The two rode a horse, a little swaggering through the city, after all, Liu Yun is still a daughter, Zhu Yu spent money to hire a two-horse carriage, and then went to Jiangning County, it took an hour not to take the post road.

"Can you look out the window?"

Zhu Yan didn't understand, and looked at her seriously: "Father only punishes Mr., why don't you leave Yingtian?" ”

"My dad is in the capital, of course we have to stay here!"

The trail in Jiangning County is not easy to walk, the potholes are full of potholes, the early Ming Dynasty conscription is used in the wasteland, the road has not been repaired, the carriage is bumpy all the way, the people in the car are staggering, Liu Yun is a little uncomfortable all the way, she has not yet left the cabinet, and Zhu Rong sat in the carriage.

When he arrived in Jiangning County, Liu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief.

The carriage stopped on the county road in Jiangning County, Zhu Rong got out of the carriage, turned her head and instructed her: "I can only look at him from a distance, and I can't talk to Mr." ”

Liu Yun snorted, and said with difficulty and reluctance, "Thank you." ”

Facing the two newcomers, Zhu Yan put his hand into his arms, and he always had to do things in the palace, and he wouldn't talk too much after receiving the benefits.

Of course, he didn't think that the school inspector would betray his father for a few taels of silver, but his father was busy with government affairs, so he would admit it when he asked, and if he didn't ask, the school inspector wouldn't talk much.

Zhu Yu walked over and looked at them with interest, "I haven't seen you alone?" ”

"Subordinate Wu Yong."

"Subordinate Zhang Qi."

Wu Yong? The silver that Zhu Yu took out suddenly became three taels, nothing, just to get to know the future Jinyi Wei second-in-command.

The two inspectors kept a straight face and confiscated the silver, but let Zhu Yu pass.

Zhu Yan looked around, the green mountains of Jiangning County were reclaimed into brown ridges, and the prisoners were dredging the canals.

"Sir, the lonely smelting has abolished the three smelting iron furnaces of Jiangxi Jinxian... The father was furious, but he still allowed Zhao Li and the deputy envoy to live until now, and now that the news has not come for a long time, he is a little panicked..."

Liu Ji raised his head, "When did King Qi master the art of smelting?" ”

"Ah, rough."

"Let's keep changing."

"Your Majesty knows but does not dissuade it, it is tacit, one thing can be done, the world will benefit, even if it can't be done, the mind should not be shaken, this is what the King of Qi has to do."

Zhu Yu's eyes were clear, it was a pity to smelt and scrap three iron-smelting furnaces, but because of this, his father would look down on him, and Liu Ji's words made him suddenly brighter.

It's rare to come to Jiangning County, Zhu Rong has one more thing, he said:

"Sir, the Ming Dynasty is going to fight with the Northern Yuan, why doesn't my father let me join the army?"

"I don't guess the divine will."

Okay, that's a different angle...... Zhu Rong continued: "The third and fourth brothers can go to the northern army, why should I stay in Yingtian? ”

"When King Yan and King Jin followed the generals' school drills, King Qi was messing around, and when King Yan and King Jin won military merits on the battlefield, King Qi was still messing around, why did King Qi think that he had such talent?"

In the face of Liu Ji's sarcasm, Zhu Rong still respected him very much, he looked at the energetic man in front of him, "No wonder my father attaches great importance to Mr.'s advice, Mr. can always be reassuring, and I will come to see Mr. next time." ”

Zhu Yu ordered the carriage to be started, fearing that Liu Ji would be noticed if he stayed too long, and Liu Ji did not seem to want me to take care of his daughter, because he did not want to have anything to do with his father.

Liu Yun was reluctant to give up and lay on the window.

Back in the capital, Zhu Yu gave the coachman a tael of silver, and with the price of the early Ming Dynasty, it was a generous shot.

Going to Jiangning once, it cost nearly two taels of silver, plus the silk clothes he bought before, Zhu Rong felt that he would be hollowed out sooner or later.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the prices were not expensive, and because of the law, profiteers did not dare to hoard futures.

Business, in the early Ming Dynasty, when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, is a broad road with a bright future, lacking everything, and investing with your eyes closed can also make a lot of money.

Small talk books are popular, and you can earn silver taels by writing these, but businessmen are the class that Zhu Yuanzhang hates.

Especially since he is also a prince.

Liu Yun opened her mouth, she stood next to the carriage, unwilling to leave, "How long will my father be exiled?" ”

"Why am I telling you?"

"Then what are you going to do before you can say it?"

Zhu Yu closed his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Hooligans."

Zhu Yu saw her panicked like a deer, jumping and running back to Liu's house, I was just thinking, what conditions to put forward, what are you scolding me for...... It's inexplicable.

Liu Jiu smiled and said, "Hehe, Your Highness, she ran away." ”

Zhu Yu returned to the palace satisfied.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Rong gradually calmed down, and Liu Ji told me that the mentality should not be shaken whether it is successful or not, this is the mind of those who have achieved great things.

It's time for me to make a decision.

Since my father acquiesced, let's go all the way to the dark......

Back at the Wumen Square, Zhu Yan saw a group of officials on the periphery of the Wumen Square, with different expressions, their eyes focused on the center of the square, the executioner waved a silver sword, and a watermelon-like thing rolled down.

The Ming Dynasty was prosperous in killing corrupt officials.

It was from the beginning of the dynasty to the end of Hongwu.

These officials have experienced the ups and downs of the founding of the country, and there is not much fluctuation in their hearts, they are gathered in front of the noon gate square, and for the people, it is even more so.

Zhu Yan looked at the official next to him.

"What is this about?"

"Your Majesty ordered that officials should not interfere with the inspection of the Ministry of Officials, and this official collected a lot of silver taels and tampered with the official inspection of the imperial court, which was detected by His Majesty."

The official looked at the two eunuchs who were waiting to be executed, and said, "As for those two eunuchs, they dared to inquire about the news of the imperial front and were also imprisoned together." ”

Liu Jiu covered his eyes with his hands and put his legs together, as if he was about to pee out in fright.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that eunuchs could not be involved in politics, and it was written into the ancestral system for future generations to implement.

But history seems to be against Zhu Yuanzhang, and he formulated this policy.

The Ming Dynasty was the most serious dynasty in history, with eunuchs interfering in politics the most serious in history, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhi, Shang Ming, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, Feng Bao, these eunuchs were more powerful than the other, and they formed a force that could confront civil officials, called internal officials.

It can even change the direction of dynasties.

Speaking of being an official.

Hongwu is the most glorious period of the Ming Dynasty, today you may not have a point of fame, tomorrow you may be able to become a member of the imperial court.

This is also the most bitter era, the court officials get up before dawn to freshen up, dress, before going out, say goodbye to their wives, if they can come back alive, the whole family will celebrate each other, and live one more day.

Zhu Yu knows very well that this is not a joke, the Hongwu Dynasty really exists.

Liu Jiu saw the two eunuchs being dragged out, his face turned pale, his legs were as soft as noodles, and he couldn't stand up straight, so he couldn't help but reach out to support Zhu Rong.

"Temple... Your Highness, shall we go? ”

Zhu Yu stood still and didn't move, since he was reborn in the Hongwu Dynasty, he had been prepared in his heart.

"How can there be such a timid eunuch as you!"
