Gao Guifei's tone suddenly became excited!

The main reason was that Zhu Yu actually wanted to hide the truth from her, her own mother, which made her a little angry!

She also knew that none of these noble families were good people and they deserved to die, but they couldn't just confiscate their property and exterminate their clans without solid evidence! ??

Who doesn't have some nepotism behind these noble families?

Maybe one of their relatives is an official in the court!

And even if these noble families are guilty, even if there is solid evidence, the conviction is the court's business, not to mention the confiscation of property and extermination of clans!

Zhu Yu was just stepping into the shoes of someone else and breaking taboos! What she was afraid of was that someone in the court would directly make a fuss about this matter! .

Those civil officials always make a big deal out of trivial matters, not to mention that Zhu Yan's case is not a small one!

Although the princes govern their own fiefdoms and have the authority to question cases, Xi'an Prefecture is not Zhu Yan's real fiefdom after all!

And if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, what would he think? Would he have any bad opinions about Zhu Yan?

To be precise, the reason why Concubine Gao was so worried was not because she felt sorry for those aristocratic families whose families were confiscated and their ancestors were destroyed, but because she was simply afraid that he, Zhu Yan, would become the next Qin Wang Zhu Chong!

"Mother, don't be angry!"

"I know this matter well. Even if the emperor knows, he will definitely stand on his side!"

"Don't you know what kind of temper he has?"

"And this salt tax law was promulgated by the emperor!"

Zhu Yu looked at Concubine Gao's anxious look. Although he was a little helpless, he was worried about himself anyway, so he could only persuade her helplessly! "You said it lightly, do you know that you are causing trouble for yourself?"

Concubine Gao glared at Zhu Yu unhappily! "Mother, what do you think the Ming Dynasty should rule the country?"

Zhu Yu smiled bitterly, helped Concubine Gao sit down, and sat down with her!

My mother was angry, so naturally, as her son, she was easy to coax! "Of course it's the people's livelihood. The people are the foundation of the country!"

Noble Concubine Gao spoke without thinking.

"Yes, mother is right!"

"But first, we have to figure out what the people are!"

"Who are the people?"

"Are the nobles and gentry the people, or are the local sages the people?"

"Are the wealthy businessmen considered the people? Are the families of the nobles also considered the people?"

Zhu Li asked seriously.

"As long as they abide by the law, they are naturally the people!"

Noble Concubine Gao frowned and answered as a matter of course.

“Yes! That’s right.”

“But since ancient times, the word “people” has always been a panacea. As long as the dignitaries in the court need it, they can immediately use it. They all shout for this people and that people., but who are they for?"

"Oh, they are definitely not for those poor civilians who work in the fields every day and cannot read!"

"After all, the poor civilians are illiterate. Even if these people want to say good things about Emperor Hongwu, they can't write it. Even if the old man lets them sue the officials at will, the officials will protect each other. Who can speak for them?"

"Of course there are people in the court who plead for the people, and what mother saw was written by another group of people who are nominally called the people, but in fact they are the elite class!"

"But what did these people write? For example, collecting business taxes is called competing with the people for profits, and the servants of the bad gentry are making trouble everywhere. Some people say that this king's evil punishment has aroused civil unrest!"

"Also, many gentry families cried out for injustice and public resentment after their illegally annexed land was confiscated. The families of the local sages were arrested for breaking the law and called it harsh politics and oppression of the people! ”

“Of course, some local officials want to do something practical, but if they affect the interests of the gentry, it is called officials bullying the people!”

“In short, whoever’s cake is touched is the people!”

“After all, those who can make a voice known to the dignitaries in the court are definitely not those poor people!”

“The real people are just mud legs. In the eyes of the dignitaries, can the mud legs still be considered human beings?”

“The son also knows that the old man loves the people like his own children, but he can only see the people he can see. In many places, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The real people don’t even know what the old man looks like!”

“Other places, the son can’t manage, but as long as it is in this northwest, the son will manage!”

