Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 91

As Zhu Biao's identity was recognized, things became easier.

Everyone in Guanglu Temple was imprisoned.

Yes, without exception, including Mr. Gao, the Minister of Guanglu Temple.

This is a matter of common concern to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao. There is no room for extrajudicial mercy, and no one dares to intercede.

Of course, this batch of glass was still sent to the palace.

Lishui County.

Zhu Biao came to Su Jing with enough money, and he respectfully saluted Su Jing:
"Master Su, this is the payment for the glass, please take it away, Master Su."

Su Jing just glanced at it and roughly estimated the price. It was really the price on the contract, which was [-]% higher than the normal market price.

It seems that the family background behind his apprentice is really not simple, and even Guanglu Temple has not been able to get the slightest benefit.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhu Biao made up the money himself.

"Niu Yi, haven't I already said that I only charge the cost of this batch of business, and the rest is yours."

Su Jing shook her head and said.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao immediately became anxious, and he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Su, the student's performance this time is already bad enough. If Su still accepts Mr. Su's money, then the student will really feel bad."

"I also ask Master Su to accept it."

While speaking, Zhu Biao had already bowed almost ninety degrees towards Su Jing.

What happened this time was really not beautiful.

The deception in Guanglu Temple has completely disgraced the royal family.

No matter what Zhu Biao did, he couldn't get the money.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, thought for a while, and said, "That's fine, I'll keep the money for now."

"Thank you, Master Su!"

Zhu Biao thanked, obviously it was a gift of money, but Zhu Biao was extremely happy.

Not to mention the disgusting operation done by Guanglu Temple, the value of the telescope that can be made from this batch of glass is quite high.

In Zhu Biao's view, the money was not too much.

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't continue to thank me here, you must be tired from eating, drinking and having fun these two days, take a good rest and take your time."

As someone who has been there, Su Jing knows that although Zhu Biao only needs to eat, drink and have fun these two days, he is actually physically and mentally exhausted.

Because he was the one to worry about, and those two Guanglu Temple purchases were pure enjoyment.

The difference can only be understood by personal experience.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded, turned and returned to his room.

He does need rest, physical and mental fatigue, not so easy to solve.

Even the original plan to write a letter to his father Zhu Yuanzhang was put aside for the time being.

He is really tired.

Ying Tianfu.

In the Forbidden City, the ruling and opposition parties, the incident at Guanglu Temple was still slightly shaken.

The top and bottom officials of Guanglu Temple were almost turned upside down.

According to Lao Zhu's regulations in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", 60 taels of ink can be used to peel day lilies.

This matter was almost committed under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose, so naturally no one dared to intercede.

The imperial prison was filled with people all of a sudden, waiting to be executed by Qiuhou.

Inside Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers below with a straight face.

"The Guanglu Temple case, does anyone have anything to say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent voice sounded in the hall, it was extremely depressing.

Don't look at the people standing here are all the founding heroes, civil servants and military generals are all famous.

But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they could only shrink back obediently.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang could suppress them like this.

Perhaps, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already thinking about how to help his son Zhu Biao to transition to a stable regime.

"I apologize!"

Li Shanchang, the Duke of South Korea, came out and took the initiative to plead guilty to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang and said, "Shanchang, what is your crime?"

Only then did Li Shanchang reply: "The matter of Guanglu Temple may have been avoided if I could implement His Royal Highness' reform strategy."

"His Royal Highness is worried about state affairs, but the minister failed to fulfill His Royal Highness's entrustment, which led to such a thing. The minister is guilty."

Li Shanchang was also quite straightforward. After speaking, he knelt down in front of all the courtiers.

Who is he?
That was Prime Minister Zuo of Ming Dynasty, who was ranked among the Dukes of Korea.

In Fengtian Hall, apart from Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang is the biggest.

When he knelt down like this, the expressions of the other ministers also changed.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words and said: "Shanchang, I have already learned about this matter. You have already conveyed the prince's decree to the past. It was just that Gaul deliberately delayed it, and it has nothing to do with you."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang trusted Li Shanchang, when investigating Guanglu Temple, he still pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and even found out what happened at that time.

Li Shanchang immediately said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I feel that I have not done well enough. I implore Your Majesty to continue to let you continue to implement His Royal Highness' anti-corruption strategy, and make meritorious deeds!"

It has to be said that Li Shanchang's operation made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.

Li Shanchang is cooperating with him to give Prince Zhu Biao a prestige!
Zhu Yuanzhang likes such a courtier very much!

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Since you have the heart to be good, then go ahead and do it. If you encounter obstacles, I will definitely kill you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not conceal the killing intent in his words at all. Killing people and beheadings was commonplace for Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was used to it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best."

Li Shanchang led the order to stand up, very respectful.

Then they talked about some state affairs, and a court meeting came to an end.

Outside the Fengtian Hall, on the long steps are the figures of the courtiers slowly descending.

This Hu Weiyong leaned towards Li Shanchang, and whispered: "Congratulations, Prime Minister Zuo."

Li Shanchang said with a normal face: "Weiyong, where does this joy come from? Today I am the body of the apology."

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "The prime minister's plea is a stroke of genius! I admire you a lot."

Hearing this, a look of joy flashed across Li Shanchang's face, but then disappeared: "Why, what did you see?"

