How could Huang Yan not be clear about this truth.

But now the facts are in front of us, and this lake is right in front of you.....

Could it be that it was done by man?

However, when Huang Yan looked up at the area of the lake again, he couldn't help but shake his head.

How can it be.....

Such a large lake is not humanly possible.

At this thought, although Huang Yan was still puzzled by the formation of this lake, he was not as surprised as he was at the beginning.

After all, there are many bizarre things in this world, and not all of them can be traced to the cause.

However, as they continued their horseback along the way towards the so-called mining area, a long river began to appear before them.

As he got closer and closer, Huang Yan suddenly understood why the lake appeared.

It was a river that ran from north to south, and where it was connected, was the lake they had just seen!

And the materials used in this river are exactly the same as the hard roads that they stepped on when they came!

For a while, Huang Yan was shocked.

That lake is really done by man!

Although it is located on the outskirts of Beijing, it is also an inland area, and in the absence of a tributary of the Yangtze River, the water is drawn in the same way as other inland cities that have no water source at all.

And such a large amount of water intake......

Could it be that it can't be.... A terrible thought crossed his mind.

Although this place is located in the area along the Yangtze River, it is still far away from the river, how far should this river be built.....

If it's really done by man, I don't know how much it will cost.

But in the imperial court, he had never heard of such a river being built.

Thinking of these, if it weren't for the fact that he still had important tasks at this time, he Huang Yan couldn't wait to hurry up and go to the source of this river to take a look now.

But now, I can only suppress these thoughts in my heart for the time being.

As the group continued to move forward on the hard road, the things that had been seen on the hillside before that divided the land also appeared in front of them.

These are also made of the same material as the hard road, and these things that divide the area are not paintings by gods, but small canals.

These small aqueducts divide the wasteland into large areas, and in each of them there is a clear gap, which is now blocked by a large iron sheet, and does not allow the water from these small aqueducts to flow into it.

If it's just a small piece of it, that's it.

However, when he looked up the hillside before, what he saw was endless.

As the supervisor of Dongchang, Huang Yan did his best to make himself appear less shocked.

"Let's go, keep going."

As the group set off again, this time it didn't take long for them to meet another group of people.

After approaching each other, Huang Yan on horseback hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and shouted respectfully to the oncoming people: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun!" ”

Accompanied by a group of people on the other side, Zhu Zhan looked at Huang Yan solemnly between his eyebrows and asked, "Father-in-law Huang, what are you doing here?" ”

Huang Yan hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, the emperor has an order to order Weichen to invite His Royal Highness to come over." ”

Hearing that it was the old man looking for him, Zhu Zhanyong's eyebrows became more and more solemn.

After thinking about it, he nodded, and after whispering some words to the people around him, he returned to the palace of the capital with Na Huang Yan.

It's just that this time, when they rushed back to the capital, the sky was already dark.

When I arrived in the Qianqing Palace, the candles were already lit in the palace.

Zhu Di, who was wearing a loose cotton and linen robe, walked slowly in the hall.

In this inner sanctum, he had been waiting for a day.

I thought I wouldn't be back today, but I didn't think that I had just received a letter from Huang Yan's order, saying that it would arrive in a quarter of an hour.

Just as Zhu Di was anxiously waiting.

Zhu Zhanyong and Huang Yan have returned to the city tower in the capital.

After identifying themselves and showing the token of the East Factory, the general defending the city let them in.

Walking through the avenue of the capital, because it is not far from the palace, everyone is not so anxious at this time.

As the speed slowed down, Zhu Zhanyong had the opportunity to test the tone and asked, "Gonggong Huang, you said that you are in such a hurry to find me, is there something important about the old man?" I have no official position, and I don't remember anything I need to ask the old man about. ”

In the face of Zhu Zhanyong's temptation, Huang Yan did not pretend to be a lake, but directly apologized: "Your Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun, this matter is related to the emperor, please forgive the ministers for not being able to tell them directly, if Your Highness has any questions, it is better to wait until the palace to ask the emperor in person." ”

Seeing that Huang Yan didn't show his tone at all, Zhu Zhanyong could only shrug helplessly.

There's no way, who made him an unofficial, unpositional, and mediocre little emperor.

is the one in front of him, but he is also a powerful figure in the court, don't look at a highness in front of you, a minister.....

