Chapter 0080 Zhu Heng: Why do you look like my father!
Zhu Heng was also very surprised:”As if you are my father.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he slapped the table angrily:”We don’t care about you!”
“Do whatever you like!”
“It’s none of our business if we get bullied again in the future!”
With that said, he got up and left.
Zhu Biao quickly told Zhu Heng that he was guilty, and then chased him out.
Zhu Di hurriedly chased after him, but still stopped and said to Zhu Heng:”Brother, my father always talks in anger. I did not mean”
“You know, the old man is very angry, go back and ask him to calm down.”
Zhu Heng said with a smile.
Looking at Zhu Di, he also quickly chased out.
Zhu Heng also had to shake his head and sighed. Sure enough, no matter what era he lived in, there was this kind of old man who encouraged people to make progress and prevented him from lying down.
On the carriage. , the atmosphere was depressing.
Zhu Di did not dare to say more in that sentence, but Zhu Biao was still trying to persuade him:”Father, please calm down. This is how I always do, and it can’t be done in a day or two.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious:”Do you hear what your elder brother said is human language?” What is nibbling! He also said that we are not his father!”
“Damn it, where would he be without us!
Zhu Biao had no choice but to smile bitterly.
But Zhu Di muttered:”Why did you bring the queen mother with you when you scolded me? It would be troublesome for the queen mother to hear you.””
“What did you say?”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at
“Nothing!”
Zhu Di said quickly:”I mean, brother’s new horse policy for Beiyuan to raise horses is really a good policy. It can be implemented after the potato harvest.……”
“Implement this shit!
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:”This new horse administration can only be managed by your eldest brother, which is good governance!””
“In the hands of those officials, the New Malaysian government will only turn into a bad government that capitalizes on the enemy!”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the angrier he became, and he shouted angrily:”The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are all a bunch of trash!”
In comparison, Zhu Heng’s talent is even more valuable.
Zhu Heng is irreplaceable, and Manchu officials can be replaced!
But because of this, Zhu Heng’s unwillingness to join the government is a headache!
What on earth is going on ? How can I persuade Zhu Heng?
“Your eldest brother is from the same generation, and you don’t know who to follow! Zhu
Yuanzhang said angrily.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a subtle expression.
“Look what we are doing!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at
“Nothing.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said:”Father, please calm down and persuade me not to rush. I believe that over time, I will be persuaded.” Zhu
Yuanzhang snorted coldly:”Whatever he does, we don’t care.””
“yes……”
Zhu Biao had no choice but to respond.
At this moment.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
The cautious voice of the coachman came from outside:”Your Majesty, Mao Xiang asked to see Zhu Di. His face suddenly turned cold. Mao Xiang was chasing Zhu Di before and used Ma Zheng to assassinate Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang opened the curtain of the carriage, but he only saw Zhu Di in casual clothes. Mao Xiang stood there with a pale face.”
He said with a trembling voice:”Qi superior, Weichen has blocked the entire Taipus Temple!”
“Interrogate all Taipu Temple officials one by one”
“Found a chief bookkeeper of Taipusi Temple who was responsible for allocating corvee labor.”
“Him, he committed suicide in prison”
“The clue is broken”
“Despicable and incompetent! Please punish me! Zhu
Yuanzhang’s face was calm:”Two hundred sticks. Anyone who guards the suicide register will be beheaded.””
“yes!”
“Tracing the family members of the suicide, the Yi tribe”
“yes!”
After that, he lowered the curtains, and Mao Xiang let out a long sigh of relief. Zhu Di frowned:”This Mao Xiang is really useless. He can’t even find out this little thing.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said:”Go to Li Shanchang’s Mansion.””
The two of them were stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang then said slowly:”You just said that Mao Xiang is a waste, but there is no way that a waste can stay with us for so many years.”
“Why couldn’t even Mao Xiang be found out about the person who was plotting to harm a small landowner?”
“Um?”
When these words fell, both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were stunned.
Zhu Biao suddenly said thoughtfully:”Are you saying that the person who assassinated eldest brother is not as simple as we thought? Zhu
Yuanzhang looked at the two of them and said lightly:”Think about it, who could this person be?””
The two of them knew that this was a test of education.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang’s consistent style to teach his children through political affairs.
“Li Shanchang?
Zhu Di hesitated and said,”Is that why you want to go to his house?” But Li Shanchang wouldn’t be that stupid. Zhu
Yuanzhang said:”Think again”
“Is he one of the nobles of Huaixi?
Zhu Biao suddenly said:”Li Shanchang is the leader of Huaixi nobles, that’s why you want to go to him to question him!””
“anything else?”
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask
“The reason why you suspect that he is a nobleman from Huaixi is because this matter is very strange. Even Mao Xiang’s pro-army captain’s office could not find any clues.……”
Zhu Biao thought slowly and said:”The person who can cover up all this must be very powerful.”
