In the small study room of Taisun Mansion, Tian Mai conveyed the message just sent to the ears of Zhu Yunxi, who was still taking a nap.

The eyes that were originally slightly squinted slowly opened.

After resting until this moment, Zhu Yunxi showed no signs of fatigue in his eyes, revealing a sparkle.

I saw him smiling slightly.

"First let me bring you a bowl of Luzhou Prefecture's chicken noodle soup. Once we're full, we'll go back to the palace."

…

Huagai Hall.

The atmosphere in the palace has gradually become lively recently.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and because the grandson's wedding is on this day, Duke Xinguo and Marquis Xiping, whom Your Majesty has not seen for many years, are about to enter Beijing.

All these things made everyone in the palace very busy.

There were palace servants wiping and mopping everywhere.

Inside the palace.

The weather has been going well in the Ming Dynasty recently, with no trouble in the north or south, no worries in the east or west, plenty of money and food, and prosperity in the royal family, which makes the king in the palace and his accompanying ministers live in harmony.

"Xie Jin asked if he could recruit a thousand soldiers from Yingtianfu to build the cement road from Taipingfu Mine to Yingtian City."

The prince sat cross-legged among a pile of memorial desks, picked up a memorial, and looked up at the old man who was still working out the details of his grandson's wedding.

Zhu Gaochi, who had no schoolwork in the main hall today, was qualified to sit next to the prince's uncle, holding a pen and paper to record the uncle's various policy requirements and messages that needed to be conveyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang drew his attention away from the complicated details of the wedding, raised his head and looked over, and asked with a groan: "That boy Jie Jin is still following the road construction on the road?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "He is just a stubborn person. He is worried that something might happen to the road repairers, so he keeps an eye on it day and night. I heard that he has not entered the house three times."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, as if he had remembered something again, and after a while he suddenly smiled and said: "We heard that Gao Yangzhi of Jiaozhi Road was still his disciple, and now he has sneaked into the position of Fang Bo."

"The Jiaozhi Road is an uncivilized place, and the officials in the imperial court complained even when they went to the southeast to serve as officials. The Jiaozhi Road was newly conquered, and all kinds of waste were promoted. It was the time to employ people. Yunxi was ordered to promote them to the official position in the face of danger.

It's what it should be." Zhu Biao explained, but didn't mention a word about the disciples that the old man mentioned.

Zhu Gaochi silently observed the conversation between his grandfather and his uncle, and suddenly felt that his mind was a little lost.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and hummed twice again: "Allow this. Supervise Li Jinglong and tell him to send more Japanese workers back as soon as possible, so that our people don't have to do corvee service all the time."

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded: "I'll take care of it when I get back."

At this point, this matter will probably be over.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke again: "I have decreed that Jie Jin has made great contributions, and that he will be granted the title of Zhi Yin. He will discuss the affairs of the officials, the guests of the Prince of Jin, and the Chief of History of the Grand Sun Palace."

The prince was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Then he looked back at his chubby nephew and said, "Write this down and draft a decree later."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and bowed his head to write down the matter. But there was a movement in his heart. The old man had already begun to create a man for Brother Xi.

What about Yin Xun, the third-rank Zhizhi, Sanjie, the official official of Zhengyi, and the guests of the prince, who are the third-rank officials, but they are all to improve Xie Jin’s official rank. The real one is the Zuo Changshi of the Taisun Mansion, who is only the fifth rank.

.

This is just like the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace, only the most trusted people can be appointed.

At this time.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "I heard that Yunxi went to Jinyiwei yesterday and did not return all night, and finally rested in Taisun Mansion?"

Zhu Gaochi, who was writing with his head lowered, raised his eyebrows and his eyes moved.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and was about to speak, but he heard Sun Banban walking over from the front.

"Your Majesty, Zhan Shangshu and a few others entered the palace to meet the saint, but they are now outside the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked sideways outside the palace: "Let them come in."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked calmly at the prince and his little fat grandson.

Zhu Gaochi slowly raised his buttocks: "Several ministers will meet the saints, my nephew will go first..."

Before Xiaopang finished speaking, Zhu Biao had already raised his head and looked at him with a smile: "Sit safely, I want you to sort through the several memorials I have here."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao packed up several memorials and piled them in front of Xiaopang.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the prince's uncle's face with a warm smile, smiled silently, and sat down again with his hanging buttocks.

Just a small look, but quietly looking towards the entrance of the palace.

