Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 91 Why are you like that donkey-faced Emperor Zhu?
The atmosphere in the Prime Minister's residence was solemn.

Li Shanchang's face was livid, his eyes were cold, and there was a leaflet on the table in front of him.

Hu Weiyong stood aside, holding the same leaflet tightly in his hand. He glanced at it and couldn't help but snorted: "Zhu Liangzu, this waste, can't even solve this trivial matter? Now it's better, it's causing trouble all over the city."

Li Shanchang took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "We must be prepared to give up Zhu Liangzu."

"What? Are you really going to go to this point?" Hu Weiyong was shocked. He couldn't help but defend, "After all, Zhu Liangzu was successful in retaking Jizhou. No matter what Gu Cheng said, he abandoned the city and surrendered and knelt down to the enemy general. This It’s an indisputable fact.”

"It's clear that there is someone behind the scenes." Li Shanchang glanced at him coldly, revealing an unquestionable determination in his tone, "Yang Xian and the others will not miss this opportunity. Both sides will definitely suffer by then, so we have to fight with Zhu Liangzu cut."

Hu Weiyong felt a chill in his heart and quickly nodded in agreement.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart, if something happened to him one day, wouldn't he also be abandoned so decisively?
Li Shanchang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then ordered: "Zhu Liangzu will come over later. Please cooperate and force him to kill Gu Cheng and silence him."

"Killing Gu Cheng at this time?" Hu Weiyong frowned, with a look of confusion on his face, "Anyone with a discerning eye will know that it was Zhu Liangzu who did it."

"That's why I said to give up on him." Li Shanchang raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "Keeping such an idiot will sooner or later cause us trouble."

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

At this time, rapid footsteps sounded. Zhu Liangzu held a leaflet tightly in his hand and came over in a panic: "Prime Minister, something happened. This is happening all over the city..."

When he came closer, his eyes narrowed and he saw the flyer on Li Shanchang's table. His face showed surprise and his voice trembled: "Prime Minister, what should we do next?"

Snapped!
Li Shanchang slammed the table so hard that the teacup jumped. He opened his eyes angrily and shouted sternly: "I don't care! As long as Gu Cheng and the people of Jizhou who came to Beijing are alive, you can just wait to die!"

Zhu Liangzu's face instantly turned pale, and he begged urgently: "Prime Minister, you have to save me."

However, Li Shanchang waved his sleeves angrily and uttered one word coldly: "Get out!"

"Prime Minister, for my own sake..." Zhu Liangzu became anxious.

At this time, Hu Weiyong hurried forward, took his arm, and comforted him softly: "Liangzu... Liangzu, don't worry, the Prime Minister is angry with you. Come, let me say a few words to you."

He pulled Zhu Liangzu to the corridor not far away.

Zhu Liangzu complained angrily and spread his hands: "Master Hu, I have done a lot for the Prime Minister, right? Now if something happens to me, he won't care?"

Hu Weiyong sneered in his heart, you are really an idiot!
However, he smiled slightly on the surface: "Liangzu, the Prime Minister did not ignore you. He just told me that he would protect you in the court. There is a turmoil in the city now. Your Majesty will definitely ask about this matter tomorrow morning."

When Zhu Liangzu heard this, he immediately became more nervous and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what should I do?"

"Actually, this matter is not difficult to handle." Hu Weiyong lowered his voice and said, "There is a saying that death has no evidence!"

When Zhu Liangzu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yes, as long as Gu Cheng and the dozen or so people from Jizhou are killed, there will be no evidence.

……

Qinhuai River courtyard.

It was already dusk, and Fourth Master Zhu had just come back from outside.

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and Zhu Yuanzhang came in angrily, holding a leaflet in his hand: "This is unreasonable! Who did this? You should be killed for talking about government affairs."

"I did it!" Fourth Master Zhu pointed at himself and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "Fourth Master, what are you doing blindly?"

"Gu Cheng is my drinking buddy, I have to save him." Fourth Master Zhu glared. "Then you can't make up stories." Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands.

"You are just making this up!" Fourth Master Zhu said angrily, "Everything mentioned above is true. Why are you like that donkey-faced Emperor Zhu, who blinded you? You don't believe what kind of person you are." ?”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

I always feel like I've been double scolded.

He knew that it was Mr. Zhu who did it. Jin Yiwei had already found out, and he came here to test on purpose.

"Fourth Master, tell us what's going on." He sat down on the chair.

Fourth Master Zhu did not hide anything from him and explained it in detail.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, murderous intent was evident in his eyes: "Dare you intercept and kill the people who came to Beijing to complain? Damn it!"

The emperor's murderous aura instantly made Fourth Master Zhu shudder.

He held his forehead, why is this guy's focus different? They don't pay attention to Gu Cheng or Zhu Liangzu, but they pay attention to the people who went to Beijing to complain and were intercepted and executed.

This reminded him of Zhu Yuanzhang in Ming history records.

In the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, Guo and two other people from Jiading County went to Beijing with the "Da Gao" in hand to sue the county's chief archer Yang and others for conspiring to oppress the people. When passing through Chunhua Town, Chunhua Town patrol inspector He Mou deliberately made things difficult for the two of them and sent an archer named Ma Mou to ask for money.

When Guo arrived in the capital, he really met Zhu Yuanzhang. As a result, according to the "Great Edict", He and Ma were sentenced to severe punishments. The archer Ma was sentenced to death and his head was hung for public viewing. He who was on inspection was sentenced to have his feet chopped off and the shackles Display the number to the public.

This is how people sue officials. It has been difficult in all dynasties, but it was common in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang even wrote the "Imperial Imperial Edict" himself, in which he encouraged people to sue officials:

From now on, all the officials who are in service and idle in the prefectures and counties of the Chief Government, as well as the old, cunning and stubborn people in the cities and villages, will join hands to suppress lawsuits, instigate and trap people, and collude with officials to harm people in the state. , there are those who can eliminate the sick for the people, meet in cities and villages, tie up the old and cunning officials as well as the officials in service and those who are idle, and bring them to the capital to eliminate the people's troubles and bring peace to the good people.

Da Gao Zhong records: Changshu County official Gu Ying oppressed the people. After the people of Changshu County captured him, they negotiated to lead dozens of people to Beijing as a representative, Chen Shouliu, to complain. After Zhu Yuanzhang verified it, he rewarded several Chen Shouliu people with property and clothing. , and exempted them from three years of corvee service.

Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged the high-ranking officials and ensured that the people could complain unimpeded.

Dare to invite anyone who blocks the way, Xiao Ling!

"Fourth Master, so you have those dozen Jizhou people in your hands?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"They are being protected by me." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "I want to use them to save Gu Cheng."

"Then why don't you go to the government directly? Or hand it over to the Jin Yiwei. Aren't you a Jin Yiwei secret guard?" Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

"I don't believe in the imperial court!"

Fourth Master Zhu snorted, with an angry look on his face, "Especially Emperor Zhu Chongba, he will definitely kill Gu Cheng to warn the generals in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked ugly and rubbed his eyebrows: "Actually, it's difficult for your Majesty to do it. Do you think that if this thing gets started, then all the border generals will surrender in the name of saving the people, then what's the point?"

Fourth Master Zhu blurted out: "Ci'ao, that's because he is incompetent!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and couldn't bear it anymore: "Hey, why are you scolding me again?"

"I'm scolding the emperor, why are you so anxious?" Fourth Master Zhu glared.
