King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 129 King Lu enters the palace! King versus King! The reckoning is coming!
  Zhu Tan sneered.

After getting angry with those merchants yesterday, he knew that he had been fooled from the beginning to the end!

Except that Wu Qingchen's report letter is true, all other clues now seem to be problematic!
  The person who was playing tricks on him was none other than the boss behind these Jinyiwei.

My good father!
  According to the Fujian merchants, Wu Qingchen did contact them after leaving Yingtian and prepared to use the road to leave Ming Dynasty.

however.

Before Wu Qingchen left, the Fujian merchants had received a secret order from Jinyiwei and must keep Wu Qingchen.

The reward is that you can have more freedom when you go to sea in the future.

for this temptation.

These Fujian merchants naturally had no ability to resist.

Decisively agreed to Jin Yiwei.

So.

Then he sent Wu Qingchen to the hands of Jin Yiwei.

Now this is a small inn by the river!
  Jinyiwei is Lao Zhu's eagle dog.

It is self-evident who guided him behind such actions.

That is the good father who controls everything behind his back!
  In Zhu Tan's eyes, he has always been a bit naive. Lao Zhu knows nothing but rage or ecstasy!

Zhu Tan looked at Jiang Wei coldly.

"Commander Chiang! What's going on with the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion and the Zhang family? What's going on with the woman on the boat?"

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness is so wise and powerful, I must have already guessed it!"

Zhu Tan smiled.

"Why do this?"

Jiang Wei said bitterly: "Your Highness! This official cannot explain this matter."

Zhu Tan nodded.

"I won't embarrass you!
  But you have to let me take a look at Wu Qingchen, who I have been arresting for so long!
  After reading this, I will leave! "

Jiang Wei laughed dryly and said: "Your Highness, you still want to snatch the person away, right? I really can't do anything about this matter, even if you kill me!"

Zhu Tan shook his head and said: "I just took a look! After reading it, I want to settle the score with the old man! It has nothing to do with you!"

Jiang Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this.

In this world, the only one who dares to say that His Majesty is an old man outside is the man in front of me.
  It is said that the kings of Qin, Jin and Qi were violent, careless and dissolute.

But they are all well-known, and they are also targeting outsiders.

This guy is different.

He dares to target His Majesty directly!

As a long-time Jin Yiwei, Jiang Wei naturally knew this.

You must not say this to Lao Zhu.

Otherwise, it would be a sin to alienate the Tian family’s flesh and blood!

Those civil servants did not understand this truth and always thought that princes who broke the law were as guilty as the common people.

They often tell Lao Zhu about the status of the vassal king, but in fact, they will never understand His Majesty.

If we talk about the Song and Tang Dynasties, it was also about one king and scholar-bureaucrats ruling the world.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the world became more and more like a family world.

For example, all courtiers, regardless of their official rank, must take the initiative to salute the prince.

The prince can accept it with confidence, and must accept it.

If any minister dares not to salute the feudal king, it will be a sin!

In previous generations, this was something that was simply unthinkable.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, even the prince or prince had to salute the prime minister of the dynasty!

The prime minister can take it calmly!

The world belongs to the emperor and his family.

A three-year-old child of the Zhu family is nobler than anyone else except the Zhu family!
  This is also the reason why Mencius, who always advocated equal rights, was not favored by Lao Zhu.
  Jiang Wei hesitated.

Seeing Zhu Tan's eyes becoming more and more fierce, she suddenly became frightened.

Although he is a murderous and aloof commander of the Imperial Guard.

But he knew his status in his heart. In Lao Zhu's eyes, he was just a dog of the Zhu family.

And Zhu Tan is a true prince and noble. If he accidentally offends Zhu Tan, let alone Zhu Tan kills him personally.

He told Lao Zhu that the commander of Jin Yiwei would be replaced the next day.

Jiang Wei said hurriedly: "Your Highness, don't worry! I will bring Wu Qingchen out now!"

Zhu Tan nodded.

Not talking.

behind.

Xu Zengshou looked at Zhu Tan with admiration on his face!

The mountain chief is worthy of being a mountain chief!

Such momentum, such style!
  Jin Yiwei has a reputation for being fierce, even his father would stay away from him, and he was usually very polite.

How is it now?

The mountain chief trained him like this in just a few sentences.

soon.

An old man with a pale face and white silk clothes appeared in front of Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan looked at the old man, half smiling.

"Are you Wu Qingchen?"

Wu Qingchen smiled and said: "Go back to Your Highness! You are an old man!"

