First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang let out his breath slowly when he heard this, and it can be like this now, not to mention that he was unwilling to kill Ma Nanshan in his heart.

If Yang Xian finds out that Ma Nanshan is corrupt and fails to return the stolen money, Zhu Yuanzhang can only kill chickens to make an example of the monkeys in order to maintain law and order. Now that the stolen money can be returned, there is a chance to turn major incidents into small ones.

After a while, guards escorted Ma Nanshan and came over. He looked disapprovingly, knelt on the ground and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty is guilty, please deal with it."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said: "You are so courageous! You dare to cut corners in the imperial examination, and you will not succeed in rebellion!"

Ma Nanshan said seriously: "I will definitely not dare to rebel. Whoever dares to rebel against His Majesty, I will be the first to cut him off!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion improved a bit: "Then you can do such a scandal?"

Ma Nanshan replied calmly: "Hey, this is indeed what I did."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he didn't want to look at him anymore: "Can you be a little naughty, your dignified servant of the Ministry of Industry, if the court lacks you to eat or wear less, isn't the court's salary not enough for you, an idiot?"

Ma Nanshan said with a look of disbelief: "It's really not enough! Your Majesty, the brothers in the old camp in Fengyang have all been promoted. Zhang San and Li Si built houses, bought land, and took in several wives. I don't even have a decent woman."

Zhu Biao on the side couldn't help laughing, this guy also came out of the army, and he fought many battles, big and small, logically speaking, he saved a lot, how could he become such a virtue.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was only panting, Ma Nanshan said aggrievedly: "It was not easy for the Holy One to find us a job in the Ministry of Industry. After working for a few days, he fell down..."

Zhu Yuanzhang hated iron for being weak and said: "Okay... okay, did you tell me this, how much are you greedy!

Ma Nanshan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's more than three thousand taels. The people below divided it into eight hundred taels. The minister took more than two thousand taels himself. It cost two hundred taels to buy a house, and it cost four dollars to buy land in his hometown. One hundred taels, the rest..."

Zhu Yuanzhang kicked him on the ground: "Shameless, you have the nerve to reimburse us! Immediately go and hand over two thousand taels to the Ministry of Industry!"

Ma Nanshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Our flowers are gone, this is too..."

Zhu Yuanzhang kicked Ma Nanshan to the ground again: "Are you worthy of corruption? Get out! Get out!"

Ma Nanshan got up and patted his head: "We don't hide anything from elder brother, and we will say whatever the Holy Majesty asks!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Ma Nanshan angrily and couldn't speak. Seeing that he was about to close his breath, Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to support his father, gave him a hand, and glared at Ma Nanshan, a living treasure. If you don’t go to the Ministry of Industry to block the money!”

At this moment, Ma Nanshan also knew that he would stay, and guessed that he would not be able to escape being stabbed, so he agreed, patted his ass and left.

On the other side, the officials of Zhongshu Province were still carefully inspecting the Enke examination room. Li Shanchang sighed and gave Hu Weiyong a wink, telling him to stare at Ma Nanshan. If the money is wasted, it will become a big joke.

Zhu Biao supported Zhu Yuanzhang and sat down on a step. Although there are tables and chairs in the Enke examination room, who knows if it will collapse.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a long time before he calmed down. If someone else made a mistake and honestly knelt down and begged for mercy, he would be over if he taught himself a lesson, but he met this donkey.

Zhu Biao persuaded him a few more words, and then Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Li Shanchang, and ordered: "Peel off his official position, and then beat that idiot 50 times, and then escort him directly to Tanghe."

Li Shanchang left as promised, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Yang Xian to be responsible for rectifying the Enke examination room.

Zhu Yuanzhang led his son back to the imperial study, and when he entered the room, he saw Mao Xiang kneeling on the ground. Zhu Biao took a look and said nothing, and went back to his seat directly.

Mao Xiang said: "Your minister failed His Majesty's trust and made such a big mistake in the Enke examination room. Please punish him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You also go to get the 30 boards, and find out who is colluding with Ma Sandao to corrupt the law?"

Mao Xiang immediately replied: "It's the Li family in the city. Their family is in the business of building materials. The head of the Li family has already served. They have stolen a total of 6,000 taels, and divided Ma Nanshan's more than 2,000 taels."

Zhu Yuanzhang choked up his anger once he had come along: "Didn't Ma Sandao say that the total is more than three thousand taels?"

Mao Xiang also twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It seems that he was also deceived."

In fact, Mao Xiang was also very wronged, he just never expected that Ma Sandao's brain would have the idea of ​​taking money, and that's why he would be beaten 30 times for no reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very annoyed: Haha, how courageous, I thought I was using Ma Sandao to steal a few hundred taels, but I didn't expect them to get the big head. "

Mao Xiang went on to say: "Not only that, but they also made money out of Ma Nanshan's two thousand taels. They introduced a prostitute to Ma Nanshan and hooked him up to pay her to redeem her body. After taking the money, they returned to Li. Home, Ma Nanshan is empty of people and money..."

Zhu Yuanzhang supported his head tiredly and said: "Confiscate the house, and all the main personnel will be beheaded for public display."

Mao Xiang immediately agreed to leave, and Zhu Biao got up and poured a cup of tea for his father: "Veterans like Ma Nanshan are straightforward, and they really have nothing to do except kill people and fight wars. It's really not appropriate to put them in the sixth department."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea and said: "It's true that they are upright, but the only one who can be so upright is Ma Sandao!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Is our salary really not enough?"

Before Zhu Biao could speak, he retorted: "It's not enough to give them as much, but they will be more greedy!"

Zhu Biao persuaded: "People's hearts are like this, but there are indeed officials who stick to their hearts. They don't take money and break the law, but their lives are very tight. But after a long time, they can't help it when they see their colleagues eating and drinking. .

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Let's add some, but we have to wait until the limelight passes, otherwise it will be a shame."

Zhu Biao naturally said a few words about Father Huang Shengming, and then the father and son began to review the memorial again.

Zhu Biao suddenly saw a memorial from Yang Jing, Marquis of Yingyang, which stated that Ming Sheng, the ruler of the Xia Kingdom, was unwilling to surrender, and now he didn't know how to deal with it. Please show me. The following records the recent political situation of Xia Kingdom.

Zhu Biao frowned and thought for a while, Ming Sheng, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, seemed to be about the same age as him, but he had been on the throne for three or four years.
