Chapter 815 Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have really ruined this servant's life!
Chen Zhong sensed something was wrong.
What? It's perfectly acceptable that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty couldn't do heavy work, but the short, ugly Japanese deserve to die because they can't do heavy work?
That makes sense, after all, short and ugly people don't look like humans and don't seem human, so they really can't be treated as human beings.
Chen Zhong pondered for a moment, then smiled sinisterly: "Moreover, although there aren't many skilled eunuchs in the palace, we can always muster three or five."
"If the Prince Consort could get some new anesthetic from the Fifth Prince, more of the short, ugly men would survive after the surgery."
"I can also get a few more skilled discipliners from the palace to teach these short and ugly boys what manners are. Once they've been taught, they won't have any disloyal thoughts."
"Furthermore, does Your Highness insist on having these short and ugly men do heavy work? In my humble opinion, perhaps we could try a few of them first to see how heavy the work is, and then we can make other arrangements for the rest."
"..."
Ok?
Good guy!
Yang Shaofeng originally thought that the images of dead eunuchs in TV dramas were just prejudices in people's minds. But after truly seeing the other side of Chen Zhong, this dead eunuch with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Yang Shaofeng realized that it wasn't that people's prejudices were so rigid, but that these dead eunuchs could be so evil that they were rotten to the point of having sores on their heads and pus flowing from their feet.
Who would have thought that this seemingly upright eunuch, who could not possibly be associated with the words "wicked" or "treacherous," could be so vicious?
Yang Shaofeng clicked his tongue twice and said, "Then let's do as Mr. Chen says, and we'll study it slowly later."
No sooner had Yang Shaofeng finished speaking than Zhu Biao said, "Leave eight short, ugly eunuchs for Chen Zhong. Train them well, and then send them back to Japan to serve under the so-called Tenko and Kaneyoshi, as well as Tenko and Kanpaku in the northern Japan."
Yang Shaofeng was slightly taken aback. Zhu Biao then turned to look at Chen Zhong and said, "Give them a good lesson, but don't teach them anything serious. Just teach them how to flatter and bewitch people."
"In addition, after they went to Japan, they were instructed to focus on remaining in Japan, and only need to send someone to contact them once a month or once a quarter."
"When needed, make sure they can do what they are told."
Chen Zhong agreed without hesitation, but Yang Shaofeng frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Biao, asking, "Send that shorty back to Japan to lie low?"
Zhu Biao grunted in agreement, turned his head to look north, and said, "Hu Yuan won't last much longer."
"Once we destroy the Yuan dynasty, we should start working on things in Japan."
"With these short, ugly eunuchs lurking in Japan, we can make the Japanese run into chaos first."
"What if Tianhuang wants to ascend the throne and become emperor again?"
"What if Kaneyoshi and his so-called Shogun, Kanpaku, and the like also think about becoming emperor?"
"Anyway, no matter who becomes emperor, it will all be an act of usurpation in the end."
"..."
Looking at Zhu Biao, who was talking eloquently in front of him, Yang Shaofeng felt a sense of frustration, wanting to complain but not knowing where to start.
It has to be the Zhu family who know how to have fun.
In order to smash the windows of Arughtai's house, Zhu Laosi searched through history books and found the Siege of Baideng. Then, shouting the slogan of avenging Emperor Gaozu of Han, he headed straight for the grassland.
If you, Zhu Biao, can't find a suitable excuse, then just create one.
Their hearts are completely black!
Just as Yang Shaofeng was inwardly complaining, Chen Zhong quietly took a half step back and said with a fawning smile, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, His Majesty also asked me to bring you some things, saying that you should handle them as you see fit."
Zhu Biao and Yang Shaofeng both looked at Chen Zhong, who immediately felt like crying but had no tears, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
No wonder books and plays say that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.
It turns out that not only is it dangerous to follow the emperor, but even being sent out by the emperor on errands can easily incur the wrath of the crown prince and the prince consort.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have truly ruined this servant's life!
Chen Zhong chuckled twice, turned to the guards and gave them a few instructions. After the guards brought over two large boxes, he said with a fawning smile, "These are the memorials that His Majesty asked me to bring to Your Highness and the Prince Consort. They are all the memorials that have been piling up recently. His Majesty said that Your Highness and the Prince Consort should finish processing these memorials as soon as possible."
As Chen Zhong finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng froze on the spot.
During this period?
Judging from Chen Zhong's words, these memorials started from the day I and Black Sesame Dumpling ran away to Japan, and continued to accumulate until Chen Zhong, this dead eunuch, came to Dengzhou Prefecture.
Good heavens, several months have passed, and it's almost the end of the sixth year of Hongwu's reign, and these memorials still haven't been processed!
Old Deng has become complacent!
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting, while Zhu Biao silently opened the box, picked up a memorial, and began to read it.
Then, Zhu Biao handed the memorial directly to Yang Shaofeng, his face dark, and said, "This was written by your good student, brother-in-law. Take a look first."
Yang Shaofeng took the memorial, glanced at it a few times, and then silently closed it.
Zhou Jingxin's "A Memorial on the Shortage of Female Workers in Ningyang County".
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao handed over another book.
Lu Buping's "A Memorial to the Throne on the Tribute of Qixia Apples".
The other book is Chen Mo's "A Memorial to the Throne on Dredging the Grand Canal".
Then came Wang Guangyang's "Memorial on Resuming the Grand Canal Transport", Luanxian Magistrate Zhou Liangyu's "Memorial on Requesting the Relocation of the People", and Zunhua Magistrate Geng Xingming's "Memorial on Requesting the Relocation of the People".
Yang Shaofeng clicked his tongue.
No wonder Old Deng was unwilling to deal with these memorials.
The people who wrote these memorials were really no good.
On the surface, Zhou Jingxin's memorial was a reminder to the emperor that various prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty might face a shortage of female workers. In reality, he was just repeatedly saying that Ningyang County was short of people, and the words "please relocate people to Ningyang County" were written in bold.
The remaining memorials from Chen Mo, Wang Guangyang, Zhou Liangyu, and Geng Xingming were all the same.
Chen Mo and Wang Guangyang were somewhat better off, at least they used the Grand Canal and grain transport as an excuse, while Zhou Liangyu and Geng Xingming didn't even bother to pretend, they directly requested the Ministry of Revenue to relocate people to their jurisdiction.
The only document that didn't call for personnel and could be considered somewhat normal was Lu Buping's "Memorial on the Tribute of Qixia Apples".
Then the problem is coming.
Lu Buping didn't actually demand anyone, but he did insist on making Qixia apples a tribute item, essentially replicating the actions of a certain county magistrate, prefect, or imperial son-in-law.
So, when Lu Buping, that corrupt official, wrote his memorial, he only mentioned Qixia apples and not Dengzhou Qixia apples.
Damn it, I'll transfer him to Dengzhou Prefecture tomorrow to be the executive deputy prefect!
