Fei Ju took a deep breath and asked: "Where are the transported materials? Can they be recovered? If they can be returned to Zhao intact, thanks to your and my merits, the blame will be just a slap in the face."
Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said, "It's too late. It's a cool time. Cotton clothes, quilts, and charcoal are hot commodities in the north. They've all been sold out now."
Seeing what Fei Ju was going to say, Zhu Liangzu interrupted him angrily and said, "I just got some gadgets. The salary from the court is only so little. If we don't let us figure out our own solution, we will starve to death long ago. "
Fei Ju closed his eyes and said, "Do you think His Highness will not punish you and me severely?"
Zhu Liangzu frowned. Although Fei Ju was a little indecisive, he was not afraid of trouble. Why was he so worried now? Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince show no mercy at all?
It shouldn’t be, and no one will freeze to death and starve to death because of this. Just turn the big thing into a trivial matter and turn it into nothing. The worst is a scolding and a few slaps. Why are you kneeling in the snow now without even seeing each other? .
The more Zhu Liangzu thought about it, the angrier he became. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and fought bloody battles. He first conquered Chen Youliang, then conquered Nanchang and Jiujiang, and participated in the Battle of Poyang Lake. In the 27th year of Zhengzheng, he led tens of thousands of troops to attack Fang Guozhen and conquered Tiantai and Taizhou. Fang Guoying, Fang Guozhen's younger brother, was defeated and fled. He pursued to Huangyan, surrendered the guard general Harlu, and captured Xianju and other counties.
In the first year of Hongwu, he followed Liao Yongzhong to attack Guangdong by sea and recruited the Guangdong warlord He Zhen to surrender. He then marched into Guangxi, conquered Wuzhou, killed Puxian Timur, the Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and pacified Yulin, Xunxian, Guixian and other places. Soon, Zhu Liangzu joined forces with Pingzhang Yang Jing to conquer Jingjiang, and together with Liao Yongzhong, captured Nanning and Xiangzhou, and finally pacified the entire Guangxi area.
This endless bloody battle has made great contributions to the Zhu family's founding of the country and the title of emperor, and now they have to humiliate him because of this trivial matter? Emperor Zhu has ruled the world, can't these old brothers enjoy the glory and wealth?
Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, didn't say anything more. He had already sensed the emotions of Marquis Yongjia. This fool had been away from the capital for too long. He didn't know that the righteous and handsome commander had become the real emperor. These arrogant soldiers were fierce. The quilt is a thorn in the flesh, and I am worried that I have no chance to clean it up.
After Quan Xu returned to the house, he walked up to Zhu Biao to report. Zhu Biao frowned in disgust when he heard that Zhu Liangzu dared to be dissatisfied. This bitch did something wrong and still didn't want to bow his head. He really had no brains.
However, this is also the norm among nobles. Most of them only remember their hard work and achievements. They feel that Emperor Zhu is sitting all over the world, and it is nothing for them to get some help.
But the emperor has long given out titles and official positions according to their merits, which means that you have been rewarded for your achievements, but you are still insatiable in corruption. In the end, it is just greed that is the cause of the problem and a lack of people's hearts.
Just like Zhu Liangzu was awarded the title of Founding Assistant to promote the sincerity of Xuanli, a military minister of honor and wealth, and the title of Zhuguo, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yongjia, with a salary of 1,500 dan, and was hereditary for his descendants. These were completely enough for his family, but Nowadays, they are still stealing food from the people.
However, how to deal with the two princes now depends on the documents sent by the court. Pingliang Hou Fei Ju can still say, after all, he is now under Zhu Biao's command, and no one will gossip if the treatment is more serious.
However, Yongjiahou's crime has not yet been confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, and he himself is the Xuzhou garrison general directly subordinate to the emperor. Zhu Biao can reprimand and beat him, but if he wants to be convicted and severely punished, he has to go through the court.
Zhu Biao will not easily break the rules because of his own emotions. Every move he makes will affect many people and things. If he takes the lead in ignoring the law, then other princes will follow suit, and even his prince will not be able to do so in the future. Do you want to punish Xungui arbitrarily with his consent?
So Zhu Biao is now letting them suffer. How to deal with it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. He is just worried about whether his father will be given a lighter sentence. Lao Zhu is still at a relatively tolerant stage towards the nobles. .
On the one hand, it is because the world is not yet completely at peace, and there will be wars to be fought sooner or later in the western regions of Bashu, Yunnan and the northern grasslands. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to scare the snake. His plan is to have the nobles gather with Hu Weiyong and then catch them all.
The other is Zhu Liangzu, who has always been deeply appreciated and valued by Zhu Yuanzhang because of his bravery, prowess in battle, and outstanding achievements. He even regarded him as Yuchi Gong of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Liangzu was originally a marshal of the Yuan Dynasty rebels, but was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1356. Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of seeing Zhu Liangzu's bravery and prowess in fighting. After a scene of loosening his bonds with his own hands, he ordered Zhu Liangzu to continue to serve in his original position.
However, Zhu Liangzu was a half-hearted person. He worked under Zhu Yuanzhang for only a few months before returning to the embrace of the Yuan Dynasty and defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's army several times.
In 1357, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to lead an army to besiege the Ning State occupied by Zhu Liangzu. Zhu Liangzu fought desperately to break out of the siege. He was extremely brave and even wounded Chang Yuchun.
Kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang for the second time, Zhu Liangzu said solemnly: "When you are alive, you will do your best, and when you die, you will die!" Zhu Yuanzhang released him again and reused him regardless of the past suspicions.
In the future, Zhu Liangzu did live up to this kindness and made outstanding achievements in bloody battles. It was a pity that this eldest brother did not end well in the end. Zhu Biao can remember him because he was a very distinctive hero even in the Hongwu Dynasty. Expensive.
While he was guarding Guangdong, he colluded with the local powerful, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to unjustly kill Panyu County Magistrate Daotong. He was eventually recalled to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk nonsense to him, gave full play to his own spirit, and whipped Zhu Liangzu.
When the guards saw the emperor personally going into battle, their morale was greatly boosted. After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence, they all started to take action. Zhu Liangzu and his son Zhu Xian were whipped to death.
But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still believed that he had meritorious service in the end, still ordered him to be buried with marquis rites, and personally wrote a memorial for him, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang really liked this general who surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Biao sighed and sent another report to the court. After an hour, Quan Xu asked Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, to come in. As for the Marquis of Yongjia, he continued to kneel outside.
The nobles are different from those minor civil servants. Even Zhu Biao cannot let them freeze to death outside. This will easily arouse the grief of other nobles, and based on their achievements, they must have dignity no matter what.
After a while, Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, walked into the house and knelt down towards Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao glanced at him and said nothing. Fei Ju slowly raised his head and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I will finally be convicted."
Zhu Shou said calmly: "I am not the one who was robbed of cotton clothes and charcoal. Why should I be so angry? I am curious. The Marquis of Pingliang has a salary of 1,500 shi. Is it possible that the family can't stir up trouble?"
Fei Julian shuddered several times and said: "The general is greedy and has been seduced by Marquis Yongjia into committing wrongdoings. Please punish him severely. The general will never complain."