With the other party's ability, if it weren't for the existence of the old man and his father Zhu Gaochi, I am afraid that he would be able to kill him with his fingers.

In this case, he can ask the other party to reveal something to himself without authorization.

However, Zhu Zhanyong was also used to this, and he never asked anything until he arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace in the palace.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhao Quan hurriedly came to the door of the inner hall and reported to Zhu Diyu inside: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun has come down." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's body froze, and he suddenly said, "Call in." ”

"Yes!"

Outside the hall, Zhu Zhanyong observed the surrounding scenes in the hall with some apprehension.

To be honest, he doesn't really come here very often.

In this family, that is, his father Zhu Gaochi, second uncle Zhu Gaochu and third uncle Zhu Gaosui came here as if they were visiting the door, and as for their grandson's generation, only his eldest brother could come here from time to time to meet the old man.

As for these royal grandsons, they have no official position, let alone any official business, where can they come here every day.

So it's a bit of a stressful time.

Even if he knew that the person in it was his grandfather, he was the emperor after all.....

In addition, the old man's impression among these imperial grandchildren has always been extremely strict, no matter which child it is, no one is afraid.

"Your Highness, the emperor wants you to go in."

Zhao Quan came to Zhu Zhanyong and said.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong could only nod and walked into the palace with Zhao Quan and Zhao Gonggong.

At this time, it was dark in this huge Qianqing Palace, that is, some lanterns and candles along the road illuminated the place where they walked.

However, this is the outer sanctum.

At this time, the inner sanctum is brighter.

Through the curtain hanging at the entrance of the old man's inner hall, you can still see that the old man is sitting on the chair that handles government affairs on weekdays.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyong bowed his head and said, "Grandson Zhu Zhanyong, ask Shenggong'an!." ”

Listening to the voice outside, the old man Zhu Di inside said casually: "Zhen'an, come in." ”

As Zhu Zhanyong walked in, there were only him, the old man, and the three of Huang Yan in the entire Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Zhanyong came to the front of the old man, kneeling down and waiting for the old man's question, Huang Yan, who returned with him, muttered in the ear of the old man Zhu Di.

Because of the distance, although Zhu Zhanyong heard some whispering, he couldn't hear what he said.

And Zhu Di on the dragon chair, his originally calm face was also wrinkled together after hearing what Huang Yan said.

Especially when Huang Yan said more and more, the old man's brows became heavier.

It wasn't until Huang Yan finished saying everything he knew that the old man frowned and waved his hand to send him away.

With the departure of Huang Yan, only Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanyong were left in the entire hall.

In addition, at this time, the hall is not as bright as the day, which always makes people feel a little nervous and unable to relax.

That Zhu Zhanyong is even more so at this moment, that Huang Yan has been muttering in the old man's ear for a long time, but he doesn't even know what he said.

That Huang Yan saw the divided land and small canals, which Zhu Zhanyong naturally knew in his heart, but if it was just these, he was not afraid.

I just don't know what else Huang Yan knows, such as whether he saw the reservoir or not, and whether he found that the reservoir was man-made.

And his own house......

In short, at this moment, Zhu Zhanyong's heart was full of clues, and he couldn't come up with an idea, and he didn't know how to answer when the old man asked for a while.

And Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at his grandson kneeling below, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

He Zhu Di knows a lot about this grandson, and this child is afraid of himself.....

After knowing this, Zhu Di simply didn't rush to ask, just sat on the dragon chair and looked at the fold, hung the kid aside, didn't speak, let the kid kneel underneath, and secretly pondered by himself.

As the old man Zhu Di guessed, Zhu Zhanyong is really afraid of his old man, it is okay during the day, and this is the first time to see the old man in this situation.

I don't know what the old man wants to ask himself, and he really beats the drum in his heart.

Thinking about why the old man didn't speak.

The old man didn't speak for a minute, which was a minute of torment for him Zhu Zhanyong.

Just when the old man in the Qianqing Palace was deliberately hanging his grandson, letting him break his own psychological defense.

didn't know that a brocade guard sneaked out from the back door of the prince's mansion.

At the same time, with the departure of this brocade guard, all the brocade guards in the capital began to assemble rapidly.

