Chapter 80: Giving Marriage

Zhu asked, “Any results?”

“Yes.” Liu Kuan said: “This Shen family is a good family, always follow the rules, this is called Shen Jing’s people, also has always been honest, and people are good, plowing and reading at home, and in past years to repair bridges and roads, to help the poor people around, for the people of good, people call it Shen good people.”

After a pause, Liu Kuan added: “This Shen Shanren knows the books and is indeed a good person.”

It seemed that Liu Kuan didn’t notice that Zhu Di’s face had pulled down.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, “His family’s manor is so big, where does the money and food come from?”

Liu Kuan said, “The Shen family would have had more than two thousand acres of good land, and there are several generations of the family business, the Shen family for several generations, but also hard work and thrift, which saved money and grain, the construction of such a manor, just ……”

The latter words, he did not continue to say, but the meaning is very obvious …… Just a good end, was blown up, an unmitigated disaster, really miserable ah!

Zhu pursed his lips, and didn’t seem to pick out any faults, only vaguely, he felt that something was wrong.

However, he didn’t show any emotion and only said faintly, “I know.”

Wait until the minister is dismissed.

Only then did Zhu Di look up and glance at also lost ha, said: “Shen family side of the situation, the brocade guards can be verified?”

Yizhuoha quickly and respectfully said, “Your Majesty, the Brocade Guards on this did not report. After all, the Shen family is an ordinary people, and does not have an official position, and the duties of the Brocade Guards ……”

Without going any further, Zhu understood what Yiluoha meant.

Jinyiwei Commander Ji Gang is a person who understands the rules, should manage only manage, should not manage absolutely will not interfere.

Zhu Di thought about it and said, “Ji Gang is right, we can’t set such a precedent, once this precedent is set, there will be no end of trouble.”

Once the Jinyiwei were allowed to intervene in such an ordinary case, then the Jinyiwei would replace the Three Judicial Departments, and their power would be infinite.

At this time, Zhu Di seemed to think of another thing, so he added: “Zhang Anshi several, can still honest?”

“Rather honestly, they come together daily and drum up stuff.”

Zhu frowned, “Didn’t read?”

“Didn’t go.”

Zhu Di’s frown apparently deepened, “Why?”

Yiluoha said truthfully, “They have been there, but the Minister of the State Scholarship said that they had already left the division and did not need to go there again.”

Zhu Di said angrily, “This person, Hu Yan, what is the meaning of this?”

Yiluoha laughed slightly and said, “Lord Hu has no desire to do the same.”

When Zhu Di heard this, he was first stunned, and then he couldn’t help but lose his smile.

This is true, Hu Yan is a scholar in the imperial examinations, which in the early Ming Dynasty, but remarkable qualifications.

However, compared to the Wen Yuan Pavilion of these court ministers with a bachelor’s degree, the reason why Hu Yan is still the State Scholarship Priest, is because he is not too enthusiastic about fame and fortune.

Such a person, you really can’t do anything about him, no desire, it’s hard to believe that you can still use a knife on his neck to beg him to get ahead?

Zhu then said, “This is known.”

As he was speaking, a eunuch came in and reported, “Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han seeks an audience.”

Zhu Di listened and nodded, “Call in.”

It was not long before Zhu Gaoxu stepped in with a brisk pace and walked in joyfully, first saluting, “Father ……”

Zhu Di closed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, “What’s wrong, are you this happy today?”

Zhu Gaoxu then smiled and said, “The child minister has a friend, this person has both virtue and talent, the child minister seeks this good friend, I am overjoyed.”

Zhu Di, however, said: ”Is that so? It’s rare that your mind is still on this, but it’s true that it’s hard to find a confidant. Just, your royal brother has just been assassinated, you are still happy?”

Zhu Gaoxu: “……”

The assassination of the matter, the East Palace has been reported, Zhu Di has ordered the Jin Yiwei to check the facts.

Zhu Gaoxu’s brain turned fast, dry smile: “The child minister is actually also worried about the imperial brother, but I heard that the imperial brother is not in any serious trouble, so I didn’t put it on my mind, when the time of the Jingdan, life and death is always between a line, this is nothing.”

Zhu Di actually agreed with Zhu Gao Xu’s words.

Zhu Di felt that his son could not be cowardly, and the assassination was not a big deal, but it was the crown prince who killed him back, which was impressive.

Zhu Gaoxu added, “Your Majesty, my son has just gone to see Mother.”

Hearing this, Zhu Di was concerned and said, “See your mother for what?”

“Greetings, of course, but my son has made an ungrateful request to Mother.”

Zhu said, “If you have something to say, say it.”

Zhu Gaoxu joyfully said: “The child minister’s Jingyi sister is not still unmarried? Now also to the age of marriage, the son of the court is thinking, have to find him a moral and talented virtuous son-in-law to become.”

Zhu instantly perked up.

The Jingyi sister that Zhu Gaoxu spoke of was actually his cousin.

That is, the daughter of Empress Xu’s brother, Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, who was Empress Xu’s niece.

This Xu Huizu, although Zhu Di’s great-uncle brother, was firmly on the side of Emperor Jianwen in the process of pacification, opposing Zhu Di’s pacification.

Until Zhu Di killed the city of Nanjing, Xu Huizu did not change his mind that Zhu Di was disloyal and unfilial.

