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

Chapter 33 The emperor’s tricks, we can only execute King Lu
  Zhu Biao couldn't help but said: "Father! Why is this happening!"

To know.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty have always been exempted from death. Zhu Yuanzhang made this very clear in the ancestral training of the Ming Dynasty.

And the final punishment is to be demoted to a commoner!

Under normal circumstances, such punishments are basically for serious crimes of treason.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"Why is this so? First read the memorial that King Qi and officials from Shandong jointly impeached King Lu!"

Zhu Biao took the memorial, and the expression on his face changed from surprise to solemnity.

"This matter, tenth brother, is indeed ridiculous! But father, we actually know what is going on in Shandong's coastal defense.

Even if the Japanese pirates massacre the city, it is reasonable!

After all, there are too few guard posts along the coast of Shandong, and the area to be defended is too large!

This time you sent an order to the Duke and asked him to go to Shandong, also to increase the coastal defense force. Speaking of which, the tenth brother is not to blame for this incident.

What's more, the King of Qi is in Qingzhou and doesn't worry much about the coast. It's not surprising that there are such loopholes in the coastal defense!

The tenth brother's five thousand men cannot enter Qingzhou, and even his defenses cannot guard against Japanese pirates!

According to Erchen, this memorial was basically a dirty water thrown by the Chief Envoy of Shandong and the King of Qi to the tenth brother in order to wash away his own guilt! "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and sighed.

"Prince, you can see things, but we can't?

But this time things are too big!
  It has been 18 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the little Japanese pirates, even Yuanting, who was so powerful back then, was swept away by us several times and became a defeated army huddled in a corner of the north!

In my Ming Dynasty, neither the court nor the people have ever experienced such humiliation!

There were more than 20,000 people in Rizhao County, but they were harmed by Japanese pirates, and the news spread.

Where is my face?

Where is the face of the Ming Dynasty?

How do the people of the world view my Ming Dynasty?
  The King of Qi and the Chief Envoy of Shandong shirked their responsibilities and deserved to die.

But at this juncture, Zhu Tan rushed to take the blame, and he deserved it!
  Since he likes it, I will let him take the blame!

If we demote him to Zhutan, the people of the world will not say that our country is not good at coastal defense, will not say that our country cannot protect its people, and will not say that our country cannot even deal with a small Japanese pirate!
  I can only say that it was Zhu Tan's stupidity and absurdity that led to this disaster!
  This is enough!

As for the King of Qi and the Chief Envoy of Shandong, we will take care of them in the future! "

Speaking of it.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already gritting his teeth.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh when he heard his father's words.

Is this the so-called imperial mentality?
  Even though he knew that his tenth brother was innocent, he still had to kill him to appease everyone, to appease everyone's anger, and to cover up the Ming Dynasty's weak coastal defense!

However, Zhu Biao has been watching politics as the crown prince for so many years, and he still understands Zhu Yuanzhang's choice very well.

He just smiled bitterly and said: "Father, if this is the case, what should Concubine Guo do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

“Prince, this Ming Dynasty belongs to our Zhu family, and our Zhu family also belongs to the Ming Dynasty!
  If there is a problem in the Ming Dynasty, no matter who in the Zhu family should sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty!
  What's more, I am extremely disappointed with this kid Zhu Tan!

How long has he been a feudal lord? He actually favored the alchemists and colluded with the foxes and rats in the city to harm the people!

In just a few months, the people of Shandong hated him deeply!
  Even if we demote him to a commoner, we still feel no shame in our hearts and the people of the Ming Dynasty!
  As for Concubine Guo, she only needs to understand. If she doesn't understand, there's nothing she can do about it!

As a member of the royal family, you should have such awareness!

Besides, don’t underestimate your concubine Guo.

Let her take over your mother's position and take charge of the harem. I still believe in her.

There is still a general awareness of this, but it will be very painful. "Zhu Biao sighed and said with a trace of luck: "Father, this memorial only says that Zhu Tan sent King Lu's guards to disrupt the coastal defense deployment of King Qi's domain, causing Rizhao County to be raided by Japanese pirates, but it does not mention the losses. If the losses are serious, How about light? "

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice: "How much do you know about Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Biao said: "These Japanese pirates come from Japan and have been plundering our Chinese coast since the Yuan Dynasty!

However, after encountering the two eastern expeditions of the Yuan Dynasty, they did not dare to have a westward ambition again.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, these Japanese pirates have gotten together with the remnants of Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng, resurrected, and gradually become arrogant!

Erchen knew that they had great fighting ability individually and were ferocious in nature, but they were not many in number. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, these Japanese pirates are not my descendants from China, they are short and wretched, and their temperament is as cruel as animals!
  But I have to admit that if our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty encounter these Japanese pirates, the northern frontier army will naturally not be afraid, but the soldiers of the inland guard station are now much less powerful!

If we really fight against Japanese pirates, it will take about three people to replace one!
  The memorial made it very clear that more than a thousand Japanese pirates made a surprise attack on Rizhao County.

And this is the information provided by Xin Guogong Tanghe.

What's even more serious is that there are still several internal officials in Rizhao County who help open the city gate!

Isn’t it easy for the Japanese pirates to capture a mere county town with 20,000 people? "

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little headache and said: "Stop taking chances and think about how to face Concubine Guo's plea first!"

Although Lao Zhu said that Concubine Guo Ning would understand and have to accept the sacrifice of Zhu Tan, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very sober.

This level is not that easy to pass.

In this world, except for the beloved Queen Ma, who has passed away.

Concubine Guo Ning can be regarded as the woman who accompanied him to conquer the world when he was starting from scratch.

Now that her only son was demoted to a commoner, Zhu Yuanzhang could not imagine how Concubine Guo Ning would be begging him.

Women, what a nuisance!
  Lao Zhu's ruthlessness is aimed at outsiders.

But I have never been able to do this with my own family.

However, Zhu Tan really made a big mistake this time.

It even appeared at the most inappropriate time and place.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to sacrifice Zhu Tan out of overall consideration!

Otherwise, how will future generations see themselves?

The descendants of later generations will follow suit and indulge the vassal king and cause great troubles without being severely punished.

Then can we still want this country?
  What needs to be done will eventually be done.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

He was ordered to pass on the commander of the Jinyi Guards to Jiang Ying.

did not expect.

Jiang Yu came very quickly, almost within a moment of passing the message.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

Asked: "Jiang Wei, do you have anything to ask us?"

Jiang Wei knelt on the ground and said, "Yes! Your Majesty! I have something to report to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "You should listen to my story first!

Go and capture King Lu from Shandong! This matter must be done quickly and secretly, and no one must be alerted. If anyone dares to obstruct it, he will be killed immediately! "

Jiang Wei raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, slightly startled.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What do you think we are doing? Why don't we go on errands quickly!"
