"Great Laws…"
"The punishment for the criminal is banishment…"
Zhu Yuanzhang kept repeating this sentence.
He suddenly realized that he, Da Ming, actually had such a big oversight in governing.
However, how did this mistake happen?
Was it a mistake made when the Ming law was formulated, or was there some other reason?
Qin Mu's loathing towards his identity as a soldier clearly didn't stop there.
"A military household is equivalent to a criminal. There's no glory at all!”
"Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also divided people into military households, civilian households, craftsmen, miscellaneous households, and so on, solidifying their occupations!”
"A single soldier will suffer for generations!"
"There are no restrictions on the civilian household taking the imperial examination, but only one person is allowed to take the imperial examination in each generation of the military household!”
"A military household must have five males to become a minor official in the yamen. However, there were no restrictions on the number of residents!”
"Old Man Huang, explain to me, what's the point of being a military household of our Ming Dynasty, what glory is there!”
"This…"
Qin Mu's continuous verbal attacks had Zhu Yuanzhang dumbfounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang's proudest achievement in his life was to set up an unchanging rule for the Ming Dynasty.
He divided the commoners into four categories: military households, civilian households, craftsmen households, and Yin and Yang households, which were also miscellaneous households.
However, the current household registration system had been criticized by a child. It was useless.
This was a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang.
If he agreed with what Qin Mu said, then his achievements in half of his life would be for naught.
However, if he denied Qin Mu's words, he couldn't think of anything to defend himself.
"You child, how dare you talk about national affairs!”
"I'm not talking to you anymore!"
"Erhu!"
"Let's go!"
Zhu Yuanzhang boarded the carriage in embarrassment and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Qin Mu speak.
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Mu ran to the front of Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage and tore off the yellow stone jade pendant before throwing it into Zhu Yuanzhang's embrace.
"Old Yellow!"
"This thing is too precious. I can't afford it. Please take it back!”
After he finished speaking, Qin Mu returned to the small courtyard without even turning his head back. Following that, there was a muffled bang as the courtyard door was slammed shut.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the jade pendant in his hand. He felt as if there was a huge stone blocking his chest, and tears flowed down his face.
"He actually dared to treat us like this!"
"How dare he treat us like this!"
"Little brat!"
"Do you know what you threw?”
"What you threw is the imperial seal of Great Ming, the throne of Great Ming, sob…"
Xiao Hu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not move for a long time and could not help but remind him in a low voice.
"Emperor, shall we set off now?”
"Return to the palace!"
"I'm so angry!"
"I don't want to see this bastard again, sob…"
Xiao Hu shouted,"Go!" and drove the carriage away.
On the way back to the palace, the curses behind the carriage never stopped.
What bastard, bastard, bastard…
Even after returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Yuanzhang was still furious.
They either smashed things or found fault with the eunuchs, causing panic in the entire palace.
Er Hu sighed when he heard that. He felt heartache for the emperor and pity for Qin Mu.
The throne of Great Ming!
This child actually threw it away just like that!
Just when Er Hu thought that the emperor was really angry with Qin Mu and had given up on him, an unexpected scene happened.
Huang Zicheng, the Eastern Palace's study companion, ran over with a memorial in his hand.
Er Hu originally wanted to go forward and say good things.
After all, the Emperor was now angry with his eldest grandson, and Zhu Yunwen was very likely to become the Emperor's grandson.
Thinking of this, he wanted to do Master Huang a favor and tell him that the Emperor was currently in a fit of anger.
However, just as he took a few steps forward, he saw Huang Zicheng's face full of disdain.
This made Xiao Hu very hurt and he stopped on the spot.
"Is Master Huang looking for the Emperor?"
"Humph!"
"I have something important to report to His Majesty.”
"Alright!"
"Master Huang, please wait a moment. I'll go in and report right away!”
When Er Hu entered the bedroom, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a porcelain jar and was about to smash it.
Er Hu hurriedly shouted.
"Emperor!"
"This is an official kiln from the Song Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"I don't care if it's from the Song Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty. I'm very unhappy now and I want to smash it!”
Erhu added.
"It's very expensive!"
"It's worth a thousand taels of silver outside!"
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment before he gently placed the jar on the table.
"Is this thing so expensive?"
"Pass down my order. In the future, we are not allowed to place such valuable things in our chambers!”
"Yes, sir!"
"This lowly one will immediately pass down the order. However, Lord Huang is still waiting outside, saying that he has something important to report!”
"Which Lord Huang?"
"Lord Huang Zicheng!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his forehead.
"Oh!"
"I remember now. It's Donggong's study partner!”
"Quickly pass it on!"
When Erhu saw Zhu Yuanzhang being so anxious, his heart suddenly turned cold.
From this, it could be seen that the Emperor was really angry and had already given up on the one outside the palace!
Not long after, Huang Zicheng entered the hall. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked with concern.
"But what happened to the imperial grandson?”
"Reporting to the emperor, the Eastern Palace has been in disrepair for a long time. The paint has peeled off in many places. It is really unsightly and an insult to the dignity of the Crown Prince Residence.”
"Thus, this subject discussed with several masters and requested the emperor to allocate funds to repair the Eastern Palace so that the imperial grandson and the others could live more comfortably.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the excitement on his face immediately disappeared.
"Hand over the memorial!"
"Yes, sir!"
Huang Zicheng hurriedly handed the memorial to the eunuch at the side, who handed it to the Emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a cursory glance and saw that the higher-ups actually wanted to allocate 100,000 taels of silver to repair it. His face immediately darkened.
"Does our grandson Zhu Yunwen know about this?”
Huang Zicheng was stunned, not knowing what the Emperor meant by asking this.
However, he still put in a few good words for Zhu Yunwen.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Yun Wen naturally knows.”
"His Highness Yun Wen is filial to his mother. He can't bear to see the Crown Princess live in such a simple place, so he requested us to write a letter…"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for him to finish his sentence and threw the memorial onto the ground.
"What kind of filial piety is this!”
"The country's treasury is empty, but he still wants to build a house!”
"How dare you call yourself filial without a monarch or father!”
Huang Zicheng almost peed in his pants when he saw the Emperor's anger.
He hurriedly picked up the memorial from the ground and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"This matter is due to our lack of consideration, it has nothing to do with His Highness Yun Wen…"
"Humph!"
"Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, I'll get lost now…"
After Huang Zicheng left, Erhu heard cursing coming from the palace again.
"Our eldest grandson lives in such a small courtyard, but he doesn't feel wronged!”
"You live in such a big Eastern Palace, and you feel wronged just because a few pieces of paint have fallen off.”
When Erhu heard this, his eyes widened.
Which of the Emperor's words was true and which was false?
Didn't he say that he wouldn't care about the one outside the palace anymore? Why was he still feeling indignant for the one outside the palace?
