Chapter 94 Three Crimes of the King of Shu

The urgent memorials from the Shu land were sent to Nanjing one after another, and now the corruption of the Shu land is well known.Although Zhu Chun's series of actions effectively contained the situation, only Zhu Yuanzhang knew about them.On the bright side, the entire territory of Xuzhou Prefecture fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, and there were as many as 10,000+ rioters, and CD Mansion was at stake. This is the general perception of the court.

"Play early if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do~" Lao Zhang shouted loudly on the imperial steps of Chengtian Palace, announcing the beginning of the morning court.

This is actually a piece of nonsense, let alone today, since Hongwu 26 years ago, which day will the early court retreat without any problems?It's okay, Zhu Yuanzhang can also find something for you.

Recalling the belly draft in his heart again, Xiao Xuewen, Minister of the Ministry of War, held an ivory board, came out more and more, bowed and said, "Xiao Xuewen, Minister of the Ministry of War, has something to play."

"Speak." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"The Xuzhou Prefecture suffered a catastrophe, and there were many mourners. The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation and made trouble. As far as I know, the entire territory of the Xuzhou Prefecture has now fallen into the hands of the White Lotus Sect. The situation is serious. In my humble opinion, I should send troops as soon as possible , to be suppressed, so as not to cause great changes.”

While Xiao Xuewen was talking, Zhu Yunwen was sitting on the seat not far from the left front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yunwen secretly winked at Huang Zicheng in the crowd below.

Huang Zicheng nodded slightly, and after Xiao Xuewen finished speaking, he also stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng, a servant of the East Palace and a walker at the Imperial Academy, has something to announce."

Seeing that it was Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "Speak."

Huang Zi clarified and coughed, and said loudly: "I want to impeach Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, for three crimes. I beg Your Majesty to listen."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen's side face meaningfully, and said with a playful smile: "There are three crimes? Huang Qing's family will play one by one."

"Observe the decree." Huang Zicheng reached out and took out a memorial from his sleeve, slowly opened it, and then read, "My minister Huang Zicheng, weeping blood to participate in the three major crimes of impeaching Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, the first crime: not cultivating virtue, causing natural disasters and man-made disasters in the land of Shu Frequently, there were earth dragons turning over in the front, floods raging in the middle, and white lotus cults in the back, stretching over 16 counties in the prefectural capital of Syria, and as many as 10,000+ people were affected. "Shangshu-Hong Fan" has a saying: "It's urgent, the cold is like ;Yue Meng, Hengfeng Ruo. That's why..." After a long passage of disturbing scriptures, Huang Zicheng went on to say, "Before, Your Majesty's benevolent and sage sent an edict to sin against oneself, and he has already obtained the grace of heaven. However, the White Lotus Sect Still raising troops to rebel, it can be seen that the king of Shu is not virtuous enough, so he summoned this army to cause disasters. This is the only crime."

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.The military commander was a little sleepy after hearing Huang Zicheng's ramblings, while the civil servants were afraid to express their views because Huang Zicheng's words were too sensitive.It was not the first time that he dared to impeach the vassal king, but it was the first time that he dared to start from the aspect of virtue.In the Ming Dynasty, if a person was considered to have bad morals, then this person would basically be abolished. Although it would not be possible to kill him directly, it was necessary to be cast aside by thousands of people.Put it on the head of the official, that is to dismiss the official, and put it on the head of the vassal. . .Everyone secretly looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair, then at the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen beside him, and then lowered their heads again.

"Second crime, I heard that Zhu Chun, king of Shu, likes slang words and operas on weekdays, and all the people he makes friends with are low-level actors and actresses. What's more, in the palace of the king, there is often a stage, and even he himself often wears a costume on the rain stage, regardless of the etiquette of dignity. How can such people be the masters of the people, and how can they replace the emperor and rule over the barbarians? The second crime."

"There's more." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Zicheng with some playfulness, his voice was unhurried, as if he was looking at a monkey beating a gong.

