Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 152

The result of the great victory on the northern front was unexpected, but the victory came back, and the people of both Shuntian and Yingtian were cheering. Everyone hoped that their country would win the battle, especially those who were old and passed through the period of Mengyuan’s rule. elder.

The emperor will return to the court in a few days, and all matters in the court are being prepared, and the trivial matters of Hu Shanggong are added, and this time Zhu Gaochi has handed over many things to Zhu Zhanyu. Some masters reprimanded the slaves and servants, if not for the sake of face, they would often beat people, making these palace maids and eunuchs miserable.

A palace maid complained, but Hu Shanggong hurriedly stopped her: "Be careful when you speak, the second highness is not a negotiable person like the fifth highness."

"That is to say, it would be nice if every His Highness was like the Fifth His Highness."

"That's right, His Highness is not only good-natured, but also very good-looking."

Seeing that the maids praised Zhu Zhanchang in succession, Hu Shanwei couldn't help but smile on his aunt's face, as if his mother's fans found out that others were praising their idols.

Suddenly, a palace maid said, "It's a pity that His Highness was not chosen to go to the courtyard. Otherwise, after two years, His Highness will grow up. If His Highness likes me, His Highness must be a responsible Highness."

There was a biting coldness in the slight smile, Hu Shanggong had already made up his mind that this palace maid could no longer stay in the palace.

All things were done by Zhu Zhanzhen, and Zhu Gaochi acted as the hand-shaking shopkeeper. Zhu Zhanzhen also hadn't been lying on the reclining chair for a long time, shaking leisurely in the yard.

Li Xiaozhu brought the newly made clothes to Zhu Zhanchang. It was the concubine of the Crown Princess who made people rush to make them in order for Zhu Zhanchang to welcome the holy car. Last year's clothes Zhu Zhanchang could no longer wear.

The Crown Princess was originally very afraid of Li Xiaozhu, for fear that the two would develop feelings for each other, but gradually he found that his fifth son was much more emotionally powerful than the eldest son. Zhu Zhanji and Sun Ruowei were young and affectionate, childhood sweethearts, but this fifth son, Very affectionate.

Love words alone do not trouble him.

Maybe he really just likes listening to North Korea's strange stories.

"His Royal Highness, the Second Highness is preparing to welcome the triumphant return of the Holy Chariot, won't you go and help?" Li Xiaozhu asked questioningly.

When she was in North Korea, she had to try her best to please her father in order to live more comfortably.

"Second brother, let him be busy if he likes to be busy. Wouldn't it be good for me to rest more?"

"Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's blame?"

"What are you afraid of, I have been scolded a lot, what is this?"

Li Xiaozhu's face was speechless, she never dared to do this, even before she saw Zhu Zhanchang, she didn't even dare to think that someone would dare to do this.

"Your Highness, try your new clothes on."

"You wait for me to change." Zhu Zhanchang ordered Li Xiaozhu to come.

Li Xiaozhu did not refuse, and entered the room to change Zhu Zhanchang's clothes, while Chu Er was waiting at the door.

While changing Zhu Zhanchang's clothes, he asked in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, the concubine, the concubine, had a quarrel with His Royal Highness this morning, saying that His Royal Highness's high-profile good deeds are all for the Second Highness to do, not for you. Obviously you are doing a better job in assisting the country."

"Then what did my father say?"

"His Royal Highness said that you ran out privately to participate in the Zhoushan naval battle, and that you would punish him when His Majesty came back. Then the Crown Princess got angry and the two had a fight."

Basically, the maids over there know about it, and it's not surprising that Li Xiaozhu knows about it, and Hu Shanggong first told Zhu Zhanchang the news early in the morning.

Only when there are people in key positions can the news flow smoothly.

Both the prince and Zhu Zhanchang looked like they didn't care, and all their actions were based on their understanding of their father.

……

Holy car return day
Both sides of the canal were already full of people who greeted them, and when they came back from a victory, they were naturally welcomed by Jiajiang.

Because of the existence of steamboats, Zhu Di chose the waterway to return, and Zhu Zhanyu arranged for hundreds of officials to go out for thirty miles.

Just maintaining security takes a lot of manpower and material resources.

Zhu Di stood proudly on the bow, and Zhu Gaochi saluted with hundreds of officials: "Welcome the saint to return to Beijing."

The huge welcome ceremony did not seem to make Zhu Di happy, and he had a black face the whole time he saw Zhu Gaochi.

Anyone can detect Zhu Di's black face, Prince Han watched the excitement, while Zhu Gaochi was in front of Zhu Di's majesty, and it was difficult to raise his head.

After entering the cabin, Zhu Di threw a pile of books in front of Zhu Gaochi: "Prince Prince, when you start and return, I have been out for more than six months, how can you smash so many baskets."

"Father, let go of his anger, it's all because of the incompetence of the sons and ministers."

Zhu Di said coldly: "Southern Jiaozhi is about to be lost. Zhan Chang sneaked out to participate in the naval battle. He didn't participate in the Zaochao for five months, and let the two children bear it. He only pretended to participate in the Zaochao in the last month. You don't seem to care about my triumphant return, whether it is better for me not to come back, and the emperor's position is directly given to you, the prince."

