Chapter 289
"However, Ma He doesn't seem to want to stay in Beiping Mansion. The servants found his request to return to the capital in the capital prison. Your Highness, please have a look..."

As Wang Zhong said, he put a memorial beside Zhu Yunxi, and said: "It says that because of his mother, he wants to return to Beijing to fulfill his filial piety, but their family is a slave, so this memorial has not been accepted at all. People pay attention to..."

Wang Zhong's words are polite, not because no one pays attention, but even if they notice, they will be treated as garbage!
People who are slaves have no right to choose at all!

When Zhu Yunxi opened the memorial, he saw that the handwriting on it was neat and tidy, the face was full of muscles, the softness contained in the rigidity, the broadness, the grandeur, the solemnity and simplicity, the overall structure was opened, and the strokes were thick.

The reason written above is also to return to Beijing to serve my mother and fulfill my filial piety.

Now Zhu Yunxi understands that Yao Guangxiao must have discovered Ma He's talent and wants to take him as an apprentice so that Ma He can be completely tied to the chariot of Yan Wang Zhu Di.

But maybe because of his mother, Ma He didn't want to stay in Beiping for a long time. It is estimated that he has not yet accepted the olive branch extended by Yao Guangxiao.

So Yao Guangxiao ordered someone to give him a blow in the palace, so that he didn't have a good impression of the palace officials.

Then Yao Guangxiao will definitely use his means to show favor to Ma He next!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi immediately said: "Go to the household department immediately and send Ma He's household registration here. No one can change it without authorization, let alone take it away at will!"

Seeing His Highness being so serious, Wang Zhong hurriedly took orders and said, "Yes! This servant obeys! Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

After speaking, he saluted in a hurry, and ran outside in a hurry.

Zhu Yunxi also stood up, frowning slightly, looking at the empty sky, lost in thought.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help being not serious about this matter.

Because the ancients paid attention to loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, if Yao Guangxiao really showed kindness to Ma He and rescued their family from slavery, then Ma He would stand on the side of King Yan whether he wanted to or not.

Because on the bright side, Zhu Di, King of Yan, was the master of Ma He, and at this time he had given him a great favor, so he had no choice at all.

Otherwise, in the eyes of others, you will be ungrateful, disloyal and unfilial!

Such a person could hardly move an inch in ancient times!
……

"Master Qi, I finally found you!"

As soon as Wang Zhong came to the lobby of the household department, when he saw Qi Tai, he hurriedly said: "Lord Qi, Your Highness has orders to find a slave named Ma He."

Hearing this, Qi Tai was also taken aback, put down the writing brush in his hand and said, "Speak slowly, why is Your Highness looking for slaves?"

Wang Zhong stomped on this matter anxiously and said: "Oh, my lord Qi, I will explain to you later! If something goes wrong, His Highness will blame you, we can't afford it!"

Seeing his appearance, Qi Tai knew that the matter must be urgent, so he hurriedly said to the little official next to him, "Hurry up and find the slave, what's his name?"

"Ma He! Their family has brothers and a mother!" Wang Zhong said quickly.

"Hurry up and find a slave named Ma He!"

The little official said in a daze: "My lord, are you sure his name is Ma He?!"

Wang Zhong said impatiently, "It's Ma He, hurry up and find him!"

The little official hurriedly saluted and said: "Just now, people from the Ministry of War came to declare their military exploits, and gave a few creditors to escape from slavery. Among them was a man named Ma He, who was found by the villain himself..."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang inherited the Yuan system, based on the principle of assigning households to work as errands, and organized residents across the country into different types of household registrations according to their occupations, such as military registration, civilian registration, craftsman registration, and medical registration.

So some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and negated all the systems of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, this is just an ignorant joke.

According to the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, under normal circumstances, one cannot get rid of one's own membership.

For example, if you are a military household, you will be a military household for the rest of your life, and your children and grandchildren will be military households.
If you are a craftsman, you will be a craftsman, and your descendants will also be craftsmen!
But there is always mercy for those outside the law!
If there is any meritorious performance, or if there is any outstanding place, you can also change your identity.

This is to get the emperor's favor, thereby exempting oneself from the original membership.

And if you want to get the special favor from the emperor, the best way is to be successful in your studies and become a talent recognized by the country.

For example, in the 23rd year of Hongwu, there was a Chaozhou student named Chen Zhi. After his father died, according to the convention, he should fill his father's vacancy and enlist in the army.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that "it is easy for a country to get a soldier, but it is difficult to get a talent", so Chen Zhi was exempted from military registration by franchise.

In order to deal with Mongolian forces, the Ming Dynasty sometimes allowed those who made military exploits to get out of slavery.

Of course, this kind of military merit is relatively not small, and it is not so easy to stand up, otherwise many people would be able to quit their citizenship.

"boom……"

The door of a public room was pushed open vigorously, startling several people inside, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?!"

Qi Tai, Wang Zhong and others filed in, and the person in charge of household registration hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen Mr. Qi, what is the importance of Mr. Qi coming?"

