Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"I have wiped out the eighteen tribes of the grasslands, and the Japanese have become a major threat to the Ming Dynasty. Now that I have attacked Japan, Yunnan has become a major threat to me again."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this and glanced at his ministers who were already worried.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

At a single glance, all the civil and military officials knelt down and knocked their heads to the ground.

"I am becoming more and more clear now. The biggest worry of the Ming Dynasty is not outside, but in the court, right here in the Fengtian Palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still ignored the actions of his ministers and talked to himself: "Look at these people, each of them is a talented person who has studied hard for ten years, and each of them is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. If we are a little rotten here, the Ming Dynasty will be rotten!"

"If everything here goes to waste, people from all over the Ming Dynasty will rise up and make us die without a burial place!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became sentimental for no reason as he spoke. He was clearly the one who started the uprising, and he knew this better than the ministers.

"I haven't slept for a whole day and night, and I've been thinking about what to say to everyone, but there has to be an end to this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this and finally fell silent.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, all the officials couldn't help but be moved and started sobbing.

Listening to the sobbing sounds that seemed to be moved, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold and he looked at them.

How many of these people have genuine feelings?

"I know I was wrong, and I am willing to die!"

The minister who was knocked to the ground by him had already accepted his fate of dying here today, and his head drooped weakly.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go alone."

Seeing that the man pleaded guilty, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and waved his sleeves.

Just hearing his words was enough to make the ministers tremble with fear.

"Your Majesty, I, Qi Tai, dare to ask Your Majesty to spare their lives."

Qi Tai glanced at the ministers around him who had already lost their courage, sighed inwardly, and stood up.

"Qitai?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qi Tai's voice, he turned around and looked at him in surprise.

From the very beginning, Qi Tai was not on his list of suspects.

He still has his own opinions on the character of his ministers.

Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru are both first-class scholars and can be regarded as role models.

"Your Majesty, please spare their lives!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond to his request, Qi Tai had to repeat what he had just said.

Now that he has stood up, he has already prepared himself mentally to die for his protest today.

"Qi Aiqing is speaking for these people, could it be that he is also in the same group with them?"

In the face of Qi Tai's advice, Zhu Yuanzhang just turned cold and stared at him.

Even if the person is a talent he values, he will not have the slightest intention of shielding him as long as he accepts bribes.

"I am not aware of this matter."

Qi Tai shook his head. Just because he spoke for these people didn't mean he had anything to do with the matter.

"I am speaking for the scholars of the Ming Dynasty."

As he spoke, he met Zhu Yuanzhang's oppressive gaze.

"Scholars..." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard Qi Tai's words. After laughing, his expression became even colder: "Scholars who are greedy for money and bully the people?"

If all scholars are like this, then these three words can be said to be extremely absurd.

"Your Majesty, their crimes are truly unforgivable. I only ask Your Majesty to spare their lives."

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Qi Tai remained calm.

In fact, he also hated these people, and all he asked was that Zhu Yuanzhang would not kill them.

"you……"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Qi Tai in anger, and for a moment he could not find any words to scold this upright minister.

In terms of fault, Qi Tai was not involved in this matter, but he should not be punished, and we cannot let him continue to be entangled in this matter.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare their lives."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, Fang Xiaoru also stood out from among the officials and looked at him with firm eyes.

Qi Tai had already stepped forward. As the head of all officials, he could not just stand by and watch.

"Mr. Fang Xiaoru, you are not going to talk about the lofty views of scholars all over the world, are you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's already unhappy mood reached a peak when he saw Fang Xiaoru also stand up. He could even feel the veins on his forehead throbbing.

These scholars have all turned the world upside down.

"Yes, I dare to ask Your Majesty to spare their lives on behalf of all the scholars in the world."

Fang Xiaoru nodded affirmatively, and even under Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, he did not retreat at all.

"Great, great, another one for the scholars."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out of anger and nodded repeatedly in anger.

"Your Majesty has killed many scholars in the previous major cases. If you kill all these scholars now, how many scholars will be available in the Ming Dynasty?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang laughing so abnormally, the other ministers were all silent and dared not make a sound.

Only Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru remained fearless and spoke righteously.

"If we kill them, will there be no one left in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but stare at the two of them and questioned them out loud.

"Your Majesty, please spare their lives."

No matter how Zhu Yuanzhang forced them, Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru insisted on this statement and refused to give in.

"Grandpa Emperor, no!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak when a childish voice came from the entrance of Fengtian Hall, startling everyone and making them turn around to look.

Zhu Yunwen held the door, looked breathlessly at Zhu Yuanzhang who was about to get furious, and spoke with a frown.

"Yun Wen, is this where you should be?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Zhu Yunwen who suddenly ran to the Fengtian Hall, frowned and scolded him.

But his attitude was much gentler than when he was facing the ministers.

"Go back quickly, the affairs of the court are not yours to interfere in."

He waved his hand impatiently and wanted to send Zhu Yunwen back.

He is very angry now and has no interest in playing with children.

Zhu Yunwen just waited until he had caught his breath, then strode into the Fengtian Hall and knelt in front of many ministers.

When he came, his mother had already reminded him that this was the time not to give in.

So he has made full mental preparations.

"What are you going to do?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunwen kneeling together with these ministers, his face turned cold and he spoke in a deep voice.

He also didn't expect that Zhu Yunwen, who had always been submissive to him, would stand up and disobey him today.

"Grandpa Emperor, Yun Wen asks Grandpa Emperor to take back his order and spare the lives of the adults."

Zhu Yunwen bowed his head to the ground and read out the words word by word.
