First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After Chen Bingxian's words fell, Zhu Biao didn't seem to hear it. He still tapped the table with the back of his finger rhythmically.

After Chen Bingxian finished speaking, he regretted it. In any case, he shouldn't have used such clichés to reply His Highness the Crown Prince. Cold sweat broke out instantly, but he couldn't swallow what he just said.

Chen Rongyan at the side gritted his teeth and pushed Chen Bingxian fiercely, until his body was unstable and he fell to the ground: "I think you are becoming more and more unruly! Your Highness dares to say those excuses in front of you, Don’t hurry up and tell the truth!”

Chen Bingxian immediately fell to his knees: "The villain has been in business for many years, and it has become a habit to talk too much, please forgive me, the villain Zhang Wenming, the prefect of Pingyang, has indeed only met a few times, but he also knows that he has embezzled at least 20,000 shi Food for disaster relief, and the rest of the judges and judges are all the same."

Only then did Zhu Biao stop tapping, and as soon as his ordinary voice stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Facing His Highness the Crown Prince was really under tremendous pressure, and he had to be careful all the time.

Zhang Wenming, I remember that he was born in the former Yuan Dynasty, once worked for Zhang Shicheng, and later took the initiative to lead the city to join...

Zhu Biao thought about it carefully, and he was sure that he had not seen this person in recent years, so it would be much easier to deal with it. Shaanxi and Gansu are remote, and it is not a very good place. The officials who can be placed here are generally There is no status in the dynasty.

Local officials have no status and family members, so naturally they will not be able to see the prince. What's more, Zhu Biao's body shape and appearance have changed a lot in the past few years. As long as he avoids the imperial envoy sent by the court, he should will not be exposed.

After all, even those who have seen Zhu Biao, few people have the courage to look at Zhu Biao's appearance carefully. It is a crime of disrespect to look directly at the king. I am afraid that they know the prince's court dress and crown better than the prince's appearance.

There is no need to ask about the rest of the matter. What Chen Bingxian said is actually not all prevarication. Even though he is backed by the Chen family, he himself is a businessman after all. Evidence is impossible.

"Okay, you all go down, and call me before the banquet."

Chen Rongyan immediately pulled his cousin with stiff legs to leave, and when he left the door, he shook off his hand and scolded in a low voice: "You are really crazy, you treat Your Highness like those petty officials you usually deal with , if it wasn't for His Highness's kindness, would you still want to come out alive?"

Chen Bingxian hurriedly confessed his guilt, and Chen Rongyan softened his tone a lot after seeing this. After ordering a few things, he let him go down to prepare. After all, he is the local snake in Pingyang.

After watching his cousin walk away, Chen Rongan, who was originally looking a little bad, changed his expression in an instant, and there was even joy in his eyes. They are all working in front of the imperial court. Naturally, there must be a difference between the front and the back. He stole the limelight, but now it's just right.

Even though His Highness Kuanren doesn't care about him, he will never rely heavily on Chen Bingxian, so it is I, Chen Rongyan, who is most favored by His Highness on this trip.

After making up his mind, he went down to do business. The guards at the gate of the city were quite strict, and the man surnamed Zhao just now never mentioned that he asked them to transport the grain into the city first, which was to put pressure on them. Dozens of refugees who were about to be overfed had already been captured.

Zhu Biao asked Liu An to take out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write a letter for Quan Xu to lead people to choose suitable children. After all, even if Zhu Biao can successfully relieve the disaster, the results of those children will probably not be better. Even if there are no natural disasters in this world, there are also human disasters.

In the evening, Chen Rongyan came to invite Zhu Biao, saying that Governor Zhao and Pingyang Tongsan personally invited them to the city for a banquet, but the nine-rank Zhima officials with different surnames were Zhao.

Chen Rongyan hesitated and said, "In a while, it is estimated that except for the prefect of Pingyang, other important officials will attend the banquet. The identity of the son...or it is better not to go."

Zhu Biao knew what Chen Rongyan meant. His current identity was the son of the Chen family, but he was not Chen Yunshu. In terms of his status, he wanted to take the initiative to show courtesy to those who judged his colleagues.

Zhu Biao smiled nonchalantly, he was very realistic, it didn't matter if he had to do something embarrassing, besides, saluting was nothing more than bowing and bowing his hands, not asking him to kneel and kowtow.

But he is the crown prince after all, if a person who is not worthy of virtue accepts his gift, he will suffer disaster in the end, Zhu Biao will regard it as offering incense to the dead in advance.

"It's okay, let's go to pay a visit to the presiding master now."

Zhu Biao got up and went out, Chen Rongyan respectfully followed behind, lamenting in his heart that the real dragon can be big or small, can ascend or hide, and is definitely not a generation with teeth and claws.

After walking not far, I saw Chen Bingxian and Governor Zhao whom I met at noon, echoing a middle-aged man with a long beard. Zhu Biao showed a bit of impatience on his face, but he still walked forward and bowed his hands and said: " The students have seen Master Judgment."

The man kept his eyes on Zhu Biao, and he didn't say anything when he saw his impatience. The princes and brothers from the capital all have this kind of virtue, and they look down on state officials like them.

Liu Ziliang smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is really a good-looking person. I have admired your father for a long time. I was thinking of going to the capital to meet him. I didn't expect to meet you here first. I must do my best to be a landlord. I also hope that Mr. Chen will not be polite."

Zhu Biao straightened his waist and shook the folding fan in his hand: "When you go to the country, do as the Romans do, students are not welcome."

"Hahaha, as expected of Mr. Chen Tongzheng, he is really proud, so please, Mr. Tongzhi has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time."

The few people were polite again, and then they got into the carriage together and entered the city. Han Zheng and others followed secretly. In fact, someone had already entered the city to protect them along the way. After all, they had to make sure everything was safe.

While driving, Liu Juan and Mr. Chen were naturally the core of the conversation, and Liu Ziliang showed his favor to Mr. Chen frequently. On the surface, he appeared to be ready to please Chen Youzong, the Minister of General Affairs, but in fact he was still exploring the bottom line.

Zhu Biao responded fluently, who usually fights against him, it would be too whimsical to rely on a state government to judge his background, but Zhu Biao still deliberately got tricked out, after all, he is a young man It shouldn't be able to get around an old fox like Gao Gao.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Liu Ziliang was satisfied, and he felt that he could handle it almost. If it weren't for the two old foxes from the Chen family who interrupted him, this boy would have been tricked out by him after playing with several girls.

And Zhu Biao also showed that he was a lot closer to Liu Ziliang, which is also a common problem of young people, who always trust others very easily.
