Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 202: The ministers were impeached, and the king of Dian should be punished

Outside the palace gate, Zhu Zhen originally held Zuo Du Yushi and a clerk from the Du Procuratorate and whipped them.

But at this time, he was stopped by Huang Zicheng.

"You beat the imperial officials like this for no reason, which will not only chill the hearts of all the officials, but when they appear in front of His Majesty, they will even take a copy of your book," Huang Zicheng shouted.

Those righteous words and awe-inspiring look made Zhu Chen feel sick for a while.

Why is it so cheap?
It's obvious that he didn't provoke anyone, so why did he bother himself?
wanna die?

Zhu Chu really wanted to ask Huang Zicheng, aren't you afraid of killing the Nine Tribes?
But what if Huang Zicheng said that he had the ability to kill the ten tribes? What should he do?
Wait, is he the one who killed the Shi clan?

(Actually, it’s Fang Xiaoru)
At this moment, the gate of the palace suddenly opened, and a group of eunuchs came to inform the officials that His Majesty was up, and the officials could go to the concierge to wait for a while.

To put it bluntly, the officials are asked to take a rest, those who need to go to the toilet, those who need to drink some water, and those who are capable can bring in some food and drink from home.

When everything is ready, that is, when Zhu Yuanzhang is ready, it is time to officially go to the morning court.

"Ah? Mr. Zuodu Censor, why are you lying on the ground? The ground is cold, please get up quickly." The leading eunuch quickly came up and helped Zuodu Censor up.

The Zuodu Censor had never experienced such torture. After getting up, he gritted his teeth and said, "I must go to His Majesty to take a copy of it later."

Zhu Chu curled his lips and tied the jade belt in his hand.

"See His Highness the King of Dian, who is a thousand years old and a thousand years old. You blind people, haven't you seen His Highness here? Why don't you say hello?" The eunuch suddenly turned to Zhu Chu and cursed in a strange way. I don’t know who I’m talking to.

The civil and military officials looked at each other in disbelief.

Are you talking about them?Isn't it?Yeah?
The little eunuchs, under the scolding of the big eunuch, knelt down in fear and shouted a thousand years ago.

Zhu Ming glanced at the officials, then raised his hands and said in a weak tone: "No need to be polite, just get up."

The eunuchs then thanked him and stood up.

The faces of Zuodu Yushi and Huang Zicheng turned blue and white.

They suddenly realized that Zhu Zhen was the prince, and not only did they not say hello, but they made all kinds of accusations as soon as they came up. It seemed that it was not too much to say that he was guilty of rebellion?
So if I go to His Majesty's place to participate in the concert, are they really justified?
All the officials walked towards the palace with their own thoughts.

Zhu Ming was about to go in, but he was stopped by the eunuch: "His Royal Highness, King Dian, please come this way, there is an honored guest who wants to see you."

"Oh?" Zhu Zhen was stunned.

Honorable guests?Based on his status, the only people who can be called distinguished guests are probably the royal family.

Could it be another feudal lord?Or those princes who did not become feudal lords?

By the way, he also has a younger brother, a younger brother from the same mother. Remember his name is Zhu Song?It seems that he was also granted the title of King of Korea, which was the new title given to him after Lee Shan-chang's original title of King of Korea was abolished.

Zhu Ming was thinking wildly as he followed the eunuch to the other side of the palace, and then he saw a person standing there.

It must be a person, can it be something other than a person?

Zhu Zhen secretly felt funny at his own thoughts.

Then his heart moved, and he saw this man wearing bright yellow clothes, although it also had a python pattern, that is, a four-clawed python robe, not a five-clawed golden dragon, which was a dragon robe that only the emperor could wear.

But Zhu Zhen also guessed the identity of this person.

"Is the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunzhen?" Zhu Zhen revealed the identity of this so-called honored guest with a smile.

It turns out that he is Zhu Yunwen.

"I've met Uncle Eighteen," Zhu Yunwen was quite polite, and he clasped his fists at Zhu Min and saluted.

Although it is polite, it is not completely polite.

Because Zhu Yunwen just bowed his hand and didn't even bow his head, those who didn't know thought he was an acquaintance of the same generation.

Zhu Ming was secretly amused. This Zhu Yunwen was really arrogant and arrogant.

But yes, if Zhu Xiongying hadn't died, it would never have been his turn to be the emperor's grandson.

It is estimated that even now, some people will say that Zhu Yunxi is the real legitimate son, right?

What's more, Zhu Yunwen also bypassed his imperial uncles. The second, third, fourth and fifth were all Zhu Yuanzhang's legitimate sons, but he didn't establish any of them, instead he established this eldest grandson.

