I am the king of the dead

Chapter 171 Let them go

The Great Ming Dynasty Hall cannot be said to be leaking like a sieve, but it can be said that there are no secrets at all.

Immediately after the court meeting in Fengtian Palace ended, gossip spread all over the sky, and His Majesty killed someone again.

This time, three censors were killed. These three censors had a mansion with more than [-] taels of silver. They entered and exited in sedan chairs carried by four or eight people. They could violate the curfew at will and come in and out.

The people of Daming, although they heard all kinds of gossip, they didn't know the specific reason why these three people died.

Taibai Building and Yanxing Building are too far away from the common people, and the truth is confusing.

Especially the connection between the three censors and the empress dowager's relatives, even fewer people knew about it, but the people all applauded, because His Majesty beat another censor.

Li Binyan.

In the history of the imperial censor, the Jianwei School was combined into one, and His Majesty beat the court staff. This is a great thing for the common people.

Especially the people in the countryside, their children couldn't go to the city to go to school at all.

The Wei school is close to them, although the teachers in the countryside may be a book office for writing letters for others in the city, and they don't even know the four ways of writing fen.

But it is enough to teach them to read and write.

Killing the three censors whose names are not clear is, for the common people, a topic of conversation after dinner.

This prevented the Weisuo Confucian School from being merged continuously since the orthodox years, making it more and more difficult to go to school, but it actually solved their urgent need.

The summer harvest is about to come, and the people in Gyeonggi are in groups of three or four, carrying sickles and ropes, and under the supervision of Lizheng's commander, they are reaping the joy of a good harvest.

But Li Binyan has been really unlucky these few days.

Li Binyan soon discovered that the toilet at home was full, and no one came to his house to collect reincarnation.

The small vendors in the market no longer delivered food to his family. It seemed that the family was about to run out of food.

Not to mention, when Li Binyan woke up, he found that there was a gust of warm wind, and only then did he find that a hole had been smashed into the window rail of the study, and a stone fell on the ground, mocking Li Binyan.

Li Binyan's wife was complaining, the child was crying, and the old mother was sighing.

He finally came to the gate of Dashi Yongfang, and he couldn't go on like this.

"Register here. Your Majesty said that before the day when you have to move, first come, first served." A Tiqi, wearing a flying fish suit, sat at the table and pointed to the registration form.

Seeing that it was Li Binyan, Tiqi also showed a gloating expression. The Yushi and Tiqi all knew him, but it was not because of Tingzhang.

Recently, Li Binyan's bad luck has been spread by everyone, and they are all treated as jokes.

First come first served?

Li Binyan looked at the empty registration form and knew that this was a silent protest from the officials.

For Li Binyan, he now has two ways out, one is to write down his name on this registration form, the other is to be the governor of the district just like Chen Yi and Xu Youzhen.

"After registration, you must move out within three days. You are not allowed to bring concubines. Family members and domestic servants can enter according to the rules. Remember to work and rest. After the curfew, you must not leave the workshop before five o'clock." Ti Qi warned again, pointing to the wall. Notice, it is about the management of the official residence.

The management of the mansion is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Vicious dogs will be released during curfew. Of course, if there is an emergency, you can ring the bell, and Tiqi will escort you around.

The time outside the curfew is very free and there are no taboos.

Of course, idlers and others are not allowed to enter the official residence.

Li Binyan looked at the words on the notice and carefully read it several times, but he found that if he didn't want to join forces with cronies, recruit his family members to work as minions, or take bribes and pervert the law, as long as he followed the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he would live here, and have everything he needed for food, clothing, shelter, and warmth.

Even more comfortable than the previous days.

Li Binyan is a person standing at a fork in the road, not just whether to sign the relocation registration form, but his life, standing at a fork in the road.

Bureaucrats generally have two endings, one is to be like Yu Qian, who will uphold integrity all his life, and the other is to surrender to the rules of the officialdom, become tactful, and finally struggle in the world of mortals.

His Majesty gave Li Binyan a chance to choose.

Li Binyan took a deep breath and signed his name on the registration form. He was also the first official to move into the mansion.

"Come here, take Li Yushi to choose a house!"

Ti Qi said with a smile on his face: "Li Yushi is at ease, Your Majesty will build the official residence. Except for the original salary, all the expenses will be spent abroad. You don't have to worry about it yourself. If you don't spend your own money, it means that it will increase. Salary?"

"Please."

As soon as Li Binyan walked into the gate of the mansion, he was startled. He saw a Tiqi in full plate armor admonishing the captain of Jinyiwei.

Na Tiqi was wearing a visor, and under the effect of the visor, his voice was thick and low. It was the twelve cavalry pawns beside His Majesty!
That is Tianzi Tiqi, which shows how much His Majesty attaches importance to the official residence.

Inside the mansion, it can be said that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. There are many trees planted along the roadside, and there are also oak trees brought back from Zheng He's voyages, surrounded by greenery.

In the middle of the official residence, there is a rockery. The rocks are all piled up with exquisite stones. The white jade stone bridge and the peaks are hidden.

Li Binyan is quite satisfied with the environment here, which is much better than the small run-down house he lives in. In fact, his family has no surplus money, and he can't afford to buy expensive houses in the capital.

