Chen Yunqing bowed her knees and then turned to face the Yangliu Qingchi and continued to play the unfinished song. The sound of the flute sounded like admiration, but it had a hint of joy and was no longer as sad as before.

Looking at her graceful back, Zhu Biao couldn't help but think that maybe if she really had the chance to choose, she would definitely choose a close friend and talented person as her lifelong companion.

Instead of being trapped in this palace as a thing for the prince and prince to appreciate, this is also a common problem of most famous and talented women. Without going through the hardships of the world, the fantasy is always beautiful.

It's just that she can't be free, and the same goes for Zhu Biao. Who in this world can really be free and happy?

Her family needs her to enter the palace to serve the prince to show loyalty and respect. Zhu Biao needs to accept her into the palace to appease the Chen family. Marriage is not the necessary and only way, but it is the simplest and most effective. Moreover, the Chen family does not dare to expect their grandson to I also want a prince to be the protector of the family.

After she finished her song, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It would be too sad for a young person to play mourning, so let's play "Moon over the West Lake" again. The last time I went to the West Lake at night, there were piano masters playing beside the road. It can be said that I still remember it fresh."

Chen Yunqing elegantly took the maid's silk handkerchief and wiped the jade flute and said: "That is my teacher, the wife of the Inspector of Hangzhou. Unfortunately, my talent is mediocre, so I am afraid it will be difficult for me to play the music that His Highness remembers."

The words are modest. Chen Yunqing is like a green lotus blooming in the pond, and the fragrance spreads for ten miles. The jade flute is melodious and graceful. At first glance, it sounds not as good as the beautiful woman under the moon that day, but upon closer inspection, the meaning is even more agile and elegant.

Zhu Biao spent a quite comfortable afternoon listening to the beautiful woman playing the flute and eating the side dishes brought by Li Yan. In the evening, he rested alone in the Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Biao was still not present in the morning court the next morning. Although the ban was lifted, Lao Zhu still did not order the restoration of his right to enter the court and participate in politics, so Zhu Biao went to Kunning Palace with his two sons to accompany his mother.

Although Zhu Biao did not go to the morning court, the ministers in the court were inseparable from His Highness the Crown Prince. They took turns to report that the foundation of the country was the most important, and the dignity of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince was related to the stability of the country, asking the emperor to be kind enough to recall the Crown Prince back to the court to observe the government.

In fact, this kind of memorials has not stopped since the day Zhu Biao was banned. Not to mention Chen Youzong, Xu Da and others, the seriously ill Yan Donglai would force himself to write memorials and Chenshu as long as he was awake for a moment.

The same is true for the memorials to the yamen and guards of various prefectures. This is tantamount to forcing the palace. If it were another dynasty, I am afraid that the emperor would have to quickly let the prince die suddenly to stabilize the situation. Only this dynasty does not need to be taboo.

Or at least there is no need to be taboo when the current Holy Master is in the prime of life. After all, people will change. How many Holy Masters and wise kings have lost to the Great Wall because of their ignorance and self-destruction in their later years. If this is the case, it is not a surprising thing.

However, it seems that the Holy Emperor is still very confident in himself and is still cultivating His Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, so everyone is happy to look familiar and cannot speak for Wei Guan Gao Qi. There is nothing wrong with supporting the Crown Prince, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, calmly listened to everyone's advice without commenting. He just looked at the Dali Temple Shaoqing who was presenting Yan Donglai's performance and said: "How does the Imperial Hospital diagnose and treat! Why is Yan Qing still lingering on the bed? It's obvious that he is not trying his best. , order Lingtai Hospital to suspend salaries for a month, and if they can’t be cured, they will all be exiled to Yazhou!”

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were of noble status, but their political status was not high and they were not qualified to go to court to participate in politics. Therefore, the emperor's reprimands could only be received by the eunuchs serving in the palace and then conveyed to the people of the imperial hospital.

This matter was soon exposed, but many people made up their minds to pay a visit to Song Longmen in the next court and then go to Yan Mansion to have a look, at least to send some thoughts.

