Become a member of the Cabinet.

It's a huge temptation.

Zhu Gaochi admitted from his heart that when the prince's uncle said those words, he was moved.

People are not plants.

As a clan, he has natural advantages, but he also has countless taboos.

Now he can be in charge of the tax office, but it is only because this yamen is relatively independent of the yamen of the court, and it is still a position that can offend people the most at the moment.

Sitting in the seat of the tax office, it is doomed that he will not be able to do the thing of colluding with the courtiers now.

It is even more unlikely to be respected by the local gentry and wealthy families.

As for the people?

With the support of the people, it is impossible for anyone to succeed at this time.

But if you really make it to the cabinet, it will be different.

Is this a temptation, or is it sincere?

Zhu Gaochi was a little confused.

Seeing that this fat nephew didn't speak, Zhu Biao just smiled on his face, reached out and patted Zhu Gaochi's shoulder, and then raised his head sideways, his brows furrowed slightly.

"I've really grown up, and now I'm much taller than my uncle."

Zhu Gaochi immediately bowed his head and bent over: "It's just that the nephews eat better now than the uncle back then, and they eat more, and this son can't stop growing up." ”

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, noncommittal: "But you think the uncle was testing you just now?" ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't speak.

"I think so." Zhu Biao said ambiguously, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty is not as good as the previous dynasties, and you are a person with a pure and benevolent nature, even if you really occupy a high position in the court in the future, you will never do anything that hinders the society." ”

Zhu Gaochi was a little speechless.

At this moment, he was because of Zhu Biao's trust in him.

Zhu Biao said: "Uncle, I trust you very much. ”

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi was completely silent.

When he lowered his head, his eyes flickered.

Ahead, the old man was still accompanied by Sun Gou'er, and he was constantly buying all kinds of useful and useless things.

Probably for the old man, whether it is useful or not, the money he spends will always be useful.

That's the biggest significance.

And the harem ladies and Tang Queqing, who were left behind, guarded by a group of brocade guards, with two dolls, were full of curiosity about everything around them.

It's a mouth that breathes fire.

can elicit a burst of screams and screams from these women.

Then, it should be one of Sun Gou'er's apprentices, so he picked out a share of the reward money that had been prepared early and threw it away.

The royal family is rejoicing with the people.

Zhu Biao looked at the scene around him, everything was so harmonious and harmonious.

The people's livelihood is prosperous, and the singing and dancing are leveling.

This is a precursor to prosperity.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Some people say that Tang Xuanzong has lived too long. If he dies at the end of the first century, it will be comparable to Tang Taizong, Zhongxing Datang, and recreating the world.

However, this prosperous world is like a fire scorching oil, and it looks high, but if it makes the slightest mistake, it will be the result of hot oil splashing everywhere and causing heavy damage.

So in the end, it is the fault of Tang Xuanzong who lived too long, or the fault of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, who can say well. ”

History is always full of opinions, and all of them can tell one, two, or three.

If you are a little more interested, you can even write those few words according to history, carry private work, dress up the cold history, and whitewash it as you think in your heart.

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed slightly, and his heart was a little solemn.

Today, the uncle first mentioned that if he entered the cabinet, he talked about Xuanzong, and then talked about the prosperous world.

It's not like you hear it every day.

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head, followed behind Zhu Biao, and said softly: "The court is above the balance, and the countryside is evenly divided. The Ming Dynasty did not have a former Tang Dynasty town, nor did it have a former Song Dynasty. Uncle, I'm worried about ......"

"Is it true that your uncle is too worried?"

Zhu Biao turned around, kept walking, looked at Zhu Gaochi, and asked quietly rhetorically.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment.

has been the crown prince for nearly 30 years, and the uncle has the most calm political wisdom above the court.

He couldn't answer for a while.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Let's go back to Fangcai, the uncle said that if you are allowed to enter the cabinet, it will only be when the time is ripe in the future."

Brother Xi has changed a lot in the past few years, but I have never had too much control, and I feel that there should be no control when I think about it on weekdays. Fortunately, everything he does is qualified, and the imperial court has been changing with each passing day in recent years.

But what if it takes time?

