Daming prepares the emperor

"Prince?" The captain was stunned, and the guards standing there were also stunned.

Daotong stared at Lu Jinai with wide eyes, and almost fell the poisoned wine in his hand to the ground.

"Why did Mr. Lu come to Panyu County to be the magistrate?" After being surprised, Wang Baozhong asked a question carefully.

He was very impressed with Lu Jin'ai, not only because of Zhu Biao's special attitude, but also because Lu Jin'ai's temperament, words and deeds were really not like ordinary officials, and it was hard to forget after seeing her.

Why did such a person suddenly give up the opportunity to stay with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, give up the fat job of the town demon secretary, and go to such a remote place to be a small official?

Was he rejected, or did he have a deeper plan?

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wang Baozhong's mind for a moment, and he was keenly aware that the water in Panyu had become more muddy.

In a small county, now there are not only Lord Hou, but also the prince's cronies.Lord Hou wrote a letter to report the magistrate, and the sage ordered his death, but the magistrate was wronged. If it is an ordinary injustice case, it is nothing more than a pity, but there are countless injustice cases in the world, how could it be worse than this one.

But with this person in front of him, there is a chance to reverse the unjust case. If Dao Tong dies, and the Holy One knows that he has made a mistake, who will be held accountable?What is the prince's attitude?Can the Marquis of Yongjia still settle down?Did anyone from Huaixi and Zhedong intervene?If it was their handwriting, he would know the character of the prince. His Majesty dotes on the prince and has a violent temper. Once he finds out, he will pull out the carrot and bring up the mud...

Wang Baozhong was in the palace, and he only relied on intuition and wisdom to infer, but he also guessed the cause and result of the matter to a great extent, which shows that he is intelligent and steady.

The big waves in the court are often small splashes at the beginning, but in the end, even three princes and nine ministers can be shot to death. If you don't step carefully, even an eunuch will be involved, and there will be no place for burial.

"I applied for a transfer order from the Ministry of Officials. It was Eunuch Wei who helped me. I originally planned to learn governance experience here."

Lu Jin'ai saw Wang Baozhong's concerns at a glance, and immediately hinted that she had not lost Zhu Biao's trust, and was backed by Wang Baozhong's immediate superior, Wei Zhongde, and then made a meeting ceremony, revealing her actions and plans: "Dare to ask your father-in-law?" , Your Majesty and Your Highness, have you seen the memorabilia I presented together with Lord Dao?"

Wang Baozhong was honest and honest, understood what he meant, and replied: "I don't know about this, I only have this copy of the imperial decree."

"...Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The crown prince has been very busy recently." Mentioning this, Wang Baozhong and You Rongyan said, "They are busy learning how to deal with political affairs with the Holy Majesty, and they spend every day in Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall."

"Is it really irreparable?" Lu Jinxin was burning with love, "Elder-in-law must have guessed it, Lord Dao is not wrong at all, if there is a mistake, the mistake is that we have not fought against the Marquis of Yongjia and the Luo family, and we cannot let His Majesty know the truth. Is it a capital offense?"

Wang Baozhong looked at the captain, wanting to hear what he meant.

The captain of the Guard Division barely recovered his senses: "Although this matter was unexpected, the imperial decree is the imperial decree. Let alone granting death to one person, even if it is granting hundreds of thousands of deaths, I will definitely do it."

"Your Majesty is infallible." Wang Baozhong said, "Mr. Lu, if you have something to tell the Crown Prince, I can pass it on. As for what happened today, I only accept the imperial decree. If Your Majesty blames you in the future, I will never complain. A person who is loyal to the emperor, Mr. Lu, you will not understand this truth."

Only then did Daotong know the background of Lu Jin'ai, and said with relief, "Brother Lu, you have a bright future ahead of you, so don't worry about me anymore. After I die, you will be the magistrate of Panyu, whether it's with Lord Hou Friendship, if you continue to write, I am happy for you, and things will be smooth if things are slow, I believe in your character."

"I'll die with you." Lu Jin'ai said, and immediately looked at Wang Baozhong, "The father-in-law must have brought more than one glass of poisoned wine, right?"

"Ah?" Wang Baozhong didn't expect such a situation, no matter how deep the city was, he couldn't help but change his face, "Mr. Lu, what do you mean? Why do you make things difficult for us?"

"I don't want to embarrass you." Lu Jinai shook his head. "I just want to die. I live in this world. I'm struggling everywhere and seeking perfection all the time. What's the point? Daotong and I are friends of gentlemen. Why not, if you have to tell me the reason, I am willing to sacrifice my life to gain His Highness's attention and save the people of Panyu. As for His Highness's kindness, I can only repay it in the next life."

Wang Baozhong frowned and said sharply: "Mr. Lu, I respect you and call you Mr., but this is not the reason for you to be aggressive and use the name of straight fighting to force you to change the king's life!"

"How do you say that?" Lu Jinai said, "My business has nothing to do with Eunuch."

"You!" Wang Baozhong was trembling with anger, "Mr. Lu, don't do something bad for everyone on the spur of the moment."

The captain stared closely at Lu Jin'ai, and secretly waved his hands to the soldiers behind him. Those soldiers secretly pulled out the rope from their waists, and only waited for an order, they rushed forward to tie him up.

Lu Jin'ai observed their secret actions from the corner of his eye, bent down abruptly, took away Daotong's wine glass, and held it in front of him by herself: "Elder-in-law, I don't want to disobey the edict, it's just the imperial edict. There is no specific time for giving death, so why not wait a little longer?"

"..." Wang Baozhong didn't know what to do when he thought of the scene where the crown prince and Lu Jinai were talking and laughing, and Wei Zhongde's usual instructions to him, "When do you want to wait?"

