Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the prince, the list of Hu Party members finally announced was successfully reduced. Not only did Song Lian survive, but the three great scholars and Zheng Jiucheng, who had already become an official, were also removed from the list.
Their charges were downgraded from being members of Hu's rebel party to being very close to Hu Weiyong, giving and receiving private information, and they were sentenced to exile in the frontier. This was the limit of what the prince could do.
In the end, only eleven people were identified as Hu Party members and sentenced to death. The remaining officials were released one after another after a new record was made. Most of the officials were reinstated, but only a few who were found to have committed more serious crimes were just sentenced to death.
He was released from the Jinyiwei Yamen, but was taken away by the Ministry of Punishments and dealt with in another case. It was seamlessly connected.
The Di newspaper spread to Henan and other places, and Wu Liang, Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong and other nobles breathed a sigh of relief. The news that Hu Weiyong's previous rebellion failed frightened them so much that they could not sleep all night long.
Even though they talk about being "anti-his mother" all day long, when Boss Zhu is around, none of them dare to go beyond the boundaries.
They were all generals led by Zhu Yuanzhang. He knew very well that even if he rebelled against Boss Zhu ten thousand times, he would not win even once.
After Hu Weiyong was captured, these nobles did not have the courage to fight to the death. Besides, they did not have the strength. Boss Zhu sent them to local places to train troops, but did not give them military power.
Not to mention the commanders and envoys from all provinces, even the commanders and envoys below, Qianhu cannot rebel against them while Boss Zhu is still alive. Everyone is not tired of life, and no one wants to die in vain.
So in those days, whenever there was any disturbance, they thought that the imperial court had sent troops to arrest them. In panic all day long, several Tang Shengzong even wrote suicide notes and prepared to commit suicide out of fear of crime.
Fortunately, Boss Zhu cut the mess quickly and announced the list of Hu Party members within a few days. Seeing that he was not on the list, these guys felt a little relieved. But they did not dare to take it lightly, lest this was Boss Zhu's delaying strategy and they would deal with it after this period has passed.
them.
So they sent people to Fengyang to pay their respects to the Korean government. In fact, they wanted to ask Big Brother whether the situation had passed.
"Has this level passed?" Faced with the question relayed by Li Cunyi, Li Shanchang smiled bitterly.
Those younger brothers didn't know that he, the eldest brother, was actually not much better. He had been so frightened in the past few days that he had to change several pairs of pants one after another.
The first pair of pants was made when I heard that Hu Weiyong had really rebelled against me, and I was so frightened that I thought about the outcome of a narrow escape.
The second one is that I was frightened when I heard that Hu Weiyong’s rebellion failed.
The third article is that I heard that Boss Zhu arrested all civil and military officials and interrogated them severely, thinking that he was going to start a big prison and be widely implicated.
After receiving the Hu party's list, he thought it was over. Unexpectedly, he received an order the next day, ordering him to go to Beijing immediately for an audience.
Good guys, Article 4...
"I don't know whether it's bad or good to go here, how can I know if this pass has passed?" Li Shanchang sighed with self-deprecation, looking greedily at his manor, the pavilions and pavilions built with huge sums of money, and the winding water drinking glasses.
Once I go, I have no chance to see you again in this life.
"Brother, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Li Cunyi no longer had the courage to take revenge. He looked at Li Shanchang and said: "Hu Weiyong is still a man and has not implicated us. The emperor does not have conclusive evidence and will not touch our family...
…Bar?"
"Childish." Li Shanchang shook his head slowly. Although he had urinary incontinence in his old age and was a bit old-fashioned, his remaining intelligence was not comparable to that of Li Cunyi. "What kind of good intentions do you think Hu Weiyong has?"
"Ah?" Li Cunyi asked in confusion: "Didn't he keep his word and do what he said?"
"If one person is responsible for it, can he be responsible for it?" Li Shan laughed loudly and said: "He is treason, not murder. He can do it with a knife when he gets angry. Rebellion requires organization, planning, and change of dynasty.
Only with strength can he do it!"
"There are only three or two kittens on the list. They think they don't have enough manpower to rob a village, and they are planning to rebel. They are planning to rebel!" Li Shanchang said with a sad face:
"If the emperor went on a grand scale this time and killed tens of thousands of people, I would be able to feel at ease. But the emperor only killed so many people, how could he just settle the matter?"
"What, you're still going to make lists?" Li Cunyi was shocked.
"If it were you, if someone rebelled and only a few people were arrested, would you be able to sleep?" Li Shanchang asked.
"Well, it's true..." Li Cunyi nodded and said, "We must dig deeper to find those who rebel against the party, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well."
"Isn't this the end?" Li Shanchang sighed and said, "So this matter is not over yet."
"Then why is the emperor so anxious to close the case?" Li Cunyi asked in confusion.
"This is the viciousness of Hu Weiyong. Most people who plot rebellion will not care whether their comrades will be implicated if they fail. They wish that everyone would be buried with him." Li Shanchang saw Hu Weiyong's plan and said:
"Hu Weiyong did the opposite. He expected that his chances of success were slim, so he made great efforts to cover up his accomplices. In this way, even if he failed, his accomplices like you would not be exposed."
"Either the Emperor must go on an indiscriminate killing spree and kill everyone who has anything to do with Hu Weiyong." Li Shanchang said leisurely:
"Either you can do what you are doing now, hold your nose and admit it first. But once the seeds of suspicion are planted in your heart, they will quickly spread like weeds. The emperor is also suspicious. The longer he does not have an attack for a long time, the suspicion will spread.
The heavier the weight, the more everyone around him will become the object of his suspicion. In the end, he will have to kill them all..."
"Ah..." Li Cunyi's face turned pale. It turned out that his head was only temporarily saved and he would have to move sooner or later. "How long can the emperor hold it in?"
"Who knows, it could be as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years. It's possible." Li Shanchang shook his head and said, "It also depends on whether there are people who don't want to commit suicide. If they are honest all the time,
, as time goes by, the emperor may just let it go."
As he spoke, he looked worried and said: "But how can they all be honest? They are all a group of idiots like you who only care about food but not fights. They won't be able to stop for a few years and will fall back into their old ways."
"Then what should we do?" Li Cunyi, at least at the moment, was very frightened.
"There is nothing I can do. I can't even control my own brother, how can I control others?" Li Shan sighed and said, "This is a conspiracy that cannot be broken. We can only delay the arrival of that day as much as possible..."
"Then what is Hu Weiyong trying to do?" Li Cunyi stamped his feet angrily.
"I want the entire Ming Dynasty to be buried with him and his son." Li Shanchang glanced at Li Cunyi's right leg and said, "Is your leg healed?"
"Ah." Li Cunyi nodded blankly. Before he could react, Li Shanchang used all his strength to swing the dragon's head and hit him hard on his left leg!
With a whoosh - a click, Li Cunyi screamed and fell to the ground, hugging his left leg and yelling: "Ahhhh, it hurts me to death!"
He angrily asked Li Shanchang: "If you don't let me go out, just tell me, why do you keep breaking my legs?"
"To relieve my hatred." Li Shanchang leaned on his staff and looked at Li Cunyi coldly and said: "I have brought the old Li family to such a terrible state, and I can't even relieve my hatred by breaking all your bones!"