Can Brother Xi still have such an enterprising mind? Or is it true that his already violent temperament can still think twice? ”

Zhu Gaochi's brows became more and more furrowed.

This topic made it more and more difficult for him to speak.

Zhu Biao sighed lightly: "You are a good boy, and the uncle has been in his eyes for the past two years." In the clan, there are a lot of materials that can be created in your generation, but only you are the most benevolent and pure, and you act in accordance with the rules the most. So...... Uncle is thinking, if it is ...... in the future? If there is any calamity in the imperial court, you have to stand up for our Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaochi stopped completely.

His eyes flickered, and he finally understood the true meaning of what Uncle Crown Prince said tonight.

Today, the old man first made an edict, and now there is an uncle who says this to himself, asking him to stand up when there is a problem in the court.

All of this has been going on since today.

Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi who had stopped, with a smile on his face.

That's the elder in the family, and only the philanthropic face of his own children and nephews will have.

He beckoned to Zhu Gaochi: "Distracted? Keep up. ”

Zhu Gaochi immediately took steps and followed back behind Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao said again at this time: "I have always said that you are kind-hearted. It's just that if you really think about the country's social welfare, you need to be more strict in your actions in the future. If it is really blocked, it will be difficult for the society to walk, and the knife in his hand cannot be dropped. ”

This is all teaching.

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head: "My nephew knows." ”

Zhu Biao always had a smile on his face, and nodded: "It's good to know, it's good." ”

After that, he had no intention of continuing, and began to look at the Yingtian City in which he was in it.

Ying Tiancheng has changed a lot lately.

There are a lot of new things on the street that didn't exist in the past.

A large garbage can is placed on the side of the street about every 50 steps, and from time to time you will see one or two women and children wearing special blue half-sleeves, carrying brooms and long tongs, cleaning up all the garbage that can be seen on the road.

"This is the Yingtian City cleaning system that Zou Xueyu made."

Zhu Biao changed the subject, pointing to the garbage cans on the side of the street, and the blue half-sleeved women and children who were cleaning up the street all the time.

Zhu Gaochi immediately stepped forward and replied: "Yes, according to the original request of the Zou Governor's Mansion, one is to keep the Beijing Division clean, and the other is to use the government to provide money and grain to settle these poor people. In this way, it can not only make Jingshi a well-deserved first good place, but also subsidize the poor people. Now it seems that Governor Zou is really doing practical things. ”

Such a small thing would not normally reach Zhu Biao. When Zou Xueyu's recital of Tianfu arrived in the cabinet, it was directly a matter of the vote to be approved.

Zhu Biao then turned around and asked: "How can the women and children hired by the government ensure that they will not be paid empty salaries, or be occupied by the relatives of the officials in the yamen, and then recruit those really poor families to work at a discount?" ”

Take the quota to eat empty salaries, and the official family occupies the seat and then recruits people to do things.

In an instant, Zhu Biao thought of this matter, and finally the place where he might be fished in troubled waters.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it and tried hard to recall it before explaining: "It seems that Governor Zou made a list outside the mansion, and all the people who were recruited were on the list. How much food is given each month and where the family lives are recorded. In addition, there is an account book to record expenditures, whether it is the household department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Jinyi Guard, you can draw it at any time. ”

A tighter regulatory regime can prevent corruption more effectively.

Zhu Biao always thought so, nodded and said: "This law can be called good governance, Zou Xueyu is a person who does practical things, these good governance in Tiancheng can be sorted out when he turns around, and it is issued to the local government to implement it as usual." ”

Zhu Gaochi paused, he thought that this matter could be done in Ying Tiancheng, that was because Ying Tianfu was under the nose of the imperial court, and if it was changed to a place, the situation would be different.

Zhu Biao seemed to know what Xiaopang was thinking, waved his hand and said: "It's a big deal, this money and grain will be distributed by your local tax office in the future, and the local government will not be asked to interfere." In the future, your tax office will write off the accounts with the local government at the end of each year. ”

Shouldn't the tax office just collect money, why do you have to start paying now?

Zhu Gaochi hesitated.

But Zhu Biao has been attracted by another new thing on the street.

I saw him and the old man Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him, looking at a brightly lit place at the same time.

"Where is that over there? How can it be so bright as day? ”

looked at the old man and the uncle, and at the same time looked at his own inquiring gaze.

