"How can the Imperial Court's announcement to the world be false?”
Zhu Yunwen said without hesitation.
Although Zhu Yunwen was rigid, he was not stupid.
From the meaning of Zhu Rong's words and his grandfather's attitude, he knew that this case was not as simple as he thought.
But he could not change his words!
As a member of the royal family, could he still question the imperial court?
As the imperial grandson, could he still question the imperial edict that his grandfather had set down to announce to the world?
Moreover, he had already stated his position on Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang's case. If he changed his stance now, he would be slapping himself in the face!
This devilish brat was really rigid.
Zhu Rong shook his head. If it wasn't for the two strings of notes, he really wouldn't bother to deal with this stubborn fellow.
"Then let me ask you, why did Li Shan Chang want to rebel? What is he after?"
"As one of the founding fathers of the country, he is ranked first among the meritorious officials. He is the Duke of Korea, the Grand Preceptor, the Left Prime Minister of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, and the head of all officials. He is also related to the current Emperor by marriage, and his son is the eldest princess of the current dynasty.”
"His status has already reached such a high level. Why would he still put his entire family's lives on the line and rebel with Hu Weiyong? What is he after?"
"Could it be that after the rebellion is successful, he will receive better treatment?”
"This…"
Zhu Rong's question was to defeat the enemy in one move and kill him in one step. Zhu Yunwen was speechless.
He also did not understand why Li Shan Chang followed Hu Weiyong to rebel.
As an official, Li Shan Chang had already received the highest respect as an official in the Ming Dynasty. It was already over!
But why did he still rebel with Hu Weiyong?
Even if he and Hu Weiyong succeeded in their rebellion, wouldn't that be all he could get? At most, I'll add a title of king when I was alive
However, was it possible to put the lives of his entire family on the line just for the title of a prince?
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's dumbfounded look, Zhu Xi knew that the other side had basically surrendered. He then asked,
"Do you know what Xie Jin and Wang Guo use?"
"Two years after Li Shan Zhang was killed in the Hu Weiyong case, which was also last year, Xie Jin, who was a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Wang Guoyong, a doctor of the Ministry of War, wrote a letter to the current Emperor to seek justice for Li Shan Zhang!”
"If anyone dared to get involved in a major case and advise, they would definitely be punished by the current Emperor as accomplices!”
"However, the current Emperor did not pursue Xie Jin and Wang Guoyong's crimes. Instead, he allowed them to live well!”
Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth in shock.
He instantly understood why Zhu Rong told him about this.
Since his grandfather did not punish Xie Jin and Wang Guoyong, it was obvious that his grandfather had silently agreed that Li Shan Chang was wronged!
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang carefully.
However, he found that his royal grandfather was looking at Zhu Rong. He nodded slightly and said,"Are you saying that the current Emperor actually knows that Li Shan Chang was wronged?”
"What else?"
Zhu Rong didn't comment and asked back.
"Otherwise, do you think that with the current Emperor's decisive personality, he would let Xie Jin and Wang Guoyong off so easily?”
After a pause, Zhu Xiong continued,"But this matter is actually hard to say."”
"Actually, Li Shan Chang is not wronged.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows." Oh? What do you mean?"
"Well, Li Shan Chang was indeed wrongly accused of treason. But this did not mean that Lee Shan Chang should not be killed! It's a ghost who died in vain!"
"The water here is deep!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed." How deep is the water here?”
"Do you know the real reason why His Majesty wants to kill Li Shan Chang?" Zhu Xiong asked in a low voice.”
"What is it?" asked Zhu Yuanzhang.”
Zhu Rong confidently tapped the table and said,""The first point is that they formed a clique!”
"As the emperor, one of the most taboo problems for his subjects is that they form cliques!”
"In the past dynasties, how many government affairs have been destroyed by cliques! In the Han Dynasty, there was the disaster of party proscription, in the Tang Dynasty, there was the struggle between Niu and Li, and in the Song Dynasty, there was the struggle between the old and the new!”
"Ever since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Huaixi literati group led by Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong and the Zhedong literati group led by Liu Ji and Yang Xian have been fighting each other in the imperial court.”
"As long as the reigning emperor is not a muddle-headed emperor, he will definitely not tolerate Li Shan Chang and Hu Weiyong, not to mention the current emperor who has fought his way out of a mountain of knives and a sea of blood!”
"How could the current Emperor allow them to ruin this beautiful land that he had spent so much effort to conquer and prepare to make the country prosperous?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded." What else?”
"The second taboo was that Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong defeated the Eastern Zhejiang Scholars Group led by Liu Ji!" Zhu Rong replied steadily.”
"Fell?"
Zhu Yunwen laughed." What kind of taboo is this?”
"Since they are mortal enemies, shouldn't we defeat them?”
"Don't tell me we should let them off and shake hands with them?”
Glancing at Zhu Yunwen who was sneering, Zhu Xi shook his head and didn't bother to argue with him.
"That's why I don't want to talk to you about this. You're clearly a child, but you like to pretend to know what you don't know and pretend to be an adult!”
"However, the water here is too deep. It's not something a child like you can grasp!”
"If it weren't for your grandfather, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you!”
Zhu Yunwen's face turned red.
"You what?"
Zhu Rong coldly swept his gaze over.
"Do you think that the struggles in the officialdom are like kids fighting? You punch me, and I slap you back. Once your eyes turn red, you have to draw your swords and fight to the death!”
"Political struggles and political games are far from as simple as you think!”
"Do you know what the emperor wants the most among his subjects?”
Zhu Yunwen choked and her mind went blank.
He really did not know how to answer this question.
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said with interest,"What is it?"
Zhu Rong cleared his throat and said solemnly,""Restriction and balance!"
" The officials are fighting against each other, restricting each other, and balancing each other. This is the only way to show the supremacy of the emperor and the nobility of the imperial power!”
"Only when the officials fight against each other and not when they are united will they not unite and threaten the emperor!”
"On the contrary, the emperor can mediate and mediate, control the situation, and appease the people.”
" At that time, no matter how the ministers fought, no matter if one side grew or the other, the emperor would always be high and mighty, the one and only ultimate winner!”
Pausing for a moment, Zhu Xiong uttered these words in a low voice.
"This is the Emperor's Heart Technique!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly shook.
