Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 37 Zhu Zhanji: The emperor asked, is Bachelor Xie still alive?
Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't give me those sloppy tricks."

Seeing this, Zhang Mao clasped his fists with embarrassment on his face and said, "Forgive me, grandson, but this matter is too mysterious, and the last general is not sure."

After accusing him of a crime, Zhang Mao said, "Does the grandson know about Shen Xiu?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhang Mao mentioning Shen Xiu, he frowned first, but soon after thinking about who Shen Xiu was, he looked at Zhang Mao strangely and said:

"During the time of Taizu, Shen Wansan, a strange man from the people, was originally named Shen Xiu. During Taizu's time, this man was so arrogant that he rewarded the emperor's army as a man. Taizu wanted to kill him, but was stopped by Empress Xiaocigao. Later, he went to Yunnan on the border. If it doesn't work, does it have something to do with Shen Wansan?"

Zhang Maodao: "Going back to the grandson, there is indeed some relationship. Although the Emperor Taizu assigned Shen Wansan, he did not pursue the Shen family afterwards. Shen Wansan also has a son named Shen Wendu. This person got Shen Wansan's legacy and later took refuge. Ji Gang, when he was about to eradicate Ji Gang's party, he learned about this, so he was arrested!"

Zhu Zhanji was not surprised that Shen Wansan had descendants.

After all, there are still many folklore about Shen Wansan.

Many businessmen like to rub off on the popularity of this local tyrant, and some even deify him.

However, Zhu Zhanji is naturally not very interested in it. If it is Shen Wansan himself, maybe he will still be curious.

But the descendants of Shen Wansan!
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Since it is Ji Gang's party, the behead should be killed, the house should be ransacked, and it should be done according to the rules!"

Zhang Mao was a little confused when he heard the words, and said: "But there are rumors that Shen Wendu got Shen Wansan's cornucopia and became rich overnight. After he took refuge in Ji Gang, he made even more generous moves. He not only offered Ji Gang gold, rare treasures and brocade, but also promised Regular worship, its wealth is unimaginable, if there is a cornucopia..."

Zhang Mao paused for a while, seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious.

However, Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes when he heard the words!

treasure bowl?
Not to mention that this thing is scientific or not, even if there is such a thing, Zhu Zhanji does not believe that his great-grandfather will not snatch it from Shen Wansan.

And even if it fell into Shen Wendu's hands, Zhu Zhanji didn't believe that Ji Gang would have no idea?

But although he has no idea about the cornucopia, Zhu Zhanji is still a little curious about Shen Wendu.

Ji Gang knew a little bit about it. There were not one or two wealthy businessmen who were the scourge. With so much money in Ji Gang's family, it was naturally impossible to just take bribes.

But Shen Wendu was actually allowed to survive.

From this point of view, Shen Wendu should have some skills!
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and then said to Zhang Mao: "Go and tell Shen Wendu that if you want to survive, let him hand over 1000 million taels of silver to me every year!"

"1000 million taels of silver a year?"

When Zhang Mao heard Zhu Zhanji's words, his eyes almost popped out!
The whole Ming Dynasty's fiscal year is only 4000 to 1000 million taels of silver. This great grandson asked people to hand over [-] million taels of silver. This is because the emperor Taizu is still alive, right?

Zhu Zhanji ignored Zhang Mao's reaction and continued: "Of course, I won't let him pay the 1000 million taels for nothing. You can find a chance and bring him to meet me. I just need him for something. do it!"

Zhang Mao nodded when he heard the words, and knew that His Royal Highness in front of him should have other arrangements, so he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Zhang Mao had nothing else to do, Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and asked, "By the way, what happened to Xie Jin in the imperial prison?"

Zhu Zhanji actually has complicated feelings about Xie Jin!

Logically speaking, Xie Jin was kind to him to some extent!
After all, the three words "good grandson" are not shouted for nothing. These three words have largely influenced Zhu Di's thoughts.

Zhu Zhanji also knew in his heart that his grandfather was not very satisfied with his stupid father.

After all, relatively speaking, compared to a prince who is obese, unable to go to the battlefield, and unable to kill the enemy.

To a large extent, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu has many similarities with Zhu Di!
It is precisely because of Xie Jin's words of being a good grandson, which influenced Zhu Di to a certain extent, and the prince's supervision of the country for so many years, this stabilized the prince's position.

But, Zhu Zhanji couldn't like Xie Jin a little bit. This person is simple at best, but lacking in brains at worst!

Xie Jin is a good hand when it comes to learning, but Xie Jin is definitely not suitable for being an official.

When Zhang Mao heard Zhu Zhanji mention Xie Jin, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Bachelor Xie was crying and howling every day when he first entered. At that time, Jin Yiwei was still in charge of Ji Gang, and Bachelor Xie suffered a lot!"

