I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

So, when the emperor didn't have a good person, even if he was as kind as Zhu Pangpang, when these ministers violated the interests of the royal family and the fate of the Ming Dynasty, they would be very black-bellied.

Ji Gang's report went straight to the middle of the night.

By the time Zhu Pangpang came to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison again, the middle and low-level officials here had already taken turns.

A group of Jinyi guards who were executing the execution, in this cold and twelfth lunar month, were so tired that they were sweating profusely, their cotton jackets were thrown off, and they were greeting the people on the rack with their shirts off.

"Everyone, it's too late for Gu to come, what are you doing, why don't you hurry up and let Gu go, and let you down."

As soon as Zhu Pangpang entered the cell, he rushed up anxiously, stopped a few Jinyi guards who were going to execute him, and angrily ordered the Jinyi guards to put the officials who had been beaten miserably off the shelf.

"His Royal Highness!"

An official who was protected by Zhu Pangpang, looked at Zhu Pangpang who didn't care about his bloody filth and protected him, and was moved to tears.

"It's okay, it's okay, no one dares to hurt all the ministers!"

"Why are you still in a daze? Didn't you hear what His Royal Highness said? Why don't you put the adults down quickly."

Just as Zhu Pangpang appeased the officials, Ji Gang seemed to know that Zhu Pangpang was coming, and hurried over, letting the overwhelmed Jinyi guards quickly help the miserable officials down.

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness Jin An!"

On the way back to the cell while helping the injured official, the officials who had been sitting cross-legged without saying a word, or lying on the ground moaning softly, got up and came to the fence to say hello to Zhu Pangpang.

"Let all the ministers be wronged!"

Zhu Pangpang also nodded repeatedly to the officials who greeted him with a distressed face, and sometimes when he saw the injured and stubborn to get up, he quickly comforted him softly.

"His Royal Highness!"

When they came to San Yang's cell, the three who had stood up and waited quickly saluted and greeted him.

"You guys, alas!"

Helping the injured official to sit down, Zhu Pangpang looked at Sanyang and shook his head helplessly.

The three of them also lowered their heads in shame.

"Your Highness, you are here, has the Emperor already..."

Yang Pu asked tentatively, but Zhu Pangpang shook his head.

"It's not that you don't know what kind of personality the emperor has. His decisions can't be changed so easily."

"I came here today to discuss with you, or you agree first, and after a few years, I will help you find a way to cancel these two policies."

What Zhu Pangpang said was to tell everyone, you agree first, let this pass, and then find a way to cancel these two policies when the old man is gone and I am the master of the house in the future.

Some people were a little moved when they heard the words, and felt that the method proposed by Zhu Pangpang was really good.

After all, the old man is so old, and he promised to pass on to the crown prince in the next year. As long as they survive the past few years, when the old man is gone, and His Royal Highness is so close to their civil servants, it will not be easy to change these two policies. .

Some people think it's a good idea, but more people think deeper.

If the people behind Zhu Pangpang also treat civil servants kindly, this temporary measure is indeed a good one.

But the problem is that the successor behind Zhu Pangpang is Zhu Zhangui, His Royal Highness, who is the founder of the new school, and even the demise of the Kong family has an inexplicable relationship with this His Royal Highness.

Now it is said that the crown prince is in charge, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is His Royal Highness the grandson who decides the future direction of Ming Dynasty.

Many of the national policies of the Ming Dynasty today were proposed by His Highness the Grandson. In fact, they had already found out clearly that the officials and gentry pay the grain together, and His Highness the Grandson was the first to propose it.

With the influence of His Highness the grandson on the prince, it is hard for them to believe that the prince in front of them can change the things that have been settled in the future.

"His Royal Highness, it's not that we are ignorant of the truth, it's that these two strategies are closely related, and we have something to hide."

In the end, it was Yang Shiqi who said the words of rejection.

Zhu Pangpang glanced at everyone, shook his head helplessly, and pointed at Yang Shiqi.

"I owe you all, so just make a fuss, if one day I disappear, you won't even have a shelter from the wind and rain."

The civil servants around all lowered their heads in shame, and Yang Shiqi was even more guilty.

They had already heard from the prince's words that the prince planned to stand up for them and even blocked the prince's position.

