In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang moved his hands around his waist a few times, and finally turned his hands on his hips helplessly.
It's a pity that today I wore cloth straps instead of leather straps.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his second son kneeling in front of him, with a flash of regret in his eyes.
Zhu Xiang thought about it, and he always felt that what his old man said was very persuasive. What is the "suffering of the past few years"? If he really feels that he has suffered, the old man will use the topic to express it.
He lowered his head, but felt that the old man was like a hunting tiger in the mountains, waiting for him to reveal his flaws.
Zhu Xiang immediately looked sad, and his eyes were bloodshot. When he raised his head, his face was already red: "Dad, my son is tired... My son has not seen his wife for several years. Dad, please let your son rest.
After resting for a while, my son can't even eat every day. When he regains his strength, he will continue to fight for our family, wrap his body in horse leather, die and live again!"
Emphasis on being tired, emphasizing the desire for a wife, and then emphasizing the idea of continuing to do it. This is Zhu Xiang's decision. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but he is tired and wants his wife. This is a human thing.
Old man, can you still find fault?
"Tired?"
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and questioned.
He walked up to Zhu Xiang, squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand to pat Zhu Xiang's shoulder, and stared at his second son with deep meaning.
"Tired, how can you be as tired as me?"
Zhu Xi paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "My son doesn't dare."
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows jumped: "It's because you don't dare rather than because you don't have any, then that's what you think!"
Zhu Xiang panicked. When did he write this, this kind of reply became a point of criticism.
He shook his head repeatedly: "My son is young and upright in his prime. No matter how many things he has to do and how tired he is, he will never be as tired as his father."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
He continued to ask: "Then you think you are more tired than the boss?"
Zhu Xi learned the lesson now, and immediately shook his head and said: "The eldest brother is the crown prince of this dynasty, the foundation of the country of the East Palace, and the crown prince of Sheji. He thinks about it day and night, and works too hard."
Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with the feeling that with just a little guidance, he can make his children develop in the direction he wants to go. This kind of education for his children is probably the reason why he has become both a father and a mother over the years.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly: "Second brother, you are the eldest one in our family except the eldest. Many brothers are following you as a role model. If you complain about tiredness everywhere, your brothers will
What will happen?"
Nowadays, the relationship between relatives in his family is very simple, but Zhu Xi feels a little helpless. In addition to those cousins of the old man, the old Zhu family now only has his biological brothers and sisters.
Cousins don't matter, who doesn't have relatives?
But this group of brothers...
Zhu Xi couldn't help but curse in his heart. It was because his old man was too fertile. The princes of his Prince Qin's Palace could get married and have children, and the old man could also add younger brothers and sisters to himself.
Zhu Feng hummed twice, and Quan took it as a response.
Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind and said: "What is the Jingcha? Why do you need the Jingcha? Don't you still understand?"
Three questions in a row made it difficult for Zhu Xi to say anything.
Just when Zhu Xi was about to fool him again, Zhu Yuanzhang had already blocked his words.
"Speak! Make it clear! Make it clear!"
This is not bullying!
Zhu Xi felt like crying without tears for a moment, feeling desolate and sad in his heart.
"Dad, are you going to vent your anger on Yunxi?" Zhu Xi pondered for a long time and pretended not to understand.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes moved ambiguously, and he looked sideways at the prince. However, he patted the second son on the shoulder again: "Second brother, if you really feel tired from working for dad, dad will let you go back to the fiefdom. You can't control him.
Dad, if you work harder, go ask the third, fourth and fifth children to see if they can handle it and not get tired."
Zhu Xiang suddenly became excited and quickly raised his hands and said: "My son is not tired! My son is willing to go through fire and water for my family, no matter what!"
"Hmph! Then just tell me why I want to be investigated."
Zhu Xi felt uneasy in his heart and cast his weak eyes towards the prince Zhu Biao not far away.
When I was young, as long as my brothers made mistakes in front of the old man and ran to their mother or eldest brother, they could always escape a severe beating and be replaced by a light punishment from their mother or eldest brother.