He thought that after being a Jinshi, he would make a fortune, but he had no shelter to shelter from the wind. He also asked himself, what is the reason for studying hard in the poor window for the past ten years, and then working hard to become an official?
"This Shuiyun Pavilion Garden, can we go there on weekdays?" Li Binyan stared blankly at the garden in front of him.

The accompanying Tiqi said with a smile: "Of course, I can tell Li Yushi, His Majesty has moved a lot of the forests of Longevity Mountain here, and built this Shuiyun Pavilion, where women, children, young and old can relax here on weekdays. But it is not allowed to take flowers and trees at will."

"This is His Majesty's private property."

Why did Lu Zhong gloat over Li Binyan's beating, and why did the tiqi greet Li Binyan with a smile?

It's because Li Binyan is not a corrupt official, no matter whether he is timid or has no connections. Of course, there are other reasons.

"Come here." Tiqi brought Li Binyan to the gate of an attached courtyard, and he said in a low voice, "I've calculated the Fengshui master here, it's very good here."

"When you go up to the second floor, you can see Shuiyunxieyuan. The courtyard is elegant and unique. To tell you the truth, Li Yushi, the courtyard here is second to none among the fourth-grade houses. If you don't believe me, you can look elsewhere."

Li Binyan wandered around a few more places, and it was indeed the house that Tiqi recommended at the beginning was the best, whether it was sunshine, scenery, or terrain, it was the best choice.

"If Li Yushi is satisfied, we will finish the paperwork, and Li Yushi will move in with the paperwork."

Li Binyan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, great."

Ti Qi handled the paperwork for Li Binyan on the spot, and then left first.

Li Binyan took a closer look at his two-way, three-way, five-room, seven-frame house, nodded in satisfaction, locked it, and went home to tidy up.

The whole family is settled, and it is not easy to live in the capital. He does not have a family with strong financial resources, let alone the determination to corrupt the law, so it is natural that his life is not good.

After returning home, Li Binyan asked his family to pack their bags and prepare for moving.

Li Binyan took out a silver Tougong tablet from the deepest part of the cabinet, opened the sandalwood box, took another look at the sterling silver Tougong tablet, closed it, and ran to the mansion with his family.

Li Binyan's first merit card was obtained by catching spies, which is equivalent to the first-level military merit card. Although there is no special treatment, when he was awarded the honor, he also had a medal, which was even higher than the Qi Li card.

The reward plaques that the Tiqis brought out from the inner storage, and the reward plaques issued by the Tiqis, naturally knew that Li Binyan had such a piece.

That's why the Tiqis looked at Li Binyan so differently.

Does the head card have any privileges?No, but it will make people look up.

Just this one glance is very precious.

Zhu Qiyu had just returned from riding horses in the Beijing camp, but he drove to the martial arts hall, and after making a round of inspections as usual, he returned to his main building.

"Is there a military report from Yue Qian and others on the front line?" Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an.

Xing'an shook his head and said, "No, the Wala people are licking their wounds."

Zhu Qiyu sat in his seat, picked up all kinds of memorials sent today and said: "You have made great contributions to building the official residence, and I don't know what to reward you. I will get 1000 taels of silver from the inner carrier."

"I don't need it either." Xing'an brewed a cup of tea for the emperor and said with a smile, "Let's keep it as a reward for the soldiers."

"I reward you, so you can take it." Zhu Qiyu didn't open the memorial, but looked at the picture hanging in the middle hall, and was dazed in a daze.

"Taiji Factory and the Ministry of Industry built official residences, and the family members who did not accept them at night also moved to Daxing, and a residence like this was built for them in Daxing County. Fighting for the country, they must be treated generously." Zhu Qiyu looked at the picture Preoccupied.

Xing'an said cheerfully: "The soldiers who don't accept them at night are guarding the country's borders. If His Majesty has any good business, he will always think of them. I will arrange the errands now."

"What about the official residence? How about the relocation?" Zhu Qiyu asked about the relocation of the official residence again. After it was built, the Qin Tianjian counted the days, but within these two or three days, no one went to choose a house.

Lu Zhong hurriedly said: "Li Binyan, the censor, went today and chose a good house. Later, people went there one after another. Now three or four out of ten have gone to choose a house."

If Li Binyan hadn't taken the lead, the other officials would have hesitated. If someone ate the first crab, there would naturally be someone who would follow.

"I know, after a day or two of delay, the good houses are all chosen by others." Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial.

The first is the memorial of Uncle Sun Zhong of Huichang. He wanted to take his three children back to his hometown to worship the ancestors, and his words flashed.

Zhu Qiyu temporarily put it down and picked up the second book, which is about the funeral of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and going to work for Ding You.

He picked up the third memorial, and it was Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, who asked to become an official because of his advanced age.

It was them expressing their dissatisfaction, expressing their opposition to the Mansion Law that locked them up.

Zhu Qiyu approved them one by one, and left if he wanted to, Zhu Qiyu didn't stop them.

Is an official residence too much?
The low salary of the Ming Dynasty and the construction of the official residence by Zhu Qiyu may be bad news for some people, but it is great news for others.

"Your Majesty, do you want Tiqi to be arrested?" Xing'an whispered.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head instead: "Let them go."
