Chapter 137: A Thousand Miles to Be an Official

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, Yun Jin was personally put by his mother's side to exercise, if someone targeted him, it would be a blow to the East Palace.

looked at Yunjin and said, "You don't have to tell me about the harem, but you have to keep an eye on the queen mother and Lu'er, I don't want to hear anything bad."

Yun Jin smiled and nodded: "The emperor and queen are affectionate, and the slaves and maids are happy to watch, naturally no one dares to make trouble in the harem." ”

Zhu Biao also laughed, fortunately, his mother stabilized the harem, so he could devote all his energy to the previous dynasty, otherwise it would be annoying enough to deal with those women's small means every day.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but think of his crown princess, as well as the side concubine of the Li family, and the gradually increasing number of women in the future.

In fact, the easiest way is to maintain the status of the wife, as long as she is given the right to reward and punish the East Palace, everyone can't make any big waves in the face of the inherent dignity and inferiority, but although Zhu Biao likes Chang Luohua, he is not to the point where his father and queen mother are.

Therefore, he will not easily hand over the right to reward and punish, of course, this is not the right to reward some jewelry or scold a few words, but the power to decide the life and death of the concubines and eunuchs of the East Palace.

Zhu Biao has to wait and see how Chang Luohua behaves internally and externally after marriage, if it is good, Zhu Biao naturally respects his wife, if it is not good, then Rong will be raised, and Yun Jin will be in charge when Zhu Biao is not there.

The hot water for bathing was ready, and the big and small shuang'er were already waiting for him, Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and touched the warm jade of the cat in the bed, then stood up and said to Yun Jin: "You have been busy all day today, go back and rest." ”

After saying that, Zhu Biao was ready to take a comfortable bath, and after Zhu Biao left, Nuan Yu looked at Yun Jin, who was about to go back to rest, and asked: "Sister Yun Jin, I'm afraid, after the princess comes, can I still warm the quilt for the master, will I be driven out of the East Palace to wash clothes." ”

Yun Jin gently leaned over and touched Nuan Yu's little head and said, "You are obedient, as long as you don't do anything wrong, no one can drive you away." ”

Nuan Yu was still a little worried, Yun Jin couldn't help but tease her and said: "Okay, what are you afraid of, even if you are kicked out of the East Palace, I can take care of you, why won't I let you wash the clothes of the little eunuchs, right Liu Jin?" ”

Liu Jin walked in with a pot of new tea, and after hearing the words of the two, he nodded and smiled: "Sister Nuan Yu, don't worry, we also have a little thin noodles outside." ”

Nuan Yu naturally heard that the two were teasing her, and got into the quilt angrily, Yun Jin gently patted her a few times through the quilt, and then got up and prepared to leave.

Liu Jin bowed to Yun Jin and said, "The night is dark, Sister Yun Jin walks slowly." ”

Then Liu Jin instructed outside: "Liu An, send your Aunt Yunjin back to the room to rest." ”

Yun Jin smiled, she also lived in the East Palace, not far from here, but she didn't shirk it, Liu Jin was the big eunuch next to the prince, and the two naturally had a tacit understanding.

Liu Jin didn't mean to be alone with Nuan Yu, put down the teapot and said that Zhu Biao was guarding the door of bathing, and after a while Zhu Biao came out, glanced at Liu Jin and said: "Go back and rest, get up early tomorrow to listen to the letter, I guess my father will call me to the court." ”

Liu Jin immediately bowed down and agreed, and then retreated, and went to the door to order Liu An, who came back, to keep a careful vigil.

Zhu Biao got into the quilt and hugged the warm jade, and as the lights were extinguished, Zhu Biao's mind suddenly appeared in his mind about the women and children crying on the street............

The next day, after Zhu Biao got up and cleaned up, he saw Liu Jin walk in and said, "I guessed right, there is an edict from Kunning Palace, so that you can go to court today." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, put on his court clothes and arrived in front of the gate of Fengtian Palace, all the ministers stepped forward to salute the prince, and Zhu Biao also talked to them cordially.

Then after greeting Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, he walked to the front of the team, and Li Shanchang, who was standing on the side, looked at the gate of the Fengtian Hall in front of him and said, "I don't know what the situation is today." ”

Zhu Biao was silent for a while and said: "Li Xiang still worries about tomorrow, the gap of household officials must be closed as soon as possible, and the autumn harvest in Jiangnan and other places must not be delayed." ”

Li Shanchang was relieved a lot when he heard this, and after a while, the gate of Fengtian Hall opened, Zhu Biao led the way in, and the civil and military officials followed, and after they stood still, they bowed neatly to the emperor on the dragon chair.

After the emperor let him get up, Zhu Biao silently walked up the imperial steps to stand in his position, and looked at his father who was still so radiant and fierce.

As several members of the household department were pushed up to the main hall in prison uniforms, today's court meeting officially began, and the secretary of the criminal department bowed down to tell them the amount of money they had embezzled and the punishment they should bear according to the law.

After Yang Siyi, one of the several people in the household department, heard the halving cut, struggled to stand up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, you only know that you ask your ministers to be loyal to the country, but have you ever considered it for your ministers?" ”

Except for Yang Siyi's voice, no one in the entire court dared to speak, although they didn't say it, but they were silently supporting Yang Siyi, they didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a calm face, and did not rush to scold him, Yang Siyi knew that he had no way to live, and then said: "The minister's dignified four-grade household servant, a year's income is only enough for food and clothing, and he doesn't even have the money to buy a piece of land for his children and grandchildren. The saint is rich in the world, does he have to let the courtiers live a poor life? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Siyi, whose eyes were red, and said: "I have carefully thought about it for you, you may not be able to make a fortune as an official, but the country will not treat your children and grandchildren badly, they can all be given priority to enter the Guozijian to study and get the best education, can't we reuse the really talented?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and looked at the officials and said: "The national strength is limited, can't you see clearly as an official of the state, the people can't even eat, and you are not satisfied with food and clothing!" If you can make the people rich, will I have mercy on your money? ”

Yang Siyi laughed: "Thousands of miles of being an official just to make a fortune, the saint punished the household department this time, but the saint can't stop the corruption and bending the law, how many people in this court are clean, and how many people can have that character to be the saint's courtier!" ”

The imperial historians in the court couldn't help it: "Yang Siyi, you dare to bite indiscriminately when you are dying, and the ministers respectfully ask the saint to deal with this person immediately!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the civil and military forces immediately became noisy, and Yang Siyi was pointed out by everyone, but he smiled even more happily, but tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair and said: "You are not the first, let alone the last, wait below, we will let all the corrupt officials in the world go down to accompany you!" ”

As Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, Shangshu of the Criminal Department waved his hand, and the guards who came in dragged Yang Siyi and the others down.
