Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 235 How dare His Highness King Yan do this?

After reminiscing about the old days, Zhu Di sensed something was wrong, and said: "Brother came from a long distance, and the journey was tiring. Let's take a rest in the room at the pier first, and then go to Beiping Fucheng after eating!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Biao didn't refuse either.

Because of this meeting, he really felt a little tired, and the sweat on his forehead could not stop flowing down.

Afterwards, Zhu Di took Zhu Biao to the house that belonged to him.

The house is big and spacious.

On the top, there are two large and heavy chairs, even if Zhu Biao sits on them, they can turn left and right, which makes Zhu Biao very satisfied.

On the left and right sides, there is a row of tables and chairs.

Behind the tables and chairs, there are some bright and green exotic flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants were brought by those merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty.

The rest is nothing.

The whole room is simple and elegant.

Following Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and others took their seats.

Fu Yiquan had already brought a group of maidservants along, serving herbal tea and pots of cold ice.

Guo An was taken aback. Where did the maid come from at the pier?
Above, Zhu Di greeted Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen, and then started chatting with Zhu Biao again.

With outsiders like Guo An, Tang Yun, and Cao Zhen around, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao didn't talk too deeply.

It's all about what you saw and heard all the way around Zhu Biao, or what happened to Zhangjiawan Wharf, or what happened to the other brothers...

at the same time.

outside.

A group of Yanshan guards have completely sealed off the pier, only allowed to enter but not to exit.

When His Royal Highness King Yan leaves, they can leave.

In this regard, some merchants who recognized Zhu Biao were obedient and obedient.

As for those who couldn't recognize them, they were all small merchants, but they all had winks. Those big merchants behaved obediently, no matter how anxious they were, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Moreover, at most it would be a delay of one or two hours.

Among the shops in Zhangjiawan Wharf, at least half of them are food shops.Moreover, there are a lot of ingredients in reserve.

Therefore, less than half an hour.

Zhu Di had already taken Zhu Biao and started eating.

Another half an hour later.

Zhu Di took Zhu Biao, got into the carriage, and headed for Yan Wang's mansion.

But at this time, the merchants and gentry who were finally able to come out of the Zhangjiawan Wharf sent people around like crazy to pass the news.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unexpectedly came to Beiping Mansion, and only the King of Yan greeted him.

Didn't any of the officials from the Beiping government's chief minister, the capital commander's department, the inspector's department, Jin Yiwei, and the Beiping government's yamen come to greet him?
Must not know.

And this news is their bargaining chip to curry favor with those officials.

After the chief officials of the yamen, such as the chief envoy, the commanding envoy, and the procuratorate, received the news, Zhu Di brought Zhu Biao and others, and they had almost entered Wanping County.

Nie Zishi, Zhou Xing and other officials could only take their respective yamen officials and rushed to the gate of Shuncheng to greet them.

"Nie Zishi, the minister of Beiping!"

"The commander of the humble minister Beiping is Zhou Xing!"

"My minister, Beiping, is the envoy Lu Xiang!"

"...with all the civil and military officials of Beiping Mansion, welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others arrived outside the Shuncheng Gate, they saw a crowd of officials from the Beiping Mansion outside the Shuncheng Gate, some of whom were panting.

"Get up, everyone!"

Zhu Biao had no choice but to get out of the car, greeted Nie Zishi and Zhou Xing, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Zhu Di then said: "The prince has been exhausted all the way, so he needs to rest for a while, everyone will come to see you tomorrow afternoon!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiang, Nie Zishi and others couldn't help but look at Zhu Di with resentment.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally come to Beiping Mansion, and you King Yan will not tell you unless you inform him in advance.

And now, they have already met His Highness the Crown Prince at the gate of the city, and before they even said a word, you, King Yan, want to drive them away again?

How do they show their achievements in front of the prince?
Beiping Mansion has been governed so prosperously, although more than half of the credit can be attributed to Yan Wang Mansion.

However, in front of the prince, these achievements can also be counted on the heads of officials like them.

After finally being able to show his face in front of the future prince, and show his achievements in a fair and honest manner, naturally no one is willing to listen to Zhu Di's words.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao smiled slowly.

"Everyone, we are here to inspect Beiping Mansion this time, and we need to stay for a few days, so there is no need for you to worry."

"I will obey your orders!"

Zhou Xing, Nie Zishi and others hurriedly saluted.

Then, slowly stand on both sides and get out of the way.

Seeing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao got into the carriage and walked into the city.

"Hmph, these officials know how to flatter horses all day long. When they see Big Brother, they wish they could wait by Big Brother's side all day long and let Big Brother give them rewards!"

Zhu Di looked displeased.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, he had seen this kind of thing a lot.

"As local officials, they want to show their achievements in front of me and want to be promoted, which is understandable, as long as they are not greedy and don't exploit the common people!"

Zhu Di said sharply: "Brother, don't worry, which official in Beiping Mansion dares to embezzle and corrupt ordinary people, let us know, he must be beaten to death, sent to the capital, and let father cut them into pieces!"

