Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Emperor's Father and Son Join Forces to Pit Ministers
Since Hu Pengju entered prison for ten days, Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di's lives have been much easier, with less fear of assassination, less targeting by the prime minister, and the industry is getting bigger and bigger.
In just ten days, even the warehouse that Zhu Di used to store silver taels before was not enough to fit, which shows how much wealth Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao brought to Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao with just one Nanjing City.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Your Majesty has an order, immediately summon Marven and return to the palace." Just when Ma Sanbao was going to go to the restaurant with Zhu Di, the prince appeared outside the palace of the Fourth Highness, and now, the time to go to Beiping is getting closer and closer, and Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di during this time rarely decided to drink and relax, and were summoned to the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Ma Sanbao was helpless, the wine to his mouth was so far away from him, but he didn't dare to complain, he was the emperor's son next to him, it was impossible to scold the emperor in front of the prince, right? That Ma Sanbao definitely thinks his life is too long.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose to meet in the main hall, but chose to be in his own bedroom, Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom is in the center of the entire palace, the magnificent decoration shows the style of the Ming royal family, Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom can be described as the most luxurious building in the whole Nanjing city, Zhu Yuanzhang lazily leaned on the bed, and did not wear the luxurious dragon robe he usually wears, but a black silk dress.
Although dressed casually, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be born with the spirit of a tyrant, and there is endless majesty in his black eyes, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is there, the people around him will look bleak.
Zhu Yuanzhang lazily accepted the service of the maid, and there were a lot of fruits in front of him, most of which were melons and fruits that ordinary families could only buy on important festivals in the past year, but for Zhu Yuanzhang, they were not very valuable.
On the table, there is a purple sand teacup carved with a dragon, Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, since it is the most luxurious configuration of the Ming Dynasty, even the dragon bed, is carved from a rare huanghuali, Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom, a quaint and domineering decoration, showing his domineering spirit.
"Your Majesty, someone brought it!" Seeing that the prince brought it to the dormitory, Zhu Yuanzhang got up, picked up the expensive teapot in front of him, poured the tea into the cup, and poured the tea by the emperor himself, which was a rare treatment.
Ma Sanbao was amazed at the fragrance of tea in front of him, even the expensive tea leaves placed in his office in his previous life were not as fragrant as the tea poured out of Zhu Yuanzhang's teapot, Ma Sanbao was surprised, I don't know why Zhu Yuanzhang was looking for him.
"Wenhe, do you remember your official position?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually in the tea room, Ma Sanbao was shocked, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him this official position just in name, how could he ask about the official position.
"Of course the minister remembers, supervising the imperial history, didn't Your Majesty let me supervise the Fourth Highness? I have always been conscientious, I have been doing my job, and I have been supervising. Ma Sanbao smiled, he sighed in his heart, he really didn't take his official position seriously, he originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was just giving him an official position to confuse him, and he never thought that His Majesty would ask about his profession.
"Remember, that's good. I have an idea to change the Ming Imperial Historical Observatory into the Ming Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is specifically responsible for investigating and dealing with collusion against the party, what do you think? Di'er, give me a reply. Zhu Yuanzhang sipped the tea in his hand and said casually, for what department to set up, it was just an idea for Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he thought about it, he could achieve it.
"What the father thinks, the son does not dare to say much, if the father is willing, then change! Erchen thinks that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has more characteristics of my Ming Dynasty! Zhu Di bowed down and spoke cautiously, he looked at Ma Sanbao, trying to ask for help from Ma Sanbao, but Ma Sanbao just nodded and did not give Zhu Di more reply, Zhu Di was frightened, and he didn't know why his father asked this question.
Metropolitan Procuratorate, can Ma Sanbao not know? Of course, he knew that in the future history of the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be an institution established in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, why did Zhu Yuanzhang have such an idea at the end of the twelfth year of Hongwu? He began to question the correctness of the historical facts he had studied, forgetting that his appearance had caused a paradox in this time and space, and some of the historical facts he would learn in the future were a little ahead of time.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is different from the Imperial Historical Observatory, the influence of the Imperial Procuratorate is wider, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate is established, his identity as a superintendent of the imperial history will change from a nine-rank official position to an eight-grade official position, don't look at the official position is only one level higher, you must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the first class of officials crushed people!
The Imperial Historical Observatory wants to reform the Chengdu Procuratorate, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang intends to start the consolidation of his power, and Zhu Yuanzhang's Imperial Historical Observatory has already collected information about many officials for him, not to mention the significance of changing to the Chengdu Procuratorate, the power of the Imperial Procuratorate is greater than that of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and it can be impeached officials, which can be described as a behemoth that replaces the prime minister and is necessary to disintegrate the prime minister's power.