As soon as this statement came out, Zhu Gaochi was frightened and immediately admitted his mistake: "Father, you can't so wrong your son, but the son's body is just right, it's not that you don't want to go to the council early, and the South didn't expect the Li Dynasty rebellion to be like this at first. Seriously, my son is at fault, but my son has no intention of not being a minister, God knows it clearly, father and emperor."

Zhu Di attacked like this, and Yang Shiqi immediately stepped forward to speak for Zhu Gaochi: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness is the upper court, but with the two His Royal Highnesses to handle state affairs in an orderly manner, although it is not as good as your Majesty's pro-government, it is not easy."

"And you, so many of you can't even see a grandson. Jiangxi's officialdom is messed up, and we won't deal with it."

Zhu Di is arresting and scolding anyone today, and it seems that he will not be able to rest until the fire goes out.

"Looking forward."

Zhu Di called his name, and Zhu Zhanchang had to come out.

"I didn't expect that this is the first time I asked you to assist in the supervision of the country. You can do such a thing."

"Grandpa Huang, Zhanchang has been working hard all the time, and he didn't dare to slack off." Zhu Zhanchang made a sophistry.

Regarding the grandchildren, Zhu Di's tone was a little softer, not as severe as scolding Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di took out a book with a purple cover from the table, which was a book handed by a censor: "Sneak out to Zheng He's warship, ignore the etiquette of the clan, the rules of the state, put down the important task of assisting the country, and ignore the I instruct you to be lazy in your usual actions, to delay if you can, to mix things up if you can, to speak inappropriately at the New Year’s dinner, to bargain with the envoys of the Eastern Empire, and to stay at night with the female officials in the palace.”

"Grandpa Huang, I was listening to the story..." Zhu Zhanchang hurriedly defended.

"Also, it's you who handled the cotton for the military."

"Yes Yes."

"You are more daring than your father." He slammed Zhezi on the table as he spoke.

Zhu Gaochi spoke to Zhu Zhanchang: "Royal father, Zhanchang is young and inattentive, but fortunately there is no mistake in the military supply. Although he sneaked out, he still won the Zhoushan naval battle and came back. The father is very kind."

"His reckless actions are all learned from you, the prince." Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi fiercely.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Zhanji leaned on Zhu Di's ear and said, "Grandpa Huang, there are many eyes on the boat."

"Hmph, I'll take care of you when I get back to the palace."

……

When the emperor returned to the palace, he immediately went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Di sat high on the dragon chair, showing his dignified and domineering aura.

At this time, irrelevant people were already screened out, and the ministers were not there. Even the King of Han was invited out to wait outside, leaving only Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanxi, and Zhu Zhanshan.

Zhu Di continued to attack: "The three of you, only Zhanxi is decent, Jiangxi Ping bandits are also leading the way, and they are also conscientious in the court. They have never missed any morning court, and the courtiers also praised him."

Hearing this praise, Zhu Zhanzhen was naturally complacent, but he couldn't show it. Instead, he saluted and said, "Grandpa Huang, my father was not feeling well some time ago, and the fifth brother is playful. I didn't do my best to be a son. A brother's responsibility."

You have all the nice things to say.

"Everyone learns, this is the good son and grandson of my Ming clan." Zhu Di was angry.

Zhu Di then took the fat father to open the knife: "Prince Prince."

"My son is here, my son is here."

"I heard that although you are not feeling well, the Golden Sabre Contest didn't stop, and you also mentioned a side concubine."

Sweat came out from the fat father's head, but he couldn't speak if he wanted to quibble: "This... this, this is a happy bliss."

"You said this nonsense. You really haven't left a single piece of food, drink and fun. I'm an old man who is working hard on the front line. You, the prince, are very comfortable. Co-author I became your prince's northern expedition leader. General, right, or I will abdicate in the future, go to the border army to take a position, and help you guard the border."

Zhu Gaochi nodded his head to the ground: "Father, my son, this is absolutely nothing."

If you think about it, he, Zhu Di, is fighting in the front line, and Zhu Gaochi is supervising the country in the rear. It seems to be quite happy. Of course, the government affairs that should be dealt with have been dealt with.

"What does it look like crying, are all your three sons here?"

After reprimanding for a while, there was still no actual punishment, and Zhu Di walked in front of Zhu Zhanchang again.

"Do you know where you are wrong?"

"Playful and lazy, regardless of his identity, he secretly boarded Zheng He's warship, participated in the Zhoushan naval battle, and negotiated with the envoys of Dongying at the New Year's dinner and lost the honor of the royal family." Zhu Zhanchang recounted all the crimes that Zhu Di had previously counted on the ship. once again.

"What else? Where is the Cao family in Huzhou Prefecture?"

"Grandpa Huang, they buy cotton for military supplies in a timely manner, the price is fair, and the transportation is fast. It should be correct."

"Come here, hit twenty sticks first." Zhu Di immediately shouted to the eunuch next to him.