There are more than a dozen different excerpts, which record different names, and these are the people they want to arrest overnight.

Under Zhu Zhanji's order, headed by Ji Gang, the commanders of the North and South Zhenfu Divisions led their respective teams and began to arrest those corrupt officials who had solid evidence in accordance with Zhu Zhanji's instructions.

There are more than a dozen excerpts, each of which records dozens or hundreds of officials, from courtiers standing above the court to a county official in Yingtianfu.

According to Zhu Zhanji's order, the tigers and flies were swatted together to completely purify the air in the entire Yingtianfu.

In the past few decades, since the grandfather's death, the mud that has accumulated in the court has been thoroughly cleaned up.

Just like the silt in a river, it does continue to appear after it is removed, but that doesn't mean it can't be removed.

However, this time the action happened very suddenly, even Qi Cheng of the North Town Fusi did not expect that even he was woken up in the bed.

However, after he was clear about the plan this time, he immediately ordered people to go to the palace and report the actions of the Jinyi Guard to Zhu Di.

This is also what the emperor personally explained when he left the palace before.

In the Qianqing Palace.

After hanging his grandson there and torturing him for about a quarter of an hour, Zhu Di finished disposing of the piece in his hand, and then remembered that there was a person kneeling in front of him.

Looking at his grandson, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and while the corners of Zhu Di's mouth were slightly upturned, he also deliberately asked in a calm voice: "Explain it." ”

Suddenly hearing the old man's voice, Zhu Zhanyong, whose legs were hurting from kneeling below, looked stunned, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth.

Explain......

Explain what, you're making a start.

But he could only mutter two words in his heart, and he would never dare to say it in front of the old man.

But after thinking about it, I really didn't know what to say, so I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, what do you want your grandson to explain?" ”

As Zhu Zhanyong said this, the old man suddenly slapped the table and said, "What do you want to tell you?" ”

At this time, Zhu Zhanyong simply wanted to cry without tears.

He is so dignified, he will not even stay in the capital for long, what can he explain......

Just when Zhu Zhanyong was at a loss, the old man in front of him, Zhu Di, suddenly said: "Do you still need to tell you about the things you and your eldest brother did in private?" ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, Zhu Zhanyong's heart suddenly tightened.

Old man.... Really got it?

But now, even if he knows what the old man wants him to explain, he still doesn't know what to say.

There are a lot of things that he and his eldest brother are planning in private, which one is this old man asking to explain?

Is it the canal that Huang Yan sees today, or is it the reservoir, or whatever?

For a while, the sweat on Zhu Zhanyong's forehead bubbled out as if he didn't want money.

It's not that he doesn't dare to say these things, but he promised his eldest brother before that these things must not be known by the old man or even his father and his mother.

The attitude towards this matter is unprecedented respect for the eldest brother.

Although he, Zhu Zhanyong, is used to giggling on weekdays, he has not dropped the chain in business.

In addition, it is also a matter of trust between him and his eldest brother.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Zhanyong still stiffened his neck and said, "Grandpa, my grandson really doesn't know what to explain, me and my eldest brother?" I didn't do anything with my eldest brother, did I? ”

Listening to Zhu Zhanyong's reply, a look of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

I didn't expect this grandson, who usually seems to be submissive, only knows giggling, and has no bones on his body, to really bite his mouth in this situation.

He hung it for a quarter of an hour, and he really didn't say anything.

In such a situation, not to mention him, an inconspicuous emperor and grandson on weekdays, even many ministers who have experienced a lot of things in the court do not have this courage in front of themselves, and they will not perform better than this kid.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di no longer lied to him, but asked directly: "Grandpa asked you, I heard that the 100,000 taels of silver that your second uncle and third uncle handed over to your eldest brother before were all transported away by you, where did you use all this silver?" ”

Hearing the old man ask such words, Zhu Zhanyong gradually understood something.

The old man should be playing with the vine......

Thinking of this, when Zhu Zhanyong replied again, he calmed down: "Grandpa, the silver that the eldest brother gave to his grandson, the grandson used it to help some hungry refugees. ”

Hearing that this kid was lying in front of him, Zhu Di suddenly became angry and said, "Fart!" Naturally, the hungry refugees are solved by the imperial court, and the eldest brother is now in prison, so he can allocate some silver, why do you need to pit your second and third uncle's silver? ”

"Boy, grandpa will give you another chance, don't think that grandpa won't punish you, this matter is related to national politics, even if your father is here, grandpa should be punished!"

