Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 120 120 My acting skills are not good

Facts have proved that Lao Zhu’s system cannot withstand the test of time.

Moreover, there were surprises that Zhu Yuanzhang himself could not have dreamed of.

Although Lao Zhu was able to enter the fairyland to explore the future of the Ming Dynasty, he was not aware of his own problems at this time.

He still wanted to do things according to his own governing philosophy, especially when he saw a future in which he abolished the prime minister, he was even more convinced that he was right.

There is no shortage of wise emperors throughout the history, and they are no worse than Zhu Yuanzhang, but they all followed the prime minister system.

As an emperor, who is willing to hand over part of his power?

Moreover, as a dirty worker for the emperor, the prime minister has to take care of national affairs from time to time, as well as the emperor's personal affairs.

When you build a palace, he says you waste money and wander around, he says you work hard on the people, and you even sleep with women, but he wants you to cherish your body for the sake of national affairs.

Once you lose your temper, history books will record that the prime minister dared to speak out and remonstrated. The emperor was a person who did not listen to advice, and most of his ministers were on his side, especially the truth.

As an emperor, you still have to bear this tone.

Many people want to cancel the prime minister like Zhu Yuanzhang, but the problem is that if this position is cancelled, everything must be done by oneself.

But whether these people are conquering the world or ascending to the throne in the struggle between princes, in the end they still have to enjoy life.

Who is as miserable as Zhu Yuanzhang? He sleeps late and gets up early, has almost no holidays to speak of, and has to deal with hundreds of documents and hundreds of large and small matters a day on average.

After becoming an emperor, which person worked hard to become an emperor just to exhaust himself?

Zhu Yuanzhang hated it very much when someone submitted a long letter. He couldn't explain the reason for a long time, and kept dropping his book bag, which delayed his time in handling government affairs and wasted official paper and pen and ink.

Ru Taisu, the minister of justice, sent a memorial, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to read it.

While he was dealing with other matters, he asked Zhongshu Lang Wang Min to read it to him.

After manually reading more than 16,000 words, Zhu Yuanzhang could not understand what was being said before he finished reading.

Lao Zhu was so angry that he couldn't explain the reason for a long time.

This person's memorial made him extremely disgusted, so he ordered Ru Taisu to be beaten severely.

Then he was demoted from the fourth-rank minister of the criminal department to the sixth-rank chief of the criminal department, the same rank as Lao Zhu pretended to be an official in front of Wang Buli.

In the middle of the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ru Taisu wine and said that he would drink from a golden cup with you without mercy. Ru Taisu also said the right thing. After hearing this, Lao Zhu was dissatisfied and demoted him to censor.

Not long after, Ru Taisu made another mistake and went to work with twelve colleagues in shackles. In the end, he died from sitting in a row.

Zhu Yuanzhang never felt tired, nor did he think about why previous emperors did not abolish this system.

He thought that after abolishing the prime minister, it would be great to have the power controlled by himself alone. The price to pay would be to do more work and it would be a perfect solution.

Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to work.

Just like an old farmer constantly tending his farmland in the fields, looking forward to a good harvest.

But since ancient times, there has been a proverb about the child selling his father without hurting his heart, but Lao Zhu didn't take it into consideration at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, but the Ming cabinet was more authoritarian than the previous prime ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the people were not allowed to move around, and their children and grandchildren had to die on the designated land. However, refugees in the Ming Dynasty became a common practice, no worse than those in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and even stipulated that businessmen were not allowed to wear silk.

But as the sea opened, businessmen wore gold and silver, and some were officials.

Rich businessmen used money to annex land, and farmers could no longer farm. Many people went to do business, and business groups sprung up all over the place.

As for his policy of starving to death for future generations, before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, many of his descendants were so poor that they couldn't even take names.

Finally, eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, but the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were all powerful enough to compete with the cabinet, and even lead the cabinet and become standing emperors.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a workaholic, naturally did not care about the education of his children, so his sons were all human-like!

"Good one kills three birds with one stone."

Zhu Biao outside quickly calmed down and exclaimed:

"Wang Buli, your method is great!"

"I thought you were quite insightful in solving crimes, but I never thought you were quite insightful in handling some government affairs. I even wanted to choose you as the crown prince's companion."

