Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 133 Fight to the Death

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a booklet and looking through Li Wei's surveillance records, which Mao Xiang had submitted a few days ago.

Seeing the scene where Li Wei had a nosebleed, he couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "It's really worthless!"

I also saw that Li Wei was stunned and didn't mess around in the Jiaofang Division, so I reluctantly gave him a passing grade.

After reading the pamphlet, he picked up a piece of paper from the side. The delicate handwriting on it only contained a few small words "Healthy and free of disease", which basically meant that the person was in good health and had nothing wrong with him.

"Hmph, you are so cheap, you piece of shit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put away the note, snorted and muttered.

……

In the Jiaofang Department, Li Wei sat alone under the stage, watching the little girls above jumping around and happily performing new shows.

However, the stage was lively and lively, but the audience was deserted. Apart from him, there was not even a single guest. Jiaofangsi could only describe it as a deserted place.

He was too noisy when he went to ask for debts, and the officials were afraid of him and simply stopped coming. They would rather go to the prostitute secretly than come to his place to listen to music.

Li Wei had nothing to do about this. He had made a mistake before and did not take the issue of customer sources into consideration.

Xu Yao stood beside him and waited on him. Unlike Li Wei who was helpless, they, the female musicians, were not too worried about the source of customers. Even if these officials did not come, they could still live their lives. After all, those white musicians before The prostitute never gave me any money.

Now that there are no officials to harass them, they can still be at peace and just have to serve their own adults.

In addition to collecting money from officials, the Jiaofangsi's biggest income comes from dance and music for various celebrations and sacrifices in the outer court. Although there is a Bell and Drum Division in the palace and Taichang Temple in the outer court, there are still relatively few people in these places. , various performances mainly rely on Jiaofangsi.

Li Wei thought about it carefully and realized that the Chinese New Year would be coming in two months. He had no choice but to wait for the year-end banquet to make a big splash.

As for sacrifices and the like, Jiaofangsi could only listen to the instructions of the people from Taichang Temple and perform group dances according to the process, and there was no room for performance at all.Only at the year-end banquet are there entertainment performances.

After making the decision, Li Wei began to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala, and then let the country bumpkins in the court see the splendor of the new century!
……

While Li Wei was listening to the music and thinking about preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, a group of people who had traveled a lot were welcomed outside the Zhengyang Gate of the capital.

Among them was a middle-aged man, luxuriously dressed, tall and powerful.

Under the two thick eyebrows, his eyes were fierce, and there was an intimidating and ferocious look in his eyes.

This man is none other than the fierce general Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to recall from Guangdong, Zhu Liangzu!
Zhu Liangzu was once a general of the Yuan Dynasty. After being conquered by Zhu Yuanzhang, he fought extensively throughout his life and made countless meritorious deeds.

This is a true warrior, and he has often been injured at his hands.

Next to him were several officials, including the two envoys sent by Zhu Yuanzhang and the Panyu magistrate who almost died this time.

Compared to Zhu Liangzu's might, Dao Tong seemed too thin, but even so, Dao Tong was not afraid at all and glared at Zhu Liangzu.

"Master Marquis, please, Your Majesty is still waiting."

One of the officials spoke to Zhu Liangzu.

When Zhu Liangzu heard this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. This time he was bold enough to deceive Zhu Yuanzhang. He was eventually exposed and recalled to the capital. It seemed that he would inevitably be severely punished this time.

However, he was not too afraid. As a founding hero, he didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang would do anything to him for this matter, not to mention that he had an iron ticket to avoid death!

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Liangzu walked through the capital of the Ming Dynasty at a fast pace.

Pass Zhengyang Gate, enter Hongwu Gate, and walk on the Thousand-Step Corridor. On both sides are the Sixth Ministry and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and his ministers had not yet left the court, but now in addition to these civil and military ministers, there were two teams of personal guards standing on the side, holding leather whips in their hands.

In addition to these people, there is also a special person, that is Zhu Liangzu's son, Zhu Xian, the commander of the imperial army.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Xian's role as the commander in the capital was also a disguised proton.

All the ministers already know about Zhu Liangzu's arrival in Beijing today, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who is now waiting to teach Zhu Liangzu a lesson.

"Your Majesty, Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu and Panyu County Magistrate Daotong are waiting outside the palace!" The young eunuch came in to report.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting high on the throne. When he heard this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. He had suppressed his anger for more than a month. This bastard finally arrived!
"Let him get out of here!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily.

"According to the order!"

The little eunuch followed the order and exited the hall.

After a while, Zhu Liangzu walked in with Daotong and the two officials.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone paid homage and saluted, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the others and shouted loudly: "You step aside first, Zhu Liangzu, let me ask you, is it true that he is a corrupt person who loves bribery and protects powerful people?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Dao Tong and others did not dare to say anything. They all said yes and stepped aside.

Zhu Liangzu was kneeling alone in the hall. Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, he did not dare to lie any more and said calmly: "It's true. I know my guilt!"

"What about the things you reported to impeach Tong Dao?"

When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he lowered his head and continued to admit helplessly: "It is a false accusation."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, Long Yan was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at him and shouted: "You are so brave, you dare to deceive us, you are deceiving the emperor! Do you really think that we dare not kill you? ?”

Facing the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Liangzu was slightly shocked and said quickly: "I know my mistake, please forgive me this time!"

"Forgive you this time? How many times have we forgiven you? You bastard, I warned you time and time again, did you listen? Now you are even more powerful, you dare to deceive us like this!"

Zhu Liangzu was not happy when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding. He rubbed his neck and said, "I have fought all my life just to enjoy some wealth. Your Majesty won't give it to me, so I have to get it myself!"

"What? Did everything we said to you before be in vain?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened angrily.

"I haven't forgotten it, but I don't want to live in poverty anymore!"

"You, you are so angry with us, you guys, beat us, beat us hard!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he waved his hands vigorously, instructing the guards to take action.

When the guards heard the order, they immediately turned around and whipped Zhu Liangzu hard with their whips.

Zhu Liangzu was a ruthless man, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

But his son couldn't stand it. As a son of man, how could he watch his father being severely punished and remain indifferent.

Zhu Xian immediately stood up and knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, although my father made mistakes, he is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. Please have mercy on Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and ignored him. Seeing that his plea was useless, Zhu Liangzu had been beaten with bloodstains all over his body, and he hurriedly climbed forward to block his father's side.

Zhu Liangzu, who was already erect, was shocked when he saw this situation. Seeing that a whip was about to hit his son, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the guard's hand.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately became even colder, and he said gloomily: "You still dare to resist, do you want to rebel?"

Zhu Liangzu's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, and he hurriedly let go of the guard's hand.

"I don't dare. I only do things for myself. Please don't punish the dog!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved, stared at Zhu Liangzu, and said coldly: "Beat him too! Beat him to death!!"

"Yes!"

The guards shouted together, and then included Zhu Xian in the whipping range.

Zhu Xian was not as tough as his father. He screamed as soon as the whip fell on him.

When Zhu Liangzu saw this situation, he suddenly became frightened. Even if the whip fell on him, he did not dare to resist. Instead, he repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang watched coldly as the father and son were surrounded by guards, their skin and flesh torn apart by the beatings, without saying a word.

　It's a little late, I finally coded it out, sorry.
