Lu Wei immediately comforted him, "Your Majesty, please be at ease."
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin and Your Highness the Prince of Jin are both princes, no matter what. There are rules and regulations in the Imperial Ming Ancestor's Instructions, so it would be difficult to execute them lightly."
What Lu Wei said was actually not wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the protection of his descendants. Not only did he treat the princes very well, he also stipulated that once they were granted the title of prince or duke, they would not only be above all officials, but all officials had to kneel when they saw them. At the same time, they were given benefits equivalent to a golden medal of immunity from death, and would be given light punishments if they made mistakes.
Throughout history, there were many princes who plotted rebellion and made mistakes during the Ming Dynasty. In fact, most of these princes' titles were eventually passed down until the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It is because of Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart and ancestral teachings.
however.
Hearing Lu Wei's consolation, Zhu Yuanzhang's tense expression did not relax at all. Instead, he said anxiously, "He's different. This little wolf cub is really rebellious!"
In the past ten years or so, he may not have paid any attention to his grandson.
But before leaving Yingtian Prefecture, he spent a considerable amount of time with Zhu Yunhuan day and night.
At that time, he was in the coffin, and the little wolf cub followed the etiquette and stayed in front of the tablet outside from time to time.
He had seen a lot of this kid's true face.
He was disrespectful to gods and Buddhas, and had no fear of ghosts. He acted nonchalant in front of his "corpse" and spirit tablet, calling him "Old Zhu" all the time. He even took the tributes from the "dead man" to satisfy his cravings, and even pointed at his spirit tablet and sold his Ming Dynasty to the nobles of Huaixi... There are too many such examples to list.
Although the story of selling the Ming Dynasty to the Huaixi nobles was a lie, which of these things could a law-abiding and peaceful person do?
If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t even dare to think about it!
However, Lu Wei didn't know about these things. Instead, he felt strange and confused: "Huh?"
In his opinion……
Didn't His Majesty mention his "good grandson" every three sentences? His words showed his satisfaction. Moreover, many of the things His Majesty did in Yingtian Prefecture were the work of a wise, benevolent, and sage ruler.
How did this suddenly become heresy?
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Lu Wei, but clenched his fists and fell silent.
After a long while, his lower eyelid trembled.
"He will definitely kill the second and third brothers!" Thinking of the several times he was almost "angered to death" before, Zhu Yuanzhang asserted with certainty.
It is true that this little wolf cub can be called a wise king, a benevolent king, and a holy king.
But Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was never a person who stuck to the rules. On the surface, he looked harmless, but when he took action, he was quick, accurate and ruthless!
Let’s not talk about Huang Zicheng and his ilk.
Even Zhou Dexing, a childhood playmate of his royal grandfather, was killed cleanly and efficiently by this little wolf cub along with his entire family!
This ruthlessness is exactly the same as his own!
There is already solid evidence that the second and third brothers are rebelling and plotting treason. With his ruthlessness, he will definitely not survive.
Think of this.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt as if his heart suddenly jerked.
In the final analysis... these are all his sons. As an emperor, he cannot tolerate the crimes they have committed, but as a father, no matter how big the mistakes his sons have made, they are still his sons!
Especially since he just thought of Zhu Biao.
"We've lived to this age... Can we really watch helplessly as we lose our second and third sons after losing our eldest son?"
In terms of family affection.
His whole life seemed to be a loss.
In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly couldn't remain calm.
Lu Wei on the side felt that the emperor in front of him was a little too pessimistic, but he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. After a pause, he turned his eyes and looked at the pile of information in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.
"Your Majesty," he said, "Commander Jiang's intelligence always includes a final published version of the newspaper, as well as content from an issue later than the current one. After all, the Media Department must publish the newspaper in a timely manner, and much of the content must be written and edited in advance... Perhaps we'll see some news in the next issue of the newspaper?"
Being reminded by Lu Wei.
Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted, retracted his gaze, and immediately flipped through the pile of information in his hand.
Just as Lu Wei said.
There is an officially released version of the newspaper that I had seen in advance, which added relevant content about the vassal kings' rebellion, and another version is a preview version of the new issue of the newspaper that has not even been released by Yingtian Prefecture yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath.
He immediately flipped through the forward-looking version of the newspaper in his hand.
Treason is a big deal and will certainly occupy the headlines in newspapers, so Zhu Yuanzhang quickly found the relevant content.
And when he couldn't wait to take a look.
The light in his eyes seemed to dim, and his heart was completely dead: not only were the many crimes of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang in treason listed above, but even all the wrongdoings in the impeachment memorials he had received before were listed!
And there is also the final outcome of the treatment of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.
They will be executed immediately, their children and family members will be completely removed from the family tree and jade butterfly, and demoted to commoners! From now on, the court will never employ them again!
"We knew it! We knew it!!"
"This little wolf cub has evil intentions! The second and third sons rebelled against him. He is a heretic and willful, and he will definitely execute them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have lost some strength and went limp.
Lu Wei also widened his eyes in surprise. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Then, Your Majesty, do you want to reverse this matter?"
