The next morning.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly left the Eastern Palace before daybreak. In the carriage, he kept touching his butt, thinking about what had happened last night and fiercely shaking his head.
Liu Ning called out respectfully from outside the carriage," Young master, are we going to the East Hall first?”
Zhu Zhanji was stunned and said,"No, we're going to court today."
"Yes, Young Master!"
When Zhu Zhanji appeared outside the palace gate, he was stunned. He was actually the last to arrive. Yang Rong, the cabinet scholar, looked at Zhu Zhanji and said with a smile," Your Highness is also coming to the morning court?”
"Yes, yesterday the emperor asked me to be a supervisory censor. Although I have other things on me, there will always be one or two days in the seven days. Today is the first day, so it won't make sense if I don't come."
Yang Rong listened to Zhu Zhanji's words and the corners of his mouth began to twitch. He actually only came for one or two days in seven days. If he did this, would he be hung up and beaten by the Emperor?
Thump!
"Court!"
Zhu Zhanji smiled at Yang Rong and quickly walked towards the back of the civil servants. He lowered his head and followed them in.
The emperors of the Zhu family were different from others. The emperors of the other families came in a dignified manner, while the emperors of the Zhu family came in a peasant manner.
Zhu Di walked over in a rough robe.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Stand up!"
Little Snot came out from the side and shouted,"If there's anything, report it as soon as possible. If there's nothing, withdraw from the court!"”
Yang Rong quickly stood up and said,"I have something to report."
"Speak!"
"Henan, Shandong, and other places have suffered from successive droughts. I request Your Majesty to immediately allocate food and grass to help the victims."
Zhu Di frowned and said,"Minister of Revenue."
"Your humble subject is here."
"We can immediately raise two million catties of grain to transport to Henan and Shandong. This matter cannot be delayed!”
The Minister of Revenue, Old Yang, said with a bitter face,"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue's budget for this year has been severely overspent. The Ministry of Revenue is unable to raise food now."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and said with a cold face," Lord Yang, I think you're confused. It's only August and the Ministry of Revenue already has no money? Where did all the taxes this year go?”
"Your Majesty, repairing the Yongle Hall will use up most of the money and food. The new capital is being built, and your auspicious land is being repaired. A few days ago, there were some strange movements in Liaodong. The Ministry of Revenue is really a clever housewife who can't cook without rice."
Zhu Di was stunned and shouted," Crown Prince!"
"Your son is here."
"You will be in charge of this matter today. The Yongle Grand Ceremony cannot be stopped. I have to complete all my targets, but the matter of the cave in Henan also has to be dealt with. I will give you three days to deal with it."
Zhu Gaochi seemed to be used to it and helplessly cupped his fists,"Your son obeys."
"Han King!"
"Your son is here!"
Zhu Di looked at the King of Han meaningfully and said,"Second, do you have anything to say?"”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and said," Your son has nothing to say. Your son thinks that Father has dealt with you appropriately." Anyway, it wasn't him who dealt with it. No matter what, it was appropriate.
Zhu Di looked at the King of Han and said with a smile,"Since it's very appropriate, do you also want to share the worries of the court?"”
"Son, how can your son share your worries?"
Zhu Di smiled and said," You are the Han King of my dynasty, and you are also my son. At this time, shouldn't you take out some money and food to give to the victims?”
The Han King was stunned for a moment before saying,"Your son is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to the national treasury."
Zhu Zhanji stood up and said,"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji and said with a smile,"Say it."
"Grandson thinks that second uncle is the leader of the kings other than my father, so naturally, I have to set an example. I'm afraid ten thousand taels of silver can't show second uncle's intentions."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and said," Nephew, I live on my salary too. I don't have any money left."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said," Second Uncle, don't joke around. It's the imperial estate that Grandpa gave you. There are countless properties. Second Uncle, you still treat everyone with gold beans a few days ago."
Zhu Gaoxu stared at Zhu Zhanji and said," Nephew, Second Uncle naturally can't just watch the victims die. I'll donate 50,000 taels to the national treasury."
Before Zhu Gaoxu could finish speaking, Zhu Zhanji quickly said,"Second Uncle..."
"100,000 taels, 100,000 taels, I will donate 100,000 taels of silver to the national treasury."
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji with appreciation, then turned to look at Zhao Wang in the corner." Third Brother, look, Second Brother has already expressed it. Shouldn't you guys also express it?"
Zhu Gaosui said bitterly,"Father, your son is willing to donate 100,000 taels."
The loyal officials looked at each other helplessly.
Zhu Di smiled and looked at Zhu Zhanji,"Big Sun."
"Grandson is here."
"I'll leave it to you to calculate the amount of donations from the ministers. You're the commander of the Jinyiwei and also in charge of the East Chamber. You can't use the same method as when dealing with criminals, or else I'll deal with you, understand?”
"Grandfather, don't worry. Grandson will be fine."
"Yes, that's all. Retreat."
The ministers all bowed to Zhu Di with bitter expressions and said,"Goodbye, Your Majesty."
