First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao walked into the Wenhua Hall and sat down straight away, while Lan Yu was a little confused, not knowing whether to stand honestly or kneel down happily, because His Highness treated him so well this time, he almost forgot that he was here to be scolded of.

Liu Jin glanced at Zhu Biao's face from the side, then happily led Lan Yu to sit down below, served a cup of tea, and then led the serving maids to retreat.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Lan Yu was the first to speak: "The last general has no face to come to pay homage to His Highness, I just hope that I can die in the battlefield and be loyal to the country, so that I can live up to my blood!"

Zhu Biao shook his head slowly: "Lanyu, I didn't call you here to let you die. I asked you to be the gatekeeper of the city to grind your temper. In the future, I will have a big responsibility for you. It's a pity You can't calm down after all."

Sapphire's eyes turned red, he knew this, if the Holy Majesty and His Highness really gave up on him, they would not let him stay in the capital to guard the gate, but should send him to the frontier, treating him as waste.

But his heart really couldn't calm down. The first few months were fine, and those former colleagues respected him, but now it's been almost two years, and except for a few dead friends, the rest of the people around him have become indifferent Going on, some people even laughed behind his back that Sapphire would never be good again.

Of course, a group of villains is nothing, but he couldn't bear to watch Fu Youde, Li Wenzhong and others dominate the situation and shine on his stage. Lan Yu will never forget the scene of Fu Youde's triumphant return last month. Everyone was riding tall horses, but he could only retreat by the city gate, he was too embarrassed to come forward to say hello...

"The last general is ashamed of His Highness's cultivation..."

Lan Yu wanted to say something else, but Zhu Biao waved his hand and interrupted him and said coldly: "There is no need to say those useless words, I am tired of listening to it, you just need to remember, no one will protect you if you commit another crime , the East Palace does not lack your sapphire."

Lan Yu's expression froze, looking at the familiar face of His Royal Highness, he suddenly felt strange, and a chill came over him, even when Zhu Biao personally went to his house to reprimand him for committing a crime, he never felt this way .

Is the prince going to kick him out of the Eastern Palace?

Lan Yu opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. He also knew that his credibility had been exhausted long ago. After so many years of reckless behavior, will he finally be punished?

Zhu Biao looked at the flustered Sapphire calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stone, not his former confidant and beloved general.

The hall fell silent again, Lan Yu was at a loss, and suddenly recalled that when he was young, his parents died early, and his sister made a marriage contract with someone else. At that time, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night, thinking that if his sister ignored him He just left, so how should he survive, begging for food in the village like those orphans?

At this time, Liu Jin came in to report: "Prince Princess, please see me."

Zhu Biao nodded when he heard the words: "Please come in."

After a while, Chang Luohua led a group of court ladies and wives in. Sapphire cheered up and stood up and looked at her niece. Speaking of which, uncle and nephew hadn't seen each other for more than two years.

Chang Luohua wore a gold hairpin and jade pendant on her head, and was dressed in gold and silver silk phoenixes. She was escorted into the palace by stars holding the moon. Lan Yu was delighted to see that this niece looked like a sister since she was a child, and Chang Mao was like a brother-in-law. , so Sapphire loves her more than her nephew.

Chang Luohua first saluted her husband, then turned around to look at her own uncle and said, "Uncle is still in good health, you should drink less alcohol on weekdays."

Lan Yu looked at her niece in a daze for several times before realizing that she wanted to salute: "The last general Lan Yu will see Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Chang Luohua asked the maids around him to support his uncle, then turned to Zhu Biao and said, "The queen mother sent people to bring a lot of supplements, and there is no room for them in the East Palace treasury. The concubine intends to send some out, and I am here to ask His Highness for instructions." .”

Zhu Biao naturally knew why Chang Luohua came here, but he didn't say anything: "Of course the concubine will take care of the meeting and seeing off. There is no need to ask for instructions in the future, but you are pregnant, so don't worry too much."

Chang Luohua said a few more words, and then withdrew. Lan Yu wanted to say a few words to her niece but knew that she was not that respectable. Her whole body sank, and General Lan, who was still full of heroic spirit yesterday, languished again. .

Zhu Biao ordered directly, "Mu Ying is coming back soon, since you don't want to be the city gate guard, then go with Mu Ying to wipe out bandits and water bandits."

Sapphire bowed to promise, and at this time a eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside: "Your Majesty, please see His Royal Highness, Your Majesty hastened to call His Highness to come and see you."

Zhu Biao got up and went out, Lan Yu also hurriedly asked to leave, Zhu Biao said casually: "Go and see the princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, maybe I won't see you again in the future."

Liu Jin didn't follow Zhu Biao as soon as he heard it, but stayed by Lan Yu's side with a smile, and when Zhu Biao walked away, Liu Jin stretched out his hand: "Please, General Lan, I'm really curious, do you still have a chance?" Enter the East Palace again."

Lan Yu let out a sigh of relief: "Of course there are, you bastard will still have to be called the Lord of our country in the future."

Liu Jin didn't take it seriously either, he knew that if Lan Yu's temper could really be changed, a Duke would be fine, so he led Lan Yu to Chengqian Hall to meet the Crown Princess.

At this time, Zhu Biao stepped into the gate of Fengtian Hall, and there were voices of debate inside, several censors knelt on the ground but their waists were straight, as if they were kneeling on someone else.

Following Zhu Biao's pace, the hall gradually quieted down, and they all silently gave way to the prince. Zhu Biao smiled and passed the censors in the front, and then knelt down and saluted to the high emperor: "My son, please refer to my father, my emperor." Long live."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly: "Prince, get up, Yan Aiqing tell the prince what happened."

Yan Donglai, Minister of Dali Temple, promised loudly, and then seriously told Liu Chun's violation of law and discipline. After his words fell, the voices of arguments among the ministers rang out again.

Yan Donglai continued the atmosphere and said loudly: "Propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not stretched, the country will perish. Liu Chun is only a mere county magistrate, and he dares to violate the law and oppress the good. If such a person is not severely punished, how will he deter the rest of the corrupt officials?" Dirty official!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials frowned and said: "Liu Chun is the son of Yi Huihou, who has great kindness to the country and the king, and his son should be pardoned for some minor crimes. He should be dismissed from office and sent back to Fengyang to let Yi Huihou discipline himself. "

The Minister of the Household Department also echoed: "The Holy Majesty had decreed in the early years to treat Liu's descendants kindly, but now you are going to execute Liu Chun. How can the Holy Majesty be wrong in his golden words?"