Zhu Tan said with a smile: "You are a businessman. According to the imperial regulations, wearing silk is illegal! Is it because you don't bite lice and don't worry about debts? So you don't care about taboo things?"

Wu Qingchen shook his head and said: "Your Highness has wronged me! How dare I violate the imperial regulations without authorization!
  In the first year of Hongwu, when His Majesty presented the iron certificate of the elixir to the old man, he gave the old man the privilege of being able to dress as he pleased without being restricted by his merchant status! "

Zhu Tan nodded and asked: "Why did you report Guo Huan? You know so much about Guo Huan's case, were you also involved?
  Your Majesty has given you such grace!
  You must have done a lot for the court back then!
  Why betray Ming Dynasty! "

Wu Qingchen smiled and said: "Does Your Highness want to interrogate the old man? But, the old man is not in your hands, why do you have to tell you this?"

Zhu Tan hasn't spoken yet.

Jiang Wei shouted angrily: "Don't be rude to His Highness! You bastard! How dare you be so arrogant after doing such a sinful thing!"

Wu Qingchen sneered.

"What else can an old and dying person fear?
  So what if it's unreasonable?
  As for those heinous things that you call so sinful, everyone is well aware of them, so there’s no need to point them out!

Be careful if the old man breaks the point, some people will go crazy on the spot! "

Jiang Yu said calmly: "Wu Qingchen! Do you want life to be worse than death? Jin Yiwei has a hundred ways to make your life worse than death!"

Wu Qingchen snorted coldly.

"I have a handful of old bones. If you are not afraid of torturing me to death, feel free to give it a try!"

Jiang Wei is still angry.

Zhu Tan waved his hand.

Jiang Wei saw Zhu Tan's gesture and stopped talking for an instant.

Zhu Tan looked at Wu Qingchen and suddenly smiled.

"I don't know where Mr. Wu found such a wonderful person like you! You can really confuse the fake with the real!

Are you really not afraid of death? "

Wu Qingchen was stunned and said: "What are you confusing the truth with falsehood? I don't understand what your highness is saying!"

Zhu Tan's words fell.

Even Jiang Wei was confused.

He looked at Zhu Tan and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, this person is indeed Wu Qingchen, I dare to believe this!"

Zhu Tan smiled.

"Did I, Wu Qingchen, know what I was doing? Anyway, now that people have seen it, it's time for me to go find the person who should settle the accounts."

Done.

He said to Xu Zengshou: "Let's go!"

Xu Zengshou nodded, looked at the Jin Yiwei in front of him, and waved majestically.

"Brothers did a good job today. Jin Yiwei has many eggs, just do it when it's time!" He said.

Everyone turned around and left with their weapons.

Xu Zengshou couldn't help but turn around and said: "You guys want to frame me, you have some idea!

Don’t even look at who I am!

What does it mean that the young master has taken away your reputation and refused to admit it?

Obviously he got that card by himself!
  This is really unreasonable!

Next time you dare to slander me, I will sue you! "

Zhu Tan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Xu Zengshou's words.

This kid is so damn good when he gets the chance.
  Now it seems that Jin Yiwei is afraid of him, and he actually dares to ridicule and ridicule them!

I’m not afraid that one day there will be an extra yellow robe in my house.
  Or an extra letter from King Yan!
  All of a sudden.

Not only that Jin Yiwei's angry face was livid, but also Jiang Gu's face was a little ugly!
  After all, Xu Zengshou was slapping the Jinyiwei in the face in front of him, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Baihu looked at the backs of everyone, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir! This Xu Zengshou bullies people too much! He relies on his own abilities and is the Duke of the dynasty to bully people like this. Are we so cowardly?

He is just him!

It’s not him!

What are we afraid of him?
  Sir, if you give the order, we will deal with this kid!

Never be a coward! "

unexpectedly.

When Jiang Wei heard Baihu's words, he turned around suddenly and slapped him hard.

Then he snorted softly.

The horse turned and left.

Hundreds of households were slapped with faces full of bewilderment.

I couldn't help but said to my colleagues around me: "What's the point? Why do you want to hit me, sir?"

The colleague smiled.

"Then who is Xu Zengshou?"

Baihu frowned and said, "He's the son of Duke Wei! So what's the matter? Are our Jin Yiwei still afraid of him? He just relied on his father's influence to have a good life!"

The colleague smiled and asked: "Whose son is His Royal Highness King Nalu?"

Baihu was stunned and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course he is the son of His Majesty."

The colleague laughed and said: "So according to your logic, Lord Jiang is afraid of His Highness King Lu, so he is a coward?"

