Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Mrs. Li's eyes flickered. She didn't want to put all the pressure on the master. If the master doesn't want this group of people, it's a big deal to go back to the sea.

It's just that this time I followed the master to withstand a flood, and the brothers around me said,

I do a lot of bad things on weekdays, but once in a while doing good things seems to feel pretty good.

However, the poor often do not have so many choices,

Seeing that Liu Xiu's eyes had brightened, Mrs. Li continued,

"In the past few days, His Majesty has cut off all the officials, big and small, from the Anqing Mansion, from the fourth-rank general judge to the ninth-rank petty official, without leaving a single one."

Liu Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help being speechless at Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous tactics.

In Lao Zhu's head, there has never been a saying that the law does not punish the public. As long as a crime is committed, no matter tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people, Lao Zhu can kill them!

And it seems bloody to have all the officials from top to bottom of Anqing Mansion under the knife, but it is indeed the best way to deal with it after thinking about it.

If we don't do this, how can we heal the pain suffered by the people of Anqing Mansion?

As for the vacancy of official positions, there is no need to worry about it at all. No matter when, even if there is a shortage of farmers, there is no need to worry about the lack of officials.

It is so difficult to be an official under Lao Zhu, but there are still countless people who are willing to give it up one after another,

What about the Lu family?

The biggest crime of the officials of the Anqing Mansion is to be in the same rank as the Lu family, so how to deal with the chief culprit, the old Zhu of the Lu family?

As if hearing what Liu Xiu was thinking, Mrs. Li continued to speak softly,

"A group of the Lu family were killed, and another group was dispatched."

Liu Xiu frowned slightly, seeing that Lao Zhu was not that kind, because the Lu family was the natal family of the crown princess, so he would be merciful to the emperor,

Lu's surname is Lu, and he can never be named Zhu, so in Lao Zhu's heart, he must be inferior.

I thought that the end of the Lu family would be to be killed, but I didn't expect a group of people to survive.

Mrs. Li explained, "The incident was reported back to the capital, and the Crown Princess Lu played a book written in blood, crying blood every word, and the Crown Princess Chang pleaded for mercy... I heard that the holy grandson Zhu Yunqi fell ill immediately after hearing about this incident. , still unconscious.”

"Your Majesty felt sorry for his grandson, so he stopped the butcher's knife, and left behind a few direct descendants of the Lu family, who were allotted to King Qin."

King Qin?Second child?

Hearing this, Liu Xiu felt strangely tense,

It is rumored that Mrs. Chang is virtuous and gentle, but she is a person who understands the general situation, so why would she plead for Mrs. Lu?

After hearing that the grandson Zhu Yunwen fell ill, Liu Xiu seemed to grasp a glimmer of inspiration,

It stands to reason that Zhu Yunqi was born and grew up in Tian's family since he was a child. To put it bluntly, the number of times he saw his grandfather is probably only a handful.

How come you can't afford to be seriously ill?

It must be the Lu family who was in the way and taught Zhu Yunqi to do this.

Moreover, after Zhu Xiongying's death, Zhu Yunqi recognized Chang as his mother, presumably it was Lu who played the favor card and pulled Chang into his camp.

What's interesting is that the Lu family is also closely related to the crown prince. Now that the crown prince is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, does he have any opinion on this matter?

In other words, the prince did not clearly express his own position!

Why is this?

Seeing Mrs. Li looking at her with a half-smile, Liu Xiu suddenly noticed that she thought of these things uncontrollably.

This has become a subconscious habit,

Liu Xiu has never denied it, she likes the feeling of fighting wits,

But he really doesn't like it. It's really too heavy to decide the life and death of so many people with just one sentence, and to carry such a huge karma on his back.

Liu Xiu turned sideways again, closed her eyes and fell asleep leisurely.

Dimly heard Mrs. Li sitting for a long time, but finally left with a sigh.

I don't know how long I slept, but it was dark anyway.

Liu Xiu opened his eyes and sat up blankly,

I don’t know if you have ever tried it, sleeping in the afternoon until the sun goes down, and when you open your eyes, there is no one around,

That kind of great loneliness will instantly crush anyone's heart,

"woke up?"

