Factory owner is king

Chapter 135

Chapter 135

At the winter banquet on the 28th of the first month of the 28th year of Hongwu, Ying Guogong Fu Youde first killed his two children and then committed suicide just because of Zhu Yuanzhang's pointed reproach during the palace banquet.

That night, Dingyuan Hou Wangbi, former Lan Yu and Fu Youde's confidant and beloved general also drew their swords and committed suicide in the mansion.

There is actually no such tragic play in Zhu Yuanzhang's script.Yes, he wanted Fu Youde and the others to die, but he didn't want to watch them die with his own eyes, because it would collapse the "archway of chastity" he had prepared for himself in the history books.

The world can be deceived, but one's own heart cannot be deceived.Zhu Yuanzhang knew best in his heart that from the beginning to the end, he was sorry for these old brothers who fought together in the world back then, but he had no choice but to choose the former in the oath of eternal life and death with his brothers in the Ming Dynasty.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to leave a good reputation in the history books among the people all over the world, but unfortunately God did not give him this opportunity. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he still wants to find some excuses for treason, no one will believe him anymore. His "chaste memorial archway" has been washed away by blood and has been floating into the stinky ditch.

The last fig leaf on the wise and mighty Emperor Hongwu's face was torn off, and the words mean and unkind would definitely accompany him for the rest of his life, and they would not disappear even when he died.

"Well, since the face is gone, then I don't want this face anymore." Just before going to bed, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood: "Old Zhang, pass the order to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, don't say any rules, except for that Except for a few people, kill them all the way, leaving no one behind."

"Yes."

Originally thought that the killing had come to an end, but as soon as it stopped, the spin started again. The only difference was that this time, the charges against these prisoners by Dongchang and Jinyiwei were simpler and more direct.

"Treason", two words, no evidence of guilt, no trial, not even a decent confession, a piece of blank paper, a few lines of ink, and a red handprint are the proof of pleading guilty and submitting to the law.After arresting a person, he would be beheaded every two days, and his family members would either be sent away, or thrown into the Jiaofang Department, or they would all be beheaded. There would never be a good end.

. . . . . .

In the patter of rain,

In the Dongchang Yamen, Xu Ruyi and Yun Zheng sat opposite each other, quietly sipping tea, and neither of them spoke.Not to mention, listening to the sound of rain, drinking fragrant tea, and the steaming mist can bring you rare tranquility in winter.

"dong dong dong"

"come in."

Accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, Tianyou, the new boss of Dongchang, pushed the door open and entered.

Xu Ruyi glanced at him and narrowed her eyes: "There is blood on your body, did you do it?"

"Report to Governor." Fang Tianyou knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and replied, "Song Guogong Feng Sheng led two hundred generals in the mansion to resist stubbornly, and all of them have been beheaded by his subordinates."

"Total?" Xu Ruyi wondered, "Feng Sheng died too?"

"Yes."

"Hmm..." Xu Ruyi thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Forget it, if you die, you'll die. Just find someone and chop it on the execution ground. Smear a little more blood on your face, and your hair is disheveled." Who can tell. Ordinary people, it's always the best to fool." Picking up the teacup, he took a sip and said, "Get up, I've been busy all night, come and have a cup of tea to warm up."

"Thank you, Governor, for your kindness." Fang Tianyou got up and sat down at the table, turned up a teacup, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"The tea color is clear, the green leaves are undulating, the best Biluochun." Fang Tianyou praised.

"He knows the goods." Xu Ruyi nodded: "How is the injury?"

"Return to Governor, the subordinate's injuries are no longer serious." Fang Tianyou replied respectfully.

"Well, it's fine." Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "Your injury is just right, so our family asked you to come out to work, so that you can show your face in front of your brothers as soon as possible. I heard that Feng Sheng was born in the martial arts in his early years. It's really not easy for you to take him down, how many people did we hurt?"

"Uh..." Fang Tianyou hesitated and replied honestly: "160 three people died and 210 eight people were injured."

"1000 people to go, so many losses, brothers still need to practice more." Xu Ruyi shook her head: "This Feng Sheng, it's true, the emperor has long understood that he wants to kill him, cool He pretended to be blind when Duke Guo rebelled, and pretended to be a tortoise when Duke Ying died. Our family thought he had already seen it, but we didn't expect him to be a wolf with a big tail. We don't know how he became the Song Guogong. "

"Supervisor." Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "The list you gave at the beginning is basically killed now, and there are more than 100 miscellaneous fish left. Look..."

