Chapter 39 What does the grandson mean?
Wei Ze thought for a while and said to Zhu Song: "Your Highness, there is a saying you must have heard, that is, to raise the enemy and respect yourself."
"Your Highness is indeed right. The officials also think that these bandits must have contacted local officials, otherwise they would not have been in constant correspondence."
"But this matter is now beyond the scope of the authority of the lower officials. You must always tell him or her Majesty or the Crown Prince."
Zhu Song remained silent after hearing this.
Now that Shandong Province has been killed by his father, last time he went north to Liaodong, Zhu Yuanzhang saw with his own eyes how bad the people were doing. It would be strange if he didn't kill anyone. At this moment, he wanted to start verifying from officials from all over Shandong Province.
Increased difficulty.
In addition, my father is now in a semi-retired state, and there is no major event in the court recently. My father has been keeping his body in the process. This is good for the recovery of his body without working, so most of the political affairs have fallen into
It was in the hands of the crown prince.
Nowadays, officials hardly go to the East Palace and go to the East Palace if they have any questions. The East Palace has now become a small court of the Ming Dynasty.
But if this matter is not investigated, with Zhang Tiezhu's simple and honest and violent temperament, I am afraid that this matter will always be a thorn in his heart. Wouldn't it hurt the heart of this honest Shandong man?
"I understand, thank you Lord Wei."
Wei Ze waved his hand: "It's been delayed so much time, and the officials are already embarrassed. How can they still bear the thanks from Your Highness?"
Zhu Song left the Ministry of Justice. After a while, Qi Tai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, rushed over from the Ministry of War.
"Mr. Wei, did King Han pass by just now?"
Wei Ze nodded: "Yes, His Highness Han has come just now, and this matter has already been sent back. If His Highness Grandpa kept asking the officials to hold them down, how could he delay so much
What a time?"
Qi Tai heard that Wei Ze had many complaints, but he was not the one who was willing to make more money on these details.
"Mr. Wei, the Crown Prince is far-sighted. How can you and I guess his vision be understood? Everyone is a minister. As long as you do your best for your Highness and do your part well!"
Wei Ze could only shake his head and sigh, what else could he say? Seeing that Wei Ze was so ignorant, Qi Tai was too lazy to continue talking to him. Anyway, this matter was finally suppressed.
Now His Highness Han cannot find His Highness the Grand His Highness, if you go to find His Highness, you must be owed a favor.
...
Zhu Song left the Ministry of Justice and rode on a horse, and did not leave or move. He sat on the horse and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't help but feel his love for Zhang Tiezhu in his heart, so he got off the horse and went straight to the East Palace.
At this moment, the ministers had already discussed political affairs and left the East Palace.
I happened to meet His Highness Han, and the ministers rushed to say hello to this recently popular prince.
His Highness Han responded to the greetings of the great masters of civil and military affairs one by one, which was very courteous.
After greeting these civil and military ministers, Zhu Song still knelt at the gate of the East Palace as usual, but at this moment, the eunuch in charge of the East Palace hurriedly ran out.
"Oh, Your Highness, Your Highness, you don't have to kneel at the palace gate. Last time you knelt at the palace gate, Your Highness, Your Highness, got angry with the servants. Your Highness, Your Highness, said, Your Highness, Your Highness, If Your Highness, You're here, you don't need it.
Report, just go in."
Zhu Song was stunned after hearing this.
"How can this work?"
"Your Highness, your lord, you are pitiful, even if you are the slaves, you can just go in directly. Otherwise, His Highness the Grandpa would have to punish us later."
Seeing that he said this, Zhu Song couldn't continue to kneel down and went straight into the East Palace.
When Zhu Yunwen heard the sound outside, he had already put down the memorial in his hand. When Zhu Song entered the door, he was about to kneel down when he saw the grandson, but Zhu Yunwen stepped forward and helped him up.
"Uncle Twenty doesn't have to be so polite. In addition to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, according to the family ceremony, I will kneel down when I see Uncle Twenty. Even if we do not kneel down, why don't you kneel down or not?"
Zhu Song didn't want to continue to be pretentious, so he had to bow and say, "I will follow the instructions of the grandson!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and took Zhu Song's hand: "Uncle Twenty is right. Come on, come on, sit down, come on, come on, give me tea to Uncle Twenty, Longjing in front of the rain!"
After the two sat down, the servant served tea and retreated. At this moment, only Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Song were left in the room.
Zhu Yunwen is almost asking me to write something on his face and looks at Uncle Twenty with a smile.
Zhu Song said: "Your Highness, I came for a private matter. Chen asked the Minister of Justice Wei Zewei to help me a favor. I have a soldier under my command. He wrote letters and sent money to my house every year.
But his mother and his elder brother had already died, and the money had been taken away for so many years, but the letters were still coming and going."
"Mr. Wei said that this was done by bandits near the hometown of the soldier under me. Perhaps there were officials who were covering up. Master Wei said that this was beyond his authority and involved administration, so I came here to seek the best.
Sun helps!”
Zhu Yunwen actually knew about this a long time ago, and he asked Wei Ze not to notify Zhu Song, but at this moment he still said seriously with the expression he had just known.
"So that's it, Uncle Twenty, this is not a private matter. No matter which vassal king, the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty are all soldiers. My Ming Dynasty soldiers have been bullied. We are the grandson and the prince, if so,
If you don’t stand up for them, who will stand up for them? Wouldn’t you be so heartless about the soldiers who work hard for our Zhu family?”
"This matter must not be stopped here, we must investigate! We must investigate it hard! Whether it is the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Personnel, we must investigate it. We must arrest corrupt officials who should be arrested, and all the bandits who should be suppressed will be suppressed. We must raise the bandits to be respected.
Those who help the officials know that they harm the people and deceive the superiors and conceal their subordinates!”
Zhu Song breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Although he owed this favor again, fortunately, Taisun did not take this opportunity to propose other conditions.
Zhu Song stood up and was about to thank him, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.
"Uncle Twenty, don't rush to thank me first. My nephew also has something to ask Uncle Twenty!"
Zhu Song lowered his head, closed his eyes and felt a little sad. Oh no, this was the chance for the grandson to seize the opportunity. I am afraid that what the grandson asked him to do this time would definitely be difficult.
"Please say this, Your Highness."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, and then his eyes suddenly became cold.
"The emperor's grandfather's body is getting worse every day. The last time the emperor's grandfather died of illness was because of the third uncle. Sometimes I think about my father, second uncle, and third uncle, whether he died of illness or was harmed by others.
