However, Zhu Yunxi did not expect that the old man was not in a hurry to see him, but asked Pu Bucheng to pass on the message.
"What did the emperor say?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Pu Bucheng bowed his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty said that after the Chang family is the hero of the Ming Dynasty, it is also the maternal family of His Highness and the in-laws of the royal family. The child is ignorant and has caused some trouble. Your Highness does not need to be too harsh!"
"Huh?" Zhu Yunxi was greatly surprised, "Grandpa Huang really said that?"
"How dare you lie!" Pu Bucheng continued with a smile, "Your Majesty said, the children of military generals' families are wilder than others, and because they have high status, they will inevitably get into trouble because of their arrogance. But... Your Majesty also said it.
, This matter may be big or small, but His Highness still has to give them a memory. If those noble disciples don’t have a memory, they may cause even greater trouble in the future!"
The sun is rising in the west! What kind of happy event has the old man encountered, and he actually persuades himself to tolerate it?
Zhu Yunxi was surprised, and he understood after thinking for a moment.
In the final analysis, although these noble disciples acted nonsense and insulted the imperial officials, they did not do those things that harmed the people for no reason, which is not an unforgivable crime. If these bad boys are bullying men and dominating women,
That is the end of life.
Moreover, the people who are leading the trouble are the children of the Chang family. If Chang Yuan is dealt with harshly, the other noble children will not be able to do well. If it is really pursued, it will not be as simple as one or two people being convicted.
The country-destroying war of Goryeo had just ended, and these warriors and military princes all knew how to advance and retreat, and did not ask for any rewards. The old man did the same, reciprocating a favor. It was equivalent to the disaster caused by these heroes' children, and the credit owed to them was wiped out.
"Grandpa Huang is kind, these people don't need to lose their heads!" Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly, "Old Pu, are you done with Grandpa Huang?"
Pu Bucheng said, "The emperor is talking to Princess Ning Guo?"
"The second aunt has entered the palace?" Zhu Yunxi was even more surprised. This is really rare for someone who is young and unchaste.
Princess Ningguo was the legitimate second daughter of the late Queen Ma, and she married into the Hou Mei family of Runan. The consort Mei Yin was also in the Northern Expedition this time, and made great achievements under Wang Bi's command.
"Among the people making trouble today, are there any descendants of the Mei family?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Pu Bucheng pondered, "Your Highness, there are no children from the Mei family. However, among the noble children who caused trouble, there is a child from the Taiyuan Hou family. That child is the nephew of the consort!"
That's right, Princess Ningguo came to the palace to intercede on behalf of her consort! interceding for her husband's nephew!
No wonder, people all over the world say that my mother-in-law is the elder uncle. If something happens, my uncle is really helpful!
If someone else begged for mercy, the old man would probably scold him severely. But during the Spring Festival last year, the eldest princess, Princess Ningguo and others had a meal of dumplings made by them, which made the old man extremely soft-hearted.
"I know, you go back and report to Grandpa Huang, I will make those bad boys remember something better!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"My slave, please leave!" Pu Bucheng saluted, and just as he was about to leave, he whispered, "Your Highness, in this matter, Chen Zhixin, the Hanlin editor who went to the brothel, and Zhao Mian, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, have already been sent to the Inspectorate.
Prison. The emperor just got angry and said that officials read books from sages and sages, which is a role model for the world. It is against the law of heaven to not work in the yamen in broad daylight but to visit the brothels instead!"
Zhu Yunxi had already thought of this matter. The old man would never be lenient towards these officials who were immoral.
It must be that this time, everyone among the civil servants must be in danger again. Especially the group of people from the Hanlin Academy, and Liu Sanwu, a member of the Zhongshushe, who is Zhao Mian's father-in-law.
If Zhao Mian is convicted, Liu Sanwu will also be unavoidable! Maybe he will need an imperial edict to resign and return to his old age!
"Among the civil servants, Grandpa Huang has always valued Liu Sanwu very much. I asked him whether he would be a prince or a grandson. Why now, the old man seems to dislike him and is quite distant!"
Zhu Yunxi thought deeply for a moment, "As a result, the officials of Liu Sanwu's line gradually became speechless in the center, and were deliberately ignored by the old man!"
"Oh, the old man's hands look familiar!" After Zhu Yunxi figured it out, a smile appeared on his face, "The old man is leaving his eldest grandson to benevolent to these people in the future!"
After seeing Pu Bucheng, Zhu Yunxi slowly walked towards the side hall.
The Chang family's father and son were feeling uneasy, and when they saw Zhu Yunxi coming in, they knelt down again.
Just as Zhu Yunxi was about to speak, he found that the bastard came over in a hurry again, frowned and said displeased, "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness!" the bastard whispered, "The Marquis of Shenyang, the Marquis of Taiyuan, the Marquis of Jingchuan and other marquises are all kneeling and crying outside the palace with their children!"
