"Come back, your grandfather didn't say anything!"

Zhu Zhangui had just returned from the old man's study, and Zhang, who was playing with his two little granddaughters at the gate of the East Palace, hurriedly stepped forward and took the cloak from his son.

"What do you mean?"

Picking up the two daughters, Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhang with some doubts.

Seeing that his son didn't understand, Zhang looked into the house, and only after not finding her husband's figure did she whisper.

"Your uncle, isn't it confirmed that it is the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, your uncle and they, as the first discoverers, exterminated a group of traitors, but it is a lot of credit, no matter what grandpa says, he should express it!"

Hearing his mother say this, Zhu Zhangui suddenly realized.

The old lady who dared to love was not waiting for him at the door, but wanted to know how the old man rewarded Zhang Kejian and others.

"Grandpa said that he would retire next year after finishing this year, and he didn't want to care about anything other than the war, so let my father and I make decisions."

Hearing this, Zhang not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned worriedly.

The matter was left to her husband and son, and no matter how the father and son decided, there would be some gossip.

If you choose to be released immediately after all charges are discharged, there will definitely be people who are shielding their relatives.

If you choose to continue to serve your sentence, some people should say that the prince and grandson take advantage of their own family and don't talk about it at all.

There is a degree in this, how to grasp it still needs to be watched by the father and son.

"What do you think?"

Zhang didn't ask her husband, since her husband took over national affairs, Zhang didn't dare to intervene in state affairs, for fear that in this special period, outsiders would know about it and go to the old man to impeach, so she could only take this opportunity to ask her son what he thought.

After walking into the courtyard, putting down the two daughters, and letting them play, Zhu Zhangui thought about it for a while and replied: "My idea is to let them serve another year in prison before they are released, and they only work for one year, and they don't have enough lessons for them, and they don't remember enough of them, so they just let them go, maybe these guys should make trouble again, so let them do it for another year and have a long memory." ”

"In fact, even if the crime is cleared, I plan to let them continue to do the work of protecting the railway, so that they will not have to panic all day long and do some boring things after they go back."

"That's how it should be, if you want me to say, your uncle should be adding a year, and he can't do anything every day, and he will cause trouble! And when arranging a job for him, stay away from those expensive things, there is no one who is unlucky about him, our old Zhang family has done bad things for eight lifetimes, and we can't be unlucky like this, I really don't know who to blame. ”

Hearing his son's thoughts, Zhang's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Kejian fell mercilessly.

Zhu Zhangui smiled and said with relief: "Maybe it's the luck of the old Zhang family, it's all used on you." There are many women in the world, the crown princess, the queen, and a few of our good children, the luckiest woman in the world, it is estimated that you are the best. ”

"Think about it, the royal children set by Grandpa Tai to take civilian women, it seems that only you can get to this point yourself, as far as your luck is concerned, I am afraid that there is no woman in the world who can compare."

"The so-called yin and yang complement each other, and misfortune is accompanied by good luck, and there is a reason why my uncle's bad luck is like this."

What kind of temper does the old lady Zhu Zhangui is not unclear, the knife mouth and tofu heart, don't look at it so ruthlessly, if Zhu Zhangui really sentences another year according to the old lady's words, it is estimated that the old lady should be depressed again.

"Poof!"

Zhang's laughter, which was amused by his son's words, stretched out his hand and poked Zhu Zhangui's head, and said angrily: "You mouth, no wonder those girls are coaxed by you." Alas, but what you said is also true, the luck of the old Zhang family may really be taken up by me, and your uncle and them will suffer. ”

After chatting about Zhang Kejian, Zhu Zhangui helped Zhang to walk into the house, and just after stepping through the door, Zhu Zhangui suddenly remembered something, reached out and took off one of the two gourds hanging on his waist and handed it to Zhang.

"By the way, you put this away!"

Zhu Zhangui attached great importance to the medicinal wine given by the old Taoist priest to replenish the foundation.

During this time, he took one cup a day, and his body recovered greatly.

Before drinking medicinal wine, every rainy day or when the cold was a little heavier, he would have coughing symptoms, and the injured place would also have a dull pain.

