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

Chapter 25 King Qi wants to impeach King Lu!
  Tang He was a kind man. Seeing that Sun Yannian gave in, he stopped bullying him.

After all, he had bullied him so hard that if the news reached the emperor's ears, he would be displeased.

Don't look at it now that you are the Duke of the country, and you still have the iron coupon of the elixir and the gold medal for immunity from death given by the emperor himself.

But based on Tang He's understanding of his childhood friend, turning against someone ruthlessly was a routine operation, and the iron coupons and death-free gold medals were not as trustworthy as a piece of toilet paper.

Even if you are honest, you may not be able to die peacefully.
  It’s better not to test the credibility of this so-called death-free gold medal.

The current situation in Shandong is obvious.

We must strengthen the construction of health centers from north to south!
  Only in this way can we resist Japanese pirate attacks.

Tang He was about to discuss with a few people the location of setting up a guard station when suddenly.

An official walked in nervously.

Look at a few people.

Hesitant to speak.

Sun Yannian frowned and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

The official said: "Prince Qi is here! He's just outside the Yamen. Sir, do you think we should welcome him?"

King Qi?

Zhu Shu?

Hear the name.

Everyone present frowned.

If Zhu Tan is now regarded as the worst-performing prince in the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of everyone.

Then, Zhu Shu must be the second-worst performer.

Even before Zhu Tan became a vassal, Zhu Shu should be the last one.

Tang He knew from Yingtian Mansion that this fatuous prince was capable of murdering people, was superstitious in cultivating immortals, and was extravagant.

Shandong is also very unlucky to have such two princes.

but.

Now that the King of Qi is here, no one dares to lose etiquette.

They all stood up.

Go to greet.

Zhu Shu, dressed in the official uniform of a prince, stood proudly in front of the gate of the Shandong Chief Envoy.

Behind him stood the personal entourage of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Seeing the leader Tang He, Zhu Shu was slightly startled.

I couldn't help but mutter: "Why did Duke Xin come to Shandong too?"

but.

This is just right!

Do you believe that the Duke of Guo is not Zhu Tan’s father-in-law?
  I will sue Zhu Tan in front of you!

Let’s see what you do!
  If Tang He's handling was slightly inappropriate, then Zhu Shu would go to the emperor to complain!

soon.

After everyone met according to the ceremony.

Tang He couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, why are you here?"

In fact.

According to the regulations of the court.

The feudal king cannot leave the feudal territory without an imperial decree.

But in the early Ming Dynasty, management was still relatively loose.

After all, they are all Lao Zhu's biological sons, who can still conspire against him?
  Rules are dead.

People are alive.

Today's vassal king has an exaggerated power.

He had soldiers, money and territory, and could even get involved in local military affairs. The King of Qi was not the only one who frequently killed people.

so. Officials were also in awe of the feudal king.

He didn't dare to question Zhu Su about such a trivial matter as the feudal king leaving the feudal territory without authorization.

Zhu Shu was not polite when he heard Tang He's words.

He sneered and said: "Xin Guo Gong! I don't want to come to Jinan! But there is no way, my home has been occupied! If I don't come to escape, where else can I go?"

When everyone heard Zhu Su's words, there was an uproar!
  what?
  King Qi’s home was occupied?

How can it be!

Is it a rebellion or a Japanese pirate?

The King of Qi's guard has a total of 9000 troops, and there are three guards under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It can't be attacked by foreign enemies, right?

Even if it was breached, these people present should have known about it a long time ago!
  What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhu Shu and the people around him are all well-groomed, and they don't look like they are fleeing.

Tang He smiled slightly, knowing that Zhu Shu was exaggerating on purpose, and there must be something in his words.

He immediately said: "Your Highness, if you have any questions, just ask!"

Zhu Shu snorted and said, "It would be better to have you, Duke Xin, as my witness today! Then I, the king, will speak frankly!"

talking.

Zhu Shu said to everyone: "King Zhu Tan of Lu sent a large army to invade our territory of Qingzhou the day before yesterday!

Now, I am here to ask you all to jointly submit a memorial to His Majesty to impeach Zhu Tan! "

The words fell.

Everyone was stunned!

what?
  King Zhu Tan of Lu sent an army into Qingzhou?

What does he want to do?
  It is already a taboo for the vassal king to use the guards without authorization, and now he has gone to other people's vassal territory!
  If this matter reaches the imperial court, I'm afraid His Majesty will be furious!

Tang He couldn't help but lost consciousness for a while.

No matter how ridiculous King Lu is, he can't do such a thing, right?
  He doesn't want his life?
  He said in disbelief: "Your Highness, is this serious?"

Zhu Shu sneered and said, "I know you don't believe it!"

As he spoke, he winked at his side.

"Wu Cheng, tell me!"

A small officer in the uniform of a centurion stood up, looked at the many high officials present, and stammered timidly: "My lords, it is absolutely true! Our Baihu Station was originally guarded at the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou .

Seeing thousands of Lu Wangwei's troops entering Qingzhou like this! Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, we didn’t dare to stop them, so we had to let them in! "

When Tang He heard this, his eyes suddenly turned black!
  Sin!
  King Lu really committed a serious crime this time!

Perhaps His Majesty can tolerate those ridiculous things.

But using the army without permission and even reaching the territory of King Qi was a taboo against Zhu Yuanzhang!
  His Majesty is so angry that he may have King Lu expelled or imprisoned!
  Even if Concubine Guo Ning is on death row in the palace, if King Lu can survive this disaster, what will happen to his daughter?
  It's a pity that she has to face such a thing just after marrying Zhu Tan!
  My poor daughter!

Shandong Chief Envoy Si Yamen, in the lobby.

Zhu Shu sat at the top and sneered: "How do you guys do? The evidence is conclusive, let's jointly submit a memorial?"

Tang He couldn't help but said: "Is there some misunderstanding about this? Maybe Prince Lu has other plans?"

Zhu Shu smiled and said: "Xinguo Gong, you are Zhu Tan's father-in-law, so naturally you have to speak for him! However, Zhu Tan committed a serious crime this time! Are you sure you want to protect him to the death now?"

Tang He frowned and said, "My father-in-law is not protecting him!

It's just that the words of a centurion alone are not enough to prove that King Lu Wei entered Qingzhou without permission!
  Unless my father-in-law has seen such a big thing with his own eyes, he will never believe it.

Please, Your Highness, understand your official’s difficulties! "

Zhu Shu sneered.

"Be considerate! Of course I am considerate! After all, he is my son-in-law. If he is reduced to a civilian status because of this matter, I am afraid that you, the father-in-law, will also feel sad! Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't sign a joint name! I originally wanted to find him. you!"

talking.

Zhu Shu glanced at the others.

"Master Sun, Master Li, Master Zhou! The three of you are the biggest officials in Shandong. If something like this happened under your rule, it would be unjustifiable not to report it to His Majesty, right? How about it? How about joining my name and impeaching Zhu Tan together?"

The words fell.

Zhu Shu sneered again: "If we don't join forces, we can each submit memorials, but I can guarantee this time! It is absolutely true that thousands of King Lu's guards entered my domain! If I let you know who didn't If you submit a memorial to the imperial court, I will definitely take off his hat and head!"