Good royal grandson?Good saint grandson?
"Uncle Eighteen, I was in the palace gate earlier and heard the commotion outside. I feel that although you are the king of Dian, you should not be so crazy. Instead, you should be polite to the virtuous and corporal and pay attention to the advice of the officials," Zhu Yunwen said And talk about it.

"Did you hear it inside the palace gate?" Zhu Zhen interrupted Zhu Yunwen and asked.

Zhu Yunwen nodded.

"Then you don't come out to stop it? Are you just hiding behind the door and watching the joke? Are you watching my joke? Or are you watching my joke about beating those people?" Zhu Ming asked again.

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was not his decision whether to open the palace door or not.

But he always felt unable to refute. After all, he was the emperor's grandson, equivalent to the position of the previous prince Zhu Biao.

What would Prince Zhu Biao do if he were replaced?

It must have been to open the palace door and come out to dissuade and persuade Zhu Zhen as his younger brother, instead of coming here to talk about these meaningless words afterwards.

"Besides, I'm also your uncle Wang, and you're not the emperor yet, so you're going to teach me this?" Zhu Chu said with a playful smile.

Nephew, are you a little too anxious?
"There is no lesson, Uncle Eighteen, I am," Zhu Yunwen wanted to explain.

Zhu Ming raised his hand and interrupted: "Come on, eldest nephew, if this king really goes to get close to those officials, then you will have a headache and suspicion, and then my father, your grandpa, will also You have to whip me. Stop making trouble, I am just a vassal king, and I want to get close to all the civil and military officials? I don’t want to die yet."

Just kidding?Zhu Yuanzhang explicitly prohibited court officials from walking around with the vassal princes. Don’t you know?

Besides, are you really not afraid?To be honest, are you afraid?
Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Originally, he felt that it was inappropriate for Zhu Zhen to behave so wildly before the morning court just one day after his return.

But after Zhu Ming said this, Zhu Yunwen fell silent.

He is the emperor's grandson, the heir to the throne who has been personally canonized and recognized by the emperor's grandfather. He is the future Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he is the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Ji really shouldn't be allowed to please the civil and military officials.

Thinking of this, when Zhu Yunwen raised his head again, his expression became much gentler, and he said in a spring breeze: "Uncle Eighteenth, this is your first time going to court, right? Let Yunwen take you to the court."

Zhu Ming laughed secretly and said, nephew, you are too anxious. You only worry about the civil and military officials, why don't you think about how to please me?

Even your grandpa is now suspicious of your eighteenth uncle, and he has to worry that your eighteenth uncle will rebel if I kick him in the nest.

You are really generous.

Can't you learn to be more like that?And then win over me?
Your second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle are not easy to save money. There are ten vassal kings outside, not even counting me, there are nine vassal kings surrounding you Yingtian.

What will you do then?
Zhu Ming suddenly remembered Muchun's original comments about Zhu Yunwen.

Not like a human being.

That's why Muchun quickly escaped from Yingtian, a place of right and wrong.

It's a pity that Zhu Ming wanted to escape, but couldn't escape.

I hope that after going to court, Lao Zhu will let him go because he didn't run away when he was whipped yesterday.

In this way, Zhu Yuhuai followed Zhu Yunwen to the court with an almost impossible fantasy.

All civil and military officials are ready. They are divided into two queues: civil officials and military generals, and their positions have been arranged.

After Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Zhen entered the lobby, Zhu Yunwen naturally walked to the forefront of the civil servants.

Zhu Zhen, on the other hand, turned around and went to the generals' queue without hesitation.

The generals looked at each other in confusion, and realized that the person Zhu Chu was standing on was none other than Xu Da, who was in the first place in the past. They hesitated whether to remind him.

But when I thought about the good news Zhu Chu sent back, and even the unparalleled achievements in many battles, I began to feel that he was very qualified for his job.

Some of them approached Zhu Ming and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are all your achievements true?"

"What's the matter? Don't you believe me?" Zhu Zhen turned around and asked.

Those people were shocked and quickly wanted to explain.

But I heard Zhu Ming say: "If there is a chance in the future, I will personally lead you into battle to kill the enemy. Then I will let you see how powerful I am."

The military generals looked at each other and found that Zhu Zhen's confident and straightforward temperament was very typical of military generals, and there was no pretense at all. They felt like a spring breeze in their hearts.

Zhu Ming looked to the other side and suddenly said: "Oh, eldest nephew, why are you here?"

"Did Uncle Eighteen call me?" Zhu Yunwen asked in shock.

