Wuying Palace.

Boss Zhu is reading the post reply with great interest.

For a workaholic like him, reading the recitals is usually a pleasure. He can do it all day without getting tired.

But there are exceptions, such as when he sees the kind of long exposition that looks for chapters and excerpts and quotes scriptures, he feels that his head is as big as a fight.

One is that his own culture is not high, and it is very difficult to read those condescending tirades. The second is that he has a lot of opportunities and a strong feeling that there is not enough time, so he hopes that the minister can use the shortest time to explain what he is going to say. In this way, he can be more productive.

For this reason, as early as the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he repeatedly asked the ministers to 'state the facts, not red tape, and if the offender is guilty'.

That is to say, the ministers should be straightforward and concise, and whoever dares to say something useless at length will have to fuck your mother!

However, over the years, there has been a precedent for ministers to be punished for being too lengthy in the recital, because the ministers went their own way and began to show off their literary style and wanton irrigation on the recital, which made Boss Zhu have a burst of blood pressure soaring.

Today, Boss Zhu received another piece as thick as a book...... He estimated it and found that there were 18,000 to 20,000 words.

If he reads this thick book, Zhu Yuanzhang estimates that he won't have to do anything else today.

Looking at the inscription of the chapter again, Ru Taisu, the director of the Criminal Department.

"Damn, the old habitual offender ......" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded secretly, in fact, this Ru Taisu has a very good character, no favoritism, integrity, and very strong ability, and he has a political reputation when he served as a local prosecutor, so Zhu Yuanzhang promoted him to the squire of the Criminal Department.

But I didn't expect that this person has a very annoying problem, that is, he likes books and words.

It's just a random post, and every time it is still stinky and long, and it is easy to say thousands of words, which makes Boss Zhu very annoyed, so he was removed from the criminal department and directly demoted to the main matter.

Unexpectedly, Ru Taisu still went his own way, and he would write a book of 10,000 words if he had nothing to do.

So as soon as he saw the name, Boss Zhu directly threw it to Wang Min, the Zhongshulang on the side, and asked him to read it to himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Wang Min's recitation while watching other movements, and almost an hour passed, and Boss Zhu didn't hear a useful sentence, all of which were a lot of semantic, complicated, and empty nonsense!

Boss Zhu was so angry that he threw the notebook in his hand on the table, which scared Wang Min for a while.

"Fuck! Let's emphasize again and again, if you have something to say, don't fart! Otherwise, you will be punished! This Ru Taisu is just a deaf ear, it seems that if you don't give him a little bit of power, you won't be able to stop this crooked wind! ”

As he spoke, he instructed left and right: "Bring us that Ru Taisu!" ”

~~

The prince picked up the sixth child, and when the chariot returned to the noon gate, he met poor Ru Taisu being tortured......

At this time, I have played more than 20 boards, and my stomach is rotten.

Seeing the car of His Royal Highness the Prince, the eunuch who was in charge of the execution hurriedly stopped the court staff, and the executioner with the knife and the person knelt down to greet him.

The prince lifted the curtain, glanced at the blue-robed official lying on the ground, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The prison eunuch said with a strange smile: "Back to Your Highness, this official is the head of the Criminal Department, called Ru Taisu, because the chapter written is too long, which annoyed the emperor, and ordered him to be given forty rods." ”

"Ru Taisu, I know." Zhu Zhen on the side suddenly spoke: "The golden cup is drunk together, and the white blades are not forgiving." ”

The crown prince didn't understand the meaning of the sixth child's words, but still followed his words and said: "Look, the king of Chu knows that he is a good official, so you should suspend the execution first, and wait for the palace to persuade your father." ”

"Hey, the prince is really a bodhisattva." The prison eunuch hurriedly agreed.

Of course, the prince didn't mean to discuss with him, and he gave the order directly......

~~

Zhu Biao asked people to take Zhu Xiongying back to Chunhe Palace, and he and the sixth child went to Wuying Palace.

In the Wuying Palace, Boss Zhu had already put his unhappiness behind him, and continued to read and reply to the post with great interest.

Until Gonggong Wu said that the crown prince brought His Royal Highness the King of Chu back.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head from the case, laughed happily and got up to greet him.

"Sixth, why did you run back?"

Zhu Zhen kowtowed to his father, got up and said, "It's nothing, I just miss my father, come back and take a look." ”

"Nonsense, you just miss your cow, and you won't miss your father." Boss Zhu was very self-aware, pinched his son's chin and said, "Good guy, the food is good." ”

Zhu Zhen was not happy, and said in his heart that he didn't eat your food......

"Let me interject first." Fortunately, the prince diverted the topic and said: "Father, because the chapter is too long, you beat the Ru Taisuting staff?" ”

"Ah, he doesn't write anything long, and his useless writing is so cumbersome that he gets upset." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "But if he just talks too much nonsense, we will beat him up to twenty times, but in his recital, there are still false words and clever words, and I am very tired of it." ”

As he spoke, he found Ru Taisu's recital, and after a long time, he finally found the sentence 'A talented man, there are no survivors for several years, and he is now appointed as a Confucian and vulgar official.' ’

"Look, what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What do you mean by 'talented people, there are only one hundred people who have survived in the past few years, and the officials who are appointed now are either pedantic Confucian scholars or vulgar officials?'" What is he alluding to? Empty seal case? ”

"Let's order someone to call Ru Taisu and ask him to tell us, among the more than 200 people in their criminal department, which ones are pedantic Confucian students, and which ones are vulgar officials?"

Boss Zhu continued: "That Ru Taisu didn't expect us to ask like this, and said hesitantly, 'There are so many officials in the Criminal Department, and not all the ministers know each other, so I just said it in general terms, and I didn't specifically blame anyone. ”

"You said that he didn't even know all the officials of the Criminal Department, so he dared to talk nonsense here, and it was useless to talk about it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Let's push him out, the court staff is forty, you two say that you are not wronged." ”

"I don't know." Zhu Zhen is very sincere.

"That's not too wrong." Zhu Biao sighed lightly and said: "But my father must know that what he said was just a discussion of literati expressing their feelings, and the purpose was to lead to the following content. As long as you don't name names, you can't take it seriously. ”

"There's no content behind him." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a good airway.

"Let Erchen read it." Zhu Biao quickly flipped through this thick book.

But the hurtful power of nonsense literature is fair to everyone. Zhu Biao was also short of breath when he saw it, and he couldn't wait to smoke the two of them......

It was estimated that the prince would not be able to finish watching it for a while, so Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Zhen aside and asked him with a smile about his experience during this time.

Zhu Zhen repeated the words to the prince to Boss Zhu.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed greatly, he hugged his neck, and whispered to discuss: "After going to see your mother and concubine later, you are in danger in Kaijing, especially the matter of the Huo and Yuan envoys, so don't mention it." ”

"Why?" Zhu Zhen blinked, looking ignorant.
