Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 426 Zhu Yan Was Praised

The master secretary of Yangzhou followed behind, looking at Yang Shen with some embarrassment, the government's public money is limited, and it is only enough for daily expenses.

Invite a chef from Yangzhou, the money may not be enough.

Yang Shen saw that the master was in trouble, and took out a few banknotes from his bosom: "You take it first, I will ask my wife for some when I go home, so I can't embarrass my lord."

The two, one in front and one behind, went to the government office.

Beijing.

Regarding the matter of the National Academy of Scholars, Zhu Biao handed it over to Zhu Di and Zhu Xi, who were there to supervise the progress, and he summoned Fang Youzhi.

Fang Youzhi has been in the Eastern Palace for the past few days. He has been in contact with Zhu Yunchi and Empress Ma. Since he became a doctor, he has devoted himself to studying medical skills, thinking about improving his medical skills and writing a medical book.

But now that smallpox has happened, he has no time to take care of medical books.

The two were separated by more than ten meters, and Zhu Biao asked him: "Academician Fang, how are the queen mother and Yun Chi these few days? Has it improved?"

Fang Youzhi nodded, but he didn't dare to say that he was sure: "Your Highness, I have already used a lot of medicine to reduce the fever and relieve the itching. I just have to wait a few days to see. If I keep it up, it will be no big deal in a few days." hinder."

In the past few days, Fang Youzhi had to talk to the doctors to prevent the empress from being infected, and he had to keep looking through the previous dynasty's medicine books, so he was under a lot of pressure.

"The empress is well, but the empress is holding the emperor's grandson all day long, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take it anymore." Fang Youzhi replied truthfully.

Zhu Biao frowned and said, "Persuade my mother for Gu."

"Fang Youzhi should do his best."

In the past few days, Dai Sizong arranged for other people from the imperial hospital to treat the maid who had a slight infection as soon as possible.

"Who told you to come here? Go back." Emperor Zhu roared, "Biaoer, did you ignore our words?"

Old Zhu glared at him, stood in the distance and asked, and then walked to Zhu Biao's side: "It's all right, let's go."

On the land beside the palace wall, Emperor Hongwu was digging the ground with a hoe, and every time the hoe went down, the ground was dug out of a deep hole.

Zhu Biao followed behind, putting cabbage seeds in the field.

All the guards didn't understand what the prince and His Majesty were doing now.Thinking about hoeing together over there.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongwu scolded: "Bold, whoever let you in, trampled our land, get out!"

The guards were startled when they heard the words, they thought that they had flattered the horse's hoof, they immediately got out of the ground, dressed neatly, and stood around the field, not daring to take a step into the imperial field.

Emperor Zhu worked so hard to plow the field because he vented his worries these days in this way.

Zhu Biao was also anxious and his throat was angry, but he never showed it when discussing matters with civil servants and generals.

The father and son were sweating in the field. In June and July, when it was hot, the servant brought tea several times.

"Hu Weiyong, a political adviser, is very active these days. We have received his memorials several times. He said he does not approve of flintlock guns."

Zhu Biao said with a frown, "What does the flintlock matter have to do with him? He has ulterior motives."

Emperor Zhu nodded and said: "You feel right about this matter, then it's fine. We really hope to give you this burden now, let's go and have fun."

Give me the burden?It's a bit too early for this matter, it's only been six years since Hongwu, old Zhu, you think so beautifully.

Emperor Zhu pondered: "Oh, we still don't trust you. Look at Chi'er, and look at Hu Weiyong and Tu Jie who have written letters in the past few days. Let us go to Happy, we don't trust you."

"Father, the flintlock gun is good. My son told you about it a long time ago, and you know about it."

"Of course we know, but we can't ignore the words of civil and military officials. How to make them obey your ideas is up to you."

It's as if you didn't say it, Lao Zhu, you are too unjust, is this a training?
……

……

Half a month later, a large cauldron was placed at the entrance of Changle Hall, and all the clothes and bedding were burned clean, and nothing related to smallpox was left behind.

Zhu Biao ordered someone to bring lime for simple disinfection and sterilization.

The first thing, Zhu Biao took the princess and Zhu Yunchi together to kowtow to Empress Ma in person.

Once smallpox is broken, the scars left on the face are very difficult to remove, it is almost like disfigurement.

