"I don't know tomorrow."
Zhu Ming glanced at Zhu Yunwen, who was standing aside, and saw that the boy had a somewhat panicked look on his face at the moment, and he became confused in his heart.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Zhu Ming still shook his head innocently.
After receiving such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned with obvious dissatisfaction, but in front of his two grandchildren, he still suppressed his anger.
"My dear grandson, you have worked hard these past few days."
He slowly put Zhu Ming down, softened his tone, and put on a smile.
"Go back and rest first. The rest of the emperor will find a way."
As he spoke, he pushed Zhu Ming outside Daming Palace.
"Grandpa Huang..."
Zhu Ming glanced at Lao Zhu worriedly, but couldn't resist his temper and was pushed out helplessly.
"Grandpa Huang, don't be angry, be careful of hurting the dragon's body."
Zhu Yunwen on the side quickly came over and tried to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang carefully, hoping to appease the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang just glared at him, which startled Zhu Yunwen.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's frightened look, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a little, sighed helplessly, and waved towards him: "You should go back first."
Having just been frightened, Zhu Yunwen was already frightened. At this moment, he did not dare to go against Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes and retreated obediently.
"These rebels!"
It was not until Zhu Ming and Zhu Yunwen were persuaded to leave the Daming Palace that Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and roared.
He hated corrupt officials the most in his life. Corruption of less than fifty taels was a capital crime of beheading.
How dare these people below to embezzle and bend the law so blatantly under their own noses, and even attempt to change national policy, it is really unreasonable!
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Seeing this, Yun Qi had no choice but to lean forward nervously and pass a cup of tea in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the teacup and was about to take a sip when he thought of the incident again and threw the teacup out again, smashing it to pieces.
Yun Qi could only soothe Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, wink at the same time, and ask his servants to clean up the cup of tea as soon as possible.
He has served Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, but it is still rare to see such an angry look.
"Little grandson, how are you?"
Liu Jin stood in front of the gate of the side courtyard, watching Zhu Ming return from the Daming Palace. He immediately went to greet him and asked with concern.
"This is the first time I have seen Grandpa Huang so angry."
Zhu Ming returned to the room, shook his head helplessly, and threw the account book from his arms on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worthy of being a murderous emperor. Even if he suppressed his anger in front of him, he still made people shudder and couldn't think of any resistance.
"Why doesn't the little emperor give this account book to His Majesty?"
Liu Jin looked at the account book that was brought back with some confusion, and couldn't help but ask aloud.
If this account book is left behind, won't it be easy for people to talk about it?
"You don't know how angry Grandpa Huang is today. If he turns it in, the Imperial City will be filled with blood today."
Zhu Ming still looked at the account book with lingering fear. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew the contents today, he would probably send the people above him and all the nine tribes to prison today.
Lao Zhu will not care about your tactic of not punishing the public.
"Liu Jin, no one can tell anyone about this account book, do you understand?"
After knowing the danger of this account book, Zhu Ming looked at Liu Jin with a serious face again, and started to remind him with a hint of threat.
"Slave understands."
Liu Jin nodded affirmatively. As a person in the deep palace, he still had this level of consciousness.
"Little grandson of the emperor, grandson of the little emperor!"
As soon as Zhu Ming finished explaining, Fang Xiaoru's voice rang outside the courtyard, startling Zhu Ming.
With Zhu Ming's wink, Liu Jin immediately put away the account book.
"Sir, it's so late, why don't you go back and rest?"
After Liu Jin hid everything, Zhu Ming walked over and opened the door.
Just watching Fang Xiaoru walk in with a serious and meticulous look made Zhu Ming nervous.
"Thank you sir and Mr. Wei Guogong for delaying the students' time yesterday."
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru didn't speak, Zhu Ming had no choice but to speak first and change the topic to what happened yesterday.
"You did really well in this matter."
Speaking of what happened yesterday, Fang Xiaoru nodded affirmatively. It seemed that the outcome of the matter was indeed worthy of his choice.
Judging from Zhu Ming's intelligence, he cannot be trained simply as a child.
"but……"
Just after he finished his compliments, before Zhu Ming could feel proud, Fang Xiaoru's face darkened again, and even the air around him seemed to become a bit colder.
The purpose of his coming today is not just for what happened yesterday.
"Teacher, is there anything else?"
Zhu Ming looked at Fang Xiaoru's stern look and asked timidly.
It seems like you haven’t done anything else recently, right?
"I heard that when you were searching for land deeds, you found burned ledgers that recorded bribes from officials?"
Fang Xiaoru stared at Zhu Ming and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's just that when the students saw it, the account book had been burned, and only the faint handwriting could be read."
Zhu Ming took a step back and responded with a guilty conscience.
How could a man as upright as Fang Xiaoru care about this?
Is it possible that the teacher's name will still be on this account book?
But if there was a teacher with a name, then I probably couldn't invite him yesterday.
"Well, you know His Majesty's temperament well."
After hearing Zhu Ming say that the account book had been burned to ashes, Fang Xiaoru sighed helplessly and looked at Zhu Ming again.
"If he knew the location of the account book, I'm afraid another bloody storm would be inevitable."
"What do you mean, teacher?"
Zhu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Xiaoru was worried that there would be another killing due to the account book and another tragedy.
Fortunately, the teacher is still the same teacher.
"Now that His Majesty knows, I'm afraid there will be another disaster tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoru said, thinking for a while, subconsciously looking around for a while, and then locked his eyes on Zhu Ming again.
At this point, there is probably only one way.
"Ming'er, do you know about the Battle of Guandu and Cao Cao's burning of trust?"
He calmed down, stared into Zhu Ming's eyes, and spoke in a deep voice.
"I know that in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was powerful, and many of Cao Cao's officials secretly communicated with Yuan Shao to find a way out."
Zhu Ming nodded. He still knew this famous allusion. There are a few modern people who don't read the Three Kingdoms.
"Then what?"
Seeing Zhu Ming nod, Fang Xiaoru seemed to see a little hope and asked again.
"Later, Cao Cao defeated the strong with the weak, defeated Yuan Shao, and found the letters between hundreds of officials and Yuan Shao."
