[Some settings related to the work have been updated, including the imperial inheritance, the setting of civil and military officials, and the setting of the army, you can take a look.] 】

"The old man asked you to look at me, you don't know what to say, what to say and what not to say, you have to think clearly!"

"If I am punished, don't think about it!"

This was Zhu Jinghong's whispered words to the prince when he and his entourage had just arrived in Jinling and Li Wenzhao was greeted by Jinling officials.

There is no doubt that he has been threatened, and he has no temper at all.

It is precisely because this errand is tricky that Li Wenzhao made a special request that he personally review Zhu Jinghong's information.

"How did Ying Tianfu deal with it?" Li Wenzhao asked.

"Ying Tianfu released the uncle of the Xue family, detained a small squire involved, and is now being tortured!"

Hearing this, Li Wenzhao's eyes widened: "Jia Yucun is crazy? The Xue family and the Jia family are in-laws, but they would not let Jia Yucun take such care of them, and dare to despise the Thirteenth Master because of this! ”

Obviously, Jia Yucun made up the Ying Tianzhi Mansion, and Li Wenzhao was very clear about the doorway inside.

Baihu replied: "Jia Yucun is not in the government, it is the meaning of the official Hu Jin'an!" ”

"Hu Jin'an? He's crazy too? ”

Baihu replied again: "The Thirteenth Master did not reveal his identity, so they dared!" ”

"These people are in trouble!" Li Wenzhao sighed.

Tapping his fingers on the table, Li Wenzhao thought for a while, and said: "This matter can't be hidden, but we must find out the cause and effect clearly, and then report it to the Lord!" ”

Lord, the reference is naturally the emperor, and the emphasis is on the relationship between master and servant, rather than the normal relationship between monarch and minister.

In today's Ming Dynasty, only the 24 yamen of the inner court and the bureaus in the palace, as well as the 22 guards of the Shangzhi pro-army, can be called the emperor in this way.

"Yes!" Baihu replied, and then exited the room.

Li Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.

"These masters are fighting, we are not having a good time!"

…………

When Li Wenzhao sighed, the two brothers of Ying Tianxing Palace were having dinner.

In the side hall, the dishes on the dining table are not rich, just eight dishes and one soup, but it is enough for two people to eat.

Zhu Jinghong ate deliciously, raised his eyes to see Zhu Jingyuan with a sad face, and then said: "I said fourth brother, you are eating!" ”

Seeing that the prince brother still hadn't moved, Zhu Jinghong beckoned the palace maid on the side: "Hurry up and pick up the vegetables for the fourth brother, just that lion's head...... And meatballs! ”

Maybe he really had no appetite, Zhu Jingyuan raised his hand to stop the palace maid's actions, and said at the same time: "You all retreat!" ”

There are not many people in the room in total, and now let these palace maids go down, obviously Zhu Jingyuan has something to say.

After everyone retreated, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help asking: "Thirteenth brother, Wang Qun and Zhang Qiuyou, what are you going to do?" ”

"Check the accounts of their county government first, if there is a shortfall, first convict them of greedy ink, plus the crime of disrespect to them today, and sentence them to be exempted from official exile......"

"Thirteenth brother, this is too much!" Zhu Jingyuan took over the words, and his expression was even more worried.

Putting down the chopsticks, Zhu Jinghong said: "Fourth brother, we want to be prestigious, otherwise how can we be prestigious?" ”

"This ......"

"Now that the people are locked up in Jinyiwei Prison, and let them handle the case, you don't have to worry about it, fourth brother!"

Zhu Jingyuan's heart was very fragile and difficult to accept the big changes, even if Zhu Jinghong was so appeased, he still felt anxious at the moment.

Picking up the teacup on the side, Zhu Jingyuan asked with a solemn face: "Then what should we do next?" ”

"The treasury will investigate these things, and the dust will settle in half a month, we just need to wait, and someone will supervise and track it down!"

"The old man asked the fourth brother to come to Jinling, the most important errand is to suppress the widows, how is the battle situation of the Jinling Dusi, do you know the fourth brother?"

Without the advance mobilization of grain and grass, the range of operations of the guards was narrow, so that it was difficult to exterminate the Japanese in one fell swoop.