"Your Highness, I just have some ideas. As for studying, I don't like studying, so I became a small official."

Wang Buli quickly declined, asking Zhu Biao to accompany the prince to study?

When the time comes, the people around me will be indifferent to the natural hypnotic effect. If I take the lead in falling asleep, won't it make the other companions lose their status?

Then he said that rotten wood cannot be carved!

Anyone can be the prince's companion, such a noble position.

Why don’t all the corrupt Confucians criticize me, Wang Buli, every day?

Wang Buli was too lazy to suffer this crime.

Who loves to read Confucian books?

Zhu Biao was also a good person, so he could naturally hear the rejection in Wang Buli's words.

Why didn't he get closer to me, the prince?

Everyone in the world knows that my position is as secure as Mount Tai, and I am the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he is working in the East Palace, and his future prospects are limitless.

What is he afraid of?

Could it be that Wang Buli had seen some of the future scenes of the Ming Dynasty in Wonderland in advance?

Although Zhu Biao had only entered the fairyland once, he was so shocked that he could not speak. He looked at the scene of Wang Buli and the fairy practicing passionately.

As for what Wang Buli was doing in front of that glowing thing, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son had no idea at all.

It's simply unimaginable.

At least when others faced Zhu Biao's solicitation, they would naturally bow to him and wish they could serve the prince at all times.

The prince reads with him.

The future prospects are really not to be boasted.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself established a princeling party for Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao started directly at full level.

The right governor Feng Sheng also served as the right Zhan Shi, and Zhongshu Pingzhang's political affairs Hu Mei, Liao Yongzhong, and Li Boxheng also served as Zhan Shiyuan.

Zhongshu left and right prime ministers Zhao Yong and Wang Pu also served as deputy ministers of Zhan, Zhongshu participated in politics, Yang Xian also served as prime minister of Zhan, and Fu Chen also served as deputy minister of Zhan.

The governors Kang Maocai and Zhang Xingzu were both aware of the affairs of the government, and the deputy envoys of the governor's office, Gu Shi and Sun Xingzu, were both aware of the affairs of the government.

Wu Zhen and Geng Bingwen, ministers of the governor's office, also led the deputy envoys of the government on the left and right. Deng Yu and Tang He, the imperial censors, also served as governors. The prince's guests.

No matter dead or alive, these people are all capable.

Similarly, Zhu Yuanzhang also assigned a team to the second and third sons, but their father, who was almost their marriage partner, could not compare with Zhu Biao.

As for the fourth son's father-in-law, Wei Guogong Xu Da, this man is currently being used by Lao Zhu.

It would be useless for Zhu Di to form his own team through marriage.

If you, Wang Buli, are an old member of the East Palace, then you can be regarded as a minister of Conglong. How can you not be reused by us in the future?

"Wang Buli, are you afraid of me?"

"It's not normal to be afraid." Wang Buli admitted very happily:

"As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. What's more, the empty seal case and the counterfeit banknote case were both arrested by the prince."

Zhu Biao tentatively believes Wang Buli's words. This son's behavior is indeed cautious and has Liu Bowen's plan.

The cases he handled were indeed quite big.

Although it was his father who ordered the murder, Wang Buli was right to blame him.

If nothing else happens, there will be a lot of killings in Nanjing tomorrow.

Zhu Biao sat back on the chair, looked at Wang Buli and said with a smile:

"Is it possible that you just want to be a clerk all your life?"

"I don't want to." Wang Buli raised his chest again and said:

"But now the water in the court is too deep. People who are not from Huaixi are being harassed everywhere. I, a local young man, can't handle it. My whole family can't help but be scared. It's better for me to be a minor official."

"Then you go back."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and did not want to talk about party disputes.

This is a topic that cannot be touched.

He knew his father was playing a big game of chess.

It can be said that the current power of this group can be regarded as the fuel of his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

After discovering that there were signs of being uncontrollable, he repeatedly tried to support the Zhejiang East Group, but each failed, so Zhu Yuanzhang began to vigorously promote Hu Weiyong.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wang Buli saluted again and then left.

When the person turned around and left, Zhu Biao looked at Wang Buli's back and said secretly:

"He really saw something."

Zhu Yuanzhang also came out from behind the screen, stroking his beard and said softly:

"Biao'er, he has a problem."