This time, Zhu Biao ignored the second child's gaze and asked for help. He even winked at Zhu Xi, giving an expression that said he was helpless but wanted to sit back and watch the show.
For a moment, Zhu Xiang, who didn't care about his father and didn't love his brother, his shoulders drooped quietly, and he never showed the same arrogance as before in the Huagai Hall.
"You want to take this opportunity to purge the Ming Dynasty officialdom."
Zhu Fang sighed softly: "Under the leadership of Gao Yangzhi and others, Jiaozhi Dao has implemented the public examination law in recent years. Although it cannot eliminate corruption, it can also target the selection of talents, rather than empty talk.
Both eyes turned black."
After saying that, Zhu Xiang raised his head again to observe the changes in the old man, and then continued: "And... if you want to take the test of public law, then you have to take the test again regardless of Neo-Confucianism and Psychology. My son is bold, and my father probably wants to be an official in the world."
Not a Confucian family."
After saying this, Zhu Xi lay down completely, not daring to raise his head even a little.
Why should we abolish the establishment of the emperor's grandson? What matters concerning the country and the country cannot be discussed by the ministers.
They are all just excuses. If the old man wants to vent his anger on his eldest grandson, all he needs is a few orders. Why arrest people and go to Beijing for investigation?
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Look, isn't this Men Qing? Where do you get so many excuses and reasons? Why are you pretending to be in front of your father? I have known what you are going to do since you have stuck your butt out since you were a child." p>
Zhu Xi didn't dare to get up. It was precisely because he clearly understood these actions in his heart that he was reluctant in every possible way.
"So you are afraid, you are afraid." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark, and he bent down and put his hands on each other to look down at Zhu Ping: "Are you afraid that after doing the six-way land transfer tax matter, coupled with the current Beijing inspection affairs, sleeping in the middle of the night or maybe
Are you going to be killed if you walk on the road?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Xi remained silent.
Zhu Biao, who had never spoken, finally couldn't bear it and said: "Father, please don't scare the second child. The fifth child was probably also frightened by the chaos in Henan Province. Why don't we let him return to Beijing then?"
, leave the affairs of Beijing Police to him."
When Zhu Xi heard this, he immediately felt extremely unhappy.
I don’t have to, but you can’t just give it to others.
Zhu Xi immediately said plausibly: "Lao Wu has spent these years repairing books and repairing books. Prince Zhou's palace is full of various herbal medicines. How can he know about these things in Beijing?"
Zhu Biao smiled slightly and whispered: "That old man..."
"The fourth child guards Beiping, and Peiping and Jiubian cannot do without him." Zhu Xi immediately started chattering: "The third child is not good either, his temper is not as good as mine, and all the officials in the imperial court will..." p>
He wanted to kill them all, but the words came to his lips and he still didn't say them.
Even if a country is destroyed, most of the Gong Gong princes in the court, except for some senior heroes who died for the country, will live well, or even better. Throughout the dynasties, there has never been an entire court.
Things like being killed cleanly happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and glanced at the boss. The father and son looked at each other, and then Lao Zhu pulled his second son, Zhu Ping, out of the palace.
Zhu Xiang was a little confused and didn't know what the old man was going to do.
"Dad, what do you want to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his arms and hooked the second child's neck: "Second child, go ahead and do it. At worst, you will learn from the third child."
Before Zhu Xi could react, he only felt his back being pushed hard by the old man's big hand, and then he stumbled out a lot in front of the palace door.
When Zhu Xi stabilized his body and turned back to look at Huagai Hall, he saw that the door of the hall had long been closed tightly, and there was no sign of the old man.
In front of the Huagai Hall, a summer heat wave rolled in, and Zhu Xi felt even more depressed.
After sighing for a while, Zhu Xi could only walk over to Wenyuan Pavilion to find Jie Jin, hoping to get some different means and methods.
When Zhu Xi arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, he saw that not only Jie Jin was in the room today, but Xia Yuanji, who also walked in Wenhua Pavilion, was also here.
Both of them were working in the Wenhua Palace, but because Xia Yuanji was still doing the household affairs, most of the time he was doing errands in the household yamen. Occasionally, he would go to the palace to attend the wedding or for important matters of the country.
