Zhang Yu still knelt on the ground and did not speak to argue.
Many courtiers also came out one after another to accuse Zhang Yu of violating military discipline and misbehavior. They all looked as if they wanted to eat Zhang Yu on the spot. Their central thought was that Zhang Yu would not be punished if he did not kill him. According to national law, not killing is not enough to make the people angry!
Zhang Yu still looked calm and did not argue, but Zhang Ren stood behind him like an ant on a hot pot. Uncle, you are talking.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and asked, "Zhang Yu, do you have anything to say?"
I saw Zhang Yu kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang and said in a voice like a bell: "The pure ones will become clear themselves, and the dirty ones will become dirty themselves. I believe that your majesty will give a fair punishment."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people in the court, waved his hands, and said: "The army has returned from an expedition. It is not appropriate to add more blood after such a great victory. Zhang Yu will go home first to wait for help."
When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill people, he didn't care whether it was the return of the army or a great victory. As long as the butcher's knife was raised, there would be heads rolling down into rivers of blood.
It should be noted that Zhu Yuanzhang has always had zero tolerance for corruption, not to mention that now it involves the army's food and grass. Even if he really doesn't want to kill, he usually puts people on death row first, but now Zhang Yu just goes home to wait for help?
What does this mean? Anyone with discerning eyes in the hall could see that Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously favoring Zhang Yu.
How could Lan Yu be willing to do it? He was kneeling on one knee instead of kneeling on both knees. He said, "Your Majesty! Zhang Yu..."
Before Lan Yu finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang raising his hand. A light flashed in his eyes and he said, "Okay! Let's leave this matter to Zhang Yu for now! Pass on my decree: General Lan Yu He defeated the remnants of the Mongols and was granted the title of Duke of Liang."
Lan Yu knew that he might not be able to kill Zhang Yu today. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes. He could only kowtow to express his gratitude and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Zhang Yu also kowtowed and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness."
The court meeting has come to an end, Zhang Yu and Zhang Ren's uncle and nephew have returned to the mansion. From today on, as long as the verdict is not handed down, the uncle and nephew will not be able to leave the mansion.
After the court meeting was over, Lan Yu was naturally left behind. How to place the prisoners, how to reward the generals below, and the details of the war, there were still many things that needed to be reported.
Lan Yu followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the imperial study room and reported everything in detail.
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he nodded and said, "Not bad."
He seldom praises people, especially to courtiers. It is not easy to get even two words of praise.
Lan Yu looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang likes to be straightforward, and he dislikes courtiers who mince words the most. Seeing Lan Yu's appearance, he frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
But Lan Yu knelt down directly on the ground and asked: "Your Majesty, the humble minister is brave enough to ask your Majesty to deal with Zhang Yu. His greed for money and food is only superficial. He also killed the prisoners in vain, and on the way back to the army, he also took a piece of the Mongolian remnants. A princess, causing that princess to hang herself."
Lan Yu didn't dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang in the main hall just now, but there were only two of them in the imperial study room, and Lan Yu relied on himself to destroy the last remnants of Dayuan and made an immortal contribution, so he still had the courage to say it Come out, how could he not understand the principle of killing a snake instead of suffering its consequences?
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You are really brave."
Although his voice was soft, it already frightened Lan Yu to death.
Lan Yu grabbed the ground with her head and said hurriedly: "My heart can be revealed by the sun and the moon!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face became colder and colder, and he asked, "Why didn't you tell me during the meeting just now?"
Lan Yu didn't dare to raise her head and said: "Master Wang's Northern Expedition was originally a righteous army, but greedy for money and food is no longer good-looking, let alone such unjust things as killing captives and seizing princesses. It's really not nice to say it, and it goes against our dynasty." The reputation of being a master."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, and for a while, the imperial study room fell into extreme silence. Except for the sound of Lan Yu's Adam's apple rolling due to nervousness, there was no sound.
The quieter the environment, the scarier it sometimes feels. Blue
Yu didn't want to stay in this environment for one more second, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your Majesty is too lenient to Zhang Yu, Zhang Ren's uncle and nephew. What Zhang Yu committed His crime is unpardonable, and Zhang Ren is even more perverse at his young age, yet Your Majesty still had the patience to summon him alone in the imperial study several times, which is really inappropriate."
After a long while, Zhu Yuanzhang finally said: "I know that you are dedicated to serving the public good. I will find someone to verify what Zhang Yu has committed. Okay, you get up first."
Lan Yu was relieved, and he answered, "Yes."
After saying that, he stood up slowly. If you look carefully, you will find that sweat is already visible on Lan Yu's forehead. This general galloping on the battlefield is fearless on the battlefield, but he is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang alone.
Seeing that Lan Yu had risen, Zhu Yuanzhang marked a memorial with a red pen, stamped it with the royal seal symbolizing imperial power, handed it forward, and said: "The rewards for these generals who went on this expedition." , I have approved it, please go to the Ministry of War and hand over this memorial."
Lan Yu immediately took the memorial with both hands, cupped her fists and said "yes".
Then Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, please go ahead."
Lan Yu bowed his body and slowly exited the imperial study. He was unwilling to fail to convict Zhang Yu this time, but Zhu Yuanzhang still refused to spit, and he had no choice.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the desk, finished processing the memorials at hand, then stretched his muscles and slowly walked out of the imperial study.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the door immediately came up and followed Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked back and suddenly said: "How many people are serving in the imperial study?"
The foreman next to him immediately said: "Reporting to your Majesty, there are a total of sixteen palace servants at your disposal. Among them are eight chamberlains and eight palace maids. They are responsible for sweeping and serving on weekdays, bringing you tea and water, fanning in the summer, and burning in the winter. These people are also responsible for Earth Dragon. If His Majesty wants to summon any courtier, these people are also responsible for reporting it."
The foreman eunuch usually followed Zhu Yuanzhang wherever he went, and he also knew the palace people very well.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Okay, there's no need to follow me, just stay here."
All the eunuchs and maids immediately bowed and said "yes".
Zhu Yuanzhang walked a few more steps, but found that the foreman eunuch was still following him, so he said, "I told you, you don't need to follow, just wait here."
The head eunuch also looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, how can you not have anyone by your side? This old slave is your personal servant."
