Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 397 Returning to Beijing
Ma Shi hit the nail on the head, and Lao Zhu's originally smiling face gradually became serious.

"Sister, do you think we are born to be poor?" Old Zhu frowned. "The family was poor before, and they couldn't even find a whole place to bury their parents."

"Now that he has finally become the emperor, Curry doesn't even have any surplus food. After saving for a few years, once the North and the South go to war, he will be able to run away from mice again."

"How come the emperors of the Yuan Court in the past were able to build Laoshizi Palaces every day and enjoy the Laoshizi Heavenly Demon Dance. If our old Zhu family is the emperor, we will still be poor and poor. We still need girls to mend clothes for us."

"Emperor Yuanting was extravagant and innocent, and he plundered the fat and fat of the people to satisfy his selfish desires, can that be the same?" Empress Ma laughed and scolded. "Chongba, you must not say this outside."

"If someone listens to it, they will think that you are envious of those foolish emperors in the Yuan Court and intend to have fun. If the people below misinterpret the meaning and want to present you with some rare playthings, it will be hard for the common people."

"Let's save it, we only say these out-of-the-ordinary witticisms to you, my sister." Old Zhu said.Then his face turned cold: "From our point of view, our national treasury is so poor now because of those stupid and corrupt officials who misunderstood their intentions and emptied my Daming's treasury."

"This civil servant is really not a man..." Old Zhu gritted his teeth.Because he knew the Kongyin case and the Guo Huan case in advance, he didn't have even a single ounce of trust in these civil servants under his opponent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the Hu party, Lao Zhu also asked Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate the government's official situation.

The result is shocking!
"These civil servants left by the Yuan court in the past can no longer be used." Lao Zhu's complexion was difficult to understand, and the light in his eyes was like a bone-cutting knife.

Seeing Lao Zhu like this, Empress Ma first sighed.He opened his mouth and said: "You can clean up Chao Gang if you want to, but you must always remember that you must never wrong a good official."

"We know." Old Zhu nodded.The tone of the husband and wife seemed to be discussing how to pull out the weeds in the field.There is no worry at all about the turmoil that the purge of Chao Gang may bring.

Both of them knew that the strength of the Zhu family was not the loyal civil servants, but the loyal civilians and soldiers with knives.

civil servant?Since you still miss the days when Gu Yuan was greedy for ink and domineering at will, then send them to see Emperor Yuan Shun.

What Lao Zhu cares about is who will take over and help Lao Zhu's family manage the place after these thousands of civil servants are abolished.

He pondered: "We still have to find a way to train our own officials from the old Zhu family."

"Those sneaky officials voted by Yuan Ting can no longer be used."

……

Zhu Su didn't know the thoughts of Lao Zhu who was far away in Yingtian.After Xu Da returned from a great victory and the war in the north was completely over, he also directly handed over his military power, returned to Suzhou with Zhang He and others by sea, and planned to return to Yingtian from Suzhou.

"Your Highnesses, this is the final goodbye." Zhang He cupped his fists at the Taicang Port in Suzhou and said to Zhu Su and the others.The expression is quite reluctant.

"General Zhang has worked hard." Zhu Su was also very close to this general who is good at maritime affairs, and entrusted him: "General, let's settle down in Fujian first. After my king responds to the sky, I will definitely help my Ming Dynasty to develop the Maritime Silk Road."

"At that time, we will still have to rely on the general's ability."

"The last general thanked His Highness the Fifth Highness." Zhang He was also fascinated leisurely.The world Zhu Su told him was too vast, and he couldn't wait to explore it.

After bidding farewell to Zhang He and the officials and merchants in Suzhou, Zhu Su and his two elder brothers finally embarked on their way back to Beijing.When they came, there were only him and Chang Mao, with Wu Wangwei, but at this time it was a mighty crowd, Qin Wang Zhu Xi, Yan Wang Zhu Di, Dai Sigong, Ru Taisu, and nurses made up of the rescued female relatives. The battalions are all on the list of returning to Beijing.

However, the other generals were all sent back to their original places.Even Cao Yuan and Zhang Yu were left in Ji Town.When Daming set up a new guard in Liaodong, the two of them will become the generals who belong to the new guard.

Along the way, Zhu Xi and Zhu Di seemed distraught, and the closer they got to Yingtian, the more restless they became.Zhu Su secretly laughed in his heart, knowing that the two of them were worried about returning to Beijing, and Lao Zhu would pursue them for sneaking out of Beijing. After all, Lao Zhu's dragon belt and two dragon boots would not hold back at all in a fight. .

These two elder brothers have become a lot more mature during this trip, but they still fear their own father like a tiger... It can only be said that the suppression of blood has nothing to do with age and heart.

For the anxiety of the two elder brothers, Zhu Su expressed that he could do nothing to help him. He only hoped that he could hand over the errand as soon as possible and relieve the burden on him.As long as he responds to the order, and then transfers all his arrangements to Lao Zhu and his elder brother, the two of them will make arrangements for the rest.As for myself, I can continue to hide in Huangzhuang, while advancing the progress of basic science, while being a comfortable and leisurely king.

Thinking of this, Zhu Su felt refreshed and relaxed.

The carriage and horses drove to the outskirts of Yingtian, Zhu Su and Zhu Di were playing chess in the carriage.Zhu Xi was watching from the sidelines.Both Zhu Su and Zhu Di are stinking chess players, and Zhu Xi, the second elder brother, doesn't know what it means to watch chess without saying a word. While watching the chess game, he gesticulates and even wants to grab the chess pieces with his hands.

Zhu Su and Zhu Di naturally refused to give way, so the three brothers in the carriage argued and quarreled, which can be regarded as "happy and harmonious".While playing, the dog outside lifted the curtain of the car: "Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness came to greet him. He is waiting in front."

"Brother?" The three brothers poked their heads out of the carriage, and they saw a familiar figure standing with hands behind their backs in the thatched pavilion resting on the side of the official road.

Seeing them, the figure waved at them slightly, if it wasn't the elder brother Zhu Biao, who was it?

"Brother!" "His Royal Highness!" The motorcade arrived at the pavilion, and Zhu Su and Chang Mao entered the pavilion to meet Zhu Biao.Zhu Biao first helped up Chang Mao who was paying respects, and after comforting him, he came to Zhu Su and the others.

"Okay, okay, although it's a little darker, it's also a lot stronger! It's already a man's appearance!" Reunited after a long absence, Zhu Biao patted the shoulders of the three younger brothers, with irrepressible intimacy in his eyes.Zhu Su also said with a smile: "Brother looks like he's aged a lot. If I didn't remember the time, I would have thought that brother was ten years old!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Xi also snickered.In the past few months, Zhu Biao has grown a beard, and now he has a goatee on his face, looking majestic and majestic, he is no longer like a young man.

"Hahahaha, my brother has become a father, so I should grow a beard." Zhu Biao twitched the tail of his beard, and looked a bit like a scholar.

Unexpectedly, they missed the birth of their nephew, and the three brothers hurriedly asked about the condition of the eldest nephew.Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Xiongying is fine! Thanks to the method of anti-pregnancy that you taught me, the fifth brother, Xiongying's baby was born with a weight of two pounds. The imperial doctor has also seen it. It is a baby that must be healthy!"

"That's great!" Zhu Su was overjoyed.Zhu Xiongying has no congenital disadvantages, as long as he can grow up safely, there will be no such thing as Emperor Jianwen cutting down the vassal.The history of Ming Dynasty will also be completely rewritten.
