Beijing.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the memorial when suddenly Wang Zhong came up with a memorial.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent message from the Chief Envoy of Northern Zhili!"
"Chief Envoy of Northern Zhili? Isn't that that boy Ouyang Lun?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "Of the more than ten chief envoys in the country, this guy is the laziest. The other chief envoys can't wait to send a memorial every day. , but it turns out that this guy doesn’t write more than two memorials a year!”
"I want to see what he wants this time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang specifically put down the memorial in his hand and took Ouyang Lun's memorial from Wang Zhong.
After reading Ouyang Lun's memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he slapped the memorial on Long's case, extremely angry.
"What exactly does Ouyang Lun want to do!"
Wang Zhong was startled by Zhu Yuanzhang's violent reaction and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, did Ouyang Prince Consort do anything to make you unhappy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Doesn't he think that the trouble is not enough? The Great Wall here has not been repaired yet, and now what kind of development demonstration state capital is going to be launched? It is said that Xuanfu will be built into the economic center of Ming Dynasty's northern Xinjiang! It's just nonsense. "
"I visited Xuanfu once during my northern tour. It's a completely useless place. Where can it develop? It needs people but no one, money but no money. It's strange that it can develop!"
Wang Zhong heard this and quickly advised: "Ouyang Prince Consort is a genius, maybe he does have some special methods!"
"When I talk about this, I get even more angry!" Zhu Yuanzhang roared: "He did write a solution for me this time."
"As long as there is a way, Your Majesty, please don't let your anger break your body!" Wang Zhong said quickly.
"The solution? Haha, his solution is to ask me to allow him to do business with the herdsmen in the north!! What is the difference between what he is doing and the above-board smuggling? To put it more seriously, it is colluding with foreign countries!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth angrily and lowered his voice. Roared: "You really dare to make any money! Doesn't he know why Hu Weiyong died? Does he want to follow in Hu Weiyong's footsteps? Or is he sure that I won't kill him!"
"Smuggling. Collaborating with foreign countries." Upon hearing these two words, Wang Zhong did not dare to speak anymore and quickly lowered his head.
This was no longer something that a eunuch like him could talk about.
"Hmph, this guy still dares to boast that he can turn Xuanfu into the money bag of the Ming Dynasty. He is deceiving me!"
"If I don't teach Ouyang Lun a lesson this time, he will probably be so distracted that he doesn't even know what his last name is!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Go and call Li Shanchang, the censor of Zuodu of the Procuratorate, and Zhou Zhen, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I want to Let’s have a good discussion with them about what crime we should charge Ouyang Lun with!”
"Yes!" Wang Zhong didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly got up to call someone.
Not long after, Li Shanchang and Zhou Zhen rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhou Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was born in Jiangning and lived in Hunan in the late Yuan Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Wuchang, he went to seek refuge and was appointed as a minister of Jiangxi Province. He was ordered to formulate laws together with Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others. Because of his merit in formulating laws, Naturally, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was known for his ruthless and decisive methods and won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty Li Shanchang (Zhou Zhen) pays homage to your Majesty!"
"Here we come." Zhu Yuanzhang slowly raised his head, with a gloomy expression, waving his hand and throwing the memorial in front of the two of them, "This is the memorial sent by Ouyang Lun, you two, let's see what crime we should charge him with!"
Ouyang Lun!
Hearing this name, Li Shanchang and Zhou Zhen's faces became serious. You must know that Ouyang Lun's name is now famous. He is the youngest chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty and has many achievements. The key is that he is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law.
Now they are asked to convict Ouyang Lun. This is simply a hot potato. If they cannot understand Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, they will make a big mistake.
As a result, the two of them read the contents of the memorial with trepidation.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
They both felt that Ouyang Lun was so courageous!
"Now that you've finished reading, let's talk about how I should deal with this Ouyang Lun!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and his tone was cold, like a man-eating tiger.
Just when Li Shanchang was thinking about how to speak, Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, spoke first, "Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun's behavior is simply contempt for the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and he dared to try to obtain the power to trade privately with foreigners. This is a crime. This is a crime." The memorial also said that he had sent people into the northern grasslands to negotiate deals with the nomadic tribes on the grasslands and colluded with foreign countries. This was the second crime. He knew that His Majesty hated smuggling and traitors the most, but he still did this and despised the Emperor. These are three crimes. If you have these three crimes, you should be stripped of your title, dismissed from office, and executed in Lingchi!"
