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

Chapter 433: Throwing dirty water

He could only ask tentatively: "May I ask, Your Majesty, have you already investigated this case?"

"Is there a mastermind behind this, instructing His Highness the King of Qin to do this illegal thing that will cut off the hearts of scholars all over the world?"

Although Wei Ting's tone was full of doubts.

But he was just short of naming Lin Che as the person who bewitched Zhu Xi.

after all.

According to the information he got.

Although Lin Che was very talented, she often said some deviant words.

Zhu Ping was infected by his ideas, and it was normal for him to kill officials under impulse.

Anyway, Wei Ting has already thought about it.

The purpose of this impeachment was to confuse Zhu Yuanzhang's informants, and to deceive the Nanyang County magistrate about selling official grain.

As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang can punish Zhu Ping and the people behind him, it remains second.

And just as Wei Ting expected.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what he said, he nodded again: "As you said, King Qin did have someone's instructions for this trip."

Now, there is no need for Wei Ting to be angry.

Many courtiers who did not dare to speak freely just now began to criticize the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty, who is so bold as to dare to confuse His Highness the King of Qin? He should be punished immediately."

"Hmph! I'm afraid there are many accomplices behind this person. It won't be too late to find out who these people are before killing them."

"This move is an act of usurpation that shakes the foundation of our country, the Ming Dynasty. This person should be killed among the nine tribes."

I watched several courtiers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry criticize the so-called masterminds behind the scenes.

Zhu Yuanzhang silently wrote down the appearance of these people.

After everyone calmed down, he snorted coldly and said: "You are so brave, you actually want to kill my nine tribes."

"Ah? Why did your Majesty say this? I am waiting..."

The court officials headed by Wei Ting were shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Subconsciously, I started to defend myself.

But as soon as they started talking, they realized that they had made a serious mistake.

Wei Ting looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a pale face.

He mustered up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, you are... the magistrate of Nanyang County, and it was you who ordered His Highness the King of Qin to kill him? What is his crime?"

Only for this reason did Zhu Yuanzhang not shy away from the matter of Zhu Ping hanging the court officials.

Although I haven't received an answer from Zhu Yuanzhang yet.

Wei Ting had already fallen into endless annoyance.

He was too impatient just now and poured dirty water on Lin Che, hoping that she would suffer a little for this matter.

As a result, a moment of negligence put himself in a dilemma.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stuck with the sad-looking Wei Ting and others.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "The magistrate of Nanyang County stole and sold the grain from the official warehouse, and also blocked my policy of improving the status of the Dan people."

"If you kill him, the King of Qin is asking me for mercy."

"But you don't even know the whole story, so you are here to catch the wind and impeachment. You must be too good to be the censor."

If we go by the order of events, the matter of killing the Nanyang County Magistrate.

It was not Zhu Yuanzhang’s will at all. ,

Therefore, it is even more impossible for the King of Qin to ask him to refrain from killing.

But this did not prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from legalizing what Zhu Ping did where it was illegal.

By the way, it will enhance King Qin's reputation.

After all, his style of doing things is already known to scholars all over the world.

However, Zhu Ping has not yet decided, and he can start to accumulate a reputation as a benevolent king from now on.

"Your Majesty, I failed to find out the facts and polluted the reputation of His Majesty the King of Qin. Please punish me." Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Wei Ting directly chose to kneel down and admit defeat.

He didn't mention anything, the nonsense of 'the censor should have heard about it and reported it'.

I just honestly admitted my mistake.

Because only in this way can Zhu Yuanzhang not be disgusted and lose his official position.

"The officials who just participated in slandering the King of Qin will be fined three months' salary."

"If you do it again, don't blame me for not respecting the friendship between king and minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already discussed it with Zhu Biao and would not delve into the matter further for the time being.

So after scolding Wei Ting for a few words, he didn't mention the matter again.

The court was back on track instantly.

After dealing with several major national affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang's time is almost up.

Then he announced to the ministers: "I plan to transfer a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and let people from the Ministry of Household manage them."

"Like the gentry who responded to the 'Assist the Suppression Order', we sell iron armor and helmets for ten taels of silver each."

The courtiers sighed in shock and looked at them in disbelief.

When he and Lin Che told the price of the armor at the Confucius Temple residence.

The reactions of the people in the secret room were almost exactly the same.

All the civil and military officials of the dynasty did not believe that there could be armor worth ten taels of silver in the world.

Zhao Yu, the Minister of War, couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, the cheapest cloth armor now costs more than thirty taels."

"You have ten gentry at your head. Doesn't the court have to pay for it?"

In fact, what Zhao Yu really wants to ask is what to do if the gentry becomes dissatisfied with the king's behavior after they have armor.

However, this is only suitable to be asked in private.

If asked openly, they would inevitably become the common enemy of the gentry who responded to the "Suppression Order".

Zhu Xiang seemed not to have considered this issue.

Still smiling, he said: "My dear, you can rest assured, I got a blueprint for a new type of armor yesterday."

"Its cost is around ten taels. It can protect the safety of the gentry's children without causing the court to lose money."

However, except for a few important court officials who knew about it, almost no court officials believed that such cheap and usable iron armor existed in the world.

But this also prevented them from worrying that after the gentry had armor, they would do illegal things in the countryside.

After arranging the establishment of the new manufacturing facility.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the ministers again and said: "Yesterday I heard that some gentry were willing to help suppress Bei Yuan, but they missed the opportunity to serve the country because they could not buy war horses."

"I can't bear to let down the good intentions of loyal people, so I plan to purchase war horses from the tribes in Mobei."

"I don't know if any dear friend is willing to go to the grassland for me to discuss procurement matters with Oara and Tatar."

If Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he would sell armor for ten taels of silver to the gentry, the ministers would be able to imagine his purpose for doing so.

Even if you think wrong, you can at least get an answer.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang said that because the imperial court did not have enough war horses to provide for the loyal people who destroyed Bei Yuan, so it was necessary to purchase war horses from the remnants of Bei Yuan, many courtiers became a little crazy.

I can't understand at all what state Zhu Yuanzhang is in.

He said this plan to treat Bei Yuan as a fool.

The courtiers, who didn't know why, were worried that what they just said was a slip of the tongue by Zhu Yuanzhang.

No one dared to refute his mistake.

For fear of being thrown to Beiyuan by His Majesty to buy horses.

The court fell into awkward silence again.

Zhu Yuanzhang also realized that what he just said was not clearly stated, which caused misunderstanding among the ministers in the DPRK!
