People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 288 Compared with him, Yang Xian is nothing

Zhu Yuanzhang read the information several times, and immediately flew into a rage.

"Yang Xian is a thief, if he dares to touch Zhang Yi, I will punish his nine clans..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened with anger, like the Destroyer King Kong who came out of hell.

The moment he knew that Zhang Yi was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, he immediately wanted to kill Yang Xian.

Yang Xian has made many mistakes, some of which he, as the emperor, knows very well.

But Lao Zhu chooses to forbear because he has political needs for Yang Xian.

But any demand can't meet Zhang Yi himself...

"Father, calm down..."

Seeing that if it wasn't already late at night, Lao Zhu would have sent people to go outside the palace overnight to arrest him.

Zhu Biao stopped the furious emperor and persuaded him:

"With Daoist Zhang making such a fuss, the younger brother of the Zhang family will not be able to suffer in the Ministry of Criminal Justice tonight...

It is enough for Father to send someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice early tomorrow morning to pick him up, but...

Father has to think about it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was persuaded by Zhu Biao, and he bowed his head in thought.

"No, just to be on the safe side, I will send someone over now, and use your name to suppress those people from the Ministry of Punishment...

If they dare to touch Zhang Yi in the slightest, I want them to be buried with all of them..."

Zhu Biao nodded, he knew what to do.

Call someone and pass a word of mouth.

Soon after the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment received news from the palace.

"His Royal Highness has an oral order that Mr. Xu is his teacher. If Mr. Xu has violated the laws of the country, he must be dealt with according to the law!
But before the conviction, lynching cannot be used! "

Zhang's father and son, Xu's couple heard the movement in the cell, and Xu Cunren was so moved that he trembled all over. ,
Dragging his weak body, he knelt down towards the palace.

"I didn't expect it, but thanks to my husband, His Royal Highness is indeed benevolent and righteous!"

Zhang Yi was talking to himself, but Lao Zhang was thoughtful.

His Royal Highness begged Xu Cunren for mercy, but he refused to believe him.

There are many people who have taught Zhu Biao. Although Xu Cunren and Zhu Biao have a good relationship, they are not that good.

When the case is unclear, it is actually unreasonable to bypass the emperor to intercede for Xu Cunren.

It is false to support Xu Cunren, I am afraid that his own son is the main reason why the Crown Prince came to the Ministry of Punishment.

After Lao Zhang figured this out, he quickly relaxed.

Now that His Majesty is here, nothing will happen to Longhushan and Zhang Yi.

"Okay, let's go to sleep!"

After relaxing, Zhang normal went to sleep peacefully, but Zhang Yi was still a little puzzled.

Lao Zhang's performance this time has the demeanor of an outsider.

"Teacher, you take medicine!"

Zhang Normal was carrying golden sore medicine, and Zhang Yi used it for Xu Cunren. After a whole day of tossing, the Xu family and his wife finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Only Zhang Yi kept staring at the night sky outside the cell, wondering what he was thinking about?
……

On the second day, early morning.

When Yang Xian's sedan chair approached the palace, all the officials stopped immediately.

He stepped out of the sedan chair and lowered his head, but others could also see that Lord Yang's nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"This real person on Longhu Mountain not only has lightning skills, but also has extraordinary fists and feet!"

Someone saw his appearance from a distance and couldn't help laughing.

Right Prime Minister was beaten by Zhenren Zhang of Longhu Mountain at the entrance of the criminal department.

This news does not mean that everyone in the capital knows it, but at least the officials above rank four already know it well.

Zai is quite like this, which is simply a shame.

Yang Xian suppressed dissidents these days and offended many people, so everyone was very happy to watch Master Yang make a fool of himself.

This vague gaze fell on Yang Xian like a thorn.

He didn't speak, just lowered his head, but he was full of hatred, wishing to kill Longhushan to vent his hatred.

He didn't want to face reality, and naturally no one would trouble him.

It's just that Yang Xian found out that he was wrong, and someone walked towards him.

"Liu Ji!"

When Yang Xian saw Liu Bowen, he felt that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, Liu Bowen looked him up and down, and said:

"Master Yang, what's the reason for this, he's covered in scars?"

Yang Xian was annoyed: "Liu Ji, it's none of your business!"

Liu Bowen nodded and said:

"If you walk too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts. My lord, be careful when you walk in the future..."

He just walked past Yang Xian, but the people around couldn't help laughing.

Laughter is contagious, and immediately many people laugh too.

This laughter fell in Yang Xian's ears, but it was like a needle prick.

Fortunately, a eunuch finally came to help him out at this time, and the morning court began.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Hundreds of officials saw the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang and other officials stood up and swept over the officials.

His eyes stopped on Yang Xian.

Out of shame and anger, Yang Xian came out first and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Sir, please let the emperor be the master!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said:
"Yang Xian, what's the matter with your face?"

