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

"We are going to confiscate your sedan chair, get off now!"

"You can only get this sedan back after you pay the fine and complete traffic education."

The bailiff spoke slowly.

Um? ? !
Hearing what the yamen runner said, Li Shanchang's men laughed out loud, "Boy, are you new here? The people sitting in this sedan chair are the old Prime Minister Li and the Duke of Korea. How dare you seize the Duke of Korea's sedan chair? Hey, fine!?"

The yamen runner said nothing, but wrote a list, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to Li Shanchang's servant, "Take this list to the Ministry of Revenue to pay the fine within ten days."

Then the bailiff waved his hand, and dozens of bailiffs wearing the same "traffic police" uniforms immediately rushed out. They first pulled a few bailiffs aside, and then drove Li Shanchang out and seized the sedan chair.

"Fellow citizens, I am from the traffic police brigade under the Ministry of Revenue, and I am specifically responsible for traffic issues. For those who ride horses, drive cars, carry sedan chairs, or drive carriages recklessly, you can just complain. Once they are found out, they will be severely punished according to the traffic rules of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who they are!!"

The bailiff spoke loudly to the people watching around.

Upon hearing this, the people cheered and applauded.

"Today's temporary inspection is over."

"Close the team!"

At a command, a group of traffic police and yamen runners lifted Li Shanchang's sedan chair and left in an orderly queue.

Li Shanchang, his men and sedan bearers were left hanging in the air.

The surrounding people also started to talk.

"Tsk tsk, this traffic police brigade is really powerful! They even dare to confiscate the sedan chair of the Korean prince!"

"It's so fucking satisfying. Those people, relying on their status, were running wild regardless of whether they were riding horses or sitting in sedan chairs. Now, someone is here to take care of them!"

"Yes! I was wondering why the traffic police were so powerful. It turns out they are an agency under the Ministry of Revenue. Now I understand."

"Prince Consort Ouyang is really amazing!"

"Prince Consort Ouyang really cares about us ordinary people, unlike some officials who oppress us ordinary people!"

"Shh! People are still here, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"What are you afraid of? We have the Prince Consort protecting us now. I don't believe they dare to kill people in the street!"

Li Shanchang's face looked ugly, and after hearing these discussions, his face became even uglier.

Just at this moment, an official arrived with a large group of yamen runners.

"Master Xiangguo, I am late. Please forgive me!"

This official was none other than Zhao Pu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, who was promoted by Li Shanchang and was his trusted confidant.

"Sir Zhao, why did you come just now? My master's sedan chair was just snatched away by a group of people. When has my master been treated like this?" Li Shanchang didn't say anything, and his subordinates hurriedly said.

"How dare you snatch the Prime Minister's sedan chair in broad daylight? This is simply outrageous!"

Zhao Pu said angrily.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister. I will bring people to take your sedan back and bring the person who stole it to justice!"

"Everyone follow me!"

After saying that, Zhao Pu immediately took his men to chase after him.

Soon it was afternoon.

This is the Ministry of Revenue.

Several cabinet ministers including Song Lian and Lu Chang came to the Ministry of Revenue.

Not only cabinet ministers came, but also the retired emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the emperor Zhu Biao came.

Seeing that the retired Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had arrived, Song Lian, Lu Chang and other cabinet ministers' faces changed slightly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in their eyes.

"Your Highness, I bow to you, Your Majesty!"

"Long live Long live Long live!"

Song Lian, Lu Chang and others could only meet him in person.

"No gifts."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, took in the expressions of Song Lian and the others, and said calmly: "Why do you all have such expressions? Don't you want us to come?"

"I dare not...I dare not!"

Song Lian, Lu Chang and others shook their heads.

"Don't dare? I think you just dare to be angry but not to speak. Don't think that I don't know what you want to do!?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

this.
Hearing this, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others were startled and looked at Emperor Zhu Biao. From what Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang said, it was obvious that he knew the purpose of their visit to the Ministry of Revenue!
Your Majesty, you asked us not to tell on others before, but you were the first to tell on them!
"You don't need to look at the emperor. He is the one who tells us what's in your mind. If we want to know what you think, do we need to ask the emperor? As long as we think, we can know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again.

