Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

In the side hall of the Ministry of Industry, Li Wei was sitting at the top. Wang Jie, Shen Jie, and Sun Jian, who had been convinced by him, gathered here, flattering and flattering, while talking about the current situation in the court.

"Your Majesty is so resourceful and resourceful. With a little trick, he put this blue jade in jail. I admire you!"

Sun Jian had a flattering smile on his face and praised respectfully.

"Not really!" Li Wei said to himself with a deadpan expression.

"How could it be a trick? Your Excellency cannot stand Lan Yu's illegal behavior, so he just stood up and spoke up. I say, these proud soldiers should have been punished long ago!"

Shen Jie quickly corrected him.

Sun Jian's face froze, and he rolled his eyes at him in displeasure, and then he said: "Yes, you are an upright man, and everything you do is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. You are truly a role model for us!"

The two of them said something to each other, and Li Wei rolled his eyes.

Outside the door, Wu Yong and Tuo Huochi led some guards to stand guard. Tuo Huochi listened to the flattery of the two people in the room, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis, feeling that his loyal position in front of Li Wei was threatened.

Wang Jie behaved quite normally. When the two of them were at a loss for words, he intervened: "Sir, these Huaixi nobles are in the same spirit. Sir, you must not take it lightly. This time Lan Yu is imprisoned, these nobles will definitely show their support." Even if you save me, I guess Your Majesty will not really do anything to Lan Yu! On the contrary, Sir, you need to be careful about the counterattack of these nobles!"

When Li Wei heard this, he frowned immediately. After his confrontation with Lan Yu two days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang told him that Lan Yu could not be touched for the time being. Although Lan Yu was imprisoned now, he might still end up like Wang Jie said, Sapphire will be fine.

"Do your best, and you will continue to impeach in the next two days!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will understand later!"

Wang Jie immediately agreed, and Sun Jian and Shen Jie also said yes.

Li Wei is discussing impeachment here, and the nobles on the other side are also gathered together.

Xie Cheng glanced at the crowd, frowned slightly and said, "None of the princes are here?"

Today, a few of them gathered together to discuss how to rescue Lan Yu. However, the only one who came was an unreliable guy like Chang Mao. Several other people did not come. Fu Youde, the Duke of Guangdong, didn't come either.

Chang Mao is the eldest son of Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun died early and he became the Duke of the country early. However, he is incomparable to his father. Although his abilities are not even close, his temper and character are as arrogant and reckless as these generals. , even more so.

"Don't worry about them. The older people get, the more timid and fearful they become. Hmph! Let's discuss our issues."

Chang Mao snorted coldly.

Everyone present looked at each other in shock. Although they were all arrogant, they were still very convinced of these princes who fought all the way. They had never spoken rudely like Chang Mao.

"Forget it, just Li Wei is not worthy of the participation of several princes, let's just make the decision ourselves."

Wang Bi said softly.

Although he and Xie Cheng were both newly crowned marquises in the twelfth year of Hongwu, their daughters were both crowned princesses and married to Zhu Yuanzhang's third son Zhu Xi and sixth son Zhu Zhen respectively, which means they are both Zhu Yuanzhang's in-laws, so their status among the princes is relatively high.

The ancestral precept left by Zhu Yuanzhang forbids future emperors from marrying the daughters of powerful men. However, now all his sons marry the daughters of noble men. This shows that he had to consolidate the imperial power through marriage at first until the kings grew up. , replacing Xunqi.

In addition to Wang Bi and the other three, there were many other generals such as Sun Ke, Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and so on.

"The Marquis of Yongchang is also unlucky this time. He has such a reckless clan brother who even dares to beat the inspection censor sent by His Majesty!" Sun Ke shook his head and sighed.

"Humph, I heard someone said that the censor was sent to the palace by Li's consort. If there is nothing fishy about it, I don't believe it!"

Zhang Zheng, who once served as Lan Yu's general, said that his words were also the thoughts of many people present.

