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

Chapter 486 If I had known this, I would have been nicer to you (Please subscribe!!)
"Father, calm down!"

Zhu Biao said loudly: "Brother-in-law Ouyang has not told anyone about this matter. It is obvious that he does not want others to know!"

"And with Brother-in-law Ouyang's ability, if he could have treated it, he would have definitely done it, but it didn't work. So even if you, Father, called all the imperial doctors, it would be of no use!"

"In this case, the matter of Brother-in-law Ouyang can no longer be concealed. Once the Japanese, Northern Yuan people, and those foreigners know that Brother-in-law Ouyang has passed away, I'm afraid they will all take action. By then, my Ming Dynasty will be in a situation where we will be surrounded by people!"

"The Five-Year Plan and many reforms will also be affected!"

"Father, is this what you want to see?"

Zhu Biao's words gradually calmed Zhu Yuanzhang down, and he did not walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony again.

"Your Majesty, should I still call the imperial physician?" Wang Zhong asked cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "You go down first. The prince and I have something to discuss. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach, let alone come in."

"Yes." Wang Zhong bowed and quickly retreated.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were the only ones left in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Biao'er, what do you think we should do at this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Father, what I mean is that we should do nothing." Zhu Biao said slowly.

"Pretend nothing happened?!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Ouyang Lun was fine on weekdays, why did he suddenly...

"Father, there are clues. Brother-in-law Ouyang likes to lie down and sleep on weekdays. This may be a manifestation. Now I understand that Brother-in-law Ouyang is not lazy at all. He has health problems and has to do this!" Zhu Biao said sadly: "Father, you have always said that Brother-in-law Ouyang is lazy and has no ambition and self-improvement. In fact, he has paid too much for the Ming Dynasty!"

"The fact that he was able to come up with these amazing policies for governing the country may have been gained at the cost of overdrawing his life."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also suddenly realized, and looked a little regretful, "Biao'er, after hearing what you said, I think we have wronged Ouyang Lun in the past!"

"That's right, father, we really wronged brother-in-law Ouyang in the past. He has been working for our Ming Dynasty and now his health is broken. We must never be so harsh on him again." Zhu Biao said.

"Of course!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Biao'er, to tell you the truth, we have no intention of really killing Ouyang Lun. As long as he doesn't rebel, we will spare his life. At most, we will severely punish him. But now it seems that we can avoid such severe punishment. With his bloody body, we can't afford to torment him at all!"

"When he was alive and well, I often wanted to kill him. Now that he is about to die, I feel so reluctant to do so."

"However, we still need to investigate the Guangxi provincial newspaper report and try to clear Ouyang Lun of any connection."

"Yes, Father!"

"Ah, poor Ouyang Lun, if I had known this, I should have been nicer to you."

at the same time.

In the clan house.

Ouyang Lun was eating various delicious fruits and lying leisurely in a rocking chair to bask in the sun.

"No, sir, no, no!"

Zhou Bao rushed in.

Seeing Zhou Bao's panic, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but frown, "Why are you so panicked? Is it me who is dead? Or is it the sky that is falling?"

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"Master, I just got the news that something went wrong with the newspaper. His Majesty is furious and has sent the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Guard to investigate. I heard that you are involved. I suspect that His Majesty is going to take action against you!"

"And this time, His Majesty asked Crown Prince Zhu Biao to personally investigate and keep it extremely confidential. This is definitely a big deal!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun frowned slightly, then regained his composure and said nonchalantly, "Just check it out, what does it have to do with me? It's not important anyway."

Ouyang Lun had no interest in these things at all. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang came directly to arrest him and put him in the Heavenly Prison, he would not be surprised. It was not like he had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison before. It was okay to be arrested as it was a good opportunity for him to have a rest. Ouyang Lun even missed the quietness in the Heavenly Prison.

Moreover, Ouyang Lun knew better than anyone that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had long wanted to catch him, but unfortunately he never had the chance. Now that he finally had a chance, he would definitely try every means to catch him. With the weakness or handle, he could easily control him.

