Chapter 67 Zhu Yuanzhang’s thoughts
After hearing this, King Yan asked with some confusion: "Why? If you don't mention Lao Twenty, I'm afraid Lao Twenty will have to be punished if he doesn't report what he knows."
Yao Guangxiao laughed after hearing this.
"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Han is just waiting for His Majesty to issue a reprimand at this moment. As a vassal king, no one wants to be brought to the public eye and be watched by others all the time. The same is true for His Highness the King of Han."
"After the trip to Liaodong, His Highness the King of Han was brought to the capital to get married. During this period, it can be said that His Highness the King of Han has been put on the bright side and roasted on the fire. His Highness the King of Han will definitely not
I like this feeling, so your highness will help your highness, King Han!"
After hearing this, King Yan understood, and Xuanji also laughed.
"This Old Twenty, how come you haven't noticed it before? He is quite thoughtful. Since the Master has given instructions, I will follow the Master's instructions and let this brat Old Twenty relax!"
…
In fact, after the news that King Han was in danger spread in Liaodong, the Jinyiwei guards from all over Liaodong reported the news to the Jinyiwei Commander's Department one after another.
The commander of Jinyiwei knew about it, which meant that the emperor also knew about it. So when the emperor knew that such things happened in Liaodong, Long Yan was furious.
Relying on the all-pervasive role of Jin Yiwei, even if the emperor did not have complete evidence, he still knew that he probably had nothing to do with the King of Liao. Therefore, the emperor actually knew about this for a long time, but it never happened. It was because the emperor wanted to see that he, the fifteenth old man,
How long will he keep this secret?
At the same time, he also wanted to see Lao Twenty's attitude towards this matter. Will he help Lao Fifteen for the sake of brotherhood, conceal this matter, or report it.
Therefore, the emperor knew all the subsequent fights between the King of Liao and the King of Han. When he knew that the King of Han had been persuading the King of Liao to hand over the people, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.
Zhu Song did not bury this matter for his brother, but he also did not take the opportunity to add insult to injury and gain his father's favor by suppressing his brother. He excluded himself from this matter and reduced its impact, and then continued
After admonishing Lao Fifteen, let Lao Fifteen take the initiative to hand over the person.
But when one family is happy, the other is worried. What Lao Twenty did was beautiful, but in comparison, that idiot Lao Fifteen seemed too stupid and too much.
The emperor's grandson stood nearby and said that he had just learned about this.
"Is this matter of the Imperial Grandfather going to continue to be delayed? Uncle Fifteen has done such a thing, and it really cannot be concealed. The officials will know about it sooner or later. If we wait until the officials know about it and then report it, it is not as good as the Imperial Grandfather.
Let’s start first and reprimand Uncle Fifteen.”
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his grandson.
"How can this matter be solved with just a rebuke? If he didn't help the concubine's brother, we would at most accuse him of being lax in his duties, but now he not only helped the concubine's brother
He also used such dirty methods to prevent your Uncle Twenty from reporting it."
"Now we can't give him a simple crime anymore, this beast!"
"But although we can strike first, don't forget the civil and military ministers in the court. If they knew about the crime of punishing their son, they would not first think of helping us reduce some of the burden. Their first thought would be
It means we must have punished him too lightly."
"We have to wait a little longer, we have to wait a little longer and see if your Uncle Twenty will bring this matter up!"
At this moment, the internal official Wang Jinghong came in from outside holding a memorial.
"Your Majesty, King Yan, is reporting!"
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said with some surprise.
"King Yan? Submit it!"
Wang Jinghong handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang. After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, this fourth guy is really smart. He kept seeing that the twentieth guy didn't take any action, so he reported the matter to the police!"
"What a good son we have!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard the emperor's grandfather praising his fourth uncle, he didn't feel panic, because his fourth uncle got involved and insisted on bringing this matter up, which was equivalent to offending his fifteenth uncle and his twentieth uncle.
In Zhu Yunwen's opinion, this matter really shouldn't be concealed, but even if it were to be said, it should be said by the twentieth uncle himself. Or by the fifteenth uncle.
But now that Fourth Uncle is involved, that would be great. This means that Fourth Uncle has pushed Twenty Uncle further and further away. How can I be unhappy?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and then said.
"Password! Dong Chengshou collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. He was punished. King Zhu Zhikuan of Liao allowed his subordinates to teach the main court. The salary of King Liao was halved and will never be restored! Princess Dong of Liao was ordered to commit suicide!"
…
Jin Yiwei Of course, at that moment in the Liao Prince's Mansion, the Liao Prince didn't even think about what he had done wrong, so why did he still ask his father to find out?
The King of Liao believed that the royal guards in Guangning were all under his control, and he would reveal the identities of these people in private. Not only did he not kill or arrest them, but he also saved a lot of gold and silver and bought people's hearts.
Seeing that the matter had not been exposed, he thought that the Jin Yiwei had been bribed by him, but who knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had long known the fact that those Jin Yiwei had been bribed. The vassal king secretly bribed the Jin Yiwei, which was a big deal.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not have an attack. The main reason was that he wanted to see what his old fifteen wanted to do.
That is to say, as the saying goes, play the long game to catch the big fish.
That is, I caught this big fish today.
The King of Liao will be captured in the capital and handed over to Dazong Zhengyuan, who will punish the King of Liao.
Da Zong Zhengyuan punishes the feudal kings. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means imprisoning them, and then makes the feudal kings copy various ancient books and books of saints. Until Da Zong Zhengyuan feels that the feudal kings have been influenced and purified almost, then they can be released.
Leave it to the Holy One to decide.
However, when vassal princes go to the main courtyard, they can't just go through the motions. If they go to the main courtyard too many times, their titles may not be guaranteed.
This was the case with the King of Liao. Although he kept his title, he could not get the salary of 10,000 dan a year. Other vassal kings could get 10,000 dan a year, but he could only get 5,000 dan.
.
What even cost the King of Liao his life was that the Jin Yi guards strangled his beloved Concubine Dong to death in front of the King of Liao. Concubine Dong was unwilling to commit suicide and kept begging for mercy and hiding behind the King of Liao. The Jin Yi guards had nothing to do.
, had no choice but to temporarily control the King of Liao, and then strangled Concubine Dong to death.
The King of Liao hated Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart, but he didn't hate Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't dare to hate him. He hated the fourth brother who had filed a memorial against him, and he hated Lao Twenty in Kaiyuan.
