Chapter 510 Beating

"Yeah, not bad."

Li Chen nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the corner of Xizheng Hall, and there was a stack of about a dozen memorials, saying: "Please pick up a few memorials for those memorials."

Zheng Baorong was a little confused, but he did not dare to disobey His Royal Highness's words. He picked up several memorials and read them with confusion.

Seeing this, Zheng Baorong's face suddenly became extremely exciting.

Li Chen leaned on the chair and said, "There are times when the censor of the Censorate has been following your memorials. So many people have flew over every day. Their crimes are listed above, which are nothing more than using power for personal gain and oppressing good people. He said that you rely on the privilege of the Eastern Palace to approve you and force the landlords around the capital to force them to plant sweet potatoes."

"It is natural to speak for those who agree. If you don't agree, you will threaten people with Dongchang and Donggong."

"The most serious time, you even transferred the yamen runners from the capital to force the land acquisition and caused a fight of more than a dozen people. Is this the case?"

Zheng Baorong looked bitter and hurriedly put down the memorial and begged for mercy to Li Chen with grievance and said, "Your Highness, you are wronged."

"Who are the people who can have a large tract of land near the capital? They are ordinary landlords on the surface, but everyone knows that the fields actually belong to officials in the court, and those landlords are just agents for these officials to confuse the public."

"They rely on their own people in the court and have masters behind them, and they don't know how arrogant and domineering they are."

"It is really difficult for Weichen to advance his work. Sometimes he has to tease the tiger skin of the East Palace."

"As for the fight, it was even more unfair. It was indeed a fight, but in fact it was just a little bit of skin. It was the other party's move first. The Weichen then transferred the yamen runners to stabilize the situation and not continue to expand."

Seeing Zheng Baorong opening his mouth and pouring out a large pot of bitter water, Li Chen said with a headache: "Okay, okay, let's talk slowly, I didn't say that I would cure your sins. Why are you doing so anxious? If you really want to cure your sins, I've brought you here to speak up long ago, and I'm still waiting for it now?"

Zheng Baorong then let out a long sigh, and he said carefully: "Your Highness, these memorials..."

"Have you seen these memorials thrown into a corner by me?"

Li Chen frowned and said, "I know that you, the prefect of the capital, are not easy to be the head of the capital. At the foot of the emperor, the parents and officials of the imperial capital of the empire have always been the most tempered position, and they are also the most demanding position."

"If you count your exes up, which one is not a strong background? Only if there are children of officials who are supported by the imperial officials in the family can they take this position. It is because the relationship between the capital is complicated. Officials under the third rank are embarrassed to say that they are officials in the capital. If this prefect of the capital does not have a strong enough background, they will naturally be easily excluded and dealt with by various forces."

"What's more, it's difficult to get you to promote sweet potato planting right now, and it's even more difficult. So I allowed you to do some exceptions from the beginning, and I also agreed to you doing things under the banner of the East Palace. Otherwise, would you think the Jinyiwei in the East Factory are all eating and eating? Let you make such a mess?"