The old man's words made Zhu Zhanyong extremely helpless.

He thought .....

He never thought that the old man would not punish him.

But the eldest brother explained his things, can these be said?

No.

But what to do?

In this short period of time, Zhu Zhanyong, this kid, went through everything that happened today in his mind.

Thinking about it, there are only two things that can be known by the old man, the first is the use of the silver that the old man just said, and the second is the canals that Huang Yan passed through when he went to find himself today.

The only thing that is uncertain now is what Huang Yan, the factory supervisor of the East Factory, has seen everywhere?

Anyway, he can't hide today, with the attitude of the old man, if he doesn't say one, two, three today, it will be impossible for him to get out of this Qianqing Palace.

Come to think of it. Zhu Zhanyong had no choice but to pretend to be frightened, bowed to the old man, and said, "Grandpa.... Sun Er really didn't do anything with his eldest brother in private, that is, we spent some silver to divert the water source of the Yangtze River to the outskirts of Beijing. However, grandpa, we are not doing this for ourselves, we have never cultivated any of that land, and now it is all wasteland. ”

"And doing this is nothing more than trying to see if we can convert these abandoned lands into fertile fields for growing rice, and if we can do it, we can promote it in the imperial court and increase the number of countless fertile fields for the entire Yingtianfu and even the entire Nanzhili."

Listening to these things explained by Zhu Zhanyong, the anger in Zhu Di's heart gradually subsided.

Because what he said is still in line with what Huang Yan explained just now.

"What else?"

Regarding the matter that Zhu Zhanyong just explained, Zhu Di did not study it in detail, but continued to ask.

And when he heard the old man's words, Zhu Zhanyong's heart also sank.

The old man didn't ask about the canal, presumably he heard some information from the mouth of the yellow man, and he continued to ask, and his attitude was resolute and firm.

Apparently he knew in his heart that there was something else he hadn't said besides the canal.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyong didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and directly said about the reservoir.

The old man had heard about this reservoir in Zhu Zhanji's mouth before, but he used it to control the water at the beginning.

While pondering this reservoir in his heart, the old man was obviously not satisfied with what he just heard, and he wanted to hear more things from Zhu Zhanyong's mouth, so he asked again: "What else, don't ask me to ask little by little, dare to hide something, grandpa will lock you up for a month first, and then see if you dare to hide it." ”

Hearing that the old man was going to lock him up, Zhu Zhanyong suddenly cried with a sad face, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, no, the grandson who should be said has been said, how can there be anything else, my eldest brother has given a total of so much silver back and forth, how many things do you want your grandson to do......."

Looking at Zhu Zhanyong's face full of tears and tears, Zhu Di was really fooled by him for a while.

But think about it carefully, what the kid said is right, there is a total of so much silver before and after, and there is no silver transfer from the imperial court, and the prince's mansion is even poorer, how much money his son has, he Zhu Di still knows.

In that case, how much money can these two boys get?

Even if these two boys have the ability to get another Yangtze River out, they have to have silver.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di didn't delve deeper, but turned his head and asked: "The Yangtze River is far away from the suburbs of Beijing, how did you bring the river water over?" ”

Zhu Zhanyong saw that the old man didn't ask any more questions, and he was also relieved in his heart.

As for the matter of drinking water, it will no longer be hidden, since the old man knows it, it is useless to conceal it.

"Grandpa, in fact, this matter is very simple, that is, my eldest brother accidentally found some special materials that can be used to lay the river, and these materials will not break like ordinary soil after laying the river. So I thought about giving it a try in the suburbs of Beijing, if it can't be done, it will be nothing more than a loss of silver, but if it is done, it will be able to transform the area on the outskirts of Beijing that was not suitable for planting rice into an acre of fertile land. ”

"The eldest brother said, grandpa, you are worried about the government of the court on weekdays, and as a grandson, you always have to think about it for grandpa."

Zhu Zhanyong said flatteringly with a smiling face.

As for this, it was really not Zhu Zhanji who said it.

