Chapter 786 Zhu Han’s Ideas Are Optional

Ge Rong couldn't help but complain in his heart.

When they were investigating the matter earlier, these officials had already seen through the clues.

If Zhu Han hadn't chosen to make them confess at the most critical moment.

I'm afraid these officials have already been thrown into the Tianlao for investigation. Now they suddenly come to the palace, they must want Zhu Han to help.

"Your Majesty, these people are really bold. They must want you to help them by coming to the palace now. Many things in Yingtian Mansion are beyond their expectations."

"It's nothing more than wanting to save my own life. Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by these people. We have much more to control than this."

Zhu Han naturally knew this too.

He watched Ge Rong hand him the account book in his hand. Now Zhang Fengnian's business in Yingtian Prefecture has reached its peak.

Now that he has developed the lime method, he has to find a time to get Zhang Fengnian's palace restoration plan approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Otherwise, I really don’t know how much will happen.

"You go now, and gather the silver with Zhang Fengnian, so that I can go and meet these old stubborn people. I want to see how much he has to worry about."

Ge Rong certainly did not dare to delay at all, and nodded repeatedly after hearing Zhu Han's words.

The matter had already been clarified, and Zhu Han and Zhu Biao had begun a thorough investigation of the officials in the court with thunderous means.

These officials were all heroes from Huaixi who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in conquering the world.

This investigation did not let them off, and they came to Zhu Han just to seek a way out.

Zhu Han walked into the front hall slowly. Seeing several officials coming, they quickly stood up, bent slightly, and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. You have kept us waiting for a long time. I heard that Your Majesty has been feeling unwell these days."

"Yes, Your Majesty, since the bloody incident at the poetry festival, you seem to have stayed at home all the time. What happened? Please tell us."

Zhu Han curled his lips and smiled when he heard their words, but didn't take them to heart at all.

He had already seen many things clearly. If these officials found out anything, Zhu Biao's actions would definitely be restrained.

He sat in a chair and looked at the officials in front of him.

"It's not a big deal. I just caught a cold a few days ago. I've already investigated the matter of the poetry gathering. What brings you to my house today? What's the matter?"

Hearing Zhu Han's words, several officials lowered their heads slightly.

"Your Highness, you may not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already begun to investigate the officials in a big way, and now it's our turn."

"We are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and have never had any other selfish motives. Isn't this kind of investigation throwing our dignity into the ground?"

"Please give us a chance, Your Highness, and ask His Royal Highness to show mercy."

Zhu Han didn't want to get involved at first, but after hearing what these officials said, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Now that you have done such a wrong thing, you come to my palace and want to find a way out. Do you think it is possible?"

"If you didn't do it, then the things the prince wants to investigate won't involve you."

Zhu Han's words made several officials tremble with fear.

But they also know that if something like this happens now, they will certainly not have a good ending.

Many problems among officials have long been a source of great concern to them.

The plan has become more serious in recent days, and they don't want to be abandoned by Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

Several people slowly knelt in front of Zhu Han.

"Your Highness, many of the things we did were asked to do by King Yan, and we just wanted to help him."

"But I didn't expect that it would cause such a disaster now, and His Majesty would be able to show mercy."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are all people who serve the court and have never had any other selfish motives. Please give us a way out."

Many things between officials have gradually begun to show signs of happening.

If they can feel more threatened in this regard, I am afraid that some minor frictions will arise in the future.

The officials in the court were more or less involved in Zhu Di's affairs.

If they were all thrown into the Heavenly Prison, the Dali Temple would have a real headache.

Zhu Han didn't want to plead for these officials, but he also didn't want to see the matter getting worse by them.

When Zhu Biao was in charge of this matter, he had already begun a thorough investigation and naturally found a way to trace everything these officials had done.

"My Lords, have you forgotten that this task was to be completed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Besides, what you have done."

"His Majesty will also get the news. If the news reaches his ears, do you know the consequences?"

Zhu Han’s words gave several officials even more headaches.

Now that things have turned out like this, they naturally don't want to be implicated anymore.

But now many things in the court have already been beyond their expectations, and now they are being led by the officials.

Zhu Biao had never been merciful to these officials since the beginning of his investigation, and now that this incident had happened, he dared not have any other thoughts.

Zhu Han's words made them start to worry about their situation.

"Your Majesty, we really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"The prince was able to show some leniency and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said something nice. We really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

The situation of the officials has long become increasingly obvious.

If they have any concerns about this, it will have a huge impact on them in the future.

These have already created huge hidden dangers for them.

Now, there must be no interference in this matter. Zhu Han did not give these people any face.

He stood up slowly and looked down at the officials in front of him.

If it weren't for their meritorious service in following the emperor, they would have been investigated and punished long ago, or even torn to pieces and their entire clan would have been implicated.

"Go back and think carefully about what you have done. The best thing to do now is to resign and return home to spend your old age in peace."

After Zhu Han finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Everyone was looking at the scene in shock, knowing that if Zhu Han didn't help, they would not have a good ending.

But now that things have come to this, they no longer have any plans, so they can only follow Zhu Han's arrangements. Zhu Han went directly to the backyard, holding the accessories in his hands and began to practice sword under the shade of the tree. He slowly expressed the anger in his heart with the sword.

Ge Rong and Zhang Fengnian happened to see this scene when they arrived at the backyard.

Zhang Fengnian hurried forward and sat on a chair nearby, holding a cup of tea in his hand, admiring Zhu Han practicing sword and couldn't help but admire him.