"These bastards!" Zhu Yunxi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how to teach my son well. If something happens, he comes here to cry alone." He said, thinking for a moment, "Let them all get out, isn't it embarrassing enough?"
Then Zhu Yunxi ignored the Chang family and his son and sat directly on the main chair in the side hall with a gloomy face.
After a while, a group of people came roaring, led by a few veteran military commanders, dragging their sons who had been beaten all over their faces, and crawled in almost on their knees.
"Your Highness, I know you are wrong!"
The side hall, which was empty just now, is now noisy with people. Looking around, it is full of people kneeling, and the sound of crying can be heard in the ears.
"Your Highness, I brought this scoundrel to Your Highness to deal with him!" Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, stood at the front of the crowd with tears streaming down his face. "Although I only have three legitimate sons, the law of the country is important. Once Your Highness gives the order, I will do it with my own hands." Kill this beast!"
"Old killer!" Zhu Yunxi scolded, "What your son violated is the national law. The country has its own laws. What should I do with him?"
"If you really have this consciousness and the intention to kill your son, you can beat him to death right at home. Why would you come to me alone?"
"You have white beard and hair, and you still play these little tricks with Gu? A group of you came here to cry and complain. Do you really think that the law does not punish everyone? Do you really think that Gu will be soft-hearted?"
"Now that things have come to this, you are still playing tricks like this. Think carefully about whether you are used to the children in your family being like this!"
Under continuous shouting and questioning, these old military princes and the young men at home started crying loudly and kept kowtowing.
"As noble sons, you are so arrogant and domineering, but you still dare to insult the imperial officials!" Zhu Yunxi continued in a cold voice, "The imperial officials are ministers of the emperor, and you can't insult them lightly? Besides, you are just living. There is no meritorious achievement in the honorable family. This is a crime of the following, which is equivalent to killing an official and rebelling!"
"Today, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the Minister of Household Affairs who were involved in this matter have been imprisoned by the Inspectorate. The next step is the interrogation of the three departments. Do you think you people can escape by crying a few times? Go back and wait to die! "
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, stepped forward on his knees and cried prostratedly, "I have killed too many people in my life, and I have suffered retribution. I have many wives and concubines at home, but I only have the legitimate son of my third brother. My eldest son is in the army, and I will follow you bravely in this northern expedition." Kill the enemy, you also saw it."
"The second child is like a sickly medicine jar, which can be blown over by the wind. The third child has been naughty since he was a child, and this is the result of my incompetence in discipline. I beg Your Highness to give him a life! Old minister, I beg Your Highness!"
This old killer was bursting into tears, crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, which really made people feel a bit compassionate. What he said was true. His eldest son was a warlord who was willing to fight with his life, and the second son was always at home.
How to show up......
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "How come I remember that you seem to have more than a dozen sons? In this northern expedition to Korea, several of the guards around you are your sons. How dare you lie to me?"
"Except for the eldest, they are all concubines!" Marquis Jingchuan defended, "Your Highness, those are all concubines born to maids and concubines. I only have three legitimate sons, and each of them is my heartthrob!"
"Old Shacai!" Zhu Yunxi felt that his blood pressure was a little high.
These veteran generals in the army are like this. There are many wives and concubines at home, and the concubine is not taken seriously, but the legitimate son is regarded as a treasure.
"Your Highness, please spare me and wait!" The palace was filled with the cries of the military princes.
"Stand in two rows, father and brother on the left, and the person who caused trouble today is on the right!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly said loudly.
The hall was quiet for a moment, and then quickly divided into two lines as instructed.
"Since ancient times, it has been the fault of a son not to educate his father. If you people had taught your children well, how could you have developed such lawless tempers in them!" Zhu Yunxi scolded the ministers with a cold face.
When it comes to educating their children, military men are much worse than civil servants. These old killers know how to teach their sons to kill and set fire, and they will get a thousand taels of gold when the cannon goes off. When they are in a good mood, they will pamper their sons, but when they are in a bad mood, they will be punished with sticks.
"They are guilty, and you are also guilty!" Zhu Yunxi continued to scold, "You still have the nerve to come here to plead for mercy. You have already lost your face!"
"Tell yourselves, is it a serious crime?"
All the ministers in the palace were speechless and just squeezed their tears silently. Zhu Yunxi saw with his own eyes that the Taiyuan Marquis' big palm-like hands almost blinded him from crying in order to wipe the tears out.
"It stands to reason that they should all be killed to serve as a warning to others!"
After the words fell, everyone in the palace knelt down again.
"The founding father Chang Sheng!" Zhu Yunxi said loudly.
"I'm here!" Chang Sheng stepped out.
