Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 6 I'm a Genius

Bright.

Hongwu three years.

Fifth watch, early morning.

In front of Fengtian Temple.

The ministers lined up according to their rank. Pan Longyun stood in the queue, his heart filled with passion, but his face as calm as water.

On the way back to Beijing from Yangzhou, he didn't want to delay for a moment and almost rushed back to the capital.

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Liu Ji. On the way back, he had already thought of a countermeasure. Even if he took advantage of Yang Xian, he would never arouse the suspicion of Liu Ji and the East Zhejiang Party.

"The prince is here!"

The eunuch's high-pitched singing voice interrupted Pan Longyun's thoughts.

"Prince Prince!"

"Meet the prince!"

Officials on both sides of the steps paid their respects to Zhu Biao, while Pan Longyun also lowered his head.

Zhu Biao smiled and greeted the ministers all the way, and finally walked slowly to the door of the palace.

The whole process was refreshing.

Zhu Biao, who is only 17 years old, has fully demonstrated his unique personality charm.

He came to the entrance of the hall, looked at his younger brothers who were already waiting here, and showed a fatherly smile.

The elder brother is like a father.

Not to mention Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, who was only 11 years old at this time, had already shown his heroic appearance.

"Big brother."

Zhu Biao smiled and patted his two younger brothers on the shoulders. He looked back at one of the ministers from a high place and immediately looked back.

He knew that Yushi Pan Longyun came back from Yangzhou.

He really wanted to know that a few months ago, the man who could travel hundreds of miles overnight to buy back a rooster just to make the whole of Yangzhou have a croak of dawn, and then for the sake of the people, he would rather risk his own career than give up the rooster. Kill the guy who makes the soup.

How is Yangzhou governed now?

I should have tasted the chicken soup then.

This thought suddenly came to Zhu Biao's mind.

"Open the morning!"

The eunuchs singing and cheering sounded from the main hall, and the gate of Fengtian Hall slowly opened.

Pan Longyun's eyes were shining with confidence, and he followed the ranks of ministers and filed into the hall.

Above the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was already high on the dragon throne, looking down at the ministers.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's early arrival, no one showed any strange expressions on their faces, as if they were already used to it.

"Tianfu is virtuous!"

"Haiyu Xianning!"

"Holy blessings!"

The ministers shouted three times.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly.

"Zhu Qing is flat!"

"Thank you!"

After the simple ceremony, Pan Longyun stood up with the crowd, subconsciously raised his head, and found that he unexpectedly met Zhu Yuanzhang's expectant gaze with a smile.

Pan Longyun's body trembled involuntarily.

He was actually able to get extra favor from the Holy One.

Pan Longyun became more and more looking forward to what was about to happen.

Follow the process.

Zhu Yuanzhang first summoned the ministers who were about to leave Beijing, and then asked about the border war. "Bo Wen, how is the situation of the censors who were sent to secretly inspect various places?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Based on the distance of the provinces responsible for inspecting, except for places like Yunnan and Guizhou, most of them are already on their way back to Beijing at this time. Mr. Pan, who is in charge of Yangzhou Prefecture, is the first to return to Beijing." Liu Bowen said.

Seeing Liu Bowen mentioning himself, Pan Longyun quickly straightened his body.

Sure enough the next moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Pan Longyun, tell me what you saw and heard in Yangzhou."

Pan Longyun stepped out of the queue, bowed and saluted, stood up and reported back.

"Your Majesty, after Yang Xian took charge of Yangzhou, he did not build a government office and used all the more than [-] taels of government money to provide housing for farmers returning home. To this day, Yangzhou Prefecture still has three broken walls and a grass roof. The prefect Yang Xian is still there. Manage government affairs on the stone table."

After listening to Pan Longyun's words, the officials had different expressions, and some began to whisper.

The Zhejiang East Party officials all straightened their backs and looked proud.

The officials of the Huaixi Party were a little unable to sit still. They naturally disdained this in their hearts. In their view, this approach was just to gain fame and reputation.

But they knew that Lao Zhu just did this.

Li Shanchang, who was standing at the front, had his eyes slightly closed and his face was calm and unruffled.

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said with a smile on his face.

As expected, we did not misjudge the person. This Xiao Yang is indeed a person who loves the people.

But soon, Pan Longyun's next words would make Lao Zhu stop laughing.

"Secondly, Yang Xian distributed all the rice seeds allocated by the imperial household department to tens of thousands of people in Yangzhou. Each household received 30 kilograms of grain per month. Officials distributed the rice seeds according to their ranks."

After a brief silence.

The ministers were in an uproar!

"This"

"Is Yang Xian out of his mind?"

"Privately distributing rice seeds to supplement food rations is a capital crime!"

"Is this true?!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Everything I saw and heard in Yangzhou has been recorded and can be checked. I dare to guarantee it with my life." Pan Longyun knelt down and said loudly.

This time the situation was completely reversed.

Yang Xian's original image of being upright and caring for the people will turn into a person who disregards the laws of the court and the justice of the country, and only seeks to serve himself in the name of loving the people.

The first report shows that the motive of using 6000 taels of government money for people to settle down will also be a big question mark.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang hates corrupt officials, he also hates such upright officials who are useless to the country.

But Pan Longyun's words were not over yet.

"Third, in order to promote the rice seeds he bought from overseas business trips, Yang Xian directly led the team and uprooted hundreds of acres of rice seedlings that had been planted by the common people."

Whoa!
If the private distribution of rice seeds before was an unforgivable and pitiable crime, then this time it is completely out of control!

Liu Bowen glanced at Pan Longyun who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression, as if he was meeting the person in front of him for the first time.

He finally understood why the person responsible for inspecting Yangzhou Prefecture came back earlier than the censor who inspected Beizhili.

Li Shanchang, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his lips.

Victory is decided.

"You are so audacious!" Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice sounded like a dragon's roar. The noisy discussion under the palace disappeared instantly, and all the officials held their breath and concentrated.

The ministers bowed their heads, not daring to get into trouble at this time.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Father, Yang Qing may have a reason for doing this. Let's let Mr. Pan finish his words first." Zhu Biao said.

As expected, Pan Longyun had more to say.

I saw him kowtow to Longting repeatedly, and said with a sincere expression: "Your Majesty, after some investigation, I learned from a Yangzhou government official. I heard from him that Mr. Yang claimed to have obtained this batch of rice from overseas. The yield per acre will be two or three times that of ordinary rice seeds. If this is true, then everything he did before will be explained."

Pan Longyun's face was sincere in pleading for Yang Xian's forgiveness, but a trace of pride rose in his heart.

In his opinion, he was just telling the truth, and he did it for Yang Xian. In this way, the East Zhejiang Party had nothing to say to him.
