The next day, the incident of Zhu Youlang's exile to Wang Kun to guard the tomb spread throughout the court and the civil and military officials all said that this was a virtue and a knowledgeable person. From this incident, he saw that the emperor was determined to reform the bad politics, so he sent various memorials and essays to the palace, and the praises in them fully expressed their admiration.

Zhu Youlang ignored all these memorials and asked Chen Bowen to archive the matter.

After Wang Fuzhi left, Chen Bowen took over as a bachelor's degree and was specifically responsible for the emperor's literary servants.

As a close minister of the emperor, Chen Bowen can be said to be a hot figure, but he basically doesn't speak much. He does whatever the emperor ordered and works diligently as a "secretary" and never acts beyond his authority.

Of course, Zhu Youlang knew that he was so cautious because his father Chen Jitai and his wife were involved in a treason. However, after a while, he found that Chen Bowen was not only meticulous in his work, but also had great literary talent. Whenever he ordered him to draft an order, he had almost finished his words. Not only was he quick, but he also used precise words and concisely, which was very consistent with Zhu Youlang's taste.

How could Zhu Youlang not like such a secretary? So he officially left him by his side.

Chen Bowen was a little wary of the emperor's kindness at first, and slowly discovered that the emperor did not "look at him differently" because of his father and wife's affairs. Not only did he not blame or embarrass him, he was intimate and did not avoid him in all military and national affairs. This mind and ambition, coupled with his extensive knowledge and superhuman knowledge, slowly impressed him.

...

"After returning home today, I must persuade my father. No civil and military officials in the court have been awarded titles. He is a guilty man and is the only uncle in the court. There are many emperors, so we must be ignorant. If we don't know anything, we may cause trouble for the family." Chen Bowen thought while packing up the memorial.

"Bowen, draw an order." Chen Bowen was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the emperor's order, and quickly put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the pen, and waited for the emperor to speak.

"I sent a member to Xishan, Xunzhou Prefecture, Guangxi to visit Dai Yilan's family background, and also told her mother about my intention to take Dai as her concubine to ask for her opinions." Zhu Youlang said.

After listening to it, Chen Bowen pondered for a moment, and read it without adding any more words.

Zhu Youlang took it and looked at it. He nodded with satisfaction, used a seal, and ordered Li Hong to send the imperial edict to the Tongzhengsi.

Li Hong was a newly promoted eunuch by Zhu Youlang after Wang Kun left.

Li Hong came back shortly after he went there, with a look of anger on his face.

"Emperor, the imperial edict was rejected by the Minister of Etiquette, Nakata Yingyuan." Li Hong bowed and replied.

"What? The ban was rejected?" Zhu Youlang was shocked. He took the imperial edict and saw that he had really returned it intact.

"Why do you reject it?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Mr. Tian has another memorial here."

“Show it.”

Zhu Youlang took Tian Yingyuan's memorial and found that the reason for his refutation was because Dai Yilan was a Zhuang family girl and said with a high sound "I am afraid that the royal bloodline will be impure in the future."

Zhu Youlang was furious, what a trick? I have said long ago that no matter which ethnic minority it is, all my Ming people are my Ming people. Do you still advocate Han chauvinism for me? In addition, what does it mean to "afraid of the impure royal bloodline"? Could it be that my descendants and her descendants are not my bloodline?

What made Zhu Youlang most angry was that he felt a trace of conspiracy from this matter.

I don’t need eunuchs anymore, what else do you want? Do you want my decree to be unable to leave the Qinzheng Hall?

"Li Hong, I passed my oral order. Tian Yingyuan publicly resisted the imperial edict and despised me. He had ulterior motives. He ordered the commander of the Jinyiwei, Ma Jixiang, to immediately lock Tian Yingyuan and go to the imperial prison for interrogation to find out if he had any accomplices." Zhu Youlang said in a cold tone.

Chen Bowen and Li Hong both heard a trace of murderous aura from the emperor's tone. The two of them didn't know what was written in Tian Yingyuan's memorial, which made the always gentle and calm emperor so angry.

"Abide by the order." Li Hong replied loudly and withdrew from the Qinzheng Hall.

...

Two days later, Tian Yingyuan was arrested and imprisoned. The court and the country were in an uproar, and the memorial flew into the palace like snowflakes.

"The emperor, the memorials are divided into three categories. One is headed by Yang Qiaoran, the chief censor, and exonerated Tian's crimes on the grounds that the censors could be heard and reported. He asked the emperor to immediately return Tian. The second category is headed by Li Shangshu. He praised Tian's actions on the grounds that his intentions were not the same as the race. He thought that the emperor wanted to accept Dai's actions were inappropriate. The third category was endorsed by the emperor's actions, and the generals headed by Jiao Lian and Jiao." Chen Bowen divided the memorials into three categories and reported to Zhu Youlang.

Zhu Youlang saw the highest in the middle, the second, the second, the third, the least, and the last, and the last, the second, the last, and the last, and sneered in his heart.

"Did no other ministers have submitted memorials except Shangshu Li?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"No."

"Have the diary sent to various places?"

"It's been sent."

"Well, okay, wait. Let's stay these memorials for now."

"Emperor, my father has a memorial to memorial him."

"Oh? Come on."

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he thought, "Does Chen Jitai want to join in the fun?" Can't stand the loneliness?"

When I saw the memorial, I actually asked for a title to be changed!

Zhu Youlang glanced at Chen Bowen and said, "Yuanzhang, you have to spend time with me. You should know that I am not a small belly, so you don't have to be nervous. As long as your father replies, I will not seize the mistakes of the past."

"Emperor, my father's intention is to be unfair to receive the reward without any merit. The emperor has kept his dignity and did not lose the reputation of the rioters. He is already very grateful to the emperor's grace. Moreover, there is only one loyal and brave uncle in the court, and my father is also afraid that the tree will attract the wind, so he begged the emperor to take back the title." Chen Bowen knelt down on the ground and replied carefully.

"Okay, what you said is reasonable, then you will be allowed to report." Zhu Youlang said.

"I thank you for your kindness." When Chen Bowen heard this, he felt relieved.

The family is worry-free!

"Your second brother is called Zhongwu? What is your third brother's name? Do you study?"

"My second brother Zhongwu and third brother Ji Cai are not interested in studying, but he is very concerned about calligraphy, painting and business."

"Go back and comfort your father, and have some fun food for the rest of your life. Since your third brother is willing to do business, let him make his business bigger. Now the court encourages industry and commerce, which is a good time to revitalize the family business. As for your second brother, go back and ask, if you want to join the army, go to the imperial guards to serve as deputy position of Li Yuanyin. If you don't want to join the army, you can go to the Jinyiwei as deputy envoy." Zhu Youlang said.

Chen Bowen was overjoyed when he heard this. The emperor meant that old people should not expect to be promoted, just spend a happy old age. The younger people can give you a chance.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by me? I will never repay you with great kindness!"