Zhu Gaochi was about to speak.

But I didn't want to, but a large group of people flashed out of the oblique pull on the street.

Just as he was about to call the brocade guards who accompanied him to stop him.

saw that Ren Hengtai, the first assistant scholar of the Ming Cabinet who was wearing a homely attire, had already rushed to the emperor first.

Ren Hengtai's face was full of displeasure, but he was a little helpless.

Standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he could only say in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, how can you be here?" ”

As he spoke, Ren Hengtai looked at the large group of children behind the emperor.

The prince is here, and he can still talk about it.

Why is the princess also here!

Even if the princess is here, why are those ladies in the harem also there.

Ren Hengtai looked at the past one by one, and when he saw the end, he saw Zhu Wensheng and Zhu Fuling who were held in the arms of the woman of the old Zhu family, and they almost fainted on the spot.

That is, the security in Yingtian City, which has been managed by Yingtianfu this year, there are some signs of being left behind.

If it was somewhere else, or at the beginning of the founding of the country.

As long as a group of traitors and gangsters know the emperor's itinerary today, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be wiped out directly.

The big guys can just go home, pack their bags, and go back to their hometowns.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked at Ren Hengtai, the first assistant who was blocking in front of him, and felt a little disappointed.

Bad luck!

He looked again, and saw that it was not only Ren Hengtai present.

Xie Jin, Xu Yungong, and Zhai Shan in the cabinet, along with the six Shangshu and the chief officials of the three law divisions, all wore home clothes and rushed here.

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were slightly raised, and he glanced around again.

Really.

I saw that the street, which was already crowded, is now even more crowded, and it is almost to the point of rubbing shoulders.

They even called the people of the Terracotta Division to come over!

sneaked out of the palace and was caught by these people on the spot, which made Zhu Yuanzhang only feel gloomy.

But the dignity of the emperor made his face not change, and even his face was displeased.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "I can't be here?" ”

Ren Hengtai was dumbfounded.

After all, the world belongs to the emperor, and he can go wherever he wants.

To say something unpleasant, that is, which minister is at home Dunlun, if the emperor wants to enter the house to see if his courtier Dunlun's posture is good, it is also unimpeded, and no one dares to stop it.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Ren Hengtai was speechless, and turned his eyes to Xie Jin and the others.

Xie Jin turned his head to look away.

How can there be a leaf in the corner of the street, and when you turn around, you have to bang Zou Xueyu, a bastard student, and you can't do things well.

And to report to these cabinet ministers and ministry bigwigs, Zou Xueyu, who was standing at the back of everyone at the moment, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then frowned and looked at the clothes he was wearing, and couldn't help but become more and more puzzled.

Xu Yungong couldn't hold back, and stepped forward and whispered: "You can go wherever you want, but can you talk to the minister in advance next time...... The little ones talk about it, and they can also send people to protect you. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy and glared at the Xu family boy.

"What, did you let the thief sneak into Yingtian City?"

With just such a sentence, Xu Yungong was speechless, and he retreated silently helplessly.

And when he saw that they were all silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile on his face that had defeated these courtiers, and turned his head to look at the big fat grandson who was shrinking behind.

"Brother Chi, come here."

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and cautiously walked to the old man, but he didn't dare to let the court officials in front of him feel that he had seduced the old man out of the palace.

"My grandson is here."

Zhu Gaochi even spoke in a small voice, which could only be heard by the people around him.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ren Hengtai who was close to him with a smile, looked at the big fat grandson and asked, "Grandpa was still asking you just now, what is the place over there?" It should be very lively, let's go over and take a look, and join in the fun. ”

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at the light on the east side of Nanmen Street.

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

And Ren Hengtai and others, who stopped the emperor, were also embarrassed.

Xie Jin turned his head directly and glanced at Zou Xueyu coldly.

Zou Xueyu wanted to cry without tears.

I did these things by myself, not to make Ying Tiancheng truly the best place, and to become a place that everyone in this world yearns for.

Is it your fault?

Zhu Gaochi had the heart to shut up, but the old man's eyes were staring at him.

He had to say with an embarrassed face: "Grandpa, it's the Qinhuai River over there, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
