The hall was as warm as spring, but in an instant, Lan Yu felt a whistling wind on the back of her neck.
Moreover, it was the cold wind emanating from the blade that chilled him to his bones, causing Bai Zhan to feel heart palpitations for the rest of his life.
Lan Yu's hands trembled a little as she looked at the document that was full of his crimes, such as slandering the emperor's strategic vision in private, forming cliques in the army, and making many military expenditures by himself, enriching his own pockets. The promotion of military lieutenant generals depends entirely on
He votes by himself, and he makes a big speech. There are countless kinds of these.
These are all true, and except for the first slander against the emperor, he has not covered up the rest at all. Can you still be considered a warrior if you are not domineering and unruly? If the Ming Dynasty did this, he Lan Yu was not the first, nor the first.
Won't be the last.
However, just because you can say what you can do in private does not mean that it is right, nor does it mean that the emperor does not care. Among these, the one that makes Lan Yu's heart palpitate the most is the first one, which is slandering the emperor's strategic and military vision behind his back.
You were obviously just talking to your close confidants, why did it get spread?
Lan Yu was frightened. Sometimes he would drink a little bit and talk nonsense. In addition, he had made a lot of achievements over the years, and gradually he didn't take anyone seriously. The higher his status, the more he wanted to show off his talents.
Be different and want to show off your abilities.
But this does not mean that he is not afraid of anything at all. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like daggers, and Lan Yu, who had never been afraid in his life, suddenly remembered how to write the word "fear".
Li Jinglong? Lan Yu cursed in her heart, I'll fuck your grandma!
Cold sweat was streaming down his forehead and neck. Li Jinglong was standing behind Lan Yu, but he didn't even have the courage or strength to look back.
Now is not the time to scold him, now is the time to pass the test. If you pass this test, your mother Li Jinglong, I will fuck you up!
Lan Yu was thinking in confusion, what to do now? How to make the emperor's anger go away!
Immediately, his eyes couldn't help but look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was sitting next to the old prince.
The latter frowned and stared at him with a distressed expression.
However, after feeling his gaze, the emperor's grandson nodded imperceptibly, his eyes full of warning.
Hey!
In the silent hall, there was another roar.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious on the dragon throne, "What the hell are you thinking about? What kind of dumplings do you want to eat during the New Year? Reply!"
Your Majesty! Lan Yu quickly knelt down, walked forward on her knees, and said in fear, I...I am wronged!
You are wronged! Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, did I wrong you? Or did Cao Guogong wrong you? Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, his usually slightly stooped figure suddenly became taller, and pointed at Lan Yu, there are other charges in this memorial to impeach you.
If you haven’t written it, do you need me to read it to you?
Immediately, without waiting for Lan Yu to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "In the 23rd year of Hongwu, there was a military meeting in the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. You petitioned us to use troops against Mobei, but we did not allow it. You petitioned us to promote twenty people."
We still have no permission for the generals in the army.
After the military meeting ended, what did you say to others? Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of sneers. You said that we don't trust you, and we don't agree to promote you because we are afraid that you will become more powerful in the army.
.Is this the case?
Minister...Lanyu was speechless, and her fear turned into trembling.
As an observer, Zhu Yunxi could clearly see Lan Yu's heart.
No matter how brilliant he is in battle, he is still a courtier who has been kneeling in front of the old man Zhu Yuanzhang since his youth. At that time, he was just a captain in Chang Yuchun's army. It was Chang Yuchun who repeatedly praised him in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and gave him a chance to stand out.
Opportunity.
After Chang Yuchun died young, Zhu Yuanzhang's regret for Chang Yuchun was transferred to this brother-in-law of the Chang family, whose personality was somewhat similar to Chang Yuchun.
But he and Chang Yuchun just looked alike. He had Chang Yuchun's boldness, but not Chang Yuchun's sincerity. He was more scheming than Chang Yuchun, but not Chang Yuchun's true nature.
Let him stumble and wake up early today, and save his family and family from being ruined in the future.
Not to mention turning against others, in fact, according to Zhu Yunxi's current status and team, the lack of a blue jade is nothing. He just simply feels sorry for the blue jade whose fighting achievements are comparable to Huo Qubing. He is afraid that his blue jade will be involved in other people in the future.
Meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it mildly, you are being careless. To put it seriously, you are guilty! Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the imperial censor, and if he doesn’t listen to you, he will be on guard against you! If he doesn’t listen to you, you will have complaints! You little boy, you are so courageous.
Not small!
Your Majesty, I am confused and guilty! Lan Yu kowtowed and said hurriedly, you also know that I sometimes drank some yellow soup and did not speak carefully. I said it unintentionally. I am loyal to you and to the Ming Dynasty.