“Zhejiang East Group is dying”
“The nobles of Huaixi cover the sky with their hands, and they are the only ones capable of evading the pursuit of the pro-military captain’s mansion!”
“What do you think?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di again.
Zhu Di’s face was uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he said:”I agree with the elder brother’s statement.”
“The only thing wrong with this group of people is that they did it too cleanly.”
“It was just a plot to assassinate a small landowner. Why did it have to be so clean? It should have exposed some flaws.”
“The person who assassinated the eldest brother must have a conflict of interest with the eldest brother. The eldest brother’s cabinet policy broke the situation where the Xungui family in Huaixi was dominated.”
“Among them, the ones whose interests have suffered the most are probably the second- and third-grade civil and military officials of the Huaixi Honorable School. It will definitely not be wrong to find the person who is plotting to harm the elder brother from this group!!”
“There is progress!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di with satisfaction and nodded slightly.
“Big brother taught me well! Zhu Di was rarely praised, and he raised his head proudly:”I am analyzing the cause of the matter from the essence of the matter. This is what my elder brother taught me!””
“Now think about it, how should we pursue this matter? Zhu
Yuanzhang continued to ask.
Zhu Di sneered and said:”That’s needless to say!” Of course, let Li Shanchang find out the person who harmed his eldest brother!”
“Why let Li Shanchang investigate instead of the Sanfa Division?”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
“This move can destroy Li Shanchang’s prestige and divide the nobles of Huaixi!
Zhu Di said with a smile:”Li Shanchang can become the distinguished leader of Huaixi because he can always protect the people of Huaixi.””
“When the Huaixi nobles discovered that their leader was investigating his crimes, Li Shanchang immediately lost all hope!”
“This move can maintain the balance of power in the court!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly with satisfaction and said:”If you kill one Li Shanchang, there will be another Li Shanchang who will continue to be the distinguished leader of Huaixi. What can be done?”
Zhu Di sneered:”No matter what kind of rotten fish or shrimps you are, you are worthy of being compared with Li Shan. He is your father’s Xiao He!” If there is another leader among the nobles of Huaixi, he will never be as good as Li Shanchang! Zhu
Yuanzhang was completely satisfied:”You and your elder brother have indeed learned a lot.”
Zhu Di’s face almost broke out with laughter:”Father, I’m so complimentary, I’m still far behind!””
“Now tell me, how to deal with those who are plotting to harm your eldest brother?
Zhu Di said without thinking:”Behead!” The three Yi tribes!
Zhu Biao frowned and said:”Huaixi nobles are unruly and unruly. If they are forced to panic, I will be afraid.”……”
“Are you afraid they will rebel? Zhu
Yuanzhang said quietly
“Even a rotten fish or shrimp dares to rebel! If they dare to rebel, I will be the first to lead the army to defeat them!”
Zhu Di said disdainfully.
Zhu Biao sighed softly:”After all, the Huaixi nobles are powerful, and they have many generals and talents, so they should not be underestimated.
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, with contempt on his face:”Bullshit general!” They were as numerous as dogs in the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty!”
“Without us, they would have long become withered bones in troubled times.”
“They listened to our command and won the battle!”
“A bunch of losers dare to rebel against us”
“Let’s let them know how we, the number one rebel in the world, rose to the top from the blood sea of corpses at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!”
A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of Li Shanchang’s mansion.
Li Shanchang heard the news and hurriedly came out to greet him.
However, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others in civilian clothes. He hurriedly dispersed many servants in the mansion and introduced Zhu Yuanzhang into the hall.
Then he took his eldest son Li Qi with him. , knelt down carefully:”Weak minister Li Shanchang, pay homage to the superior”
“No more formality, just sit down.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand
“yes……”
Li Shanchang sat carefully on the chair, but he hesitated to speak.
“May I ask what we are here for?”
Zhu Yuanzhang played with a chess piece brought from Zhu Heng and said softly.
“Report back to the superior.”
Li Shanchang said without hesitation:”I don’t dare to speculate on the superior’s intentions.”
“It’s just that Wei Chen happened to want to apologize to his superiors.”
“oh? Zhu
Yuanzhang held the chess piece, looked at Li Shanchang with interest and said,”What crime are you guilty of?””
“Qi reports to the superior. Li
Shanchang said with a solemn expression:”The day before yesterday, Hu Weiyong and other Huaixi officials, a total of thirty-six people, privately came to Weichen’s house and asked the minister to make the decision for them.”
“They thought that Zhu Heng’s cabinet policy had blocked the Huaixi people’s way of advancement, and they wanted Wei Chen to lead them to win another cabinet seat for the Huaixi people.”
“Weichen sternly refused”
“But after thinking about it, I realized that the feuding among the nobles and nobles in Huaixi has become a prairie fire, and they are interfering in the imperial affairs for their own selfish purposes.”
