Chapter 184: Returning the Cloth Strips, Recognizing Relatives with Blood (seeking a wave of monthly tickets)(1/4)
The name of grandfather or grandfather is more in the Ming Dynasty today than the official title.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang himself, everyone in the palace is a father and grandfather, which is a more folk name...
Father and grandfather are generally the common name of traditional literati.
Zhu Yunwen's grandfather also represents his attitude towards this grandfather.
Seeing his grandfather, Zhu Yunwen's face was not very good, but he still bowed to Lu's father according to his habits and said, "Grandfather."
"Yun Wen is back, so I'll go first."
Lu's father smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had a bad impression of his grandson Zhu Yunwen, so he hurriedly left.
After Lu's father left, Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "Mom, why did you ask him to come here?"
In front of his mother, Zhu Yunwen stopped calling his grandfather and talked about him directly.
"He is my father and your grandfather. No matter what he used to be, he has been reformed now, and you don't have to be too so." Lu said lightly.
Earlier, the family of Lu was also considered a scholarly family. When his grandfather was still there, there was no trouble at home.
The main reason why Mrs. Lu was able to become the crown princess was to her deceased grandfather.
However, after my grandfather passed away, Lu's father became more and more arrogant and became addicted to gambling, and his family lost completely.
It was still useless to dissuade him many times. During that time, Lu was crying.
After Zhu Biao learned about it, he also went to dissuade him. When Lu's father faced Zhu Biao, he of course agreed to not go to the casino again, but his true colors were revealed in just three days.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang took action and contacted Lu's father and directly sent people to wipe out the casino that had owed gambling debts.
He also passed on an oral order, and if any casino dared to receive Lu's father, he would be executed directly.
That's it. Lu's father had no place to bet, and even his friends did not dare to gamble with him, so he slowly quit his gambling addiction.
It is already a great favor to be able to obtain the position of head of the Ministry of Rites, who is currently the sixth rank.
Zhu Yunwen had no intention of talking about his grandfather. When he entered the back hall, he hurriedly told the Lü family about the news he had just heard from the emperor's grandfather.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she sighed slightly and said, "Although there are some speculations, it seems that your elder brother probably has adhered to the talent of your emperor grandfather in many aspects."
For Zhu Yunwen, the news revealed in Zhu Yuanzhang's words only shocked him.
However, in the analysis of Lu's decoupling, the connotation was quickly understood and the current situation of Zhu Ying was even introduced.
The more this happens, the more tired Lu feels.
Zhu Xiongying has now begun to contact military power. His Majesty obviously wants him to control the army first and take the lead. At that time, all rumors will be as ridiculous as an egg hits a stone.
"Mom, what should I do?" Zhu Yunwen asked with some melancholy.
On the road from Huagai Palace to Chunhe Palace, he has been thinking about this question. The more he thinks, the more he feels that he has no hope.
Although the emperor did not explicitly say that he would remove his grandson position, Zhu Yunwen could understand clearly even if he was stupid.
"No, when Yun Yu and Mingyue come back, you will have a better chat with them and go to see your elder brother first. As for the rest, let's not mention it." Lu said slowly.
He did not tell his son what he told his father, nor did he talk about Zhu Xiongying's congenital heart disease.
She knew the most about her son’s virtue. Telling him these things would be like giving him great hope. At that time, the son would inevitably shift the focus to the authenticity of Zhu Xiongying’s identity.
This kind of behavior is meaningless. According to the current situation, even the Lü family would only listen and use Concubine Ning's hand to pass on these possible doubts to His Majesty.
It is no different to the stupidest behavior to directly confront Your Majesty.
The only one who can say a few words to His Majesty in the entire harem was Ning Concubine.
.....
Laian County belongs to the southern Zhili area and borders the northwest of Nanjing. It is the closest county in the capital and an important gateway to the north of Nanjing.
At present, it is also a key implementation point for labor-for-relief.
Today, dozens of Jinyiwei will be surrounded by Anxian County Government in the future, and many police officers will be trembling with fear.
In front of the Jinyiwei, they could not have the intention to resist.
The Jinyiwei Qianhu led several people directly in.
The magistrate who received the news came out immediately and frowned and said in a deep voice: "My sir, I don't know what happened to come to this county government office."
Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, sneered: "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. The Jinyiwei is naturally responsible for doing things. The evidence is conclusive. After all, is it because I personally brought shackles to you, or do you go with me by yourself?"
The magistrate's face was gloomy and scolded: "I am an official appointed by the court. I am from the sixth rank of the magistrate of the county. If you think that the official is guilty, you should issue a notice through the Ministry of Justice to remove the black sand on your head."
"I just come to my house, don't be a official and I can't bully you."
Speaking of this, the magistrate warned coldly: "I can be the magistrate of Shangxian County in Laian County. There are people in the court. If you are doing things privately, don't regret it."
