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

Chapter 95 Zhu Di: Father, you have lost your way
Prison Department of Punishment.

It was dim and smelly.

Gu Cheng sat in prison, his face numb and his eyes cloudy.

"Hahaha, Gu Cheng, I will give you a ride." Zhu Liangzu walked to the cell door and said in a cold tone, "What kind of shame do you have to survive? Abandoning the city and surrendering, kneeling down to worship Wang Baobao, huh, you have lost the face of the Ming Dynasty soldiers. It’s over.”

While cursing, he opened the cell door and walked up to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng, who was motionless, raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "When I returned to Beijing with you to plead guilty, you said you would protect my wife and children."

"Hmph! That's His Majesty's will."

Zhu Liang was condescending, with a look of disgust and contempt on his face, "I advise you to commit suicide, don't embarrass His Majesty."

"I can die, but you have to protect my wife, children, and children." Gu Cheng's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

Suicide?

That is committing suicide out of fear of guilt and dying with humiliation.

But even so, he admitted it.

He did not want to embarrass His Majesty, nor did he want the generals to follow suit in the future.

It's up to you to understand your own mistakes.

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhu Liangzu spread his hands and said, "Go and plead with His Majesty. Hum, you can commit suicide and leave your body intact."

As he spoke, he threw a dagger.

Gu Cheng took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the dagger, tears filling his cloudy eyes.

"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate the Ming Dynasty." He shouted in the direction of the palace, his voice trembling.

Suddenly, he raised the dagger and wiped it towards his neck.

Zhu Liangzu had a sinister smile on his face. As long as Gu Chengyi died, all the blame would be placed on him. As for saving his wife, children, and children, he didn't care. It was just a word.

clang!
However, at this critical moment, a cold light flew over and accurately knocked away the dagger in Gu Cheng's hand.

"Who!" Zhu Liangzu was furious.

"Hmph, General Zhu, why are you here?" Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, came over, "Are you trying to kill people and silence them?"

Seeing that it was Mao Xiang, Zhu Liangzu immediately put on a smile: "Brother Mao, are you kidding?"

Mao Xiang smiled half-heartedly: "Who asked you to come in? I remember you were involved in this case, right? Should you avoid it?"

Zhu Liangzu was angry, but he didn't dare to explode.

Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was the person close to the emperor, a close confidant among his cronies.

"I just came to see Lao Paoze off." He snorted, "Goodbye."

He threw up his sleeves and strode away.

Mao Xiang looked at his back and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I was really pushed into a hurry."

He turned to look at Gu Cheng in the prison and frowned slightly.

This time, Fourth Master Zhu asked him to come. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Fourth Master Zhu said that he would give him a reward for his achievements.

……

Taibai Building.

Everyone was talking about Gu Cheng, and two factions were formed. One faction supported Zhu Liangzu.

"Who knows if Gu Cheng surrendered because he was afraid?"

"Even if he wants to give a warning, is it necessary for him to surrender? Lead the troops and fight out of the city, and attack Wang Baobao from front to back with Zhu Liangzu. Maybe he can win?"

"I think he is just greedy for life and afraid of death. He is weak-minded."

The other faction supports Gu Cheng.

"Gu Cheng led a dozen people into Zhenjiang City back then. Would he be afraid of death?"

"Are you attacking Wang Baobao from both front and back? It's obviously a trap. Who is Wang Baobao? Your Majesty said he is a strange man in the world. Even General Xu Da may not win, just because he is Zhu Liangzu?"

"Without Gu Cheng, Zhu Liangzu would have ruined the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of elites!" "Hmph, such a meritorious person should be killed now, how unfair it is!"

The two sides argued fiercely and almost came to blows.

Fourth Master Zhu and Liu Bowen were watching silently by the window of the private room on the second floor.

Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were cold: "Master Liu, what will you do next?"

"Of course there will be another public trial!"

Liu Bowen was very calm, with a smile on his face, "This time, we will make it bigger and let more people see it. Haha, this time, more than a dozen people from Jizhou can show up."

"Are you sure?" Fourth Master Zhu asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty cares most about the voices of the people!" Liu Bowen sighed, "There is only one way to break this situation, otherwise, there is nothing I can do."

Fourth Master Zhu nodded heavily.

He had thought about it, if he couldn't save Gu Cheng, then he would rob him of prison. Anyway, Gu Cheng is now imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment Prison, so jailbreak has become easier.

"The emperor may not want to kill Gu Cheng." Liu Bowen said.

"How is that possible? If Zhu Chongba doesn't want to kill him, just an imperial edict will do." Fourth Master Zhu snorted coldly.

"It's not that simple, and it's hard for the emperor to do it. He has to let the world know that abandoning the city and surrendering is a death penalty." Liu Bowen looked at Master Zhu and said, "But the emperor knows that Gu Cheng is actually for the Ming Dynasty, what should he do? "

"I don't care what special mother does." Fourth Master Zhu angrily snorted.

"Fourth Master, didn't you say you wanted to rob the prison?" Liu Bowen spread his hands and smiled, "Robbing the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, isn't that much easier than robbing the imperial edict prison?"

He had a vague guess in his mind that the emperor deliberately agreed with Zhu Liangzu's report and transferred Gu Cheng to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Isn't that waiting to be jailed?

Gu Cheng was kidnapped in the Ministry of Punishment, and the emperor had no way to kill Gu Cheng. Not only that, the emperor would also burst into thunderous wrath. The Minister of Punishment would definitely suffer, and Zhu Liangzu would also be implicated.

The emperor is still clever, killing two birds with one stone.

But a loyal minister like Gu Cheng can't let him live with humiliation for the rest of his life, right?
In that case, he would definitely be worse off than dead.

"Fourth Master, we will act according to the plan." Liu Bowen said.

"I'm already ready." Fourth Master Zhu nodded.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sulking alone because Queen Ma had recently refused to let him enter Kunning Palace.

"What's so great? We can't live without you?" He clasped his hands behind his back and walked around, "We have so many concubines, which one is not more beautiful than a yellow-faced woman like you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di pushed the door open and came in, listening intently.

Zhu Di's eyes rolled around: "Tsk, tsk, father, you actually said that the queen mother is a yellow-faced woman?"

"Fourth, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang panicked and glared fiercely, "If you dare to talk nonsense in front of your mother, I won't be able to kill you."

"I won't tell you, okay?"

Zhu Di walked in, closed the door, sat down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, sighed, and said like a young adult, "Oh, I'm here to give you some advice."

"Get lost!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily.

"Father, you can't kill Gu Cheng!" Zhu Di spread his hands and said, "If you kill Gu Cheng, firstly, you will chill the hearts of the people of Jizhou. They are left alone outside the pass. How can they defend the isolated city in the future? Secondly, you will chill the hearts of the Ming Dynasty soldiers. Even a fool can see that, if Gu Cheng really surrenders, even my father, you can't tell."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

He raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

However, Zhu Di reacted very quickly, stretched out two fingers, clamped Zhu Yuanzhang's palm, and said like a master: "Father, if you weren't my father, if you dared to hit the leader of the Bombing Sky Gang, I would have beaten you long ago. ."

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang hit Zhu Di on the back of the head with his other hand: "Hey, you dare to challenge me in front of me? Are you here to give me advice?"

　The data is a bit miserable, keep working hard, please give me a monthly vote.
