First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 728 Placement
In front of the gate of Pan's Mansion in Liyang County, a carriage drove quickly, and before it could stop, a delicate-looking little woman jumped down in a rather embarrassing state, and rushed in staggeringly.

"Woo~ Dad, Dad!"

Two or three idlers saw it and sneered and said, "Hey, all the married ladies of the Pan family have rushed back to attend her father's funeral, and Mr. Pan Fu and Young Master Pan haven't made a move yet. He's really filial."

"How dare he, haven't you heard? The officials in Beijing have rushed back again, just to arrest him, just wait for him to throw himself into the trap."

"I don't know who can benefit from the wealth of the Pan family in the end?"

"Heh, who else could it be? Of course, the magistrate of the county and the gentlemen from Beijing closed the door to share a share. Can it still fall into the hands of our two brothers?"

"Let's go, let's play elsewhere. It's fine if we don't get the money, but don't get into trouble. If Pan Fu can't catch him, maybe the official will catch us and put us on the top."

Ma Ze, a pale-faced official of the Ministry of Justice in Pan's residence, looked coldly at the woman who broke in and did not speak or stop her. The crimes of the Pan family could not be weighed down on her by the water splashed by the married daughter.

A daughter in the house is punished by her parents; a married woman is punished by her husband's family.

The woman cried suddenly, and a man dressed as a scholar ran in from behind. It was Pan's husband. After entering, he did not look at his father-in-law, but first greeted Ma Ze and Liyang County Magistrate with a smile.

The Yue family left a rich family property, and the brother-in-law committed a crime, probably because he didn't have the luck to inherit the family business. It should have been his turn, a son-in-law, half a son-in-law, but unfortunately in the current situation, he is afraid of getting burned.

If it wasn't for his wife insisting on coming, it would be too late to hide...

"Lang Guan, it's true that Pan Fu is no longer in Liyang. Since I took office, I have been dispatching servants to guard the main entrances and exits. The thief must have fled to another county."

Ma Ze turned his head slightly and said: "The new official is taking office, will the county servants below be willing to listen to your orders?"

"It is impossible to say, but once Panda dies and Pan Fu flees, the reputation of the Pan family will no longer be able to restrain people's hearts, and the old hatred of bullying and insulting in the past will come up. I dare not say that everyone will be useful, but Pan Fu thinks It’s impossible to cover the sky with one hand.”

Ma Ze nodded slightly but still instructed: "Don't be negligent, and don't trust the county magistrate completely. Find a few people who have great enemies with the Pan family, or the nephew you brought to watch."

"promise."

...............

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, but seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not say anything harsh after all, the case was urgent, and it was not surprising that someone took advantage of the loophole, not to mention that Shang Honghai's secret report was also delivered, and there was actually a Xiangfu in Liyang .

"Add more people to hunt down the criminals as soon as possible and bring them to justice. They must not mistakenly kill a person by mistake. You must know the truth that the people are easy to abuse and the sky is hard to deceive."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this humble minister will never dare to disappoint His Majesty and Your Highness's mission of appointing the world's top criminal officials."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, saying that this is to remind Chen Mingjie that no matter who wants to interfere in this matter, he must not compromise, otherwise he will never tolerate it.

But I didn't expect that Hu Weiyong would not even let go of the flesh of the fly's leg. It can be seen that it is indeed a lack of money, otherwise the dignified Prime Minister would not be here.

After the Minister of Criminal Affairs retired, Zhu Biao went back to the side hall to continue eating. When something went wrong in the case, Chen Mingjie didn't dare to tell Lao Zhu directly, so he took a coincidence and reported it to the prince first. How angry the Holy Majesty was, he would not tell His Highness Fat, this matter will become a minor matter.

After finishing his meal, Zhu Biao took the towel and wiped his hands, got up and walked towards the Jinshen Hall. After the old Zhu retreated, he began to review the memorials, and the hard work of the day began again.

Slowly stepping into the Jinshen Palace, the court ladies and eunuchs avoided bowing to both sides, but they did not open their mouths to greet them. The Jinshen Palace is the worst place to be noisy, disturbing the thoughts of the Holy Majesty, but it is a felony.

Looking at the porridge bowl that has not been removed from the imperial case, he said coldly: "Father, is it ready?"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his stomach and laughed loudly: "Boy, can't we eat another bowl if we're hungry?"