The magistrate not only did not have any fear of the Jinyiwei, but instead began to threaten and intimidate.
However, he himself has this qualification. As the adopted son of Liang Duke Lan Yu and the backbone of Huaixi Xungui Group, he would not be able to hide any trouble from him.
Even in the Ministry of Justice, he had a few robes. If something really happened, someone would inevitably inform him.
Only Jinyiwei, who is notorious, can do it directly.
Looking at the dozen Jinyiwei around, the magistrate had already planned in his mind how to escape first and then summon people to fight back.
The constable must not be able to count on it, but he still has some of his former subordinates who followed him.
Even dozens of Jinyiwei are not without the power of a battle.
Seeing the magistrate looking around and his eyes flashed, how could the Jinyiwei Qianhu not understand his thoughts?
He snorted coldly and said to his subordinates: "I really don't cry until I see the coffin. Please come here."
The three words "Duke of Liang" were like a thunderbolt, bombarding the magistrate's forehead and instantly became dull.
Duke Liang followed him, what did this mean? His heart suddenly became clear, and his expression, which was full of confidence, suddenly became frightened and uneasy.
I was still thinking in my heart that maybe it was because I obeyed or maybe it was because the Jinyiwei was scaring him.
But the Jinyiwei who received the order came back soon after going out. The magistrate brought the man with him at first glance and was so scared that he was so scared that he was both heartbroken.
"Entertainment Father." Without any hesitation, the magistrate knelt on one knee, and saluted Lan Yu as if he was in the army.
Seeing this, Lan Yu wanted to scold him severely, but when he thought of the ending of his adopted son, he could only sigh and said, "Go with the Jinyiwei, even if you dare to interfere with the work-for-relief, I can't save you."
"I have already pleaded with you. The blame for this matter is on you. Your wife and children are still safe. Return all the money you have greedy and have a safe start."
When the magistrate heard this, he looked unbelievable. He had been born and died for Lan Yu.
"Entertainment father, save me, I will never dare to do it again. Save me and give me another chance. I don't want an official position anymore. I just want a way out, even if it's demoted to a commoner."
"No, exile, the adoptive father helped me again because of his past love. He only hoped to have a way out, even if it was exile, he would be exiled. The adoptive father begs you."
The magistrate did not have the slightest desire to resist. Even Lan Yu came, and he immediately realized that everything was irreversible.
Now I don’t want anything else, I just want to save my life.
Lan Yu shook her head slightly and said, "It's useless, don't be like these little daughters. Being able to protect your wife and children is the greatest level that I can do."
"It's just a little bit that you shouldn't have taken action on this. This matter is too much and no one can save it."
"You have made many contributions before. I know that you are already the magistrate of the county. Your past contribution has been used up and you cannot offset this time."
Hearing his adoptive father's words, the magistrate suddenly felt as if he was ashamed. At this moment, he had realized it.
He did not beg for mercy again because he knew that when his adoptive father arrived here himself, it showed that the seriousness of the matter was beyond his imagination.
He did not argue or call it wrong, just as Lan Yu said, don’t act like that little daughter before he dies.
Only to die generously.
He turned around and walked back to the lobby, took off the black gauze above his head and put it down, then stretched out his hands to Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, and then the two Jinyiwei came over and brought shackles for him.
Seeing his brave command falling into such a field, Lan Yu felt extremely uncomfortable, but he could realize more of a problem.
His Highness Changsun is different from His Majesty. Apart from being a relative of the outside world, he has no interaction with His Highness Changsun. When he was in the study, Lan Yu also wanted to say something to save his life.
However, after thinking for a long time, I found that I had nowhere to say to His Highness Changsun.
If it were Your Majesty, I could still say that I was fighting for him on the battlefield, hoping to leave some mercy, but these mean nothing to His Highness Changsun.
He didn't know these subordinates, nor did he know their past, nor did he even know some of his friendships at that time.
In the eyes of His Highness Changsun, his adopted son was a corrupt official, not a soldier who had fought for the Ming Dynasty.
It was because of knowing this that Lan Yu came here to accompany the Jinyiwei.
However, what the magistrate said to the Jinyiwei is not without reason. Theoretically, the Jinyiwei needs to arrest the magistrate by the Ministry of Justice, or the oral decree of His Majesty, etc.
Zhu Ying does not have a formal official identity yet, so the memorials he handles do not comply with the legal procedures of the Ming Dynasty.
But are these important?
"Duke Liang, do you still have two people to accompany you?" Qianhu, the Jinyiwei, asked Lan Yu after watching the magistrate being taken out.
There are three people who need to be arrested today, basically all of them are officials from the county town, and all of them have close ties with Lan Yu.
The reason why Jinyiwei Qianhu asked this question was because Duke Liang and His Highness Changsun had a relative relationship and should not be treated equally.
"No, you guys go, I just come and have a look." Lan Yu said lightly.