It wasn't the Emperor who reported it?! Then who was it?
Song Lian, Lu Chang and others were stunned. There was no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to lie to them about this matter, and Zhu Biao had no reason to inform the retired emperor.

Then there are only the Jinyiwei.

Thinking of this, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others looked gloomy. Although Zhu Yuanzhang had abdicated and became the emperor, the Jinyiwei under his command had never changed. The Jinyiwei's monitoring ability could naturally detect their thoughts clearly.

Subconsciously showing a look of fear.

"Okay, don't look so aggrieved. I didn't say I was going to punish you! And I'm not here to mess up this matter. The most important thing is to solve the problem, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Eh! ?

The emperor didn't seem to want to pursue the matter, and he didn't say anything about canceling it!
Song Lian, Lu Chang and others, who had completely given up in their hearts, suddenly brightened up their eyes. It seems that it is still possible to enjoy the back massage with essential oils today!
"The Emperor is wise!"

"The Emperor is right. We came to the Ministry of Revenue to solve the problem. Everything else is just a bonus."

"As officials of the Ming Dynasty, we are bound to make due contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Eating, drinking and having fun are definitely not what we want!"

A number of cabinet ministers expressed their views.

Zhu Biao also spoke up, "After learning about what happened today, the emperor specially called me to ask about it. I didn't expect that the emperor already knew about it. Moreover, the emperor came along and could give us some advice. You all just need to do your own job well. Of course, it's okay to relax and have some fun."

After hearing what Zhu Biao said, Song Lian, Lu Chang and others felt relieved and nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, where's Li Shanchang? Why don't we see him? This guy is always there for eating, drinking and having fun."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some curiosity.

When they saw Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Li Shanchang, the officials looked a little strange.

Zhu Biao said, "Father, this Duke of Korea and Brother-in-law Ouyang have always had some conflicts. This is the Ministry of Revenue, so Duke of Korea is unlikely to come. Brother-in-law Ouyang did not invite Duke of Korea when he was in Fengtian Hall, so it is normal that he is not here."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and waved his hands when he heard this. "Your Majesty, you don't understand Li Shanchang. He is even more shameless than us! He doesn't have the integrity of a scholar at all. Now we have to listen to Ouyang Lun's solution to the currency problem in the Ministry of Revenue. How can Li Shanchang be absent?"

"What's more, the Ministry of Revenue has many activities today, and he will not be absent. Just wait and see!" After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Biao and other ministers did not refute, but they still felt that Li Shanchang would not come. After all, as an old minister, Li Shanchang still had to save his face.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go find Ouyang Lun. This kid likes to do these fancy things. If he knows a way, he should just tell us directly. But he won't do that and makes us wait!"

While Zhu Yuanzhang was muttering to himself, he led the way into the hall of the Ministry of Revenue. Officials from the Ministry of Revenue along the way hurriedly saluted when they saw that it was the retired emperor and his entourage.

"Ouyang Lun!"

"Ouyang Lun, where have you been?! Ahem."

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted twice and started coughing.

"Father, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue will definitely go to call Brother-in-law Ouyang when they see us coming. Let's sit for a while. I think Brother-in-law Ouyang will be here soon."

Zhu Biao was worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's health and hurriedly advised him.

"okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then, with the help of Zhu Biao and Wang Zhong, he sat in the first seat.

After a while, Ouyang Lun came out, stretching and yawning, "Your Highness has met the Emperor, and has met His Majesty the Emperor."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Ouyang Lun's sleepy look, he knew without a doubt that he had been sleeping before they arrived, so he said unhappily: "Ouyang Lun, don't you see what time it is? You still have the mind to sleep?!"

"I want to ask you, have you found the solution to the currency problem you mentioned this morning?"

Ouyang Lun shook his head. "I was still thinking about it. Now that you are here, let's think about it together. I arranged this situation today just to get everyone together to think of a solution."

