Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 364 Li Shanchang returns to Beijing, go and call Ouyang Lun (please subscribe!!)

As Wang Zhong's sharp voice sounded.

Li Shanchang walked in slowly.

Although Li Shanchang put on a brand new official uniform and tried his best to straighten his back, even though he had been to the Tai Chi Hall countless times, today's walk made Li Shanchang extremely long and felt extremely unfamiliar!

"Your Majesty, Li Shanchang, is here to greet you!"

Li Shanchang slowly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang coldly and said in a deep voice: "Li Shanchang, I was really blind when I asked you to manage the four southern provinces. I tell you that I am very disappointed in you! Very disappointed!"

Li Shanchang prostrated on the ground, "I know that I am guilty of a serious crime, please punish me!"

"Punishment?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again and again, "By punishing you, can the four southern provinces be restored to their original state? By punishing you, can the people stop rebelling?"

"Why did we rebel in the first place?"

"That's because the government forced me to live no longer! Do you understand?!"

"I understand." Li Shanchang nodded.

The thoughts in the minds of the civil and military officials are similar to those of Zhu Yuanzhang. The more people know about the current situation in the four southern provinces, they will all know what kind of mess this is. If given ten or twenty years, some people will still be willing to go there. Let’s give it a try, but no one is sure that the four southern provinces can be restored to their original state in a short period of time.

Right!

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously startled when he heard this name, and then suddenly realized.

Fifty million taels seems like a lot, but when divided equally among the four southern provinces, each province only has 12 million taels. It is impossible to save the stock market with this amount of money.

"Your Majesty, I think that if all the money from Guo Huan's group of corrupt officials is used for the recovery of the four southern provinces, the current situation may be changed!"

"You! You are all officials of my Ming Dynasty!"

Guo Zi also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has made an estimate. As long as the imperial court continues to invest in the four southern provinces and infrastructure and the stock market recover, the situation in the four southern provinces will gradually improve."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the court. There was no surprise. Ouyang Lun still did not come to court.

Although the four southern provinces have become like this, they are still skinny and bigger than horses. The foundation is still there. If Ouyang Lun is allowed to go, there is a high probability of success.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun instantly became a life-saving straw for these officials.

But Ouyang Lun is different.

During this period of time, Ouyang Lun was raising a child in the clan's mansion, as if he had disappeared from the world, and Zhu Yuanzhang actually ignored this guy.

When Lu Chang said these words, everyone's eyes lit up. Even Li Shanchang, who was lying on the ground, raised his head, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lu Chang spoke.

The Tai Chi Hall fell silent again.

"Let me think of a solution!"

Ouyang Lun is the most suitable candidate to solve the four southern provinces!

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that the previous business model of the four southern provinces was completely copied by Li Shanchang from Beizhili. It can be said that Ouyang Lun was the originator. In other words, Ouyang Lun was the most aware of the problems currently encountered by the four southern provinces. He must have There is a way around it.

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "The four southern provinces have been ruined like this. How can tens of millions of taels solve the problem?! When you say that things will gradually get better, do you want me to wait for ten or even twenty years? ?”

Song Lian, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "Since Guo Huan has embezzled fifty million taels, then Guo Huan's accomplices may have embezzled a lot too. I suggest that these people's homes be confiscated and their families confiscated, which will also It’s a lot of money!”

"Now, who of you will tell me how to solve the problems in the four southern provinces next? Or who of you is willing to volunteer to solve the problem!"

"Understood? I don't think you understand!" Zhu Yuanzhang almost roared: "Li Shanchang, I will make it clear to you about your culpability, but not now. What we need to do now is to solve the problems encountered in the four southern provinces!"

"The problems in the four southern provinces are nothing more than three problems: food, infrastructure and the stock market. When it comes to solving these three problems, Prince Consort Ouyang said that he was second. No one in the entire Ming Dynasty dared to say that he was first!"

"Trash! With so many of you, no one dares to stand up and deal with this matter?"

Besides, if the person who solves the problem is never selected, then Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang doesn’t know what else he will do.

Lu Chang is right!

"The Ming Dynasty has given you so much salary, how can we support you?"

For a moment, only the sound of breathing could be heard in the hall, and even the sound of breathing weakened little by little, until no sound could be heard at all.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the most suitable person to do this is the Zongren Ling of the Zongren Mansion and the consort Ouyang Lun!"