"Are there more than 100 left, hold on tight, and just kill them." Xu Ruyi waved her hands nonchalantly: "Is there any movement in Dead Man's Lane and Ji Gang?"

Yun Zheng thought for a while, and said: "The Lane of Dead People has started to teach people some superficial internal skills according to your order, the governor. Every seven days, there will be a special person to look at it. Anyone who finds a talent that can be created will be carefully cultivated. In the past two months, some people in the rivers and lakes have wanted to join our East Factory. They were all incompetent or had other purposes. After the subordinates told them the rules, most of them left, but there are still some people who are willing Give yourself a knife and stay."

"They also took the Three Corpse Brain Pill?" Xu Ruyi wondered.

"Eat." Yun Zheng nodded: "According to the governor's order, I didn't give them all. I only gave them a few really powerful people. Like the dog-faced judge Gou Xiaoyun, the smiling-faced diamond-skinned iron heart, and the ogre. Deng Gaoming also has a six-armed Yan Luo Dongfanghan."

"Have you heard of them?" Xu Ruyi looked at Fang Tianyou.

Fang Tianyou nodded: "A well-known name in the underworld."

"How is it better than the old devil with a snake heart? What about others?" Xu Ruyi suddenly remembered the underworld leader who was at Fengyun Manor back then.

"It's hard to tell. I killed you." Eight words answered Xu Ruyi's two questions.

"It's very powerful." Xu Ruyi nodded: "You are the leader of my east factory, and the four of them will be behind you as the second, third, fourth and fifth leaders. It's up to you whether you can settle them. When you look back, remember to bring me to recognize my face."

After a moment's pause, Yun Zheng spoke again: "Ji Gang has been very happy in the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town for a few months. In two months, he has jumped from a hundred households to the position of being in charge of thousands of households, and has entered the position. Jin Yi also knows Song Mingguang's eyes. Although he said privately that he is still willing to listen to our Dongchang's instructions, in the opinion of his subordinates, he is probably a wolf."

"It doesn't matter," Xu Ruyi waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Ji Gang is born to be a rebellious person, but he is also courageous and ruthless. Our family already knows about this."

"Then why are you Governor..." Yun Zheng was puzzled.

"Why did you send him to Jinyiwei?" Xu Ruyi laughed loudly, "Because in the future, my East Factory will always have someone to sing a rival show."

. . . . . .

Feng Sheng, the last remaining Duke of Song among the founding six kingdoms, also died. After all, he still did not escape the sword.For the sake of the future of the empire, Zhu Yuanzhang sent old friends one after another to hell. It seems that the "Rebellious Officials Record" that he personally reviewed at the beginning can finally come to an end.

Um, no, there is also Xin Guogong Tanghe, let’s take another look, playing with eagles all day long, don’t be caught by the eagle’s eyes.

Dressed in civilian clothes, Zhu Yuanzhang led Lao Zhang and several guards to meet the last threatening person in the backyard of the Xinguo Mansion.

"Tang He?" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little confused. Tang He had been ill at home for a month, and Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't seen him for a month. When we met again, Tang He had simply changed his appearance. The rickety old man in front of him was really his impression. The old brother in ?

"Your Majesty..." After slowly kowtowing on the ground, Tang He raised his head and looked up at the Supreme Being in front of him.

"I... I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a shy voice, "You should get up first."

"Your Majesty..." Tang He didn't get up, but still looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang with that gaze. . .It was very complicated. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. He could only make a final plea through his own humility, begging His Majesty the Emperor in front of him to save his life.

Are you really not leaving any?

Taking a deep look at Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, lifted his hem, and sat down on the ground, sitting in front of his old brother: "Old Tang, what's wrong with you, I'm just here Look at you, talk to you, why are you kneeling on the ground and can't get up, your legs are numb?"

Seeing the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, Tang He heaved a sigh of relief, barely evoked a smile, Tang He replied: "The minister's legs and feet are not straight, let Your Majesty laugh." After finishing speaking, he reluctantly crossed his legs and sat up.

