I want to be a grandson

Chapter 577 It is bearable, but unbearable!

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

In the hall, Zhu Yunxi came to the front of the hall after breakfast, and immediately saluted to him when he saw Qu Tao and Zhang Fu on duty.

"Get up, let's talk inside." After saying that, he led the way into the hall.

After coming to the side hall to sit down, Zhu Yunxi looked towards Zhang Fu, at this time Zhang Fu hurriedly lowered his head in embarrassment, rubbing his sleeves in embarrassment,

But even so, Zhu Yunxi could still see that one of his eyes was blue and purple, which was obviously the mark of being hit by a heavy punch.

Then he said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you to shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes? Why are you fooling around in the market and fighting with others?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty told your subordinates to think about their mistakes behind closed doors. Even if you gave me a hundred courage, I wouldn't dare to go out, and I've already made a clean break with those dudes..."

"Oh, is it true? Then who beat this? Who has the guts?"

In order to make His Majesty happy, Qu Tao made up the knife accurately!

"This...uh, this is my father... my father called..." Before he finished speaking, his face was already flushed, and he was beyond embarrassing.

No matter how majestic I am outside, how polite and respectful others are to me, I still have to be beaten by my father when I get home!

You can only be beaten, but you can't fight back!At most, I just want to escape, if I really can't escape, I can only hold my head hard...

It is only natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son, how can there be any reason for this?

"Hehehe, you are sincere!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Your father is back, why didn't you bring him into the palace to see me? If he beats you again, just say you won't bring him into the palace. Let's see if he dares to do it!"

Zhang Fu was taken aback, when did his father, who admired him, get such treatment?How could he still enter the palace to face the saint?
But he immediately realized that this was a gift from His Majesty to his father!Quickly bowed and saluted: "My acting father, thank you Your Majesty Long En!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Bring him to the palace another day. I just want to know the situation of the Tatars, and also want to know the deployment and combat strength of the frontier army."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys the order. I must make my father ready for your Majesty's inquiries!"

"By the way, I only know that your father returned to Beijing, and he hasn't read the official documents from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. What's the matter with him this time?"

"Uh, my dad said that he hasn't been back to Beijing for a while, and his body needs to recuperate for a few days, so...so..."

This was Zhang Yu's reason for returning to Beijing. At that time, Zhang Fu was afraid that his father would find out about his affairs, so he didn't care about it. Thinking about it now, such an excuse is full of loopholes!

Zhang Yu is also a battle-tested man who has guarded the border for many years, and he is not a playboy with a loving son and daughter. How could he come back because he was homesick!
And what he said that the body needs to be recuperated is nothing more than an excuse!If the body is really bad, can you beat yourself black and blue?

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, turned to Qu Tao who was at the side, and said, "Is there someone named Zhu Neng in the frontier army at Beiping Mansion?"

Qu Tao saluted and replied, "Your Majesty, there is Zhu Neng. His father, Zhu Liang, was the deputy Qianhu of Yanshan Zhongwei. His father died in Hongwu 27. Under the king's command."

"Um……"

Zhu Yunxi hummed lightly and said: "After the Chinese New Year, the martial arts class will start. Let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies inform King Yan that Zhu Neng, the deputy thousand household, will come to the martial arts hall to study. As for the position of deputy thousand household...let the master General Sapphire nominates one."

"Yes, I obey!"

Zhang Fu blinked his eyes, he was a little confused at this moment, why did he jump on Zhu Neng's body all of a sudden while talking about his father?
Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu knew about it, and had seen him face to face, but they were not familiar with him. They only knew that he was his father's colleague. As for the relationship between them, because Zhang Yu came back rarely, and he never talked about official business in his letters. So Zhang Fu didn't know about it.

However, His Majesty asked him to "study" in the martial arts hall. From the looks of it, this is to beat Zhu Neng,
Could it be...

Thinking of this, Zhang Fu frowned a little...

At this time Li Fu came to report that several courtiers had been ordered to come and were already waiting outside the Jinshen Hall.

Zhu Yunxi let them in and began to discuss matters.

Finding a chance, Zhang Fu approached Qu Tao and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with Zhu Neng? Why did Your Majesty let him come to the lecture hall?"

Qu Tao glanced at him, but didn't answer.

As it was about his father, Zhang Fu was naturally anxious and asked, "It's not something taboo, just tell me, does it have something to do with my father?"

