Chapter 33 Zhu Xi kneels down and begs Lin Che for forgiveness "An innocent family background does not mean that you are a pure person!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and his tone became stern: "This son made false remarks on national policy during the palace examination, which insulted the power of heaven. It is a great favor from the emperor that he was not killed by the imperial staff!"
"I didn't expect that even though I was in prison, I could still bewitch the prince and confuse the public with my evil words. I really deserve to be killed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi's expression suddenly changed and he quickly kowtowed heavily.
"Father!"
"Although Mr. Lin talks about national affairs and uses extreme words, he really thinks about our country, Ming Dynasty!"
"Some of the bad policies he mentioned are not just speculations. They have been stated in the memorial of my son. I beg my father to be clear about it!"
The more nervous Zhu Ming became, the happier Lao Zhu felt and almost laughed out loud.
The bastard is finally convinced. No, we have to make him completely convinced.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked majestic and spoke seriously:
"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Don't think that because you are our son, we will pardon Lin Che."
"You know those treacherous remarks you made in prison, as well as your escape plan, are enough to make you die several times."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice and yelled:
"The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"
"You bastard, now that you can't protect yourself, you still want to plead for others?"
"I haven't shown my skills in a few days, but I actually came up with the idea of escape! Okay, you can show us the next one!"
Zhu Xi knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued his performance:
"Originally, I saw that Lin Che had some knowledge, and I planned to pardon him, but after you made such a fuss, I changed my mind."
"Father, please have mercy! It's all my fault, please don't blame Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Lin is completely unaware of Er Chen's plan and rejected Er Chen's proposal. You know this!"
After hearing this, Zhu Xi knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair, came to Zhu Xi, and looked down at him:
"Second brother, you have to remember that Lin Che was killed because of your unbridled speech!"
"You will be a vassal king in the future, not a commoner. You must control your mouth and don't say whatever you want. This will get you killed!"
As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was silence.
a long time…
Prince Zhu Biao was about to step forward to make peace, but was stopped by Queen Ma's eyes.
Tonight is a scene between her and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang's performance as the protagonist is wonderful, and her supporting role also works seamlessly.
The purpose of the two acting together is to subdue the stubborn Zhu Ming.
Even Zhu Biao, who has always been shrewd, was fooled by the superb acting skills of the two.
"Father..."
Zhu Xi was convinced by the training and raised his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang: "My son, I know I was wrong. I beg your father to spare Mr. Lin!"
"It's all my fault that I am ignorant and have caused trouble to Mr. Lin. I hereby promise my father that as long as my father pardons Mr. Lin, I will leave Qin immediately and will never make you angry again!"
"Father, please be kind!"
Seeing Zhu Xi kneeling there pitifully, Zhu Yuanzhang stood there expressionless, feeling happy in his heart.
This stubborn guy has never surrendered in front of him like this since he was a child.
Today, with the help of Lin Che, it is not easy to completely tame the wild horse of the Zhu family! However, the play must continue and cannot be abandoned halfway.
"enough!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face and waved his hand. "Come on!"
"Take this traitor back to prison and continue to reflect!"
"When it's time to reflect, let it go. When it's time to reflect, don't come out!"
After a pause, he ordered the guards who came in:
"Say hello to the people in prison, don't give them special treatment, let them suffer a little!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the back hall without looking back.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang left, Queen Ma and Prince Zhu Biao became Zhu Chong's life-saving straw.
Zhu Xi hugged his mother's thigh and cried: "mother!"
"Big brother!"
"You must save Mr. Lin! He cannot die! He is a once-in-a-millennium genius." "My child has been with Mr. Lin for more than half a month, and you know his abilities. You must convince your father to stay with Mr. Lin." One life!"
"My child knows that only you in this world can speak out to save Mr. Lin!"
Empress Ma was moved by Zhu Ping's persistence and reached out her hand to help him up.
"Second brother, I cannot forgive your filial piety for taking care of your father's worries. I will intercede with your elder brother for you later."
"You, don't make your father angry again. If your father is angry, just go back to prison and stay there for a few days."
"When your father's anger subsides, I will bring you back to my mother!"
After listening to Queen Ma's words, Zhu Ping got up and nodded solemnly:
"The boy knows."
He looked at Prince Zhu Biao again:
"Mom, brother, you must persuade your father to spare Mr. Lin's life!"
Queen Ma and Zhu Biao nodded at the same time.
Only then did Zhu Feng feel relieved. He bowed to the two of them and left with the guards.
Seeing Zhu Xi's figure fading away, Queen Ma turned around and shouted towards the back hall:
"Everyone is gone, just come out!"
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out with a smile on his face.
"Sister, we did a good job in this play! This bastard didn't realize it."
"Yes, you acted well, even we were brought into the play by you."
"The boss is so anxious next to me."
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily.
"Ah! Father, you are acting!"
Zhu Biao scratched his head: "My son was stunned and didn't notice it at all."
"Of course I can't let you see it. This bastard is a monkey. As long as you use the color a little, this bastard will be able to smell it right away."
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said proudly:
"This is a strategy that your mother and I discussed in advance. We're just afraid that if you know the inside story, you'll reveal the truth accidentally."
Zhu Biao had a wry smile on his face. In the eyes of his parents, did he protect his younger brother like this? Think about it, since Zhu Xi entered the imperial edict, how many things have he given away privately, and how much money has been stuffed into him.
No need to guess, you all know that you can't hide it from your father.
But he also knew that he had the tacit approval of his father for doing so.
On the surface, my father is picky about his second brother, but in his heart, he loves his second brother more than anyone else.
It's just to protect the emperor and it's not convenient to show it.
"Boss!"
Zhu Biao was thinking wildly when Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"My son is here!"
Zhu Biao quickly gathered his thoughts and bowed back.
"Draft an imperial edict immediately!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Empress Ma quickly saluted Lao Zhu.
"Your Majesty, my concubine will leave!"
Although Empress Ma has a deep relationship with Lao Zhu, she is a person who knows etiquette and knows that Zhu Yuanzhang never likes the harem to interfere in politics.
Generally, she chose to avoid matters involving government affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and watched Queen Ma walk out of Qianqing Palace.
Beside him, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, confused as to what he meant: "What are you doing, father, making decrees late at night?"
Seeing Zhu Biao standing there without moving, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to explain: "The second child's matter has been resolved, but it's time to make plans for Lin Che's proposed policy of focusing on agriculture, suppressing commerce, and banning maritime trade!"
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back, looking at the dark night sky and thinking silently.
……
at the same time.
Yingtianfu South Street, Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
The back door facing a remote alley opened quietly.
A man wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went into the night.
