I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Li Hongji was taken to the office of the supervisory office. Looking at the people in the courtroom, Li Hongji already had the answer in his heart.

Qianhu said indifferently: "We are the Superintendent of Mizhi County. Yan Zibin is corrupt and broke the law. We have been eyeing him for a while."

"We all know what happened between you and Gai Hu. It's not your fault. What you did was not wrong."

"You go!"

"Can we go?" Liu Zongmin was taken aback, unable to understand:

"When I was in prison, I thought we were going to end the game. I didn't expect the court to be so easy to talk to."

Baihu Li Gui seemed to have heard some joke, and said aside: "You are the first to say that our Jinyiwei is easy to talk."

After the words fell, the surrounding captains burst into laughter.

Li Hongji didn't ask any more questions, and turned around and walked out of the supervisory office.

For some reason, looking at the familiar streets and alleys of Mizhi, he always felt empty in his heart.

In the lobby yesterday, he almost killed Yan Zibin, that dog official.

But it was precisely the military life in the past three years that made him endure this thought. Now Li Hongji is very lucky.

If one can't stand it, all the good times will be gone.

It's not worth ruining my future because of those two dogs.

"Let's go."

"Go back to Li's Village?" Li Guo asked.

Li Hongji hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Go back to the barracks."

Li Guo can also understand his thoughts, this place is no longer a home, the barracks is their real home.

The three of them didn't know that since they arrived in Mizhi County, the factory guards were secretly monitoring their every move.

This has advantages and disadvantages.

The downside is that once Li Hongji made any move similar to history, he would be dealt with in advance, because Zhu Youxiao would not leave any threats.

As for the benefits, Li Hongji has already experienced it.

If a local snake like Yan Zibin hadn't been suppressed by the factory guards, he could really do whatever he wanted in the local area and become the local emperor.

But in the face of the supervisory department, he has no power to resist.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the Maoqin Hall, and Zhu Youjiao was concentrating on practicing writing.

After Xu Xianchun passed the report, he walked in cautiously, leaving half of his body free, stood still and said:

"Your Majesty Qizuo, there is news about Li Hongji."

"Speak." Zhu Youxiao leaned over the case without even raising his head, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Xu Xianchun said: "It turned out that Gai Hu and Han Jin'er committed adultery, and Li Hongji ran into him when he went back to Li's village."

"Li Hongji didn't kill him. He went to the Mizhi county government to file a case, but was arrested by Yan Zibin, the county magistrate, on trumped-up charges."

"I feel that this is a serious matter, so I ordered the local supervising department to intervene without authorization, and released Li Hongji from the prison."

What Xu Xianchun said was very disturbed, but Zhu Youxiao acted very calmly.

What Li Hongji did was really unexpected. You know, in history, he was so angry when he knew about it that he killed Gai Hu and Han Jin'er together.

With two lives at stake, the government had to ask.

So Li Hongji smashed all the pots, and even chopped off the creditor Ai Juren and Yan Zibin, the magistrate, and fled.

This also laid the foundation for Li Hongji to lead the crowd to rebel, and then Huang Liang Yimeng, the ending of the road of no return.

"Well, I see."

"Yan Zibin, how is this man?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Xu Xianchun had already done enough homework, and said without hesitation:

"Returning to Your Majesty, we have observed Yan Zibin for a while, and he has close contacts with Qian Dahe, the prefect of Yan'an, and has achieved good performance every year."

"But his reputation in Mizhi County is not very good. The local supervisor also said that Yan Zibin has been in office for five years and helped many rich families embezzle the land of the common people."

"Many people's families were destroyed because of this. Recently, a whole family named Pei Laosan died because of this. He was Li Hongji's cousin."

"It's no wonder Liu Zongmin would say that..." Zhu Youxiao muttered, then glanced over here, and said:

"Yan Zibin broke the law as an official, so he should deal with it himself."

"Qian Dahe, the magistrate of Yan'an, should also investigate, as well as Gai Hu, Han Jin'er, and Jin Yiwei, let's deal with them together."

Xu Xianchun knew that this was an important task, so he hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

"Go on, I still need to practice calligraphy." Zhu Youxiao tore off the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground, looking not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Xu Xianchun didn't dare to say anything else, and quickly withdrew.

After returning to Beizhen Fusi, Xu Xianchun ordered:

"Decree to the supervisory departments in various places to arrest Gai Hu and Han Jin'er all over the country. Once captured, they will be executed on the spot!"

"Order the Supervisory Department of Yan'an Mansion to collect criminal evidence against Qian Dahe, the prefect, and report it to the envoy. The more the better!"

Having said that, he narrowed his eyes and said:

"As for Yan Zibin, the magistrate of Mizhi County, he was ordered to supervise the local yamen, tied him up according to the imperial decree, and sunk him to death. If he can't die in the sun, he will die of thirst and starvation."

To deal with this kind of people, Xu Xianchun has ways to make them feel uncomfortable.

……

Seven days later, Mizhi County.

The county government posted a notice stating that Yan Zibin, the former magistrate of the county, was corrupt and perverted the law.

As for the Zheng family, the rich local family who had embezzled the land of Pei Lao's three families, they will also be closely watched by the supervisory office in the near future.

Sitting on the sedan chair, the old man of the Zheng family looked at Yan Zibin, who had been tied up in the sun for several days, and was almost breathless, and shuddered all over his body.

"Quick, go home quickly!"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the gate of the mansion, and quickly got out of the sedan chair. Before he could take a few steps, he heard a commotion in the distance.

The accompanying people stared carefully for a while, only to see a team of school captains turning around from the corner of the street.

