A scholar dies for a confidant.
It's hard to find a confidant, but to die for someone who is kind to you is a matter of course for Wan Jinbiao.
Taisun has always been kind to people like him.
Wan Jinbiao is not afraid of death.
He was already dead in Daluo City, but it was Taisun himself who performed the surgery for him and saved him.
Now, even if he dies, his grandson will still take good care of his children.
Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he can step on it calmly and barefoot.
"You Wan Jinbiao are just a fool!"
Zhu Yunxi cursed in a bad tone and looked at Wan Jinbiao who was kneeling in front of him, pretending to be ready to die.
Wan Jinbiao's face was shocked: "My grandson said that his subordinates are fools, so they are fools."
Facing such a fool, Zhu Yunxi was stunned.
Sun Cheng stood aside and smiled helplessly. He stepped forward and patted Wan Jinbiao on the shoulder: "His Highness never said that he wanted you to die to pay for your sins? You are a fool. You just want to use yourself for nothing." You want to take your life to pay for a crime that was not done by you at all?"
Wan Jinbiao was stunned and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, don't you want me to go and pay the penalty? But if this is the case..."
"If this is the case, the reason why the entire Li family is dying cannot be explained clearly, and the tax office will not be able to escape the blame. Gu and Prince Yan will also be criticized by the court?" Zhu Yunxi shook his head and asked Wan Jinbiao: "Is this what you are thinking in your heart? To use your death to eliminate the impact of this matter on the tax bureau?"
Wan Jinbiao nodded blankly.
"Back then, I was just a coolie working at Dongshuiguan Wharf. His Highness recruited people who were good at water to join the army, so I was able to have enough food to feed my family."
"It was also His Highness who took his subordinates and brothers to Jiaozhi Road. His Highness personally led his subordinates to rush to Daluo City and destroy the Chen Dynasty."
"Since I followed His Highness, my subordinates have never gone hungry again, and their families have surplus food. They are very happy and grateful to Your Highness."
"Now that we have returned to Yingtian, His Highness wants us to be tax collectors and make decisions for the people. We will not let those ambitious people exploit and exploit the people. All my subordinates are happy for the people."
Wan Jinbiao recalled the first half of his life, and then he raised his head and looked at Zhu Yunxi, his eyes filled with tears: "Nothing can happen to the tax office, absolutely nothing can happen! If my subordinate's death can prevent the tax office from getting into trouble, I will Willing to die."
"It's not time for the tax bureau to use you to pay for your crimes!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, his eyes gradually darkened: "They want to make trouble, so help them!"
Wan Jinbiao lowered his head silently.
Some are happy that they don't have to pay for their sins, and some are worried that His Highness will make things worse.
But these are the world's affairs above the temple. He is just a somewhat lucky person, and he can't do much.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at Wan Jinbiao: "The matter has not been investigated yet, so I have to make you stay in this prison for a few more days. When this matter is over, I will give you an explanation."
Wan Jinbiao hurriedly kowtowed again: "I accept the order. As long as nothing happens to the tax office and His Highness is fine, I will not be wronged."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and gave Sun Cheng a look.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Sun Cheng then pulled Wan Jinbiao up and took him outside. He did not forget to warn: "The arrangements have been made here. Although you are temporarily staying in the prison, all the necessary utensils are prepared for you." It’s time to have a good time. It’s time to rest for a few days. Don’t worry about your family. The tax office has already gone to explain. They just said that you were down there on errands.”
As he spoke, Sun Cheng had already led Wan Jinbiao to a clean cell that had obviously been tidied up and lit with candles.
Wan Jinbiao was grateful in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it. He could only clasp his fists and hold his hands in front of his hands: "I have thanked thousands of households."
Sun Cheng waved his hand. He was still busy with the tax office's current affairs. Seeing that Wan Jinbiao had no objections here, he turned around and left, and returned to the interrogation room after a while.
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi was pouring himself a glass of wine.
When he saw Sun Cheng coming back, he pointed to the stool beside him.
Sun Cheng bowed and sat down, straightened his back and whispered in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you want to clear Wan Jinbiao of this crime, you can only find the person who first reported the crime to Wu Hou, who patrolled the city. If you can't find him, arrive……"
Speaking of this case, Sun Chengcheng had a big head.
