Zhu Yuanzhang's character was suspicious and suspicious.
It has a lot to do with his own preference for in-depth research.
In the words of later generations, he can be regarded as a reasoner.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his second son Zhu Xi fiercely, without saying anything, just watching carefully.
Zhu Xi didn't dare to look at his father. Feeling guilty, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly to avoid it.
Even at this time, he still imagined that this matter would not involve Deng.
His father generally did not monitor matters in the mansion, and Zhu Xi also knew about this situation.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang had not talked to Zhu Ying about Deng's affairs, so he might not have any clue at this time.
But after chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang could easily think of it.
The only way to make his son lie to him is to save that person.
In Prince Qin's palace, the only person who could ask his son to protect him was Deng.
After thinking about it like this, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and scolded:
"Tell me, did you give her the courage to break our jade pendant? Just a concubine can make you forget your mother and your father!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand and the anger in his words.
Zhu Xi panicked all of a sudden. He couldn't even think of why his father immediately knew that this jade pendant was thrown by the second concubine Deng.
But he suddenly said that he was the one who instigated it and blamed himself.
So he subconsciously argued: "Father, how could a son do such a thing? All this is just because Deng didn't know it was the jade pendant from his father, and thought it was an apology gift from the teahouse."
"Then I got a little angry. Before I could stop him, I fell like this."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't understand what his son was thinking.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer as furious as before.
He just sneered and summoned Jiang Wei to come in.
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Wei had no expression on his face and knelt down on one knee.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Deng Yu, Deng Yu, your great reputation in life will be ruined most by your own daughter."
After finishing speaking, he ordered to Jiang Wei: "It is our decree that Deng, the second concubine of the King of Qin, deceived the emperor and showed shortcomings in virtue. I will give you a pot of poisonous wine to show your dignity."
"I obey the order!" Jiang Wei turned around and left after receiving the order.
Zhu Xi, who was lying on the ground, was trembling all over. His throat swallowed several times, but he did not dare to speak.
He didn't dare to plead out loud.
After hesitating for a long time, he said with some trembling: "Thank you, Father, for your grace."
This is indeed considered grace.
It was also Zhu Yuanzhang who believed that although the second concubine Deng was a concubine, she could still be regarded as a member of his own family.
Perhaps it was also to show some favor to Deng Yu.
In November of the tenth year of Hongwu, Deng Yu died of illness.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he burst into tears and stopped going to court for three days. He personally welcomed Deng Yu's coffin to pay homage. He posthumously named Deng Yu the King of Ninghe, with the posthumous title of Wushun, and his portrait was hung in the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice.
Zhu Yuanzhang also personally selected the cemetery and buried Deng Yu in Yuhuatai, Nanjing. Six pairs of stone men and horses were placed in front of the tomb. The mountains were covered with pines and cypresses, and cutting firewood and hunting were prohibited.
He also ordered people to write Deng Yu's achievements into the "Records of Heroes of Hongwu".
Zeng said: Youde has been with us for twenty-two years, conquering east and west, going through all kinds of hardships, and guarding eight states, with no merits or demerits.
He even wrote in his own handwriting: He was born in Yuanfu, and he helped me to reach Kyushu. His merits and deeds can be traced back to him, but no one can compare with him. He is as majestic as the ruler, and he flows straight to the rivers and mountains.
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to investigate some of Deng's misdeeds.
Da Sun’s words must not be false.
If they really want to be liquidated, skinned and stuffed as grass, Ling Chi's execution would not be an exaggeration.
A pot of poisoned wine can still get a whole corpse.
"You evil son, just kneel here and think about your faults in front of the wall. You are not allowed to leave before dark."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xi bitterly.
After that, he went out directly.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was allowed to stay was because he took care of his son.
"My son obeys the decree!" There was a hint of crying in Zhu Xi's voice.
.......
"It seems that Japanese pirates will attack the coast of Ming Dynasty in the near future. This information is true."
In the yard, Zhu Ying was still checking the information.
It was a unique piece of information that caught his attention.
This is overseas information, obtained through overseas business.
What it tells is that the current war between Japanese pirates is coming to an end.
The current Japanese country really belongs to the Southern and Northern Dynasties period. There were two emperors, the southern and the northern emperors, at the same time, and they had their own inheritance.
Regarding when exactly the period of the Japanese Southern and Northern Dynasties ended, especially the history of the Japanese state.
How could Zhu Ying remember this?
He was just collecting information while selling snowflake salt to Japan.
The current situation in Japan is that Emperor Gogeyama of the Southern Dynasty was defeated all the way, and Emperor Gokomatsu of the Northern Dynasty has gained an absolute advantage.
The feudal lords who failed in the war organized warriors, merchants, and rogues to carry out armed smuggling, robbery and harassment in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
"My boss, this information happened a month ago. I am afraid that the Japanese pirates may have started to cross the sea and come to the Ming Dynasty."
Uncle Zhang said in a deep voice.
Uncle Zhang also hated Japanese pirates very much.
As the Jurchens of the East China Sea, that is, the savage Jurchen tribe, they often deal with Japanese pirates.
I hate the Japanese pirates so viciously that they even attack children less than the height of a wheel and pregnant women.
Even if they are called savages and have no sense of etiquette and integrity, they will not do such unscrupulous things after defeating other enemies or tribes.
Zhu Ying's face gradually darkened.
"Inform us immediately, mobilize all our forces in the coastal areas, and strictly guard against them. We must not let the Japanese pirates become too arrogant."
Hearing this, Uncle Zhang hesitated and said: "But boss, we don't have enough manpower in the coastal areas. I'm afraid..."
Zhu Ying frowned deeply when he heard this.
Of course he knew what was going on in the coastal areas.
Japanese pirates were a factor, and smuggling merchants were also a big problem.
Collusion with each other is the biggest cancer along the coast.
It was the Ming Dynasty that implemented a sea ban to stop it, otherwise its arrogance would become even more rampant.
This is not the first time Zhu Ying has dealt with these smuggling merchants.
On the surface, they are cooperating in the snowflake salt business and helping with sales.
There had been many bloody battles secretly, and Zhu Ying also lost a lot of men.
"We must find a way to make the court pay attention to this issue."
Zhu Ying began to think about countermeasures.
This time the impact is definitely more violent than before.
Affected by the maritime ban, Ming Dynasty could not get intelligence information and was completely unprepared for it.
By the time things broke out and the message was sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was obviously too late.
After thinking for a moment, the old man's figure flashed through his mind.
"It seems that this matter can only be done with the help of the old man's identity."
