Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 448: Bachelor and Confucian scholars protest (please subscribe!!)

"I realize my mistake and accept the punishment!"

Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan said in unison.

"In that case, let's deal with it this way."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired. You can all step back."

"My son-in-law (son-in-law) retires!"

Ouyang Lun, Zhu Biao, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Quan all bowed and then retreated.

Waiting to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Huh - it's finally out!" Zhu Quan took a deep breath and stretched, "I thought I couldn't even see the sun outside today!"

"I almost thought we were doomed!" Zhu Fan also said with emotion.

These scholars may not be good at force, but they are good at speaking and speaking, and no one can defeat them in a debate. Instead, they will doubt whether they have done something wrong.

"The prince's brother-in-law makes sense. You two will be locked up in the clan's mansion for a year. If others say that you are on vacation at my place, you are not taking the opportunity to cause trouble!" Ouyang Lun thought for a while, and finally took out his hand. He took out a rope and threw it to Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan.

Originally, the matter between King Jin and King Ning should have ended here.

"Master Guo, have you heard?"

"what?"

"Thank you brother-in-law for saving your life!"

"Third brother is right. If brother-in-law Ouyang hadn't said you wanted to kill us first, my father would have been reluctant to do so. Only then would you have revealed the real solution, and my father would have agreed. Gao!" Zhu Quan exclaimed in admiration. .

"What else could happen? Those students and Confucian scholars gathered to protest on the street. The scene was more lively than the Chinese New Year!"

Adhering to the principle of better to arrest the wrong person than to let it go, the Jin Yiwei arrested all the scholars, from the scholars to the students, and threw them all into prison.

After knowing about this incident, the capital prefecture Yi decisively ordered the government officials to arrest all the protesting scholars.

However, after learning that their students had been arrested, the teachers of these scholars were also very dissatisfied and began to gather to protest. With these teacher-level leaders taking the lead, the protest was getting bigger and bigger. This was no longer the case for Yi Neng in the capital city. If it is handled, report it immediately!

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang was too tolerant to his son, and he couldn't bear it after all. He had no other choice but to follow Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's ideas. He couldn't offend the big boss and the future boss at the same time.

Ouyang Lun pulled one end of the rope and led Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan towards the clan mansion. Zhu Biao did not leave, but followed Ouyang Lun.

"what happened?"

"You two tie yourselves up."

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, please take care of me! I really miss the food in Zongren Mansion. I wonder if the taste has changed now." Zhu Quan said expectantly.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the news, he was furious and directly ordered the Jin Yiwei to go out to arrest people.

"Hey, don't you think that your Majesty's punishment to King Jin and King Ning is too light? He said that your Majesty only allowed the state officials to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps."

Hearing this, Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan also reacted.

"No, I'm just telling the truth. Besides, I just wanted to kill you two. Don't you blame me?" Ouyang Lun waved his hand.

"Third brother, seventeenth brother, you two are criminals now. You are not acquitted. Pay attention! If someone sees it, it will have a bad impact!" Seeing Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan so relaxed, Zhu Biao had to remind them. Fan.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet arrived, and all the officials are standing, bowing their heads and whispering to each other, talking incessantly.

"Let's go! Go home!"

But what happens when tens of thousands of troops enter the capital? The Jin Yiwei could only follow the team eagerly, for fear that the team would break into a riot. This was almost the same as a riot, but it was more troublesome than a riot.

"Of course I'm not surprised. Besides, we all know that this is actually a strategy and you don't really want to kill the two of us!" Zhu Fan said with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of Ouyang Lun and Zhu Biao, Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan had no choice but to tie themselves up with ropes.

"Now that you have analyzed it, I won't say anything more. This time is just a lesson. You two must learn from this lesson!" Ouyang Lun said.

Ahem, your analysis is very good, but the analysis is wrong. I really want Zhu Yuanzhang to knock you two out. This will save you two troubles!

Things got further out of control.

"With these corrupt scholars, if Prince Jin and Prince Ning commit any crimes, it's a family matter of the emperor. It's none of their business. Why don't you just keep learning?"

"Brother, there are no outsiders here. Whoever dares to gossip will see if I don't destroy him!" Zhu Quan shouted.

