Zhu Bai asked the man what that man looked like.
The guy said he was just an ordinary middle-aged man. He looks ordinary, dresses ordinary, and even speaks without an accent.
If thrown into the crowd, he might not be able to recognize it.
Zhu Bai sneered: What a plan. Even this man was carefully chosen.
Now that the matter has been investigated, it can only be shelved.
------
Probably because life has been so smooth recently, with a lot of money collected, the treasury is full, and the victims have been rescued, Lao Zhu has forgotten how hateful Yan Guan is.
This morning, Qin Tianjian came out again and said: "Your Majesty, the astrological changes have not improved. In March, Yinghuo invaded Jingsu. Now it has just entered April, Yinghuo invaded Guisu again. It is less than a month before King Yan's wedding. , such a chaotic star situation may be detrimental to King Yan."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the Qin Tianjian: Hey, once the skills are advanced, they will poke Lao Zhu's weakness.
But yes, the wedding was still far away, so it was useless to talk about it.
Sure enough, although Zhu Yuanzhang looked bad, he did not have a direct attack.
Then the imperial censor stood up and said: "Last year there were constant famines, I am afraid God will be angry. I ask your Majesty to issue an imperial edict for the sake of King Yan."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly: "Okay, tell me what we didn't do well."
The imperial censor raised his head and was about to make a generous statement, but when he met Zhu Yuanzhang's cold-blade gaze, all his voice was strangled in his throat.
In the end, he suppressed his blush and couldn't muster the courage to say a word.
Zhu Bai was secretly amused: Haha, they are indeed embroidered pillows, with silver-like pewter gun heads, and they will become angry if they show their true colors.
In the past, Zhu Bai only read about Lao Zhu's actions from history books and felt that he was overbearing, barbaric and cruel.
But now I feel that if Lao Zhu were any weaker, he would not be able to win the throne from these military attachés. Even if he did win the throne, he would be devoured by these civil servants.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around coldly again: "Does anyone want to say something for the imperial censor?"
It is obvious that no matter who dares to say anything about Lao Zhu, he will die here today. Naturally, no one is stupid enough to have to get into trouble.
Lao Zhu won't change anyway, so why bother with his own fate.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "That's right, we have nothing wrong, why should we issue an edict to sin against ourselves?"
Song Lian suddenly came out of the queue with great dignity and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted: "Yeah."
Song Lian shook his white beard and said: "If the emperor really wants to ask for advice humbly, he can issue an edict to everyone in the world to solicit opinions."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he almost flipped the table: Damn! You pedantic old man! Do we really want to ask for advice? We want you to shut up!
Liu Bowen immediately came out and said: "Master Song, this method is very good. It can not only show the emperor's thirst for talents, but also let the people of the world know that the emperor is open-minded."
Then all the officials came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"The Emperor is truly a wise king, comparable to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Zhu Bai sighed secretly: Alas...
Checkmate.
If Lao Zhu even rejects this memorial, he will be said to be stingy and intolerable by the world's literati.
Song Lian didn't know whether he was really an old fool or just pretending to be an old fool. This move was really accurate and ruthless.
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, and the courtiers were spitting and dancing below, talking about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to Song Taizu.
Lao Zhu's face became increasingly ugly.
Zhu Di suddenly came out, knelt down and said loudly: "Since it is the son and minister who are getting married, if there is really any guilt, it is the son and minister who should pray to God for forgiveness. The father cannot be allowed to suffer for the son."
The hall suddenly became silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, looking at Zhu Di, the corners of his eyes suddenly sore: Good son, you actually came out to help us block the knife.
Zhu Biao also knelt down: "My son is the eldest son, and he should bear the wrath of God."
Zhu Bai applauded secretly: Beautiful! It has to be me, Emperor Yongle!
If you force Lao Zhu, I will force Zhu Biao!
Originally, only the emperor was qualified to issue the edict. Even if someone replaces him, only Zhu Biao, as the eldest son and future monarch, is qualified.
Zhu Feng did not intend to say anything at first.
Zhu Di stepped forward, and Zhu Biao had no choice but to go up.
Otherwise, from now on, the world will only know that there is King Yan, but not the prince.
In Lao Zhu's heart, the status of Zhu Di and Zhu Biao will also be reversed.
Now it's Liu Bowen's turn and they are in a dilemma...
Sure enough, the main hall fell into deathly silence.
Liu Bowen moved out and saluted: "The prince is weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."
Damn it, use this to force Lao Zhu again.
It would be unethical to do this all the time.
Zhu Bai was a little angry.
Lao Zhu reluctantly snorted: "Then let's issue an order to collect them."
Zhengbai! Let's see who dares to say it!
------
Lao Zhu only knew that all the decent people in the court were dead, but he didn't know that the people never lacked such strong bones.
A man named Ye Boju actually wrote a three-thousand-word "Chen Yan Shu" in which he denounced Zhu Yuanzhang's ten major mistakes. Every article pierced Lao Zhu's lungs.
In particular, there is one sentence: "There are three faults in today's affairs: the enfeoffment is too extravagant, the punishment is too complicated, and the treatment is too fast."
It's just vicious and mean.
Not to mention Lao Zhu being angry, even Zhu Bai felt that this man was just looking for death.
After reading this, Lao Zhu's face turned green, and he asked people to run on a starry night and capture Ye Boju to Yingtian.
It sounds funny, but in fact, this guy is not even a public official. He is a Confucian teacher who is not popular in the county.
Just now Erhu came to report that Ye Boju had been taken to Yingtian Mansion.
Zhu Yuanzhang kept saying: "Bring him in, and we will shoot him with our own hands. Let him know what the majesty of the emperor is."
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, you must not do this."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a gloomy face, and asked word by word: "Why not?!"
Zhu Biao bit the bullet and said: "Since my father has ordered us to speak out, we must have the grace to accept criticism. If we kill Ye Boju today, no minister will dare to tell the truth in the future."
"Damn it, you are so brave now that you dare to talk back." Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "That day in the court, you stood on the same side as the officials, and today you won't let us kill Ye Boju. Let's see. Ye Boju was instigated by you, you just want your brothers to have no food to eat in the future, so that you can dominate alone."
Zhu Bai was in a dilemma: Logically speaking, he should support Zhu Biao in opposing enfeoffment.
But Lao Zhu was so angry right now that if he came out to object again, it would add fuel to the fire.
Zhu Biao was exposed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was ashamed and angry. He rubbed his neck and said: "Ye Boju made a suggestion according to the imperial edict. If my father doesn't like it, you don't have to accept it. But if my father insists on killing him because of this, it will be shameful." Better than Jie and Zhou."
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth: "I will let you know what Jie and Zhou are today!!"
Then he picked up the paperweight on the table and headed toward Zhu Biao with murderous intent.
Damn it, forget about the soles of your shoes, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to kill Zhu Biao all at once! !