"Howling ghosts and howling wolves?"

Rolling his eyes, Zhu Zhanji knew from Zhang Mao's expression that Xie Jin's howling ghosts and howling wolves probably didn't sound very pleasant to him, so he said:
"Now?"

Zhang Mao was a little embarrassed: "It's better now, but this Bachelor Jie is very stubborn, his injury just healed, and he started howling again. In the middle of the night, the noisy brothers couldn't sleep, so the general reduced his meals to starvation. To the point of not killing him!"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

He felt that if Xie Jin was allowed to choose by himself, he would have to thank some Ji Gang.

After all, suffering a little bit of flesh and blood is not about to kill him. Without Zhu Di's order, Ji Gang would not dare to beat Xie Jin to death directly.

But hungry...

Zhu Zhanji said that everyone who knows knows it!
After thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to be fine today, so he said, "Forget it, you go and prepare some food and drinks, and come with me to see him!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Mao nodded, so Zhu Zhanji explained to San Yang in Qianqing Palace, put on a thick cotton robe, and left the palace.

The last time he came to Zhao Prison was when he was arresting Ji Gang.

But a few days have passed, and the people in the prison have been thoroughly cleaned. Ji Gang's accomplices, beheaded beheaders, and ransacked homes, it seems that there are a lot fewer people in the prison now.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's arrival, a group of Jin Yiwei immediately knelt down.

There are quite a few people here who survived last time, and they clearly know how terrifying this seemingly harmless grandson in front of him is.

Especially those 18 black cavalry who couldn't even see their faces clearly. [-] people fought against hundreds of people. No one was injured from the beginning to the end, and they shot and killed Ji Gang and his party.

Although I didn't see the Eighteen Cavalry this time, when these Jinyiwei looked at Zhu Zhanji, they still had awe in their eyes.

There were no windows in the imperial prison, and the light from the oil lamps was a bit dim, and the shadows were shadowy. Although the stench was not strong enough, the musty smell was still unacceptable.

Zhang Mao led the way with an exquisite food box, and it was also the first time for Zhu Zhanji to enter such a place.

Looking around curiously, Zhu Zhanji looked even more strange when he saw the quiet cell that seemed to be empty.

As if seeing Zhu Zhanji's expression, Zhang Mao, who was walking in front, said:

"His Royal Highness, but why is it so quiet in the Prison of Curiosity?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded when he heard Zhang Mao's words, and said without concealing anything: "I heard that prisoners who committed crimes were locked in a cell, and no matter whether they were wronged or not, they would yell when they saw someone come in. I am wronged, it is very quiet in this prison!"

Zhang Maowen explained: "What the grandson said is correct, but the imperial prison is different. On weekdays, the brothers in Jinyiwei eat and sleep in the imperial prison. If a prisoner comes in and starts to make noise, it will inevitably be It affects the rest of the brothers, so in order to avoid trouble, the brothers will entertain these prisoners every time they are full after eating and drinking, so that they will not have the energy to call again. After a long time, some experienced prisoners will be very tired. Forgive us brothers, even if there is a grievance, you will not shout again!"

As he said that, Zhang Mao laughed.

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Looking at Zhang Mao with a smile on his face, Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless.

Do you think you are very humorous?

Prisoners forgive jailers?

You see my smile is very low, you want to make me laugh, right?
The two walked for about four or five minutes, and then went down another flight of stairs. Then Zhang Mao pointed to a locked cell and said, "Grandson, Bachelor Xie is inside!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Open it!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Mao took out a key from his arms, opened the door of the cell, and handed the food box in his hand to Zhu Zhanji, saying:
"Grandson, the last general has sent all the people in this cell to other places!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Zhanji understood the meaning of these words, took the food box in Zhang Mao's hand, and nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Mao cupped his hands and said, "The last general will retire!"

After Zhang Mao left, Zhu Zhanji opened the door of the cell, and it was very quiet inside.

Fortunately, the cell is fairly clean, except for some musty smell, there is no other smell.

Through the dim oil lamp, Zhu Zhanji barely found a figure curled up in a corner.

From the slightly undulating body, it can be seen that this is still a living person!
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't shout, but dragged a small table in the cell that he didn't know when it was ready.

After lighting the oil lamp on the small table, Zhu Zhanji opened the food box and took out all the food in the food box!
There are not many dishes, a total of two meat and two vegetables, one stewed chicken, one braised elbow, two scrambled eggs with chives, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.

Braised chicken and braised pork knuckles are bought in restaurants.

But chives are more cherished, and the current season belongs to the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month.

It's easy to eat meat dishes, but vegetarian dishes, except for the real rich and nobles, most people don't even have to think about it.