"Your Majesty is ashamed to treat His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone fell to the ground and lowered their heads in shame.

Zhu Pangpang waved his hands helplessly, turned around and walked out of the cell, and said to Ji Gang who had been following him, "Don't embarrass your lords, they are all ministers of the humerus of the imperial court, and they are too old to bear torment."

"These two days are also in time for the Chinese New Year. They may not be able to go home for a reunion. Even if it is to save face, their family members can come in to see them and talk to them. It will also reassure the family."

Hearing Zhu Pangpang's confession, the officials who were still kneeling on the ground felt even more ashamed, and some of them were so moved that they quietly wiped their tears with their hands.

Ji Gang glanced at the civil servants who were kneeling in a large circle, and bowed his hands in salute.

"My humble minister Ji Gang takes orders."

Zhu Pangpang left, and returned to the Imperial Palace in the middle of the night. Instead of returning to the East Palace, he went directly to the Nuan Pavilion where the old man lived, and knelt at the door in the middle of the night.

The news spread throughout the capital on the second day.

In order to save all the civil servants, His Highness the Crown Prince knelt down and begged the Emperor to pardon them all, and now he has been kneeling for half a night and half a day, but it is a pity that the Emperor did not have any soft-heartedness, and he did not even respond to the Crown Prince.

When the news was brought into Jinyiwei Imperial Prison by the family members of the civil servants, a group of civil servants who saw their family members in a good mood were so moved that they were so heartbroken, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the palace, shouting I am ashamed of the prince's kindness.

Chapter 296: Every move is full of calculations, every step is a trap!

"Prince, you come forward a little bit, this servant opens the door, you are a little warmer."

At the door of the Nuan Pavilion where the old man lived, Little Snot looked at Zhu Pangpang who was shivering from the cold, and quietly opened the door distressedly, letting the warm air inside come out a little, and at the same time quietly asked Zhu Pangpang to come forward a little more.

Zhu Pangpang, with cold legs and pain, looked left and right, and saw that the guards and eunuchs guarding the gate looked up at the sky, and moved forward in a concealed manner, and got close to the place where the heater came out.

"It's really comfortable, but it froze me to death. It's really cold today. If I had known that they would do this in autumn, I wouldn't have to suffer."

"Hurry up and get me some water to drink, I'm dying of thirst."

Moving to a warm place, Zhu Pangpang licked his chapped lips, telling Little Snotty to hurry up and prepare something to drink.

Little Snot responded, and hurried into the house, and came out after a while holding a bright yellow teacup.

"Drink this ginseng tea, the emperor specially reserved it for you."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Pangpang responded happily, and was about to reach out to pick it up, when he thought of something and quickly gave Little Snot a wink.

Little Snot understood instantly, and said to the guards around him: "What time is it, why hasn't the food from the imperial dining room arrived yet, the emperor is hungry, can they take care of it, you go and urge! "

The guards were also human spirits, they responded loudly, and disappeared in a flash.

In fact, they didn't go to the imperial dining room at all, they just wandered outside and came back.

Who in the whole palace didn't know that since the concubines and concubines entered the palace, the emperor's mouth has become more sloppy, and he no longer eats the food from the imperial dining room, which is delivered every day by his grandsons-in-law.

Little Snot asked them to go to the imperial dining room, just to let them leave first and give the prince a chance to drink ginseng soup.

Of course, the more important thing is to let them look around and drive away those peeping boys.

After several people left, Zhu Pangpang took the ginseng tea and drank it with a gulp.

"My mother is dead, but I'm so thirsty, I knew I was going to put some water on me last night."

He drank it dry in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and Zhu Pangpang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Prince, you may have to hold on for another day. Your Majesty said that this is too short. It will take at least two days and two nights, otherwise the civil servants will not believe it."

He secretly took out snacks from his bosom, and handed them to Zhu Pangpang for him to eat. Little Snot was vigilant about his surroundings, and whispered the old man's words.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm prepared."

"Concubine An is here!"

Zhu Pangpang just stuffed a snack into his mouth, and when he was about to take the next one, Little Snot suddenly withdrew his hand and stood beside him.

When Zhu Pangpang heard that someone was coming, he quickly swallowed the snack in his mouth with staring eyes, and continued to kneel down pretending to be weak.

