Zhu Huan's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground and shouted:

"I don't know that the emperor came to the government. I said the wrong thing, so please forgive me!"

Zhu Liujiu next to him was also startled. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's bad expression, Zhu Liujiu hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Huan'er didn't mean it. There must be a misunderstanding in this. Huan'er respects you the most."

Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhu Liujiu up, without saying a word, but waved his hand behind him and said:

"Zheng Shiyuan, let's talk."

I saw one of the two young men coming up. It was obvious that this person was Zheng Shiyuan, and he said:

"After visiting, it has been found that the taxes in Dingyuan County are thirty-three, and the taxes stipulated by the Ming Dynasty are thirty-one. Not only that, there are also many extra taxes, such as driving taxes, monthly taxes, warehouse taxes, etc., Zhu Huan, as the magistrate of Dingyuan County, you cannot not know about the taxes in Dingyuan County. You are a local parent official, so it would be fine if you don't do anything, but you also plunder the people and wantonly exploit the people's wealth and omissions. According to the Ming Dynasty, you should be killed!"

After Zheng Shiyuan said it casually, Zhu Yuanzhang took out the announcement in his sleeve and threw it directly on Zhu Huan's face, saying with a blue face:

"You are my nephew. I asked you to be the magistrate of Dingyuan because I wanted you to be a parent, but you were a disaster to the village. The people of Dingyuan dare not say that because they know you are the emperor's nephew. Do you know that you are more than money than money. What you are greedy is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty! People come! Stop it, summon the people at the door of the government and beheaded!"

The accompanying guards responded and were about to go forward to grab Zhu Huan, but Zhu Liujiu rushed over and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's thighs. He cried and cried, but he couldn't kill his son. His son was a good official and would definitely not do these things. He must have done it by the people below. He also said how he helped Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and would rather not be a marquis or an official, and let them go back to the countryside. He only asked for forgiveness of Zhu Huan's life.

Zhu Yuanzhang also pulled Zhu Liujiu and shouted, "Brother, this is not something that can be discussed!", but he did not order the guards to suppress Zhu Huan again.

The guards wanted to suppress them, but Zhu Liujiu held Zhu Yuanzhang's thighs and protected Zhu Huan. If Zhu Huan was dragged down, they might have to pull the emperor. How dare they do this? What's more, Zhu Liujiu's identity, they also know.

That's the emperor's brother! This is not a kiss, otherwise everyone will have to be named the king!

The guards were a little hesitant for a moment. Zhu Huan seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and hurriedly shouted:

"Your Majesty, the criminals don't know these things. It must be the one below who took the official documents and deliberately did this without hiding them. I am the emperor's nephew. How could I do such a thing?"

Zhu Huan said something with a nose and eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said:

"Since you said that, I'll let you die. I'll check it out in Dingyuan County these days. If you are the culprit, you will definitely be killed! Take it down first and lock it up, then gather all the officials in the county town. I'll interrogate them one by one!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left with his hands behind his back. Zhu Liujiu, who was helped up, hurriedly chased after him, needless to say, he went to plead for mercy.

Zhu Huan was also taken down, only Zhu Qi looked at the scene in front of him with a strange expression.

Zheng Shiyuan also had a strange expression.

Zheng Shiyuan hesitated for a moment and was about to follow in and find Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Qi had already guessed what Zheng Shiyuan was going to do.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang? His adopted son, Marquis Pingyang, committed a crime and had an iron certificate for exemption from death. Zhu Yuanzhang could get a dragon robe from thousands of miles away in order to legally kill Marquis Pingyang.

Zhu Yuanzhang could even do something like the dragon robe framed the adopted son and rebelled. It can be said that as long as he could kill corrupt officials, Zhu Yuanzhang would never be ruthless.

The taxes in Dingyuan County are three times that of normal, and there are so many heavy taxes. Can Zhu Huan, the magistrate of Dingyuan, have no responsibility? Is it a fraud below?

If you let others go, Zhu Yuanzhang had already killed someone and would he go to someone else's father's house for dinner?

Zhu Qi was a little worried before, fearing that Zhu Yuanzhang would turn the death penalty into a reimbursement for family affection, and the reimbursement of death to life imprisonment, and the life imprisonment was changed to a reimbursement. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts may not be the case, it would be hard to say if Zhu Liujiu continued to be so stingy.

After all, this happened in history. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt compassion and wanted to save Zhu Huan from death. At the critical moment, Zheng Shiyuan stood up and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that if Zhu Huan was a brave corrupt official who was arbitrarily accused of killing the people, if he didn't kill him, he might as well make a law that could be leniently dealt with by the royal relatives!

Zhu Yuanzhang was not Li Shimin. He was born into a noble family in Guanlong. Because of his improper country, he retained his reputation as a counselor.

Zhu Yuanzhang became popular, how many of Zheng Shiyuan could lose his head?

Zhu Qi remembered that in history, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to punish Zheng Shiyuan for violating death, and the crown prince Zhu Biao helped him plead for mercy. After Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, he finally decided to execute Zhu Huan.

But the key problem is that the historical trajectory is different now, and Zhu Biao is not here! Just the King of Liao, Zheng Shiyuan will anger Zhu Yuanzhang by then, and it may not be useful to help him plead with him!

