A day later, in the inn, Wang Huamin, the governor of Quanzhou, and the governor of Quanzhou met Zhu Yuanzhang again.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang was less hostile and more gentle.
When he first arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang already had the mentality of grasping Zhu Chen's weakness, so he had a vicious aura.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang reflected on himself.
He could not deny Zhu Chen just because Zhu Chen kept taking in concubines, so he naturally became much gentler.
This made Wang Huamin and the prefect, who had been worried, heave a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and raised his hand.
"Sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two sat down.
"Have you checked?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.”
"Your Majesty, I've already investigated!”Wang Huamin stood up and cupped his hands again.
"How is it?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Chen is telling the truth!”
"Tell me the details!"
"Yes, sir!" Wang Huamin began to explain,
"The two women that Prince Chen took in as concubines were called Ji Miyue and Ji Mixue. They are a pair of siblings…"
"His father is called Ji Xiaojun, and he is a citizen of Zhenjiang County under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou…
He joined the Southeast Army eight years ago, and five years ago, he was seriously injured and retired from the front line.
He has 20 acres of land, a wife and two daughters.”
" In the third year of Hongwu, His Majesty felt that it was difficult for the heavily injured soldiers to live on, so he specially issued an order that every heavily injured soldier could receive two strings of money every month…"
"Ran, Ji Xiaojun has a happy family. He has land and money, and his family is happy…"
"Three months ago, Ji Xiaojun and his wife went missing while picking herbs on the mountain…leaving the two girls to rely on each other.”
" Later, the Ji family's relatives or neighbors held a funeral for Ji Xiaojun and his wife, and the two women were forced to leave…"
" It lasted for several months. The Ji family's wealth was destroyed, and their uncles wanted to sell the two girls to a brothel..."
"Coincidentally, the second daughter of the Ji family, Ji Miyue, had no intention of eavesdropping, so she fled with her eldest sister, Ji Mixue…"
"The two girls came to Quanzhou. Prince Wenchen liked to take concubines. The two girls volunteered to be concubines in order to survive…"
"The next day, Prince Chen sent guards to Zhenjiang County to capture the criminals.
On that day, in a fit of anger for a beauty, he killed the chief culprit, Ji Xiaofeng, and escorted the rest of the criminals to the government office for trial…"
At this point, Wang Huamin bowed.
"Your Majesty will personally witness what happens next!”
"Ta! Ta!" Zhu Yuanzhang kept knocking on the table. The smile on his face was completely gone, and a bone-chilling chill was emitted.
Wang Huamin and the Quanzhou Prefect lowered their heads in fear.
"Hu ~! Minister Wang, do you think there are many similar things in the Ming Dynasty?”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.
Wang Huamin wanted to say something, but his mouth was half open.
After a long time, his face turned red and he said,"
"I'm incompetent and don't know!"
"What about you?" Zhu Yuanzhang swept his gaze towards the Prefect of Quanzhou City.
"I…I don't know either!"
"Hehe!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, causing the two of them to feel their hair stand on end.
"Yes, there must be…Retired soldiers, money and land…
Neighbors and relatives all around rushed to borrow money…If the soldiers refused to lend, they would have the intention to kill.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved and his tone was faint.
"First kill the retired soldiers, then eat them up, destroy their family wealth, seize their wives, sell their daughters…split them between pigs and dogs!”
"To serve the country, to sacrifice one's life, to lick blood from one's blade, to live towards death…
Disabled and retired from the army, returning to his hometown with honor…He was poisoned, lost his wife, and ruined his daughter…How painful! It hurts!"
"No wonder, when Prince Chen killed the pigs and dogs that day, there were so many people who were furious and impassioned…"
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his palm on the table, his expression suddenly ferocious,
"Preposterous, the hearts of my Great Ming soldiers are probably cold. They are cold because of this group of pigs and dogs…Bastards!”
"Men!"
"Your subject is here!" Er Hu bowed.
"Send a message to the Crown Prince to order the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to thoroughly investigate the current situation of the retired soldiers…
Find those who have been eaten and humiliated, seek justice for them, and kill their neighbors…"
"We have to give the retired soldiers of the world an explanation. Otherwise, we won't be able to rest easy!”
"Understood!"
Xiao Hu left.
Wang Huamin and the Quanzhou Prefecture Magistrate bowed with solemn expressions.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Empress Ma, who had been listening from the side, also smiled and bowed.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"It is truly a blessing that Your Majesty was able to check and fill in the gaps during this trip to the capital!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Wang Huamin and the other man immediately understood what Empress Ma meant and congratulated her.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand expressionlessly." What's there to be happy about…I almost misunderstood our son. Father and son almost fell out!”
"I almost made the retired soldiers of the world feel cold…I am guilty…I am guilty!”
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"Your Majesty…"
"Alright!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted impatiently and said,
"Wang Huamin, find a chance to invite Prince Chen for a meal. We have to apologize for what happened yesterday!”
Wang Huamin's eyes moved slightly and he hurriedly nodded.""This subject obeys the decree!"
"Let's go back!"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left.
Empress Ma followed. Her man was probably sad.
……
At the same time.
After Zhu Chen returned to the residence, he only made a gesture to his two daughters-in-law, making them heave a sigh of relief, but they were also extremely happy.
After that, Zhu Chen went to visit his other wives.
After visiting his wife, Zhu Chen took the time to visit his son and daughter.
He had long forgotten about what happened yesterday.
