Chapter 298: Fengyang Mansion

In addition, there are also a group of unqualified officials who have also mixed into the team of officials, for this group of people, Zhu Di said that this time they are also ready to clear out, so as not to continue to do evil in the local area.

Zhu Yuanzhang can also understand Zhu Di's worries, in the past, the total number of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty was only tens of thousands.

Xu officials did not need to be paid by the Ming court, but now there has been a sudden increase of nearly 600,000 officials, although the salaries of these people are not high, but they are a little too much.

That is, there are all kinds of benefits brought about by the change of law, and many of the benefits of the change law will be invested in water conservancy construction and road construction in various places.

Zhu Di, as the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was also under great pressure and had to vent his bitterness to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang still agreed with Zhu Di's idea, but he was not in a hurry to do it in advance, and he would talk about it after he returned to Beijing.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished writing a letter replying to Zhu Di, he heard Zhu Gaochi outside cheering there.

"Imperial grandfather, Fengyang has arrived!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit lifted up a little, has he already arrived in Fengyang?

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this will probably be the first and only time he will go out of the palace to inspect the world.

Taking this opportunity, he also hopes to go back to his hometown to have a look, appreciate the customs of his hometown, and worship the ancestral tombs and imperial tombs by the way.

This was originally the proper meaning of this trip, and without even waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to mention it, the Ministry of Rites added this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang's itinerary very slowly.

In fact, the ancestral mausoleum is not enough, the imperial mausoleum is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang's biological parents are buried.

It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to come and take a look, and by the way, take a look at the Fengyang Palace, which was repaired at a great price.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just walked to the border of Fengyang Mansion, and Liu Ying, the prefect of Fengyang Mansion and the Marquis of Yihui, had already come to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage early, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage and horse were not slow, otherwise I would have to wait for several hours.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Liu Ying, the Marquis of Yihui, was also here, and he felt a little nauseous.

Originally, he was grateful to Liu Jizu for borrowing a piece of land back then, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could bury his parents, and posthumously named his son Liu Ying as the Marquis of Yihui, hoping that their family could enjoy wealth and prosperity together with Daming Guozuo.

But Liu Jizu's sons are too unreasonable, and Liu Ying, who inherited the title, is fine, but that Liu Chun, Zhu Yuanzhang is angry when he thinks about it.

More than ten years ago, let him be a magistrate of the county, and he was tyrannical and rape in the local area

Woman, he lost his father's face.

Liu Chun also relied on his father's credit, and kept jumping there, and in the end, Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him, but he also made a decision in his heart, don't think about inheriting this branch of Yihuihou.

The contemporary Yihui Marquis Liu Ying is also ignorant, and he interceded for his younger brother at the beginning, since he wants to be a brother, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely satisfy him, as for whether the result is good or not, then another story.

Liu Ying is now standing outside the big tent, and he is also very worried in his heart, when he helped his younger brother Liu Chun to intercede, he was very proud at first, but after being pointed out, he found that he was very wrong.

Of course, he can use his father's affection to beg Zhu Yuanzhang to spare his brother's life, but his affection will naturally be light.

Without this affection, will the future emperor take their Liu family to heart?

It's all unknown.

Although he regretted it later, he couldn't find a chance to see Zhu Yuanzhang, so he could only regret it in his heart.

This time he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to return to his hometown, Liu Ying was the most excited one, he just wanted to take this opportunity to behave well in front of His Majesty and the emperor and grandson, and he must not let the heavenly family forget his home.

After entering the big tent, Liu Ying couldn't wait to kneel down and shout.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is a little complicated, on the one hand, he is very reluctant to see this brainless person, but he is also the descendant of his family's benefactor.

In the end, he is old and prefers to recall the past, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little moist, and he said with emotion.

"If you have a heart, you all get up, after worshipping the imperial tomb this time, I will also go to the mausoleum of Xianyi Huihou to have a look."

As soon as he said this, the Fengyang prefect and the three elders in that group of places all cried one after another, and kept praising His Majesty's kindness, so many years have passed, and they can still remember this little thing.

As for how jealous they are of Yihuihou Liu Ying's family in their hearts, that's another matter.

It was almost noon, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a banquet very happily, and asked Zhu Gaochi to accompany him during the banquet, holding Liu Ying's hand to ask for warmth, and toasting these local villagers from time to time.

These villagers are also very interesting, never mentioning the resentment of being forced to move to Fengyang at the beginning, only talking about the various benefits of Fengyang Mansion, which is worthy of being the emperor's hometown.

But the actual situation of Fengyang, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not count it in his heart?

It's all just a show.

At this time, He Qiu received a message that Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and Tang He, the Duke of Xinguo, wanted to ask to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Feng Sheng!

Since he was falsely accused by Chang Mao before, he has been snubbed by Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and he has been honestly staying in Fengyang in the past few years.

I don't know what happened this time, but He Qiu didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly entered the tent, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and quietly reported the matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks, and the whole banquet was silent for a while.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang whispered to He Qiu.

"You can lead them to the Chinese army first, and I will meet them later."

Everyone at the banquet also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang had something else to do, and before he finished eating, he found a reason to leave.

Only then was Zhu Yuanzhang able to clear up a little, and he had time to summon Tang He and Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is very complicated, Feng Sheng's credit is much greater than Lan Yu's, when Chang Mao falsely accused Feng Sheng, would Zhu Yuanzhang not know the inside story?

He also wanted to take down Feng Sheng for this reason.

Zhu Gaochi sat beside Zhu Yuanzhang obediently, helped him pinch his shoulders, and didn't let Zhu Yuanzhang wait too long, Tang He and Feng Sheng came hand in hand.

As soon as they met, Tang He said with a full heart.

"Your Majesty, if you want to inspect the world, you can't forget to bring our old brothers!"

Feng Sheng also chimed in.

"The minister knows that he is guilty, but if such a major matter is simply handed over to Lan Yu and Li Jinglong, the minister really can't rest assured."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a few smiles on his face, and said with a smile.

"Do you know what you're thinking? Didn't Dingchen say that he was old and frail and unbearable, so he returned to his hometown? What's the matter, now that I'm sick, I'm cured? ”

Tang He said with a smile.

"Your Majesty Shengming, this illness is so coincidental, just when His Majesty is going to inspect the world, it will be fine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sigh.

"Okay, I'll promise you, and you two will go with you."

Tang He and Feng Sheng were a little happy on their faces, they were so old, why did they want to follow Zhu Yuanzhang to inspect the world?

Feelings are naturally part of the reason, but I also want to show my face in front of Zhu Yuanzhang again, so that the future emperor will not forget about his two families.

Especially Feng Sheng, this is what he is most worried about, he is still guilty now.