There was darkness in the room, and a voice full of air came,

Listening to the familiar voice, Liu Xiu reacted for a long time and said in surprise,

"His Majesty?"

"Hehe, it's us."

Zhu Yuanzhang lit the candles on the table, and there was some light in the room.

"Your Majesty, how long have you been sitting here?!"

"It didn't take long, and I didn't have anything to do anyway. I heard that you woke up, so I came to see you. Go out for a walk?"

Liu Xiu thought for a while, then nodded, and wanted to get dressed, Liu Xiu noticed a set of dry and clean cloth robes on the bed.

"We already had it when we came here, and we don't know who released it."

Zhu Yuanzhang shrugged, got up and left the room.

After Liu Xiu got dressed, he followed out. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The candle is out."

Liu Xiu groaned, and went back to the house to blow out the candles.

The two walked out of the inn one after another. Anqing Mansion is a big port city. After nightfall, not only there is no curfew, but it is more prosperous than during the day.

The cool and humid sea breeze is blowing, but the autumn sea breeze is still a bit biting, Lao Zhu said,

"We're hungry."

Without waiting for Liu Xiu's answer, he took Liu Xiu and sat down directly at an outdoor wine stall. Lao Zhu called Xiao Er,

"Here are three catties of cooked beef, eight pancakes, and one catty of shochu."

"Come on, sir!"

After a while, the wine and meat cakes were brought up. Lao Zhu grabbed them and ate them. He ate the meat and drank alcohol. Seeing Liu Xiu in a daze, Lao Zhu shouted,

"We can eat half of it. We hate wasting food the most. Don't leave it!"

Liu Xiu was helpless, Lao Zhu was too strong, so he could only grab the big cake and eat it.

Liu Xiu insisted on stuffing the last mouthful of cooked beef, and could barely swallow it with wine.

After seeing Liu Xiu eating clean, Lao Zhu was overjoyed,

"Haha, this is the old man! Let's go! Let's keep slipping!"

The two got up and left. Lao Zhu took out the right copper coin from his pocket and put it on the table.

"Bill, please!"

Liu Xiu was a little curious, and thought that Lao Zhu should just throw out a gold bar and say, "No need to look for it!"

But I didn't expect it to be so accurate, even a few copper coins can be counted clearly,

Old Zhu frowned, and said, "What? We're thinking about it! There won't be one more copper, and there won't be one less!"

Seeing the stingy look of old Zhu blowing his beard and staring, Liu Xiu suddenly felt that this Emperor Hongwu was quite cute,

Corrupt officials take all the money and use it like sand,

And Lao Zhu is indeed so simple that he doesn't look like an emperor. Even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he can try not to spend money as much as possible.

Chapter 250

Liu Xiu was suddenly full of curiosity about this great son of heaven in front of him,

As a university student of history, Liu Xiu naturally learned a lot about Zhu Yuanzhang from books, and the professor of Ming history in the history department also published many articles about Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now, Liu Xiu is standing in front of the living Son of Heaven,

What kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?

After being in contact with Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, Liu Xiu's first thought was,

Zhu Yuanzhang was an old farmer.

Zhu Yuanzhang is more like an old farmer than an old farmer,

He kept his house frugally,

He loves his family the most,

He respects cultural people,

He hates corrupt officials and profiteers,

He has the wisdom of working people...

This is unprecedented in the course of Chinese history,

Never was a founding king like this.

Lao Zhu walked three steps in front of Liu Xiu, and said,

"Do you know when we first killed someone?"

Liu Xiu shook his head.

Old Zhu spoke with a little fear, and said, "When I was a monk, mother, then the mother is the real troubled world, people are hungry and crazy!"

"The refugees were so hungry that they wanted to rob the temple. When they rushed into the temple, the abbot thought they wanted to eat, so he said that there was no food in the temple."

"The abbot didn't lie, we have been hungry for several days in the temple. But the group of refugees grinned and said, they know."

"The abbot was obviously taken aback, then sat on the ground and recited Amitabha."

"The group of refugees rushed forward and ate the abbot alive."

"We were angry and frightened, so we took the big Zen stick that was ringing the bell, and killed them all."
