Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

Chapter 17 suggests that Li Shanchang should sink into the river (seek to read more!)
Ji Boying took another look at Empress Ma.

I can't help but feel a little respect for this empress who is famous in history books.

From the look in Empress Ma's dodging old Zhu's eyes just now, Ji Boying could see that Empress Ma should have known what disease he had a long time ago.

But in fact, if the Tai Hospital did its best, it would not be a big problem for the Empress Baoma to live an extra three to five years. After all, although tuberculosis was a terminal disease in the Ming Dynasty, it could still be achieved by prolonging her life for a few years.

However, in order to save the lives of those imperial physicians, the Empress Ma insisted on never agreeing to allow the imperial hospital to see her from the time of her illness to her serious illness to her death.

As the mother of a country, she was able to do this to save the life of a courtier she had never met before. Just because of this alone, she would live up to her reputation as a virtuous empress through the ages left in the annals of history.

"Well, maybe it can't be completely cured, but it can save your life."

Ji Boying nodded.

He is also telling the truth, he is not a medical student, and it is not easy to prescribe this anti-tuberculosis drug to the right patient. As for the side effects of taking this anti-tuberculosis drug, he can only be treated by the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital.

Seeing Ji Boying's affirmative nod, Lao Zhu's eyes were red, he put the cigar in his hand on the table, and stood up respectfully.

As the son of heaven, he actually bowed to Ji Boying.

"Brother's kindness, Zhu Yuanzhang can't repay him. In the future, whatever he needs, the whole Ming Dynasty will use it for him."

It's rare for a black-bellied old Zhu to have true love.

In other matters, this murderous black-bellied emperor may be out of profit and courteous to Ji Boying, but when it comes to Empress Ma, there is absolutely no falsehood.

According to historical records, in August of the 15th year of Hongwu, Empress Ma left a sentence, "May your majesty seek the virtuous and accept advice, and be as cautious as the beginning, and all descendants will be virtuous, and the subjects will get what they have".

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di also looked serious, and bowed to Ji Boying to salute.

"This is only for seven days, come back and ask me to take it after seven days."

"In addition, this disease requires rest and recuperation. Don't stay up late and work hard. The empress can go back to the palace to rest first."

Ji Boying looked away, picked up the cigar and took a puff, and sipped the tea after puffing out the mist.

"exactly."

Lao Zhu slapped his thigh.

"Biao'er, quickly send your mother back to the palace."

A Biao was taken aback, although he didn't say anything, but the reluctance in his eyes, Empress Ma had a panoramic view, she knew that Ji Boying and Lao Zhu were going to talk about state affairs next, and Zhu Biao didn't want to miss it, so she couldn't help smiling.

"Okay, heavy eight."

"I'm not a three-year-old child. I have to send you a bid when I go back to the palace. I'll go back by myself."

Speaking of which, Empress Ma got up, first looked at Ji Boying with a smile, then turned and left, just a few steps away.

"Empress, from today onwards, there is no need to shy away from the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital."

With Ji Boying's words, Empress Ma paused, smiled, and continued to walk outside the house.

As for Lao Zhu, at this moment, he realized everything in an instant. When he recalled these times, no matter how much he tried to persuade his sister to summon the imperial physician, she would never refuse.

"Oh, we are the ones who killed the girl."

Lao Zhu was slightly melancholy, picked up the cigar, and took a deep puff.

"Chongba, looking for me late at night, I have something to say."

Ji Boying glanced at the Qinhuai River outside the screen, misty and rainy, the river scene reflected the wine and red lights, and the willows that just sprouted by the river moved around with the wind, which was quite artistic.

Responding to that sentence: Misty rain on the sixteenth floor of Qinhuai, Jiangling willows are all romantic.

After exhaling the cigarette, Lao Zhu was silent for a moment.

"Brother, we already have two solutions regarding the knighthood system."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao beside him.

"Biaoer, please explain these two methods."

Zhu Biao nodded, and little Zhu Si, who was standing by the window smoking a cigar, had doubts in his eyes. When discussing the knighthood system plan, he was on his way to send Ji Boying to Zuixianlou.

way?When did the method come out?I don't know anything?
"Master Immortal, there are currently two strategies."

"The first one is to reduce the salaries of titles at all levels, so as to reduce the total expenditure of the clan's children. For example, reduce the salary of the eighth-level Feng Guozhong Lieutenant from 150 shi to [-] shi, or even [-] shi."

Ji Boying frowned.

"Who mentioned this?"

Lao Zhu didn't hide it either.

"Korean Duke Lee Sun-chang."

Hearing the name, Ji Boying smiled.

"Chongba, if I were you, I would sink this South Korean man to the bottom of the Qinhuai River tomorrow. He occupies a high position, holds power in his hand, and eats a vegetarian meal in his dead body. He is the moth of the country."

Before the founding of the country, Li Shanchang was praised by Lao Zhu as Xiao He's name, but after the founding of the country, this old boy seemed to be a different person. He looked generous on the outside, but he was jealous and harsh to others, especially for Liu Bowen.

A simple reduction of the entitlement salary is not even a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause. It does not seem like a well-thought-out answer from a famous official who founded the country.

Old Zhu's expression suddenly became serious, he was clearly considering Ji Boying's opinion seriously.

At this time, in the South Korean government, Li Shanchang, who was having a short period with his newly married concubine, suddenly felt cold on his back, his body shivered violently, and he was defeated.

"The second strategy is to reduce the rank of nobility. For example, Lieutenant Fengguo will be cut off from the eighth rank of clan titles, and Lieutenant Fuguo will be the last noble. At the same time, it is stipulated that from Lieutenant Fuguo onwards, descendants will no longer have titles, and they will all belong to the idle clan."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Di, who was smoking a cigar next to him, twitched his eyes. He subconsciously glanced at Lao Zhu, wanting to see if Lao Zhu was angry because of this second plan.

If this second strategy is implemented, it is tantamount to removing hereditary replacements from the clan system of nobility. In order to carry out this hereditary replacement system, Lao Zhu killed many people.

"good."

Ji Boying commented.

"The person who proposes this strategy can be the governor."

"Where is this person?"

Old Zhu, who was smoking a cigar, suddenly coughed.

"That, that..."

"Master Huixian, this second strategy was proposed by Song Lian, and he has already been imprisoned by his father."

Zhu Biao spoke repeatedly, obviously wanting to use Ji Boying's influence to rescue Song Lian from prison.

"We didn't intend to kill him."

Lao Zhu added a sentence incidentally.

"But brother, Song Lian is a typical hypocrite, he has bad conduct. He even publicly asked us to increase the salary of all officials. Brother, tell me, how low are the salaries of these dog officials?!"

"Let's feed them, clothe them, and give them the authority to govern one side. Don't we treat them well enough?!"

"Open their dog eyes and look at the world. Compared with those working in the fields, their salaries are much higher. A bunch of wolf cubs who can't get enough to feed. Sooner or later we have to cut all these white-eyed wolves!"

Old Zhu talked more and more vigorously.

Looking at Lao Zhu who was so excited when he mentioned raising the salary of employees, Ji Boying finally understood why the "Guo Huan case" occurred during the Hongwu period.

Here the horses are required to run, but the horses are not given grass on the other side. At the same time, a 50-meter-long butcher's knife is hung above the horse's head. This is simply too difficult for the official to do.
