As soon as Zhu Rong said this, the entire Hall of Heaven's Tribute was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, the officials, Xu Miaoyun, and the others were all dumbfounded.
Was this guy crazy or did he not want to live anymore? He actually dared to drag the Emperor down with him?
No one would believe that Emperor Zhu would let Zhu Xi visit a brothel in the Education Bureau. That was simply a fantasy.
They would rather believe that Zhu Rong, the devil king, had lost his mind and did not want to live anymore.
Even the Crown Prince was trembling with anger at Zhu Rong's actions. He blurted out,"
"Shut up, do you want to die?"
Everyone's gaze fell on Emperor Zhu.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was trembling all over, as if he was going to slash this bastard to death with his sword in the next moment.
Zhu Xiong himself had even received a system notification.
"The host has angered Emperor Zhu. The reward is the formula for the production of penicillin powder!”
"Reward: Modern Explosive Formula!”
"D * mn, two rewards?"
Zhu Rong also felt that he had gone a little overboard this time. If he didn't make up for it,
Old Zhu would probably kill him this time.
The dragon's reverse scale cannot be touched, and if you touch it, you will die.
Even if it was his biological son, it was the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry, but he calmed down.
He looked at Zhu Rong with killing intent in his eyes.
Zhu Biao tried to plead for mercy on Zhu Rong's behalf, but Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to shut him up.
When Lee Shan Chang and the others saw that the situation had turned out this way, a mocking smile appeared on their faces.
As the saying goes, the sins of heaven can be forgiven, but the sins of oneself cannot be saved.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt sorry for the King of Wu and wanted to help him up,
However, reality had already proven that this fellow was a useless person.
They thought that the best outcome of this trip was that Zhu Xiong would lose his title as King of Wu.
However, this fellow had already courted death by stepping half a foot into the gates of hell.
"Speaking of Fengyang, speaking of Fengyang, Fengyang is a good place…"
Zhu Rong didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak and started singing a folk song.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were attracted by his voice.
"Ever since Emperor Zhu appeared, there have been nine years of famine in ten years…"
Li Shan's hair stood on end, as if he had an ominous premonition.
Zhu Rong had never sung this Fengyang ballad to Zhu Yuanzhang before.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the origin of the ballad from Xu Miaoyun.
The father and son had reached a strange tacit agreement to cooperate without having a confession.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to say something, but he swallowed his words back.
"Imperial Father, the last time I sang this ballad for you, I was beaten more than ten times by you!”
"You said to let your son investigate the origin of the ballad!”
"Your son is working hard to complete your mission. I heard that the prostitute of the Education Bureau, Miss Ruhua, is from Fengyang, so I deliberately approached her and asked her about something recently!”
"You can't just let your son do things, but let your son take the blame when something happens!”
Zhu Rong cried as he spoke, wailing like a ghost and howling like a wolf.
Old Zhu was stunned by his ability to throw a tantrum.
When did he ask Zhu Rong to investigate this matter? There was no such thing, alright?
However, Old Zhu also received Zhu Rong's hint.
He finally understood this brat's plan.
He was planning to bite back.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost burst out laughing.
Good boy, this was his son.
The ministers forced him to abdicate. If he did it here today, no matter how unwilling Zhu Yuanzhang was,
Facing the scholar-bureaucrat group this time, he, as the emperor, was a level lower.
Even if he took revenge later, the blow to his prestige today would never be able to make up for it.
Emperor Hongwu, who was being roasted by Li Shan Chang and the others,
He realized that Zhu Rong had handed him a ladder and quickly reacted.
"Zhen asked you to investigate the case, not to visit a brothel!”
"Don't use my orders as a shield. Are you going to the brothel to investigate a case?”
"Tell me, what did you find out?”
"If you speak nonsense, be careful that I will take away your title and imprison you in the high walls of Fengyang for the rest of your life!”
Hearing this, Zhu Rong sneered in his heart,
Originally, he didn't want to directly offend these dukes and marquises of Huaixi, but they went too far.
Don't blame him for exposing it.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Emperor, saying loudly,"
"Your son found out that some dukes and marquises of my Darming Dynasty connived at their families, occupied fertile land, and oppressed the commoners!”
"Countless villagers of Fengyang City died because of these dukes and marquises!”
" In the early years of my Imperial Father, he had set up a senior system for the Ming Dynasty. The commoners could report corrupt officials…"
"All officials are not allowed to stop anyone who goes to the capital to complain!”
"However, according to the information your son has gathered, those villagers from Fengyang who went to the capital to complain have been beaten to death on the road."
"I am the Great Ming Dynasty, and there are so many officials in Fengyang Prefecture, but not a single one of them reported it!”
"The Imperial Censorate is the country's supervisory authority, yet there isn't a single memorial!”
"Your son is heartbroken. Fengyang is the place where my Zhu family thrives. In the ancestral land of the old Zhu family, the commoners were bullied to such an extent. It can be seen that other places in the world are even more unbearable!”
"Your son saw that our Zhu family's world has long been controlled by someone.
"It's clearly something that everyone in the city knows, but you're the only one who doesn't know anything!”
"I beg the Emperor to uphold justice for the people of Fengyang!”