"A beauty with a white head, a hero is late, you and I are old." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I still remember when I took a knife to join you in the camp of Marshal Guo, and Marshal Guo almost chopped down the sacrificial flag. You arrived just in time to take me over.

At that time, you were already a commander of a thousand commanders, and I was only a commander of nine commanders, and you appointed me the title.

With all the benefits, you always think of me. You are worthy of being a well-known benevolent and righteous man in Fengyang.Now that the world is at peace, all the old brothers are almost gone, and I. . .Very lonely. "

Using the word "I" to call himself, at least when he said this sentence again, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer Emperor Hongwu, but the Zhu Chongba that Tang He was familiar with.

"Your Majesty..." Tang He almost shed tears.

"Look at you, I didn't say anything, you just look like this, where is the brave and brave king?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and pushed Tang He's shoulder.

"Hehe, I am old and old, but I am laughing at Your Majesty." Tang He scratched his head, and then joked: "In front of you, the real dragon emperor, my tiger is just a kitten, Your Majesty, you already know of."

"Hahahaha..." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "If my Duke Xin of the Ming Dynasty is a kitten, wouldn't everyone else be a little mouse? You, you, when did you become so naughty?"

"Your Majesty, Lao Tang was like this in front of you when I was young, and it's not like you don't know it."

"Hey, there's something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. It just so happened today, Lao Tang, can you help me solve the confusion in my heart?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me, Laotang I...cough cough...knows everything..cough...speaking, endless words. Cough cough cough" He patted his chest pretending to be proud, but he unexpectedly coughed.

Lao Zhang, who was standing behind him, hurriedly brought a bowl of hot water, helped Tanghe to drink it slowly, and Tanghe finally stopped coughing.

"Old Tang, my body is finished, and His Majesty laughed at me." After coughing for a while, Tang He's voice sounded hoarse.

"Not in the way, not in the way." The guarded look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes finally completely disappeared.

"Your Majesty, you just wanted to ask..."

"Oh, I just want to ask you...why did you treat me so respectfully when I was in Marshal Guo's camp?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with some doubts: "I was down at the time, so I went to join you. I am tall, and I am still a commander in the army, but whenever I walk in the same place, I always follow behind me, and others laugh at you secretly, but you are still like this, what did you think at that time?"

"Well, actually, I don't know what I was thinking." Tang He himself seemed a little confused, recalled for a while, and then laughed: "I'm not afraid of your majesty's jokes, I, I was probably just afraid of you at that time."

"Afraid of me? What are you afraid of me?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid you'll hit me." Tang He Tantan put his hands on his hands and also laughed: "When we were young, we had two children, Xiao Tiechui and the others, who herded cattle together. You were always the king of children among us, and the one from the East Village You are also the fiercest one when the gang fights. You have been a cowherd boy in Fengyang many times. Your Majesty, you are also famous as a bully. Do you think I can stop being afraid of you?"

"Er Wazi, Little Hammer..." Zhu Yuanzhang murmured: "Is there any news about them later?"

"Dead, already dead." Tang He sighed: "When your parents left, you went to Huangjue Temple alone to become a monk. The two of them offended the steward of Liu Papi's family and were beaten to death. , I wanted to avenge them at the time, but in the end, I was arrested by the government and repaired the embankment by accident, this is fate."

"It's all fate." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh when talking about his childhood suffering.

"Grandpa... Your Majesty asked me to tell you that it's time to take your medicine." Not far away, a doll with pigtails and a flowered jacket lay unsteadily at the door, looking at Tang He.

"Your grandson?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the boy lovingly and asked.

"Your Majesty is laughing, you are only six years old, and you still don't know how to behave." Tang He said to Xiaotong, "Go and tell your mother that Grandpa is talking with the Emperor."

"Forget it, that's it, I just came to see you. You take good care of your illness, we old brothers don't have a few years to live, so you stay with me... let's go on this last journey." Patting Tang He's thin shoulders, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, turned around and left again: "Don't always sit on the ground, the ground is cold, be careful not to damage your body."

"My lord, I would like to send you your majesty's greetings. Long live my emperor."

That night, Jiang Huan, the commander of Jinyiwei, died suddenly in the mansion. Quietly, the Lanyu case, one of the four Hongwu cases, came to an end after nearly 10 deaths and injuries.
