Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 113

It is impossible for Chen Yunfu to know that Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son are fighting. He is now in prison and busy with Luo Sanhu's case.

It's not accurate to say this, because the confessions of Luo Sanhu and others were obtained in Luoyang, and now we only need to wait for Xie Hengqu and Luan Kefa to be brought to justice.

The reason why Chen Yunfu came to the Imperial Prison was mainly to say hello to Mao Xiang.

"General Mao, if you don't prevent criminals from wantonly biting and framing Zhongliang, the torture will be saved."

Mao Xiang is a fine person, so he naturally understood the meaning of Chen Yunfu's words.

One is that he does not want Luo Sanhu to suffer, and the other is to remind himself that there is a lot involved in this matter, so don't dig deeper for now.

"I wrote down the words of the Grand Master."

Mao Xiang first patted his chest to express that he knew what he knew, and then greeted him: "If the scholar is free today, can I be your host and let the brothers have a drink or two?"

Chen Yunfu didn't really think about it at first, but then he nodded and said yes.

Why is he also a third-rank commander of Jinyiwei, he has greeted himself for dinner several times, and he has to show face for anything he says, but he always disagrees, and others still think he is showing off.

This is not good.

The two of them didn't go back to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, they found a nearby top-grade restaurant and asked for a private room.

There is no need to explain anything about the dinner, it's just a matter of warming up the relationship, just say that after the meal, Chen Yunfu went home, and Mao Xiang arranged for a few elite guards to escort him all the way home.

The concierge came out to greet him and said, "Great scholar, Duke Dongge, the great scholar of Dongge, came half an hour ago and has been waiting for you in the hall."

Dong Lun?

Chen Yunfu didn't understand what this person was here for, if he didn't go home and rest at this hour, what kind of way would he go to himself.

I can't be a running official, no, I usually look upright when I look at people.

Stepping into the main hall, he saw that Dong Lun was sitting upright drinking tea, no matter in his sitting posture or bearing, he had the demeanor of a Confucian scholar.

Seeing Chen Yunfu, Dong Lun put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and bowed.

"Please sit down quickly." Chen Yunfu bowed his hand to return the salute, and then sat beside Dong Lun and asked curiously, "Why is Xueshi Dong coming here when he has time?"

"Going back to Mingtai, my disciples took the liberty to meet you today because of the abolition of corvee and resumption of business registration that Mingtai mentioned yesterday."

Here Dong Lun called Chen Yunfu's Mingtai a respectful title in ancient official circles, and it was only used for high-level officials, but it is not commonly used.

Chen Yunfu's official position is the Tongzheng Envoy, one of the Nine Ministers, and he is also a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, so everyone in the official circle can call Chen Yunfu the Grand Bachelor or the Tongzheng Envoy.

Both of these are official titles, and the so-called Mingtai is like when we go to a university and ask a professor in private, you can call it a professor, which is a professional title, or you can call it a teacher, and the teacher will appear closer.

In the same way, Dong Lun now privately calls Chen Yunfu Mingtai, just like calling a teacher, it seems close.

As for the self-proclaimed under the door, the simple understanding is that they call themselves 'students'.

Dong Lun stated that he was a student of Chen Yunfu.

From a literal interpretation, there is nothing wrong with Dong Lun's statement, because Chen Yunfu was a Dongge University scholar before, and he can be regarded as Dong Lun's senior. There are many titles. According to the workplace rules, Dong Lun should be called a junior official. If he really wants to get close, he can also be called a junior.

But he chose to be under the door.

The sect is to surrender, expressing his intention to join Chen Yunfu's family.

Official titles are rarely written, but they are full of rules and exquisiteness. Chen Yunfu has been an official in Ming Dynasty for more than two years. The cup of tea he picked up was put back on the table.

"The Grand Scholars and I are co-workers and are both His Majesty's courtiers. If you have any different opinions on the abolition of corvee and restoration of business registration I mentioned, please enlighten me. I will definitely listen to it."

Talk about things and talk about things, don't shout.

