But no matter what the situation is, his position does not allow him to make mistakes. If he loses the upper hand in the political situation, Zhu Biao will have to pay a lot more for it.
Otherwise, this matter can be easily resolved in private. No matter whether it is his people or the second and third children, they dare not directly disobey the will of the prince, but now they are framed and have to come to ask for help. His own father made a move.
Give him a happy feeling directly, because Zhu Biaonian did not pursue his family's minor crimes for the sake of Shang Honghai's hard work in the past, otherwise at least he would have to be exiled.
As for whether Shang Honghai's confidantes have betrayed, Zhu Biao doesn't need to worry about it. The new officers will deal with it on their own.
…
The next morning, the emperor summoned the kings of Jin and the kings of Chu in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, and ordered them to go to Fengyang imperial mausoleum on foot to plead guilty, and not return to Beijing without an edict.
King Jin's subordinate Yiwei Zheng Wanghe hoarded food and bought land at a low price and forced Liang to be a slave and sentenced his family to be executed. Chu Wangdian relied on Zhang Azhang to bully the people and sentenced his family to exile in Guizhou. .
The commander of the Beijing army and horses, Zhang Wei, used his power to seek personal gain and was lured by merchants. He was sentenced to confiscation of his family and jailed in Liaodong. Cao Wan, the deputy commander of the capital wing, colluded with merchants...
In the main hall, there was only the voice of the Minister of Criminal Justice continuously announcing his will. From time to time, civil servants and military officials were dragged out.
But unlike the pleadings made by the ministers one after another in the past few days, no one dared to stand up and plead for mercy this time. They just watched dumbly as the colleagues around them who had promised to help each other were dragged out.
The Holy Majesty's heart was so cruel that even the two sons, King Jin and King Chu, did not let go lightly, and did not save any face.
Among the silence and oppression, Hu Weiyong finally chose to stand up, still talking about what he said a few days ago, but it still gave everyone a little room to breathe.
Under the slight nod of the emperor, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had been reading in cold sweat for a long time, stopped, and closed the decree with slightly trembling hands. No one except him knew how many people were behind.
Heavy codes are used to govern troubled times, and the same is true for opening great dynasties.
If it is wrong at the beginning, it will always be crooked in the future. No matter how high the price is, the economy cannot be doomed to collapse from the very beginning.
Indulging civil servants and warriors to intervene may be good in the short term, and the economy will take off, but it is a false prosperity, wealth is gathered in the hands of officials and businessmen, and they are the class that least wants to think about how to develop. When they get rich, they will only single-mindedly annex the land and force them into slavery.
Zhu Biao personally promotes the prosperity of business, but he never wants businessmen to extend their hands to the political arena. Civil servants and military officials are used to looking down on businessmen, thinking they are just dispensable lackeys, but they don't know that businessmen are rich and powerful. It is very easy for the queen to turn against the customer.
Even if it is honorable, it is impossible to hold power from generation to generation. Without power, money has to rely on others. What will happen?
…
After Zhu Biao retired, he listened to Liu Jin's report, and then went to the palace gate. Zhang Shiyu'er, who was dressed in a Jingchai sarong, was kneeling in front of Zuoshun gate to greet him.
Zhu Biao stopped in his tracks, sighed and told Liu Jin to help her up, and then he heard Yu'er say, "The maidservant came to see His Highness not to plead for mercy, but just thinking that it will be difficult to meet in the future, so I came here to bid farewell."
"That unsatisfactory thing is greedy for even a little profit, and it will implicate his wife and children." Zhu Biao's face was very ugly: "You go first, and make up with him after a while, and I will find you a satisfactory one." Ruyi husband-in-law."
Yu'er solemnly kowtowed to him a few times: "Marry a chicken like a chicken and marry a dog like a dog. The servants are not afraid to go to Liaodong, but they are ashamed of the kindness to His Highness, and I only hope that you will not be sad and troubled by this."
