Chapter 552;

The next day, Lu Yaoyao left for the capital after eating breakfast.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he met King Jin.

It turned out that she knew that she was going to enter the capital today, so she had been waiting to accompany him to the palace for a face-to-face.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen had just finished his early court, and the focus of today's court meeting was how to deal with those aristocratic families and businessmen who made money from the country.

Today's Emperor Hongwen is more majestic than before, and there are not many officials in the court who dare to stand up and sing the opposite, especially those officials from aristocratic families are now behaving with their tails between their legs.

Although Emperor Hongwen was the emperor in the past, he had no military power and was a toothless tiger. However, with the downfall of Lord Zhen Guo, Emperor Hongwen almost regained most of his military power.

Especially in the capital, all the military power is in his hands, and with the recent downfall of Lord Zhen Guo, many generals who were originally neutral or did not take Hongwen Emperor too seriously have become honest.

Hand over all the powers that should be handed over, or else you will be honest and loyal to the emperor.

It can be said that the current Emperor Hongwen is the real emperor.

Everyone in the court knew his attitude towards the aristocratic family. He had ordered Lord Zhen Guo to act several times before, but Lord Zhen Guo didn't know why he didn't do it.

Now that there is no Lord Zhen Guo to stop them, who knows if Emperor Hongwen will get angry and swing the butcher knife at them?

At that time, there will be nowhere to cry.

So just stay put.

And this time, not all of the aristocratic families are people who want to make money for the country, but there are still many smart people who understand that the Duke of Zhen has begun to decline, and even if he has the strength to fight back, he may not be able to last long.

So there are still many people who start to regress early, and only those who still have illusions continue to step on the thunder.

Now the vast majority of people don't speak up, and Emperor Hongwen has also become stronger. If he wants to speak up, he dare not speak up, and those who have nothing to do with himself will not get involved.

It directly led to the decision made by Emperor Hongwen today.

"I've never been so comfortable."

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwen was full of pride and joy. After holding back his anger for so many years, he finally came out. This feeling is indescribably comfortable.

"People from these aristocratic families are most likely to follow the wind to make the rudder. Not only yesterday, the person in charge of the Luo family went to the princess's villa overnight. According to this old slave, he must have received some news and asked the princess for help."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen rolled his eyes slightly, but he opened them quickly and said, "The Luo family is pretty good this time, and Yaoyao has also said good things about them in front of me a few times."

"Since she wants to protect it, then I will give her this face, and the Luo family will not clean up this time."

"Anyway, Liang and the others won't be able to make any waves in the future."

"Yes."

Wang De also nodded repeatedly.

Not long after, a servant from the outside came to report that Princess Wanfu and His Royal Highness King Jin were asking for an audience.

"Yo, just talking about her, here she is, and she's here together, please come in quickly."

Wang De quickly smiled and turned to invite him.

"I have seen the emperor."

The two entered the imperial study room and saluted together.

"Excuse me, excuse me, why did you two come together?"

"When I entered the palace just now, I happened to meet a minister who had retired from the court, and heard some things about His Majesty's plan to clean up the family in twos and threes."

"No, I'm here to ask His Majesty for a favor."

Lu Yaoyao didn't intend to hide it, and explained the purpose of coming this time as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The Luo family?"

Emperor Hongwen smiled slightly, and then said, "I just talked about this with Wang De just now. The Luo family has done a good job this time, and it is considered to be a meritorious service to the country, so it is not included in the treatment."

He didn't say anything to save Lu Yaoyao's face, mainly because there were some things that he couldn't say clearly.

If it is said clearly and people know about it, then Lu Yaoyao will inevitably have a headache.

He still kept in mind that his daughter didn't like trouble.

"The emperor is wise. I told Mr. Luo yesterday that he was worried for nothing. Our emperor is so wise. He will definitely not forget his achievements."

As soon as she said this, Emperor Hongwen laughed and pointed at her.

"Stop flattering, it's rare for you to come to the palace once, and stay with me today for lunch with King Jin."

"Success, but the courtier's mouth can be picky, can the food in your imperial dining room be okay?"

"It's really hard to say."

Emperor Hongwen, who was always confident, suddenly felt a little unconfident.

When it comes to food in the capital, it can be said that no one can compare with Lu Yaoyao.

He has also eaten the food at Baizhen Building several times, which is indeed much better than that at the Imperial Dining Room, and he has also eaten the hot pot at Lu Yaoyao Villa.

That's something that even the royal dining room can't keep up with.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, the things in this palace are all good things, and I haven't gotten many ingredients yet."

This is true, this is ancient times, and the transportation is not convenient.

And the capital of Dongzhou is inland, so there are not many opportunities to eat seafood.

Ordinary folks can only occasionally buy some dry goods from some merchants, and the quality is still very average.

The real first-class or top-quality dried seafood can only be tasted in the palace.

Lu Yaoyao, who liked to eat seafood in his previous life, suffered a lot after coming to Dongzhou.

"However, can my daughter-in-law order food by herself, or cook it herself?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen, King Jin and Wang De were all taken aback.

After a long while, Emperor Hongwen shook his head and said, "You are the princess, you can go to the villa in the ordinary place, and there are so many servants watching in the palace, what are you going to do?"

"You can order food, but you don't have to talk about it if you cook it yourself. If you have something you really want to eat, but you are worried that the imperial chef can't make it well, I will ask Wang De to fetch some high-quality ingredients for you to take back."

"Okay, it's a good relationship, then the courtier will have to take a good look at it later, the emperor won't feel bad, will he?"

Emperor Hongwen laughed again.

There is never a shortage of ingredients in his palace.

How to say Dongzhou, although there were times when there were famines among the people, but in the past few years when he was emperor, most of the time, Dongzhou was relatively smooth.

It is relatively prosperous and prosperous, and the people can get by, so it goes without saying for places like the imperial palace.

The few people chatted for a while, and Emperor Hongwen asked Wang De to take Lu Yaoyao to the imperial dining room to look at the ingredients. When Lu Yaoyao left, he looked at King Jin and started talking about what Lord Zhen Guo said. For the matter, ask the king of Jin if he has a direction.

However, King Jin didn't say what he had guessed yesterday.

"Not yet. After all, so many years have passed, and many things still need to be sorted out first."

"The emperor is in a hurry to clean up Duke Zhen?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded irrefutably and said, "I've been aggrieved for so many years, and I'm a little anxious to finally take him down, but what you said is also very important, and everyone around him is like this now."

"Then put him under house arrest first, and then take it easy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
