Chapter 99 If a person is not ruthless, he will not stand firm!

Li Shanchang and Li Qi are a little embarrassed now. If the emperor doesn't pay attention to some things, then everyone will look at them carelessly. That's just what happens. At most, it's innocuous and nothing.

But the emperor insisted on putting some things on the line, which made people passive. Especially the founding emperor like Lao Zhu, who held great power, was decisive in killing, and most importantly, had enough prestige that people did not dare to give birth to anything.

thoughts.

Princess Zhu Jingjing of Lin'an came in a hurry, bringing her sons Li Fang and Li Mao.

Zhu Xiongying spoke softly and said to Princess Lin'an, "Auntie, it's not that my nephew wants to embarrass my uncle. It's just that I found some letters before, and there is evidence in them that Hu Ni and Lin Xian, the commander of the Mingzhou Guard, colluded with the Japanese pirates.

On second thought, my aunt also knows that Li Cunyi, the younger brother of the Korean Duke, is himself a member of Hu Ni’s party.”

Li Shanchang said hurriedly at this time, "Your Highness, although my younger brother has some contact with Hu Ni, it is only somewhat related. My younger brother has been wronged. No matter how bold he is, he will not dare to rebel!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but look at Li Shanchang. In the eyes of normal people, an outstanding person like Li Shanchang would never say such a thing. But in fact, this is really what Li Shanchang said. Sometimes the reality is more bizarre than the story.

Zhu Xiongying was not happy and asked directly, "What do you mean, Mr. Han, is the imperial court setting up an unjust case and wrongfully accusing your younger brother?"

Li Shanchang was immediately speechless. Although he felt that his brother must have been wronged, he also knew that his brother and Hu Weiyong did have a close relationship. His Majesty had previously expanded the Hu Weiyong case and implicated some people. His brother was also implicated.

It's normal.

But Li Shanchang was still unwilling to give in and said, "Your Highness, your Majesty previously issued an edict to avoid death."

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and looked at Li Shanchang, who was in his seventies. Zhu Xiongying had reason to suspect that Li Shanchang was old and confused.

Staring at Li Shanchang, Zhu Xiongying asked bluntly, "Does Mr. Han mean that all the previous sins have been wiped out? Those letters were not found before, and Hu Ni's many crimes were not discovered. Now that the evidence has been found,

Just erase it and don’t care?”

Li Shanchang remained silent again. He felt that His Majesty had issued an edict, which meant that the matter was settled. But now that some evidence has been found and the accounts are settled, it seems that there is some truth to it, and this is also normal.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Li Shanchang and said meaningfully, "It is human nature for the Korean public to protect our brothers. I remember that he was placed in Chongming, and His Majesty spared him from death because of the Korean public's hard work and merit. It's just that he was placed in Chongming.

I'm afraid this favor may not be enough. Previously, Jin Yiwei found the Korean father-in-law and other people involved."

Li Shanchang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked, "Your Highness, I govern the family very strictly, and no one will dare to do anything rebellious!"

Zhu Xiongying's face was as dark as water, and he asked in a straightforward manner, "Oh? So the Korean prince wants to guarantee your relatives? A major rebellion, which involves the nine clans. His majesty, the emperor's grandfather, showed mercy before, and I am afraid that he must not be spared.

."

Li Shanchang didn't know what to say at once. In fact, he knew many things in his heart. Li Shanchang himself didn't believe it if he really said that his family had no contact with Hu Weiyong.

The bottom line is that Hu Weiyong was recommended by Li Shanchang, and coupled with Li Cunyi's relationship, Li Shanchang has a lot of contacts with Hu Weiyong, which is also very normal.

During the conversation, Mao Xiang entered the hall and knelt down, "Your Highness, the servants of the Korean government, Lu Zhongqian and others, have been captured. Yang Wenyu and others, I think they have also been charged and brought to justice."

Li Shanchang's complexion changed drastically. The central servant of the government was arrested, and his old friend of decades was also arrested.

Could it be said that His Majesty really knows something? Or is His Majesty planning to disregard the dignity and directly accuse him?

No matter what Li Shanchang was thinking, Zhu Xiongying just said, "Mr. Han, now you have also become an official. In the early years, you have made countless achievements. Many nobles have close contacts with Mr. Han, and they also look up to you. It's just that these people are not public now."

Hou, he may not be willing to listen to the good advice of the Korean Duke. The imperial grandfather even lamented that he was not energetic, and the Korean Duke was also like this."

Li Shan was stunned for a moment, and then said subconsciously, "Your Highness, I am a man in his seventies. Although he is old, he can still serve the court."

After all, he still can't let go of power. Even though he has been idled by Lao Zhu all these years, Li Shanchang still thinks about returning to the court and becoming the mainstay second only to the emperor.

If he cannot control the power, Li Shanchang will definitely feel that life is worse than death. He is not used to that kind of life.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Li Shanchang, "That's true. Is Lian Po still able to make a living at this old age? Don't worry, Mr. Han, I am not Guo Kai, and I will not let Mr. Han have nowhere to display his ambitions."