So since Zhu Yuanzhang was determined, there was no point in him trying to stop him. Since Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to investigate, then let him investigate.

Of course, when Zhou Bao heard Ouyang Lun's words, he felt something different.

"None of this matters anymore, right?" Zhou Bao looked at Ouyang Lun with shock and grief.

"What's with that expression, Zhou Baoni? Isn't it just that His Majesty is investigating something? Are you so sad?" Ouyang Lun asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, sir. I will stay with you until the last moment!" Zhou Baolian said firmly.

"Good! You can do it, your awareness has increased! Remember to keep it up!" Ouyang Lun said with satisfaction.

"Master, don't worry about one thing. If you really leave that day, I will take good care of the lady, the young master, and the young lady, and will never let anyone hurt them!"

"That's true, but why is there something wrong with what you said?" Ouyang Lun noticed something strange.

Zhou Bao quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just expressing my feelings."

"Master, you must take good care of yourself!"

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun said angrily: "Master, your health is so good, there is no need to take care of yourself! Get lost!"

"Yes, yes, the master is in the best health!" Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly, then retreated carefully.

But soon, Wang Zhong hurried in and said, "My Lord, His Majesty has summoned ministers to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss important matters. Please be sure to go."

"An emergency meeting? Haha, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll go with you!" Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment. He was a little bored lying down, so he went out for a walk to help digest his food.

Just as Ouyang Lun was about to get up, Wang Zhong hurried forward and carefully supported Ouyang Lun.

"My Lord, be careful. I'll help you!"

Wang Zhong said as he supported Ouyang Lun.

"Eunuch Wang, you don't have to be like this. I won't make things difficult for you today." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

“Your Highness, what are you talking about? You were making things difficult for me before because you respected me. Now I am supporting you because it is from the bottom of my heart.” Wang Zhong helped Ouyang Lun walk forward, “Your Highness, be careful, there are steps ahead!”

"Your Majesty has spoken this time. We won't rush you, Your Majesty, to hurry over. Just go there. We will start the discussion when you arrive. It doesn't matter if you are a little late."

Um! ?

Ouyang Lun was stunned by Wang Zhong's bold move.

"No, the sun is rising from the west?"

"Eunuch Wang, you are not lying to me, are you? This doesn't sound like something my father-in-law, the emperor, would say!" Ouyang Lun said with a confused look on his face, "Or are you planning to trick me? If I'm really late, my father-in-law, the emperor, will skin me alive?" "Relax, your highness. What I just said was really arranged by His Majesty, and it's also my true feelings." Wang Zhong explained.

Forehead.
Seeing Wang Zhong hunched over and carefully supporting himself, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Wang, if you pick me up like this every time, won't you get tired?"

"Not at all. I can't do this many times anyway." Wang Zhong replied immediately.

"Huh? You can't do it many times? What do you mean, Eunuch Wang?" Ouyang Lun asked with a frown.

"My Lord Prince Consort, this is what I mean." Wang Zhong suddenly became a little flustered.

"Eunuch Wang, do you mean to say that my father-in-law, the emperor, has a weird and fickle personality, and will use different methods to deal with me in the future?" Ouyang Lun took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, that's what I mean. However, I am just a servant and dare not discuss His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will keep it a secret for me." Wang Zhong nodded quickly.

"Eunuch Wang, you should have said this earlier. We have been friends for many years. I know very well what to say and what not to say. You know it too, right?" Ouyang Lun put his arm around Wang Zhong's shoulders and said with a smile.

"It's very clear, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep this a secret!" Wang Zhong nodded repeatedly and muttered to himself at the same time. It seemed that the Your Majesty was warning him not to tell anyone that he was dying!

"My Lord, please get on the imperial sedan chair!"

"Huh! Old Zhu spent a lot of money this time! He even gave me his sedan chair to ride on!"

"But you are simply being too attentive to me for no reason. You are either traitors or thieves! I can already imagine that what awaits me in the Hall of Supreme Harmony will be a bloody storm!"

Ouyang Lun said this but he still got on the imperial sedan chair.

"Get started!"

