Chapter 391 Zhu Yuanzhang: Make King Zhu Di of Yan the crown prince!
Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping County Magistrate Text Volume Chapter 391 Zhu Yuanzhang: Make King Zhu Di of Yan the crown prince! Zhu Di explained with a solemn face: "I informed my father that my sons forged weapons and armor after they attacked Goryeo.
Construction just started.
As for gunpowder bombs, they belong to the military. How dare you make them privately!
What these two ministers said is pure fabrication!..."
"How dare King Yan dare to deceive like this in front of His Majesty?"
Lian Zining and Jing Qing were immediately furious and scolded Zhu Di.
"Presumptuous!"
Zhu Di said angrily: "We are the prince of Ming Dynasty and the leader of all of you. Why do you speak to us in such a tone?
Who gave you the courage to rebuke me like this?
As a censor of the Ming Dynasty, why do you no longer understand the importance of superiority and inferiority?
Or do you think that with the instructions of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, you can send dead soldiers to assassinate me, so you can attack me so wantonly?"
"What?"
"Nonsense!"
As soon as Zhu Di's words came out, the expressions of all the ministers in the court suddenly changed.
I can no longer think about the matter of King Yan forging weapons and armor privately!
The emperor's grandson instructed a group of courtiers to send dead soldiers to assassinate King Yan?
Zhu Yunwen's face turned pale and he was full of fear.
As for the imperial censors Lian Zining and Jing Qing, as well as She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang and other officials, panic flashed in their eyes and their legs felt a little weak.
However, each of them has even more cruel eyes.
"Why does His Highness Prince Yan slander us like this?"
"Exactly, how could His Highness Prince Yan slander the emperor's grandson like this? How could the emperor's grandson do such a thing if he is extremely filial, benevolent and kind?"
"We are all good officials, and the total number of servants in our house is less than twenty. How can we die?"
"His Royal Highness King Yan, for the sake of his position as Crown Prince, actually slandered us and His Highness the Crown Prince, which is really chilling!"
"Your Majesty, the humble minister impeached His Highness King Yan, in order to covet the throne of the Crown Prince, actually..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, She Zhongguang, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Yang Yuanchang, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, could no longer hold it in and stood up quickly, starting to play with excitement on their faces.
"Okay!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked impatient and stared coldly at the courtiers below.
Especially Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang and others said coldly: "Although we are old, we are not blind or deaf yet.
A group of traitors actually dare to send dead soldiers to Beiping Mansion to assassinate King Yan. Do you really think we don't know this?"
"Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang, Chu Yigao, Wu Kuang..."
Every time Zhu Yuanzhang named an official, the corresponding official turned pale and full of despair.
"We admire your talents and ask you to assist the emperor's grandson? In the end, this is how you assisted?
He instigated the emperor's grandson to persecute and suppress the King of Yan, and finally even sent death soldiers to assassinate the King of Yan.
Do you know whether King Yan Zhu Di is our legitimate son, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, or the biological fourth uncle of the great grandson Zhu Yunwen?"
Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang, Yang Yuanchang and other officials all knelt on the ground in an instant, kowtowing uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty is aware that Wei Chen and others would never dare to do this!"
"Yes, Your Majesty clearly knows that this matter must be a conspiracy set by King Yan!"
"Your Majesty, King Yan's ambition is clear and everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows it. However, the emperor's grandson is kind and filial. This matter must be a conspiracy set up by King Yan to ruin the reputation of the emperor's grandson!"
"..."
"Hmph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but have a cold expression on his face and smiled angrily.
"Everyone of you is really shameless. You have waited until this and still want to deny it. Could it be that you think we have no evidence?"
Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others suddenly felt a chill in their hearts and couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Do you think you sent your family members and children away secretly in advance without us knowing about it?"
"Why are you so stupid? Do you dare to send people to kill our legitimate son and our descendants?
Why do you think that your family members and descendants can escape?"
"Your Majesty, the minister and others have been wronged!"
Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others are still holding on, with a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
"Unjustly accused?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said, "Are you saying that we are dim-sighted, a foolish king, and have wronged a good minister?"
Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly, "It seems that you think we are deceiving you!
Forget it, we will send you and others together to apologize to our Biaoer in a moment!"
Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others' hearts jumped and they cried quickly.
"Your Majesty, the minister and others have been wronged!"
"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister..."
"Hmph! Don't worry, you and others, if we instigate the crown prince, assassinate the Prince of Ming Dynasty, frame the Prince of Ming Dynasty, and cause our royal family to fight against each other, we will definitely cut you to death with a thousand swords!"
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others, but looked at the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.
"Great Sun, can you admit the sins we mentioned?"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhu Yunwen blankly.
Especially Lian Zining, Jing Qing, She Zhongguang and others, their faces were full of begging.
"As the grandson of the Ming Emperor, why don't you say anything?"
With a 'pop' sound, Zhu Yunwen knelt directly in front of the hall.
"I would like to report to the Emperor that this matter was caused by my grandson being blinded by greed and instructing them to do what he did. Please just ask the Emperor to punish his grandson and do not implicate innocent people!"
"Innocent?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "These traitors are innocent? As ministers, they should assist the king with all their heart. What they did is the responsibility of the ministers?
Humph, they are just a bunch of rebellious officials and traitors!"
"Also, why in your eyes, their family is innocent, but your fourth uncle's family is not innocent?"
"Zhu Yunwen, do you know what a sin it is to send dead soldiers to assassinate your fourth uncle's family?"
