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

Chapter 46 Lao Zhu’s Law of Cause and Effect Weapon
  Jiang Wei was shocked when he heard Lao Zhu's question!
  Why do you have to admit your guilt?
  I am here now just to report to His Majesty on the recent supervision of officials.
  Your Majesty doesn't want to change yourself like you change your hair, right?

Think of this.

Jiang Wei's blood ran cold all over his body!
  He suddenly fell to his knees and said, "I know my guilt!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Wei and suddenly cursed angrily: "You know nothing about your crime! Are you guilty if we say you are guilty?"

Jiang Wei was stunned.

With a sad face.

So am I guilty or not guilty?

Your Majesty, please make it clear!
  We are Jin Yiwei, your eagle dog. If you say I am guilty, what is the difference between me and me dying?
  Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily: "Jiang Wei! Let me ask you! Are your Jin Yiwei monitoring the world! Does everyone in the world know about Jin Yiwei?"

Jiang Wei was stunned and said: "Yes! Your Majesty! Everyone in the world knows that the Jin Yiwei are the eyes and ears of the emperor! Supervise all civil and military officials and the world! There are very few things in the world that can be hidden from the Jin Yiwei!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Then why doesn't Shandong know? King Lu doesn't know? He, this little bastard, dared to conceal the seizure of 500 million taels of silver!"

Jiang Wei's eyes widened when he heard this!

What does King Lu's concealment of information have to do with me?
  Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Do you feel that you have been wronged? Come, let me tell you! If your reputation as a royal guard spreads far and wide, everyone in the world will know your reputation!"
  Everyone in the world knows your reputation, so no one dares to lie to others!

If you don’t dare to deceive me, then King Lu will not conceal it in the memorial!
  King Lu will not conceal the information in the memorial, then I will not be angry!

Jiang Wei! Tell me if it's your fault! "

Jiang Wei's face was full of bitterness.

This King Lu is stupid, what does it have to do with my Jin Yiwei!
  Your Majesty is too unreasonable.
  After Zhu Yuanzhang became angry, he waved his hands and said: "Go, go, go! We are upset when we see you now! I will write a memorial about your report later!"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he felt as if he had been granted amnesty.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he hurried away.

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Father, you don't have to be so angry."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Can we not be angry? We have agreed to go out with the 1000 million taels of silver!"

Zhu Biao:.
  My father is too incapable of hiding his money!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry.

suddenly.

Old eunuch Chen came over again.

"Your Majesty, Wen Xiangqing, Minister of War, would like to see you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a gloomy face: "Xuan!"

Wen Xiangqing just walked into the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Wen Xiangqing! Do you know the crime?"

The voice was full of anger, frightening Wen Xiangqing inexplicably.

What and what are you guilty of?
  I didn’t do anything!

I came today just to report to Zhu Yuanzhang on the work of the Ministry of War.

After all, His Majesty was still smiling a few days ago, saying that he would continue the Northern Expedition this year and completely wipe out the Yuanmeng court!
  Why are you suddenly asking yourself about sin?
  Wen Xiangqing said blankly: "I really don't know what crime I have committed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said angrily: "Dereliction of duty! Of course it is dereliction of duty! Wen Xiangqing! You are in charge of the Ministry of War, why is Shandong's coastal defense so weak! This time, if King Lu hadn't sent troops to Rizhao, the Japanese pirates would have massacred the city! Do you think you are guilty? !”

Wen Xiangqing was confused by the scolding.

The Minister of War who I took over at the beginning of the eighteenth year of Hongwu was just a fellow magistrate of Taiyuan before.

What happened in Rizhao happened in February of the 18th year of Hongwu's reign. No matter how powerful I was, I couldn't have completed the construction of Shandong's coastal defense in more than a month.
  What's more, if we talk about responsibility, Xin Guogong Tanghe has been in charge of coastal defense and Japanese affairs. I'm afraid he is the one who bears the greater responsibility, right?
  No matter how strange it is, you can’t blame yourself!

