Chapter 59: The Son of Heaven's Troubles

Huangzhou winked and said, "The villain has something to do with the adults, can he discuss it..."

Hao Fenglou said: "Let's go, let's talk inside."

After entering the Haofenglou's duty room, Haofenglou looked at him lightly, but couldn't say enthusiastic, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. You know, I'm very busy."

Huang Bantou smiled bitterly and said, "My little man thought about what Mr. Hao said yesterday, but it's okay. In fact, there is not much oil and water in Donghuamen. You Jinyiwei wants it, but there is no reason why the villain refuses to give in. It's just that the villain's duty is that Yingtian Mansion should catch the thieves here. If you are not even sure about this, it's hard for the villain to explain. Besides, there are a few brothers under the villain, and you always have to give some food to you. You are also asking for help from the adults."

Hao Fenglou understood that the Huang team was difficult to explain, and the lower team could not explain, but he did not dare to provoke him. He became a sandwich cookie and was in a dilemma, so he asked him to "discuss" him.

After pondering for a while, Hao Fenglou was not in a hurry to give him an answer. He had to slowly hang up such a person, so he said, "Okay, I'll think about it again."

Then I took the guests away without hesitation.

Huang Bantou was so anxious. Looking at Hao Fenglou's attitude, he was really anxious and afraid. How could he know that this was Hao Fenglou's psychological warfare, and all he wanted was to force him to have no way out and get his gratitude at that time.

Hao Fenglou visited various businesses early in the morning, sat around, and found out the details roughly and knew it. But now he was a little tired, so he just was lazy and said hello to Zhou Fang, saying that he would go out for a walk and go back to Jiming Temple to rest.

It was not until now. In the past, the pilgrims were almost in the morning. After noon, they were deserted. But today it was lively and there were no pilgrims. Instead, teams of personal soldiers were standing next to the road, while others patrolled with swords.

Hao Feng was stopped by a personal army in front of the building. Seeing that he was wearing the official uniforms of the 100 households, the personal army was quite polite, and just said, "No going here is allowed."

Hao Fenglou knew that a distinguished guest had come to Jiming Temple and hurriedly said, "I live here."

When the personal army heard Hao Fenglou's speech, his tone immediately became simpler and slower. Hao Fenglou's accent was not a Beiping accent. He originally thought that Hao Fenglou was from the left and right guards of Yanshan or avant-garde, but when he heard the accent, he was at most Yanshan Central Guard. Because Yanshan Central Guards were later trained, they recruited mostly "Jingnan" soldiers who became monks halfway through, and the three personal guards of the vassal kings who started Zhu Di were not the serious "leniency of Peking", so the personal army was very rude and said viciously: "Even if you are the king of heaven, you can't pass, just wait outside."

As he was talking, a eunuch came out and looked at Hao Fenglou, saying, "But Hao Baihu?"

Hao Fenglou looked at the eunuch with tender skin and flesh, who was only thirty years old and looked a little dull, and said, "Yes."

The eunuch stepped forward and said to the personal army: "This is Mr. Yao's disciple, and he does live here."

After saying that, he led Hao Fenglou into the temple, but said to Hao Fenglou: "Today, His Majesty, the Prince and the King of Han, come to visit Mr. Yao, let's wait outside."

The emperor is here...

Hao Fenglou could understand. The eunuch led Hao Fenglou to a Zen room to sit leisurely. Hao Fenglou said, "I don't know my father-in-law's surname Gao."

The eunuch was very kind and said, "Just call me Sanbao."

Three Treasures...Three Treasures Eunuch...

Hao Fenglou was a little shocked. It turned out that this was the legendary eunuch of the Three Treasures who went to the West. However... Hao Fenglou thought to himself, what is the great thing about voyage to the West? I have been to Copenhagen by plane, what is Southeast Asia?

Hao Fenglou's face was calm and he was a little curious: "I wonder what Your Majesty did to see my master?"

Sanbao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is upset, so I just look for Mr. Yao to relieve my boredom."

Sanbao felt that he had talked a little too much, and said cautiously: "Don't inquire about some things. You are the Jinyiwei, just do your duty."

………………………………………

In the next door, Zhu Di frowned, and looked indignant, cursing: "Damn it, if I had known this was a mess, I...ah..."

The fist hit the case in front of him, and Zhu Di, who was full of complaints, continued: "When Taizu was there, the treasury was still full, but Jianwen, a kid, was in power, vigorously exempted taxes. The treasury was not supported for many years. I only realized that what I took over was a hot potato. Until now, the food and grass in the treasury could barely support it, but there was not much money left."

Yao Guangxiao was kneeling leisurely on the cushion opposite, listening patiently to Zhu Di's complaints. On one side were two princes. The prince was fat, weak and inconvenient to move. Perhaps because he had been kneeling for a long time, his face was a little sallow.

However, the second son, King Han, was energetic, and his whole body seemed fierce and fierce, with his facial features vaguely showing Zhu Di's shadow. He seemed a little eager to try and secretly went to see the prince from time to time.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Your Majesty, this is reasonable. The court has been fighting for years and the Jingnan Campaign has been fighting for so many years. Jianwen just happened to win people's hearts. The warehouse is empty. Isn't it reasonable?"

Zhu Di sighed and said to the prince: "Chi'er, you can give me a remark to you with that residence."

The prince nodded, and took out a report from his sleeve panting, saying, "I wrote to the Fuyuan in Jiangxi: Recently, the imperial court issued a large sum of money, and the value of silver bills fell by a total of 100 taels last year. Last year, the 100 taels of money was worth 40 silver. This year, it was only one or two. However, the court repeatedly discounted the salary with money. Officials were dissatisfied. Some Fuzhou officials said, "The ancestor system is not as good as the new system." The ministers did not dare to slack off and quickly investigated it thoroughly. Who knew that the only one who spoke was not just one person..."

The prince paused and said, "Zhou Bin, the inspector of Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province, reported: The inspector of Jingle County, Taiyuan Prefecture, pretended to be a bandit and robbed the government, and he had already asked for it. The man was not convinced. He said, "The court's salary is reduced every day, so he will not be a thief, what should he do..."

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and interrupted coldly, "Okay, stop reading. Mr. Yao, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Actually, what Your Majesty is not about these two trivial matters. The things in Jiangxi are nothing more than officials complaining, while in Taiyuan, it is just a thief. Although they all mean that the court's salary is insufficient, after all, not everyone in the Ming Dynasty complained, and everyone is a thief."

Speaking of this, Yao Guangxiao paused and said, "The key to the question is why Di Bao dared to send such a request. This Di Bao has always only reported good news and not others. The so-called good news and not bad news is like this. The officials in charge of Di Bao's publication have a close relationship with the Tongzhengsi and the six ministries. Without the approval of the Great Nine Ministers and the Little Nine Ministers in the Capital, such a report would never be copied. Since this is the case, I think that the news in Di Bao was originally done by the officials in the court to work together to do it on purpose. From this, it can be seen that many people are indeed dissatisfied with the salary of the court."
