Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter Seventy-Five: Seeking a Pleasure
If he could get rid of it, Zhu Yuanzhang would not sigh in his later years, why can't corrupt officials be killed.
But he never thought that no matter how frugal he was, he couldn't stop the extravagance of his children and grandchildren, and he probably didn't want to stop it.
He doesn't care about his own family, this world is so big, how can he really be as he thinks, even if he is an emperor, what can he do?
Those who have been diligent for decades without a day of rest have just died at home.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen suddenly stopped thinking, his emperor was given by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, his idea was very dangerous, and he almost denied himself.
Zhu Qizhen! You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! It is the descendant of the Zhu family!
No one is perfect, an ancient emperor who expelled the Tartars and restored China, how can you put the magnifying glass on the shortcomings?
Zhu Qizhen shook his head vigorously, Guo Mao thought that the emperor was bitten by mosquitoes, so he hurriedly took out a pu fan and fanned the wind beside him.
"Where did the mosquitoes come from such a strong wind, drink and go." Zhu Qizhen glanced at Guo Mao.
Geng Jiuchou sat on the chair of the political envoy at this time, looking at the case file in his hand by dim candlelight, surrounded by mountains of documents.
At this time, there were few people in the lobby, Zeng Hui and Yin Bo were on the left hand side of Geng Jiuchou, Li Xian, Wang Hong and Shang Zhi were postponed, Dong Xing and Meng Jian sat on the right side with the deputy general Ma Shi, and there were only eight people in the huge room.
And on the table in front of everyone are piles of documents and files, this is all the people of the three divisions in Guangzhou today, and the only ones who are okay are some small officials who are not even officials.
After reading the information of one person, Geng Jiuchou rubbed the bridge of his sour nose and sighed.
"It's abrupt, you should persuade the emperor to leave a group of people to work first, and then deal with it after the personnel are in place, so that Yuan De and Hongzai can also follow the emperor to serve."
Li Xianshang glanced at each other, and his mouth pouted into the sky.
Didn't you let the emperor make the decision at that time? I also dragged the two of us to stay in Guangdong, and now I feel that I regret the heavy workload.
In case the emperor can't remember that there is a person like us, he will really stay here to drink soup with you in the future.
And there are hundreds of prisoners in that prison who are still locked up! Knowing what you say, I have to tear your heart for life.
Li Xian gave Geng Jiuchou a step, and then said: "Lord Fantai also knows the emperor's temperament, and he never rubs sand in his eyes.
As a courtier, you naturally have to share your worries for your father, and this is all due to it! You are now the governor of a province, you must take care of your health! ”
"Yes, yes!" Shang Zhi agreed.
Geng Jiuchou was noncommittal, and looked at Ma Shi, this was Dong Xing from the capital
Come here, and the astronomers who specialize in helping themselves out of thieves.
Today, Zhu Qizhen had to set off at night, and it was also through the endorsement of this great god, saying that in the past few days, the weather has been very good, suitable for navigation, and it is enough to take a boat to Qiongzhou by sea.
Geng Jiuchou was not at ease and asked, "Deputy General Ma, is the weather really okay?" ”
Ma Shi raised his head helplessly, gave Geng Jiuchou a reassuring look, and then continued to sort out the dossier in his hand.
Geng Jiuchou's expression relaxed slightly, and then he suddenly remembered something, and quickly walked out of the hall, and came in with a few kitchen guys after a while.
"Forget it, everyone, come and eat!"
Geng Jiuchou said, personally brought the bowl to a few people, everyone stopped their work, vacated a vacant seat, and took the bowl that was already cold, and the room was full of aroma for a while.
Geng Jiuchou also returned to his position, and the first thing he said when he sat down was: "Yuan Dehongzai, I can't let you get drunk this time, and I will make it up to you in the future." ”
The originally serious and oppressive atmosphere in the room suddenly melted, and bursts of laughter were heard.
