Father can be an enemy to the country

The prince kept his word and started reviewing the case without waiting for Lao Qi to recover from his injuries.

This time Lao Liu made the file extremely solid, so the review work went very smoothly. There was almost no need to add any additional materials or summon any witnesses to convict each case.

Years ago, he compiled the final case summary and conviction recommendations and presented them to his father for review.

Zhu Yuanzhang has super strong recovery ability. He is full of energy again and devotes himself to busy government affairs day and night.

But Zhu Biao grew up next to him, and he could still tell that his father was a little different... The original confidence that "there is no one like me in the world" is almost invisible in his father.

Boss Zhu keeps a straight face all day long, as if everyone owes him eight hundred dollars. When he was not in court, he would sit alone in the Wuying Hall reading and replying to posts, often without saying a word for a long time.

When the prince entered, Boss Zhu was writing something with his head down. There were no eunuchs serving in the hall, and there were no earth dragons. It was as cold as an ice hole.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the commotion, glanced up at him, and then continued to write rapidly.

Zhu Biao stood aside, waiting for his father to speak. He had already taken off his coat before entering the temple, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Put on some clothes." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered, "You're so young and can't stand the cold."

"Yes. My son is indeed far inferior to my father." The prince smiled bitterly and turned sideways to let Eunuch Wu put the cloak on his shoulders. "But no matter how hard my father resists the cold, time is not forgiving, so let's give birth to the earth dragon."

"No, we just want to freeze ourselves. I feel better when I freeze." Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, licked his hands and said, "Come here at this time. What's the important thing?"

"Yes." The prince waved his hand and presented a thick memorial, and Eunuch Wu quickly withdrew.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the memorial and saw that it was a report on the case of King Qi written by the prince himself.

After reluctantly reading the summary, he couldn't stand it any longer, and slapped the memorial on the case: "No matter how cold it is in the future, there is no need to light the stove, this is enough! Damn it! I was cold all over, but I didn't read it for a few seconds The roots of Page’s ears are burning.”

"It's really shocking..." The prince sighed and said, "Even worse than Lao Shi."

"He is much more serious than Lao Shi, okay? Lao Shi is mainly stupid, and secondarily bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly: "And he is purely bad, extremely evil! And Lao Ba and Lao Shi were all deceived by him. Damn it, he is the source of all evil in the Old Zhu family!"

"..." The prince's lips twitched, but he couldn't help but say something fair for Lao Qi: "If Lao Ba and Lao Ten have no problems themselves, they will not be taken advantage of by Lao Qi."

"Then he is also the culprit, the chief culprit!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice and turned to the final solution: "We knew you had to protect him again...ah? Hang Li Jue?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyes and read the prince's opinion again. He was sure that he should be executed by hanging instead of hanging in prison. The waiter was stunned and said: "Do you think you must die?"

"Death is necessary." The prince nodded painfully: "Not killing is not enough to make the people angry, not killing is not enough to uphold the law of the country."

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and rubbed his temples: "Don't let Da Shi know."

"Yes, father." The prince nodded slowly.

"Aren't you going to plead for him?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking again.

The prince shook his head. He came here after completing all the psychological preparation. He had already made up his mind and would not let up on Qingshan.

"Well, it seems that Lao Qi has indeed run out of energy..." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It is really unjustifiable that we spared Lao Ba and then spared Lao Ten."

"This has nothing to do with Lao Ba Lao Ten." The prince shook his head and said, "It's just because he is a heinous person. I really can't find an excuse to pardon him."

"He has committed too many evil deeds. If such a person is not put to death, who will be left with the death penalty?" The prince said with a painful expression:

"My son also wanted to sentence him to prison and give him a chance to reform. But he committed not one or two crimes, but hundreds or thousands; he committed not one or two murders, but a total of four hundred and eighty-eight. Twelve people! If such a demon has a chance to survive, then Ming Dynasty will be completely unreasonable. "

"Yes, it is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this, and finally made up his mind: "For a while, we have been looking through the history of the previous generations of royal families, and found that it was not uncommon for emperors to execute princes. We It’s not the only one, there’s nothing I can’t do with it.”

As he spoke, he picked up the ink pen and marked the verdict heavily.

~~

Boss Zhu works vigorously and resolutely. Since he has decided to execute Lao Qi, he will not be kept for the New Year.

Three days later, as the sun just set, His Royal Highness the Prince arrived at Dazong Temple and came to the courtyard where Lao Qi was imprisoned.

King Qi was originally very calm about his eldest brother's arrival, but when he saw the servants serving a sumptuous banquet, he couldn't remain calm.

But he still firmly believed that nothing would happen to him, and he thought that it would not be the end of his life, so he sat down, picked up his chopsticks, picked up his favorite food, and started chewing.

The prince didn't say a word, but silently picked up vegetables for him. He also carefully peeled off shrimp shells for him and put the whole shrimp meat on a plate and pushed it to him.

"Brother, how can you invite me to dinner so politely?" King Qi wiped his mouth after eating and drinking, and then he smiled and said, "Brother, don't you know that people in prison are most afraid of being invited to dinner?"

Without saying a word, the prince lifted the wine bottle from the thermos and poured a glass for Lao Qi himself.

"Drinking is even more unlucky..." King Qi was still joking: "It's like eating without food or drinking wine forever."

"..." The prince poured himself a glass and drank it. Fang nodded with difficulty and said, "You are right, that is."

"What?!" King Qi's first reaction was disbelief. He shook his head repeatedly like a rattle and said, "Impossible. Brother must have deliberately scared me to make me correct..."

"I made the decision to hang and stand, and my father has already made the decision." The prince sighed: "Today I am here to see you off as the eldest brother."

"No, you, are you serious?" Lao Qi's face gradually turned pale, and his teeth were chattering involuntarily. He had been flustered from beginning to end, and now he finally showed a look of fear.

In fact, Lao Qi was confident before because he relied on his identity as a prince and firmly believed that he would not die no matter how hard he tried.

Now that he heard that he was going to be executed, his reaction was even more unbearable than ordinary people...

I saw Lao Qi trembling first, then howling, vomiting out all the food and drink, kneeling down and begging the prince to let him go.

"Spare my life, brother, spare my life, I will change my ways... I don't want to die, brother, wuwu..."

"It's useless to say anything. Tomorrow is the day for you to hit the road. Don't worry, eldest brother has told them that they won't hurt you." The prince wiped away his tears and hardened his heart:

"As for your mother, concubine, Xian Yao and Xian Yu, you don't have to worry. I will take care of them for you, so you can go with peace of mind. You must be a good person in your next life..."
