Please?

Brother-in-law is in trouble again?

When Zhu Biao heard this, his doubts in his heart were relieved, and he had a headache, among the three brothers-in-law of his wife's mother's family, Chang Mao, the eldest brother-in-law, was the most uneasy and the most unsettling.

The father usually looks at the face of King Kaiping and his beloved concubine Chang, and gives Chang Mao the opportunity to exercise again and again.

But Chang Mao!

got so many opportunities that ordinary people couldn't dream of, but when he got the opportunity, he didn't achieve anything.

Even at the end of last year, in the year of the expedition at the beginning of this year, Chang Mao made a great achievement, and it was also the righteous brother Mu Ying who saw his face and gave Chang Mao a chance to make meritorious service at his fingertips.

Otherwise, with Chang Mao's ability, unless the ancestral tomb smokes, it is absolutely impossible to make military exploits.

All right! Chang Mao's ability is not enough, but Chang Mao is not self-aware, and often relies on the identity of the emperor's relatives to cause trouble and act recklessly.

I used to do stupid things such as befriending Hu Weiyong.

Although he doesn't know why Chang Mao asked for guilt now, with his understanding of Chang Mao, he can let Chang Mao rush into the palace to ask for guilt, and the crime he committed is definitely not small.

It's just that he didn't know what crime Chang Mao had committed at this time, and he didn't know where to start even if he wanted to intercede, so he could only scold Chang Mao in his heart for not being angry, and then wait and see for the time being.

Anyway, Chang Mao is his eldest brother. Moreover, the eldest brother is like a father, Chang Mao has today, and he, who is a brother-in-law, also has a certain responsibility.

Zhu Yuanzhang was an accident, what kind of person Chang Mao is, outsiders don't know, but he still knows very well.

In the past, Chang Mao got into trouble and caused trouble, even if he was reprimanded by him and Zhu Biao, at most he would be stable for a period of time, and he would continue to commit it again, and he would not change his ways.

Not to mention taking the initiative to come to the palace to ask for sin.

And now Chang Mao actually took the initiative to come to the palace to ask for guilt, and it is difficult to make people not surprised.

But he was unexpected, but he didn't show it, so he pretended not to know, so he said, "Where do you start with this?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been blinded by lard these days, and they have listened to slander, not only privately making irresponsible remarks about the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes, but even privately contacting some nobles and nobles, preparing to write against commercial taxes!"

Chang Mao said ashamedly: "As a prince, the minister not only failed to be loyal to the emperor, but instead pulled the emperor's hind legs and lost the face of the royal family."

"Now that the ministers have woken up, they know that their sins are deep and unforgivable, so please punish the emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was another accident, a few days ago, he learned from the intelligence played by Jinyiwei that Chang Mao privately opposed some complaints against commercial taxes, and even heard the news that Chang Mao privately contacted some nobles who opposed the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes.

Although he was very dissatisfied, he didn't show it, waiting for Chang Mao and those nobles who opposed the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes to take the initiative to jump out against commercial taxes, and they were making calculations.

But he never expected to wait until the end, and instead of waiting for Chang Mao to jump out against the commercial tax, he waited for Chang Mao to ask for guilt.

When Zhu Biao heard Chang Mao's words, he was both a little anxious and relieved, and when he was anxious, Chang Mao privately contacted Xungui to oppose the imperial court's commercial taxes. It was also a loss to Chang Mao and other nobles to write a letter against commercial taxes.

Otherwise, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the father and cause trouble.

The reason for the relief is that Chang Mao is still clever, there is no way to go to the dark, and there is still room for salvation.

I couldn't help but reprimand, "Do you know the depth of sin? Whether the imperial court levies commercial taxes or not, how can you make irresponsible remarks?"

"Father, Chang Mao committed a big crime, although it did not cause serious consequences, but the guilt must be punished, and the son suggested that Chang Mao be taken away from his official position, and he was ordered to think about it behind closed doors."

"Chang Mao, who asked you to ask for sin?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, then at Chang Mao, and said in silence for a moment.

With his understanding of Chang Mao, no matter how he looks at it, Chang Mao is not the kind of person who can take the initiative to enter the palace to ask for sin, especially at this juncture, entering the palace to ask for sin.

To put it mildly, Chang Mao doesn't have the eyesight.

Zhu Biao's heart moved, yes! When did the brother-in-law take the initiative to ask for sin, even if he was in trouble, he was forced to ask for sin. This time, however, he privately contacted other nobles to oppose the commercial tax.

If he doesn't say it, who knows.

And he obviously did it, but when it came to the end, he regretted it, and if he wanted to say that no one mentioned it, he wouldn't believe it.

Thinking about it, he looked at Chang Mao, wondering who mentioned Chang Mao.

Chang Mao was still thinking about whether to hide it, but seeing the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he gave up the plan to conceal it, and said weakly: "The minister didn't dare to deceive the emperor, it was the minister's cousin Lan Bin who woke up the minister and asked the minister to enter the palace to ask for guilt!"

It turned out to be a cousin, and let the brother-in-law enter the palace to ask for guilt.

That's right, although my cousin is young, no matter how he behaves or does things, he is more than several times stronger than his brother-in-law.

And it also attaches great importance to love and righteousness.

If you know what your brother-in-law did, you will definitely not look at your brother-in-law, make mistakes again and again, and finally anger your father.

Zhu Biao was stunned, when he looked at Chang Mao again, how unpleasant he looked, his brother-in-law was also in his thirties, and he was not even as good as a child.

Simply....

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and said with interest, "How did he wake you up?"

Lan Bin's ability and character, he knows.

He was not surprised that Lan Bin knew about Chang Mao and would stop Chang Mao, but he was very curious about what Lan Bin said, which could make Chang Mao wake up and take the initiative to enter the palace to ask for guilt.

"My cousin said that the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and the ministers and nobles are resting with the country, and there is no reason to oppose it. He also said that the minister only cares about the immediate interests, forgetting that the minister is not only a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but also a royal prince..."

Chang Mao was stupid and would not say the taboo words that Lan Bin said, but he picked and chose what Lan Bin had advised before and what he advised today.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Among the nobles, if there are a few more insightful and capable people like Lan Bin, we will have a lot of peace of mind!"

"Yes! Although my cousin is young, he is smart and decisive, and his knowledge is extraordinary, and he can be said to be a pillar of the imperial court." Zhu Biao echoed.

Chang Mao heard Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao praise Lan Bin, and he felt very uncomfortable, although he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang and the two were not wrong, but thinking that they were also royal relatives, Lan Bin was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was so praised by the emperor and the prince.

And he is older than Lan Bin for a round, and he doesn't say in private that he has been praised by the emperor and the prince, and everything will be fine if he is not scolded.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, glanced at Zhu Biao, and suddenly a thought popped up in his heart and said, "Biao'er, why don't you let Lan Bin go to your East Palace!?"

According to his original plan, he was going to leave Lan Bin to Zhu Xiongying. But with Lan Bin's talent and insight, he felt that it was too much waste to pressure Lan Bin so much.

Besides, the court is too short of people, and it is not necessary to put such a big talent as Lan Bin, how uncomfortable it is.

"Father, never! My cousin is still young, and it is not advisable to pull out the seedlings to help them grow!" Zhu Biao almost didn't want to think.
