There was a spring rain in Jingshi.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil.

In mid-March, after the end of the four-year court meeting in Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao took a little time to adjust some officials, and then for more than 20 days, it was like quiet after the bustle, and there was no major event.

After Min Jue became a scholar, it was Zhao Shen who took over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he had been working for four or five years from the title of Zuo Shilang to Zuo Shilang.

Originally born as the governor of Southern Jiangxi, his roots in Beijing were not deep.

Zhu Houzhao is still willing to use such a person. On the contrary, for the Qingliu literati who are 'very famous', they have always been grateful and insensitive, not that they are disgusted, nor that they cannot be used, but there are too many such people in the court, but there are still a few like Zhao Shen.

Moreover, Zhao Shen was originally from the provincial official training class, and his reuse was also the result of Zhu Houzhao's promotion.

In this way, the courses themselves are meaningful.

Lin Han, the official of the Ministry of Rites, is probably about to come to an end.

A few days ago, there was a rumor in the chamberlain, and the emperor lamented in private: Lin Shangshu is old and ear-backed, and every time I call the right one, I need to repeat it several times, I pity his old age, and he is a respected old minister, and I feel that I am afraid of hurting the old minister's heart if I deal with it carelessly.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Han naturally knew what they meant, and he was indeed very old.

To say that there is no sadness in his heart is a lie, and the main thing is that he is not psychologically prepared. But after thinking about it, the emperor didn't get along with him very smoothly, and he could endure him for so many years, and finally give him a good death, what was there to be dissatisfied?

Of course, the first time was rejected.

Zhu Houzhao was waiting for him to go to the second and third time.

The weather in spring always makes people feel comfortable, and the emperor does not want to be stuffy in the house, so he comes to the pavilion of the West Garden with an umbrella and watches the rain connect into a line from the corner of the eaves, which has a unique charm.

The raindrops hit the stagnant water, and immediately burst into waves, cutting the red wall reflected in the stagnant water into a distorted feeling.

The rain rattled and blocked out the other noises.

It's always a pleasant environment.

The emperor's two children are more than a year old, and they have clearly said the word 'father'.

In his spare time, Zhu Houzhao is also willing to tease and tease the two children.

Children are actually still a little funny, you can make him happy, and then make him cry.

Huaixiao and Huaiyan always enjoyed the little time that the emperor took care of the children, of course, if they cried a lot, then they hugged each other.

"Zai's voice is louder. Zai Yan should be with his mother, with a quiet personality. Zhu Houzhao rubbed the heads of the two little guys and said, adding at the end, "It's all good, I like it all." ”

The two girls at the beginning also pulled up their hair, probably because they had given birth, and now they are a little plump.

Huai Yan took a cloak and came over, "It's raining and windy today, Your Majesty shouldn't catch a cold." ”

"It's okay, I'm not cold." But he didn't refuse the offer.

On the other hand, Huaixiao will also make some soft and glutinous snacks for him.

Every time the two sisters were with their mother's family, they would inquire about these things, because their father had always seen a lot of things when they went to sea and the family was in business, so they would learn how to make new things whenever they got them.

They have been in the palace for the longest time, and there was no harem at that time, Zhu Houzhao's character is a person who wants to be a husband in the harem rather than an emperor, so they also have Zhu Houzhao in their hearts, and they are more unwilling.

Of course, the food brought over must have already been tasted by someone.

Zhu Houzhao likes the two sisters, "Tonight, the child will be brought by the nurse, and you will wait for me." ”

This is a pavilion.

The sisters were ashamed,

"Your Majesty!"

It's so good to die, and there really is a little eunuch who comes over with water.

"Ahem."

These two sounds mean to be serious.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks Mao to see you."

"Xuan."

Since it was a state affair, Huaixiao and Huaiyan both understood, they each hugged their children and left under the paper umbrella held by the palace maid. The curvaceous figure made Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but admire:

Hanfu is really beautiful.

Mao Wenwen didn't dare to look up, but bowed his head to show etiquette, and then knelt down to see the emperor in the pavilion.

"Why don't you have an umbrella? Liu Jin, take something and wipe it. ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, the spring rain is all light rain, and it won't get in the way."

"Sit down."

"Yes."

After sitting down.

Zhu Houzhao didn't talk about political affairs right away, he was now scattered and idle, so he had the right to care about his subordinates, "Language, your daughter is going to be four years old, right?" ”

"Your Majesty has a good memory, and he is indeed four years old."

"Don't have a son?"

Mao Wenyu wanted to smile, but he was used to being cold-faced, and his smile was particularly ugly, "...... I tried this. ”

"I've given birth to two."

This was said with a little pride, which made Mao Wen smile bitterly.

However, the emperor has rarely talked about this with his courtiers, and Mao Wen also felt different after listening to it.

It's a communication with a confidant.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, can he not be a henchman.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with the light of the sun and the moon. How can it be compared to the candle flame of Weichen? ”

"If you give birth to three sons, then I will not be compared."

"Poof." Liu Jin was so uncomfortable that he wanted to die, but he still puffed out, and then panicked, "The slave is rude, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Laugh when you want. Laugh, it is not a capital crime in Daming. ”

Mao said softly, "Your Majesty's speech is indeed interesting. ”

Zhu Houzhao was comfortable, "I'm in a good mood today." And it was you, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was summoned, if you were an old minister in the court, you would have to sit upright. Hey, by the way, what did you do when you entered the palace to see me? ”

"Oh, Your Majesty will report to you."

