Zhu Bai returned to the palace, thought about it again and again, and went to the imperial study room to tell Lao Zhu about it.
As a result, Lao Zhu sat at the desk and said nothing: "I know, it's normal that he can't let you go."
As soon as Zhu Bai left, Lao Zhu couldn't stop crying: "Lao Wu, our stupid son. Although you look the stupidest, you are the most honest of all the children. We don't regret killing that woman at all. .She deserves to die! I just feel sorry for you and the fourth child. We haven’t had a biological mother since we were young. We only feel sorry for you."
------
As soon as Zhu Chu left, Lao Zhu started working on Hu Weiyong's case.
It has been almost a year since Hu Weiyong was arrested.
Zhu Biao suddenly discovered that the list he made was actually of little use.
The person Lao Zhu wants to kill will still be killed. Even if Zhu Biao listed people that Lao Zhu didn't want to kill, he wouldn't kill them either.
Lao Zhu originally wanted Hu Weiyong to kill three clans, but after Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao tried their best to dissuade him, he decided to kill only one clan and ransack their homes.
Lao Zhu gave Zhu Bai the job of confiscating the house again.
Anyway, whatever Zhu Bai can take or not, they are all in the palace. The difference is only in his bedroom or in the warehouse.
Zhu Bai and Queen Ma asked Yun Qi to come over for help.
Then he sat on the porch drinking tea and looking at the ledger, and Fugui Yunqi and the others took people into groups to do the counting.
Zhu Bai is no longer interested in silver.
I am tired of looking at ordinary jewelry and curios, antique calligraphy and paintings.
Therefore, unless Fugui and the others found something novel, they would bring it to Zhu Bai for inspection.
There are dozens of red corals two meters high, seven or eight screens carved from a single piece of jade, and five or six curtains made of chestnut-sized pearls.
There are countless calligraphy and paintings by various famous artists.
He actually prepared two sets of golden nanmu coffins for key emperors.
There are also sets of gold and Tian jade seals.
If his family is copied, the treasury will be full.
Is this bastard too ignorant or too stupid? He is afraid that others will not know that he has rebellious intentions.
Zhu Bai sighed while putting away all kinds of letters that colluded with his comrades.
This will be of great use in the future.
Speaking of which, Li Shanchang was actually a little unjust. He said he acquiesced to Li Cunyi, but in fact it can also be understood as not agreeing at all.
But Li Cunyi is Li Shanchang's biological brother. It seems impossible to say that Li Shanchang has nothing to do with this matter.
So Zhu Biao put him on the list.
After thinking for a long time, Lao Zhu finally removed Li Shanchang and Li Cunyi from the death penalty list, but dismissed Li Cunyi from office.
Although the reason given by Lao Zhu was that Li Cunyi had merit in reporting, the merit and demerit were equal to each other.
But everyone thinks it was probably Wu Zhen's death last year that saved Li Shanchang.
There are fewer and fewer old guys left around him day by day, and Lao Zhu doesn't want to kill another one with his own hands.
Li Shanchang survived, but was let go by Lao Zhu again without any expression.
Everyone said that Li Shanchang was sick and old and confused.
Zhu Bai sighed: As expected, Li Shanchang is the most cunning and understands Lao Zhu best.
The more confused Li Shanchang becomes, the less Lao Zhu can bear to kill him.
He no longer poses a threat to Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, so Lao Zhu will keep him with him for a few more days.
Only when Lao Zhu did not kill Li Qi did Ouyang Lun feel relieved.
He felt more and more that what Zhu Bai told him at that time was true to form: his glory, wealth, and even his life and fortune all depended on Princess Anqing. Nothing is important, only serving Princess Anqing well is the most important.
From the winter month of the twelfth year of Hongwu to the first month of the following year, Lao Zhu killed more than 10,000 people.
On average, the executioner killed more than a hundred people a day.
The knife had to be cut and rolled several times, which made the executioner extremely tired.
Zhu Bai passed by the market every day and saw people killing people there.
The entire Yingtian City was immersed in the strong smell of blood.
He couldn't help but mutter: "It's not an option to continue killing like this."
Zhu Biao was also uncharacteristically silent this time, because he knew that Lao Zhu was clearing the court for him. The most important thing is to abolish the Zhongshu Province, an institution that threatens the imperial power.
Zhu Bai didn't even intend to say anything.
Since Zhu Bai returned to Yingtian, Liu Bowen began to write to him again.
Ask Zhu Bai to talk to Lao Zhu and let him return to court.
Zhu Bai always burned the letter without thinking: There is something wrong with Liu Shengun's brain.
Especially after Liu Lian died, Liu Shengun became even more nagging.
He also didn't want to think about it. Now the Huaixi faction in the court was greatly damaged, and the power of Yanguan was getting stronger.
How could Lao Zhu bring him back to make Yan Guan even more powerful?
Besides, Liu Bowen always told Zhu Biao that Zhu Bai was a disaster and wanted Zhu Biao to attack me.
I still bother to get him back, causing trouble for myself?
The court is really full of dangers now. I just have to think of a way not to go to court.
Lao Zhu killed almost all the people in the prison, and began to wonder if he had missed anyone, and then added a few more.
Zhu Bai originally made up his mind not to say anything, but when he saw Wu Zhen on the list, he couldn't help but ask Lao Zhu: "Sir, it's a bit unfair that Wu Zhen is listed as an accomplice of Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong asked the Japanese pirates to intercept Wu Zhen, Wu Zhen's The injuries will make matters worse, and he will die from the injuries. Hu Weiyong clearly regards Wu Zhen as his enemy."
Lao Zhu's face sank: "Don't forget, Hu Weiyong recommended Wu Zhen to be the commander of Dingliao Shipping. It is not unfair at all that he is considered a member of the Hu Party."
Zhu Bai: "At that time, Hu Weiyong recommended him to be the commander of Ding Liao Shipping in order to free up the coast of Zhejiang to allow Japanese pirates to invade and cooperate with him internally and externally. If he were designated as a Hu Party member, it would probably hurt the hearts of the people and military attachés all over the world."
Besides, Wu Zhen is dead. To smear a dead man who is also an anti-Japanese hero is unwise and unfair.
Wu Zhen's subordinates are still the main force in the fight against Japan.
Zhu Biao also said: "Father, it is indeed inappropriate to list Wu Zhen as a 'Hu Party'. Father, please think again."
Wu Zhen was not from Zhongshu Province, and he indeed had no collusion with Hu Weiyong.
Doing so will do more harm than good.
Lao Zhu frowned and said, "This matter has been decided, there is no need to say anything more."
Zhu Bai thought for a while, then leaned over and leaned against Lao Zhu and said: "I am wise and powerful, and must have foresight. A fool like you, Chen, cannot understand the subtleties of it. I beg you to give me some advice."
Lao Zhu snorted: "We plan to make Wu Baoer your princess."
Zhu Bai was stunned, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Wu Baoer's brother Wu Zhong is very good at fighting and can compete with Wu Zhen.
If Wu Zhen is designated as a "Hu Party", then Wu Zhong, who inherited Wu Zhen's title, will be expelled.
To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu is still afraid that the harem will interfere with politics, and that Wu Zhong will be too strong to interfere in my affairs in the future.
Or, to be more gloomy, I am too strong now. I have everything but lack military power.
If I married Wu Baoer and Wu Zhong was still in office, I would even have military power.
If Lao Zhu really thinks so, then when I get older, I will kill Hu Mei. Because Hu Mei has greater military power.