"Okay! Just do as you say. Zhou Zhenqian will personally take the people and take my imperial edict to North Zhili to pick them up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Yes!" Zhou Zhen nodded, then turned around and prepared to take action.
Although he knew a lot about Ouyang Lun, in Zhou Zhen's opinion, could Ouyang Lun be more powerful than the Ming Dynasty Law Order?No matter how powerful he is, he can be greater than His Majesty the Emperor?Now that Ouyang Lun has committed a serious crime and is seeking death, and His Majesty the Emperor has given an order, he just needs to carry it out without compromise!
The Jin Yiwei had taken Ouyang Lun many times before. The former Yushitai and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate had also taken action against Ouyang Lun, but they all failed. Now His Majesty finally thought of the Ministry of Punishment, so he must not fail this time!
Hearing this, Li Shanchang stood up quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun is not only the chief envoy of Beizhili, but also the prince-in-law of the dynasty. It would be too hasty to convict him based on a memorial. I suggest you send someone to Beizhili first. I'll investigate, and if this is really the case, it won't be too late to take action."
"This memorial was written by Ouyang Lun. This is evidence, enough for me to take him down. As for other matters, when Ouyang Lun goes to the Ministry of Punishment Prison, I will naturally have a way to make him speak!" After Zhou Zhen finished speaking, he stared at Li Shanchang. He glanced twice and said, "Master Li speaks for Ouyang Lun like this, could it be that he is an accomplice of his!?"
"Zhou Zhen, don't spit in front of His Majesty!" After Li Shanchang finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, the new city plan is already halfway through. If Ouyang Lun is captured, the new city plan will definitely not be able to continue. If it continues, not only will the Great Wall not be repaired, but millions of workers will also be unable to relocate, and there will definitely be chaos in Beizhili. In addition, the 'Da Ming Oil Company' has been established, and officials will be sent to Beizhili to study soon."
"Your Majesty, for the sake of these things, please think twice!"
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and wanted to kill Ouyang Lun, but after Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually calmed down.
"Li Shanchang has some truth in what he said. If Ouyang Lun is taken down like this, the impact and effect will be too great, which is really inappropriate."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate, Zhou Zhen became anxious. This was the first time he saw Zhu Yuanzhang so hesitant. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, there is no essential difference between running a country and running an army. They both need to be strict. Anyone who violates the law or Those who are subject to military law should be dealt with seriously, no matter they are ordinary people, ordinary soldiers, or dignitaries, princes and generals, they must not be tolerated!"
"I thought we should capture Ouyang Lun with thunderous force. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Ouyang Lun's problem must be dealt with, but it requires evidence. Just relying on a memorial is indeed not enough!"
"In this case, Zhou Zhen, you should personally lead a team to Beizhili to collect evidence of Ouyang Lun's smuggling and colluding with foreign countries. Once the evidence is sufficient, capture him immediately and escort him back to the capital for trial!"
"I obey!" Zhou Zhen was more inclined to take down Ouyang Lun directly, but he had to listen to the emperor's , Zhou Zhen is still very confident in himself. In his mind, he has already confirmed that Ouyang Lun is guilty. When he goes to Beizhili, he will be able to find irrefutable evidence of Ouyang Lun's crime, and then wipe out Ouyang Lun and his cronies. This will be his first... The greatest achievement in life.
"This matter is settled, you all go down first!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for Li Shanchang and Zhou Zhen to leave.
"Sir, please retire!"
After saluting Zhu Yuanzhang heavily, Li Shanchang and Zhou Zhen walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Not long after they walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Shanchang and Zhou Zhen started to quarrel.
"Master Li, I remember that you don't have much favorable impression of Ouyang Lun, why do you want to speak for him today?" Zhou Zhen asked very puzzledly: "Could it be that you accepted Ouyang Lun's benefits? I heard that Ouyang Lun Lun is best at using money to corrupt others!"
Li Shanchang shook his head and did not answer directly, but asked: "Master Zhou, do you really think that His Majesty really wants to deal with Ouyang Lun?"
"Of course." Zhou Zhen nodded heavily, "I have followed His Majesty for so many years, and I have never seen His Majesty so angry. What Ouyang Lun wrote is full of violations and serious crimes. Take him down and bring him to justice. Law, no problem!"
