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

Chapter 711 The fair-weather monk
  Not only does the government need to be rectified, but so do the religions.

The Buddhists took advantage of the privileges given by Zhu Yuanzhang and colluded with the Ming Dynasty nobles to evade taxes. This was an unexpected move by Zhu Xuan. From this, it can be inferred that the Taoists may have done similar things.

Seeing the big from the small, the matter of colluding with each other is definitely not limited to Dingyuan.

Zhu Xuan felt a headache. Before he became emperor, he had discovered so many problems one after another. There were many problems within the Ming Dynasty. When he became emperor in the future, he would have to deal with even more.

But let’s deal with the issue of Dingyuan County first.

Before he ascended the throne, the emperor's grandfather was here, and he would help solve many problems. He also had the courage and dignity to solve many problems forcibly. This was good for Zhu Xuan, but he did not want the emperor's grandfather to be too tired, which would be very harmful to the body. good.

The ideas are a bit contradictory and tangled.

Zhu Xuan gave all the instructions that should be done and went back to accompany his little wife.

"Your Highness, do we have to wait for a while before going to Fengyang again?"

Xu Miaojin asked.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "The ancestor worship has to be postponed again, but it is close to the capital from here. The person delivering the news can go back and forth soon. Does Sister Miaojin want to get married as soon as possible?"

After the ancestor worship is completed, the time to respond to the sky is probably the time when they get married.

It is perfectly normal to have this longing in my heart.

Xu Miaojin blushed a little after Zhu Xuan revealed her inner thoughts. Not only she blushed, but Tie Xiuying and Cen Hua also did the same, lowering their heads in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I will never forget to get married."

Zhu Xuan said.

They nodded at the same time and waited expectantly.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun came to Dingyuan, and the news spread quickly. But at the same time as the news spread, there was another news circulating outside, that is, His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun was in Dingyuan to punish corrupt officials and investigate landlords and Buddhist temples.

Anyone in the county who has a grievance or has been framed by a noble official can report the case to the county government, and the emperor will interrogate him personally.

At the same time, the landowners and nobles, as well as the monks in the Buddhist temples, were all controlled by the Jinyi Guards and the Yulin Guards. No one could do without them, and they were waiting for Lao Zhu's imperial edict, which made these people panic.

No matter whether they are monks or nobles, they are trembling now, not knowing what kind of end awaits them.

News of Dingyuan even reached Fengyang, forcing the nobles there to make all preparations in advance.

At this time, Zhu Xuan was reviewing cases in the county government office.

There are quite a few people who come to complain.

Zhu Xuan was too busy to stop, and Jin Yiwei was also too busy to investigate, and couldn't stop either.

It's not until noon, during lunch break, that you can relax.

"There are so many people filing complaints in Dingyuan County, which has resulted in many unjust, false, and wrongful convictions and suppressed people. This shows how corrupt the county magistrate in Dingyuan is!" Zhu Xuan said helplessly.

There is really no way to prevent this kind of thing.

We can only try our best to control and rectify the administration of officials, hoping that there will be less in the future.

Kaifeng.

Zhou Wang Zhu Ju entertained a person with a special status today.

This man was still a monk, wearing a black monk's robe. If it weren't for the incense scar on his head and holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, he wouldn't look like a monk at all. He would just be thought of as a bald man.

Because this monk is very dishonest, Buddhist admonitions are just empty talk to him. Zhu Xi looked at this monk, eating meat, drinking soup, and even drinking wine. He tasted so heroic and different from a real monk, and said: "Master Daoyan is really special."

The monk was Yao Guangxiao, who had returned from the grassland. He came to see Zhou Wang Zhu Ju. Naturally, he had his own reasons. Hearing this, he put down the sheep and scorpions in his hands, wiped the oil on his hands with his black monk's clothes, and said, "I am just a drunkard." Monk, I only know how to live happily, and King Yan often said this about me."

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Xi laughed and said: "Master Dao Yan is indeed different and very courageous. Now that you are wanted everywhere by the court, you still dare to appear in front of me. Aren't you worried that I will tie you up and send you to the Jinyi Guards? "

"I believe His Highness King Zhou will not do this."

As Yao Guangxiao spoke, he took a sip of wine and ate meat until his mouth was shiny and full of relish.

The wine and meat passed through the intestines, but remained in the heart of the Buddha.

"Oh?"

Zhu Xi asked curiously: "Master Dao Yan is very confident in himself?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "It's not that I have confidence in myself, but that I have confidence in His Highness. I believe that His Highness needs me very much."

In fact, Zhu Rui had the idea of ​​​​tying up Yao Guangxiao and sending him to Jin Yiwei, but in the end he did not do so.

He still knew some things.

For example, knowing Yao Guangxiao's position around Zhu Di, he has been helping Zhu Di with suggestions and research on how to rebel, how to fight for power, etc. Although they all failed in the end, this evil-minded monk still has the ability to come to him suddenly, which seems very meaningful. profound.

It’s not just as simple as coming here to eat a meal of meat and drink a meal of wine.

I definitely want to plan something big with him.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Because I know very well that His Royal Highness King Zhou has certain ideas, and he is still unwilling to do so. He wants to do something to resist, right?"

Zhu Rui narrowed his eyes and asked calmly: "Did the fourth brother ask the master to come to me? Is the master a test, or does he want to do something?"

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand and said: "Testing? No need! What I said is serious. I know that His Highness is not willing to give in. It is understandable and normal for Your Majesty to like the Prince when the Prince is here. Now that the Prince is gone, His Majesty likes an illegitimate son. An illegitimate son who doesn't even know who his mother's family is, and even his direct descendant Zhu Yunxi has been abandoned, and His Highness is even more unconvinced, right?"

Zhu Rui was indeed like this and was very unconvinced. Why did his father prefer Zhu Xuan so much?

Ever since he was a child, his father would give Zhu Xuan whatever he wanted.

Their real sons are far inferior to Zhu Biao's illegitimate son. They may be some kind of bastard, not of their royal blood at all.

But it is undeniable that Zhu Xuan is indeed very strong.

Not only his political and military abilities, but also other abilities, such as science, business, etc., far surpassed all the princes and grandsons. Thinking of this, Zhu Xuan felt that it was not unreasonable for Zhu Xuan to be favored. After all, his ability In front of you.

But an illegitimate child, why should he?
  As the current head of the vassal king, Zhu Rui has never received that much attention even if he asked himself.

"I knew that His Majesty was very unwilling to do so."

Yao Guangxiao observed Zhu Xi's expression, laughed, and spoke very directly. He was not worried at all that Zhu Xi would become angry and kill him.

Zhu Xi's face was a bit ferocious, but after a long time, he sighed and said: "So what? The overall situation has been decided. None of us, the vassal kings, are the opponents of the illegitimate son, haha..."

He also laughed at himself.

He had already seen the power of Zhu Xuan's new army.

Not only can he fight on land, but he can also fight on water. He has mastered the most advanced technology and weapons, which is enough to run rampant in the Ming Dynasty, even if he seizes the throne, there will be no problem.