Empress Ma got up early this morning and personally cooked two bowls of longan meat porridge. According to the imperial physician, this porridge appetizers and spleen, nourishes the mind, improves the mind, enlightens the gods, calms the five treasures, strengthens the soul and lightens the body for a long time, and has great effects.

Of course, whether the later effect is uncertain, but it is indeed full of color and fragrance. Lao Zhu went down to Zhu Biao and saw Mingsheng. It was just when he was hungry, but he didn’t expect Lao Zhu to see that there were only two bowls, so he insisted on wrapping it himself. and drove his son out to eat in the dining room.

Zhu Biao said: "My mother has been away from Beijing for several months, but my son has been thinking about the soup made by my mother."

"We have been touring the north for so long, but we haven't eaten any food cooked by your mother."

"Doesn't that mean that this porridge was made by the empress mother lovingly for the son?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his jaw and said earnestly and earnestly: "Biaoer, what is a bowl of porridge? I think you haven't eaten it now, and your mother hasn't prepared the lunch yourself. You have to know the basics of the dishes at that time." .”

Zhu Biao shook his head angrily and laughed. Although he was still a little dissatisfied on the face, he was actually happy in his heart. It was a rare experience in this world that Lao Zhu could still bully him like this.

Lao Zhu looked at his son, who had always been as deep as the sea, so childish, and felt happier than eating three big bowls of porridge. After sitting on the world and being rich, the joy was actually getting less and less day by day.

Monarchs and ministers are different, besides their father and son, who else can they joke with like this?
As far as Zhu Yuanzhang is concerned, he is not alone if he has a wife and son.

The jokes between the father and son subsided after a while, the vivid emotions on their faces subsided, and an inexplicable heavy breath filled the hall, and the servant who was still smiling at the corner of his mouth suddenly became dull and went about his work carefully.

"In the Liyang case, the person arrested by the Ministry of Punishment made a mistake, and someone pretended to be a scapegoat. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and his son reported it just now."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and didn't say anything. He doesn't care about this matter. There are so many states in this world. If he has to pay attention to the case of one county, then his body made of steel can't bear it.

"By the way, we sent someone to send Chen Li to Korea. You should ask someone to take care of him. Don't let him die like this."

A mere Chen Li, if he really wanted to kill him, he would kill him immediately. Since he was going to be sent to Korea, then he was too lazy to care and wanted to show his dignity, so he didn't want him to die, which aroused public opinion from all over the world.

"The minister will ask Jiang Side to take care of him and distribute the land."

"Well, you want to replace Liu Bowen with Mingsheng?"

"Yes, Sichuan is adjacent to Yunnan, Guizhou and Nanyang. They have to show them the courage of my Ming Dynasty. It is better to attack the heart than to seize the land by force, and to defeat others without fighting."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment. He was not worried that Ming Sheng would rebel, but he was worried that he would not be able to govern Sichuan well when he was young. His son had plans for the future. As an emperor, he had to think more about the people under his rule.

"Follow the administrative measures formulated by Liu Bowen first, and then assign him a few more capable ministers to assist him in governing Sichuan. It is expected that there will be no major mistakes. After all, there will be no more wars in Sichuan."

Seeing that his father was still a little worried, Zhu Biao continued, "The former minister of Dali Temple, Yan Donglai, is recovering day by day. There are no vacancies in central Beijing. Sichuan is a good place to go. With him here, my father should feel at ease."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, Yan Donglai is a capable official, needless to say, but according to his seniority and rank, it is enough to succeed Liu Bowen as Sichuan Pingzhang's political affairs, and it would be a bit wronged to serve as Ming Sheng's assistant official .

"so be it."

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Ming Sheng was married to the daughter of Zhang Wenbing, the Zhiyuan, when he was in the middle of Shu, but her daughter died of a sudden illness before entering the family. She has no wife or children for a while."

I didn't mention it before, after Ming Xia's fall, Ming Sheng and his mother went to Beijing, although the country was destroyed, but the blood still needs to be passed on, Empress Dowager Peng naturally wanted to find a suitable wife for her son.

However, Mingsheng's reputation as Marquis of Guiyi is too famous, and the family who is a little bit rich will not consider it. After all, who knows when Mingsheng will suddenly die suddenly, marrying a daughter is not sending a daughter to die.

Empress Dowager Peng despises the daughter of ordinary people. Her son used to be the emperor, but now he is still a marquis. After all, he must be a well-educated daughter from a wealthy family.

This has dragged on until now, Mingsheng is one year older than Zhu Biao, not to mention children, he doesn't even have a wife.
