After the business talk, they talked about family affairs for a while. After all, she was related to Chen Yunqing. Although she was not his official wife, there was still a friendship. Otherwise, no matter how close they were, they would have nothing to talk about. Yan Donglai and Chen Youzong were just at this level.
"Yun Shu is currently working in Yangzhou. If you are interested, you might as well go to Sichuan. It will be very helpful to experience the place while you are young. When you return, you might as well write to him and ask what he means."
"Transfers, promotions, and demotions are all based on superiority. Brother Yan has worked hard and achieved great results, let alone juniors like him."
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "As a family, there is no need to be so strict. You and I are just chatting about family matters at this time, instead of responding to the court. We should speak freely without any scruples."
Chen Youzong bowed slightly: "His Royal Highness's heart is full of love, and Wei Chen is ashamed to accept it. In this case, Wei Chen wants to take a tassel for his son and transfer him to Yunnan!"
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Not to mention that Yunnan has not yet been restored to the organic system, even if the rebels have been put down, it is not easy to govern. All the conditions are a hundred times more difficult than Sichuan.
Chen Yunshu is Chen Youzong's only legitimate son, and he also has his biological sisters in the Prince's East Palace. His future wealth is almost determined by fate, so there is really no need to take such risks.
However, from a certain perspective, this is actually a rare move. The local forces in Yunnan will inevitably be cleared away, and a huge power hole will appear. The conquering army will undoubtedly take the most juicy piece, and the rest It just depends on who is faster.
It seems that the Chen family wants to expand their power from Jiangnan to Yunnan, Guizhou and even Nanyang. As the prince's confidants, they know the more far-reaching plans. This is also the convenience of being at the top, being able to know information in advance that others don't know. So as to plan ahead.
People dared to place bets, so Zhu Biao naturally had no reason to stop him. He readily agreed. After all, he was a close confidant of his. He would suffer both prosperity and loss. As for whether he would become a winner in the future, he had other plans.
After Chen Youzong resigned, Zhu Biao summoned the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and questioned Pan Fu in detail. He determined that the case had entered the final stage. All the main criminals were arrested and sent to Beijing. The local gentry and officials suspected of harboring were also arrested and awaiting processing. Relax.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first case that has been troubled for so long. If it is not handled beautifully and satisfactorily, it will be a big blow to the majesty of the imperial court.
"Your Highness, I dare to advise you that it is best to deal with this matter quickly. It is better to discuss the other details in the future."
This sentence is still excusing Hu Weiyong. No matter how to clear up the relationship, there will always be clues left. The people from the Ministry of Punishment specialize in investigating. How could they not find out that the source of this incident is Pan Fu and other gentry? I want to collect money to serve the Prime Minister.
After Chen Mingjie finished speaking, he didn't dare to raise his head at all. This meant that if he were to confront His Highness, he would not dare to say another word even if he were killed. The majesty of the heaven is so breathtaking.
There was silence in the hall, except for the faint sound of breathing. In fact, what Chen Mingjie said was right. No matter from which aspect, it was extremely inappropriate to take down Hu Weiyong because of this incident.
Not only because of Hu Weiyong's already doomed outcome, but also because once Hu Weiyong was touched, the matter would change from a collusion between local gentry and officials to defy the imperial court to a corruption problem among the upper echelons of the imperial court.
This would cause the central court to lose an opportunity to purge local clan forces in a reasonable and reasonable manner, resulting in a small loss but a big loss.
After a moment of silence, when Chen Mingjie already regretted his recklessness, Zhu Biao spoke: "What Chen Qing said is reasonable, and I accept it."
Chen Mingjie exhaled and then bowed and raised his hands: "Your Highness is wise."
"I will go see my father right now. The decree will be issued in a few moments."
Zhu Biao stood up and walked out of the palace. The Minister of Punishment bowed aside and followed slowly after the prince passed by. After leaving the palace gate, he stopped and walked to greet him respectfully. After he had gone far, he straightened his back and left the palace. go.
The Huagai Hall is very close to the Jinshen Hall. When Zhu Biaotong entered, he saw the second, third and fifth sons inside. He nodded slightly to them and then saluted his father: "My son, I pay homage to my father. May your father be safe."
"Um."
The three princes made room for their eldest brother, took half a step back and bowed and saluted: "My brother pays homage to the prince, my brother Qianqiu."
