Liu Lian scratched his head and smiled, lowered his head, and did not speak, Liu Bowen continued:

"If Your Majesty lets everyone go, how can you highlight the power of the Son of Heaven, and how can you control the ministers?"

"You, when will I be able to save my heart!"

"Think more about yourself when you encounter problems in the future, and don't always ask others."

Liu Lian nodded with a smile and said:

"Got it, father."

The heavy snow stopped, but the sky in Yingtianfu was still gloomy, suppressing people's breathlessness.

The glazed tiles outside the Qianning Palace were inlaid with silver-white snowflakes, and the Praetorian Guards outside the palace rubbed their hands with cold air.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong were sitting around the stove in the palace.

Queen Ma didn't dare to take her eyes off her son, and kept caring for this unrecognizable son.

马queen says:

"Let's let the child suffer, this child's life is miserable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Tong, feeling very uncomfortable, and then said:

"Child, let's start the morning court tomorrow, you can come too!"

Zhu Tong was puzzled for a while, but he didn't say anything, and nodded in response.

Thinking that his home was still a mess, and many things needed to be handled by himself, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, the minister's salt farm was smashed, the laborers at home were also injured, and my sister is still waiting for the minister at home."

"I need to go back early and clean up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the salt farm that his son worked so hard to build was destroyed, and it cost money to repair it, so we can't let him suffer.

Then he said:

"Biao'er, you go and help your eldest brother repair the house, salt works, etc."

"It's the father, and the son obeys the order."

Zhu Biao said that he and Zhu Tong left Qianning Palace together and rushed home.

Queen Ma looked at the back of her son leaving, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Chongba, our son's life is really miserable, and we haven't fulfilled our responsibilities as a mother."

"Sister, don't worry, we will definitely give Tong'er a good errand, so that he will have some authority first so that others will not look down on him."

"Anyone dares to bully him, it's too unusual."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

......

The night of Yingtianfu is gradually coming, but the night is not so dark under the light of snow.

It can be said that the white snowy night makes Ying Tianfu a mixture of black and white, and the top is gradually darkening black.

Below was a harsh white, dim and gloomy, with a feeling of suffocation, suppressed in the air.

The night grew deeper and deeper, to the point where the fingers were missing, and the snow began to melt quietly, with the sound of a little blow, very crisp.

After a while, the sun rose a little in the east, and the gloomy sky gradually faded, and the blue began to gradually appear.

The Fengtian Temple had already prepared everything, and incense was wrapped around the main hall.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly opened the door of the main hall, and a large number of officials entered the Fengtian Hall one after another.

At this time, Liu Bowen vaguely noticed a familiar face, walking at the end of the line.

"Brother Berwyn, don't come unharmed!"

"What are you looking at?"

Li Shanchang said and looked in the direction of Liu Bowen.

"What, does Brother Berwyn have any opinion of this little Langjun?"

"Hahaha, Brother Li Shan, don't always be like this, just take a casual look at it."

Liu Bowen said.

Li Shanchang forcibly pulled his cheek and smiled, and continued to walk forward.

All the officials entered the hall, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not come, and everyone began to discuss the current affairs of the day.

"What's the matter with His Majesty's meeting this morning?"

"It should be related to a series of cases in recent days!"

"Anyway, why is there that Langzhong Zhu Tong every time there is a case."

"You can be cautious when you speak, this little Langjun's background is not simple, every time His Majesty is extremely fond of him, be careful of offending people who shouldn't be offended."

"Look, isn't that Zhu Tong!"

A servant pointed to the side and said.

Due to the loud voice, everyone looked at Zhu Tong in an instant and looked carefully.

However, Xu Da, Tang He and Liu Bowen were unusually calm, standing in place as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

After the bloody rain in the past few days, most of the officials can see that the future of this rookie is immeasurable.

Everyone commented:

"Your Majesty really has a good eye, this little Langjun is a rare talent in a hundred years at a glance."

"Xiao Langjun is good, dignified!"

"It has to be a young man, shrewd and capable, look at Ouyang Lun's case, this Xiao Langjun can be said to have contributed a lot."

"It is indeed a minister who seeks the country, and His Majesty knows how to make good use of it"

......

Zhu Tong was a little uncomfortable for a while, and then turned his body around.

Why did Your Majesty let me come to the court?

I don't have a specific position, and I don't have anything to do......

It's better to finish early and go home for dinner, and I haven't even eaten a bite in the morning.

"The emperor has arrived!"

The eunuch shouted sharply.

All the officials knelt down in unison and saluted:

"Greetings!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked from the side hall, wearing a red dragon robe with a breeze.

"Let's get up, we have something to tell you today."

As he spoke, he sat down on the dragon chair.

Everyone got up one after another, and Li Shanchang took the lead in getting up and asked:

"Dare to ask the superior, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly:

"The left waiter of the Criminal Department, Wang Si, has returned to his hometown, and now you have a suitable candidate for this vacancy?"

Li Shanchang thought for a moment and then said:

"Eh, what do you think of the right waiter Zhang Maozhi?"

"Zhang Maozhi has been in the Criminal Department for five years, and according to the practice of the previous dynasty, the right attendant should replace the vacancy."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and did not answer, but Liu Bowen stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately came and asked with interest:

"Berwyn, tell me about it."

"The minister thinks that Zhang Maozhi is more stubborn, he can't listen to the advice of others, and it is often difficult to distinguish loyalty and treachery in judging cases.

"But it's not suitable for high positions."

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of appreciation when he heard this, thinking that what Liu Bowen said was reasonable and well-founded, and he was in line with his own mind, so he immediately said:

"Berwyn has a point, then you have a recommended manpower."

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen think about it."

Liu Bowen said.

"Do you have any other candidates?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Lu Dian, the secretary of the ministry, stepped forward and replied:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Yanting, a member of the Criminal Department, can take on this important responsibility, and Zhao Yanting has been in charge of the revision of the laws of the Criminal Department for many years."

Li Shanchang nodded slightly in agreement.

At this time, Liu Bowen didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, and said directly:

"Your Majesty, by all means, Zhao Yanting is old, more than steady, but not courageous, if he stays like this, it will cause the case to drag on and be complicated."

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy again, but he twisted his heart and said:

"Zhao Yanting can't do it!"

"Your Majesty, what about Jiang Shixian?"

Li Shanchang asked again.

Liu Bowen shook his head and did not answer.

"Wu Qingnan?"

"No way!"

"Liu Bowen, you said that you are a personal candidate!"

Li Shanchang was extremely stunned for a while, and said in a raised voice, slightly angry.

"The good chief is right, Berwyn, you said the candidate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also took the opportunity to ask Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen paused and said:

"Zhu Tong!"