However, Wen Xiangqing is a smart man and he knows Lao Zhu's temper.

The more Lao Zhu says you are guilty, then just plead guilty.

It would be terrible if he didn't say you were guilty and asked the Jin Yiwei to investigate!
  Wen Xiangqing hurriedly knelt down and said, "I know you are guilty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Just admit your guilt!"

Said. He said to himself: "If you manage the coastal defense of Shandong, then the Japanese pirates will be destroyed by the imperial army! If the imperial army is destroyed, King Lu will not be able to send troops. If King Lu does not send troops, then the Japanese pirates' 1000 million taels of silver will be lost If it’s seized, it won’t fall into his hands, and if it doesn’t fall into his hands, he won’t conceal it!”

Zhu Biao was stunned as he listened!
  Can all this be linked to the Minister of War?

No wonder my father killed so many people in the Kongyin case and the Hu Weiyong case.
  There are indeed good reasons!

soon.

After being scolded so badly, Wen Xiangqing left in a hurry.

At the palace gate.

Wen Xiangqing saw Guo Huan, who was in charge of the Ministry of household affairs with the title of Minister of the Ministry of household affairs and was responsible for the affairs of the minister.

Guo Huan smiled and cupped his hands with Wen Xiangqing.

"Lord Wen!"

Wen Xiangqing's face was full of embarrassment, and he returned the salute and reminded: "Master Guo, are you here to meet the Holy Spirit?"

Guo Huan said with a smile: "Exactly! Your Majesty has approved a large sum of money to be distributed to various places. The Ministry of Revenue is now waiting for the money to be released! I heard that it was captured from Prince Lu Zhu Tan! It's amazing! I'm here this time, I am just discussing this money with His Majesty!"

Wen Xiangqing laughed dryly.

"Master Guo made a good choice!"

Guo Huan said proudly: "That's natural! I heard from the people in the General Affairs Department that Prince Lu's petition for merit has arrived! While His Majesty saw it, Long Yan was so happy that he just settled the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue! To avoid delays. For a long time, my subordinates blamed the Ministry of Finance for not giving money! Your Majesty also blamed the Ministry of Finance for not doing things well!"

Look at Guo Huan's proud look.

Wen Xiangqing opened his mouth wide for a long time.

Don't know what to say.

He had to laugh dryly and said, "Master Guo is really smart!"

Guo Huan chuckled and twirled his beard.

at this time.

The little eunuch from the Forbidden City also ran to Guo Huan.

"Guo Shangshu, Your Majesty declares your presence!"

Guo Huangong cupped his hands and said to Wen Xiangqing: "Goodbye, Mr. Wen!"

Wen Xiangqing forced a smile and returned the salute to Guo Huan.

soon.

Guo Huan met Lao Zhu.

Talk about it.

Guo Huan can also be regarded as an old man in the household department.

He was previously the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was dismissed because the previous Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Shu, was ineffective and failed to complete the imperial task of collecting military rations.

Now Guo Huan is regarded as the acting Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Guo Huan.

His face suddenly darkened.

"Guo Huan! Do you know your guilt?"

When Guo Huan heard this, his heart skipped a beat!
  Is it
  Something happened?
  It shouldn’t be!

If the incident happened, how could it be that His Majesty would personally interrogate it?
  It is estimated that he has been arrested by the Jin Yiwei and sent to the Zhenfu Division!

Guo Huan had a ghost in his heart, so he was naturally frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang to the point where he felt cold all over and felt panicked in his heart!

He knelt down on the ground and kept saying: "I know the crime!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You know your crime! What crime do you know! Huh! You have been an old man in the Ministry of Household Affairs for so many years! How do you manage the treasury? It has been Hongwu for eighteen years! The annual income is only tens of millions of taels of silver! It's simply It’s just trash! A loser!”
