Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 21 Entering the Metropolitan Procuratorate
"That kid really said that?"

In the East Pavilion, after Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the gold case, he was writing the memorial. Ten steps away, stood the respectful Shao Zhi.

Of course, the latter did not come to report to Zhu Yuanzhang just for Chen Yunfu. If that was the case, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have summoned him either.

When Shao Zhi came today, he mainly talked about the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Chen Yunfu told this to my son, and I just relayed it after knowing it."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, looked up, and there was a three-point smile on his always serious face.

"That's right, this little guy really didn't fool me. He is quick-witted and agile. What's rare is that his brain is still very bright. After a few years of practice, he will be a good seed."

Shao Zhi's heart trembled when he heard it.

I have been an official for decades, but I have never heard him praise anyone from the Hongwu Emperor.

This little guy named Chen Yunfu is amazing, amazing.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood, Shao Zhi dared to add a few words along the way, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the clinker, turned around and didn't say much.

"Let's talk about the business. Is there any progress in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Shao Zhi hurriedly bowed to the ground, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, Yu Min and Ding Ting have verified some clues about Guo Huan's corruption in the local area, but there is a lot of resistance in the local area, and the evidence in many details is still unclear." It cannot be firmly fixed.”

After a pause, Shao Zhi resolutely said: "In addition, from the center to the local area, there are more or less people involved. The Zhejiang Weng Junbo case has been dragged on for more than a year and there is no progress. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has arrested several suspects. , but it doesn't seem to be very concerned."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any emotional fluctuations, but just hummed lightly.

"You want to tell me that there are probably a lot of people behind Guo Huan, right?"

Shao Zhi even swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and started to tremble when he was nervous.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, last year the case of Weng Junbo was discovered, which involved the submission of money, food, financial revenue and expenditure, and tax accounts to the Ministry of Households by the local chief envoy, government, and county.

This is a serious matter. If it is true, then I even have reason to suspect that the audits of the Ministry of Households and the local yamen are completely artificially tampered with. less than. "

"Enough, enough."

"His Majesty."

"Enough is enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been calm just now, suddenly roared like a furious army. Shao Zhi was so frightened that he knelt down directly, his forehead was pressed against the Beijing brick, and his sweat pooled into a puddle.

"Are they trying to destroy my Ming Dynasty? Are they worthy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang exerted force with his right hand, breaking the Zhu Pi he was holding.

"Check it out, let me check it out, I must find out the truth!"

Shao Zhi threw his head down and replied loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely check it out!"

After saying that, he got up, bowed his waist and stepped back.

When Shao Zhi retreated to the threshold, just as he turned around, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice behind him again.

"Let that Chen Yunfu go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with you, and be a knife and pen official, and learn something from you."

Shao Zhi turned his head in astonishment.

"The reason why I abolished the imperial examination is because the imperial examination disappointed me so much. It broke my heart for the people it elected for me and for this country!
Now I only believe in myself, and I will not misjudge anyone. "

"My Emperor Shengming, long live long live long live!"

Shao Zhi bowed again, shouted long live three times and then left.

At this moment, he was already sweating heavily.

But as soon as the wind outside the palace blew and stepped on Chang'an Street, Shao Zhi woke up instantly again.

What did the emperor say just now, let Chen Yunfu enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate as a swordsman?

Although it is said that in ancient times, the difference between officials and officials was like cloud and mud. In front of officials, officials were no different from dogs, and they were allowed to beat and scold, but in the end they were eating the emperor's food.

What's more, can Chen Yunfu, a knife and pen official, be an ordinary official?

The emperor appointed him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
On a bigger scale, these are all ministers of imperial envoys.

Going here, I have to see that Chen Yunfu no matter what I say.

Thinking of this, Shao Zhi, who returned to the mansion, summoned Shao Ziheng and said, "You go to find that Chen Yunfu, just use the two Buddhist scriptures he sent that day as an excuse, invite him to have a light meal at home, thank you two."

The latter blinked, and although he didn't know what to do, he still obediently complied, and ran out.

"grateful?"

When Chen Yunfu received the invitation, he also didn't understand. He looked suspiciously at Shao Ziheng in front of him and said, "Brother Ziheng is too polite. The official of the Yushi Hall is celebrating his fiftieth birthday. As a nephew, it is my duty to express my heart." , not to mention me and Brother Ziheng, you can be regarded as good friends who have met each other lately, so there is no need for it."

"Hey, that's what my father meant."

Shao Ziheng was a simple person, and he revealed his old background with just one mouthful, which made Chen Yunfu even more confused.

Why did Shao Zhi see him?
A majestic Youqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how could he have so much time to see a child like himself.

Suppressing the confusion in his heart, Chen Yunfu changed his outfit and followed Shao Ziheng to Shao's mansion.

On the way, Chen Yunfu tentatively inquired.

"Has your father met anyone today?"

"Then I don't know, my father went to court early in the morning."

Who can I see in the upper court, except.

Zhu Yuanzhang!
Chen Yunfu sniffled, no way, maybe Lao Zhu talked about himself in front of Shao Zhi.

Or, if you have something to say, you want Shao Zhi to convey it.

Shocked even thinking about it, Chen Yunfu didn't dare to ask any more questions, and followed into Shao's residence, all the way to the study.

Shao Ziheng clasped his fingers lightly.

"father?"

"come in."

Pushing open the door, Shao Ziheng went in first, standing on the threshold and bowing.

"Father, the baby is here."

At this time, Chen Yunfu stepped over the threshold and entered the study, and bowed to Shao Zhi to the end.

"I'm Chen Yunfu, see the official of the Yushitang."

To be honest, according to the national ceremony established by the Ministry of Rites in the fourth year of Hongwu, a white man like Chen Yunfu would have to salute Shao Zhi when he saw him.

However, Chen Yunfu was a monk before, so he was not used to prostrating, and Shao Zhi would not see this strange thing with Chen Yunfu.

He's not in the mood to worry about etiquette right now.

Business matters.

"You are Chen Yunfu? Hehe, you really are a young talent. Come and sit down."

"Thank you, Officer Yushi."

Chen Yunfu's answer was quite satisfactory, so that Shao Zhi was unwilling.

"You and Heng'er are good friends, and if you call me an official position, it's not obvious, so it's okay to call me uncle."

Shao Zhi is so polite?
Chen Yunfu also had a familiar temperament, since Shao Zhi didn't put on airs, of course he didn't want to call him every official position, so he just said it right away.

"Then I will be bold, my nephew has seen my uncle."

"OK."

Shao Zhi's eyes were full of smiles, and he ordered Shao Ziheng to go out to inform the meal preparations, and he got straight to the point.

"Tomorrow, I will enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the old man, and I will find you an errand."

Chen Yunfu's eyes were straightened.
