"Fifth Brother, are you trying to establish your might?"
"Well done!"
"This little guy is a little scheming. Zhen said that sending this guy to the Embroidered Uniform Guards can train people."
"No, it's not to train people. It's to make that bastard reveal his true colors!”
The second day, in the third watch.
On Zhu Yuanzhang's desk, he had already received Mao Xiang's report.
Old Zhu put down the report and was full of praise for Zhu Rong.
If Zhu Xiong heard Old Zhu's comment, he would probably cry himself to death in the toilet.
"Mother is right!"
The Crown Prince Zhu Biao was called over from the Eastern Palace by Old Zhu. He was accompanying the Emperor to discuss national policies.
He smiled and said,
"Yesterday, Father saw Miao Yun copy down the tax reform policy for Fifth Brother. He probably didn't sleep the whole night, right?“
"It seems that mother understands father!”
When Old Zhu heard this, his face turned red.
Then, he glared at Zhu Biao fiercely.
Has Boss learned bad things from No. 5?
"Hmph, this unfilial son is still something!”
"I've seen his tax reform policies. We can use some of them as reference!”
"I didn't consider the business tax properly!”
"Your brother is indeed a great talent at governing the country!”
"Boss, you also said that Liu Bowen is considered a subordinate of our Great Ming Dynasty, and his wisdom is like a demon!”
"But look at Liu Ji. Can you see the changes in the Great Ming Dynasty a hundred years later?”
"Old Fifth's reform of the business tax is to reform the shortcomings of my Ming Dynasty decades later. In this aspect, I feel that it is much better than Liu Bowen."
"This little brother of yours, when you become the emperor in the future, you must definitely use him well!"
"You brothers are united, it is my great fortune!”
Zhu Biao stood up and bowed solemnly.
"Father, your son understands!"
"Father, are you worried that your son is jealous of Fifth Brother's ability? Please rest assured, Imperial Father.”
"A ruler doesn't necessarily need to be very capable, but he must know how to make good use of his ministers!”
"Moreover, their son is not only the Crown Prince, but also their big brother!”
"Very good, Boss, it's enough that you know this!”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved. Compared to the other emperors, he was most proud of having a group of good sons.
Since ancient times, in the Imperial Palace,
There were not many sons of the emperor who could be so harmonious.
This was Old Zhu's blessing, and also Da Ming's blessing.
However, Zhu Biao's next words made Old Zhu's good mood sink.
"Imperial Father, this tax reform policy is not bad, but how do we implement it?”
"Your son remembers that when Imperial Father set the laws of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent future generations from being unfilial, Imperial Father specially stated that the laws could not be changed!'
"Now that Father wants to change the tax law, there must be a reason!”
When Old Zhu heard this, he also fell into a dilemma.
He suddenly realized that what Zhu Rong had said through Xu Miaoyun yesterday was actually true.
He was too confident and thought that what he did was right.
And because he was afraid that his descendants would be unfilial, he changed the rules that he thought were perfect.
Therefore, when Old Zhu issued some laws, he would often restrict future generations from changing them.
However, this kind of restriction had now trapped him as well.
The emperor couldn't slap himself in the face and rashly tell the ministers that he wanted to change the tax law, right?
Especially since nothing major had happened in the industry and commerce.
If he touched this, it would give the impression that he was changing his mind and damage the emperor's dignity.
Just this alone made the Emperor hesitate.
"Why don't we let our son write a letter?"
"No, wait for a good opportunity!”
"It's not the best policy to push him without a chance!'
"Alright, let's go to court first!"
Old Zhu looked out of the window. It was already dawn.
The fourth watch was the time for court.
"Mao Xiang's report said that Fifth Brother had transferred Shen Wansan to the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
"He let that guy stay in the Embroidered Uniform Guards for a night. I wonder what he will bring to zhen?”
Just as Zhu Rong had guessed, although Old Zhu "punished" Zhu Rong to become the commander of the Brocade Guard, he was afraid that this guy would mess around.
Mao Xiang was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to maintain the order of the Jinyiwei.
Naturally, he was also responsible for reporting to the Emperor.
Similarly, Mao Xiang was also a test that Old Zhu had left for Zhu Xi. As the Emperor, how could he not see the unwillingness in Mao Xiang's heart?
Old Zhu wanted to use him to test Old Fifth's quality.
Although the Emperor agreed to let Shen Wansan go, how he let him go was Zhu Rong's own business.
In any case, the dignity of the emperor could not be lost.
If you don't give Old Zhu a way out, he definitely won't step down.
"Your son's guess is that Shen Wansan should write a letter of confession and promise to build a cement workshop for the government and build roads for the Ying Tian Prefecture!”
"Otherwise, what else can Fifth Brother do?”
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and nodded.
Old Zhu was not very satisfied with Zhu Biao's idea. Although he had done many things to blackmail others, as the emperor, it was important for him to take care of his reputation.
Shen Wansan bought his life with money, which was a way out.
However, this step was too hard, and he felt his feet hurt when he went down.
However, if Zhu Yuanzhang were to put himself in his shoes, he wouldn't be able to think of a better idea.
Anyway, Shen Wansan's matter was a small matter. If Lao Wu could take the initiative to help him with something and show a little of his talent,
As a father, Old Zhu felt relieved.
"Although this step is difficult, I will give him some face!”
