Zhu Zhang's words, although there was a slight suspicion of greeting, but Zhu Yuanzhang was still very useful when he heard it, and the last sentence, "I hope that you are in good health, and the sons will have the backbone" even spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he looked at Zhu Zhang, nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "You have been filial since you were a child, this is well known to my father, and now that I am a vassal king, I must think more about the country." ”

Zhu Fan bowed down and replied, "My son must follow the teachings. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked: "There has been a big incident in Beijing recently, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Zhu Fan raised his head and said frankly: "What my father said, but Fang Keqin exposed the empty seal of the account book, and the household department and local officials joined forces to commit fraud? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It seems that you are not idle in the mansion, and you also know about the affairs in the capital." ”

Standing in Zhu Zhang's position, Zhu Yuanzhang's question is difficult to answer, answer the concern, why should the king of the first domain care about the court situation? If you don't get it, you will be labeled as a conspiracy; Answer: If you don't pay attention to it, you will become an unworthy prince, so Zhu Yuanzhang's words seem to be casual, but there are many traps, which are enough to make people in a dilemma, fortunately, Zhu Fan has been prepared and skillfully avoided the edge of the problem: "This matter is now full of wind and rain in the city, Erchen is in Beijing, it is difficult to think about it, the magistrate of Xi'an has come to Erchen's Mansion several times to inquire about the news, and he also wants Erchen to say good things for them and intercede, but Erchen knows that the matter is very important, so he didn't dare to see them without permission and turned them away." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and praised with a smile: "You know the general situation very well, it's right to do this, these officials, they don't think about benefiting the people on weekdays, they turn a deaf ear to the admonition of their father, and they don't repent when the case is discovered, they just think about drilling camps everywhere, it's really damned." What do you think about this? ”

Zhu Fan hesitated, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a tangled manner, and said for a long time: "This matter is very important, and I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's ambiguous attitude made Zhu Yuanzhang very dissatisfied, because this answer was too cunning, so he reprimanded: "I am asking you now, where did you mention the prince?" Don't you know the words of the prince, and you won't speak? ”

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand, Zhu Fan was still hesitant, his words flickered, and he did not return positively: "I don't know what the prince admonished, my son is not easy to say." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth angrily, but after thinking about it, the second child's implication was obviously that he didn't want to disagree with the prince, and it was not a big problem to have the right to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, but also the way to protect himself, so he said coldly: "The prince suggested that these officials be lenient, demoted and retained to see the after-effects, and the system of canceling accounts should be reformed." ”

Zhu Fan heard it and immediately said: "The prince's advice is also what his son wants to say. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger immediately rose up, and his tone became a lot heavier: "You are a dignified vassal king, why don't you have any opinions, everyone is the same, you haven't made much progress in the past few years." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's last sentence seemed to sting Zhu Zhang, and Zhu Fan suddenly raised his head and defended: "Father Mingjian, it's not that the son has no opinion, it's just that ......" Zhu Fan hesitated again.

Zhu Yuanzhang could see that Zhu Fan had something unspeakable, so he asked, "It's just what?" ”

Zhu Fan looked very embarrassed: "The prince is not only the eldest brother of his son, but also the future king of his son, so the son should not have any beak in the prince's advice, besides, the eldest brother has always been generous and lenient, which is also in line with the teachings of the saints."

Teaching, my son is afraid that he will say too much, and it will be spread in the future, and his son will ......" Zhu Fan deliberately did not say the following words.

Zhu Yuanzhang is so smart, how can he not hear the meaning that Zhu Fan didn't say: "It's all nonsense, I am asking what you really think in your heart, not whether you should beak the prince." Besides, the law is not passed on to the six ears, and now there are only our father and son, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will others know. ”

Zhu Fan still hesitated: "Then ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang urged impatiently: "Say, say whatever you want!" ”

Zhu Fan plucked up his courage: "The son said it bluntly, the son thinks that although the household department and local officials have a reason for the empty printing of the account books, they are unscrupulously exploiting the loopholes of the imperial court system, and they are committing fraud and favoritism in their hands. Zhu Fan was very excited, couldn't help coughing a few times, gasped twice, and then said: "If the officials in the world don't want to take responsibility and want to do less, then why does the imperial court raise these officials?" If the officials in the world don't do anything, then why does the court give them money? If the parents and officials of the people are all such mediocre officials who are bent on favoritism and disregard for the people's livelihood, then what hope do the people have? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhu Rong's answer, but asked quietly: "Then how do you think this case should be handled?" ”

Zhu Rong's tone was even higher: "Strict investigation, investigation to the end, but whether it is investigation or killing, it is not the goal, the real purpose is to deter those officials who are lazy in government, and it is also necessary to set an example for those officials who bully the monarch and vainly try to bully the monarch, and tell them clearly that my Ming court does not raise mediocre officials and corrupt officials, and the people of the Ming Dynasty do not want to be lazy officials." Only when all the officials in the world work hard, can the people truly live and work in peace and contentment, and can the country of our Ming Dynasty be stable. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, he suddenly found that the idea of this second child was surprisingly consistent with his own, this is the successor he wanted, he looked at Zhu Fan with appreciation, and for the first time felt that this son was so good, but Zhu Yuanzhang was so good at all, and his demeanor was not revealed at all, but he said coldly very casually: "However, I think that the prince's statement also has a certain truth, if these officials are killed, then who will handle the local government affairs, and the new officials are not familiar with the situation, what if there is chaos?" ”