Canghai laughed
The tide on both sides of the strait
Ups and downs follow the waves, remembering the present
The sky laughs
The tide of the world
Who loses and who wins, God knows
The country is smiling, and the rain is far away
The waves are exhausted, and the red dust knows how much the world
The breeze laughed and was lonely
There is still a pride left in the evening photo
Cangsheng laughs and is no longer lonely
Pride is still smiling"
After singing the song, the song went away with the waves, the wine glass in Zhu Qizhen's hand shook, the wine spilled into the river and the sea, and merged into the rolling waves, leaving only a trace of fragrance on the tip of his nose.
"Drink!" Zhu Qizhen poured another glass of wine and raised it, waking up the four people who were drunk.
"Slave damn it, it's really so good that the son sings!" Jin Qi came back to his senses and confessed.
Guo Mao and Fan Zhong nodded thoughtfully, and the sound of singing seemed to echo in their ears again, and even Xiong Zongli, who had never been able to speak, hummed softly.
"The sound of heaven, Childe! Your attainments are even higher than those of the palace musicians, and this ability to compose lyrics and music is probably only comparable to Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty. Xiong Zongli praised after tasting it repeatedly.
Suddenly, Guo Mao and Fan Zhong nodded their heads wildly, for fear that Zhu Qizhen would not see them and like them very much.
"Childe, does this piece have a name?" Jin Qi asked.
Zhu Qizhen's face was flushed, and he was a little embarrassed to use other people's songs, but this voice is much stronger than his own, and he sings with his own charm.
"A Laugh in the Sea"" The four of them read silently, and they all felt that the name was good.
After singing a song, Zhu Qizhen's thoughts finally cleared up, and he didn't do anything wrong, so letting those people continue to do it is really better than arresting them?
In the past, the imperial court always said that the people were suffering, but this time they will suffer these capable ministers and let them work overtime.
"Guo Mao, has the situation been reported back to the capital?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"It has been sent back to Jingshi, and there will be a reply in three or two days. However, the manpower has been left to Master Geng, I am still afraid that the defense force around you is too weak, why don't you let Lao Zhang and the others come back first? Guo Mao persuaded.
Zhu Qizhen was afraid that Geng Jiuchou would not be able to keep busy, so he deliberately left Jinyi Wei to help, so that it was convenient to continue to find the assassin's traces.
"Aren't you two here? I'm not afraid, what are you two afraid of? Besides, if you really come, it will just solve the doubts in your heart, and you don't have to guard against thieves the day before yesterday. ”
Zhu Qizhen drank all the water and wine in his hand, but now the distillation technique is not good, the degree is too low, and it is far less powerful than the spirits of later generations.
The four of them were helpless, no one could change what the emperor decided, so they could only drink together, and the sea breeze was refreshing, and they left their troubles behind while drinking a little wine.
Zhu Qizhen and a few people drank beautifully, and here Lao Zhang and Li Jian were still fighting at night, and in front of them was the bearded man who dared to stab Zhu Qizhen.
At present, all the methods of Jinyi Wei interrogators have been used, including but not limited to: tiger chairs, soldering irons, and iron brushes.
But now that people have one breath left, they still insist that the death of Huang Xiaoyang and Zhang An has nothing to do with him, and they insist that several people died on the battlefield when they were fighting thieves.
The two of them were helpless, and if they still said this in this situation, they could only think that he was telling the truth.
Out of the execution room, Lin Fu was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw the two of them shaking their heads, he said: "Several other people also bit An Xiangbo's death has nothing to do with them, I think it should be the truth." Now it seems that either there were other horses at that time, or it can only be said that Huang Xiao is too good at fighting and uses soldiers like a god, and can kill An Xiangbo head-on on the battlefield. ”
Lin Fu didn't have an accident, even Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that it was really not easy to be able to be alone in this environment and restrain his subordinates, although the crime of negligence was inevitable, Zhu Qizhen didn't pick a bone in the egg, but just punished Lin Fu for his crimes.
"I want to hurry up and tell the Holy Lord, I must be more careful when I go to Qiongzhou." Lin Fu said worriedly.
The three of them left the prison, and from time to time there were a few painful moans in the dark cell, as if they wanted to beg for a good time.
