Zhu Yu came to the Spring and Palace.

When I entered the door, I saw that Zhu Biao was flipping through the sparse music in the hand of the imperial history, and with the officials of the Guozijian to the local appointment, there were sparse recitals from all over the country.

After entering the palace gate, Zhu Yu said, "Brother, do you know the imperial history Chen Ran?" ”

Zhu Biao raised his head: "I naturally know that the imperial court is ready to send him back to his hometown, give him a fortune, and spend his old ......age in peace."

"But I think he's pretending to be crazy...... When I came back from the Cao Guogong Mansion today, I saw him on Chang'an Avenue, which had the largest number of people...... Holding filth in his hands...... So I asked Liu Jiu to taste it, it was dough and sauce......"

Zhu Biao frowned, "Father has sent the school to see it...... Let him return home. ”

"Brother doesn't believe it, I have a way, come with me."

Zhu Yu asked people to prepare for the car, and came to Chen Ran's house, Chen Ran's home was very simple, as simple as the homes of other imperial historians.

Zhu Biao saw the crazy Chen Ran from a distance, sitting on the roof, "I'm afraid that the imperial doctor can't tell it." ”

Zhu Rong turned his head to look at Liu Jiu: "Go and call the neighbors around, if you want to go out often, if you have been at home for a long time, you don't have to call over, I guess I don't know." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Brother will find out in a moment."

Liu Jiu took the guards of the East Palace and quickly called the neighbors who lived around.

Two old men and a middle-aged man looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Rong blankly, the old man's clothes were colorful, he should be a little gentleman with a head and face, he was bold, and said tentatively:

"What is the matter with the two nobles letting the old man come?"

Zhu Yan smiled and asked: "This family, can there often be cars and horses to visit?" ”

The old man in colorful clothes asked, "Do you mean Lord Chen?" ”

"There used to be horse-drawn carriages visiting... I don't know whose car drove it, but four fine horses drove it...... I came to pick up Lord Chen a few times. ”

"Do you eat meat often?"

"I don't know, but Lord Chen's wife and concubine go out every day to buy it."

"Has anyone traveled far away recently?"

"I heard that two subordinates were dismissed......

Zhu Yan asked seriously, the old man didn't dare to hide it, and said it one by one.

"The only carriage that can drive four cars in the DPRK and China is the public wait... I'm afraid that the matter of Yingyang Hou has involved too many officials... It made Chen Yushi afraid. ”

Zhu Biao was stunned, and at this moment he also understood that Chen Ran was pretending to be crazy.

"Brother, go back to the palace."

………………

In the Temple of Fengtian.

Zhu Yuanzhang held the Zhenguan dignitaries to study, a little tired, raised his head and yawned.

The old eunuch handed over a cold handkerchief and put it on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead to refresh his mind.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked, "Why hasn't the prince presented Shu Song yet?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, King Qi will go to Chunhe Palace...... and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the palace, and sent the recital to the Chunhe Palace, and only then did he approve Sancheng, as well as the recital of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, which are still waiting for the prince to see..."

The subordinate official of the East Palace raised his head worriedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Our son...... It seems that the East Palace needs to set up a set of etiquette. ”

"King Qi is very smart, he dares to do what others dare not do... The etiquette system is afraid that he can't restrain him. ”

Li Shanchang has been with Zhu Yan for a while and understands his temperament.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked behind Li Shanchang, six Shangshu wearing crimson official robes and bowing their heads, a month ago, they were still wearing blue robes.

"Ministry of Officials, have all the officials of Zhongshu Province been arranged?"

Ruan Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said: "After Hu Weiyong's death, the Ministry of Officials divided the officials of Zhongshu Province into six departments, leaving only the Zhongshu people to wait for His Majesty's arrangement. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the music again, raised his head and said, "Order them to go to the palace...... If you have nothing to play, you will retire. ”

The six men bowed and retreated.

Li Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, Chen Ran's enjoyment... The officials' fortunes are the people's fat and the people's anointing, and when it comes to the officials' enjoyment, the ministers dare not make their own decisions. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, "How much is Yushi's Yulu?" ”

Li Shanchang: "Chen Ran's moon is fifteen stones. ”

"Chen Ran is in the court, he is straightforward and outspoken, and he presents the most sparse performances...... So he gave him twenty stones a month and three acres of fertile land, so that he could live for the rest of his life. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang investigated, Chen Ran came from a slightly cold farmer.

Li Shanchang nodded, and was about to turn around and go to the household department to pass the government, but he saw the Guangting outside the Fengtian Palace, the crown prince and the king of Qi were coming to the Fengtian Palace, and they did not report it.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them with a straight face: "I heard that you are out of the palace again?" ”

"Yes......"

Zhu Biao nodded submissively.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused on his face, but turned his head to look at Zhu Rong, "Where did you take the prince to, what is more important than the people's livelihood?" ”

Zhu Yu met Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze: "Erchen went to visit Chen Ran. ”

Zhu Biao said: "Father, Chen Ran is pretending to be crazy... The filth he eats is actually rice and noodles, and his sons asked the neighbors left and right, Chen Ran's family often has public carriages and horses to visit, his wife and concubines often go out to procure, and the backyard often discards the meat that cannot be eaten......"

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, and his face became more and more cold.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little incredulous.

Zhu Biao said: "The seventh brother found out, Erchen personally went to Chen Ran's house, and the only one who took the four carriages in the court was the public wait... How can it be just? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and looked at Li Shanchang next to him,

"Order Yu Shitai to arrest Chen Ran and put him in prison."

Zhu Rong raised his head: "My father has reduced the amount of food in the children's courtyard...... This time, if it weren't for Erchen, Chen Ran would have returned to his hometown. ”

After such a reminder, Zhu Yuanzhang had already heard the meaning of Xuanwai, he looked at this son, and said indifferently: "Say, what do you want?" ”

"Erchen wants, five hundred taels of silver and a carriage..."

This bad son must want to sneak out of the palace again.

Zhu Yuanzhang paid a micro visit, procured outside the palace, and would also pay the vendors silver taels as usual, and he ordered someone to bring up the silver ticket, but it was only three hundred taels, and the carriage would then be sent to Zhu Rong's courtyard.

Queen Ma walked into the Fengtian Palace, she turned around, picked up a bowl of warm soup from a palace maid's brocade plate, and put it in front of the imperial case.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip and looked at Queen Ma with a serious expression.

"There's one thing we want to discuss with you."

The eunuchs hurriedly brought stools from the side hall, and Queen Ma sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We want to abolish the Imperial Observatory."

"The Imperial Historical Observatory is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, why should it be abolished?"

"The Imperial History Observatory is controlled by Hu Weiyong, I don't know how many imperial histories are sent down, they are all Hu Weiyong's people, we want to abolish it and recall those imperial histories back."

"How?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to hear Queen Ma's opinion.