It's no wonder that Zhang Fu didn't think so. His Majesty first brought his father with kindness, let him enter the palace to face the saint, and then turned around and beat Zhu Neng.
If it had nothing to do with his father, Zhang Fu wouldn't believe anything!
And the reason why he asked Qu Tao was because he was not with His Majesty some time ago, so he must have missed something.

Moreover, Qu Tao is His Majesty's confidant, and His Majesty often allows him to be present for those private matters, and there is no need to avoid it, so Zhang Fu is sure that he must know!

Qu Tao frowned and said: "The imperial court let generals from all over the country enter the martial arts hall one after another. This is the resolution of His Majesty and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. This time it should only be Zhu Neng's turn. Don't think too much about it."

"Do you believe this?" Zhang Fu asked back.

Qu Tao turned his head and looked ahead, obviously unwilling to talk to him anymore.

"General Qu, Brother Qu, just tell me, how about I treat you to a drink later? Which restaurant do you like? How about I charter a flower boat on the Qinhuai River for you to have fun?" Ah?"

"Go away! Dogs can't spit out ivory!"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Fu kept pestering him. In the end, Qu Tao had no choice but to say, "I just want to tell you, Jin Yiwei reported that your father was excluded in the north a few days ago..."

In one sentence, Zhang Fu immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth!

He understood that it must be because his father rejected the marriage proposal proposed by King Yan, that's why he was looked down upon and excluded by others!

Perhaps Yan Wang Zhu Di would not say anything on the surface. After all, he is a vassal king with a noble status, and many times he would not end in person at all...

But the people below will definitely figure out the meaning of the above, and will definitely become dog legs and do something to please the master!
At any time, anyone is severely reprimanded and loses their Sacred Heart, then there will definitely be some people who will make trouble and bite like hunting dogs!
Although Zhu Neng is not as high as his father's official position, but the two do not belong to each other, and he is the confidant of Yan Wang Zhu Di, so even if he said some crazy words, there were some contradictory, sarcasm in his words, his father still I really can't do anything about him!
But as a son of man, knowing that his father suffered such humiliation, how could he swallow this breath!
What can be endured and what can't be endured!
So an idea immediately appeared in his mind...

Since then, he has been very concerned about the matter of the martial arts hall...

In the palace, Zhu Yunxi was discussing matters with several courtiers.

It's just that Ren Hengtai, Minister of Rites at this time, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Because sitting in the side hall are Qi Tai, Minister of Officials, Tie Xuan, Secretary of Commerce, Bao Zhao, Lang Zhong of the Household Department, Jing Qing and Lian Zining of the Duchayuan, and Jian Yi of the General Administration...

In other words, apart from myself, all of them were promoted by His Majesty himself!
Could this be another Hongmen banquet?

Of course, this Shangshu himself was also promoted by His Majesty from the assistant minister...

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the chair very leisurely, and said to everyone: "A few days ago, I went to Wenyuan Pavilion to look through the collection of books in the palace, and I noticed a problem, and then I went to the bookstore in the capital. Can't figure it out."

"Your Majesty, what is it?" Qi Tai asked.

"Well, let's put it this way, assuming that everyone here is going to buy books, but how do you distinguish between good and bad books?"

Qi Tai replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, when I buy books, I can look at the quality of the printing and the paper. Is it clear to me whether the paper is durable? Sometimes it depends on where the book is printed. Generally speaking, through these It can be judged good or bad..."

Zhu Yunxi was obviously dissatisfied with such an answer, and then asked: "These can be seen with a little discernment, but there are some things that cannot be known without careful inspection.
The appearance is easy to distinguish, but the content is difficult to understand. How can you tell whether there are personal items hidden in it, and how can you know whether the book you bought contains any treasonous words that slander the imperial court? "

"This……"

This question immediately shocked everyone!

If anyone really published these remarks in the book, and he accidentally sold it, if he was reported by others, it would really be a troublesome matter!

If you really encounter a major court case, you may even lose your head!

Zhu Yunxi turned to Ren Hengtai and asked, "Ren Butang, you are the Minister of Rites, and you should be the most familiar with the books read by the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. Please tell me."

