"Xiongying, what's going on? Why are so many people kneeling?" Before leaving, Lu looked at the maids and eunuchs and asked.
"Oh, I'm afraid the mother-in-law doesn't know, right?" Zhu Xiongying sneered and said,
"These dog slaves don't care about human affairs!"
"He actually encouraged Yunxi to do bad things, making Yunxi bully and afraid of the strong, and he was ignorant and incompetent."
"What's the use of keeping servants like this?"
"I'm just about to see how many of these people are harboring evil intentions, and how many are outright loyal!"
As he spoke, the murderous intent in Zhu Xiongying's eyes was so fierce that it almost overflowed.
"Great Sun, Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"Your Highness, please spare your life. I dare not disobey Your Highness's orders!"
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
"Empress, empress, please help us!"
"We didn't do it on purpose, we were all following orders!"
···
Listening to Zhu Xiongying's words, these people didn't know where they were, and they were going to be dealt with this time.
Moreover, I also understood before that the person in front of me is His Highness Taisun.
Although it was not very clear, Taisun was not the Zhu Yunwen they always thought he was, but instead became the person in front of them.
But they couldn't hold back their fear, so they kept begging for mercy.
"Xiongying!" At this time, Lu also spoke, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said directly.
"What? Does the mother-in-law have something to say?" Zhu Xiongying asked indifferently.
And Mrs. Lu seemed not to be aware of Zhu Xiongying's attitude at all, and continued,
"No matter what they say, they have been serving Yunxi for such a long time!"
"Isn't it a little bad to handle it like this?"
"Whatever my concubine said, I also said that we need to see which of these people are harboring evil intentions and which ones are outright loyal!"
"You won't be able to keep people who harbor evil intentions, right?"
"And those who are brave and loyal cannot but be rewarded!"
"That's not what the mother-in-law meant. What the mother-in-law meant was whether we should be open to them."
"After all, there are so many people, and they all deserve one life!"
"When your father was still alive, he was always kind to others. If you do this, even if your father is still alive, he probably wouldn't agree!"
"Just think of it as a way to accumulate virtue for your father. Don't let your father's spirit in heaven still think about us, okay?"
As he said this, Ms. Lu took a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.
Otherwise, this woman is made of water.
If you want to cry, tears will flow out anytime. Just like Zhu Xiongying, he was a cold-blooded person in his previous life and never shed tears.
In this life, I am a hard-hearted person. I am afraid that there are few things or people that can make me cry.
Another thing, Lu said that his father was kind?
Well, this Zhu Xiongying admitted, after all, he has such a reputation, and being kind is really kind.
But this kind of kindness is only for the people, those who can repent after making mistakes, and not others.
Not to mention these slaves who tried to cripple his children.
Zhu Biao started killing people, but he showed no mercy at all.
It is better for the officials to cry than for the common people to cry. Was this what his father said?
Moreover, the Four Major Hongwu Cases are so famous.
But damn, they say Zhu Yuanzhang handled it when he was in power.
But the real situation is that among the four major cases, three major cases were handled by Zhu Biao himself.
From the previous Hu Weiyong case in the 13th year of Hongwu, more than 30,000 people were executed in a row;
In the Kongyin case in the ninth year of Hongwu, more than 10,000 people were implicated;
The Guo Huan case in the 18th year of Hongwu involved a huge amount of money and had a profound impact on the economic field;
These killings were all ordered by Zhu Biao.
Moreover, even the last Lan Yu case in the 26th year of Hongwu involved more than 15,000 people dead.
That was also launched because of Zhu Biao.
And you say he's kind?
You ask the officials who were dealt with by Zhu Biao, whether Zhu Biao was kind to them?
Kindness also has to be divided into objects. Zhu Biao was truly kind to the people.
But for others, kindness has its own problems.
Zhu Biao has never been a purely kind person, he has his own tricks.
Moreover, even so, Zhu Biao was still able to satisfy and love the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, which shows Zhu Biao's own ability.
Lao Zhu's love for Zhu Biao was partly due to his identity. She was his favorite girl and gave him a great son, his eldest son.
Moreover, when Lao Zhu was twenty-four years old, the first son of such an older young man,
What's more, after hearing about his birth, they took over a city that was impossible to chew down, which is their current capital city.
On the other hand, it was also because of Zhu Biao's ability that he never let Lao Zhu down.
Moreover, he also suppressed a group of Huaixi nobles. Even if they were as arrogant as Lan Yu, they were still loyal to Zhu Biao, which could not be summarized by a simple kindness.
To simply say that such a person is kind and will let go of those who want to harm his children, it would be better to call him stupid.
So when Zhu Xiongying heard what Lu said, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Mother and concubine, we should do these things better to prevent our father from worrying about us in heaven!"
"Only by taking good care of my father's family can my father feel more at ease!"
"My father is truly kind, but he must be so kind to the people of Ming Dynasty!"
"But don't say that my father's kindness is the same for everyone!"
"Don't tell me, concubine, my father has never punished anyone or killed anyone, right?"
Lu was also disrupted by Zhu Xiongying's words.
"Also, this person!" As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying pointed at the little eunuch whom he ordered to arrest, and shouted,
"When I first came here, Yun He was encouraged to do bad things and sow discord. This was not a good thing!"
"I want to see how many of these people there are who have taught Yunxi to become like this!"
After hearing this, Ms. Lu looked at the person pointed at by Zhu Xiongying, making her body tremble slightly.
It's Xiao Fengzi. This person was really arranged by Lu.
She didn't expect that this person would be caught by Zhu Xiongying, and he would be caught red-handed.
This guy really took orders, but he took her orders, even though she didn't come forward personally or tell him directly.
But if they are involved, then...
"Xiongying, these are all the fault of the mother and concubine, and these people were arranged by the mother and concubine for Yunxi!"
"Furthermore, it is the mother's responsibility to teach Yunxi. It is the mother who failed to do her best!"
"If you want to blame the hero, let's blame the mother and concubine!"
"Let these people go!"
After saying that, Mrs. Lu also felt that Zhu Xiongying might not let go so easily, and continued,
"Let the mother-in-law punish them. This is also the mother-in-law's responsibility as the crown princess!"
"Just let the mother-in-law do such bad things!"
When Zhu Xiongying heard this, he sneered in his heart, "Repay your mother and concubine, your responsibilities, and let you come."
Hum hum, go ahead and dream.
You are only an elder in name, although in terms of status, you may be suppressed.
But want to do what you are told? That's dreaming.
Although in this era, filial piety is more important than heaven, but I am not such an easy person to compromise.
Sometimes, people disappear without realizing it...
"Haha, mother and concubine are joking. This is not a bad thing. How can it be a bad thing to punish bad people?"
"As for responsibilities, as a grandson, that's what I should do!" Zhu Xiongying said calmly,
"Isn't it?"
As he said that, a pair of eyes stared at Lu, making Lu subconsciously take a few steps back.
In Zhu Xiongying's eyes, he actually felt the scene when Zhu Biao was angry in the past.
This little beast, how could he...
