Chapter 58 The reckless King of Zhou!
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
He was already in a bad mood, but now that his stupid son, Lao Wu, came to complain to Xia Zhibai, he became even more angry and completely exploded.
Zhu Biao was also taken aback by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden anger.
Looking at the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang threw on the ground, Zhu Biao hesitated and picked it up lightly.
Zhu Biao glanced at it briefly and couldn't help but feel a headache. When he heard his father's anger, he had already guessed something. But when he actually saw the content of the memorial, he secretly shook his head.
This is what my fifth brother did.
Zhu Tie learned about the results of the general examination in Kaifeng, and he had obviously had contact with Xia Zhibai in the past. He believed that Xia Zhibai was a talented person and had outstanding talent, so it was impossible to fail.
So after hearing that there was no Xia Zhibai in the top three, he wrote directly to his father, complaining about Xia Zhibai, and even wrote in the document that there must be unfairness and fraud in this imperial examination, and he asked his father to go to the stern check.
Beyond that.
The memorial was full of praise for Xia Zhibai, and he also mentioned that he and Xia Zhibai collaborated to compile a book "Herbal Medicine for Relief from Famine".
Looking at what Zhu Xi wrote, Zhu Biao felt his scalp numb.
My fifth brother is really brainless.
If someone really dared to cheat in the imperial examination, how could my father not know about it and still need his reminder?
Furthermore, my father was already annoyed with Xia Zhibai, and my fifth brother came to intercede with Xia Zhibai and even praised Xia Zhibai. Isn't this like hitting the muzzle of a gun?
What made Zhu Biao even more speechless was that Zhu Xi also praised the "Materia Medica for Famine Relief" compiled by himself.
The book has not been delivered yet, but Lao Wu has already written the general content in it. He went to ask the local people and some literati, and learned that the war in the north had just stopped and the people had not yet been able to recuperate.
Local people live a hard life, and it is common for them to eat brangrass. Many people also make a living by eating wild vegetation.
Under Xia Zhibai's suggestion, the two of them worked together to compile a book to tell the people which plants can be eaten, which barks can be eaten, and which grass roots can be eaten, so as to try their best to living people.
But can these words be said?
What the courtiers reported was that the Ming Dynasty was in good weather, the country was peaceful, the people were happy, and the people were happy.
A commoner from Lao Wu still eats tree bark and grass roots.
Isn’t this going against your father?
Zhu Biao scratched his head and had a headache. How should he excuse his fifth brother?
It’s so brainless and so blind.
However, this is Zhu Rui.
Pig brain.
Whatever comes up comes out.
What you do is completely out of your mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, furious: "Xia Zhibai, Xia Zhibai, our Ming Dynasty only has this Xia Zhibai?"
"He is a talented person, can he be the only one?"
"A fool like Lao Wu came to intercede with Xia Zhibai, asking us to re-examine the imperial examination, thinking that it is impossible for Xia Zhibai to fail. "
"That's not true!"
"Does he still think of me as a father?"
"You bastard."
"Come here, take the whip we used to drive the cattle. Go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately and whip that bastard to death. No one is allowed to come back until the whip is broken."
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
The whole person can no longer suppress the fire.
If Zhu Ru was in front of him, he would have wanted to do it himself and beat Zhu Ru to death.
Hear the words.
Zhu Biao hurriedly advised: "Father, the fifth brother does not know what happened in Yingtian Mansion. He was just out of pity for his talents, so he contradicted and offended his father. I believe that the fifth brother did not mean it, and the fifth brother does not have such a mind. Father, please calm down."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao and shouted: "You still speak for him?"
"Since he already knew about Xia Zhibai, why didn't he kill Xia Zhibai? Tell us about Zhibai earlier?”
“We feel that he and Xia Zhibai are in the same group!”
“He is dissatisfied with us!”< br>
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
Of course I know this is angry talk. If the other brothers had this idea, he would believe it, Lao Wu? It's absolutely impossible, he doesn't have the brain.
Zhu Biao said: "Those who do not know are not guilty."
"The fifth brother is simple and simple, it is impossible for him to have such thoughts, and the fifth brother has always respected his father the most. , How dare you do such a thing?”
"The only possibility is that it was calculated."
"Please forgive me, father."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
He also calmed down. He naturally knew that with Lao Wu’s stupid brain, he could only be plotted, and could not actively plot, let alone disgust himself.
It was just that he was feeling aggrieved and angry. After a while, he seemed to have been separated from his relatives, and everyone was talking about him.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stretched out five fingers: "Fifty lashes."
"Not even one lash is missing."
"Don't open Lao Wu's buttocks." , We can’t swallow this breath, and by the way, let’s ask Lao Wu if he will accept the fifty lashes we give him.”
“If he dares to shout that he is not convinced, let us continue to whip him!”
< br>“Play until you take it!”
"In addition, send an order to Lao Wu."
"We want him to write down all his contacts with Xia Zhibai and send it over."
"Dare to miss a little bit."
“What we are giving is not a whip.”
“But a knife!”
"My son, I would like to thank my father on behalf of my fifth brother." Zhu Biao breathed a long sigh of relief and said quickly.
Just save your life.
That's all he can do.
My father is very angry now, and no one can persuade him.
Zhu Biao put the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang had thrown on the ground back on Zhu Yuanzhang's table, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Father, I think this "Herbal for Relief of Famines" may be worth using."
"Not long ago, there was a flood in Shouzhou Prefecture, and many people were displaced. If this "Herbal for Famine Relief" is really useful, it may be able to save many people." My brother prepared several copies of "Herbal Medicine for Relief from Famine" and distributed them to Shouzhou Prefecture. I thought it should be wiped out."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned cold, he thought for a moment, and nodded, saying: "You go down and take care of this, we don't have any hope anymore."
"Just don't make us mad to death."
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and did not dare to say a word.
A lot of things happened during this period. My father was really angry in various ways, and he was stabbed in the back by Lao Wu, so this person was Lao Wu.
Otherwise, everyone would have died long ago.
Zhu Biao walked out of the hall with his hands slightly raised, and reminded the eunuch who was passing the message, asking them to pay attention to the severity and not to really hurt Lao Wu.
After being disturbed by these two things, Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost interest and left the hall directly.
He went to Wuying Hall and asked the imperial chef to prepare some food in advance, preparing to meet Tang He there.
With so many ministers in the DPRK, the only one he can trust now is this old brother.
No one else can.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not wait too long. When the sun rose in the east, Tang He rushed to Wuying Hall with a hurried expression.
Enter the palace.
Tang He bowed respectfully, not daring to be rude in any way. After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, he followed suit and approached Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, Tanghe."
