"Little friend Chu Ze, this will be your work station from now on!"
"I, Huang Qiurang, have the same position as you."
"If you don't understand anything in the future, feel free to ask me."
Because of Zhu Ming's leadership, Chu Ze's appointment was completed very easily.
The person in charge of the Ministry of Rites simply took a look at his appointment edict and then had someone lead him directly to a work station.
As for him, before he could even sit down in his seat, he was directly invited away by an eunuch who was delivering orders.
After Zhu Ping explained something, he left directly.
Chu Ze was left alone, looking at the empty work hall and the vacant workstations around him.
"The ink hasn't even dried yet. Was there someone here from the beginning?"
"It doesn't matter, he probably won't come back."
Do you want to be so upright?
After hearing Chu Ze's inquiry, Huang Qiurang stiffened when he returned to his workstation. Then he forced a smile, turned back to Chu Ze and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
And when he heard his words, he probably couldn't come back.
Chu Ze couldn't help but think of his mentality when he first traveled through time.
If he hadn't decided to give it a go and directly reveal his identity as a time traveler, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back before now. No, he wouldn't have been able to wait until now.
"Life"
After sighing casually, Chu Zeben lowered his head and looked at the document in front of him.
However, after taking a look, he silently raised his head and looked out the window again.
"I'm so crazy about my life."
While Chu Ze joined the Ministry of Etiquette, Jin Yiwei's actions still had no intention of stopping.
After capturing the Ministry of Rites, another group of people came directly to the courtyard of the Ministry of Husband.
And the situation here is not much better.
The Jin Yiwei came and went like the wind, but in one visit, they almost captured the entire household.
Deep in the palace, the initiator of all these actions was sitting in the harem with leisure at this time, and what he held in his hand were several memorials that had just been handed over.
Originally, looking at the memorial, this was an extremely serious matter.
But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh weirdly while watching.
When Queen Ma looked at the weird smile on Lao Zhu's face, she shook her head angrily.
"Chongba, did you arrange Chu Ze to go to the Ministry of Etiquette just to laugh at his ugly handwriting?"
"Hey~~! Girl, look at what you said, are we like this kind of people?"
"Hahaha, but don't tell me, girl, this guy's handwriting is worse than chicken scratching. Look at how crooked it is."
While Lao Zhu said that he was not that kind of person, he smiled happily than anyone else.
When Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was smiling happily, she was also a little speechless.
As this old man gets older, why does he feel like he's getting older and younger at times?
I have nothing to do all day long, just like a child who is angry
And when Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the memorial copied by Chu Ze, he was laughing while reading it.
A figure hurried in from outside.
The other party was galloping all the way in the deep palace backyard, but no one along the way dared to stop him.
Because the person who came was Prince Zhu Biao, who logically should have been still recovering from his illness.
"Father... I have heard that you dismissed Your Prime Minister Wang Guangyang in the court today for investigation? Is that what happened? Moreover, you are still arresting officials involved in the case on a large scale. Is this possible?"
When Zhu Biao hurriedly came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he looked anxious and asked about the current situation before he even had time to salute.
Seeing his son who was out of breath because he ran too fast, Lao Zhu quickly threw away the memorial in his hand, then stood up and stretched out his hand to pat Zhu Biao's back.
"I said, Biao'er, while you're infected with cowpox, the royal doctor told you to get more rest and not to exercise strenuously. What are you doing?"
"Hurry up and sit down and take a rest. Let your breath take over before you speak."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, directly supporting Zhu Biao to sit where he was sitting before, and then poured him a glass of water.
After Zhu Biao heard what Lao Zhu said, although he was extremely anxious at this time, he could only follow his father's instructions and take a short rest first, letting his breath gradually calm down, and then he couldn't wait to speak again. Asked.
"Father, what happened earlier."
Although Zhu Biao was anxious at this time, he gradually calmed down.
He is the prince and his father is the emperor. How can he talk to his father in a questioning tone?