Old Zhu laughed in his heart and brought Zhu Biao to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
At this moment, at the Jinyiwei yamen,
Seeing that the sky was starting to brighten, Xu Miaoyun pushed her forehead and gently blew out the lamp beside her.
She looked at her husband helplessly. He had already fallen asleep on the chair.
Xu Miaoyun was both angry and amused.
This guy was indeed as he had said before. He had just entered the Embroidered Uniform Guards and had started to mess around.
First, he offended the deputy commander and almost all his subordinates.
Then, he put on an appearance of not doing his job properly.
It seemed that her husband wouldn't stop until the Emperor expelled him.
She smiled lightly. This guy's wishful thinking was about to fail.
He put away the secret scroll he read last night.
The little eunuch felt as if she had just survived a disaster. Only after seeing the secrets of the Jinyiwei did she know how terrifying this organization was.
In one night, Xu Miaoyun finished reading all kinds of gossip in the families of the officials of Ying Tian Prefecture.
Master Song Lian drank and made merry yesterday,
Li Shan Chang and Hu Weiyong were having a private conversation in the study room.
Master Liu Ji stayed up all night.
The son of the Duke of Song had slept with his servant girl yesterday.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had received a hundred taels of silver from a wealthy merchant three days ago!
The matters of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was a trivial matter, were all recorded in the Jinyiwei.
She was secretly shocked. The intelligence collected by the Jinyiwei was already so detailed.
It could be seen what kind of potential this organization would have in the future.
Moreover, the Emperor's suspicion of the officials had probably reached an unprecedented level.
Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
The only thing that made Xu Miaoyun glad was that the Duke of Wei's Residence was not mentioned in the materials. It was likely that the Emperor had shown mercy to her or Xu Da because of their identities.
"Is such an organization my fortune?”
"If the emperor doesn't trust the ministers, the ministers naturally won't trust the emperor!”
"The monarch and his subjects have two hearts. I'm afraid the people of the world won't have it easy!”
Xu Miaoyun muttered to herself. She turned around and found that Zhu Rong had already woken up. He was looking at her with a faint smile.
Xu Miaoyun quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize,"
"Your Highness, this servant shouldn't have spoken ill of Your Majesty. Please punish me, Your Highness!”
"Xu Tong, I'm getting more and more curious about your identity before you entered the palace…?”
Zhu Rong walked over and patted Xu Miaoyun's shoulder. Xu Miaoyun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her husband had already begun to suspect her identity?
"I got someone to check your information. You're actually a descendant of a noble from the former Yuan Dynasty. No wonder you're both civil and martial. However, your ancestors offended the emperor and were long excluded from the core of power.”
"It's a pity that if your ancestors had succeeded in rebelling, you wouldn't have ended up in this state!”
Xu Miaoyun was speechless.
What was going on? She had a flash of inspiration and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang must have arranged a reasonable identity for her in the palace.
She couldn't help but sympathize with her husband. On this matter of Xu Tong, the Emperor clearly had her husband in a tight grasp.
The father and son had a battle of wits and courage. This time, the Emperor was the first to go.
Zhu Rong was prepared to put Xu Tong in an important position. With his cautious personality, he would naturally investigate Xu Tong's identity. Unfortunately, the Imperial Palace was not his. Old Zhu had already arranged everything clearly.
Xu Miaoyun wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it in. She knelt on the ground and her shoulders twitched.
Zhu Rong thought that she was trembling from fear and comforted her,"
"Your views on the current situation can be considered unique. If it weren't for the fact that your balls were gone, I would have recommended you to Imperial Father to be an official!”
"However, there are some words that should be hidden in your heart. Everyone has their own choices. I, a prince, am no exception. Why do you care so much?”
"Remember the family precepts of the Wu Estate: Keep a low profile!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Many thanks to Your Highness for not killing me. Xu Tong will definitely sacrifice his life for Your Highness in the future!
"There's no need for that. It's more useful for you to live than to die!”
"If you follow me, you'll benefit in the future. Perhaps your dreams will come true?”
Zhu Rong winked at Xu Miaoyun. Xu Miaoyun was baffled. What was her dream?
How would His Highness know?
Just as the master and servant were whispering, a Jinyiwei came to report from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Shen Wansan said that he has finished writing and wants to see Your Highness!“
"Alright, let him in!"
When Zhu Xi heard this, his spirit shook.
The Centurion of the Brocade Guard brought Shen Wansan in.
"Xue Shu, Old Shen, do you want to die?”
Zhu Rong looked at the blood letter and admired Shen Wansan's ruthlessness. He did not teach him to do this.
"Your Highness, what do you think?"
"Very good, I'll present it to the emperor now!”
Zhu Rong picked up Shen Wansan's blood letter and left with Xu Miaoyun.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
Xu Miaoyun was curious about Zhu Rong's serious attitude.
"This is the step I'm giving the emperor!”
"It's also a surprise that he couldn't get!"
"You'll know in a while!"
Zhu Rong ignored Xu Miaoyun's pouting lips and decided to keep her in suspense.
When the two of them arrived at the palace,
The vermilion dragon walks like a tiger,
He went straight to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. He was wearing the Imperial Five-clawed Golden Dragon Robe of the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The officials were disgusted.
Wherever Zhu Xi went, all the officials avoided him.
However, he did not care at all. When he reached the entrance of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, he said,
When the Emperor opens court,
He shouted from outside,
"I have something to report!"
