Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, who had been guarding Zhu Di for a long time, quickly brought a cup of sobering tea and handed it to Zhu Di.
"Thank you girl!"
After a few sips, Zhu Di suddenly felt much better.
Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly, and then said with some concern: "In the future, when His Highness wants to go to that Magistrate Guo to drink again, please bring more guards!"
"It's my fault for making this girl worry. However, the food cooked by that boy tastes good, and sitting with him and drinking wine are also refreshing.
It’s strange to say that that boy has a thick face and a dark heart, and he is nothing like the former Yuan Dynasty Guo Taishi, but he is very popular with me!"
Zhu Di chuckled and apologized to Xu Miaoyun.
Suddenly, Zhu Di remembered something and quickly asked again: "By the way, sister, has the palace not sent a cook to learn cooking skills from the cook in that kid's house?"
"Your Highness, is it inappropriate to ask the chef in the palace of Prince Yan to learn cooking skills from a cook in a small magistrate's home?" Xu Miaoyun said.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Di's face turned solemn, "But someone is gossiping in front of you? The food prepared by so many chefs in the palace of the prince is not as good as that of the cook in a small magistrate's home, and they don't even feel ashamed?"
"Moreover, if I, the majestic King of Yan, want to eat something good, I have to rush to a magistrate's house. This is the shame of these chefs!"
"Your Highness has misunderstood. No one is gossiping in front of me!" Xu Miaoyun said quickly.
Zhu Di waved it off directly and said: "In that case, the girl will choose two cooks to find Li Wang or Zhu Liang, and ask them to take them to Guo An's house to learn the cooking skills from that cook!
When the girl takes a bite, her appetite will definitely be whetted, and her body may recover faster!"
For such a trivial matter, since Zhu Di made such a request, Xu Miaoyun did not object too much, "Yes, Your Highness!"
"Haha, when the chef comes back, my sister will know how delicious the food in Guo An's house is! I see, Guo Taishi studied astronomy and water conservancy and was a great sage of the generation, but Guo An, this descendant, is not living up to expectations. He spends all day
They’re all studying eating!”
Zhu Di was in a good mood and couldn't help but start complaining about Guo An again.
"Then Guo Zhixian's cooking skills are worthy of His Highness's praise. I am a little curious!" Xu Miaoyun agreed.
"Don't worry, sister, I will never let you down!"
Zhu Di replied happily.
Then, taking advantage of the excitement, he talked with Xu Miaoyun about Guo An for a while, and then walked to the front hall.
In the past few days, with the thief official Guo An around, the affairs of King Yan have become more complicated.
Especially the more than twenty traitorous officials who dared to unite and covet the money of King Yan.
When Zhu Di arrived at Cunxin Hall, Yan Wang Changshi Zhu Fu, He Zhong, Li Wang, Zhu Liang and others were already waiting inside.
"I am here to meet you, Your Highness!"
"I will see you at last, Your Highness!"
"Everyone, please get up!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly and walked straight to the throne.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After getting up, He Zhong quickly handed the account book in his hand to Zhu Di.
"Your Highness, this is the property that I and Li Baihu took from the homes of those traitors this time."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly opened it and started reading.
"These traitors!"
After reading it, Zhu Di's eyes widened and he couldn't help but burst into anger.
"I have only ruled Beiping for a few years, and these traitors have managed to accumulate such a rich fortune. How much of my family have they stolen from me?"
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. Wei Chen and others can't believe the property in the homes of these traitorous officials!" He Zhong replied quickly.
"Have you all found out the source of the property in the homes of these traitorous officials?" Zhu Di asked again.
"Back to Your Highness, everything has been interrogated. Some of the property was obtained through corruption by those traitorous ministers, and some of the property was given by some merchants..."
He Zhongxi explained carefully.
"Okay, what a bunch of thieves, who all want to bite me a few times?"
After listening, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly turned red and his whole body trembled.
"All merchants who dare to bribe my officials in the Palace of Yan will not be spared!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, no one can escape!"
He Zhong also gnashed his teeth in hatred towards those daring merchants.
On the throne, Zhu Di looked at the account book in his hand with a cold expression on his face, "Twenty-two thousand taels of silver, two thousand acres of land deeds, and five shops. These traitorous ministers really dare to attack, and they are not afraid of killing them if they are greedy for so much.
Every one of them is ungrateful, no better than a pig or a dog, and should be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!"
"Zhu Changshi!"
"Wei Chen is here!"
Zhu Fu quickly saluted and responded.
Zhu Di said coldly: "Except for those few who took the initiative to surrender to the king, the rest of the thieves all acted in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I obey the king's order!"
Zhu Fu responded quickly.
At the same time, I was extremely angry at those corrupt officials.
It was difficult for him to be the chief historian of the palace, and he was offended by both sides.
Now, these officials who spoke of him actually committed corruption and bribery without telling him, and refused to tell anyone about it. If this matter reaches Yingtian City, he, a long-time official, will definitely be reprimanded by the court.
They deserve to be cut into pieces and stripped of their skins!
"I'm going to summon the ambassador, review the officials, and deal with this matter!"
With that said, Zhu Fu resigned to Zhu Di.
"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to do!" Zhu Di called to Zhu Fu.
"I wonder what else your Majesty has to do?" Zhu Fu asked with some confusion.
However, before Zhu Di could speak, a guard hurriedly walked in outside the palace and reported loudly: "Your Highness, Yanshan Guard Commander Tang Yun is asking to see you!"
"Let it in!"
"yes!"
As the guards exited, Zhu Fu, Zhu Liang, He Zhong and others in the palace all looked surprised.
Tang Yun, the commander of the guards of King Yan, as the commander of the three guards of Yanshan, rarely comes to the palace unless there are special circumstances.
Why are you here today? Could it be that something big happened?
Among the people, Zhu Fu was the most worried.
Soon, a burly general wearing armor walked in from outside the palace.
"The last general, King Yan, is the commander of the guards, Tang Yun, to see His Highness!"
"Tang Qing, please get up!"
Zhu Di said with a gentle expression.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Tang Yun stood up, he looked at Zhu Di with doubts on his face.
"I wonder if your highness has summoned the general, but what is the fight about?"
Zhu Fu, He Zhong and others also quickly looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di smiled softly, "That's a good thing!"
"Good thing?"
Tang Yun, Zhu Fu and others all looked puzzled.
"Since I was made a prince by my father, I have fought many battles with King Kaiping and King Zhongshan. I don't know how many personal guards and generals under my command have been injured and disabled in order to protect them, and they have to be disarmed and return to the fields!
And in order to destroy the Beiyuan Dynasty, how many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were disabled in the war. Even if they returned to Peiping, their hands and feet were disabled and they were unable to cultivate the fields and lived in poverty!
I decided to select several hills near Beiping Mansion, buy thousands of acres of fertile land, and build a farm for these disabled veterans..."
Zhu Di explained to Tang Yun, Zhu Fu and others what Guo An told him last night!
