Chapter 7 The North Wind Rising (5)
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere was no longer as active as before. The ministers also drank and ate small pieces of meat. Zhu Zhi felt inexplicably depressed. It seemed that eating with the emperor's old man was like torment. He picked up a piece of meat and cooked it old and tasteless, like chewing cured flavor. Eating this kind of rice would only affect digestion, and he also lost interest in the food all over the table.
Suddenly, a clang sound came crisply and pleasantly. The ministers in the hall were eating, but the sound was not loud, so the sound was very clear in the sound of silk music. Zhu Zhi looked up and saw that a Jinwu, a priest at the east end of the hall, was picking up a golden gourd. Seeing that his face was pale, he was already scared to death.
Zhu Zhi quickly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, but saw that his black face was even more ugly at this time. He squatted heavily on the table with the wine glass in his hand and said angrily: "Where is the duty officer?"
A sword-wielding general standing in front of the emperor quickly fell to his knees: "I'm here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Who is that guy who doesn't understand the rules?"
The general trembled and said, "Yes, it's Fu Rang, a hundred households of Jinwu Guards." Fu Rang? This name is so familiar. Zhu Zhi was trying hard to recall what kind of name is this?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the seat of the general, with a fierce look on his face, and said angrily: "Don't he know that today is a great day for General Lan to celebrate his achievements? Did he not even have the strength to hold the golden gourd?"
The ministers and princess here were stunned by this sudden change. No one knew why Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became angry at this time. Because such occasional minor mistakes have happened in the ceremony in the past, and it is usually done by the on-duty officials who went back to punish them internally. Today, the unlucky Zhi Jinwu has violated Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo.
The general trembled and said, "Go back to the emperor, Fu Rang is on duty today, but last night..."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the bed and said, "Shut up, defend him again, and punish you together." The general shivered and timid. Lan Yu, who was sitting beside him, was holding a wine jue in his hand. He obviously did not wake up from this sudden change. His face turned red and green, and his expression was extremely awkward.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "What crime should we punish disturbing the imperial banquet?"
The general trembled and said, "Taiwan's guard for one hundred."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said, "Where are you here, don't you drag me down, beat me hard." As soon as he finished speaking, several imperial guards rushed over and pulled Fu Rang out of the hall.
At this moment, the general had a white face and a black beard in the seat. The handsome general stood up tremblingly and said, "My teacher, Fu Youde..."
Zhu Zhi slapped his forehead, and finally remembered it. Oh my God, it was this scene! It was Zhu Zhi's turn to have a chime, a bell, a chubby, and a chubby ball. It was like mustard sauce, sweet noodle sauce, and chili sauce mixed together. History has always been history. The iron-blooded wheels were rolling over, and there was no change in the original track. Zhu Zhi's eyes turned dark and he had to hold the desk machine with his hands.
In the vigorous revolutionary war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Fu Youde was the first to follow Liu Futong party Li Xixi, and Xixi was defeated. After Yuzhen, Yuzhen was unable to be used. He went to Wuchang and Chen Youliang, and was unknown. It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Jiangzhou and went to Xiaogushan, and the commander of Youde surrendered. He was under Lao Zhu's command, and Fu Youde showed his superb military talent. He flashed his figure on almost every battlefield, fighting bravely and fearless of death. In the third year of Hongwu, he was awarded the founding of the country's auxiliary movement and honored the military minister, Ronglu Dafu, Zhuguo, Tongzhi Dazhu, and Tongzhi Dazhu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Yingchuan, and had a thousand five hundred stones of food. He was granted the world's covenant.
. The expedition to Western Shu and Yunnan made Fu Youde reach the peak of his life. In 17 years, he was awarded the title of Duke of Ying in accordance with his merits and 3,000 stones of salary. Fu Youde was the only person who joined the revolutionary ranks after Zhu Yuanzhang crossed south to Jinling and was granted the title of Duke. Perhaps he knew very well that he wanted to gain trust in the future and gained trust, and he would be desperate every battle. Historian of the Ming Dynasty commented: Youde was silent and jumped, risking a hundred deaths. From a minor to a general, he would be the first to lead the soldiers in every battle. Although he was destroyed, the battle became more powerful, so the emperor repeatedly awarded the rewards. But at this moment, it is conceivable how much humiliation he would suffer from the son's court battle in public.
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Fu Youde's words with a silence: "What do you want to say when you stand up? Who made you speak?!" Fu Youde was choked and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze, saying that he couldn't speak, but he couldn't move. His white face turned red and his lips were squirming. After a moment of stiffness, Fu Youde's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally he sat down dejectedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fu Youde, and his eyes showed a cold light, which was obviously angered by his rudeness. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the jade belt tightly, pressed it under his stomach, and said to Fu Youde sternly: "Is it because I punished your son? You feel sorry for you? Then go, call both sons over!"