What's even more difficult is that if they can't win the war, they can retreat to the sea, and it is even more difficult for the imperial court sailors to eradicate them.

"This matter is coordinated by the Jinling Metropolitan Division, and I haven't had time to ask about it yet!" Zhu Jingyuan replied.

didn't even get the civil officials done, so Zhu Jingyuan naturally didn't go to deal with the military attachés, and only hastily met the generals of the Jinling Metropolitan Division a few days ago.

"The Japanese have been making trouble for more than 100 years, and the ups and downs are difficult to eliminate, and it can't be done by relying on Jinling Dusi!"

Gao Shuyan has ideas on other things, and they don't know anything about fighting, so they haven't discussed it in depth.

"So how do you do that?"

"At least in the near future, we have to figure out the situation of the battle!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Jinghong continued: "For example...... Where are the Japanese invaders, and what is the plan of the Jinling Metropolitan Division now? Is the army fully prepared! ”

Nodding, Zhu Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, gather the people of the Jinling Metropolitan Division and let them explain the situation of the suppression!" ”

"Fourth brother, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be too rushed, it's best to let all the guards send people over and give the plan to suppress the widows!" Zhu Jinghong replied casually, but he was actually extremely cautious in his heart.

Since the current emperor succeeded to the throne in a coup d'état, it has become taboo for the prince to take charge of the army, so even if he is authorized to quell the rebellion, Zhu Jingyuan rarely summons the capital.

Even Zhu Jingyuan is avoiding suspicion, and Zhu Jinghong, as an outsider, naturally wants to get rid of his involvement, so he pretends not to care.

But as a young man in the new era, Zhu Jinghong is well aware of the importance of the army, so he will find ways to get in touch.

"Hmm... Reasonable! Zhu Jingyuan nodded, he didn't think as deeply as Zhu Jingyuan.

"Then three days later, summon the generals of Jinling to discuss the matter, what do you think?"

Looking at the fourth brother with a serious face, Zhu Jinghong didn't know what to say, you are always the prince!

"Fourth brother, you're decided!" Zhu Jinghong smiled.

According to the memory of his predecessor, Zhu Jinghong knew that there were eyes and ears everywhere around him, so he also had to avoid suspicion.

Just when the two brothers were silent, they heard someone outside the house say: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, Jinyiwei sent an excerpt, saying that it was a joint letter from the two magistrates!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but admire Wang Qun and the others, they were really trying their best to save themselves.

"Bring it in!"

After a while, the excerpt appeared in Zhu Jingyuan's hand, and after he read it, he handed it to Zhu Jinghong.

Originally, he just wanted to cook well, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so Zhu Jinghong still looked at it carefully.

To be honest, these officials who were born on the right path of Kejia really write good articles.

The content in the excerpt, that is called a sincere love, that is called a lost and returned, so that Zhu Jinghong almost believed it.

"Thirteenth brother, or ......"

Seeing that Zhu Jingyuan was about to soften his heart again, Zhu Jinghong hurriedly spoke: "Fourth brother, this matter can't be changed, there is no need to discuss...... Otherwise, all the work will be wasted! ”

"Their crimes are judged by the laws of the country, if it is useful to admit their mistakes and remorse, then what should the law do?"

Zhu Jingyuan is benevolent to such an extent, no wonder there are many bases in the government and the opposition, who doesn't want to have a kind boss, especially under the current emperor.

Picking up the book of remorse, Zhu Jinghong threw it to the ground with contempt, and then said: "If they really know their mistakes, they should ask for guilt and accept punishment in the text, and how can they be bent on avoiding punishment!" ”

"Fourth brother, such duplicitous people must be strict in order to convince the public!"

Zhu Jingyuan sighed: "I don't know what you said, I just can't bear it!" ”

"Fourth brother, you have been in the palace for a long time, and you don't know the people's livelihood and suffering, so you will be tolerant of officials in every way!"

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was full of seriousness, Zhu Jingyuan smiled and said: "You know what people's livelihood is suffering, don't you stay in the palace all the time, could it be that you have gained some knowledge when you left the palace for a day yesterday?" ”

Zhu Jinghong was stunned for a while, and he really stopped him by saying this.