Yu'er wiped away her tears and stood up, forcing out a smile: "The maidservant is leaving now, and I don't have the face to see the empress at this time. Please also forward a sentence, the maidservant will be fine, so the empress don't worry."
"En." Zhu Biao turned and walked towards Kunning Palace. Compared with here, the problem there is more difficult.
At this time, outside the Kunning Palace, Wu Wang Zhu Ju was still kneeling on the ground with a puzzled face, and there were also many concubines kneeling in the palace, but they didn't dare to make any noise and only sobbed softly from time to time.
Empress Ma also earnestly begged: "Let the second and the third rest for a few days before we talk about it. How about walking on the ground after the punishment, not to mention that it is so far away from Beijing to Fengyang. What if the root of the disease hurts the legs and feet?" .”
The leading concubine below also hurriedly interceded: "My lord, please be kind, that is your own flesh and blood."
The other one followed suit: King Jin and King Chu are so honorable, how can they have anything to do with merchants, the people below must be using the name of the prince to make a fuss, and ask the Holy One to see clearly. "
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "It's fine if the two of them don't know anything about it like the fifth child. They didn't accept tens of thousands of taels of filial piety from the following."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The Queen Mother and Concubine Wu hurriedly responded: "His Royal Highness Wu Wang has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he knows his son better than his father. You know that it is the slaves below who have two hearts and secretly monopolize medicinal materials with His Highness's reputation."
This remark naturally aroused the glaring looks of the other two, but at this time of the year, the family can protect their own cubs, and the others can't care about it.
"Sister is really good at avoiding the important and taking the light of the day. Isn't it your own younger brother, the uncle of His Highness Wu, who is making money in the name of His Highness King Wu? I don't know how to deal with it according to the law?"
"you…"
At this time, Zhu Biao arrived at a side hall next to Kunning Palace, and happened to bump into the imperial physician who came out, and after he saluted, he asked, "Is the injury serious? Can you walk?"
The imperial physician whispered: "It's not serious, it's just that the pain must be unbearable when walking."
Zhu Biao knew it well, and asked the imperial physician to go down to prepare the ointment, and then carried it inside. He only heard the deliberate cry of pain from his two younger brothers in the inner bedroom and the eager inquiry of the **** serving them.
Liu Jin stepped in first, and called out all the servants and maids who were serving inside. When Zhu Biao entered, the third child's screams were even more miserable, but the second child was silent.
"Brother, you are here. My younger brother is going to die unjustly. I am busy in the Ministry of Industry every day. The Zuixian Building has always been run by the people below. Who knows that he is so smart that he still doesn't let others sell alcohol. It's really not my permission."
Zuixianlou is one of the royal wineries ordered by the Ministry of Industry to build it a few years ago. Because of Zhu Bian's contribution to disaster relief last time, Lao Zhu specially rewarded it to his son.
Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to other things, because he knew that the third child was half-truthful, walked up to the second child's side, and slapped **** Zhu Xing's buttocks that had just been tortured with a cane. Crisp and sweet.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
Zhu Xi took a deep breath, quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and said no more wrongdoing. As for the king of Jin, Zhu Xi, his hands were tightly clutching the quilt, writhing like a fish out of water. The body relieved the pain, and the corners of the eyes almost burst open.
"The third child said he was wronged, how about you?"
Zhu Xi burst into tears in pain, this pain was more than ten times worse than the torture just now, the pain was piercing, and he even felt that his **** was so hot now.
Undoubtedly, if someone else is at this time, His Royal Highness Jin Wang will definitely scold his mother and draw a knife, but when facing his elder brother, don't look at how powerful he is when he doesn't see him on weekdays. far away.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Zhu Biao raised his hand high again with no expression on his face. Zhu Yi's Yan Yi heroic face twisted instantly, and hurriedly said: "I am the same, I was wronged."
But it was a pity that it was still useless, the slap still fell down firmly, Zhu Xi subconsciously turned around after screaming, but how could his buttocks that had just been rode touch the bed, and bounced back in an instant, screaming The sound became more and more shrill. "
