Zhu Tianjiang was dumbfounded now. Just now he saw Emperor Chengwu scolding the queen, and he felt as happy as anything. Now it's good, Emperor Chengwu will hit him fifty times in a blink of an eye.
"Wait~! Your Majesty, we have to make our words clear and make some sense." Zhu Tianjiang said quickly when he saw that the Ouchi guards were coming to take someone away.
Emperor Chengwu stopped and turned around slowly, "The Queen is the mother of the world. As a minister, I contradict the Queen. Isn't that enough?"
"Your Majesty, you promised the students in the morning that if someone bullies the students, you will make the decision for me. Why do you just refuse to admit it in the blink of an eye?" Zhu Tianjiang said with a bitter face.
"What did you say!" Emperor Chengwu became angry and glared at Zhu Tianjiang.
Several ministers said to themselves that your kid really deserves to be beaten. Can you say such a thing? Prince Jing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, why don't you bring this kid to my clan's residence, and I will give him a good beating?"
A meal." Prince Jing said while winking at Zhu Tianjiang.
"No need, just fight here!" Emperor Chengwu said angrily in a deep voice without giving him any face.
When the guards on both sides heard this, they stepped forward and pushed Zhu Tianjiang to the ground. Wei Zhan stood aside silently without saying a word.
Zhu Tianjiang thought to himself that it would be strange if he had to lie down for months if he got into contact with him. Zhu Tianjiang was anxious and took the risk.
"It's unfair~ When the students leave the palace, tell the people of Dafeng that the emperor's words don't mean anything. I just returned the king's whip, and the entire royal family ganged up to bully me~ God~ I deserve to die unjust~!" Zhu
Tianxiang lay on the ground and screamed strangely.
Prince Jing stamped his feet anxiously, wasn't he looking for death? The six ministers wanted to come forward to plead for mercy, but when they heard Zhu Tianjiang crying and yelling, no one dared to come forward.
"Wait a minute!" Emperor Chengwu waved his hand and angrily stopped Gong Chai who was about to strike.
"What did you just say, don't you dare tell me again!" Emperor Chengwu looked at Zhu Tianjiang angrily.
Zhu Tianjiang stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty, the student is telling the truth. You said you made the decision for me, why do you still have to take responsibility?"
"As a minister, beating up the harem servants is also called bullying you?"
"Your Majesty, the queen wants someone to blind the student's eyes, and the student will fight back when the student is in danger. According to Dafeng law, the student is already a third-rank official, but the queen is dazzled by such a trivial matter, what is it if not bullying?"
"What? Stab his eyes blind?" Emperor Cheng Wu was stunned.
Zhu Tianjiang hurriedly opened his mouth and made it sound like he was being teased by the queen. Emperor Chengwu didn't know that this episode happened, so he looked back at Wei Zhan, who was stunned.
He nodded lightly.
The six ministers were also discussing, and they all felt that the queen had gone too far. Even if Zhu Tianjiang was unreasonable, the harem had no right to deal with high officials in the court like this.
A dark cloud appeared on Emperor Chengwu's face. This time he was not angry with Zhu Tianjiang. Emperor Chengwu took a deep breath, waved his hand, and asked the guards to retreat.
Zhu Tianjiang was lying on the ground and didn't get up. He didn't know when he would have to kneel down anyway, so he might as well lie down.
"I will spare you for today's matter. If you don't abide by the palace rules next time, I will punish you as well. Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Tianjiang slowly got up.
Emperor Chengwu suppressed his anger and turned around and walked into the upper study. The six ministers and Prince Jing glanced at Zhu Tianjiang and followed him in. When Zhu Tianjiang was about to enter, he was stopped by Eunuch Wei.
"Master Zhu, you can't come in now. You need to wait until the emperor gives the approval to the six ministers before declaring you." Eunuch Wei said with a smile.
"Damn it! Why don't you just punish me and beat me up in the Qiang Palace? You are so paralyzed that you have to come here to delay my business." Zhu Tianjiang cursed depressedly.
Eunuch Wei's cheeks trembled. He knew that this rogue was not easy to deal with, so he simply pretended not to hear, turned around and walked up to the study.
Zhu Tianjiang was about to talk to Wei Zhan, but when he turned around, he found that Wei Zhan had already disappeared. Zhu Tianjiang was so depressed that he actually "walked to the study", strolling back and forth at the door.
After a while, the six ministers came out one after another after giving instructions on the six chapters. Zhu Tianjiang cupped his hands and was about to say a few words of courtesy when he heard Eunuch Wei shout.
"Xuan~Ancha envoy Zhu Tianjiang~come to see~!"
Zhu Tianjiang had no choice but to say hello to the six ministers and quickly walked into the study room. He knelt down and saluted again, which made Zhu Tianjiang's knees hurt.
"Zhu Tianjiang, you are now an important minister in the court, and you should learn more court etiquette in the future." Prince Jing said with a straight face.
Zhu Tianjiang's way of kneeling and worshiping is really uncomfortable to watch. He wishes his butt was sticking up to the sky. I don't know who he learned it from.
"Tiancheng, why did you come to me?" Emperor Chengwu didn't take it seriously, and his face could not see the impact of the farce in the harem just now on him.
"Your Majesty, since you have made me a security envoy, you must tell me clearly where I work, how many people I have, and how much power I have."
With a trace of worry on his face, Emperor Chengwu sighed and said, "Tian Jiang, do you know why I set up this government office?"
Zhu Tianjiang smiled inwardly, "I know, one is to stabilize the people of the world, and the other is to eliminate official corruption. Of course, the most important point is that now officials are corrupt and eat up the country's food and salary."
Emperor Chengwu nodded happily, "Prince Jing, it seems that I did not hire the wrong person."
