Chapter 498 The minister is blocking for His Majesty!
Chapter 498 I will block it for Your Majesty!
The case of Shuangyu Tongwa is also a case that the emperor is paying close attention to. After the trial of the Fifth Military Governor's Office, it should be reported to the emperor, and then the emperor will make the final announcement. We are still working hard on judicial independence. In the era of imperial power, this is normal
.
But Xu Hu's appearance probably couldn't be delayed for that long. At this time, Zhu Gaochi stood up and decided on the spot to release Xu Hu for proper treatment. He would be responsible for the emperor's side, so Xu Hu was immediately released and invited
The famous doctor from the capital went to treat him. Zhu Gaochi looked weak, but in fact he was hiding a needle. If he didn't take care of him at this time, he really wasn't a person worth helping.
Afterwards, Xia Xun rushed back to the palace with the two princes Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zheng He.
Is the battle over?
No! The end of this battle is just the beginning of another battle. Xia Xun also wanted to express condolences to Xu Hu's injury, but he couldn't get away now. Clearing the names of Xu Hu and others was only a success in self-protection.
Counterattack, he is the leader.
In Jinshen Hall, Qiu Fu had already arrived one step ahead.
Qiu Fu fell to the ground without his crown, and with his gray hair, he kowtowed repeatedly and said in agony: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I was shocked to hear the truth, and it was like five thunderbolts struck my head! I never expected that Luo Yu and others were afraid of military discipline, and in order to shirk responsibility, they framed their colleagues,
He did such a big thing that caused a stir in the government and the public. The old minister was not strict with his subordinates, and he was deceived by him, which risked causing an eternal injustice!"
He knelt and climbed a few steps, fell in front of Zhu Di, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, I have followed the Emperor for many years. I never thought that I would be deceived by such a villain when I am old and confused."
I am not willing to give in! I ask the emperor to grant an imperial edict. I want to go to eastern Zhejiang in person to bring this scum of the army who has committed treason and conspiracy to military law, and then return to the capital to accept the emperor's punishment. Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di said with a gloomy face: "Luo Yu and others framed their colleagues to avoid responsibility for the failure of the bandit suppression. You...really don't know anything about it?"
"I don't know, I really don't know!"
Qiu Fu said: "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with water warfare, and I underestimated the fighting power of Japanese pirates. After the failure of the previous battle, I was scolded by the emperor. I was extremely frightened. After I returned, I immediately summoned generals who were good at water warfare and familiar with Japanese pirates to fight again.
After formulating a strategy to suppress the bandits, the guards in eastern Zhejiang went all out to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese pirates. It was also the old minister who was eager to restore the decline and to please the emperor. He issued an order to the left and an order to the right. The force was a little too hasty, but it was absolutely impossible.
Thinking that Luo Yu had no way to deal with the Japanese pirates, he went crazy and falsely accused one of his own people to do business!"
Qiu Fu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, these official correspondences are archived in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check!"
Zhu Di's eyes flickered slightly and he did not answer immediately. At this time, Mu En reported at the door of the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, Duke Fu and Eunuch Zheng have arrived."
"pass!"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he glanced at Qiu Fu again and scolded: "Waiting in the side hall!"
"Yes, yes, I obey the order!" Qiu Fu quickly kowtowed, got up and hurriedly retreated.
Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Yang Xu and Zheng He arrived in front of the emperor. Zheng He recounted the proceedings of today's trial to Zhu Di. When Zheng He finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu, who could no longer hold himself back, rushed forward and said angrily: "Father, the emperor
! I really didn’t expect that the Eastern Zhejiang Navy would take advantage of the courage of a bear and commit such a scandal that corrupted the imperial court. These bastards should all be killed!
Father, my Ming army has never had any scandals involving framed colleagues and taking credit for rewards. I believe that father should deal with this matter severely and not spare anyone involved! If the law is like thunder, the court will be fair! Even so.
This is the Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, who has been presiding over the war in eastern Zhejiang. If something like this happened, he cannot escape the blame, and he should be severely punished this time!"
Zhu Di glanced at him, then at Zhu Gaochi, and asked: "Gaochi, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly leaned over and said respectfully: "Father, I think that the truth of the Shuangyu Tong Japanese case has been revealed, and that the Shuangyu guards were indeed wronged. In this case, someone must have colluded to frame the case. Luo Yu and Ji Wenhe
I'm afraid it's hard to escape the blame. However, this case involves many things. If it were just these two people, they might not be able to accomplish such a big thing. There must be someone among the coastal guards who colluded with them, so there is no rush.
General Luo Yu, Ji Wenhe Zhengfa, should appoint a commissioner to try the case, clean up the scum in the army involved in the case, and give our army soldiers a peaceful world. As for the second brother's suggestion, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, should also be severely punished.
I don’t agree very much.”
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Oh? You don't agree?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Yes, I think that the Japanese pirates are running rampant in the East China Sea and causing serious disasters. General Qiu is still old and can still take the initiative to ask for war. This is because he is loyal to his father! The war in eastern Zhejiang is not going well. General Qiu
Although they had the responsibility of command, Luo Yu, Ji Wenhe and others could not win the war against the Japanese, so they went crazy and framed their colleagues. Did General Qiu know about this?
According to Erchen, General Qiu has made outstanding achievements in arresting the officials, but he may not know about it. If the investigation results show that General Qiu was indeed deceived, then his father will punish him for not being strict with his subordinates and not understanding people well.
That's a fair statement. However, it would be unfair to hastily punish Old General Qiu for framing a colleague's case of treason with the Japanese.
