Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 302 Zhu Houzhao's Attitude
Qin Shao reacted, and his expression froze.

He knew that Zhu Houzhao would meet him.

There was no news from Jiang Bin after he went back, and Qin Shao vaguely knew that it was not that simple.

No matter how temperamental Zhu Houzhao is, he is an emperor after all. Naturally, he will have a different mood from ordinary people when looking at his own status.

"My lord, do you think there will be any problems?"

Wang Yin asked with some worry.

"What's the problem? Don't worry, it's fine."

Qin Shao smiled.

If something went wrong, I'm afraid Zhu Houzhao didn't come to see him, but came directly to them and they were arrested.

Now that Zhu Houzhao summoned him, at least it proved that he had thought about this matter.

They come, the security!
As for his attitude, we can only see tomorrow.

……

No sleep for one night.

After breakfast the next day, Qin Shao took Wang Yin to Leopard Square after packing up.

According to his orders, Zhang Cong and An Yongzhen have already moved out of his mansion.

Zhang Cong has a new house, and An Yongzhen's wealth has already bought a house without any problem, it's just that he has a prodigal personality.

He didn't plan to get married, and he didn't want to have a family life, let alone buy a house. He liked to be lively and unrestrained, so he moved directly to live in the tea house.

In fact, there was his residence there, but he moved to Qin Shao's place for fun, and now he is considered to be back to his residence.

When he arrived at Zhu Houzhao's office in Baofang, Wang Yin was stopped and only Qin Shao was allowed to pass by.

Wang Yin was a little worried, and Qin Shao waved his hand to signal him to rest assured.

"Ziming! Hahaha! Ziming, you're finally here. I've been busy for the past few days. I originally asked you to come over for a chat earlier, but it's been delayed until now."

Zhu Houzhao laughed and walked over, greeting Qin Shao warmly.

"Ziming, why didn't you reveal your identity earlier? We are all on our own! I really didn't expect you to be Uncle Xing's eldest son! How can I say that you look so familiar! So it's our Zhu family! Father is still alive When I was young, I had the closest relationship with Uncle Xing, and asked me to take care of Uncle Wang before leaving, speaking of it, I still remember when Uncle Wang hugged me to catch crickets when I was young, how many years have passed since then!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed, grabbing Qin Shao's hand, like a brother who hasn't seen for many years.

"My majesty is more concerned. Although my father is not in good health now, he can finally get out of bed and move around! He also often mentions the emperor, saying that the emperor has been smart since he was a child, and he is a heroic young man. My Ming Dynasty is under the leadership of the emperor. My younger brother planted land in Anlu Prefecture, the emperor exempted the people from paying taxes, everyone is full of praise for the emperor, thank you very much!"

In the past few years Qin Shao has been here, he has also casually spoken words on the scene.

Especially the latter words made Zhu Houzhao's expression very good-looking.

"Your Majesty, when I came here earlier, my father had already written an apology letter and asked my younger brother to bring it to plead guilty to the emperor. Even if we didn't hide it intentionally, we did not conform to the ancestral system after all, and we are afraid of uneasiness. , please make amends, Your Majesty!"

When Qin Shao came, the letter of plea written by King Xing was respectfully given to Zhu Houzhao.

"What crime can there be? Those who don't know are not guilty, it's just a mistake! Uncle Wang is so polite!"

Zhu Houzhao said politely, but still took the apology and opened it for study.

The content of the letter is nothing more than saying that the eldest son was sent out for foster care, and he failed to recognize each other by mistake. Later, he met but had already participated in the scientific examination and violated the ancestral system, and asked the emperor to punish him.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao waited for several days to see Qin Shao was, after all, to send someone to investigate.

The Miao Daoist and Qin Shao's aunt are no longer there.

There is also the information that the Ministry of Rites went to Xuanmiao Temple to investigate, but seeing that the eldest son thought it was a bit silly, he didn't record it.

What Jin Yiwei can investigate is not much different from what is reported.

It's just a child who is said to be prone to short-lived life being fostered. The child is bold and doesn't know his identity, and secretly participated in the scientific examination.

"Hahaha! Uncle Xing Wang is too polite! What is the crime? I also often worry about the issue of the heirs of King Xing. Now that King Xing has you, it is a blessing in disguise. You don't have to be polite! Now my Zhu family is in need of talents, you It happens to be from my Zhu family, so I must help and assist me in the future."

Zhu Houzhao put down the letter and said kindly.

"Your majesty... my father is not in good health and I am getting old. I want to go back and fulfill my filial piety. If your majesty knows me well, he should know that I just wanted to buy land and get tax-free when I took the scientific examination. Being a small landlord is enough! Things, I... I'm just messing around with a blind cat and a dead mouse. I really don't know what to do with it..."

Qin Shao said deliberately hesitantly.

I don't know why, under Zhu Houzhao's enthusiasm, people always feel an indescribable sense of alienation, maybe he is overthinking!
"Is Uncle Xing's health really that bad?"

"In the previous fire in the palace, my father was seriously injured, and he was already suffering from insanity, which was affected, and now his body is not as good as before. Our whole family has withered, and my father said that his greatest hope is that I can be safe and sound. Luzhou lives in peace, gets married and has children."

In fact, this is indeed the true intention of King Xing at present.

After undergoing drastic changes, Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao's state of mind has already undergone major changes.

"Ziming, this is not your true intention, is it? I remember that you suggested that I let the clan take part in the scientific examination, but now you want to withdraw yourself. I really don't understand!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Qin Shao with scrutiny.

"Your Majesty, I did suggest to the Emperor to allow the clan to participate in the scientific examination, because when I came to Shangjing, I passed Bianjing, and a branch of the clan who sold vegetables helped us a lot. During the conversation, I learned about the living conditions of the members of the remote clan. , Some of them have ambitions but can't stretch them, they have nowhere to study, they can only live on the imperial salary, and many people don't even have enough food and drink, life is very difficult!"

"And the imperial court spent a lot of effort in supporting the imperial family. At that time, as an eunuch, I gave advice as an idea to share the imperial court's worries! Now that I am a child of the imperial family, this kind of thinking is still inappropriate. Your majesty, my ministers are not talented, but The economic conditions are not bad. As a member of the Ming clan, I know that the imperial court is not easy. If I really want to say it, I hope that the imperial court can deprive the clan's salary and let everyone support themselves, instead of being rice bugs! Consider giving up your salary and earning your own living, and now, this is still my suggestion."

Qin Shao bowed his head and replied.

"Hahaha! Ziming, there is no need to be so serious. You look too serious! I know what you are thinking. You are only thinking about the court and my country. After all, we are our own people. Those so-called Minister... don't talk about it, I can only rely on our own people now!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed, then sighed, and walked to Qin Shao's side.

"Xing Wang's Mansion will always support the emperor, and stand on the same line with the emperor!"

Qin Shao said directly.

"Good! Good! Good! Ziming, I am very pleased with your words. If all the feudal lords support me, do I need to worry about those people? It seems that it is time to go to the south to visit the feudal lords!"

Zhu Houzhao looked a little excited.

"The emperor is planning to go to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Qin Shao asked in surprise.