"It's not you," Zhu Ming didn't even look at Zhu Yunwen. He pointed his finger at Li Jinglong, who had his head locked, and said, "Boy, don't you know how to call someone?"

Li Jinglong reluctantly muttered: "Hello, Uncle Wang."

After all, Li Jinglong's father is Li Wenzhong, so of course he is also standing in the queue of military commanders.I just thought I was hiding away without being discovered by Zhu Chu, but now I was caught by Zhu Chu, not to mention how aggrieved I was.

Li Jinglong wanted to turn around and go home, but he didn't dare. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang loved and protected him, he couldn't let him act like this, right?

Fortunately, at this time, the Huangmen Minister shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has come to court, and all the officials will kneel to greet you."

Huangmen Shilang refers to the eunuch.

Following this shout, all the civil and military officials in the palace immediately fell to their knees.

Then I heard the Huangmen Minister shouting: "Shanhu."

"Long live."

"Mountain call."

"Long live."

"Zaishanhu."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

The whole process is smooth and smooth, and because of the guidance of Huangmen Shilang, there will be no unevenness, but uniformity.

But for some reason, Zhu Min suddenly remembered a scene in his mind. When he was in elementary school, the class monitor would shout "stand up, salute, sit down" in the first class in the morning. '

Look like?Just ask you if you look like it.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know Zhu Ming's random thoughts. He glanced at him kneeling there. After the ministers finished shouting, he said calmly: "Everyone loves you."

The officials thanked the emperor for his kindness and then stood up.

"Huh?" Zhu Xi suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that he found that there was someone around him at some point.

It was Xu Da.

"Uncle Xu, did it grow out of the ground?" Zhu Zhen exclaimed.

Xu Da said angrily: "Your Highness, you are standing in our seat, how about you go to the other side?"

Zhu Ming shook his head: "I am a vassal king who guards the borders and defends the country. I am only responsible for protecting the country and leading troops to fight and expand the territory. I will not go if I ignore government affairs or local politics."

With a smile in his eyes, Xu Da didn't ask him to give up his position, but just stood there.

It turned out that Xu Da was left in the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang last night. The two brothers drank a little too much and took a rest.

The main reason was that it was too early in the morning, and if Xu Da was asked to go back and forth, he would be exhausted sooner or later.

"Zhu Ming, what are you yelling about there?" Zhu Yuanzhang kept staring at Zhu Ming from above. After they finished speaking, he said: "This is above the court. If anything happens, report it. If nothing happens, don't yell. You Think it’s in your fiefdom?”

Zhu Ming lowered his head and pouted. Do you think he wants to come?

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

Zhu Chen really wanted to shout "Mighty", but no, he really wanted to shout "Long Live" and go home to sleep.

But the question is, do you think everyone got up so early to come here to meet the emperor and then go back?

Where's the eagle?
Are they teasing Your Majesty?Or is His Majesty trying to make them suffer?Hurt each other?

So the regular meeting of the court began.

The generals' side is relatively quiet, but the civil servants' side is busy with a lot of things.

For example, due to the differences between the north and the south, the north has only one season a year, while the south has completed the first quarter's harvest and started preparing for the second season of farming.

There are also some city affairs and all kinds of messy things.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister system, before Zhu Di created the cabinet system, he was solely responsible for everything.

Although the imperial power is highly centralized, at the same time, it is also really tiring.

Zhu Chu was already yawning on the side.

The main reason is that these have nothing to do with him, and he will start to doubt what he is doing here, and who is he?Why is he here?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked secretly amused, and suddenly raised his hand to stop the civil servants from playing, looked at Zhu Chu, and said: "Zhu Chu, let's talk about your situation in Yunnan first."

After all, he was called back to Beijing to report on his duties, so he should always ask.

Zhu Yu didn't react at first. It wasn't until he was reminded by Xu Da that he noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little dark.

"Father, what did you say?" Zhu Zhen really didn't hear it and had long since wandered into space.

"Your Majesty asked you about the situation in Yunnan," Xu Da reminded anxiously.

This brat will kill himself sooner or later.

But who made His Majesty make up his mind to let his daughter marry him? It is really an unreasonable request.

And to be honest, Xu Da was a little unhappy because he had just learned that Zhu Min had a woman he liked in Yunnan, and he was afraid that his daughter would be left out in the cold after she went there.

Unfortunately, he couldn't refuse, so he could only glare at Zhu Ming, meaning you better be more honest.

