After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Yunqi understood the meaning of his words.
Mrs. Lu is the daughter of Lu Ben, the minister of Taichang Temple.
These memorials, if they were normal times, would not be a big deal. They could be regarded as impeachments made by the officials who were idle and bored.
With the Crown Princess as their backer, the charges they impeached Lu Ben were not serious.
But now that Zhu Yuanzhang is interested, these must be discussed again.
Some things are not as heavy as two or two if they are not weighed. If they are weighed, even a thousand catties cannot stop them.
"Old slave, I will find out those documents now and send them back to the Sixth Department for re-examination by Shi Zhong and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Yun Qi responded respectfully and bowed again.
For the sake of Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang could not touch the Lu family, but it was not that he could not touch the Lu family.
With hints from Zhu Yuanzhang and Yun Qi, the impeachment papers for Lu Ben were handed over to the court the next day like snowflakes.
What was originally a trivial crime has become serious.
He has no political agenda and seizes the homeland privately.
All sins will be dealt with severely.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, Jin Yiwei checked the evidence and was naturally very efficient.
In just two or three days, Lu Ben, his disciples, and relatives who were domineering in their hometown were all sent to prison.
"What...what's going on?"
Mrs. Lu was in the East Palace, looking at the letter asking for help in her hand, her brows knitted together.
On her desk, there were many unopened letters asking for help.
In just a few days, her family members were sent to prison one by one.
Even after all her good words, she still couldn't figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
"Concubine?"
Zhu Yunwen walked in from the door, looked at the frowning Lu, and stood there in surprise, looking at the letter in Lu's hand in confusion.
"What brings you to me?"
Looking at Zhu Yunwen, Mrs. Lu forced herself to calm down, frowned and asked.
"Some of my cousin's servants just sent a letter, asking me to intercede for them."
Zhu Yunwen did not dare to hide anything and respectfully stated his purpose this time.
In fact, he couldn't make up his mind on this matter.
It is a fact that these cousins of mine are domineering in the local area.
But he couldn't bear to see his relatives in prison.
Faced with a dilemma, he came to Lu to ask what he could do.
"Mother, what are these letters?"
Just looking at the letters on the table, Zhu Yunwen was stunned.
"These are also letters asking for help."
Lu impatiently put a letter into Zhu Yunwen's hand and snorted coldly.
Zhu Yunwen took the letter and read it carefully for a while.
The letter was filled with the punishments they received in prison, which made people feel a little frightened.
"Then, shall I go and intercede with my cousin tomorrow?"
Seeing his mother's family living in such pain, Zhu Yunwen finally couldn't bear it and asked hesitantly.
"Can't!"
However, Madam Lu stopped Zhu Yunwen's actions without even thinking about it.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen must not come forward.
How will Zhu Yunwen convince the public in the future as he has a dignified grandson and protects his guilty ministers?
After Lu finished speaking, she fell silent again.
In just a few days, she, the Lu family, had become the target of public criticism. Not to mention that she was the crown prince, even the courtiers would not give her the face of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's eldest grandson and future emperor.
If there was no one behind this, she wouldn't believe it.
"There is no news about Zhang Zhong who was sent out..."
"Yunwen!"
Madam Lu seemed to remember something and immediately asked Zhu Yunwen.
"That kid!"
"Have you found out the origin of that child?"
She asked several questions in succession, not caring about her manners as a princess, and even looked a little crazy.
Her intuition told her that all this was related to the child picked up by Zhu Yuanzhang.
She had a guilty conscience and was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would find out something from the child.
Such an action shocked Zhu Yunwen.
This was the first time he saw his mother-in-law like this.
"No."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head in disappointment. He didn't find much from the child. He only knew that Grandpa Huang loved the child very much.
"The child was arranged by Grandpa Huang to go to the Daming Palace. Not many people see the child."
Speaking of the child, Zhu Yunwen was also a little jealous.
Even the most pampered me has never lived in Grandpa Huang’s Daming Palace.
"This child..."
Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang loved this child so much, Lu's crazy eyes showed a trace of murderous intent, but then he shook his head helplessly.
The child was arranged to the Daming Palace, and there was nothing he could do about the child.
"Yunwen, listen..."
She thought for a while, then stared helplessly at Zhu Yunwen, and explained in a serious voice.
Zhu Yunwen also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Listen, don't go out these days and concentrate on your studies. Don't see anyone who comes to you for help. Draw a clear line!"
Lu knew that several of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons also had ambitions for the throne.
In order not to shake Zhu Yunwen's position as the future emperor, he could only draw a clear line between him and these guilty officials.
As for my relatives, I can only suffer them...
"yes."
Although Zhu Yunwen was a little confused, he still seriously agreed to his mother's order.
For several days, he stayed behind closed doors, and all the guests who came to the door were kicked out by Zhu Yunwen.
Within a few days, under Zhu Yuanzhang's instruction, all the guilty members of the Lu family were beheaded and those who deserved had their homes confiscated.
Even those who were not guilty of any crime and were related to the Lu family were implicated and demoted.
Suddenly, the court was shaken, and there was another bloody storm.
It wasn't until everyone involved was dealt with and Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied that he became quiet.
Zhu Ming didn't know anything about what was going on outside.
He only knew that he had moved from the original side palace to a new place. When he listened to the discussion of the eunuchs and maids, he realized that this was the Daming Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang lived.
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished handling government affairs, he would come to see him first before going back to his residence to rest.
Sometimes when I got tired of reading the memorial, I would read it while holding him in my arms. While watching, tell him how to deal with this kind of thing.
Although in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, how could Zhu Ming, a child, understand this?
He was just entertaining the children to relieve their boredom.
But Zhu Ming had seen too much, and he also wrote down the methods of handling these government affairs.
Other times, he is a child who only needs to eat when he is hungry and sleep when he is sleepy.
After living for so many years in my previous life, I had never lived such a comfortable life.
The only thing that was boring was watching the eunuchs, maids, and sometimes wet nurses, and even Yunqi, amusing themselves with boring toys.
I have to pretend to be happy and respond to them.
