The imperial prison is located in Guaizi Hutong in Jinling. The first half of the alley is the East Factory and the second half is the West Factory. There is also the Jinyiwei Command Department nearby.
Zhu Youde's emperor's carriage arrived directly at the gate of the imperial prison. The guard guarding the gate was so frightened that he almost peed. Why did the emperor come to the imperial prison?
The soldiers rushed to report!
After a while, Cao Wang ran over with cold sweat on his head. When he heard that the emperor was coming, Cao Wang couldn't believe it at all!
Why did Your Majesty come to jail?
Is this a place like Imperial Prison that Your Majesty should come to?
Why didn't Wang Zhonghou stop him?
If he hadn't believed that his men wouldn't dare to lie to him, he wouldn't have planned to come.
At the prison gate, Zhu Youde is picking up paint!
Wang Zhonghou on the other side was also speechless. The emperor’s hobbies were really special!
Cao Wang quickly knelt down and said: "I am guilty of death. I did not know that Your Majesty was coming, and I was late to pick you up. Please punish me!"
In the feudal era, the terror of imperial power was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Zhu Youde waved his hands calmly and calmly. Cao Wang stood up quickly, lowered his head and stood behind Zhu Youde. "Why is your majesty here in prison?"
Do I need to apply to come to prison?
Zhu Youde spoke lazily, and Wang Zhonghou immediately gave Cao Wang a look: Do you know your identity?
Suddenly Cao Wang's cold sweat appeared again.
Zhu Youde said: "How about Li Mingzhou?"
Cao Wang hurriedly said: "It's very quiet. Since entering the imperial prison, I have read a few books and it is not noisy!"
"Are you still in the mood to study?" Zhu Youde smiled and said, "You seem to be very calm!"
Cao Wang's eyes turned fierce: "Your Majesty, why don't you go give him some color?"
Wang Zhong said kindly: "Governor Cao should not interfere too much with the affairs of scholars. Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor, how can you not tolerate a few books?"
Cao Wang was stunned and nodded, and Zhu Youde entered the prison lobby. He wanted to go and have a look inside the prison, but then he thought he was the emperor!
Going to the prison to see Li Mingzhou in person would be too embarrassing for Li Mingzhou!
Zhu Youde was waiting in the lobby, and after a while, Cao Wang appeared with Li Mingzhou.
"The common people have seen your Majesty!" Li Mingzhou knelt down and looked at Zhu Youde, his face calm and his eyes steady!
Zhu Youde nodded: "There are scholars who have the integrity to remain calm despite the collapse of the previous ones. They are worthy of being the most popular scholar in this department."
"Is Your Majesty here to kill me?" Li Mingzhou said calmly, he was ready to die!
After all, he was scolding Zhu Youde in front of all the ministers.
Zhu Youde glanced at this guy and looked up at the roof of the lobby: "Cao Wang!"
"I'm here!"
Zhu Youde said: "Your yamen is a bit poor. Does Dongchang have no money?"
Dongchang will not be without money!
In fact, Dongchang has the power to arrest people, and the ones they arrest are corrupt officials. There is a lot of gray income in this process.
The families of those corrupt officials were willing to pay and bribe Cao Wang just to see their families.
Cao Wang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty thinks that my lobby is not grand enough. I will find someone to repair it when I get back!"
"The imperial prison is a royal prison. You have to be willing to spend money, but you must also know how to generate income when you spend money!" Zhu Youde said lightly: "Without hundreds of thousands of silver entering your account a year, how dare you say that you are a royal imperial prison?"
Cao Wang widened his eyes to see what Zhu Youde meant!
Wang Zhonghou looked over fiercely!
Is the emperor someone you can keep an eye on?
Cao Wang quickly lowered his head: "Your Majesty's teachings, I will keep them in mind!"
"Let's go back and set up a workshop. Go to Shang Fang Mansion and buy some textile machines. The prisoners here will also be rehabilitated through labor!"
"yes!"
After Zhu Youde finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingzhou. He did it on purpose!
Do you want to pretend to be content with death?
