Chapter 312

In the evening, Zhu Biao was still reading with Lao Zhu in the imperial study, and Yu Yi trotted in from the outside to report: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is here."

"Is Li Shanchang here?" Old Zhu subconsciously repeated.

"Let Li Shanchang come in."

Li Shanchang didn't wear an official uniform today, but a prisoner's clothes, walked in and knelt down: "The old minister is guilty."

Old Zhu: "Li Shanchang, why are you wearing this suit to see us?"

Zhu Biao: "President Li."

Li Shanchang knelt on the ground: "I'm in charge of building the city of Xiuzhong. Because of this, there was a civil uprising in Fengyang. It's because of the lax supervision of the old minister. I ask your majesty to come down."

"Li Xiang, get up quickly, how can we listen to the bandit leader's one-sided words, your criminal clothes really hurt our eyes." Old Zhu motioned Zhu Biao to invite Li Shanchang to the chair.

"Your Majesty, I think that no matter what, I have something to do with you, so I took off my official robes, and went to the palace to meet you and plead guilty. Your Majesty, please punish me."

"What are you talking about, who lent you this prison uniform, we want to punish him, dare to give the prison uniform to our Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty." Lao Zhu said with a smile.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lao Zhu began to talk about business.

"Da Ming said straightly that they dared to deduct wages after it was built for a long time. There is also Fengyang's disaster relief and prevention. The food is stored in advance, but the people can't get a grain.

We mean everything in the construction, but is what the two bandit leaders said true?If not, we may have misunderstood the minister. "

Li Shanchang: "There are too many people involved in this matter, and it is difficult for me to make a conclusion for a while. It is just that I am the main person responsible for the construction of the Central Capital. This time there is a civil uprising, how can I stay out of it?"

Old Zhu looked at Li Shanchang, with straight eyes, as if he wanted to see Li Shanchang's heart, and see right from wrong.

Li Shanchang lowered his head to report, not knowing that Lao Zhu was staring at him, and only hoped that his prison uniform could protect him.

He knew His Majesty, as long as he admitted his mistake in advance, His Majesty would not be too embarrassed, besides, he didn't know the following things this time.

"Be good, you have been with us for many years, we are willing to punish you, not to mention you are not guilty."

"Then what does His Majesty mean?" Li Shanchang asked curiously.

"Can we rule ministers because of a few words from the rebel leader? How is it possible? We still think they deliberately provoke the relationship between the monarch and his ministers." Old Zhu laughed, swearing.Then Li Shanchang stayed for a meal.

Old Zhu is so listless...Zhu Biao laughed and complained in his heart.

Looking at the cold leftovers on the table, Lao Zhu put down his wine glass: "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, withholding food and salaries, embezzling wages, since the day when the Central Capital was built, I am afraid it has already started, and it has accumulated over time. The people were forced to die."

"Biao'er, in a few days' morning, you will play a play with us, and we will catch them off guard while they are off guard."

What is Lao Zhu doing? Although he doesn't understand what he said suddenly, he still nods.After all, you have to be obedient.

A few days later, morning.

"Dear dear friends, we have found out what the bandit leader said last time, and it is purely fabricated out of thin air.

The construction of the Daming Straight Road, and no one deducted the wages of the laborers, it was all the reason for the mob to rebel and talk nonsense. "

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, Jiang Huanhai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, and I believe that Your Majesty is right."

When Yang Xian heard about this, he glanced at Li Shanchang and the others, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, absolutely not, this matter should be investigated carefully. I think there must be something tricky in it."

"Okay, we got it, that's the end of the Fengyang civil uprising." Lao Zhu's voice was loud, and he emphasized: "We have decided to let the prince and Yang Xian go to the north to inspect the Yellow River, and that's it."

Yang Xian sighed: "I obey the order."

There was no major event today, and the officials were much more relaxed when they came down to court. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said to the other senior officials, "I know why Your Majesty no longer investigates the Fengyang civil uprising."

Jijiu Song Na: "Why? Jiang Shangshu knows the reason?"

"Because His Majesty wants to cover up, who is in charge of the straightforward matter? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiang Huanhai said self-righteously.

A group of officials behind them suddenly realized, stroked their beards and said, "So that's how it is, that's how it is."

Hu Weiyong always likes to listen to the wind and the corner, and when he heard what Jiang Huanhai said, he immediately ran to report to Li Shanchang.

"Weiyong, why do you care so much about the Fengyang civil uprising? Tell me honestly, did you participate?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head, and whispered into Li Shanchang's ear: "Li Xiang, although I, Hu Weiyong, love power and hate Yang Xian, and have stumblingd those in the National Academy of Scholars, I will never embezzle and accept bribes under His Majesty's nose."

"Okay, you're smart." Li Shanchang also felt relieved: "It's not the best, His Majesty even invited me to eat a few days ago. It seems that I didn't think too much about the Fengyang civil change. But we are still conscientious and diligent, Don't make trouble for me."

"Yang Xian went to the north with the prince to inspect, and he has another chance to please His Highness. We also need to recognize the situation. It involves the interests of the prince, so we should not interfere and climb the big tree of the prince.

Listen to me, don't make trouble with the National Academy of Scholars in the future. Your opponent is not the people of the National Academy of Scholars, but Yang Xian, Liu Bowen, and the East Zhejiang Party. Li Shanchang narrowed his eyes: "Li Bin's death."I will not let Liu Manzi go. "

"Yes, what Li Xiang said is true." Hu Weiyong nodded in agreement, then stopped and waited for Chang Yuchun who came from afar.

"Guogong." Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang smiled at Chang Yuchun: "The crown princess is striving for success and gave birth to a little emperor's grandson, but I have never found a chance to congratulate Guogong."

"Li Xiang, there's no need to congratulate, I think my girl also went to the Palace of the King of Hell." Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "Don't mention this, let's go together."

Zhu Biao watched from a distance, and the officials in the next court walked further and further away, as small as ants.

Just now in the court hall, Lao Zhu said that he would let him go north, but in fact he was making a lot of noise. Yang Xian, that melon, is still trying to persuade Lao Zhu to find Fengyang.

In this regard, Zhu Biao has no opinion.Whether it is Yang Xian who wants to make political achievements for promotion or for the common people, as long as he is willing to check.That's a good thing.

Although Yang Xian is small-minded, as long as he controls it well, Yang Xian is a sharp weapon against corrupt officials and officials.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Biao went to the Changle Palace to look at the Chang family, and only said that he would leave Nanjing for a few days, and did not say anything else.

It was the same when we arrived at Yongning Palace, Zhu Biao said the same thing over and over again.Xu Miaowei understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Regarding the court affairs, Zhu Biao told them that as long as he didn't take the initiative to mention it, they couldn't inquire and intervene.

Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to invite Zhu Di back to the palace, sent a letter to Shen Qiancheng, told Mu Ying, and asked them to follow him.

Yang Xian did ask Zhu Biao what they were going to bring for the northern tour, and Zhu Biao only said that it would be clear when the time came.

Mao Xiang and Lu Zhong arranged for the brocade guards under their command to follow orders and prepare to go.

Xu Miaowei wanted to help Zhu Biao pack his clothes, but Zhu Biao only said that someone had prepared them, and he didn't need to bring anything, so he went to bed cheerfully.
