Chapter 210 Can’t figure it out (2)

"What's under your arm?"

Zhu Gaochi and Li Jinglong walked outwards with their feet in front and behind.

After leaving the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help it and asked.

Li Jinglong smiled slightly, "Ah... I want to build a hot spring garden at home. I'm here to ask Long Live to correct me!"

"Is your family going to build it, or is it your old boy who flatters you for the son!"

Zhu Gaochi complained in his heart, but smiled and said, "Duke Cao is such a big deal, and a villa covers an area of ​​300 acres! Tsk, the style used is still the style of the palace in the previous dynasty..."

Li Jinglong was slightly surprised, "Where did you see that it was the style of the palace in the previous dynasty?"

"This drawing!" Zhu Gaochi raised his head, "It is the hunting ground where I played in Peking since I was a child, right?"

Li Jinglong was stunned and thought to himself that you were so fat, your eyes were good!

The next second he suddenly whispered, "Criminal, what is the royal garden where you are talking about... Even the previous dynasty was the emperor garden. Have you been playing there since you were young?"

As he said that, he shook his head and said, "When King Yan was guarding Beiping, his palace city was only part of the former Yuan Imperial City, but he was not given all of it!"

Then, he whispered again, "I tell you that although this is an old thing, the King of Yan has now become Prince Yongyi... I believe you also know that the Censors might start to turn over the account one day if they are full...."

Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly looked ugly.

When his father was the King of Yan, the entire Beiping City wanted to belong to their family. Not to mention the hunting grounds of the previous emperors, or the palaces of the previous emperors, they were all the back gardens of his family.

Besides, the old man was there at that time, who would dare to tell the old man bad things about his son?

But now is different from the past. The fief is gone and the old man is gone. The men of the Zhu family are all going to be human with their tails in their hands!

Now that emperor would not cause trouble for their men because of the old and dirty things.

But Li Jinglong's words are really disgusting!

There are many ears and eyes in front of the Ganqing Palace, and their behavior will inevitably fall into the eyes of those who are interested. They will also be transmitted to the outside through the mouths of these people.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi suddenly caught a glimpse of the Minister of Revenue Zhang Jue Hou Yong, Minister of Personnel, Minister of War Ru Wei, Minister of Tongzheng Xin Yande, Censor Yan Zhenzhi and others walked towards the Ganqing Palace.

"Just see them just now?" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "Just have something to do, and I deliberately don't know?"

Li Jinglong also saw the group of people next to him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt a little gloating, "You take a photo, remember to take a photo! No matter how good you take, you don't have to do everything without you!"

Then, Zhu Gaochi said, "Duke Cao, I will say goodbye first, I will see you outside the city tomorrow!"

The Ganqing Palace, the meeting of the monarch and ministers.

Zhu Yunxiu sat on the throne and looked at everyone and said, "How many years have you been in office in Guangdong Chengxuan? "

Everyone was suddenly summoned by the emperor, and they were still wondering why they came, but they didn't expect the emperor to go straight to the point.

"Returning to the emperor, Qi Zhuo has been appointed as the Minister of Political Affairs for four years and six months..." Hou Yong, Minister of Personnel, stood up and said.

"I have looked at the assessment archives of the Ministry of Personnel!" Zhu Yunxiu looked down at the memorial in his hand, "He has a good reputation in the local area and has made great achievements, right?"

The ministers were silent for a while, but they were thinking quickly in their hearts.

What does the emperor mean?

The provincial governor is a chief official. The emperor must know more than anyone else about how an official this person is. Why are he still asking about them now?

Moreover, he also looked like the emperor didn't know much about this person?

"Yes!" Hou Yong was the Minister of Personnel and said, "Qi Zhu did do a lot of good things to the Guangdong Province during his tenure, and built bridges, roads and construction of official schools..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yunxiu said again, "Who recommended it at that time?"

Everyone was stunned again!

Can the provincial governor’s envoy be recommended?

When the man who should have been to Beijing as a minister, he gave up his seat to yours and went to Guangdong. Did you forget it now?

But the Right Censor seemed to hear what the emperor meant.

Yan Zhen said straight, "I still remember that the reason why Qi Zhu was chosen as the governor of Guangdong was because his father-in-law, the late old minister of the Hongwu Dynasty, Xu Ben, also served as the governor of Guangdong..."

Xu Ben, this man Zhu Yunsheng knows!

At that time, Daotong, the magistrate of Panyu, was killed by the grandson of Zhu Liang, the grandson of Yongjia, and this person wrote a letter to the old man and expressed his grievances.

Although Yongjia Hou deserves to die, his memorials are also the reason why Yongjia Hou and his son were later beaten to death by the old man.

"Ha!" Hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu smiled in his heart, "There is a uncle from the sea merchant and a founding minister. He was the father-in-law of the Guangdong Provincial Governor! Well, Li Zhigang has met his opponent this time!"

"I have some impression of this Qi!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "A Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu, he has always had a good reputation in his official career. He has never been impeached for so many years..."

As he said that, he changed his voice, "But in the morning I received a memorandum of Guangdong's governor Qi, embezzled taxes, and instructed his disciples to collude with merchants and monopolize business businesses..."

All the ministers remained silent and pondered in their hearts.

The emperor said that someone had submitted a memorandum to impeach, so it must be that someone had submitted a memorandum.

But this is not a big deal!

Even if a provincial chief official is impeached, it is normal. He said he is illegal and corrupt, so he just sent someone to investigate.

If there is evidence, then deal with it. If there is no evidence, then let him continue to be an official!

Why did you summon your ministers alone and come up with them to say something?

Besides, Guangdong is a place where people are peaceful.

Now the new policy is in full swing in Jiangnan, which makes everyone worried. Why did it bring Guangdong out again?

"Although someone impeached it, it involves a provincial chief official!" Zhu Yunxiu said again, "The beloved minister of the throne has gone to Hangzhou, this case... Ministry of Personnel!"

Hou Yong hurriedly said, "I am here!"

"Let's take a look at the impeachment clause for now, and then draw a charter for me!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Suddenly, Hou Yong's mind was covered in mud.

The emperor asked him to do it, but did not ask him to investigate, but said he would draft a charter?

What charter?

Is this strange everywhere?

Hou Yong took over the article impeaching Qi Zhu, opened it and saw the signature...

Chen Dewen, Guangdong Ship Taxation Department envoy.

"This man was originally the prefect of Yingtian! He was sent to Guangdong after committing a crime!" Hou Yong said in his heart,

"It is also one of the old ministers that the emperor trusted when he was in the Eastern Palace!"

"The emperor wants Chen Dewen to serve as the Guangdong Provincial Governor? Then there is no need to be such trouble?"

The more he thought about it, the more he was confused.

"The annual customs tariffs in Guangdong Province alone cost more than three million yuan in cash surplus... This is still the case when the sea is fully opened!"

"It is said that the emperor intends to build four ports in Guangzhou..."

Hou Yong's mind was in a mess, and Yu Guang made an inadvertent stroke.

Suddenly, he found that Zhang Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had a bad expression in front of him.

He suddenly remembered something.

The late Xu Ben, Qi Zhu's father-in-law, seems to have a close relationship with Zhang Shangshu?

Then, Hou Yong continued to think in his heart, "Since Zhang Ju became the Minister of Revenue, the taxes in Guangdong Province have exceeded the amount every year, and they are escorted to the capital in advance..."

"As early as Emperor Taizu Gao, Taixia was the only one in Jiangnan. Since the emperor set up the Ship Tax Division in Guangdong Province and Zhang Jue as the Minister of Shang, in just a few years, Guangdong Province has been able to compete with Zhejiang!"