We will come together to help deal with it.
Today Jie Jin has no rest, Henan Road and Shandong Road have rebelled, the gentry and the people have petitioned to depose the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's imperial decree will be inspected in Beijing this year. These are all important matters of the Ming Dynasty. There are so many state memorials and so on, and Xia Yuan
The reason why Ji had to come.
Things in the court have been very complicated recently. Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji were sorting things out according to their priority, and even had to make suggestions and forward them to the emperor and the prince. At the same time, they did not forget to complain about the distant situation at the moment.
Tie Xuan stayed in Japan for several years.
They were both walking in the Wenhua Palace, and they worked hard in Yingtian every day. On the contrary, Tie Xuan was designated to live in dissipation all day long in the Japanese state. It is often said that the women of the Japanese state know how to serve others best. p>
While working and chatting, Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji looked at Qin King Zhu Ping who came in from the outside.
"I wonder what the prince wants to do when he comes to Wenyuan Pavilion?"
Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji stood up from the wooden couch that had long been replaced with bamboo mats after removing the cushions, and arrived in front of Zhu Ping.
Looking at the two people's respectful expressions, Zhu Xi felt that the irritability in his heart was a little dissipated. He waved his hands, raised his head, and looked around the room.
"I, the King of Wenyuan Pavilion, didn't come often in the past, but I don't want it to be a place that needs to be guarded by my own troops."
Zhu Xi spoke teasingly, and he was already sitting cross-legged on a wooden couch covered with bamboo mats.
He stretched his head to look at the memorials on the table, then turned to look at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji, who had an ugly look on their faces. They reached out and patted the table and closed the open memorials: "How do I understand this?
These things are hard to watch and boring to watch. As expected, only Xie Xingxing and Xia Xingxing, the great talents of the country, can do such things."
His Highness the King of Qin actually learned to praise others?
Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji looked at each other silently. From the moment the prince entered Wenyuan Pavilion, he looked weird.
Xia Yuanji coughed lightly: "I'm just following the rules and doing things according to the rules. I don't deserve the prince's praise."
Xie Jin immediately followed up and said: "Your Majesty is responsible for the heavy responsibility of state affairs. I follow His Majesty and the Crown Prince to handle the affairs of the country. The relationship is important and only an extraordinary person can take charge of it."
Zhu Feng had a plan in his mind. Seeing that both of them were so naughty, he no longer made excuses and said directly: "Your Majesty is responsible for me, the king, to take on the errands of the imperial court this year. I think you two already know this when you are walking."
."
Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji nodded. There was no expression on their faces, but they were a little happy in their hearts. They also understood the intention of His Highness King Qin.
The life of these two people, King Qin, was very difficult, and most people knew this well. Just like the problem in Henan Province this time, Zhu Ping, who was in charge of the six-way field tax, had to bear some responsibility. It's not that he triggered the rebellion in Henan Province, but that the land tax errands were not done well. As soon as the Emperor Taisun went to Henan Province, he discovered countless cases of deception and concealment. So what has His Highness King Qin done in the past few years?
There has to be a question mark about what happened.
Zhu Xi is indeed in a panic right now. The situation in Henan Province has not yet been finalized. He is not the only one who knows how he has done his errands in the past two years.
He sighed softly: "Actually, I also understand that the country's affairs are difficult. It's just that, even if it offends people, I will do it, right?"
Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji nodded repeatedly but did not speak.
Zhu Xi added: "However, I have to understand how to do it and what the process is."
Jie Jin still nodded, but Xia Yuanji frowned slightly.
Sure enough, the next moment Zhu Xi said: "I see that the two of you are very capable ministers in the court, and you will definitely be able to rank among the six ministers in the future. How about you help me this time?"
?"
Just as Xie Jin was about to speak, Xia Yuanji had already raised his arms first and blocked Xie Jin with his elbow.
Then Xia Yuanji, under Jie Jin's doubtful gaze, raised his hands and said, "Go back to the prince. Later, I will take the documents and files from the previous inspections in Hongwu and send them to the prince in person for his review and reference."