Lian Po did indeed eat a bushel of rice and ten kilograms of meat in one meal in front of Guo Kai, and even put on armor and mounted a horse to express his ability. However, when Guo Kai, the envoy, returned, he reported almost truthfully, but only made up the ground that Lian Po was old.

Yes, I pooped three times while chatting.

After saying this, Zhu Xiongying stood up and said to Zhu Jingjing, "Auntie, you have been granted the title of Princess Lin'an. I thought that Lin'an is also a good place. How about my aunt and uncle take my cousin to Lin'an.

It is said that it is also the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, so Lin'an is a good place."

Zhu Jingjing's expression changed drastically, and she said hurriedly, "Your Highness, although I have the title of princess, I am just different from a prince..."

The title of princess is indeed nothing, and it is not a real title. Zhu Jingjing thinks what would happen if she went to Lin'an?

Zhu Xiongying still had a smile on his face and asked again, "How about we go to Chongming? My eldest uncle's uncle is in Chongming, so I can take care of him when he goes there."

At this time, the expressions of Zhu Jingjing and Li Qi changed drastically. If they really went to Chongming, they would be demoted and resettled like Li Cunyi. That basically means that they are just able to survive, but they are still prisoners in essence.

Moving the emperor's eldest daughter there is simply better than imprisoning her under the high walls of Fengyang and abolishing her clan identity.

Zhu Jingjing was flustered and subconsciously grabbed Zhu Xiongying's sleeves, "Your Highness, I am not guilty!"

What she is facing now is the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. The identity of aunt cannot be used at this time.

Zhu Xiongying looked panicked and looked at the tearful Zhu Jingjing and asked in confusion, "Auntie, my nephew just asked his aunt and uncle to take his cousins ​​to go sightseeing. How can he be guilty? Besides, the Li family is guilty.

, for the sake of the Tian family blood, I have nothing to do with my aunt and cousin."

Zhu Xiongying's comfort made Li Qi even more panicked, "Your Highness, I have been wronged, but I have done nothing wrong!"

Looking at Li Qi, Zhu Xiongying said seriously, "Uncle, our family does not speak the same language. Hu Ni's case is more complicated than previously thought. These things are unknown to others, but the Korean public must be aware of them.

”

Li Shanchang, who was next to him, was stunned and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, I don't know!"

Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said nothing more. If Li Shanchang is stubborn, there will be nothing to say.

No matter how Zhu Jingjing tried to persuade him to stay, Zhu Xiongying still left the Korean government with his troops. As for the people in Sona, they were all brought back to the Zhenfu Division with great fanfare. It must be known that the Korean government was involved in some major cases.

.

For a time, this could be regarded as causing a storm in the city. Both the emperor's grandson and the Korean Duke were the focus of civil and military affairs in the court. It seemed that a conflict broke out between these two people, which made people feel even more incredible.
p>

The storm is coming, and some things may be more complicated than imagined.

Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about how other people talk about certain things now. He doesn't need to deliberately build a reputation, and he doesn't need to think about winning the hearts of civil and military officials.

As long as the civil and military officials are loyal to the emperor, Zhu Xiongying does not necessarily require them to be members of the Taisun Mansion first, and does not necessarily require these people to be the so-called Taisun Yuyi. Those things are a bit redundant for him.
p>

This is the good thing about having a stable position. There is no need to think about forming a party for personal gain, and there is no need to think about strengthening one's own strength.

Of course, Lao Zhu and the others knew very well about some of Zhu Xiongying's actions, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

As an emperor, you should treat both kindness and power, even for some heroes and some clan members. If you are not ruthless, you will not be able to be a good emperor. The so-called wise and powerful does not mean that it is absolutely black and white.

As for satisfying everyone, this is a fantasy. This is simply impossible. What can be pursued is to ensure the interests of the vast majority of people, which is the best thing.
p>

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao will take care of other matters, and they will definitely expand the Hu Weiyong case, because that is a key to their plan to deal with Wu Xun.

Zhu Xiongying appeared in the court as a habit and continued to listen to some important events. It was okay not to express his position, as speaking out was an attitude.

And when they saw the emperor's grandson appearing in the court from time to time, many people felt that this was the beginning of the emperor's grandson's observation of politics.

Listening to Xu Da's performance, Zhu Xiongying was thinking about it as a habit. But he felt more and more something was wrong. After surrendering Naha, Liaodong was basically stable.

This also means that there is no need to worry about being attacked from both sides. The imperial court is now gathering troops and escorting food and wages, and is preparing to attack the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying gets excited and excited when he thinks about this. If he misses this battle, it will be really difficult to get another chance.

We must exert our strength, and we must keep up with this battle no matter what. Even as the nominal head coach, this is what Zhu Xiongying wants to strive for.

Zhu Xiongying, whose eyes were rolling around, was thinking that this time he conquered Beiyuan, it would be a great victory in history that made Lan Yu famous.

When the time comes, there should be no problem with Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and some other founding princes. As long as you don’t command blindly, it will be difficult to defeat the battle!