“Wei Chen has been too close to Huaixi nobles and has violated his integrity. Wei Chen is guilty and cannot be punished. Zhu
Yuanzhang smiled softly, looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di and said,”Look, this is the pillar of the country.””
“Serve the public wholeheartedly and have no selfish motives”
“The Duke of South Korea can be a role model for ministers”
“I am so ashamed of myself!”
Li Shanchang said quickly.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di both looked at Li Shanchang with strange eyes, and they were amazed at the old fox’s keen political sense.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look at Li Shanchang with a smile and said:”The Korean father has worked a lot, so why bother the Korean father again? Give us some advice, how should we deal with this matter?”
“Wei Chen thought that the solution was the next step!”
Li Shanchang said without thinking:”The superior should protect one person first.”
“who?”
“Zhu Heng! Zhu
Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang with strange eyes. After a while, he slowly said:”Zhu Heng has nothing to do with the world, why should we protect him?””
“good!
Li Shanchang immediately said:”The cabinet system has damaged the interests of Huaixi nobles.””
“The nobles of Huaixi were arrogant about their merits and acted domineeringly. If they could not solve the problem, they would definitely solve the person who raised the problem. The ministers were worried that they would murder Zhu Heng.”
“Zhu Heng is the pillar of the country, and his subordinates are not as good as the others, so the superiors must protect him!”
“Wei Chen has sorted out the list of Huaixi nobles who gathered that day. Here is the list.”
“The person who plotted to murder Zhu Heng must be in this list!”
After saying that, Li Shanchang actually took out a piece of paper with his name written on it from the brocade bag at his waist and presented it with both hands.
There was silence in the room.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at Li Shanchang as if they had seen a ghost.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Shan looked at it for a while, and then smiled:”Sure enough, we saw the right person.””
“The good guy is indeed our Xiao He!”
“Superior praise.
But Li Shanchang sighed and said:”We know that we are what we are today because of our position. I don’t deserve the name of Xiao He.””
“We won’t read this piece of paper.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,”Go and arrest people for us.””
“Arrest whoever you think should be arrested. Li
Shanchang suddenly shook the paper in his hand and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a pale face:”Sir, I……”
“Not willing?”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang’s slightly cold face, Li Shanchang laughed miserably and said:”I dare to do the work of a humble minister.”
“However, after completing this case”
“Wei Chen implores the superior to allow Wei Chen to retire and return to his hometown. When Zhu
Yuanzhang heard this, he just smiled, looked at Li Qi and said,”Can your father still make a living?”
Li Qi was embarrassed for a while:”My father is a civil servant, how can he be honest and brave?” Zhu
Yuanzhang smiled noncommittally:”Although he does not have the courage to be honest, he has the ambition to be honest.””
“There is still one person missing in our cabinet.”
“Is the Korean public interested?”
The words fell.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di suddenly looked shocked!
And Li Shanchang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief:”Sir, what did you say, sir? But
Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at him with a smile and said:”The cabinet lacks a general manager. After thinking about it, Mr. Han is the most qualified.”
Li Shanchang had a look of disbelief on his face.
After a moment, he stood up in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and said with a heavy head:”Thanks to the superior for not giving up!” The humble minister fights with his old body to gallop for the top! Work hard and never give up even if you die!”
“That’s all.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and stood up suddenly:”Tomorrow, the civil and military officials do not have to go to court. We will wait for you at the altar of sacrifice.””
“Society, Shejitan?”
Li Shanchang was still excited, but he was confused when he heard this.
But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken Zhu Biao and the two to see him!
After going out, the groom hurriedly waited on Zhu Yuanzhang to get into the car.
But Zhu Yuanzhang just pretended Waving his hands, he strolled down Hongwu Street, which was named after the reign of the emperor.
It was already dark and the curfew was in effect.
There was no one on the road, and the father and son were walking casually.
Occasionally, a patrolling government official saw the three of them and was about to leave. When he came to ask questions, he was stopped by the guards who came out of nowhere.
Zhu Di followed suit, but his face was also confused:”Father, why did you let Li Shanchang be the chief assistant?”
“This, he had offended his elder brother before! Zhu
Yuanzhang smiled noncommittally and said,”Biao’er, what do you think?””
Zhu Biao said thoughtfully:”It is true that Li Shanchang has offended his eldest brother, but after he handles this case, he will die from the Huaixi nobles.”
“Wings gone”
“He is no longer a threat to his elder brother”
“And his ability and qualifications are indeed the first among all ministers, and the position of chief assistant belongs to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled:”What else?””
Zhu Biao thought slowly and said:”And… the case he handled was to eliminate political enemies for his eldest brother.”
“In the eyes of others, he became the person who protected his elder brother”
“Regardless of whether he wants it or not, in fact, he has become the eldest brother’s knife!”
