Chapter 323 Seizure (1)

Forbidden City, Imperial Garden Lezhizhai.

This three-story building adjacent to the pond has become the center of power of the Ming Dynasty. It is the place where the crown prince Zhu Yunyu handles government affairs and meets his ministers every day. It is like the Chunhe Palace where the crown prince Zhu Biao was located and the Fengtian Hall of the old man.

The civil and military officials waiting to be summoned in the hall were sitting upright, while the scholars Hanlin were walking constantly, and the government orders and administrative appointments were issued from this small building.

Suddenly, all the sitting ministers straightened their backs even more.

The leader of the Eastern Palace, the eunuch, came down from the second floor and stood not far away.

"Who is the candidate for Yunnan Salt Administration?"

The turtle asked with shame, and the ministers immediately stood up and a slightly fat middle-aged man, "I'm here!"

"Come with the miscellaneous family!" Wu Basha said lightly, and was about to turn around.

At this moment, Yu Guang suddenly saw someone winking at him.

He wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, but when he saw that the other party had opened his mouth slightly. If he pretended that he didn't see it, the next second he would call him his nickname, Lao Wang.

The turtlema signaled the others to take the salt administration candidate up, walked over there, and whispered, "Dude, what's your business?"

"Old Wang, when will Your Highness meet me?" Li Jinglong asked lowered his head.

Look at the turtle shame. Although his status in the palace is now extraordinary, if he is caught by someone with a heart, he will inevitably be in trouble. You, an eunuch, talk and laugh with the noble ministers of the state, are not in accordance with the rules.

"You are not on the list of your highness to see today!" said the turtlema, "The family is guessing that your highness will be busy for a while!"

"Let's wait!" Li Jinglong nodded and smiled, "As long as you see me, you will wait no matter how late!"

Although he smiled on his face, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely in his heart. Thinking back to the time, Li Jinglong wanted to see the crown prince, so he would go in immediately after he came. He still had to wait? He also had to sit in the lobby with a group of alternate officials who were outside.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I beat an acquaintance inside outside, and the person who came was stern, as if everyone owed him money.

"Oh, Lord Tie, you are here. Your Highness has urged you several times!"

The person who came was not someone else, but was the former East Palace attendant Tie Xuan who was sent to Xi'an and now returned to Beijing.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm fine!" Tie Xuan nodded calmly, and his eyes also saw Duke Cao Li Jinglong, and nodded slightly.

"You are here for a while, I will report to Your Highness!" The turtlema knew that this was the person Zhu Yunxiu wanted to see, so he did not dare to neglect and went there quickly.

The ministers in the palace were surprised to see the eunuch in charge of the East Palace treating this person wearing the costumes of fourth-rank officials so politely. They kept looking at him with their eyes and guessing who this person was.

Li Jinglong walked over quietly and smiled, "When will you be back?"

"Report to Mr. Mr., I arrived in the city in the middle of the night last night." Tie Xuan answered with a stern look.

"I went back last night, why did I enter the palace now?" Manager Li frowned, "But I was blocked by the guardians, so I won't let you enter the city?"

Tie Xuan smiled faintly, which was the default.

"This matter is a mess, why don't you mention me?" Li Jinglong said regretfully, "The city gate army is all my old friends. Even if you say my friends, they dare to neglect you!"

"I dare not!" Tie Xuan said lightly.

"You are really as good as your name, as cold as iron!" Li Jinglong cursed, "What kind of friendship do we have? Are you still here?" He said, laughing in a low voice, "I will call Xiao Jie tonight, Lianxianglou will greet you first, and then the Sanxi Class will be happy. You have been in Xi'an for so long, and you have long missed the Jiangnan flavor?"

Suddenly, Tie Xuan looked embarrassed, "Don't talk nonsense, please be the official..."

"I know!" Li Jinglong smiled, "I know you are thin-skinned!" As he said, he continued to smile, "I'm sure I'll send someone to Lianxianglou and book a room!"

"The official did not agree..."

Before Tie Xuan finished speaking, the turtle-bashi came over again and said with a smile, "Tie Shi Lu, Your Highness is waiting for you, come with the miscellaneous family!"

~~~

Zhu Yunyu was wearing a blue cotton robe and sat at the window. Memorials on the imperial desk were piled up like mountains, blocking his face.

"My minister Tiexun, kowtow to Your Highness!"

"Dings and stones are free from gifts!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled and walked out from behind the imperial desk. He helped the other party up with his own hands, pressed it on the round stool, looked at it carefully for a few more times, and smiled, "It's strong, it's thicker!"

Tie Xuan is a tall and big man. After several years of experience, he looks more capable.

"Your Highness has been reduced!" Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Yunxiu and said in a state of emotion, "I have lost a lot of weight than when I summoned the minister last time!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand, unwilling to talk more about this topic.

State troubles, endless busyness every day, and then I have to...

"You have done a good job in Xi'an in recent years!" Zhu Yunxiu sat on the throne and said with a smile, "Military logistics and meticulousness, and the military farming and distribution of land also made the soldiers feel fair and satisfied. The local elders praised the reclaimed desert land and water conservancy. The King of Qin also kept submitting memorials to the solitary, saying that you would keep you for a few more years! During the evaluation at the end of the year, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel gave you a top-notch superior!"

"I dare not be praised by Your Highness, it is just my duty!"

He has indeed made great contributions in Xi'an in recent years. The people from Qin Fan were replaced by Zhu Yunyu. The power of the army's logistics and military supplies, military farming and other matters were all taken to the hands of the General Secretary, and Tie Xuan made an indelible contribution.

"Why do you have to be humble? If you do well, you need to reward me!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

As he said that, he paused and said seriously, "This time I asked to go to Beijing, you will transfer you to another place to be an official!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Xuan quickly stood up and bowed his head, "I am all up to your superiors!"

"You don't ask where you are?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

It was rare that Tie Xuan also showed a smile on his face and whispered, "Where you go, you are for Your Highness and serve the Ming Dynasty. Why bother ask!"

"Good words!" Zhu Yunxiu stroked his hands, "The court now lacks the loyalty of you!" As he said, he smiled bitterly, "Now, the officials are desperately trying to come to Jiangnan, and they don't want to go to a slightly poorer place. I heard what those officials said, and going to those poor places to become officials and even having to make money by themselves, is such an outrageous!"

In fact, this is true. The salary in the Ming Dynasty was meager, and the expenses of being an official were high, but he dared not embezzle and take bribes. If he went to a wealthy place, he would always have some fun becoming an official. But if he went to a poor place, it would be really miserable.

If you go to border areas such as Yunnan, Liaodong, Goryeo, etc., you will even want to die.

"I hate the poor and love the rich, so everyone!" Tie Xuan said lightly.

Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of hot tea and continued to speak, "If you want to go to a good place, I will not give it to him. The Yunnan Salt Administration was a first-class job just now, but I asked him about it. He pretended not to know about the salt administration and customs of Yunnan. That's OK, he should not be a salt administration, and go to Guangxi to be the county magistrate."

As he said that, put down the teacup, Zhu Yunxiu continued, "In the Xi'an, the Ministry of Personnel will send someone to take over. This time, you go to Jiangnan, Zhejiang, and Zhang Shan's place to be your deputy!"
