Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 65 He is here

As Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man, Li Shanchang has been together for many years and has long understood Zhu Yuanzhang's habits.From the look on his face, I knew he was going to agree, but unexpectedly, the Dengwen drum sounded, interrupting everything.

This made him very dissatisfied, so he gestured to Yang Wenyu with his eyes.

Originally, it would have been a good idea to have someone beat the drum and ask Hu Weiyong, the leader of the officials, to come forward and stop King Yan on his happy day. However, Hu Weiyong was not enthusiastic about the marriage between the Li family and the royal family, so Li Shanchang asked Li Shanchang to come forward. Yushitai came forward.

Yang Wenyu understood the idea and immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Now is the day of great joy, and it is wrong to disturb His Majesty's interest. I would like to deal with the matter of Deng Wengu, and I will report it to you another day!"

After hearing this, everyone else thought it made sense. Whether it was to please the Li family or the emperor, they all agreed.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little moved.However, when he heard a civil servant play from the bottom: "Your Majesty takes care of everything every day, it is really unnecessary to open Dengwengu. It is better to return it to the Ministry of Education in the future, and you can play it to Your Majesty later!"

These words immediately touched Zhu Yuanzhang's sensitive nerves.

Previously, he had been dissatisfied with the fact that all matters reported to the local government first went through Zhongshu Province and then came to him.So much so that Zhongshu Sheng made the decision on some matters himself and did not send them to him.

The conflict between the prime minister's power and the imperial power started from this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang can tolerate other things, but reaching out to seize power from him is absolutely intolerable.Even if others thought it was for his own good to reduce the burden on him as an emperor, he couldn't bear it.

Therefore, after hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted expressionlessly: "The rules of Dengwen Drum are set by me personally, how can they be changed! Come on, take the person who beats Dengwen Drum to the palace, I will deal with it myself! "

The imperial guard at the main hall received the order, went down immediately, and quickly brought people over.

The festive atmosphere in the hall naturally disappeared because of this incident.Everyone is guessing who this person is and what he is doing.

Generally speaking, as an official, what I dislike the most is the Dengwengu system that can directly sue the imperial court.As far as the more than 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, there have always been officials who have attacked the Dengwengu system, whether it is the Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty.However, in the end, Emperor Ming insisted on it.

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many conditions were finally added.As for the Manchu and Qing dynasties, it became even more of a decoration.

Just as they were guessing, the censor who was on duty to listen to the drum was brought into the hall first.As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on the supervisory censor.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched him enter the hall with a cold face. He couldn't help but frown, and immediately asked: "Where is the complaint?"

To beat the drum, you must have a complaint and register relevant information.None of these things can be changed.In history, there was a censor who changed the complaint because of a complaint filed by a fellow villager. However, regardless of the final outcome of the matter, he was directly sentenced to death by the emperor for violating the rules that could not be changed.

The censor was sweating profusely. Of course, it could also be because of the rain outside. In short, his face was wet and his face was a little frightened. He said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, those who beat the drum have not complained. It’s too late to write!”

"..." Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. What does it mean?It's too late to write a complaint. How urgent is it to be like this?

In fact, the supervisory censor was also a mess and didn't know how to deal with it. As a result, the emperor's decree came and gave him relief, and he returned the decree directly.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a little confused. When he came to his senses, he was both curious and angry.What he was curious about was, what kind of grievance, or what kind of situation, would cause the drummer to not file a complaint?
What makes him a little annoyed is that there is no complaint despite beating the drum, which feels like a bit of a joke.

At this time, the situation was already like this, so he directly ordered with a cold face: "Bring the drummer to the temple!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to ask the censor what the situation was, and just asked the drummer.

After hearing this decree, many people were curious and turned to look at the entrance of the hall.They all want to see what kind of person this person who beats the drum is, and what kind of thing is he doing?
As a result, Zhang Yifan appeared grandly for the first time in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

That's right, the person who played the drum was Zhang Yifan.

In order to steal his wife, he also risked his life, and thought of beating the drum to see Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible.

Only by doing so can he be considered as doing his best.Otherwise, if you miss Zhu Jingjing, you will regret it for the rest of your life even if you are alive.

As for the possible consequences, or the worst consequences, he has already considered it. The worst case scenario is that he will wear a white soul once. Anyway, there are some things that must be done, and there are some risks that must be borne!

Besides, it may not be the worst outcome.Because he has already thought about what he should do in the Hongwu Dynasty in a better way!This time, it is actually an opportunity.

At this time, Zhang Yifan walked into the hall. His appearance made everyone in the hall bulge their eyes.

I can't help it, this image is quite special, and I can't even think of being in the limelight.

I saw that his whole body was soaked, and his clothes were still covered in mud. It looked like he had wrestled in the mud. It can be said that from this image, he was quite embarrassed.

It can even be said that among all the people who appeared in this hall, he was the most embarrassed.

However, Zhang Yifan's temperament is the most unique.

Entering the main hall, I didn't feel any fear or trembling. Instead, I looked full of energy and extraordinary bearing.It's a bit like that kind of majestic and high-spirited step into the hall.

There is a huge contrast between his wretched appearance and his majestic spiritual temperament.Anyone's eyes will light up when they see him, and they will always remember him.

Not to mention, Zhang Yifan is also outstanding in appearance.

His appearance made the hall very quiet for a moment, and almost everyone did not recover immediately.

The same goes for Zhu Yuanzhang. He thought of many kinds of people who would beat the drum, but he never thought that he would be such a young person.

For some reason, after he saw the person clearly, a thought flashed through his mind for the first time: Could this person be the country boy that Jing Jing was thinking about?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Zhang Yifan had already walked to the front of the hall, then knelt down there, and said loudly, "Zhang Yifan of Caomin Liujia Village, I have seen my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
