Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 334
The founding emperor didn't have two brushes, so how could those Huaixi heroes be convinced. Although Lao Zhu has not been fighting in recent years, his boxing skills are not unfamiliar.

Lao Zhu's sitting posture looked the same as usual, but his eyes were full of murderous intent, his hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the chair, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and he looked at the traitor as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Where did we treat you badly? Ask yourself how well you treat the people. Who forced you? If you really did it, we can deal with it lightly."

"Hey, you dog emperor, I couldn't take you to hell with me today. I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Wen family. I didn't know what I could do. If I wanted to kill him, I would kill him."

Old Zhu has a good memory. Since the founding of the country, he has copied a man whose surname is Wen. The son of the Wen family fled abroad later. It seems that this is it.

"Go on and find out why the criminal's son is in Fengyang." Old Zhu pointed to Wen Shujiang.

At this moment, Lan Yu drove the whole family in from outside, berated them to kneel down and said, "This man is Wen Shujiang's distant cousin in Fengyang, and he has been hiding his name at his cousin's house for the past few years. Originally going to Nanjing, when His Majesty arrived in Fengyang, he became murderous."

Knowing the cause and effect, Lao Zhu will never let the Wen family go, cutting the weeds does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Wen Shujiang's cousin's family knew that Wen Shujiang was a criminal arrested by the imperial court, so they secretly hid the criminal, barbarianized his family, and beheaded him.Wen Shujiang was punished by scraping.

This problem occurred in the ancestor worship, and the itinerary was cut in half immediately. Li Shanchang reprimanded the prefect of Fengyang, and cooperated with Zhu Xi to arrange the route back to Nanjing.

Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu said that they would fulfill their duties and escort them back to Nanjing.

At this time in Nanjing, Zhu Biao had just finished presiding over the early court, and before returning to the imperial study, Zhou Guanzheng came to impeach the Academy of Scholars.

To say that the agricultural officials of the National Academy of Scholars led a group of academicians in the mud field is really insulting and indecent, and they didn't even go to court in the early morning, under the banner of serving the court.Play tricks and tricks there.

Zhu Biao put down the memorabilia in his hand, raised his eyelids to look at Zhou Guanzheng, and said, "Is Zhou Yushi not busy, I happen to have something for you."

Zhou Guanzheng was an idiot, seeing that Zhu Biao didn't answer his question, he still hung his neck and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, please punish He Qing, now he holds an important position in the court..."

"Enough, Zhou Guanzheng."

The prince was suddenly angry, got up and said: "Come here, bring He Qing and the others, and let Zhou Yushi properly impeach him."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Zhou Guanzheng was dissatisfied, he was a majestic censor, even the emperor had to be polite to him, why did His Highness always do things unexpectedly.

"Why haven't I seen Zhou Qing recently? Call him over too. You have to ask him carefully, how can a farm official raise seedlings in the ground, how can he be disrespectful?"

Then Zhou Qing also came. After seeing Zhou Guanzheng, he nodded slightly and stood in front of Zhu Biao.

"Zhou Qing, as a censor, come here and tell Gu, what is gentleness? Can gentleness grow food? Can gentleness feed the people? Your gentleness surpasses the people of Ming Dynasty, isn't it so?"

Zhou Qing knew that the prince was in a fit of anger at the moment, so he avoided talking about it, and just pretended to be stupid and talked about him.

"Zhou Yushi, do you know what those farm officials are doing? This mud made a mess of the court clothes, and they even wore it to the court in a grand manner, but I stopped them." Zhou Guanzheng said to Zhou Qing.

Then those agricultural officials were brought into the imperial study by Sanbao. Zhu Biao glanced at Zhou Guanzheng, and said directly to He Qing: "Zhou Yushi impeached you. He was doing experiments in the field with bare legs in winter. He impeached you. Said that you have made your robes full of mud."

"Reporting to the crown prince, the minister and the group of agricultural officials picked some seeds last night, intending to test their resistance to cold and their germination rate, so that we can record them.

