Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

After Sun Ke finished speaking, the generals who had not been overly concerned at first suddenly became suspicious.

"You can't say that. After all, he was the one who saved Queen Ma last time." Li Shanchang gently held his beard and said calmly.

"Huh, even if this didn't happen, as the consort, he didn't even shed a single tear, which is unfilial!"

Huang Bin said with a cold snort.

"Hmph, when the queen's funeral affairs are finished, I will definitely join her!"

"Me too, such a heartless thing is not worthy of being an official in the government!"

"that is……"

The generals echoed and criticized Li Weiwei.

Li Shanchang glanced at everyone calmly, sighed lightly, and said nothing more.

After leaving the palace gate, Li Shanchang returned to his house. After arriving home, he hurriedly walked into the study and closed the door. The sad look on his face immediately disappeared.

"God's will, God's will!"

Li Shanchang had a mixed expression on his face and sighed in a low voice.

Although Empress Ma lived deep in the harem and ignored political affairs, her presence still affected the situation in the DPRK and Zhu Yuanzhang all the time.

Zhu Yuanzhang acted ruthlessly. Thanks to the queen's persuasion, he was able to restrain his impulses and be more forgiving to noble ministers.

But now that Queen Ma is gone, he may not be able to hold back his sword. From now on, they, the civil and military ministers, may become the dead souls of this heroic lord at any time.

However, this change is not all bad for Li Shanchang.

He had hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would be ruthless next time and kill a few heavyweight generals, so that he could convince these people and let them understand the principle of killing dogs and rabbits. Now that Queen Ma is gone, Zhu Yuanzhang is likely to use his Butcher's knife, his goal will be achieved.

Of course, the prerequisite for this is that the first blow cannot fall on Li Shanchang's head, otherwise he won't even have a chance to win over the nobles, and everything will be over.

Li Shanchang frowned and said nothing, carefully thinking about the changes in the situation after Queen Ma.

"The death of Queen Ma was a little strange, including the death of the emperor's grandson. Could there be someone else who had similar thoughts to me and planned these things behind her back?"

Li Shanchang walked slowly with his hands behind his back and murmured in a low voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang had doubts about these things. Naturally, he, who was well versed in political intrigues and had great achievements in the founding of the country, would not be unaware of it. However, he was in the capital, under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose, and did not dare to make any move. He could only guess at these things. .

However, this incident made him wary. He wanted to use military generals as victims, and others might not be able to do this to him.

"It seems that we have to be more cautious in our actions in the future!" Li Shanchang murmured softly, and then laughed: "But that Li Wei is going to suffer this time!"

Li Shanchang is low-key and cautious here, but Li Wei is a bit flamboyant here.

When Li Wei returned to the Ministry of Industry from the palace, Ru Taisu, Gao Xin, Wang Jie and others had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Wei enter the door, Ru Taisu came over anxiously and said, "Your Majesty passed away due to illness. Why didn't you come with me to cry outside the palace gate?"

"Official business is important!" Li Wei waved his hand and said impatiently.

"What are you talking about? As a consort, how can you act so bland?"

Li Wei sighed helplessly and said: "Grief is kept in the heart. You cry quite loudly like this. How many of you are really sad? His Highness the Crown Prince endures the grief and handles the government affairs. How can we do it for Why are these superficial efforts delaying official duties?"

When Ru Taisu heard this, he was speechless for a moment. He frowned for a moment and then said: "Although this is true, we are ministers after all, and you are the prince-in-law. How can you deal with the death of the mother of the country indifferently? You will be impeached!" "Yes, sir!"

Gao Xin, Wang Jie and others also echoed the advice.

"Just play it. Okay, you all can go back. His Majesty may not be interested in government affairs these days. If you have anything, just report it to His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Wei said softly.

When Ru Taisu and others saw that he did not listen to the advice, they couldn't help but shook their heads and said a few more words. Seeing that Li Wei remained unmoved, they had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

After everyone left, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh. Empress Ma treated him well, and he called her Queen again. How could he not be sad about her death.

But if they were crying, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, they were not their biological parents.

He has lived for more than thirty years and has never cried for anyone else. When he was a child, he always watched the funerals in the countryside. When he grew up, he rarely went back. The only funeral he attended was for a supervisor in the work unit, and he just bowed. Just paying attention.

Ask him to imitate these people's pretentious crying, but he really can't do it.

The next day, the grief-stricken Zhu Yuanzhang finally walked out of Kunning Palace. The news of the Queen's death was announced to the world. Temples near the capital rang bells with 30,000 pestles day and night. Queen Ma's body was also moved from Kunning Palace to the coffin. In Renzhi The palace was parked, and the ministers of civil and military affairs and their wives came to cry outside the palace every morning in plain clothes.

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites gave her a posthumous title, Queen Xiaoci.

After that, he chose an auspicious day and was buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Zhongshan.

After more than a month, Queen Ma was finally laid to rest, and Hongwu had no queen since then.

Queen Ma's funeral has ended, but the chaos in the court has just begun.

Several military officers and nobles, represented by Huang Bin and Sun Ke, jointly submitted a letter to impeach Li Wei for his ineffective treatment of Queen Ma and his lack of compassion when crying, which was unfaithful and unfilial.

After Huang Bin and others submitted the letter, some civil servants and some censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate also immediately followed suit, accusing Li Wei of appointing cronies and forming cliques for personal gain.

The military commander's influence was once again exerted, and for a while, Li Wei became the target of public criticism, with everyone shouting that he should be beaten.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Zhao Ben stood up again. Together with the newly appointed Minister of Justice Wang Shi, he led some civil servants to write a letter of impeachment.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Gaoxin Chen Jing and Ru Taisu, etc., a group of "Li Party" elements found Li Wei again.

"Look, I told you back then that you couldn't do this. Your Majesty values ​​filial piety. If you are so unmoved, His Majesty will definitely blame you!"

Ru Taisu was angry that he would not argue and spoke earnestly.

Gao Xin also sighed repeatedly: "Master Li, Wang Guangyang was caught by Yang Xian for being unfilial to his mother, and was punished and dismissed by His Majesty. If you do this, I'm afraid His Majesty will punish you even more."

"Yes, sir!"

"Sir, I have prepared a memorial for you. If you use this as a defense, Your Majesty will certainly be lenient."

Everyone tried to persuade him, and some even found reasons for him and wrote self-defense memorials.

Li Wei sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, I understand. I will explain it to Your Majesty. Don't waste your time here. Go back to work."

"Sir, you must not be careless about this matter!" After hearing his words, several people were still a little worried.

Li Wei waved his hand again: "Okay, I got it, you all go back!"

"Sir, please keep the memorial and remember to submit it as soon as possible!"

Several people had no choice but to resign and leave worriedly. Before leaving, several people left memorials asking him to defend himself for him to choose from. (End of chapter)
