Chapter Eighty-Seven: Uncle and Nephew

On 26 November, the third day after Wang Lian's case, the Criminal Department hastily concluded the case on the grounds that the plaintiff was dead.

They didn't involve the king of Han in the case, but just pushed out the Han king's mansion Ji Shan Zhou Xun as a substitute for the dead ghost, and sentenced him to exile for 3,000 miles for homicide.

Since the establishment of Emperor Wen, scholars, especially those who have become officials, have almost been sentenced to death.

Zhu Di's position as emperor was not correct, and in order to let the scholars say more good things to him, he also gave these scholars privileges in many ways.

Zhu Zhanji strongly disagrees with this, as long as the scholars who are officials do not have the death penalty, and they also lack weapons to deter them.

When he succeeds to the throne, don't say that the scholar, he is a member of the royal family, and he should be killed.

If the imperial court law cannot be fair and just, it will only become more and more ruthless in the end, and even the foundation will be rotten.

On November 28, Zhu Zhanji put on a guard of honor for his grandson, and took his mother and a group of younger brothers and sisters to drive the hot springs.

On this trip, Zhu Zhanji not only brought his entourage of guards, but also brought all the 3,000 Yu Lin Zuowei.

In the past few days, Zhu Di has been drafting a decree that a series of personnel appointments will be announced at the New Year's court meeting, the most important of which is to change the Han King Zhu Gaochu from Yunnan to Qingzhou, and order him to leave Beijing before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Although this news is still being kept secret, Zhu Zhanji has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has a good relationship with the eunuchs. Before Zhu Di's will was drawn up, Zhu Zhanji already knew it.

This is tantamount to forcing Zhu Gaoxu to leave Beijing, and this stunned man can't be treated as an ordinary person, maybe he will go crazy and send troops to surround Tangchi Hot Springs, even if he is a grandson, he will suffer a big loss in face.

He didn't dare to deal with Zhu Gaoxu openly, because he was the one who wanted to be the emperor in the future, but Zhu Gaoxi was in despair, who knew what he would do.

Therefore, this time he brought all the troops with him, and explained to the commander Zhao Yongliang that he had to step up his precautions these days.

In December, there were many fewer courses for the young army, and most of the people in Yizilian were helping Zhu Zhanji sort out the materials, and the remaining more than 20 people, he also arranged them on the various main roads between the capital and the soup pool.

Ma Zhicai's uncle and nephew were given a vacation by Zhu Zhanji and asked them to go back to Suzhou to prepare to open the Ma family's glazed kiln to Beijing.

The cement matter can no longer be delayed, and by next spring at the latest, we must come up with the technology, and it is best to directly build the cement road to the grassland.

As for discussing with the Ministry of Industry to integrate various craftsmen and develop new technologies, we will not start until after the end of the Chinese New Year.

In this feudal era, the Chinese New Year was much more important than later generations. Not to mention anything else, just a sacrifice to the gods and ancestors, that is, everyone does not dare to be sloppy.

When they arrived at the hot springs, whether it was the Zhang family or a group of children, without the constraints of the palace, they were all very happy in this royal courtyard.

Except for the hot springs that Zhu Zhanji couldn't soak in for an hour every day, the rest of the time was the same as in the palace, and he still dealt with the unfinished communiqués every day.

In this era, as long as you want to be an emperor who makes a difference, you are definitely much busier than the national leaders of later generations.

There are no perfect rules and regulations in later generations, almost all the responsibility is on the emperor, if it weren't for the dream of Chinese revitalization in his heart, Zhu Zhanji really didn't care about this throne.

Got up earlier than chickens, and did more than cattle, which is the profession of the emperor.

The three thousand feathers of Lin Wei may also be a deterrent, Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to be angry with Zhu Zhanji when there was no evidence, but he really put on a good show in the capital.

On the third day of the first month of December, Zhu Gaoxu, who got the news, posted an announcement at the gate of the Han Palace, saying that he had 3,000 soldiers privately funded, and he spent his own money, and of course these people were not affiliated with the military department.

In addition, he also connived at the soldiers to plunder the goods of merchants inside and outside the Beijing Division, and the merchants of Jiujiang Prefecture were chopped into three sections by him and thrown into the Yangtze River because they did not obey.

Zhu Di was furious when he learned about it, and all the subordinates of the Han Palace's palace were sent to the army, and even the Han Dynasty's long history Shi Cheng Brown was sent to Jiaozhi.

After that, Zhu Gaoxu was imprisoned in the Han Palace, and only went to Qingzhou after the New Year.

However, Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a dragon robe in the mansion, and he wanted to go out in a dragon robe.

The commander in charge of supervising him made Xu Yedonkey guard the door, and he was hacked to death by him.

Although Zhu Di was furious, it was impossible to kill his son. Therefore, he could only cut off the two guards of the Han Palace, leaving only one of his three teams of guards. and sent his henchman eunuch Wang Yan to the Han Palace, guarding Zhu Gaoxu.

Wang Yannai is the number one confidant by Zhu Di's side, in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and his power is tilted inside and outside the government. In addition, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is not afraid of Zhu Gaochu at all, so Zhu Gaochu is honest.

It wasn't until the New Year that Zhu Zhanji took the Zhang family back to the palace, and they not only had to prepare for the New Year, collect the farm New Year's gifts, but also worship their ancestors.

