eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 282 Governor of Zhejiang and Fujian
With Yan Song's words, Zhao Shen's investigation of Zhan Xiushan's case is to uncover the old truth and investigate meticulously.

Here, the Criminal Department helped him more.He also provided him with a special place, not to mention the manpower.

In mid-June, the training in Jingli was over. Besides Zhao Shen, there was another person, Tian Zhengquan, the chief envoy of Guangdong.

However, Zhu Houzhao didn't fully believe what was written on the paper. For now, he left Tian Zhengquan to Gu Zuo, and temporarily let him be the second in command of the Shaofu Order. Let's wait and see.

There are still 24 officials in the remaining places who have all returned the same way. No one can tell how they will behave in the future and what their fate will be.The nine Beijing officials who participated in the training also returned to their original posts.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the second round of training. As soon as the news came out, Ming's official circles began to boil, starting from the Beijing circle where the news was first received and spreading to the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Zhao Shen, Tian Zhengquan.

These two names provoke the envy of too many people.

So much so that when Zhao Shen left the capital, he felt that there were a lot more horse-drawn carriages on the official road, maybe it was the sons left in the capital from various places who started to go back and spread the news.

"Where is Master Zhao going today?"

Zhao Shen lifted the curtain and looked outside.

In June, the sun was scorching hot, and the poplar trees were full of leaves, but the little shade did not cure the root cause.Fortunately, the number of people begging and begging for food along the way has decreased significantly, because basically everyone has heard that Beijing needs to be worked by hand, so even if they are on crutches, they all go.

The one who drove the carriage for Zhao Shen was a person from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who came to help. In fact, Dongchang also sent people to follow in private, at least the emperor had to understand the situation.

"In the Zhan Xiushan case, a total of four people died violently in the imperial prison. One of them was from Shuntian Prefecture."

Yan Song also knew, "The teacher is referring to Zhao Xiu from Dali Temple."

"Speaking of it, it's still my family. According to Xu Youming, they often gather together to gamble, and sometimes they can win or lose hundreds of taels. Zhao Xiu was born in a poor family. How can he have so many silver taels?" He wasted?"

"To check his property?"

"Family property is not the priority. The important thing is the relationship in the officialdom. Four people died in the Zhan Xiushan case, and it was obvious that they were murdered to silence them. The dead can't speak, but there must be something hidden."

"Then you should also go to his residence in Beijing?"

"The murderer was able to kill people in Jinyiwei, he must have extraordinary means. Someone must have touched these people's homes. Let's go to Zhao Xiu's hometown in Shuntian Prefecture."

Yan Song didn't take it seriously, "Go to his hometown, what can we find?"

Zhao Shenduan sat with his hands crossed, "I went through the criminal records and files for seven or eight days in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but I never came out. As soon as I came out, I went to Zhao Xiu's hometown. What do you think those who stare at me will think?"

Yan Song was shocked.

It turns out that this trick is called leading the snake out of the hole.

"Your Majesty announced at Fengtian Gate that this case will be investigated clearly. The murderer must be concerned at this time, but he will be confused. If this matter falls on Zhao Shen, he will send people to watch Zhao Shen. If it falls on Zhang Shen, he will send people to watch Zhang Shen. Shen. And I deliberately didn't move for several days, and now I suddenly move, there must be doubts in his heart."

"It is said that the teacher is good at apprehending, and it is true when I saw it today."

……

……

Forbidden City.

The emperor didn't know why, but suddenly changed his temper, and drove a man to the Taimiao on a dragon.

On the way, Liu Jin informed Mao Yuwen and Zhao Shen of their progress.

In fact, Zhao Shen was investigating the case of Zhan Xiushan. In fact, who was Zhan Xiushan in contact with in the local area, and what kind of interests did Zhan have with whom? The key was Mao Yuwen's investigation.

It's just that Zhao Shen caused a lot of commotion, and it seemed that many eyes were focused on this place.

In short, no matter what, the two tricks of soft and hard, that is, investigation and training, have been used, and the next step is nothing more than a problem of implementation.

To be honest, there is nothing the emperor can do about this level of execution.

It's like fighting, you sent Yue Fei, Han Xin, Li Jing, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun... You thought you had arranged everything, but if these people were defeated, what would you say about the emperor sitting on the dragon chair?
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao tried his best to choose two people with better practical ability, and the rest is to wait.

Today, when he went to Taimiao, he actually wanted to sit for a while.

To offer incense to the ancestors of the Zhu family, especially he who kind of misses Emperor Hongzhi.

In fact, it's not hypocritical, it's probably because he should have completed most of the layout and scatter, so there is some vacancy on the contrary, so he came here.

In the Taimiao are the emperors of all dynasties, and there are portraits.

Standing there, Zhu Houzhao stared carefully at Emperor Hongzhi's photo, which was actually a little different.

Looking forward, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di...

These names actually have something to do with him.

In the 17th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youzhen, king of Huai, was demoted to a commoner because he was involved in a corruption case in Zhejiang.But Emperor Hongzhi was still there at that time, and he loved his relatives very much.

