"Even the Right Prime Minister, you can't investigate our Ministry of Industry for no reason, right?"
Zhang Bing said to the two Zhongshu Provincial officials.
Although he is only a minister, the level gap between him and the right prime minister is still quite large.
However, there is not a strong superior-subordinate relationship between the Sixth Department and the Zhongshu Provincial Department. In addition, Zhang Bing now has the important task of building the Firearms Bureau, so he behaved quite strongly in the face of these two Zhongshu Provincial officials.
"Master Zhang, we have no intention of embarrassing the Ministry of Industry, but this is the order of the Right Prime Minister. Unknown people come to the Ministry of Industry with the intention of doing something evil. We can only come to investigate according to the order of the Prime Minister."
If Zhang Bing doesn't cooperate, the two of them can only respond more forcefully.
Just saying nice things will only make this matter fruitless.
And if Yang Xian's instructions are not handled properly, the consequences will only be more serious.
"Unknown person?"
Zhang Bing sneered and said: "What are you kidding? Don't say nonsense, otherwise I will stab your majesty directly, and the right prime minister will not be able to protect you!"
Yang Xian was so tough and made things out of nothing, which directly angered Zhang Bing.
His reply was not polite at all, nor did he mean to give in at all.
"Master Zhang, do you really want to disobey the Prime Minister's order?"
The two had no choice but to move out of Yang Xian again.
Zhang Bing said without fear: "If you are able, let Prime Minister You come here in person, otherwise you two will not be able to step into the Ministry of Industry today!"
Zhang Bing had long been disgusted with Yang Xian's rebellious and cruel behavior.
He is young, holds the position of minister, and is also an ambitious person with ideals and pursuits.
Others may be afraid of Yang Xian, but Zhang Bing is not afraid of him!
"Okay, Master Zhang, we will tell the Prime Minister exactly what you said today."
The two of them were so frustrated that they could only say harsh words and leave angrily.
Zhang Bing frowned, he was quite surprised by the sudden arrival of Zhongshu Province.
Although Yang Xian was indeed quite crazy after becoming the Prime Minister of the Right, and many officials were murdered, they were all officials from the subordinate departments of Zhongshu Province.
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of the Ming Dynasty. Although some of the work overlaps with the Zhongshu Province, Yang Xian's hand should not be stretched so long.
"Unknown person? Are you referring to Uncle Ren Yuan?"
Zhang Bing murmured to himself.
Zhu Biao and Su Jing's arrival was indeed not informed to anyone, and even Su Jing's identity was only known to him.
Could it be that Yang Xian was targeting Su Jing?
Zhang Bing quickly realized the key to the matter, but he didn't understand why Yang Xian targeted Su Jing.
From his perspective, there seems to be no conflict between the two people, and there shouldn't be any conflict.
…
Zhongshu Province.
"That's unreasonable! How dare a mere servant to be so arrogant? Do you think that the truth can't do anything to you?"
Yang Xian, who had just listened to the report, was very angry. Zhang Bing's attitude made him feel that his dignity had been damaged.
His own people couldn't even enter the gate of the Ministry of Industry, let alone investigate what Su Jing was doing.
"Prime Minister, Zhang Bing really doesn't take you seriously at all. I think there must be something fishy in the Ministry of Works!"
An official knelt on the ground and said more jealously to Yang Xian.
Zhang Bing had just lost face, so he naturally wanted to get it back.
This is human nature. At the beginning, he thought Yang Xian's order was somewhat inconsistent with the rules and procedures. Now he just wants to take revenge on Zhang Bing.
"It seems that the Ministry of Industry is going to clean it up. You should step back first."
Yang Xian waved his hand, returned directly to his office, and immediately started writing notes.
When he was the Prime Minister You, he even dared to mess with Wang Guangyang, the Prime Minister You, not to mention that he is now the Prime Minister You.
As soon as he finished writing the book, he had it delivered to the palace.
At the same time, he also sent a team of people to go directly to the Ministry of Industry to get people.
…
Inside the palace.
Zhu Biao has arrived at Fengxian Hall, which is in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, Master Su is about to go to the Ministry of Industry now, and the construction of the Firearms Bureau can start soon."
