First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 336 Unpredictable People's Hearts

Chang Luohua's face turned red immediately, and he stared blankly at the moon-white dragon-patterned skirt and his husband's white neck, Zhu Biao's head was on her temples, and his whole body was pressed against her.

Zhu Biao frowned suspiciously when he smelled the fragrance from Chang Luohua's body, he shouldn't, it was difficult for him to show his hand, even his father, queen and queen couldn't resist when he was a child, and he responded to every request.

Chang Luohua suddenly felt that he was dreaming, and the majestic crown prince in his heart came to life, and it was no longer the cold and hard image of berating Fang Qiu and pointing the country.

Before Zhu Biao could speak, Chang Luohua blushed and hurriedly got up and walked out: "No...don't be angry anymore, my concubine will go out for a walk with my master."

Zhu Biao looked at the flustered little woman, followed her and teased a few words in a low voice, which made her walk faster, and then coughed a few times, closed his soft eyebrows, and walked out with his hands behind his back. It doesn't matter if you talk privately, but it is impossible for him to be so frivolous in front of his servants.

After leaving the main hall, the two of them resumed their usual tranquility. They took a walk in the East Palace at a distance of not too far. The golden sunlight slanting towards the west of the setting sun swayed on the blue glazed tiles of the East Palace. The blooming flowers and plants exuded fragrance. Suddenly, a group of quiet court ladies and eunuchs surrounded a young couple wandering in the vast courtyard.

The Eastern Palace has been continuously expanded for more than three years. It is far more magnificent than when Zhu Biao moved here. It was not temporarily stopped until Chang Luohua became pregnant, and it was far from reaching the specifications expected by Li Shanchang back then.

When it was almost time, Chang Luohua went back to the palace to rest, while Zhu Biao went to the Wenhua Palace. He slept quite contentedly just now, but now he is not sleepy anymore. After finishing the trivial matters, I picked up the unsealed secret letter.

These were all passed on by the imperial envoys of the lower regions through the General Secretary, and they went directly to Tianting without going through the Zhongshu, just to ensure that they would not startle the snakes.

First, there was a secret letter sent by Kaiji, the Minister of Criminal Affairs of the leading officer of this inspection, which stated that he had already inspected Yangzhou. He has been severely punished. After the trial of the detailed case, he will be reported to the Supreme Master through the Ministry of Criminal Justice. And he is going south to Suzhou. He will also make unannounced visits to the states and counties he passes through on the way. He will never miss a lawbreaker. At the end of the letter is a list loyalty.

Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and casually picked up the Moyutuan dragon pendant beside him. Can this person's words be trusted? Is Yangzhou really stable? This person wouldn't be accepting bribes and then randomly pick out a few small officials to pretend to be?

Yangzhou was originally Yang Xian's base. After Yang Xian's death, the magistrate of Yangzhou was beheaded by the company. Now Zhu Biao is Hu Weiyong's disciple, and Zhu Biao heard that the minister of punishment, Kaiji, was quite close to Hu Weiyong when he was in court. thick.

Could it be that the father was fishing? No, Hu Weiyong hasn't grown fat yet, and it's far from the time for slaughter. It's too early for fishing, or is there really no problem?

Zhu Biao sighed. It was really not easy to find out the local affairs. Unless it made the sky angry and the people complained, otherwise the secret investigation would not find anything. There is no intersection between the common people and the officials. They are completely two classes.

Zhu Biao read the letters of other imperial envoys. Han Yike, the imperial imperial envoy who went to De'an Mansion, was the most sharp-tongued, proving the guilt of local officials for imposing exorbitant taxes and selling women. Attack, Yan Yan hoped that the court would immediately arrest the officials headed by the prefect of De'an and punish them with severe sentences.

After Zhu Biao has read it all, he let out a sigh of relief. At present, there are hundreds of officials involved, and these are only the state capitals near the capital. It is conceivable that the more you go out, the higher the level of corruption will be. Daming is swept away like this. Even if only superficial officials who broke the law were found, there would have to be nearly 10,000 people.

There have to be a lot of imperial censors involved. My father and emperor don't trust them so much. Every team must have at least two or three eyeliners. They don't care about the local officials, they only focus on whether their chief officials are there. bribery.

Those Guozijian students are just a decoration on the surface. What can a group of them who have just left the academy know? Those old-fashioned officials can easily turn them around.

Tens of thousands of lives were lost. Zhu Biao reckoned that Li Wenzhong would not have suffered such a large number of casualties when he led his troops into the grasslands. After all, it was just for fun, and Wala did not expand to the point where they really wanted to fight to the death with Ming. Their real opponent was the Tatars. , not Daming.

At this moment, Liu Jin served a cup of hot tea: "Master, excuse me for talking too much, since the empress has already issued a decree, would you like to send some gifts to Miss Li and Princess Gaoli, after all..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Biao said: "You can figure it out, just pick a few suitable ones from the bag and send them over."

Liu Jin bowed to her promise, although she was not a princess, but she was of extraordinary background, for the harmony of the East Palace, it is better to send some gifts to show her importance. The Crown Princess will definitely express that there is nothing wrong with the Crown Prince's side, and he is not a passerby, and they will live together for a lifetime in the future.

After a while, Zhu Biaoxia read everything he needed to know, stood up and moved a few times and asked casually: "How is the arrangement at Guiyihou's place, can someone come to disturb you?"

Liu Jin bowed and replied: "We all know that His Majesty and His Highness are watching. No one dares to make trouble at this juncture. Guiyihou's family has already settled down, right next to Guidehou's mansion."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "It's okay for Ming Sheng to say, he's just a weak scholar. I heard that Guide Hou Chen Li is not very peaceful?"

After Chen Youliang's death, Zhang Dingbian and others set up Chen Li in Wuchang and proclaimed himself emperor. This guy was the Shoude Emperor who had been a big Han for a year.

Liu Jin replied with a smile: "Mr. Guide has been very nervous lately. I heard that he boasted wantonly when he was having fun in the brothel in Beijing. It just so happens that the next door is the noble son who just came back from Fengyang. The two sides fought because of the strength of wine."

Zhu Biao was also happy when he heard the words. Those guys are cute and sensible in front of him, but they are the second generation after all. They don't care if others don't touch Chen Li. It is probably because Chen Li was beaten to death, otherwise Chen Li would have arrived long ago. Weeping in front of the palace gate.

Chen Youliang is also considered a hero, but unfortunately, this son is really a waste. He eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, and he doesn't have the consciousness of surrendering. He went to the palace to cry because of his age.

Chen Youliang's former ministers in the court are almost dead now, when his father Chen Youliang's last shadow disappears, what will happen to him?
