"Dong Guo Liang has a sharp tongue. Everyone says that Duke Liang is not good at speaking. But according to the official's opinion, what everyone knows is untrue. If we go by what Duke Liang said, Duke Liang had already received the third prize a month ago. Thirty-five adopted sons, why don’t I see anyone impeaching me? Could it be that Liang Guogong’s hands and eyes are all over the sky, and his followers are already densely packed in the court?"
These words were heartbreaking. Even though Lan Yu was a martial artist, he was not a reckless man who didn't understand anything. His eyes immediately turned red and his fists were clenched as green as ashes. He said, "I'm just discussing the matter. Master Zhan is so angry and frustrated. I'm afraid there's a reason for it. Besides, my adopted sons all came in voluntarily, what’s wrong with that?”
Zhan Hui teased: "Haha, come in voluntarily? Now the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the rivers are clear and the sea is prosperous. But at this time, Duke Liang is frantically recruiting so many adopted sons. What is his intention? ?”
Accepting adopted sons is not an important matter, but Zhan Hui knew that in order to fight against Bei Yuan, His Majesty had accepted many adopted sons to win people's hearts.
Therefore, ordinary people may not think much about Lan Yu's behavior, but His Majesty will never let down his guard. As long as His Majesty has a grudge in his heart, even if Lan Yu has no intention, he will not be able to explain clearly.
Lan Yu's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a cold voice: "Humph! Mr. Zhan is talking nonsense, I'm afraid he has other plans. Just when I was investigating Zhao Mian's case, I accidentally learned that Zhao Mian was raised outside. A concubine with four bedrooms, since Zhao Mian is able to hide it from the public and keep a concubine privately, then Master Zhan, I’m afraid you are not clean either.”
Lan Yu revealed some details of the case, which surprised everyone. Zhao Mian's raising of his concubine was so secretive that no one present knew about it.
In fact, Lan Yu was able to follow the clues and solve Zhao Mian's case so quickly, thanks to these four concubines.
Zhao Mian was in Yingtian and was Liu Sanwu's son-in-law. Naturally, he had no reason to marry a concubine, but he couldn't resist the bribery people who tried their best to please her.
These four concubines came from different states and counties, and were given to them by bribes. Each one of them was as beautiful as a flower, and I felt pity for them when I saw them.
It was precisely because of this that Lan Yu followed the clues to various states and counties before thoroughly investigating the case.
Now that he brought this matter up, he naturally wanted to risk Zhan Hui's mouth so that he would have nothing to say.
But obviously, Lan Yu underestimated Zhan Hui's wisdom and the ability of civil servants to confuse right and wrong.
Seeing that Zhan Hui was not in a hurry, he raised his hands and said: "Relying on the emperor's majesty and knowing everything, since I became an official, I dare not slack off at all, for fear of betraying the emperor's favor. Zhao Mian is an important minister of the imperial court, and your majesty is worried that he will be harmed." It is dangerous, so Jin Yiwei is specially assigned to protect it day and night to prevent unexpected events.
For several years, not even the Jin Yiwei discovered that Zhao Mian had kept a concubine secretly. Duke Liang was able to find out in just two days. This shows that Duke Liang is a man of extraordinary skill. He is afraid that every move of the civil and military officials in the sky will be followed. , all under the nose of Liang Guogong.
In this case, why should Duke Liang question me? Although Hui was not talented, he was brave and loyal. Although Liang Guogong went to investigate, if Hui could be found to be guilty of illegal activities, Hui would be dismissed from office and killed. "
Zhu Di thought that Zhan Hui had a sharp tongue. In just a few words, he threw back all the dirty water that Lan Yu had thrown at him, and his words were even more violent, like a burning fire cooking oil. These words were the real deal. Put Lan Yu completely into a passive situation.
No matter how you explain it, Lan Yu can't escape the words "hands and eyes can reach the sky. Otherwise, how to explain that Jin Yiwei has made no achievements in several years, but Lan Yu can find out the true love in just a few days?"
