Yingtianfu, Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

Xia Yuan Jidu was crazy with joy, and he danced and reported to Zhu Di the gold, silver and property that the household department had collected from the treasury this time.

In the past, Xia Yuanji was not a meticulous and unsmiling appearance, but it was almost the same, after all, he was throwing face at people most of the time, and after a long time, almost everyone felt that Xia Yuanji was a serious and unkind person.

Even Zhu Di is the same.

Today, Zhu Di knew that Xia Yuanji would also talk happily, and he would also describe the loot with his hands.

"Finished?" Looking at Xia Yuanji, who was finally quiet, but still a little out of breath, Zhu Di asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all over." Xia Yuanji realized that he had lost his temper just now, and his old face was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded, stood up, and personally poured Xia Yuanji a cup of tea.

"It should have been ten years since you took over the burden of the Tobe Shangshu, right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it will be eleven years soon." Natsuhara replied with a bow.

"Yes, it's been eleven years......" Zhu Di sat back in his exclusive position, his eyes a little confused.

"It's been eleven years, I've never seen you so happy in the past eleven years, in my impression, you are a miser, a person who asks you for money and you cover the money bag and say no."

"However, it wasn't until now that I realized that you would be happy because of the Tobe affair......"

"Your Majesty laughed." Xia Yuanji straightened up, although the expression on his face was not elated, but it was definitely not unsmiling.

"Wechen is the secretary of the household department, and the affairs of this household department Weichen naturally have to worry about."

"The money of the household department is less, and the foundation of the representative Ming is thin, so Weichen will naturally not be happy."

"There is more money in the household department, which means that the Ming Dynasty is moving towards prosperity, and Weichen is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he will be happy about this."

"Yes, you are also a human ......" Zhu Di sighed, his eyelids drooping.

"You've been a household secretary for eleven years, and I've never seen you show favoritism, and this is the first time."

"Your Majesty, please punish you." Xia Yuanji put the teacup aside and knelt down very calmly to plead guilty.

"You're confessing." Zhu Di was amused by Xia Yuanji's appearance.

"Okay, get up, I didn't call you here today to ask about the sins, if it is really the sin of the sins, then you can't wait for me to summon you over."

"Let's talk about the extra batch of supplies you gave to Zhan Yan."

"Back to Your Majesty." Xia Yuanji stood up very calmly, not nervous at all.

"Although it is not on the list, the supplies approved by Weichen are all in the order of the household department, and there is absolutely no problem."

"If there is, it can only be that there is a problem in transportation."

-----------------

Ying Tian's side is quite calm, Xia Yuanji can be said to have worked hard, and Zhu Di also knows that his careful thinking is nothing more than hoping to generate income for the household, so he didn't pursue it too seriously.

But it's different in other ways.

After this incident, there were a lot fewer people in the household department, the military department, the engineering department, and the official department, and their colleagues did not know where they went, only that they were very sudden and did not deserve their value.

Someone asked about it, but everyone's reaction was the same, secretive.

But Zhu Zhanyan is different.

The old man will not ask Xia Yuanji for his guilt, and he will not either, but some old men will not ask for guilt, they will only send someone to warn him, and he will not either.

Because he'll go straight to the door.

North Korea, Hanyang.

Although Korea had almost no advantage in the war against the Japanese, no matter which country it was, the capital city would always be a whitewashed existence.

Zhu Zhanyan was dressed in armor, carrying a saber at his waist, and with nearly a hundred guards, he strode into the Korean palace, and the guards at the gate of the palace had the intention to stop him, but in the end he didn't dare to speak.

It was the rule that you were not allowed to ride a horse or carry a sword in the palace, but the question was to whom the rules were direct.

If it were normal times, Zhu Zhanyan would abide by this unspoken rule, although he was not afraid of North Korea, but he would still do what he should do.

But today is different.

The crown prince of North Korea, Li Chun, privately seized the supplies of the Ming army, which is a big or small matter.

If the Ming side has the heart to let it go, then this matter is very easy to say, because although Li Zhen is the crown prince of North Korea, it is already a sure thing to be deposed.

Every generation of kings of North Korea must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty before ascending the throne, so every candidate for the crown prince of North Korea is registered on the Ming side.

If the Ming Dynasty does not agree, it is useless for North Korea to appoint another crown prince, because if it is not recognized and canonized by the Ming Dynasty, the Korean families will overthrow this king.

North Korea has reported the matter of another prince to Daming before, but Daming has not replied to the letter, and North Korea has not implemented it.

If Daming has the heart to let it go, then this matter will basically end with North Korea compensating something.

But if the Ming Dynasty has the heart to make trouble, it will be difficult to say about North Korea.

Now Zhu Zhan is leading troops to the east to conquer the Japanese Kou, if the Ming Dynasty has the heart to make trouble, this side can immediately turn the gun and aim at North Korea, and at the same time, Daning, Kaiping and other guards will also send troops.

When the time comes, there is no need to say what will happen to North Korea, which is being attacked from both sides.

Li Fangyuan led people and hurriedly greeted him.

As early as when Zhu Zhanqi entered the city, he received the news, after all, he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not an ordinary prince, plus North Korea made a mistake first, where did Li Fangyuan dare to be like last time?

"His Royal Highness ...... the Prince"

Li Fangyuan was not afraid of embarrassment, and in the face of Zhu Zhanyan, who was one level lower than him and was only a county king, he directly used the honorific title.

At this time, face is secondary, and keeping the ancestral foundation is the most important.

"What about people?" Zhu Zhanyan stood still, smiled slightly, moved his left hand, and the sound of the crotch knife on his waist made Li Fangyuan tremble.

"Don't tell this son, you still want to cover up?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is just a word." Li Fangyuan laughed with him, not at all like the lord of a country.

"If such a major event happens, we naturally won't think about covering it up, but Your Royal Highness the Prince ......"

"Oh?"

Zhu Zhanyan laughed, very bright, at least Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping had never seen Zhu Zhanyan smile so brightly after this expedition to the Japanese Kingdom.

"I'm not going to cover it up, so what are you doing here?"

There was a very piercing sound of unsheathing, and the hundred guards behind Zhu Zhan Yan unsheathed their long knives and pointed directly at Li Fangyuan in front.

Li Fangyuan was suddenly embarrassed.

Each class has its own rules, and there are many unspeakable, but real, unspoken rules.

As the saying goes, leave a line for doing things, and see each other well in the future, and people at this level will rarely do things absolutely, and they will more or less leave some leeway.

When he first met Zhu Zhanyan, an unreasonable Li Fangyuan, he immediately became numb.
