I am the king of the dead

Zhu Zhanqian took a few steps and said: "We must keep an eye on the case of the nursing home. This time we must uproot it. Using the name of our old Zhu's family to do good deeds, to make money for the family, it is audacious!"

Zhu Zhanqian was angry about the filth in the nursing home.

The Nursing Home was a relief organization set up by Emperor Gao back then. If it wasn't for the outbreak of the Shanxi Xingdu Division's fraudulent relief case, Zhu Zhanqian read it in the mansion newspaper and realized that something was wrong with the Nursing Home. Toss clean.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about your work." Luo Bingzhong had checked a lot of things before entering Beijing.

Among them, it is confirmed that there are corruption donations, nursing homes, Dongxishefan Temple, about [-] cash per person per day. As a result of the actual visit, the official house has been in disrepair for a long time, the bedding covered has long been dilapidated, and there has never been any soup. Eat bran and drink water.

But every year, the Sanatorium reported as much as [-] silver coins for medicine stones. Where did the money go?

The reason why Zhu Zhanqian made a high-profile donation was to make the nursing home's bad debts clear.

The things bestowed by His Majesty are all royal supplies, rare among the people, and they are worth a lot. Luo Bingzhong has his own account. As long as he knows the flow direction of these imperial gifts, he can figure out the direction of benefit transmission.

Zhu Zhanqian is using his own personal interests to investigate the case, and it is not known how much he can recover in the end. Zhu Zhanqian fulfilled his request in the memorial, first public and then private.

"Then go quickly!" Zhu Zhanqian waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is a bait that has cost a lot of money. If you don't catch a few big fish, you are the only one asking!"

As a direct prince, Zhu Zhanqian has never considered money. A little money can be exchanged for a life-saving talisman, and he can't earn more.

"Yes." Luo Bingzhong walked out of the palace, and Zhu Zhanqian went straight to the study. He had already written on public morality, and there was a new headline in his mind, that is, on private morality.

As the prince of Zhide, Zhu Zhanqian wants to cultivate deeply in the field of morality, and strives to create a collection of Xiangwang anthology before he dies, which also indirectly realizes the achievement of writing a biography and leaving a long history.

However, Zhu Zhanqian also knows that what he has done has offended many scholars, and his evaluation in history may not be much better at that time.

But reputation is something that is not necessary for the first prince, anyway, neither is it for His Majesty.

6 Chapter Thirty Under the Winter Preface, the Counterattack is Backfired

Luo Bingzhong smelled the smell of blood and rain, the muddy water in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there are many people in Chiqian recently, and some people have started to stir up trouble.

Especially now, after Daming entered the winter sequence, this feeling became more and more obvious.

As the long history of Prince Xiang's Mansion, Luo Bingzhong returned to Prince Xiang's Mansion after hastily communicating with Jin Yiwei, panting behind the closed gate of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

There was a wave of turmoil in the court, that is, His Majesty was asked to move the palace from Tai'an Palace to the Imperial Palace. The reason was that His Majesty, who is ninety-five years old, could live outside the Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Luo Bingzhong ran into the Nuan Pavilion, picked up the herbal tea on the table, poured it vigorously, and said, "Yi Gong! They are serious!"

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian threw away the letter of worship in his hand, and his face was as deep as the sea when he entered the capital. From then on, he looked like a passerby in a leisurely manner, and said dejectedly: "This group of people lacks a leader's sacrificial flag. Is the head sacrificed to His Majesty's knife?"

As soon as Zhu Zhanqian returned to the mansion, he received a large wave of invitations. Most of the reasons were to invite Prince Zhide to come forward and lead a group of officials to bring the eight years of wrong politics to order.

The first thing is to move the palace.

The Son of Heaven lives in the Tai'an Palace all day long, next to the ten princes' mansion, guarding courtiers is the same as guarding against thieves.

Luo Bingzhong roughly flipped through the greeting card, and he knew what was happening, and he said dully, "Your Highness, didn't you agree?"

Zhu Zhan looked at Luo Bingzhong with disgust, and said with a sneer: "Luo Changshi is really humorous."

"Ah?" Luo Bingzhong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his highness was the best at protecting himself wisely. How could he charge forward when he didn't use the brand to lose his head?

Zhu Zhanqian, who was still an old god just now, suddenly stared and said loudly: "Oops!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Zhanqian stood up abruptly and said, "Go to Zheng Wang's mansion quickly, the second brother is addicted to alcohol, and he doesn't know the north, south, south, east and north after drinking two or two horse urine! If they can't find me, they will definitely look for the second brother! Hurry up and stop King Zheng from meddling in this matter!"