Now in his heart, he already hated these old military princes who imitated him and came to cry for help. Chang Yuan was the mastermind. If the Emperor Taisun really wanted to deal with these people, Chang Yuan would have to do more.
"You, take the other veteran military lords, and take off your shirt!"
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know why. How could Duan Duan ask everyone to take off their clothes?
"According to the order!" Chang Sheng responded, and then he pulled off his clothes three or two times, revealing his strong upper body.
For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of tearing clothes. The old killers took off their clothes in twos and fours, revealing scars that were crisscrossed and of varying depths, and extremely horrifying.
Especially those veteran killers, their chests were covered with traces of swords, axes and spears, and they were all ferocious. Some of them were like tumbling centipedes, winding around their chests.
"Look at the scars on your fathers' bodies!"
Zhu Yunxi suddenly stood up and shouted to a group of noble disciples who were making trouble, "Take a good look and ask them if they feel any pain!"
"Cao Lao San, look at this scar as big as a bowl on your father's chest!" Zhu Yunxi dragged the Cao family's mistress to his father, pointed at the scar and shouted, "Where did it come from?"
"I was stabbed by Chen Youliang's gun with a big gun!" Cao Zhen said in a low voice, "I lost several kilograms of blood that time and almost died!"
Cao Xiaosan, on the other hand, was shocked by the military scars on his father's body, and he opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Look at all of you, why are your scars on my chest?" Zhu Yunxi looked around at these noble disciples, "Only those who charge have scars on their chests. Your dad went into battle and never retreated in his life. This is how
You are a man, but you drink some horse urine and fight over a bitch, what kind of men do you think you are?"
The noble sons looked at the scars on their fathers' bodies and remained silent thoughtfully. The old military princes, who were naked in front of their sons, were a little embarrassed at first. But at this moment, they all held up their chests and showed off their merits.
"Your fathers had a narrow escape from death and crawled out from the dead to become rich and wealthy today." Zhu Yunxi continued loudly, "You unfilial sons are just ungrateful, and you want to bring disaster to them. You are really unworthy of a human being!
"
"What can you do?" Zhu Yunxi asked loudly in front of all the noble disciples, "Tell me, what are you capable of? What you eat, drink, wear, play and play with is all earned by your life."
"Without your military exploits, you are nothing! You have nowhere to go to beg for food!"
All the distinguished disciples bowed their heads in shame.
"If it weren't for your father's military exploits, you would have had your heads moved and your body in a different place by now!"
"Cao Laosan, are you still a human being?" Zhu Yunxi said to the legitimate son of the Cao family who was causing trouble, "Your father and your eldest brother led the charge in Goryeo, and the armor on your body was shot into hedgehogs by the Goryeo people. He is so old, what are you doing?
Isn’t it just to give you, unfilial sons, some more family property?”
"It's just that you don't live up to your expectations. If you cause trouble, you and I will also suffer misfortune. You will lose the title and official position that you have earned through hard work all your life!"
"Dad!" Cao Laosan looked at his father and cried, "My son is wrong!"
Cao Zhen looked at his son, suddenly raised his big hand and slapped his son so hard that his son was like a spinning top and blood spurted from his mouth and nose.
"I really want to hand you all over to the judicial department!" Zhu Yunxi snorted, "But if I kill you, your father will lose his soul!"
After saying that, he looked at the old military princes and said, "Gu, I will spare you one more time!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone was overjoyed and immediately knelt down.
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" Zhu Yunxi said loudly, "The founding father of the country is often promoted!"
"I'm here!"
"Chang Yuan is the mastermind of what happened today. He will be whipped fifty times, his name will be removed, and he will be sent to Yunnan to serve in the army of Duke Mu Chun of Guizhou Province!"
It is a trivial matter to be whipped and sent to the army when Chang Sheng is promoted, but it is like a thunderbolt to remove one's name and remove one's membership.
To remove Chang Yuan's name is to exclude Chang Yuan from the Chang family's genealogy, as if this person had never existed. From then on, Chang Yuan was like a lonely ghost.
"Reluctant?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, "If jade is not polished, it cannot be used. He will have his name removed and his membership will be removed, and he will be sent to serve in the army. If he is really a man, he will earn his own future and come back to tell the orphan. He is worthy of the Chang family name. He deserves it."
Now that I have the title of Prince and Grandson of Kaiping, I will let him re-naturalize!"
"According to the order!" Chang Sheng gritted his teeth, "Beast, did you hear what His Highness said? If you are the son of my Chang family, you will go to the army to earn a future by yourself. Get the title of a man immediately!"
"You!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the old military princes, "If you don't teach your children well, no one will be punished with a year's salary. Each of these scourges will be punished with thirty lashes. You can do it yourself. After the lashings are over, they will also be stripped of their names and will be sent to Yunnan.