Qi Tai asked back: "What business do you have here?"

The chief hurriedly introduced: "My lord, this is Chief Lin of the Ministry of War."

Chief Lin could see that Qi Tai and the others looked wrong, so he saluted and said, "Master Qi, the King of Yan ordered people to come to the Ministry of War to report their military exploits. Resignation."

Qi Tai frowned and asked, "Have you finished leaving your citizenship?"

The head of the household department said: "My subordinates are checking the official documents of the Ministry of War, so I haven't had time yet..."

Hearing this, Wang Zhong, who had always been a little worried, breathed a sigh of relief, and his body relaxed.

Qi Tai said: "Let me see it!"

The Chief Lin of the Ministry of War had no choice but to hand over the official document to Qi Tai, who checked it from beginning to end.

Then he raised his head and said, "Boss Lin, the Ministry of Accounts is really busy today, and the official documents of the Ministry of War need to be checked carefully... How about this, I will send people who need to leave their citizenship to the Ministry of War tomorrow, what do you think?"

Director Lin knew that this was an excuse. Now that the official documents have been checked, and the slave statuses of several people have been found, they are placed on the table.

As long as the other party signs the official document and stamps the seal, it's all done!

So Mr. Lin said: "To be honest, Master Qi, the Ministry of War is very busy as the year approaches, and the people of King Yan's Mansion are still waiting for a reply in the yamen. I would like to ask Master Qi to raise your hand. How about this?"

As soon as Wang Zhong heard that the people from Yan Palace were still waiting, he quickly gave Qi Tai a wink, lest he would agree.

"Sorry, if you take someone out of slavery without careful checking, the household department will have to bear the blame. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin."

Seeing that Qi Tai was so tough and had no room for accommodation, the head of the Ministry of War couldn't help thinking to himself, did someone in the Ministry of War offend him?
Knowing that the other party is a celebrity beside His Royal Highness, he really didn't dare to offend, so he could only say: "Master Qi is too serious, then I will come back another day and leave."

Qi Tai also said politely: "Come here, send off Master Lin."

"Master Qi is polite, don't bother."

……

"Your Highness, luckily it's better than a mission!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Zhong handed over the slave status of Ma and his family to Zhu Yunxie, and told about the fact that the Yan Palace declared military merits and wanted to release Ma and his family from their citizenship.

Zhu Yunxi said: "If this is taken away by the Ministry of War, it will be troublesome! If you run fast, I will give you a jar of wine!"

Wang Zhong immediately burst into joy: "Thank you for the reward, Your Highness! The slaves will definitely serve His Highness with all their hearts!"

"Find a place to drink secretly, but don't get drunk, it would be too embarrassing for me to be caught!"

Wang Zhong showed a cheap smile and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the servants don't know anything else, they still have the ability to hide and drink secretly."

"I didn't see that you still have the ability to eat and drink. I really underestimated you before."

It's better to pick up a pen and write a big "Zhun" on the memorial written by Ma He to the Du Zhijian to apply for returning to Beijing.

Handed it over to Wang Zhong and said: "Send it to the Duzhi prison. The East Palace still lacks a groom, so let him drive the carriage."

Wang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help sighing secretly that His Highness really cared about this Ma He.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun personally went to the East Palace to ask for someone, and he still asked for it by name, and personally arranged the position...

This is the rhythm to take off!
Looking at the slaves of Ma He on the table, Zhu Yunxi felt very comfortable.

As long as you want people with your heart, there is nothing you can't get!

Even if King Yan's Mansion doesn't want to let people go, they have to let them go!
Prince Chu is also a prince!

Not only can I get a good talent this time, but it will be of great use to my actions in the future!

And in this secret battle with King Yan, he returned with a complete victory!

Is there anything more satisfying than defeating an enemy?
……

Zhu Yunxi was happy, but in the study of Prince Yan's Mansion in the capital, he was extremely depressed.

Qiu Fu complained and said: "Your Highness, I went to the Ministry of War to declare my merits, and by the way, I also freed Ma and this from slavery. They were fine.
Who knows that Qi Tai from the household department suddenly broke in and stopped him, which made everything fall short!It almost made it!Alas... how aggrieved! "

There is a saying called "Fenrun Gonggong", even if you have not fought in the battlefield, it does not matter, others can add your name to the meritorious service, this is called "Fenrun".

This is a common trick in officialdom, and even unrelated people can get "credit".

As for who to share or not to share, how much to share and how little to share, that's up to the Lord!
Yao Guangxiao said expressionlessly: "This subordinate must have guessed that someone must have noticed something was wrong, so I informed Qi Tai and stopped him..."

"I originally thought that the punishment would fail, so I hurried to the Ministry of War to ask for credit, and confirmed Ma He's credit. As long as he got out of slavery, everything would be easy to talk about, but I didn't expect the other party to be so alert, and he didn't leave a single chance. ah……"

Qiu Fu asked, "Master Yao, is there still a chance?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "Since the other party has already made a move, then the governor in the palace will definitely send him to another place."