The leader is none other than Li Gui from the Supervision Department.

The old man was so anxious that he passed out on the spot and became unconscious, and the rest of the Zheng family were also in chaos.

Li Gui came to the door and preached loudly:

"It has now been found out that the Zheng family took advantage of the robbery and occupied countless people and farmland in the guard station. The crime is unforgivable, and it will be investigated and dealt with by the Supervision Department according to the law!"

"All family property is confiscated, and all clan members guard the border!"

As soon as the news came out, the city was filled with eruption. When the three of Li Hongji, who had already returned to the Ningxia army, heard it, they felt even more disgusted.

This feeling that the imperial court has something to do is even more comfortable than if they killed these people with their own hands.

By the way, Liu Zongmin is now a soldier under Wang Rujin's command in the Ningxia Army.

Chapter 577 It's All About You

Li Hongji is a key person, and Zhu Youxiao will naturally pay special attention to his affairs, but no matter what, this is just an episode.

It is best to be obedient, and if you are not obedient, you will not leave any threats anyway.

In February of the fifth year of Tianqi, after New Year's Eve, the folks have their own customs in the next half month.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, some people have already started to pay New Year's greetings to each other with their families.

Speaking of the current Spring Festival customs, Zhu Youxiao found that the palace and the folk are still different. The palace is more traditional and formal, while the folk have their own customs.

Today is the first day of the first lunar month, which is called Zhengdan Festival at this time.

Since the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the palace family members and ministers began to wear gourd Jingbuzi and python clothes one after another.

For those who have relatives working in the palace, each family will steam dim sum and store meat for expenses during the first or [-]th day of the Spring Festival.

At the end of the [-]th day, they will start to pay respects to each other, which is also called "Farewell to the Old Year".

During this period of time, the food in the palace was much richer than before. People in each palace drank and gorged, and every night, they had to drum and make noise to celebrate.

There are general charcoals and door gods posted beside each gate, and paintings of gods of fortune, ghost judgments, and Zhong Kui are hung by maids in each palace.

As for the palaces of the emperor, empress and concubines, gold and silver eight treasures of different grades, Western Fan prayer wheels are hung, and there are also braided yellow coins like dragons.

As for the customs of planting sesame stalks on the oars and lanyards, burning cypresses and sticks of firewood in the courtyard, these customs in a certain place are often not exempt from the customs in the palace.

All in all, during this period of time, although the official nature of the people in the palace was different, they were equally lively.

Zhu Youxiao handled the government affairs of Xinuang Pavilion, and went back to Kunning Palace early, and the Xiaoyan and Gong'e he met along the way were several times as usual.

From the end of the year and Zhengdan, some palace people began to wear "noisy moths" on their heads.

This is a hat that is cut out of black gold paper, painted with colors, and decorated with grass insects and butterflies, and is used for festive scenes.

Some wear small gourds, which are only as big as peas, and are called "Cao Li Jin".

If you don't want to keep it after the New Year's Eve, the palace people can trade with each other from the inner city after the New Year's Eve, and live among the people, usually worth one or two taels of silver.

On the way to Kunning Palace, the lights were brightly lit, and everyone seemed very happy.

All of this is based on a strong country, otherwise the country will collapse, and there will be no reason to celebrate.

Of course, as an emperor, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but have more in his heart.

In front of the gate of Kunning Palace, the doors and windows were wide open. Seeing the visitor, Mrs. Xu hurriedly bowed her body and said, "Your Majesty...?"

Through the windows of sorghum paper, Zhu Youxiao faintly saw the mother and child in the house.

Waving to the female officer to indicate that nothing was wrong, Zhu Youxiao walked in with his hands behind his back, came to the bed, and poked the little guy who was curled up in the bed and sleeping soundly.

"Boy, wake up."

Zhang Yan's attention was always on the eldest son of the emperor, and only then did he notice that the emperor was coming, and he was looking into his arms with a smile on his face.

The prince in the bed was disturbed by someone, Xiangmeng closed his eyes, babbled and muttered, fell asleep for a while, and opened his eyes belatedly.

With fluttering big eyes, he stared at the big man in bright yellow uniform in front of him, then tore off the quilt, puffed up his little red face, looking like he was venting his anger.

This is Zhu Youxiao's eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciran, who is also the direct son of the Empress Zhonggong. He was born in the first year of Tianqi. After New Year's Eve, he was exactly five years old.

Zhu Youxiao sat helplessly by the bed and said:

"It's time to find him a teacher this year and teach him well."

Five years old, this is also the age when future generations should go to kindergarten.

Although princes usually have to wait another two years before finding a teacher in this day and age, Zhu Youxiao feels that this kind of thing still needs to be in line with future generations.

Children need to be educated from an early age.

What's more, Zhu Youxiao has high hopes on Zhu Ciran. To save Daming and make Huaxia stand upright, it is not enough to rely on himself.

Life is short, and Zhu Youxiao didn't know when suddenly, overnight, he couldn't get up.

Without a solid next generation to go on, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that everything he had done was just a flash in the pan.

To be honest, as the emperor became longer and longer, Zhu Youxiao's mind has become a little selfish now.

"The public world, the family world..."

Zhu Youxiao gently squeezed Zhu Ciran's chubby hand, although he was not the real Emperor Tianqi, but this was his own son.

Zhang Yan is also his wife.

Zhu Youxiao has lost all his relatives in later generations, so he cherishes his relatives in this world very much.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Zhang Yan swallowed what she was going to persuade.

In fact, she also felt in her heart that it was too early to find a teacher for Zhu Ciran at the age of five, but since the emperor had already made a decision, she couldn't say anything further.
