First Prince of Ming Dynasty - Chapter 728

  Chapter 728 Placement

  In front of the gate of the Pan Mansion in Liyang County, a horse-drawn carriage approached quickly, and before it could stop, a delicate-looking little woman jumped down in a rather embarrassing state, and rushed in staggeringly.

   “Woo~ Dad, Dad!”

  Two or three idlers saw it and sneered and said, “Hey, all the young ladies who married off from the Pan family have come back to attend her father’s funeral, but Mr. Pan Fu and Young Master Pan haven’t made any movement yet. They are really filial.”

   “How dare he, haven’t you heard? The officials in Beijing have rushed back again, just to arrest him, just wait for him to fall into the trap.”

   “I don’t know who can benefit from the wealth of the Pan family in the end?”

   “Heh, who else could it be? Of course the magistrate of the county closed the door with the gentlemen from Beijing to share a share. Can it still fall into the hands of our brothers?”

   “Let’s go, let’s go, play elsewhere, it’s fine if we don’t get the money, but don’t get into trouble, if Pan Fu can’t catch him, maybe the lord official will catch us.”

   Ma Ze, a pale-faced official of the Ministry of Justice in Pan’s mansion, looked at the intruding woman with cold eyes and did not speak or stop her. The crimes of the Pan family could not be overwhelmed by the water poured out by the married daughter.

  A daughter in the house shall be punished by her parents; a married woman shall be punished by her husband’s family.

  The woman cried suddenly, and a man dressed as a scholar ran in from behind. It was Pan’s husband. After entering, he didn’t look at his father-in-law, but first greeted Ma Ze and Liyang County Magistrate with a smile.

  Yue’s family left a rich family property, and the brother-in-law committed a crime, probably because he didn’t have the luck to inherit the family business. It should have been his turn, a son-in-law and a half, but it’s a pity that in the current situation, he is afraid of getting burned.

  If the wife hadn’t insisted on coming, it would be too late to hide…

   “Lang Guan, it is true that Pan Fu is no longer in Liyang. Since I took office, I have been dispatching servants to guard the main entrances and exits. The thief must have fled to another county.”

  Ma Ze slightly tilted his head and said: “The new official is taking office, will the county officials below be willing to listen to your orders?”

“It is impossible to say, but once Panda dies and Pan Fu flees, the reputation of the Pan family will no longer be able to restrain people’s hearts, and the old hatred of bullying and insulting in the past will come up. I dare not say that everyone will be useful, but Pan Fu thinks It’s impossible to cover the sky with one hand.”

   Ma Ze nodded slightly but still instructed: “Don’t be negligent, and you can’t trust the county magistrate completely. Find a few people who have great enemies with the Pan family, or the nephew you brought to watch.”

   “No.”

  ………

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, but seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not say anything harsh after all, the case was urgent, and it was not surprising that someone took advantage of the loophole, not to mention that Shang Honghai’s secret report was also delivered, and there was actually a Xiangfu in Liyang .

   “Send more people to hunt down the criminals as soon as possible and bring them to justice. They must not mistakenly kill a person by mistake. You must know the truth that it is easy to abuse the people, but it is difficult to deceive the sky.”

   “Your Highness, don’t worry, I will never dare to let down the important task of the Holy Majesty and His Highness to appoint the world’s top criminal officials.”

  Zhu Biao nodded slightly, saying that this is to remind Chen Mingjie that no matter who wants to interfere in this matter, he must not compromise, otherwise he will never tolerate it.

  However, I didn’t expect that Hu Weiyong would not even spare the flesh of the fly’s leg. It can be seen that it is indeed a lack of money, otherwise the dignified Prime Minister would not be here.

After the Minister of Criminal Affairs retired, Zhu Biao went back to the side hall to continue eating. When something went wrong in the case, Chen Mingjie didn’t dare to tell Lao Zhu directly, so he took a coincidence and reported it to the prince first. How angry the Holy Majesty was, he would not tell His Highness Fat, this matter will become a minor matter.

   After finishing his meal, Zhu Biao took the towel and wiped his hands, got up and walked to the Jinshen Hall. After Lao Zhu retreated, he began to review the memorials, and the hard work of the day began again.

  Stepping slowly into the Jinshen Hall, the maids and eunuchs bowed to both sides to salute, but did not open their mouths to greet them. The Jinshen Hall is the most taboo to be noisy, disturbing the thoughts of the Holy One, but it is a felony.

  Looking at the porridge bowl that has not been removed from the imperial case, he said coldly: “Father, is it ready?”

  Zhu Yuanzhang patted his stomach and laughed loudly: “Boy, can’t we eat another bowl if we’re hungry?”