Snapped!

Seeing that all the officials didn't speak for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang angrily slapped the dragon case.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to break out, Lu Chang, a cabinet scholar, stood up.

After a while, still no one came forward.

"Your Majesty, these four southern provinces learned from Northern Zhili, and Northern Zhili was built by Ouyang Prince Consort himself, and Ouyang Prince Consort is his real father!"

"Ouyang Lun!!?"

"Your Majesty, I also think it would be best to leave this matter to Prince Consort Ouyang!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the entire Tai Chi Hall fell silent.

How could I forget this guy?

Zhu Yuanzhang is now considered an old stock investor. He knows very well that if the problems in the four southern provinces are to be completely solved, he must save the southern stock market. Only when the stock market continues to rise, people will regain their confidence, and now the southern stock market is in a state of collapse. , if you want to boost the stock price in the early stage, you must let the national team go!

What was the scene like in Beizhili back then? It is completely synonymous with poverty and backwardness.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"I can't wait ten years, let alone two hundred thousand! I will only give you a look!"

As a biological father, I am still a biological grandfather!

After hearing the words of these officials, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in his heart, but he also recognized that Ouyang Lun was the most suitable person to deal with this problem.

"Wang Zhong!"

"The minister is here."

"Go to the clan mansion and call Ouyang Lun! How can a dignified first-class official not come to court every day?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Yes." After Wang Zhong accepted the order, he was ready to call someone.

"Wait a minute, I know this guy Ouyang Lun. When he heard that he was coming to the morning court, he must have a lot of reasons. In this way, you take my charioteer with you, and also bring the best wet nurse in the palace, and the eunuch who takes care of the baby. And The best physician and tailor."

"If his leg hurts, let him be my charioteer. If he feels uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor look at him. If he says he has no clothes, let the tailor make it for him on the spot. My grandson can be taken care of by a wet nurse or eunuch. In a word Let him have no reason!"

"Yes!" Wang Zhong nodded heavily.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words to Wang Zhong were also heard by all the civil and military officials, and they were all dumbfounded. They secretly said that His Majesty seemed to be strict and dissatisfied with Ouyang's son-in-law, but in his actions he was completely indulgent. The relationship between the two sons-in-law was really complicated. !

Of course, there is another possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang needed Ouyang Lun to solve the problems in the four southern provinces, and had to adopt some tolerant policies towards Ouyang Lun.

Regardless of the reason, the treatment of Ouyang's consort was absolutely unique in the Ming Dynasty, and even when looking at other dynasties in history, it was also unique.

In the clan's mansion.

Ouyang Lun was walking by the lake with Xiao Ping'an in his arms. The birth of the child made Ouyang Lun's heart truly belong to the world, and his life became increasingly rich.

Bringing up a baby is really a painful and joyful thing.

He has been a man for two lifetimes, but this is his first time as a father, so Ouyang Lun behaves extremely cautiously.

Moreover, this first child was a son, and Ouyang Lun could only hold it in his mouth for fear of melting, and hold it in his hands for fear of falling.

At this moment, Wang Zhong walked in anxiously.

"Hey, my Prince Consort, you are so relaxed! This Tai Chi Palace is about to explode!"

"Oh!?" Ouyang Lun smiled, "My lord, if it's about to explode, it means it hasn't exploded yet. When it's done, you must come and notify me, and I'll take my daughter to watch the fun!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhong was speechless for a while, "Prince Consort, Your Majesty asked me to ask you to go to Tai Chi Hall. This is an imperial decree!"

"Ouch! Why does my stomach hurt all of a sudden? No, no, no, I have to take a rest. Please help your majesty to ask for leave!" Ouyang Lun kept Xiaoping safe with one hand and covered his stomach with the other.

"Prince-in-law, the Za family has just brought the imperial doctor. He is outside. He can come over and give you a look right away!" Wang Gonggong said calmly.

Forehead.

Ouyang Lun was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight and frowned, "Oh, my legs were a little crooked yesterday when I was holding the child. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk steadily. I don't want to go to the Tai Chi Hall to embarrass His Majesty the Emperor." .”

Wang Zhong seemed to be watching your performance quietly, "Prince-in-law, your Majesty specially asked his chariot to follow you here. Prince-in-law can go as long as he sits on the chariot!"

