Zhang Ren greeted Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Han Qin, then looked at Zhang Ren defensively, and then said: "Zhang Ren is indeed a pretty good boy. You two are of a similar age and look, but this guy doesn't even have a title. I have really wronged Qin'er, and if you want me to grant you a marriage, I'm afraid we still need to discuss it."
Although Han Qin was usually carefree, when it came to matters between men and women, she still blushed with embarrassment. She hurriedly turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Huang, what are you talking about? I don't plan to get married yet!"
Zhang Ren also looked at Han Qin with a wary look, and hurriedly waved his hands crazily towards the emperor, thinking: Even if you want to marry me, I still won't agree!
Think about it, what would it be like to marry this little devil back home? This girl has never been unreasonable and loves to hit people at every turn. Even if Zhang Renkong has martial arts skills, he would not dare to do anything when facing Han Qin. Moreover, if the two of them have a quarrel, Han Qin will be behind her. Standing next to the two giant Buddhas are Zhu Yuanzhang and Luo Kedi. Will he still be alive by then? Not to mention that after finally traveling through time and marrying a few more wives, there is no need to even think about it. This is the bad habit of the feudal dynasty that Zhang Ren, as a modern person, likes most.
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, like a father who didn't want a pig to steal his good cabbage. His head was full of questions and he asked: "Not for the marriage? Then why did you two come here together?"
Zhang Ren hurriedly said: "Today, the minister received a mission to inspect the Pingliang Marquis Mansion."
Seeing that they were talking about business, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his stereotyped look. He stroked his beard and said, "You have just been relieved of your duties, and Jiang Yu has given you such an important task. It shows that he still cares about you." I respect you very much. You guys do a good job, and I also think highly of you."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is stern, he also has a down-to-earth side. He always calls himself "I" when he talks in daily life, and he only calls himself "I" on very serious occasions.
Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I thank your majesty for your appreciation, but..."
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly!"
Zhang Ren took a deep breath and said: "The Marquis of Pingliang committed a serious crime and deserved his death, but the other people in the Marquis of Pingliang's mansion are innocent! I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive these people for their crimes."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Forgiveness? You also know that Fei Ju's sins are serious! Zhang Ren, it was you who beat the drum to complain and sued Fei Ju, and now you are here to intercede for the people in his house?"
Zhang Ren nodded, knelt directly on the ground, and said: "I believe that your majesty is a wise king. If the Marquis of Pingliang commits a crime, he should not implicate other people! I beg your majesty to forgive those innocent people!"
Zhang Ren's words were resounding, but Zhu Yuanzhang's face gradually turned cold, "What? I want you to teach me how to do things? What Fei Ju committed was a serious crime of treason. If I don't kill him, it will be because of his standing in the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of a lot of merit, I only want him, his concubine and his son's life, and the rest of the family will send the women to the Jiaofang Secretary and send the men to exile thousands of miles away. This is already considered very merciful!"
Zhang Ren immediately said: "But his concubine doesn't know anything, and his son is only three years old. Your Majesty, can you really be so cruel as to kill them? As for the servants in the mansion, they are even more innocent. They are just servants, they cannot choose their own life, let alone their master's family, is His Majesty not even willing to let them go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, pointed at Zhang Ren and asked: "Since I came to power, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this, Zhang Ren! It is a serious crime for you to plead for the traitor! Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry, Han Qin immediately grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve with one hand, picked up the tea cup on the side with the other hand, and said: "Grandpa Huang, please drink a cup of tea to calm down your anger. If you are angry, your health will be bad."
In the entire Ming Dynasty, probably only the late Empress Ma and Han Qin could persuade Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea, looked at Han Qin, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. He glanced at Zhang Ren and asked coldly. Said: "Zhang Ren, I ask you, if killing one person can bring peace to the whole village, what choice should you make?"
Zhang Ren thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if this person is a good person or a bad person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This man is a good man who is praised by people from all over the country."
Zhang Ren replied: "Of course a good person cannot be killed."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If killing one person can bring peace to a village, no matter good or bad, I will definitely kill him! If killing a hundred people can bring peace to a city, I will definitely kill him! If killing 10,000 people can bring peace to a country, I will definitely kill him!" , I will definitely kill you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, his body full of domineering aura.
He looked at Zhang Ren who was kneeling on the ground and continued: "I am the king of the Ming Dynasty. What I care about is the whole world, not whether a person is innocent. If the world is peaceful, it is acceptable to kill some innocent people! Fei He has committed the serious crime of treason. If I don't kill his wife and children, isn't the price of treason too light? I just want to kill people, and kill them in mountains of blood! In this way, when those who have ulterior motives want to You only feel fear when you rebel! I! It’s for this world!”
Zhang Ren had to admit that what Zhu Yuanzhang said was reasonable, but Zhang Ren was just an ordinary person and could not be cruel. He knew that the consequences of disobeying Zhu Yuanzhang might be serious, but now that the matter was over, he still wanted to do something for the Pingliang Hou Mansion. Innocent people fight for a chance to survive.
Zhang Ren kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, looking very solemn, and said: "Wei Chen's vision is too narrow, and he cannot see the world. All Wei Chen can see is the three-thirds of an acre of land right now. Maybe your Majesty, you are Yes, but Weichen couldn't remain indifferent when looking at those innocent eyes. Weichen sincerely begs Your Majesty to forgive those innocent people!"
The more calm and calm Zhang Ren spoke, the angrier Zhu Yuanzhang became. He picked up a pile of memorials and smashed them on the ground. He pointed at Zhang Ren and said, "Okay! You are such a stinky and tough kid! You are the only one who wants to be a kid." A good person, right? Okay! I will help you today! I..."
Han Qin on the side didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament. She knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to say must be to punish Zhang Ren. The emperor kept his word and could not change it easily, so Han Qin immediately stopped him and said: "Grandpa Huang, You are very true to your word, you just said you would promise me ten things."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Ren fiercely, then frowned at Han Qin. Finally, he did not say what to punish Zhang Ren, but asked: "Okay, Qin'er, tell me, I want some." What?"
Han Qin smiled and immediately said: "Ten items are really too many. Qin'er is not greedy. She only wants two things from Grandpa Huang. That kid Fei Xuan is very cute. It would be a pity to kill him. Otherwise, please forgive me." Let's go to those people in Pingliang Hou's Mansion, and Zhang Ren, this guy is as smelly and hard as a rock, don't get along with him, and don't get angry with him."
