"Imperial Grandfather, don't be angry. This is just the beginning.”
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, he obviously couldn't control his emotions.
Zhu Yunwen quickly went forward to comfort him.
Who knew.
Zhu Yuanzhang only listened to the beginning and said angrily,"The first thing to do in a trial is to make the criminal tremble in fear and lose his energy! Therefore, the first sentence of the interrogation was extremely important!”
"If we don't suppress him from the beginning, how are we going to handle this case?”
"I can finally see that these two-faced dog officials are not thinking about me at all.”
"Let's get them to follow the rules of the 'Book of Wrongs' and feed all these words to the criminal's stomach.”
"But what are they doing?"
"You're talking about offending us again!”
"Don't think that we don't know what they're thinking. In their hearts, did it mean that the traitor was right?”
Zhu Yunwen looked at his grandfather's angry face and couldn't help but curse in his heart, However, there was indeed a problem with the system of the vassal kings.
As for the Prime Minister, from the perspective of the officials, he really did not want to refute.
At the very least, there was only one Blue Jade Case.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Yunwen's expression became stern.
If that 'Book of Remembering Wrongs' only had the first two sections of remonstrance to Imperial Grandfather.
He even thought that Su Huai was a talent that could be put in an important position.
Zhu Yunwen might even plead for him.
However!
His starting point had always been the Blue Jade Case!
The two points mentioned above were just two examples, including the big talk that followed: The Imperial Grandfather's mistakes were only ten to twenty percent of what was written on it…
At its root.
These were all supplementary to the Blue Jade Case!
He wanted to seek justice…
His ultimate goal was to make Imperial Grandfather give up on the Blue Jade Case?
He even mentioned the most taboo point: "If Great Sun Zhu Yunwen really has the image of a ruler, why would His Majesty open the road for him?”
Just this sentence…
He had to die!
"Imperial Grandfather, don't worry. Among these officials, there are always those who are sincere about the Imperial Court.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen.
Then, he said earnestly,
"Yun Wen, if you really have a way to refute him…"
"I even used my actions to tell him that what he said was simply the ignorant opinion of the common people!”
"This way…"
"We can rest assured now."
Hearing this.
Zhu Yunwen's heart trembled.
He didn't know why, but he felt that there was a hidden meaning in his grandfather's words.
Was it in his grandfather's heart?
He also began to think that the statement about him in the Book of Remorse was a little accurate?
No!
Absolutely not!
"Royal grandfather, don't worry. I've long prepared.”
"No matter how sharp-tongued Su Huai is, I can make him admit his guilt!”
……
Almost as soon as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking.
"How dare you!"
"Arrogant fellow!"
"At this point, if you still don't admit your guilt, then this official will make you admit your guilt!”
In the main hall of the Imperial Censorate.
Just as the officials were fuming.
In the Zhan Shi Manor, a slightly plump middle-aged man stood up angrily.
It was Huang Zicheng, the study companion of the Eastern Palace.
Although the latter was only a study companion, his status was not to be underestimated by the officials.
After all.
As the teacher of the great grandson.
The Emperor was already old. If his grandson ascended the throne…
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and the other close ministers of Grand Sun would definitely soar!
Therefore…
After he stood up angrily, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Corey dared to stand up at this time.
Other than his identity, it was also because he could completely abandon his identity as a " subject " and stand in the position of " His Royal Highness."
He didn't have to worry about his reputation like the officials!
For example.
At this time, according to the Emperor's intention, he would refute the words of the royal family in Su Huai's "Book of Remembrance".
In the future.
When His Highness Taisun ascended the throne and really wanted to cut off his vassal…
Today's words of " becoming a vassal king for His Majesty " were bound to be a disaster in the future!
However, Huang Zicheng, who was the teacher of His Royal Highness, did not have to worry about this.
Because…
He must have informed His Royal Highness in advance.
Thinking of this…
When the officials thought of the Emperor himself, they were in the back hall.
He was no longer nervous and relaxed.
Just watch as Huang Zicheng charges forward, and they'll lend a helping hand from time to time!
"You said in this 'Book of Remorse' that His Majesty sees Great Ming as a family and delusions that the entire world would support the Fan King's royal family.”
"Nonsense!"
Huang Zicheng waved his sleeves angrily." Do you know how many battles the royal family and the vassal kings fought before and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty? How much blood was left for the Ming Dynasty?”
"Over the years, His Highness the King of Qin has been in charge of Shanzhou, His Highness the King of Jin has been in charge of Shanxi, His Highness the King of Yan has been in charge of Beiping, and His Highness the newly appointed Prince Ning has also been in charge of Daning…"
"There are a total of nine vassal kings guarding the borders of our Great Ming.”
