Chapter 1672: Not Big Enough?

Wuchuan had breakfast and was about to go back. Only when he got up did he remember that he shouldn't be too withdrawn.

"Let's go out for a walk."

The two sergeants who had breakfast with him were flattered and agreed, and then the three of them talked to the superior officer and went out together.

…

Jinling in summer is like a big steamer, so it’s slightly better in the morning and evening.

The three of them were wandering on the street. One of them was married and had children, so they paid more attention to toys.

"Brother Wu, it seems that they want to promote you!"

A sergeant said enviously, but not jealously.

If Wuchuan hadn't been so brutal in killing his enemies, he would have been an official of hundreds of households now.

Wu Chuan saw another sergeant buying a rattle and said, "Just kill the enemy."

Although he began to communicate with his colleagues, he still didn't talk much.

"Brother Wu, there is no chance to kill the enemy now! You see, Uncle Xinghe's concubine is about to give birth. He seems to be so happy. This means the world is at peace."

"Yeah, it's peaceful..."

Wuchuan looked at the flow of people in front of him with some confusion.

It's peaceful, but what can I do?

…

Mochou's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Fang Xing looked a little frightened, so he hired an experienced midwife to keep an eye on it, and he kept talking about it all day long.

"Uncle Xinghe, do you want our family to be envious?"

Wang He felt that his reputation for being long-winded should be given to Fang Xing!

"As a childless person, we hear what you say about children all day long. Pregnant women, as you said, are heartbroken!"

Fang Xing coughed dryly and said, "Being a husband and a father is not easy!"

Wang He said seriously: "Uncle Xinghe, next time you ridicule our family, our nephew will be dependent on you!"

Fang Xing also said seriously: "I'm not ridiculing you.

Also, your nephew is your nephew, and you are you. "

In Fang Xing's opinion, the model of adopting a son is somewhat meaningless. Since it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist and will just return to dust. Why bother with that little bit of incense?

Wang He said disdainfully: "You are still mocking our family. You already have two sons and one daughter. A well-fed man does not know a hungry man. This is too much. Let me tell you, when my nephew comes, there must be a place in Zhixing Academy. , If you don’t want to stay, I will live in your home.”

At this time, Jia Quan appeared outside the courtyard gate. He pointed to Zhu Zhanji's place, and Fang Xing nodded.

When he arrived at Zhu Zhanji's place, Fang Xing saw a dark-skinned and powerful man.

"These are Black Thorn people. They just changed horses all the way, and no one stopped."

At this time, Shen Shitou came in and reported, "Your Highness, the second messenger is here."

Black Thorn will use three waves of messengers to deliver important news, and will not follow one route.

The second messenger was also tanned and took out a letter.

Zhu Zhanji looked at it and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest."

After the messenger went down, Zhu Zhanji looked a little strange, as if he was happy but also a little guilty.

"It's a letter from Huang Zhong."

Zhu Zhanji handed the letter to Fang Xing and said, "Father is not in good health and feels a little weak about my actions here."

Fang Xing read the letter three lines at a time, closed his eyes and thought about it. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were calm.

"Your Majesty wants to prepare for a rainy day. In fact, like the late emperor, he is also tempering the crown prince."

Fang Xing said, cupping his hands towards the north and saying: "I have misunderstood your Majesty a lot in the past few years, and now I think about it, I feel really ashamed. Fortunately, your Majesty didn't care, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see anyone."

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly and said: "I was wrong too. I misjudged my father's ambition. I thought I was being squeezed. It's ridiculous."

It is rare to hear of any mutual suspicion between the emperor and the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang could be called a good father to Zhu Biao. And Zhu Di just looked down upon Zhu Gaochi, not to mention jealousy, and Zhu Gaochi was not worthy of Zhu Di's suspicion.

When Zhu Zhanji arrived, the relationship suddenly became complicated, but Fang Xing thought about it again and came to a conclusion.

"We think that His Majesty is the spokesperson of those civil servants, so he will naturally be wary and uneasy, but now that we think about it, it is really ridiculous."

sp; Fang Xing smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is an emperor. Including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the so-called exclusive respect for Confucianism is nothing more than cooperation between the two parties. But when Confucianism is strong, who would be willing to except the emperors of the former Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Zhanji's brows were full of excitement, he stood up and said: "Since my father feels that the action is not big enough, then let's try again."

