Seeing Zhan Hui peeing and peeing out, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction,
He lowered his head again and looked at Xiao Twenty-two’s side face.
Xiao Twenty-Two's face looks just like Crayon Shin-chan from the side. He looks very cute, but Lao Zhu's heart is not affected at all.
"Little twenty-two."
"Ah, um, daddy."
"do you understand?"
"Dad, I understand!"
"Do you understand what?"
"My child, I understand, the creatures of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are ordinary people, officials or royal families like my child,
Everything I got was rewarded by my nephew.
The child should always be grateful to his eldest nephew! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It was obvious that Xiao Twenty-two's answer was beyond his expectation. Then, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed Xiao Twenty-two's head lovingly and laughed.
Little Twenty-Two wrinkled his nose, raised his cute little face, and said doubtfully,
"Why is daddy laughing? Did the child say something wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said,
"Daddy is laughing at what you said, and your answer makes him very satisfied.
But just saying it is not enough. You must always remember what you said today. Do you understand? "
"Understood!"
"Haha, okay, you can go and play with the other brothers. Dad is here and you have to think about something by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Er Er immediately obeyed and jumped out of Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.
Regardless of their age, these sons know very well that acting like a baby with their father depends on the occasion. To put it bluntly, you can only act like a baby with your father when Lao Zhu wants you to act like a baby.
Zhu Xiongying is the only junior who can act coquettishly regardless of time and place, and can even easily change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
"Dad, that kid is back."
"Go ahead."
After Little Twenty-two ran out of the East Palace, a dense shadow flashed out of the East Palace, trying to catch up with Little Twenty-two.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually and said,
"There's no need to go. He's a pretty big kid. What could happen?"
The shadows dispersed obediently,
"You go and follow Zhan Hui. We let him resign to give him a chance."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
........
Tianyu Hall
Li Jinglong and Yao Guangxiao stood in the hall.
Zhu Xiongying took off his dragon crown and wore a black dragon robe with gold thread. He held the dragon chair with both hands and sat upright.
Li Jinglong reported,
"Your Majesty, the Ling family is occupying land again, but..."
"but what?"
Zhu Xiongying asked calmly.
Li Jinglong replied,
"Your Majesty, after closer inspection, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is perfectly normal for relatives of officials to occupy land according to their power.
Moreover, Ling Han had told this matter to his family many times. Compared with other officials, the amount of land his family occupied was basically negligible. "
Yao Guangxiao looked at the Holy Lord in front of him and asked Li Jinglong,
"Captain Li, you are really talking to Ling Han."
Li Jinglong was not afraid of Yao Guangxiao's questioning. He held his hands towards Zhu Xiongying and said calmly,
"It is a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. I just report the actual situation of Dali Temple to His Majesty truthfully and dare not hide anything."
Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything.
"Report!"
As soon as Li Jinglong finished speaking, a message came from outside the hall.
Fu Ren, the little governor guarding Tianyu Palace, came forward to report.
"Report to Your Majesty, Zhan Hui, the Minister of Punishment, is asking for an audience."
"Pass it in."
Zhu Xiongying spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fu Ren turned around and went out, and Zhan Hui followed him in. However, looking at Zhan Hui's appearance, he had no energy at all, as if he had been completely hollowed out.
"Zhan Qing, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is ashamed of Your Majesty and has come to report his old age!"
Yao Guangxiao's face was expressionless, and he didn't even twitch his eyelids. He seemed to have foreseen Zhan Hui's ending.
Li Jinglong, who was standing on the other side, flashed his eyes. Although he was not familiar with Yao Guangxiao, they had similar views on the matter of being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
"That's right."
Zhu Xiongying didn't even say a polite word, he just said two words lightly,
"With a title and a salary, Zhan Qing can go back to his hometown to retire."
Originally, Zhu Xiongying was interested in Zhan Hui's talent and just wanted to give it a try, but today Zhan Hui dared to secretly meet Master Hong Wu. This was a violation of the line.
Zhan Hui had not devoted himself to the disciples of Shengsun before, but he comforted himself by saying that Lord Hongwu was still there, how could he serve as the new emperor?
If he could implement this sentence from beginning to end, he would not be in this situation today.
The new emperor was still there, but Zhan Hui went to find the old emperor.
Isn't this a big mistake?
When Zhan Hui heard His Majesty's straightforward answer, he suddenly realized something in his heart, and there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of his mouth.
It turns out that everything I did was seen by His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't say anything.
From this point of view, being able to resign and retire is indeed the best ending for me.
If Lord Hongwu hadn't woken him up, he wouldn't have known how much trouble he would have caused by secretly prodding him.
Fortunately, it was a cliffhanger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhan Hui kowtowed and retreated.
The game of thrones is so cruel. Just one wrong thought can knock a second-grade official into the ground!
"Fu Ren."
"Your Majesty, the general is here."
Fu Ren turned over in front of the palace door and walked in.
"Call Yang Pu into the palace and wait for my message."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Xiongying sighed,
"The Ling family's occupation of land was a matter of criticism among Zhan Huixing's party. Now that Zhan Hui is gone,
The Ling family's land occupation is just land occupation, Li Qing. "
"I'm here."
"Just do whatever you want. Officials from North Korea and China take advantage of their power to occupy land in their hometowns. This trend should be curbed."
Li Jinglong understood immediately,
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"You go ahead and do it."
After Li Jinglong retreated, Yao Guangxiao looked at Li Jinglong's figure, smiled at Zhu Xiongying and said,
"Your Majesty, Ling Han is really a smart man."
The two brothers Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Xiongying are inextricably linked. Their relationship is not just as simple as a monarch and a minister.
Therefore, Yao Guangxiao should appear more relaxed when talking to Zhu Xiongying, but certainly not as relaxed as Xie Jin.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and shook his head.
"Then you haven't come to me now. This Ling Han is indeed a smart man.
Yao Qing. "
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"I've been having a lot of headaches recently about the Ming Dynasty's military system. I wonder if Yao Qing has any good suggestions?"
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a long time after hearing this. Even he could not answer His Majesty's question immediately.
The three most difficult aspects of governing the feudal dynasty are:
The first is the tax system, the second is the military system, and the third is the land system.
These are the basic foundations of the feudal dynasty of the Central Plains. It is absolutely impossible to change them unless it is absolutely necessary!
