Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Wu Yongfeng did not dare to beg for mercy. His face was ashen and he could not be more desperate.

Life has reached this point, and this is probably it, and there is no turning back.

"You have betrayed my trust, and there is no need for me to let you go."

Zhu Xuan sneered and said, "Did you think so before I left, or did you wait until I left to think about it this way? Who had the first idea?"

He still wanted to know some details.

The previous Cen Jing was actually normal, unlike someone who could do such a thing, but people's hearts are changeable, and change requires a process. It is not surprising that he ended up like this.

"It's the idea of ​​​​the grassroots."

"Cen Jing was also led by grassroots people."

"The grassroots came up with the idea after His Highness left. Seeing the entire trade zone right in front of them, it's hard not to have this idea."

Wu Yongfeng had no choice but to say.

However, his voice seemed to be very emotionless, giving people a very indifferent feeling, and seemed to be completely desperate. After all, there was nothing now.

"your thoughts?"

Zhu Xuan said: "You are very courageous! I'm afraid you will start planning while I am still here, ha..."

He is sneering.

But who did it first and whose idea was no longer important at this time, everything was a foregone conclusion, it was enough to convict them.

"Take it down!"

Zhu Xuan didn't want to see Wu Yongfeng again, so he asked Jin Yiwei to drag him down.

With the return of Yu Xin and others, Mei Yin's memorials were also delivered. Zhu Xuan asked these memorials to be sent directly to his desk without going through the cabinet, and he opened them and read them.

In the memorial, Mei Yin described in detail the problems that occurred in the trade zone and how many high-level officials in the trade zone were arrested. These high-level officials were all corrupt with Cen Jing and the others.

If the people at the top are corrupt, then the people below are absolutely unavoidable.

There are many of them who got involved through connections.

Mei Yin temporarily managed the trade zone, but he also wrote in the memorial that he hoped Zhu Xuan would arrange for a suitable person to take charge as soon as possible. He did not dare to manage it for too long. Seeing the money coming in every day, he was worried that he could not trust himself and could not suppress his desire.

However, in his letter, he also listed a series of suggestions on future management and reform of the trade zone, and then described various approaches based on his experience and feelings in the trade zone.

The main reason is to help Zhu Xuan and prevent similar problems from happening in the trade zone in the future.

Can effectively control, the next person responsible for managing the trade area.

"Uncle, you have good intentions."

After reading the memorial, Zhu Xuan sighed. He was indeed Lao Zhu's favorite son-in-law. Mei Yin was indeed a very good person. People who could be recognized by Lao Zhu generally had good character.

"Let's talk about this matter again tomorrow morning!"

Zhu Xuan put down this memorial and looked at other memorials.

Waiting until evening, when it was time to get off work, Zhu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's better to go to Hua'er."

After a while.

Zhu Xuan appears in the East Palace, the palace where Cen Hua lives.

"Your Highness!"

Cen Hua was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Xuan come in.

She had been sad for a long time because of Cen Jing's incident, but now she seems to have not gotten over the sadness. She has become much thinner and there is not much flesh on her face.

"Come and see you."

Zhu Xuan smiled and said, "I'm worried that you think too much."

Cen Hua snuggled into Zhu Xuan's arms, shook her head slightly and said, "I can't do that. I no longer think about the Cen family. I will never have anything to do with you in the future, let alone seek mercy from His Highness." She is very sensible. , sitting in this position, I understand that many things must be avoided and cannot be done casually.

Even when speaking, one must be careful and not violate taboos.

"It's best if you think so."

Zhu Xuan lowered his head and said: "Some members of the Cen family have been brought to Beijing, but Cen Jing is still in Panyu. Many people in the Cen family have fled overseas. I asked Zheng He to catch them and bring them back together when the time comes. "

"Your Highness, stop talking."

Cen Hua shook her head and said: "I...I don't want to hear it."

It's not that she doesn't want to hear it, it's that she can't bear to hear it.

"It is my fault."

Zhu Xuan said guiltily.

Cen Hua said: "Your Highness is right, but the Cen family is actually wrong. Your Highness trusts them so much, and they..."

She sighed quietly and couldn't speak any more.

"Okay, don't talk about this."

Zhu Xuan gently rubbed her pretty face and said, "There is no flesh on her face. She has lost weight because of worry. Hou Xian, go and tell the imperial kitchen to make arrangements and make some body-building things."

Hou Xian ran out quickly.

The expression on Cen Hua's face softened, but her face was still not that pretty.

Zhu Xuan had no choice but to say a few more words of comfort. Tonight, he would stay with Cen Hua.

The next morning.

After Zhu Xuan got up, he first went to the morning court to bring up the matter of the trade zone.

During the Chinese New Year this year, two very important things happened. One was the nobles and the lord, and the other was the corruption problem in the trade zone.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the ministers of the DPRK and China still look down upon commerce, but no one denies the importance of commerce, especially the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Most of the money they have in the treasury is taxes collected from commercial activities.

Both the government-run commerce of the Ming Dynasty and the commercial activities in the trade zones promoted the development of the Ming Dynasty's economy.

"I never imagined that the person I chose and trusted would stab me in the back."

Zhu Xuan sighed: "You all know that the trade zone needs to exist. If the trade zone is banned, whether you can afford your salary will be a problem, but how to manage the trade zone is particularly important."

Xia Yuanji was the first to step forward and said: "Back to Your Highness, I believe that the trade zone should be strictly controlled. All those responsible for managing the trade zone must be rotated and cannot be retained for a long time. At the same time, supervision must be strengthened. Every rotating official must be You must undergo a comprehensive investigation before and after the replacement..."

He made several suggestions, which he had already thought of.

When Yu Xin came back, news about the trade area spread throughout the household department.

Xia Yuanji had thought so much in advance and was waiting for today's court meeting to put forward his ideas.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "Xia Aiqing is right. I will leave this matter to your Ministry of Revenue to discuss it carefully and come up with a complete countermeasure. At the same time, help me select some suitable officials to serve in Panyu Trading."

"Yes!"

Natsuhara Yoshiro said.

Other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs also responded in the same way.

They guessed that His Highness wanted to hand over the trading area to the Ministry of Household Management. Thinking of this, they felt excited.

If it is really handed over to the Ministry of Revenue, they are confident that they can manage the future trade zone well.

Zhu Xuan added: "Are there any other matters? If there are any, report them all. If not, we will withdraw from the court!"

Other ministers have more or less other matters, and many of them report to each court meeting. (End of chapter)