On the way to Mao Yuyu, he had already asked things inside and out, and he didn't go in person, but he said that he wanted to make it clear.

Things are not complicated to say, and the emperor nodded frequently when he heard this.

"So, is that Zhang Xuan still locked up?"

"Shut it up. After that, the arraignment will definitely continue. ”

Zhu Houzhao touched his nose, "No matter what, this is also an official of the imperial court, whether it is convicted and dismissed, or exiled and killed, you must first give the court an explanation." But for the sake of safety, I still have to find someone to remind me that the edict and torture have been controlled, and lynching is even more forbidden in this place. This person is useful, but don't let them hurt him. ”

With the hundreds of words he wrote in court, Zhu Houzhao would use him.

The affairs of the land of the Ming Dynasty always had to be resolved.

Considering that Zhang Xuan has also served as the first assistant in history, in addition to his will and ideas, his means, ability and ability to do things as an official should not be comparable to ordinary people.

"Your Majesty rest assured, Weichen understands. So this case ......"

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Don't worry. See how they play. It's not that I can't rub sand in my eyes, but I must have a degree in everything. ”

Mao Yu's own degree, he himself understands, but in this matter, he doesn't know what the emperor means by 'degree'.

These people are also going to play, so let's wait a few days and see.

After the vernal equinox, the weather warms up.

Zhu Houzhao has been concerned about the Hetao recently, and has discussed with the courtiers several times about the matter of immigration.

Today's Ming Dynasty, the annual income of money and grain in 29 million stones, this is a better situation of the Ming generation, in addition, the income of sea trade has increased year after year, and overseas imports nearly 10 million taels of silver every year.

However, there are still many displaced people from all over the country.

During the Hongwu period, there were more than 8 million hectares of cultivated land in the country, and only more than 4 million hectares were left in the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, and a large amount of land was annexed or attached, and the land that did not pay taxes was less than half, but the taxes were still the same, so it was strange if there were no displaced people.

During the discussion, the celebrant came and said five words: Huai'an Mansion Express.

Liu Jin answered the call and went down the steps to pick it up.

Courtiers were also attracted.

"Go on, and you all discuss."

After Zhu Houzhao finished saying this, he opened the song, and after reading it carefully, his eyelids jumped.

The squire of the Criminal Department and the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are jointly played.

What happened in Huai'an Mansion was said, but it was not complete.

said that there is indeed a phenomenon of deducting wages, which the common people can testify to, but whether it is a deduction at the level of young government officials is not said. Because there is no evidence.

said that Zhang Xuan of Shanyang Zhixian County was imprisoned because of the reduction of grain storage in the warehouse, and also said that he strongly denied it, and the case cannot be finalized at present.

But he didn't say what Zhang Xuan wrote in court.

Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy.

He can accept that the people below are a little selfish, being an official, most of them are for themselves, but being an official can't be refined to this extent.

This method of disposition has completely forgotten the court and the people, and only cares about itself.

Being very self-conscious is called having no degree.

To put it simply, the things that Zhang Xuan wants to play are real, this kind of thing that defends the world has already been done, and if he wants to cut off Zhang Zhang's head, he still refuses to do such a 'no need to be responsible', so what is the use of this kind of official?

Syllable!

The emperor threw the recital on the imperial case.

When the courtiers heard the voice, they probably guessed that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty." Yang Yiqing saluted and shouted.

"I ......" Zhu Houzhao's eyes rolled back and forth, gritting his back molars, "I shouldn't be so angry. ”

"Huai'an Mansion...... Your Majesty, but what you said earlier about deducting wages? Wang Wei knew that this matter was in his own hands, "Weichen has sent someone to check, is this the result...... Not so good? ”

"I, I didn't understand in the past, can't the truth be revealed about the things in the world? Now I finally know that it is a nest of snakes and rats sent down by the people who sent it down! Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sighed, "It's hard for anyone to really be of the same heart with me, and there are even fewer people who forget their selfishness." ”

When Wang Wei and Wang Bing heard it, this was not right.

"The ministers are ineffective, please punish Your Majesty."

"Sir, you don't have to stay in the Jingshi, go for yourself." Zhu Houzhao pointed his index finger several times, and said a little sternly, "Go and ask these people who are sent down, whether they play truthfully or selectively." Just talk about what I can know, what is this called? Blinded Holy Hearing!! ”

The emperor's authority is getting heavier, and there is no need to shout, but only a slightly stern tone, and everyone will not dare to come out.

"Don't talk about any intricate reasons in the future. In the world of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where the roots are, what kind of entanglement they look like, and what I can't be considered by the emperor? I know that some people may not believe it, so try it. The Jinyi Guard has complied with my will and intervened in this matter.

The project money was deducted, the grain storage in the warehouse was reduced, and the problem of the difference itself. Pile pile piece by piece, be sure to be clear! Mr. ”

"The old minister is here."

"You go first, if you still don't know, I will move the court to Huai'an, just like that, see how many people can be involved!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that this matter was extremely difficult, because the emperor had said many times that there must be a result in the things he was eyeing. That's it for now.
