First Prince of Ming Dynasty

A few elderly people immediately shed tears, which slid down their dark and wrinkled faces, and the rest of them also showed despair. How can they seek justice with the nobles.

Zhu Yuanzhang strode forward, looked at the kneeling people who hurriedly greeted him and said: "We know that you have suffered, and someone in your family has been killed by corrupt officials. Don't worry, we, the emperor, will definitely make decisions for you." !"

A middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and said, "Then I beg the emperor to make the decision for me, kill the magistrate Liu Chun, my family of four, and let him force me to be the only one left. Doesn't he deserve to die?"

"We have all heard that the magistrate of that county is your relative from the same village. You must be trying to fool the people below. We refuse to accept it. Then Liu Chun snatched my two daughters and forced them to hang themselves the next day. Dead, my man went to the mansion to sue the officials, but he was caught and beaten to death in the street on the way..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out out out available

Crying and howling made Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion ashen, his fists under the embroidered robe creaked, and Zhu Biao's complexion was ugly and his brows were furrowed. Liu Chun's guilt was already clear, but on paper it seemed that it was a story after all. Just pen and ink.

The officials on the side immediately scolded: "The Holy Majesty has already said that he will make decisions for you, why are you still talking nonsense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled and said in a deep voice: "We mean what we say. Liu Chun has a close relationship with the royal family, but he cannot escape the majesty of the court's laws. Tomorrow, he will be beheaded in front of the county government office for public display. You can all come and watch!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he directly ordered Hanzheng: "Those government officials who accompanied Liu Chun and the Liu family who took office with Liu Chun will be executed at the same time tomorrow!"

Han Zheng promised, those people looked at each other and shouted thanks, but their tone was not very sincere, let alone grateful, but Zhu Yuanzhang could also understand that Liu Chun was doing evil by relying on his power. Liu Chun also had his part in the crimes, so why should the people be grateful.

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say, and walked back to the county government with a dark face. It is normal for Liu Chunzhi to be sentenced to death, but after all, he still has to take care of Xianyi Huihou, and beheading is the limit.

Zhu Biao looked at the bewildered people and told Zhao Huai'an who was behind him: "After the execution is over tomorrow, the family will be given fifty taels of silver in the name of the Holy One. If there are occupied fields in your home, you can record them and send them to me."

Zhao Huaian promised in a low voice, Zhu Biao did his best and there was nothing to say. There are so many sufferings in the world, even the supreme being is powerless.

After the group returned to the county government office, Zhu Yuanzhang went into the house to deal with the memorial sent by the court, Zhu Biao entered the house to accompany him, and the rest of the people dispersed separately, and they were unwilling to hang out in front of the emperor at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously not in the right mood, so he held the pen but did not review it for a long time. Zhu Biao didn't persuade him much, and he started to review it happily. It was originally a memorial that the local government needed to deal with as soon as possible. If you don’t dare to specialize, it will take several days to send it to the imperial driver. Now if you delay it, the day lily will be cold when the memorial for review is sent back.

Zhu Biao was reviewing while drinking herbal tea. In fact, it was not too difficult to deal with, but the officials involved were more important. If Hu Weiyong dealt with it, it would be suspected of forming a party for personal gain.

After the three pots of tea, Zhu Biao couldn't bear it any longer. The memorials he had accumulated for two days were finally processed. Liu An walked in and gathered the memorials and sent someone to send them out as soon as possible, then got up in a hurry to release a handful.

But Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Liu Ying is still our pro-army after all, and has not suffered too much crime, but after Liu Chun escaped from Fengyang, he was just a peddler on the street. After becoming an official, he didn't know how to relieve the people's worries, and instead intensified the persecution..."

Zhu Biao clutched his stomach and said, "Perhaps when he was being bullied, he thought that he would enjoy power one day, so he must let others have a taste of it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time and said: "A county magistrate can commit such a big crime in our name, what about the rest of the place? We want to go to Shaanxi and Gansu, where the drought is severe..."

Before Lao Zhu finished speaking, Zhu Biao said with a bitter face: "Father, if you say so, there will be no place you will not go that day. The drought in Shaanxi and Gansu, the invasion of foreign tribes in the north, the flooding of Jingzhou, and the coastal areas The pirates have started again recently, and the envoys from Jurchen also arrived in the capital a few days ago, and there are so many things that you can't see."

"Let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible. Taking care of the overall situation in Beijing is the fundamental solution to the problem. If you are really worried, you and I have already gone to Huaiqing Mansion, and I just need to go to Shaanxi and Gansu."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, it was just a moment of anger, how can the emperor act rashly, not to mention handing over the power of the central government to others, Lao Zhu himself is not at ease, it will be fine in a month or two, if it takes longer, I am afraid that Hu Weiyong will become the emperor .

Zhu Biao hurriedly said a few more words, and hurried out to solve the problem. He made up his mind that he could no longer think about going to the toilet after approving this one, and then approving the last one...

When he came back, Lao Zhu had already ordered a table of meals, and Zhu Biao was also hungry. Liu An brought a hand basin with a dragon pattern, and Zhu Biao washed his hands and dried them before serving the meal.

Zhu Biao tasted it twice, and it was a bit cold. It seems that the eunuchs had tried the poison first, so they had to be more careful when going out, but it was actually quite difficult to poison the emperor's meal.

The cooks can't have any interaction in private. When cooking, they supervise each other, and there are eunuchs and people from the pro-military captain's mansion to coordinate supervision, and there will be sudden inspections by others at any time.

When the dishes are ready, the eunuchs will take a few mouthfuls out of them and put them on other plates to eat. After a while, they will serve them without any discomfort. On the way the dishes were served, they were poisoned.

All kinds of small methods basically eliminate the possibility of being poisoned, not to mention that there are so many colorless, odorless and delayed onset of ancient poisons.

While eating, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Forget it, you should go back to Beijing too. It is enough to send more imperial envoys to places where the disaster is serious."

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "I really don't have time to go to other places, but it's still possible to go to Pingliang and Yan'an. My minister had this plan before leaving Beijing, and the relief food transported by the imperial court was consumed too quickly."

"Although the inspecting censors who went down repeatedly reported corrupt officials, their grades were quite low, and they looked like abandoned children deliberately thrown out."
