Father can be an enemy to the country

Wuying Palace.

When the emperor said the word "guixi", Hu Tianci collapsed on the ground, with a faint odor coming from his body.

"Hurry and drag him out." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand dejectedly, RM, no more carpets in the future.

When Hu Tianci was dragged out by the knife-wielding men, he begged and begged while looking at his father with tears in his eyes, hoping that his backer would let him lean on him again.

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but tremble, tears welling up in his eyes, but he insisted not to look back at him.

"Hu Weiyong, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his prime minister indifferently.

"Back to the emperor, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. No matter what the punishment is, I will accept it. This is the punishment that my father and son deserve." Hu Weiyong's tears flowed down, and he said with a trembling voice:

"In addition, I have another request."

"Speak." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"I sincerely request that the Justice Department review this case. No matter who is involved, they must investigate it thoroughly and make the case public. This will serve as a wake-up call to those powerful children like Niezi - let them know that I am a great Ming Dynasty official and the law is as strict as a furnace. Who is willing to show mercy?" Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with some surprise: "That's what you think?"

"Yes." Hu Weiyong nodded heavily and said: "If this is not the case, it is not enough to uphold the laws of the country. We should serve as a warning to others!"

"Look, our prime minister finally didn't disappoint us. Alas, why did you give birth to such a bastard?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then thought of Lao Qi, so he immediately stopped talking and said in a slow tone:

"But you are the prime minister, and you must preserve the state. Besides, you can hold half of the eight meetings, so don't go to court. If the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment comes to you with questions, just cooperate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." Hu Weiyong responded with tears.

"Old man, do you think we're going to hit the mark with this arrangement?" After Hu Weiyong resigned, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Old Man Sun again.

"Medium, mediocre." Old Man Sun quickly stood up and nodded in fear. He didn't expect that what Mr. Mi said was true, and that the emperor in the capital would really make decisions for himself.

"Old Wu, take the old man down and settle him down." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered again: "Not only do we want him to testify when he goes to court, but we also want him to see the murderer's execution with his own eyes."

"Yes." Eunuch Wu responded and said pleasantly to Old Man Sun, "Old man, follow me."

~~

When old man Sun retired, only the emperor and his son were left in the palace.

"Boss, who is behind this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly.

"My son, I can't tell. All I know is that it was definitely not the fourth and sixth son who did it." The prince said softly, "Of course it was not my son."

"We know that if it were you, you would have just arrested the person and brought him here. Why would you have wasted all this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Besides, that person plotted against Hu Weiyong in an understatement. Your brothers are not so good at it." .”

"It's true," the prince nodded, "I feel ashamed of myself."

"This method of taking one step at a time and watching three steps to control people is really a bit like Liu Bowen when he was young." Zhu Yuanzhang slowly speculated:

"But he is old now and can no longer handle it. If something happens, I will accept his help. It should be the work of those younger generations of Jiangnan literati."

"This son really can't tell." The prince said cautiously.

"Don't worry about that much for now, let me go back and let the fourth man check the master's book." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said:

"However, this group of Jiangnan literati did not fight for three days. They went to the house to build the tiles. From the official minister to the small academic record, they all colluded together to cause trouble. They really did not judge the superiority of the official position. How high or low.”

He even snorted after saying this, as if he was unhappy about this.

"By the way, boss, how long has Wu Zhuangyuan been in the East Palace?"

"It's been almost five years," the prince said.

"It's time for him to move his nest, and Song Lian's eldest son, it's not good to stay with you for too long." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "These are all talents, and if they are released, a few more Zeng Tais may come out. "

"Okay, I have this intention as well." The prince nodded and said, "Father, what do you think is the best way to arrange them?"

"Originally, we wanted Wu Zhuangyuan to take over Song Ne's class, but now that Liu is gone, it will be a waste of talent if he goes again." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and said:

"Let him go to the Guangxi Chief Envoy Department to be a counselor. If we go back to Yunnan, it's a place where he can make meritorious deeds."

"Yes." The prince responded.

"As for the eldest son of the Song Lian family, isn't he proficient in Sanskrit? Let him go to Uzang, summon the group of chieftains and living Buddhas, and tell them that they don't need to help when they attack Yunnan, but they can't cause trouble." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"This..." His father's arrangement for Wu Bozong just now seemed reasonable, but as soon as the arrangement for Song Zan came out, the prince could be sure that his father had assigned the two of them to each other.

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Can't you bear it?"

"Haha, it's not easy to explain to Master Song." The prince said truthfully: "Next month he will go to Beijing to celebrate his father's birthday."

"There is no need for him to come from this year onwards." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "We are over seventy years old. What do we do when we run back and forth every year? What should we do if something goes wrong due to fatigue?"

"Uh..." The prince became more and more confused. Unexpectedly, my father would now alienate even Mr. Song, whom he trusted the most.

If it were another prince, he would probably start to worry, slander, and ridicule me, and wonder if my father doesn't love me anymore. Those with severe delusions of victimization even went back to prepare for rebellion.

But Zhu Biao is different from all princes...

He looked at his father's face, which was as round as a silver basin, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, are you hiding something from me?"

"What can happen?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes wandered.

"No, there must be something wrong!" The prince shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice: "Dad, what do you want to do, and you want to hide it from me?"

"Oh, okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered helplessly: "We don't want to make it difficult for you, and we want to be this evil person for you."

"No need, I understand." Zhu Biao said angrily: "My son is already this age, and he still needs his father to protect him from the wind and rain? It's more like the other way around!"

"Oh, okay. When my son grows up, I have to obey him." Zhu Yuanzhang had a complicated expression when he heard this. He was a little unhappy but also very happy and said: "Let me tell you the truth. According to reliable information... Okay, okay, It was the news overheard by the fourth Jin Yiwei that the leader of Chen Qianfu and Yu Xun’s group was none other than Song Lian.”

"Is that so?" Zhu Biao was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

"This group of people gathered together to restore the imperial examination, and there were countless officials who were dragged into the trap by them." Zhu Yuanzhang said depressedly: "Wang Guangyang and Zhu Mengyan are all on their network."

"Wu Zhuangyuan is here too?" Zhu Biao asked softly.

"Yes, and he is also the leader of the Jiangxi Gang." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "He helped Chen Qianfu before and talked about your behavior."

"What?" Zhu Biao was really shocked. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhuangyuan, whom he trusted and trusted, would dare to do such a thing.

ps. Sorry, my child has been sick these past few days and has been coughing all night. It makes adults uncomfortable. I had a headache yesterday and only wrote one chapter. Continuing this morning...