In the face of such a stubborn with the pit stone general brother-in-law, Zhu Di also take him no way, had to make him under house arrest.

But the words are so, this is, after all, Empress Xu’s elder brother, and the Xu family in fact, in addition to this eldest brother Xu Huizu, the rest of the people in the Jingkan made a great achievement.

Therefore, Zhu Di’s heart towards Xu Huizu is both love and hate, both hoping that Xu Huizu can return to his heart, but also angry at him for not remembering his family’s love.

Now Xu Huizu is under house arrest, but the sons and nephews of the Duke of Wei’s lineage, whether it is Zhu Di, or Empress Xu, are highly valued.

After all, this is Xu Da’s direct descendants, Zhu Di has house arrest people’s father, but for these Xu Hui Zu’s sons and daughters, Zhu Di has more care.

Zhu Di’s scope of kinship is very narrow, although there are countless harem, but the real family, but only Empress Xu and three sons and a few daughters, and then some more, is the Xu family.

Wei Guo Gongfu’s several children, Zhu Di are very compassionate, after all, people’s father was convicted, Zhu Di afraid of their fear, so every time the palace has what reward, Wei Guo Gongfu instead of getting the most reward.

As for this Xu Jingyi, naturally she was especially favored by Zhu Di and Empress Xu.

Zhu Di slowly said, “Jingyi indeed also reached the age of marriage, if not his father was convicted, I am afraid that the family should have been worried, but I …… actually did not think of this, really confused ah.”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his spirit and said in surprise: “Yes, yes, men are big when they get married, women are big when they get married, Father, my son is in a hurry for the Jingyi sister’s matter, his hair is going white, I have just the right person …… here.”

Zhu Di then got up and said, “What family lineage is it?”

Zhu Gaoxu did not care, said: “Family lintel counts for nothing, anyway, no matter what family lineage, who can have a higher lineage than our Zhu family and the Duke of Wei’s family? My son thought that Jingyi sister is virtuous and virtuous, the most important thing is to find her someone who is both virtuous and talented.”

Zhu Di said, “You spoke to your mother?”

“Said.” Zhu Gaoxu cheerfully said, “The empress mother heard that there is such a person, but also greatly surprised, said that will let the eunuchs personally go to see, in a few days is a good day, so that the eunuchs take a look to know the good and bad.”

Zhu Di said with a serious face, “Jingyi is your sister, you put her marriage matter in your heart, which shows that you are a person with conscience, but …… this matter should be careful, I want to personally ask about it, you don’t want to make a mistake.”

Zhu Gaoxu heart hehehe smile, the heart has been in the imagination, the father emperor if he knows that his brother, and Jingyi sister future husband son-in-law is Guo Degang, haha …… do not know that the happy into what kind of it!

Of course, he couldn’t say it now, once he did, it would violate Father’s iron law of not probing Guo Degang’s identity.

Anyway, as long as Father likes the person, this king gives him the best of everything, and Father will then know that the only person who can truly inherit Father’s mantle is this king.

Zhu Gaoxu responded cautiously and said, “My son knows. By the way, Father, my son also heard that many people dare not speak out against Zhang Anshi.”

Hearing this, Zhu Di instantly blushed with slight anger: “What have you blindly inquired about again?”

Zhu Gaoxu said: “a few days ago, this Guo Degang is not the Shen family manor bombed? Good guy, even the children’s minister did not have such big guts, the hundred officials said, this Shen family is a good family, even they are not safe at all, randomly bullied by this imperial relatives, I think there are a lot of people rabbit death fox sad.”

Zhu Di immediately raised his eyebrows, angry, said: “You a feudal king, why do you have to manage the state affairs? You he your mother can’t settle down for a few days, give me a roll, immediately get out!”

Zhu Gaoxu’s good mood was gone all of a sudden, and his heart was thousands of grievances.

Father has now favored his royal brother to such an extent that even his brother’s wife and younger brother can’t be non-compliant.

Wait and see, when Father knows that Guo Degang is my good brother, I’ll make sure that Father is shocked, and that’s how he knows how powerful I am.

And that Guo Degang, really god, he’s the mother’s savior! One has to put down a little blood money to keep his heart on a leash.

…………

The atmosphere in the capital has been quite treacherous lately.

Things are still up there on the Shen family estate.

The Shen family suffered an undeserved disaster, and the commotion was also extremely loud, and soon the story spread in the capital.

After that, the court actually sent people to check the Shen family, quite a few want to add to the crime, why not suffer the meaning of words.

Good thing the Ministry of Justice resisted the pressure, did not find any incriminating evidence, and even the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Justice, but also for the Shen family said a lot of good words, otherwise, this Shen Shannan really want to be forced to die by those royal relatives.

But …… Daming has always been not short of outspoken people.

I heard that many royal historians have already rubbed their fists to seek justice for the Shen family, targeting the three murderers in the capital.

That Shen Jing apprehensive for a few days, see the wind reversal, so one side let people rest manor, one side of anger.

Outrageous! I, Shen Jing, am also a famous person, how can I be humiliated for nothing?

When Emperor Jianwen was around, he treated us gentry with such courtesy!

Back 10,000 steps, even when the Mongols to dominate the Central Plains, the Mongol Yuan’s son of heaven, as usual, the Shen family ancestors are also polite and respectful.