"It's noon!" Daotong rushed to say, "If you die at noon, you won't be angry, and you won't turn criminals into ghosts."

"Okay, that's what you said." Seeing that Lu Jin'ai was about to speak again, Wang Baozhong rushed to settle the words, "This is also in line with Tianhe."

Dao Tong gave Lu Jin'ai a beseeching look, and Lu Jin'ai knew that what he did just now was indeed inappropriate, and he was afraid that the two sides would be bored, so he closed his eyes and did not look at him, and said bitterly: "Then it will be noon. Bar."

There is no difference between noon and now. What variables can there be in such a short period of time?Wang Baozhong felt relieved, and after letting go of his responsibilities, he felt guilty about regaining the high ground. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to a soldier: "Please buy some good wine and food."

Daotong smiled wryly, "Thank you, father-in-law, for the beheading meal."

"What kind of skin is this drum?" At this time, in the warehouse of the demon priest in Yingtianfu Town, Zhu Biao was picking out big drums. He held a folding fan in his hand and used it to knock on different drum heads from time to time, listening carefully to the sound of the drum. The difference, "Is the cowhide better."

Changsun Wanguan said: "This minister doesn't understand, but we still have deer skin, donkey skin, fox skin, rabbit skin, tiger skin and elephant skin, etc. If His Highness is not satisfied, I think we can get a hundred animal skins." .”

"That's not necessary." Zhu Biao said, "Although the animal skin sounds good, it's not just a name. What I want is that the sound is bright and loud enough."

"Then... I think cowhide is the best." Changsun Wanguan didn't know what Zhu Biao wanted to do with the selection of drums, but he still worked hard to make a batch. , due to internal injuries, died not long ago, its son donated the body to Zhenyaosi, in exchange for a chance to enter Fengdu."

"Very well, that's all." Zhu Biao touched the big drum that was taller than the two, "You find someone to take it to the gate of the Meridian Gate for me."

"Yes."

The two walked back along the corridor, and the gorgeous peach blossoms in the sky became more and more coquettish in midsummer. Taoist monks walked through it from time to time among the falling flowers. Follow the progress of Ming Dynasty.

"How is Lu Jin'ai?" Several small book offices hurried past with paperwork, somehow, Zhu Biao suddenly thought of Lu Jin'ai, "How is he doing with you?"

"Lu Shengyu?" Changsun Wanguan said, "Lu Shengyu is no longer working here."

"Where did he go?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Lu Shengyu worked as a clerk here for a period of time. Later, he said that he had understood the affairs of the town demon division. He felt that this place was not suitable for him. He wanted to go out and find a place where he could realize his ambition to study, so he applied to the Ministry of Officials. The order is gone."

"Oh." Zhu Biao remembered that Wei Zhongde seemed to have mentioned this matter. At that time, he was busy calculating the money and grain of the household department, so he agreed casually and followed them. He didn't expect such a thing. This Lu Jinai I really couldn't stay idle, "Where has he been transferred?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I heard that it is Panyu, Guangzhou." Changsun Wanguan recalled, "Lu Sheng wanted to say that the county magistrate there is also a good official, and it is worth learning from him."

The eldest grandson Wanguan said that these were originally intended to please and amuse Zhu Biao, and by the way told his colleagues to be obedient, but he did not expect that the prince's face would be very bad after hearing this, and he asked sharply uncharacteristically: "Lu Jinai said that he is also a good official? "

"Return to Your Highness, Lu Sheng wanted to say so, that's what he said."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment: "Prepare the horse for me."

The generals who were able to serve at the gate of the Forbidden City were all sharp-eyed, and found that the prince seemed to be in a hurry today, and none of them talked nonsense, but let him go immediately, and took the initiative to save time for him.

All the way was unimpeded, and Zhu Biao quickly returned to the Wenhua Hall. Wei Zhongde in the hall was wiping the tables and chairs. Seeing Zhu Biao, he knelt down: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Here's an errand for you." Seeing that there was no ink in the inkstone, Zhu Biao simply used magic to write on the paper because there were only Liu Chubai and Wei Zhongde here, "Go to the Liuke Gallery to see if the booklet that Panyu handed over has been detained. If you find it, bring it back to me immediately."

"Yes." Wei Zhongde didn't ask any questions, and took the order to leave.

Zhu Biao wrote a decree in the vernacular, looked up the entire Forbidden City, found Zhu Yuanzhang's trace, and rushed to the Wuying Hall immediately.

Should I eat at my sister's place in the evening, or should I take my sister out to eat?

With or without a label?That kid is getting older, it's better not to cling to the girl, we have to have some space to be alone with the girl...

But will the girl ask about Biaoer?

It was rare for Zhu Yuanzhang to be disinterested in work, so he took a short errand, leaning on the back of the chair in a daze, dripping the ink from the brush in his hand on the ground, staining the fine woolen blanket black, Huang Xi stood aside, seeing pain in his eyes In my heart, I didn't dare to remind me aloud, I felt uncomfortable all over, and I wished I could use my clothes to pick it up.

"father!"

"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and jumped up from the chair, "What's the matter, what's the matter? Huang Xi, go out and have a look, is it because we are calling you? We seem to have heard something."

"Yes, servant girl, this is..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Biao had already entered the inner hall, hurriedly walked to the imperial case, and slapped the paper in his hand in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"what is this?"

"Father." Zhu Biao said, "Hurry up, it may be too late, give me a seal quickly."

As soon as he heard that it was too late, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask why it was too late, he grabbed the jade seal next to him and stamped it on Zhu Biao.