."
Zhu Fang's eyes dimmed slightly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything just by looking at the past. If something goes wrong by then and it's found out that the officials in Beijing have any secrets, I'll kill them all for the same crime."<
/p>
After saying this, Zhu Xi turned his head and looked at the two of them with a smile: "I am just joking, you two must not take it seriously."
Xia Yuanji had been complaining about the shameless King Qin for a long time in his heart, but he could only hold up his hands and say with a smile: "The prince is joking. In this case, if there is anything unclear about the prince, he can send people to find out."
I will help you to the best of my ability, and I can’t let Prince Jingcha go wrong.”
"Trouble!"
Zhu Xiang's face was full of disgust, he waved his hands and shook his head and said: "Why do you need people running around? I will report to Your Majesty right now, and then I will ask you two to walk with me to preside over the inspection of the capital!"<
/p>
As he spoke, Zhu Xi jumped down from the wooden couch.
Under Xia Yuanji's surprised gaze, Zhu Ping stretched out his hands and patted Xia Yuanji and Xie Jin on their shoulders, and then passed between them.
After waiting for a long time, Zhu Xiang was no longer in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Xia Yuanji took a long breath, as if there was a bellows blowing in his throat.
Xie Jin looked a little unhappy on the side: "He is dragging us into the water?"
Xie Jin looked at Xia Yuanji's expression, he was a little unsure, but he was so sure.
Xia Yuanji stamped his feet angrily: "That's right! He didn't come here to ask for advice, he just came to give us two ultimatums. Even if we don't go to the Jingchao, we have to go. If he offends people, we will offend him too. People."
Xie Jin's eyes regained their composure and he said softly: "It doesn't matter if you offend others."
"It doesn't matter!" Xia Yuanji shouted in a high voice, and then said: "But the key is that this thing is not easy to do. You just said that when the time comes, there will be so many officials in Yingtian City to evaluate their merits, and one place will fail. If there are leaks, there will be leaks everywhere.
After checking the people from the Ministry of Revenue today, tomorrow Shangshu Yu can go to Qianqing Palace to complain, and the day after tomorrow he can skin me.
The whole court hall is full of twists and turns. When we enter, we are like a leaf of duckweed thrown into the Yellow River. With a little wind and waves, we will sink to the bottom."
Xia Yuanji's face became very ugly. The imperial inspection has always been something that was not done by human beings. Especially this time, His Majesty used a prince from the clan to preside over the imperial inspection. It was obvious that he wanted to expand the scope to the entire Yingtian Chaotang.< /p>
If not, His Majesty can choose one or two officials from the six departments, five temples and three Dharma divisions to preside over the capital inspection.
In most cases, it is presided over by the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Xie Jin hesitated and said: "What should we do now?"
"How?" Xia Yuanji hummed twice, sat on the wooden couch, and looked sideways at Xie Jin, who was unwilling to pay attention to these twists and turns: "Wait, what else can I do. I'll tell you, every day Think about state affairs and your cement roads. Can't you think about these official affairs? Sooner or later, you will have to be dragged in by those people."
Xia Yuanji quite resented the fact that he met a stupid teammate.
Xie Jin did not refute, but picked up the teapot from the side, poured a cup of tea for Xia Yuanji, and delivered it to him personally.
Seeing Xia Yuanji unwilling to reach out.
Xie Jin then said: "I don't have you to help me. You know more about officialdom than me, so that's enough."
Xia Yuanji shrank his neck for no reason, looked at Xie Jin up and down, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold the tea cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Forget it, forget it, I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet you two."
"Right now, there is no chaos here in Yingtian. We have just arrested a few people, but they are not enough to fill the Jinyiwei Zhao Prison."
"As for Beijing Cha..."
Xia Yuanji sneered, laughing loudly in his throat.
Jie Jin put his arms on the table and stretched his head to look at Xia Yuanji: "What's wrong with Jingcha?"
Xia Yuanji glanced at Xie Jin: "It's still early for the Beijing Police to investigate! We have to wait for the news and results from the emperor's grandson before we can do this!"
