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

Chapter 99: Murder and heart-breaking, Lao Zhu wakes up in the world!

"Come on! Pass on Jiang Wei."

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't finished speaking yet.

Zhu Biao said: "Father! My son and I have something to do."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said impatiently: "What can happen to you! Why don't you just imitate your mother and want to help those corrupt officials get away with it!"
  If those bastards didn't take advantage of the good salt merchants, we, the emperor, would stop being emperor!
  So many memorials popped up in one day!
  Do you really think we are fools?

We don’t need Jin Yiwei to know that they must be colluding with each other!

It has nothing to do with those salt merchants!

This Shanxi merchant was following the path of collusion between officials and businessmen back then!
  We admit that we have also benefited from him!
  But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we didn't treat them badly, right?
  Even if merchants have a low status and are not allowed to wear silk, what does this mean to those Shanxi merchants who have received real benefits?
  When did our Jiubian sweep Mobei without using Shanxi merchants' transportation capacity?

They have taken so much salt, sold it for so many years, and accumulated so much wealth. Do you really think we don’t know?

Now Tan'er just tried to take advantage of them, but it was like a hornet's nest was poked. Officials from all over the dynasty stood up to attack Tan'er for them!
  This is simply unreasonable! "

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "Father, I also think there is something fishy about this matter, but I feel that some things cannot be taken at face value.

There may be some communication between those officials and Shanxi merchants, but it may not be just because of the collusion of interests.

For example, today, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Xuanhuai, said that if the tenth brother did this, the Ministry of Revenue would indeed lose millions of taels of income this year! Just this one thing is hard for the court to bear!
  The thoughts and concerns of these officials are not completely unreasonable! "

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "It's not like you haven't seen what happened that day. If these more than 100 million taels of silver can make the people of the world return to their hearts, we think it's worth spending it!"
  It’s nothing more than opening up new ways to make money this year!

What's more, Tan'er also gave the court an increase of 10 taels of silver every year, and the deficit was reduced year by year! "

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "My father knows this truth, but the civil servants don't know it!
  It is indeed unexpected that the price of salt is so low, and it is probably difficult for them to understand it!
  And, Father.
  The son is worried that for four cents of silver per pound of salt, how much profit will be left for the tenth brother?

What if he can't even earn 100 million silver by then? "

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also frowned.

I couldn't help but scratch my head.

"Well, originally eight cents of silver per pound of salt, we feel that although Tan'er has made less money, the people of the world have benefited, and the court has also suffered a loss!

He can definitely pay the court's salt tax.

But now it seems that may not be the case!

Why has the price of salt dropped to 4 cents a pound?

Under such circumstances, how much money can Tan'er have left? We are not sure either! "

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said: "The tenth brother is young after all, and it is inevitable to act impulsively. My son is suspicious. He wants to completely force those salt merchants to death in revenge for their discord with the tenth brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while, then hummed: "It's really possible! This kid Tan'er seemed to be knowledgeable and courteous when he was in Yingtian. Who would have thought that after leaving the vassal, his temper would become so wild!
  The last time I came to Yingtian, I even kept telling Lao Qi what Ling Chi was!
  He also led people to kill all the people in Lao Qi!
  This is really unreasonable!

It can also be seen from here that he is a real person! "

Done.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but groaned and said: "If you say something bad, he will be lawless!"

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "My son is worried that he will act out of impulse and use the big to win over the small! At that time, it will not only hurt the interests of the court, but also make him embarrassed. Even if he uses this method to cause heavy losses to the Shanxi merchants, The gain outweighs the loss.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "This brat! It's really annoying! Let's send a special envoy to ask Tan'er about this!"

soon.

Old eunuch Chen led the eunuch who went to Yanzhou that day to come to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the eunuch who was delivering the order and said calmly: "We have something to do this time, so we will send you to Yanzhou to ask King Lu something! Later, we will let the great scholar Song Ne tell you about these matters! Do you want to Remember it clearly!"

The eunuch who delivered the order rolled his eyes.

Thinking of the humiliation of that trip to Yanzhou, I snorted in my heart.

His Royal Highness King Lu!

This is entirely your own fault!

Subsequently.

The eunuch who delivered the order made a "plop" sound and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty! I don't dare to go to Yanzhou anymore!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at the eunuch who delivered the order.

"Don't you dare? Why don't you dare?"

The eunuch who delivered the order smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, what you do is really shocking!

The last time, the slave went to Yanzhou Mansion to convey an edict, and His Royal Highness King Lu actually took the imperial edict and played with it like a folding fan!
  This servant saw such a disrespectful thing and didn't dare to say anything. He was worried that Your Majesty would blame the slave for alienating the family relationship between father and son of the Tian family!

But if Your Majesty still asks your slave to deliver the order today, I will never dare to go!

