Outside the Meridian Gate.
For the convenience of handling matters, the six departments and the various yamens of the Ming Dynasty were lined up not far from the Meridian Gate.
Today, Lu Ben went to Taichang Temple to make an appointment and then strolled outside the Wu Gate.
Having been an official in the court for a long time, Lu Ben had long honed his perception that was different from ordinary people.
He had a premonition that Zhu Yuanzhang would praise him, Lu shi, and Zhu Yunwen today.
He had spent more than ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand taels of gold!
In total, it was close to forty thousand taels of silver.
It's not too much to get a commendation, right?
Lu Ben had even thought of a phrase for Zhu Yuanzhang.
What imperial grandson Yun Wen was pure and filial, benevolent and generous, the crown princess was virtuous and virtuous, and generous.
As for himself, he didn't really care whether he was commended or not.
As long as his children and grandchildren were well.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with him on the surface.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang should know that it would be even better if he could be promoted to an official position.
With today's incident, Yun Wen was finally in the emperor's heart.
He had indeed been a minister of Taichang Temple for quite a long time.
It was not a bad idea to be a left assistant minister in the Ministry of Rites.
Wasn't the Lu family's glory and wealth here!
A mere 40,000 taels of silver could buy four generations of wealth.
It was worth it!
It was a bloody profit!
With that thought, the morning slipped away quietly.
Just as Lu Ben was wondering why there was still no movement in the palace.
Finally, a eunuch ran out of the Meridian Gate with a piece of yellow silk.
"Hey, it's here!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Ben immediately called out to everyone.
"Where's everyone? Come out. His Majesty has put up a notice. Let's go over and take a look ~"
Lu Ben was in high spirits today.
After being shouted at by him.
The nine ministers of the six ministries and the officials of the various yamens who had nothing to do strolled out.
After all, it was a notice posted in the palace.
What if there were Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings?
No one present dared to delay.
Under Lu Ben's lead, dozens of officials walked towards the palace gates.
As soon as they arrived outside the Meridian Gate, Lu Ben looked at the small yellow gate outside the Meridian Gate and asked,
"Eunuch, what kind of notice did His Majesty put up?”
Little Yellow Gate bowed slightly when he heard this.
"Lord Lu, you must be joking. The emperor has ordered that this servant cannot read, but I heard that it seems to be a commendation.”
Lu Ben was overjoyed.
He immediately took out a gold ingot and handed it to the little yellow door.
"Alright, alright. This little eunuch will take this money and drink some tea.”
Little Yellow Gate was overjoyed when he saw this. He did not stand on ceremony at all and said repeatedly,
"This servant thanks Lord Lu."
At this time, the ministers behind him had already walked to the front of the notice.
The moment they saw the notice, everyone immediately started discussing.
"Ah, not simple. Grand Sun is indeed not simple. He's actually so generous.”
"Such a large sum of money has solved the urgent needs of the Imperial Court.”
“……”
Lu Ben's brows raised even higher as he listened to his colleagues 'discussion.
"That's right, don't you see who taught you…Grand Sun, wait a minute, Grand Sun?”
Lu Ben suddenly opened his eyes and saw his colleagues looking at him as if he was an idiot.
Grandson? The Imperial Court?
Didn't he say that this money was to be given to Empress Ma to supplement the harem?!
Lu Ben suddenly had an ominous feeling.
When he saw the notice with his own eyes, Lu Ben was stunned on the spot.
"Great Sun Xiong Ying, sympathize with the army and the people…donate ten thousand taels of silver, three thousand taels of gold…"
Puchi!
Lu Ben felt like he had been stabbed in the head.
Ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand taels of gold.
The numbers matched.
How did this become Zhu Xiongying's credit?
This was a total of forty thousand taels of silver!
The entire Lu family's expenses for nearly a year!
All gone?
Last night, his main wife had argued with him for an entire night before he managed to knock this matter down!
Zhu Xiongying took all of them?
What a sin!
Thinking of this, Lu Ben's breathing quickened.
"Little Eunuch, could it be written wrong?”
"What? Impossible, this was written by the Duke of Han himself…Lord Lu, why are you looking at me like that…You don't want to go back, do you?”
"No…"
"That's good, this servant still has things to do, I'll leave first!”
After saying that, Little Yellow Gate was afraid that Lu Ben would go back on his word, so he dived into the palace.
Not long after Goldie and the others left, the voices of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and the others came from the Meridian Gate.
In an instant, the officials at the door immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.
Only Lu Ben looked blankly at Zhu Yuanzhang, who stood in place and looked particularly eye-catching.
Seeing this, Xu Da immediately rebuked angrily,
"How dare you, Lu Ben. Why didn't you kneel when you saw your superior?”
"Ah! I, Lu Ben…"
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pulled Lu Bendao
"Alright, alright, you don't have to kneel anymore. No need to be polite, no need to be polite, no need to be polite.”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the notice at the side and suppressed the smile on his face.
"You all saw it, right? Take a good look, all of you!”
"As expected of our precious grandson! Hahaha."
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
"It's done. Xu Da, Shan Chang, I'll send you here.”
Xu Da and Li Shan Chang hurriedly replied,
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the smile on his face and waved his hand."Let's go, let's go."
When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace with his hands behind his back, he gave Lu Ben a meaningful look. The smile on his face was obviously almost uncontrollable.
After Zhu Yuanzhang left.
Xu Da couldn't hold it in anymore.
She burst out laughing.
Xu Da laughed. Lee Shan Chang couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord Lu, the weather is good today, don't think too much.”
"Alright, we're leaving. You guys continue watching.”
Before they left, Xu Da and Li Shan Chang supported each other as they walked.
Their laughter could be heard clearly from two streets away.
Obviously, Lu Ben was the idiot they were laughing at…