After Zhu Biao calmed down, his tone could not help but soften a little.
"We knew you would come to ask about this, Biao'er, and you also know that the Ministry of Rites did something bad this time. Originally, if someone stood up to take responsibility for this matter, we wouldn't be so angry!"
"But guess what, Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, when we held them accountable, they tacitly passed all the responsibilities to the Ministry of Rites."
"Didn't they say it was a problem with the Ministry of Rites? That's fine. Let's start the investigation from the Ministry of Rites. It turned out that it was better not to check. After an investigation, we discovered something interesting. In the past, we always thought that these guys Corrupt officials, at most, dare to scratch some of the people's fat and oil on the people."
"But this time when we checked, we found...these people's hands have actually reached over our heads."
"The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, under the alliance of the two departments, dare to embezzle the tribute sent by other countries!"
"Some people even secretly modify the list of tributes from other countries."
"For such a bold move, tell me, Biao'er, should we arrest someone and hold him accountable? Should he, Wang Guangyang, be held responsible?"
"And those little fish and shrimps down there! We heard a very interesting saying today, the law does not punish the crowd! Do these people think that because they are so numerous, we will look ahead and spare their lives?"
"What we want to tell everyone this time is that the law does not punish everyone, but we do! Let them know what it means when the king asks the minister to die, and the minister has to die!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang began to speak, his expression was still relatively normal, but the more he continued to speak, the more ferocious his expression became.
Zhu Biao on the side couldn't help but frown deeply after hearing his father's words.
However, even his subtle expression fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Seeing his son frowning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look a little ugly.
"Biao'er, don't tell us that you think we shouldn't kill these people!"
Today's Zhu Yuanzhang, to a certain extent, no longer opposes Zhu Biao's benevolent policy.
After all, what Lao Zhu cares more about than political differences is his son's safety and health.
But the kind of benevolence he can accept is mercy, not pedantic kindness.
The law cannot be abolished..
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.
No rules no standards!
Certain bottom lines cannot be crossed. Blind kindness will only result in others being unscrupulous!
"Father, I am actually already investigating this matter. I just didn't expect you to take action so quickly. And you arrested so many people at once."
"How could I leave the matter of the collusion between the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites unchecked? The reason why I haven't made an attack for the time being is because I see war is about to start, and the imperial examination ceremony is coming soon!"
"My son, I am not thinking that it is time to hire people soon, so I will let them go for a while. Now, Father, as soon as you come up, you will arrest all the people who should be arrested or not."
"How are you going to prepare for the upcoming imperial examination ceremony? Where can I find so many people at this time?"
"Nowadays, nine out of ten people from the Ministry of Household Affairs have been wiped out, and almost everyone from the top to the bottom of the Ministry of Rites has been imprisoned."
When Zhu Biao expressed his sorrow, Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally wanted to do some ideological work for his son, was stunned.
He originally thought that Zhu Biao came in a hurry because he was on a killing spree, so he came to beg for mercy.
As a result, he finally realized that the reason why Zhu Biao came in such a hurry was not because of this matter at all.
He was in a hurry. He was so anxious that Lao Zhu would kill all the people, fearing that it would make it difficult for him to do his subsequent work.
But after reacting, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son with a sad face, and he burst out laughing.
Seeing his father's sudden smile, Zhu Biao was a little confused for a moment.
Shouldn't I worry about these things?
"Biao'er, you have to remember one thing. This court and temple is the place that almost everyone in the world pursues and yearns for. There is never a shortage of useful people in this world, and there is never a shortage of talented people."
"Even if the imperial examination ceremony is held tomorrow, there will still be no shortage of manpower. As a king, you should know yourself!"
"If you become the emperor and find that your decision-making needs to take others into consideration, then you must examine yourself as to who has deprived you of your authority."
"When an emperor makes a decision, his ministers can persuade him, but they cannot stop him! This is the emperor!"
