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

Chapter 69
Not to mention that Zhang Yifan stole the show by quarreling with the officials in the hall. Li Shanchang couldn't let Zhang Yifan get what he wanted just because he wanted to steal Zhu Jingjing's affairs from the Li family.

It's just that Li Shanchang's city is deep and his status is high, so he has been watching Zhang Yifan's performance with a cold eye.

It would be best if Zhang Yifan was cured by civil servants and military generals.Because in his opinion, if he had to go out in person to confront Zhang Yifan, it would be an insult to his identity and the victory would be ineffective.

As a result, civil servants and military generals had nothing to do with Zhang Yifan, and even Hu Weiyong suffered a big loss when he went out. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang began to appreciate him, and he was likely to be rewarded, Li Shanchang had no choice but to go out in person.

Of course, Li Shanchang is not a fool. Not to mention that assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in the past proved his ability. His current age alone is enough for him to remind himself to make a decision before taking action.

He didn't know the specific situation about cement, so he didn't attack Zhang Yifan on cement.His eyes were very poisonous, so he made a fuss about Zhang Yifan beating the drum.

At least in his opinion, the thing that beats the drum is the seven inches of this country boy.As long as he is caught within seven inches, no matter how good his cement is, he can be pinned to death!

At this time, as soon as his voice fell, the civil servants and military generals were immediately refreshed when they heard it. They all sighed in their hearts: Jiang is very old and spicy. He is indeed the number one contributor to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. With this opening, he can be killed. This arrogant country boy!
The so-called drowned dog is beaten by everyone, not to mention that he can please the previously disgraced prime minister and the Korean prince who is at the height of his power.

Therefore, the civil servants and military generals cheered up and agreed one after another. They seized on Zhang Yifan's beating of the drum and shouted that Zhang Yifan should be punished.

"Your Majesty, I agree with you. There is no rule without rules. The Dengwen drum can only be beaten when there are serious grievances!"

"Your Majesty, offering treasures is a good thing. You can use other ways to present them to the imperial court. Now this son is beating the drum to offer treasures. It's a child's play and must be punished!"

"Your Majesty, the national law is majestic and cannot be blasphemed!"

"I sincerely request your Majesty to strictly observe the law and set a warning to others!"

"If you let this man go and others follow his example, where will your Majesty's majesty be?

"..."

This time, listening to the words of these courtiers, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a little unhappy about Zhang Yifan beating the drum.

Although he actually understood that these ministers were definitely motivated to attack Zhang Yifan out of selfish motives and were not really based on the majesty of national law, Zhang Yifan did something wrong by beating the drum.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew that Zhang Yifan's main purpose in beating the news drum was to steal the bride.Apart from this, there is no other way for him to grab time.

However, a Dengwen drum is a Dengwen drum. If you beat a Dengwen drum, you must comply with the regulations for beating Dengwen drum.Otherwise, if Zhu Yuanzhang let him go, as those courtiers said, where would his majesty be?

As for Zhang Yifan's difficulties, he couldn't care about that much.At most, he can be spared a life when he is punished, but the pain of his flesh and blood is unavoidable.

With this thought in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang started to care, and immediately asked in a cold voice: "What can you say about this?" Zhu Di beside him was helpless when he saw this situation.For this reason, he couldn't help but glance at Li Shanchang, and couldn't help but think in his heart: It's really powerful. Just one sentence brought Zhang Yifan back to his original form.

As for the prince Zhu Biao, he was sighing in his heart. His father indeed had foresight. The weight of the Li family was indeed very important. Zhang Yifan, a mere Zhang Yifan, could not compare with the Li family!
However, even when everyone was not optimistic about Zhang Yifan, Zhang Yifan still remained calm and did not panic at all.

After he glanced at Li Shanchang, he replied to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The ordinary people who beat the Dengwen drum naturally have their own reasons for beating the Dengwen drum, and they will never dare to beat it randomly!"

"..." When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was speechless. What did this mean? He wanted to tell the story about preventing the marriage proposal?

This difficulty is a hardship for you, but for the imperial court, it still does not meet the requirements of beating the drum and must be punished!
On the other side, Li Shanchang was slightly taken aback when he heard what he said.

Because he didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to notify Zhang Yifan, knowing that he would propose marriage during the congratulations today.

Is it possible that this kid can still absolve himself of the crime of beating the drum?He doesn't even have a complaint, how can he be prepared in advance?

It's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!
With this in mind, Li Shanchang looked at Zhang Yifan coldly and listened to what he could say!
As long as there is a little bit of something wrong, the civil and military officials of the whole court will be watching, and they will definitely not be able to escape this crime!
Haha, there are many restrictions on beating the Dengwen drum. How can it be so easy?
In the main hall, it suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Yifan.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't want Zhang Yifan to talk about it, because he didn't want to make his daughter's affairs public, let alone be known, so he sent someone to notify Zhang Yifan.

But in this case, even if he was the emperor, he couldn't stop him, so he turned gloomy.

Zhang Yifan didn't seem to see it, and heard him say to Zhu Yuanzhang: "The ordinary people fired cement. After using the cement to build the village, the reputation spread immediately, attracting powerful people who wanted to snatch the cement..."

Upon hearing this, Li Shanchang couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Zhang Yifan did not mention Zhu Jingjing's matter, but instead talked about other things. Then he felt better, his face looked better, and he continued to listen to Zhang Yifan's words.

Zhang Yifan then said loudly: "... After the common people were convinced of the effect of this cement, they would dedicate it to His Majesty for the construction of the Ming Dynasty. But the powerful backing was too great. Although His Highness King Yan stopped him in time to make things difficult for the common people. But There is a big difference in identity between the common people and him, so I am afraid that he will use other methods, so I can only beat the drum!"

Hu Weiyong actually didn't know about Li You. He was still angry when he heard Zhang Yifan's words. Of course he didn't want Zhang Yifan to get away with it, so he immediately refuted: "Even so, you should go to the county government or even the Ministry of Punishment, Complaints to the Yushitai and others, unless these can’t help you, then you can beat the drum, don’t you understand?”

After hearing this, other civil servants agreed one after another. In short, there is still a problem with Zhang Yifan beating the drum, and he still needs to be punished!

However, Li Cunyi and Li Shanchang glanced at each other, and they both saw a little worry in each other's eyes.

Obviously, they probably realized what Zhang Yifan's reason was!
