Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 68 Routines
In fact, Zhu Xiongying was not surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's severe punishment.

The old man is an emperor who crawled out of the dead. His experience has created his cruel side.

After returning to the imperial city, Zhu Yuanzhang went back to the bedroom angrily, and Zhu Biao took Zhu Xiongying back to the East Palace.

"Is father worried?" Zhu Xiongying asked Zhu Biao who had just changed into his robes in the Hall of Spring Harmony.

Zhu Biao sat on the throne, "How do you know?"

"You frowned all the way!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

Zhu Biao smiled, "Then guess what I'm thinking about?"

"Are you thinking about how to protect the Marquis of Linchuan?" Zhu Xiongying sat down next to Zhu Biao and said, "It's definitely not a good thing for the emperor to pass on the marquis of Linchuan to the palace. He can protect Linchuan under his anger." Hou's, only you!"

"I'm not thinking about how to protect him!" Zhu Biao sighed slightly, "I was thinking, how can we not let your grandpa kill him in a fit of anger." He said with a wry smile, "In the past few years, it seems that there is no peace. In fact, because of Hu Weiyong's case, among the heroes and nobles, people are panicking."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing again, "What are you talking about with me, you kid, you don't understand!"

"I understand!" Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "You are actually thinking that the matter of Linchuan Marquis Hu Mei is not uncommon among nobles. Don't let the old man use excuses to vent his anger on other nobles !"

Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes full of approval.

"But the Marquis of Linchuan did make a mistake. The honorable officials of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to do business. If he violates the law, he is breaking the law!" Zhu Xiongying continued, "And as you have seen, it's just that the shopkeeper of a cloth shop in his family can instigate officials , bullying the market!"

"My son thinks, this is definitely not the first time. If it is not dealt with harshly, it will definitely not be the last time. Today's incident was seen by the three of us, and there may be many others who can't see it."

"What you said is right!" Zhu Biao leaned on the chair on the throne. "Being an official and doing business has never been banned in all dynasties. People are greedy, and the most difficult thing to let go is a word of money!" He said, frowning again. , "Just talking about those nobles, my father doesn't know that they have some mistakes in private, but if some things are too harsh, it's too late!"

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish!" Zhu Biao continued, "There are some things in this world that can't be eradicated by manpower, and can only be controlled with all efforts."

Although Zhu Xiongying is young, his soul is not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything. He doesn't completely agree with Zhu Biao's words, but he has to admit that there are some truths.

As long as there are people, greed, and power in the world, many things cannot exist.

Furthermore, from Zhu Biao's point of view, what he has to consider is the stability and balance of the court, as well as people's hearts.

The stable status of his prince is not only because he is the eldest son of the Zhu family, but also because of the favor and trust of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.It is also inseparable from the support of these courtiers and nobles.

At this moment, Zhen Buyi, the head eunuch of the East Palace, came in and knelt down, "Prince, please see me, Marquis of Linchuan!"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "No see!"

"Yes!" Zhen Buyi kowtowed and stepped back.

"Father, didn't you want to protect him? Why didn't you see him?" Zhu Xiongying asked curiously.

"You are still too young, I can't figure out the joints!" Zhu Biao said with a smile, "He is here to beg your father, if I agree with my heart, will this favor be worthless?"

Zhu Xiongying thought about it and pondered for a moment.Looking at Zhu Biao's slightly honest face, he thought to himself, "My father, this kind of routine is really easy to master!"

Zhen Buyi walked in quickly again, "Prince, the Marquis of Linchuan said that if you don't see him, he will be knocked to death outside!"

"Oh, threaten Gu?" Zhu Biao was furious, "Go, tell him, there is a jade railing at the door, he will kill one and show Gu!"

"Yes!" Zhen Buyi went down again.

After waiting for a while, a hysterical shout suddenly came from outside, "Prince, don't you save the old minister? Prince, prince, prince!"

On the throne, Zhu Biao was full of anger, "Let him get out!"

Moments later, Hu Mei, the Marquis of Linchuan with white beard and hair, crawled in with tears all over her face.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Zhu Xiongying suddenly wanted to laugh.

Hu Mei is two years older than the old man, but she married her eldest daughter to the old man as a concubine
When the old man married Concubine Hu Shun, she seemed to be in her teens, right?

"Prince!" Hu Mei kowtowed and cried loudly, "Save the old minister! Save the old minister!"

"Shut up, what is the dignity of a majestic marquis?" Zhu Biao said angrily, "You still want to knock to death outside the lonely door? You knock, why don't you knock?"

Hu Mei cried, "Prince, if you don't see the old minister, the old minister really has nothing to do!"

"Why didn't Gu see you? Don't you know? Your father sent you, but you came to see Gu first. What's your intention?" Zhu Biao patted the armrest of the throne and said angrily.

Hu Mei took two steps on her knees, and cried loudly, "I know that I have caused trouble, so how dare I go to see the emperor!" Weeping, she said, "It's because the minister didn't manage well, and the servant perverted the law. The minister knew he was wrong, and he has already been tied up by the servant." The shopkeeper has been sent to Dali Temple!"

"I have a heart of repentance, please the crown prince save my life. If you don't save me, the emperor will be furious, how can I survive!"

"You don't think of the old minister's merits, but also for the sake of Concubine Shun and King Xiang, save the old minister!"

Zhu Biao remained silent, "You should bear the responsibility for the mistakes you made yourself. How can I save you? If I save you today, if someone breaks the law in the future, do you want to save me?"

"Prince, if you don't speak, the old minister will really have no way out."

~~
"You are a killer!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's loud voice came from outside the hall.

The Zhu family's father and son were fine, but Hu Mei lost her mind in an instant, kneeling and trembling in a low voice.

Don't look at the majesty of these veterans and nobles outside, even if they are old, they are unambiguous in fighting and killing people.But as long as they meet the old man, they will behave like cats.

"My son has seen his father!"

"Grandson has seen Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang came in with his hands behind his back, and the Zhu family father and son hurriedly saluted.

Hu Mei kowtowed heavily, crying uncontrollably, as if she had died.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, leaned over to look at Hu Mei, "Are you brave? We sent you into the palace, and you didn't come to see us first, so you ran to our son and cried!" He said angrily, " No one can save you today!"

"Your Majesty!" Hu Mei raised her head with tears in her eyes, "I know I'm wrong, I'm confused, I do some business in private, just thinking about leaving more money for my children and grandchildren. I never thought that the slaves would rely on the old minister's name , doing mischief outside!"

"The old minister was wronged! Your lord, the old minister really didn't know, and he was also deceived by those servants!"

Dong dong, Hu Mei's kowtows sounded all over the hall.

"I beg the emperor, for the sake of the old minister's loyalty, please spare me this experience!"

Zhu Xiongying noticed that the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes was still under control.After Hu Mei cried and begged, the anger in the old man's eyes rose up instead, like a flame.

"Still sophistry!"

With a bang, the old man kicked Hu Mei over, still not relieved, picked up the vase next to it, and made a click.
