Lao Zhu knew about Zhan Hui's situation in the palace.
Lao Zhu also knew what little thoughts Zhan Huicun had.
It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't want to participate in government affairs.
In addition to these little things, the eldest grandson can handle them easily.
Lao Zhu turned a blind eye to his former trusted subordinate.
But now that Zhan Hui has found Zhu Yuanzhang's head, the meaning is different.
Zhan Hui grew up at a young age and came from a poor family. If he wanted to find his own way, he had to be more ruthless and vicious than others.
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice is the highest recognition given to him along the way.
However, the longer he held power, the more he couldn't let it go. In fact, in order to hold on to power, Zhan Hui actually made such a low-level mistake.
"As for the second thing..."
After Zhan Hui heard His Majesty's voice, he raised his head and was met with an extremely cold gaze. Zhan Hui trembled all over and quickly buried his head again.
When Lao Zhu was in power, he always looked kindly towards Zhan Hui, which gave him an illusion.
That is, in His Majesty's heart, he is different from other ministers.
But now, Zhan Hui suddenly realized that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
In Mr. Hong Wu's heart, he is called a minister in a pleasant way, but he is just a dog in a bad way. It is normal for the owners to have different attitudes towards these dogs.
But in the final analysis, a dog is a dog. If Zhu Yuanzhang is useful, he will use it, and if it is not useful, he will discard it.
"I created this position for Shizhong, and I support the eldest grandson's appointment with both hands and feet.
We also know that Fang Xiaoru’s child is very loyal to our eldest grandson.
Haha, what's wrong? I’ll give you a job title from the Ministry of Punishment, and you’ll quit? "
Zhu Yuanzhang's words contained a gun and a stick. Although his tone was not serious, as if he was talking about family matters, every word he listened carefully was like a whip with thorns, hitting Zhan Hui hard.
"Your Majesty, this is not what I mean!"
Zhan Hui hurriedly kowtowed, half of his three souls and seven souls were frightened away.
He has worked for Lord Hongwu for many years, how come he can't understand the implication of Lord Hongwu's words?
First of all, I said that I set up the matter myself, which means that the behavior of the emperor was reasonable and legal.
When talking about the appointment of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang supported it with both feet and hands.
This is to remind Zhan Hui, let alone setting up a favor, even if Zhu Xiongying drastically changes the methods of his ancestors, Lao Zhu will support him.
At the same time, he also hit Zhan Hui, saying that the current Ming Dynasty court does not count. If you want to pull up our tiger skin, don't be afraid of losing your head.
If the previous words are a warning, then the next two sentences by Zhu Yuanzhang are naked threats.
Why is it emphasized that Fang Xiaoru is extremely loyal to his eldest grandson?
Then there are only three people in this palace. If they are not told to you Zhan Hui, then who are they told to listen to?
It is obvious that he is training himself and not being loyal enough to the emperor of the current dynasty.
Little Twenty-two was already frightened in Lao Zhu's arms, and his ears were filled with the sound of Zhan Hui's kowtow. No one knew what Little Twenty-two was thinking about as he watched this scene.
But one thing is certain, the scene before him has been deeply engraved in his mind, and he will never forget it again.
Lao Zhu's voice rang in Xiao Twenty-two's ears,
"Little twenty-two."
"Daddy, kid, listen!"
Xiao Twenty-two quickly recovered and responded.
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the child's hair and said lightly,
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, a second-grade official, not to mention the capital city, if you throw him in any state capital of the Ming Dynasty, he will be like a jade pillar holding the sky.
Haha, he stamped his feet, which made us tremble three times.
But now he has to kneel in front of us like a dog, begging us to spare his life.
Why? "
"Power...power..."
Little Twenty-Two's eyes flashed with a look that was not suitable for a child of this age, and he spoke in a strange way.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the back of Little Twenty-two in his arms. Old Zhu had more or less taught this lesson to his other sons, but Little Twenty-two hadn't yet.
I just want to take this opportunity to teach this kid a lesson.
"Yes, power, supreme power, the power to make all people bow."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were full of temptation, ringing in Xiao Er Er's ears,
Xiao Er Er looked at Zhan Hui, whose head was covered with blood, with complicated eyes.
Then, the sound in my ears suddenly shook,
"but!"
Little Twenty-Two trembled all over.
"Let me tell you, wear pants as big as your butt! No matter how powerful the emperor is, it has nothing to do with you!
Zhan Hui, the glory and wealth you enjoy now are not earned by yourself!
We rewarded you before! Now it is our eldest grandson who rewards you!
You don’t think that your hard work and talent are what made you come from a humble family to where you are now, right? "
Zhan Hui, the Minister of Punishment, raised his head blankly, blood gurgling down his forehead and flowing into his eyes, but his eyes were still wide open.
My destiny should have been to inherit my father's legacy, to be a farmer. When the sun was shining, I would sit in the fields and drink. At night, when I came home, there would be a big-assed woman under the covers.
But he broke his fate and walked step by step from the unnamed countryside to the capital, becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, subordinate to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Could it be that, didn’t you earn all this by yourself?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed pity and ridicule, and this look hurt Zhan Hui's heart again.
It was as if he had been stripped of his official uniform and stood naked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhan Hui, who has taken off his official uniform, seems to be no different from Zhan Hui, who should be a farmer.
"You are wrong to think so, haha, you are so wrong.
We want you to remember that even if you are reincarnated as a pig or dog in your next life, don’t forget it!
You have made it this far because we lacked a knife and a dog, so we have you.
But today you feel that you deserve everything you have today, and you are greedy and want more!
Even if you don't hesitate to pull us out and give you false pretense?
idiot! You stupid pig! "
The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the angrier he became. He pointed at Zhan Hui and cursed,
"You are just a dog! You will bite whoever we ask you to!
Whoever our eldest grandson tells you to bite, you will bite with all your might!
You are not even worthy of being a dog now! "
Zhan Hui was stunned, his limbs softened, and he felt like a puddle of water melted on the ground.
During these days, the greed for power that arose in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Lao Zhu's words caused tons of harm to him.
An extremely proud and arrogant person was demoted to be worthless by Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister deserves to die..."
Zhan Hui crawled towards Zhu Yuanzhang and prayed for mercy. There is not even half of the dignity he had when he walked into the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in disgust,
"Go away, resign and stop doing this."
Zhan Hui's face was covered with a mixture of tears and blood. After hearing His Majesty's words, he kowtowed as if he had been granted amnesty,
"Thank you for your majesty's holy grace! Thank you for your majesty's holy grace!"