Unexpectedly, the court was delayed, so he came in a dirty robe in a hurry, but was impeached by the censor. The minister made a mistake first, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince please punish him.

But as an agricultural official, if you hold books all day long, you will never be able to grow food, or research pesticides and fertilizers.

Only by going down to the fields and planting seeds for observation in person can we produce better food seeds for the people of Ming Dynasty. If this is also an insult to the gentlemen, then I will not accept the punishment. I do things in my duty and I don’t think there is anything wrong. "

"I don't think there is anything wrong." The agricultural officials and academicians behind him knelt in the imperial study room and said in unison.

Then Zhu Biao asked Sanbao to fetch famous paper, ink and inkstone, and wrote four big characters on the paper: "National Scholars Style."

"You are willing to suffer these hardships for the sake of the common people. If you are alone and punish you for this, then you are alone and wrong. If you can put down your fame, fortune and official position, and go to the fields in the cold winter, if the court punishes you, you will be alone." wrong."

Later, in front of Zhou Guanzheng, Zhu Biao not only did not punish the peasant officials, but instead gave them silver coins to reward them.

Seeing this, Zhou Guanzheng left angrily, and only vented his anger on Zhou Qing.

When Zhou Qing was about to leave, Zhu Biao stopped him and signaled that he had something important to do for him.

As the end of the year approaches, the accounts of the Ming Dynasty Commercial Bureau, the Ministry of Households, the Weaving Bureau, the Salt Bureau, and other places need to be checked.

For this purpose, Zhu Biao set up a temporary Daming inspection team to verify and review Hongwu's four-year expenditure and income.

And asked Lu Zhong, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, to secretly organize personnel to notify the Huangmingwei Pavilion, and quietly investigate the criminal evidence and mistakes of officials from various places in the second half of the year.

"It's the end of the year. It's time to clean up the big house of our imperial court, get rid of those useless pests and rats, and let the sun shine brightly to welcome the fifth year of Hongwu."

The Daming inspection team quickly selected officials in charge of integrity from the court, and they temporarily worked with Zhan Shifu.

Account books are piled high in the Wenhua Palace.

The hall was brightly lit, and Zhu Biao told them to be careful of the candles, and to sit in front of them to watch a group of officials from the household department check their accounts.

Even Lu Chang, who was in charge of the accounts for the National Academy of Scholars, came to help and checked the accounts of the Armament Bureau.

Seeing Xia Yuanji lower his head to settle the accounts, Zhu Biao told him: "If you don't understand the accounts of the Firearms Camp, you will be punished."

Unexpectedly, Xia Yuanji raised his head in dissatisfaction: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Yuan Ji guarantees that the calculation will not miss a single cent."

In the middle of the night, Xu Miaowei took seven or eight servants and asked them to put the food box in the Wenhua Hall, and said with a smile: "Your Highness."

Zhu Biao waved his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Princess Xu is in charge of dinner tonight, everyone remember to thank her."

"I have thanked Princess Xu."

When everyone came over, the servants quickly set up two desks, cleaned up the account books and inkstones, and sat in two rows.

The food was three vegetarian and one meat, plus soup, everyone ate it, and it was nourishing. Xia Yuanji ate egg custard, and Zhu Biao also ate his share.

Zhu Biao frightened him, saying that if he ate an extra meal, he would have to calculate an extra stack of books.

When Xu Miaowei saw the officials having dinner, she went to help Zhu Biao lift her shoulders and said, "As for the matter of checking the population and land, according to His Highness's instructions, the concubine has already told Sanbao to do it."

Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction, and then asked her another matter. He hadn't been back to the East Palace for the past few days. He heard that there were more master bricklayers in the East Palace, and they kept moving stones and soil.

"The concubine did this for the emperor, and His Highness will know when the time comes. In addition, the concubine gave them clothes and things they needed according to His Highness's instructions, and changed the hall for them."

Zhu Biao knew that Xu Miaowei was referring to Minmin Timur, so he smiled and said: "The lonely princess is really capable."

　Ask for collection.