"Grandpa Huang, Zhanchang is still young, and I don't think twice about doing things. Please think twice about it." The big brother hurriedly stopped him.

Zhu Zhanzhen also came out to intercede for Zhu Zhanchang: "Grandpa Huang, no, Zhanchan can't bear twenty sticks, although Zhanchan's work is not thorough enough, but fortunately, nothing went wrong."

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Zhanchang and waved his hand so that the eunuch didn't need to call. In fact, the eunuch didn't move at all. As an old man next to the emperor, unless the emperor urged him twice, he would not really call someone.

"You are so young, if you don't study well, it is said outside that you fell in love with Miss Cao's family and gave her the royal business as a child's play?"

"The emperor's grandfather and grandson have no intention of this. The demand for cotton in the north is large. The Cao family is familiar with the rules of the business world, and they have cotton planting. Erchen asked them to help with the purchase. There is absolutely no problem with the price, and there is no problem with the quality and speed."

"It's more eloquent than the prince. As long as you don't punish you heavily, you're afraid that others will follow suit."

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly grabbed Zhu Zhanchang: "Father, although Zhanchang is a little less tactful, but the Zhoushan naval battle and the transportation of military supplies are all well done, and there is no problem with the supervision of the steamboat. Now there is an invention. The new telephone has relieved the worries of the father and the emperor.

Zhu Di picked up the telephone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and asked the eunuch to try calling one of his concubines. It really had the effect of sound transmission, but his complexion remained ashen.

"Relying on some cleverness and tricks, don't you put the general family and the royal family's face in your eyes?"

Seeing Zhu Zhanchang, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have to defend him and hold him back: "Father, my father and son are wrong."

Zhu Zhanji also knelt down: "Grandpa Huang, my father is in good health. After all, the fifth brother is young and this is the first time to take up this major responsibility. There are some mistakes but there are merits and demerits. The Dongying messenger can handle it successfully. Grandpa Emperor calm down."

Zhu Zhanzhen knelt down several people, and knelt down.

Zhu Di was silent for a while and said, "Prince Zhu Gaochi is content with pleasures, neglects government affairs, and removes the country from prison, and the East Palace reflects on it."

"Thank you, son."

It is equivalent to dismissing all his positions and resting as an idler.

"The fifth emperor's grandson, Zhu Zhanchang, acted recklessly and disregarded the face of the clan. He went to the clan's mansion to kneel for five days, and copied the scriptures a hundred times by hand."

"Thank you, grandson."

Father and son looked at each other, neither of them escaped this trip.

Father and son are of the same mind, weighing more than 300 catties, one is scolded and the other is punished.

But in general, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small. It was more like taking advantage of the opportunity to beat. Zhu Gaochi had already prepared, and Zhu Zhanchang was actually the same. He blatantly gave him business like the Cao family. he.

Supervising the country, is this thing so easy to do?
If he is really in custody, the emperor must exaggerate and praise him well, and the ministers will also have thoughts, mainly his good elder brother, won't he be suspicious of himself?

It's better to find something to be scolded for.

That's what Zhu Gaochi did. I'll take care of you every big thing, but you have to find something to scold you for small things. It's impossible for Zhu Di to come back without scolding you.

What about life, since you can't resist, let's enjoy some.

A few people were sent out, and Prince Han asked knowingly at the door: "Brother, are you okay, the father is also true, isn't it just a trivial matter, why are you scolding you so badly."

Zhu Gaochi ignored him and left with the help of the eunuch.

The eunuch in the Hall of Supreme Harmony came out: "Zhao Wangye, Your Majesty announces you to enter."

Han Wang was stunned, why is there still a third child.

"Second brother, I'll go first to meet the old man."

Zhu Di watched as King Zhao handed over the book of the previous seal of reference to Zhu Zhanchang to him: "Since the great victory in northern Xinjiang, I have received this book of censors, but Zhanchang will be demoted in it. I sent someone to investigate, and in the early years, I was cut from office for the crime of clinging, and when the world was granted amnesty, I was reinstated.

Zhu Di's voice was cold, and Zhu Gaojiu was busy with a smile: "Father, please don't misunderstand your son, I have been supervising the rear supply in Jinan Mansion, how can I take care of these things, this person is also some friendship in his early years, Later, I felt that he had no relationship with him in general, and how could I tell the situation, this is not my style."

Zhu Gaojiao seemed to be pointing, and Zhu Di looked out the door: "Gao Xu can't do this, he never hides his complaint."

Patting the book on his hand, Zhu Di said to himself, "I heard that King Zhao's ears are bright and his eyesight, and he is well-informed. It's not certain that he heard anything from where."

Zhu Gaojiu's expression was embarrassed. The old man knew everything and thought about everything. Playing tricks in front of the old man was really courting death.

"Father, this imperial censor loves to cling to the powerful and is good at bewitching. Perhaps it is not necessarily which high-ranking official or grandson he clings to this time. You will know if you send someone to try it out."

"Let's go out and let Gao Xu go home early. It's not a big deal to watch the fun. If you don't chase him, you won't leave."
