Zhu Rong was stunned, he looked at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong's cheeks were red when he was seen, Zhu Rong said: "If Lone helps you, can you convince your father?" ”

Li Jinglong raised his head, his voice was extremely firm, "Yes!" ”

"Well, you know the straw man on Chengxian Street, right?"

"This matter is no different from confronting your father, you should also know that the vassal king is just asking about the government, you have to tell Gu Lu Xiong what he has done, and Gu Lu Xiong can find a way."

Li Jinglong pondered for a long time, but he couldn't answer, and was a little anxious: "I only know that it was done by Yushitai." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Imperial Historical Observatory was very great, and in the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Six Sections, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who set up special officials to supervise the government and the opposition, and they inspected the six departments every day.

Yushitai could directly arrest officials, and the results were directly presented to Zhu Yuanzhang after interrogation, and the Manchu civil and military forces called them unlucky when they saw them.

After the abolition of Zhongshu Province, the power of the six ministries gradually increased, and the judicial power was transferred to the criminal department and the Dali Temple in the five temples.

The Goshidai was soon abolished and replaced with the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

Zhu Yu came to the noon gate, he rode a war horse and went straight to Jiangning County, Liu Ji was once a royal historian, and he helped his father arrest many corrupt officials, he should know.

When he came to a field in the southeast of Jiangning County, Zhu Rong saw that most of the fields at the foot of the mountain had been reclaimed.

The two schools guarding Liu Ji were rotated again.

Zhu Yan took out eight taels of silver from his arms, and wanted them to go farther away and not let them hear, otherwise they would definitely report to their father and the emperor, and it would be even more difficult to forgive Lu Xiong's crimes.

Zhu Yan grinned, as he had done in the past, "Ah, my father has sent two more Inspectors of the Great Golden Go?" ”

Wu Yong clenched his fists and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”

Zhu Rong wanted to walk over, but they just bowed down and didn't get out of the way, Zhu Rong shouted: "Come and see Mr. Lonely, it was approved by Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother!" Get out of the way! ”

Wu Yong took a deep look at Zhu Rong, as the imperial guard, he was very clear about the relationship between His Majesty and Queen Ma, once Queen Ma got angry, it would be to block His Majesty.

He raised his hand and told the three of his men to pull back.

Zhu Rong turned around, "By the way, who told you to stop Lonely?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Your Majesty did not make an order, but Master Song asked to come and see Lord Liu, but without His Majesty's permission, he did not dare to let him go at will."

Wu Yong always kept a solemn face.

Zhu Rong knew that he was talking about Song Lian, and handed over two taels of silver, but Wu Yong refused to accept it.

"Sir, it's getting harder for me to come and see you."

"King Qi can not come."

"Ah, Lone is just talking casually."

Zhu Yan didn't suffer any blow on his face, he sat on Liu Ji's futon, and just watched Liu Ji plow the land, and he didn't mean to help.

"Sir, I would like to beg my father to forgive Lu Xiong, the prefect of Luzhou, for his crimes."

Liu Ji knew Lu Xiong.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of famous Confucians in the world, and Liu Ji was once a prince in the imperial history and knew the details of all the important ministers in the court.

Hearing this name, Liu Ji's expression froze, and he raised his sleeves slightly, wiping the sweat on his forehead, but his mouth was opening and closing.

"Lu Xiong was imprisoned for corruption, and charged 100 yuan for each grain ship that crossed the Yanzhou River, and His Royal Highness came to see me knowing that His Majesty would not forgive, so he should also know that I can't save him."

"What if only his family was saved?"

"Why?"

Immediately, Zhu Rong told Zhu Yuanzhang's words when he went to worship the emperor's temple, as well as going to Cao Gong's Mansion to see Li Wenzhong and Li Jinglong.

Liu Ji stroked his beard, his eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

Hearing that Zhu Yu wanted to ask Li Wenzhong to be a master of the art of war, he did not show displeasure because Li Wenzhong was a Huaixi military general.

"The Queen's birthday is coming."

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that his mother could not be killed, and he also specially went out of the palace to pray for the empty seal case, the queen's birthday is a happy event, and there is a precedent of amnesty and joy.

Thinking of Queen Ma, the corners of Liu Ji's eyes were hazy: "There hasn't been any movement in the palace yet, right?" ”

"No, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has always been diligent and thrifty, and never mentions her selfish desires, if my father forgets, I'm afraid there won't be a birthday banquet this year."

According to the etiquette law, if the queen's birthday banquet is to be held, Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will apply to the household department for a month in advance to purchase delicacies, but the palace has not moved at all.

This is also the reason why Zhu Rong doesn't remember.

Will it be done?

Zhu Yu wanted to ask a few more words, but Liu Ji said lightly: "Your Highness will bring me a word to the queen." ”

…………

Zhu Yuanzhang was reading in the Fengtian Palace, he raised his head suddenly, glanced left and right, and immediately shouted: "Three-five!" Why don't you remind us of my sister's birthday! ”

Mao Xiang walked in, "Your Majesty, the queen can't say anything?" ”

"In the case of the empty seal, we executed thousands of officials, and the eldest sister has a grudge against us in her heart."

"She has been with us for so many years, and now she has never enjoyed Qingfu as a queen."

"It's going to be done this year! We like to eat baked cakes, the eldest sister likes to watch plays, you go to the palace to invite a group of Huaixi's theater stage. ”

"Silver should be spent, don't be so frugal on your birthday, and! Ordered that hundreds of officials were not allowed to give gifts, lest these dog officials seize the opportunity to loot the people's fat and ointment! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the air, thought of saying one sentence after another, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that there were no other mistakes.

Mao Xiang nodded, turned around and ran to the Ministry of Rites.

When Zhu Yu returned to the palace and came to Kunning Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs seemed to have a long drought and nectar, and their faces showed joy, as if the heavy dark clouds suppressed above the Forbidden City were removed.

Queen Ma sat dignified on the phoenix collapse, with a straight face, hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to hold a big banquet, she was a little unhappy, and when she saw Zhu Rong walking in, her face finally relaxed.

"It's still his mother who cares about him."

Concubine Da Ding took Queen Ma's hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted: "The prince is busy with court affairs, King Qin, King Jin and King Yan have all left Beijing, and this inferior son is still idle, don't be too strict with the princes." ”

Zhu Yu looked at Queen Ma, "Mother, Erchen has gone to see Liu Ji." ”

Hearing this name, Queen Ma's face froze, the founding heroes of the DPRK and China, she is most concerned about Liu Ji, after all, Liu Ji is now guilty.

"He asked me to bring a word, congratulations to Niangniang on her thousand years of life!"

Queen Ma's eyes were stunned, and she laughed, "Liu Ji still remembers me, every year on my birthday, he will ask someone to send some peaches into the palace as my birthday gift." ”

Seeing this, Concubine Dading said: "Look at what Niangniang said, Your Majesty also remembers, and sent someone to invite Huaixi's stage outside the palace." ”

Queen Ma snorted coldly and ignored Concubine Dading.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the entire Kunning Palace was solemn.

The joy on the faces of the eunuchs and palace maids gradually faded, and since Queen Ma came back from praying outside the palace, she had not been to the Qianqing Palace.

However, even if Queen Ma complains about Zhu Yuanzhang, she will not say a word of his bad in front of others.

Zhu Yu was happy in her heart, "It seems that my mother won't laugh at the birthday banquet, if I can make her laugh, Li Jinglong's matter will be simple." ”

Zhu Yu thought about it and ran out of Kunning Palace.