"Well!" Luo Bingzhong's face changed in shock when he heard the words, and he rushed to Zheng Wang's mansion like a gust of wind, and then rushed back in a gust of wind.

Luo Bingzhong was out of breath as he ran, picked up the unfinished herbal tea, took two more gulps, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, it turns out that Shi Zhou Ying, the chief of Prince Zheng's residence, is a sensible person, and he has already blocked the invitation, and His Royal Highness said he was sick and hid Woke up."

King Zheng is stupid, but there are also old people in Prince Zheng's mansion. Although Zhou Ying's Anti-Corruption Office has retired, he still keeps his eyes on the mansion because of his old love.

"Oh, Zhou Ying, that's okay." Zhu Zhanqian finally felt relieved.

Zhou Ying is a ruthless person and a cruel official, but he did not push Zheng Wang into the pit of fire despite his ten years of master-servant friendship.

Back then, Wang Zhi from Longzhi Gong asked His Majesty to move the palace. His Majesty just wanted to know how many bowls of rice I ate, and I was so out of breath. Layers of skin, broken bones.

Luo Bingzhong said in a daze: "His Royal Highness, as far as I know, this group of people wanted to find a leader. They successively found Queen Mother Sun, King Ji, King Chong, and then found His Highness and King Zheng. They were not guaranteed, and they ran again Which palace has gone?"

Zhu Zhanqian sat down slowly, shook his head and said, "It's true, good words are hard to persuade, damn it, someone is looking for death, and I can't stop it alone."

This is a disadvantage of pulling all the princes and county kings from all over the feudal domain back to the capital. They will often be pushed out to be the ones who wave the flag.

Because the scruples have reached the friendship of relatives, the emperor often has no way to kill these relatives of the emperor, and he is quite wary.

However, compared to these royal relatives doing evil in the local area and colluding with the gentry, King Xiang still believes that keeping them in the capital is less troublesome.No one can control them in the local area, at least in the capital, there are His Majesty and the clan's mansion to suppress and control them.

What kind of person is His Majesty today?The emperor has killed one, a group of relatives who are about to be out of five clothes, what can't be killed?

"Luo Changshi, have you read the lonely essay on public morality?" Zhu Zhanqian was holding a incense box and drying the white sand in it. He recently got a piece of agarwood, which is a good time to play with it.

Luo Bingzhong didn't understand, so he asked: "After reading it, His Highness still has high opinions?"

Zhu Zhanqian waved his hand and said, "I don't dare to be high-minded. You see, this is the theory of public morality. After understanding the theory of public morality, there will naturally be a distinction between public and private. If you have to kidnap public affairs with the friendship of relatives, you have no public morality."

"What will happen if there is no public morality?"

Luo Bingzhong thought about it seriously for a long time, then nodded and said: "Your Highness is wise, those who have no public morality are dead."

Friendship with relatives is a private virtue, and selflessness and the destruction of relatives with righteousness are public virtues.

Your Majesty holding a public weapon, if you don't kill the unvirtuous gentry, the unvirtuous son-in-law, the unvirtuous prince, and the unvirtuous emperor, you will not distinguish between public and private, and it will be detrimental to public morality.

And what is public morality?

The reason why the crowd is a group, and the reason why a country is a country, depends on this virtue to establish a person.

Public morality is the great virtue for a country to be established and healthy.

Prince Zhide's research in Germany has indeed yielded huge gains.

Luo Bingzhong pondered for a while, the memorial that His Highness presented before entering Beijing was indeed well prepared, knowing that this muddy water would not be easy, so he made preparations in advance.

Luo Bingzhong continued: "I also heard a letter. Some people are quite dissatisfied with His Majesty's duty in the martial arts hall all the year round, saying that His Majesty is militaristic and values ​​military affairs more than literature."

"There are quite a few courtiers in this court who feel that in conjunction with the palace move, even if His Majesty is on duty, he should be in the Wenhua Hall, not the Martial Arts Hall."

Zhu Zhanqian almost burst into laughter when he heard it, where is the lecture hall?

The martial arts hall is the cradle of commanders and generals, the cradle of the Ming military generals, the weapon of the Ming emperor to control the military power, and the bargaining chip for His Majesty and Yu Qianyu to keep each other safe.

It's okay to move the palace, and he put his idea on the head of the martial arts hall.