When the news spread, those who didn't know what was going on thought that the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the army, was also involved in this case. In order to shirk responsibility, he slandered his subordinates and accused the army of being bandits. This will definitely be detrimental to the morale of our army.
, In future battles, all the officers and men in the army will only seek to do no wrong and only seek to protect themselves. Who will dare to move forward bravely and fight to kill the enemy first? Therefore, I think it is inappropriate!"
Zhu Di had no expression on his face after hearing this. When he turned around, a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.
He hates his eldest son, and this is also a reason.
He doesn't say what he wants to say directly, but always twists and turns, and speaks in a high-sounding way. In fact, it is still for that purpose. He wants to chase after him, but he still behaves coyly. He doesn't like this kind of vulture's character. He still likes the two.
There are more sons, and Gao Xu's character is more like him. He dares to speak out, dare to do things, and has courage. But the eldest son... has learned a lot from scholars.
Humph! I watched you grow up, others don’t understand you, I don’t know yet!”
"But this second son..."
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, who was acting indignant. Judging from the situation he had already grasped, he dared to conclude that even if Qiu Fu and his second son Zhu Gaoxu didn't know about it in advance, they must have contributed to it afterwards, at least.
Yang Xu is implicated, they must be the masterminds behind the scenes. Luo Yu and others can frame Shuangyu Guards in order to shirk the crime of ineffectiveness in the war, but there is no need or possibility for people at their level to interfere with Yang Xu
people at this level.
But this matter was already vague, and he really couldn't pursue it any further, at least... he couldn't pursue it openly.
The two princes are fighting each other, and the prince is also involved. Isn't it interesting? At the beginning of the new dynasty, the old ministers who had surrendered were accustomed to following the wind. The basis of his governance was still the Jingnan meritorious system. Zhu Di didn't know
There is a dark hand behind the scenes, but he knows very well that his foundation is still relying on the Jingnan heroes, and it will take time for the old Jianwen ministers to become naturalized.
The main heroes of Jingnan were military generals. There were only three marshal-level figures among the generals. Zhang Yu had died in the battle, and only Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu were left. To cut off Qiu Fu at this time would be to cut off one's own arm. What's more,
There is also his second son involved here. Once traced to the level of Qiu Fu, the people on Gao Chi's side will never let go of the opportunity, and then Gao Xu will be implicated.
Although he is now very disappointed with the second child, he dislikes the eldest son even more. The prince he pays attention to is still Zhu Gaoxu.
To check or not to check?
Do you want to get to the bottom of it?
If Qiu Fu is really one of the masterminds behind the frame-up of Shuangyu Guards, Qiu Fu is no better than Yang Xu. Yang Xu’s power in the court is very weak, but Qiu Fu is a tree with deep roots. Over the years, I don’t know how many of them he has brought out
The subordinates and confidants of that faction are now the generals who guard one side.
It doesn't matter if Qiu Fu falls. The problem is that when he becomes the second son's most powerful supporter, the elder son's group will definitely spare no effort to suppress the connections left by Qiu Fu, and these people are all the people who contributed to the Jingnan incident.
, on the contrary, the people from the eldest son's faction were almost all Jianwen's old ministers. The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more uneasy he became. Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen had not been found yet. If someone really used his power to fight for the right to succeed him, and used his power to defeat him, Zhu Yunwen would suddenly appear again.
When I came out, at that time...
Zhu Di still has illusions about his second son Zhu Gaoxu, whom he has always loved. Zhu Gaoxu is physically strong and has great achievements. He made great achievements during the Jingnan period. Among the three sons, he is the only one who has a very high reputation among the Jingnan heroes.
He is the most suitable as the crown prince. This not only fulfills his wishes, but also keeps the team of Jingnan heroes stable. On the contrary...
Zhu Di sighed deeply. What he was thinking about now was not the corruption case itself. He was thinking from the perspective of a ruler, from the perspective of establishing a prince and the stability of the government. But if Qiu Fu and others really
He was involved in an incident that framed his subordinates. With his character, how could he tolerate such a deception that was close to betrayal?
Zhu Di struggled in his heart for a long time. Fang slowly exhaled a breath and ordered: "I know, you all should go back. It's been a busy day and you can take a break! Yang Xu, you stay!"
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were both stunned. Although they were surprised, they did not dare to ask any more questions. They had to agree and bowed out. Zheng He also quietly retreated with the two princes, leaving only Zhu Di and Yang in the palace.
The two of them are Xu.
Zhu Di looked up at the caisson on the roof of the palace in a daze for a long time, and then said slowly: "Yang Xu, how should you investigate this case?"
His words came out of the blue, with no preface and no follow-up, but Xia Xun understood what he meant, so he said resolutely: "Check, check to the end!"
Zhu Di withdrew his gaze, slowly turned around, looked at him, and said word for word: "You think that I don't like grudges, so I will kill all the bastards to bring peace to the world? I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when I'm not a family member.
Yeah, if you were me, you would know that there are too many things to worry about up and down, left and right, even the emperor is no exception. Check? If a big hole is found, who will block it for me?"
Xia Xun replied loudly: "Check, check to the end! If a hole is dug, I will seal it for your majesty!"
p: I thought I could take a break in the past two days, but I didn’t expect that there are still many things going on. Today I went to celebrate my mother’s birthday. I coded a chapter overnight yesterday, and when I came back in the afternoon, I hurriedly coded another chapter.
Tomorrow has nothing to do, but the day after tomorrow...the day after tomorrow...the day after tomorrow I have to get a train ticket again, and squat there all day in the cold and hungry. So tomorrow I have to code out the update for the day after tomorrow, which is hard~~
