"Stop right there."
"I'll spare your life for now. I have something to ask you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hold the King of Qi Zhu Wang responsible for his overstepping. He was even very satisfied with Zhu Wang's behavior. As expected of his own son, he would always think for his father.
"Have you read books?"
Zhu Yuanzhang walked down from the hall and looked at Huang Gang with his hands behind his back.
"I can recognize a few words."
Although Huang Gang was not as arrogant as Gao Feng, he still did not put Zhu Yuanzhang in his eyes. He said coldly,"We're about the same. We know a few words.”
"He said he can't live anymore."
"Why do you have to do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't understand. Although the Ming Dynasty was in ruins, the common people should be living and working in peace and contentment. Why would there be a rebellion among the common people? If it wasn't for Zhu Yao's report last night, he would still be in the dark.
"We had more than a thousand people repairing the city, but more than a hundred of us died of hunger.”
"And those who are sick. More than a hundred people died of illness.”
"So what if I don't rebel!"
Huang Gang's voice was sonorous and powerful, and there was a sense of helplessness towards the declining social atmosphere. If they could eat their fill, who would want to live their lives with their heads on their belts? Did they not know that they could actually shake the Ming Dynasty and end the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?
"Isn't there food and pay for labor?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and his expression was a little stunned. Then, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. In the Great Ming Dynasty that he ruled, such a thing actually happened. It was really unforgivable!
"Food?"
"The two thousand households colluded and deducted half of the four months 'food. After we finished eating, we still had to use the money we had on us to buy food. Those who didn't have money could only work on an empty stomach. When they were hungry, they ate grass and leaves.”
"We asked the Thousand Households for the ring, but not only did they not give it to us, they even killed our two leaders!”
"Do you think I can survive?"
Huang Gang's voice became more and more agitated as he spoke, while Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more gloomy. Other than Huang Gang's echo in the entire hall, no other courtiers dared to make a sound. The Huaixi dignitaries who had once followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world had also felt the fear of their ascension.
"Why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and stared at Huang Gang.
"Why didn't you report your rebellion to the authorities?”
His voice was like thunder that exploded in the court!
It wasn't just Zhu Yuanzhang. The officials who had revolted at the end of the Yuan Dynasty also instantly recalled the past. If it wasn't for the fact that they had no way to report to the government, they wouldn't have been forced to rebel. The reason for their rebellion was very simple: they wanted to eat a full meal!
If only I had that mouthful of food back then!
Who would have nothing better to do than rebel?
"How dare you!"
"Your Majesty overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty is the will of the people.”
"How can there be a rebellion!"
Lord Henan Lu Ju immediately stepped forward and scolded Huang Gang,"How can a mere commoner have the courage to spout nonsense in this Heaven Tribute Palace!”
"Shut up!"
"Marquis Lu, you're just a commoner, why don't you look like you used to?”
"You are now a marquis, so you can look down on the people?”
"If you dare to be impudent again, today, the Hall of Heaven's Tribute will be stained with blood. I will definitely kill you!”
A cold light flashed across the eyes of the officials. Zhu Rong immediately drew out the imperial sword and pointed it at the Marquis of Henan, Lu Ju, and said coldly,"Don't challenge this king's bottom line. You were once a general under this king, so you should understand this king's methods. Don't provoke this king, let him finish!”
The sword of the dynasty!
Only Crown Prince Zhu Biao and King Qi Zhu He had the qualifications to do so!
This was also a privilege granted by Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang!
It shocked the courtiers.
To warn His Majesty.
He has the power to act first and report later.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"I know my sins!"
Lu Ju, the Marquis of Henan, instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He then knelt on the ground. King Qi Zhu He had always been unscrupulous in his actions, and he was not someone he could afford to provoke. Moreover, when Zhu He rebelled in Shandong, Lu Ju, the Marquis of Henan, had been a general under Zhu He, so he understood his character and temper better.
"Your Highness King Qi."
"This is the court, not your fief.”
"Do you think His Majesty is worthy of your attention?”
"Do you care about the law?"
The Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang, took a step forward. He was not afraid of Zhu Xiong's imposing manner at all. His eyes were still calm. He was the first adviser to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world. In his eyes, Zhu Xiong might have made some contributions, but he was still a child. It was really disappointing to treat people who had made contributions like this.
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared coldly at Li Shanzhang and Zhu Rong, then looked at Huang Gang. After a long silence, he asked,""Is Huangjue Temple still there?"
"Yes."
Huang Gang did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to ask such a question. Although he was still cold, he still answered truthfully.
"How is Fifth Master Zhu at the temple entrance?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up with hope, then he looked at Huang Gang.
"Chunshang is dead."
"I starved to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils contracted slightly as an inexplicable anger lingered in the entire hall. Looking carefully, his arms were trembling slightly. Then, he looked at Huang Gang and said,"Are the lives of the villagers still so difficult?”
"We dare not be His Majesty's fellow countrymen.”
"We're still forty li away from your east side.”
"I can't get any light."
Huang Gang sneered at Zhu Yuanzhang.
The meaning of this sentence was quite deep.
Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang understand, but the old foxes in the court also understood.
Instantly.
A haze lingered in his heart.
"Could it be that his life is worse than Hu Yuan's?"
However, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Huang Gang in disbelief.
In the Great Ming Dynasty that he governed, there were actually crafty sycophants causing trouble!
"Hahaha!"
"Emperor, you should go down and take a look."
"It's best not to wear your clothes.”
Hysterical laughter spread throughout the entire court. Huang Gang's lips curled into a mocking and disdainful smile. How many of the civil and military officials in this hall were clean?
"Understood. I'll learn from you."
"What's the name of the thousand-man you two are thinking of?”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head lightly. He would start from Fengyang and reorganize the officials of the imperial court. He hoped that his old brothers would not disappoint him. If they were really involved, he would become Liu Bang even if he had the Death Exemption Iron Scroll.
"Li Hongqiang, Zhang Daoguang."
Huang Gang gritted his teeth as he spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Got it."
"Push out the Meridian Gate and behead him."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with regret, but he waved his hand. As the emperor of a country, he could forgive any crime, but rebellion could not!
"Hahahaha!"
His arrogant laughter echoed in the hall for a long time.
"Huaixi is noble."
"Isn't he quite arrogant and despotic?"
"This King will see how you guys end this."
A faint smile appeared in Zhu Rong's eyes. This was the origin of Hongwu's case, and also the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's slaughter. Whether it was Hu Weiyong's case or Lan Yu's unjust case, they all started from this.
