Ouyang Lun had no idea what he had committed and looked surprised.
"I am the emperor's consort, who dares to attack me?"
Xia Shu snorted coldly and raised his hands in the direction of the palace: "Your Majesty has decreed that Ouyang Lun is corrupt and perverts the law and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. He will be taken to the Ministry of Punishment for trial!"
"This is a false accusation, I want to see His Majesty!"
Xia Shu glanced at him indifferently, too lazy to talk nonsense.
"take away!"
He knew very well in his heart that if the princess came, Ouyang Lun might not be able to take her with her.
So we need to cut through the mess quickly.
…
When Princess Anqing rushed over, it was already too late, so she hurried towards the palace.
When he saw his daughter, Lao Zhu also had a bad expression.
"Needless to say, Ouyang Lun is really generous. He actually spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy other people's property."
"We just want to ask, where did this money come from?"
Princess Anqing has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time. Although she knows a little about Ouyang Lun's actions, she doesn't know much about it.
"Father, but he is my daughter's husband. I hope that my father can be extra merciful."
"Taking bribes and perverting the law, let alone the prince-in-law, even our son has nothing to say!"
Lao Zhu is determined to deal with Ouyang Lun this time, and there is no chance for anyone to say so.
Wait until the crying Princess Anqing leaves.
Lao Zhu sighed and shook his head gently.
Something happened suddenly, and with Lao Zhu's supervision, the efficiency of the Criminal Department improved.
The evidence found was conclusive, and Ouyang Lun ordered him to be punished as a warning to others.
Zhu Yan's side.
I got one hundred thousand taels of silver for free, and I felt so happy that I was planning to expand my property.
When he looked up, he saw Lao Zhu walking in the door with a sullen face.
He rushed forward to greet him.
"Grandpa Huang, why are you back today free?"
"Come out and relax in the morning."
Lao Zhu replied casually and asked again after sitting down.
"How did you know that Ouyang Lun was corrupt and perverting the law?"
Zhu Yan touched his nose.
"Actually, this is all obvious. He is a consort who visits brothels all day long. Where does the money come from?"
"All that is earned in the serious industry is hard-earned money, and it makes everyone feel bad when they spend it!"
The truth is indeed good, Lao Zhu nodded lightly.
Seeing that Lao Zhu was in a bad mood, Zhu Yan reached into his arms and took out something: "Grandpa Huang, I have already written what you asked me to write two days ago."
Hearing this, Lao Zhu reached out and took it, unfolded it, and raised his eyebrows.
"What do you mean? Do you want me to use my own money to help those businessmen do business?"
As expected, it was Lao Zhu who was always on guard against the businessman.
Zhu Yan quickly explained: "Actually, this matter has to be looked at from two sides."
"Silver cannot be used to generate money if it is kept in a warehouse, so why can't it be given to those merchants?"
Lao Zhu frowned when he heard this.
"The imperial court has too many places to spend money, and it's not their turn yet."
"But Grandpa Huang, you can make money quickly only if money begets money." Zhu Yan was on the side and was teaching him well.
In Lao Zhu's view, the money that goes into his pocket belongs to him.
Others want to touch?
no way!
So he said immediately.
"Take this one, we think your method may work."
Zhu Yan felt a little helpless.
It seems that I can't explain it to Lao Zhu, so I can only let time speak.
Now Ming Dynasty is short of money.
That's because of the war. For example, Zhu Di, the king of Yan in the north, has been busy since he became a vassal.
So Zhu Yan spoke with careful consideration of his tone.
"In fact, there are not many remnants of the Yuan Dynasty now, and the war in the north can stop for a while."
He said this just because he didn't want King Yan to become too powerful.
After fighting for so many years, the ministers of the court and central government who fought with him were almost becoming the king of Yan.
Hearing this, Lao Zhu's eyebrows rose.
"Military and national affairs are nothing to play with. Don't talk nonsense."
"If we don't fight now, will we be able to fight again in the future?"
As the founding emperor, Lao Zhu certainly had this kind of worry, so he had to do what needed to be done before talking about it.
But when he said this, he suddenly sighed.
"Nowadays, our Ming Dynasty is not peaceful either. There are rioters in Hanzhong who are causing trouble and are rising up."
"The imperial court's money is being spent like running water, and there is no money left in the national treasury."
"By the way, did you take one hundred thousand taels of silver from Ouyang Lun before?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yan had a bad feeling in his heart.
What's the matter, the old man is starting to make up his own mind?
"Grandpa Huang, that's money, and I didn't steal it."
"But that money was obtained by Ouyang Lun through corruption and fraud!"
By the end of the sentence, Lao Zhu's tone had improved a bit!
It seems that grandpa is really worried about money, otherwise he wouldn't come and ask for money.
It sounded so nice before.
He said that if you encounter difficulties, you can reach out to him.
Now that's good, let's start posting!
Zhu Yan didn't care. There were so many things in his mind, and he was getting a lot of money in minutes.
"Grandpa has already spoken, so my grandson has nothing to say."
"It's just that I want to buy some properties. Grandpa, is there any suitable place?"
If you want to get your money in vain, there is no way!
Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows and sounded a little unhappy.
"What's the matter? As a royal nobleman, you don't want to contribute to the country? Do you still want to keep fooling around like this?"
After saying this, Zhu Yan felt a little aggrieved.
"You can't say that. I am doing business for the good of the Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, if the imperial court opens a bank in the future, I can also help out."
At this point, he sighed.
"During this period, I also saw the faces of those powerful people."
“So I think it’s better to run some industries properly.”
He spoke from his heart.
Neither the Lu brothers nor Ouyang Lun are fools.
The reason for doing such stupid things.
the reason is simple.
That's because they are used to being domineering and domineering, and they don't take ordinary people into account at all.
I always feel that I am superior.
When you hit the iron plate, your true colors are revealed!
The thought of dealing with such people all day gave him a headache.
Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, and his tone became a little softer.
"But it always seems a bit inappropriate to do business in your capacity."
There is a door!
Zhu Yan grinned and said immediately.
"That's okay. As long as I don't reveal my identity, then it'll be fine, right?"
"Do you really plan to be in business for the rest of your life?" Lao Zhu asked solemnly at this time.
Zhu Yan had his own plan in mind.
Lao Zhu is now very old, even though he is already working on creating life-saving medicine.
But no one can predict when the old man will travel westward.
Instead of going into the muddy waters of the imperial court.
It would be more practical to be a rich man.
So he smiled immediately.
"What's wrong with that? Isn't my grandson's money just my grandfather's money?"
"Grandpa's money is naturally the money of the Ming Dynasty!"