Baihu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Hiss——! Mr. Jiang still loves me."

When my colleagues heard this, they looked puzzled.

Baihu said as if he was surviving a disaster: "If someone offends Mr. Jiang like this, I'm afraid their heads will fall to the ground! I only received a slap in the face. Isn't that enough to hurt me?"

Colleagues:.
  Forbidden City.

Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and approved the memorial.

He just seemed a little uneasy.

From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Prince Zhu Biao beside him and asked, "Is King Lu here?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "I never came!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Continue to lower your head and review the memorial.

"Whenever big things happen, we have to be calm! Our mind still needs to be cultivated!"

talking.

Read the memorial carefully.

suddenly.

Old eunuch Chen came closer and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have heard something that was finally pronounced. He nodded and said: "Declaration!"

soon.

Zhu Tan appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan was all smiles.

"Father, fortunately you have lived up to your destiny! That Wu Qingchen is already a son."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "You don't have to use that matter to embarrass us!

We all know it by heart!

Tell me, what do you want to ask?
  We tell you everything! "

Zhu Tan sighed and asked, "Why?
  Regarding the Guo Huan case, Erchen thought of many possibilities!
  Perhaps Guo Huanzhen was in cahoots with officials from all over the world, colluding with wealthy businessmen and eroding the Ming Dynasty's finances!

Perhaps it was Wu Qingchen who controlled everything, secretly plotting to frame hundreds of officials and disrupt our Ming Dynasty!
  Maybe everything was an unjust, false, and wrong case, but Guo Huan was struggling before his death. He wanted to drag more people into the water."

talking.

Zhu Tan suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "But my son never thought that the person behind all this is actually your father! Why?"

The words fell.

It was like a thunder exploded.

It fell into this huge Xuanzheng Hall.

Everyone was dazzled by the shock!

what?
  Is there actually His Majesty behind the Guo Huan case?

What's happening here?
  Even Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Tan with astonishment on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled when he heard Zhu Tan's words.

"We only thought about one possibility before!
  That means you can't find Wu Qingchen and you can't solve the case, so you will come and admit your mistake to us! "

Done.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed: "What a pity! We guessed wrong!

We really don’t know what kind of magical power you have that you were able to find Wu Qingchen in such a short period of time! "

Zhu Tan said with a smile: "Whatever method the father uses! Sons and ministers can use whatever method they want! The essence of everything, to put it bluntly, is equal exchange. As long as they think it is worth it, anyone can sell it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and suddenly smiled: "That's right! You have a lot of money now. Of course those guys who are greedy for profit will like to deal with you!"

Done.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Prince Zhu Biao who was standing aside, and said calmly: "Prince, you are the crown prince! You should also listen to what happened today! If you learn how to do it, you will be able to be a qualified emperor in the future!"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare!"

Zhu Tan smiled.

Zhu Tan did not explain to Lao Zhu how he obtained the information about Fujian merchants.

If Lao Zhu knew that he secretly sold salt to those maritime traders, I'm afraid there would be another turmoil!
  Of course, such a huge transaction volume cannot be guaranteed in any case.

Lao Zhu will know sooner or later!

It’s just better to know later than to know early!
  What's more, it's in such a complicated situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said: "We know! You want to ask us why we expanded the Guo Huan case to six departments, to twelve chief ministers, and even implicated the country's wealthy businessmen in the subsequent pursuit of the stolen goods!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Actually, I can also think of one reason, and that is money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, these people have money in their hands. We have been poor and know the difficulties of the poor! So we will not take money from the hands of the poor!"

Zhu Tan smiled bitterly and said: "Apart from this? Why do you have to implicate so many ministers?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his hands and said: "Even Yangliu knows how to spit out the old and adopt the new, so must we endure the decrepitude of these people in the court?
  Over the years, we have been wondering why we can never kill all the corrupt officials!

Beheading or Ling Chi! Even peeled daylilies were used!
  Why do they still go after each other and even collude with each other!

Even now, something as sensational as the Guo Huan case has happened!
  Even if we are not exaggerating, 700 million stones of food were stolen!
  The entire household department is monolithic!
  There are also many people from the twelve chief envoys and yamen cooperating with them!
  Shameless and audacious!

We hate these! "

Zhu Tan frowned listening to Lao Zhu's words and couldn't help but sigh.

in fact.

The corruption in the early years of the Hongwu Dynasty was already very low. Compared with the era of Brother Ma and "Old Man Shiquan" in later generations, it can be called a model of clean government!

Isn't Lao Zhu dissatisfied with this?