"Haha, I just said that this kid is good, but the emperor still doesn't believe it." Prince Jing said proudly.
"Goddess, our country, Dafeng, is now empty of power. If we don't get rid of corruption, I'm afraid we will destroy our foundation. Today, the six ministers are asking for money. There is not much left in the taxes you collected last time. Where can I ask for money? So. , I set up the Security Procuratorate just to ask you to dig out money for me." Emperor Cheng Wu said seriously.
Zhu Tianjiang heard this and said, "Your Majesty, I can dig out the money for you, but we have agreed that you have to give me some privileges."
Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing looked at each other, and Emperor Chengwu nodded, "Tell me, what privileges do you want?"
"Your Majesty, the position of security envoy is a business that offends people. If it is really carried out in the future, there will definitely be people making irresponsible remarks. Therefore, you cannot punish the minister's crimes casually." Zhu Tianjiang bowed and said.
Emperor Chengwu nodded, "That makes sense, it's accurate!"
"Also, I will find the yamen myself and choose the people myself. This kind of yamen is highly confidential and must not involve outsiders. Otherwise, if you want to investigate anyone, it will definitely be leaked."
"Yes, I agree."
"Also, once I get busy, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late to handle the case, so I'll skip the morning meeting. Anyway, I can take a walk in the study."
Emperor Chengwu looked at Prince Jing, his face was no longer as good-looking as before, but he still agreed to Zhu Tianjiang, "Yes!"
Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly, "Hey, the student has a small request. After the student was injured last time, his waist was a little bad, so do you think this three-kneel-and-nine-kowtow ceremony can be changed to a bow~!"
This time Emperor Chengwu hadn't spoken yet, and Prince Jing couldn't bear to hear it. "I see you have eaten too much croton, believe it or not, I will whip you to death."
Emperor Chengwu said with a face, "This cannot be done. Etiquette is the foundation of the country and cannot be messed with!"
Zhu Tianjiang laughed dryly and said, "Okay, this one doesn't count. The last one, how much rights do you give me?"
"How much power do you want?" Emperor Cheng Wu asked back.
Zhu Tianjiang rolled his eyes and looked at Prince Jing, "Well, except for the emperor, if anyone breaks the law, I have the right to investigate and deal with it!"
Prince Jing was furious, this guy actually wanted to check me? That's not bad. Just when Prince Jing was about to speak, Zhu Tianjiang said immediately, "Of course, except for Prince Jing's thousand years old."
Emperor Chengwu was so angry when he saw Prince Jing's beard that he really dared to ask for power. But if he wanted Zhu Tianjiang to squeeze money from those officials, it would be impossible not to give him certain rights.
.
"Heaven descends, I grant you a gold medal that says 'I am here in person'. This right is great enough."
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, even King Jing was stunned. Emperor Chengwu didn't use Zhu Tianjiang in the past, but he really dared to give power when he used it this time. With this gold medal, this kid has the power of life and death.
In fact, Emperor Chengwu is not stupid. Although such a gold medal has great power, it is not a military talisman. As long as Zhu Tianjiang cannot mobilize military power, he does not care. Moreover, according to the ancestral system, the members of the royal family are not within the scope of this gold medal. They return to the clan.
People's Mansion.
Zhu Daguan was so happy that he said, "Hey, thank you for your kindness. The students will do their best to serve the country."
Prince Jing curled his lips and said, "You brat, look at how happy you are. Now you are satisfied."
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old. You can't say that. I've always been indifferent to joy and anger, and I won't bend even under the weight of a mountain."
"Your grandma's teeth are almost broken, and she's still not beautiful." Prince Jing scolded angrily.
Emperor Chengwu's face also relaxed, and he tapped his fingers on the table, "Tianxiang, I will satisfy you with all the conditions you want. But I also have a request, and you must fulfill it."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Within six months, raise 80 million taels of silver for me." Emperor Cheng Wu leaned forward slightly and stared at Zhu Tianjiang closely.
"Uh!" Zhu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and his heart that was still hot just now turned into a lump of ice.
"Then, what, what the student said just now does not count at all. I will not take this position. Your Majesty, the student has something to do at home, so what, the student should resign first!"
Zhu Tianjiang said in his heart, "You are paralyzed. No wonder you are so kind to me and regard me as a calamity."
"Pah~!" Emperor Chengwu slapped the emperor's case, "You are so bold, how dare you treat my words as child's play."
Zhu Tianjiang had a grimace on his face and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you asking me to steal money?"
"Yes, I just asked your kid to grab the money, because in the entire Dafeng Dynasty, I believe that your kid can get this money back."
Emperor Chengwu said and stood up, "Zhou Yantian is still living alone now. How can I allow others to sleep soundly next to my bed. In half a year, my army will march northward to retake the northern border. All of this must be needed
Money will do. Zhu Tianjiang, I will give you two choices, either get the five hundred palace rods and get out of the palace, and I will never use you from now on. Or, you can just go grab the money for me."
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Emperor Cheng Wu and said, "Isn't this just trying to get the best of you?"
"Your Majesty, fine, I agree to get the money. However, I need a highly respected person to be a senior advisor. As long as this person comes to help me, I will definitely get all the money." Zhu Tianjiang said.
Then he looked at Prince Jing.
Prince Jing trembled with fright, "Brother Emperor, my brother is in poor health. I can't do this kind of job."
Prince Jing was afraid that Emperor Cheng Wu would take advantage of his own brother for money. Even though Prince Jing usually laughed and cursed, he was a good old man in the eyes of officials. Prince Jing did not want to offend those ministers.
Emperor Chengwu ignored Prince Jing and asked coldly, "Who?"
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Prince Jing again. Prince Jing stared and shook the whip in his hand slightly. Zhu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, coughed twice and said.