Zhu Zhanqian frowned, leaned forward and said, "Did Wu Xun get involved in these matters? You can run around later and see the Duke of England, Duke of Cheng, Marquis of Wuqing, and Ning Yang." What are the movements of the Marquis Hou, especially the movement of the Marquis of Wen'an."

Luo Bingzhong was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted, and said in surprise, "Your Highness means that Yu Shaobao contributed to this incident?"

Zhu Zhanqian immediately shook his head in denial and said: "You said this, not alone. When the time comes, Yu Shaobao will blame you, and you will bear it yourself."

Luo Bingzhong didn't care about drinking tea, and ran out again. Within half an hour, Zhu Zhanqian's white sand had just dried, and Luo Bingzhong came back with news.

Luo Bingzhong took a sip of herbal tea and said: "The houses mentioned by His Highness have not moved at all. The Jiuchong Hall, in front of the Shaobao Gate, is still the same. There are no private affairs in the official office."

Zhu Zhanyi breathed a sigh of relief, laughed a little, and no longer expressed his opinion on this matter. As long as Yu Qian doesn't get involved in this matter and talks about martial arts, there is nothing to worry about.

Zhu Zhanqian is returning to Beijing to supervise the country. These things are just a sign now. Once His Majesty goes south, it will be a raging flame that can burn Zhu Zhanqin to ashes.

As always, Yu Qian has no interest in being in power.

"Any more news?" Zhu Zhanqian took out the anvil, pressed the white sand flat, took out the mold, sprinkled the agarwood that had been wiped off, and after lighting it, bursts of fragrance rose up.

Luo Bingzhong said dejectedly: "Yes, there are still young and old, these people are all frying pickles and adding salt, they are too idle."

"Recently the imperial students of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College students of the Imperial College have criticized the astronomy students of the top ten calendar bureaus, saying that they are strange skills and obscenity, and the extravagance is even worse. Taking useless things to deprive them of useful wealth is a luxury. The wind of fighting for wealth is on the heads of the top ten calendar bureaus, and we are preparing to write a letter on the bus, please abolish it, Your Majesty."

The tide of moving the palace was slightly turbulent, and there was another evil trend in the imperial court. The voices of opposition to the top ten calendar bureaus mainly came from the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College. The number of astronomy students in the top ten calendar bureaus has exceeded 500. It costs a lot.

The winter preface of the Ming Dynasty, the financial contraction, the imperial court favored many astronomy students, but it was of no use. The "Jingtai Almanac" has been compiled, and the calendar will start next year. Why recruit so many astronomy students?

Zhu Zhanqian leaned on the soft rattan chair, took off the Qigong card hanging on his chest, took out the silk and wrapped it carefully, and said, "Luo Changshi, have you seen it? I have no other skills, so I beat you up." The ability is like an arm's length, the Ming Dynasty is in decline, and the luxury is fighting for the rich, and it comes from the official family, so does it have anything to do with the top ten calendar bureaus?"

"You say you are lonely and clever every day, but in fact, in terms of cleverness, you are still Your Majesty."

"Have you seen this Qigong card? People who have received the Qigong card also have watches, clocks, cars, brocades, tribute tea and other luxurious things to use. Tsk tsk, your majesty is so proud."

If it is said that His Majesty is the emperor of Taimiao Zhan Jili Wang, His Majesty is the one who insists, then this reward card gift package is His Majesty's highest.

His Majesty is tall and hard.

The most famous and capable people in the court were firmly tied to the chariot with a small miracle card, and they became a community of interests.

Take useless things to deprive them of useful wealth?

Which of the things created by the top ten calendar bureaus is useless?

"Where do you start with this?" Luo Bingzhong put the teapot on the stove, and then said, he must have the awareness to be a fan.

Zhu Zhan said cheerfully: "I'm happy today, let the dining room prepare some meat, food, wine and vegetables. After running five thousand miles, I almost fell apart."

"You see, they are all the rotten Confucians from the Imperial Academy, the sour Confucians from the Imperial College, barking and yelling, and some idiots in the court follow suit. The court is full of civil and military officials, and they don't say a word about this matter."

Luo Bingzhong wrote down Zhu Zhanqin's words, and asked with a smile, "Why?"

Zhu Zhanqian immediately replied: "Because the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are just bad, he is not stupid."

The courtiers are bad and speak for their own interests, but they are not stupid, and stupid people can't get involved in Fengtian Palace.

