Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao waited until midnight before leaving.
Lan Shenxing stood outside the door and looked at the departing carriage. He heaved a sigh of relief.
It was safe for him to stay in Ying Tian.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Today was New Year's Eve.
The vast Ying Tian City was filled with cheers. The officials and citizens were all preparing for the arrival of the Spring Festival.
As everyone knew, Zhu Yuanzhang was very hardworking. Even he didn't have a holiday, let alone his officials.
When the country had just been established, there was only one day off for the Spring Festival every year.
This phenomenon caused many officials to complain.
Hence, he decided to do it.
After a deep self-reflection, Mr. Zhu realized his mistake.
Finally.
Two years ago, the Spring Festival holiday was changed to…
Three days!
Although this still made the officials feel helpless, at least they could spend the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival at home.
Of course.
Whether or not he took a break was useless to Lan Shenxing.
Because of him, she was on vacation almost every day.
It was no exaggeration to say that.
In the entire eight years of Hongwu, the only major thing he did for the court was to personally go to Jiangnan and deal with the Shen family.
As the saying went.
Some people were happy while others were sad.
Just as the entire Da Ming was immersed in the joy of New Year's Eve, many people suffered.
This New Year's Eve had become their final destination.
The Kongyin Case involved many officials from all over the country, and the Jinyiwei had already set off a month ago.
Due to the distance and location.
Yes, they had arrived long ago.
Some were still on their way.
Finally.
They were all in position before New Year's Eve.
Many officials were eating New Year's Eve dinner with their families when they were suddenly taken away by the Brocade Guards who barged in.
Among them, there was no lack of Fang Xiaoru's father, the so-called 'Great Confucian'.
This group of people were all detained in the local prison, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with them.
They were considered lucky.
At least compared to the officials in Jiangnan, they were really lucky.
This group of Embroidered Uniform Guards came out to handle cases during the new year, so they were already angry.
They did not dare to vent their anger on Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, he could only attack this group of people.
The Jiangnan officials who were involved in the incident became the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'New Year's Eve gifts one after another.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang had given instructions beforehand that these Jiangnan officials could be killed directly.
The Kongyin Case this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not hand it over to Mao Xiang because Mao Xiang had more important things to do.
This matter was under the command of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tongzhi Jiang He, who was fully in charge.
……
Ying Tian City.
Hu Weiyong was drinking wine, eating side dishes, and humming a tune at home.
It was the new year, and he was in a good mood.
It had been more than a month, but not only did Zhu Yuanzhang not do anything to him, even the officials in Jiangnan were safe and sound.
This gave him the idea that Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish the masses.
What he needed to do next was simple: He would keep a low profile for a while. After the storm of this matter passed, everything would go back to normal.
However…
As an urgent letter arrived, Hu Weiyong opened the envelope and was stunned.
He felt weak all over, and he couldn't even hold the letter in his hand.
The letter fell from his hand and slowly fell to the ground.
"Father, what's wrong?"
His son asked.
Hu Weiyong did not speak. He picked up the letter on the ground and walked towards the study.
When he reached the study, Hu Weiyong seemed to have exhausted all his strength and sat on the wooden chair.
"How dare you?”
He made his move.
Zhu Yuanzhang really made his move.
Moreover…
So many people had been affected by his actions!
Just the number of local officials had reached close to a thousand!
One had to know that the total number of officials in the country at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was only about 20,000!
Hu Weiyong knew that this matter was not over yet.
The people who had been captured were just the beginning.
Afterwards.
The group of minor officials under the officials probably wouldn't be able to escape this calamity either.
In addition.
Lee Shan Chang also received the news.
When he received the news, Lee Shan Chang's face was filled with disbelief.
However, he had no choice but to believe the bloody truth in front of him.
"I'm really…muddle-headed!"
Only then did Li Shan Zhang know.
The upper position was no longer the upper position of the past.
He was the emperor now!
Just like Liu Bang, after becoming the emperor, everything would change.
Li Shan Chang repositioned Zhu Yuanzhang in his mind and began to deduce the latter's next move.
Suddenly…
His expression changed, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
Hu Weiyong probably couldn't keep it.
……
Lan Manor.
Because of New Year's Eve, Lan Shenxing and Xu Miaoyun came here to have New Year's Eve dinner with Lan Yu and her younger brothers.
Lan Yu glanced at the Flying Fish Robe on Lan Shenxing and felt a little helpless.
This kid was too fast.
He had to quickly earn military merits. Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before this kid's official rank surpassed his.
However…
Lan Yu didn't feel jealous. After all, who would be jealous of their own son?
"Kid, are you sure you don't want to go with me to destroy those damn Northern Yuan Tartars?”
To Lan Yu, he still hoped that Lan Shenxing would join the army.
Moreover, he was confident that he could protect Lan Shenxing on the battlefield.
"No."
Lan Shenxing shook his head without hesitation.
Xi Fan said that it was a rebellion, but this was only what the Great Ming said.
The truth was that they hadn't conquered that place yet, and there were still many remnants of Northern Yuan.
Lan Yu was a little unhappy." A good man doesn't fight on the battlefield and drink the enemy's blood. What's the point of staying in Ying Tian?"”
"There has to be someone to provide logistics for you, right?" Lan Shenxing said. If there is a problem with the logistics, you might not even know how you died.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The expressions of the younger brother, younger sister, and several young ladies at the dining table changed.
None of them dared to speak to Lan Yu like that.
"The logistics department has the Ministry of Central Affairs. Do we still need you, kid?”
Lan Yu was not angry.
Firstly, Lan Shenxing had been talking to him like this since he was young.
Secondly, he valued his eldest son very much.
Lan Shenxing smiled and gave Xu Miaoyun a goose leg.
The Ministry of Central Affairs?
It would probably be gone in the spring.
Lan Yu looked at the goose leg in Xu Miaoyun's bowl and scolded with a smile,""You brat, you treat your wife better than your father.”
Just as Lan Shenxing was about to reply, a soldier walked over quickly and knelt on one knee.
"What is it?"
Lan Yu frowned." It's New Year's Eve. I can't even have a good New Year's Eve dinner."”
The soldier didn't say anything and passed the secret letter to Lan Yu.
Lan Yu opened it and took a look before passing the letter to Lan Shenxing.
Lan Shenxing took it.
It was about the Kongyin Case and the Jiangnan officials.
The general content was the same as the information that Lee Shan Chang had received, except that there was one more sentence: One was Hu Weiyong, and the other was to remind Lan Yu to restrain herself.
Lan Yu waved her hand, indicating for everyone to leave except for Lan Shenxing.
Everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Miaoyun also stood up.
"Miao Yun, you don't need to leave."
Lan Yu said. Then, she looked at the prefecture soldiers and asked,"Who sent it?"
"Duke of Korea."
The soldier answered truthfully.
"You may leave."
Lan Yu waved her hand.
After the soldiers left, Lan Shenxing pretended to be crazy and said,"This Hu Weiyong is probably doomed.”
"Hu Weiyong?"
Lan Yu snorted disdainfully and said," If he dies, then so be it. Relying on Li Shan Chang to become the Prime Minister, he doesn't know what his surname is. In my eyes, he's nothing!"”