Forehead.

Before Ouyang Lun could change his words, Wang Zhong spoke again, "Prince-in-law, in addition to the imperial physician and imperial chariot, the Za family also brings wet nurses, tailors, etc. If you have any needs, we will help you immediately. Let's go!"

"Your Majesty and all the civil and military officials are waiting!"

Forehead.

This time, Ouyang Lun was really shocked, "Okay, okay, you guys are cruel enough!"

"Zhou Bao."

"master."

"Take the young master to the eldest lady, and I'll go to the Tai Chi Palace."

"Yes, sir."

"Let's go, let's go." Ouyang Lun waved his hand and strode out of the clan's mansion.

Ouyang Lun was not polite. He sat on Zhu Yuanzhang's chariot and went to the Tai Chi Hall. He had even sat on the dragon chair, so this chariot was nothing.

"Eunuch Wang, you have to tell me what happened in the court, right?"

"Going back to Prince Consort, something really big happened this time. There was great chaos in the four southern provinces, people revolted and there were shocking corruption cases. Now His Majesty is calling everyone together to find a solution!" Wang Zhong said truthfully.

This is indeed the case!

Although he was taking care of his children during this period, he also knew some of the problems in the four southern provinces. He also sent Black Wolf to serve as a "corpse collection team" in the four southern provinces, taking the opportunity to collect a lot of assets and stocks.

Be nice!

Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this and wanted to take action on me again?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun had the urge to jump out of the car.

But if you think about it carefully, if you just want to operate on him, why would Zhu Yuanzhang invite him in this way? Wouldn't it be easier to just let the Jin Yiwei come to arrest him?

So, Lao Zhu has something to ask of me!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Lun straightened his back a lot.

"My lord, your majesty asked me to go, do you want me to analyze it for him?"

"Ouyang Prince Consort is really smart. Your Majesty just wants to invite the Prince Consort to discuss it with you. All the officials say that you are the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, no one can compare with you." Wang Zhong said, making a big show. thumb.

"Haha, you guys are discerning!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

All your ancestors have taken advantage of you.

However, this matter is not simple. Not only does the current situation in the four southern provinces need to be resolved, but there is also a huge corruption case that involves a wide range of things. If there is anything wrong, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.

When we get to Tai Chi Hall, we will observe the situation first.

Sitting on the imperial chariot, Ouyang Lun quickly arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

When Ouyang Lun entered the Tai Chi Hall with one foot, he could clearly feel the eyes falling on him.

Cough cough--

Ouyang Lun, who originally wanted to sneak in secretly, now had to hold his head high and walk into the hall.

This is the second time Ouyang Lun has entered Tai Chi Hall.

So he headed straight for the last position in the hall.

"Ouyang Lun, stand in front!"

Before Ouyang Lun could reach the last position, Zhu Yuanzhang's rather speechless voice sounded.

"You are also a first-rank official after all. In the entire Taiji Hall, except for me and the prince, no one has a higher rank than you. There happens to be an empty seat in the first row. You stand here!"

"Your Majesty, I'm quite shy, but actually the last one is pretty good." Ouyang Lun muttered.

"Can you come up? If you don't come up, I will let you stand with the prince!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"I'm coming up!"

Ouyang Lun did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood in the first row of civil servants. Even Song Lian and Lu Chang were behind Ouyang Lun, and behind them were the six ministers.

Standing with Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang can't figure it out, isn't he putting himself on the fire?

Whichever is the lesser of two evils.

Seeing Ouyang Lun standing honestly in the first row, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Ouyang Lun, Wang Zhong should have told you why he called you here, right?"

"The prince said that all infrastructure projects in the four southern provinces have been suspended, the stock market has collapsed, and officials and businessmen have colluded in corruption, which has led to people's livelihood being in dire straits. Some people can no longer bear the uprising."

Ouyang Lun nodded and said.

"I didn't ask you to come here to tell you the problem again, but to ask you to solve the problem!"

"On the way here, you must have thought a lot. I won't give you time to think. Just tell me the solution!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently.

Forehead.

Lao Zhu, you are so impatient!

Damn it, Cao Pi gave Cao Zhi time to walk seven steps to compose a poem!

It's better for you to come up and ask for the answer. Who do you think I am? God?

But your attitude is not at all like your attitude towards God!