"Although the throne of the emperor may seem majestic, all that is buried under the throne are withered bones!"
After Lao Zhu told his son about his way of being a king, a smirk suddenly appeared on his face, which was originally serious.
Then he came to Zhu Biao's side and whispered mysteriously.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. After we investigate, no matter whether he is guilty or innocent, we will not release him. As long as he is put in jail, we will keep him locked up."
"When you recover from your illness and come back to rule, you will offend those who are sure to be guilty! And for those who are innocent, you will vindicate them and release them. In this way, those who have been wronged will be punished. People will naturally remember you."
"Look, we, the Supreme Emperor, are in front of you as a target, and the ministers are comparing us, father and son. We are stupid and murderous. If we get angry, we will kill and capture everyone!"
"And you, the new emperor, are sensible and gracious. You will be rewarded for your merits and punished for your mistakes! You know the rules and regulations, and you are also considerate of your subordinates!"
"Look! In comparison, you, the new emperor, must be resourceful, capable, and benevolent."
"After our father and son go through this round, those courtiers still can't be punished and obeyed?"
"I can't guarantee that the courtiers in the court will offer the entire Buddha statue at home as soon as they return home, and burn three sticks of incense in the morning and evening. They will look forward to our return to the west as soon as possible all day long, so that you, a wise king, can quickly succeed to the throne. !”
"Dad! You're talking nonsense again."
Originally the topic was extremely serious, but Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his mind and his face almost turned green when he heard it directly from Zhu Biao.
Queen Ma on the side finally couldn't listen anymore.
She lightly stepped on Zhu Yuanzhang's instep with her foot, and then said with a complaining look.
"Chongpachi, please don't teach your son these messy things for a day, okay? Mingjun didn't get the title by showing off and using such despicable means to torment people."
"A wise king, he is a hard worker. He is a king who thinks about the people wholeheartedly, strives for prosperity of the people, and a long-lasting country. Only then can he be called a wise king!"
"How can you be like you, torturing ministers in exchange for the title of Mingjun?"
"Biao'er, you can't learn from your father. If you have this idea, you might as well think more about how to let the people plant more acres of fields and harvest more bags of rice!"
"On this point, I think Chu Ze has done a good job. Although this kid is usually a bit skinny, he understands the general situation and knows what he wants to do and what he wants. This is very important!"
"Biao'er, you should learn more from Chu Ze and don't listen to your father's crazy ideas."
Facing Queen Ma's preaching, Lao Zhu not only didn't feel angry at all, but actually smiled and clapped his hands.
Then he looked at his girl with a proud face.
"Sister, you don't understand this! We use this method to make the people below obedient. Only when your subordinates are obedient can you, as the emperor, effectively deliver and execute your orders."
"The king protects the world, not the virtues of a gentleman! As long as the purpose is good, it doesn't matter if the attempt is a little darker."
"Look, we have always scolded or disciplined Chu Ze! Biao'er treats Chu Ze like a gift from a close friend! After the comparison, Chu Ze, this kid, pays more attention to Biao'er's affairs!"
"This is the way to control your subordinates."
"They just don't like you! And that's because Chu Ze has a good mind. As my godmother, I have never used any tricks. Doesn't he respect me?"
"It's just that you don't like others."
"Sister... why are you still talking for him!"
"I'm being fair."
Zhu Biao looked at his father who was gradually speechless by his mother. Now that the matter had been clarified, it had already happened even if it shouldn't have happened.
Zhu Biao naturally had no intention of disturbing the two elders' quarrel anymore.
While the two elders were talking, he slowly stood up and left.
But before leaving, Zhu Biao conveniently took away the memorials on the table.
As he walked and turned over the memorial in his hand, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Biao knew the unique calligraphy on the memorial without even thinking about it. The only one who could write such calligraphy was Chu Ze.
And in Chu Ze's memorial, every stroke expresses two words.