After a while, I saw Zhan Hui, Yu Xin, Ren Hengtai and other five members of the military department wearing red robes walking in.

Zhan Hui and others entered the palace today with the intention of clarifying the case of Biao's family with ten thousand dollars from the tax bureau in front of the emperor.

Such a big thing happened in Yingtian City, and the emperor could not be completely ignorant.

But it has been two full days since the incident happened, but nothing has been said in the palace, which makes people very confused.

Now, after Taisun stayed in Jinyiwei all night, he went to Taisun's mansion to rest.

If they don't do anything, something that could have been used will slip through their fingers in vain.

Zhan Hui and others walked into the side hall from outside the Huagai Hall with smooth official steps.

Several people were about to bow to say hello.

But at a glance, he saw Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan, sitting next to the Crown Prince.

Zhan Hui and others couldn't help but look at each other, and there was a tacit understanding in their eyes with a trace of doubt.

Why is Prince Yan here?

"Come here at this hour, you old waiters, are you looking for us to make a living?"

Zhu Yuanzhang straightened himself on the couch, with leisurely eyes and a smile on his face as he stared at Zhan Hui and the others who walked in.

Zhan Hui and others reacted immediately.

Bend and cup your hands.

"I have met with Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Prince Yan."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Forget it. If you want to get extra food, I'll ask Sun Gou to send a message and get extra food now."

Why did the emperor get so serious with Cengfan?

Zhan Hui and the others were depressed, but their faces were filled with fear.

"I don't dare."

"I entered the palace today because I have something to report to Your Majesty, so that I can sort out the affairs of various ministries and stabilize the court."

Zhan Hui carefully thought about his words.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said, "To stabilize the imperial court? Tell me, something happened again in our Ming Dynasty. Can we ask some of you great bachelors and ministers to join the palace together?"

Zhan Hui turned his head silently and glanced at Ru Yu.

Ru Yun then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, after the Chinese New Year, the Beijing camp will take turns. I would like to ask your Majesty, will the rotation of the Beijing camp next year be the same as in previous years?"

The guards of the Beijing army stationed in Yingtian City are mainly supplemented by the Taoist guards of the world under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They take turns entering the capital to change defenses, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the Beijing army at all times and strengthening the deterrence of the Central Army against the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Just go ahead and pass by. The guards in the capital camp are related to the safety of Yingtian. The Ministry of War has taken the trouble."

Ru Yun nodded and cupped his hands: "I accept your order."

Subsequently, Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in this year's calculation of national tax expenditures, should Jiaozhi Road and the anti-Japanese army be included in the calculation? Next year, can we discuss the expenditures of various ministries and departments and various roads in the imperial court?

?”

In recent years, the expenditures and incomes of the Jiaozhi Road and the Japanese Suppressing Army have been calculated in separate books and archived separately. Yu Xin is asking whether this year should these two pieces be included in the accounting for the entire Ming Dynasty.

As for the court's expenses for next year, they will discuss the court's budget for the 28th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then shook his head: "Let's start discussing the expenses next year. The various accounts for the Jiaozhi Road and the anti-Japanese army will still be calculated separately."

Yu Xin lowered his head, his eyes flickered: "I accept your order."

The two major issues of first-class soldiers and taxes are almost finished at this point.

Zhan Hui and others were silent for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the few people quietly and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You'd better stay here with us to eat."

Zhan Hui immediately coughed lightly.

Yu Xin stepped forward again: "Your Majesty, I have heard that the night before yesterday, a massacre occurred in Yingtian City. A total of more than 20 people were brutally murdered in an ordinary family's home in Taiping. The scene was filled with blood and the bodies were found in Ying's home.

Tianfu heard the report and wanted to arrest him, but Jin Yiwei took away the thief who was caught at the scene, and never heard anything about the follow-up."

"I was afraid that the law of the court would be violated, so I made some inquiries, but I didn't expect that the person detained by the Jinyi Guards was actually Wan Jinbiao, deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Department."

"I believe that no matter how Wan Jinbiao was captured in the home of the exterminated family, if this case is not handled properly, the tax bureau and the court will be unfair to the people."

"The Crown Prince of Yan was in charge of all matters in the tax bureau, but he allowed a member of the tax bureau to be involved in the murder of his family in the capital city and under the emperor's feet. The ministers thought that the prince of Yan had made some oversights, so they impeached him."

In the Huagai Hall, Yu Xin, the Grand Scholar of the Wenhua Hall and the Minister of Household Affairs, finished speaking and fell into silence.
