we don't know what the reason might be."

After finishing speaking, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Have you found the scholar who used ventriloquism to make Lu Ben's life and death depend on luck?"

"Soon." Hu Weiyong suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "The area has been delineated. They are the last group of candidates to leave the examination room. The list of these people has also been listed in detail. The student union will send people to investigate one by one."

This talent, he is bound to get it!

……

Royal study.

"Father, why!"

Zhu Biao followed Zhu Yuanzhang, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he opened his mouth a little emotionally.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and waved.

After all the maids and eunuchs had gone out and the door of the imperial study was closed, he asked, "Why did the emperor kill the donkey, right?"

The corners of Zhu Biao's lips twitched.

At the beginning of this incident, the emperor turned a blind eye and deliberately condoned it.

This is how Lu Ben is treated now.

This is a typical killing of donkeys.

It will be chilling.

He is not for Lu Ben alone.

But worry about courtiers chilling.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, sat down, and said, "Father is the emperor, so you don't need to explain to others, but you are the prince chosen by your father, and you are the only one!"

"Father is willing to teach you everything..."

"That's right. From the very beginning when we turned a blind eye, we were ready to kill the donkey. If Lu Ben used his weapon for private use, he would definitely be punished. This is the emperor..."

……

He had already found all the excuses.

Once Xia Shimin passed such a difficult college examination, he would be able to pass the examination of scholar.

So, why did Xia Shimin fail the admission test for the Imperial Academy?
Guozijian is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

This excuse is neither light nor serious, hitting Lu Ben more than a dozen times is enough to deter the court.

But who knew, the fourth son of a bastard would make a ventriloquist incident.

"The ventriloquist was done by the fourth child?!" Zhu Biao widened his eyes in shock when he heard that.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.

In fact, in terms of hard-heartedness and ruthless and decisive shots, Biaoer is really not as good as the fourth child.

How ruthless is the fourth child.

Lan Yu went to Tuqiao Village to provoke him, and he almost left Lan Yu's life in Tuqiao Village.

Lu Ben jumped up and down to target.

The fourth child has been too lazy to answer.

But as soon as he made a move, Lu Ben was completely planted.

If the fourth child is Biaoer, I am afraid that even if Lu Ben knelt to death in the East Palace, the fourth child would not feel indebted.

For a long time, why has he been suspicious of the fourth child, and why can't he be completely at ease with the fourth child?

Because he noticed that although the fourth child likes the ordinary and comfortable life in Tuqiao Village.

And having fun, not pretending.

But in the bones of the fourth child, there is a kind of indifference!
The fourth child seemed to want to dilute and dissolve the indifference in his bones with an ordinary life, but he could pass Jin Yiwei's surveillance and his observation.

This indifference has always existed.

Only to Miaoyun, to the two children, to the villagers of Tuqiao Village...

In short, only when he is truly accepted and recognized by him, his indifference will disappear.

Once the fourth child has ambitions, this kind of indifference will make him even more powerful.

In fact, this kind of indifference would be perfect if it appeared on Biao'er.

Outer sage and inner king!

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, collected his thoughts, picked up a piece of paper, and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it and opened it...

This is a will to punish Lu Ben.

But it was obviously an abandoned decree.

From three grades and two Zhejiang salt transportation envoys, the punishment is much lighter.

Zhu Biao raised his head, "Father..."

"It's strange, why did we change our mind?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Father changed his mind, and he only planned to let Lu Ben go to Beiping to serve as the inspector."

"Fifty boards, the father added it when he heard that he went to the East Palace to kneel and plead guilty!"

……

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's narration, Zhu Biao finally understood the reason.

"He dared to rely on finding out your temperament, trying to make you feel indebted, and planning for the long-term. If he wasn't your father-in-law, we would have killed him directly instead of hitting fifty boards. Whether he lives or dies depends on fate." !"

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang's hand slapped on the copy suddenly.

Zhu Biao was silent.

Before that, he did feel that he owed Lu Ben a lot.

……

After a long time, Zhu Biao raised his head, "Father, I want to apologize to my fourth brother..."

"He ran away!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and scolded in annoyance: "Yesterday, after doing a good deed, he returned to your Uncle Xu's house, and he took his family of four, greased the soles of his feet, and ran away!"

"You don't need to apologize to him. The fourth child will not be angry with you because of Lu Ben."

He knew why Biao'er wanted to apologize to the fourth child.

But with his understanding.