Just like the chives, they are all cultivated in the fire room, and the plate in front of me alone needs ten taels of silver.

In RMB, it means almost 1 yuan!

Zhu Zhanji put all the dishes away, and then took out a flagon from the food box.

Looking at the figure in front of him that seemed to move for a while, Zhu Zhanji filled the two wine glasses with wine, took a sip by himself, and then smacked his lips and said:

"This is the signature wine of Wanhualou in the South Gate Alley of Yingtian Mansion. It is said that a pot costs 30 taels of silver. Why don't Mr. Xie get up and have a drink?"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, the person in front of him moved again, just when Zhu Zhanji thought his words were useless.

I saw this man sitting up suddenly, and then without looking at Zhu Zhanji, he reached out to stroke his messy hair,

Then in the next moment, he grabbed an elbow and took a bite, or maybe because he felt that eating an elbow was not enjoyable, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed the whole stewed chicken, one bite of the stewed chicken and one bite of the elbow.

Three or two bites into the stomach, probably choked on eating too fast, put down the stewed chicken, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp,
The wine glass is small, and I saw the wine jug in front of Zhu Zhanji with a glance.

Regardless of Zhu Zhanji's expression, he grabbed it directly, and the mouth of the pot was facing the mouth of the bearded man, and it was "tons" into the stomach!

Zhu Zhanji:_
"Slow down, I won't fight with you!"

Seeing Xie Jin like this, Zhu Zhanji immediately forgot what he had thought up.

He opened his mouth and looked at Xie Jin who ignored him at all. Zhu Zhanji was a little depressed. He wanted to take a sip from his glass, only to realize that his glass was empty.

Glancing at the white porcelain spout in front of Xie Jin, which had turned black, Zhu Zhanji silently gave up his plan to refill himself a cup.

Then just looking at where Xie Jin was eating, he looked like a starved ghost who hadn't come yet and reincarnated,

Zhu Zhanji stared at the dead fish's eyes. About ten minutes later, when there were only bones left on the plate of elbows, and the stewed chicken became a piece of chicken, Xie Jin burped, picked up the empty jug, Shaking with displeasure, he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said:

"May I ask His Royal Highness, is there any wine left?"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Feelings, do you know that I'm still here?
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Xie Jin speechlessly, and said expressionlessly, "It's gone!"

When Xie Jin heard Zhu Zhanji's words, he looked at the food box beside Zhu Zhanji with a look of reluctance, and made sure that there was no more wine in it, so he said with regret:

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's better to be worried without wine, and worry about the upper floors is even more worrying. The minister is so worried, how can your highness eliminate the worries of the minister without wine?"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

You can worry about where you are, and when Lao Zhu thinks of you one day, ask if you are still alive?
Don't you worry?
Rolling his eyes, Zhu Zhanji was extremely speechless to Xie Jin. He felt that the beatings of this guy by the society were still a little less, so he paused and said quietly:
"Some people say that Bachelor Xie is the person who has read the most books in the past 500 years!"

Hearing this, Xie Jin grabbed some scrambled eggs with chives and stuffed them into his mouth. He nodded and said without being modest at all: "I like to hear this. Who said it? You are very discerning!"

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

Glancing at Xie Jin, Zhu Zhanji continued: "If the emperor said what I said, would you believe it?"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, Xie Jin paused while eating the food, then raised his head to look at Zhu Zhanji, and said with joy, "The emperor really said that?"

"I………"

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth and looked at Xie Jin who was secretly delighted. At this moment, he really wanted to break Xie Jin's mind to see if it contained Shi?

If he didn't know that this guy had read a lot of books, it would definitely be of great help to him if he could be saved, Zhu Zhanji had the urge to turn around and leave at this moment.

Feeling a little angry, Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "If I said that the emperor still said it, I want to see if you are still alive, Bachelor Xie? Are you still so happy?"

Zhu Zhan basically thought that if he had spoken to this extent, he might be able to understand it if he turned his head a little bit.

However, the next moment, Xie Jin opened his eyes a little.

"I'm happy, of course I'm happy, I'm going to understand, haha!"

While talking, Xie Jin subconsciously shook the jug again, and then looked regretful again!
Zhu Zhanji can see now that he must not engage in any obsequious things when talking to this guy.

So he rolled his eyes and said, "Since I'm happy, after eating this meal, Bachelor Xie is ready to go!"

"On the road? Where?"

Xie Jin didn't react at the first moment, grabbed the scrambled eggs with chives, and asked subconsciously,
Then the next moment when he saw Zhu Zhanji looking at him like a fool with a blank face, the movements of his hands froze suddenly.

The next moment, his face turned pale in a "shua".

Then he said with a face full of disbelief:
"The emperor... the emperor wants me... wants me to die!"
