Rebellious boy Zhou Chen's words suddenly made the atmosphere awkward.

Xia Yuanji also looked at Prince Han, with a teasing smile on his lips.

Prince Han, what Xun Ru said is quite right. When it comes to a rich family, who in the civil and military circles of this dynasty can be better than you, the prince?

His Royal Highness the King of Han wants the courtiers to take the initiative to deposit money in the bank and set an example for all people in the world, so as to improve the credibility of the Ming Dynasty Bank.

In that case, why doesn't His Highness the King of Han first set an example for the ministers? After all, this Ming Dynasty Money Bank plan is also the hard work of His Highness the King of Han!

Zhu Gaoxu: ???

what?

Taking advantage of the situation?

Want to touch my little treasury?

Prince Han smiled strangely, Who said that I am the richest man in the Ming Dynasty? You will understand in a few days.

But this money should be saved, and it should be saved instead of donated. What are you afraid of?

Zhu Chong... ahem, Zhu Ba, go and count the palace's cash, keep what you need on weekdays, and deposit the rest into the bank!

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji and Zhou Chen both gave him a thumbs up.

Your Majesty is righteous!

Zhu Gaoxu smiled calmly when he saw this. He knew in his heart that in the entire Ming Dynasty, the richest person, apart from the emperor Zhu Laosi, was not him, the prince of Han, but the emperor's eagle dog!

On the other hand, Xia Yuanji and Zhou Chen were a little confused, their faces full of suspicion.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, who else can there be besides you, the Prince of Han?

However, at this moment, the housekeeper Zhu Ba walked in hurriedly.

Your Majesty, Yushi Lu is here.

Well... just bring it in.

Censor Lu?

Who is this?

What did the King of Han want to do again?

Looking along the line of sight, Xia Yuanji frowned immediately after seeing the person clearly.

The person who came was none other than Lu Mu, the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This man was first appointed as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He visited Jiangbei, Lianghuai and other places. He is loved by the people and respected by both the government and the public.

But why did Prince Han invite Lu Tiemian to his mansion?

You must know that in the early years of Yongle, many of the officials and captains under the King of Han violated the law and did bad things. The courtiers dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. Only the iron-faced Rumulu impeached him in court. Although the emperor did not accuse the King of Han, Rumu did. His reputation for uprightness shocked the court.

In other words, there was enmity between Lu Mu and the King of Han!

“My subordinate, Imperial Censor Zuo Qiandu Censor Lu Mu, has met His Highness the King of Han!”

As soon as Lu Tiemian entered the lobby, he bowed and saluted with neither humility nor arrogance.

He is a naturally upright person and cannot tolerate sand in his eyes.

At that time, Lu Muchu was the censor. Seeing that the subordinate Xiaowei of the Han Dynasty King Zhu Gaoxu was committing lawlessness, he immediately publicly impeached him. However, the emperor did not accuse the Han Dynasty King of Han Dynasty.

Although Lu Mu gained a reputation as a virtuous man who was upright and outspoken, he also suffered from isolation. Due to his own personality, he was depressed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It was not until the King of Han Dynasty reported the corruption case of Liu Guan and others that Gu Zuo became the censor of Zuodu, the Imperial Procuratorate, and vigorously prosecuted and promoted loyal and outspoken straight ministers. Lu Mu was promoted in his official career and became the fourth rank. of court officials.

If we really want to talk about it, there is also a kind of kindness from Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

It's just that Lu Mu has always disliked the arrogant and domineering Prince Han, so there was no politeness in his words at this moment.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't take it seriously and raised his hand to signal him to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mu was unmoved and asked seriously: May I ask why His Highness the King of Han called me here? If there is nothing important, I am busy with official duties and will leave first.

From the moment he received the invitation, Lumu felt a little worried.

He didn't understand why Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu invited him here.

Because of the strong support of the Han prince, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has now greatly increased, and a wave of anti-corruption has been launched. All of them are keeping a close eye on the officials and courtiers, gearing up to do something big!

He Lumu is no exception. As a middle-level leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is even more eager to make achievements than those censors!

After all, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has lost all its face, and they need to earn it back on their own!