"Let's go. Although there is no solution, we have prepared everything to relax us."

"Since everyone is here, follow me!"

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry when they heard that Ouyang Lun had not yet thought of a solution, Zhu Biao was also confused, and the faces of all the cabinet ministers fell. But when they heard that Ouyang Lun had already prepared some relaxation measures, their faces eased a lot.

Things are things to do, and relaxing is relaxing. Although the problem has not been solved yet, maybe there will be a solution if you relax!

Everyone at the scene looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with anticipation in their eyes, even Zhu Biao was no exception.

"Ahem, since you are ready, it would be a waste if we leave now. Let's relax for a while." Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Ouyang Lun. "Let me be frank. If you still haven't figured out a solution after we relax, I won't let you go!"

"Yes, yes, I will do my best!" Ouyang Lun nodded, then made a gesture of invitation, "Emperor, Your Majesty, and all the ministers, let's go!"

"well!"

"Let's go!"

Just like that, under the leadership of Ouyang Lun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and a group of cabinet ministers walked into the backyard of the Ministry of Revenue. The backyard of the yamen was originally a place for officials of the Ministry of Revenue to rest, but it had been transformed by Ouyang Lun.

Not everyone enjoys it together, but each person is assigned a single room and receives individual service.

About an hour later, everyone came out one after another, including Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and everyone had a look of satisfaction on their faces.

"comfortable!"

"carefree!"

“So this is what essential oil back massage is all about!”

“This is real relaxation.”

Ouyang Lun also came out, "Everyone, we have enjoyed ourselves, let's discuss things while having a massage and eating some delicious food!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun clapped his hands.

Immediately, someone pushed in several single sofas that people could lie down on, and Ouyang Lun lay down on them in a teaching manner, "All of you lie down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others followed suit and lay down.

The beautiful technicians walked in in an orderly line and bowed to everyone.

"Technician No. 1 is happy to serve you."

"Technician No. 2 is happy to be of service to you."

"Technician No. 8 is happy to serve you."

Not only technicians, but also special chefs prepared delicious food for everyone on the spot, and shadow puppet shows were played inside the hall.

This whole set of services allows everyone to completely relax.

"Ouyang Lun, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"Compared to you, our emperor is just like a beggar!"

While enjoying it, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but complain.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. I feel that everyone is working very hard, so I want everyone to relax for a while, so that they can better contribute to the development of Ming Dynasty."

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Okay, now that we've relaxed enough, shouldn't we think about how to solve the problem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget the most important purpose of coming to Ouyang Lun today.

"Of course no problem."

Just when Ouyang Lun was about to speak, a servant suddenly came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Korea is outside asking for an audience!"

"Haha, I mean Li Shanchang will come!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "With such a good thing, how could he not come?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Ouyang Lun, "Ouyang Lun, let's ask Li Shanchang to come in and discuss this together. Do you have any objection?"

"Everything is decided by the emperor, but there are only so many seats here. I'm afraid Lord Li Shanchang will have to stand when he comes in." Ouyang Lun spread his hands and said indifferently.

"No problem, it's his fault for coming late." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then ordered, "Go, let Li Shanchang in!"

"Yes." The servant quickly retreated.

A moment later, Li Shanchang came in. "Your Highness, I, Li Shanchang, greet the Emperor!"

"Li Shanchang, you are late and Ouyang Lun has not prepared a seat for you. You can only stand and discuss with everyone. Is that okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"No, no problem, old minister." Li Shanchang half covered his face and spoke depressedly.

"Hey, Li Shanchang, why are you covering your face like a woman? Are you so shy?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Shanchang's strange behavior and asked in confusion, "We asked you to take your hands off!"

"Yes." Li Shanchang took the order and took down his covering hand.

Um?!?
When everyone saw Li Shanchang's true face, their eyes widened. It turned out that one of Li Shanchang's eyes was black and purple, obviously he had been punched.

"What's going on with Li Shanchang?!" (End of this chapter)