No two minds!
If you have second thoughts! How can I keep you until today! Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again, if it weren't for the sake of Chang Boren (Chang Yuchun), the crown prince, and that you and I are related children, I would have attacked you long ago
Got it!
(Lanyu’s daughter was the Princess of Shu. Later, after Lan Yu was skinned, the skin was sent to the King of Shu. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong conquered Sichuan and found it in the Palace of the King of Shu.)
But we have the heart to tolerate you, but you, Lan Xiaoer, have no intention of repenting! Zhu Yuanzhang shouted sharply, are you worthy of us?
The old man is really angry. If he continues to curse, he might call someone to push Lan Yu down.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Zhu Yunxi stood up and said, "Dong Liang, you owe the emperor's favor, the emperor's grandfather's appreciation and respect for you, and the expectations of Gu Gu's father and King Kaiping. What do you think you should do?"
crime?
Your Majesty, your crime deserves death! Lan Yu said loudly, Your Majesty, you are right to scold me, and the things in the memorial are all true. I dare not quibble. I am a straight man, and I actually don’t have any bad intentions! As a young man, I joined the army.
He serves as his Majesty's bodyguard, charging into battle during war and guarding the central army in his spare time.
When I joined the army, I had just tied my hair, and now I have passed the age of knowing my destiny. I have been with Your Majesty for almost forty years, and Your Majesty knows that I know that I am unstable. I sometimes get carried away and do not know how to advance or retreat. But I am such a straightforward person.
temper.
Being able to achieve the position of the Duke of the country and the commander-in-chief of the army, Lan Yu is not stupid. After being frightened, he suddenly enlightened and began to beg for mercy.
In fact, this is a turning point. The emperor's grandson is by his side. He knows that someone is helping him, so he is willing to bow his head. If there is really no way to survive, and it is really time to be stabbed, Lan Yu may also risk it and be unwilling to bow his head again.
He is a stubborn, tough and domineering person, capable of all pentathlons.
Lan Yu kowtowed and cried, Zhu Yunxi slowly helped the old man sit down, Grandpa Huang, please calm down, he is a rude person! How to deal with him, don't you just say a word? Don't get so angry, it's not worth it!
After that, he said in Zhu Yuanzhang's ear, "Grandpa, the ministers are all watching and listening, and there are many people talking. Besides, the new year is approaching, and he just won another battle this year..."
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched twice, and he spat out a sentence from between his teeth, "Lan Xiaoer, you are not without bad intentions, I think you have a bad conscience! With some merit, your tail is raised to the sky!"
The old man immediately understood the hidden meaning in his eldest grandson's words. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty were watching. This matter is easy to say or not. And the year is approaching, so don't make people panic. You must know that the case of Hu Weiyong killed tens of thousands of people.
, it’s only been more than a year since I’ve given full consideration.
Besides, this guy just won the battle.
Killing him is just a matter of words. But you have to give him a crime that others can't find fault with. He is a veteran in the army and has made great achievements. If he is killed on these charges, some people may be dissatisfied. Others won't say it with their mouths, but they will feel guilty in their hearts.
think.
More importantly, the old man didn't want to mention this matter today, but Lan Yu hit the muzzle of the gun.
Killing a military official is not the same as killing a civilian official. You must be extremely cautious. This involves many personnel adjustments and the promotion and transfer of many military attachés.
Your Majesty, my conscience is still there! Lan Yu said loudly, my conscience is our Ming Dynasty. As he said this, he became a bit arrogant. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, I will cut it out and show it to your Majesty!
Don't you dare do this! Zhu Yuanzhang scolded, "We have seen more people's hearts in this life, not less than you, Lan Xiaoer!"
I am so loyal! Lan Yu kowtows again.
Be brave and loyal! Zhu Yunxi said, "Calculate for yourself, how many memorials have been issued to impeach you? When has Grandpa Huang tolerated you? When has he not let you go lightly? You, Lan Yu, are loyal and compassionate, but are you considerate?"
The heart of a king and father!
Sympathy for your father?
One word awakened Lan Yu.
I really deserve to die. I have let down your majesty’s tolerance and care for me over the years, I have let down your majesty’s good intentions, and I have let down your majesty’s love. I, my majesty, please punish me severely!
Punishment? If I kill you, we won’t even be relieved! Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
(At this period in history, the old man still had to pay attention to the crime of killing people. When he was in the worst years of his health, he probably felt that he had no tomorrow and was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would not be able to control him. He almost stopped looking for reasons and wanted to kill him.