It's completely made up by this kid on the spot, as for whether this sycophant is right or not, it has nothing to do with him Zhu Zhanyong.

If you shoot it right, you can say something good to your eldest brother, and you can feel better at this time, if you shoot it wrong, it is also what your eldest brother said, and it has nothing to do with him Zhu Zhanyong.

And after the old man heard Zhu Zhanyong's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his originally tense face.

"The boy said that? Can your eldest brother have this mind? ”

For his eldest grandson, Zhu Di is still very clear.

As long as that kid can think a little about his grandfather, the spread of the land into the mu, the official gentry to pay the grain, the fire consumption to the public, and the order to pay the fields, he will not say it when he forces him to come over every day to personally teach and handle government affairs.

As long as you leave him a little room in front of that kid, he will definitely go into that little space.

The head is not brought back.

But Zhu Zhanyong is also his grandson after all, and this grandson patted his grandfather's sycophants, and he Zhu Di was still very happy.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, although your kid didn't do anything shady behind your grandfather's back and your eldest brother in secret. But if there is such a thing in the future, you must tell your grandfather first, and you are not allowed to hide it in front of your grandfather, otherwise if your grandfather finds out, you will weigh the consequences yourself. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong hurriedly nodded desperately at his grandfather.

said solemnly: "Yes, yes, grandpa rest assured, in the future, grandpa will know everything about grandpa!" ”

Looking at this kid's flattering appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help but shake his head.

Judging from today's contact, this kid's temperament is not bad, although he is not as good as his eldest brother, but judging from the relationship between the two brothers, some things can still be handed over to him in the future.

In the future, when his eldest brother ascends to the throne, this kid can also help on the side.

And now, let him, the grandfather, cultivate first.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di had an idea in his heart.

But looking at the kid's anticipation, as if waiting for his expression to let him go, Zhu Di suddenly smiled at the kid.

"It's so late, so let you go back first?"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanyong suddenly nodded desperately.

But after Zhu Di smiled, he said, "Now let you go back and let you confess with your eldest brother?" ”

Zhu Zhanyong, who heard this, was stunned: "Grandpa...... The grandson will never say anything to the eldest brother! ”

I thought that the old man had believed in his 'loyalty', but he never thought that the old man had never thought about it at all.

"Okay, you still sleep in this palace tonight, tomorrow morning, take grandpa to see those canals you made, I want to see what is going on with what is going on with what your eldest brother is so carefully prepared and deliberately concealed from others."

Hearing that the old man was going to see it in person, Zhu Zhanyong's face changed instantly.

The reason why Huang Yan only saw those canals and reservoirs today was because he had not yet penetrated into the mining area and beyond.

But if the old man went to see it in person tomorrow, it wouldn't be as good as today.

At that time, all the things that his eldest brother asked him to prepare will be exposed.

At that time, his eldest brother didn't come to cut him with a knife?

Not only that, but I swore in front of the old man what I said just now, and I will know everything about the old man in the future.

How embarrassing it would be if this turn of head was punctured.

The old man doesn't know how to clean him up.

However, when Zhu Zhanyong wanted to say something, Zhu Di didn't give him any chance to refute.

"This matter is so decided, you will lead the way for grandpa early tomorrow morning!"

But just when Zhu Zhanyong was still desperately trying to say something, but Zhu Di just waved his hand to drive people away, Zhao Quan in the outer hall suddenly broke in.

Zhao Quan hurriedly came to the old man's side, and whispered in the old man's ear: "Your Majesty, Qi Cheng, the commander of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, sent a message that the entire Jinyi Wei was dispatched by His Royal Highness the eldest grandson tonight to temporarily start arresting all the big and small officials in the entire Yingtian Mansion. ”

The old man Zhu Di, who heard this, also changed his face, but since he was a corrupt official who had already found the evidence of the crime, he didn't resist much, but he still couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say how many officials are involved?" ”

Zhao Quan replied: "More than 600 people ....."

At this moment, even if Zhu Di, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, couldn't help but be shocked in the face of this amount.

More than 600 people.....

When it is full, there are only 1,188 officials in the capital. (According to the Ming Dynasty during the Taizu period, the supervision of the imperial history Yanzhong)

Although the arrest involved the entire Ying Tianfu, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, from Shangshu to miscellaneous positions, were only fourteen thousand two hundred and ninety-one.

