And this is derived from Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation, which shows how valuable this evaluation is.
Chang Yuchun, King of Kaiping, was the most important figure in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When he was alive, even Xu Da, the King of Zhongshan, was inferior to him. Fu Youde actually surpassed Xu Da, and was only slightly worse than King Kaiping. His bravery
He even defeated King Kaiping!
Although Yao Guangxiao had always had a high self-esteem, he believed that there were few people in the world who could compare with him. In the past, he had never had a place for Fu Youde in his mind, and he never expected that the rough-looking Fu Youde could hide his clumsiness.
Yao Guangxiao took out a letter from his arms and sighed slightly in his heart. Originally this thing was intended to be used to claim credit in front of Zhu Di, but now it seems that it is better to give it to him earlier, just to increase Zhu Di's confidence.
"What is this?" Zhu Di glanced at it and asked calmly, not even reaching out in a hurry.
Seeing Zhu Di's motionless appearance, Yao Guangxiao's heart moved. He knew that Zhu Di had experienced and practiced in the past two years to the point where he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he did not dare to pretend to be sophisticated anymore. ??
He quickly said, "Although Fu Youde is powerful, there are still people in this world who can compete with him. Isn't the prince worried about Fu Youde? God has sent a handsome talent to the prince."
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Di smiled slightly and reached out to pick up the letter without comment. He didn't believe Yao Guangxiao's words at all. If the most handsome people in the world were so easy to find, how could the Ming Dynasty still dominate the world?
Zhu Di only thought that Yao Guangxiao had never really seen the power of Fu Youde, so he could talk so shamelessly.
But as he opened the letter, the moment he saw a name, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked up at Yao Guangxiao in disbelief, "How is this possible? How can you win over him?"
When you heard these two words, Yao Guangxiao's heart suddenly sank. He instantly knew that Zhu Di had actually known that there was someone behind him for a long time, and he only acted with him deliberately to keep him.
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao had a clearer understanding of Zhu Di's deep thoughts.
Zhu Di also knew that he had said the wrong thing, but it was no longer important now. What he was extremely curious about now was how people like Yao Guangxiao managed to win over this person. This person was not an ordinary person, although he was driven back to his hometown by his father a few years ago.
He is retired, but as long as he comes out of the mountain, he will definitely shake the world.
"So the poor monk said that since the prince has destiny, he will naturally be welcomed by everyone!" Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Di didn't believe in destiny, so he stared at Yao Guangxiao and sneered, "This reason is not enough!"
Change the source a and view this book on multiple sites at the same time.
Yao Guangxiao hurriedly bowed slightly and replied truthfully, "I don't dare to deceive the prince. In fact, this man came to him himself. As for the reason, according to this man, it was Wu Wu Er. He wanted to compete with the heroes of the world."
Fight."
Zhu Di held the letter and lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but ponder.
After a while, Zhu Di suddenly laughed and looked up to the sky and said, "It is indeed destiny that belongs to me. It is indeed destiny that belongs to me."
Yao Guangxiao's face froze when he heard this. Although he often said this, he was a stickman and didn't believe it at all. Now that Zhu Di said this, he couldn't help but feel a very strange feeling.
.
He or Zhu Di, who is the best?
Zhu Di didn't care about that. Those who got on his ship were his people. It was impossible to get off the ship. As for the purpose of these people gathering on his ship, Zhu Di didn't care.
The news that the Minister of Civil Affairs embezzled two thousand guan of public money instantly shocked the entire court.
In an instant, whether they were enemies with Zhang Zhen or those who were friends with him, there was a roar of shouting and killing.
Some people even reported to the emperor, hoping that according to the iron rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao, who was greedy for sixty taels of ink and peeled daylilies, he would be punished with the penalty of peeling daylilies.
However, some officials believed that Zhang Yan could not escape the death penalty, so there was no need to torment him any more and they could just execute him immediately.
But the officials who advocated peeling daylily believed that the iron law set by Taizu Gao Emperor was unbreakable, otherwise it would not be enough to deter all officials.
Both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly.
Contrary to these officials, the other four ministers were silent and did not say anything. Unlike those officials who argued, they clearly knew why Zhang Yan ended up like this.
Although Han Du was not the one who took the initiative, he was the one who pulled the strings and led to Zhang Ming's end.
Moreover, in fact, various incidents in the canteen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not unheard of in other ministries. This incident also served as a warning to several ministers, who took the initiative to clean up their own canteens and completely eliminate extravagance and waste.
In the end, Zhu Biao issued an order to sentence Zhang to death.
Han Du followed the order and came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to announce the order to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan was imprisoned in the innermost cell. Considering his noble status, the jailer not only did not make it difficult
He even kept the cell clean and served him with good food and wine.
The jailer is not stupid either. This is a heavenly official. In the past, it was impossible to meet someone even if you wanted to curry favor with him. Now Zhang Yan is in trouble, but who can guarantee that he will not walk out of the prison in the next moment?