"I have seen Concubine An!"

Little Snot saluted a woman with an anxious expression.

"Is the emperor here? I have something important to report."

Maybe Concubine An was too impatient, she didn't salute Zhu Pangpang, she grabbed Little Snot, and asked the old man if it was convenient now.

Zhu Pangpang, who was kneeling aside, frowned slightly and said nothing.

Although this Concubine An is Zhu Di's woman, she is only a concubine after all, and she was brought up as a tribute from the foreign countries. She put it in the homes of ordinary people and has no status at all. When you see Zhu Pangpang, the eldest son, you must take the lead Salute, otherwise you will have to wear small shoes in the future.

But I don't know what happened to Concubine An today, she even forgot to salute Zhu Pangpang, and even stood in front of Zhu Pangpang, accepting Zhu Pangpang's kneeling salute indirectly.

That is to say, Zhu Pangpang is kind and kind. If it were replaced by the unparalyzed Han King Zhu Gaoxu, even if this woman was his father's woman, she would not live long.

A side concubine dared to ignore the eldest son, and even indirectly accepted the kneeling ceremony, if you don't die, whoever dies.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

Stretching out her hand to stop Concubine An, Little Snotty winked furiously, indicating that the other party was standing in the wrong position.

Anxious Concubine An froze for a moment, and then saw Zhu Pangpang kneeling behind her.

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Seeing that she was actually standing in front of the Crown Prince, and that the Crown Prince was still kneeling there, Concubine An was startled, and quickly knelt down to salute.

"What's the matter? I'm so anxious, have you consulted with the Crown Princess?"

Zhu Pangpang stretched out his hand to help, and vaguely reminded the aunt that the matter of the harem was left to his wife by the old man.

If it's something about the harem, go to my daughter-in-law, don't come here to pester the emperor.

Although Concubine An is from North Korea, she has been in the palace for a long time, unlike her niece who doesn't understand anything and makes trouble for her all day long.

"Returning to Your Highness, it's not a matter of the palace. It's our North Korea that was invaded by the Japanese. My brother wrote a letter. They can't hold on any longer and want to ask the emperor to send troops to rescue."

"Wo country!"

Zhu Pangpang frowned.

Zhu Pangpang is also very familiar with Japanese pirates. After all, before the navy was established in Ming Dynasty, the coastline was often harassed by Japanese pirates, and the imperial court knew that these Japanese pirates were very difficult to deal with.

"Go in quickly and talk to the emperor."

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Zhu Pangpang didn't talk to the other party too much, and asked the other party to go in quickly.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

The prince didn't care about his rudeness, Concubine An thanked her gratefully, got up and walked quickly into the Nuan Pavilion with the support of Xiaonai.

"Isn't the Wa country letting that stinky boy beat him up, why is it making trouble again now?"

It is no secret to the old man and Zhu Pangpang that Zhu Zhangui has engaged in the affairs of the Japanese country.

At first, Zhu Pangpang really didn't know. Later, when he saw that the navy was transporting silver from the Japanese country every day, Zhu Pangpang couldn't help his curiosity. He blocked Zhu Zhangui with a stick and asked where the money came from. source.

Zhu Zhangui was also quite vague about the matter of the country of Wa, and he only told Zhu Pangpang, because he discovered that there was a silver mine in the country of Wa, and when he took people to mine it, there was a conflict with the country of Wa, and the two sides fought.

As for the outcome of the battle, Zhu Pangpang could figure it out with his toes.

After all, money is transported to my home every day, and the Japanese country must have lost a lot.

As for how to lose, it is estimated that only the Wa people, their own sons, and the subordinates who went to the Wa country know.

Just as Zhu Pangpang was thinking about it, he hurried out with Concubine An's snotty nose who hadn't been in for a long time.

"What do you say?"

Zhu Pangpang held back the little snot.

It is a big deal to send troops to help other countries fight. As the prince in power, he must ask about it.

"The emperor asked the servants to find the grandson, and he didn't explain anything else."

Little Snotty replied, and hurriedly beckoned people to find Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui came very quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he rode over on a strange thing with two wheels.

"Father, are you okay, can you hold on?"

Zhu Zhangui, who rushed over, parked his bicycle and greeted his father first.