If these more than 600 people are placed in the entire Ying Tianfu, it will also be a huge number.

As soon as these more than 600 people are arrested, his Ying Tianfu of the Ming Dynasty will not operate tomorrow?

Even if it is he, Zhu Di, who has to be completely prepared to arrest more than 600 people at once, he dares to do it, but this kid ......

If you say it, you can catch it, and you won't even say a word to his grandfather!

The entire court knows nothing about this matter, and it is conceivable that once this incident happens, what will happen to the court tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di suddenly asked, "What about the people of Jinyiwei?" ”

Zhao Quan replied: "I have all set off half an hour ago. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly said angrily: "Since they all set off half an hour ago, why hasn't this news come until now?" ”

Zhao Quan was yelled at by Zhu Di like this, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, this operation happened suddenly, and they didn't know what to do until all the people of Jinyi Wei arrived at the place, so they couldn't report it in advance." At the same time, the Jinyi Guard commanded Ji Gang, saying that according to the order of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, everyone supervised each other, and if there was anyone in the Jinyi Guard who delivered the news privately, they would all be killed on the spot, which would affect the nine clans. ”

"So even the commander of the North Town Fusi didn't dare to spread the news in a grand manner, so he could only find the right time after setting off and ordered a cronie to come to the palace to spread the word."

Hearing that these were all the ideas of his own little bastard, Zhu Di suddenly became angry.

But there is nothing to be done, now the people of Jinyiwei have been out for half an hour, and even if they send someone to chase them now, they can't catch up.

Besides, there are a large number of Jinyi Guards, and how many people does he need to send to notify all these Jinyi Guards.

If in the process of arresting these Jinyi guards, the people sent to notify them arrived, and then temporarily released these people according to his Zhu Di's orders.

Didn't he tell them in front of all the corrupt officials that Zhu Di, the emperor, would not dare to arrest them?

In this way, not only will he Zhu Di lose face, but the face of the entire Ming court will be gone.

The court law will also be empty.

There is no prestige at all.

Knowing these things, but he couldn't do anything, Zhu Di suddenly kicked the desk in front of him to the ground in anger.

"What about the little bastard?"

Zhao Quan said timidly: "His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is still sleeping in the prince's mansion. ”

Zhu Di, who heard this, was immediately laughed angrily.

This day was pierced by this kid, but he himself was still sleeping in the prince's mansion.

"Go, ...... that little bastard"

Zhu Di, who was about to order someone to arrest Zhu Zhanji's kid and teach him a lesson, stopped again as soon as he said this.

Even if he catches that little bastard at this moment, what can he say and do?

It's just a lesson for him, but what's the use of that kid?

Moreover, there is no room for remedy.

Zhu Di rubbed his forehead anxiously.

But now I can only take one step at a time.

Instead of calling that kid over tonight for a lesson, it doesn't hurt or itch. It's better to call that kid to the court tomorrow and let him bear the pressure of those ministers, at least let him learn a long lesson.

Let him face his own troubles and see how to deal with them.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di didn't think about anything anymore.

When he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanyong who was kneeling on the ground, his previous good mood was gone, and he scolded Zhu Zhanyong: "Look at the good things you did with your eldest brother!" ”

Hearing the old man's scolding, Zhu Zhanyong was really wronged.

Full of indignation: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

However, the old man didn't pay any attention to the wronged look on his grandson Zhu Zhanyong's face, pointed at him, and said to Zhao Quan beside him: "Order someone to lock up this kid for me, take strict care, and don't let him take a step!" ”

"Yes!"

As the two guards outside the door took Zhu Zhanyong away, the outer hall was full of Zhu Zhanyong's wronged voice: "Grandpa! This has nothing to do with me! That's what my eldest brother did, I don't know! ”

After disposing of his grandson Zhu Zhanyong, Zhu Di's mood gradually calmed down, thinking about the situation he was about to face tomorrow, and while he began to think about how to remedy it, he was also thinking about why Zhu Zhanji's kid did this.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Even if those corrupt officials need to be dealt with, then it is completely possible to discuss with him, who is a grandfather, and then dispose of these officials by order of the imperial court.

It didn't make sense, he had to go privately, and he still secretly ordered the people of the Jinyi Guard to investigate this overnight.