As Wang Zhong spoke loudly.

Ouyang Lun rode the emperor's sedan chair and rushed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wang Zhong deliberately fell behind, looking at the back of Ouyang Lun sitting on the imperial sedan chair, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a good consort, it's a pity that he is gone like this, it's really a huge loss for our Tang Dynasty!"

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Officials kept coming in, and now the hall was already full. The scene was less than that during the morning court session, but these were all high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty above the third rank in the capital!
At this moment, the expressions of all the officials in the hall were quite solemn.

Because this visit to the Hall of Supreme Harmony was urgently summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, and their arrival was also very sudden. With their many years of experience in the court, they were basically certain that what was being discussed today was a big deal!!
More importantly, when they came in, the hall was surrounded by fully armed guards who were on high alert.

These officials couldn't help but feel afraid. If the emperor was angry, millions of people would die!

If the emperor's wrath fell on them, few of them would be able to walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony alive today.

In such a serious and solemn atmosphere, the officials did not dare to talk to each other and could only silently calculate in their hearts.

Just at this moment, Ouyang Lun walked in with a calm expression.

"Wow, there are a lot of acquaintances here today!"

"Old Wu, you have a lot more white hair recently!"

"Minister Shan, why are you so stern? Smile and you will look ten years younger!"

"Old Guo, there are a few new top technicians at Tian Shang Ren Jian. Let's make an appointment to go there when we have time. I'll pay for it!"

"Master Lu, Master Song, don't even blink at me. Even if you two beg me, I won't take you to wash your feet. You are too old. If you die during the foot washing and massage, I will be in trouble."

Ouyang Lun smiled and greeted every acquaintance.

"Everyone, don't be so serious. This is not a morning court session."

"Prince Consort Ouyang, please keep quiet! This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony!" Li Shanchang said in a deep voice.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Li?" Ouyang Lun walked to Li Shanchang with a smile, "Your Majesty asked me to come here to discuss something, but he didn't say that I can't speak!"

"Uh..." Li Shanchang had an ugly look on his face and turned his head away, unwilling to talk to Ouyang Lun anymore. He had received some news. Let you, Ouyang Lun, be arrogant now, you will be in trouble later. Let's see if you can still be arrogant then.

"Prince Consort Ouyang is indeed unruly. No wonder his subordinates are also unruly! They really should reflect on this!" An unfriendly voice sounded.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun looked in the direction where the voice came from, "Oh, it turns out to be the Duke of Liang!"

"Do I need you to judge whether my men follow the rules or not? Who do you think you are? A guy who was beaten up by Beiyuan people has no right to talk to me."

Ouyang Lun's words were merciless.

Duke of Liang Lan Yu was so angry that his three corpses jumped up and down. If it weren't for the other Huaixi Party generals holding him back, Lan Yu would have rushed up and fought Ouyang Lun to the death.

"Duke Liang, don't be impulsive. Some people are arrogant now, but they will probably cry ugly later!"

Li Shanchang said in a deep voice.

It is obvious who this is directed at.

The quarrel between Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang and Lan Yu made the already tense and solemn atmosphere in the hall even more tense and solemn.

The officials in the hall couldn't help but think about a question at this moment.

His Majesty the Emperor summoned so many people, and what Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others said just now made people guess.

It seems that today's call is to argue against——

Swish--

Many people turned their eyes to Ouyang Lun. Whether it was true or not, they would have to wait for the Emperor to come to find out.

Ouyang Lun was quite calm at this moment, and was still chatting with other officials around him in a nonchalant manner. Ouyang Lun's calmness eased the tense atmosphere at the scene a little.

"His Majesty is here!"

As the voice rang out, everyone's bodies instantly straightened and their faces became increasingly serious.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"My dear ministers, please excuse me!"

There was no emotion in Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, but there was a hint of irresistible majesty in his calmness, which made the officials even more certain that today's events were not simple.

Gulong——

Some officials with weaker psychological endurance actually began to swallow their saliva.

An enraged Zhu Yuanzhang is scary, but an unknown Zhu Yuanzhang is even scarier! !
