Chapter 365 Self-assessment
Hearing these words, two elderly members of the Liu family passed out. Although the Liu family had never been too rich, they had never had such a situation of brotherhood. Although Liu Ying had been apologizing for Liu Chun, But they still think that retreat is the way to advance.
Didn't expect that he really wanted to send his own brother to death. The Liu family is unfortunate. If this is the beginning, the family will definitely suffer from disasters in the future. Is it worth it to be so rich?
Zhu Yuanzhang got up abruptly and swayed a few times. Zhu Biao hastily persuaded him a few words, but Liu Ying really didn't care at this time, and was about to kill Liu Chun with red eyes.
Liu Ying is very sober in her heart, since she has made a decision, she must be ruthless. He is already the Marquis of Yihui, and also the patriarch of the Liu family, so what if the people are not ashamed of him?
Although Liu Chun is his own brother, the two separated when they fled and reunited after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, Liu Ying also wanted to share wealth with him. After all, you need a brother to fight a tiger.
It's just that after Liu Chun escaped from Fengyang, he was seeking a living and suffering. He suddenly learned that his brother was with the emperor all the way, but he never thought about finding himself. When it happened to my brother, I felt that it was too unfair to be the son of my own father, and the two brothers had conflicts.
Liu Ying couldn't understand her younger brother who was full of resentment, and Liu Chun couldn't like her brother who was arrogant and arrogant, so she angrily found Hu Weiyong's network, thinking of finding an official position, so as not to have to look at her brother's face every day for dinner, but in the end...
Several elders of the Liu family wept silently. Although they were seniors, they had to call a government official servant, let alone restrain Liu Ying, who was noble as the Marquis of Yihui.
After Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him for a few words, he passed out again. Zhu Biao, who was at the side, had been prepared and hugged Lao Zhu. The guards standing beside him rushed forward to protect him, scaring the old gentry from the surrounding clans to also faint. several.
In the next few days, Zhu Yuanzhang claimed that he would not be sick, and this incident also aroused heated discussions in Fengyang Mansion. Under the shade of the trees at the head of the village, people of all ages were discussing, saying that the Liu family was dog meat and could not sit at the banquet, and the emperor Lao Tzu also helped him. The two brothers Liu Ying and Liu Chun were reviled by others.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao put on the clothes of low-ranking officials and wandered among the farmhouses of those immigrants from Shanxi. No one will recognize it.
In particular, Lao Zhu was originally from the lower class. It was natural to talk with the migrants who were farming about the income of the fields and the amount of taxes collected by the court. Come down and ask about these things.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the ridge of the field with a straw hat on his head, took a sip from the water bag handed over by his son and said, "It's all good. The imperial court's policies have been implemented in place, and there are no messy excessive taxes."
Zhu Biao shook his cattail fan and said: "Fengyang's emigration was originally used as a benchmark for the imperial court's emigration. Officials who have been in charge of emigration have always come to study and investigate. Naturally, no one dares to do anything."
Han Zheng, the Marquis of Dongping on the side, was also dressed as a servant, the difference was that he had a broken waist knife and said with a bitter face: "We've seen enough, let's go back."
Although he had made a lot of preparations, he was still uneasy and worried all the time. If something happened, his family's life would not be enough to pay for it.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him. It was hard for him to go down to see for himself, but this guy has been nagging all the time.
After returning to the camp, Zhu Biao went to take a bath first. There were many insects and ants in the field, and he always felt itchy on his body.
After a while Liu Ying entered the room and knelt down to carry his luggage. Zhu Biao got up and helped him up personally and said, "The relationship between our two families is very special, brother is too kind."
Liu Ying was taken aback. His Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly so polite, it was a little scary. Could it be that he has not done well these days?
"Dare not dare, Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the country, and a minister is a minister, how can he bear the honorable title of Your Highness."
Zhu Biao asked him to sit down, asked Zhao Huaian to bring over a plate of fruit, and then listened to Liu Ying's thanks before saying: "Now that the matter has come to an end, let's explain it clearly, and I will stop playing around with my brother."
Liu Ying must have said in her heart: "Please give orders, Your Highness, I will promise you nothing."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's still Liu Chun's matter. It is said that this matter can be solved at another time, but now the father has just ordered the elimination of officials..."
Liu Ying hurriedly said: "I have already thought it over clearly, what I said a few days ago was true and sincere, and I will never protect Liu Chun!"
Zhu Biao praised: "Brother understands the righteousness deeply, the Marquis of Yihui did not give to the wrong person, and the court purged the officials for the sake of the long life of the country. Only the Ming Guozuo Yongchang, the Marquis of Yihui can be rich from generation to generation and rest with the country. "
Liu Ying naturally responded: "Although I can't be good at writing, I still understand the truth."
Zhu Biao sighed: "Father really appreciates the kindness of Huihou Xianyi, and really wants to save Liu Chun's life, but this palace thinks that it is right to give up the little one to protect the big one, and Mao Xiang is also my palace school. Come to advise Yi Huihou, I hope brother will not mind."
Liu Ying swallowed her saliva, he was still thinking about why the Holy Majesty sent Mao Xiang to beat him, and he still held on to it. It turned out that the Holy Majesty really planned to protect the Liu family, and the one who really wanted to kill was His Highness the Crown Prince. Well, the prince was born in a noble family, and had never experienced the hardships of the people, so he naturally didn't have much gratitude for the Liu family.
Zhu Biao picked up a large pink peach and took a bite, the sweet juice flowed across the face. He didn't care much about his posthumous name, but he didn't want his father's posthumous name to be stained. But if you have a heart, if this is the case, then let him be the villain, not to mention that he would definitely insist on killing Liu Chun in the first place.
Don’t look at Liu Ying being frightened now, but when he is stabbed in the back afterwards, he will definitely defend himself secretly. After all, it is a fact that Mao Xiang came earlier, and it is also a fact that Liu Chun died in the end.
At that time, who could do anything to Liu Ying? He was the last son of Xianyi Huihou. No one would dare to kill Liu Chun unless he committed a serious crime of rebellion, and he had to protect him from dying early, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation for ungratefulness would not be washed away. Lost.
After all, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who received the great kindness, and when Zhu Biao was born, let alone his grandparents, Liu Jizu didn't know how long he had been dead. It is reasonable to kill Liu Chun for the sake of the court law. After all, Liu Chun broke the law.