But after drinking medicinal wine for more than half a month, when encountering this kind of weather again, there is no uncomfortable reaction, which shows that the effect of this medicinal wine is really not ordinarily strong.

After discovering the effect of this medicinal wine, Zhu Zhangui attached great importance to it, and in order to prevent loss or accidental damage, Zhu Zhangui let Hu Yu carry it closely.

Hu Yu didn't follow him when he entered the palace today, so Zhu Zhangui carried it on his body.

"What is this? Alcohol? The Imperial Doctor doesn't let your father drink, and alcohol is a life-threatening poison for your father. ”

Taking the gourd, Zhang shook it curiously, heard the sound of water, frowned and said the imperial doctor's explanation.

"Don't worry, this is different from ordinary wine, it is blended by a master, and it has the effect of replenishing the foundation."

"Look at me, my face has been much better recently, just drink this medicinal wine."

"The master told me that my father's long-term fatigue, coupled with obesity and other reasons, the loss of foundation is too great."

"Let him drink a glass of this wine every day, plus daily recuperation, not to mention a long life, it is no problem to live for seven or eight more years."

Zhang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly and carefully hugged the gourd in his arms, for fear that he would spill it if he moved a little bigger.

Her husband's health has always been her biggest concern.

Her husband is a workaholic, and since the old man handed over everything to her husband, she has watched her husband's body become more and more tired, and his hair is gradually turning white.

Zhang's eyes hurt in her heart, but she couldn't help with national affairs, Emperor Taizu had a rule that the harem could not interfere in politics, she could only make some delicious food every day as much as possible, let her husband recuperate his body, and let the imperial doctor often diagnose and prescribe some medicine to recuperate.

Although she has been trying to maintain her husband's health, her husband's health is still getting worse day by day, and he is about to collapse.

The son said that this medicinal wine has a miraculous effect, and Zhang doesn't know if it has an effect on her husband's body, but even if there is only a slight possibility, she will not give up.

"Mother, husband can eat!"

Just as the two of them whispered this, Zhao Ling'er wiped her hands and walked in, obviously today's dinner was from her.

"Good!"

Zhu Zhangui responded with a smile, and then said to Zhang, who was holding the gourd, "Don't let my father know the effect of this medicinal wine." ”

Zhang replied with a look that I understood.

Although the words were not explained, both of them understood the meaning.

With Zhu Chubby's filial piety, if he knew the effect of this medicinal wine, he would definitely give it to the old man as soon as possible.

It's not that Zhu Zhangui doesn't feel sorry for the old man, but the old man's body has reached the limit, and if he drinks this medicinal wine, it will only extend his life for a few months at most, and it doesn't mean much, it is better to give his father Zhu Fat, let his own Lao Tzu live a few more years, and he can wave a few more years outside.

Otherwise, when the two of them leave, Zhu Zhangui will have no chance to go out and surf, and it is estimated that he will have to sit in the palace most of the time and live with those music brushes.

The dinner was prepared by Zhao Ling'er and her daughters, eight dishes and five soups, which were very rich in meat and vegetarian dishes.

"Yo, there's braised pork, I've got a good mouth tonight."

Zhu Fatpang, who had just come out of the study, saw a large plate of braised pork on the table at a glance, and his eyes lit up instantly.

After meditating in the temple for so long, the old man came back today and Zhu Fatpang came out of it, as a person who has no meat and no joy, he has been in the soup and little water in it every day, and he has long been hungry.

If it weren't for the presence of eunuchs and other people around him, Zhu Fatpang would have wanted to discuss with his grandfather, grandfather and others, and give him the roast chicken and other things on the table.

"You are not allowed to eat too much, only two pieces."

Zhang, who was serving porridge to a few little guys, hurriedly reminded him.

Zhu Chupang smiled and took the lead in doing it.

"Now, for you!"

After everyone sat down, Zhang carefully took a glass of medicinal wine and handed it to Zhu Fatpang.

Smelling the pungent smell of wine, Zhu Fatpang's eyes lit up, and he took the wine glass with a roar.

"What day is this day, with wine and meat?"

Zhang glanced at him, "My daughter-in-law and my grandchildren are back, is it a good day!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a good day!"