Yang Xian replied:

"Your Majesty, it was beaten by Longhushan Daoist Zhang Normal, who has no law and refuses to accept discipline.

Although the minister is not worth mentioning, he is also the prime minister of Ming Dynasty. If this person beat the minister in public, he also slapped you, Emperor Ming, in the face.

I ask the emperor to be the master for my minister, let Zhang normal follow the law..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked:

"Why did that normal card hit you?"

Yang Xian hesitated slightly, and said:

"I heard that the Ministry of Punishment took Xu Cunren, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, because the suspect was suspected of colluding with pirates, so I went to have a look...

The normal child was brought back together.When the minister left the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Normal was at the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, clamoring for the minister to release his son...

I feel that the imperial court has its own laws, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice handles cases, as well as the Ministry of Criminal Justice's rules!

It's just that the minister tried to persuade him with good words, but he didn't know how to provoke the Taoist, and he actually beat the minister!
Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your ministers! "

Old Zhu was noncommittal when he heard the words, turned to the officials and asked:

"Where are the people from the Criminal Department?"

"His Majesty!"

The minister of the Ministry of punishment came out and knelt on the ground.

"Tell me, you arrested the little real man, but you think he is guilty?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment broke out in a cold sweat.

It's hard to answer this question, they brought Zhang Yi back, firstly, it was easy, secondly, they really planned to concoct Zhang Yi well, and by the way, vent their anger for Yang Xian.

If it was another time, they would not dare to flatter Yang Xian blatantly, after all, the Ministry of Industry learned the lesson last time.

Only recently, with the help of the case of collusion with pirates, the emperor has killed too many officials.

This also gave the Ministry of Punishment the privilege of being in control of life and death.

Now that the emperor asked, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments could only grit his teeth and say:

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not true, but Xu Cunren is suspected of colluding with pirates, so we will take this passport back along the way!"

"So you doubt that an eight-year-old child can collude with pirates, or is Xu Cunren asking him to help pirates?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was very calm, but the Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not know how to answer.

Fortunately, Lao Zhu changed the subject:
"But no matter what, no matter how much Zhang Tongzheng loves his son, he shouldn't beat the court officials in public. Officials are the face of the court and also represent the majesty of the court!
Come on, I..."

"His Majesty!"

Before the emperor could speak, Liu Bowen took the initiative to come out.

"Liu Ji, tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed back the words and looked at Liu Ji quietly.

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Normal is doing is indeed wrong, but I have a question?
At any rate, he is also a Taoist who has experienced two dynasties and has achieved success in practice.

If it wasn't for being really anxious, I couldn't figure out why he would make such a bad move? "

"Liu Ji, do you mean to lie about the truth? Deliberately slander Zhang Normal?"

Yang Xian couldn't bear it first, and jumped up to accuse Liu Ji.

Liu Ji's expression remained unchanged, and he said:

"My lord Yang, I don't have this intention, I just remind His Majesty, if you listen to it, you will understand!"

Listening to one sentence will make it clear, and Lao Zhu nodded happily:

"Come on, it's normal to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to raise a Zhang, I want to ask him personally!"

Yang Xian's face turned slightly pale. If Lao Zhang were to confront him, who knows what Zhang normal would say?

He stared at Liu Bowen with hatred.

Liu Bowen was expressionless.

These days, Yang Xian poured water on the Zhedong faction, and many people from the Zhedong faction died.

Liu Bowen is the person Yang Xian wants to harm the most, but this old boy is not slippery, and he has no chance to do anything.

Who would have thought that Liu Bowen, who had been showing weakness all the time, would spoil his good deeds again at a critical moment.

But Yang Xian comforted himself, even if the emperor asked Lao Zhang to confront him, he would not be afraid.

……

At this time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in prison.

Zhang Yi and his son are discussing.

"Father, the fact that you beat up Yang Xian can be big or small..."

At the beginning of a new day, Zhang Yi and his son had to think about the future. There was a high probability that the emperor would know about Zhang Yi's arrest after Lao Zhang beat Yang Xian.

But Zhang Yi had no idea how the emperor would deal with it.

Maybe it was Thunder's fury, maybe it was another reaction.

But Zhang Yi believed in one thing, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang would at least give Zhang Zhengcheng a chance to explain in person.

"If you hurt the right minister of the court, according to the emperor's temperament, no matter what you do, father, you will definitely arouse the emperor's wrath.

No matter how unbearable Yang Xian is, he is also the face of the court, and he is inseparable from the emperor all the way through his promotion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor!
So how to justify, then there are skills..."

Zhang Normal wasn't too worried, but followed Zhang Yi's question and asked:

"Then what do you think Pindao should say?"

"Didn't Yang Xian lie in your ear and say that sentence? This is where we make a fuss. There is no need to emphasize it, as long as it arouses the emperor's taboo...

