Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Tao sneered, and he asked directly.

"Brother Seventeen, you're so forgetful. Don't tell me you can't remember what happened to Heqiao Division's inspector tax officer and Zhou Bao in the tenth year of Hongwu?"

After hearing this, whether it was Zhu Quan or the son-in-law Captain Ouyang Lun, they were all as if struck by lightning.

This matter was done in a very secret way, and it has been four or five years since then, how could Zhu Tao know such details.

At that time, the imperial court had a special agency for doing business with the grasslands under the premise that salt, iron, tea and other items were officially operated.

The son-in-law Ouyang Lun sent his servant Zhou Bao to smuggle salt and tea outside in the name of the palace.

The biggest profit was more than 200 million taels, which is really a huge sum.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhou Bao brought a batch of tea bricks to Heqiaosi. He thought he would pass the customs as smoothly as before, but the tax officials there were not sympathetic at all.

After insisting on inspection, Zhou Bao actually sent someone to injure the tax official, and passed the customs smoothly.

This incident fell silent before any waves arose, because the tax official was thrown into the moat that night, and his body was not found until the next day.

Everyone knew that it was done by the son-in-law's servant, so no one dared to speak up, and this matter became an unsolved case.

In the 17th year of Hongwu, when Liu Bowen went to Gansu to investigate the case, the truth came to light.

This matter is well-known in the history books, because Ouyang Lun was sentenced to death at that time.

It is rare for an emperor to kill his son-in-law in ancient times, but Zhu Yuanzhang never cared about it at all, and wanted to use Ouyang Lun's head to warn the important officials of the court.

But this matter is only in the history books of later generations. If Zhu Tao was not a person who traveled through time, there would be almost no reason for this.

Now is the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Tao exposed this matter, so this old case was known to the world.

However, no matter what, Zhu Quan still believed that this matter was done in a very secret way, and no one would know about it, so naturally he refused to admit it.

"Zhu Tao, you are spitting blood. If you can't come up with real evidence, then I will die with you today."

Zhu Tao ignored him, looked at Ouyang Lun with a smile, and said to him.

"My son-in-law, don't you have any memory at all? Then do you want me to remind you again? The tax official who was beaten to death by your servant is called Liu Hui. His son Liu Guodong once went to the chief envoy Filed a complaint there, but was suppressed by your letter."

This kind of thing should have been known by heaven and earth, but Zhu Tao knew it so clearly. Ouyang Lun was so frightened that he kept trembling.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw this.He already understood seven or eight points, he glared at Ouyang Lun, and asked loudly.

"What's going on? You haven't recruited it honestly. Do you want to make the crime even more serious, and bring disaster to the whole family? You bastard, why did we recruit a son-in-law like you?"

Ouyang Lun couldn't stand the scaring anymore, so he had to kneel on the ground and tell all these things tremblingly.

After listening to his words, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious instantly. It turned out that his son and his son-in-law had colluded internally and externally to sell tea horses, which violated the imperial court's trade ban.

He ordered it right away.

"Jin Yiwei took Ouyang Lun down, executed Ling Chi, and told the world about this matter. No matter how important the minister is, as long as it violates the court's laws, he will never tolerate it easily."

Ouyang Wen was so frightened that there was no room for relaxation in this matter, and the death was so tragic, presumably Zhu Quan should save himself.

But it seemed that Zhu Quan couldn't even save himself, and he was sure that he had no way out.

At this time, Xu Zengshou had already come up. He had always disliked Ouyang Lun, so he would not pass up such an opportunity, so he took Jin Yiwei and dragged him down.

Zhu Quan quickly apologized to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, my son is so stupid. Ouyang Lun violated the court's law, but my son didn't realize it, and he is so close to him. Please punish him."

The people around him knew that this was just King Ning throwing the blame, but they didn't believe that the emperor would actually punish the prince.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Tao directly came over to make another cut, and he looked at King Ning with a smile and said.

"It's not as simple as being in a daze, because Ouyang Lun doesn't have the guts. You are doing business with the grassland, and the correspondence is at the Shi Lie Gate right now."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang's anger has reached its peak, because it would be easier to deal with purely smuggling, but selling things to the grasslands is treason.

Because at that time, the imperial court could exchange tea for [-] horses on the grassland every year, and sell tea to the grassland privately. One can imagine how serious the crime is.

At this time, Zhu Quan had already lost his last sanity, he stared at Zhu Tao fiercely, and shouted hysterically.

"So what if I sell things to the grassland, so what if I'm a traitor? Let me tell you, you are just a domestic slave of our family, so don't take yourself too seriously."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhu Tao kicked him directly with a whirlwind kick, which landed on his chin, and instantly his two front teeth spit out.

The ministers present were all stunned, this is the prince after all, how could he just say that and hit him immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not take Zhu Tao's behavior seriously at all, he said with a smile.

"This kind of evil should be beaten. Now I decree to deprive King Ning Zhu Quan of his title, depose him as a commoner, and lock him in the capital mansion. He is not allowed to go out unless the imperial order is given."

The whole scene was deserted in an instant, and no one could understand why Zhu Yuanzhang lost his title and became a commoner prisoner for the sake of an adopted son.

Unexpectedly, this matter was not over yet, Zhu Yuanzhang casually picked up an iron whip in the hands of the warriors in front of the temple, and handed it to Zhu Tao and said.

"Tao'er, let's give you this iron whip and call him the Golden Whip of the King of Beating. As long as you hold this iron whip, you can beat the grandson of the king, and beat the treacherous ministers and evil spirits. You don't need to ask for orders after beheading first."

At that time, as soon as the words came out, the six nine ministers in the court almost exploded.

What kind of power this is is basically self-evident, as long as Zhu Tao accepts this king whip, he can already be regarded as No. 1 under the emperor.

It can even be said that even the prince is not as important as his position, so it is hard to say whether this can pose a threat to the imperial power.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, even Zhu Tao himself was a little confused.

He just wanted to fight back against Zhu Quan, and he didn't want this bastard to make trouble for him from time to time, but he didn't want to beat Wang Jinbian.

Besides, with this thing, I guess I will feel embarrassed not to go to work all the time in the future. This whole thing is really very depressing.
