Fei Ju was so frightened that big beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead and rolled down his cheeks.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the good brother he was familiar with in daily life, but has become a cold emperor.
This was not the first time Fei Ju had seen Zhu Yuanzhang like this. He had also been so cold-hearted before when he was betrayed. It's just that in the past few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fei Ju only remembered that "rich people never forget each other", but he ignored "the emperor is ruthless" due to the luxurious life and overwhelming power!
Zhu Yuanzhang put the long bow on the table and sat down: "As the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't you help me protect the common people and the country? If someone is a moth, he must bite the pillars of the dynasty. , but we don’t agree! Brother Fei, what do you think?”
Fei Ju kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty, I, I was wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands: "If you know your mistakes, you must correct them. Don't ask us to say them again and again."
Fei Ju agreed repeatedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Fei Qiang and said lightly: "As for Fei Qiang, haha, it's up to you to deal with it. Just step back."
Fei Ju felt cold all over. After thanking him, he took Fei Qiang and left the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mu Ying who was still kneeling: "Get up, what do you think about the affairs in the government office today?"
Mu Ying stood up and stopped when her words came to her lips.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mu Ying's hesitation and waved away: "There are only two of us, father and son, here. Let's talk."
Mu Ying approached Zhu Yuanzhang and whispered: "Your Majesty, Uncle Fei acts domineeringly, does things according to his heart, regardless of the consequences, and does not look down on the government and officials at all. In the court, he not only interferes in the trial at will, but also uses the threat of the prince's government to coerce witnesses , and even dared to draw the sword openly..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Tell me the important point."
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient, Mu Ying said bluntly: "Among the founding nobles, there are many who are more polite and indulgent, and the incident at Pingliang Marquis Mansion is not an isolated case. In the long run, I may hurt people's hearts and the peace of heaven. Please consider how to deal with it in order to benefit The foundation of all things.”
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Mu Ying, quite dissatisfied: "Why don't you talk about this kind of thing on weekdays?"
Mu Ying felt bitter.
Faced with this group of elders and uncles, the founders of the country, and the princes and nobles, who do you think you are? If you say something directly without evidence, not to mention whether you believe it or not, but if you believe it, then who do you become?
"I only heard about it, and I never dared to believe it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today..."
Mu Ying was careless.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not pursue the matter and sighed: "Don't forget each other whether we are rich or noble. When we raised armies to conquer the world, so many brothers were looking forward to peaceful days and wealth. Now, although the Yuan Dynasty is not destroyed, it should be given to them Yes, we have given it all, but people are not enough and want more. Given time, do you think they will..."
Mu Ying's face changed slightly, and she quickly said: "His Majesty is so powerful that everyone dares to disobey!"
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and shook his head: "That's all. Although I didn't directly warn Marquis Pingliang, I guess he won't cause trouble to Gu Zhengchen. Just in case, you can secretly arrange a few guards."
Mu Ying agreed, and seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to talk, she bowed and left the hall.
Mu Mansion Villa.
Mu Ying brought Mu Chun and Mu Sheng to the Mu Mansion's annex. Gu Zhengchen was very happy to see Mu Chun and Mu Sheng again. While they were making a fuss, Mu Ying pulled Gu Zhengchen away and said, "I'll find someone to pick a fight with. The twenty-sixth of this month is a good day. It is a good time to learn from a teacher, so I will leave the two children, Mu Chun and Mu Sheng, to you."
Gu Zhengchen was a little surprised: "They are still young and shouldn't be here for a few more years. Besides, I am an official in Jurong and cannot stay in Jinling for a long time and teach them all the time."
Mu Ying waved her hand and said seriously: "With your talent, I will be even busier in the future. As the saying goes, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Although these two children are young, they are in need of guidance. . Although the time is short, it is very precious to them. It’s not that I dislike it, I even fell asleep listening to the rotten gentlemen invited by the government. "
"Mu Chun has complained many times, but after a while, every gentleman is always the same. I hope that Mu Chun and Mu Sheng can be both civil and military in the future, but I don't want them to talk about benevolence, justice, morality, food, grass, and military skills, but they have no way to calm the people. Soldiers."
Gu Zhengchen understood, thought for a moment, and nodded: "I have taught these two children, but I have one condition."
Mu Ying immediately agreed: "Sure, you can mention it."
Gu Zhengchen became serious, looked at Mu Chun and Mu Sheng who were talking to Wu Rong not far away, and said in a deep voice: "They live and eat in the Mu Mansion. They don't need maids to take care of them. They do everything by themselves."
"no problem."
Muying agreed immediately.
Although Mu Sheng is a bit young, with his brother Mu Chun helping him, there won't be much of a problem.
Just as Mu Chun and Mu Sheng were cleaning up their huts, Wu Rong approached Mu Ying and Gu Zhengchen and reported in a low voice: "I just received news that the Marquis of Pingliang broke both Fei Qiang's legs and drafted a memorial. Please forgive me."
Mu Ying frowned and sighed: "That's true."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said, "As for the child Fei Qiang, it is up to you to deal with it." It was destined that Fei Qiang was completely ruined. Because the Yingtian Mansion Office has already dealt with it, it is reasonable to say that the matter is settled, but Zhu Yuanzhang said these meaningful words. He was obviously dissatisfied with the government office's judgment. This was forcing Fei Ju to express his stance and give an explanation!
Although Fei Ju was a rough man, he had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years and knew the emperor's hidden meaning.
"Uncle Fei is a bit stingy. You should be careful in your actions in the future, so as not to get caught by him."
Mu Ying reminded Gu Zhengchen.
Gu Zhengchen nodded slightly. Judging from Mu Ying's attitude and words, Fei Ju would probably not attack him directly, but once he made a mistake, he would probably be beaten to death.
"Is this the only news?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at Wu Rong with some doubts.
Wu Rong frowned: "What else does Mr. Gu want to know? I'll send someone to find out."
Gu Zhengchen shook his head.
According to Lao Zhu's temperament and temper, since he appeared outside the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, he was naturally aware of the behavior of Fu Yin Zhang Yulin. This kind of Fu Yin, who lacks the ability to do things, cares too much about the interests of the powerful, and uses punishment improperly, can still continue to stay. In this position?
In addition, there is Tongju Zhao Hai. He has no grievances against this person, but he has done evil things several times, which directly means that he wants his life. It stands to reason that the original plan of the Pingliang Houfu is to beat him at most. After a meal, he was taught a lesson, but who would have imagined that these people actually used the Jurong incident to attack themselves.
There is a problem behind this, and it doesn't seem like something Fei Ju can do.
Gu Zhengchen did not wait for the news that Zhang Yulin and Zhao Hai were dismissed, but he waited for the invitation from Prince Zhu Biao who had just returned to Jinling.