Ren Hengtai's face was obviously solemn, and he saluted and said: "Yes, my minister obeyed... As for the books, my Ming Dynasty did not restrict too much. The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" edited by the Supreme Emperor in those days,
In many ways, it borrowed from the punishments of the Song and Yuan dynasties, but it deleted all the content related to writing and book printing restrictions, so that people all over the world can write books and talk about it. "

Immediately afterwards he said, "However, not everything can be written by ordinary people. The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" issued in the sixth year of Hongwu stipulates: "All private collections of mysterious artifacts, astronomical prophecies, books that should be banned, images of emperors of all dynasties, gold and jade talismans Seals and other objects, rod one hundred;
If a person who studies astronomy privately, the crime is the same, and one or twelve taels of silver will be chased under the prisoner's name, and the reward will be given to the accuser. "

Therefore, the imperial court imposed stricter punishments on writing, publishing, selling or using "demon books". One hundred, three years."

"Wang Zhong, bring it."

Zhu Yunxi beckoned, Wang Zhong understood, and immediately carried the thick book of Great Ming Law, put it on the table, and turned it to the place he had marked.

Then he pointed out what Ren Hengtai said.

"Let's continue with Ren Butang." Seeing that Ren Hengtai stopped, Zhu Yunxi ordered him to continue.

"Yes, I obey,
Not only books read by literati, but also operas, lyrics, novels, Jiwen, etc. are strictly prohibited from blaspheming emperors and sages, and the creation of Zaju is strictly prohibited. "

"In the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", there is a "Forbidden to Miscellaneous Biography Law", which records: Fanle people are not allowed to dress up as emperors, concubines, loyal ministers, sages and gods. Offenders can stick one hundred. Officials and people The house pretends to be a fellow sinner."

"In addition, it is strictly prohibited to privately engrave almanacs, books that are not on the agenda of Zhu Neo Confucianism, and anthologies of stereotyped essays are strictly prohibited.

For the "Five Classics and Four Books" and some important books, the "official version issued by the imperial court" was adopted as the style, and it was stipulated that only "reprinted according to the original version, and private adaptation is prohibited."

After listening to his speech, Zhu Yunxi asked: "Does Ren Butang think that, as the Law of the Ming Dynasty said, it is possible to prohibit sorcerous speech?"

"Or, once the demon book appears, can it be vigilant by the general public and investigated by the government?"

"This one……"

Ren Hengtai was at a loss for words.

Of course not, these are just restrictive measures made by the court.

But when people print demon books, who would write directly on the book cover that they are banned books?Who would openly admit that he was slandering the king?

Zhu Yunxi didn't embarrass him either, but went on to say: "Qi Tai, what were the rules for publishing books in the Song and Yuan Dynasties?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty," Qi Tai saluted, "The Yuan Dynasty was the most strict about publishing books. If you want to print a book, you must first hand over the manuscript to the local gentry, and entrust the gentry to hand it over to the local officials for review.

After passing the local inspection, it will be handed over to the imperial court for review, and then it can be engraved and published. Therefore, it is recorded that "the people of the Yuan Dynasty engraved books, they must be read by the Ministry of Education, and they will be engraved by the Secretary."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then glanced at Jiang Yu who was standing beside him.

Jiang Yu immediately understood, took out a book from his arms and said, "My lords, this is the book that Jin Yiwei bought at the market in Suzhou Mansion, the name is..."

Having said that, he stopped and turned his gaze to Zhu Yunxi.

"It's okay to speak up!"

"Yes, my minister complied. This book is called "Records of the Emperor's Ming Dynasty". It is said that it was written by a man named Yu Ben who followed the Supreme Emperor in his early years, and his official position was a knight of the imperial army..."

Hearing this, several courtiers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

If it is said that they are all civil servants and are not familiar with some low-level generals, then it is understandable.

But what makes them wonder is when did the imperial court have the official position of "Forbidden Army Knight"?

Zhu Yunxi said: "Qi Tai, you are in charge of the official department. Tell me, who is this Yu Ben? Bao Zhao, you are a doctor in the household department, and you are in charge of the salary distribution of officials all over the world. Tell me, is there such a person in the imperial court?" people?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there has never been such a person in the official register of the Ministry of Officials!"

"There is no such person as an official with a salary from the Ministry of Households!"

Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes to Qu Tao again, and Qu Tao immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there is no such official position as Imperial Guard Knight in the imperial court, and there is no such person as Yu Ben. The author of this book must be a fake!"
