At the same time, the atmosphere in Zhu Yuanzhang's study was somewhat solemn.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on top of the throne, stared coldly at Jiang Yu, who was standing below, with strong dissatisfaction in his eyes.
It was extremely quiet in the study room, and you could hear a needle drop. The chamberlain serving Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shudder in such an atmosphere.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally said, "Jiang Wei! Do you want to rebel?"
Jiang Wei bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said, "I am wronged."
Although his actions were extremely respectful, the smile on his lips seemed extremely frivolous, which made Zhu Yuanzhang even more unhappy.
"Unjustly accused? Where have I wronged you? Do you think I don't know about Zhang Ren and the Thousand-faced Man going to rob the execution site? I sent two masters, Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue, to suppress those two brats!"
Zhu Yuanzhang almost shouted. The chamberlain next to him didn't know how long it had been since he had seen such a rude emperor, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang somewhat lost his composure. At the beginning, he established a huge empire with just one bowl. Zhu Yuanzhang's life has transcended Shuangwen, and even Shuangwen did not dare to write like that.
Such Zhu Yuanzhang's ability and wisdom are naturally beyond words.
In addition, he has been the emperor for so many years, and he is extremely confident in his own abilities and plans. He is used to the feeling of being in control of everything he does, but the matter of the robbery of the law field this time is obviously no longer within Zhu Yuanzhang's control. How could this make him not angry?
But Zhu Yuanzhang's anger obviously did not frighten Jiang Wei. He said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise, Zhang Ren and Qianmianren are still young, and they will inevitably do something wrong. We are also worried that they will go the wrong way. This Didn't you and Luo Kedi teach those two boys a lesson? I dare you, I hope Your Majesty will spare them this time because they are still young."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily. He was no longer furious, and his tone was extremely calm. He just heard him say: "Jiang Yu, I am indeed old, but I am not blind or deaf. You Why do you need to put on a show for me?"
Jiang Wei lowered his head and said, "I don't understand what your majesty means."
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "Jiang Yu, I will give you another chance. You can think about it before you think about it."
Jiang Wei raised his head and said again: "I don't understand what your Majesty means."
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward, supported the desk with his hand and stood up: "Jiang Gu, I have given you the opportunity, but you don't want it. I ask you, where did those men in black come from? ?」
Hearing this, Jiang Wei knelt on one knee and said, "I have neglected my duty. The Jinyi Guards are already tracing the identities of those men in black, but so far, they still have not been able to find out the identities of those men in black. "
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what he was thinking at this moment. After a long time, he spoke again: "It's pointless if you keep hiding it like this. My patience is limited. You, the commander of the royal guards, will not recognize the iron." Zhang Zhong, the top Taoist? Wouldn’t he recognize those people from the Ming Cult? As for who is blocking Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue, do you need me to tell you?"
Jiang Wei said: "Sure enough, everything cannot escape His Majesty's discerning eyes. Yes, it was me and Luo Kedi who blocked Eunuch Jia and Grandma Sun."
….
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhu Yuanzhang did not rush to deal with Jiang Yu, but asked again: "Why? Luo Kedi is an old man of Mingjiao and is unwilling to contribute to the court. I admit this, but what about you, Jiang Yu? ?You are my most trusted minister. I entrusted the Royal Guards to you in the hope that you can play a good role, but this is how you repay my trust?"
The corners of Jiang Wei's mouth turned up again. He did not answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question, but said softly: "I remember that I was still a boy. It was very cold in the winter. There was air leakage in the house and no money to repair it. We couldn't even burn charcoal for heating at home. Even food could not be guaranteed to survive the winter. Everyone in my family died. I thought I was going to die too. It was at that time that I met His Majesty and Lord Mao Xiangmao. It was you who saved me."
When people get old, they will naturally lament the past, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. He leaned his back on the back of the chair and sighed: "Do you still remember these?"
Jiang Wei smiled, "That was the first full meal that Wei Chen had ever eaten since he could remember. How could he forget it? Later, Wei Chen followed His Majesty and Lord Mao. Later, when the Ming Dynasty was established, Your Majesty became a being respected by all people. Lord Mao He also became the first commander of the Imperial Guard. The Ming Dynasty at that time was really good, everyone could have enough to eat, but in this world, there were some people who didn’t want to live in peace, and Hu Weiyong actually wanted to usurp the Ming Dynasty..."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, suddenly raised his voice a few degrees, and said, "That's enough! Jiang Yu, do you think you will be spared if you talk to me about the past here?"
But Jiang Wei seemed not to have heard anything. He continued: "Fortunately, Your Majesty knocked Hu Weiyong into the dust. But at that time, people's hearts were unstable and too many people were involved. As a knife in His Majesty's hand, Jin Yiwei killed too many wives." Many people. In order to appease everyone’s resentment, His Majesty ordered Master Mao to be executed..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rose again and he said: "Jiang Yu! Are you blaming me?"
Jiang Wei looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, nodded, shook his head, and said: "It was strange at first, but I met Master Mao in prison. Master Mao had a good attitude. He told me that this was all His own choice to kill too many people will make the people of a country fearful. This fear is easily aroused and easily exploited by others. Therefore, only by the death of Master Mao can everyone's hearts be appeased and the people no longer feel that Fear. When I left the cell, Master Mao gave me his sword. He said that he wanted me to protect this country."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a few breaths and said in a cold voice: "So? Have you been planning? I can't understand many of the things you have done over the years. Now that you have talked about it today, I would like to ask you, what do you want? What are you going to do?"
Jiang Wei raised his head high and said, "Everything I have done is for the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't believe this. He stared at Jiang Yu with stern eyes, but he didn't find any clues on Jiang Yu's face.
Jiang Wei continued: "Killing can stop evil, but it cannot stop resentment and fear. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone should be filled with smiles, instead of everyone being filled with fear and resentment. So Wei Chen has been looking for someone. The person who can make Ming Dynasty come out of the darkness, the person who can make Jinyiwei come out of the darkness."
Although he was still angry, these words aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's interest, and he asked: "Found it?"
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, I found it. Wei Chen gave Zhang Ren the knife left by Master Mao."
Night rivers and lakes.