If you take good care of this gentleman in prison, you might be able to get huge benefits when he gets out. Such a hugely profitable thing, all the jailers will naturally rush to do it.
When Zhang Yan came here at first, he was quite uneasy. But then he comforted himself that with so many friends outside, he would be able to go out soon. After a few days, he comforted himself
In addition, the jailers rushed to show their courtesy to him, which made Zhang Yan mistakenly believe that this was an order that Bao Zhao, the Minister of Punishment, could give, and it might even be the emperor's will.
In this case, what else did he have to worry about? Zhang Yan settled down in this prison with peace of mind. He was even thinking about how to take revenge on Han Du after he got out.
This time Han Du made him so embarrassed, it would be a shame not to avenge him!
"Sir, please come quickly" .??.??
"My lord, please come this way."
Han Du came to the prison again, and felt a little touched in his heart. The original prison leader had long since been unable to return to his hometown, and the current prison leader was his son. The current position of prison leader was still the one when his father used favors to Han Du.
Asked for it.
When Zhang Ming heard the noise coming from outside, he thought it was the jailer who was bringing him food and drinks. In the past, it was indeed almost dinner time at this time, so it was no wonder that Zhang Ming had such an idea.
But after listening carefully for a moment, Zhang Yan noticed something was wrong. When he heard the word "Sir" one after another, a smile appeared on Zhang Yan's face, thinking that it was the official who came to release him.
Zhang Ming immediately sat up straight. Even in this cell, he wanted to give people an impression of steadfastness and unyielding. He wanted to declare to the world that although the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Du, deliberately suppressed him, he, Zhang Ming, was not afraid.
At the same time, Zhang Yan also really wanted to get out of this prison. Although the food here was pretty good, how could it compare with what he had in his house? He pretended that he had been wronged by Han Du and stayed there for only a few days.
It’s enough. Can we live here forever?
Listening to the footsteps of the visitor, he calculated the right moment for the visitor to appear at the door of his cell. Zhang Yan lowered his eyes slightly, and said loudly and passionately, "I have been upright all my life, and I am not afraid of Han Du, even if I am framed by him and imprisoned."
, I will never bow to him, Han Du, Han Du is a thief~ Uh~ Huh? Han Du! Why are you here!
"
Zhang Yan's righteous posture just now could no longer be maintained, and he even felt that his whole body was wrapped in coldness. A cold breath penetrated from his tailbone to Tianling Gai, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Han Du looked at Zhang Yan with a smile on his face and said nothing.
But the more Han Du smiled, the more Zhang Yan felt in his heart.
Han Du glanced at the table and saw that there was still some unfinished wine and meat on it. He immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you are living a good life here. You have wine and meat, you are full and well-dressed, and you are living a good life."
It’s really relaxing.”
Zhang Yan slowly calmed down, feeling that he had been frightened by Han Du's sudden appearance just now. Judging from Han Du's appearance, he didn't seem to be here under orders, maybe he just wanted to ridicule him.
After comforting himself, Zhang Yan felt a surge of courage again. He pointed at Han Du and said sternly, "Han Du, although you are the chief minister of the cabinet, Ming Dynasty still has royal laws. You can't frame me. Wait until I come out."
"This prison"
"You can't get out of this prison." The smile on Han Du's face disappeared instantly, and he said with a cold expression.
Before Zhang Yan could turn around, Han Du took out the imperial edict, unfolded it immediately, and said loudly, "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict states that Zhang Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has committed a heinous crime of embezzling public money. He is sentenced to death and will be executed in three days."
After Zhang Yan heard this, a great fear suddenly took over his heart. It felt like even the black shadows around him were squeezing towards him like evil ghosts.
The fear of death made Zhang Yan's legs weak and he couldn't even stand up. He kneeled and crawled to the edge of the cell, holding the fence with one hand, pointing at Han Du with the other and angrily yelling, "Han Du, you thief, you framed me."
Zhongliang, you must die a good death, the emperor will not be deceived by you, never!"
Han Du didn't care about Zhang Yan's scolding, but asked with a smile, "I framed you? What did I frame you for? Is it me who caused the extravagance and waste in the canteen of the Ministry of Personnel? You use the public funds of the Ministry of Personnel.
Is it for personal use? Is it a lie? Sixty taels of peeled day lilies are greedy for ink. The emperor has been kind enough to you, but you still don't want to thank me?"
There was only a buzzing sound in Zhang Yan's ears, and he couldn't hear any other sounds. He sat slumped on the ground, his eyes blank.
Han Du straightened up, glanced at Zhang Yan lightly, and left the prison without looking back.
After a long time, Zhang Yan was awakened by the growl of hunger in his stomach, and subconsciously shouted, "Why haven't my food and drinks been delivered yet?"
"Hahaha"
The response Zhang Yan received was a burst of laughter.
