In front of the main hall.
Hundreds of officials witnessed His Highness the King of Qin coming to Beijing for an audience today and making a plea for punishment, and everyone had different ideas in their minds.
Zhu Xi ignored the gazes of everyone behind him and knelt down directly into the hall.
From standing with a bow, to prostrating himself on the ground, prostrate on the ground.
Except for the crown prince, the Qin King Zhu Ping, who was the eldest in the Ming Dynasty clan and also had the most glorious title in the vassal state, was already crying loudly.
"father!"
"Brother!"
"I'm back!"
"My son is guilty, my younger brother is guilty."
"My son ignored the emperor's orders and did not think about progress. He brought trouble to the vassal country and oppressed the people. As a result, my father was ill and my brother was seriously ill."
"Everything is caused by my sons and ministers."
"My son deserves to die for his crime, but death is not a pity. Death will not bring peace to the local people, nor will it restore the health of my father and brother."
"I only hope that my father's body will be healthy, but I don't want my father's brain. I brought thorns with me. I only hope that my father will recover. I will use these thorns to whip my father severely."
"My son is willing to die to see if my brother will be able to live in peace and control the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."
In front of all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ping couldn't help crying and calling in sorrow.
It was as if he really believed that the emperor and the prince's bodies were condemned by God because of their bad character in the local area.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Even better, he was really willing to die to apologize.
This time, the civil and military officials gave up on the conflicts and estrangements they had in the past because of their respective camps.
Many people began to make eye contact.
Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian, Ru Yu and other ministers looked at the founding Duke Chang Sheng who was approaching the military parade.
There was a trace of helplessness on several people's faces.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this behavior of King Qin has appeared for the second time in today's battle to govern the country.
Just now, just now.
Those meritorious generals also used the same method to plead guilty in front of the emperor's grandson.
His Highness the King of Qin wanted to be the first to confess and plead guilty, so that the old emperor could treat him lightly and be lenient.
Zhu Yunxi also stared at his good second uncle with a faint gaze, whose acting skills were at the level of a movie actor.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
None of the sons of Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was stupid.
Even this good second uncle did a lot of mischief when he was in the fiefdom, but now he still shows enough political wisdom.
The second uncle was sure that the old man would not really do anything to him, so he dared to do what he did today.
He thought for a while, and it seemed that in the twenty-four years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no clan king had done such a thing after doing something wrong.
It's hard to say that the old man would really show mercy to him and give him a lenient sentence.
Involuntarily, Zhu Yunxi shifted his gaze and looked into the main hall.
Presumably by this time, the old man and his father already knew that their son and brother had returned to Beijing, and had heard what he said now.
But gradually, in front of the main hall, except for the low voice of King Qin Zhu Ping, there was silence.
Everyone is waiting to see what kind of punishment the old emperor will punish King Qin.
However, time is passing by drop by drop, and the sun is gradually climbing over people's heads.
There was still deathly silence in the main hall.
King Qin Zhu Chen gradually stopped crying. He felt that his legs no longer belonged to him.
Zhu Fang quietly raised his head, his expression on his sweaty face was twisted together, and he looked at the silent hall door with some worry and fear.
Is the old man asleep?
Or is there something really wrong with your body?
Zhu Xi couldn't help but speculate.
He then looked sideways at his eldest nephew, Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This eldest nephew didn't know how to come over and help him up.
Zhu Yunxi had no intention of persuading his second uncle.
His eyes were already looking at the court train, and the officials at their feet were constantly hesitating whether to go out to report something.
They probably couldn't bear it any longer.
An understanding smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's lips.
After all, these people, as well as more than 300 colleagues, are now imprisoned in Jinyiweizhao Prison, and how to deal with them has yet to be decided.
The more than three hundred officials detained in Jinyiweizhao Prison are like a knife always hanging over these people's heads.
Zhu Yunxi speculated maliciously.
Perhaps these people wanted to rescue those three hundred people, but more probably they wanted the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, whether it was to kill or release, as long as the decision was made.
These people have nothing to do with what those more than 300 people committed.
After all, fellow Taoists are poor and not dead. In view of the conflicts in the Ming Dynasty over the years, they know very well that the most important thing they should do at this time is to protect themselves wisely.
Sure enough, it was just as Zhu Yunxi expected.
The officials he was staring at finally couldn't bear it any longer and left work to arrive at the venue.
But the seats in front of me have been occupied by Cao Zhen and others.
These people could only squeeze down Cao Zhen and others who had previously asked themselves to be punished, and knelt down.
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen curled his lips and looked dissatisfied at the censor beside him who was holding his robe down.
This guy is so shameless!
But these officials were already kneeling to the ground and saluting Zhu Yunxi.
"To the great grandson of the emperor, I have something to report."
Zhu Yunxi was now standing in front of the officials. He turned sideways and looked at these people blankly: "Yes, it's time to play."
One of the leading censors took a deep breath and immediately spoke: "To inform the emperor's grandson, there have been a large number of imperial guards arresting court officials in recent days. As of yesterday, more than 300 officials have been arrested and detained."
"People in the DPRK are in panic, and there are many delays in state affairs."
"I don't know what these more than three hundred court officials have committed."
"But I ask the emperor's grandson to put state affairs first and inform your majesty as soon as possible on how the court should deal with them."
really.
Everything went as Zhu Yunxi expected.
