My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 71 Is Zhan Shifu Opened in Imperial Prison?

Zhu Gaochi took Zhu Zhanji away, leaving Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe staring at each other in the hall, next to a table of memorials and official documents half the height of a person, the father and son did not speak for a long time.

"Son, did your uncle do it on purpose? Did he have to deal with so many documents before?"

Zhu Gaoxu finally couldn't help asking.

"Huh? Almost, anyway, every time I come to see him, the official documents on the table can block his body."

Zhu Zhanhe replied very honestly.

In fact, this is also to blame for Zhu Yuanzhang, a workaholic. He killed Hu Weiyong, the last prime minister in history, and then canceled the post of prime minister, combining imperial power and prime minister power.

Zhu Yuanzhang is very energetic, and the absence of a prime minister will not affect his governance, but his children and grandchildren do not have such perverted energy as him.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, several imperial conquests in person, government affairs can only be handed over to the prince Zhu Gaochi, which caused Zhu Gaochi's burden to be extremely heavy.

Although there is already a cabinet, the cabinet now only has the power to discuss politics and has no decision-making power, so most things have to be handled by Zhu Gaochi. To a certain extent, Zhu Gaochi actually assumed the duties of the prime minister.

It was also under this heavy pressure that Zhu Gaochi suffered from stress overeating and became a fat man of three or four hundred catties.

"Boss can do it, so can I!"

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth, sat down behind the table, picked up a memorial and read it seriously.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu with a serious expression behind the book case, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly found that Zhu Gaoxu was serious, and he was very similar to Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the contents of the memorial, and suddenly his brows became more and more tight. It seemed that the matter above was very difficult, and he was also thinking hard about countermeasures.

This made Zhu Zhanhe nod again and again, although his father sometimes lacks a clue, but when he really wants to be serious, he behaves quite well.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head suddenly, and said to Zhu Zhanhe with a blank face: "Son, come here, help me see what this word reads?"

Zhu Zhanhe only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell over: I can't even recognize the words, and you still want to be a fart prince?

Of course this is his own father, Zhu Zhanhe definitely couldn't say that, so he could only approach honestly, and saw the word Zhu Gaoxu pointed at with his carrot-thick finger.

"This word... um..."

The characters are a bit uncommon, and Zhu Zhanhe doesn't know them either.

Now it's a bit embarrassing!
"Wait, I remember that the officials of Zhan Shifu are assisting the crown prince. Now, father, you are acting as the crown prince temporarily. Why don't you call the officials of Zhan Shifu to assist you in handling government affairs?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly slapped his hands and suggested, and by the way diverted the embarrassment of not being able to read.

"That's right, why did I forget those people from Zhan Shifu?"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, as the prospective prince, he can't let himself worry about everything, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered: "Go, call all the officials from Zhan Shifu!"

The eunuch agreed, and immediately ran away.

"Son, you're the one who thinks faster!"

Zhu Gaoxu excitedly praised Zhu Zhanhe again.

"Father just came here and hasn't gotten used to it yet, otherwise, even if your son doesn't say anything, you can definitely think about it."

Zhu Zhanhe said modestly with a smile, and then the father and son looked out of the hall with hope.

After a while, the officials from Zhan Shifu finally arrived, and saw a thin middle-aged official stepping into the hall, saluted Zhu Gaoxu: "Zhan Shifu Yude Yang Shiqi, pay homage to His Highness the King of Han!"

"Yang Shiqi?"

Hearing this familiar name, Zhu Zhanhe also looked at him in surprise. He saw that the future chief minister of the cabinet was about 50 to [-] years old. The stock is capable.

"Why is there only one Yude? Where did Zhan Shi go to Zhan Shi's mansion?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked very unhappy.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Zhan is concurrently held by Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Today, during the court meeting, His Majesty imprisoned him for his disrespect in front of the palace."

Yang Shiqi replied truthfully.

Zhu Gaoxu slapped his forehead when he heard the words, he had completely forgotten about Jin Zhong being locked up.