Zhu Biao reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Very good, you did a good job in this matter, Biao'er."
Lao Zhu was very happy that the Firearms Bureau could be put into construction as soon as possible. After all, this meant that the combat power of the Ming Dynasty army was rapidly increasing.
"It's all thanks to Master Su."
Zhu Biao spoke for Su Jing, and then said: "Father, I think that Master Su has been away from home for a long time, so it is time for him to go home and visit."
Zhu Biao always kept in mind that Su Jing wanted to go home.
Now that he finally found an opportunity, he immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he fell silent.
It was unusually quiet in the huge Fengxian Hall.
Zhu Biao looked at his father and said nothing. He knew that this matter was not an easy decision for his father.
These days, Su Jing has solved too many problems for Ming Dynasty in Yingtian Mansion.
Even though Lishui County is very close to Yingtian Mansion, solving the problem personally is something that cannot be done in Lishui County.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not only his father, but also the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, I agree."
After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded.
"real?"
Zhu Biao was a little surprised and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, are you no longer forcing Master Su to enter the court?"
Letting Su Jing join the Ming Dynasty court has been Zhu Yuanzhang's long-cherished wish since he met Su Jing.
As for becoming the emperor of tomorrow, Lao Zhu can do most of the things he wants.
Unfortunately, Lao Zhu has never been able to accomplish such a thing.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was really surprised that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed so simply.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, in your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"
Zhu Biao thought for a while, nodded and said: "On the issue of Master Su, my father is indeed unreasonable."
…
There was a row of black lines on Lao Zhu's face.
Good guy, my favorite son actually said this to me, just because of Su Jing!
Su Jing, you are so virtuous and capable, how dare you sow discord between our father and son!
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Su Jing in his heart, glared at Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, is that what you said about your father?"
Zhu Biao felt a little resentful and said, "Thank you very much, Father, for your generosity. I will go back and tell Master Su that you can go home."
"etc!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Zhu Biao and said, "Biao'er, if you're not curious, how could I be so sure?"
Lao Zhu really wanted to teach Zhu Biao everything, down to the smallest detail.
Zhu Biao paused and replied: "Master Su is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. My father must have the heart to love and cherish talents, so he agreed."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Biao'er, what you said is too simple. I must like talents, but what I like is not just talents."
Zhu Biao was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "What I like are talents who can be used by the Ming Dynasty."
The implication of this is obvious, Su Jing is really a talent that can be used by the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao did not follow what Lao Zhu said, but asked: "Father, what about talents who cannot be used by the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned cold, and murderous intent suddenly emerged: "Then he is not a talent, but a hidden danger. He must be killed to eliminate future troubles!"
Feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention, Zhu Biao felt chilled.
Zhu Biao was not very resistant to killings. He had personally handled many cases and supervised the execution of prisoners.
But because of such a reason, Zhu Biao still couldn't bear it, or couldn't accept it.
"What, Biao'er, do you think your father is particularly cruel and a tyrant?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised at all by Zhu Biao's expression.
Lao Zhu has always planned and designed Zhu Biao's growth, and he has always been in control of the performance he should have at each stage of his growth.
Learning the way of the emperor is a continuous process.
Now leaving Zhu Biao behind to tell him this is also a kind of teaching.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to teach Zhu Biao these things so quickly. After all, Zhu Biao had just grown up.
But under Su Jing's guidance, Zhu Biao seemed to have undergone some unexpected changes.
Of course, that's not to say these changes are bad.
But for the prince Zhu Biao, such a change is not suitable.
Zhu Yuanzhang now wants to bring Zhu Biao back.
"Father, I understand what my father means. As an emperor, you naturally consider your interests, but that's not the case."
Zhu Biao replied.
As a prince who received high-end education since childhood, Zhu Biao is actually very precocious.
There are many things that he can understand on his own without Lao Zhu teaching him.
It can only be said that I have been with Su Jing for too long, and I have been affected a little too much.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "What do you mean it's not like this? Biao'er, we have worked hard to manage the Ming Dynasty just to hand it over to your hands safely, don't you understand?"
Zhu Biao was silent for a moment and said: "Father, what is your attitude towards Master Su? From my perspective, Master Su will not enter the court."
