Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 823: The Secret Revealed by Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, not knowing what to say next.

Because he found that this matter was really troublesome.

How much thought went into choosing a crown princess for Zhu Biao?
The considerations involved here are so mind-boggling that it makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"Tsk, let's take a long-term view on this matter!"

"Fortunately, Xiongying is still young, so we can slowly search for him."

"Hey, Biao'er, now that you're almost fully recovered, how about you come and help us deal with state affairs?"

"We have too much to do!"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was suddenly shocked.

"Dad, no, no, no, please don't!"

"I still have to go to Hu's house to continue my studies."

"Huh? You didn't finish your studies? Then why are you back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was having a good chat with Zhu Biao, but when Zhu Biao said this, he was stunned.

This is not right!
We paid so much price for you to learn this, and you came back without learning it all?
The point is, our jade pendant was a good thing that we originally intended to take to the grave.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao's explanation came quickly.

"Dad, the teaching is still going on. Uncle has never interrupted our studies."

"It's just that learning this stuff really takes a lot of effort and thought, and the key is that it can only be passed on orally and can't be put on paper."

"So, we can only take it slow."

"And this time my son came back because my uncle got intelligence that there might be war inside and outside Yingtian City. Therefore, not only my son, but also my uncle's family and the people of Hujia Village went into the city to the Hu Mansion to avoid disaster."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes narrowed suddenly.

"You mean, Weiyong brought his entire family into the city?"

Zhu Biao nodded silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer cared about anything else. He just got serious and stared at Zhu Biao and asked loudly.

"Explain the whole thing to us!"

"Damn it, this is going to be a disaster!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior not only confused Zhu Biao, but also made Empress Ma beside him look over.

"Zhongba, what's wrong with you?"

"Isn't it natural for Weiyong and his family to seek refuge in the city?"

"His manor is not a fortress or a strong city!"

Zhu Biao, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, but his eyes were always on Zhu Yuanzhang. He really wanted to hear what his father meant.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh.

"Oh! What a stupid brain you two have!"

"You all know that Hu Weiyong has come to the city to seek refuge. Don't you think about how great a disaster it would take for him to abandon his other property and bring his entire village to the city?"

"Yes, his Hujiazhuang is indeed not a strong city or a fortress, but if he closes the gate and sends people to guard it, hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to attack his manor."

"But what's the result?"

"He ran to the city without hesitation. What does this prove?"

"This proves that he has no confidence at all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need anyone else to answer, he just laid out all the results.

Then Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed and he seriously explained the news he had heard from Master Hu before.

"Dad, my uncle gave me news..."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slowly as he listened to Zhu Biao's detailed account of the situation. Then, as he listened, his expression became wrong, especially when he heard Master Hu's analysis that the matter was because Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Jinyiwei and ignored the instigation of others behind the scenes, and that the matter might be out of control, Zhu Yuanzhang's old face became somewhat annoyed.

Because he seemed to really ignore the person behind it.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang nervously.

"Zhongba, Weiyong has always been a man of vision. If he says so, then it proves that there is something real here!"

"You can't take any chances!"

"You too, our family has been at the end of their rope with someone, and you still expect them to be polite to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but Zhu Biao spoke with a frown.

"Dad, I just don't understand. Everything was fine a while ago. Why did such a big fuss suddenly happen?"

"Besides, if it's really as my uncle said, then there might be problems with the governors of several places."

"Otherwise, these rebel soldiers will not be able to leave the area and will be suppressed by the government!"

"But, when did this governor's office become so bold?"

"After getting to this point, how dare you get involved in this kind of mess where your family is exterminated and your property is wiped out?"

"Aren't they really afraid of losing all the wealth they have accumulated after working so hard to climb to the position they have worked so hard to achieve over the years?"

Zhu Biao really couldn't understand this problem.

The so-called governor-general is just a respectful title. In fact, he should be the prefect, which is a fourth-rank title under normal circumstances.

But the area of ​​a prefecture in the Ming Dynasty is really not small, and the prefect has great power in the local area, so he is generally respectfully called the governor.

To put it bluntly, those who can rise to the position of prefect of a region are all people of some reputation, hence the honorific title.

It is precisely because it is not easy to get to this point, and the next step is to enter the Six Ministries, that Zhu Biao found it strange.

The governor of a region is a person who holds a high position of power and is like a local emperor. Anyone who can sit in this position is definitely someone trusted by his father.

These people have definitely reached where they are today because of their good abilities, backgrounds, and character.

But the result?

If the accusation is something like corruption and abuse of power, Zhu Biao believes it!

Can we rebel?

What do they want?
Is this a serious crime?
Do you want your whole family to die quickly and cleanly?

This is what Zhu Biao couldn’t understand.

What’s the point?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao sideways, smacked his lips, and said as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Maybe they were scared by the empty seal case we were handling!"

"Hmm? Empty Seal Case? What does that mean? What is an empty seal?"

Zhu Biao was confused. Empty seal?
What the hell?
And judging from what Zhu Yuanzhang said, this is a big case?

Otherwise, all the prefects would not have been scared.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed much more confident when he said this.

"Huh, haven't you heard of it?"

"If it weren't for chance, I wouldn't have heard of it!"

"Biao'er, you have been the regent for many years, and you have intervened a lot in the Ministry of Revenue. You should know that the Ministry of Revenue has to verify the money and grain accounts with various places every year, right?"

"Yeah, I know!"

"According to our rules, the tax and grain account books of various places must be stamped with the local seal and then come to the Ministry of Revenue for verification. If the numbers don't match, they must be sent back to the local area to be remade, stamped, and then sent back!"

"What is this? This is an official system that has been established. They should be more rigorous in their work."

"But in the end, these bastards played tricks on us!" (End of this chapter)