Zhu Rong's words caught all the officials off guard.
Whether it was Li Shan Chang, Hu Wei Yong, Zhu Liang Zu, or Censor Liu Ji, they all revealed shocked expressions.
We didn't expect them either,
The trash that they had calculated together under their tacit understanding had actually revealed such a big piece of news.
Moreover, this guy was lawless.
He actually tried to drag all the officials down with him.
Of course, the most flustered group of people were the people from Huaixi Group.
Zhu Rong's words were directed at the Duke of Huaixi.
How could they not know that they had allowed their clansmen to occupy fertile land?
But how could he say such a thing in front of the Emperor?
The dukes and marquises of Huaixi hated this devil in front of them, but they still underestimated Zhu Rong. How could Zhu Rong bite back so easily?
He continued,
"When your son went to investigate the case, he happened to see Zhu Xian having fun in the Education Bureau. He also saw your son."
"Imperial Father, he clearly overheard the conversation between your son and Ruhua and wanted to silence your son!”
"Think about it, he attacked your son in public!"
"If it wasn't for your son's copper skin and iron bones, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see Imperial Father today!”
Li Shan Chang and the others almost spat out a mouthful of blood when they heard that.
I've seen scoundrels, but I've never seen such scoundrels.
Zhu Xian was beaten by you until his mother couldn't recognize him, and you're still crying here?
Besides, who would assassinate you in public? Was there water in their brains?
All the civil and military officials in the court felt as if their mouths had been stuffed with sh * t.
He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Puff!"
Xu Miaoyun almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Her eyes narrowed into crescents as she looked at Zhu Rong tenderly.
Zhu Xi would always surprise him.
He had actually used such a method to open up the situation in this deathly situation.
"Your Majesty, I'm innocent!"
Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, realized that something was wrong. If he let Zhu Xi continue speaking, his son would be beheaded.
Old Zhu turned his head and looked at Zhu Liangzu indifferently.
The Marquis of Huaixi, who had followed the Emperor from a commoner to the founding of the country, instantly felt his hair stand on end.
"Fifth brother, is what you said true? I'll say this today. If you lie about anything, even if you're my son, I'll kill you!”
"Your son is not lying!"
Zhu Rong's answer was resolute and decisive. Emperor Zhu turned to ask the Crown Prince,"
"It was indeed the son of Marquis Yongjia?”
Zhu Biao bowed and said,
"From what your son understands, it was indeed the son of the Marquis of Yongjia who did it."
" But according to the witnesses, he is the eunuch who is preparing to teach Old Fifth a lesson…"
Zhu Biao quickly explained what had happened. Old Zhu nodded expressionlessly.
"If Zhu Xian made the first move, it's very reasonable for Fifth Brother to suspect that he's targeting him!”
"Your Majesty!"
Only then did Zhu Liangzu completely panic. The officials also became frightened.
The Emperor was planning to lead this matter to a rebellion.
In an instant, everyone felt threatened. It was not that they did not know Emperor Hongwu's killing intent.
These people had come here to gamble on a righteous name and that the law would not punish the masses.
However, the Zhu father and son's actions had long made them feel insecure.
No one could bear the reputation of rebellion.
Zhu Liangzu's legs went soft.
"My fifth brother's personal eunuch is still a member of the palace. If he doesn't break the law, I, the emperor, will naturally deal with his mistakes!”
"Teaching him a lesson without permission is overstepping one's boundaries!"
"Boss, you handled this matter well. That Wu Yongjun has traveled three thousand miles!”
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
Zhu Biao bowed and received the Emperor's order.
"The son of the Marquis of Yongjia, Zhu Xian, the vanguard of the government, visited the official kiln privately. His private morals are corrupt, and he still dares to attack my son?”
"Will he dare to attack me if I don't go against his wishes one day?”
"Your Majesty!“
The killing intent in Old Zhu's mouth was already very obvious.
Zhu Liangzu, Li Shan Chang, and the others were flustered.
"Your Majesty, do not listen to the nonsense of the King of Wu. This subject's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon!”
"I really don't have the intention to rebel!”
"Your Majesty, this lowly official believes in Marquis Yongjia's character. He absolutely has no intention of rebelling!”
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and the other Huaixi officials also mentioned Zhu Liangzu's marriage proposal.
Rebellion was a great sin.
If the emperor were to punish them, they would all be in trouble.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored their pleas.
He looked at Zhu Liangzu indifferently,"
"Marquis Yongjia, my son Zhu Xi can guarantee with his life that what he said is true!”
"Do you dare to guarantee with your lives that you didn't do what he said?”
"Your Majesty, I…"
Zhu Liangzu seemed to be stuck in his shell, unable to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed,
He then turned to Lee Shan Chang and the others.
"Mister Li, I am also very curious. Who exactly is the Duke of Huaixi that my son mentioned?”
"Is it Xu Da, Zhu Liangzu, Feng Sheng, or Tang He?”
"Or perhaps, it's you, Duke of Korea Lee Shan Chang?”
Li Shan Zhang's mouth was dry. Only then did he realize that he and the others had unknowingly…
He was being controlled by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I…I…"
Li Shan Chang could not say a word for a long time.
