"Pin 'er."
"This matter will be handled by you. You and the Crown Prince will find this dog for us.”
"Even if Huaixi is a noble, you don't have to hold back. If anything happens, we'll take responsibility for you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong angrily and said,"Clean up the government and let those corrupt officials understand the methods of our Great Ming Dynasty!”
"As you wish, Imperial Father."
"Your son will not fail your mission."
Zhu Bi and Zhu Biao's eyes lit up at the same time. This was a provocation to the Great Ming Dynasty, a provocation to the Zhu Royal Family. How could they tolerate it and nurture a traitor!
"We're finished!"
"Another river of blood, another upheaval!”
"Who the hell is it that dares to take bribes in the directorate!”
Li Shan Chang sighed in his heart. This was the saddest thing. The current Emperor was talented and bold, and he was born in poverty. He could not stand corrupt officials!
Moreover, how long had it been since the Ming Dynasty was founded?
Someone dared to take bribes in the directorate?
Wasn't this slapping Zhu Yuanzhang in the face?
How could Zhu Yuanzhang be blamed for being furious?
If it was him, Lee Shan Chang, he would also be furious!
"Let's return to the Eastern Palace first."
"There's still a thorny matter waiting for you to deal with.”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back as he left, then said to Li Shan Chang beside him,""As for finding the person in charge of the Ministry of Works, Duke of Korea, you are a minister and also my teacher. I will leave this matter to you. Don't disappoint me.”
"Let's go."
"What a bunch of brainless things.”
"If you want to take bribes, why do you choose such an obvious place?”
Zhu Xiong looked around at the ministers and sneered,""It's not too late to turn yourself in now. Don't let me find out, because once I find out, it's not a big deal for me to exterminate nine clans.”
After Zhu Rong finished speaking, he didn't wait for the ministers to reply and stepped out of the directorate with Zhu Biao. This matter was also a very good excuse to let those lawless Huaixi dignitaries understand one thing. In this huge Darming Dynasty, if anyone dared to commit illegal acts, they would be punished.
It was the emperor's mercy to exterminate nine clans!
"An important minister of the country!"
"Daming Longzi!"
"The two walls of the empire!"
"This is already not inferior to His Majesty!”
"Furthermore, he has a decisive temperament and amazing methods. He combines hardness and softness. It's unbelievable that there are actually three such heroes in an era!”
Although Li Shan Chang was old, he was not muddle-headed. The two princes who left in front of him looked very much like Zhu Yuanzhang from back then. This made him feel uneasy!
Moreover…
Zhu Yuanzhang was already about to make a move on Huaixi's dignitaries!
This was not a good sign!
If this matter was not handled perfectly!
Then they would never be able to turn the tables!
"Ask Minister Hu to come to my house. I have something to discuss with him!”
Li Shan Chang looked at Marquis Ji An Lu Zhongheng who was following beside him and said softly," You should also go and investigate if this was the doing of Huaixi Xun. Also, you must remember to keep it a secret. This matter can only be carried out in secret. You can't let His Majesty find out. Otherwise, we can't even guarantee the lives of our superiors!”
"Yes."
"Prime Minister, I seem to have some memories.”
"Ma Nanshan, the chief of construction in the Ministry of Works, also known as Ma Sandao, seems to be the chief of construction in this Juxian Hall.”
Marquis Ji An Lu Zhongheng suddenly thought of someone. He looked at Li Shan Chang and said softly,"If he really did it, then we're really done for. His Majesty is already very dissatisfied with us. Moreover, Ma Nanshan is also a noble in Huaixi and has been conferred the title of loyal and brave uncle!”
"You're so muddle-headed!"
"This old man has really committed a great crime!"
"I remember now. After Ma Nanshan went to the Ministry of Works to build the examination hall, he was rejected by the Minister of Works, so he came to beg me.”
"So this matter is related to this old man.”
Lee Shan Chang's pupils instantly constricted. He had also remembered that although his crime was not worthy of death, it was at most a crime of not knowing how to use people. However, this could also make Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also suspicious of him, more and more worried about him. This was a mistake, and it was really a mistake!
"There's no need to look for Minister Hu."
"Tell Ma Nanshan to find a scapegoat!”
"Otherwise, when His Highness the Crown Prince turns around, what awaits us will really be a guillotine!”
"Also, help this old man warn Xue Xiang, the Minister of Works, what he should say and what he should not say. He has to know in his heart what to say and not be used as a weapon by others!”
Li Shan Chang was indeed the hero who helped Zhu Yuanzhang pacify the world. He instantly had a plan in his heart. With such a proper arrangement, he would find someone to take the blame. Zhu Yuanzhang would not blame Ma Nanshan, and their Huaixi dignitaries would not be affected!
"I understand."
Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji An, quickly nodded and left the directorate in big strides.
Little did they know that beside them.
Pairs of eyes were fixed on them. They were the Jinyiwei from the darkest department of the Daming Dynasty, who had helped Zhu Yuanzhang search for information and evidence of corrupt officials!