Almost everyone in the hall gasped. During the Hongwu period, what scared the ministers the most was Lao Zhu's action of pressing the jade belt under his stomach, because it meant that Zhu Yuanzhang had already become murderous. Therefore, the first thing the ministers did after they went to court was to stare at Lao Zhu's jade belt, and they were so happy that they were crying. Once, they put it under their stomachs, everyone felt a chill on their necks. Another time, an official said to his wife before leaving, that if I couldn't come back, I would lose my head. What would you do? His wife was very chaste and said that you were dead, I would go with you. That day, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy and left a few ministers for dinner. When his wife saw that her husband did not go home on time, she actually hanged herself as she promised. The life of the ministers in Hongwu period was as worthless as a piece of paper.
Fu Youde stood up tremblingly, his face became scary. His body paused for a moment and suddenly turned around. Under the attention of hundreds of ministers and princes, he strided towards the entrance of the hall.
It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Fu Youde to kneel down and ask for his forgiveness immediately, but who knew that Fu Youde had a tough temper. When he left at this time, he was obviously dissatisfied. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had blood and walked to the steps. With a "choke", he pulled out a sword from the waist of a guard with a sword in front of the imperial guard and threw it on the ground, and said sternly: "Just bring your son's head here!"
This sentence is like a thunder striking in Fengtian Palace. Zhu Zhi's body was trembling. Why is it coming now? Zhu Zhi vaguely remembers that the historical records are not like this. Fu Youde was forced to death a year later. This scene should not have been staged at this time. Obviously, history has accelerated due to some small changes.
Zhu Zhi, who came from the modern era, had already opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's deeds of killing heroes, but since he came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had no other actions except to execute Ye Sheng, who had "conclusive evidence". It once made Zhu Zhi think that many stories were just a conspiracy in unofficial history.
But at this moment, a cold-blooded, violent and unreasonable Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of him and actually asked a father to bring the heads of his two sons. Zhu Zhi was not mentally prepared for this incident.
Zhu Zhi looked up and glanced at the surrounding princes and officials. The whole hall was silent, and a needle could be heard falling down. Lan Yu, who was sitting next to the imperial throne, widened his eyes, surprised and said nothing; Feng Sheng, who was the old head of Xun, closed his lips, like a statue, without saying a word; Liu Sanwu, the head of the civil servant, closed his eyes, his white beard trembled, without saying a word; Yang Jing, the Minister of Justice, who was known as a direct advice, was as stupid as a wooden chicken, and did not say a word.
Life, is the value of life so despicable? Does the king have to kill his son if he wants his minister to die? A stream of passion surges into his heart, and Zhu Zhi makes his heart aside, even if there are thousands of people, I will go.
Zhu Zhi stood up suddenly. No matter everyone's terrified expression, he did not look at Zhu Yuanzhang's extremely cold eyes, and walked to the desk and knelt down and said, "Father, please calm down the wrath of thunder..."
"Stop it, you are a foul, it's not your turn to speak here. Here comes someone, pull him to the outside of the palace for forty sticks. Don't show mercy, I want to see blood." Zhu Yuanzhang had turned into a crazy beast. The imperial guards below were also stunned on the spot, at a loss.
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Do you have to repeat my words on this hall for a second time?"
The two guards woke up and strode forward, whispered to offend Zhu Zhi's arms and wanted to pull him out. Zhu Zhi let go: "I can leave myself." He said that, and turned his head and left. Fu Youde's body trembled for a moment, and walked out of the hall step by step in front of him.
The guard pressed Zhu Zhi on a bench under the Danban and pulled his clothes away. The two guards said something offended and beat him down one by one. "One, two, three, four" basically shouted twice before he could get down, but his hands were not light at all. Zhu Zhi grinned in pain. But the thrust in his heart came up, and he didn't say a word.
After a while, Fu Youde walked past Zhu Zhi with two heads that were still bleeding from heat. He seemed to have grown ten years old all of a sudden, and the sword in his hand was trembling. In fact, his whole body was trembling, step by step, and every step was like a drop of a thousand pounds.
Fu Youde walked to the center of the hall, faced Zhu Yuanzhang, without kneeling down, threw the head on the ground with a "bang", and said with gritted teeth: "Return to the emperor's will, the heads of the two rebellious sons are here."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the spot. He knew that he would not be able to get out of the market if he didn't do it this time. He still looked at Fu Youde majestic and said sternly: "You do all such cruel things! Are you very resentful to me?"
Fu Youde laughed loudly, this was a kind of despair of tragic laughter, obviously he had decided to die. Fu Youde suddenly pulled his clothes away and said, "Since he followed His Majesty in Poyang Lake, he has been killed twenty cities in a hundred battles, killed fifty generals, and killed countless enemy soldiers; he conquered Wuchang, and was trapped in the cheek; he was attacked by Anlu, and was killed by Jiude. Youde was lucky enough to live to this day. These glory are given by Your Majesty. Your Majesty treats me like a new parent. Even if I die nine times, I cannot repay Your Majesty. If there is no resentment in my heart! Isn't Your Majesty just want the heads of our father and son? Today I fulfill Your Majesty's wish for the last time!"
Fu Youde paused, his face was already full of tears, and suddenly sighed to the sky: "Son, don't walk too fast, it's my father!" As he said that, he put the sword on his neck, and blood splattered on Fengtian Palace.
The body of a famous general Fu Youde fell like a mountain on the hall, making a clanging sound. At the last moment of his life, he used his sword to safeguard his dignity as a human being.
