Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 166 Prince Consort
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson with dull eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Ever since he appointed Wang Guangyang as the right prime minister, but the latter was obsessed with sex and sex, so that Hu Weiyong became bigger and bigger, some thoughts that were not humane to outsiders had appeared in his mind!

But he knew very well that even if he brought up these ideas, the ministers in the court would probably throw words like "ancestral system, ancient method" and similar words at him.

And challenging the greatest "subordinate power" in thousands of years, even if he is the founding emperor, will not be that easy.

Therefore, these ideas have always been budding, and his grandson's sudden words were not only shocking, but also gave him the illusion that his thoughts were seen through, and he even met a "confidant".

"Why is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked subconsciously.

But his grandson ignored him and turned his head suddenly to look at Queen Ma.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sister.

Queen Ma looked helpless and had no choice but to ask in person: "Grandma also wants to hear it."

"Because Uncle Eight took advantage of Zuoban's position to join forces with Chang Sen and the others to deceive us. Gewuyuan made a joke that day, and Grandpa Huang was unhappy."

Big fish can only be found in the deep sea!
Of course, we have to be quick to find those moths who took advantage of the national laws to act recklessly in the Ming Dynasty and devoured the rich households and the collusion between officials and businessmen!
But...if your hands and feet are tied and the government orders cannot be implemented, someone will always take the opportunity to do something against it. In the end, won't it all be in vain?

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "But let me tell you, it is impossible for Su Xian to return to the main hall in a short time."

Only by being unscrupulous and arousing the resentment of most people in the country can he occupy the perspective of justice, justice, and eliminating harm for the people...

The more so.

But he was obviously still worried.

That boy Su Xian is even more miscalculated...

"In the future, unless his father is innocent, unless all this is unjust and false, otherwise..."

But before that.

His voice softened, "Grandpa Huang, do you really want to punish Su Xian's father? How? Will he be beheaded like those corrupt officials? What about Su Xian? He won't be beheaded too, right?"

I don't even care.

Seeing his grandson being so messy, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little tired.

Of course he knew that this kid must know that Su Xian was implicated by his father, but he never mentioned Su Xian's father. Instead, he only talked about Su Xian, making it clear that he was fighting with him.

Finally achieve your goal!
And next, I will be a foolish king who "trusts the prime minister", whether he is called Li Longji of Xuanzong or Li Cunxu of Later Tang Dynasty!

Zhu Xiongying blinked and pretended to be innocent, "I only know about Su Xian, and Su Xian is right!"

Hear the words.

After asking several questions in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang could tell that Zhu Xiongying really wanted to plead for that guy.

Zhu Yuanzhang said speechlessly: "We are not doing it because of the Gewuyuan, we are doing it because of his father's affairs..."

This is one of the purposes!

Zhu Xiongying raised his head, "If it hadn't been for that incident before, Su Xian would definitely still be in the main hall."

He was talking.

only……

"I don't know. I only know that Grandpa Huang's words don't count."

Zhu Xiongying blinked, "Then after Su Xian..."

You can even take advantage of this general trend to push everything forward.

Only with sufficient power and strong imperial power can the sword be accurate.

But it made another thought in his mind grow stronger.

The original intention is to take this opportunity to use the clues of counterfeit banknotes to move the country inside and outside one by one, similar to "Chang Sen" using the people to collect the people's liberation, to persecute the cystic parasites among the people, and find out all them!

"Yes, it will also be affected!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.

"Seeing that the Gewuyuan is useless, that's why we asked Su Xian to leave the main hall."

This situation was set up in the first place.

I, the founding monarch who established the Ming Dynasty, kept a low profile and pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger many times during this period, don't he still have the courage?

Originally, as long as we found clues about "fake banknotes", we could quickly search the net.

He couldn't help but want to lower the net deeper again.

And my grandson today... the restructuring of Gewuyuan - abolishing Zuoban!

The net goes deeper and deeper, making everyone unconscious, slowly exposing their true nature, and even doing whatever they want!

If there are no checks and balances in the DPRK, there will naturally be clarity!
Therefore, the second purpose seems to be gradually emerging...

But now, when he mentioned this, even he himself became speechless.

You know, for the first purpose, Su Xian himself tricked his old father into getting involved.

And this time point is actually very fast.

"Forget it, I can't tell you clearly."