By now the basic situation of the entire eucalyptus has been understood.
The Li family is also a large gentry family in Yingtian Mansion, and their family has a lot of land.
However, the Li family did not find anything illegal during the tax department's inspection, which can be said to be a good example for Yingtian Mansion.
However, during the process of the tax bureau's rectification of Yingtian Mansion, there were many conflicts with the Li family. In the end, a large-scale conflict broke out between the two parties, which almost turned into a fight. In the end, the Li family lost their job as grain chief, but the family's fields and the money they had accumulated over the years were retained, and they did not have to be included in the next batch of people moving to Jiaozhi Road like those unlucky ones.
Based on this calculation, if Wan Jinbiao, the deputy tax department of Shangyuan County Branch, had a personal grudge and plotted against the Li family's wealth, it would be justified to kill someone and seize property in anger after drinking.
Although there are still many doubts, in the face of witnesses and irrefutable evidence that Wan Jinbiao was captured at the scene, it is almost impossible from the government level to exonerate Wan Jinbiao.
"So, this matter has to be left to you." Zhu Yunxi stared deeply at Sun Cheng, a close friend who was already being discussed whether he should be promoted to deputy mayor of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town: "It must be done before Before the court launches a wave of accountability, find that person for Gu and ask him everything!"
Sun Cheng lowered his head, turned slightly sideways and shouted outside: "Come in."
Then I heard someone respond outside the interrogation room, and then I saw a young man holding a knife wearing a Jinyiwei Baihu uniform. He walked in with his right hand on his waist and the palm of his left hand against the embroidered spring knife on his waist. As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Kneel on one knee in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"My subordinate Zhang Hui from the Jin Yi Guards family is here to see His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."
Zhang Hui, who lowered his head, had a flash of light in his eyes, and his voice was steady and sonorous.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head slightly and took this muscular man into his eyes. A smile appeared on his face: "I know that you, Zhang Hui, came to Gu from the Yulin Guards with Sun Chengyi."
Zhang Hui lowered his head and said in a slightly rippled voice: "Your Highness remembers clearly that I came to His Highness with Qian Hu."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
"These are all the old people around me." Zhu Yunxi sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "How is the progress now? I heard that you are now the best at tracking and investigating in the Jinyiwei Yamen."
Zhang Hui lowered his head and said: "My subordinates have led people to conduct an inventory of the entire Taiping Lane and confirmed that the person who went to the Wuhou office in the patrol city last night to report the news was not a resident of Taiping Lane."
"Well, this is pretty much what I thought." Zhu Yunxi nodded, patted the table next to him with his palms, and raised his eyebrows: "What's next?"
Zhang Hui raised his head: "My subordinates are going to use the Li family's line as a clue to continue the investigation. The gangster will not choose the Li family for no reason, and Wan Jinbiao is not the only one in the city. He is divided between the two counties of Yingtian City. I'm on duty, and my subordinates thought there might be some discoveries along this line."
"Now that we have a plan, let's go with it. I'll be waiting here, waiting for you to bring the person back." Zhu Yunxi whispered, and the white jade ring in his hand was turned silently.
Zhang Hui was a little hesitant. His grandson was a rich man, so he still wanted to stay in such a filthy place as the prison?
Sun Cheng snorted from the side: "Go and do things quickly! How long do you want His Highness to wait here!"
Zhang Hui shuddered and hurriedly lowered his head and clasped his fists: "I accept your orders."
After saying that, Zhang Hui waved his robe and slowly left the interrogation room, then quickly left, gathering people to follow the clues.
In the interrogation room, Sun Cheng hesitated, and finally bowed and walked to his side: "Your Highness, the prison is cold and cold, do you want me to find a clean room outside..."
"I'm just waiting here." Zhu Yunxi's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm: "Those people's methods are so crude, I believe it won't take long before they can be found."
Sun Cheng hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Taisun had no intention of leaving, he could only silently step aside to accompany him.
…………
General Affairs Department.
He is in charge of matters involving internal and external chapters, reports, memorials and refutations, and all matters related to expressing opinions, complaining of grievances, or complaining about wrongdoing.
It can be said that the General Affairs Office, located in front of the right gate of Chang'an and next to the Jinyiwei Yamen, is the microphone through which the memorials of the imperial officials are sent to the emperor.