The bad habits of scholars must not be tolerated.
"Li Mingzhou, do you think you know Daliang better than me and how to govern the country?" Zhu Youde said.
Li Mingzhou was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Youde to ask this!
After thinking for a while, he said: "The common people dare not, but your majesty suddenly raised taxes, and the people were in dire straits, and their families were ruined in a short time. If your majesty raised taxes in the court by one penny, the local officials dared to raise taxes by ten pence, and your majesty's palace was full of fields, but
But the people don’t even have their own homes!”
"His Majesty!"
Li Mingzhou looked so excited that he almost stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can regard the people of Daliang as your own subjects. The common people are not fish and meat, and your Majesty is not just a swordsman!"
"Asshole!"
Before Zhu Youde could say anything, Wang Zhonghou said angrily: "You dare to say such things, Li Mingzhou, you are seeking death."
Cao Wang was about to make a move. He waited for Zhu Youde's look and planned to hack Li Mingzhou to death.
This guy is so rebellious in front of His Majesty, what are you waiting for if you don't die?
This time, Cao Wang decided to cut it himself.
"Who told you to speak!" Zhu Youde looked back at Wang Zhonghou.
Cao Wang's hand had already been placed on the handle of the knife, and his body suddenly froze.
Wang Zhonghou was actually scolded by His Majesty!
hiss!
It seems that Li Mingzhou will not die for a while!
Wang Zhonghou said quickly: "I am wrong!"
Zhu Youde turned back to look at Li Mingzhou: "Okay, since you care about the people wholeheartedly, how dare you to ask me to be the county magistrate?"
"I'm not afraid of death, let alone the county magistrate!" Li Mingzhou said: "Your Majesty, do you dare to let me be an official?"
Zhu Youde laughed loudly: "Then you go to Huating, go see and do things, and see whether I am harming the people or saving them. Facts speak louder than words."
Li Mingzhou looked at Zhu Youde thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and said with cupped hands: "I respect the decree, may I ask Your Majesty which saint said that facts are better than eloquence?"
"I!"
Li Mingzhou was immediately speechless!
Zhu Youde left after saying this. This person can be used and can be regarded as a pawn in his layout for the southeast.
The carriage is on its way back to the palace!
Suddenly the convoy stopped for a moment, and the chaos outside was heard. The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were shouting irritably!
Wang Zhonghou was originally squinting his eyes next to Zhu Youde, as if he was asleep, but when he heard the noise outside, he immediately burst out with energy like a leopard, his eyes were extremely lively, and his energy blew up his clothes like a balloon!
"Escort!"
Wang Zhonghou immediately sat in front of Zhu Youde! "What's going on?"
At this time, Yulin General Zhou Heng said outside the carriage: "Your Majesty, Superintendent Wang is fine. A group of students blocked the carriage and have been captured by me!"
Wang Zhonghou turned around, and Zhu Youde was very interested: "Students are stopping you? They scold me every day, but now they plan to point their fingers at me and scold me in front of me?"
Naturally, Wang Zhonghou and Zhou Heng did not dare to say more. Zhu Youde said, "Ask, what's going on?"
After waiting for a while, Zhou Heng came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the students are here for Tang Boyong!"
Zhu Youde was speechless. After listening to Zhou Heng's words, he immediately became angry!
Tang Boyong was from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Does he need you Daliang students to worry so much?
After Liang Zan came back, Tang Boyong naturally followed him into Jinling, but he was a foreigner and was managed by Honglu Temple!
But Liang Zan, the boss of Honglu Temple, went to Tianlao for vacation. Without his words, the people below would not dare to let Tang Boyong walk around casually!
It was like putting this great talent of the Southern Tang Dynasty under house arrest, but the local students and wealthy families were worried!
For such a big star to be imprisoned by the emperor, this is an insult to literati and disrespectful to scholars all over the world!
Zhu Youde left the palace today, but his carriages and horses were complete. Soon the students knew that the emperor had left the palace, and they immediately felt sorry for Tang Boyong.
"Get them all spanked!" Zhu Youde was so angry that he gave the order simply and rudely!