Zhu Chubby, who was in a hurry to drink, nodded again and again to cope with his wife's words.

Squinted cautiously, Zhu Chupang's brows furrowed slightly.

"How is it medicinal wine!"

Zhang glared, "It's good if you can't drink some of them, but you still pick and choose not to drink them for me." As he spoke, he was about to reach out and grab the wine glass in Zhu Fatpang's hand.

"Don't, don't!" Zhu Fatpang hurriedly dodged and protected the wine glass, "Don't say it's medicinal wine, I'll drink all poisonous wine." ”

After saying that, I was afraid that my wife would come to grab it again, so I went straight down.

Zhang glared at Zhu Chupang angrily, sat down and began to tie an apron for the youngest granddaughter sitting next to him to prepare for dinner.

"Whew!"

"Good wine, my body is warm as soon as I get out of my stomach."

With the wine in his stomach, Zhu Chupang closed his eyes and experienced it for a while, and couldn't help but praise it.

Later, in order to taste more wine, he also picked up the teapot and poured some water into the wine glass, shook it, and smothered the last bit of remnant.

"Come, come, eat, eat!"

After drinking, seeing that the people on the table didn't move quickly, they were all looking at him, Zhu Chupang smiled, picked up the fast, sandwiched a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into his mouth

When Zhu Pang was fast, the others picked up the fast and ate.

Eating without saying anything, this is the most basic rule of the royal family, even a few little guys, they all eat in a proper manner.

After dinner, Zhang and Zhao Ling'er led a few little guys to bathe in the soup pool, and Zhu Zhangui and his father Zhu Chupang walked into the study to discuss the matter of the day after tomorrow.

"I see that you wrote that the erosion in Shandong is serious, and what kind of results have you achieved?"

Entering the study, the father and son sat down, and Zhu Fatpang took the lead in asking about the situation in Shandong.

Since Zhu Zhangui wrote a few days ago and talked about the affairs in Shandong, Zhu Fatpang has not slept well in the past few days, and has been thinking about how to deal with the affairs of Shandong.

"As for the victims, I have been resettled for the time being, and the food I have stored there is enough to support the beginning of spring next year."

"I have already arranged for Lu Xin's side, as soon as the land freezes next year, I will first organize young people to dig canals to cope with future droughts as much as possible."

"Shandong, I plan to plant a wave of potatoes next year, although the land has been a little lacking after so many years of disasters, planting potatoes may hurt the land more, but planting other grains is also a reduction in production, and even the cost can not be recovered, it is better to take potatoes to fight, even if it can not be harvested, it can also keep the rations of the local people."

"After the seeds are planted, I will continue to arrange for the people of Shandong to work for grain to ensure that they do not go hungry before the potato harvest."

After listening to Zhu Zhangui's arrangements for Shandong next year, Zhu Chupang nodded reassuringly.

He knows the pros and cons of growing potatoes.

But as the son said, it is not enough to grow other grain harvests, it is better to fight with high-yield potatoes.

"What about the officials?"

Hearing that his father mentioned the official, the expression on Zhu Zhangui's face became extremely cold, and he used 8 words to summarize his evaluation of the official.

"Corrupt to the extreme, everyone should be killed!"

Zhu Chupang sighed, he had already thought of the worst, but he didn't expect his son's evaluation to be even worse.

He knows his son's character very well, and like his grandfather, he hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials very much.

Zhu Zhangui can say these 8 words of evaluation, which shows that the entire Shandong officialdom has rotted to the roots.

Thinking of the situation in Shandong, Zhu Chupang's brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of sorrow.

Shandong, which is very close to Xinguo, has been eroded like this, and it is hard for Zhu Fatpang to imagine what those places where the emperor is far away should be rotten now.

"I'm going to send out an inspection of the imperial history next year, who do you think is suitable in the court?"

Thinking of the situation in various places, Zhu Fatpang had the idea of sending an inspection of the imperial history.

Although he also knew that he was only in control for a while, and he couldn't control it for a lifetime, but it was better than nothing, even if he couldn't fight the tigers, he could deter and deter those monkeys.

