First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Bing continued to wave his hoe and said, "My fourth son and I went to see him first this morning, and we were howling with our buttocks sticking out."

Zhu Di on the side sneered and said, "I think it's pretty good. If he doesn't rest, he's really going to die."

Zhu Biao followed suit with a smile, and turned his gaze to Fengtian Hall. The morning court had begun, and the impeachment of the county magistrate Lan Yu whipped to death should also be held. It should have been nothing serious. The risk of offending the crown prince and King Kaiping is more entangled.

In addition, Sapphire himself is also a hob meat, as long as he is not dead, he will definitely take revenge on those who dare to impeach him, even if he will not kill him, but Sapphire has no pressure to beat his family's children with a sap.

But after yesterday's incident, this incident may not only be Lanyu's affairs, it may become a platform for political standing, Zhu Biao's status is detached, and there are not many opportunities to be interviewed in front of him.

After that, they didn’t say anything more. The three brothers began to work under the guidance of the two household officials. In fact, there was nothing to teach.

After two or three hours, the three brothers were all disheveled, and the ravine was not too smooth, but it was not bad for this noble man who had never worked in the field.

The two officials from the household department were also very surprised. They both thought that the three His Royal Highnesses were probably going to be lazy and fool them. Bad but extremely serious.

The little eunuchs of the three were sitting around uneasy, and never said that their highness was working hard and they were watching the fun. Now this scene made them feel extremely uneasy, even terrified. For people like them Said, not afraid of dirty work and hard work, I am afraid that I am useless.

Zhu Bing nailed the hoe into the ground fiercely, spit on the ground full of earthy saliva, then wiped his dry lips with his sleeve, waved to his personal eunuch, and immediately someone came over with tea .

Zhu Xie took a sip, then turned his head and vomited on the ground, then kicked the eunuch's ass: "Are you stupid? How can you quench your thirst with such hot tea!"

Damn slaves! This servant deserves to die, please calm down, this servant will go get water..."

Listening to the noise, Zhu Biao straightened his waist and moved his swollen wrists. Liu Jin immediately walked over with a gourd in his hands. Zhu Biao took a mouthful of it, and then spit it out on the ground, feeling that the smell of earth in his mouth was less. , before drinking again.

After drinking it, he threw it to Zhu Xi who was at the side. It contained herbal tea, specially prepared by Liu Jin this morning. Liu Jin came from a bitter background, and when he was a child, he often went to work with his father and brother. Naturally, he knew that drinking cold tea would make him feel better when he was tired and thirsty. .

Zhu Bing was also polite, and after finishing drinking, he handed it to Zhu Di who was beside him. The three of them looked at each other and laughed inexplicably. up.

At noon, before Liu Jin and the others went to arrange meals, the sesame seed cakes and herbal tea arranged by Lao Zhu arrived, and the three of them had time to sit down and eat some cakes.

Although the meals of the princes are not extravagant due to the arrangement of Empress Ma, there are vegetables and meat in each meal. The bland food such as sesame seed cakes has always been unpopular with the princes. It should be said that only Lao Zhu in the palace likes to eat this. stuff.

They found a pavilion at random, and after cleaning their hands, the disgraced three brothers began to gnaw on the sesame seed cakes with herbal tea. Not to mention, the taste was really good, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became.

Zhu Biao leaned on a beam and bit a sesame seed cake and asked with a smile: "My third child, which one is more tiring to dig the ground and play with stone locks?"

Zhu Po smiled wryly and said, "It's not the same, I don't feel the same tiredness."

Zhu Biao laughed a few times and waved to Liu Jin: "Tell me."

"Cao Rong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, impeached Lanyu for arbitrarily lynching and whipping to death an official ordered by the court, and asked the Holy One to punish Lanyu severely. All attached."

Zhu Biao's demeanor was calm, but Zhu Yu and Zhu Di frowned when he heard it. Lan Yu really committed another crime, and this time it seemed that the trouble was quite big. .

Liu Jin continued to relay the news that he had just received from Liu An and Zhao Huai'an. These two people were sent by him to serve in Fengtian Hall early in the morning, in order to keep a good record of what they had seen and heard in court.

When Liu Jin finished speaking, Zhu Biao had just finished eating a whole pancake. Although he was full, he felt a little choking. He quickly drank a big mouthful of herbal tea, then tore off half a pancake from the lunch box, and began to chew slowly.

Hearing the rare news, the two brothers didn't care about being hungry. Although they were princes, they were still not qualified to go to court, and they didn't have the courage to inquire about the government affairs of the temple. Such information is necessarily out of date.

And what Liu Jin is talking about now is fresh news that happened just one or two hours ago. Both Zhu Yu and Zhu Di listened eagerly with bright eyes. The more they couldn't get in touch, the more curious they were about that world.

