Chapter 97
Chapter 0097 He is more prodigal than the stupid son of a landlord!!
The officials looked pale and looked at each other. You could see the look of fear in their eyes, but no one dared to express it.
You can hear a needle drop in the palace.
Only outside the palace, there were screams from time to time, and the cheers of the people kept coming. Those were the sounds of Hu Weiyong being tortured.
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that Hu Weiyong and his accomplices, the ten tribes, should stay at the gate of the palace for three days and three nights.
Serve as a warning to others.
The most important thing is… from time to time, people from the pro-military captain’s mansion suddenly break in and directly take away the ministers.
Every time someone from the pro-military captain’s mansion comes in, it’s like the king of hell calls them out!
They looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with despair on their faces.
But all I saw was that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to have seen all this, and was just holding a memorial and looking at it slowly.
This morning is simply scarier than a ghost story!
Amid the spine-tingling screams outside, there were already mentally unstable officials who were pale, sweating profusely, trembling, and could barely stand up straight.
I don’t know how long it took.
When the number of officials in the main hall was less than a quarter of what it used to be, people from the pro-military captain’s mansion finally stopped coming in, but the palace door was slammed shut.
Everyone’s hearts suddenly tightened.
In the hall, which had become quite empty, Zhu Yuanzhang’s slow voice suddenly sounded:”Everyone should know what happened yesterday.”
“Hu Weiyong and his associates rebelled”
“The crime cannot be punished and has been brought to justice”
“We dare not say that those who can stand here are absolutely innocent, but 90% of their innocence can still be guaranteed.”
Hearing this, the officials let out a long breath in unison, and the depressing atmosphere eased a little. It was so scary!
It was really scarier than ghost stories!
But the next sentence… made people laugh again. Zhu
Yuanzhang smiled and said,”Of course, it’s okay for the time being, but that doesn’t mean it will be fine forever.””
“In the future, people in the palace may still have Hu Weiyong’s accomplices, but they have not been found out yet, but it doesn’t matter, they will be punished in the future.”
The words fell.
Someone actually made a thud and fell to the ground. Then a civil servant was so frightened that he cried:”Wei Chen has behaved improperly in front of you. Wei Chen deserves to die. Wei Chen deserves to die.””
While he was confessing, he was kowtowing, and the gold bricks were banged by him.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:”It’s just a joke, don’t be nervous, everyone.”
Li Shanchang stood up at this moment, with a wry smile on his face:”Your Majesty, at this time, it’s better not to make such jokes.”
“Does the Korean public think we are joking? Zhu
Yuanzhang smiled, glanced at the many ministers below, and his eyes gradually turned cold:”Do we look like we are joking?””
“I’m kidding you, you deserve it! ?”
There was a bang.
The ministers could no longer withstand this terrifying pressure.
They all knelt down in panic.
“Your Majesty, forgive me”
“I wait for ten thousand deaths.”
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more angry as he watched.
“We forgive your mother’s sin!
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, pointed at the ministers and angrily said:”Hu Weiyong has done something illegal, and it’s not just a day or two. We don’t believe it. You don’t know it at all.””
“Why didn’t anyone come and tell us?”
“How much benefit did Hu Weiyong give you to keep secrets for him?”
“The people we are killing now are only those we have found out, but how many people are there who have connections with Hu Weiyong that we have not found out?”
“If we kill all of you, there will definitely be injustice, but if we kill every other person, there will definitely be something that slips through the net!”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s roar shook the hall, and the momentum was terrifying.
The more the ministers listened, the more frightened they became. Some people even fainted and fell to the ground in panic.
Seeing this, Zhu Biao stood up helplessly and said:”Father, please calm down. , after all, Hu Weiyong is so powerful that the ministers dare not say anything, which is understandable”
“Stop trying to excuse them!”
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, and Zhu Biao had no choice but to retreat.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers with a look of disgust on his face:”I have read the books of sages all my life. How can you say that you are worthy of dedicating yourself to death and dying?!”
“A group of people eating everything inside and outside!”
“Get out of here, everyone!”
The ministers immediately bowed their heads and fled out of the hall as if they were in despair.
After everyone left,
Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry and gritted his teeth:”Damn it, we actually have to rely on a bunch of rubbish to govern the country!”
“If not for the reminder from Heng’er”
“We don’t even know how we died!”
“Father, please calm down.
Zhu Biao advised:”Those who are officials must first protect their own glory and wealth.””
“How can one easily report an important minister of the country regardless of one’s wealth and life?
Zhu Di said disapprovingly:”I don’t think so.” Zhu
Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di:”Tell me what you think.””
Zhu Di said decisively:”I see, these people just don’t regard my father as one of their own, unlike my elder brother, who is afraid of trouble to death.”
“But he directly told us about Hu Weiyong”
“This is what you would do if you treat us as your own.”
Thinking of Zhu Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang’s anger subsided slightly, and he narrowed his eyes slightly:”The fourth brother is right.”
“As expected, only our own family members are reliable”
“From now on, when Heng’er enters the court, he has to help us reorganize the officialdom. In the future, Heng’er will have full control of the court.”
“The world of our Zhu family must be governed by our Zhu family!”
“It’s just a pity……”
“What a pity, Father.”
Zhu Di asked curiously
“What do you think?
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di:”We have so many sons, but few of them are reliable!””
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he couldn’t get angry at all.
He has many sons, and these sons are really unsatisfactory.
The second son Zhu Fang, the third son Zhu Fan, and the fourth son Zhu Di are a little better, although He has a violent temper and often commits illegal acts in the fiefdom, but he is better than having generals who can fight and let them guard the frontier.
But what are the things that happen to them later?
He has no skills, and is worse than the stupid son of the landlord!
Thinking of this,
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed:”Fortunately, we still have Heng’er.”
Now it seems that having such a good son as Heng’er is a blessing from God!
Zhu Di couldn’t lift his head after being scolded, and said sarcastically:”Brother is an immortal, who can compare with him?”
“You can’t just learn more! Zhu
Yuanzhang glared at him and said,”Go to your elder brother’s place and learn more!””
“When I go to the fiefdom in the future, without your elder brother’s guidance, let’s see what you do!”
“Yes Yes Yes……”
Zhu Di responded repeatedly and quickly turned around to run away.
“Wait! Zhu
Yuanzhang suddenly said
“Father, do you have anything else to do?”
Zhu Di quickly stopped and said carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and snorted:”You did a good job in the Hu Weiyong case.”
“Tell me, what do you want us to reward you with?
Zhu Di immediately patted his chest and said,”What did your father say? As his son, I should contribute my share to him.””
