Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Hearing this, Fu Youwen also turned around.

He smiled in relief, "That's right. Although our new emperor is indeed a bit obsessed with material things, spending money and energy on flowers, trees, and ceramics is insignificant compared to the chaos in the world and the disaster of the tyranny of foreign relatives. It's just that his reputation is not very good."

The two nodded.

They smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

"It's time to go to the six ministries, please, Mr. Zhan."

"Master Fu, please."

The two men exchanged some politeness and then headed towards the six ministries together.

The civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace Square scattered like ants, each heading towards their respective government offices...

And in the direction of the Censorate Yamen.

"Master Yuan!!!"

With a solemn and puzzled look on his face, the Right Censor-in-Chief Yuan Tai was absent-mindedly walking slowly towards the Censorate office.

Then I heard a call from behind.

Yuan Tai stopped, frowned and looked back, his eyes flickered - Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia?

Many thoughts flashed through my mind at once.

At the same time, he bowed and said, "Marquis Jiang Xia, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Dexing chuckled, "Master Yuan, what you said is true. Master Yuan spoke out for justice in Fengtian Hall today, unafraid of the powerful. Such integrity is truly admirable."

Yuan Tai was secretly delighted.

After all, what Zhou Dexing said hit the nail on the head for these trolls.

Natural benefit.

However, he did not show it on the surface, but simply bowed and said humbly: "I am the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. I have the duty to inspect all officials and the responsibility to advise the emperor. This is within my duties and is not worth mentioning."

Zhou Dexing pretended to be helpless and shook his head and sighed:

"Alas...what a pity! What a pity!"

"Even though a censor like Lord Yuan is devoted to the Ming Dynasty, he cannot stand up to the unreasonable demands of Lan Yu and his followers."

"The late emperor passed away just a few days ago, and he's already planting flowers and plants in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, choosing expensive ones. He's also playing with clay and making ceramics... Who would believe he's just being filial?"

Yuan Tai, who seemed quite tired, brightened his eyes slightly.

He sighed in deep agreement, "That's exactly it, alas...ah!"

Zhou Dexing's lips curled up in an ambiguous smile. "Speaking of which, if this kind of thing happened today, it would definitely not be so arrogant and rude! The Second Prince has always been humble and polite, treating the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the upright civil servants in the court with great respect, and often humbly asking for advice and learning. He is a very good person."

"In fact, if it was the Second Prince, he would never do such a thing as wasting his time during a funeral!"

Yuan Tai's eyes glared, and he immediately shook his head with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the Second Prince is ill. The day before yesterday, His Majesty conferred the title of Prince on the Second Prince. When the Second Prince came to Fengtian Hall to receive the ceremony, his steps were unsteady and his face was pale. Alas..."

If it is said that there have always been people who have doubts about Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts and life or death.

But Zhu Yunhuan made him appear in public in a sickly state, so there is basically no explanation for this.

Seeing Yuan Tai's expression of regret.

Zhou Dexing was secretly delighted.

His face showed a solemn and serious expression: "Master Yuan, have you ever considered that there might be something fishy about this matter?"

Yuan Tai's pupils shrank slightly, and he glanced around with some concern, saying, "What does Jiang Xiahou mean?"

Zhou Dexing also glanced around with a worried look on his face, and kept it a secret: "This is not the place to talk, I can only say this much."

He gave Yuan Tai a meaningful look.

He clasped his fists, bowed, turned around and walked away slowly.

As for Zhou Dexing's identity, what he said here is very clear.

For him, Yuan Tai is certainly someone he can win over, but not someone he can completely trust.

If the other party is interested, they will naturally come to him for work.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Front hall.

As soon as Zhu Yunhuan returned to the palace, Song Zhong approached him and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Palace Guards, Zhou Ji, has been apprehended for committing adultery with a palace maid."