If there were only one or two hundred people, Jin Yiwei could lock them all up.

"Third brother, seventeenth brother, you two can pass the test smoothly all because of brother-in-law Ouyang, why don't you two quickly say thank you!" Zhu Biao urged.

Normally, things should end here.

"It cannot be said that students who study Confucianism are the pillars of the country. They are doing this to share the country's worries. As long as they don't do anything extreme, let them be."

In the Tai Chi Hall.

They formed a long team and marched towards the capital!

Even Ouyang Lun thought this way. After throwing Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan into the prison room of Zongren Mansion, he went back to the room to rest, but a big event happened the next day!
Some scholars heard that Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan rebelled but nothing happened. In their opinion, this was entirely caused by the collapse of etiquette and the emperor's selfish bending of the law. How could he give an explanation to the world!
So under the leadership of a few of them, they actually began to gather on the streets of Beijing to protest.

But even so, instead of being afraid, these scholars resisted more actively. After arresting the students in the capital, bachelors, teachers and scholars from the towns surrounding the capital chose to go to the capital to support them, and more and more people continued to join them.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, please rest assured. In the next year, we two brothers will study hard with you and strive to learn more useful things!" Zhu Fan said firmly.

"oh oh."

"Master Guo, don't you know? In addition to scolding Your Majesty, these great scholars also scolded Ouyang's consort, saying that Ouyang's consort bewitched the emperor and protected King Ning of Jin. He is the man behind the rebellion of King Ning of Jin!"

"Damn it! These people are talking nonsense. What do Jingcheng Fuyi and Jinyiwei do for food? Why don't we get rid of these corrupt people quickly!!"

"Master Guo, you have changed a lot!"

"Is that big? I'm always the same as I am on the outside!!"

"Hmph! Mr. Guo is indeed loyal to Ouyang Prince Consort. I feel that these students are doing the right thing in Confucianism. His Majesty is an example to the world. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty! And Ouyang Prince Consort. The verdict of the case is unfair and he is not worthy of being a clan member at all. make!"

Ouyang Lun was also standing in the Tai Chi Hall. He had no interest in what the officials were discussing. If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come again, he would have no choice but to take out the fake eyes and wear them to sleep!

"Ouyang Prince Consort, those students and Confucian scholars are making a big fuss this time! You have to be more careful!"

Lu Chang stood next to Ouyang Lun and said softly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern." Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"You should be an official in the same dynasty." Lu Chang asked curiously: "Ouyang Prince Consort, I am a little curious. Did King Ning of Jin really rebel, and then was he lightly punished by you?"

"But I feel that Ouyang Prince Consort, you must have your own judgment when doing this, so you don't need to pay attention to those rumors."

Lu Chang's face was full of curiosity. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had been handling this matter quietly. These ministers only found out later, and each one was more surprised than the other. Lu Chang was standing next to Ouyang Lun, and naturally he couldn't help but ask.

As a bachelor of the cabinet, Lu Chang is also a scholar. He received the news last night, but he did not bother to join the protest queue of students and Confucian scholars. "The King of Jin, Prince Ning, is indeed handled by my consort, but it doesn't matter what matters they have to do, he has too much control over it!"

"Are all the Jinyi guards just for free? If I find them, I will lock them all up! Not to mention ten thousand people, even one hundred thousand people will be locked up. Those who are stubborn and incompetent should be killed!"

When Ouyang Lun said these words, he burst out with great momentum, which could be said to be murderous.

Ouyang Lun's voice was not quiet. As soon as he said this, all the officials who were talking about it stopped and looked at Ouyang Lun one by one.

Be good! Is this prince consort crazy?
If we really kill these students and Confucian scholars, there will definitely be even greater trouble!

Many officials were opposed to Ouyang Lun's remarks, but in the face of Ouyang Lun, they did not dare to say these words. Of course, if someone took the lead, it would be different. Many officials were weighing in their minds whether to do it now. Stand up and scold Ouyang Lun. After all, Ouyang Lun is now the Minister of Household Affairs and presides over the Ming Dynasty's largest policy, the "First Five-Year Plan." In addition, there are many other policies implemented. It can be said that he has great power. At this time, he directly stands up. When facing Ouyang Lun, one must weigh the gains and losses.