The order in which the emperor saw the memorials depended, to a large extent, on how the general affairs envoys stacked the memorials.
There is almost a mountain of memorials sent every day from all the prefectures and counties in the world and from the yamen in the capital.
According to the usual practice, the officials of the General Administration Department would redistribute the memorials that were unimportant or completely unnecessary to the emperor to the various ministries and yamen. As for the memorials about Che Luglui's speech, they were simply thrown aside.
Only memorials that really involve government affairs will be sent to the palace.
Today is like every other day.
The officials of the General Administration Department's yamen were walking through the yamen one by one holding memorials over their heads.
"This...this memorial..."
In the duty room, a seventh-grade General Secretary, the Governor, raised his head and looked hesitantly at his colleagues around him.
"Who else is writing random memorials in an attempt to flatter His Majesty?"
A man with a sixth-grade title came over with a bit of disdain on his face.
"Experience is the memorial to impeach Prince Yan..." the governor muttered quietly.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
The experience I just walked through immediately stopped me in my tracks.
But before he could recover, an official who selected memorials for the two of them looked up from the pile of memorials: "My lords, there are several memorials here to impeach Prince Yan."
The young governor and the experienced one looked at each other.
Something big is going to happen in the court!
This is the benefit of being an official in the General Affairs Department. You can always control the direction of the court.
"Quickly, find all the memorials to impeach Prince Yan."
The General Affairs Commissioner gave a low roar, and the officials in the duty room began to rummage around.
After a while, piles of impeachment memorials were delivered to the experience.
"Go find the counselor with me."
As he spoke, he separated half of the impeachment memorial and stuffed it into the young governor's arms, and carried the remaining half out of the check-in room.
The two of them kept walking, and in a blink of an eye, they entered the duty room of the General Affairs Envoy and the Councilors with all the impeachment memorials.
"Two senators, these are the memorials for the impeachment of Prince Yan. I don't dare to decide what the current regulations are. I leave it to you two to make a decision."
The old man, who had been a general affairs envoy for almost his whole life, was very bachelor and took the young governor to stand in front of the councilors of the general affairs envoy, leaving this long-standing and difficult problem to the superior officials to think about.
The left and right counselors looked at each other, and it was already common for people below to throw difficult problems to them.
Counselor Zuo was the first to speak: "Take them and these memorials to Zuo Tongzheng, and I will ask the General Secretary for instructions on how to handle this matter."
The right counselor's face was tense. After hearing this, he nodded silently and walked straight out without looking at the experience and the governor who came with the memorial.
Seeing this situation, the two knew that the matter was no longer their business, so they naturally followed behind happily holding the memorial.
Councilor Zuo, on the other hand, was already rushing to the official residence of the General Secretary.
"Your Majesty, the direction of the court has changed, and the officials are impeaching Prince Yan."
In the public house where General Secretary General Si General Secretary came to levy, Councilor Zuo lowered his head and clasped his hands and whispered a report.
The general envoy sitting behind the table came to Zheng. He was holding a tea cup in both hands, using the lid to wipe away the foam and broken tea on the tea soup. Then he gently blew the wind around his mouth to disperse it, and then he took the tea soup into his mouth and rolled it around his teeth three times. Just turn around and eat it.
"Why are you so panicked?"
Lai Zheng put down his tea cup and finally looked at Councilor Zuo indifferently.
Counselor Zuo immediately bowed and nodded: "I believe that there may be two impeachment matters here. I, the General Secretary, must take precautions and make plans in advance."
Lai Zheng was leaning on his chair. He had just taken over the post of General Affairs Secretary from Ye Huan this year.
The general political envoy of the third rank is one of the nine great ministers of the court.
Once an official reaches this point, he must seek stability in everything.
Lai Zheng's face was calm: "Consultant Zuo, can you tell me, what are these two things?"
Counselor Zuo was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Reporting to your Majesty, I thought that firstly, the courtiers wanted to do something to...the clan, so they used Prince Yan as a lever. Secondly, maybe it was for the tax office. I heard that the deputy tax department of Shangyuan County Branch killed someone last night, and it may be related to this."
Lai Zheng smiled silently: "Consultant Zuo, why do you think this happened?"

