Chapter 766: Threats in the Court

"You don't have to worry about this matter. This is all arranged by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"After all, you have now entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. You will be able to share your Majesty's worries as soon as possible in the future. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing."

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very fond of Wang An, and with the help of Zhu Biao and Zhu Han, he also had a lot of love for Wang An.

Today, Wang An has become a leader among the new nobles of the imperial court.

After hearing Zhu Han's words, Wang An vowed secretly in his heart that he would repay him in the future.

"Since you have arrived at the palace today, I would like to ask you whether you have finished processing the account books in the Household Department a few days ago? Do you have any other concerns?"

Zhu Han walked towards the study as he spoke, with Ge Rong and Wang An following behind.

Wang An respectfully told Zhu Han the truth of the matter in front of Zhu Han.

In fact, they have already seen clearly some of the concerns in the imperial court.

If anyone dares to point fingers at this, they will naturally receive a lot of backlash.

Now it seems that Ying Tianfu still turns a blind eye to this kind of thing.

The most obvious one is that there is no tracking of the placement in the court and their last movements.

Especially after Wang An arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, he had become a thorn in others' eyes.

From beginning to end, he has shown that he can control a lot of worries.

Therefore, even if others want to point fingers at him, it will be impossible in the end.

Moreover, now that he has the protection of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao, Wang An's official career is going smoother and smoother.

When he looked at Zhu Han, he tried his best to discuss some of his experiences in the court with Zhu Han.

After all, many officials in the government are doing some shameful things secretly.

In the study room, Zhu Han asked Wang An and Ge Rong to sit across from him.

They have now analyzed the DPRK and China very clearly.

Especially Wang An.

In front of Zhu Han, he pointed out that the Minister of Civil Affairs and several other officials had actually begun to switch sides and did not support Zhu Biao as before.

"Although they are all promoted by the prince, they have secretly had a lot of contact with King Yan's people."

Wang An was talking about this list, and Zhu Han had remembered everything clearly.

He never pays attention to officials.

What they thought was that after a long time, these officials actually became more and more arrogant.

If I didn't want to investigate all their bottom lines in a short period of time, I really didn't expect that these people would have so many concerns.

"You mean to say that these people secretly form cliques for personal gain very frequently, but is there any evidence?"

Zhu Han's face had turned gloomy. In fact, many of these officials were the most trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

On weekdays, I have a lot of trust in them.

But now, in the court, they actually formed a clique for selfish purposes.

To Zhu Yuanzhang, he was an obvious deception.

What Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was when officials went beyond him and had other contacts with several princes.

Now his goal is to leave the world to Zhu Biao, but if anyone wants to ruin his plan, Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not agree.

Wang An looked at Zhu Han with complicated eyes and told him that when he went to the Ministry of Personnel to deliver some account books a few days ago, he saw the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Libu, and they both started talking.

Their goal is to build Zhu Biao's reputation in Yingtian Mansion as quickly as possible.

I heard that this is why they got the silk fabric this time.

"No wonder, from the beginning, we couldn't find out what went wrong with these methods. Now it seems that there are officials vouching for them."

"Some silks and satins from Jiangnan were out of stock in an instant, just to make Zhu Di look like a business genius."

Zhu Han has now seen everything clearly.

These officials wanted to make Zhu Di stand out in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but their practical methods turned out to be extremely stupid.

I know that my chamber of commerce has a monopoly when it comes to doing business.

In response to a lot of business in Tianfu, they worked hard on silk and satin, and almost ruined the silk.

Zhu Han frowned slightly, he could never tolerate it any longer at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the evidence we can find is actually not much. These people have always been very careful, but I heard that they have been in contact with Zuihua Pavilion recently."

"I wonder if I can find out some information in Zuihua Pavilion, but all of those women have special skills. I'm afraid it won't be easy to cooperate with them."

When Zhu Han heard about Zuihua Pavilion, a smile appeared on his face. He had already asked Yueru to start inquiring about these officials.

I didn’t expect that it would actually bear fruit now.

Since it was related to Zuihua Pavilion, Zhu Han was already sure of victory. He looked at Wang An with a calm expression.

"You should handle the affairs in the DPRK as soon as possible, and leave the inquiries about these officials to Gao Fei."

"Only by performing your duties can you eliminate these corrupt officials from the Ming Dynasty and bring justice to the people of the Ming Dynasty."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, he asked Ge Rong and Wang An to leave, leaving Gao Fei behind.

At this time, Gao Fei still looked confused. He had inquired about a lot of information before.

After all, for Zhu Di, it was a disaster.

Now if all this is told to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di may not even be able to keep his throne.

"Your Majesty, how do you want to go to Zuihua Pavilion next? I'll go find out the situation."

Gao Fei was impatient at this time and wanted to take action as soon as possible.

Zhu Han looked at Gao Fei and frowned slightly. He had already roughly grasped the situation of the officials.

Nowadays, it is not easy to arrange them all properly.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But I didn't expect that officials would be able to control so many situations nowadays.

If he were up here and there was any danger, it would be difficult to settle all of these things in a short time.

If the officials were to quibble, it would definitely cause a sensation in the court.

Whether it is Zhu Biao or Zhu Di, they will lose Zhu Yuanzhang's trust, and Zhu Han will never let this happen.

"Now you secretly ask the Jin Yiwei to go and track down these officials as soon as possible. I want to discuss countermeasures with the prince."

After Gao Fei got the order, he quickly went to prepare.

At this time, Zhu Biao had also read all the memorials that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to handle at his residence.

Standing up from the chair, Zhu Biao stretched and asked the butler to prepare some wine for him.

He had to get drunk today before resting. He had been busy with official duties these past few days, and he didn't have time to take a good rest.