But Zhu Xiongying's face dropped and he stopped listening.

Just enough time to make a difference between Su Guiyuan's guilt. When everything becomes clear, the so-called guilt will naturally be blank.

only!

Once the second purpose in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind comes out, the net cannot be closed so quickly.

On the contrary, Su Guiyuan's matter must have a "reasonable" solution.

It can't really be chopped off.

Although the emperor did not care about this, the way Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson and then thought of Su Xian...

A person with no noble clan or official background would naturally become the most desired minister of emperors of all dynasties as soon as he grew up.

You can't sacrifice the future just for the sake of the present!
What's more, it would be even more troublesome if it left a psychological shadow on the grandson's heart.

So, how can the Su family father and son not be vindicated in this case, but get away with it reasonably?

The more he thought about it, the more he frowned.

Deliberately taking out printing plates, and even buying murderers to cover up their guilt!

This kind of serious crime is almost only included in the heinous crimes such as rebellion and rebellion.

The whole country is watching, how could it be so easy to escape?

Just then.

"Father, Emperor and Mother!"

"Hey! Hero is here too?"

On the other side, Crown Princess Chang took the lead, followed by Princess Ningguo and Princess Chongning.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were interrupted and he was a little annoyed, but he still suppressed his emotions.

But Queen Ma looked at her two daughters, "Why are you here?"

"I happened to be back in the palace. I want to meet my mother." Princess Ningguo was the eldest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, so she had no fear of "the two parents".

On the contrary, Princess Chongning had something to do. Although she looked weird outside, she was a little timid when she came to Kunning Palace. She had no choice but to pull her second sister and come together under the guidance of her sister-in-law.

"Mom, second aunt, third aunt!" Zhu Xiongying raised his head, called out, and sighed like an adult.

"This is..." Princess Ning Guo looked at Queen Ma quietly.

Mother and daughter made eye contact, and the former understood everything.

Chang Jing had no choice but to come over, pick up Zhu Xiongying and let him sit on a chair nearby, and then she started talking.

"Father, is Xiongying here again about Su Xian?"

"Why else?"

Chang Jing looked at the two princesses and thought to herself that this was a good opportunity. Isn't that why they came today? Take advantage of this.

"Father, if Su Guiyuan is really found guilty, then according to the court law... the lightest word..." Zhu Xiongying raised his head. It was obvious that he didn't understand before, but pretended not to understand. Now he also understands Pay attention to the outside.

"At the very least, it's skinning and pulling grass, which affects the whole clan!" Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried about this matter, and he was frowning at this moment.

Seeing this, Princess Ningguo's face lit up with joy. She knew her father's little expressions and inner thoughts best.

"Well, I heard that Su Guiyuan has never been involved in corruption during his five-year tenure as school inspector. He has only been in Chaojingyuan for a year or two this time, and he has no shortage of food and clothing. There is no reason to seek death. Father, do you think so too? Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Besides, that's it for Su Guiyuan. Su Xian is so young. Although I have heard of Su Xian's previous performance in the main hall, I was still shocked when I saw it with my own eyes! Such a person will definitely be the best assistant minister when he grows up. "

"Father doesn't really want to punish them, does he?"

In order to do something, you must first understand the Holy Will.

At this moment, several other people also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Before the former could speak, Empress Ma spoke first and put on a dark face.

"This man can stick to his ambitions when he is poor. But he often sinks into poverty after becoming rich. If he is really guilty, he should be severely punished. Warning to the officials, you should not absolve him."

Speaking of this, she sighed again: "It's a pity for Su Xian..."

"What's a pity? There's no need to be pity, I have a solution!"

At this moment, Princess Chongning hurriedly said: "Father, Queen and Queen, there must be something hidden in this. But in this situation, the government and the public are paying attention to this case. Su Guiyuan will definitely not be able to escape. If this continues, it will be sooner or later that Su Xian is affected. "

"But I have a way to let Su Xian escape. Not only does he escape, but he is completely unaffected by this matter. At best, he can stay at home for a few years and then he can become an official in the court."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this.

He was worried about this matter just now, "What can you do? Even if Su Xian is not guilty of the crime, the best thing is to be exiled and be registered as a criminal. From now on, he will never be able to enter the officialdom."

"Father...if I tell you, can you think carefully about my matter? Don't worry, you don't need to agree to it. You just need to think about it."