"The same was true when His Majesty dealt with Hu Weiyong and Yang Xianyi. Only when people get the punishment they deserve can the world be alerted!"
Li Shanchang smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou is so confident! If you treat Ouyang Lun as Hu Weiyong, you think too highly of Hu Weiyong."
"Don't forget, Ouyang Lun is His Majesty's son-in-law. How can he be compared to Hu Weiyong and others?"
"So what about son-in-law?" Zhou Zhen said indifferently: "As long as I present the evidence of Ouyang Lun's crime to His Majesty, he will definitely be punished!"
Seeing that Zhou Zhen was indifferent, Li Shanchang was too lazy to say anything more to him, "In that case, I will wait for good news in the capital! But as someone who has been to Beizhili before, I would like to give you some advice. Don't be fooled. I'm fascinated by the prosperity of Beizhili, I hope you can be as good as you are now when you come back!"
After saying that, Li Shanchang walked away, leaving Zhou Zhen alone with his eyes deep in thought.
"I don't care about money or women. Ouyang Lun's methods are of no use to me!!"
However, what Li Shanchang said just now touched Zhou Zhen a little, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "Is it possible that His Majesty really doesn't really want to kill Ouyang Lun?"
"Just angry words? What if that's the case?"
Zhou Zhen took a breath of cold air, his face suddenly changed, and after some changes, he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, if I go to Beizhili this time, if I really get evidence of Ouyang Lun's crime, I must handle it impartially. In this way, even His Majesty can’t find fault with it!”
North Zhili.
Peiping.
Chief Secretary Yamen.
Ouyang Lun was fishing leisurely, staring nervously at the lake. He saw a group of fish wandering in the lake, happily eating the fish food thrown by Ouyang Lun, and the fishhook was among them. As long as more fish bite, One bite and you'll be hooked!
"Sure enough, if you want to catch fish, you have to build a good nest!"
"Eat more, take bigger bites, and you'll be biting right away!"
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind.
"Master Ouyang?"
Ho!
As the sound sounded, the fish in the lake were immediately frightened and scattered.
Originally he could catch fish right away, but now he couldn't even see the shadow of fish. Ouyang Lun was so angry!
"Who is it! Ghostly screaming in broad daylight!"
Ouyang Lun turned his head and saw Mao Xiang and Xiao Hu approaching each other with smiles on their faces.
But Ouyang Lun's face darkened, "What's the matter with you two? Don't you know I'm fishing? I haven't caught any fish for three days in a row. Today I finally had a chance to end the Air Force, but one after another But it was destroyed by you two!"
cough cough.
Hearing this, Mao Xiang and Xiaohu both looked embarrassed.
"Master Ouyang, if you like fish, I know how to swim. I will go to the lake and catch ten or eight fish for you!" With that, Xiaohu began to take off his clothes and planned to jump into the lake to catch fish for Ouyang Lun.
"Stop, your name is Xiaohu, you are really a tiger! Do you think I am in need of those few fish?" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes and continued: "You can't fish just by looking at me, fishing, fishing, fishing Fishing is about the state of mind. Since ancient times, many capable people have liked fishing, because fishing can make you integrate with nature and think about problems better, instead of just for those few fish. Forget it, I tell you. not understand!"
"Please forgive me, Mr. Ouyang. Xiaohu and I came here just to ask Mr. Ouyang for advice!" Mao Xiang apologized quickly.
"If you fart, hurry up. I told my wife that she will drink the fish soup from the fish I caught myself today." Ouyang Lun said impatiently.
"Yes, yes." Mao Xiang rubbed his hands, and then said cautiously: "Sir Ouyang, there has been a lot of talk these days about the 'Development Model Prefecture'. I heard that Xuanfu will be fully constructed. Is this true? "
Although Mao Xiang always pretended to understand Mao Xiang in front of other businessmen, in fact he was very unsure, so he specially found a time when Ouyang Lun was at home and came over to ask for more confirmation. Please ask for more details by the way.
Ouyang Lun glanced at Mao Xiang and said, "You guys are very well-informed. You already know it before the official announcement comes out!"
"Xiaohu, come here."
"What are your orders, Lord Ouyang?" Xiaohu walked over honestly.
"Take it." Ouyang Lun handed the fishing rod in his hand to Xiaohu, "Mao Da and I will talk about something. You can help me keep an eye on the fishing rod. If a fish takes the bait, you can stop the fishing rod."
"Yes!"