"I have a mission, I don't know if Wen He is willing to follow the arrangement?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ma Sanbao, his eyes were meaningful, and he seemed to be very sure that Ma Sanbao would agree.
Ma Sanbao sighed in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even tell him the content of the task, and directly asked him if he agreed, didn't he put a knife on his neck and force him to agree? He was helpless, what else could he do? I can only say yes, what else can he say? This is obviously not reasonable with Zhu Yuanzhang, in Daming, there is no human affection, and the unspoken rule of the emperor's opening is that you must agree.
Ma Sanbao wanted to show embarrassment, but he still restrained his helpless look, and promised Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face, and what responded to him was Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter.
"I know that you must be very reluctant to say yes, after all, you don't even know what I told you to do, and I don't blame you. You know me very well, yes, I think you are the best person for this mission, so I chose you, and hopefully, you will not disappoint me. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, the previous majesty was gone, however, his smile made Ma Sanbao even more frightened, he didn't understand when he would say the wrong thing to provoke this emperor, this emperor was not his father after all, it was impossible to tolerate him for everything.
"I, I hope you will supervise Cheng Shang and Hu Weiyong in the imperial history, previously, the right prime minister Wang Guangyang had hinted that Hu Weiyong was anti-minded, but I have no substantive evidence, your task is to first extract some news about Hu Weiyong from Wang Guangyang in prison, and secondly, to investigate the evidence and candidates of Hu Weiyong's collusion against the party, do you think you can succeed?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, he put a pair of big hands on Ma Sanbao's shoulders, signaling that Ma Sanbao would definitely succeed, but Ma Sanbao didn't think so, he wanted to cry without tears, and felt that the emperor in front of him had too high expectations for himself?
Ma Sanbao wanted to cry, he really didn't want to agree to Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang regarded himself as an omnipotent genius, did he? He is not, in his previous life, he was just a naval admiral who was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, how could he have the talent to spy and investigate? That's what the FBI did, he's not an intelligence expert, besides, Daming doesn't have drones, or bugs and monitors, let him supervise the prime minister, what can he supervise? Let's not talk about what he can get out of the mouths of these prime ministers, even whether the prime minister is happy to let him supervise a hairy boy is a problem, and his ability to play with binoculars does not mean that he can make bugs!
Zhu Di's face couldn't help but be worried, now, the time to go to Beiping is imminent, his father actually assigned a task to Ma Sanbao, he Zhu Di is a little inseparable from Ma Sanbao, since Ma Sanbao appeared by his side, Zhu Di's life is like riding a rocket, not to mention the wealth he has, even his vision has improved a lot, he is still at ease with Ma Sanbao, in his opinion, Ma Sanbao is omnipotent, he just doesn't want to leave Ma Sanbao.
"Don't look at me with such eyes, you kid, I understand that you are going back to Beiping, so I specially approve you to stay in Nanjing City, wait for Wenhe to complete the task, and then go back to Beiping with you, what do you think?" There is another point that I can give you a side of the net, the previous Wenhe bet with me in the main hall, I will give you some more time, and start calculating after getting Wenhe to complete the task, what do you think? Zhu Yuanzhang obviously saw Zhu Di's worries, as Zhu Di's biological father, his two most optimistic highnesses are Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, as far as Zhu Di's careful thoughts, can he still be unclear? Since he met Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di didn't even ask much about his own son, but was extremely enthusiastic about this eight-year-old child, Zhu Yuanzhang was not blind, so he naturally saw Zhu Di's importance to Ma Sanbao.
"Father Xie, my son believes that Wen He will live up to his mission and complete the task assigned by his father!" Before Ma Sanbao could say anything, Zhu Di took the lead in agreeing to Zhu Yuanzhang's task for Ma Sanbao.
Hearing Zhu Di's words, Ma Sanbao's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything, why did Zhu Di decide for himself without authorization? He wanted to cry, wanted to find someone to talk to, but couldn't find a target, he wished that he could use lingering to make the two fathers and sons stunned and escape.
Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang, the father and son, obviously teamed up to push themselves into the fire pit, he is only a nine-rank official position, how can He De supervise Shang Wei, who is the middle of the imperial history, and how can He De go to the prison to interrogate Wang Guangyang, but Wang Guangyang's fate still subverted Ma Sanbao's cognition, in his cognition, Wang Guangyang should have been sent to Hainan and finally poisoned on the way, but I didn't expect that he was still in Nanjing City, and it was in the prison in Nanjing City.
"The minister will not fail in his mission!" Ma Sanbao gritted his teeth, he agreed with difficulty to this errand that gave him a headache, these two fathers and sons are simply not human, and he also understands that if he does not agree to Zhu Yuanzhang, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.
