"Father!" Looking at Lao Zhu who was busy at his desk, Zhu Biao felt a little distressed.
Throughout the year, there is no time to rest.
"Biao'er." Hearing the voice, Lao Zhu raised his head.
"What's going on? We're busy!"
"Father, the case of Kongyin has been completed."
"Father, please take a look!"
Zhu Biao respectfully presented the fold with his hands.
"Oh?" Lao Zhu stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhu Biao curiously.
He also wanted to know how Zhu Biao would handle this matter.
Take the booklet and read it.
But looking at it, Lao Zhu's face became hard to look at.
"pedantic!"
"It seems that you didn't listen at all to what we said!"
"These corrupt officials, you actually want to let them live?"
"Do you think they'll appreciate you?"
Lao Zhu was still very angry.
"Father, why don't you listen to your thoughts?" Zhu Biao took a deep breath and said slowly.
He is here to solve problems, not to intensify conflicts.
"You tell me, let's listen." Although Lao Zhu looked very disappointed with Zhu Biao, he still valued Zhu Biao's thoughts.
"Father, this case involves so many officials that it will inevitably lead to unjust, false, and wrongful convictions."
"We must pay attention to this aspect."
"My ministers have carefully investigated and found out, for example, Fang Keqin, the prefect of Jining. He is honest in government and has a reputation as a virtuous person. He is reluctant to eat more meat and his clothes are full of patches."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's expression softened.
"Such an honest and capable minister should be killed just because he is the chief seal officer?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public."
"Besides, the local people may also say that the imperial court is short-sighted."
"We cannot ignore public opinion."
"Furthermore, leaving such an upright and honest minister can also set an example for officials."
"As long as you don't take bribes, serve the people wholeheartedly, and make small mistakes, the court will tolerate you."
"In this way, to a certain extent, it can also reduce the oppression of the people by local officials and make the people live more comfortably."
Lao Zhu nodded slightly in his heart, he could still hear good things.
Besides, when it comes to public opinion, he still has to pay attention.
"Of course, anyone who stamps a seal in private without asking for instructions must be punished."
"Otherwise, where is the majesty of the imperial court?"
"Where does the emperor's authority lie?"
"The severity of the punishment depends on the official's evaluation in the hearts of the local people."
"As for corrupt officials, they will be killed and no one will be spared. All their property will be confiscated."
"Not killing is not enough to make the people angry."
Zhu Biao said the last sentence sonorously and forcefully.
"Haha, what our prince said is so good."
Lao Zhu suddenly changed his face and became very happy. He liked Zhu Biao's decisive look in killing.
"Father, another thing is that this result can minimize the impact of this case on Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao continued.
"Then let's do what you said. We can not kill the honest and capable ministers, but demote them and keep them in office." Lao Zhu thought for a moment and agreed to Zhu Biao's suggestion. After all, more than half a month had passed and his anger had subsided. That's almost it.
"Father, Holy Ming!" Zhu Biao said.
"Biao'er, tell me the truth, did you come up with all this?"
"You have considered it so comprehensively." Lao Zhu asked.
"Back to my father, this result was reached after consultation with Yang Xuan and several ministers." Zhu Biao said honestly.
"Of course, the most critical points were all proposed by Yang Xuan." Zhu Biao added.
"Yang Xuan, is it him again?" Lao Zhu frowned slightly. He didn't pursue the matter of this boy's seduction with his daughter last time because of the prince.
Now it seems that Yang Xuan had a lot of effort behind the answer sheet that Zhu Biao gave him.
"Exactly." Zhu Biao didn't know what Lao Zhu was thinking, and thought his father was confirming it.
"Is this kid still honest with you?"
Lao Zhu asked.
"Back to my father, Yang Xuan helped me a lot."
"His talents have now been initially reflected. It seems that Erchen's choice was not wrong."
"Hmph, don't jump to conclusions too quickly."
"He is still young now, and no one knows what will happen in the future."
Lao Zhu reminded.
"Father is right." Zhu Biao did not argue with Lao Zhu on this. There was no need. Time will prove everything.
"Well, although the case has been resolved, there are still a lot of issues that need to be dealt with afterwards."
"For example, the discrepancy between the accounts reported by this place and the accounts reviewed by the Accounts Department needs to be resolved urgently."
"Otherwise, this blank seal case may happen again."
"Since you value Yang Xuan so much, let him solve it for us."
"In addition, Yang Xuan is appointed as the supervisor of this case."
Lao Zhu said slowly.
"My son, I obey!"
…
"What, appoint me as the supervisor and ask me to solve the follow-up problems of the Kongyin case?"
"Your Highness, I am still a child!"
In the East Palace, Yang Xuan jumped up when he heard the order brought by Zhu Biao.
"Just you? I don't see how you look like a child." Zhu Biao said angrily.
"Your Highness, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me." Yang Xuan said quickly.
"Haha!" Zhu Biao chuckled and looked at Yang Xuan quietly.
However, Zhu Biao underestimated Yang Xuan's face.
The latter was not moved at all.
In the end, Zhu Biao was defeated. He didn't have Yang Xuan's shamelessness.
"Don't think blindly. This is my father's will. You have to accept it even if you don't accept it." Zhu Biao said.
"All right!"
"But I don't know if I can come up with a solution." Yang Xuan lowered his head and said.
"If you can come up with a solution, I can't think of a way for you and my little sister to meet." At this time, Zhu Biao said quietly.
"Your Highness, are you serious about this?" Yang Xuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhu Biao.
"When has Gu ever lied to someone?" Zhu Biao raised his head at 45 degrees, exuding a faint aura.
"I must come up with a solution as soon as possible." Yang Xuan said immediately.
He hadn't seen An Qing for a long time. To be honest, it was really weird.
Thinking about it, he was the one who wanted to cut off contact with Anqing before, and now he is the one who wants to meet.
No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like that!
However, aren’t people so complicated?
Yang Xuan like this just shows that he is a normal person!
Seeing Yang Xuan's excitement, the corners of Zhu Biao's lips raised slightly.
Baby, I can’t control you anymore?
The acquiescence and indulgence given to Yang Xuan and An Qing before were just for use at times like this!
As for why he doesn't use power to suppress others, that's because Zhu Biao understands Yang Xuan, and Yang Xuan is different from others.
If he really did that, he would never be able to win over Yang Xuan's heart.
Just joking among friends like this can not only bring feelings closer, but also make it easier to get along.
Of course, this model only applies between him and Yang Xuan.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