  Empress Ma got up early this morning and personally boiled two bowls of longan meat porridge. According to the imperial doctor, this porridge appetizes and delights the spleen, nourishes the heart and improves the mind, enlightens the gods, calms the five Tibetans, and is very effective for long-term consumption to strengthen the soul and lighten the body.

Of course, whether the later effect is uncertain, but it is indeed full of color and fragrance. Lao Zhu went down to Zhu Biao and saw Mingsheng. It was just when he was hungry, but he didn’t expect Lao Zhu to see that there were only two bowls, so he insisted on wrapping it himself. and drove his son out to eat in the dining room.

  Zhu Biaoqi said: “My mother has been away from Beijing for several months, and my son has been thinking about the soup made by my mother.”

   “We have been touring the North for so long, and we haven’t eaten the food your mother cooked.”

   “Doesn’t that mean that this porridge was made by the mother’s love for the son?”

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his jaw and said earnestly and earnestly: “Biaoer, what is a bowl of porridge? I think you haven’t eaten it now, and your mother hasn’t prepared the lunch yourself. You have to know the basics of the dishes at that time.” .”

  Zhu Biao angrily shook his head and laughed. Although he was still a little dissatisfied on the face, he was actually happy in his heart. It was a rare experience in this world that Lao Zhu could still bully him like this.

  Old Zhu looked at his son, who was always as deep as the sea, so childish, he was happier than eating three bowls of porridge. After sitting on the world and being rich, the joy was actually getting less and less day by day.

   Monarchs and ministers are different, except their father and son, with whom else can they joke like this?

   As far as Zhu Yuanzhang is concerned, he is not alone if he has a wife and son.

  The jokes between the father and son subsided after a while, the vivid emotions on their faces subsided, and an inexplicable heavy breath filled the hall.

   “In the Liyang case, the person arrested by the Ministry of Punishment made a mistake. Someone pretended to be a scapegoat. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and his son reported it just now.”

  Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said nothing. He would not be careful about this matter. There are so many state capitals in the world. If he has to pay attention to the case of one county, then his body made of steel can’t bear it.

   “By the way, we sent someone to send Chen Li to Korea. You should ask someone to take care of him. Don’t let him die like this.”

  A mere Chen Li, if he really wanted to kill him, he would kill him immediately. Since he was going to be sent to Korea, then he was too lazy to care and wanted to show his dignity, so he didn’t want him to die, which aroused public opinion in the world.

   “The minister will order Jiang Side to take care of him and distribute the land.”

   “Well, you want to replace Liu Bowen with Mingsheng?”

   “Yes, Sichuan is adjacent to Yunnan, Guizhou and Nanyang. They must show them the courage of my Ming Dynasty. It is better to attack the heart than to seize the land by force. Subdue the enemy without fighting.”

  Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment. He was not worried that Ming Sheng would rebel, but he was worried that he would not be able to govern Sichuan well when he was young. His son had plans for the future. As an emperor, he had to think more about the people under his rule.

   “First follow the administrative measures formulated by Liu Bowen, and then assign him a few more capable ministers to assist him in governing Sichuan. It is expected that there will be no major mistakes. After all, there will be no more wars in Sichuan.”

  Seeing that his father was still a little worried, Zhu Biao continued, “Yan Donglai, the former Minister of Dali Temple, is recovering day by day, and there are no vacancies in Beijing and Central China. Sichuan is a good place to go. I should feel at ease with him in my father.”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, Yan Donglai is a capable official, needless to say, but according to his seniority and rank, it is enough to succeed Liu Bowen as Sichuan Pingzhang’s political affairs, and it would be a bit wronged to serve as Ming Sheng’s assistant official .

“so be it.”

  Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: “Ming Sheng was married to the daughter of Zhiyuan Zhang Wenbing when he was in the middle of Shu, but her daughter died of a sudden illness before entering the family, and she has no wife and children for a while.”

  I didn’t mention what happened in the past. After Ming Xia’s fall, Ming Sheng and his mother went to Beijing. Although the country was destroyed, the blood still needs to be passed on. Empress Dowager Peng naturally wanted to find a suitable daughter-in-law for her son.

  However, Ming Sheng’s name as the Marquis of Guiyi is too famous, so a slightly wealthy family would not consider it. After all, who knows when Ming Sheng will suddenly die suddenly, marrying a daughter is not sending a daughter to die.

  Empress Dowager Peng despises the daughter of ordinary people. Her son used to be the emperor, but now he is still a marquis.

   This has dragged on until now, Mingsheng is one year older than Zhu Biao, not to mention children, he doesn’t even have a wife.
