Zhu Zhanji smiled lightly." That's natural. I also find it unbelievable!"”
Dong dong dong!
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanji turned around subconsciously.”
"Your Highness, the drum has sounded."
Zhu Zhanji turned around and said,"Go and invite the Crown Prince to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Someone is complaining!"”
"This servant will obey."
Zhu Zhanji smiled apologetically at Zhang shi and turned around to run away.
Palace of Heavenly Purity!
Everyone looked at Zhu Gaochi with a strange expression.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Yang Shiqi hurried out of his shift and greeted.”
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Who's beating the drum?" Zhu Gaochi nodded.”
Zhu Zhanji stepped forward." The Crown Prince is asking for a report. Who's beating the drum?"”
The young eunuch at the door hurriedly said in a croaky voice,""The crown prince is asking who is beating the drum!”
"The crown prince is asking who is beating the drum!”
Voices rang out one after another.
The Jinyiwei commander at the door, Ji Gang, entered and bowed,"Reporting to the crown prince, the Zhang family of Qinghe has been wronged.”
Zhu Gaochi's expression was serious as he said,"The approval is correct!"”
Zhu Zhanji immediately went out and said,"Bring Qinghe Zhang to the palace!"”
A moment later, a woman in ragged clothes staggered over and knelt on the ground.""Qinghe citizen's wife, Zhang shi, pays her respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"What injustice is there in beating the drum?"
Zhang shi was dressed in cotton clothes, her face was very pale, and there were many purple-green wounds on her body. She bowed to Zhu Gaochi and said,"Reporting to the Crown Prince, this commoner woman has lodged a complaint against Liu County's Country Squire, Li Daniu."
"This woman is from Qinghe Village in Liu County. Her husband, Wang Peng, was a soldier guarding the city. He died in battle seven days ago. Fortunately, the emperor took pity on her and gave her five taels of silver and three stones of corn as compensation!”
" However, the squire Li Daniuque said that my man is a traitor. These things are given to those who died in battle, not traitors. But the husband of a commoner's wife died on the battlefield. How can he be a traitor?"
"This commoner's wife has a child who is a few years old at home. She was so angry that she sued him to the county government. Not only did the county government not avenge me, but the county magistrate tricked me into the backyard and forced me!”
"Fortunately, the emperor is wise. This woman escaped from the county town and came to the capital with the imperial edict on her head!”
Zhang shi stood up and solemnly knelt down to Zhu Gaochi,"I implore Your Majesty to seek justice for me!”
Yang Lian, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, who was standing in front, said,""Impudent, unruly citizen, you actually dare to sue the officials! Men, get these unruly people out of here!”
The two burly generals came up to drag Zhang shi away.
Zhu Zhanji couldn't bear it anymore and stood out,""Presumptuous! Do you have the right to speak here? What do you want to do? Are you trying to rebel?”
The two burly generals looked at each other, then at Yang Lian, who had an ugly expression on his face.
Yang Lian came out of his shift and said," Your Highness Great Sun, our Great Ming has been established for 200 years. We have never said anything about using the people to sue the officials. This is extremely absurd. Please understand, Your Highness."
"That's right, Your Highness. This kind of unruly person actually dares to offend his superiors. He should be severely punished!”
I'll reconsider!
"This humble subject reconsiders!"
"Who is that?" Zhu Gaochi's face was a little ugly as he asked.”
"Reporting to Your Highness, I am the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Minister of Rites and Personnel Yang Lian!”
"Since when did I, the dignified Crown Prince, not speak up and it's your turn to make decisions for me?" Zhu Gaochi frowned. What is wrong with all of you!"
Yang Lian hurriedly knelt down and said,"I'm guilty!"”
"Crown Prince, is there no way for this commoner to survive?" Zhang shi bowed with tears streaming down her face. This woman was telling the truth and was willing to use her life to guarantee it.”
"Is the Commander of the Brocade Guard here?" Zhu Gaochi frowned.”
"Your humble servant is here!" Ji Gang came out of the shift and said.
"Zhang shi will temporarily stay in your Embroidered Uniform Guard.”
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji and said,""This matter is supervised by Taisun!"
"Yes, your son."
"Okay, let's go!"
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji strangely and said,""There must be something fishy about this matter. Let the Embroidered Uniform Guards follow him down and take a look!”
"This child knows, it's most likely that these people have tampered with the compensation issued by the Imperial Court."
"Ridiculous. If the soldiers who died in battle can't even receive compensation, wouldn't it become a huge joke? At that time, who would still dare to risk their lives for our Zhu family?”
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Your child obeys!"
Zhu Gaochi sighed,"You have to handle the matters here properly. You also have to find time to return to our side."
"Why, Father?"
"Your grandfather took his assassination very seriously. Now that you are the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, naturally, he wants you to investigate the case."
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment before he thought of something and lowered his head."I understand!"
Zhu Gaochi took out a golden token and said,""This is the golden token your grandfather gave you!”
"In the future, you have to be careful in everything you do.”
"Think twice before you act!"
Zhu Zhanji bowed his head and said,"I understand."
"Okay, I'll go back now."
"Farewell, Father!"
