Let Me Attend the Court? Could it be that you want to criticize me?
The Eastern Palace,
Crown Prince's Residence!
Zhu Biao leisurely leaned on the rocking chair and picked up the tea set with the style of the Yuan Dynasty. He made a cup of tea!
Instantly, the fragrance of tea filled the air!
"Hmm…it's indeed worthy of being one of the top ten famous teas in the nine provinces. It's the earliest flat tea that appeared, the representative of flat green tea!”
A look of enjoyment appeared on his face as he immersed himself in it!
Mengshan tea had always been famous for its delicious taste, excellent craftsmanship, and superior quality!
Therefore, it had the reputation of being the heart water of the Yangtze River and the tea on the top of Mount Meng!
If he wanted to be a salted fish, then he naturally had to be the salted fish that knew how to enjoy life the most!
"Shu local tea is called sacred, Meng Mountain tea is unique!”
Smelling the rich fragrance, Zhu Biao held the teacup in his hand and could not help but recite a poem!
This tea had a long history and was the most ancient famous tea in the nine provinces. How could he not taste it when he had the opportunity?
He looked at the clear and bright green tea in his cup and took a sip!
"Tsk…"
The taste was fresh and tender, rich and sweet.
Zhu Biao took a few more sips before putting down the teacup!
"Hurry up, when you're done, put it in the pavilion over there!”
He gave some instructions to the servants who were working on the hammock!
Since he wanted to ruin Old Zhu's good impression and remove him from the crown prince position!
Then he would start from every matter, every sentence, and every item!
Right at this moment,
"Crown Prince, Uncle Cheng Yi requests an audience!"
The guard came over and reported!
When Zhu Biao heard this, he frowned slightly and looked puzzled.""Why is Liu Bowen back?"
"Let him in!"
Although he was puzzled, he still had to meet her!
Very soon,
Liu Bowen walked up to Zhu Biao and bowed.""This subject…greets the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Biao was still lying on the chair. He chuckled and said,"Sir, there's no need to be so polite. Why have you returned?”
He asked,
He stared at Liu Bowen, who seemed to be in a good mood, and became even more puzzled!
Liu Bowen looked at the chair the Crown Prince was lying on and then looked at the servants who were busy beside him. He also felt strange!
What was he doing?
It seemed like the Crown Prince was enjoying life now? It was the fate of an emperor!
He quickly collected his thoughts and continued,"Crown Prince, this subject has come this time to inform you of something!”
"His Majesty asked me to come and tell you that you must be present for tomorrow's morning court session!”
After receiving the news,
“？？？”
Zhu Biao blinked his eyes, puzzled.
Why?
Could it be that…the tax issue had angered Old Zhu?
So in a fit of anger, you want me to go to the morning court and criticize me in front of all the officials?
Instantly,
"Good news, this is good news!"
Zhu Biao was so excited that he couldn't hide the smile on his face!
I'm just waiting for you to criticize me and finally get rid of me, the Crown Prince!
He sat up straight and looked at Liu Bowen excitedly. He said impatiently,""Bengong understands!"
"Please go back and tell His Majesty…"
"I'll definitely be there for this morning assembly!”
Liu Bowen was stunned when he saw Zhu Biao's excitement!
What was going on with the Crown Prince?
He was so excited when he heard that he was going to attend the morning assembly? And he said he didn't want to be the emperor?
He laughed in his heart and coughed twice. He chose to see through it and not expose it."Then I will take my leave first!"
Seeing Liu Bowen leave,
"Old Zhu, I'm waiting for your performance tomorrow!”
Zhu Biao lay back in his chair, feeling very happy. He was looking forward to the morning court session tomorrow!
……
The next day, morning court!
Outside the court,
All the officials were trembling with fear!
"How should we deal with His Majesty today? Damn…"
"I can't raise any money during this period of time. I've really completed the mission His Majesty gave me!”
All of them sighed and discussed in low voices. It was light to say that they were scolding. The main thing was that they were afraid of death!
At this moment,
"Eh? The Crown Prince also has morning court?"
An official suddenly shouted!
As expected, the officials saw Zhu Biao walking towards them!
"There is a Crown Prince in the Imperial Court, then we…"
They were instantly delighted, and their eyes were filled with anticipation, as if they had seen their savior!
Under everyone's gaze,
Zhu Biao was in high spirits, and with every step he took, he arrived in the ranks of the officials!
Before he could call out,
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
All the officials bowed in unison, their voices filled with sincerity!
Then,
"Your Highness, if His Majesty gets angry later, please speak up for us!”
"That's right. It's not that we're incompetent, but we really can't raise the money!”
They opened their mouths one after another and spat out their grievances!
Zhu Biao blinked his eyes as he listened to the crowd.
When the time came, Old Zhu would definitely be very angry if he tried his best to protect them!
He didn't even think about it and smiled gracefully.""Sirs, don't worry!"
The officials were overjoyed and quickly thanked him!
Very soon,
"Bang! Bang, bang!"
"Thump…"
The drums sounded and the bell rang!
Hearing this voice,
The civil and military officials hurriedly gathered their thoughts and lined up in an orderly manner as they walked towards the Hall of Heaven's Tribute!
Zhu Biao followed behind the civil officials!
After entering the main hall,
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!”
Everyone was respectful and stood straight as they bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne!
After everything was done,
Other than Xu Da, Lan Yu, and the others who had already heard the news, the rest of the officials were still feeling uneasy!
At this moment,
"Biao 'er is so enthusiastic. It seems that there's hope for us to abdicate!”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao in the crowd and a smile appeared on his face.
He didn't curse like before.
He glanced at the frightened officials and said indifferently,""You don't have to be so afraid!"
"Money…I know it's difficult!”
"But now, I don't need you to raise it. I'll point out a clear path for you!”
His words echoed in the hall and fell into everyone's ears!
"Ah?"
All the officials widened their eyes, wondering if they had heard wrongly!
Why didn't His Majesty call them dogs when he opened his mouth today?
He didn't even need to raise money? His Majesty wanted to point the way?
Could it be the Road to the Underworld?
"Your Majesty…What, the bright road?"
They were all trembling and were even more afraid. They braced themselves and asked!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw everyone's reaction and snorted,""I noticed that in the four years since the Great Ming Dynasty ruled the country..."
"It's obvious that agriculture is valued and commerce is suppressed, but the lives of the common people have only improved in the early stages. Now, they are getting worse and worse day by day.”
With a scrutinizing attitude, he said,
He stared at the ministers below with a deep gaze and continued,"And the businessmen who were suppressed were extremely rich!”
" What is this?!"
"Our business tax is clearly good enough for them to drive the big Ming economy, but now?”
"From the beginning to the end, no one led the way. They evaded taxes, bought land, and all the money went into their own pockets!”
"What a joke!"
"Is our money that easy to take?”