Now it seems that Yan Donglai has a bright future as long as he survives this time. If he had known this, they would have recovered from their illness. It is not unusual for so many people to come forward to speak for His Highness the Crown Prince. Only this person who is about to die of illness still misses the Crown Prince. Your Highness, this has caught the eye of the Holy Emperor. Jane is in the Emperor's heart.

Even if Yan Donglai is unlucky and dies, the Holy Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince will not treat his son badly. Speaking of which, Yan Donglai's son is also ten years old. I haven't heard of anyone who has made a marriage arrangement. Maybe he can take the opportunity to get a quick son-in-law. , there is no shortage of daughters in the family.

There were many people who thought this way, and they were all scheming people. They soon discovered the thoughts of the others. The friendly forces who had shared the same hatred because of the Jiangnan incident instantly felt tit for tat.

However, they quickly put away their little thoughts and looked at the superiors with shocked expressions. The one on the dragon throne said the decree that made many people tremble with an unchanging expression. The censors had already knelt down when they heard the beginning. Pour a big piece.

Loud remonstrances and pleas came one after another, but none of these affected His Majesty the Emperor, who had cold eyes and firm eyes. The decree was still being promulgated. The commander Mao Xiang, who had just arrived at the pro-military Duwei Mansion last night, knelt in the center of the hall and listened attentively to the decree.

No matter how many chaotic voices said, a firm and cold promise was so harsh and sharp, so there were many more voices asking to punish Mao Xiang and other sycophants and traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people.

However, those who said these words were immediately stripped of their imperial robes and crowns and forced into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, accompanied by many former colleagues. Song Lian, who had just entered the imperial court today, also had a pale complexion, his lips trembled and his chin had a slight white beard. Trembling but speechless.

The matter in Jiangnan has been dragging on for so long, and as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was lifted from confinement, everyone thought that the matter was about to come to an end. After the rain, the weather cleared, and they would receive praises from scholars in both the government and the public, and their reputation would soar.

Unexpectedly, the landslide and the earth's collapse were so sudden. The Holy Emperor actually dared to risk the disapproval of the world. Many imperial censors who were determined to die had a thought in their mouths. I have been unable to express it for a long time, but now I have made great contributions to all people in the world.

Expel the barbarians, restore China, establish principles and discipline, and save the people!

This morning court was soon forced to end when King Xu Da of Zhongshan was ordered to sit in Suzhou to control military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the court was mostly empty, there were blood stains on several imperial pillars in the hall, and more than a few imperial censors were carried out. …

However, none of this has shaken Zhu Yuanzhang's will at all. Not to mention this little blood, even if they are all dead, as long as they can achieve their goals and do not affect the operation of the court, then it doesn't matter, so it is not wrong to say that the emperor is a single husband.

But so what? We can become emperor not because of your love, not because of your praise of saints, but because we are stronger than you. We can break out from the mountains of corpses and create a dynasty, but you can't, so I have the final say in this world. !

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the lines of the dragon chair, and the coldness in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Only after sitting on this chair did he understand that everyone seemed to be kowtowing in worship, but in fact they were all standing, and some even wanted to sit down to restore the relationship between scholar-bureaucrats and officials. The kings rule the world together.

The court's decrees were not smooth, especially when it came to the gentry, especially in remote state capitals, especially when there were big families in the area, whether it was taxes or labor, they would be perfunctory, and local officials would not Reporting truthfully but hiding it by accepting bribes.

We have been purging officials for several years, but the results are not significant. We kill one group after another, but the result is still the same. It seems that the killings are endless, but he just doesn't believe in this evil. We don't treat the world as a peaceful and prosperous time to govern. We should treat it as a troubled time and use heavy codes. If it doesn't work, try again!

Corruption is human nature, but it should not be taken for granted. It seems that not being greedy in the officialdom is a weird thing, and you will be ostracized and suppressed by the officialdom. If you don't join in the corruption, you will be framed to death. This is an unhealthy and unhealthy trend. What he wants to govern is not human nature. But this trend!

Those who are greedy will be punished, those who are honest will be rewarded, and all scholars and students will be proud of being honest and honest officials. This is the atmosphere that this world should have, and it is also the prerequisite for ensuring peace in the world. Otherwise, there is no need for foreign invasion, and the country will perish!
