The Penal Department Prison!

Zhu Gaoxu is quite familiar with this place.

After all, he had just come out of it.

Only this time, Prince Han came to visit the prison.

In the deepest part of the prison, there is a quiet cell, guarded by Imperial Army soldiers.

The person sitting in the cell was surprisingly his former confidant, Mr. Dai Lundai.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the door of the cell. The Imperial Army soldiers did not dare to stop him and opened the door honestly.

As soon as Dai Lun saw Prince Han coming, he immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

Chen Dai Lun has met His Highness the King of Han!

Get up!

Zhu Gaoxu spoke calmly and directly stated his intention.

I am here today to ask you to clarify your doubts. Who are you being ordered by and why are you doing all this?

By bewitching his grandson to plot rebellion, Dai Lun was already doomed to death, and might even confiscate his family and exterminate his clan!

But Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand that Dai Lun would sacrifice his own life to harm Zhu Zhanji. Is it really worth it?

Even he, the Prince of Han, had never met Dai Lun. Except for that court argument, the two of them had not even exchanged a word!

This is too unacceptable.

Dai Lun seemed to have anticipated his ending, so he always looked calm.

Your Highness, let me tell you a story!

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and ordered people to put the tea he brought in.

The two of them just sat on the floor, minding their own business and drinking tea.

I originally came from a scholarly family, but my family fell into decline. By my generation, we can be said to be poor.

In order to make a living, and to support my mother at home, I had to take the imperial examination and go on study tours to earn a small profit.

Another Yang Shiqi!

Dai Lun's experience is very similar to Yang Shiqi's.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart moved and he continued to listen quietly.

It wasn't until I was lucky enough to become a Jinshi in high school and receive a salary from the court that my life became easier.

Having said this, Dai Lun also had a smile on his face, as if becoming a Jinshi in high school was the most proud thing in his life.

But it didn't take long for the smile on his face to disappear.

After high school, I thought that what lay before me would be a bright future.

But no one expected that it would turn out to be a desperate nightmare!

It turns out that when Dai Lun was a Jinshi in high school, he was only ranked at the bottom of the second class, and was almost the same as Jinshi, so his talent was not outstanding.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi of this rank were either sent out to serve as local officials, or were thrown into various temple supervisors to serve as swordsmen and pen clerks, slowly gaining experience and qualifications.

Dai Lun was lucky, but also unlucky. He was thrown to serve as Tongzhi in Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan.

The magistrate Tongzhi has no fixed staff and is of the fifth rank. He is regarded as the secretary-general of the magistrate. He is responsible for local affairs such as salt, grain, poaching, river defense, coastal areas, river engineering, water conservancy, cleaning up military status, and appeasing the people and foreigners.

At first, the fellow scholars were still envious that Dai Lun got such a lucrative job.

After all, the whole world knows that Jiangnan is a fertile land. If you just stretch your hand, you can eat a bowl full of food and your mouth will be full of oil.

But at that time, Dai Lun was high-spirited and full of enthusiasm. He was eager to report to the court and bring peace to the people. He was upright and had a breeze on his sleeves.

It's obvious what the result is.

Because of Dai Lun's uncooperation, he was not only hostile to the powerful gentry of Suzhou Prefecture, who sent thieves and gangsters to attack and assassinate him many times, but was also suppressed by his immediate boss, the Suzhou Prefecture, and became a completely transparent person.

At that time, let alone being promoted due to his political achievements, Dai Lun was in danger every day, even his life was in danger.

Under the double blow, Dai Lun was completely disappointed with the Ming officialdom, or in other words, with the Ming court.

He couldn't understand why he ended up like this when he was obviously doing it for the court and the people.

He couldn't understand even more why the magistrates and officials of a state colluded with the powerful gentry to occupy the fields and manors, plunder the people's wealth and anointing, and persecute the local people!

Dai Lun went to court more than once to impeach the actions of his immediate boss, but as expected, everything came to nothing without even a slight reply.

On the contrary, this completely offended his immediate boss, and Dai Lun almost accidentally died several times!

However, this boy was young and energetic, so he held on to serve in Jiangnan for three years, until Zhu Gaoxu recommended Gu Zuo to be the censor of Zuodu. Gu Zuo, who had noticed Dai Lun for a long time, immediately transferred him back to the central court. Entrusted with important tasks.

Things became simple after that. Gu Zuo investigated and dealt with the Suzhou magistrate, and Dai Lun was a replica of Gu's troll. As long as an official committed any illegal act, he would show no mercy to anyone he arrested for trolling. Therefore, Dai Lun was hated and hostile by the officials above and below him.

His official career was supported by noble people, but his life was still difficult.

Dai Lun's old mother got seriously ill, causing Dai Lun to exhaust his family wealth and even owe a lot of debt.

It was a cold winter, and the royal censor was so poor that he couldn't even afford charcoal fire at home, but his old mother couldn't catch the cold, otherwise she would definitely not survive the winter.

what to do?

At that moment, Dai Lun was shaken.

He even wanted to imitate other officials and become corrupt in order to save his mother!

But it would not be easy to give up the faith that I have persisted in for my whole life.

He, Dai Lun, was persecuted in all kinds of ways in Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan, but he never wavered. If he gave up now, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts?

Loyalty and filial piety, this eternal problem, is now facing Dai Lun.

Does he choose to continue to keep his integrity and be loyal to the emperor, and sit back and watch his mother die, or does he choose to join the officials in being filial to his mother, and give up the bottom line that he has always adhered to?

How can a son of man bear to watch his mother die in pain and hunger?

During that time, Dai Lun was in great pain. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Just when he could no longer hold on, a turning point appeared.

The imperial court introduced low-priced briquettes, which together with the stove only cost a few tens of cents.

It was this briquette that kept his mother warm through that cold winter.

Later, Dai Lun learned that the briquettes were developed by the Han Palace and presented to the court free of charge.

From that moment on, Dai Lun discovered that the Prince of Han, whom he had always misunderstood, turned out to really care about the people.

After that, Dai Lun began to consciously pay attention to what the Han prince was doing, fighting corruption, reforming the electoral system, implementing the New Deal, equalizing corvee taxes...

What Prince Han did was not for himself!

Having said this, Dai Lun fell to his knees again.

Your Highness is a great kindness. On behalf of the millions of people who have never been frozen to death in the winter, I would like to thank Your Highness!

Even though everyone in the world slanders His Highness, I understand His Highness and understand his ambitions!

Zhu Gaoxu thought sadly. He didn't expect that he would be able to meet his close friend today.

It's a pity that this close friend will die soon.

So Yang Shiqi asked you to enter the East Palace, and you agreed?

My mother has died of illness a long time ago, and I am all alone. If I can help the Ming Dynasty get a master of the Ming Dynasty, I will not hesitate even if my body is broken into pieces!

Dai Lun's answer was very firm. Even though he knew very well what would happen to him, he still did not refuse.

It turns out that this is a fan of Prince Han!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and stood up to leave.

Don't worry, your tribe won't be implicated. This is the only thing I can do for you.

Dai Lun must die, this is something that no one can stop.

But it was enough that Dai Lun died, there was no need to implicate innocent people.

I would like to thank Your Highness for your great kindness!

I hope Your Highness will not change his original intention and benefit the people of the world, and I... will die without regrets!