"Bah, we fought hard to get where we are now. Who is he? He dares to compare with us!" Chang Mao said angrily. “That’s right, who is he?”

As soon as Chang Mao spoke, many generals also became excited.

They have always felt that civil servants were taking advantage of them by just talking.

That was it when Hu Weiyong was in charge of the government. After all, Hu Weiyong was also from Huaixi and had a good relationship with them. However, after Hu Weiyong died, Li Wei with unknown origins appeared. They had not taken him seriously before. But since the incident of giving the banquet to Zheng Gen, they have become more and more aware that this person is an eyesore, and now they have directly sent one of them, the Marquis, to prison. How can they tolerate this? They must get rid of him!

Xie Cheng's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Li Wei is the consort after all. We still have to give him some face. Let's discuss how to rescue Lan Yu."

When everyone heard this, they felt displeased, but they also shut up angrily.

The reason why they wanted to save Lan Yu was because of the sadness of the rabbit. The last time Zhu Liangzu was beaten to death by the court, they felt wary. Now that Lan Yu had just come back and was imprisoned again, they had to think more.

"Actually, it was Lan Yun who acted recklessly this time. Lan Yu doesn't know it. Let's seize this point and plead for him. I think His Majesty will give him a lighter sentence for the sake of his past merits."

Wang Bi spoke.

"What Marquis Dingyuan said is true. When I get back, I will find someone to write a memorial and submit it to His Majesty!"

"I'll write it too, no, I'll find someone to write it too!"

Everyone responded one after another.

These people are usually indifferent to government affairs, but now they need to be reasonable and can only find others to write for them.

However, they were all dignitaries, and people like Xie Cheng, Wang Bi and others all had their own teachers in their houses, who could teach their children and grandchildren, and also be used for emergencies when needed.

After everyone discussed it, they took action.

Within two days, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case was filled with memorials from both parties.

Compared with the high-ranking and high-ranking generals, Li Wei's side is full of low-ranking officials. Xue Xiang and Ru Taisu are more important, followed by Han Yike and other royal officials. History.

Although the generals are powerful, the emperor is sidetracked!

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Wang Ben and others in the cabinet to separate all these memorials and throw them aside. There was no point in reading them anyway, so he just let them argue. He took this opportunity to see clearly the attitudes of these people.

Whether it was the flattery of Sun Jian, Shen Jie and others from Li Wei's side, or the complaints and curses from Xungui, they were all handed to him in the form of notes written by his ubiquitous eyeliner at the first opportunity.

A few days later, the envoys sent by Zhu Yuanzhang were ordered to escort Lan Yun back to Beijing. After Mao Xiang's rigorous interrogation, Zhu Yuanzhang also learned the details of the incident.

That Lan Yun had indeed invaded people's fields, and when he was discovered by Dao Tong during his inspection, he did order people to drive Dao Tong away in order to cover up his crime.

As for the beating of the censor, it was entirely because the dog was more ferocious than its owner. Lan Yun asked them to drive it away. The slave was used to being arrogant and started to attack. Although he saw it and stopped him, Daotong had already been beaten several times.

As for Lan Yu, she was indeed unaware of it, and it was a sudden disaster.

After finding out the whole story, Zhu Yuanzhang showed no mercy and directly ordered Lan Yun to be beheaded. As for Lan Yu, even though he didn't know about it, he still had all the rewards from the Northern Expedition taken back and was punished with a cane.

Although the incident has come to an end, the impact has not dissipated.

The confrontation between Li Wei and Xungui became more serious than before, and because he took advantage this time, the civil-military argument was a rare victory for civil servants. Except for a few people such as Zhao Ben, the attitude of the other civil servants remained the same. The relationship has eased a lot.

Of course, not everyone among the nobles was hostile to him. For example, Xu Da and other princes gave him a cold look, and Mu Ying had a pretty good relationship with him. (End of chapter)