You, Dong Lun, are in your thirties, and you claim to be a disciple in front of me, a teenager. If word spreads, wouldn't everyone in the world say that I, Chen Yunfu, am a young boy, arrogant and arrogant?

A blush flashed across Dong Lun's face, and then he smiled awkwardly without losing face.

He came to surrender in such a hurry and was rejected, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he quickly put his identity right, and answered honestly with a serious attitude.

"Mingtai's words are serious. Whether it is the abolition of corvee or the resumption of business registration, the lower officials are very supportive. This move is beneficial to the country and the people, and it will benefit the world. It is a benevolent government."

Chen Yunfu didn't say anything, but looked at Dong Lun with a smile in his eyes.

The latter waited for a while and did not see Chen Yunfu answering, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Today His Royal Highness entered the palace to talk about this matter, but His Majesty was ill, so he did not give an official reply."

Those who sell fame and fame!

Chen Yunfu understood Dong Lun's intention of coming to see him.

This abolition of corvee is undoubtedly a benevolent government. When Zhu Biao was raised, the big credit must be Zhu Biao's not running away, and Dong Lun, as a scholar of Dongge University and the head of Zhu Biao's officials, can naturally follow suit. Fame, but Zhu Biao went to see Zhu Yuanzhang today, and the matter failed, so Dong Lun was a little anxious.

No, came here to inform Chen Yunfu.

Why did Mingtai call himself a member of the sect, and when he came up, he praised Chen Yunfu and expressed his support, that is to say, Dong Lun and Chen Yunfu wore the same pair of pants on this matter, and hoped that Chen Yunfu could find Zhu Biao and urge him again.

As long as this matter is implemented, Dong Lun will gain a great reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

As for why Dong Lun didn't urge Zhu Biao himself, the weight is not enough.

Dong Lun is now the same as Chen Yunfu back then. Although he is a scholar of Dongge University, he is just the secretary-general of Zhu Biao. He can't talk about this kind of thing.

But now that Chen Yunfu is one of the Nine Ministers, he is qualified to speak up about the state policy.

Everyone should speak and act within the rules.

"Since His Majesty is sick, there is no need to rush."

Picking up the teacup again, Chen Yunfu said lightly: "Besides, this matter is just an idea. Whether it is successful or not, it must first be approved by the General Political Department, and then everyone will discuss and discuss it together. Can't do it well."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Dong Lun was secretly startled, this is because he met a master, he became more cautious in front of Chen Yunfu, and he didn't dare to speak so rashly, he responded politely: "It's better for Mingtai to think properly, this day's big matter is also a big deal. It is far less important than His Majesty's holy bow."

"However, with Dong Xueshi's statement today, I feel a lot more at ease." After beating a bit, Chen Yunfu still gave Dong Lun a candy, and praised: "After I said this before, I have always been in my heart." Uneasy, Xueshi Dong was a high-level talent in the Imperial College before, since you agree with it, I feel relieved."

Don't worry, this matter is not a 3-minute hot topic. Since I, Chen Yunfu, dared to speak up, I will definitely look for opportunities to talk to Zhu Biao in the future, so I will take care of this matter, and you just wait for it to hang out with me. Credit it.

But the premise is that you, Dong Lun, remember what you said today, and always support me in the future.

Dong Lun is a fine man in the officialdom, he couldn't understand the implication, so he looked happy, stood up and cupped his hands.

"Xiaguan must cooperate sincerely with Mingtai."

Originally, he wanted to say that only Chen Yunfu was right, but thinking about Chen Yunfu's caution before, Dong Lun changed his words again.

"Okay, it's getting late, Xueshi Dong should return home earlier."

Chen Yunfu got up and pretended to see him off, but Dong Lun waved his hand quickly.

"Mingtai stays, stays, and the next official says goodbye."

Looking at Dong Lun who turned and left, Chen Yunfu chuckled and shook his head.

It's boring playing charades with these bureaucrats.

But then again, what does it mean that Zhu Yuanzhang hid from Zhu Biao when he was ill?
Chen Yunfu frowned, staring at the rising heat of the tea in a daze.

After a long while, his eyes lit up.

There is a door to this matter!