But Zhu Yunchi's face was as smooth as before, and Empress Ma lost a lot of weight.

Zhu Bing returned to the capital from Yangzhou with his troops, and found out that the salt merchants had secretly sold the salt to the Three Kingdoms of Ryukyu and Huguang.

Selling without permission is a capital crime, so Zhu Yan directly brought back the head of the salt merchant, along with some secret letters.

Emperor Zhu praised Zhu Bian in the Fengtian Hall, and the officials immediately flattered him, saying that Zhu Bian was indeed the emperor's son, and he was really outstanding.

Zhu Biao was also very happy, feeling that his younger brothers had grown up, and he could let them share a lot of things.

When the court was over, Zhu Yan looked at his eldest brother in black dragon robe and said aggrievedly, "Brother, I killed him because that salt merchant resisted."

"His home should have been raided. Have you checked his home? Is it only the 11 taels of silver?"

According to Zhu Biao's understanding, it is impossible for the salt merchant to have such a small family property in the past few years.But seeing Zhu Yan's tired face.

He didn't want to ask too much, his younger brother had always been obedient to him, so why would he have so many bad thoughts.

He told him to go back and rest early.

……

Daming Museum.

Zhu Bian, who just left the early court, did not go back to the Jinwang Palace, but went directly to the Daming Museum. This time he brought back a lot of treasures.

There are inkstones from the Tang Dynasty, four plum blossom paintings by famous artists in the Song Dynasty, and Li Bai's own handwriting, all of which belonged to the salt merchant.

The staff looked at Zhu Yan: "My lord, the magistrate of Yangzhou asked about the salt merchant the day before yesterday, but the maidservant only told him that the salt merchant resisted and assassinated the people, and was executed by you, my lord."

Holding the vase, Zhu Yan looked at it carefully: "That salt merchant sold salt privately, the matter of Liuqiu and Huguang is true. Brother and father will not blame this king."

The staff nodded, but the prince hid and swallowed the salt merchant's treasure privately, fearing that there would be problems in the future.

"Brother doesn't seem to believe me? Normally, in the eyes of my father, my brother is the best. But this time, the king has also found out the case of the salt merchant. Today is the first time that my father praised me in Fengtian Palace."

The East Palace and the Little Yellow Gate retreated outside the palace and waited.

Holding a girl doll carved in powder and jade in his arms, Zhu Biao looked at Lu Zhong and said, "The matter of the Yangzhou salt merchants has come to an end, but Huguang's negligent management in the past two years has led to the repression of local officials and the encroachment of the people's land. You still have to deal with this matter." Go to Huguang to check again, and then come back and tell Gu."

Lu Zhong nodded, thinking of the newly added Jinyiwei list this year, he handed it to Zhu Biao with both hands: "His Royal Highness, the newly added list for this matter totals 560 eight people."

"Very good, you go down." Zhu Biao looked at Lu Zhong.

"Your Highness, I have one more thing to do."

"speak."

"In Jinyiwei, the subordinates noticed that there were a few people who were eating inside and out, so please inform His Highness about this." Lu Zhong replied truthfully.

"Well, Gu knows it well. This is the century-old ginseng that King Jin brought back from Yangzhou. Gu rewarded you with it. Thank you for your hard work."

"Your Highness, this subordinate should." Lu Zhong was startled.

In their line of business, they act all day, night and day. The prince is considerate of himself, and he is very kind to himself.

"This ginseng is very precious, I will give it to you, and you can dispose of it as you like." After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he waved to him, signaling him to back down.

Zhu Biao took the list and put it directly into the secret compartment.

The box made by the descendants of the Mo family really deserves its reputation, it is even more powerful than a safe.Zhu Biao looked at his girl with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, Attendant Zhou Dian is here." The little yellow gate outside the door announced.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhou Qingru: "Servant Zhou Dian, you came from Kunning Palace?"

"Yes, the empress asked me to take the little princess there..."

"Okay, you take her there." Zhu Biao nodded with a smile, and asked the wet nurse to follow Zhou Qingru to Kunning Palace.

When the people walked away, Zhu Biao said to Xiao Huangmen beside him: "Yuanbao, order the servant of the household department to come to see Gu early tomorrow morning."

　Ask for a ticket.
