First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao, who was still thinking about tomorrow's affairs, heard that when he looked up, there was a beautiful face with lonely tears, and a delicate face with pear blossoms and spring rain. He couldn't help but wondered: "I don't know why, who said that I want to give you away?"

Qinglian choked up and said nothing, Zhu Biao looked at her rice bowl to make sure that she was still too full, and she still had time to think about it, logically speaking, it would be good to be hungry for a few meals.

Liu An on the side was also speechless. The woman of His Royal Highness would die if she died. How could she give it to others? Besides, who would dare to take it? Isn't that a living reminder?

Zhu Biao didn't comfort her, he just drank tea and watched her cry. I have to say that a beautiful woman is always a beautiful woman, and Zhu Biao can drink two cups of tea even when she cries.

When she was crying and hiccupping, Zhu Biao promised that he would not give him away, and stayed beside her to watch her cry. Now Qinglian cried even worse, and Zhu Biao was in a much better mood.

It took a while before she was allowed to go back to sleep, and Zhao Huaian brought in a young man in his mid-twenties, with an imposing manner and an unstoppable aura.

"Tang Shizhong, Commander of the Army and Guards of the Last General's Mansion, is present to Your Highness!"

Zhu Biao was also delighted to see his heroic appearance. To be honest, the generals and soldiers in the army are all average-looking, even some princes put on ordinary clothes to plow the land without any abruptness. It is rare to have such a handsome man.

Everyone is Yan Dang, and history has proved that being handsome has an advantage over being ugly. Who doesn’t like a general with a white horse and silver gun under his command, it’s better than standing next to him with a loud voice and shouting that I’m the same The reckless man feels at ease.

Of course, it has to be that the person has real skills. After all, when it comes to the critical moment, the silver-like wax gun head is going to be a bad thing.

However, at this age, those who can sit in the command of the military guards will not be mediocre. Most of the military guards are from the orphans and young soldiers gathered by Lao Zhu back then.

Zhu Biao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Get up without ceremony, tell me about your situation along the way."

"No" Tang Shizhong got up and stood upright: "The final general was ordered to escort and supervise the imperial envoy Wang Shijian, and let him enforce the law impartially along the way. The state capitals he passed along the way found that the local officials were short of porridge for disaster relief. Both of them were immediately punished. There were also many local officials who tried to bribe, but Wang Shijian reprimanded them and made a list of them, and the last general also brought them."

Zhao Huaian took the list from Tang Shizhong and handed it to Zhu Biao. The officials listed on it were generally low-ranking. will be formally contacted.

It seems that Wang Shijian really put his heart into it. After all, he is an old fox who has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years. He wrote a few names at the end.

After reading it, Zhu Biao asked, "My sage ordered that all imperial censors in the Shaanxi-Gansu disaster-stricken areas be led by Wang Shijian. Where are those people now?"

Tang Shizhong replied: "They are all in Pingliang Fucheng, and they follow the imperial envoy every day to excuse those disaster relief officials."

Zhu Biao nodded, not counting Wang Shijian, the imperial court probably sent four waves of imperial envoys, the earliest came in March this year to check whether local officials were ready for disaster relief, and the rest were sent to supervise each other, but look It looks like they're all in the same boat.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Where are the disaster relief food in Pingliang Mansion stored?"

"At the guard station, the imperial envoy Wang had to lead people to count the amount of relief food allocated by the imperial court immediately after entering the city. The Pingliang prefect said that he was worried that the victims would be forced to store the food in the guard house. It is only safe if there are garrison guards."

"After all, you were not allowed to go in and take stock."

"Your Highness is wise, the Imperial Envoy Wang strongly demanded to go into the guard to count the numbers, the prefect of Pingliang had no choice but to lead us to the guard, but the commander of the guard, General Dingyuan Wang Liu, stopped us outside the guard. Said that no one can enter the guard post without the order of the governor, Wang imperial envoy had no choice but to retreat."

Zhu Biao nodded. After all, Wang Shijian was only an imperial civil servant. It is not surprising that even if there were five thousand guards, he would not dare to order a forcible attack on the garrison guards set up by the court.

Tang Shizhong raised his head slightly and said, "Although the troops stationed in the guard are far superior to ours, if His Highness wants to, the general dares to issue a military order, and he can lead the army and guards to attack the guard within half a day!"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Of course I believe in you, but half a day's work is enough for them to burn food and grass, not to mention the current situation, what's the use of capturing the guard?"

Tang Shizhong knelt down on one knee: "The last general is reckless, please punish him, Your Highness."

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Your government army has served as a guard for many years. It is understandable that you want to show your edge, but you must have rules in everything, and you must not be reckless."

Tang Shizhong's eyes lit up and he promised loudly that it was a great opportunity for His Royal Highness to teach him such a lesson. As the guard of the emperor, it is very difficult for the military guard to have the opportunity to make meritorious service. He has basically reached the end of his climb.

Zhu Biao was thinking about it at this time, and told Tang Shizhong: "Go back and tell Wang Shijian to continue to put pressure on the officials of Pingliang Mansion. There is no need to worry about it if you have the order of the Holy One. Kill as soon as possible."

Tang Shizhong retired as promised, and Zhu Biao also turned back to rest in the tent. The news of his identity as Chen Yunze should have been passed on by Zhang Heng. It should not be difficult to enter the city tomorrow. Who wouldn't want to hug Donggong's thigh?

The more pressure Wang Shijian puts on, the more eager those officials will be to find a backer. After all, as long as the imperial envoys report to impeach them, even if there is no conclusive evidence, according to the temper of the current emperor, they will be killed if they are killed. What's the point?

And they also knew that the only ones in the world who could talk about the Holy Majesty were the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince, but these two people had no chance to get in touch with Beijing officials, let alone local officials like them.

What's more, according to the rumors of the empress and His Royal Highness, these two are saints who have no desires and desires, and there is nothing that they can do, but I didn't expect that the rumors are rumors after all, and the prince is also interested in the benefits of selling food .

This moved them in a mess, not afraid that you like something, but afraid that you don't like anything, the crown prince wants to earn money and recruit orphans, well, they are all satisfied, just ask His Highness to say a few words in front of the Holy One To be fair, don't let these honest officials be wronged for nothing.

What's more, if the crown prince is involved, I'm afraid the sage will not pursue it too much. The prestige and reputation of His Royal Highness is far more important than the life and death of a group of disaster victims.

Zhu Biao thought about it for a while, and he was sure that the treatment he would receive after entering the city tomorrow would be much better than that in Qingyang Mansion, after all, there was no pressure from Wang Shijian in Qingyang Mansion.