Zhu Ming blinked and thought to himself, didn’t he always write memorials?But I can only say honestly: "I'm telling my father, in the 24th year of Hongwu, Silun rebelled against Shang. In November, he was annihilated by the joint efforts of Erchen and Xiping Hou Muying. All the chieftains, including the chief culprit, were executed. .”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming speechlessly, what you are talking about are all from the old almanac, can I not know?What I want you to talk about is what else happened recently.

The two father and son stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Suddenly, Huang Zicheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, stood up and shouted: "I think it is inappropriate to report to Your Majesty. That Silunfa is the Propaganda Envoy of the Imperial Court who was personally conferred by Your Majesty. His Royal Highness the King of Dian should escort him to Beijing, and Your Highness will make a decision after interrogating you face to face, how dare you kill him on the spot?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Dian King's move is suspected of ignoring the court's laws and overstepping the bounds of the law," several others also agreed.

"I also have this report," Qi Tai also stood up and said: "I have been cultivated by your Majesty and am now the left minister of the Ministry of War. And the commander of the Golden Teeth Guard, Si Hu Yuan, should have belonged to the Ministry of War. No matter what mistakes he committed, he should also It will be handed over to the Ministry of War for review and judgment, and then His Majesty will make the decision himself. May I ask His Highness the King of Dian, what virtues and abilities do you have, how dare you deal with it privately, and even kill the entire Hu Yuan family?"

Zhu Ming looked at those people and understood in his heart that these were all the Taisun Party and the camp of Emperor Taisun Zhu Yunwen.

But what Zhu Zhu doesn’t understand is why they are so aggressive?Do you know that you will rebel in the future?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, also spoke and said, "Zhu Yu, what do you have to say?"

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming, feeling proud in his heart, now you know how powerful you are, right?If you are asked to act recklessly, tell me what you did.

"That's not all, Your Majesty," someone else stood up and shouted: "Although the King of Dian is the king of Yunnan, he only has the power to command troops and should not have the power to govern the local area. But His Highness the King of Dian changed his name to a golden-toothed guard. When the government system of Yongchang Prefecture was restored, a man named Yan Shitai was secretly appointed as the magistrate. He even appointed a native Etao as the magistrate of Yingjiang County. He was simply out of control and turned a blind eye to the imperial court and His Majesty."

"The King of Dian also used troops throughout Yunnan, which caused the chieftains to bear the harsh pressure and rebelled one after another."

Suddenly, the crowd in the court became extremely excited.

Suddenly Zhu Chu shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, I almost asked you to cross. Who said it was me who forced the natives to rebel? Who? Stand up and I promise not to kill him."

"The King of Dian is so arrogant that he actually wants to commit murder in front of His Majesty's Palace. Please punish him."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to punish His Royal Highness the King of Dian."

In an instant, all the civil servants knelt down and prostrated themselves. Zhu Ming was a treacherous official who had brought disaster to the country and the people. He had the attitude of destroying the world and the Ming Dynasty.

The generals on the other side were still in a daze, and the two sides were in sharp contrast.

On the dragon throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, but instead of glaring at Zhu Zhen, he glared at the civil servants fiercely.

Xu Da was horrified when he saw this scene.

Are these idiots forcing Your Majesty to kill his own son?You are looking for death. Do you really think His Majesty can't lift the knife?Don’t you see, the Lan Yu case has only been over for less than a year.

"Your Majesty," Xu Da gritted his teeth and said hurriedly, "His Royal Highness the Dian King also has his own difficulties."

"Ah? What's the reason?" Zhu Ming turned to look at Xu Da, with a blank look on his face that made Xu Da want to kick him.

"You'd better have your own reasons for this," Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Zhen with his eyes filled with murderous intent.

But Zhu Xi was not afraid at all.

But even Zhu Chu didn't know, only Xu Da knew clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention was not towards Zhu Chu, but towards those civil servants.

You really don’t understand His Majesty. Even if His Majesty’s child really brings disaster to the country and the people, the most he can do is to send him back to his hometown in Fengyang to farm, and he will come back to be a prince in a few years.

Throughout his life, Zhu Yuanzhang had never been cruel to his children.

Moreover, you people suddenly appeared together to question Zhu Ming. Even if you are telling the truth, doesn't His Majesty know what you are thinking?
This is Emperor Hongwu. Who dares to treat him as a fool and not see the fate of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others?
At this time, it would be fine if Zhu Zhen expressed some difficulties, otherwise, Zhu Zhen might really cut off the vassal, and then go farming for a few years and wait for the opportunity to come back.

But you, one by one, this court will be stained with blood again.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to cut down his vassal, it is just a matter of words, but you should not be the one to plot against his son like this.

This is courting death.
