Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 182 Liu Sanwu: All scholars who collude with Japanese slaves should be killed!

"Heavy eight!"

"Just you? Are you still drinking with your husband?"

"You don't know what your drinking capacity is!"

"I see you, don't embarrass yourself in front of Mr. Lin, lest something happens again!"

Originally, Empress Ma wanted to come over and refill Zhu Yuanzhang's tea, but when he said this, she lost interest.

Queen Ma put the tea cup back on the table with a look of disgust on her face:

"It doesn't matter if you embarrass yourself, you are thick-skinned anyway... but if your children are also embarrassed along with you."

"When you come back, I won't be done with you!"

Say it.

Queen Ma left without looking back.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked innocent:
"Sister, you have something to say..."

……

Had lunch.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of Qianqing Palace and walked into the Imperial Garden unknowingly.

Suddenly I thought of the sweet potato seedlings I planted in the Royal Garden.

He turned around and told the eunuch Liu He who was following him:
"Send me a message to the great scholar Liu Sanwu. I'll see you in the Royal Garden."

Liu He said "hey" and left in a hurry.

About half an hour.

Liu Sanwu followed the eunuch Liu He into the imperial garden in a hurry.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang squatting alone in front of a newly opened field, watching with relish.

Seeing Liu Sanwu approaching, he stretched out his hand to say hello:

"Liu Aiqing, guess what kind of treasures these are?"

Liu Sanwu had heard from Zhu Yuanzhang before that there was a sweet potato that could produce several thousand kilograms per acre, but when he saw several weed-like plants in front of him.

He asked in shock:

"Your Majesty, could this be the sweet potato you said yields thousands of kilograms per acre? Isn't this true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly when he heard the words:
"Liu Aiqing, do you think that I will joke with you, a great scholar, about people's livelihood issues? This is the overseas breeding we found according to the picture drawn by Mr. Lin!"

Hearing this, Liu Sanwu felt as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

He bent down and looked at the sweet potato seedlings in the experimental field, which he had just regarded as weeds.

Liu Sanwu said in an excited tone:

"Since Mr. Lin said that this product has a high yield, he must be right!"

"Then, Your Majesty, can you reward me with some seedlings? I would like to..."

"I only have nine seedlings left here, how can I give them to you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Liu Sanwu a chance to finish his words.

But after he flatly refused, he added to Liu Sanwu, who looked disappointed:

"However, the cultivation of this thing will be left to Liu Aiqing's management from now on."

"Please be careful, dear, and don't let them wither."

When Liu Sanwu heard this, he could not believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Cultivate this kind of good seed that can feed all the people in the world.

It will definitely be praised by future generations.

It is the right thing to erect temple statues and enjoy the incense of all people.

It will also be praised highly in the history books.

He will also become the civil servant with the greatest contribution to the Hongwu Dynasty.

When future generations think of the Hongwu Dynasty, they will definitely remember a great scholar named Liu Sanwu and the Minister of Rites.

So many benefits.

This made Liu Sanwu's heart palpitate, and he wanted to agree on the spot.

However, he has been an official for many years and knows that no merit in officialdom is in vain.

Gain the opportunity to be praised by all peoples and descendants for all generations.

You must pay an unimaginable price.

Liu Sanwu pinched his thigh to force himself to wake up from his excitement.

He pretended to decline:

"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister with poor moral character and cannot bear this important responsibility. Please find another good minister to avoid..." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Directly interrupting Liu Sanwu's hypocritical refusal.

"Fu Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What civil servants can do what you can't do."

"Furthermore, I don't like to make things easier for others by doing things that will last forever."

"If you really don't want to do it, then I will take the credit for all the people!"

Liu Sanwu listened to Zhu Yuanzhang with a tone of 'you must do it'.

Subconsciously I wanted to agree.

But the more Zhu Yuanzhang behaved like this, the clearer Liu Sanwu was that he wanted to get this opportunity to be famous forever.

The price paid must be unimaginable!

However, what normal civil servant doesn’t want his name to be spread throughout the ages for future generations to admire?
Liu Sanwu pondered for a moment with tangled eyes...

He finally gritted his teeth and said straight to the point:
"May I ask Your Majesty, if I accept this job, will I do anything else?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, he liked to interact with smart people.

Then he nodded and said bluntly:
"Among the Japanese pirates that Hu Yunqiang defeated the day before yesterday, there was a scholar from the Ming Dynasty who was working for them."

"Mao Xiang has already asked something from his mouth."

"I hope that when I take action in the future, you can cooperate with me to clean up these inhuman beasts1"

Liu Sanwu's face instantly became very ugly.

He was originally puzzled by the fact that the Japanese pirates were able to bypass the defense lines along the way and appear in the hinterland of Yingtian.

However, this is a military matter.

His Majesty had no intention of leaving it to the court, and it was not easy for him to ask further questions.

Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind this incident actually involved scholars from the Ming Dynasty.

This means that this matter is caused by some conspirators who are dissatisfied with His Majesty.

Incapable of using political means to confront the current Holy Emperor.

So he took the blood of ordinary people and staged a farce on his own.

Liu Sanwu knew very well that these people allowed Japanese pirates to enter Yingtian.

In fact, I didn't expect those two thousand Japanese slaves to accomplish anything big.

I just want to disgust Zhu Yuanzhang.

Didn’t Zhu Yuanzhang think that he could surpass the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty in both civil and martial arts?
But during the reign of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, when were foreigners attacking his capital?

Both are scholars.

Liu Sanwu knows it very well. He writes about people who read and read into the belly of a dog.

The reason why the Japanese pirates came.

Liu Sanwu gritted his teeth and knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, am I someone who is greedy for fame?"

"If your Majesty needs it, I can make it clear when I take action against those scum of the Ming Dynasty."

"Even if I am infamy for this, I will let those beasts accompany the innocent people of Ming Dynasty who died innocently."

For a traditional civil servant like Liu Sanwu.

Problems in the court should be solved using court methods.

This is true even when facing His Majesty.

This is the bottom line that we, as ministers, must follow.

But if you use off-board moves, it will destroy the tacit understanding between emperor and ministers that has existed for thousands of years.

This kind of behavior is destroying one's own job.

It can be said that Liu Sanwu hated him deeply and wished he could go to jail again!
"My dear, please don't get angry because of those scum, lest you become angry and ruin your body."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was more angry than Liu Sanwu, on the surface he still looked calm and said:

"The implications of this matter are very wide. If it is done with thunderous means, I am afraid it will be like the Kongyin case and the Yangzhou fraud case, involving tens of thousands of people."

"So I plan to investigate it slowly and find out as much as possible about the officials and gentry involved in this matter, so as to avoid unjustly accusing good people."

If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn’t listened to Lin Che’s lecture before.

Who cares whether the people involved in this case are innocent or not?

Such a beast who dared to use extravagant tactics against Emperor Hongwu and also used the common people as victims.

Zhu Yuanzhang will kill as many as there are!