Zhu Zhangui thought for a while and replied: "Actually, Yu Qian is quite suitable, but he is now in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions and can't get away. ”

Zhu Chupang nodded approvingly, Yu Qian is a very good person, and he is also very comfortable to use in the few days when he is doing things.

It's just that the Western Regions is related to the future plan of the imperial court, and without a capable official like Yu Qian sitting there, the imperial court is not at ease at all.

"Let's hang it!"

Zhu Zhangui thought about it and chose the person he was most familiar with.

Zhang Hang, the old guy and Zhu Zhangui are also old enemies, when Zhu Zhangui first came back, this old guy impeached him in one piece of music at the end of three days.

And this guy is very ruthless, many people in the DPRK and China have been impeached by this old man, including father Zhu Chubby, second uncle Zhu Gaoxu, and third uncle Zhu Gaosui.

Anyway, as long as he heard about someone, there would definitely be a copy of this old man in the impeachment book the next day.

That is, the old man likes this old man to protect him, if he is replaced by someone who is not favored, he will be played to death a long time ago.

"It's okay, this old man told me some time ago, probably because he knew that your grandfather was going to retire, and he was afraid that I would trouble him afterwards, so he wanted to retire with success."

"He doesn't want to think about me like that, since he is afraid of being found out afterwards, then let's tell him that the court must be used if he is talented, don't worry about this."

Zhu Zhangui smiled and proposed: "Jinyiwei send a thousand households to follow him, after all, he has been loyal to the imperial court all his life, and now he is indeed old, give him a glory, after this inspection, let him return to his hometown to retire." ”

After chatting about the inspection of the imperial history, Zhu Fatpang glanced at the door to confirm that it was closed and no one could eavesdrop, and asked Zhu Zhangui in a low voice

"How many people are involved in the court, and how many important ministers are there!"

As the crown prince who has managed national politics for many years, Zhu Chupang has a deep understanding that if the magistrates of Shandong dare to be rampant like this, there must be someone in the court to cover for them, otherwise it is impossible to hide from the court.

Zhu Zhangui took out a letter from his arms and put it in front of Zhu Chubby.

"This is the list I have made, you can prepare and see who is suitable to take their place, so that you can save the day after tomorrow when you take someone, you can't find a replacement for a while."

Turning over the music in his hand, looking at the rows of blood-red names written in cinnabar, Zhu Chubby's heart became heavier and heavier.

There are many familiar names on it, and many of them were pulled up by him.

"Are you all sure?"

Zhu Fatpang confirmed it again with some reluctance.

"Coming back with me, there is a carload of testimony from the plaintiff's witnesses, as well as the results of the investigation of the Jinyi Guard, the Moon Shadow Guard, the Yushitai, and the Criminal Department, which you can check at any time."

Closing the list in his hand, Zhu Fatpang closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair tiredly.

"I know, you go back and rest first, and I'll discuss it with your grandfather tomorrow."

Although Zhu Fatpang has taken over the rights of the Ming Dynasty, the current emperor is still an old man, and he still has to discuss with the old man if he replaces so many important ministers of the court at once.

Although the old man doesn't care about these now, Zhu Chubby, who has been scared by the old man for many years, still thinks it's more reliable to discuss with his father.

After all, there is still a year left before he becomes emperor.

After a night without words, early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Chupang dragged his tired body and went to the old man to discuss the ideas he had considered all night.

This discussion lasted all day, and when he came back in the evening, Zhu Fatpang didn't tell Zhu Zhangui about the result, but just said that everything was ready, do it according to your own ideas, drink the medicinal wine prepared by Zhang's and go to rest.

Although Dad didn't say anything, Zhu Zhangui had already seen that Dad and the old man must have discussed the replacement candidate.

In fact, when the father and the old man discussed at noon, they also sent a message to Zhu Zhangui to come over, but Zhu Zhangui refused on the grounds that there was something wrong

Now is the time for Daddy to be in charge, as long as it is not a matter of the direction of the country, it is time for Daddy to be in charge.

When he was the prince, he was managed by the old man, and when he went home, his daughter-in-law was in charge, and he finally had to be the master of the house, and then he was managed by his own son, and the father lived too aggrieved in this life.

