"How could it be like this? Why is it such a fuss? Didn't the general say it's not a big deal? When he left yesterday, he told me to go to His Highness Changsun."

"I didn't hear anything about it. How did it end up like this today?"

The military attache who had gone to Zhan Hui's mansion to cause trouble with Lan Yu earlier whispered to the people next to him in panic.

His tone couldn't stop trembling.

Duke Liang's behavior scared him out of his wits.

Duke Liang Lan Yu can be said to be the most popular general in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After the Battle of Yuerhai, his reputation was at its peak, and he became the most dazzling figure in the entire Huaixi military generals group.

Even the previous uncle was willing to listen to his orders, not to mention that Lan Yu inherited King Kaiping's command and had many elite soldiers and generals.

Even in front of His Majesty, I don't have the slightest fear.

This kind of people will plead guilty just because they beat up a minister of the Ministry of official affairs.

Such a scene is simply unbelievable.

A calm military attache said: "Yesterday, before the general went to His Highness Changsun, he was extremely confident and did not express any problem."

"All of this probably happened at His Highness Changsun's place. We don't need to panic for the time being. Perhaps this is His Highness Changsun's arrangement."

"Look carefully, the general's face is relatively calm, without much anger or other feelings. Instead, it gives me a sense of confidence."

After hearing this military attache's analysis, the surrounding military attaches looked carefully.

Sure enough, there was really no sense of decadence on General Lan Yu's face.

On the contrary, I feel very energetic, as if the thorns behind my back are just that.

Although the civil servants did not know exactly what Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, had committed, this did not prevent them from taking pleasure in his misfortune.

The opposition between civil and military officials is still very obvious in the court. Isn't it a happy thing to see Duke Liang, the head of the military attachés, defeated?

However, there is also a vacancy in the front row of civil servants.

"Why didn't Zhan Shangshu come to the morning court today?"

"I guess His Majesty has other instructions."

"That's how it should be."

After a short exchange, no one paid attention to Zhan Hui.

After all, the minister in the court has a very close relationship with His Majesty, and it is common for him to have private arrangements that prevent him from attending the morning court.

Among them, the person who likes to miss the morning court the most is Shen Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. A few days ago, he didn't go to the morning court for several days in a row. Apparently, he was doing something assigned by His Majesty.

Soon, Fengtian Gate opened.

Lan Yu just carried the thorn sticks on his back and headed towards Fengtian Palace as usual.

This kind of behavior really attracted the attention of most people.

The officials and guards were all a little confused.

However, under the circumstances of the morning court, especially if it was Liang Guogong, they had nothing to say and could only follow the previous procedures.

After the Fengtian Gate opened, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying were already in the Jinluan Hall.

After going through the process, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Dong Liang, what are you doing? You are still carrying thorns on your back, are you trying to make fun of us?"

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang had noticed Lan Yu the moment he entered the palace.

Before speaking, he took a deep look at Da Sun.

Good guy, such an arrogant and domineering person was actually subdued by Da Sun?

You must know that Lan Yu has a very bad temper. After a sip of wine, he even dares to contradict himself.

Such behavior was something that even Zhu Yuanzhang had not expected.

Lan Yu heard this, and after leaving the class to salute, he knelt down and shouted loudly: "I am guilty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Which law of the Ming Dynasty did Duke Liang violate? He must mobilize troops and mobilize people like this."

Lan Yu raised her head slightly, looked at His Majesty Changsun who was standing next to His Majesty, took a deep breath, and then said: "I drank too much and drank too much yesterday. I was impulsive and committed a huge disaster."

"Because I was usually dissatisfied with Zhan Shangshu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, I got drunk and got drunk."

"Then he rushed to Shangshu Zhan's residence and had a slight conflict. On impulse, he beat Shangshu Zhan."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked and said: "What! You actually beat Zhan Shangshu. Do you know that he is an official of the second rank of our Ming Dynasty? How dare you do this!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair and was almost shouting filial piety from behind.

The corner of Zhu Ying's eyes glanced.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what an old man. Sure enough, the founding emperor was not a simple one. If Zhu Ying hadn't already known about this performance, and the old man had called him over to tell him.

Otherwise, he really thought that the old man just knew about this.

As soon as this conversation came out, the entire Fengtian Hall suddenly became as lively as a vegetable market.

Especially the civil servants were in a state of excitement.

The Minister of Civil Affairs of the current dynasty, who was almost equivalent to the head of the civil service in a sense, was actually beaten by a military commander.

Even if the one who beats the person is Liang Guogong Lan Yu, it is still unacceptable.

Warriors beating literati is something that is extremely taboo among all literati.

This is probably because most of the current literati since the Song Dynasty are weak scholars and are not as capable as they were in the civil and military affairs earlier.

Therefore, military commanders, especially those with strong personal strength, became more and more fearful.

The black gauze hat on their head is their biggest support.

However, this reliance was broken by Lan Yu today. Is this really a big deal?

Today Lan Yu can beat the Minister of Civil Affairs, and tomorrow there will be other generals of the same level as him who dare to beat him.

What should happen from now on?

The literati suddenly felt a sympathy for each other, and 90% of the literati became extremely angry.

At this time, coughs could be heard one after another among the civil servants.

It's not that the wind is causing any harm.

It's just a tacit understanding among the court officials. The purpose of coughing is to remind my colleagues that I'm about to perform, so as to avoid the situation where many people come out to perform at the same time.

"Ahem!"

"Cough cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

All of a sudden, the excited civil servants refused to let anyone go and coughed violently, strongly expressing their intention to perform.

Those who are not of high quality will naturally not dare to cough.

Those of similar rank, especially the ministers of the Sixth Division, kept coughing at him.

We all have about the same level, why should you be allowed to go first?

Especially the impeachment of Liang Guogong Lan Yu, which is a big publicity matter, naturally everyone wants to be the first to do it.

"You guys are really going to hell, aren't you? Just bear with us. There's no need for you to say anything about this matter today. I'll ask it myself."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the following scene and scolded him loudly.

Seeing His Majesty's anger, the ministers naturally stopped and did not dare to make any more noise.

After calming down, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lan Yu: "Dong Liang, we see that you are holding the Ming Dynasty Law in your left hand, and you also bear the thorn to plead guilty. You must be aware of your sins."

"We just want to ask you what your plans are."

In fact, as far as the law of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, this kind of beating others only requires dozens of imperial sticks. For ordinary people, twenty imperial rods basically cost half of their life.

However, for people like Lan Yu, the Jin Yiwei who take action usually keep their hands to a large extent and follow the formality.

The biggest impact here is not the punishments in the Ming Dynasty laws, but the overall impact on military commanders and civil servants.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang executed a few corrupt officials for fun, he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He was concerned about the name. Even if he was one of the four great officials of Hongwu, at least there was absolutely no problem with the process.

Therefore, even though the officials were extremely afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, they acted in accordance with the law and did not kill in a moody manner.

Zhu Yuanzhang's influence on literati also needs to be considered.

Hearing this, Lan Yu first kowtowed, and then said respectfully: "I know that I have committed a crime. Today, I stand on a tree to plead guilty, just to express my sincerity to Your Majesty and Zhan Shangshu."

After finishing speaking, he held up the land deed in his right hand and continued: "This is all the land in my name, and I am willing to dedicate it all to the imperial court. At the same time, I feel that I am unable to serve as the left governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion."

"I would also like to ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to remove me from my position as Commander-in-Chief of the Left."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but also all the civil and military officials in the entire court became turbulent.

"Go crazy!"