His Majesty made it very clear that the application and transformation of machinery is one of the ways to increase productivity, and the first to enjoy the fruits of increased productivity must be the bureaucrats under the official system.

That's why Zhu Zhanyi said, it's just bad, not stupid.

"Your Highness, I have another news that the Shijing Factory is losing money every year, and some people want to buy it. There are quite a few people involved in this matter." Luo Bingzhong smacked his lips. , said in amazement.

Zhu Zhanqian suddenly became silent, his face was cloudy and uncertain, he sat up straight and said: "This kind of thing is not unusual. During the Hongwu period, someone urged Emperor Gao to abolish eighteen official factories in the world. When Shijing was in the official factory, some people said that His Majesty was competing with the people for profit."

"It's been a long time since the Hongwu period. During the Zhengtong period, the official kilns of the Qianqing Palace in the Xishan Coal Kiln were so noisy that they all bought them at the end?"

"This group of people is especially good at this kind of thing. They run this good official factory until it loses money and go out of business, then buy it off and replace it with a group of people. After making enough money, they continue to look for a new official factory."

Zhu Zhanqian's theory of profit handle is the vanguard of competing with the people for profit. For Zhu Zhanqian, who put forward this point of view, resolutely implemented it, and achieved great results. The powerful man in the court is Zhu Zhanqian's sworn enemy.

Zhu Zhanqian snorted coldly and said, "Luo Changshi, have you heard such a sentence?"

"Which one?"

Zhu Zhanqian said with three points of anger: "Golden belts for killing and setting fire, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, repairing bridges and repairing roads is a big business, these people just value the oil and water in it."

"Those who do bad things are well-clothed and rich, and they are innocent people, but they are splashed with dirty water."

Zhu Zhanqian's eyes were quite fierce, obviously he was really angry. After His Majesty's southern tour, if he came back and saw that the driver was bought off, then he, Zhu Zhanqin, the proponent of the theory, is still a fool. up?

Luo Bingzhong suddenly shivered, he suddenly thought of the omens of subjugation, one of which was to seek glory and be humiliated.

To be an innocent person should belong to Shaobao. If the battle of the capital is over and His Majesty kills the donkey, isn’t this just a way of doing bad things, and an innocent person who seeks glory and shame?

Fortunately, Your Majesty and Yu Shaobao have disagreements on many things, but it is still a good situation for the emperor, the sage, and the virtuous. Your Majesty hates Xu Youzhen very much in private, but the miracle card has never been pulled down, especially recently Chen Xun took office again. Chen Xun's name is on the Universal Annals.

This is also a good start for the officials below who are doing things. If you want to be honored and really get honored, then you will have the motivation to do things.

Luo Bingzhong was a little confused, and he didn't know whether it was the reason for burning incense or something else. He said full of doubts: "Recently, there are a lot of evil winds."

Zhu Zhanqian regained his lazy temperament, and asked with a smile: "Is it strange? Ghosts and snakes are just taking advantage of luck to counterattack and count against it!"

"It would be a bad idea not to counterattack at this time. Could it be that it would be a bad idea to wait for Daming to survive the winter preface and to counterattack in the summer preface?"

"When it comes, stubborn iron shines, but when it is transported away, gold loses its color."

"At present, the Great Ming Winter Preface, the general trend has arrived, even His Majesty, for the sake of the fortune of the world, will slightly cover up his edge."

The trend of the times, take advantage of the situation, the winter sequence of the Great Ming Dynasty has arrived, this is the best time to counterattack and reckon.

Luo Bingzhong said convincingly: "Your Highness is indeed brilliant!"

Zhu Zhanqian leaned on the back of the chair and said in a daze, "Tomorrow, I will go to the Hall of Martyrs to offer incense."

Luo Bingzhong asked suspiciously: "What kind of calculation is this?"

Zhu Zhanqian shook his head and said: "It's not a calculation, it's just a simple trip to enjoy incense. I'm back in Beijing. Go and have a look and tell them that Daming is fine now."

"I will ask His Majesty for the imperial decree to bring back the corpses of the heroes buried in Beihai, and bury them in the Hall of Martyrs, so that the souls of heroes can return to their hometowns, so that they can have a moment of peace of mind."

Ever since he saw the corpses of more than 200 marquises on piers and towers by the lake, Zhu Zhanqian finally understood the last link of public morality, rights and responsibilities.

Since then, wherever Zhu Zhanqian went, he would first go to the Hall of Martyrs to offer incense.

"Yes." Luo Bingzhong immediately bowed his head and said.