However, with the current political wisdom and political sense of the two of them, it is difficult to extract the essence from those high-sounding words. Those are what the officials want to express, and only by understanding these can they participate in this game .

After hearing this, the two looked at each other. Although they didn't quite understand, they could tell that some wanted Lan Yu to die, some wanted Lan Yu to suffer, and some wanted to keep Lan Yu...

"Brother, just the two of us can do the work in the afternoon, why don't you go to work, and don't let Lan Yu really die."

Zhu Di also nodded and said: "We have hoeed almost half of the land painted by my father, brother, let's get down to business."

Zhu Biao shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just a lot of thunder and rain, let's dig the ground with the two of you."

Regardless of the Huan called by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Zhongshu Province, Yushitai, and even the participation of people from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, it is actually nothing. The impeachment of Lan Yu by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Yushitai is normal. If they don't impeach Lao Zhu They must be punished for the crime of dereliction of duty.

As for the participation of several officials from Zhongshu Province, it was to express their views on behalf of Hu Weiyong, but listening to his words did not really mean murder. It's nothing more than a pawn.

It would be too disappointing if Zhu Biao couldn't sit still in such a small scene and wanted to end in person. Zhu Biao's end would only be a final decision. decent.

What's more, Lan Yu did something wrong in the end, lynching the court officials is a crime, since it violated the rules, then Zhu Biao, as the maker and defender of the rules, can never protect him in the open, even if Zhu Biao ends up It is a statement demanding severe punishment for Sapphire.

If even the crown prince took the lead in violating the court laws, what majesty does this law have?

Without the rules, what majesty does the prince Zhu Biao have?

A square cannot be formed without rules, and a country cannot be formed without laws. Rules and laws are the cornerstone of governance, and Zhu Biao's legal orthodoxy also comes from this system.

And today seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is just a hot spot, and the nobles are silent without watching. If it is really time to decide Sapphire's life and death, how can the nobles of the Chang line sit still? Sapphire is the future Often the banner bearer.

Not only the Chang line, but even the civil and military members of the East Palace line will help. Before Zhu Biao makes a decision, before Lan Yu lives or dies, he is the pillar of the East Palace line.

It would be fine if it was normally judged by the Holy Majesty, but if someone wants to take this opportunity to attack the prince, then they will never tolerate it, otherwise, if there is one, there will be two, and no one wants to become the next target of the enemy.

Zhu Di asked suddenly: "Although Lan Yu is impulsive, she would not act like this. That county magistrate is already a capital crime, so why rush to execute him personally?"

The corner of Zhu Wang's mouth twitched and said, "Fourth, do you really think that Lan Yu didn't do this? Why do I think it's normal? To be honest, when I heard that he was going to lead the army to suppress the bandits, I had a premonition that he was definitely If you want to cause trouble, although this matter is very abnormal, it is very normal if it is placed on Sapphire."

Zhu Biao: "..."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at each other. In fact, they also thought it was normal for Lan Yu to do such a thing. If he went out for a long time and didn't cause any trouble, that would be the biggest abnormality.

Liu Jin bowed beside him and explained: "I heard that the county magistrate was related to the Caisheng cutting case. General Lan was so angry that he not only flogged the county magistrate to death, but also executed the guards and 20 criminals involved in the case. The rest of the name..."

Zhu Wang was stunned and said, "Caisheng cut off? What kind of case is this?"

"this……"

Zhu Biao's complexion was deep, and it was because of Cai Sheng's cutting off that Zhu Biao was not so angry with Lan Yu this time, and even prepared to save him, which is why Mu Ying sent a letter to ask for it.

Although Zhu Wang and Zhu Di often go out to play in the palace, they are princes after all, and they can't be contacted by ordinary low-level people. In addition, the best place under the emperor's feet in the capital, Cai Sheng Zhe cut has not rushed to develop here.

His Royal Highness Liu Jinjian nodded slightly and explained to the two princes who were somewhat confused: "My Highness, there are three kinds of so-called harvesting and cutting. , take its ears, eyes, viscera, etc., and use it to make medicine, to deceive patients and cure all diseases."

"The other is to sacrifice to evil gods. They capture living people, tie their hands and feet with hemp rope, and beat them to death behind the head. The second time, they use a sharp knife to cut open their belly, take out their hearts, liver, spleen and lungs, goug out their left and right eyes, and cut off their hands and ten fingers. With ten fingers on the feet, use paper money and wine to sacrifice to the gods such as Yunxiao and Five Mountains"

"These two kinds are relatively rare so far. Most of them are beggars and traders who stray young children, use knives, axes and other methods to turn him into strange and disabled monsters, and use them for begging performances to earn money. The methods are extremely cruel. Dare to speak too much to fear His Highness's ears, this is the case of General Lan."
