Since he saw Zhu Changluo that day, Lu Qingzhi has been nervous, his eyelids can't stop jumping, he has a hunch that this prince is not good.
But a few days passed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take any other action except to urge himself to capture the thief who assassinated the governor, and he didn't even mention the matter of the Yellow Book, and Lu Qingzhi's heart gradually relaxed.
Instead, I began to think about how to explain the assassination.
The governor was assassinated at the post station, Lu Qingzhi didn't know about it beforehand, if he knew, he would never do such a stupid thing.
You know, that's a governor!
The official sent by the imperial court, he was assassinated in Yangzhou City, which is simply a slap in the face of the imperial court!
Lu Qingzhi even thought about investigating the case thoroughly and finding out that bold bastard.
But in the end, he still didn't act, not because of anything else, but because the person behind him spoke, and the case was all pushed on the bandits!
Lu Qingzhi didn't know why the guy behind him wanted to protect such a nonsense guy, but he knew that his net worth and life were tied to that person's hands, especially at this critical time, he must not offend that person.
It's just that......
Lu Qingzhi didn't believe it when he thought about it, how could there be so-called bandits in this prosperous Yangzhou City.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still believed his own words seriously, and urged himself to capture this group of "bandits" every day, God knows where he went to find such a group of daring bandits!
was in distress, but saw a small official stumbling in and said.
"Big ...... My lord, too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down! ”
"What, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Come with the house to meet you! ”
In front of the government office.
When Lu Qingzhi came out of the house, he knew why the little official who came to report the news was so panicked.
Originally, the front of the government office has always been a clean place, although it is very wide, but the common people walk around, and few dare to approach, but now in front of the government office, it is full of parking.
All the officials in the government were already waiting at the door, and in addition to them, there were countless people.
It was still a wide area, but it was a clearing forcibly blocked by the accompanying sergeants, and outside the clearing, there were dense onlookers.
Zhu Changluo was dressed in a big red wide-sleeved round-necked robe, embroidered with a dragon, wearing a black gauze winged crown, and a long jade body.
Behind him, with a scarlet robe and black yarn, with a majestic and heavy temperament, it was Liu Yuanlin, the governor of Zhejiang.
But these were not enough to surprise Lu Qingzhi, what really surprised him was that looking back, the two young officials dressed in the deer pig supplement suit suddenly made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Lu Qingzhi, the prefect of Yangzhou, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and has seen the governor!"
But in any case, under this kind of scene, Lu Qingzhi didn't dare to delay, so he had to bring a group of officials to come forward to salute.
"Governor Lu, please get up, don't hide it from the prefect, this palace is here to look at the yellow book of Yangzhou Mansion for ten years, I don't know which adult is in charge of the yellow book?"
Zhu Changluo didn't talk nonsense, cut straight to the point, and asked.
In a higher government like Yangzhou Mansion, the prefect is in charge of a government administration, but there will be a number of second officials in charge of general affairs, and Zhu Changluo saw that among the officials who came out to greet him, there were three or four officials in Yangzhou Mansion.
"This ...... Your Highness, the weather is hot, do you want to enter the government first and then ......"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Qingzhi's forehead for a moment, and his heart really came, looking at this posture, how to deal with it?
I wanted to delay for a while, but before I finished speaking, someone behind Zhu Changluo shouted.
"Presumptuous, Your Highness asks, you just have to answer truthfully!"
This person is tall and does not wear an ordinary official robe, but the python robe on his body is very eye-catching, and it is Liang Yong, the commander of Dongchang who came with him.
"Back to ...... Back to His Royal Highness, it's Lu Tongzhi! ”
The sweat on Lu Qingzhi's forehead became more and more, his body trembled slightly, and he stammered.
"Chen, Yangzhou Mansion and Lu Shancai see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
As soon as the words fell, an old man with a white beard behind Lu Qingzhi took two steps forward and said nervously.
"Lu Tongzhi?"
Zhu Changluo glanced at it, as if he was talking to himself.
But the old man didn't dare to slack off, and said busily.
"The minister is here!"
"A few days ago, the palace received a report that someone in Yangzhou Mansion deceived the upper and lower levels, deceived the imperial court, forged yellow books, ran rampant, and indiscriminately conscripted labor, I don't know that Lu Zhifu and Lu Tongzhi knew about this, what is the explanation for this?"
The corners of Zhu Changluo's mouth hooked up a sneer, and his expression was cold.
"This ...... This ......"
Lu Tongzhi's face suddenly tightened, sweat slowly came out, and he couldn't stop glancing at Lu Qingzhi, but he stammered and couldn't speak.
"Your Highness, this is all nonsense! Ministers are officials of the imperial court, how can they do such filthy things! ”
However, Lu Qingzhi had been prepared early, and said with a serious expression.
"When did this palace say that this forged yellow book was made by Governor Lu?"
Zhu Changluo's face turned cold and asked.
Immediately, Lu Qingzhi's face froze, and he said after a while.
"Your Highness, as the prefect of Yangzhou, the Yellow Book is an important task of the country, how can you not know? Someone must have framed him, please check it out! ”
Zhu Changluo had no intention of playing these word games with him, so he waved his hand.
"So, is Governor Lu sure that the yellow books of Yangzhou Mansion are registered in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court?"
"This ......"
Lu Qingyi was speechless, how should he answer.
If the answer is not sure, Fang Cai's words are not a slap in the mouth, but if they are carried to the end...... What is the yellow book of Yangzhou Mansion, he knows very well in his heart, looking at the posture of this highness, I am afraid that he will not give up today, if he finds out......
However, the current situation did not allow Lu Qingzhi to hesitate, and after just a moment, he nodded heavily and said.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister dares to guarantee that the yellow book of Yangzhou Mansion has been registered in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court since the day the minister took office!"
This sentence is a play on words, since the day Lu Qingzhi took office, that is to say, before he arrived, whether there was a problem with this yellow book or not had nothing to do with him.
As far as Zhu Changluo knows, although it is said that each county must submit the status of the registered population to the government every year, the yellow book at the prefecture level, like the one sent to the imperial court, is registered once every ten years.
A year before Lu Qingzhi took office, Yangzhou Mansion had just made a register, and this person would shirk his responsibility!
However, Zhu Changluo didn't care, and glanced at the faces of the people on the side, Zhu Changluo said lightly.
"In this case, Governor Lu must not be afraid of checking! Then please ask Governor Lu and Lu Tongzhi to rest for a few days, and the imperial history brought by the palace will be checked and the yellow book will be served! ”
After that, Zhu Changluo ignored Lu Qingzhi, whose face suddenly turned pale, and turned his voice to his voice.
"From now on, Zhang Bang publicized the imperial court's yellow book of conscription, and ordered a special person to explain to the people that all of you present, including all the people in Yangzhou City, if anyone finds that the government has violated the rules of the imperial court, they can come to the government to complain, and the palace will make decisions for everyone!"