After three busy days, Zhu Zhanji took care of the business and farm affairs.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Di took the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the grandson Zhu Zhanji, and the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, and the Zhao King Zhu Gaosui, who returned from Beiping, to the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Tomb to worship their ancestors.

After Zhu Gaosui comes back this time, the fief will also change. It will be moved from Beiping to Zhangde Mansion.

Zhangde Mansion is also the Anyang of the later generations, which is actually not bad at all compared to the current Beiping, and it is closer to Yingtianfu.

Zhu Gaosui, who is obsessed with doing business, has no opinion, he even wants to find a fief in the south of the Yangtze River, even if it is not a big state, just a small county town.

But Zhu Di did not allow the entire Jiangnan area to be used as a permanent reserve for the royal family, and this rich land would not canonize any royal family in the future.

is also because the current Ningbo City Bosi is under the control of Zhu Zhanji, so the current Zhu Gaosui has a friendly attitude towards Zhu Zhanji, which is a bit stammering.

Less than 10 days after Zhu Zhanji returned to the capital, Zhu Gaosui personally visited the door twice and sent people to give gifts three times.

His attitude also made Zhu Gaoxu more and more dissatisfied, and then he didn't have a good face for this younger brother.

The convoy stopped at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and everyone had to walk up the mountain. Everyone else didn't matter, even the three brothers' group of children over the age of five, who didn't care about this little bit of mountain road.

But this is going to kill Zhu Gaochi.

He was fat, his chest was tight and short of breath, and he also had sores on his feet, which made him unable to walk, so he sat on his shoulders on weekdays.

Now he couldn't sit anymore, so he could only shoot four sturdy eunuchs to follow, working in pairs, taking turns to hold his armpits and let his feet hit the ground up the mountain.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi was at the front, followed by the kings of Zhao and Han, and Zhu Zhanji led the third generation, following them.

The old Zhu family has reached Zhu Zhanji's generation, and there are now many brothers, and there are more than a dozen over five years old. Although they are young, they were born in the royal family, and they are sensible very early.

At this time, when I came to worship at Xiaoling, no one complained that I was tired.

Halfway up the mountain, Zhu Gaochi's two legs were almost dragged on the ground, often slipping. Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "The predecessors lost, and the descendants knew the police." ”

This is to use the slippage of the soles of Zhu Gaochi's feet to ridicule Zhu Gaochi.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji would not let him make fun of him, and said: "There are more posterity who know the police." ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head sharply and looked at Zhu Zhanji, although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were fierce.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji was not afraid of his eyes, and reached out and patted the air in front of him. "It's winter, and there are even ladybugs flying around."

Although Zhu Gaoxu was rude, he also knew that Zhu Zhanji was using the topic to satirize himself.

He smiled and said, "I didn't notice that Junji is so big." ”

Zhu Zhanji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle Han pays attention to the affairs of the court all day long, how can he care about me as a child." ”

"Not young, seventeen years old......" He suddenly froze, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes became more and more fierce. It's you ......."

Zhu Zhanjiyun said lightly: "What is Uncle Han Wang talking about? I don't understand something......"

He stood two steps higher than Zhu Zhanji, stared at Zhu Zhanji condescendingly, lowered his voice and said, "It's you, you made the incident last month?" ”

Of course, Zhu Zhanji would not admit it in front of him, and said: "Uncle Han, don't delay any longer, the directors of the Ministry of Rites are still waiting for us, and it will not be good if we miss the auspicious time." ”

He saw that there were still nephews behind Zhu Zhanji, looking at him with some fear, he came to his senses and let go of his body. "You go up first, I'll say a few words to your grandson brother!"

It wasn't that he didn't suspect Zhu Zhanji before, but this matter was done too cleanly, and in the end, he put his suspicious eyes on Zhu Di, because only he could make this matter unbearable.

That's why he deliberately acted recklessly in the mansion, in order to be angry with Zhu Di. Since you don't care about my son, my son is deliberately against you.

But now that I think about it, if Zhu Di wants to deal with him, there is no need to ruin his reputation at all, because to ruin his reputation is to discredit the royal family.

Now that his suspicious eyes are on Zhu Zhanji, the more he thinks about it, the more certain he becomes. "Ji Gang, that villain has already taken refuge in you, right? With the help of Jinyiwei, you can blame Zhou Xun in the Criminal Department! ”

Zhu Zhanji asked, "What is Uncle Han talking about?" Are you talking about Zhou Xun's murder of Wang Lian? Why didn't the people from the Criminal Department do it themselves? ”

"Impossible!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes froze, and then he laughed. "Uncle Han Wang is so sure, is it possible to say that Liu Guan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is your person?"

This Liu Guan and Zhu Zhanji have long been unaccustomed to it, and the overall atmosphere in the current court is still relatively good. But no matter how good the atmosphere is, there will inevitably be some black sheep.

Like Fang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liu Guan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, are the two biggest corrupt officials in the civil official system of the imperial court.

He can't participate in court politics, so even if he knows this, he doesn't have the right to report to Zhu Di, otherwise he is ill-intentioned.

Now that you know that Liu Guan is the person of the King of Han, don't blame him for doing the black thing.
