Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were burning with anger and helplessness.
He was so angry that his hands were trembling. He looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen who were kneeling in front of him and said coldly,
"You all know how big Ouyang Lun's case is, but you're actually having a romantic relationship here? If he didn't kill Ouyang Lun, in less than a month, the entire Great Ming would know that the Fuma had violated the court's ban and smuggled tea salt. He was actually not punished according to the court's laws. Hmph, in less than a year, the number of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty will multiply. At that time, will anyone still dare to expose them to the court?”
Zhu Yunwen bowed deeply and said,"This grandson also thought of it."”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"If we were not here today and had already passed away, how would you and your son handle this case?”
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something but stopped.
Their expressions told Zhu Yuanzhang their solution.
Disappointment flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes as he sighed,"
"You guys value kinship, but are we heartless? As for Princess Anqing, she is my daughter. Don't I feel sorry for her? However, Ouyang Lun's matter involved the foundation of the Imperial Court, so it had to be done according to the Imperial Court's laws.”
"Fourth Brother's subordinate is an outsider, not a relative of the royal family. Even he knows that he wants the country, but what about you? A crown prince and an imperial grandson, yet they still can't distinguish the severity of the matter. You have to know that it wasn't easy for us to conquer this country!”
"Who does this country belong to? It's our Zhu family's! I'm old, and my only wish is for the Zhu family to have a long and peaceful life.”
"Why did we get this world? That was fate, luck! If it wasn't for the Yuan Dynasty's corruption and tyranny, the people's resentment would have been too deep, and it wouldn't have been his turn to rule the world.”
"I know the truth of the rise and fall of the world, so I use the strict laws of the Ming Dynasty to control and manage it. I hope that my children and grandchildren can firmly control the world and enjoy peace. The most important thing is to severely punish corruption. How many times have I told you this principle?”
"You must remember! More than half of the officials in the world came to be officials for the sake of making a fortune, so we suppressed them harshly to make them restrain themselves. If one day, I am no longer around, and you are still so soft-hearted and careless, corrupt officials will rise up quickly in the world. The resentment of the people will also accumulate quickly, and naturally, someone will rise up.”
"At that time, with a single call, hundreds of people will respond. The dynasty will be overturned, and the only ones who will be killed will be our Zhu family. At that time, it won't just be the Fuma who will die! Why can't you listen to these principles?”
"Ouyang Lun must be killed! He's not the only one I want to kill!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's entire body seemed to be wrapped in a wave of anger, making people shudder. His skin instantly turned red, and his white hair was particularly eye-catching under the light.
It was as if the entire hall was shrouded in a haze by Zhu Yuanzhang. The icy cold aura grew thicker and thicker, causing people to shiver involuntarily.
"Your son understands." Zhu Biao hurriedly said.
"You and your son should retreat. Close your doors for three days and write a reflection report.”Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Zhu Biao left with Zhu Yunwen.
Outside the hall, Zhu Yunwen frowned.
Today, he had come to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute to plead for the Emperor's son-in-law. It was his teacher and grandfather, Lu Ben, who had asked him to come.
Lu Ben told him that if he pleaded for the Fuma, not only would the Emperor see that he valued family ties, but the court and the people of the world would also see the benevolence and righteousness of the Great Ming Emperor's grandson.
However, the actual situation was different.
Zhu Yunwen had never seen Imperial Grandfather so angry.
……
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed himself down and looked at Zhu Di, who had been silent all this while, and asked,""You went to see Zhu Ying?"
Zhu Di nodded." Yes, I have. He was the one who said that. He also said that the Fuma was stupid and deserved to be killed!"”
A smile flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face." I also thought that he would say that. That kid is ruthless, just like me."”
Zhu Di facepalmed with a strange expression." Father, he's not just any ruthless man. He's already taken over the Illusion Sound Workshop. It's said that he beheaded two courtesans in front of the manager of the Illusion Sound Workshop.”
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth curled up slightly." He has taken down three of the four major dark forces in the capital. It's far beyond our expectations."”
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and continued," Father, but this Illusory Sound Workshop needs the Jinyiwei to intervene. This is because the Illusory Sound Workshop is actually run by the Yuan Dynasty's Horse Hunting Division. Zhu Ying, this kid, why didn't he tell me? I reckon he's reached some kind of agreement with the Illusionary Sound Workshop.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, he said,"There's no hurry. Let's see what Zhu Ying does next."”
Zhu Di nodded and accepted the order.
Zhu Yuanzhang got up and said,"Let's go out of the palace for a walk."”
"Father, I'll accompany you." Zhu Di hurriedly said.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand." I don't need it. Go and drink with your big brother."”
He called the Embroidered Uniform Guards and left the palace.
Zhu Di held his forehead.
This old man must have gone to see Zhu Ying.
He still felt sorry for Big Brother, so he lectured him and asked me to accompany him for a drink.
Ps: The numbers are really terrible. Please give me some motivation, the more I count, the more disappointed I am.
