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

Chapter 72 This life is enough (first update)
Li You never expected that Zhang Yifan would actually beat the drum and go to the imperial court to sue him.

But people are definitely different.

On Li You's side, while rushing to the palace, someone informed him of what happened in the palace, so as not to be caught off guard and make mistakes.

Anyone else would never get this treatment.

Therefore, by the time Li You arrived at the main hall, he already knew what to do.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, Li You just complained: "Wei Chen went to Liujia Village because he knew that someone was using Zheng Guogong's name to deceive him."

Having said this, he turned to look at Chang Mao, the Duke of Zheng, and immediately asked: "That day, the official asked the Duke whether he knew about Liujiacun and Zhang Yifan. The Duke replied that he didn't know, yes or no?"

Of course Chang Mao is qualified to be in the main hall. He has been eating melons and watching the show, but unexpectedly, he also ate them.

To him, to be honest, he also couldn't bear Zhang Yifan's arrogance, and when he heard Li You asking him, he replied truthfully: "Yes, I don't know Liujiacun, nor this person, I've never met him before! "

After hearing their conversation, Manchao Civil and Military felt that there was a twist. Could it be that the final truth was that Zhang Yifan turned out to be a false accusation?

Haha, now that’s good, if it’s really a false accusation, His Majesty will have to skin him!
Suddenly, most of the civil and military officials in the hall became excited.

This country boy is so arrogant!
Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned when he heard this. He had actually learned about Li You's meeting with Chang Mao through the school inspector.I just didn't expect that there would be so many details involved.

Just a small Liujia Village involved King Yan, Duke Han, the Prime Minister and Duke Zheng!
This kid in front of me is really capable of tossing around!

Zhang Yifan, who was on the other side, listened and faced the ill-intentioned eyes of the civil and military officials of the court. He was not afraid at all and immediately answered: "I never pretended to be from the Duke of Zheng's house. I just said that I fired the For the cement, it was Zheng Guogong’s manpower and material resources. I only found out later..."

Having said this, he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and said gratefully: "It was the Donggong who had a keen eye and knew that the cement that the common people wanted to bake was a good thing, so the Crown Princess deployed the manpower and material resources of Duke Zheng's palace to support it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the hall were immediately dumbfounded.

In the end, the Dong Palace was involved!
Prince Zhu Biao was also speechless. He did not expect that he would actually eat his own melon.

Although he actually already understood the cause and effect.However, he had never thought about taking any credit before.After all, he didn't actually know it from beginning to end, and he didn't understand it until the end.

Now that Zhang Yifan has given him the credit for making cement, is it possible that he still doesn't want to do it?
Besides, what Zhang Yifan said is actually true.It's just that the merit of this East Palace is actually the Crown Princess, and it has nothing to do with him as the Crown Prince.

At this time, seeing everyone's eyes turning to look at him, Zhu Biao nodded and said, "It's true!"

Just such a sentence, the credit is in hand, and the elder sister also has an explanation, there is no profit but no loss!
At this time, when he said this, the hat of ostentation on Zhang Yifan's head naturally disappeared.

And because Prince Zhu Biao stood up, the civil and military officials in the hall hesitated for a moment, wondering whether they should continue to besiege Zhang Yifan.

Most of them were thinking: They didn't know what kind of status Zhang Yifan had in the heart of the prince. What was the relationship between this boy and the East Palace?If you offend the prince in order to please the Li family, or to please the prime minister Hu Weiyong, it is obviously not cost-effective.

On Li You's side, he was naturally not stupid, seeing the prince's words, he changed his words and said: "I didn't know this inside story before I was dismissed, but after His Royal Highness King Yan arrived, I realized it was a misunderstanding, so I left immediately! As for retaliation and coveting his cement, this person has never seen the world, so it is understandable for him to look down on his subordinates so much!"

After he finished speaking, he actually smiled and said to Zhang Yifan: "I have a good memory. I remember clearly who was present and what was said. I have never said anything about my family background. ,right?"

When he said this, when he said the words "who was present at the time", he deliberately raised his voice a little, which was obviously an emphasis.

Of course Zhang Yifan could tell that he was threatening, and he was just emphasizing that Zhu Jingjing was also there.If the trouble continues, he will expose this matter.

Before Zhang Yifan could reply, he continued: "It was my attendant who told me about my family background, but I wanted to stop him but it was too late. I must have said that right, right?"

"Your attendant said that, that's right!" Zhang Yifan listened and looked into his eyes and replied.

When Li Shanchang heard this, he stood up and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, it seems that the matter should be clear!"

