Fei Ju took a deep breath and asked: "Where are the transported materials? Can they be recovered? If they can be returned to Zhao intact, thanks to your and my merits, the blame will be just a slap in the face."
Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said, "It's too late. It's the time when the weather gets cold. Cotton clothes, quilts, and charcoal are all hot commodities in the north. They've all been sold out now."
Seeing what Fei Ju was about to say, Zhu Liangzu interrupted him angrily and said, "It's just a small gadget. The salary from the imperial court is only that small. If we don't let us figure out our own solution, we will starve to death long ago.
"
Fei Ju closed his eyes and said, "Do you think His Highness will not punish you and me severely?"
Zhu Liangzu frowned. Although Fei Ju was a little indecisive, he was not afraid of trouble. Why was he so worried now? Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't show mercy at all?
It shouldn't be, and no one will freeze to death and starve to death because of this. Just turn the big thing into a trivial matter and turn it into nothing. The worst is a reprimand and a few slaps. Why are you kneeling in the snow now without even seeing each other?
.
The more Zhu Liangzu thought about it, the angrier he became. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and fought bloody battles. He first conquered Chen Youliang, then conquered Nanchang and Jiujiang, and participated in the Battle of Poyang Lake. In the 27th year of Zhengzheng, he led tens of thousands of troops to attack Fang Guozhen and conquered Tiantai and Taizhou.
Fang Guoying, Fang Guozhen's younger brother, was defeated and fled. He pursued to Huangyan, surrendered the guard general Ha'erlu, and captured Xianju and other counties.
In the first year of Hongwu, he followed Liao Yongzhong to attack Guangdong by sea, and recruited the Guangdong warlord He Zhen to surrender. He then marched into Guangxi, conquered Wuzhou, killed Puxian Timur, the minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and pacified Yulin, Xunxian, Guixian and other places. Soon
, Zhu Liangzu joined forces with Pingzhang Yang Jing to conquer Jingjiang, and together with Liao Yongzhong, captured Nanning and Xiangzhou, and finally pacified the entire territory of Guangxi.
This endless bloody battle has made great contributions to the establishment of the Zhu family and the title of emperor, but now they have to humiliate him because of this trivial matter? After Emperor Zhu reigns in the world, these old brothers will not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth.
?
Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, didn't say anything more. He had already felt the emotions of Marquis Yongjia. This idiot had been away from the capital for too long. He didn't know that the righteous and handsome commander had become the real emperor. These arrogant soldiers were fierce.
The quilt is a thorn in the flesh, and I am worried that I have no chance to clean it up.
Quan Xu returned to the house and walked up to Zhu Biao to report. Zhu Biao frowned in disgust when he heard that Zhu Liangzu dared to be dissatisfied. This bitch did something wrong and didn't want to bow his head. He really had no brains.
However, this is also the norm among nobles. Most of them only remember their hard work and merits. They feel that Emperor Zhu is sitting all over the world, and it is nothing for them to get some help from them.
But the emperor has long given titles and official positions according to their merits, which means that you have been rewarded for your achievements, but now you are still unsatisfied with corruption. In the end, it is just greed that is the cause of the problem and a lack of people's hearts.
Just like Zhu Liangzu was awarded the title of Assistant to the Founding of the People's Republic of China, a military minister of Xuanli, a high-ranking official, a pillar of the country, the title of Yongjiahou, a salary of 1,500 dan, and the inheritance of his descendants. These are completely enough for his family, but
Nowadays, they are still stealing food from the people.
However, how to deal with the two marquises now depends on the documents sent by the court. Pingliang Marquis Fei Ju is easy to say, after all, he is now under Zhu Biao's command, and no one will gossip if the treatment is more serious.
However, Yongjiahou's crime has not yet been confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, and he himself is the general of the Xuzhou garrison directly subordinate to the emperor. Zhu Biao can reprimand and beat him, but if he wants to be convicted and severely punished, he has to go through the court.
Zhu Biao will not easily break the rules because of his own emotions. His every move will affect many people and things. If he takes the lead in ignoring the law, then other princes will follow suit, and even his prince will not be able to do so in the future.
Do you want to punish your nobles arbitrarily with his consent?
So Zhu Biao is now letting them suffer. How to deal with it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. He is just worried about whether his father will be given a lighter sentence. Lao Zhu is still in a relatively tolerant stage towards the nobles.
.
On the one hand, it was because the world was not yet completely at peace, and there would still be wars to be fought sooner or later in the western regions of Bashu, Yunnan, and the northern grasslands. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to scare the snake. His plan was to gather the nobles to Hu Weiyong's side and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
In addition, Zhu Liangzu was always highly appreciated and valued by Zhu Yuanzhang because of his bravery, prowess in battle, and outstanding achievements. He even regarded him as Yuchi Gong of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Liangzu was originally a marshal of the Yuan Dynasty rebels, but was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1356. Zhu Yuanzhang liked Zhu Liangzu's bravery and prowess in battle and liked him very much. After a scene of loosening his bonds with his own hands, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Liangzu to continue to serve in his original position.
However, Zhu Liangzu was a half-hearted person. He only worked under Zhu Yuanzhang for a few months before returning to the embrace of the Yuan Dynasty and defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's army several times.
In 1357, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Xu Da to lead an army to besiege the Ning State occupied by Zhu Liangzu. Zhu Liangzu fought desperately to break out of the siege with extraordinary bravery and wounded Chang Yuchun.
Kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang for the second time, Zhu Liangzu said solemnly: "When you are alive, you will do your best, and when you die, you will die!" Zhu Yuanzhang released him again and reused him, regardless of the previous suspicion.
In the future, Zhu Liangzu did live up to this kindness and made outstanding achievements in bloody battles. It was a pity that this eldest brother did not end well in the end. Zhu Biao can remember him because he was a very distinctive hero even in the Hongwu Dynasty.
Expensive.
While he was guarding Guangdong, he colluded with the local powerful, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to unjustly kill Panyu County Magistrate Daotong. He was eventually recalled to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang did not talk nonsense to him, gave full play to his own spirit, and whipped Zhu Liangzu.
When the guards saw the emperor personally going into battle, their morale was greatly boosted. After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's acquiescence, they all started to take action. Zhu Liangzu and his son Zhu Xian were whipped to death.
But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still believed that he had meritorious service in the end, still ordered him to be buried with Hou etiquette, and even wrote a memorial for him personally, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang really liked this general who surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Biao sighed and sent another memorial to the court. An hour later, Quan Xu called in Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, while Marquis Yongjia continued to kneel outside.
The nobles are different from those minor civil servants. Even Zhu Biao cannot let them freeze to death outside. This will easily arouse the grief of other nobles. Moreover, based on their achievements, they must have dignity no matter what.
After a while, Fei Ju, the Marquis of Pingliang, walked into the house and knelt down towards Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao glanced at him and said nothing. Fei Ju slowly raised his head and said, "Please calm down, your highness. The general will be convicted."
Zhu Shou said calmly: "I am not the one who was robbed of cotton clothes and charcoal. Why should I be so angry? I am curious. The Marquis of Pingliang has a salary of 1,500 shi. Is it possible that the family can't stir up trouble?"
Fei Julian shuddered several times and said: "The general is greedy and has been seduced by Marquis Yongjia into committing wrongdoings. Please punish him severely. The general will never complain."