No matter how you look at this matter, there is a feeling that the kid wants to cut through the mess quickly, first and then play.

What is this kid afraid of?

Afraid that I, who is a grandfather, will not be willing to deal with those corrupt officials?

He Zhu Di asked himself, although he was not as good as his father Zhu Yuanzhang in dealing with corrupt officials and rectifying the rule of officials.

However, it is by no means a matter of immorality, right?

In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Zhanji's kid not to dare to tell himself because he wants to deal with these corrupt officials.

It's to deal with corrupt officials, and these things can't be known to him, a grandfather.

But why?

He Zhu Di never figured out this question.

As a king who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has been born and died on the battlefield many times, Zhu Di has a vague feeling as he explores more and more deeply on this issue.

The kid seems to be brewing some conspiracy that he doesn't know about.

Zhu Di didn't fall asleep all night, he urgently transferred a list of arrested officials from Jinyiwei's hands, and through the information of the official positions of these people, he began to dispatch officials from other state capitals other than Yingtianfu.

At the same time, a group of officials were urgently promoted.

In order to make up for the gap in officials in Ying Tianfu as much as possible.

Including the people of the Hanlin Academy that Zhu Zhanji used before, he Zhu Di also followed the same example, and urgently promoted a large number of them to the corresponding official positions.

Although there are still great doubts about whether these people are qualified for their current official positions, for the time being, this can only be done for the time being.

Of course, while promoting and promoting these officials, Zhu Di also made it clear that the officials promoted and promoted this time are all temporary positions, and the next decision will be made on whether to formally appoint them according to their performance in office.

But even so, the gap of more than 600 people is still difficult to fill.

These officials, who can currently be mobilized and promoted, can only be assigned to critical and urgent posts.

At the same time, some idle positions within the imperial court and some less important officials were transferred to those positions that were in short supply.

After a busy night, it wasn't until dawn that Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the pen in his hand, looked at the list in front of him that had been disposed of and appointed, and couldn't help cursing: "Little bastard, if you don't give your grandfather an explanation this time, I won't spare you this time!" ”

After he Zhu Di identified Zhu Zhanji as the successor of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, the requirements for him naturally rose.

Needless to say, the talent and talent that this kid showed before is needless to say, even he Zhu Di thinks he is inferior.

But this kid is too impatient, and more than 600 officials say that they will catch it, which can't be described as impatient at all, but has no brains at all.

It is understandable that he is arresting corrupt officials and rectifying the rule of officials.

But his behavior affected the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.......

Thinking of this, Zhu Di slowly muttered again: "Stinky boy, grandpa will take a look this time, what tricks do you kid want to play!" ”

And with the dawn, everything that happened last night also began to spread out to the entire Ying Tianfu.

Especially in this capital, I don't know how many corrupt officials were forcibly rushed in by Jinyiwei's people last night and took people away.

Among them, there are also some clan relatives with deep backgrounds, and members of the imperial court.

On weekdays, even if even one of them is arrested, it will cause an uproar in the capital, but now countless such people have been arrested and brought to justice.

The commotion and shock caused can be described as shocking the government and the opposition and shocking the world.

Even the prince who was in the prince's mansion was also woken up from bed early in the morning.

The lake was surrounded by a group of people.

"Prince, Lord Chen of the Ministry of Industry was arrested by Jinyiwei's people last night, but what's the big deal?"

"Prince, in our Jingzhao Mansion, more than ten people were also arrested last night."

"Have any of you been caught? Four or five officials from our household department were also arrested......"

"Prince, even if you want to arrest people, you should secretly inform us, now that these officials are missing, the people in our various ministries are too busy......"

“.............”

Faced with these people's questions, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was confused.

Because he didn't even know what happened last night, he just felt that the sky had changed after sleeping.

These people who came this morning are all the people in charge of the various ministries of the imperial court and the yamen of the imperial court

And I know how many people in the capital were arrested last night.

Under the questioning of these people, Zhu Gaochi's sleepiness gradually disappeared.

He frowned and asked the people in front of him, "Are you saying that the people who were arrested last night were all Jinyiwei's people?"

"yes....."

Hearing everyone's reply, Zhu Gaochi faintly felt that this matter was not simple.