Seeing that Zheng Shiyuan was about to go in to find Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Qi grabbed Zheng Shiyuan without saying a word. Zheng Shiyuan was stunned and asked quickly:

"Your Highness, what are you doing when you pull me?"

I won't let you send it!

"Sir Zheng comes with me, and I will discuss something with you."

Zhu Qi said with a smile, Zheng Shiyuan frowned and said:

"Let's talk about it later, otherwise the emperor would change his mind if he was told. If Zhu Huan could not be executed, the royal relatives would have to be more unscrupulous in the future!"

Sure enough, Zheng Shiyuan was going to give advice!

Zhu Qi stopped talking nonsense to Zheng Shiyuan and signaled Gao Jin with a look. Gao Jin hurriedly helped to pull Zheng Shiyuan out.

Zhu Qi can see that this person is indeed a good official who calls for the people in history, but he just doesn't care about his life.

But if a minister of admonishment is afraid of death, then why should he be a minister of admonishment?

Zheng Shiyuan shouted loudly, but the guards brought by Zhu Yuanzhang were not afraid to move. Although it was not appropriate for His Highness of the King of Liao to pull the ministers, it was His Highness of the King of Liao after all.

Forget it, just pretend I didn't see it.

Zhu Qi pulled Zheng Shiyuan into the yard in front, then bowed to Zheng Shiyuan who was frowning and said:

"Mr. Zheng, I was rude just now. I just saw that Master Zheng was going to do something unfaithful and unrighteous. I was so anxious that I did something extraordinary. I also asked Master Zheng not to recommend it."

Zheng Shiyuan frowned and said:

"Your Highness? Why am I unfaithful and unrighteous? Can you not see that your Majesty's heart is shaken? If corrupt officials like Zhu Huan are not punished, my officials in the world will be in mind. Will the people's lives be better in the future?"

"You're talking about it."

Zhu Qi smiled and said:

"But you come to the emperor at this time. If the emperor does not agree to execute Zhu Huan immediately, you must keep him for the time being and continue to investigate first. What should you do?"

Zheng Shi Yuen Long said:

"What else can I do to investigate? If this happens, Zhu Huan is the magistrate, so he will be a death sentence. If he does not repent, the false accusation is what his subordinates say. When the time comes, interrogate the Dingyuan officialdom, he will definitely be able to find out the truth."

"What if, what if, what if this case is delayed and Zhu Huan is exempted from the death penalty because of insufficient evidence?" After Zhu Qi asked, Zheng Shiyuan's face changed and he said:

"If there is really this, then let the emperor issue an order to add a word to this Ming law. In the future, the royal relatives and relatives will be punished with ease!"

Zhu Qi looked solemn and bowed:

"Mr. Zheng is noble and honest, and he is not afraid of life and death, but after you said this, the emperor killed you in anger. The historian wrote a note in later history books. You have left your name in history. The emperor became a person who does not listen to advice and kills loyal and good people. Even though you know that this will happen, if you still do this, you will be a despotic and unfaithful act. Isn't this a deed of unfaithful act?"

Zheng Shiyuan was stunned and said with a look of his sleeve:

"Your Highness is a sophistry and has no basis. If you take this into consideration, will I, the minister of counsel, not speak? The official will not talk to you."

Zheng Shiyuan made a lawsuit and was about to leave, but Zhu Qi simply stopped pulling and hugged his arms and said:

"Go, go, if you go to die, then Zhu Huan will probably still be able to survive. What do you think I'm here for? I just heard that you reported Zhu Huan. I know that Zhu Huan is not so easy to die, so I came to find evidence first. If the evidence is conclusive, he is just dead. As a result, you are completely unable to hold back and get the emperor. Now there is no conclusive evidence at all. Just with an announcement, Zhu Huan is not an announcement issued by himself. What can you do?

Just because he is the magistrate? Other magistrates can die, but he is not sure. His father saved the emperor's life! This life will be worth one, and Zhu Huan can survive! You go directly to advise and go now, and it will become your good reputation. When Zhu Huan will not die, you, the counselor, will die, and the chaos in the Ming Dynasty, it will be blamed on you. If you are not afraid of taking the blame or the people's suffering, you can go."

After Zhu Qi said this, Zheng Shiyuan stopped and hesitated and said:

"Your Highness, you... are you here to find evidence to punish Zhu Huan? Aren't you here to find a craftsman?"

Zhu Qi suddenly laughed and said:

"You believe it, I guess the emperor doesn't believe it, but the emperor doesn't say it."

Zhu Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Zheng Shiyuan had some calm down. As long as he didn't rush to contradict Zhu Yuanzhang, especially when the crown prince Zhu Biao was away, I, the King of Liao, were really afraid that I would not be able to suppress Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zheng Shiyuan sighed again and said:

"After hearing what Your Highness said, the current situation is really because of me, Zheng Shiyuan. If Your Majesty really can't make up his mind, I must not help but give advice..."

"Please advise must be given advice, but you don't have to say it yourself." Zhu Qi changed into a eased expression and said:

"I am good at punishing corrupt officials. You cooperate with me. I promise that within five days, I will let Zhu Huan die clearly."

Zheng Shiyuan looked at His Highness the King of Liao in front of him, but his respect arose...