Zhu Fan responded calmly: "Does my father think that an honest and promising official who is not familiar with the situation will make a mess?" Or are officials who are opportunistic and take advantage of loopholes more likely to cause trouble? Newly appointed officials are not familiar with the local situation, and they can use three or five months or even a year to get acquainted with it; even if there is chaos, at most it will be a year and a half at most, and there will never be such a big chaos as a popular uprising, but if these moth-eaters and corrupt officials continue to do their work, then the chaos in the future will not be three or five years. Then he said with a little excitement: "During the Zheng period, the Mongolian officials were greedy for ink, so that the people were dissatisfied, and the people rose up, and finally the world was in chaos. Didn't my father be oppressed by the ink officials and rise up against the Yuan? Yin Jian is not far away, and his father is Mingjian. ”

Zhu Fan retreated, but Zhu Yuanzhang fell into contemplation again, the two sons not only gave completely opposite answers, more important things, the two answers behind the two answers represent two completely different concepts of governance, representing two ways to control the ministers and the world, as a father and an old man who has experienced wind and frost and blood rain, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that the prince's answer is more in line with Confucianism

Orthodoxy, being kind to others, and being generous and benevolent, can not only make people grateful to Dade, but also educate them; But in another identity, as the emperor, as the supreme ruler who holds the authority of the world, Zhu Yuanzhang agrees with Zhu Rong's point of view, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and a thousand miles of embankment is destroyed in an anthill.

Thinking of Zhu Zhang, in the past few years, he has led the party and has been successful, not only has the obscure strategy of self-preservation, but also the judgment of the world from the perspective of the overall situation, from this point of view, Zhu Fan is stronger than the prince.

Zhu Fan came out of the palace, thinking all the way, his answers were all according to Liu Jing's design, there was absolutely no problem, but the emperor didn't react from beginning to end, did his answer fit his mind? Zhu Fan really didn't know the bottom in his heart. "Lord Wang, it's here." The housekeeper called softly outside the car, Zhu Fan realized that he had returned to the palace, just got off the car, Zhu Fan had not yet entered the mansion, he saw a horse team behind him hurrying over, looking at the honor guard costume, it was obviously the person who was pro-army twelve guards, Zhu Fan was wondering, only to see several military attaches in the front row throw off their horses from afar, and walked towards him quickly, the person in front Zhu Fan recognized that it was the commander of the Shenwuwei Feng opponent.

Feng was ordered to deliver the decree, and when he saw Zhu Fan coming over, he didn't take Qincha's shelf, he stood still with a smile, and said loudly: "By the holy order, give King Qin a ferret for a piece of Dayu, and King Qin kneel to receive it." ”

After listening to Feng's opponent's words, Zhu Rong's heart that had been hanging all the way finally fell, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him: "Son-in-law, thank you father Emperor Longen." ”

Taking over the ferret, Zhu Fan smiled and took Feng's opponent's hand, "Old Feng, you are fat again, let's go, go into my house and have a drink." ”

In the face of King Qin's enthusiasm, Feng's opponent was very useful, but he still said to Zhu Fan with a smile: "Thank you for appreciating the wine, but the lower officials still have garrison duties, and they don't dare to be greedy for cups, so they have to go back to restore their lives." ”

Zhu Fan didn't force him to stay, and said to Chu Liuxiang, the housekeeper beside him: "Come on, get some wine money, don't let Lao Feng and his brothers work hard in vain." ”

The treasure money brought by the housekeeper Chu Liuxiang was five hundred yuan, and Feng Opponent knew at a glance that there were at least four thick, so he shirked it slightly: "According to the holy order, how can I take the prince's money, how can I be embarrassed to ......" Feng Opponent said while stuffing the treasure money into his arms.

Zhu Fan happily entered the house, and couldn't wait to hold the ferret in his hand and look at it carefully, he gently and cherished the big one, and unconsciously showed a smug smile on his face, this ferret big is also ordinary, but the time of this reward is really interesting.

Zhu Fan strode back to his study, and said to Liu Jing excitedly: "Mr. God, my father summoned me, and it was really for the case of empty printing of the account book, and my father was very satisfied with my answer. ”

"It's still a little early for His Highness to be happy now, and we have to wait and see what the situation will be in the future." Liu Jing looked very calm, and then slowly walked outside.

Looking at Liu Jing's back, Zhu Fan gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Liu Jing, I will definitely take you under my command.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned King Qin, and Zhu Biao soon found out. What made Zhu Biao even more unexpected, he actually rewarded the ferret as soon as he was summoned, Zhu Biao was unhappy, and hurriedly found Wang Ben and others.