As the saying goes, it's all men who are embarrassed by men.

There are a lot of sleepless people tonight.

The emperor returned from the north and declared that he was preparing for the great sacrifice.

If there was no stubble in Shandong, many people would not care too much about it, but the Shandong incident broke out completely, and some people began to feel uneasy in their hearts.

Especially when they heard that the crown prince discussed things with the emperor today, and after discussing them all day, their hearts became even more confused.

Since the emperor gradually handed over power to the crown prince, the discussion between the father and son has been a whole day, and it has been very rare.

The matter of the Northern Expedition has ended, and the Grand Army is already on the way back to Korea, so it is obviously impossible to discuss the matter of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

The Western Regions have also entered the final stage, the main army has begun to return, and the remaining remnants of the enemy have resisted stubbornly and have been handed over to the local Qianhu Office, so it can't be a matter for the Western Regions.

Except for a little riot in other places in Daming, there are no other problems, and the rest of the things are only Shandong.

Thinking of their involvement in Shandong, the more they think about it, the more panicked they become, and some who really can't sleep get up and tell their families to pack up their things, so that they can leave the city at dawn tomorrow and escape as far away as possible.

Regardless of whether something will happen tomorrow or not, family leaving is the best option.

It's a big deal to come back if it's okay, and it's better to run away if something happens, than to stay at home and wait for death.

As a huge meeting at the end of each year, officials from all over the country who have reached a certain level will come.

Especially this year's court meeting, which is accompanied by the big festival of the imperial court, there are more officials who come.

As time reached the beginning of the ugly period, the Jingshi mansions and inns marched out of horse-drawn carriages, gathered from various alleys to the main street, and headed for the entrance of the palace.

The officials who arrived did not get out of the car, but sat in the car and waited for the time of the assembly.

It's not that they don't want to go down, but it's inevitable that they will have to talk after they go down.

They know that they are innocent, but they don't know who is involved in Shandong.

If you chat with the other party for a few words and are seen by someone with a heart, and the other party happens to be implicated in Shandong, then you will be unlucky.

So in order to prevent being innocently implicated, waiting in the car is the best option.

When the time arrived, the officials got out of the car, signed in with the designated officials, and then stood in the designated positions and waited under the arrangement of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone is still silent, looking at their noses and noses one by one, as if they are old monks who have entered the country.

On the other side, the family members of the officials who had ghosts in their hearts, according to the instructions of their masters, pulled the big cart and the small car, and took the family to the direction of the city gate.

Although it is still dark now, it is nothing compared to the life of his own family.

Few of the family members of Jingguan are fools.

The matter that can make the whole family pack up and leave in a panic in the middle of the night is definitely not small, and the lightest thing is to raid the house, and even the whole door is possible.

With this guess, the family packed up without any complaints, calculated the time to open the city gate, and ran over to line up in advance.

But not long after they walked out of the door, a group of brocade guards walked out of the alleys, blocking their way with indifferent expressions.

When the time was slowly approaching, the officials of the Ministry of Rites took the list and began to count them, and when everyone arrived, they faced the imperial city and waited for the gate of the imperial city to open.

"Dongdong..."

"Bang Bang..."

When the time arrived, the sound of bells and drums sounded in the imperial city.

"Squeak!"

The closed gate of the palace slowly opened inward, and two teams of palace guards wearing iron armor, holding long lances with red tassels, stepped out of the palace gate.

The civil and military officials lined up outside the city, and after the palace guards stood on both sides of the gate, they entered the palace with a nervous mood to the sound of bells and drums.

They don't know if they will come out lying down when they step in.

They didn't even know that the family members they thought they had arranged were already waiting for them in their cells one step in advance.

ps: I had a high fever yesterday, accompanied by muscle pain all over my body, I really couldn't code, and I took a day off yesterday. At about 4:00 p.m. today, I eased up a little, and I forced myself to make up a little more than 2,000 words written the day before yesterday, and now I am still in a high fever, and I am expected to get better tomorrow.

Brothers must do a good job of protection, this feeling is so uncomfortable, it is simply better to live than to die, even if it is not for yourself, for the sake of your family! Note! Note!
