The stove has a strong ability to act, and after knowing that he is doing things for His Royal Highness the Prince, his emotions are also very high, so the speed of the construction of the salt pond is also very fast, under the guidance of Zhu Houzhao, it took three days to build a small salt drying field, as the sea water slowly flows into the salt pond, Zhu Houzhao gently breathed a sigh of relief, this feeling of creation and change is very good.

After glancing at the dim sky, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and said, "Eat meat at night, treat yourself to the palace, Liu Jin, go get some wine!" ”

As night fell, the fire was lit, and the salt pan was bustling with activity, with meat boiling in the cauldron and meat on the grill on one side, and the smell of wine mixed with meat wafting far away, and the laughter of the stove owners wafting farther than the smell of wine and meat. Listening to their shouting and drinking, Zhu Houzhao raised his head and looked at the starry sky, this is the fireworks, the breath of life.

Sitting in front of the fire, Zhu Houzhao roasted a leg of mutton, took out a knife to cut off a leg of mutton, and put it in his mouth, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaim, the mutton in this era is so good.

picked up the wine jar and took a big sip, Zhu Houzhao felt that life at this moment was really beautiful, but this beauty disappeared with Liu Jin's arrival. Walking quickly to Zhu Houzhao's side, Liu Jin stretched out his hand and handed a letter to Zhu Houzhao, and then said with some eagerness: "Your Highness, the letter from the capital is from the emperor to His Royal Highness."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly, he still came, he couldn't hide, he reached out and took the letter that Liu Jin received, tore open the seal, and then took out the letter, Zhu Houzhao looked at it by the firelight.

The content of the letter is very simple, the front is concerned about Zhu Houzhao's life and body, and then mentions that since the matter in Yangzhou is over, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible! The queen misses her son very much, which is also a common reason for Huaxia's father, your mother misses you, and then she vaguely reminds her son that the matter should be stopped at this point, and it can't be continued.

Although he knew what his father's letter meant, Zhu Houzhao still felt quite warm.

Zhu Houzhao also understands his father's difficulties, this time the Ye family has been completely moved, whether it is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger or killing the chicken and setting an example to the monkey, it is actually enough, if it continues, there will really be trouble. If Daddy hadn't been stressed, he wouldn't have written this letter to himself, put it in front of the fire and lit it, and then watched the letter burn to ashes.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's interest didn't seem to be very high, Liu Jin hurriedly said on the side: "Your Highness, it's not early, isn't it time to go back?" ”

After a moment of silence, Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Go back!" ”

From this day on, Zhu Houzhao began to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing in addition to paying attention to the salt field every day, because it was not a hot summer, and the speed of drying salt was not very fast, and it was not until half a month later that the salt was dried on the side of the salt pond, but watching the stove household shovel salt with a shovel, Zhu Houzhao was relieved and succeeded, and he did not run in vain on this trip to the two Huai salt fields.

In the next few days, Zhu Houzhao organized other stove households to start building salt ponds, and Zhu Houzhao was originally going to finish most of the repairs before leaving for Beijing, but Zhu Houzhao didn't wait at all.

This time the capital came not a letter but a holy decree, and the holy decree that asked Zhu Houzhao to return to Beijing, Zhu Houzhao knew that something was wrong, and he couldn't go back to Beijing.

"Your Highness!" Mu Bin walked in from the outside with an ugly face, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he bowed down and said, "Something happened, Ye Qi is dead." ”

Hearing Mu Bin's words, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and his face became gloomy: "How did you die?" ”

"After arriving in the capital, I was killed in prison!" Mu Bin's face was ugly at this time, and he lowered his head and said.

Crashed to death in prison? Zhu Houzhao finally understood why the holy decree in the capital came so quickly, and he also knew why his father was in such a hurry to transfer himself back to Beijing. Although the affairs of the Ye family are big things, the current situation is completely different from before, before they just arrested the people of the Ye family and raided their homes, but now Ye Qi is dead.

If you don't die sooner, you won't die later, but you just died after you arrived in the capital, this is clearly deliberate, after glancing at Mu Bin, Zhu Houzhao knew what Mu Bin was worried about.

The Ye family was arrested by him, and the Ye family was also copied by him, Ye Qi's death will definitely be deducted on Mu Bin's head and kill Ye Qi, it is conceivable that Mu Bin will be an image in the history books. Originally, Mu Bin's evaluation in the history books was still very high, but now there is no need to think about it. Wen Guan has a pen, and the history books are the little girls who let them dress up, how they will write about Mu Bin, and how they will write about this time, you can imagine.

Zhu Houzhao can probably imagine that Shou Ninghou colluded with Dongchang Jinyiwei to seek salt profits, and was unjustly imprisoned, forcing how many people to die.

"It's really tough!" Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, when this kind of thing happened at this time, Zhu Houzhao was naturally angry in his heart, and the order to arrest Ye Qi was given by him. However, Zhu Houzhao also knew why Ye Qi did this, this was forcing him with his life, Ye Qi forced the court to force his father to let go of the Ye family with his life, and he was determined and courageous.

If Ye Qi doesn't die, the court will give Ye Qi preferential treatment, but Ye Qi's family must be punished and punished.

Now that Ye Qi is dead, he is dead, this will arouse the sympathy of the scholars, Zhu Houzhao can imagine what the situation in the capital is now, what kind of attitude the officials in the court will be, who proposes to severely punish the Ye family, then he will face everyone's anger. Even if he bypassed the Ye family, someone had to bear this anger, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Mu Bin.

Walking straight to Mu Bin's side, Zhu Houzhao reached out and patted Mu Bin's shoulder, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, the person was ordered by the palace, and the palace is responsible for this!" ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Mu Bin knelt on the ground with a plop, and pestled the ground with his head: "The minister doesn't know why His Highness wants to arrest the Ye family, but the minister knows that His Highness has his own reasons for doing this, and the minister is willing to do his best for His Highness. ”

"These days, the minister follows His Highness, watching His Highness do these things, the minister knows that His Highness is ambitious, His Highness is for the Ming Dynasty, His Highness's name cannot be dusted, for His Highness, for the Ming Dynasty, why do you regret this body!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Mu Bin, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "You have to know, if you take this responsibility this time, the official can't keep it, maybe your life is gone, do you really want to do this?" ”

Mu Bin kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao again, and then said loudly: "The minister dares to do it without regrets, the minister only asks His Highness for one thing, please Your Highness for the sake of the minister's little work, and leave the queen for the Mu family." “