If you see that scene again, this slave will only feel that you are guilty of death! "

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this.

Sneered.

Senran looked at the eunuch who delivered the order.

Suddenly he kicked hard!
  The eunuch who conveyed the order was kicked in the chest.

The whole person fell to the ground, at a loss.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "You are like a dog! You even know that you are trying to alienate the family ties of the Tian family!
  Since you are not willing to listen to us, what use do we have in having you as a slave? Drag him down and beat him to death with sticks! "

The words fell. The eunuch who delivered the order was pale!

He didn't expect that he was just telling the truth, not to mention that he was clearly speaking out of public motives! Out of loyalty!
  How could His Majesty be so cold-blooded and ruthless, instead of executing himself first!
  "Your Majesty! Spare your life, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

Not even looking.

Prince Zhu Biao was about to open his mouth to persuade.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "This old dog is talking about your biological brother! Prince, kindness must come in its own time!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly became speechless.

After the eunuch who delivered the order was dragged away.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Zhu Tan, this brat, is really making us more and more dissatisfied with what he does!

Our imperial edict to reward him should be treated as a folding fan. It is simply unreasonable! "

When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Father, you didn't just execute the eunuch who delivered the order because of this matter, why do you do it again now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said, "You think we don't believe what this eunuch said? We actually do! But what makes us angry is that this bastard dares to alienate the relationship between father and son! We can't bear this!"
  There is no good castrated dog in the world! "

Zhu Yuanzhang is not far away.

Old eunuch Chen looked helpless.

He said silently in his heart: "Although we are castrated dogs, we are good things, Your Majesty!
  This slave is loyal to you.
  No, we are not things, we are good people! "

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "This stinky boy!

He dares to be so perfunctory and disrespectful to our imperial edict. If we send someone to convey the edict again and ask him, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything!

Even if it was a warning, he probably wouldn't take it to heart!

We still have to find out why he sold the salt at this price!
  Lest this kid get into trouble and get himself into trouble, we always value him."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly.

"In short, the tenth brother now has the privilege of entering and exiting the vassal territory, and it is natural for him to travel around the world. I see, let him be the leader!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Xinguo Gongfu.

Tang He was sighing while drinking tea.

beside him.

Mrs. Tang He sat beside her gently, looked at Tang He, and asked, "Why is the master so worried today?"

Tang He sighed: "Today, many ministers in the court are impeaching His Royal Highness King Lu. Your Majesty looks obviously unhappy! I'm afraid that His Highness King Lu is in trouble again this time!"

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang couldn't help being stunned when they heard this.

He smiled bitterly and said: "How long has it been since we have been a vassal? Why did something happen again? Last time, your majesty called you to Yingtian Mansion to issue instructions. It won't happen again this time, right?"

Tang He coughed slightly and said: "I don't know either! I'm just upset! My daughter followed Zhu Tan, and she didn't enjoy the blessings, but she also suffered a lot! Now she still has to worry and be afraid! I regret it so much now!"

Mrs. Tang He was stunned, looked at Tang He, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is my daughter so angry?"

Tang He immediately told his wife that her daughter had given personal money to Zhu Tan and was blamed by Zhu Tan.

Mrs. Tanghe couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Master, our little family is angry when we talk about this matter. How could His Highness see that little money? In fact, it should have been handed over to the two of them face to face!

This will prevent any estrangement between husband and wife! I think my daughter did the right thing! "

Tang He snorted: "What I'm angry about is the attitude of that boy Zhu Tan! My daughter is determined to live with him, why is he not moved, and instead blames her?

How unreasonable! "

Mrs. Tanghe sighed.

After hearing what the master said, she also reacted and felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang He frowned and said, "What I'm most worried about now is whether there will be any problems between the two of them!
  This time, there were many people in the court impeaching King Lu, and the affairs of Changlu Salt Farm and Lu Shang Salt House were indeed done improperly!
  How can you be so detrimental to the public and enrich your own private life!
  If His Majesty is really furious because of this, I am still very worried about King Lu."

Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm just worried, so what can I do? If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. This is the fate of us women."

Tang He snorted: "Just watch, maybe His Majesty will recruit Zhu Tan into the palace again this time to give you some instructions!"

Mrs. Tanghe's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"If Your Majesty really calls His Royal Highness King Lu into the palace, why not let him bring his daughter with him so that we can take a look at her!
  You fell in love with her when you passed by Yanzhou Mansion last time. As a mother, I haven't seen her in almost a year."

Tang He smiled bitterly.

“Madam, now is not the time to care about this!
  What I'm most worried about now is that something really happened to His Royal Highness Prince Lu! After all, he really did something wrong this time. If His Majesty punishes him, what should he do?
  Alas, I really can’t do it, so I can only use my old face to beg His Majesty. "

　After twelve o'clock, there will be another update! Please read it, friends!