The relegation to common people is the result of Zhu Houzhao's somewhat "acting like a baby".Moreover, only Zhu Youzhen was punished, and the feudal clan was not removed.

That is to say, in the suzerain-vassal system, there is still the position of King Huai, but the person who occupies this position is replaced by Zhu Youzhen's younger brother Zhu Youzhen.

Now that Prince Huai's family is involved in another major case, Zhu Houzhao is actually a little surprised.

He didn't understand, maybe the vassal king had connected with someone in the local area, and a certain ecology had been formed.

If this is the case, it really cannot be solved by changing one person.Because the palace must squander so much money, what can the newly appointed Duke Huai do?
Unless you cut the knife at yourself, you will keep yourself clean and abide by the court's laws.In theory, yes, but the princes of the Zhu family are raising a bunch of waste.

If everyone can have this awareness, the emperor doesn't need to be upset.

So Zhu Houzhao also sighed.

"...Father, my son doesn't know how to tell you some things. Back then you treated Duke Huai lightly, but now, even if you deal with them severely, they can do whatever they want. You are a good person and treat everyone well. Well, especially for me."

Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the Yuanyuan soft bed, and while he was in a daze, he said to himself, "Among the emperors, you are very special. Sometimes I don't know what you think. Probably ..."

"...You don't know what I think. I can take care of the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family. But if you can't take care of them, don't blame me. I am for Daming. The same is true for the grandpa and grandpa in front of me. , don’t blame me. In fact, maybe you guys will thank me, and when I hang up there, I firmly believe that Daming must be better than ever.”

"The palace is very empty now. Of the few children you gave birth to, I am the only one left. I don't even have a younger brother or sister who is around to make trouble. I see eunuchs or maids every day. In a few years... In a few years, my son, I will go out of the palace to have a look. Daming's great rivers and mountains have poured so much energy into me, so it's not too much for me to go and see, right?"

"I won a battle with my son in the north. Daddy, you have a good temper. It's okay to be bullied by those northern captives. I can't stand it. Look at the big man, whoever commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away. Look again In the Tang Dynasty, all barbarians inside and outside, whoever dared to call themselves soldiers, will be executed! Our Ming Dynasty is fine, but why should we father and son be bullied? I am not convinced, and I want to fight for it. He Dayan People like Khan and Huozhai are not Temujin or Kublai Khan, so why can’t they defeat him?”

"Even if the real Temujin came, I couldn't beat him, and I was still unconvinced. After a few years of saving strength, I still want to fight them. If the Han people can't feel proud under my rule, I don't deserve to be this Emperor. So no matter what the result is, at least I want to let future generations know that there is such a bloody emperor in Ming Dynasty when they mention Zhengde. It will still work."

"Anyway, today I just talk about whatever I want to say, and I will tell you casually. I used to believe in atheism, so it's hard to say now. If you can hear it, don't be angry, and don't laugh. In short, I will definitely give Daming the burden. You pick it up, there is no need to talk about other things. By the way, you'd better bless me to have a son. If I don't have a son, no matter how good I do, it won't be enough for the guy behind to defeat me."

Liu Jin who was outside didn't know how long it had passed, but he went in after hearing a "decree" suddenly.

After arriving inside, he knelt down obediently, and the emperor was already sitting with his legs crossed in the center of the room.

"Preaching the decree. Wang Jia, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, works diligently, is loyal to the country, treats the monarch with sincerity, and forgets selfishness in public. In fact, he is also a minister of our Ming Dynasty. I will use Zhejiang and Fujian to control people in need, and specially appoint them The governors of Zhejiang and Fujian are in charge of military affairs, control of waterways, guards, and food and pay!"

Liu Jin did not dare to delay after receiving the imperial decree, so he went to the cabinet immediately.

In the cabinet, both Li Dongyang and Xie Qian knew why the emperor appointed the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.At the beginning, they also recommended Liang Chu.

Now Wang Jia is going out in person, but they didn't even think of it.

In this dynasty, Wang Jia is the official emperor's teacher. In terms of morality, there are few people who are better than him, and in terms of being an official, there are not many people who are better than him.

Such a person was suddenly released to be the governor of two provinces.

It is conceivable how the local officials will react. If they don't know, they think they are going to suppress the rebellion!
Li Dongyang immediately grinds the ink and writes the pen. The emperor said with his mouth that when they, the great scholars, write the pen, it will be an article, and the handwriting is handsome, impartial, and extremely neat:

"...After entering Zhejiang and Fujian, you were dispatched in the middle, strictly ordered the civil and military officials, the governors of the two provinces and the third department and other officials, and listened to your restraint. All the money and food for soldiers and horses, water transportation, salt law, farmland, water conservancy, etc., can be benefited and eliminated. Those who harm or benefit the local area can be properly implemented. The unfinished business in the imperial edict allows you to act cheaply and not follow it. I hope you are old and talented, and you should resend it here. Merit, to be rewarded with skin, respect this!"

After writing, the imperial decree was sent to the imperial court immediately.

Zhu Houzhao was determined at this time, and after a brief glance, he said lightly: "Use the seal."