Now that all the memorials have been read, all the matters arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang have been sorted out.

Only then did Zhu Biao feel that his whole body relaxed a lot.

"All the things for the past few days have been arranged, and I can relax well."

As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, the housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare. At this moment, people outside came to report in a hurry.

Zhu Han waited outside for a long time. Zhu Biao heard Zhu Han quickly get up and walk to the door.

"Uncle Emperor, why are you free to come to my house today? Please come in quickly. We have already ordered people to prepare wine and food."

Zhu Biao respectfully brought Zhu Han to the pavilion in the backyard.

This is Zhu Biao's most relaxing place on weekdays, and the butler has already arranged all the food and drinks.

After everyone had been screened out, Zhu Han sat across from Zhu Biao, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Your Highness, this wine is extremely pure. It seems to be the newly brewed peach blossom wine last year."

Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed when Zhu Han said this.

He doesn't actually drink much wine on weekdays, but he loves peach blossom wine very much.

The housekeeper at home would brew a little more for him every year.

"Uncle Huang, you can really taste the mellow aroma of this wine."

After Zhu Biao and Zhu Han exchanged glasses for a while, Zhu Han put the wine glass on the table and told Zhu Biao what Wang An told him today.

I want him to resist more, those officials in the DPRK.

Zhu Biao's face became paler and paler, and he looked at Zhu Han in disbelief.

These officials were all the most trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and played an important role in the court. He did not expect that they were doing such things in private.

"The businesses they do in private are just relying on their status in the court, which is why many businessmen have been fooled by them."

"Such a thing has already happened in the DPRK. If it is not resolved, many businessmen will definitely come in the future. If Tianfu files a complaint, the situation will probably become more complicated by then."

Zhu Han would never hinder any businessman from doing business. After all, officials and businessmen are one and the same.

But if someone wanted to get a lot of benefits from these businessmen by taking advantage of his official position, Zhu Han would naturally not agree.

When Zhu Han said this, Zhu Biao's face darkened.

He held the wine glass in his hand tightly, and he did not expect that Zhu Di's business this time was actually related to these officials.

No wonder they keep close contact with each other on weekdays.

There was such a big conspiracy hidden behind it, and no one could shake his position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

If anyone dared to make an idea in this regard, Zhu Biao would naturally not be able to agree.

"Uncle Emperor, since you have found out the information, I'm afraid there is a way to solve it."

Zhu Biao had always been respectful to Zhu Han, but now this situation arose between the court officials and the officials.

If I don't solve it myself, I can't imagine how many problems will arise in the future.

Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao seriously, naturally he wanted to support Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang placed Zhu Biao next to Zhu Han just to train Zhu Biao.

Now that he has reached this stage, Zhu Han will naturally not allow anyone to shake him. Zhu Biao has been cultivated with great difficulty.

Zhu Han looked at him seriously and made his decision immediately.

"The prince only needs to go to see Queen Ma once according to the countermeasures I have thought of before, and explain the whole story to the Queen clearly."

"Then even if it is in front of His Majesty, the Queen will still make the decision. King Yan's business this time has indeed made many officials in the court jealous."

As Zhu Han said this, he remembered Zhu Di's praise of Haikou in front of all the courtiers in the court hall.

His current business in the imperial court of Yingtian Mansion has long been worse than before, and now there really is no one who can make decisions for him.

Now has reached a critical moment, and officials are all thinking about self-protection, so he also wants to see who can stand on Zhu Di's side when things fall apart.

"The Haikou he boasted about in the military order has now come to an end. I just don't know how King Yan will make up for all the money."

Zhu Biao's face turned pale. He drank several glasses of wine before the anger in his heart could dissipate.

When looking at Zhu Han, Zhu Biao was very embarrassed.

He has long thought about being able to sort out all of these when problems arise.

But now I find that things are backfired.

If these are arranged properly, then naturally there won't be much competition.

He must work together with Zhu Han to make clear arrangements for the current situation in the court, otherwise it will definitely cause Zhu Yuanzhang trouble and embarrassment.

"I am willing to work with the emperor and uncle to resolve these matters. Even if I am impeached by those officials, I will not back down."

"Please ask the emperor to find a good way for the court to prevent the Ming Dynasty from being unstable."

Everyone in the court knew Zhu Han's position in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Han agreed without hesitation.

He and Zhu Biao exchanged cups and cups, and discussed state affairs together until evening.

Zhu Biao couldn't hold it any longer, so he went over drunk.

Zhu Han helped Zhu Biao to the study and arranged for a housekeeper to take good care of Zhu Biao.

"Prepare some hangover soup for the prince and let him drink it before resting, otherwise he will have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow."

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly after listening to Zhu Han's words.

Seeing Zhu Han drinking so much wine and still acting like nothing happened, the housekeeper couldn't help but admire him.

"His Royal Highness is a very good drinker."

Zhu Han faintly curled his lips and smiled without answering, and left in a hurry.

Early the next morning, when Zhu Han and Zhu Biao went to court, they originally wanted to tell Zhu Di directly about the manipulations done at Yingtianfu Silk and Satin Factory.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di directly announced in front of all the courtiers that his silk and satin shop business had become more and more prosperous.

He had already collected all the money included in the military order and handed it over to the Ministry of Revenue.

Suddenly it caused quite a stir in the court.

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, is doing really well in this business. That's a full one hundred thousand taels of silver. He actually made money from the Ministry of Finance in half a month. This is really amazing."

"I heard that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce has always hindered the business of the silk and satin shop, but I didn't expect that King Yan would succeed."

"His Royal Highness King Yan has a really good business acumen."
