Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

"So, should this villain be killed to show my greatness?" Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Chen Yan and asked with a smile.

Chen Yan was agitated, and immediately became impassioned: "Severe punishment is not enough to clarify the official punishment. Such unscrupulous people who dare to hurt the relatives of the imperial court officials must be severely punished!"

"Otherwise, wouldn't it make people think that the imperial court is weak and can be bullied? We want these troublemakers to know that the sons of imperial court officials can't be bullied casually!"

Snapped!
Chen Yan was still speaking impassionedly, when suddenly he was slapped across the face and hit by a force so hard that he fell to the ground, and he didn't even have time to change his expression.

"The minister's son can't be bullied at will, so can my son be bullied?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, still not relieved, and kicked the stunned Chen Li again.

Chen Gong watched his two sons fall to the ground, but he didn't dare to help them, his mind was full of the phrase "my son".

Could it be that these two bastards had offended the prince instead of clashing with the villager Ranger?
"Your Majesty, calm down. I'm young and dull. I don't know which Highness I offended. I must bring my minister to confess!" Chen Gong knelt on the ground with a plop, very straightforward.

Chen Gong said, looked at the prince on one side, and then at the two sons.

You didn't offend the prince, did you?

The two sons understood, and shook their heads in unison.

No, how can we have the guts?
Chen Gong nodded, it's fine if it's another prince, if it's a prince, I'm afraid he will be stripped of his title and official position.

"It's not any prince, but the son I recognize. But even so, he is not something you dogs can provoke!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of murderous intent.

Our Tao'er is so good, he usually doesn't cause disasters or troubles, and invents some policies or treasures to benefit the country when nothing happens, how do you dogs have the guts to provoke him?
And if you do this, Tao'er's impression of the officialdom will be even worse, and she will be even less willing to be an official, what should I do?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more furious, and kicked Chen Gong's face. Chen Gong's face was covered with blood, but he quickly knelt back.

Chen Li and Chen Yan also realized that they had made a big mistake, and quickly moved to their father's side, kneeling in a row, the three trembling, not daring to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

"Superior, set up a charter, don't get angry with them, and punish them." Li Shanchang persuaded.

The three of Chen Gong, father and son felt gloomy. They thought that this time they entered the palace to lead the officials, but they didn't expect to come to receive the punishment.

However, Chen Gong was relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he was only the son recognized by His Majesty. If he collided with the real prince, the heads of the three of them would not be enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to chop off.

But the son he recognized would not be so serious, maybe it would mean cutting his salary. After all, he had already been beaten, and Zhu Yuanzhang had so many adoptive sons, so it should be over in one breath.

"What do you think should be punished?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Exile, exile, confiscation of property. Anything less would be unfair to Tao'er!" Empress Ma said first.

Chen Gong widened his eyes and looked at Empress Ma.

No, it's not that Empress Ma doesn't participate in political affairs, and has always been soft-hearted, so why is she so ruthless when she speaks?
"Second minister!" Zhu Biao also set an example: "If it's just dismissal from office, the punishment would be too light, and there's no value for the minister to replace Zhu Tao."

Chen Gong was completely stupid this time. The prince has always been the representative of tolerance and benevolence. How many times the courtiers made mistakes, and the prince pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang to save them.

Why are you so ruthless this time?
He turned his attention to the three chief ministers for help. They are all officials in the same court, but because they bumped into an adopted son of the emperor who didn't know where he came from, they gave me such a serious crime. Wouldn't you be sad?
However, for the benefit of all officials, the three Chief Assistants should also help to intercede.

Sure enough, Liu Bowen took a step forward: "Superior, it's not right!"

Chen Gong's eyes lit up. Liu Bowen is a meritorious minister who founded the country. Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely consider his words!

"With such a big fanfare, it's easy for the young boss to guess our identities. Why don't we find a crime and kill them all."

"I think so too!" Li Shanchang and Song Lian both agreed.

Are you crazy?
Chen Gong trembled all over, he just wanted to curse, who is the young master?Why did you kill us just to hide your identity from him?

Chen Li and Chen Yan were already shaking like sieves, prostrate on the ground and shouted for injustice.

"Injustice, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, took out a long sword, and threw it to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was still in a daze at the moment, and he took the sword blankly, but he still hadn't figured out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Your Majesty gave me the sword, is it Shang Fang's sword, is this to let me be promoted?
However, before he could figure it out, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang shout coldly: "Come here, escort!"

Chen Gong stood up.

Escort?

There are assassins?
where?
Puchi!

The sound of the spear sinking into the flesh and blood sounded, Chen Gong saw the spear blade protruding from his body, and the cold eyes of the imperial guards, and realized.

Damn it, the assassin was actually me!

"father!"

"Your Majesty, you are wronged!"

Chen Li and Chen Yan were panic-stricken, and were quickly pressed to the ground by the imperial guards, they could only keep yelling.

"Drag out, the Chen family and his son intend to assassinate, but I don't want to do more killings recently, kill the main culprit and the Chen family's trilogy, ransack the house, fill the family members into the Jiaofang Division, and expel the rest from the capital."

The Imperial Army dragged the two brothers of the Chen family out of the hall.

Only then did the murderous aura on Zhu Yuanzhang subside.From the eunuch's report to the Chen family's assembly trilogy, the father and son of the Chen family were already dead.What do they want to do with their assembly, isn't it just to kill Zhu Tao?

If he hadn't acted quickly, what if something happened to Zhu Tao?
At that time, even if the nine clans of the Chen family are exterminated, they will not be able to get Zhu Tao back!

Empress Ma sighed: "Obviously I gave Tao'er the jade pendant, if he took it out, how could he be bullied by such people."

"Tao'er is afraid that your background is not strong enough. If you rashly take out the jade pendant, it will be bad for you and your family." Zhu Yuanzhang guessed Zhu Tao's thoughts.

"Well, let's go there at night, let our son see it, we have the ability to protect him from the wind and rain! By the way, take Ling'er with you, this child should go home."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

The three of Liu Bowen looked at each other, and were a little puzzled. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, could it be possible that he wanted to reveal his identity to Zhu Tao?

Stop pretending, I am the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and I have a showdown!

"Master, you have to think twice about this matter!" Liu Bowen persuaded: "I'm afraid it's not a good thing to explain your identity to the young master rashly."