"My Lord, you really impressed me. Yingtian has made such a great effort, yet you can still be so leisurely."

"I heard that those officials came to you to ask for mercy, but you ruthlessly sent them away. News in Yingtian Prefecture spreads really fast now."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Han put away the sword in his hand.

When he walked in front of Zhang Fengnian, he threw the sword directly to the ground, sat on the chair and started to negotiate with him helplessly.

"Those officials were simply afraid that they would die at the hands of the crown prince. They also deliberately spread the news in Yingtian Prefecture."

"You just want to play the victim. I can see through your little tricks. But why do you have time to come here today?"

Zhang Fengnian had a smile on his face. He took out a design drawing that he had been working on day and night for the past few days and handed it to Zhu Han.

"Your Highness, this is the lime and cement formula I have researched. After mixing them together, we will be able to better complete the palace renovation."

"We talked about giving the palace a brand new look a few days ago. We might as well make the money as soon as possible since we have the opportunity now."

No one can stop Zhang Fengnian's desire to make money, and he has been thinking about doing his business well in recent days.

He has come up with many ideas, and now he can control all the arrangements of the Chamber of Commerce in Yingtianfu Village.

Zhu Han heard his words and nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been affected a lot because of previous events, and he originally wanted to let Zhu Yuanzhang solve this matter.

Unexpectedly, I ended up wasting a lot of time by going around in circles.

"You are right. I will go to the Imperial Study tonight. Since you have said so, I will hand the account book directly to Your Majesty."

"I believe he will be interested."

After Zhu Han said this, the rest of the people didn't say anything.

Zhang Fengnian felt much more relieved.

In recent days, Zhu Biao has uncovered quite a few issues while dealing with officials in Yingtian Prefecture.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple had become Zhu Biao's right-hand man.

When investigating things, he had evidence of corruption by many officials. The Dali Temple Coordinates sat on a chair and took the thick stack of papers from the Dali Temple Shaoqing.

"Your Highness, these are the problems that the officials have found in recent days. There are quite a few people among them."

"They have really begun to see that some officials are forming cliques for personal gain."

"Some people have secretly hoarded a lot of land in order to gain more benefits from the people. They are really bold and reckless."

Zhu Biao frowned. He had never expected that things had come to this point. Before, he had always wanted to understand the situation of all the officials as soon as possible.

Now, after a thorough investigation of the matter, it is discovered that every official has a number of problems to a greater or lesser extent.

After thinking about it, Zhu Biao decided to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about this matter.

"You did a really good job this time. Put all these things in order. I will let the emperor look at them one by one."

"When the time comes, I will definitely be able to find out the truth of some things, and I will definitely not be deceived by them all the time."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple nodded repeatedly after listening to Zhu Han's words.

Zhu Biao took control of all the evidence in his hands, then immediately made preparations and went directly to the imperial study.

At this time, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang were discussing the repair of the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Zhu Han would be so thoughtful.

This made him feel a little bit unbelievable.

"The palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and we have never taken care of it. Now such a long time has passed. If it is not repaired, I don't know what will happen."

Zhu Han listed a lot of things, including the damage that would be caused if the palace collapsed. If passers-by happened to be walking underneath, it might lead to a bloodbath.

After all, the imperial palace is the most critical factor in a country's destiny. If it is not properly repaired and affects the country's destiny, it will be a loss for the Ming Dynasty.

As expected, after hearing what Zhu Han said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately changed his mind.

He looked at Zhu Han and felt shocked. If this really happened, he would have to prepare himself as soon as possible.

I had been thinking that there would definitely be a lot of situations.

Now that I think about it, as long as all these improvements can be properly made, there won’t be many concerns.

He looked at Zhu Han seriously, and finally agreed after meeting him.

"You are indeed right. The fate of the Ming Dynasty must not be affected in any way. Since you have made your decision, make arrangements as soon as possible."

“I believe it is ready now.”

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very fond of Zhu Han. Now, when he heard that Zhu Han has begun to pay attention to the maintenance of the palace, he couldn't help but sigh.

If he had known that such a decision would be made earlier, he would definitely not have waited until now. Fortunately, all these things have been prepared.

"I will leave this matter to you. I am very satisfied as long as it can make our Ming Dynasty more and more prosperous."

"Zhang Fengnian is comparable to Shen Wansan, but in recent days, the news from Jiangnan has become much less. We need to let the Jinyiwei take a closer look as soon as possible."

Zhu Han frowned slightly.

All the news in the Jiangnan area were gathered by the Jinyiwei, and Zhu Han never took it too seriously, including when they were providing relief to the disaster victims in Datong Prefecture, they also gathered a lot of news.

Now we could have made the officials in the court alert as soon as possible, but we didn’t expect it would have taken so long.

Zhu Yuanzhang had actually seen it clearly a long time ago. If he had been a step later, who knows how many things would have happened.

Zhu Han slowly calmed down.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. The Royal Guards have already conducted preliminary investigations on all officials in Jiangnan."

"As long as His Royal Highness investigates and finds no problems with the officials, they will definitely be promoted, and those who have concealed something will naturally not escape."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

He has always been familiar with Zhu Biao.

This time, the matter of investigating officials was entirely handed over to Zhu Biao, which also shows that he had always made good arrangements for Zhu Biao.

Now that this has happened, we will definitely not waste time like this. We must resolve all of these as quickly as possible before we can really arrange things.