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness King Qi."
"I have a secret report."
At the same time, in the Eastern Palace, a royal guard in luxurious clothes presented a secret memorial with both hands and came to the side of King Qi Zhu and Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
"Second, you are the master of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.”
"I'll leave it to you."
Crown Prince Zhu Biao nodded slightly, then turned to Zhu Rong and said,""Although I know that Father has such an intelligence department, it's only limited to knowing. Moreover, this is an intelligence department that only belongs to Father. I have no right to ask.”
"You and I are brothers."
"There's nothing to hide."
"Moreover, if you were more ruthless, I wouldn't have asked for such a task.”
Zhu Xiong waved his hand casually and took the secret report from the Embroidered Uniform Guards. After opening the seal, he handed it to Zhu Biao and said,"This is your Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. You have to ask about everything. You should take a look first, but don't be too shocked. I believe the contents of the letter will be very explosive. Otherwise, the Jinyiwei won't have rushed to report!”
"Impudent!"
"Does Lee Shan Chang want to die?”
"You actually want to threaten the Minister of Works and find a scapegoat for Ma Nanshan!”
Zhu Biao didn't have any intention of refusing. He casually took the letter, but his expression became more and more embarrassed. Then, he slammed the table and said angrily,"What a great Prime Minister Li, what a great Duke of Korea. They have power over the government and the people, and they even wanted to hide it from His Majesty. They deserve to die!”
"Indeed, he deserves to die!"
"What a bastard!"
"He clearly only committed the crime of negligence!”
"It's fine to ask for forgiveness from His Majesty, but he actually wants to deceive everyone!”
"He's really guilty!"
Zhu Xiong also received the letter curiously. Then, his expression instantly became as ugly as Zhu Biao's. In fact, he even felt a strong sense of disbelief in his heart. Li Shan Chang was the founding hero of the country, the most trusted minister of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a figure who left a heavy mark in history. How could he be such a treacherous man!
"Inform General Tang Ding to lead the Imperial Martial Guards to capture Ma Nanshan and Li Shan Chang!”
Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Eunuch Li Heng beside him. Did he really think that a good temper was the master of no temper? Did the Darming Dynasty want to change their surname to Li?
"Big brother!"
"Don't be angry. Don't be anxious."
"Li Heng, get lost to the side. I don't need you to deliver the decree!”
Zhu Xiong waved his hand to dismiss Li Heng, then looked at Zhu Biao, who was still angry, and said,"If the current prime minister is like this, then what about the other ministers? There's no hurry in this matter. We'll slowly investigate and get to the bottom of it. We'll see how many crafty sycophants there are in our Great Ming Dynasty. Moreover, I also want to know if the Minister of Works, Xue Xiang, is colluding with evil or is he honest and straightforward!”
"I don't believe that we can't suppress this group of arrogant soldiers!”
"I really didn't expect the civil officials and fierce generals who followed father to conquer the world in the past!”
"Now, all of you have become like this!”
"Including my uncle, Lan Yu!”
"How did you end up like this?”
Zhu Biao's anger did not subside at all. Instead, it became more and more terrifying. In the end, he slammed the table fiercely and said,"If it wasn't for the fact that the Crown Princess was sick, I would have killed Lan Yu a long time ago. The once important minister of the country has actually become a parasite of the country!”
"Sister Chang is sick?"
"It's a small problem. I'll go take a look later!”
"I promise to return you a healthy Crown Princess!”
"As for Lan Yu, it's better to keep him. After all, he's a fierce general of the country. With you and me suppressing him, he won't dare to act rashly. Moreover, he's one of the few elders of elder sister Chang.”
"Moreover, with Lan Yu's support, at least a portion of Huaixi's nobles who have not colluded with you can still become your capable helpers!”
"So, if you can spare my life, then spare my life!"
Zhu Rong didn't care about Lan Yu's life and death. After all, with the two brothers suppressing them, Huaixi's nobles wouldn't dare to rebel even if they wanted to. After all, the reputation of the two brothers, one had relied on fighting, and the other had relied on the country's supervisor. If anyone really had such thoughts, any old general could easily suppress them!
There was no need to talk about rebellion!
"Other than being a little arrogant, Lan Yu really didn't do anything wrong.”
"Why didn't you beat him up!"
"I can't calm down today!"
"Li Heng!"
"Go to the guest room and pull Lan Yu out. Give her 80 lashes!”
At this moment, the more Zhu Biao thought about it, the angrier he became. Then, he looked at Li Heng and shouted,"Don't show mercy just because he's injured. If anyone dares to show mercy, I'll kill him!”
"This is an undeserved disaster."
Zhu Xiong couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. Zhu Biao needed to vent his anger at this moment. That Lan Yu happened to be in the residence. Wasn't he asking for a beating? He couldn't kill her, but he couldn't beat her up!
Lan Yu was speechless.