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "The Guanglu Temple case is obviously a disaster, and whoever touches it will be in trouble."

"However, the Prime Minister did the opposite and took the initiative to plead guilty. This will definitely leave a good impression in His Majesty's heart."

Of course, this is also inseparable from my suggestion at the time, and it is very important to implement it honestly.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang could not find any reason to continue the confession.

Hu Weiyong left a half sentence in his mind, and continued: "The implementation of His Royal Highness's anti-corruption decree must have had a lot of resistance in the first place. Guanglu Temple has now become the chicken that kills chickens to warn monkeys. When the Prime Minister implements it again, all resistance will naturally just disappeared."

"When the matter is done, it will be a great achievement. Whether it is His Majesty or His Royal Highness, they will only think of the prime minister."

This wave of analysis made Li Shanchang quite comfortable.

"Weiyong, you think too much, I don't think so much, but I just try my best to do things for His Majesty."

Li Shanchang stroked his beard and said lightly.

I have to say, this old man is really good at saving face.

"Yes, yes, yes, the prime minister is concerned about the country and the people. Everything is for Daming, for His Majesty, it's the officials who say too much."

Hu Weiyong immediately agreed, and he still has some insight.

Li Shanchang nodded and said: "Weiyong, you are very good, and you will do your best for His Majesty in the future. His Majesty's eyes are bright, and His Majesty can see what you have done."

Li Shanchang still remembers the question about Hu Weiyong before.

Things can develop to the present situation, Hu Weiyong's credit is not low.

If you want the horse to run, you still have to give the horse grass.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern."

Hu Weiyong bowed his hands and saluted, he already understood what Li Shanchang meant.

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Weiyong, in fact, there is another important reason why I pleaded guilty today."

Hu Weiyong frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked: "Please ask the Prime Minister to clarify."

Li Shanchang paused slightly, and only said two words: "Prince."

Your Royal Highness!

When Hu Weiyong thought about it, his face suddenly changed.

He immediately understood the joints. Li Shanchang's apology today, on the one hand, made Zhu Yuanzhang happy and continued to let him do this anti-corruption work.

Another very important point is to express your attitude towards Prince Zhu Biao, which is absolute respect.

This is to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang that he, Prime Minister Zuo, is as loyal as ever to both the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince Zhu Biao.

This is important!

Hu Weiyong knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious in his character.

"Do you understand?"

Li Shanchang looked at Hu Weiyong and asked.

"Understood, thank you, Prime Minister, for your suggestion!"

Hu Weiyong saluted again, this time more seriously.

"Okay, let's go back, what to do."

Li Shanchang waved his hand and continued down the stairs.

Hu Weiyong nodded silently, and waited until Li Shanchang walked away before slowly descending the stairs.

For this "noble man" who can support him, Hu Weiyong has a little more different emotions in his heart.

Li Shanchang's way of being an official, the way of governing, and the way of getting along with monarchs and ministers are all quite well-crafted.

It should have started well and ended well, but what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because he supported Hu Weiyong that he was implicated in his later years and could not end well.

Of course, these are all for later.

Inside the Hall of Fong Xian.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the court, he walked quickly, because at the same time as he was in the case class of Guanglu Temple, the glass that was delivered was being driven into lenses by craftsmen, and then assembled into telescopes.

At this time, dozens of telescopes were already placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

"Let me see, these telescopes can do the same as Su Jing."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up an imitation and immediately began to try it out.

In terms of the exquisiteness of the appearance, these imitations completely blown Su Jing's telescope.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang actually used it, he found that it was not as easy to use as Su Jing's.

It can be seen by looking at it, but the picture is not as clear as Su Jing, and it is uncomfortable to adjust the focus.

This situation is normal for purely hand-polished lenses.

However, for marching, it is barely enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up other binoculars and tried it again. Either there was a real problem, or there was a problem.

It's just that none of them are as useful as those made by Su Jing.

"What the hell? A group of people can't even compare to Su Jing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed and said that he had just dealt with the matter of Guanglu Temple, and his anger was still strong.

"Chongba, what's the matter?"

Empress Ma came to Zhu Yuanzhang with soup. She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was the kind of person who forgot to eat whenever something happened, so she specially cooked some soup.

"Don't talk about it, I asked the Ministry of Industry to imitate Su Jing's telescope to make a batch of the same ones, but they all turned out to be crooked melons and cracked dates!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said a little angrily.

Empress Ma said curiously: "Have they all been delivered? It's pretty fast. Let me take a look."

Empress Ma picked up those imitation binoculars, and after trying a few, she felt that her eyes were a little tired.

"It's really not as good as Mr. Su's."

Empress Ma nodded and said: "However, it is understandable. It took Mr. Su a long time to make it. It is not so easy for others to imitate it."

There is some truth in what he said. In order to make this telescope, Su Jing tried many times to adjust it, and failed many times in the middle.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry made it under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, and there was a time limit.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Isn't it just two lenses and a cylinder? Su Jing has already made ready-made ones, so just follow suit. These guys from the Ministry of Industry are just doing nothing!"

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, covered her mouth and laughed, "Chong Ba, is it so difficult for you to admit that Mr. Su is great?"
