Chapter 61: The Seventeenth Year of Hongwu

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, the Guo Huan case that spread across the country was finally concocted.

Chen Yunfu was suffocated thinking about the official documents published by the General Affairs Department in the Di Di newspaper.

Before, he was still secretly happy for saving Weng Junbo's family. Now, who else can he save?

Under this imperial edict, are all those who die guilty?

Everyone knows that there are countless innocent people.

But this time, no one can save them.

Chen Yunfu wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't dare this time.

In anger, Zhu Yuanzhang had lost his mind and could not help but tell Shao Zhi and his family.

At this moment, Chen Yunfu yearned for power.

If he had the power to dominate this matter, it could have been completely avoided.

Just investigate, just find out who killed whom, why should the implication be so wide.

This is a country, and this is no one’s personal belongings. Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy with such wanton behavior, but what about the millions of people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi?

Should the prefects and county magistrates be cut off and the people of the two provinces be allowed to live autonomous lives?

In his heart, Chen Yunfu also did not support Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.

This is probably the psychology of bystanders. Chen Yunfu's anger is far less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, so he thinks he can judge Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior.

Shao Zhi was very indifferent and even a little happy.

Although he was deposed from his official position, Shao Zhi seemed very happy.

After all, he survived.

"Xian son-in-law, after this case, you will have a great promotion."

Shao Zhi brought Chen Yunfu to his home and said during dinner: "This time the six departments and five temples are all empty. There are only a few students in the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy, which are not enough to make up the number. Judging from your Majesty's behavior in the past few years, he is extremely promoted."

You have made a great contribution this time. It is impossible for a third- and fourth-grade person to do so, but from my point of view, a fifth-grade person should not be able to escape."

Fifth grade?

Chen Yunfu's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but get excited. Before he could speak, Shao Zhi warned him again.

"But the more this happens, the more careful you have to be. The bigger your official position, the closer you will be to His Majesty. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger."

This sentence of "Being with you is like being with a tiger" made all Chen Yunfu's excitement disappear in an instant.

He seems to have forgotten the most important thing or person.

Zhu Biao!

The reason why so many civil and military talents in the Ming Dynasty were alive was only because Zhu Biao was there.

If Zhu Biao is gone, these people will lose the meaning of living.

Take a look at the configuration of the East Palace. Xu Da and Tang He both held the position of Prince's Young Master successively, while Li Shanchang and Zhan Hui were both the Crown Prince's Grand Master and the Crown Prince's Young Master.

Both the civil and military teams are the most top-notch equipment in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Lan Yu, the god of war in the early Ming Dynasty, was there. If Zhu Biao became emperor, what would Zhu Di have to do with him?

Even if Zhu Di was more capable than Zhu Biao, he would not dare to fight back.

One blue jade was enough to weigh Zhu Di out of breath.

But everyone knows what happens next.

As soon as Zhu Biao died, Xu Da and Tang He successively moved away from the center of power in the Ming Dynasty. Although they lost dignity in their old age, they still retreated in the end.

But Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, and Zhan Hui did not fare so well, and were executed one after another.

Because of these people, Zhu Biao can’t control Zhu Yunwen!

What kind of moral ability does Zhu Yunwen have? Zhu Yuanzhang feels like Ming Jing.

And now Shao Zhi's words have given Chen Yunfu a wake-up call.

He is gradually approaching the center of power of the Ming Dynasty, but what can he change?

If Zhu Biao still dies prematurely, then no matter how high he climbs, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, his life will still be wiped out at any time.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one could resist Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chen Yunfu was confused for a moment.

When Shao Zhi saw that Chen Yunfu was silent, he thought he was happy, and he was happy too. He raised his glass and drank three glasses in a row.

Shao Zhi became more and more satisfied with Chen Yunfu, his uncle.

What a young hero.

Who knows, it is really possible to become Gan Luo in the Ming Dynasty.

The father-in-law and son-in-law each have their own thoughts, whether they are happy or worried, but the capital city is already in chaos and panic.

The ferocious Jin Yiwei rushed into one house after another and arrested all the senior officials of the Six Ministries, Five Temples, and Nine Ministers who had been imperial officials.

There was no interrogation, no process, they were all dragged into the downtown area, and then they were stabbed!

Before he died, Li Xin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, looked up to the sky and smiled.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, since you kill so indiscriminately, your descendants of the Zhu family will also kill each other during the holidays. Just wait and see."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard about this, he was furious and ordered the execution of the Li Xin clan. He also dragged Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishments, Zhao Mao, the Minister of Officials, Mai Zhide, the Minister of Works, and others into the busy city, where they were quartered on five horses and abandoned for three days.

All the young and old members of the He clan were sent to Liaodong, and their wives and daughters were sent to the Jiaofang Sect as official prostitutes.

The sky in Hongwu's seventeenth year was already full of blood and terror.

During this period, Zhu Biao went to the palace every day to plead with Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The six departments and five temples have thoroughly rectified the Dharma, and there are tens of thousands of people who have been tired. I, my son and minister, beg your father to have mercy and not to be implicated in the big jail again."

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always doted on Zhu Biao, left directly this time, leaving Zhu Biao to chase him and kneel outside the Qianqing Gate for three hours.

The Chinese New Year has just passed, but the cold winter of March 9th is still going on in Jinling City.

As expected, something unexpected happened. Zhu Biao got cold and had a high fever.

"The prince is sick. This is a warning from heaven. Your Majesty, please don't kill innocent people again."

Supervisor Qin Tian was also bold and dared to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter. As a result, Guizhou reported the good news. Tang Heping defeated the Sizhou barbarians and captured 40,000 rebels in the first battle.

Is this considered unknown?

Therefore, Inspector Qin Tian was taken outside the Meridian Gate and beaten to death with a royal stick.

The killing continues, and more and more blood is shed.

It was also in this madness that an imperial edict came to Chen Yunfu.

Chen Yunfu was promoted to be a bachelor of Dongge and a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang (the fifth grade).

This day is March 18th in the 17th year of Hongwu.

Chen Yunfu left the political and legal system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and officially entered the official class of Prince Zhu Biao.

"Then let me see what will happen in history and what will be my future."

Chen Yunfu took over the big seal of Zuo Chunfang and printed the four big characters. Chen Yunfu was very excited.

"Grand Scholar's Seal!"