"What about the other officials in Zhan Shifu?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked displeasedly again, Zhan Shifu is the prince's staff after all, it is impossible that there is only one Yang Shiqi.

"There are Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Jin Wen and others in Zhan Shifu, but they were imprisoned last year."

Yang Shiqi raised his head and replied.

"Is your Zhan Shifu opened in the imperial prison?"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help complaining when he heard the words.

Zhu Zhanhe who was next to him pulled Zhu Gaoxu's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Father, why did you forget that last year, because of the delay in welcoming the driver, you took the lead in writing a letter to Zhan Zhan's official incompetence, so Huang Huai and others were imprisoned?" Get up!"

"It seems like this is the case!"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to his senses, no wonder he felt the names of Huang Huai and others sound familiar just now.

"No, everyone else has been locked up, why didn't you go in?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly asked Yang Shiqi back.

"The minister was also imprisoned before, but later His Majesty felt that the minister was irrelevant, so he released the minister again."

Yang Shiqi replied very calmly.

"It turns out that you were released because you were too useless."

Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself.

Zhu Zhanhe next to him was also speechless, the person in front of him was the future chief minister of the cabinet, if he was useless, then others would be even more useless.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince ordered his subordinates to discuss the regulations for next year's imperial examinations. This is a statement written by the minister in response to the shortcomings of the previous imperial examinations. Please read it on your behalf!"

I saw Yang Shiqi took out a memorial from his sleeve, and then presented it with both hands.

Zhu Gaoxu's face darkened, he asked Yang Shiqi to ask him to help him with government affairs, but he was lucky enough to write another book for himself.

"Okay, put down the memorial, you go back!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hands in disgust and said, since he is a useless person, he can't help him if he stays.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yang Shiqi put down the memorial, and walked out of the Wenhua Hall so quickly, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to stop him but he didn't have time to speak.

Seeing Yang Shiqi's fleeing back, Zhu Gaoxu snorted heavily, and sat there sulking.

Zhu Zhanhe had no choice but to propose again: "Father, do you want to ask Grandpa Huang to let him release the people from Zhan Shifu temporarily, so that he can help you get acquainted with government affairs first?"

"No, without the people from Zhan Shifu, your uncle still worked for a year. If I beg your grandpa to let someone help me, wouldn't I admit that I am not as good as your uncle?"

But Zhu Gaoxu was very stubborn. After finishing speaking, he stared fiercely at the hill-like memorial in front of him, and said fiercely: "I fought with them, today either they will die, or I will die!"

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab a memorial, and gritted his teeth to read it.

Looking at the ruthless Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanhe was worried about his mental state, so he didn't dare to leave, and sat by the side to accompany him.

During the period, Zhu Zhanhe also wanted to help Zhu Gaoxu, so he chose a memorial to read, and then put it down in despair. He had little understanding of Ming Dynasty's political structure and power operation, and he couldn't understand these memorials at all, so he could only do nothing to help.

It is easy to get sleepy when bored, especially Zhu Zhanhe.

Just as he was dozing off in a daze, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "creak~".

Zhu Zhanhe opened his sleepy eyes, looked around and found the source of the sound.

I saw Zhu Gaoxu frowning tightly, holding the memorial in one hand, and the writing brush in the other. He bit the tip of the writing brush in his mouth, and his teeth were struggling with the hard pen holder, which made that strange sound.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu biting the tip of his pen, Zhu Zhanhe seemed to have returned to the examination room of his student days. When a group of scumbags encountered a problem they could not do, they would either bite the tip of their pen or gnaw their nails, exactly the same as Zhu Gaoxu in front of him.

With a "crack~" sound, the writing brush made of good purple bamboo was finally overwhelmed, and was bitten into two pieces by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Bah! What a broken brush, so useless!"

Zhu Gaoxu spit out the tip of the brush in his mouth, said with a displeased face, reached out and picked up a new brush, and continued to bite.

　The third is coming.