Fang Xing said playfully: "Tell me, does His Majesty want to pass this message to you through Sun Xiang?"

Zhu Zhanji was just filled with emotion and excitement. Hearing this, he looked at each other and Fang Xing, and said with a smile: "It seems that my methods are still not up to par!"

"I'm not much better!"

Fang Xing felt that Zhu Gaochi was too deep in the city, and a small movement could make him and Zhu Zhanji confused.

What about Sun Xiang?

Fang Xing thought of the eunuch of Dongchang who was always kind and kind, and felt that there was a big problem with his way of looking at people in the past, which was too one-sided.

"Two things!"

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "The cleanup and dedication and the treasure ship cannot be moved lightly. This will put great pressure on the father and easily cause turmoil. Until the army is firmly in control, neither the father nor I will do anything." Dare to move lightly. Then let's think carefully about what to use for surgery!"

Zhu Zhanji frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In fact, the only thing to worry about in the south is the powerful power of officials. From the countryside to the city, they are like maggots on the tarsal bones. When they are moved, it hurts the heart and is difficult to remove. If they don't move... …”

"It's just a combination of interests!"

Fang Xing mentioned a new term, and then said disdainfully: "They represent backward productivity, but they still don't know what science will bring to the Ming Dynasty. Whether they accept it or not, science has spread to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, etc. After those seeds take root and sprout, the wheels of history will roll in. Those who don’t accept it should be prepared to be crushed!”

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were bright and he said with great ambition: "Then let's start from below. Let the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Personnel send people down to investigate everywhere, mainly the petty officials in various places, and weed out the bad apples..."

This was a shower-like action. Fang Xing was not interested in it, but he didn't object either.

Most of the Six Divisions of Jinling have a lot of free time, so it would be a good idea to find something for them to do.

And Zhu Zhanji's move was a response to Zhu Gaochi.

Didn't you say the action was too small? Didn't you say I'm too soft?

Then I clean up the petty officials, build momentum for myself, and establish prestige among the people. Is this action big enough?

So Zhu Zhanji summoned the six ministers and the imperial court to hold a meeting.

"... After we go down, we must ask the local government to cooperate, visit the people, listen to the people's sufferings, and then collect the misdeeds of those petty officials..."

Zhu Zhanji stood on it with his hands behind his hands, his brows solemn, "The common people have no chance to see those high-ranking officials, they are facing small officials. We need to punish a group of small officials ruthlessly..."

"In Shihao Village at dusk, there were officials arresting people at night. The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to watch... Why are the officials so angry, and the women so sad? After listening to the woman's speech, the three men guarded Yecheng..."

Everyone was in awe when they heard Zhu Zhanji reciting this poem.

"...Although the old woman's strength is declining, please come back from the official position at night. In case of emergency in Heyang, you still have to prepare morning meals. She can't speak for a long time, just like hearing tears and swallowing. At dawn, I will go to the future, and I will say goodbye to the old man alone..."

Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "Minor officials are like wolves and tigers. I have hated them to the bone since Emperor Taizu and Gao, and they would not hesitate to peel off the skin and make grass. However, if people's hearts are not enough, there will always be luck, so I want to tell you to wait, the Ming Dynasty The foundation of the country lies in the small officials. If the small officials are clear, then the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful. Do you understand?"

This was Zhu Zhanji's political proposition, and everyone responded with awe.

Bao Hua from the Inspectorate raised his hand and asked, "Your Highness, what if the local officials are covering up or being passive?"

Zhu Zhanji glanced at him and said, "That's dereliction of duty! Or collaborating with other people and committing adultery!"

As soon as these murderous words came out, Bao Hua felt a little regretful.

He originally wanted to find a buffer for the work of the Ducha Yuan, so as not to be scolded by Zhu Zhanji for not doing things well, but he did not expect that Zhu Zhanji's evil spirit was so strong.

Wei Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, saw that Bao Hua had lost points and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, many officials in the south have relatives, but the Ministry of Personnel can find out at any time."

Zhu Zhanji's face softened slightly and he said: "This is the attitude towards doing things. If you are afraid of hardships and difficulties, then why should you be an official? Wouldn't it be safer to go home, sit back and wait for death?"

These words made Fang Xing think of Zhu Di!

And everyone was like this, so while they were shocked in their hearts, they immediately declared that they would go all out, but they almost said that they would liberate the people.
