East Palace.

Zhu Biaozheng was writing a letter with great interest, intending to inform Gu Zhengchen of the news of stopping the Central Capital.

Before going to Fengyang, Gu Zhengchen had reminded him several times that he must go out among the people and take a look. Looking back now, Gu Zhengchen may not have been a whim or an inadvertent reminder, but more like a deliberate instruction.

Crown Princess Chang came over with a plate of mulberries and placed it on the table. She glanced at the letter and smiled: "Are you writing to Mr. Gu again?"

Zhu Biao placed the brush on the inkstone: "It's a big event, it's better to let him know as soon as possible."

Mrs. Chang picked up a mulberry and when there was no one else around, she put it into Zhu Biao's mouth: "Yesterday, the Marquis of Pingliang came to visit and asked us to persuade His Majesty not to give up many years of hard work. Unexpectedly, His Majesty made a decree today..."

Zhu Biao liked mulberries very much and ate several of them: "A group of people only care about the interests of the family and completely forget about the interests of the court. It is a good thing to stop or stop, and it will prevent these nobles from sitting in Huaixi and disturbing the imperial court." "

Chang knew that the nobles of Huaixi supported the establishment of the capital in China, and they were originally just one:

That's my hometown.

After I go back, I can brag about it with my poor friends and neighbors. I was so poor that I was a beggar and a bandit. As a result, now I am a famous marquis, wearing the best clothes and riding the most powerful car. A huge horse, followed by a group of guards.

The reason why they support the establishment of Fengyang as the capital is to return home in rich clothes, but they oppose the suspension of the Central Capital because all their industries will be wasted...

Mrs. Chang also knew the consequences of being a noble and powerful person, so she persuaded him: "Having said that, as a prince, it is difficult for His Majesty to come out to appease him. As the prince, you should stand up and say a few words."

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly: "It is better for me not to participate in this kind of thing, and my father will not allow it."

"Why?"

Chang didn't understand.

After the stoppage of the Zhongdu project, the most injured were the nobles of Huaixi. Shouldn't the royal family step forward to appease him?

Zhu Biao picked up his pen and moistened his ink and said: "I am a prince, so he should not get too close to the Dukes and Counts. This is one. Second, stopping or stopping is an offending thing. Since my father, the emperor Once it is done, it will naturally be done thoroughly. As a father, he will not leave any trouble for his son, and he does not want to see his son get involved in trouble. The father has made his own decision in this matter, and if he gets involved rashly, it will easily lead to chaos. Father’s plan.”

"As for the third one, the nobles of Huaixi are dissatisfied. If Gu comes to appease them and cannot give them what they want, it is inevitable that they will have resentment towards Gu Sheng. Gu Fei is the father of the emperor. He has the means to control the nobles of the ministers and orders. The majesty they were in awe of.”

Mrs. Chang was surprised and saluted: "I am a reckless concubine and should not persuade the prince to act..."

Zhu Biao didn't mind.

Although women are not allowed to participate in government affairs, it is not appropriate for her to be her bed partner and not know anything about government affairs. However, her knowledge is not enough to give appropriate countermeasures.

Now that there are no outsiders in the room, it would be a good idea to talk to relieve the boredom.

Seeing that Zhu Biao still wanted to write a letter, Mrs. Chang helped sort out the scattered documents on the desk: "I heard from people in the palace that the drought in Shangyuan County is quite serious."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly: "Yes, Sun Keyi, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, has already written a memorial, intending to ask Yan to spare Xia Rui. There are many drought-prone places, including Lishui County, Danyang County, Jurong County and other places."

“Is there also a drought in Jurong County?”

Chang was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Biao wrote a few lines, put away the pen, picked up the paper and blew a few breaths: "Yes, there is a drought in Mr. Gu's place, but Mr. Gu did not write a document asking for summer tax exemption."

"Why?"

Chang was confused.

At this point in time, drought occurs in the local area, and a reduction in production is basically inevitable, and it may even turn into a total harvest. If you report it to the court early, it will be better for the court to arrange for officials to verify the situation as soon as possible, and avoid those that should be exempted, and open those positions that should be opened. There is a disaster but no report is made, and the summer tax remains the same as in previous years. Isn't this a trap for the people?

Zhu Biao folded the paper, stuffed it into the envelope, sealed it with red paint, and stamped it with a seal: "Because he is Mr. Gu, and he is a county magistrate who wants to solve the food problem of Jurong people. How could it be because of a little drought?" Just open your mouth and complain."

Mrs. Chang smiled: "So, Mr. Gu is really not——"

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Biao saw that Chang stopped talking mid-sentence, his face became a little pale, and he covered his chest with his hands, as if he was extremely uncomfortable.

Before Mrs. Chang could speak, she turned around and ran out of the study. After leaving the door, she couldn't hold it any longer and vomited in the flowerpot.

Zhu Biao followed nervously. Seeing Chang's discomfort, he quickly shouted: "Quick, call the imperial doctor!"

Hao Zhicai was invited to the East Palace after being sentenced to death by the imperial hospital.

Long before Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Hao Zhicai had treated Zhu Yuanzhang, and his medical skills were excellent. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he was recruited to be the judge of the Imperial Hospital.

Hao Zhicai entered the East Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, Zhu Biao said eagerly: "It's not even an hour. The princess has vomited three times. Judge Hao, please take a look."