Hearing Lu Mu's words, Xia Yuanji frowned. He was afraid that the King of Han would suddenly go berserk and directly kill this loyal man.

Instead of being angry, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, As expected of Lu Tiemian, who is loved by the people. He just has character and I like him.

His Royal Highness the King of Han has given you too much praise.

That's all, let's get down to business. Zhu Gaoxu was too lazy to continue talking nonsense and pointed out his purpose directly, The king intends to let you serve as the general envoy. Are you willing?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and even Lu Mu himself was stunned.

The general envoy is a third-rank official and one of the nine great ministers!

The General Affairs Department was established by Emperor Taizu Gao as the mouthpiece department of the emperor to prevent the dictatorship of Zhongshu Sheng. Since the establishment of the General Affairs Department had a special mission, its highest officer, the General Affairs Envoy, was given a special status and was called Jiuqing. One of them is after the Censor of Zuodu in the Imperial Procuratorate and before the Minister of Dali Temple.

The General Affairs Secretary is responsible for receiving internal and external chapters, filing reports, and refutations. In all discussions on major political affairs, prisons, and meetings with ministers of civil and military affairs, the General Affairs Envoy can participate.

All public and private documents issued by the General Affairs Department will be heard by the General Affairs Department, and all official documents and documents issued by the yamen in Beijing will be verified and corrected by the General Affairs Department.

Therefore, the General Secretary can be called the mouthpiece of the emperor and does have the privilege of being the mouthpiece secretary. The General Secretary has the power to meet the emperor at any time, so it is reasonable for him to be listed as the Jiuqing.

Why would Prince Han give such a privileged position to Lu Mu, who was at odds with him?

Xia Yuanji was confused, and Lu Mu was even more confused, no longer as calm as before.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Lu Tiemian, who had a Chinese character face, and that calm and confident face, even he was a little frightened.

Lu Mu once toured Jiangbei, Lianghuai and other places to report to the public on law enforcement, uncovered many corrupt officials, investigated many unjust, false and wrong cases, and vindicated the wrongdoers.

Such literati are truly loyal and virtuous, dedicated to serving the country, serving the people, and showing no mercy when investigating corrupt officials!

Although Yu Qian, the former general envoy, has quite a lot of political achievements, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net However, the amount of corruption and bribery he has taken is staggering. I am going to let him go to Old Port with Yang Shiqi to govern.

The Secretary of General Affairs is the mouthpiece of the emperor, and cannot be left unattended for a day, so I want to talk to you, Lu Mutong, first.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but sigh.

The general envoy Yu Qian was also a veteran of three dynasties. He made many suggestions that benefited the country and the people, which brought great convenience to the people's lives.

Now, because of corruption and bribery, he was liquidated by the King of Han and sent to Nanyang. It's really... he is not safe at the end of the year!

Lumu was still thinking, but saw the King of Han continue to speak: Although you Lumulu Tiemian are well-known as a loyal and upright minister, I also believe that you will not take corruption or bribery, but there is a problem. I want to Let me ask you first.

Hearing this, Lu Mu blurted out without thinking: Excuse me, Your Highness, King of Han.

Lu Mu, are you loyal to the emperor, the Ming Dynasty, and the people, or are you loyal to Cheng Zhu and interests?

This Lu Tiemian will never take corruption or bribery, and Zhu Gaoxu knows this very well.

But not being corrupt does not mean that he is a good minister of the emperor!

Cheng and Zhu had monopolized officialdom and promoted for many years, and the civil bureaucracy they had formed was already deeply entangled.

The Secretary of General Administration is also the mouthpiece of the emperor. In the future, Zhu Gaoxu will attack Cheng Zhu, but he does not want to see Lu Mu standing in the way!

However, when his question fell into the ears of the three of them, it was like a thunderclap!

Loyal to the emperor or to Cheng and Zhu?

This was a difficult question to answer for the three people present.

After a long silence, Lu Tiemian answered in the affirmative.

When I eat the emperor's salary, I should be loyal to the emperor!

Okay! Lu Tiemian, remember what you said yourself. After the meeting tomorrow, you will be the new General Secretary!
