Chapter 13 A Gift for Zhu Gaochi

Chapter 13 A great gift for Zhu Gaochi

Hearing Qiu Fu say that military discipline is strict, even Zhu Di wanted to laugh.

I'm not Zhu Yunwen's child who grew up in the palace and charged into battle. I'm only a lot better than you Qiu Fu. I know very well what's going on in the army.

Although Zhu Di tried his best to restrain his subordinates and did not allow them to disturb the people or burn, kill or loot, after all, his troops were not Yue's army. They fought hard for four years and fought hard with their heads high. If you don't give them some benefits, what will happen to these people if they seek refuge with Zhu Yunwen?

Moreover, Zhu Di also had many Mongolian cavalrymen who were from the Duoyan Three Guards, and their discipline was even more difficult to describe.

So after seeing these memorials, Zhu Di believed 80% of them.

But Qiu Fu refused to admit it.

"Your Majesty, Sheng Yong's defeated general was reluctant when he surrendered. Now he has other ambitions and wants to rebel. I think he should be thrown into death row immediately. Let's find out how many comrades he has.

, we must catch them all!" Qiu Fu added: "Your Majesty, I recommend Chen Ying, the imperial censor. This person is smart, capable and loyal, and he will definitely be able to investigate this case."

Zhu Di frowned slightly, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Go and call the General Secretary Xu Jingchang."

Not long after, Xu Jingchang was swaying around and breathing heavily. Zhu Di glanced at him and felt angry.

"What's the matter with you? I've already said that I have to fulfill my duties faithfully, why are you still not in high spirits?"

"I want a helper, someone who can handle things with me."

"Of course it's my eldest cousin."

Yao Guangxiao had a smile on his face. This boy was not only a rogue, but also loved money.

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened and he swallowed subconsciously, "Is this real gold?"

Xu Jingchang's eyes widened. The work was tiring to begin with, but you still don't get paid. Why do you use a stupid boy?

"Yes, it was rewarded by His Majesty."

Zhu Di snorted, "He was clamoring for sick leave just now! This kid is lazy and cunning, far less innocent and reliable than his father. Young Master, you have to keep an eye on him for me."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "It's not easy for you either. I want to ask you, in the memorial, the general was impeached for arresting a woman and entering the military camp. What do you think of this?"

As he spoke, Zhu Di took out a thick pile and placed it in front of Yao Guangxiao.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhu Di, even Qiu Fu was stunned. Could it be that I misunderstood? This kid is not that bad?

Zhu Di pondered for a while, then suddenly became angry, "You were negligent for a moment and handed over the memorandum. How can you still turn a blind eye and ignore it? This matter must be investigated to the end, and let Zheng Ci, the Minister of Punishment, Chen Ying, the imperial censor, and Wuzhong, the minister of Dali Temple,

, the Sanfa Division will review the case and find out the merits. Duke Qi, don’t worry, if there are any grievances, I will let the soldiers make the decision. As for General Secretary Xu Jingchang, the case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, but it was sent to the palace.

, you made an oversight, I will spare you three months of salary, please step down!"

Xu Jingchang's body was slightly shaken, but he quickly calmed down and said: "Young Master, you must be kind in everything you do. Your Majesty and you have pushed me to fight against the Jingnan upstarts led by Qiu Fu. This job is no less than in front of the battle.

Charge, go through life and death, just give me a Ruyi, the price is too low!"

Yao Guangxiao took over this Ruyi, which was exquisitely made and weighed two or three kilograms, with a smile on his face. Not to mention three months' salary, it was worth three years' salary.

The Ruyi in front of me is also hollowed out with gold wire. It is extremely exquisite and can definitely be used as a family heirloom.

"Your Majesty, I want to report my illness. I want to take a three-month leave of absence..."

Xu Jingchang said seriously: "No, the old man often said that illness comes like a mountain falling, and no one can hold it back. Illness goes away like a thread, and I don't know when it will be cured! Why don't you help me?

Call in sick."

Zhu Di thought for a while, stood up again, picked up a golden ruyi from the table next to him, and handed it to Yao Guangxiao.

The old monk said goodbye, took the carriage, and came to the Xu family again.

It was a fine Duan Inkstone, a large stone. If it was hit on the head, peach blossoms would bloom. Xu Jingchang did not dare to say anything, so he could only run away and escape from the place of right and wrong.

Xu Jingchang subconsciously said: "Is this for me?"