These people did not intercede for the more than 300 people, nor did they ask the emperor to punish these people severely, nor did they ask the emperor why he wanted to arrest these people.
They just hope this matter can end as soon as possible.
In order to prevent them from having to worry about whether they would suddenly be captured by the royal guards and cavalry who rushed into the house all day long, they would be taken into prison.
"I ask the great grandson of the emperor to take state affairs as the top priority and ask your majesty to deal with it as soon as possible!"
The officials who came out to report the incident all expressed their anger in unison, shouting that the matter should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Zhu Yunxi looked at these people blankly.
King Qin Zhu Xi couldn't help but turn his head curiously, looking at the officials kneeling down begging for music.
What a shameless bunch!
Zhu Xi looked at the officials buying the team and couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Creaking.
Suddenly, a discordant sound came from the hall.
I saw the Hongwu Emperor, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who announced today that the Holy Body was ill, walking out of the dark and deep space in the hall, wearing only coarse linen clothes.
Behind him were two young eunuchs carrying the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a blood-stained face as usual.
Just a glance.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at all the civil and military officials present, causing these Ming ministers to lower their usually arrogant heads.
Zhu Yunxi was also surprised when he saw the old man who finally showed up and his father who showed off his leg and foot problems.
I saw an unpredictable smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
He looked at Zhu Xi, who was kneeling on the ground with a thorn stick on his back.
"Why, aren't you asking for forgiveness? Now you are curious about government affairs again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing only his patchwork coarse linen clothes, walked up to the King of Qin, Zhu Ping.
Zhu Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head slightly to look at his father.
Just such a glance made him tremble all over and quickly lowered his head. I just felt that no matter what, I didn't dare to look at my father.
The father standing in front of him was like the eight-hundred-mile Qinling Mountains, like the Huashan Mountains towering like clouds, which no one dared to blaspheme.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the prince who was being carried out of the hall and pushed in a wheelchair on the ground. He was about to step forward to salute, but his father, who also had a smile on his face, quietly raised his hand to stop him.
All the officials were also shocked.
It’s not that the emperor is ill and the prince is unconscious.
Why, now, although the prince seems to have a condition in his legs and feet, he looks good.
The emperor's face was flushed and he was in high spirits.
Even Zhan Hui and others, who had been ordered to enter the palace after an incident occurred in the palace and met the emperor with their own eyes, were also confused.
Could it be that the emperor's body has always been fine?
Suddenly, all the officials present had suspicions flashing through their minds.
And under everyone's puzzled gaze.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already squatting down with his hands on his knees and arrived in front of Qin King Zhu Xi.
The emperor's father's behavior frightened Zhu Xiang and he trembled all over again. He quickly lay down on the ground and crawled even lower.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Since you are so curious, tell me how we are going to deal with these people."
At this time, Zhu Xi felt that he could no longer turn his head.
He is just an outside clan king. When did his father need to ask for his opinion when handling government affairs?
I returned to Beijing this time just to let the old man deal with me.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again and raised his voice: "Say!"
Zhu Xi only felt that the two thorns were fighting, and the thorns that he had obviously cut off their thorns suddenly became thorny.
He raised his head in fear, his lips trembling: "Dad...father...son, son, son..."
For a moment, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's eager eyes, Zhu Xi couldn't speak.
However, in his frightened eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said in a long voice: "Oh...that's it."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang straightened up and looked at the officials in front of him with his hands on his hips under Zhu Xi's anxious and puzzled gaze.
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Did you all hear it?"
What do you hear?
The civil and military personnel present were also confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed twice, and then explained: "You didn't hear it clearly? Then let's repeat the suggestion for King Qin."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the civil servants kneeling beside Cao Zhen and others.
"Listen carefully, our second son has said it."
"He said that all the people in Zhao Prison should be beheaded!"
All chopped down!
For a moment, all the officials were trembling with fear.
Those are more than 300 people who have studied hard for decades and been diligent in the affairs of the country and society for decades!
Although, they got the results they wanted.
But in vain, seeing such a massive killing taking place in the court hall again after so many years, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
Qin King Zhu Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, had a face full of shock. He lay on the ground, turned around with his hands and feet, and looked up at his old man.
Zhu Ping's eyes were full of doubts and he kept shaking his head.
Old man, this is not what we said!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not finish speaking.
He puffed up his chest and snorted coldly.
Under everyone's fear.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The second son of our family also said that these bastard things belong to the Yi tribe and the nine tribes!"
There was a clang.
King Qin Zhu Xi, who was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, rolled his eyes, his whole body went limp, and he fell heavily to the ground with his mouth open.
He actually fainted.
Zhu Yunxi, who was standing behind and looking at the old man's back, would have almost laughed out loud if it weren't for this occasion.
There is probably some enlightenment in my heart.
And he also lowered his head to look at Lao Ershu who had fainted on the ground, sighing in his heart.
It should not be said that the second uncle hid in Chuzhou and escaped the changes in the Yingtian court, but in the end he still did not escape the old man's hand, using his name to severely punish the more than 300 officials.
Looking at the old man, he was already waving his arms, rolled up his sleeves and put one hand behind his back.
On the thumb of the old man's right hand, there is a white jade thumb ring of the same style as the prince's. At this moment, the old man is slowly turning it.
Zhu Yunxi grumbled in his heart, and it was probably time for his father to appear next.
As he expected, it didn't take long.
Zhu Biao asked someone to push him to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
