Four hours passed quietly.
Model worker Old Zhu finally finished dealing with the memorials for the whole day.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to catch his breath.
"Da da da-"
Footsteps sounded outside the hall. Two Brocade Guards ran to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, something has happened."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
"What is it?"
"Your Majesty, Grand Sun…"
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Isn't it just that Ying 'er brought the Duke of Cold to the Lu family to act shamelessly? We already know about this matter, so you don't have to report it anymore.”
"Your Majesty, I'm not acting shamelessly. His Highness the Great Sun has scolded the Lu family outside the Lu family's gate. There are already thousands of commoners gathered outside the Lu family's gate. If Your Majesty doesn't take action soon, if the commoners can't hold it in, I'm afraid there won't be a Jiangnan Lu family anymore.”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and his face was filled with disbelief.
He listened to the Jinyiwei repeat it again.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang recover from his flabbergasted state.
Why did it only take a short while?
His precious eldest grandson was about to destroy the Lu family that had stood in Jiangnan for more than a hundred years?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression could not help but darken.
"Immediately issue a decree to summon the Duke of Liang, Lu Ben, Grand Sun, and Jiang Du Junzhu into the palace.”
"Yes!"
After all, this matter was a secret of the royal family.
After hesitating for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang added,
"Also, summon Han Country Duke Li Shan Chang into the palace.”
"Yes!"
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shan Chang to enter the palace was because he was afraid that Zhu Xiong Ying would suffer.
No matter what, Lu Ben was Zhu Xiong Ying's elder.
With Zhu Xiongying causing such a ruckus, he would definitely offend his superiors.
However, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Everyone filed in and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang sat high up in the hall with an expressionless face. The Han Country Duke, Li Shanchang, had also entered the palace and was given a seat by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was sitting at the side.
A moment later, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice rang out.
"Tell me, what exactly happened today?”
Without waiting for Zhu Xiongying and the others to speak, Lu Ben took the lead and stepped out.
"Your Majesty, I, Lu Ben, report that today's matter was a misunderstanding. When two of my servants were driving, their horses were frightened and knocked into the Duke of Liang.”
"However, Your Highness is boasting outside my house, causing my family to be humiliated. Moreover, no matter what, I am considered to be a relative of the Ming Emperor. My Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety. I think that it is extremely inappropriate for Grand Sun to act like this and must be taught well!”
Lü Ben was indeed an outstanding civil official. Before Zhu Xiongying could speak, he had already started to bombard the room with a bunch of words.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still expressionless and asked,
"Why did I hear that your family's carriage almost injured your great-grandson?”
Lu Ben seemed to have expected Zhu Yuanzhang to ask this question.
He immediately replied,
"Your Majesty, this old official has already gone to the scene to investigate. At that time, my family's carriage only bumped into the young princess's carriage. The young princess, Grand Sun, and the Duke of Liang were not in the carriage. Moreover, the young princess suddenly stopped the carriage and blocked the road, resulting in today's disaster.”
"Moreover, according to the analysis of the officials of the Yingtian Prefecture, the carriage at that time could not have hit the Duke of Liang. If the Duke of Liang doesn't believe it, we can hand it over to the three judicial departments for a re-investigation!”
Lu Ben exposed the matter of the Duke of Liang pretending to be injured.
Moreover, since Lu Ben dared to ask the three judges to reinvestigate, it meant that he firmly believed that it was impossible for Lan Yu to have been hit.
At this moment, Lu Ben seemed to have victory in his hands.
He glanced at Lan Yu and Zhu Xiongying with contempt.
Hearing Lu Ben's words, Lan Yu immediately became anxious.
"Then I let you f * cking hit me for nothing?"
Lan Yu had just opened her mouth when Zhu Xiongying immediately stood up and said loudly,
"Imperial Grandfather! His great-uncle was indeed not seriously injured. After all, he could still walk up to the hall.”
Lan Yu's expression changed drastically when she heard this, and she immediately opened her mouth to defend herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiong Ying did not give Lan Yu the slightest chance to open her mouth.
"Not suffering from too heavy of an injury doesn't mean that I'm not injured. Grandson just wants to seek justice for the seven personal guards of Granduncle.”
Then, Zhu Xiong Ying's words suddenly changed, pointing at Lu Ben.
"May I ask Lord Lu, from the position of those seven personal guards, could it be that your residence's carriage would not have hit them?”
"So what if we bump into each other? Even if they had made some small contributions, they were only seven personal guards. Wouldn't it be good if His Highness and the Duke of Liang were not injured?”
"As for those seven people, my Lu clan will naturally send an apology in the future.”
He was giving money again!
Lu Ben didn't realize it at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was extremely ugly.
Zhu Xiong Ying coldly snorted and said,
"Lord Lu! They are the soldiers of our Ming Dynasty, the heroes who participated in expelling the Tartar captives!”
"With their contributions, there will be today's peace and prosperity of Great Ming!”
"As the imperial grandson, how can I sit back and watch those who carry firewood freeze to death in the snow?!”
Zhu Xiong Ying's tender voice echoed in the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Lee Shan Chang and Lu Ben were also stunned.
Unknowingly, Lan Yu's eyes had also turned red.