Just when the officials were still wrestling with their plans.

Zhu Yuanzhang appeared in the Tai Chi Hall with a gloomy face. Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum directly cast a shadow over the entire Tai Chi Hall. Now the civil and military officials did not dare to express their opinions easily.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Long live your majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at the salutes of the civil and military officials, and then said calmly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials finished the ceremony.

However, Wang Zhong surprisingly did not shout "All ministers will come to court early, and all officials will come to remonstrate", and the civil and military officials did not dare to speak randomly.

"Bring these two bastards, Prince Jin and Prince Ning, to me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Wang Zhong agreed, he turned around and shouted to the outside of the Taiji Hall: "The king of Jin and the king of Ning have come to the palace to have an audience!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, there was a commotion among the civil and military officials. They all looked a little shocked. At the same time, they also understood that today's meeting was probably going to be used to deal with the affairs of King Jin and King Ning.

After a while.

Two figures walked in from outside Tai Chi Hall.

However, when the civil and military officials saw clearly the appearance of these two figures, they were all stunned.

I saw King Jin and King Ning wearing prison clothes, covered with bloodstains, their hands and feet were shackled with iron shackles, and their feet were bare. Every step they took was stained with blood! ! How miserable! !

"My son Zhu Fan (Zhu Quan) pays homage to my father!"

"I know my mistake!"

After saying that, Zhu Fan and Zhu Quan knelt down and crawled on the ground.

hiss--

No matter what they saw or what they just heard, all the civil and military officials took a breath.

At the same time, he looked at Ouyang Lun.

What the hell!

You are worthy of being the one who dares to beat Prince Daming like this! Ouyang Prince Consort!
Before, I thought Ouyang Lun was a nice, approachable, and kind person, but I didn't expect that all of this was just a disguise. Just now he directly stated that he wanted to kill tens of thousands of Confucian students, and now he has beaten King Jin and King Ning like this. It's so cruel!

This is Ouyang Lun's true face!
Lu Chang and Song Lian, who were standing closest to Ouyang Lun, couldn't help but stay away from Ouyang Lun.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high up, looked a little shocked when he saw his two sons looking like this, but he quickly hid his expression and showed a calm and indifferent look.

"You are guilty!"

"Raising a private army, this alone is enough to kill you!"

"But since you didn't really rebel, you have received the punishment you deserve. This is the end of the matter!"

"Biao'er."

"My son is here." Zhu Biao said quickly.

"Compile the affairs of King Jin and King Ning into an announcement and inform the world to set the record straight!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Yes."

"If anyone dares to continue this matter and incite students and scholars to cause trouble." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at all the officials in the Taiji Hall with his eyes like a torch, and said in a deep voice: "The Jin Yiwei will arrest him immediately and kill him without mercy!"

"Yes, the general will take your orders!" Ji Gang stood up and agreed loudly.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, many officials panicked and spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, students and Confucian scholars are the pillars of the country. If we kill them, it will be a huge loss to our Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Jinyi Guards have arrested many Confucianists in the past two days. Among them is the Confucian master Li Dongyang. He is a figure like a leader in Confucianism. The most important reason why the students and Confucian scholars outside are making such a big fuss now is It was Mr. Li Dongyang who was arrested.”

"I thought that as long as Mr. Li Dongyang, the master of Confucianism, was released, the crisis would be resolved naturally."

After listening to what the officials said, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

"Li Dongyang is indeed a character, but if he offends me, then I can only blame him for his bad fate!"

"Come here, bring me this Li Dongyang!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang ordered in a deep voice.

Every moment, two royal guards brought up an old man with gray hair and wearing Confucian robes.

Even though his hands and feet were shackled, this old man in Confucian robes still looked up at people with his head in the air and his nostrils, looking extremely arrogant.

"Are you Li Dongyang?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"It's me!"

Li Dongyang continued to raise his head and chest, his head was not lowered, and he had no intention of kneeling, as if he was not wrong at all.

but.
boom--

Hearing just one sound, Li Dongyang had already knelt down!
It was the Jinyiwei escorting Li Dongyang who kicked Li Dongyang in the knee.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, don't expect me to surrender!!"
