Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

"Do you have a pen and paper here?"

Zhao Taichu didn't see him either, and asked after entering the door.

The general flag nodded again and again, and immediately fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Zhao Taichu spread out the paper, thought for a while, and wrote a letter.

After writing.

After Zhao Taichu waited for the ink to dry, he folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope that General Banner had already prepared.

"This letter, you go to the capital yourself and hand it to Lord Hou."

No need for Zhao Taichu to say, the confidant Zongqi knew that what Zhao Taichu was talking about was Yongchang Hou Lanyu.

Because the only person Zhao Qianhu could find Hou Ye directly was his adoptive father, Lan Yu.

After Zongqi received the handwritten letter with both hands.

Zhao Taichu did not forget to exhort:

"If my adoptive father asks about the things in this letter, you can say that a thousand households named He Li from Longxiangwei in the capital revealed the news to me..."

"Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it is better for foster father to know than not to know."

"You work harder today, and send it over overnight."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will see the reply letter from Lord Yifu!"

The general flag nodded and said:

"My subordinate understands."

After Zhao Taichu arranged this matter, there was no more entanglement in his heart, and when he thought that his future might be brighter in the future, he went home with a smile on his face.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Xiongying's grandfather and grandson rushed to Yangzhou City with a heavy heart after investigating the matter of the military households.

Wait to go back to the restaurant.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair with a dignified expression.

This trip to inspect, except for the extremely miserable homes of the three children.

The rest of the military households are not much better.

Ask carefully.

It was found that what happened to these military households was consistent with what was recorded in Li Munian's account book.

even.

There are also some things that Li Munian did not record.

Lao Zhu hadn't been so angry for a long time.

If it was in the imperial palace, he could immediately order the execution of thousands of households in Yangzhou Wei.

Zhu Xiongying saw his grandfather's anger.

He himself was very angry.

"Grandpa, now that the matter has been found out, there are thousands of households in Yangzhou Weiyi, in the fish and meat township, who deserve death for cheating."

"How to deal with them, Grandpa, have you thought about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said:

"Fall?"

"Of course they were all chopped off!"

"Not a single one!"

"These beasts are all scourges. How did our Daming raise such officers?"

Zhu Xiongying reminded:

"What about Marquis Yongchang?"

"This Zhao Taichu...is the adoptive son of Marquis Yongchang."

These words reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a serious face and said:

"My dear grandson, what do you think?"

"Sapphire is your uncle and grandpa after all... we will listen to you."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Xiongying said:

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If you don't follow the rules, you won't be able to achieve success."

"Although Marquis Yongchang is his grandson's uncle, if this matter is related to him, he must be punished according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Grandpa, you don't have to give me face about this."

Zhu Xiongying knew that Zhu Yuanzhang himself would not think so much.

The reason why he hesitated was also because of his own face.

As long as you explain it clearly, it is very simple.

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Lao Zhu laughed happily and said:

"What a 'state-owned state law, family has family rules'!"

"Good grandson, well said!"

"If your father had your fortitude, we wouldn't have to worry so much."

"If this happened to your father... He must have told us to let Lan Yu off this time because of the fact that Lan Yu is a relative of the emperor."

"But if we can spare him once or twice, can the people spare us?"

"Xiongying, remember, the decision you made today is the decision that a holy king should make!"

"Don't be like your father, he is kind in everything you do... Your father is very capable, but he is too good-tempered with his subordinates."

"The emperor of Ming Dynasty should keep the common people in his heart and put them first!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said:

"Grandson understands, grandson remembers."

After saying something.

The depression in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart also dissipated a lot.

He stood up from the chair, shook his sleeves, and said:

"When He Li comes back tomorrow, I will go to the military household with my grandfather. Let's buy some things for them. We can't watch them starve to death."

Zhu Xiongying fully agrees with this.

In the past today, I only brought two cakes, but there are too many starving families in the military households.

Even if those corrupt officials are killed, in a short period of time, these people will not be able to get food at all.

If left alone, it is estimated that there will be many human tragedies.

Zhu Xiongying was a little worried and said:

"But Grandpa, do we have enough silver taels?"

"That's the food that hundreds of families need...maybe the same is true for other villages, so more food is needed."

Old Zhu chuckled and said:

"We didn't say we needed to spend the money ourselves."

"Don't worry my dear grandson, when He Li comes back... we will have money."

Chapter 77 He Qianhu, This Is All Our Wealth

night.

In the Yongchang Hou Mansion in the capital, someone knocked on the small door of the backyard.

After knocking for a while, a night watchman finally opened the door.

The boy sized up the visitor and found that he looked familiar, so he asked:

"you are?"

"I am the general banner under Zhao Taichu, Hou Ye's righteous son Zhao Qianhu," the person who knocked on the door replied, "Zhao Qianhu asked me to send a letter to Hou Ye, and please reply as soon as possible. Send it back."

The boy is a little bit worried:

"I remember you, you came to deliver things before..."

"But it's already this time, Lord Hou has already rested."

"Our Lord Hou hates being disturbed when he is resting."

"Why don't you come back tomorrow morning."

Seeing that the boy was about to close the door.

The Chief Banner blocked the wooden door with his hands, and hurriedly said:

"Our thousand households have said that this matter is extremely urgent, please be sure to know about it."

"If the good deeds of Master Hou are ruined, then neither of us will be able to eat and walk around..."

"For your convenience, please pass it on."

The boy scratched his head, he came to Yongchang Hou Mansion not long ago, he was afraid of doing something wrong.

Being intimidated by Zongqi, he immediately became a little scared.

"Forget it. I'll report to the steward. As for whether the steward is willing to send this letter... I can't control it."

After finishing speaking, the young man took the letter and walked into the courtyard.

And the general flag stood guard at the small gate, waiting for a reply.

Soon.

The letter was passed to the old butler of the Hou Mansion.

The old butler sat on the chair, glanced at the envelope, it was stated that the person who wrote the letter was Zhao Taichu from Yangzhou Wei.

The old housekeeper knew that this person was a foster son that Lord Hou had adopted casually before, and by virtue of his relationship with Lord Hou, he could be said to be a powerful figure in Yangzhou Wei.

But for this person, it's not worth disturbing Lord Hou to rest.

There are hundreds of adopted sons and nephews of Lord Hou. If every one of them can wake up Lord Hou when he is resting, wouldn't this Yongchang Hou Mansion be messed up?

But just when the old housekeeper was about to put away the envelope and show it to Lan Yu tomorrow.

Suddenly, a servant came to pass the message, saying that Lan Yu had called him to do something.

See here.

The old butler immediately took the letter and came to Lan Yu's study.

"Master Hou, you called me?"

Lan Yu was looking at the military book in the study.

Seeing him coming, he nodded, then pointed to the chair next to him and said:

"sit down."

"I'm going to go out in two days. The prince has ordered me to inspect the recent training situation of the capital's battalions."

"During these days, the crown prince is in charge. I have to be diligent, and I won't be going home for the next few days."

"Fuchu, you have to look after me and don't make trouble for me."

The old butler listened, nodded repeatedly and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, with this old slave here, everything in the mansion will be arranged in an orderly manner."