Hearing South Korea speak openly, everyone turned to look at him to hear what he said about this matter.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Li Shanchang talked eloquently: "Li You has no intention of coveting cement, and Zhang Yifan is excusable for beating the drum. All of this is caused by misunderstandings. Regarding the servants at home who bully others and intimidate the people, If you do something, you will definitely be severely punished and will never let it happen again." Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood, and the Li family took a step back and did not continue to investigate this matter further.Let's end it like this, don't punish Li You, don't expose the princess, punish the servant and give him an explanation, okay?

If we dig deeper, it will definitely be confirmed that Li You coveted cement and he needs to be punished. However, in this case, the princess who has not left the palace went to play outside the city and was very close to the country boy. It is also a scandal for the royal family.

It ended like this. The Li family suffered a small loss. They disposed of a domestic slave and their reputation was still damaged. On the royal side, the East Palace got a good deal.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and agreed to Li Shanchang's suggestion.

In this way, Zhang Yifan is not guilty of beating the drum, but he has the merit of offering treasures.

However, Yang Wenyu was pointed at and scolded by Zhang Yifan in the main hall, which was a great shame and humiliation for him.Seeing that Zhang Yifan was about to be let go, he naturally refused to give up.

So, he immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, this person is absolutely sure that cement is a national treasure. I kindly ask you to verify it. If it is not true, he must be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

The other civilian and military generals were scolded for besieging Zhang Yifan just now.In other words, those Korean princes and prime ministers also wanted to please their master and took this opportunity to continue chasing Zhang Yifan in this regard.The Li family will not be involved, and they can even vent their anger for the Li family.

Therefore, they all agreed and demanded that Zhang Yifan be punished for deceiving the emperor!
Regarding these situations, Li Shanchang stayed aloof and did not participate in them anymore.However, from his eyes that occasionally glanced at Zhang Yifan, it could be seen that he wanted Zhang Yifan to be liquidated.

It has to be said that Zhang Yifan's talk in the main hall offended most of the civil servants and generals, almost to the point where everyone wanted to be beaten.

The aura shown by the generous statements of these courtiers below is as if Zhu Yuanzhang let Zhang Yifan go like this, it is estimated that the country will lose the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy, but he actually understood that this time the civil servants and military generals united not for imperial power.But this country boy has aroused public anger, he is really a troublemaker!
Thinking like this, he made a decision and immediately said to Zhang Yifan: "I decided to go to Liujiacun in person to verify whether the cement is worthy of the title of national treasure. If you exaggerate and it is very different from your description, I will not forgive you. If you do the opposite, there will be a heavy reward!"

This is what his son Zhu Di suggested. The cement workshop is there, and the roads and houses are also built with cement.Looking at Liujiacun in the past, it was the easiest thing to verify.

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the other civil and military ministers and said: "You can go together if you want to see if this cement is really worthy of the court's large-scale firing!"

According to Zhang Yifan's description, it is related to the imperial court's control over the frontier, and it is related to the expansion of territory.Therefore, when the generals heard it, they immediately responded.

As for the civil servants, it was more to prevent the emperor from letting Zhang Yifan go so easily, so they naturally wanted to go. If necessary, they would definitely find fault in the hope of punishing Zhang Yifan.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, civil and military officials were not darlings, and they were accustomed to riding back and forth quickly.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang passed down the decree and the imperial guards dispatched martial law. He led the civil and military officials in the hall to Liujia Village.

God seems to be very cooperative, it was raining originally.After Zhu Yuanzhang decided to go to Liujia Village, the rain stopped.

Of course, you still need to prepare rain gear.

After issuing the order, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhang Yifan and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Take him to the back hall to change clothes!"

Although it was not finally confirmed whether the national treasure was a national treasure or not, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhang Yifan's real intention of coming to the hall to fight with so many of his ministers was to prevent Li Shanchang from proposing marriage.Having the courage to come over and teach the officials a lesson from a certain angle made him very fond of him: This young man is indeed good!
Therefore, of course he has to show his kindness, even to his daughter, he has an explanation.

Zhang Yifan immediately thanked him, and followed the eunuch into the apse under the complicated eyes of the civil and military officials.

He didn't know it until he turned around, but as soon as he turned into the back hall, he was stunned for a moment.

He saw Zhu Jingjing, the Crown Princess, and a woman he didn't recognize in the back hall.

It turned out that when Zhang Yifan arrived at the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what was going on in the harem, so he sent an order to Zhu Jingjing and others, asking them to come to the harem to listen.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Jingjing was so obsessed with this country boy because he must have been dazzled by love. After seeing his true performance, he would not say anything ridiculous about Bicai's marriage.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifan's performance exceeded his expectations.

No, Zhu Jingjing felt very distressed when she saw Zhang Yifan, with tears in her eyes. She quickly said to Zhang Yifan: "Go and change your clothes quickly, don't get sick."
