Chapter 473 Hengshan Conspiracy(1/2)

Ying Tianfu.
Zhu Han had just finished setting the grain prices for Datong Prefecture, and the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang was still on the way.
Someone in Yanjing already knew the news.
The civil servants were worried about how to deal with Zhu Han.
It turned out that Zhu Han himself had caused such a big thing, so of course they would not let this opportunity go.
Even with Hu Weiyong's suppression, Zhu Han's impeachment memorial still tightened around the palace like snowflakes.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the first memorial, he almost fainted.
He almost had to drag out the guy who dared to impeach his brother and cut him to pieces.
Not only was he angry with the civil servants, he was also angry with Zhu Han.
This guy has always been like this.
Either don't do it, or if you do it, it will be an earth-shattering event.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew about the drought in Datong.
During this time, he was also thinking of ways to mobilize food and money for disaster relief.
However, there are too many constraints in doing things in the court. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do something, he still needs to go through the process.
Now the imperial court has just begun to prepare food and grass, but Zhu Han has already taken the lead.
It's just that there are actions, but it's still such an incomprehensible operation.
From morning to now, Zhu Yuanzhang has read not only 1,000 but also 800 impeachment memorials.
Some of these memorials were impassioned, and among the impeachment memorials, Zhu Han was simply a heinous villain.
Some people quoted from other sources and described Zhu Han as the most evil person in history, even comparable to Qin Hui of the former Song Dynasty.
There is also a shadowy and strange temperament, and he praises openly and ridicules secretly.
Anyway, no matter what form of memorial he issued, he hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would directly kill Zhu Han, the guy who used the power of the court to force food prices to increase during the famine years, in order to express the anger of the people.
It is not surprising that Zhu Han was impeached by Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, this guy's behavior this time is really a bit too appalling.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang first knew that Zhu Han dared to sell one stone of grain for four taels of silver.
Moreover, through the power of the imperial court, the food supply in the disaster-stricken area of Datong was directly defined as a minimum of four taels.
They all gnashed their teeth in hatred.
Not to mention those civil servants who disliked Zhu Han in the first place.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Zhu Han must have his own meaning in doing this, and he could also figure it out during the music.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried.
Among all the civil servants in the dynasty, very few people could speak for Zhu Han.
If it were any other emperor, he would definitely like ministers like Zhu Han very much.
The most important thing about my family's ability to do things without saying anything is that they are quite incompatible with the civil service system of the imperial court.
Many people feel that if they want to achieve great things, they must cling to military power.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who successfully rebelled and became emperor, knew.
In fact, the civil service system is also very important.
From ancient times to the present, anyone who completely offends the entire civil service system will never end well, even if they gain power for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang was different from those emperors. He really thought about it and gave up his position to Zhu Han.
It's just that Zhu Han didn't agree.
Now that Zhu Han is incompatible with the civil service system, Lao Zhu begins to worry again that Zhu Han will have a difficult life in the future.
Zhu Han doesn't know what his eldest brother is thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell Lao Zhu: "You are thinking too much."
In the past, the attitude of the civil service system was indeed very important.
However, as the Ming Dynasty's regime became more and more stable.
The attitudes of these people will become less and less important.
The Confucian family has been completely overthrown by him, and the thousands-year-old Confucian system can now be said to have collapsed.
Within a few years or more, these traditional literati may still have a certain say in the court.
But thirty or fifty years later, there won't be much room for these people in the court.
His new learning is what will allow Ming to stand on top of the world forever.
Therefore, Zhu Han really doesn't care what these traditional bureaucrats think of him.
It's just that Lao Zhu didn't know these thoughts of Zhu Han.
Farewell to the angry Zhu Yuanzhang, he returned to the harem with a cold face and disliked everything.
Although Empress Ma never got involved in political affairs, it was certainly impossible for Empress Ma to be unaware of the impeachment of Zhu Han by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"For the Qiwu issue?" Empress Ma brought a hot towel to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to apply it on his face to relieve his fatigue.
Zhu Yuanzhang covered his face with a hot towel. The temperature of the towel was just right. It could relieve fatigue without making him feel cold or hot. He could only hum in comfort.
"Otherwise, what else could it be? This kid Qiwu doesn't make people worry."
"You said he should provide disaster relief. Why do you have to set the price of food so high?"
"I have to put aside my previous temper and have to argue with him."
Empress Ma smiled and said, "I'm a woman, but I don't understand the big things in the world?"
"But I know one thing, Qi Wu's heart has never changed in all these years."
"No matter what he does, he has only one purpose, and that is for the good of the people."
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled off the towel angrily: "Sister, it's not like we don't know Qi Wu's character."
"It's just that what he did this time was a bit too exaggerated."
"You don't know, now those ministers are almost calling Qi Wu Qin Hui."
Empress Ma still looked calm: "Qiwu doesn't care what they say. I guess the memorial that Qiwu gave you is already on the way, right?"
"When the time comes, let's wait and see what Qiwu says before talking."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "I get angry when I mention this matter. The memorial given to me on July 5th has not been sent to me yet, and they have already known the news in advance."
"They are so well-informed about these things. Why are they not so concerned about the disaster in Datong?"
While the couple was chatting, the eunuch outside the door suddenly announced in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Biao hurried in.
"I have met my father and my mother!" Zhu Biao used the fastest speed to greet Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
Then he paid attention to other things and immediately said anxiously: "Father, there is a reason why the emperor has set the price of food so high this time. You must not punish the emperor for this matter.
.”
The most fundamental reason why Zhu Biao is so anxious is that he knows his father too well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a man who could not rub dirt out of his eyes, and he never showed mercy to corrupt officials.
In these years, although I listened to Zhu Han's advice, I did not get involved in the court.
But this does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang's temper has changed.
Zhu Biao was just afraid that his father would do something irrational in anger.
I have to say that, as a junior, Zhu Biao's judgment of his father is quite accurate.
However, indicators are just juniors after all.
I still don’t know that much about the true relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.
Seeing that his son was at this moment, he dared to stand up and speak to Zhu Han, who was about to be infamy for eternity.
Lao Zhu was very pleased.
At least, my son can still carry him clearly at critical moments.
Know who is truly “one of our own”.
But on the surface, Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm at all.
He even snorted dissatisfiedly: "Inside story, what inside story?"
"I don't care what inside story he has or what difficulties he has. It's just not okay if he dares to enrich the country."
"It's not like you don't know what's going on in Datong now."
"At this time, instead of thinking about how to control food prices and give the people a chance to survive, the King of England dared to sell food at sky-high prices."
