Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to kill Zhu Can, but he didn't do it.
He began to doubt his own thoughts.
He felt that Zhu Can was Zhu Xiong Ying, but Zhu Can's personality was completely different from the Zhu Xiong Ying in his impression!
This was the third time he and Zhu Can had met.
Zhu Can actually didn't react to him at all!
If it were Zhu Xiongying, he would definitely not be like this.
When Zhu Xiongying died, he could already remember.
Zhu Yuanzhang had high hopes for Xiong Ying, so he would personally teach him whenever he had time.
Zhu Xiongying naturally knew his appearance!
The previous few times, Old Zhu thought that too much time had passed.
Zhu Can might not be able to remember him at the moment.
Moreover, the time they had interacted with each other was also short.
But now, he was sitting opposite Zhu Can.
If Zhu Can was Zhu Xiongying, would he suspect his identity?
When his great-grandson died, he could still remember!
"Zhu Can, don't you find this old man familiar?”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up. He missed Zhu Xiongying too much.
If Zhu Can was his grandson, then Da Ming could solve many things.
As for the fact that he had already made Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson, this was nothing.
He was the emperor and could change at any time.
So what if you change your mind?
Who dared to say anything?
"Familiar? Naturally!" Zhu Can casually laughed.
Zhu Can felt that this old man was sick. What was he asking?
We meet three times in three days, how can I not recognize you?
Zhu Can grinned as he looked at Old Zhu and said,""You have a lot of family members, right? You can all see the emperor, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Can warily.
"What do you want to do? Do you really want to assassinate the emperor?"
"What do you think?"
Zhu Can decided not to say anything.
No one would believe it anyway!
Thinking about it, it was indeed true. Who would believe a commoner like him saying that he wanted to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang?
No matter how he looked at it, it was ridiculous!
If he was targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and killed in advance, that would be too unjust!
As the saying goes, things are done secretly!
What you want to do, even the gods can't say.
When the matter was done, the world would naturally know!
In the current Hongwu and Ming Dynasties, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were not the most terrifying.
The original Jinyiwei was only Zhu Yuanzhang's personal army, and their numbers were limited.
At most, it would be 19,000 people.
Some of them were responsible for the emperor's daily ceremonial duties.
Only half of them could help Old Zhu gather information.
Zhu Yuanzhang's most terrifying intelligence organization was actually the Inspection Department.
It was made up of all the idle people in the country!
These people were scattered among the people and were responsible for gathering information.
They did not have as much power as the Brocade Guard, but they did not know if the people they met were the Emperor's men!
How terrifying were these inspectors?
There was once an official who did not attend court and wrote a memorial to ask for leave, which was found out by Old Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang called the man over and showed him a painting.
This painting was of his appearance last night when he was drinking and had constipation.
His expression and appearance could be seen at all!
In other words, when this person was constipated in the latrine pit.
There was someone drawing a portrait of him outside.
He was done, and the painting was done!
How terrifying!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed." How would I know what you're thinking? But I think it's a joke. I'm afraid you've never seen the emperor go out, right?"”
He had never seen the emperor on a trip, so his thoughts were so childish.
That was the emperor, if he really traveled as an emperor.
A commoner like you can get within a hundred meters of the emperor.
Was this considered a dereliction of duty by the Jinyiwei?
Zhu Can thought for a moment and said,"You're right!”
As expected, it seemed that the assassination had to be done slowly!
However, he could make use of the old man in front of him.
The other party lived in the Xu family's courtyard, so it must have something to do with his background.
He didn't take advantage of the situation. He was a bastard!
Zhu Can hurriedly said," What I said at the mutton soup shop was just words of anger. I really couldn't take it lying down after being bullied by my family. That's why I said those arrogant words!" Why would I want to assassinate the emperor? However, it's true that I want to take revenge on those scums in my family!”
Zhu Yuanzhang believed him and nodded.
From his interaction with Zhu Can, this kid had a very bad temper.
He killed the entire family at the drop of a hat!
"How do you plan to punish your relatives?" he asked with a smile.”?
"Let them die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned." It's enough to teach you a lesson and take back your family property. Those people are your clansmen and have elders. Our dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety. If you disobey your elders, you won't get any good according to the Law of Ming! If you disobey your elders, you will be beaten fifty times. If your elders sue you, you will also be punished with hard labor. In serious cases, you will be exiled thousands of miles away!”
Zhu Can shook his head. He felt that this Law of Great Ming was not benevolent!
As a junior, he had no human rights at all!
But he also knew that the old man was right.
This was the rule during the feudal era of Ming Dynasty.
The elderly had their privileges, and it was only right for the elders to beat the younger ones.
If a junior killed an elder, it would be considered a heinous crime according to the Great Ming Law!
Because it violated human relations, the nature was far more serious than killing people.
In the eyes of the ancients, human relations were more important than anything else.
Because this was the foundation of feudal rule!
Therefore, it was very difficult to kill those people from the Zhu family.
It was not something that Zhu Can could kill with a casual word.
Ming still had the government!
But now, an opportunity had appeared.
Zhu Can felt that since this old man was able to say the Law of Ming Dynasty, he must be an experienced driver of Ming Dynasty.
"Old sir, the Zhu family has already removed my name from the genealogy! If I'm not considered a member of the Zhu family, then it's not considered disobedience if I sue the Zhu family, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Did the Zhu family gather their relatives and remove your name from the genealogy in front of you?"”
"No, they did it secretly!”
"What use is that?"
"If my Ming Clan wants to remove a person from the genealogy, we need the three elders as witnesses, the approval of our relatives, and the official's witness!”
So troublesome!
Didn't he just tear it off from the household register?
Zhu Can immediately frowned. Big Ming was more complicated than he thought.
It was too complicated!
People had to follow the rules in the martial world.
"In that case, I'm still the Zhu family's legitimate son and grandson, and the Zhu family is still mine!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.”
"Then I'm the clan leader, right?"
"You need someone to respect you before you can be considered the clan leader. Otherwise, you'll be the eldest son of the eldest branch. You can only inherit the things of the eldest branch. With your current status, it will be very difficult for you to get into the Zhu family. The government will not help you.”
"That's because the Zhu family colluded with the government!”
Zhu Can did not mind.
This was Hongwu and Ming Dynasty, not Wanli or Chenghua.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a very vicious policy.
It was specially for the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty.
As long as the commoners could confirm that the officials were corrupt, they could tie them up and send them to the capital for interrogation!
Naturally, no one dared to use this rule.
However, Zhu Can was not among them. He was not afraid of death!
Old Zhu's tolerance for corruption was zero.
In the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that officials who embezzled 60 taels of silver would be executed.
Later on, the red line of sixty taels was removed. As long as it was corruption, they could be executed!
He even invented a criminal law that would go down in history to deal with official corruption.
Skinning the skin and planting grass!
It was to peel off the human skin and fill it with straw.
Then, he would display it in the government office for the officials to see!
The place where it was placed was the two doors between the yamen's main door and the inner courtyard!
Zhu Yuanzhang's viciousness towards corrupt officials was rarely seen in history!
Zhu Can also knew that if he didn't want to go home, he definitely wouldn't have thought of assassinating Old Zhu.
Old Zhu was still considered a good emperor.
It was convenient for him to stab him, but history would take a turn for the better.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Can said,"Thank you for your guidance, Old Mister. With this, this brat will know how to punish the Zhu Clan!"”