When he left, Qiu Fu was dumbfounded and could only retreat.

"Young Master is here... I'm sorry that Wan Sheng is ill and unable to salute."

With that said, Xu Jingchang lay upright on the bed and said, "I can't do it anymore. I'm getting more seriously ill. Please ask the young master to go back."

"This is what I gave to that boy. Young Master, please do the hard work for me!"

Xu Jingchang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. Now the General Administration Department is short of many officials, and there are many memorials and pamphlets from various places. I need to sort them out myself before sending them to the palace. I am so busy with my work now that I can't eat.

I can’t sleep, I’m really tired from this official job.”

The two men went down, and most of the anger on Zhu Di's face dissipated. An old monk came out from the side hall, it was Yao Guangxiao.

"Your Majesty's skill in conducting a joint trial of three divisions is really brilliant." Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "If the affairs of this world are not weighed on the scale, they will not weigh as much as three or two. If they are weighed on the scale, they will not weigh even a thousand kilograms!"

"Look, how does this medicine look like?"

Then Xu Jingchang looked up at his head, let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "Congratulations, you are finally not knocked down by money!"

Just when Xu Jingchang's hand was about to touch Ruyi, he suddenly retracted it.

Yao Guangxiao's nose was so angry that he was so angry that you still had the nerve to say that you were not knocked down by money. You thought you had too little money!

"Your Majesty relies on them to successfully suppress the crisis. You must not neglect these meritorious soldiers. The Jinyiwei is a good sword, but it cannot be abused. On the other hand, this young prince has brilliant methods and a bright future. He will surely become your Majesty's in the long run.

Arm femoral humerus.”

This kid Xu Jingchang is really lucky and has taken advantage of him.

Yao Guangxiao smiled, "Young Master, look at the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty, who has a stronger foundation than you? Who can carry it with you?"

Yao Guangxiao looked solemn, "Then what do you want?"

"Young Master, you also know my methods. I would like to advise you not to drink wine as a penalty."

Xu Jingchang's heartbeat was pounding. He remembered that in his previous life, he went to see Emperor Wanli's golden dragon-wing crown. It was a work of art. The craftsmanship of the goldsmiths of the Ming Dynasty was absolutely amazing.

With that said, Yao Guangxiao sat on the bedside and took out the golden ruyi from his sleeve.

Yao Guangxiao's face suddenly fell, and he coughed lightly: "Xu Tongzheng, your illness comes on really quickly!"

Zhu Di rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Young Master, this is the secret report Ji Gang handed me."

As soon as he came in, he found that everyone in the Xu family was busy. When he arrived at Xu Jingchang's residence, a strong smell of medicine came out. Xu Jingchang was covered with a quilt and his forehead was covered with a towel, and he coughed quietly from time to time.

Before Xu Jingchang could finish speaking, Zhu Di's eyes widened with anger, he grabbed the inkstone and was about to smash it at him.

Yao Guangxiao was startled, "Who else is there?"

The old monk didn't say much, he knew it well.

Xu Jingchang hurriedly sat up, not caring about being sick, and stretched out his hand to take it.

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You, Master Yao, are pretty good...but don't worry, I don't want to ask you to help me this time."

The old monk said: "Not only is it real gold, but it is also palace craftsmanship. Your Majesty asked me to give it to you. It will supplement your salary for three months. Is that enough?"

"Misunderstanding! Absolutely misunderstanding!" Xu Jingchang immediately denied it, "I heard that the soldiers are loyal and conscientious and would definitely not do such a thing. Someone must be dissatisfied and slanderous. I was too busy and neglected to investigate. Please punish me.

.”

Yao Guangxiao gritted his teeth. He suddenly felt that Zhu Di was being too polite when he said that Xu Jingchang was lazy and cunning. He was just a scoundrel!

"Xu Tongzheng, not all diseases are difficult to treat. I have a good remedy here."

"It's the eldest prince!" Yao Guangxiao was stunned again, because when Empress Xu met him a few days ago, she mentioned that he should be the eldest prince's master.

To put it bluntly, he was using Yao Guangxiao's ability to protect Zhu Gaochi.

Now Xu Jingchang brought it up again, which made Yao Guangxiao interested, "What are your plans?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "No matter what the outcome, we must get Sheng Yong under the command of the eldest cousin. In this way, they will have protection, and the eldest cousin will also have a foundation in the army, and will not have to be bullied by the King of Han everywhere. Young Master

What do you think, Master?"
