Chapter 375 Life is hard to find
Zhu Biao said a lot sincerely, hoping that his father and emperor would stop thinking about Hongze Lake. Although Fengshui dragon veins are heavy, the lives of the people along the river cannot be ignored.
Zhu Yuanzhang could still listen to his prince's words. After all, he was his imperial heir, and the Zhu family's country and society would be handed over to him in the end.
At this time, Han Zheng and Liu Ying came to see him, Zhu Biao got up and stood beside him, the two entered and knelt down immediately, and Han Zheng said first, "Report to Your Majesty, Liu Chun and the rest of the criminals have all finished their punishment, and I will return to your command."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I see, you immediately lead people to search those officials in Huaiqing Mansion who have proven evidence, and the property, money and food must not be missed. We are going to send them to Shaanxi and Gansu for disaster relief."
Han Zheng took the order to go, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Ying who was kneeling and weeping, sighed, got up and helped him up personally, and said: "You must take this as a warning, and you must abide by the court laws in your future actions. Your father treats us with respect." Daen, let's all remember, we told you in the early years that we will let you enjoy wealth and honor, and this statement will not change until now."
Liu Ying choked up and said: "The words of the Holy Majesty are kept in mind day and night. I know that my qualifications are mediocre and I only want to guard the lintel, but I forgot that there is Liu Chun, an evil animal. Now the Holy Majesty abides by the laws of the country. He was severely punished, but the Liu family was not held accountable, so He Yan, the mighty and mighty minister of heaven, accepted it."
Zhu Biao answered from the side: "A few days ago, my father ordered me to treat the blood of Marquis Yihui kindly in the future, and I also agreed, but I must guard the wealth and honor, remember the Zhu family A good Liu family can follow suit, and Yihui Hou should keep the sequence in mind."
"I understand that in the future, I will strictly discipline the children at home. If Wen Chengwu is successful, I will serve the emperor's favor. If I am not successful in civil and military affairs, I will enjoy the wealth and honor in my hometown. I will never let them do evil and make things difficult for the Holy Majesty and His Highness!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded gratifiedly, and then ordered Haosheng to collect Liu Chun's body. If he wanted to transport it back to his hometown in Fengyang, he could also borrow a fast horse from the post station.
Liu Ying was grateful, but in the end he refused, saying that Liu Chun had been removed from his family tree, so he was naturally not qualified to be buried in the ancestral grave, and he would find a place to be buried near Huaiqing
Zhu Biao on the side also nodded in satisfaction. If Liu Chun was transported back to Fengyang to be buried next to Liu Jizu in the end, it would be a great irony to the Zhu family. It is indeed good that Liu Yingneng is so sensible.
After Liu Ying resigned, the father and son continued to talk about the topic just now. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that his son was a little unreasonable, he still couldn't persuade him, so he had to agree.
Neither of them had any appetite at noon, so they ate a few mouthfuls and went back to their rooms to rest. In the afternoon, they will deal with official business together. No matter how powerful the Zhongshu Province is, there are still many important military and state affairs that dare not be presided over by the emperor. It can only be implemented after looking at it.
Back in the room, Zhu Biao took a shower first. Even though he wasn't splashed with blood, he still felt a little dirty after all, so he simply took a shower, which happened to be cooler.
After washing, he was ready to go to bed and rest for a while, when Zhao Huaian walked in to report: "My lord, imperial envoy Wang Shijian asked to see him, do you think he should be dismissed?"
Zhu Biao's expression changed, Wang Shijian's crime of corruption and cover-up cannot be escaped. The prefect of Huaiqing had recruited him long ago, but it was just because he had just captured Liu Chun. If he was called corrupt at this time, it would inevitably make him People all over the world thought that the Zhu family was avenging Liu Chun.
The rest of the imperial censors patrolling around the country will inevitably feel sad. After all, who can prove the facts, whether Wang Shijian is guilty or not is not a matter of the emperor's word, and he can only refuse to confess under torture.
So their father and son tacitly ignored this person. Of course, they didn't just let him go. After the limelight passed, let the pro-military captain's mansion check Wang Shijian's background carefully, and he would always be caught. When the time comes, the penalty will naturally not be stingy.
Zhu Biao wanted to see what this person was going to do, did he come to plead guilty? Or do you want to find out while the prince is young?
After a while, Wang Shijian, who was wearing an imperial envoy's robe, walked in, and immediately smashed his head on the ground hard. Zhao Huaian, who was on the side, subconsciously covered his forehead, as he had done before.
"The guilty minister Wang Shijian pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness will last forever!"
Zhu Biao understood his posture, and the old **** knocked on the table and laughed: "What is the crime of Wang Qin, you might as well tell it and listen, if the trivial matter is because you are not afraid of power to impeach Liu Chun The palace will also plead for you in front of the emperor."
Wang Shijian made a sudden attack. He couldn't sleep day and night for the past two days. After thinking about it, he decided that the prefect of Huaiqing would never hide his crime. Let's see if I can make a living.
But what His Royal Highness said, could it be that the prefect of Huaiqing really didn't confess him? It shouldn't be. The two of them are just ordinary interests. Don't talk about him.
Why don't you quickly change your mind and say that you are pleading guilty because Liu Chun's case made it difficult for the royal family?
No, no, not to mention that it would be irreversible if he changed his mind now, and His Royal Highness might not be teasing him.
Wang Shijian's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then he said hoarsely: "The guilty minister took a thousand and two hundred silver from the prefect of Huaiqing, and covered the prefect of Huaiqing, Tong Zhi and others for their crimes of violating laws and regulations."
When the words fell to the ground, Wang Shijian took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and held them in his hands: "After seeing the beauty of the Holy Majesty and His Highness, the guilty minister was anxious all day long and couldn't sleep at night. Now that the guilty minister is convicted, he is willing to hand over the stolen money." For the proceeds, I beg Your Highness to read leniently on the part of the guilty minister who confessed his crime voluntarily, and the guilty minister bows down to Your Highness!"
Zhao Huai'an looked at Zhu Biao's face, then took the bank note from Wang Shijian who was kneeling on the ground, and was about to send it to His Highness, when His Highness casually picked up a teacup and slammed it on Wang Shijian's shoulder.
Snapped!
After the teacup hit someone, it was bounced back, fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. Wang Shijian yelped, but immediately closed his mouth in panic, and kowtowed his head: "Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, please don't worry about it." The criminals are angry."
Zhu Biao sneered and said, "Why are you angry? The prefect of Huaiqing confessed to your crime a long time ago, and I didn't just find out about it. What I'm dissatisfied with is that since you said you would hand over all the stolen money, why is there only a thousand taels?
Wang Shijian's complexion suddenly turned pale. The magistrate of Huaiqing really confessed him. If His Royal Highness knew about it, then the Holy Majesty must also know about it. According to the Holy Majesty's temper, it is due to the mighty grace of God that he can be executed in the future.
Wang Shijian had a lot of thoughts, but no matter how he thought about it, it was a dead end. He said sadly, "Your Highness, the criminals dare not hide anything. The criminals from the previous state capitals also collected some rare treasures, but they all let you go." The servants have been transported home."
