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

Chapter 466: Sudden incident, storm rises again (please subscribe!!)
For supporting Confucianism, they would at most get thanks from those great Confucians. Even considering the arrogant character of those great Confucians, they would not even receive thanks. Instead, they felt that this was what they should do, and prevented Ouyang Lun from implementing the new education model. They will go hungry.

So what if we don’t support Confucianism but support Ouyang Lun’s implementation of a new education model?
Obviously, the civil and military officials have made their own choices.

After a while, there were not many officials who were still standing behind Li Shanchang. The other officials all stood back in their queues, looking at each other, as if they had nothing to do with them.

Seeing this scene, Li Shanchang was also quite helpless.

Li Shanchang really wants to scold these officials who have changed their attitude. They are simply giving up their waists for five buckets of rice. Where is your integrity and backbone? !
But in front of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he really didn't dare.

To be honest, after learning the contents of Ouyang Lun's booklet, Li Shanchang himself was shocked and began to feel entangled in his heart.

If there was no salary, he, Li Shan, would have farmland, a house, and a shop, and he would not starve to death. But he would not have a salary for two years. If he was not greedy, he would probably have to sell his property in two years to survive. .

Damn Ouyang Lun, could he have left this booklet here on purpose?

If this is the case, this is really a vicious plot, and even he has been fooled.

"Your Majesty, I just said that if there is nothing bad in this booklet, he should be punished!"

Guo Zi stood up and pointed at the Huaixi officials who were reading the brochure.

"Well, if you dare to slander the royal family in front of me, you should be killed according to the law. However, I thought it was your first offender, so I gave you forty sticks and then threw you out of the palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then waved his hand to make a decision.

bang-

Upon hearing this result, the Huaixi officials were so frightened that they could not hold the booklet in their hands and dropped it to the ground.

Then he quickly knelt on the ground and begged frantically for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I can't stand it with forty sticks!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me!"

"Old Xiangguo Li, save me!"

Amidst another burst of wailing, the Huaixi official was dragged down mercilessly, but Li Shanchang, like last time, did not look at the official at all, as if the official had nothing to do with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Shanchang's look and smiled, "Li Shanchang, could it be that this official has nothing to do with you?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I am indeed not familiar with him! Since I have made a promise, I should be punished if I lose!"

Li Shanchang said quickly.

"Li Shanchang, you are worthy of being the leader of hundreds of officials! You know the most important thing about being an official!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, "I was originally worried that during the time you were away from the court, you learned nothing else but how to form cliques. Party, exclude dissidents!”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang broke into cold sweat on his back and saluted quickly, "I don't dare!"

"I hope you don't dare!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Since no one opposes the new education model anymore, this matter has been completely settled. If anyone dares to dissent from now on, the two people who were just pulled out will be your fate!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, screams came from outside the palace. The civil and military officials were shaken, their heads lowered, and they did not dare to say another word.

"Sir, you understand!"

Li Shanchang could only bow his head and hand over his hand.

"Dismiss the dynasty."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he stood up and left.

After Zhu Yuanzhang left, all the civil and military officials in the hall heaved a sigh of relief.

Many officials glanced at Li Shanchang, shook their heads slowly and left.

Not long after, only Li Shanchang was left in the entire Tai Chi Hall.

"Master Li, this Tai Chi Hall will be closed soon, please leave." The words of a eunuch made Li Shanchang react from deep thought.

"it is good."

Li Shanchang nodded and turned to leave.

When he walked outside the palace, he happened to see two Huaixi Party officials who had been beaten with forty sticks wailing on the ground. People around them did not dare to approach and left in a hurry.

After seeing Li Shanchang, the two people hurriedly crawled towards Li Shanchang as if they had seen a savior.

"Old Xiangguo Li, we are like this because we listen to you. You can't ignore us!"

"Old Xiangguo Li, help me!"

Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Li Shanchang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Useless trash! Get away!"

After saying that, he walked away, then got into his own carriage and drove away, leaving two Huaixi Party officials wailing on the ground.

