In the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the left prime minister Hu Weiyong told Zhu Yuanzhang that the old well in his house suddenly spewed out Liquan, which was an auspicious sign, and he wanted to invite Zhu Yuanzhang to come and watch it.
During the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong’s Huaixi School made numerous reports.
Late at night, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair in the Wenhua Hall, flipping through volumes of memorials.
"Let's take a look. These are all presented by the ministers. Fourth, what do you think?"
King Zhu Di of Yan stood aside, cupped his hands and said, "My ministers believe that the congratulations from ministers cannot be faked. There are many people who are greedy for fame and fortune and take the opportunity to exaggerate."
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and nodded meaningfully.
"what about this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a memorial from the table and threw it to Zhu Di.
"this……"
"This is to impeach Hu Weiyong. There are ten crimes listed on it. In my opinion, none of these crimes are enough for him to punish the nine tribes."
When Zhu Di saw these memorials, he broke into a cold sweat.
How should he face the father in front of him? As the commander and minister of the Royal Guards, he is not able to do things well. Shouldn't he submit these memorials himself?
"Fourth brother, don't be nervous. This is what your Jinyiwei sent here. However, I really want to see what this Liquan that Hu Weiyong mentioned looks like!"
"Someone is coming!"
"It is my decree that tomorrow we will go to the Hu Mansion and we will handle the viewing matters immediately."
"Yes!" Eunuch Yunqi stood up and walked outside the Wenhua Hall.
"Fourth brother, come with me tomorrow." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
"My son, I obey!"
After Zhu Di exited the hall, he asked the eunuch on duty outside, "What time is it?"
"If I get back to King Yan, it's already five o'clock in the morning!"
It was almost dawn, and Zhu Di had not slept all night, but he had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
So, he went to Jinyiwei Chao Prison alone to arrange for the emperor to travel today to protect him.
In Jinyiwei's prison, the King of Hell will let you die at the third watch, but Jinyiwei can keep you until the fifth watch.
Anyone who is led into "Prison" by "Edict" will definitely escape death. Whether it is "Edict" or "Edict", just looking at the word "Edict" reflects the majesty of Jin Yiwei.
Jin Yiwei's "Prison Prison" has 18 sets of commonly used torture instruments, each of which is a torture that can make people lose their souls.
"Tomorrow, the teams led by each of the hundreds and thousands of households will search the officials first! If anyone is found to have formed a clique for personal gain, they can immediately take up their duties as commanders of the Jinyi Guards!"
"Yes!" The crowd roared, and the whole prison was echoing.
Then a hundred households came up to Zhu Di and whispered: "Still don't speak!"
"I know, let's leave it for now. I'll interrogate him in person another day! By the way, give him a different cell!"
"yes!"
…
In the morning of the next day, hundreds of officials accompanied them, and Yiluan Si blew the horn mightily. Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chariot together, and King Zhu Di of Yan rode a tall horse with a lion jade and walked forward.
Suddenly, the eunuch Yunqi rushed into Yiluansi and blocked the road.
This is a crime of beheading, even though Yunqi is the emperor's most trusted eunuch.
"Here comes someone!" Zhu Di shouted fiercely, and all the imperial guards immediately surrounded Yun Qi, who was kneeling on the ground.
Yunqi pointed in the direction of the tower with his hand.
"If you dare to block the holy driver, you will be dragged out and executed with a stick!"
There were screams outside the palace gate. Yun Qi, who was lying on the ground, vomited blood and still pointed in the direction of the tower.
"Your Majesty, Yun Qi is so stubborn that he won't say anything until death! It's just..."
"Just what?" A deep voice came from the huge dragon chariot.
"He always pointed in the direction just now!"
"Fourth!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
Zhu Di understood what the old man meant and immediately led his troops to check the direction of the tower.
Just waiting, Zhu Di climbed to the city gate and ambushed hundreds of crossbowmen, intending to assassinate the king!
"Take them all away!"
All these people were taken to the prison of Jinyiwei.
Immediately, the Hu Weiyong case broke out in the 13th year of Hongwu. The case involved as many as 30,000 people.
It turned out that Hu Weiyong wanted to capture Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop under the guise of Li Quan. Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei's spies had already placed the evidence of Hu Weiyong's rebellion in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"All personnel return to the palace!"
The Jinyi guards all surrounded the entire Yiluan Division and escorted the emperor back to the palace, which was much faster than when he left the palace.
Outside the Wenhua Hall, Prince Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Jin Zhu Fan, and King of Yan Zhu Di all knelt down and worshiped outside.
"Brother! Dad, is he okay..."
Zhu Biao remained silent and knelt on the ground.
"Fourth brother, you are good at talking. We can't bear the blame this time. You are the commander of the Jinyi Guards, so your responsibility is not small this time." Qin King Zhu Xi said aggrievedly.
"This time I failed to investigate strictly and neglected my duty. Please punish me, brother!"
"Your Majesty's Oral Order! Send the Crown Prince to an audience!"
Several people lowered their heads and looked at each other silently, watching the prince walk in.
"Do you think eldest brother will..."
"You fart!"
"I'm just talking nonsense!"
"Brother, you won't harm us." Zhu Di said calmly.
After a while, the prince walked to the jade steps.
"Brother!"
"Brother!" Zhu Di and others were anxiously waiting for the old man's summons.
As the commander of the Royal Guards, King Zhu Di of Yan was in charge of the power of life and death inside and outside the court. Now that scandals such as assassinating the king and killing the emperor have happened, it is difficult for people to doubt his head. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to escape.
Cleared.
"The emperor's decree!" Prince Zhu Biao shook his sleeves and said domineeringly.
"Holy Holy Gong!" The three princes knelt on the ground and shouted.
"I'm in peace! I am relieved of the post of commander of King Yan's Jinyi Guards. The second child will now take over the post of Beizhen Fusi immediately. The third child will take over the post of King Yan and take office immediately. There must be no mistake!"
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Hearing this, the second and third children became completely excited, which showed that the old man trusted him.
The fourth child was not so lucky.
"Fourth brother, you don't have to be discouraged. The old man wants you to have a good rest for two days." King Qin Zhu Xi patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said.
"Yes, fourth brother, wouldn't it be nice to have a good two days' rest at home? I heard that a pretty girl came to the Jiaofang Department, and even the transformed child is very unpleasant, hahaha
..." Jin King Zhu Fan said happily.
"You two are still not backing down! If you are talking nonsense in front of the Holy Master, be careful of me punishing you!" The prince hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
After the two left, the prince saw the disappointment on Zhu Di's face. He knew that the fourth brother was wronged, but the old man dismissed him.
"Fourth brother, you might as well rest for two days, and I will go to your father to intercede for you."
"Brother, I have resigned..."
Zhu Di didn't say much. He walked in the palace compound in despair. The vermilion walls made him breathless.
