First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Flowers are not popular for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. Let alone the family of the grandparents, so what if they are close relatives?

If the position is not stable in the future, it's fine, you still have to rely on the strength of your mother's family and ancestral family, but what if your position is stable?

Judging from the current situation, according to Lao Zhu's thinking, as long as Yang'er is in good health and not stupid, he must be established as the grandson of the emperor as soon as possible, and as the heir of the Ming Dynasty, he will sue the ancestral temple of Tiandi Sheji and give orders to the civil and military groups The ministers and the common people are regarded as the orthodox of the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers.

In this way, don’t talk about others, even if it is Zhu Biao, don’t think about setting up another heir easily. This is the power of orthodoxy. As long as it is orthodox, it will naturally get the support of many traditional stability maintenance officials. Do not move lightly.

At that time, the Chang family will be in an extremely embarrassing situation. I believe Chang Yuchun has thought about this, and even the Lan family and Chang Luohua can't think of it at all.

It's just that I ignored it deliberately, thinking of luck, after all, it will be many years later.

Zhu Biaoying said: The daughter of the Feng family is naturally good. Since the mother-in-law is interested, then contact the Feng family after the father-in-law returns to Beijing. I will also write a letter to Song Guogong tomorrow.

Chang Luohua thanked her softly. The marriage between the Chang family and the Feng family is not a trivial matter. Without the approval of the emperor or her own husband, the Feng family would never dare to agree to this matter.

……………

The minister impeached the pro-military captain Jiang Yu for arbitrarily interfering with military orders. It should be clear that the canonical punishment should be punished by the court's laws!

The ministers and others seconded the proposal, knocking on the palace to come down and punish Jiang Yu!

His Royal Highness, I want to impeach Zhao Dong, the commander of the Left Army of the Beijing Camp, for perverting the law for his own sake and covering up salt dealers to transport salt into Beijing without permission. He should be punished!

Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, and the illegal salt entering Beijing may not be limited to one or two generals. Please also order a thorough investigation of the army and the soldiers and horses guarding the city.

I want to impeach Marquis Runan for leaving his post without authorization, disregarding the ban on alcohol, and abolishing the government for private reasons, please severely punish him!

Your Highness, my minister, wait...

Zhu Biao stood on top of Danbi, looking solemnly at the officials below who continued to appear for impeachment, waving their spears indiscriminately to muddy the water, and none of the officials above the third rank said a word.

Zhu Biao glanced at Li Cunyi, Minister of the Imperial Palace, and saw that his complexion was sallow and gloomy, and he felt that his eyes shrank unconsciously, and his already drooping head lowered.

The Wu Xuns did not watch the excitement today, and they kept coming out to speak, first targeting Jiang Yu, and then trying to find a way to excuse the Marquis of Runan. Although Mei Sizu was not from Huaixi, he was also a decent Marquis. They are their life and death brothers.

The warriors of the Ming Dynasty are generally very united. After all, they broke out together from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Whoever is not killed will die. It has only been a few years since the founding of the country, and their friendship has not deteriorated.

What's more, they go out to drink when they are on duty. They do this kind of thing a lot. Naturally, they don't want to be punished too severely, otherwise it will be uncomfortable for them in the future.

Zhu Biao turned his attention to the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and said: Jiang Yu is currently being held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. How does Chen Aiqing think it should be handled properly?

Chen Mingjie came out and responded: Hindering the military order should be punished according to the law. However, the officials who issued the transfer order in Zhao Dong and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion did have the intention of perverting the law for personal gain. It can be seen that there is a reason for Jiang Yu's obstruction, and he should be forgiven.

The Wu Xun immediately spat on Chen Mingjie's back, and said that Chen Mingjie must have received benefits, or he was afraid of revenge from the pro-military captain's mansion, so he was not qualified to be a hall official at all.

Chen Mingjie didn't pay any attention to the refutation, and then retreated back and stood with his head bowed. Of course, Jiang Yu's leaving the prison and entering the palace last night couldn't be hidden from him, the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

No matter whether it is a civil servant or a general, it is impossible to have any kindness towards the eagles and dogs of the pro-military captain's mansion. They are naturally hostile to each other. If Jiang Yu did not enter the palace last night, he would not mind throwing stones at him today.

But since the prince will specially summon a person who is in prison, it means that His Highness does not want Jiang Yu to die.

