"Not good... Not good..." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly became a little worried and anxious, "They are a group of bandits. If you don't give them what they want, they will take it away!"
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was ten times more gloomy than Lu Wei's.
He saw and heard with his own eyes how Zhu Yunhuan deceived this group of people. He had promised them something in the beginning, but now he was warning them with such a severe punishment. Wasn't this a blatant provocation?
"This move is indeed pleasing to the people. It punishes the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty and can also deter those with evil intentions. However, we forgot for a moment that there is still a big gap in Yingtian Prefecture!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh and thought to himself that this was not good.
Then he immediately raised his head and looked at Lu Wei.
He asked anxiously, "Quickly take a look at what those bastards Zhang Yi, Cao Xing, and Zhu Shou did." There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he secretly hoped that these old bastards would not react so quickly.
Lu Wei glanced down.
Replied truthfully:
"When His Majesty issued the imperial decree to arrest the entire family of the Jinyiwei centurion, Marquis Heqing, Marquis Huaiyuan, and Marquis Zhulu were enjoying themselves. When they learned of His Majesty's drastic measures, they first sent people to temporarily halt the land grabbing and immediately went to the Duke of Liang's mansion."
"As for the Duke of Liang... he had been closed to visitors for quite some time, but on that day, the main gate was opened wide, and the generals from the Huaixi faction entered the Duke of Liang's mansion one after another to discuss matters."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply: "After so many years in the imperial court, no matter how reckless and careless one is, one must have learned a lot. None of these bandits are slow-witted now."
As he spoke, his gray brows furrowed even more tightly.
Originally, he still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that these reckless men would not associate this mining case with themselves. Now it seems that these reckless men have also made progress.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
He said with a worried look on his face, "It's because we're too impatient and think too simply. Even if many people here are still as reckless and careless as before, there will always be one or two who will react."
But when he whispered.
Lu Wei's slightly excited voice came from my ears:
"Your Majesty, please don't worry for now. The Duke of Liang, the Marquis of Heqing, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, the Marquis of Zhuolu, and the other dukes and generals who gathered to discuss matters... ultimately didn't get angry! They all simmered pots, ate, and drank at the Duke of Liang's mansion before dispersing late in the afternoon."
"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze. He was a little confused when he heard this unexpected turn of news. In his opinion, Zhu Yunhuan had already opened fire on them. How could this group of people tolerate it?
Lu Wei had never expected this.
With such a tense situation, considering the identities, status, and power these people hold... he wouldn't be surprised if they went to the palace to interrogate the young emperor next - because they were truly capable! And truly courageous!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang’s confused look.
Lu Wei took the intelligence in his hand and took another look at it, feeling a little unsure. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded to Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Your humble servant has read it again, and I am sure I am not mistaken!"
"This is good news!" Zhu Yuanzhang's worried expression faded, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Although this problem is certainly there, and Yunhu will have to face it sooner or later, this matter can be delayed for a moment longer. At least... he can have more time to breathe."
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously, "Did you tell me what happened specifically?"
Lu Wei shook his head. "The Duke of Liang's mansion is heavily guarded. Apart from the dukes and generals who are on good terms with him, not even servants are allowed in to serve him during the conversation. Commander Jiang has no idea what was said."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have expected this.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "The princes and nobles of Yingtian Prefecture all know that I have means and intelligence spies in Yingtian Prefecture, so naturally they will be more cautious in everything they say and do."
