royal palace.
Lao Zhu was half lying on the dragon chair, but his legs were resting on the desk with his bare legs. He held a green jade Ruyi firmly in his hand.
"You mean, that guy Gu Chen only accepts gifts that are within the limit?"
In fact, he only said that if you accept bribes, you will be punished.
But he didn't say that the money paid for the marriage was considered bribery.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Mao Xiang said with a smile: "Not only did Gu Yushi only accept gifts that were below the standard, he also returned the gifts the next day when he found that some of them were too much."
"For example, the boss of their county gave me a small ginseng plant. It was originally worthless. The drug store used to sell it for three cents."
"After Gu Yushi weighed it, he cut half of it and sent it back to others. He kept half of it and accepted it with his blessing."
Even if you do it so flawlessly, you may not be able to do it yourself.
"Okay, he is a talent." Lao Zhu was a little happy, and he said to Zhu Biao on the side: "Boss, this is a good official, you have a good vision."
Zhu Biao also didn't expect that Gu Chen could actually do this.
"This is really my son, I didn't expect it."
Isn't this, be careful of overdoing it.
Gu Chen: "..."
Do you think he can be careless when begging for food under Lao Zhu?
Just as he was talking, a fat eunuch hurriedly came to report.
"Your Majesty, several young princes refused to study and made a fuss in the main hall. Mr. Song did not dare to specialize, so he sent someone to invite your Majesty."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, he put on his shoes and walked out.
"The elders like the second, third, and fourth don't care about these useless bastards. Is it possible that they will follow them and cause trouble?"
What a blessing. When he was a child, let alone reading, he could not even touch rice paper.
Look at him for a while, it would be weird if he didn't spread those bastards' butts.
"this……"
The little eunuch didn't dare to speak. He couldn't say that the princes were watching the fun, right?
If you tell the prince later, why don't you kill yourself?
Seeing his father's face getting darker and darker, Zhu Biao only received one signal.
No, my brothers are in trouble.
He quickly winked at Li Jin beside him and asked him to invite his mother.
When Queen Ma heard about Zhu Chongba, she wanted to beat her sons again just as they were about to get up.
But after hearing that it was for studying, he sat back again.
"Empress?"
Li Jin was dumbfounded, what does the queen mean?
Queen Ma said: "These boys don't know how to respect teachers and work hard on their studies. They really deserve to be beaten, so I won't go over and help them."
The older ones have all been granted the title of king, and they are about to join the feudal clan as soon as they get married.
But I still don’t know the seriousness of it, and I carry with me a few random things all day long.
It’s time to fight!
As long as he can't be beaten to death, she won't feel bad.
Outside the main hall, the second eldest son, King Qin, came.
The youngest, the twelfth-year-old Zhu Bai, had his pants taken off, pressed on a stool and beaten.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhu cursed.
Looking at the torn rice paper on the ground in the main hall, the old man Song Lian was sorting out the torn hat and putting it on his head again.
Lao Zhu was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Sir, don't wear it anymore. I'll give you another one. These bastards."
Is it so difficult to write these four words: "respect teachers and respect moral principles"?
Song Lian was okay, it was normal for royal children to be difficult to discipline.
"Your Majesty, I am old and have limited energy. I think it would be better to let someone else come to teach my disciples to study."
His old bones can't stand the torment of these skinny kids.
"No, Mr. Song." Lao Zhu refused: "Our sons have to rely on you to teach them, and you haven't taught us the history of Yuan Dynasty yet."
It’s not like you can’t walk anymore. How can you resign if you can still work?
Poor Song Lian, who is sixty-six years old this year, is still being ruthlessly exploited by the old Zhu family.
Moreover, one person still does the work of four or five people.
Lao Zhu looked at his ineffective sons and made up his mind to give them a good education.
After thinking about it, I still want to send them back to Fengyang and suffer some hardships so that they know that food is hard-earned.
But Queen Ma refused. She thought her sons should get married first.
It would be great to go to Fengyang with my wife to endure hardships and receive education together.
"Since ancient times, in a family, it is only right for husband and wife to share joys and sorrows, advance and retreat together. It is impossible for a husband and wife to be good only to one of them."
"Just like ordinary families, men work hard to earn money outside the home, while women work hard to save money at home. If the men don't make progress, it will be useless for women to save money."
"Similarly, if a woman is defeated at home, it will be useless no matter how much a man earns. If we have to endure hardships, we should endure them together. If we endure hardships together, our relationship will be better."
Just like himself and Chongba, they both suffered hardships together. Even though he became the emperor and had many women, he did not delay the relationship between them.
"It makes sense, what the girl said makes sense."
Lao Zhu reached out and grabbed a date to eat, then suddenly remembered something and sighed.
"Sister, you don't know. Every time we heard Mr. Li and Mr. Liu talk about history, when they talked about the prodigal son of the royal family, we hated him so much."
"We just thought, we don't care about other people's sons, but our son."
"Our son must not be like this, so the prince must be well educated."
"We can't wait until they go to the fiefdom and do evil in the fiefdom."
At that time, if public anger is caused again, it will not be fun if another Zhu Yuanzhang emerges.
"More than just the prince?" Empress Ma smiled and continued to lower her head to pick up the soles of the emperor's shoes: "It's the same at the minister's house, even though there is a censor's desk."
"But look, I'm just getting involved in something, and I'm being warned like this, if I continue like this."
"If you go to catch corrupt officials, you can only catch a few without background."
"And the really big fish are still hiding at the bottom of the river to eat."
"You, the emperor, may be blind or deaf by then, and even the throne under your butt may be shaken."
"I told you earlier, I don't like that Hu Weiyong, he's too smart, but you just don't listen..."
She could just watch with cold eyes, Hu Weiyong would only go further and further.
Could the person who bribed Li Shanchang a hundred taels of gold be a good person?
And Mr. Liu, whom she liked and admired the most, also said, "This little calf will break the plow."
This means that Hu Weiyong is naive, inexperienced and prone to misbehavior. It will definitely not work to let him rise to the top.
It's a pity that Lao Zhu didn't listen.
"Sister, major political affairs are not things you like or dislike." Lao Zhu waved his hand: "In this employing person, he has the advantage of being cunning."
"Forget it, I won't talk to a woman like you about these things."
These words were a bit disdainful, and Queen Ma was so angry that she threw the sewing basket on the table.
"Zhu Chongba!!!"