"As such, the interior of the Ming Dynasty is gradually peaceful and prosperous. The people at the border do not have to worry about the invasion of foreign bandits.”
"So many years of hard work, but it was destroyed by a mere guess of the future?”
"What…"
"In a hundred years, the vassal kings and imperial clan will be arrogant, increase production, open up wasteland, and swallow the people's fat?”
"Within 200 years, the annual salary of the imperial clan will become a bottomless tax pit for the country?”
" Those who are as rich as a country will become parasites of the people. Those who can't swallow will starve to death on the streets. They will either become bandits or enemies."
"The imperial clan system will also become the scourge of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation?”
He said all of this in one breath.
As the 'Book of Remembrance' was hanging in the main hall, the black characters were clearly visible.
Corey also read out word by word.
Then, with a stern expression, he immediately stated Su Huai's crime!
"Others don't dare to say it, but I will."
"You have ulterior motives. With a single word, you erase the countless merits and contributions that the Fan King has made for my Great Ming!”
"Deliberately inciting the hatred of the people of Ming Dynasty towards the vassal king…"
"Using this to achieve your unspeakable goal of 'disrupting the border defense and murdering the imperial clans', to the point of destroying the border defense of my Ming Dynasty!”
At this moment.
Huang Zicheng said.
The officials were all stunned. They couldn't help but give Huang Zicheng a thumbs up in their hearts.
How could this accusation be pressed like this?
The moment this big hat was put on him.
Su Huai didn't just offend the Ruler, he was suspected of colluding with the enemy and causing trouble for the Ming army.
This crime!
Compared to the deliberate rebellion of the Blue Jade Case, it was even worse!
For a moment…
It was as if this was the first time everyone had met Huang Zicheng. They looked at him with admiration and fear.
At the same time.
In the back hall.
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression visibly eased.
"This person is not bad. He is indeed quick-witted!"
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed.
However…
Before he could laugh out loud.
A clear and bright sneer directly rose up to meet the momentum, tit-for-tat!
Zhu Yuanzhang's relaxed expression could not help but freeze again.
In fact, even his breathing became a little hurried for a moment!
"Is that so?"
"Sir, why don't you explain this example?”
"In the third year of Hongwu, the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, became a vassal of Xi'an Prefecture.”
"In the eleventh year of Hongwu, His Majesty personally issued an edict. The people of Shanzhou had just escaped the suffering of war.”
"However, not only did the King of Qin not listen, he recruited the people, abused labor, and built a large number of buildings. The King of Qin's residence that he built was even more magnificent than the Imperial Palace of Yingtian Prefecture! This move caused the people of Shanzhou to complain endlessly, and there were even several uprisings of the people, resulting in the return of war!”
"In the 13th year of Hongwu, the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, had been hogging wealth in his fief for years and embezzling the people's fat. As a result, the people and the army were in dire straits, and there was actually a matter of selling their children!”
"Hundreds of commoners stood in front of the mansion, demanding an explanation. However, the servants of the mansion killed an old man on the spot and captured nearly a hundred people!”
"In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, for the sake of the peace of the people, His Majesty ordered the Shanzhou Administrative Commissioner Division and the Capital Commander Division to settle down the Tubo people. However, when he succeeded, His Highness the King of Qin suddenly came to visit, captured hundreds of Tubo wives and daughters, and castrated more than 100 children!”
At this moment.
With every word Zhu Huai said.
The expressions of all the officials present changed.
Huang Zicheng's face was ashen, but as Su Huai's age approached the most important " age "!
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
In the back hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up. His face was ferocious as he muttered to himself,
"Enough! Enough!"
Zhu Yunwen panicked.
Similarly.
Because if he continued to say this, a "shocking word" that would make all the officials, himself, Imperial Grandfather, and even the entire Great Ming half paralyzed would appear!
To Imperial Grandfather himself, it was even more heart-wrenching!
As expected…
The young man's powerful voice continued.
"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, worked hard for the people. He built a wine pond and a meat forest in the palace. He and the concubines in the palace tortured the palace maids for fun.”
"His Majesty is furious! Therefore, he wanted to summon the King of Qin back to the capital and abolish his title!”
"However, His Highness the Crown Prince is currently on his way to Shanzhou to inspect Xi'an Prefecture, but he is caught in a dilemma because of the King of Qin's plea.”
"In my anxiety, I actually caught a cold on the way back.”
"So much so that…"
When Su Huai said this, his voice paused slightly.
He looked at Huang Zicheng, but the latter didn't dare to meet his gaze at all. He kept avoiding his gaze.
"Shut up!" Zhan Hui, Yang Jing, and the other ministers stood up.
However…
Su Huai blurted out.
"I can't stand it!"
"The Great Ming's inheritance shall end here!"