This time the debate in the court spread quickly throughout the capital, and the streets, alleys, teahouses and taverns were discussing the matter. The feat of the prince-in-law Ouyang Lun with one against fifteen was even more talked about!

"Let me tell you, at that time, the Tai Chi Palace was full of dangers. If we were not careful, our prince-in-law would be doomed!"

"Ouyang Prince Consort is really a god. He faced fifteen great Confucian scholars all by himself and actually won. Even Zhuge Liang's verbal battle with the Confucian scholars was like this!"

"You are all wrong. Ouyang Prince Consort is not one person against fifteen people, but one person against sixteen people. The extra person is an even stronger enemy!"

"Who?"

"That is Old Prime Minister Li who has come back to power! It was he who initiated this court debate."

"Indeed, the entire Huaixi Party is behind Old Xiangguo Li. Prince Consort Ouyang is going to fight against a group of people!"

"Strong, too strong! If I encounter him, I will kneel down immediately."

"I used to think that our prince-in-law was too laid-back, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce!"

"Is this so ferocious? You haven't seen the scene in Peiping when hundreds of thousands of Northern Yuan troops came to the city. Our prince-in-law took the old, weak, women and children in the city and directly made the Northern Yuan troops cry."

"It's amazing. It's like you've seen it with your own eyes!"

"Forehead"

While everyone was discussing this matter, admiring and praising Ouyang Lun, several men in black rushed over and beat everyone violently.

Boom!

Ahh!

"If I hear you praising Ouyang Lun again from now on, I will beat you to death!"

"Ouyang's traitorous officials must be punished by everyone!"

"You fools have been deceived by Ouyang Lun's false appearance!!"

After beating these people violently, the men in black said a few cruel words to Tuixi and left in a hurry.

This kind of situation not only happened once, but also happened many times in Beijing alone. These men in black would leave quickly after beating someone. Even if the people who were beaten reported it to the police, they could not be found at all. The traces of people seem to have disappeared from the world.

Not only did men in black beat people in the capital, but similar situations also occurred in other provinces. In some places, people even lost their lives. For a time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were in danger and did not dare to go out on the streets. I also dare not discuss current affairs and politics for fear of being beaten to death inexplicably.

In addition to the beatings by men in black, many rumors have begun to appear among the people, saying that the emperor favors the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun and harms those who are loyal and righteous. He calls on all ambitious and loyal people to stand up and fight! Then came the assassinations and murders of court officials from various places.

The occurrence of these things directly destabilized the originally stable development of Ming Dynasty. In particular, the advancement of the first five-year plan, such as road construction, state-owned enterprise construction, civil service examinations, and the promotion of new education models, etc., have all been compared. Big impact.

When these news turned into memorials and spread into the capital, after Zhu Biao read these memorials, he immediately felt that things had become serious.

"It's something serious. I should report it to my father immediately!"

Zhu Biao rushed from the East Palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When I arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I found that the door of the hall was closed and Wang Zhong was guarding the door.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Eunuch Wang, I'm here to see my father. Is anyone else in there?" Zhu Biao asked.

"When we return to His Majesty the Crown Prince, His Majesty will naturally be inside, but it's not convenient to see people now." Wang Zhong said with some worry: "If His Majesty the Crown Prince has anything to do, you can tell me first and I will tell you, or please ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to wait a little later. Some coming?"

"No, this matter is urgent. I must see my father now!"

"Wang Zhong, get out of the way!"

Zhu Biao directly opened Wang Zhong's door, pushed the door open and walked in. However, after entering, Zhu Biao immediately stepped back.

Zhu Biao looked a little embarrassed at this moment, "My lord, my father is doing this here, why don't you tell me?"

"Your Highness, I also wanted to say it, but you didn't give me a chance!" Wang Zhong said helplessly.

"Uh" Zhu Biao was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's unhappy voice came from the palace, "Let the prince come in!"

"Yes!"

Wang Zhong pushed open the door of the main hall and said, "Your Highness, please come!"