"good."
Zhu Biao walked slowly to the imperial eucalyptus and stood there, turning around and facing his younger brothers. The monarch and his ministers made a decision. Although they were a family, there was only one monarch, and there was also only one prince.
"Biao'er came just in time. I'm just praising you for your good arrangements. The third and fifth children did their errands well. The second brother... is very promising."
"This is what sons and ministers should do. My brothers have grown up and are sensible. They know that there is no reason why sons and daughters should not help them when they serve the country. We are a family."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily and looked at the other sons: "Boss said well! Remember what your eldest brother said. Always remember that we are a family!"
"My sons and ministers must obey my father's teachings."
"Well, Neibo has added a lot of tribute items from local vassal states. You can go and have a look. If you like it, just take it away."
"My son, I would like to thank my father."
The princes and princes bowed politely and stepped back. The father and brother's eyes followed their backs. When the footsteps faded away, Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze and sighed: "The older we get, the less close we become. Sometimes we are not as good as ordinary fathers and sons."
Zhu Biao took the tea offered by the maid next to him and passed it to his father: "Every family has its own difficulties. This is the case for ordinary people's families, and it is also the same for the Tian family's royal family. And it's not that they don't want to get close, it's just that they don't want to get close to each other. I am in too much awe of my father."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Of course we understand this truth, but...hey, that's all. It's also a good thing to have awe."
He blew slightly and took a big sip. According to the Holy Emperor's habit, the temperature of the tea served to him was just right. If it was served to the prince, it would need to sit for a while before he could taste it.
"Has it been decided that Yan Dong will go to Sichuan to assist Zuo Mingsheng?"
"I was about to tell my father, but he guessed it himself. He is wise."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Go, we are not old enough for you to coax us."
Zhu Biao happily walked to the imperial eucalyptus and stood in front of him. There were others, and they, father and son, were both kings of the Ming Dynasty, but when they were the only ones around, the kings and kings still had to distinguish clearly.
"After much thought, Yan Donglai is the most suitable. Moreover, he does not have a position, so there is no need to adjust to fill the vacancy."
"That's true. It's just that you have to do it well and have clear priorities to make things happen."
"What my father said is that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has just come to report that all the criminals in Liyang have been captured and brought back, and they are waiting for my father to deal with them. This is a detailed report."
Presenting Chen Mingjie's memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang took it and read it quickly, snorting coldly: "You are so brave, you dare to fight openly with weapons."
"He is a desperado, so of course he has nothing to worry about when he becomes an outcast."
Zhu Biao said with a smile: "This is to let the court focus on Zhao Zhen, the salt dealer leader who is entangled in his blatant disobedience."
"These people are bound to die, and so are the others!"
"Only my father holds the power of life and death. Please ask my father to decide."
Although Lao Zhu was angry, he did not make a decision easily. He still read the entire story in person, and after careful consideration he spoke: "Li Gao is an official of the court and the parents of the people in the county. He can easily be lured, beheaded, and have his house confiscated."
"Pan Fu bribed Shangguan to oppress the people for his own benefit, and plundered the people's wealth for his own personal gain. When God's power came, he dared to try to make Li Daitao flee in all directions. In fact, he was the culprit. He lost his family property and was executed at a late date to set an example."
"More than 200 families under Zhao Zhen had their property confiscated and all their families, young and old, were exiled to Liaodong. More than 200 people who participated in the siege of the government troops with sticks and swords were beheaded on a certain day."
"The families of the gentry and officials who had helped Pan Fu escape and be hunted along the way, such as Jiang Shiru of Liyang, Wang Haisan of Jianping, Zhu Zirong of Yixing, and the magistrate of Chongde County, etc., were all killed on the spot and their property was confiscated!"
Zhu Biao silently calculated that there were more than a thousand people involved in this case. After all, the case involved so many families, young and old, and they were all at the feet of the emperor. There must be many in-laws and relatives serving as officials in the court. If it were in previous years, there would definitely be It's the result of heavy thunder and small rain, pushing out a few abandoners and forgetting it.
Their mistake is that they use old ideas to look at the current situation. They really underestimate the emperor's attitude in governing the country as well as in troubled times. It can be said that one mistake will lead to eternal regrets.