"At first glance, he just wanted to avoid trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more convinced of his son's thoughts. He stood in front of the window:

"We will know after we verify it tomorrow."

Hu Weiyong sent Wu Wei to ask Wang Buli to go to the mansion, but he could not hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see what Wang Buli said and his attitude towards Hu Weiyong.

"But the method Wang Buli just mentioned is good. Send someone to do it immediately."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also impatient. Since there was a loophole, he had to send someone to plug it immediately.

Otherwise, the thorn would prick him and cause him discomfort. It was like a pile of work in front of him. Lao Zhu felt uncomfortable if he didn't finish the work.

Wang Buli slowly came down from the second floor, which made Lu Wei, who was sweating profusely, feel his heart pounding.

What is the identity of this man?

Why did the senior official upstairs also summon him?

Lu Wei couldn't understand, but when he thought of what he said to himself, he couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly ran to the side to find his superior, ready to confess.

Wang Guanzhong and others saw Wang Buli coming out safe and sound, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?" Song Dianshi asked with concern, "I almost sent someone to invite the magistrate of Wuxian County."

"It's okay, I just want to understand some of the situation. After all, I seem to be sitting there looking for trouble to help everyone vent their anger."

After listening to Wang Buli's words, the village chief and others praised Wang Buli repeatedly for standing up for his neighbors.

I just found out from outside that the two bank clerks turned a blind eye when they were given extra money.

Anyway, the money they exchanged was the court's money, so it was over.

Wang Guanzhong knew the truth, so he kept silent about it and asked everyone to go home together to avoid being crowded here.

After changing the new banknotes, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Wang Buli was thinking about his words and deeds.

Some subconscious words and deeds cannot deceive others.

Could it be that I acted very calmly in front of the prince and didn't act like he was shaking and I bowed my head before bowing?

So he thinks I'm abnormal?

At the same time, it also made him feel that I didn't want to be a princeling?

No.

My need for my fourth child can't be so strong, I have to put on a show next time.

For the most stable prince in the Ming Dynasty, my performance was too bland, and it was difficult not to make him suspicious.

No matter what, I will be able to perform the role of "Being in Cao's camp and being in Han's heart" in the future.

Wang Buli thinks that his acting skills still need to be improved, and he has to give Zhu Biao a try.

While he was thinking, a neighbor of the good guy said:

"There's a lot of fun ahead."

Ulala, a large group of people quickly gathered around.

"Master Xiucai, come and take a look. What is he writing here? I can't read."

The neighbors were shouting loudly.

Another said: "That little girl has a straw mark on her head and her father is here. She must have sold her body to bury her mother or something tragic like that."

When Wang Buli and the two brothers got out of the way, they looked inside.

"I am Zeng Bingzheng, the former treasure banknote lifter. The capital is big and difficult to live in. My daily life is difficult. Although treasure banknotes pass through my hands every day, I dare not embezzle a treasure banknote.

Now that I have been dismissed from office and cannot return to my hometown, I can only temporarily sell my daughter to raise funds for my rebellion. This is a helpless move. When I return to my hometown and raise money, I will definitely redeem my daughter. "

After listening to Wang Guanzhong's recitation, everyone was astonished.

This is an official.

He was so depressed that he sold his daughter to raise travel expenses!

"Master Xiu Cai, what rank of official is this promoted to?"

Wang Guanzhong looked at his brother, he didn't know.

"Fourth grade."

Wang Buli replied.

The eldest brother didn't know much about this department. It was newly established by Lao Zhu for the purpose of issuing treasure banknotes.

"My dear, a fourth-rank official doesn't have money to go back to his hometown, right?"

"The Beijing officials are usually so majestic. Is it possible that they also live the same hard life as us?"

"Who dares to commit corruption?"

"His Majesty said that as long as he embezzles sixty taels, he will peel off the skin of day lilies. I saw that official skin at the gate of Jiangning County. It was so wrinkled and scary."

"This gentleman is really honest."

"Yeah yeah."

The people around them were talking about it. In their simple understanding, if they just swiped a handful of treasure notes, wouldn't they have enough money to return home?

You need to go so far as to sell your own daughter!

Wang Buli felt that something was wrong.

This person should have been dismissed because of the treasure incident.

