Chapter 14 Kaifeng Prefect
In the Yamen of the Kaifeng Prefect, Lu Yuanshan, the current prefect of Kaifeng, is a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi, this is the time for rest in Japan, and officials naturally have a time to rest.
Since the beginning of the Xuande year, officials have one day off every ten days. On that day, the officials and their subordinate officials were not responsible for government affairs.
On this day, the case will not be heard, and no official will be sent out. Except for those on duty, everyone else is resting.
Governor Lu is in the garden at the moment, watering the vegetable patch there.
The previous prefects spent a lot of money to get a garden, but as soon as the prefect of Lu came, he made a vegetable plot.
The officials all felt distressed when they looked at it, and they all felt very pity.
"Report to your lord, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou's Mansion has arrived at the door. Please come out as soon as possible. ”
The official on duty did not have the leisure and leisure of Governor Lu's mansion, and hurriedly reported the news when he entered the backyard.
Today happens to be the day of the holiday, but someone is visiting at this time.
If a lower-level yamen visits, the yamen will definitely not come to report.
It's just that His Royal Highness in this palace, no matter which His Royal Highness he is, is too big, and the officials can't afford to bear it.
"Oh? But here I am today. And wait for the official to change his clothes, change into court clothes and then go out to greet him. ”
After that, he hurried back to the wing room where he lived.
At the gate of the prefect's yamen, Zhu Shaoli and Zhu Shaochen had been waiting for a stick of incense at the door.
"This prefect is so powerful. Let the two of our Highnesses wait outside the door? ”
Lu Jiao'er didn't get out of the car, but said from the driver's seat.
Another official was beside him, but he did not dare to speak.
Lu Jiao'er, this can be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger.
As soon as Lu Jiao'er's words fell, he saw a person, wearing a scarlet official uniform with a cloud swallow on his chest, walking out quickly.
When they arrived in front of Zhu Shaochen and them, they hurriedly said to Zhu Shaoli with a deep bow, "Your Highness is visiting, and the officials have missed the distance, so you really forgive your sins!" ”
Zhu Shaoli didn't accept the stubble of the Lu prefect, and the Lu prefect had to worship again, this prefect was the official of the fourth grade, and Zhu Shaochen hurriedly returned the gift politely.
Zhu Shaochen said, "Today is a day of rest. The main palace and others came to visit, and did not inform the prefect in advance. It's ours not to say that. ”
Since Zhu Shaoli didn't reveal his identity, he naturally wouldn't say it.
Seeing that it was a child who replied to his words, Governor Lu couldn't help but wonder, "The lower official is clumsy, I don't know which of the two is His Royal Highness?" ”
There are dozens of county kings in Kaifeng City who can call His Royal Highness, but none of them are less than ten years old.
Ni Poyu hurriedly introduced Governor Lu, "Lord Lu, this is the third highness of my royal son. ”
Ni Poyu himself doesn't need to be introduced, no one knows that he is a personal guard.
Zhu Shaoli didn't dare to reveal his identity, because he didn't get permission from Zhou Wangye to go out.
"Oh, Your Majesty is clumsy, Your Highness must not be annoyed. Hurry inside please. ”
Governor Lu hurriedly invited the three of them into the prefect's yamen.
Zhu Shaoli and Zhu Shaochen entered the living room, Zhu Shaochen sat in the right seat, and Lu Zhifu accompanied him.
Zhu Shaoli and Ni Poyu stood on both sides of Zhu Shaochen and acted as guards.
"Lord Lu, this palace is here mainly because our prince has an order. Originally, this matter was an internal problem of my Zhou Mansion. However, this person escaped ...... yesterday. ”
Zhu Shaochen gave a rough introduction to Zhu Lunchang like this.
"Then according to His Highness's intentions, is it for the lower officials to send people to inspect everywhere?" Governor Lu asked.
"Yes, there was not so much to do when this person was captured in the palace. This person has escaped from the palace, so it is inconvenient for the guards of our palace to search in the city. I also hope that my lord can send a servant to arrest him quickly and eliminate this great evil for my palace. ”
Zhu Shaochen replied. In fact, he should have sent someone to contact the government last night, but he was the one who arranged for him to come yesterday? As soon as he asked his second brother to say it, he simply dragged it on for a night.
"If it is usually a subordinate official, it will be arranged immediately. But today is a day of rest. The officials of the yamen and the three classes of soap officials were not on duty. Your Highness, do you think you can arrange it for Your Highness tomorrow? ”
Governor Lu replied with a look of embarrassment.
In fact, it is no wonder that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the clan had limited rights and could not interfere in local affairs.
In fact, it is not looked down upon by officials. Although the members of the clan are often noble, because they do not have a background in the imperial examination, most of the scholars look down on the members of the clan.
But Zhu Shaochen is the grandson of the prince, and the grandson of the prince corresponds to the prince of the county.
There is also a right to fold up. So Governor Lu tried it a little.
To see if Wang Sun is real, he wants to force himself to urge all the officials back to work.
"If that's the case, then Lord Laofutai will arrange it tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shaochen wished for this. He still remembers what Zhu Shaoren said to him yesterday.
If Zhu Lunchang is really filial piety for his mother, there is no shortage of men.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the lower official will write tomorrow, Kaifeng has jurisdiction over four states and twenty-eight counties, and this person must be arrested."
Governor Lu saw that His Royal Highness Wang Sun was quite understanding, and he should be a good person to get along with.
Unlike some county kings and Zhenguo generals in Kaifeng, they speak unceremoniously to themselves.
Partial, he was born as the prefect in this Kaifeng city, and there were countless lawsuits related to the county kings of the Zhou domain and various generals and lieutenants throughout the year.
"The prefect has a heart, so the palace will leave first." Zhu Shaochen stood up and walked out, and Zhu Shaoli and Ni Poyu also hurriedly followed.
"Then the official sends His Highness to him."
Governor Lu hurriedly stepped forward and sent Zhu Shaochen and his party all the way to the gate of the yamen.
"Lord Lu, take care."
Zhu Shaochen said that Lu Jiao'er had already opened the car door.
Governor Lu saw Zhu Shaoli and Zhu Shaochen sitting in the carriage together. Could it be that this person is another king's grandson?
Lu Zhifu remembered that the grandson of King Zhou was a young man about six feet tall. However, since people don't show their beauty, Governor Lu doesn't think there is such a thing.
Don't mess with it. In the final analysis, this Kaifeng City is still the fief of King Zhou.
"Third brother, why do you have to compromise so much with those fourth-grade officials? Grandpa Wang assigned this to you just so that you can get a. Zhu Shaoli asked puzzled.
"Big brother, there is indeed a secret here. When we go back, you can ask the second brother. Let's go to my uncle first. Zhu Shaochen said.
"Okay then, but let's not go to my uncle's first, I'll take you to meet a friend."
Zhu Shaoli said mysteriously to Ni Poyu, "Poyu, go to the junior brother." ”
"Yes." Ni Poyu turned to Lu Jiao'er and said, "Let me try your car." I've been watching this for a long time. ”
This frightened Lu Jiao'er, "Don't, although the villain is much more sparse than you, he also practiced for two days before he dared to walk on the road." You just look at the villain, I drove this way. Try it yourself. The villain is worried about ......"