Zhu Li said calmly.

“Alas! ”

Hearing Zhu Yan’s series of responses, Concubine Gao sighed helplessly!

Everyone can make sense, and she did not deny that Zhu Yan was right!

But some things cannot be solved by just making sense! And what he is most worried about is not this!

“Yan’er, I understand what you said, but what I am most worried about is how your father will look at you after he knows about this matter?”

Concubine Gao reminded helplessly.

“Don’t worry, mother. When my father really asks for punishment, I will take the initiative to admit my mistakes!”

“My son has written the letter of apology. As long as I admit my mistakes, my father will not do anything to me! "

Zhu Yu's tone was relaxed, and he continued to smile.

He also knew that his mother was just worried about him!

However, Zhu Yu also knew that as long as he didn't do something that was against the will of heaven and earth, the old man would at most say a few words to him!

Zhu Yu was still very accurate in this regard!

Not to mention how many evil things Qin Wang Zhu Chong had done in his fiefdom, could the old man really kill his own son directly? Speaking of double standards, the old man is definitely the most double-standard among all the emperors in all dynasties!

Of course, the old man loves the people.That is true!

After all, the Ming Dynasty is also a huge foundation that he has worked hard to build!

The old man also climbed up to this position step by step from a poor commoner!

But loving the common people does not mean that the old man can treat his own son equally!

Human nature is selfish!

The old man's love for the common people is based on the fact that the Ming Dynasty is under the surname Zhu!

From this point of view, the position of the Zhu family in the old man's heart is definitely above the common people, not to mention that it is his own son!

In the end, Concubine Gao still couldn't turn Zhu Yan around.

After all, he is her own son, and she can only scold him a few words at most. It is not necessary to really do anything to Zhu Yan because of this matter!

Even if what Zhu Jian said was all perverse, Zhu Yuanzhang's current attitude towards Zhu Jian should be reassuring to Concubine Gao!

I hope this matter will not have too much impact on Zhu Jian!

But there is one thing that even Concubine Gao has to admit.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang is very tolerant in dealing with his son!

Even if he scolds him so much, he would not be able to do anything to his own son! I am afraid that the things Zhu Jian did would not really make Zhu Yuanzhang angry! "You, you better be careful!"

"In fact, mother has always wanted to tell you that your father's attitude towards you has changed a lot!"

"At least before mother came to Ganzhou Prefecture, he was quite satisfied with you!"

"Don't let your father down!"

Gao Guifei looked at Zhu Yu's reckless look and reminded him again with anger and amusement.

"Don't worry, mother, I promise that I will never mess around in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yu hurriedly nodded and agreed.

He is like this, he can admit his mistakes, but he won't change!

...

Yingtianfu Palace.

In the East Palace.

Ever since he heard about the future deduction system from Zhu Yuanzhang a few days ago, Zhu Biao looked absent-minded.

Recently, Zhu Biao did not go to Fengtian Hall, and even did not attend the court!

The main reason was that Zhu Yuanzhang could see that Zhu Biao was always uneasy, knowing that he had experienced too many changes during this period.

He must have to slowly accept the words and incidents he had said before, so he just let him rest for a few days!

However, Zhu Biao's abnormality was not only seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also by everyone in the East Palace. They all saw that Zhu Biao was a little bit wrong recently! Especially Lu and Zhu Yunwen, mother and son, not only because of Zhu Biao's absent-minded appearance, but more because Zhu Yuanzhang started to let Zhu Biao rest again these days!

This is not a good sign for them!

"Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"You already have sequelae, and now you are giving up on yourself and not taking good care of yourself"Son, you didn't even eat two bites of lunch. How can your body handle it at this rate?"

Seeing Zhu Biao eat two bites of rice and put down his chopsticks, Lu asked with concern.

In fact, she had asked Zhu Biao more than once what happened in the past few days, but Zhu Biao just wouldn't say a word to her!