The bastard Fourth Brother would not equate Lu Ben with Biao'er.

This will not cause any estrangement from Biao'er.

His attack on Lu Ben was only aimed at Lu Ben, not the target of the sword.

Zhu Biao couldn't help being amused.

It's a good thing that the fourth child, who has made such a big deal, ran away immediately.

"Father, how did the fourth son do in the exam? Are you sure that he will come back from the exam for our family?" Zhu Biao asked with a smile.

"He ran faster than a rabbit, and my father didn't ask him if he was sure. Let's wait a month and see the result!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a smile.

If the bastard doesn't give him a talent test, he will come back.

Let's see how he cleans up!

……

Wangxian Tower.

When we arrived in Jiangning yesterday, it was already dark.

With the two little ones, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun did not dare to travel overnight.

Just stayed in Jiangning.

Early in the morning, Zhou Shixian rushed over after hearing the news.

"Mr. Zhu, how did you do in the exam? Magistrate Jiang sent a letter once, asking the junior to write a letter at any time to inform Mr. Zhu of his success in the imperial examination." Zhou Shixian was very curious and couldn't wait to ask.

Zhu Di looked at the letter Zhou Lang sent back from Liaodong.

This letter was written in the name of Zhou Lang by eldest brother Zhang Yu, Qiu Laoer, and Zhu Laosan.

Sent to Jiangning the day before yesterday.

Introduced in the letter.

Qiu Laoer is now the commander of the Daliaohe Guard.

Feng Sheng integrated the five guards along the entire Daliao River into one guard, and handed it over to Qiu Lao Er as the commander.

This is a forward defender who directly faces Liaoyang Wang Nahachu.

Qiu Lao Er, the guard, has no rear, and is all on the border.

Feng Sheng's move was quite insidious.

Fortunately, Qiu's second son has no rear, but his eldest brother Zhang Yu cooperates.

Big brother, the big bandit, already has ten thousand soldiers and horses.

Successfully nibbled away a few shares, and the separatist forces that had been obedient to Naha in the first place really gained a firm foothold in Liaodong.

Raising pirates is considered to be on the right track.

It was mentioned in the letter that Zhang Boss and Qiu Lao Er took advantage of the muddy state of Liaodong in the spring, and all parties were in a period of military silence.

We are vigorously reclaiming wasteland and training troops.

Prepare to cooperate secretly to launch a summer campaign in summer.

A total of nearly 2 troops were used!

Such a scale of troops is really not enough compared to several times of conquering fortresses, with hundreds of thousands or 10,000+ troops at every turn.

But it's not too small.

Reasonable use may not fail to create huge results.

……

After reading it, Zhu Di closed the letter and said with a smile: "It feels okay, but we won't know the specific results until the ranking is released a month later."

Zhou Shixian said with a smile: "That line, my father mentioned in the letter from home that the Shangguan of the Weisuo was good to him and sympathized with him. After half a month, he will take a few robes and leave home to visit relatives. According to the time, it will be in the scholar exam. Before and after the list."

The strange look in Zhu Di's eyes flashed away.

He felt that Zhou Lang brought a few robes home.

It may have something to do with the summer battle mentioned in Qiu's second letter.

Written in two letters, it should be for insurance.

After all, the plan to raise bandits is too sensitive.

These things must not be said to Zhou Shixian.

Then he smiled and said, "Alright then, when your father comes back, you must notify me."

……

After Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun returned to Tuqiao Village, they were busy with spring planting, resuming classes, and taking care of the two little ones.

Had a great time.

Jinling City was a bit of a mess.

Because, Zhu Yuanzhang's son, Zhu Silang participated in this year's hospital examination.

Up and down in the hall, they closely watched Ying Tianfu's progress in grading papers, eagerly looking forward to the day when the scholar will be awarded the list.

The officials of Yingtianfu were trembling and under unprecedented pressure.

Hu Weiyong and many other people are intensively investigating the person who initiated the ventriloquist incident.

As the investigation continued to deepen, the whole incident began to slowly recover and surfaced.

Time is fleeting.

a month later.

The day before Yingtianfu's exams were published...

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

　　The time span of this chapter is a bit long, everyone said water, I saw it, the plot arrangement this time, I arranged three lines, one for Zhu Yuanzhang to see his grandson, one for the imperial examination, and one for the Xia family. This is the first time in one plot , arranging three lines at the same time, I may not have grasped the rhythm well, here, I would like to apologize to all book lovers.