Chongning said quickly. She didn't dare to say too much for fear of arousing her father's resentment.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more curious, "I'll tell you first..."

Chongning secretly had something going on, and even Chang Jing was a little happy at this moment. She could help secretly, so she would not hold back.

"Princess Shang!"

Shang, another way of saying marrying a wife, is just that the status of a princess is noble after all, so there is no need to marry, but to Shang.

It was obviously the first time Empress Ma heard this. She subconsciously refused: "How old is Su Xian? This is too ridiculous..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had already reacted, "Don't say it...you really don't say it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and paced back and forth.

"It's so interesting. Once you get engaged, you become a royal relative. Royal relatives have their own rules."

"If it's just affected, maybe it doesn't need to be included in the criminal record!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly said this.

But I can't help but think in my heart that it just makes some people relax their vigilance. After all, you can't really use this incident to convict!
"Then Father agreed?"

"Who are the princesses of similar age?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked subconsciously.

Empress Ma never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would really agree to such a ridiculous thing at this time, and it would take at least five or six years to do so.

However, if we really talk about it, it’s not too early.

And the daughters in the palace always have to marry outside, but... for some reason, she thought that even though it was the Ming Dynasty, relatives could be in charge of state affairs.

But once you become a prince-in-law, you are destined to be unable to integrate into the government and the public. After all, due to the previous dynasty, scholar-officials have always been relatively repulsive to such shortcuts.

If Su Xian really succeeds, he may not even be able to integrate into the imperial court in the future.

However, if the current trouble is not solved, let alone the future.

"If we look at the children of the same age, the Eighth Princess, the Ninth Princess, and the Eleventh Princess are all about the same. In addition, the Seventh Princess can also..."

Lao Zhu thought for a while and then said: "Then let's settle on the Eighth Emperor's daughter Yu Jing. This child has been beautiful and intelligent since she was a child. I heard that she has any talent and can master it in a few days. She is the same as the third girl from the Xu family. It’s not too much to give in to.”

The reputation of a talented woman has always been spread in the capital.

The first talented woman was none other than Princess Yan, Xu Miaoyun, who was already married to King Yan.

But there are rumors in the capital that the Xu family has another daughter. Although she is young, she is already visible and seems to be no less charming than her eldest sister.

However, what the outside world doesn't know is that there are also people in the palace.

"Father! I also think that the eighth sister Yujing is good." Princess Ningguo said quickly.

"When we make an engagement, we are royal relatives. Now that Su Xian has escaped, it's okay for my father to love talents."

"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "He saved the Crown Princess back then. We are sensible and will not ignore him."

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying also quickly raised his head, surprise and excitement flashed in his eyes.

When Princess Chongning saw this, she hurriedly said: "Father, then my..."

"Tell me about it." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have guessed what his daughter wanted to say.

"My daughter is getting married, so I have to give the consort a place. This Chaojingyuan..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up and took out something from the pile of memorials brought to Kunning Palace.

"In the end, it was the married daughter who threw the water away. You are not married yet, but... first, let's see what this is?"

As he spoke, he threw out the memorial.

Princess Chongning didn't dare to pick it up at first, but seeing her father's determination, she quickly opened it, took one look at it, and then froze on the spot.

"You see, you don't need to beg for mercy. Hu Xiang has already recommended it to us - Shanqinhou Niu Bingen's son, Niucheng!"

Princess Chongning held the memorial with a blank look on her face.

She didn't know what her father was thinking, and was about to ask.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had already said: "That's fine!"

As he spoke, he picked up the brush from the table beside him.

With a stroke of the pen, the word "accurate" has appeared.

"Let's... consider it a deal."

"We're ready!"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Chongning was immediately overjoyed. She originally thought that her father would not agree so quickly.

And it happened to be at this moment.

"His Majesty!"

Outside the door, Wang He was anxious.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked.

"The Third Division is preparing to interrogate Su Guiyuan for the last time, saying that the evidence is sufficient and the case can be finalized!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in Kunning Palace became quiet.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who said: "Look, some people are more anxious than us. It is inevitable that their charges will be fully confirmed before the end of the year!"

Fortunately, I had just made preparations, otherwise if I kept putting it off, it would make things more troublesome.

"Then go to trial!" He waved his hand and seemed not to care.

"But..." Wang He paused.

"But what?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Wang He quickly said: "But Su Xian went too!"
