Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 37
East Palace.

Li Shanchang rushed over with all the civil servants, he turned around and looked at the civil servants behind him and said: "You have to talk to me when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, the next official will protect him with death." The civil official next to him said.

Hu Peng shrank his neck and slipped behind the crowd.

Jin'er and Yu'er came to the door politely, Yu'er smiled and said, "Prime Minister Li."

"Miss Jin'er, Miss Yu'er, both of you, please go in and report, just say that I have something urgent to find His Highness."

Yu'er stepped aside and said, "Your Highness asked us to wait here for Prime Minister Li. Prime Minister Li, please follow me."

Li Shanchang was about to step into the door, when he heard this, he raised his head in doubt, pointed back at himself and asked, "Just...just me in?"

Jin'er, a clever ghost, blinked, stretched out his head and said with a smile to the officials who came behind: "The prince said that all the adults who came can go in."

Yu'er added: "Your Highness said that he is waiting in the East Palace today, and he would like to see who is here, so he can recognize them and be familiar with them. Our East Palace is a big place, please, my lords."

Li Shanchang glanced around, pursed his mouth, turned around and said to the civil servants behind him, "Well... you all—let me in. Come in, come in."

After speaking, he entered the door.

Hu Peng shouted at the door: "I didn't hear what Prime Minister Li said just now, all go in, all go in."

Hearing that His Royal Highness wanted to see who was coming, those civil servants who were following along were not calm, and stood on the steps of the East Palace very hesitantly: "Everyone go in? This..."

"You have to go in anyway..."

Hu Peng shouted loudly: "My lords, hurry up and go in."

But his legs started to retreat, and he slipped behind the crowd.

Seeing that Li Shanchang didn't look back, several civil servants next to him turned around and retreated down the steps. They exchanged glances with Hu Peng and wanted to leave.

"Stop, hey, isn't this Hu Weiyong's Lord Hu's son, since you're here, come in and sit down.

Mr. Sun, Jiang Shilang, you are all here, come in too. His Royal Highness has prepared wine and food for you. "

After Mu Ying finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked the soldiers behind her to forcefully invite them into the East Palace.

Seeing that it was Mu Ying coming, these Huaixi civil servants couldn't say anything, so they followed in with their heads lowered and sighing.

Zhu Biaoduan sat in the courtyard of the East Palace, waiting quietly for everyone.

Li Shanchang led seven or eight civil servants to bow their heads, saw Zhu Biao sitting in the middle of the courtyard and said:

"Veteran Li Shanchang, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." All the civil servants followed suit.

"Prime Minister Li, don't be too polite."

"The old minister thanked His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao got up and sorted out the chemical elements written on the table. They were all written in small squares, and he tidied them up slowly.

After almost half a stick of incense, the big stone table was cleared away, and Zhu Biao raised his head and said to the crowd: "There are too many people complaining of grievances here, let's sit outside, sit."

Li Shanchang bowed his waist and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is above, how dare the old minister sit with His Highness."

"Why don't you dare, Prime Minister Li is someone who is responsible for important matters other than his father, come on." Zhu Biao picked a stone bench and poured a cup of tea slowly.

Li Shanchang didn't move, he still stood there.

"Mr. Song, I just want to test your Arabic numerals." Zhu Biao turned around and shouted to Song Lian who was teaching chemical elements and Arabic numerals in the attic.

"Your Highness, please take the exam." Old Man Song smiled openly.

"Count up our East Palace, how many ministers have come here today." Zhu Biao said kindly to everyone: "Let Mr. Song count, so that we can prepare wine and food for everyone."

Song Lian came out and counted according to what Zhu Biao taught before: "1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9..."

"No, Yu'er and the others counted twenty just now, but you only counted nine, sir."

Zhu Biao knew in his heart that there must be a few guys who followed the wind and didn't come, but it didn't matter, Mu Ying went to invite them.

Li Shanchang heard that a few people were missing, turned his head and squinted his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Prime Minister Li, I asked General Mu to invite the lost ones." Zhu Biao sighed softly, and asked Mu Ying to bring Hu Peng and the others to the stone table.

By the way, the girl who was snatched by Li Bin and their parents came out, Shen Qiancheng and Shen Zhifu stood at the front, and Gao Qi also stood beside him.

"My lords, do you know why I invite the common people into the palace?" Zhu Biao stood up and helped Li Shanchang up, beckoning him to sit down.

"Hmm...Your Highness, the old minister just wanted to ask His Highness." Li Shanchang stood up from the stone table again.

"My lords, because it is not raining, my father went out of the palace to find Master Bifeng to pray for rain.

Guess what, it may be that the common people have innocent grievances.So God punished Daming, and I am apologizing to those who suffered and wronged on behalf of the Ming court.

The important ministers of our Ming Dynasty fell in love with the hearts of their parents, and the people forcibly seized them if they refused.Li Bin claimed that if they did not marry their daughters, they would be exiled to the frontier with the crime of offending the emperor's concubine selection. They are the most ordinary people and have nowhere to live.

Gu, I'm really ashamed of the Ming Dynasty. As parents and officials, don't you feel ashamed at all? "

Zhu Biao deliberately added to Li Bin the crime of choosing the concubine for Lao Zhu to prevaricate Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang had nothing to say, nodded frequently and said: "I feel ashamed."

Zhu Biao looked at the dozen or so families and said solemnly: "You are all lonely people, so today you can say a few words from your heart alone.

Prime Minister Li standing here, Mr. Li is the number one hero in the founding of our Ming Dynasty and the head of all officials. Prime Minister Li and Li Bin are still relatives of our family.

But just yesterday, Prime Minister Li killed his relatives righteously in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and enforced the law like a mountain. Today at [-]:[-] noon, Li Binwen was beheaded at Caishikou of Xuanwu Lake. Come over quickly and thank Prime Minister Li. "

Shen Qiancheng and the others turned around and said to Li Shanchang: "The grassroots thank you, Prime Minister, for enforcing the law impartially and eliminating harm for the people."

Li Shanchang panted heavily, and said to Shen Qiancheng and the others: "Don't...don't, don't...don't thank me, if you want to thank, all of you should thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for eliminating harm for the people."

Zhu Biao asked Li Shanchang and the others to stay and eat together.

After being declined, Zhu Biao pretended to sigh and said, "It seems that I can't treat you adults to dinner, I'm sorry."

Li Shan grew out of the East Palace, and Hu Peng came running from behind to follow him: "Uncle Li."

"Get out, get out of here." Li Shanchang left all the officials in a huff.

Zhu Biao appeased the people, left the blood books of more than a dozen households, and sent them to escort them away.

Shen Qiancheng said: "Your Highness, please allow me, Shen Qiancheng, to contribute to His Highness regarding the matter of Yangzhou."

Did Shen know that he looked up at Zhu Biao, saluted him and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life."

Zhu Biao didn't agree or refute him.

This time when I came back from Yangzhou, I also wanted to use Li Bin's incident to reform the system, beat and beat Huaixi civil servants for forming cliques, and help the people get rid of this great harm.
