First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 136 Being an Official

Chapter 136
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction. Yunjin was put by him to train beside his mother himself. If someone targeted it, it would be embarrassing Donggong.

Looking at Yun Jin, he said: "You don't need to tell me about the harem, but you have to pay close attention to the queen mother and Luer, I don't want to hear anything bad.

Yun Jin smiled and nodded: "The empress is loving, and the servants are also happy to see it. Naturally, no one dares to make trouble in the harem."

Zhu Biao also laughed. Fortunately, his mother's empress stabilized the harem, so he was able to devote all his energy to the former court, otherwise it would be annoying enough to deal with those women's tricks every day.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but think of his princess, the side concubine of the Li family, and the increasing number of women in the future.

In fact, the easiest way is to maintain the status of the main wife. As long as she is given the right to reward and punish the Eastern Palace, everyone will not be able to make any big waves in the face of the inherent dignity. It's just that although Zhu Biao is quite fond of Chang Luohua, he has not arrived. The level of his father and queen mother.

So he will not easily hand over the power of reward and punishment. Of course, this does not mean the right to reward some jewelry or scold a few words, but the power to decide the life and death of concubines and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace.

Zhu Biao has to wait and see for a while to see how Chang Luohua behaves internally and externally after marriage. If it is good, Zhu Biao will naturally respect his first wife; Yunjin is in charge.

The hot water for bathing is ready, and the big and small Shuang'er are already waiting for him. Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and touched the Nuanyu cat under the quilt, then stood up and said to Yunjin: "You have been busy all day today, go back have a rest."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he was ready to take a comfortable bath. After Zhu Biao left, Nuan Yu looked at Yun Jin who was about to go back to rest and asked, "Sister Yun Jin, I'm afraid. After the Crown Princess comes, can I still take a bath?" Have you warmed up the quilt for the Lord, will you be kicked out of the East Palace to wash clothes?"

Yun Jin leaned over and touched Nuan Yu's small head tenderly, and said, "Be good, as long as you don't do anything wrong, no one can drive you away."

Nuan Yu still looked worried, Yun Jin couldn't help teasing her and said, "Okay, what do you have to be afraid of, even if you are kicked out of the East Palace, I can take care of you, and I won't let you do it anyway. The little eunuchs are doing laundry, right Liu Jin?"

Liu Jin was walking in with a pot of new tea. Hearing what the two said, he nodded and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Nuanyu, we are a bit rough outside."

Nuan Yu naturally heard that the two were teasing her, and got into the bed angrily, Yun Jin patted her lightly through the quilt, and then got up to leave.

Liu Jin bowed to Yunjin and said, "It's getting dark, sister Yunjin, go slowly."

Then Liu Jin ordered to the outside: "Liu An, send your Aunt Yunjin back to her room to rest."

Yun Jin smiled. She also lives in the East Palace not far from here, but she didn't refuse. Liu Jin is the chief eunuch next to the prince, so the two naturally have a tacit understanding.

Liu Jin didn't intend to be alone with Nuan Yu either, so she put down the teapot and stood guard in front of Zhu Biao's bathing door, after a while Zhu Biao came out, glanced at Liu Jin and said, "Go back and rest, get up early tomorrow Believe me, I guess my father will tell me to go to court."

Liu Jin immediately bowed to promise, then retreated, and told Liu An who came back at the door to watch carefully.

Zhu Biao crawled into bed and embraced the warm Nuanyu. As the lights were extinguished, the crying women and children on the street suddenly appeared in Zhu Biao's mind...

The next day, after Zhu Biao woke up and cleaned up, he saw Liu Jin walking in and said, "Your guess is right, there was an order from Kunning Palace to let you go to court today."

Zhu Biao nodded, put on his court clothes and arrived in front of the gate of Fengtian Palace. All the ministers and workers stepped forward to salute the prince, and Zhu Biao also chatted with them kindly.

After greeting Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, he walked to the front of the team. Li Shanchang, who was standing aside, looked at the gate of Fengtian Hall and said, "I don't know what the situation is like today."

Zhu Biao was silent for a while and said: "Let's worry about tomorrow's affairs, Li Xiang. The gap of the household officials must be plugged as soon as possible, and the autumn harvest in Jiangnan and other places must not be delayed."

Li Shanchang was relieved when he heard the words. After a while, the gate of Fengtian Palace opened, Zhu Biao took the lead and stepped in, followed by all civil and military officials, and they all stood still and bowed neatly to the emperor on the dragon chair.

After the emperor let him get up, Zhu Biao silently walked up the imperial steps and stood in his own place, and saw that his father was still in high spirits, looking as fierce as a dragon.

As several people from the household department were pushed into the hall in prison uniforms, today's court meeting officially began. The minister of the Ministry of punishment came out and bowed to tell them the amount of embezzlement and the punishment they should bear according to the law.

Yang Siyi among the members of the Household Department struggled to stand up after hearing the cut in half, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, you only know to ask the ministers to be loyal to the country, but have you ever considered being a minister?"

Except for Yang Siyi's voice in the entire court, no one dared to speak. Although they didn't say anything, they were silently supporting Yang Siyi, and they didn't dare to say it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also had a sullen face, and was not in a hurry to reprimand him. Yang Siyi knew that he had no way out, and then said: "The servant of the household department of the fourth rank of the official, the annual salary is only enough for food and clothing, and he even buys a piece of land for his children and grandchildren." I don’t even have any money. Your Majesty is rich in the world, so does he have to let his subjects live in poverty?”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Siyi with red eyes and said softly: "I have carefully considered for you. You may not be able to make a fortune when you become an official, but the country will not treat your children and grandchildren badly. They can all be given priority to study in the Imperial College and get the best results." education, can we not reuse those who are really talented?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and looked at the officials and said: "The national power is limited. As officials of the country, can't you see clearly that the people can't even eat, and you already have enough food and clothing? If you can make the people rich Wake up, will I still take pity on your salary?"

Yang Siyi snorted and laughed: "Being an official for thousands of miles is just to get rich. The Holy Majesty punished the household department this time, but the Holy Majesty can't stop the corruption and perverting the law. How many people in this court can be clean, and how many people can there be?" Have that character to be a courtier of the Holy Majesty!"

The censors at the imperial court couldn't help it anymore: "Yang Siyi, you dare to bite at random when you are about to die. I respectfully ask the Holy One to deal with this person immediately!"

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the civil and martial arts immediately became clamorous. Yang Siyi was criticized by everyone, but she laughed even more happily, but tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair and said: "You are not the first, let alone the last, just wait below, we will let all the corrupt officials in the world go down to accompany you!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, the minister of the Ministry of punishment waved his hand, and the guards who came in dragged Yang Siyi and others down.