She even suspected that Zhu Biao had done something to annoy the old man, so the old man treated him like this! "You guys eat, I don't have much appetite!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he stood up!

But this time, he didn't go back to his study, but left the East Palace directly and walked towards the Fengtian Palace!

"Mother, what happened to father? "

Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Biao's departing back and asked with a worried look on his face.

In the past few months, he could hardly even see Zhu Yuanzhang. In the past, he could not even think of it!

Only in some public occasions did Zhu Yunwen have the opportunity to see Zhu Yuanzhang and talk to him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude made Zhu Yunwen doubt his life!

He felt that his grandfather had He no longer doted on him, and even disliked him a little!

Every time he wanted to pay respects to the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang would directly refuse him entry for various reasons, which made him inexplicably panic!

But he didn't expect that his father also seemed to be disliked by the emperor!

Why are both of them like this? Does the emperor really dislike them?

"Don't think too much, wait until your mother asks your father clearly before you tell me! ”

Mrs. Lu also had a sad face, but Zhu Biao remained silent, which made her feel helpless!

Either Zhu Biao or Zhu Yuanzhang, she could not control them, and now she could only stare blankly!

On the other side, Zhu Biao came directly to Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still busy reviewing memorials, and the lunch prepared by the imperial kitchen had been served, but Zhu Yuanzhang had not had time to eat yet! Zhu Biao began to rest again. He could not ignore the state affairs, so he had to continue working with his old bones!

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here!"

Yun Qi came to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time and reported softly.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and saw Zhu Biao had walked in from outside.

"Biao'er, you are just in time!"

"Have lunch with us! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Biao had finally come to him on his own initiative, and he was relieved after a few days of worry. He quickly pulled Zhu Biao to sit down at the table.

"Dad, we have already eaten in the East Palace, you can eat by yourself!"

Zhu Biao took off his hat and mask. His mind was not here. He had no appetite in the East Palace, and he naturally did not come to Fengtian Hall to eat!

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao's state, he knew that he must not have eaten much! But Zhu YuanzhangZhu Yuanzhang could understand that if it were him, knowing that he was dying, he probably wouldn't have the heart to eat!

Many times, unless he was so hungry that he had to eat, generally speaking, a person's appetite and mood were directly linked! When he was in a bad mood, he had no appetite for anything! "You suddenly came to me today, are you going to ask about the future deduction system again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang probably guessed the purpose of Zhu Biao coming to him, and directly signaled Yunqi and others to leave!

Some things are not for these eunuchs and palace maids to hear!

He also calculated that after Zhu Biao gradually digested the previous information, he would definitely come to him for further inquiries! After all, he hadn't finished his words last time, especially the things after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he hadn't said them yet!

"Dad, please continue to tell me about the future deduction system!"

Zhu Biao asked hurriedly.

"If you want to know, I will definitely tell you, but we have to eat!"

"You should accompany me to finish lunch first, and we will go to the Imperial Garden later!"

"When the time comes, I will tell you what you want to know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say much, but put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Zhu Biao! With this posture, if Zhu Biao does not eat well today, don't want to know what will happen next!

Zhu Biao had no choice but to accompany the old man to continue eating even if he had no appetite! Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, Zhu Biao finally managed to eat a bowl of rice!

After the father and son finished lunch, they came to the Imperial Garden as promised.

"Dad, can you tell me about the future prediction system now?"

"Last time you said that after Yunwen became emperor, there was no follow-up, so let's talk about the following things!"

Zhu Biao asked impatiently. ??

"Since you want to know, I will tell you directly!"

"But you should be mentally prepared first, don't get angry and hurt yourself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang reminded with a wry smile.

"Could it be that Yunwen is a tyrant and did something ridiculous after becoming emperor?"

Zhu Biao's heart sank when he heard this! Zhu Yuanzhang thought that what Zhu Yunwen did could not be described as a tyrant! I would rather Zhu Yunwen be a tyrant, but don't kill your own uncle! .