But according to usual practice, many official positions in the DPRK are controlled by Huaixi people.

Moreover, the salary of a fourth-grade official is not low, so he shouldn't have no money to spend.

The most important thing is that there are so many fellow villagers, big and small, why don't they help him?

Even if I beg Hu Weiyong, wouldn't he care?

Wang Buli guessed that this was a political show, deliberately to make the matter of selling his daughter uproar.

Zeng Bingzheng was not dismissed from office and returned to his hometown because of corruption.

Or he was unwilling to return home in such a dejected manner, and wanted to use public opinion to roast Zhu Yuanzhang on the fire and give him an official position.

Wang Buli observed Zeng Bingzheng's acting skills, and the tragic look could not be achieved without polishing it several times.

It has to be these old actors who were high-ranking officials in the Hongwu Dynasty.

The emotion is so abundant that it comes as it comes.

"How pitiful. He is a good official."

The sound is endless.

What do ordinary people know about political showmanship?

I am willing to listen to people's side of the story, especially a former high-ranking official who is so destitute that he wants to sell his daughter to raise travel expenses.

Moreover, he is also a high-ranking official in charge of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. No one will know if he can withhold some treasure banknotes at will.

Now that he is so poor, doesn't he deserve our sympathy?

Although there were many cunning people, many people still had good intentions and praised Zeng Bingzheng as a good official.

Honest official.

I hope I can sell my daughter to a wealthy family. Poor people like them can't afford to raise a "loser".

Even if he wants to buy her as a child bride, she is only four years old and is too young to die young. Not to mention that if he wants to go back when he becomes an official in the future, wouldn't it mean that he will lose both his life and wealth?

Wang Buli felt that no one would dare to buy Zeng Bingzheng's daughter easily.

"Brother, let's ask the neighbors to leave. This is not something we can get involved in."

"Ok?"

Wang Buli whispered: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. You can't just believe one side of the story."

"you're right."

Wang Guanzhong also believed that it was impossible for a dignified fourth-grade official to be without money. He shouted to the people around him:

"Neighbors, let's go home quickly. Don't forget to carry things with you. We are crowded here. If someone touches your purse without knowing it, today's suffering will be in vain."

"That's right, that's right. Since we don't have money to buy it, we shouldn't crowd around here. Make room for those who want to buy it. We can't delay Grandpa Zeng's return home."

After being reminded by Wang Buli and his brother, and urged by the head of the village, everyone quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Nowadays, everyone has money on their person. If someone takes it away, where can they go to reason?

Even if the thief is caught and he spends the money, he can only throw him into a prison and lock him up. You can't get your money back.

A large group of spectators walked around in a noisy manner, talking about what a good official Zeng Bingzheng was.

The new treasure banknotes we hold in our hands may have been supervised by him.

Wang Buli felt that Zeng Bingzheng had seized this opportunity well. The policy had just come out yesterday, and today he started selling his own daughter not far from the bank.

If this wasn't the purpose of giving Lao Zhu eye drops, what was it?

According to Wang Buli's understanding of Lao Zhu, it is absolutely impossible for such a person to achieve his wish.

He didn't care at all if he wanted to use moral public opinion to kidnap Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang punched his ministers hard. It is already a great gift for me to pay you a salary and let you take care of things.

If you don't work hard for us one by one, then you won't be able to live a good life.

Wang Buli didn’t know who gave Zeng Bingzheng the “good idea”.

Or should he refer to Yang Man, the mastermind of the counterfeit banknote case, who sold his own son to treat his old mother's illness, and he also wanted to pull off such a drama.

Lao Zhu didn't even show any intention of lenient treatment to Yang Man. Did Zeng Bingzheng think he could do it?

The high-ranking officials of the Hongwu Dynasty landed safely and successfully returned to their hometowns to live out their old lives, which was considered the best ending.

Wang Buli felt that Zeng Bing wanted to be an official because he was unwilling to return to his hometown, so he was looking for his own death.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

No matter what, Wang Buli, who was walking on the road, just wanted to watch the excitement and hone his acting skills.

How Lao Zhu dealt with this person was quite novel.

After all, this political show is a bit abstract, comparable to Chongzhen raising money while his father-in-law sells furniture on the street!

The only difference is that Lao Zhu is not easy to cheat.
