Chapter three hundred and seventy-ninth life is hard to find
Zhu Biao said a lot sincerely, hoping that his father would stop thinking about Hongze Lake. Although Feng Shui and dragons are important, the lives of the people along the river cannot be ignored.
Zhu Yuanzhang still listened to his prince's words. After all, he was his appointed heir, and the Zhu family's country and country would eventually be handed over to him.
At this time, Han Zheng and Liu Ying came to ask for an audience. Zhu Biao stood up and stood aside. The two fell to their knees as soon as they entered the room. Han Zheng was the first to say: "Report to Your Majesty, Liu Chun and other prisoners have all been punished, and I have come to return."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We understand. You immediately lead people to search those officials in Huaiqing Mansion who have solid evidence. No property, money or food should be left behind. We are going to send it to Shaanxi and Gansu for disaster relief."
Han Zheng took the order and left. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Ying who was kneeling in tears and sighed. He stood up and helped him up personally and said: "You should take this as a warning. You must abide by the laws of the court in your future actions. Your father has something to do with us."
We all remember your great kindness, we told you in the early years that you will enjoy wealth and prosperity, and this will not change even now."
Liu Ying choked up and said: "I remember the words of the Holy One in my heart day and night. I know that my qualifications are mediocre and I only want to guard the lintel, but I have forgotten that there is Liu Chun, an evil beast. Now, although the Holy One is following the laws of the country,
He was severely punished, but the Liu family was not held accountable. How could I accept such a great grace?"
Zhu Biao spoke next to him: "Father, my father told me a few days ago that we must treat the blood of Marquis Yihui kindly in the future. I also agreed, but we must guard our wealth and remember the Zhu family."
Only those who are good to the Liu family can follow them well, and the order of succession should be kept in mind by Marquis Yihui."
"I understand that I will strictly discipline my children in the future. If I succeed in civil and military affairs, I will repay the emperor's favor. If I fail in civil and military affairs, I will enjoy wealth and wealth in my hometown. I will never let them do evil and make things difficult for His Highness!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily, and then ordered Haosheng to collect Liu Chun's body. If he wanted to transport it back to his hometown in Fengyang, he could also borrow the fast horse from the post station.
Liu Ying thanked him profusely, but in the end he refused, saying that Liu Chun had been removed from his family tree and was naturally not qualified to be buried in his ancestral grave. He would find a place to be buried near Huaiqing.
Zhu Biao on the side also nodded with satisfaction. If Liu Chun was finally transported back to Fengyang and buried next to Liu Jizu, it would be a great irony to the Zhu family. It is indeed good for Liu Ying to be so sensible.
After Liu Ying resigned, the father and son continued to talk about the previous topic for a while. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that his son's worries were unfounded, he could not defeat him in the end and had to agree.
Neither of them had much appetite at noon, so they ate a few hasty bites and then went back to their rooms to rest. They would handle official business together in the afternoon. No matter how powerful the Zhongshu Province was, there were many military and state affairs that they did not dare to take charge of. They must go through the emperor.
It can only be implemented by looking at it.
Back in the room, Zhu Biao took a shower first. Even though he was not splashed with blood, he still felt a little dirty after all, so he simply took a shower, which happened to be cooler.
After washing, I felt refreshed and prepared to go to bed to rest for a while. I saw Zhao Huai'an walking in and reporting: "Sir, Wang Shijian, the imperial envoy from the imperial censor, has asked to see you. Do you think you should send him away?"
Zhu Biao's expression changed. Wang Shijian could not escape the crime of corruption and cover-up. The prefect of Huaiqing had recruited him a long time ago. It was just because he had just captured Liu Chun. If he was accused of corruption at this time, he would inevitably be betrayed.
People all over the world thought that the Zhu family was seeking revenge for Liu Chun.
The rest of the imperial envoys who patrolled various places would inevitably feel sad. After all, who could prove the facts? Whether Wang Shijian was guilty or not was not a matter of the emperor's word. He could only refuse to confess under torture.
Therefore, the father and son tacitly ignored this person. Of course, they did not let him go. After the incident was over, they would let the pro-military governor's office investigate Wang Shijian's background. They would always be able to catch him.
Naturally, the punishment will not be stingy when the time comes.
"Call in."
Zhu Biao wanted to see what this person was going to do. Was he here to plead guilty? Or did he want to find out more while the prince was still young?
After a while, Wang Shijian, wearing imperial robes, walked in, and immediately hit his head hard on the ground. Zhao Huaian, who was so frightened, subconsciously covered his forehead. He had hit him like this before.
"The guilty minister Wang Shijian pays homage to His Royal Highness, Your Highness Qianqiu!"
Seeing his posture, Zhu Biao understood. The old god knocked on the table and smiled: "What crime did Wang Qinqi commit? You might as well tell him. If it is a trivial matter because you are not afraid of the power to impeach Liu Chunfen, I will
The palace will also intercede for you in front of the father."
Wang Shijian made a sudden move. He couldn't sleep day and night for the past two days. After thinking about it, he decided that the prefect of Huaiqing would never conceal his crimes. If he waited until the Holy Emperor settled the accounts in autumn, there would definitely be no chance of survival. He might as well take advantage of His Highness the Crown Prince's presence.
See if you can find a way to survive.
But what His Highness the Crown Prince means is that the prefect of Huaiqing really didn't confess him. It shouldn't be. The two of them just have a common interest relationship. In the face of the torture of the pro-military Duwei Mansion, they can tell the scandals about their own father and mother. What's more,
Stop talking about him.
How about changing your story quickly and saying that you came to plead guilty because the Liu Chun case made it difficult for the royal family?
No, no, not to mention that now that things have happened, if he changes his mind, he will really be doomed. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince may not be teasing him.
Wang Shijian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then he said hoarsely: "The guilty minister took a thousand and two hundred silver from the Huaiqing Prefecture to cover up the crimes of Huaiqing Prefecture, Tongzhi and others who violated laws and disciplines."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Shijian took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and held it in his hand: "After seeing the beauty of His Majesty and His Highness, the guilty minister was in panic all day and couldn't sleep at night. Now that the guilty minister is aware of his guilt, he is willing to hand over the stolen money.
In this way, I request Your Highness to be lenient on the basis of the guilty plea, and the guilty person bows to Your Highness!"
Zhao Huai'an looked at Zhu Biao's face, then took the banknote from Wang Shijian who was kneeling on the ground, and was about to send it to His Highness, when he saw His Highness casually picked up the tea cup and threw it hard on Wang Shijian's shoulder.
Snapped!
After the tea cup hit someone, it bounced up and fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. Wang Shijian screamed, but immediately closed his mouth in fear and kowtowed fiercely: "Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, please calm down. Don't worry about it."
The guilty minister is angry."
Zhu Biao sneered and said: "Why are you so angry? The prefect of Huaiqing has long confessed your crime, and I have not just found out about it. What I am dissatisfied about is that since you said you would hand over all the stolen money, why only a thousand taels?"
Wang Shijian's complexion suddenly turned livid. The prefect of Huaiqing had indeed confessed to him. His Royal Highness the Prince knew about it, so the Holy One must also know about it. According to His Majesty's temper, it was only because of His Majesty's grace that he could be cut in half in the future.
Wang Shijian's mind was spinning, but no matter what he thought, it would be a dead end. He said sadly: "Your Highness, the guilty minister dare not hide anything anymore. The guilty ministers in the previous states also collected some treasures, but they all let
