Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 206 How to punish?
Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple, Great Court Meeting.

In the imperial city, the first bell of the morning rang, and the officials above the sixth rank in Beijing had already gathered outside the imperial city, waiting for Habayashi Wei to open the palace gate.

Boom!Boom!
The morning clock was long, and Zhu Xiongying got up from the bed yawning.

"Hurry up, Your Highness is awake!" Jia Gui immediately ordered the palace servants to come forward to serve him.

Dozens of palace people came in slowly with all kinds of utensils in their hands, and the formation was very grand.

"What kind of dragon robe do you wear for reading?" Zhu Xiongying asked while looking at the robes held in the hands of the palace people.

The dragon robe looks good, but it's heavy. He usually wears cotton clothes casually.

"Your Highness, I'm not going to study today. The crown prince sent someone to pass the message that you will follow the emperor and the crown prince to the court today!" Jia Gui laughed beside him.

"Going to court?" Zhu Xiongying was even more puzzled, "What's wrong with me!"

He has been to the court meeting with the old man a few times, and after seeing the new ones, he just feels tired and flustered. Besides, he is young and not in power, so whether he will attend the court meeting or not depends on the old man's mood.

"Can't we go without your business?" Zhu Biao's voice suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao came in from behind with a straight face, looked at Zhu Xiongying who was still on the bed, and said angrily, "Didn't your emperor say that you will study government affairs in the future? From today onwards, the court will meet you." Just never fall!"

Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt dizzy, "Can I not go?"

Zhu Biao said coldly, "What do you say!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying could only sigh inwardly.

This season is fine, but if it is winter, getting up early and smearing the court, that is suffering.Moreover, the court meeting is not just about sitting in the Fengtian Palace and listening to the reports of the courtiers.If he catches up with the old man's imperial gate to listen to politics, it will be fatal.

"Hurry up and wash and change!" Zhu Biao said angrily again.

This son is good at everything, just one word, lazy!

Surprisingly lazy!

Clap clap!In front of Fengtian Hall, Captain Feiyufu Jinyi yelled loudly after whipping his whip a few times.

"The emperor rises to the imperial court, and all the officials have an audience!"

Afterwards, the palace gate in front of Fengtian Hall opened, and hundreds of officials came in like a tide.

Today, the old man did not come with the prince Zhu Biao, but sat on the dragon chair early, looking down at the officials with a cold face.

When all the officials entered the hall, the first six cabinet ministers, the academicians of the Imperial Academy, and the important officials of the five armies' governor's mansion were also a little surprised. After saluting, they stood according to their shifts, and the hall was silent.

"Hurry up!"

Zhu Biao entered from the side hall, looked at Zhu Xiongying behind him, and said angrily, "Can't you walk a few steps faster?"

"Isn't my son short-legged?" Zhu Xiongying retorted, "It's already the fastest!"

"Your grandfather has been promoted!" Zhu Biao stared.

"It's the old man who came early!" Zhu Xiongying kept talking as he walked.

Zhu Biao was angry, but he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and grandson are here!"

Beside the dragon chair, Pu Guochang knelt down and said in a low voice.

"Oh!" The old man nodded, looking sideways.

"Son, see Father!"

"Grandson sees Grandpa Huang!"

The old man looked at the two of them and softened his eyes, "The emperor's grandson is here with us!"

These words surprised the officials.

In the past, the crown prince stood by the emperor's side at court gatherings. Why didn't the crown prince go up today, but let the grandson go up instead?

Although the grandson of the emperor has a high status, he is still just a child. When he came to court meetings in the past, everyone regarded it as the old man doting on the eldest grandson, so he didn't think much about it.But looking at it today, it seems unusual.

"Yes!" Zhu Xiongying agreed, and stepped forward slowly on the steps.

"Hurry up!" Zhu Biao watched Zhu Xiongying walk slowly, feeling anxious in his heart.

~~
"Today's court meeting, we asked the emperor's grandson to stand beside us to tell you something!" The old man's voice lingered in the hall, "From today onwards, the emperor's grandson will follow us, and the prince will study government affairs!"

When the words fell, the officials were even more surprised.

How old is the emperor's grandson, so he studies government affairs?
The emperor was in the prime of his life, and the prince just entered his prime, so he couldn't wait for the emperor's grandson to study government affairs?
Zhu Xiongying was also quite surprised. He never expected that the old man's study of government affairs was told to his ministers in this way.

"The East Palace of the Ming Dynasty is multiplying, and the foundation of the country is stable!" Among the courtiers, Zhan Hui, the right inspector and censor, came out and kowtowed, "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty and congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, all the ministers followed, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"What's your congratulations!" the old man said indifferently, "Sooner or later, they will be the masters of the house. The earlier they learn to be the masters, the sooner they will get started. We are old, and maybe one day we will leave as soon as we let go. Their government affairs If you don't learn well, how do you deal with the country and the country?"

As he said that, the old man looked around at the ministers, "You all say that we prefer the East Palace, it's not that we prefer the crown prince and grandson, it's that among our sons, except for the crown prince, they are all unworthy!"

"A few days ago, many ministers impeached the two kings of Qin and Jin for their arrogance and lawlessness. We have already found out. They have not been wronged. They have indeed done a lot of stupid things!"

Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "Of course we are not heroes, but in this life we ​​can still be regarded as a character. But our son, not only has no character or virtue, he can't even be a man!"

As he said that, he suddenly said to Park Guochang, "Let those two bastards come in!"

The old man has always been straight to the point in his work.

The officials in the hall parted ways, and the two brothers, King Qin and King Jin, looked pale and walked in vainly, helping each other in.

"My son kowtowed to the emperor!"

The two vassal kings knelt before the courtiers and under the old man's throne.

"Yesterday, the prince took us to practice the family law. Today, the court should talk about the national law!" The old man looked at the two sons with hatred, "Talk about it, these two bastards did such a thing!" What a bad thing, how should I be punished?"

For a while, the court fell into silence.

The courtiers have the ability to impeach the vassal, but they don't have the courage to publicly say how to deal with the vassal in court.

After all, the emperor and the vassal were father and son, and it was fine for them to beat and scold them when they turned around, but they had to weigh and weigh in court how to deal with the vassal's subjects.

"Speak up!" the old man said angrily, "Didn't you get your words like snowflakes when you impeached them? Now that these two traitors are here, why don't you talk?"

"Why, don't you dare?"

All the ministers lowered their heads again, and many quick-minded people were already thinking secretly.

The second king had his belt pulled by the crown prince yesterday, and he was punished by family law.The national law mentioned by the emperor today does not mean to be angry with his courtiers.A few days ago, when the officials impeached the two kings, they did not save the emperor any face.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, civil servants of the Ming Dynasty valued strength of character, and among the courtiers, there were many strong men.

Left inspector censor, old minister Ling Han came out and said, "Your Majesty wants to punish the crimes of the two kings, you should find out the crimes and hand them over to Yousi. In my opinion, what the two kings did in the fief should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple one by one. Review."

"The two kings are the princes, and the Zong Zhengfu should also try it together!"

"Since it is the law of the country, it should be implemented according to etiquette!"

The old man looked at him, "There is no need for investigation or trial. The two bastards have committed the crimes you impeached. Today's court meeting is for how to deal with them! Say, should they cut down the feudal clan, or should they be imprisoned!"
