There are many clans living within the high wall, and many of them have indeed committed serious crimes or been implicated. The Fengyang high wall has restricted their freedom, but in a certain way, it has also saved their lives for so many years. , only a few members of the clan were actually killed.
Zhu Wengui was brought to live within the high wall without knowing anything about his age.
He is Zhu Biao's grandson and Zhu Yunwen's son. He is of the same generation as Zhu Zhanji, and is Zhu Jianshen's grandfather.
After living within the high wall for these years, I had no worries about food and drink. Within the high wall, I had children and grandchildren, but I was still like a child, unaware of everything.
After Zhu Jianshen saw him, he was a little surprised. He was still a little surprised by his old grandfather. His face was fair and without any wrinkles, and he was in good spirits. He didn't even have a gray hair. His eyes were full of confusion and confusion. Even somewhat clean.
He is tall and has a majestic appearance, somewhat similar to Emperor Taizu Gao in the painting. Although the clothes he wears are not silk and satin, they are very clean. The people who want to take care of him are pretty good to him.
The old eunuch who had been taking care of his old palace maid was also brought here, but he was waiting outside the side hall.
After Zhu Jianshen saw Zhu Wengui, he asked him if he was used to living here. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhu Jianshen felt that what he said was wrong. He had lived here for sixty years, how could he not be used to it.
When Zhu Wengui heard Zhu Jianshen's words, he looked at Zhu Jianshen, and after a while, he didn't say a word.
Zhao Huanong, who was standing next to Zhu Jianshen, said quickly: "Jian Shuren, Your Majesty is asking you something, why don't you answer it."
Zhu Wengui ignored Zhu Jianshen, and certainly ignored Zhao Huanong.
The situation became awkward.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Wengui with a normal expression, and Zhu Wengui also looked directly at Zhu Jianshen. biquge.biz
This was the first person since Zhu Jianshen grew up who dared to look at him like this.
After a moment, Zhu Wengui asked: "Is it you who stole my father's throne and kept me locked up here for so many years?"
After listening to Zhu Wengui's words, Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Although he didn't win it himself, he, as a descendant, could only recognize the things his ancestors did.
Zhao Huanong hurriedly shouted loudly: "You are so presumptuous that you, a common man, should not talk nonsense."
Zhu Wengui glanced at Zhao Huanong, and then turned his attention to Zhu Jianshen, as if he wanted to get an answer.
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand to Zhao Huanong, signaling him not to interrupt, and then said, "Yes, and no."
After Zhu Wengui heard what Zhu Jianshen said, he thought for a long time, then pointed at Zhu Jianshen, then pointed at himself and said: "Your clothes are not as good-looking as mine, hahahaha..."
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhu Wengui's words. The topic was so serious just now, but it immediately turned 360 degrees.
Zhu Wengui was brought up like this. To put it bluntly, it was in Zhu Di's interests. Zhu Wengui could not speak a complete sentence until he was ten years old. He had never been enlightened or read a book. His world was on top of a high wall. That little patch of sky.
Zhu Jianshen listened to Zhu Wengui's laughter without any anger in his heart: "Then I will send someone to make you some more clothes. They will be exactly the same as the ones you wear."
Zhu Wengui immediately became excited when he heard about making clothes: "What you said is true."
Zhu Jianshen nodded, and then sighed: "Take it down."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Huanong said quickly, and then led two eunuchs to hold Zhu Wengui on his left and right, trying to take him out of the side hall.
But it is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. Zhu Wengui made a lot of noise and wanted to get new clothes now. In front of His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Huanong did not dare to force himself on this special person, so he could only persuade him kindly. In the end, it was a mess. , Zhao Huanong took Zhu Wengui down with the help of the old palace maid and old eunuch who had been taking care of him.
After meeting Zhu Wengui, Zhu Jianshen issued a decree to lift Zhu Wengui's confinement, allow him to move to Fengyang City, and provide him with annual silver at the level of a county king every year.
Apart from Zhu Wengui, Zhu Jianshen had no plans to meet anyone.
Within the high wall, there were more than a thousand people, all of whom were clans of the Ming Dynasty. Only the Jianwen clan was relatively special to Zhu Jianshen.
The high wall of the imperial mausoleum has become the royal prison of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most special prison of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was ridiculously kind to his descendants. He once clearly demonstrated the law. If a clan member commits a crime, "the crime will be downgraded in minor cases, and dismissed as common people in serious cases. However, rewards and punishments will be clearly stated, and punishments will not be added."
If the clan commits a small crime, the title will be demoted. If the clan commits a major crime, such as murder or rebellion, the title will be deprived and the title will be demoted to the common people. Regardless of whether it is a misdemeanor or a serious crime, the clan members do not need to be punished. Instead, they build high walls and guard the mausoleum.
Therefore, in the imperial mausoleum at this time, except for King Ning who was deposed and expelled from the country due to witchcraft, most of the others were murderers with a lot of crimes.
Although these people have become common people, their life within the high wall is not that difficult. Although they have lost their freedom, they are not in danger of life, nor are they hungry or cold.
Zhu Jianshen did not want to summon other common people anymore. Instead, he went directly to the side hall and began to check the list of clan members one by one, ticking off the names and entering them into the big list of pardons. Among them were members of Prince Ning's lineage. For several old county princes, even if they were pardoned, their titles would not be restored, but they would be allowed to go out of the high wall and live in Fengyang City, gaining some freedom.
Half an hour later, Zhu Jianshen's list was also listed, and a total of 136 people in the clan were pardoned. Most of these people were from Fengyang who had been convicted of consecutive crimes.
When he left the imperial mausoleum and returned to Fengyang City, it was already dark. In the Jinshen Palace, Zhu Jianshen took off his leather bean clothes and Tongtian crown, and replaced them with more convenient regular clothes.
After eating some simple vegetarian food, Zhu Jianshen sat in front of the imperial court and watched today's memorial.
Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi stayed by the side.
After a while, a young eunuch walked into Jinshen Hall with his head lowered.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Yi, Admiral of the Maritime Affairs Department, would like to see your Majesty."
After Zhu Jianshen heard what the young eunuch said, he put down the memorial in his hand: "It's so quick. Let's call him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With that said, the little eunuch retreated.
After Zhu Jianshen moved into Fengyang Imperial City, the Imperial Guards and His Majesty's personal troops took over the guarding of the Imperial City. The defense was tight. There were hundreds of guards on duty at the main palace gate, while Zhu Yi stood alone outside the palace gate. , many guards were staring at Zhu Yi.
At this time, Zhu Yi had already imitated his old father's appearance, growing a beard, and there was a little more vicissitude between his eyebrows, but he was much older than in previous years.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Qiu aged so quickly was due to Zhu Qiu's mother Charlotte. Originally, Zhu Yi was staying in Nanjing to wait for his imperial conquest, but suddenly got the order. At the moment, he didn't care about entangled with Charlotte, and immediately brought several people with him. The soldiers rushed all the way to Fengyang. Fengyang was not far from Nanjing, only two hundred miles away. Zhu Yi changed three horses and finally arrived at Fengyang City that day, and then took off his riding clothes at the corner. , put on the gift clothes, and went directly outside the palace gate to ask for a meeting...