Then he said softly: "Your Highness, please take care. Your Majesty has been practicing hard for a month or two in order to win against the Queen."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me!"

After saying that, Zhu Biao took a deep breath and then stepped in.

boom!
When Zhu Biao walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the entrance to the hall was locked again.

"My son, Zhu Biao, pays homage to my father!"

Zhu Biao saluted Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the dragon chair, but his head was always lowered and he did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang at all.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little strange. He was not wearing a yellow robe, but put on a weird costume, a top covered with sparkling gems, black trousers, and exaggerated makeup on his face. .

Is this Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang? !

If Zhu Biao was not his biological son, he would never dare to recognize him!
"Father, what are you doing?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but ask.

"Your mother organized a palace square dance competition, and we signed up to participate. In order to securely win the first place, we specially asked Wang Zhong to ask Ouyang Lun if there was any way. This guy sent us this Put on a suit, it’s a square dance uniform! You’ll definitely win if you wear this!”

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "Biao'er, do you think we were deceived by that guy Ouyang Lun again?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and then said: "Father, brother-in-law Ouyang is quite reliable. Since he is willing to give you advice, he must have his reasons. You should trust him!"

"Hey, we think so too. After all, we spent a hundred thousand taels of silver on this!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to mutter: "And after I put on these clothes and costumes, I danced much more easily!"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver" Zhu Biao was a little surprised, "Father, did you really give it to me?"

"That's not the case! Ouyang Lun never does business at a loss. If real money is given to him, he can do this for us!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "But Ouyang Lun also said that he would use these one hundred thousand taels of silver. We can also accept it when it comes to building schools in remote mountainous areas.”

"Biao'er, you must not tell anyone else about this. You must keep it a secret from your father, otherwise your father's reputation will be ruined." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly warned.

"Father, please rest assured. I will definitely not tell anyone when your square dance competition will start. Father, I also want to watch and observe." Zhu Biao said looking forward to it.

"Go, go, take care of the political affairs. These are the retirement life for us and your mother. You are not allowed to come unless you also come to participate." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Ahem, my limbs are uncoordinated. Let's forget about this square dance." Zhu Biao shook his head repeatedly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Biaoer, you came to us suddenly. Did you encounter some difficulty? Or did you tell us something big?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Back to my father, something did happen during this period, which made the situation in Ming Dynasty a little unstable." Zhu Biao replied.

"Hurry up and tell us what happened." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became more solemn.

"Go back to my father, this is what happened." Zhu Biao immediately told everyone about the beating incident of the men in black and the rumored riots in various places.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly darkened.

"Wang Zhong!"

"I'm here." Wang Zhong came in quickly.

"Arrange someone to change my clothes, and call Ji Gang!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"Yes!" After Wang Zhong accepted the order, he immediately went down to prepare.

"Biao'er, please wait for me." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he turned and left.

after awhile.

Zhu Yuanzhang put on his dragon robe, washed off his makeup, and returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. His whole demeanor suddenly changed.

At this moment, Ji Gang hurriedly walked in.

"General Ji Gang paid homage to His Majesty and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The prince just told me that men in black have been beating people in Ming Dynasty recently, and there have been many rumors, and officials have been assassinated. Do you, Jin Yiwei, know about this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the general will know." Ji Gang nodded, and then said: "The Jin Yiwei is already investigating these matters with all its strength!"

"Then what are the results of your investigation? Who is causing trouble behind the scenes! It has caused many decrees in the imperial court to be unable to be implemented!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became a little more gloomy.

puff-

Ji Gang quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, judging from the current investigation of Jin Yiwei, whether it is the beating incident of the man in black or the spreading of rumors, it is all related to Confucianism. Jin Yiwei is still collecting more evidence!"

Snapped--

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and roared: "It's Confucianism again!"

"Are they looking for death?"

"In order to prevent the implementation of the New Deal, they really used all kinds of means!"

"I have given them many opportunities, but they are still so stubborn. Then it is my fault that I am cruel!"