Several censors also spoke out, thinking that what Shangshu said was wrong. Even if Jiang Yu knew that there was something wrong with the transfer order, he should immediately ask for the order from His Royal Highness, or lurk at the gate of the city to catch the thief instead of directly Block the military order.

Zhu Biao made a final decision: Let's go to Jiang Wan's official position, and send him to the emperor's hometown to build the imperial mausoleum.

When this remark came out, even Wu Xun was a little surprised. They thought it would be good to keep Jiang Yu in prison for a longer period of time or to use dozens of military sticks.

The civil servants are not the ones who suffer, so naturally they have no opinion. Only the censors still feel light, and think that the canonical punishment should be announced.

It's not been a day or two since Yushi was separated from the road, so everyone pretended not to hear what they said, bowed neatly and said: Your Highness is wise!

Strike while the iron is hot, Zhu Biao also lazily listened to their argument, so he repeated yesterday's order, Zhao Dong and other people involved in the case will be executed, and the Marquis of Runan will still be judged by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

After the Wu Xuns are confirmed, they will stop arguing. If it is normal for the three justices, that is, the Criminal Department of Yushitai and Dali Temple to discuss the crime, His Highness will allow the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Government to discuss the crime. Basically, there will be no problem. .

Most of the governor's office of the Ministry of War is his own, and the Ministry of Punishment expected that he would not dare to talk too much. Such a small punishment and major punishment will pass. His Highness really still misses the old love, and the martial arts are very excited.

In this way, the foreplay was over, and Chen Youzong, the envoy of the General Administration, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go out, but he was not as fast as Li Cunyi, and the Minister of Taipusi went straight out and fell to his knees.

Zhu Biao was not surprised when he saw this. Although the laws of this dynasty are strict, it is always better to admit it than to be reported by others, and there was also an example of amnesty in the third year of Hongwu.

It was an official from the Ministry of Industry, who, relying on his power, withheld the precious wood sent by the Southwest Prefecture, and planned to ship it to the south of the Yangtze River to sell at a high price. Confiscating the house, the official was in panic all day long, and finally couldn't bear to admit what he had done to Lao Zhu and handed over all the proceeds.

Old Zhu didn't intend to forgive, but Empress Ma advised him, who is innocent? Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and torture and suppression of corruption must also be forgiven, otherwise it will be too much.

After all, he was only greedy for wood, not oppressing the people to search for their fat and anointing, so he just took back all his greedy ink, and demoted the third rank to remain as an official.

Li Cunyi kowtowed and said: I received a letter from my family last night. It was written by my elder brother himself. In it, I earnestly instruct me to be loyal to my duties, be honest and upright, and not to disappoint the kindness of the Holy Majesty, and to live up to the style of the Li family...

But Li Siqing doesn't seem to have done it! Your Highness, I have something important to report, Li Cunyi, the Minister of the Taipusi, is corrupt and perverted the law. Your Highness, please thoroughly investigate the accounts of the Taipusi!

Chen Youzong came out and interrupted Li Cunyi's speech, and bowed to report: Last night, there were people coming and going from the eunuch Taipu. It seems that Li Siqing knew that something was going to happen to him, and he was looking for a vacancy very quickly.

Zhang Han, the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple, came out and said: His Royal Highness, there were indeed a lot of accountants at the Taipu Temple last night, and several carts of money were brought in. I saw it with my own eyes. As a Shaoqing, my duty lies When I went to inquire, I was warned that this was Li Siqing's order, so don't worry about it.

Dali Temple Secretary Zhang Guanglie said sharply: Taipu Temple is an official of the imperial court, and Shaoqing is a fourth-rank adjutant. Why is it called meddling in other people's affairs? Zhang Shaoqing should immediately take down those crazy people!

Zhang Han turned his eyes to Hu Weiyong, who was at the front, and said coldly: What Zhang Siqing taught is that Xiaguan was planning to do the same, but he saw another person, it was Tu Zhongcheng, so he hurriedly turned around and put away the backup first. Keep the account book and present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Zhang Guanglie was even more furious when he heard the words: All the official offices of the imperial court perform their own duties. Tu Jie is not an official of the Taipu Temple, and there is no imperial decree or order from His Royal Highness. Why did you go to the Taipu Temple late at night? I would like to ask Your Highness Order that Li Cunyi and Tu Jie be taken into custody and interrogated by the three courts!