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and quickly said: "Fourth, there is no need to do this. No matter what serious mistakes those officials committed, they should be punished and punished according to the laws of my Ming Dynasty. You must not use lynching or torture indiscriminately."

Zhu Di nodded seriously, and comforted: "Don't worry, brother, we are not that reckless.

In Beiping Mansion, in order to prevent those officials from embarrassing merchants and unscrupulous corruption, we have also released a special message.

As long as there are merchants who know, any officials who dare to accept bribes and are corrupt, they will report to us, and we will find out after we find out.

We will give him a large reward and keep it a secret for him. "

"This……"

Zhu Biao couldn't help being taken aback.

"Fourth, those merchants are treacherous and cunning, what if they specifically frame those honest officials?"

Zhu Di grinned and said with a sneer: "A mere merchant who dares to frame an official does not need to be punished by us, as long as the matter spreads, he will have no place in Daming.

Even, it would be nice to be able to survive in the hands of those gentry of Ming Dynasty! "

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, "This method is very good. But, why did the officials of Beiping government allow you to offer such a reward?"

Zhu Di said: "They won't allow it, so what can they do? A few months ago, two county magistrates who ate human blood were found out. If it weren't for the protection of the Ming law, I would personally cut them into pieces..."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao sighed slightly, a little helpless.

The little county magistrate has been corrupted, and he can't report it to the prince.

As for officials' greed for ink, although he hated it extremely, there is no good way now.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Biao felt something was wrong, so he concentrated his eyes, opened the curtain of the car, and looked outside.

The roads in the entire Beiping Prefecture are clean and there is no smell at all.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Fourth brother, you actually let the people clean the streets? Such a laborious thing is completely unnecessary!"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, opened the curtain of the car, and took a look.

"Brother, how can I be the kind of person who wastes people's money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded subconsciously.

He understands Zhu Di's temperament, let alone him, even if his father came, he would not do such a thing!
only?

Thinking about it, Zhu Biao's face darkened.

"Then why are the streets so clean? It's even cleaner than the capital!...Could it be that the officials of the Beiping Mansion had already heard of my coming and sent people overnight..."

"Haha, big brother thinks too much!"

Zhu Di laughed outright, and said, "If they had known about your arrival in advance, those officials would have gone to Zhangjiawan Wharf to welcome you long ago.

Brother, don't make random guesses, the streets in Beiping Prefecture have always been so clean and tidy. "

"We were afraid that the streets would be dirty and stinky, which would easily breed a big epidemic, so we specially ordered people to repair all the ditches and ditches in the streets in the city with cement, and built public huts and garbage ponds...

There are also special yamen guards patrolling the streets. If anyone dares to litter randomly, they will be punished... After a long time, the people in the city will get used to it! "

"I see!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, then suddenly said: "Fourth brother, how do we remember that this matter seems to be suggested by Guo Changshi from your palace?"

Zhu Di's face froze.

"Guo Changshi of Yanwang's Mansion has already been famous all over the world, which family in Ming Dynasty doesn't know?"

Zhu Biao asked again: "We visited Beiping this time, but we came here specifically for the good rice.

I heard that Liangdao was also the idea of ​​Guo Changshi, why didn't he come to welcome us? "

Zhu Di replied helplessly, "Brother, Guo Qing is here too!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he quickly recalled, "But that thin, handsome young man just now?"

"It's him!" Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that Guo Changshi to be so young?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao vigilantly, "Brother, he is the pillar of my Prince Yan's mansion, he is also Chi'er's teacher, you can't get his idea!"

"Chi'er's teacher?"

Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Gaochi beside him, and couldn't help chuckling.

"The fourth one is worrying too much. Guo An is a great talent, but according to his personality, the capital is not suitable for him!"

Zhu Di was relieved now, looked at Zhu Biao kindly, and praised him vigorously: "Haha, big brother is as insightful as a torch, Guo Qing loves money and is lazy, and if he is going to the capital, his father will definitely be the first to make him feel better... and those officials who are intriguing all day long will even kill Guo Qing..."

"Okay, okay, we will arrive at the palace in a while, let's have a good rest!"

Zhu Biao said.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "What's wrong with Eldest Brother? Ever since Eldest Brother got off the boat, I felt that something was wrong with Eldest Brother... After entering the palace, I will find the doctor in the mansion for Eldest Brother..."

Zhu Biao said: "There is no need for this, I am just a little tired, just take a rest for a while!"

"I see!"

Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll take my elder brother to have a massage, and then I'll find two healthy women to give my elder brother a massage, so I can guarantee that my elder brother will wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed!"

"Alright!"

Zhu Biao didn't refuse either.

In his east palace, there is also a doctor of massage.

In fact, since the Sui Dynasty, there have been mature doctors of massage and massage in the palace.

At this meeting, massage and massage are even more professional.

For massage, Zhu Biao did not miss much.

When he arrived in Yanwang Palace, Zhu Fu who got the news hurried over and gave Guo An a hard look.

However, before Zhu Fu could greet Zhu Biao, Zhu Di directly took Zhu Biao into a side hall.

Seeing this, Zhu Fu, Guo An and others couldn't help being dumbfounded.

How dare His Highness King Yan do this?