After saying this, Lan Yu didn't know how to refute for a moment, her face turned red, and she cursed angrily: "You old man, you are such a mouthful!"
"Ha! Duke Liang, please explain why you were able to find out in just a few days what Jin Yiwei has not discovered."
Zhan Hui snorted coldly, not caring about Lan Yu's murderous eyes, and continued to add fuel to the fire.
Zhan Hui doesn't care too much whether the fire can burn Lan Yu to death. It would be better if it can burn him to death. If it can't burn him to death, he can just add more firewood later.
Zhu Di took a sneak peek at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was there, and saw that his father's face remained as usual without any expression. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to suppress Zhan Hui and Lan Yu's mutual criticism first, otherwise if things went too far, I'm afraid today is not the Zhao Mian case.
To put it at the lowest level, Zhan Hui's words are definitely meant to kill people, and he is still going to kill the nine tribes and the three Yi tribes. If his father is really interested, Lan Yu may not be able to escape this time. Even the nobles of Huaixi will suffer unreasonable disasters.
During Lan Yu's investigation, if he said that the energy of Huaixi nobles was not used, Zhu Di would not believe it even if he killed him. There is no doubt that this is a disguised form of clique for personal gain. As long as this crime is followed, I don't know how many people will be implicated. .
Although Zhu Di didn't get along well with Lan Yu, his relationship with other Huaixi nobles was not that bad.
Dad also likes to get involved in things. If there is a big disturbance, Zhu Di doesn't want to see it.
Therefore, he spoke directly and said: "Dong Liang and Lord Zhan are both ministers of the imperial court, and everything they do is for the sake of the imperial court. I believe that these two adults have absolutely no selfish motives. As for investigating the case, As we all know, it is necessary to peel away the fog on the surface of a case layer by layer before we can get to the core. In this process, it is okay to adopt some methods.
I have heard that Mr. Zhan used the Hongwu algorithm given by his father to be able to find out the truth and falsehoods in the account books of the household department so quickly. The memorial submitted by Liang Guogong described in detail the entire process of the investigation, without any hidden secrets, which fully shows Liang Guogong's loyalty. As for the means of handling cases, each has its own merits and differences. There were Di Renjie in the Tang Dynasty and Bao Zheng and Song Ci in the Song Dynasty. They were all great investigators. Duke Liang was able to quickly investigate the case. In my opinion, he was no less generous. "
Zhan Hui was able to understand the deep meaning of Zhu Di's words and immediately expressed his position: "Your Highness is wise, I appreciate it and admire it."
Lan Yu only knew that Zhu Di was praising him just now, and she couldn't help feeling proud. Seeing that Zhan Hui was the first to speak, she thought that Zhan Hui had given in. Her face brightened a little, but soon she looked a little proud again.
Zhu Di took a look and was still thinking about how to beat the blue jade, but unexpectedly his father spoke at this time.
"Lanyu, we just heard from Zhan Hui that you have adopted your thirty-fifth adopted son?"
When the words fell to the ground, Lan Yu was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, sweating like raindrops, stammering, and didn't know what to say for a while. It took a while to hold back the words: "I... I know the crime, and I will do it when I get back." Send them all back."
Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't care very much. He was not worried about what kind of waves Lan Yu would cause, so he only said: "We have adopted many adopted sons in the past, and they have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Now you are the Duke of Liang Kingdom." , I don’t blame you for accepting a few adopted sons, but you should focus more on political affairs."
"I understand."
"Get up. You did a good job on this matter. We are very satisfied. In the future, you should work more carefully and learn more from Di Renjie and Bao Zheng."
After all, Lan Yu was not a scheming person. Zhu Yuanzhang's words were very clear, and with a few blows, the complacency in his heart was wiped out.
The father and son exhorted each other and suppressed the criticisms of Zhan Hui and Lan Yu. The storm disappeared without a trace, and soon the discussion was back to normal again.
