Zhu Wenzheng had to be taken to and fro even to eat and sleep.
After only half a month, his hair was completely white, and he looked older than Zhu Yuanzhang.
One day, his wife saw him standing by the well in a daze, and was so frightened that she quickly pulled him back: "What are you doing? Don't let your mind wander."
As long as Zhu Wenzheng is alive, maybe Lao Zhu will restore his title to him one day.
But he suddenly smiled at his wife: "I understand."
The lady didn't know what he said, so she just sent him to bed.
The next morning, he was found to be cold and had been dead for a long time.
After all, Zhu Wenzheng was his only nephew, so although Lao Zhu was angry at him, he was really sad about his death for several days.
Lao Zhu felt that the title of King of Nanchang was unlucky, so he gave his nephew Zhu Shouqian the title of King of Jingjiang instead. He was hereditary and enjoyed the salary given by the court.
He was extremely benevolent and righteous towards Zhu Wenzheng.
-----
This year, rural examinations have been concluded one after another in various places.
According to the previous rules, various places sealed the top few articles and sent them to Lao Zhu for review.
Including the top ten in the provincial examination of Yingtianfu.
After Lao Zhu saw it, Long Yan was delighted.
The effect of encouraging official learning in recent years is still very obvious.
Needless to say, Lao Twelve is not very young, but he has a far-sighted vision.
At the beginning, he felt sorry for spending money, but now it seems that he still has to continue to do it.
If there had been a place like this for children from poor families to go to school for free when he was a child, he wouldn't have had such a hard time recognizing words later on.
In this year's provincial examination, Hu Weiyong and others have no intention or need to recruit party members.
Because Hu Weiyong was very uneasy when he heard that Zhu Bai had made a list of local officials for Zhu Biao.
Isn't this the rhythm of making a list and getting ready to do it?
Civil officials are indeed useless, Lao Zhu can kill him if he wants.
It is still necessary to place people in the Governor's Mansion and control the military power.
Hu Weiyong researched the people in the Governor's Office and decided to start with Feng Sheng.
Ever since Zhu Xi married Feng Qingqing, Lao Zhu had a lot of opinions about Feng Sheng.
He just needed a push.
Someone wrote an article to impeach Feng Sheng for hiding his camel and horse secretly during his expedition to the northwest.
Yan Guan always doesn't care which side he gets scolded from, he will scold him anyway if he doesn't like it.
Not to mention that the perpetrator was their archenemy, the military attache.
Because all the military attaches were promoted quickly, they were envious and jealous.
So all the officials jumped out and said they needed to be investigated and punished severely! !
Check if Feng Sheng has anything else hidden secretly.
Check to see if there are any other military attachés hiding anything.
Lao Zhu was also very angry and asked people to search Feng Sheng's house. Sure enough, a camel was found in the backyard.
If it was a horse, that would be fine, because Feng Sheng was a military attache, and it was normal to have military horses at home.
It just so happens that only camels can be produced in the Western Regions.
The Guanya Bureau has not traded many camels in recent years, and a quick check revealed that the Feng family had never bought one.
Therefore, Feng Sheng could not deny it at all. He could only have failed to report it after capturing it during his expedition to the northwest.
The rules of the Ming Dynasty were that all captured weapons, packhorses and population must be reported and handled uniformly by the court.
This was done firstly because they were afraid that the generals would hide their weapons and pack their horses for rebellion, and secondly, they did not want the generals to kill and surrender and abuse the prisoners.
When we were still opening up new territories, Lao Zhu couldn't manage things so strictly.
After all, it's nothing to make money from women. What's important is that they are loyal to you and willing to sacrifice their lives for you.
For example, Chang Yuchun is a person who likes to kill and surrender.
No matter how much you scold me, you won’t listen.
Lao Zhu couldn't do anything against him because he was too good at beating.
When Chang Yuchun was around, Chang Yuchun stood in front of other generals to block all their outrageous behaviors.
Later, Chang Yuchun died and the Ming Dynasty was founded. Lao Zhu wanted to appease the world, so he became more strict on this matter.
After calculation, Feng Sheng secretly hid the packhorse after Chang Yuchun died and Lao Zhu issued a strict order.
Really defying the wind and the will.
Lao Zhu was so angry that he called Feng Sheng to the imperial study room.
Feng Sheng kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this camel is a camel cub captured by Wei Chen when he attacked Beiyuan. The mother camel died, and I thought that the cub was so small and could not carry anything, so it was not certain whether it would survive. I didn’t report it and kept it for the whole day. Now a few years have passed and the little camel has grown into a big camel. I am thinking about how to report it to the court."
Lao Zhu sneered: "Look, they say you are honest and mean-minded. I see you have learned to be cunning in the past few years. No one reported it, so you just thought it was okay. Now someone is impeaching you, and you said you are ready to report it. Do you think we are fools?"
Feng Sheng was also aggrieved: He is just a camel cub, how many times have I promised to fight for you, Lao Zhu.
Every time I was given a reward, I was excluded because of trivial matters.
A few years ago, the old account of Chen Sesame and Rotten Millet was also uncovered. Isn’t it just looking for trouble?
Zhu Biao is also in a dilemma: if someone doesn't follow the rules, he will be punished.
Otherwise, what's the use of setting rules?
But as for punishment, Feng Sheng had outstanding military achievements, and punishing him for such a trivial matter would hurt the general's heart.
Nowadays, there are wars everywhere, and Feng Sheng may be sent out one day.
Feng Sheng cast a look at Zhu Bai asking for help.
Zhu Xi is a bit stupid, but thanks to the Feng family, he can bear it.
Zhu Bai is also reluctant to do anything to save him.
Moreover, neither Zhu Biao nor Lao Zhu could protect Feng Sheng, so he was the only one to take action.
Zhu Bai said thoughtfully: "Mr. Feng has been raising this camel for many years. Why did these people not impeach him earlier or later, but they came to impeach him at this time? Interesting..."
Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao thought: Yes, who is the person who reported it?
Oh, Li You.
hehe. So that’s what happened.
Hu Weiyong had met with disappointment in various Beijing and Wei activities before.
It seems that he is planning to think of other ways.
Zhu Bai added: "How old that camel is, you can tell by checking its teeth. I think it would not be a big crime if Mr. Feng only kept a small camel. At worst, it would be over if Mr. Feng turned it in now. It would be equivalent to him. By raising them and using them for the imperial court, you are making a contribution to the imperial court."
Lao Zhu touched his chin: "That's right."
Feng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Bai added: "But it won't work if we don't punish Mr. Feng."
All three of them looked at him.
Zhu Bai smiled at them and said, "If you don't punish him, how can you know what those people want to do? I can only wrong Master Feng."
Feng Sheng prostrated on the ground: "For the sake of the Emperor and me, the Ming Dynasty will be forever consolidated, and I will do whatever I ask my humble ministers to do."
When he said this, Lao Zhu didn't want to be punished severely. He thought for a while and said, "Then you can go to Fengyang to train."
Feng Sheng was eager to leave Yingtian, a place of right and wrong, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I obey the decree and thank you for your kindness."
Lao Zhu will take action soon. If you stay here, you will become cannon fodder if you are not careful.
In the morning, Lao Zhu scolded Feng Sheng in front of all the civil and military officials, confiscated the camel, removed him from the governor's mansion, and sent him to Fengyang to train troops.
Yan Guan and Hu Weiyong were very satisfied.
Being removed from the Governor's Office is tantamount to being kicked out of the center of military power.
Although there is no fine or demotion, it is not far from that.