The key is still Su Jing.
Zhu Biao really didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to do something irreparable to Su Jing one day.
Su Jing is not Liu Bowen, and she has the spirit to endure Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term house arrest.
When that day came, Zhu Biao had no idea what to do.
"Huh! It's still Su Jing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Zhu Biao's performance.
In other words, in his opinion, Zhu Biao's feelings for Su Jing were too deep, and this should not be the emotion that a future emperor should have.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Biao'er, your father and I know very well about Su Jing. It is precisely because of the knowledge that I have to tell you that it doesn't matter if Su Jing does not enter my court, but he must enter your court. If When the time comes, he still doesn’t want to, so you can’t be soft!”
Lao Zhu had already made plans in mind for Su Jing's arrangements.
In other words, this was what Queen Ma thought was the best way after discussing with him.
After all, Su Jing is still young and has a long time, so it is just right to assist Zhu Biao.
But what Lao Zhu is most worried about is that Zhu Biao respects Su Jing too much and will not be able to control Su Jing by then. This is something Lao Zhu never wants to see.
At this moment, he was giving Zhu Biao a reminder, or in other words, an instruction.
"Father, Master Su and my son are masters and disciples. My son will never force Master Su to do anything."
Zhu Biao's answer was categorical, without any compromise at all.
It's not that he won't cheat and deceive Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily, but he is unwilling to do so.
No matter what, Lao Zhu is his father and the father he is closest to and respects the most!
"Zhu Biao!"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly called out Zhu Biao's full name, and he was really angry.
I struggled to speak for a long time, but Zhu Biao didn't listen to a word.
If it were another emperor, even if it were a prince, he would be so rebellious when he was just an adult. It would be better if he was older.
For most emperors in history, the prince was a competitor for his power and had to ensure the stability of his power at all times.
It's not a bad idea to change the prince.
But Lao Zhu is different from Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao can be regarded as the most stable prince in the history of the feudal dynasty. If he rebels, Zhu Yuanzhang will probably have to give him advice.
"Father, Master Su is free and easy-going. If you force him to do something he doesn't want to do, it will only be counterproductive. I believe that even if Master Su does not join the court, he can still contribute to the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao said seriously to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In terms of understanding Su Jing, Zhu Biao is definitely the first person.
Although Zhu Biao didn't know that Su Jing had such advanced black technology, he could clearly feel that Su Jing didn't have that much respect for the imperial power.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Biao's words and said coldly: "Biao'er, one day you will understand the painstaking efforts of being a father. Okay, you can go down."
Faced with such a determined Zhu Biao, Lao Zhu did not choose to continue his education after all.
After all, my son is an adult and it is normal to have his own ideas.
A qualified heir to the Ming Emperor cannot rely on himself to help make decisions in everything.
"Yes, Father."
As soon as Zhu Biao left, a memorial was delivered to him.
"Your Majesty, this is the information urgently sent by Right Prime Minister Yang Xian."
The eunuch reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Send it up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
Soon, the envelope came into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. He opened it and looked slightly solemn.
Yang Xian actually directly sued the Ministry of Works for embezzlement and perversion of the law, suspected of project fraud and corruption, and wanted to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Works.
"You actually reached out to the Ministry of Industry. Yang Xian, Yang Xian, you are really becoming more and more courageous."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Now that he has some understanding of Yang Xian's behavior, Lao Zhu will definitely look at it with suspicion no matter what he does.
The engineering problems of the Ministry of Industry had already been disclosed in the year-end audit a year ago.
At that time, Lao Zhu had already dealt with a large number of officials, and Yang Xian's suggestion was targeted no matter how you look at it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to reject it when he started writing, but then he thought of something.
After thinking for a short time, Lao Zhu picked up the brush and wrote a reply of approval on it.
"Come here, please send this book back immediately."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Although Yang Xian is already destined to end, Lao Zhu has always been a master who makes the best use of everything. Before Yang Xian is dealt with, he still wants to use Yang Xian again.
Soon someone took the fold away and quickly sent it to Zhongshu Province according to Lao Zhu's instructions.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows were cold and his eyes were deep.