"Three crimes," Huang Zicheng didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, and continued to read to himself, "The king of Shu, Zhu Chunfu, ordered the CD mansion to be in charge of the military and political power of a place, and he has the responsibility of guarding the land and defending the people. But Matou In the Battle of the Mountain, the White Lotus Sect's treacherous tricks among the King of Shu resulted in the loss of seven thousand troops in the mountain fire, which left Shu with a shortage of troops, and gave the White Lotus Sect an opportunity to take advantage of this..."

A series of three crimes, referring to no virtue, no talent, and incompetence.

All the accusations seem to be baseless, but in fact they seem to make some sense. At least they are enough to fool the people.For example, the king of Shu was accused of being immoral. In this era of consensus between heaven and man, the emperor has already admitted his mistake, but the situation has not improved, and it seems that there is no problem in letting him take the blame.Another example is the charges of lack of talent and incompetence. The principles are similar.

"Enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, interrupting Huang Zicheng's eloquence.

"Your Majesty." Huang Zicheng was taken aback by Zhu Yuanzhang, quickly closed the folder in his hand, and knelt on the ground.

"Huang Qing's family," Zhu Yuanzhang got up and walked back and forth anxiously, "All 16 counties of Xuzhou Prefecture have been destroyed, and the imperial reinforcements have not arrived yet. The safety of Shu land is now entirely on the shoulders of the King of Shu. You! Huang Zicheng!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly pointed at Huang Zicheng who was kneeling on the ground: "What did you say? Immoral? The news blinded me! It is the plan of the king of Shu to besiege Mount Matou that I personally agreed to, how do you treat it?!"

"My lord...my lord..." Huang Zicheng was speechless and could only lie deeply on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally jumped out to take the blame for the king of Shu, and he was in the same boat.

A roar shocked Huang Zicheng.Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair heavily, and took two deep breaths: "Now that things have happened, the important thing is no longer the question of who is right and who is wrong. The king of Shu has done it before, but now the land of Shu cannot do without him." , The most important thing for the court now is to solve the problems that have arisen. Impeaching the King of Shu? Good. But even if I behead the King of Shu for public display, will the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect be quelled?! Stupid! Stupid! A bunch of idiots!"

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger." All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell to their knees.

"Kneel and kneel, you know how to kowtow! Is kowtow useful?!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice echoed back and forth in the golden palace.

Zhu Yunwen also got up and said in a low voice, "Emperor, grandpa, calm down, it's Yunwen..."

Just as Zhu Yunwen was about to speak out for Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly glared, frightening his subsequent words.

"Your Majesty!" Qi Tai, the left minister of the Ministry of War below, raised his head and said, "The White Lotus sect does not know the time of the day and has caused rebellion. I thought that the DPRK should quickly send elite soldiers and generals to Shu for support."

Li Guihe, Minister of the Household Department, also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are still more than 730 million taels of silver and more than 640 million dans of grain in the treasury of the Household Department, which can be allocated."

"Hmph." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Where has the money and food sent by the imperial court to Shu for disaster relief gone now?"

"Qi Zuo Your Majesty." Li Guihe thought for a while, and replied loudly: "The food and salaries for disaster relief have been escorted by Chang Bo, the left servant of the household department selected by the Ministry of official affairs, and now they have traveled to the border of Hunan."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Send six hundred miles in a hurry, and tell Chang Bo that the food supply is out of stock. If you go to Sichuan to trade rashly, it may be transported to the White Lotus Sect."

"Xiao Xuewen." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the Minister of War on the ground.

"I'm here." Xiao Xuewen kowtowed and responded.

"You will mobilize [-] troops to fight..." Zhu Yuanzhang paused and looked around at his subordinates.

'Who should we choose to lead the army? Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated.

Among the crowd, Lan Yu came out more and more, and bowed her head deeply: "I, Lan Yu, I wish to lead the army to wipe out the remnants of the white lotus in Shu for Your Majesty!"