Hao Zhicai quickly put down the medicine box, looked at Chang who was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, took out a thin handkerchief and put it on Chang's wrist, and raised his hand to check for pulse.

Chang looked at Hao Zhicai weakly and asked softly: "Hao Yuanjing, is it because I ate mulberries?"

Hao Zhicai's brows moved slightly, he looked at Mrs. Chang, then at Zhu Biao, and begged: "This matter is of great importance. Please check your pulse directly. If there is any offense, please forgive me, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Zhu Biao immediately agreed: "It doesn't matter, Hao Yuan doesn't have to worry about Jin getting in the way when diagnosing the mother's illness."

Chang became even more nervous.

Hao Zhicai squinted his eyes and felt the pulse carefully. The pulse was surging and powerful, but also as slippery as a bead on a disk. Yes, this was the slippery pulse.

You can't go wrong.

Hao Zhicai stood up and bowed to Zhu Biaoshen: "Congratulations to the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is happy."

"ah?"

Zhu Biao was so shocked that he didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, he quickly asked: "Seriously?"

Hao Zhicai scratched his beard and said, "I have been practicing medicine for decades, so I can never go wrong."

Zhu Biao walked towards the bed, holding Chang's hand, his eyes a little moist.

Mrs. Chang breathed a deep sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Biao with affectionate eyes.

Huagai Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is handling government affairs.

Mu Ying entered the palace and reported: "The Shaanxi army's pay was not delivered in time, and the military's morale was uneasy."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Let the Ministry of Revenue handle this matter. Grain will be transferred from other places to Tongguan, Mengjin, Chenqiao and other places for transshipment."

Mu Ying looked at the tired Zhu Yuanzhang and said with concern: "Your Majesty, the government affairs will be handled properly, but you still need to take care of the dragon body."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the memorials piled up beside him, and said with bitterness: "What can we do if these things are not dealt with? I have been out for a while, and many things have been delayed. Hainan Guard Commander Zhang Ren led his sergeants to kill more than 500 bandits and captured their subordinates. More than 1,400, this always needs my approval, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office can give rewards. There is also a memorial in Guangxi, saying that farming is booming, and the Jingjiang Prince's Palace will wait until Qiu is completed before building it. If I don't agree, he dares to let the people go. Farming?”

There are many things going on, and it is impossible for Zhongshu to decide everything in the world with just one word.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a memorial and handed it to Mu Ying: "At present, there is a drought in Shangyuan, Lishui, Danyang, Jurong and other places. Only Jurong did not send a document about the drought. Some censors impeached Gu Zhengchen for not reporting the knowledge, hiding the disaster, and ignoring Needless to say, whether the people live or die, Chen Ning must be behind it. You should know what is going on in Jurong, right?"

After all, Jurong Guard was subordinate to the Governor's Mansion, and Mu Ying was an important member of the Governor's Mansion.

Mu Ying looked at the memorial and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is no wonder the man from Quanzhou County. Although there is a drought in Jurong, there is no drought in Jurong, so there is no need to submit a memorial."

"oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mu Ying, waiting for an explanation.

Mu Ying did not hide anything and told what she knew: "As early as March, there were already signs of drought. But no one could have expected that the drought would develop to such an extent. Seeing that there would be no rain for a long time, Gu Zhengchen thought that Jurong Lake, The rivers were still full of water, but the land was dry, so they recruited Jurong craftsmen and built a number of waterwheels to divert water from lakes and rivers. They also mobilized the people to dig deep wells and actively produce..."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

Facing the possible drought, Gu Zhengchen took the first step and made a difference to resolve the drought. However, officials in Shangyuan County and other places did nothing and endured the drought.

"This is the difference between a capable minister and a mediocre minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The chamberlain Zhao Xun ran in, kneeling and lying down almost at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face: "How unbecoming is it to be so panicked!"

Zhao Xun didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to get angry, and shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, it's a big happy event, the East Palace is happy, the Crown Princess is happy!"

"really?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, the anger on his face instantly disappeared and turned to excitement.

Zhao Xun said quickly: "It's true, Judge Hao personally diagnosed the pulse!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily: "I stopped in Zhongdu. A group of people were angry and wrote a letter to oppose it. It is at this time of worry that there is such a gratifying thing. Good, good!"

Mu Ying was also happy for Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, and suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty is tired of dealing with government affairs. Would you like to take a walk in the East Palace?"

"Walk."

Zhu Yuanzhang has been looking forward to holding his grandson for a long time.

There is joy in the East Palace, and the whole court is happy.

This is not only a personal matter of Lao Zhu's family, nor Zhu Biao's personal matter, but a matter of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor, and Zhu Biao was the second-generation monarch. The third generation has not yet been seen, and everyone is looking forward to it. Even though Lao Zhu was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhu Biao was still only twenty, but it was not a problem that the prince had not had a son for a long time.

Only when branches and leaves are luxuriant can the court be stable, officials can feel at ease, and trouble will be avoided.

One day later, the letter arrived in Jurong.

After Gu Zhengchen read Zhu Biao's letter, he tilted his head and looked at the envelope. The three words "February Happy" were written on the envelope. The writing was hurried, as if the words were left in a hurry.

Happy February?

What is this?

Who is February?

What’s exciting about February?

Gu Zhengchen was puzzled. He still couldn't solve the mystery when he returned to the magistrate's house. When Zhang Xiwan saw it, he covered his mouth and said: "Husband, this is the second month of happiness. It means there is a happy month, two months..."
