The Minister of Rites hurriedly knelt down and said, "I reported this to the Ministry of Education a month ago."
Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang hurriedly knelt down: "I am guilty."
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table: "You two are inferior to pigs and dogs, but you are so bold that you dare to hide this kind of thing from us."
Hu Weiyong kowtowed: "The Ministry of Rites did not report it to the ministers, it only reported it to Mr. Wang."
Zhu Bai couldn't help but scolded Hu Weiyong in his heart: Fart, now even the children in the market know that everything in Zhongshu Province is reported to you, you bastard.
Let me just say, with your methods and current status, how could you let the envoy from Champa come to the Guanya Bureau to expose you to me.
Although Wang Guangyang is a vegetarian and does not hinder you, Hu Weiyong, he is still your boss. Makes you very uncomfortable.
How can an ambitious person like you tolerate this kind of thing for a long time?
That's why you teamed up with the Ministry of Rites to keep this matter under wraps and waited for the news to come out so that we could reprimand Wang Guangyang.
The abacus really clicked.
Lao Zhu stared at Wang Guangyang: "What else do you have to say?"
Wang Guangyang's face was pale and dripping with cold sweat, and he kowtowed desperately: "I deserve to die. It's probably because the memorial was buried underneath, and I was so blind that I didn't see it."
Lao Zhu looked at Wang Guangyang's head with deep disappointment in his eyes.
Even Zhu Bai felt that Wang Guangyang was completely finished this time.
Zhu Biao did not come out to intercede for Wang Guangyang.
After all, if you think about the bigger picture, it can be said that Wang Guangyang is arrogant and despises the imperial power.
Then Lao Zhu greeted Wang Guangyang's eight generations of ancestors with foul language in front of the court, saying whatever was offensive.
Zhu Bai thought to himself: Well, it seems that Lao Zhu is planning to let Wang Guangyang go this time, otherwise he wouldn't waste so much saliva.
The less you say, the bigger the problem.
If Lao Zhu really wants to get Wang Guangyang, he only needs to say one word "liu".
Two words "tingzhang".
Three words "decided".
A maximum of four characters for "Peeled Daylily".
But Lao Zhu scolded Wang Guangyang for a full stick of incense, which was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The ministers were trepidatious from the beginning, but by the end they were a little impatient.
Everyone could see that Lao Zhu was very angry, but had no intention of doing anything to Wang Guangyang.
Since you don't plan to do it, why are you talking so much? It's a waste of everyone's time.
We still have to rush home for lunch after the morning break.
Zhu Bai sighed: Lao Zhu needs a step up. I'll give it to you.
Zhu Bai stepped out of the queue and handed over to Lao Zhu: "Father, please don't make yourself angry. Mr. Wang has already realized his mistake. Please give Mr. Wang a chance to atone for his sins."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath and snorted: "Since it is Lao Twelve who is interceding for you, I will forgive you again. You write a 10,000-word self-examination for me and read it in front of all the civil and military officials tomorrow morning. If you If you write a review that makes us dissatisfied or if you continue to be so ignorant and unreasonable in the future, we will punish you from the nine tribes."
This sentence really scared Wang Guangyang.
He hurriedly kowtowed: "I don't dare to do it anymore."
Hu Weiyong was so angry that the opportunity he finally found was resolved by Zhu Bai, a brat.
Really pissed off.
Lao Zhu gave the Champa envoy something and asked the Champa envoy what else he wanted.
The envoy from Champa hesitated and replied: "It's March now, and Wei Chen wants to see Yangzhou where 'Fireworks Under Yangzhou in March'."
Lao Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: This is not your wish. It's obviously Zhu Bai, that brat who wants to go out to play and forces you to say these things.
Although I knew it, it was hard to expose and reject it on the spot. After all, the envoys had been waiting for us for a whole month.
Ask him to go to Yangzhou for a walk, so that he can experience the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty and describe it to the king of Champa.
Lao Zhu said: "Okay, for the sake of your loyalty, we will allow you to travel to Yangzhou according to the order."
The envoy who captured the city added: "Wei Chen is not familiar with this place. Please ask the emperor to designate an adult to take Wei Chen there."
Lao Zhu nodded slightly: "That's what you said."
He lightly scanned everyone in the hall with his eyes.
It seemed that only Zhu Bai was the most suitable.
When I go to Yangzhou, in addition to seeing the scenery, I also go to a brothel to drink wine.
It's definitely not okay to spend our money to let these ministers live and drink.
It was obviously inappropriate to let Zhu Biao and Zhu Zhu go. One of them was the future successor, so it was inappropriate for him to do such a thing, and the other was so honest that he seemed foolish enough to enter a brothel without being eaten to the bone.
Zhu Bai was different. He screamed loudly, but actually couldn't do anything.
The most important thing is that this guy is as smart as a fox...
Lao Zhu said: "Then let King Xiang accompany you."
Zhu Bai was ecstatic, but he had a troubled look on his face: "Father, this is inappropriate. My son is still young."
Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "It's appropriate, why isn't it appropriate? We are the emperor, so I say it is appropriate."
Zhu Bai grinned from ear to ear: "Then I can only accept it reluctantly."
Although there are also fourteen brothels in Yingtian, including Laibin, Heming, Zuixian, Qingyan, Danfen, Meiyan, and Cuiliu, all of which have leading courtesans.
But under the noses of Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, they still couldn't let go. How could they go to Yangzhou and see Emperor Tiangao so happily?
Zhu Biao was about to speak but stopped. He also felt that it was not appropriate for Zhu Bai to go to Yangzhou, but he could not find anyone more suitable.
Song Lian and Zhan Weiwei walked out and said, "King Xiang is still young, so it's not appropriate to go to a place like that with fireworks."
Lao Zhu said: "Does Mr. Song want to go? Then shall we send you instead?"
Song Lian's face turned red, and it took him a long time to angrily squeeze out a few words: "I don't want to, I don't want to."
Lao Zhu nodded, turned around and asked, "Who else wants to go?"
The officials who originally wanted to speak out impassionedly and write a long article on propriety, justice and integrity to oppose this matter were all depressed now: Lao Zhu, what you said is so unreasonable. Even if we wanted to go, we wouldn’t dare say so. Then I can only watch Zhu Bai, the little king of hell, be happy.
In a rare moment, Hu Weiyong and Liu Bowen both stood with their hands folded, as quiet as quails.
Zhu Bai naturally knew the little Jiujiu in their hearts, and secretly sneered: Haha, you really want me to hang around in brothels, indulge in sensuality, and not make progress. Only then can you take over all my businesses.
The young man is a flower, and he is not so confused yet.
My first visit to Yangzhou was to visit the brothels. The most important thing was to see the salt fields.
Before Zhu Bai suggested that Lao Zhu use the "open-China method", the imperial court implemented the "zoning of salt" to strictly control the salt across the country.
That is, each state and county stipulates the amount of salt used in each area according to the daily food and other needs registered in the household registration book (restaurants, palaces, people's pickled food), thereby determining the output and marketing attraction (the amount of salt trafficked and sold by merchants) ).
People who buy and sell salt have clear activity areas.
People who buy salt can only buy salt, not sell salt.
Salt sellers can only sell a specified amount of salt to specified customers in a specified area.
If it is violated, then the salt bought and sold will be "private salt".
This means that both the buyer and the seller will be punished even if they buy something to eat at home.