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Counselor Zuo frowned and pondered.
There was no rush in coming, but he continued to taste the tea soup he had just made.
After a while, Counselor Zuo raised his head and spoke seriously.
"I thought... maybe it was because of my grandson!"
The tea lid was gently held on the rim of the cup, making a crisp sound.
Lai Zhengdan snorted coldly and put the tea cup on the table with a look of boredom on his face.
"If they are going after the grandson, they can just hand over the memorial to the palace. What are you doing here at Si Yamen?" Lai Zheng had a hint of displeasure on his face, and then continued: " There will be a court meeting in two days. Since they have the guts to impeach, let them go to the court meeting to directly remonstrate the impeachment."
Counselor Zuo's eyes moved slightly, before he bent down and cupped his hands and said: "As for this matter, I, the General Affairs Secretary..."
The man who came to Zheng Dan Dan glanced at Zuo Counselor: "Have you received any memorials about the summer grain harvest on Jiaozhi Road recently? I always want to copy the handwriting of Uncle Gao Fang on Jiaozhi Road."
Fang Bo is another name for the Chief Envoy.
The uncle Gao Fang mentioned in Laizheng was Gao Yangzhi, the youngest feudal official in the Ming Dynasty and the youngest second-rank official in the court in Jiaozhi Road.
Only then did Counselor Zuo react. He took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Lai Zheng with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this is Gao Zheng who just landed at Longwan Pier this morning and was delivered to the Yamen. Fang Bo’s memorial.”
Lai Zheng finally felt something stir in his eyes. He took a second look at Zuo Counselor who could carry Gao Yangzhi's memorial with him, and then took the memorial into his hands.
Lai Zheng's eyes quickly scanned the memorial. After confirming a few numbers, he handed the memorial back to Councilor Zuo with a pleasant expression: "Let your majesty see this memorial first. As for those things that disturb people's peace, then Good review and deliberation.”
The General Affairs Department will review it again.
This means suppressing those memorials to impeach Prince Yan.
Counselor Zuo hid Gao Yangzhi's memorial in his sleeve, bent down and lowered his head: "I obey the order."
Then, Counselor Zuo retreated step by step to the door of the public room, turned around and walked out of the workshop, then turned back and carefully closed the door.
By this time, Lai Zheng's face tightened.
Then he immediately stood up with his feet feeling bouncy, clasped his hands and bowed, left his seat, and went to the side: "I wonder if the official's handling of this is appropriate."
After a screen partition in the corner, Zhu Gaochi slowly walked out.
Seeing Lai Zheng hunched over, he quickly stepped forward to support him.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your Highness asked me to come today just to push this matter away."
Lai Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and whispered with a smile on his face: "Those colleagues in the court are really crazy. They impeached the prince for no reason, and all the salaries given by the court were eaten up. ”
As he spoke, Lai Zheng silently raised his head and took a look at the changes in the face of Prince Yan in front of him.
Zhu Gaochi's expression remained unchanged, and he took Lai Zheng and sat aside: "What the ministers in the DPRK do is their choice. They are all officials in the DPRK, and they are all dedicated to serving the public good, but their starting points are different."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】
Lai Zheng nodded: "Yes, yes, the prince is absolutely right. It's just..."
Lai Zheng looked at the Crown Prince Yan in front of him. Among the clans of the Ming Dynasty, he was the prince with the most military power. He was also top-notch academically in the main hall. Even so, he could still spare time to help his grandson with official affairs.
It was hard to imagine how far the Crown Prince Yan would grow to be one day in the future when his grandson truly came to power.
Now those people want to impeach this person just because of that thing?
Even if it's just for...
You can also change the direction.
Zhu Gaochi smiled, and the expression on his face was always particularly warm: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. My grandson and I have said that as long as he is given a day or two for this matter, the impeachment memorial can be postponed to the next one." Just go to the court meeting. I will never let you be criticized by your fellow courtiers."
"I don't dare." Lai Zhengceng stood up and said, "I am just worried that if the General Secretary suppresses these memorials, when we go back to the court meeting, I am afraid that the courtiers will impeach even more fiercely."
Zhu Gaochi stood up with a smile and looked outside the public room.
"It depends on how big a storm they can make."