You want to get rid of the crime and be exempted from punishment. First, you must emphasize the relationship between father and son, which can arouse empathy from the emperor, but it is not enough.

No matter how much His Majesty sympathizes with you, he won't let you go easily, unless...

Yang Xian committed a taboo, think about it, I told you before, what is the emperor's most taboo? "

Lao Zhang was thoughtful, at this time the door of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice opened, and the eunuch in the palace came in and announced:

"Zhang normal enters the palace to have an audience!"

Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.

At this time, the sky is dry and bright, and the morning court is not down yet?

It seems that Yang Xian filed a complaint quite early.

When the eunuch came, everyone in the cell knelt down and thanked him.

Zhang Normal seemed to understand, but he took the initiative to accept the order.

"Really Zhang, His Majesty is very angry, but he is also eager to protect his son when he thinks of you, so he will give you a chance to explain..."

It was Wang Gonggong who passed the message, and he seemed to be casually explaining, but gave Lao Zhang a reminder.

Lao Zhang immediately felt much more at ease. His majesty was really against Zhang Yi. As long as he grasped the protection of the calf, he was right to defend himself.

He looked back at his own child, suddenly full of confidence.

"Father-in-law, His Majesty is worried, let's go!"

Boom!

Lao Zhang and the others left, and the prison door closed with a loud bang.

Zhang Yi's heart was empty after Lao Zhang left.

Although I am confident, it would be a lie to say that I am not worried.

"Yang Xian..."

A trace of killing intent flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, will you die this time?
……

Zhang Normal went out, and a prison car was waiting for him.

Lao Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then the prince said:

"This is His Majesty's special order!"

He has not been convicted at this time, but beating the imperial court official is still a serious crime after all.

Lao Zhang nodded and got into the prison car.

Zhang Tianshi was arrested...

At the fifth watch, Yingtian Mansion was already full of people's voices, and Zhang Normal's ostentation in the market caused many people to discuss it.

The great sense of shame made Lao Zhang feel ashamed.

Longhushan has been passed down for 42 generations, and he is probably the most embarrassing celestial master.

But Lao Zhang was not angry. The more the emperor humiliated himself in this way, the more it meant that the emperor wanted to protect himself.

The imperial court ordered the official to be the prime minister.

This is the court's face, if he escapes without any price, it doesn't matter if the court has no face.

Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't relieve his anger.

When Lao Zhang thought of this, he took it calmly.

"What mistake did Zhang Tianshi make?"

"It is said that the prime minister was beaten because the child was caught..."

"This is a great crime!"

"Arrogant and domineering, with no court in sight, you really deserve it..."

"It turns out that when gods fight, they also use their fists..."

"Being able to stand up for the child, at least this celestial master is also a man of temperament!"

The common people on the road have mixed opinions on Zhang Normal's behavior.

Lao Zhang's not-so-long parade finally came to an end.

When he came to the gate of the palace, the prison cart still went straight in. The emperor clearly wanted to make him lose himself in front of all the officials.

However, after Zhang normal understood the emperor's thoughts, he felt at ease.

Fengtian Temple.

Under the watchful eyes of all the officials, Lao Zhang who was locked in the prison car was pushed in. The officials watched Lao Zhang and saw that there was no trace of fear on his face.

The officials present felt differently about him.

Some people gloated, some people were filled with righteous indignation, and some people had a little sympathy for him.

"Go down!"

The guards in the palace opened the door of the prison car and pushed Lao Zhang down. Lao Zhang staggered, but stood still.

He was escorted all the way to the emperor and knelt down.

"Criminal Zhang normal pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

His voice echoed in the open space, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept a straight face, showing no joy or anger:
"Zhang normal, are you convicted?"

"It is a serious crime for a minister to beat an official ordered by the court, and the minister pleaded guilty..."

Lao Zhang didn't make any excuses, and simply confessed the crime, and the other officials had different expressions.

Yang Xian covered his face, wishing he could kill Zhang normal.

"Since you know that it is a serious crime to beat a court official, why did you take action against Master Yang?"

Hearing this, Zhang Normal quickly knelt on the ground and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the court has been turbulent recently. After my son knew about the relationship between master and apprentice, he went to visit Xu Cunren, but he didn't want the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest him, so he took my son...

I know that my son is only eight years old and has no crimes, so I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to inquire about the news!

However, Yang Xian deliberately made things difficult, and the minister had no choice but to beat him!

The purpose of beating him was to give the minister the opportunity to kneel in front of Fengtian Hall and explain to the emperor.

Master Yang, he has objections..."

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, the eyes of the officials present all fell on Yang Xian, which was interesting.

Sure enough, Yang Xian didn't expect Lao Zhang to say this, and his face turned pale immediately.

"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense..."
