Chapter 11 Ruthlessness

Since ancient times, the disputes between the ministers of the court have been the most headache for the king, especially the matter related to the society of the world.

In recent years, there have often been floods and floods in the borderless territory of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, especially in the land south of the Yangtze River, because all the places in the south of the Yangtze River are panicked, and the people even can't sleep at night, for fear that they will be washed away by the flood when they wake up.

However, in the winter now, these conditions are much less, but the annual tariff on grain is also a problem.

"In the autumn, many places in the south of the Yangtze River were suddenly flooded, but the disaster in Jiangxi and Huguang was the most serious, although the political departments of the two places had opened warehouses for disaster relief, but Huguang did not harvest grain grains in autumn this year, not to mention the delivery of grain, most of the people still have no food and clothing, and Weichen is brave and begging Your Majesty to exempt the tax and grain of Huguang from the annual customs of Huguang, so as not to boil the people's resentment."

Zhu Youzhu sat on the dragon chair, supported his forehead with one hand, his eyes slightly closed, and he seemed to be tired, and only after a long time did he speak, "What Wang Qing said, I am accurate."

"Your Majesty!" Before the words fell, Liu Ji suddenly came out of the ranks, knelt in the middle of the hall, with a very worried look, and said: "Chu is the old Zeguo, and the cultivation is very forgiving. At the age of one year, he won Chaisang again, and Wu Yang gave it to Yan. If the land of the lake is exempted from taxes and grain, I am afraid that the national treasury will be empty next year, and if there is a flood in any other place, the treasury will have no grain to provide relief. ”

This Liu Ji is known as "Liu Mian", he is never afraid of being impeached, but he is only afraid of Wang Shu, so he refutes whatever Wang Shu says.

Zhu Youzhu opened his eyes, withdrew his hand and sat up straight, and saw Tan Yifeng standing in the crowd with his head down, as if he was distracted, so he deliberately asked aloud: "How does Tan Aiqing think this matter should be decided?"

Tan Yifeng really got distracted, suddenly came back to his senses, and came out of the list for a long time before he said: "Minister, second."

Zhu Youzhu ignored him, "I read the transcript of the political envoy of Huguang Zuobu yesterday, and it is true that there is no harvest of autumn grain in Huguang, so according to Wang Qing's advice, the tax and grain of Huguang Nianguan will be exempted, and Liu Qing will not say more." ”

"Your Majesty," Liu Ji still didn't give up, and the verbal skills of the six books of the clay sculpture were not covered, "For today's plan, it should be a small thing to take a big one!" ”

"That's it!" Zhu Youzhu naturally knew that Liu Ji and Wang Shu had always been at odds, so he immediately interrupted him, and his face was gloomy.

After drinking a sentence of "retreat", he stood up and entered the inner hall by himself.

"Talk about adults."

Tan Yifeng rushed out of the palace and returned to the house, how did he know that when he left Fengtianmen, he heard a woman calling him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the person who Zhang Junfang ordered to summon him that day.

Nan Xu bowed to him slightly, and he smiled back at her, "What is Yin Zhang's business looking for me?"

"It's not convenient here," Nan Xu looked around, "Let's talk as we go." ”

"I wonder if the queen is okay in the adult's mansion now?" Nanxu never dragged his feet when talking to outsiders, and was all outspoken.

Tan Yifeng had already guessed that she was going to ask about this when he saw her coming, so he also said bluntly: "Everything is fine."

"I heard that Niangniang has no memory now, and only recognizes one adult."

"Yes."

"Didn't the adults tell the mother, what happened in the past?"

Tan Yifeng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Why do you say it?"

Nan Xu stopped, "Is it too inappropriate for the adults to leave Niangniang in the house?"

"What's wrong?"

"Niangniang is the mother of a country, how can she be committed to living in a foreign minister's mansion."

Tan Yifeng was quite uncomfortable when he heard the word "foreign minister", but he didn't say it explicitly, but said: "But Your Majesty has divorced her."

"What if you take a break!" Nan Su was unwilling, and before she could talk about Yifeng, she answered: "As long as the phoenix seal and the golden book are in her hands, she will always be the queen!"

Tan Yifeng was speechless, Nan Xu looked at his gloomy appearance, and sneered: "My lord is a little selfish."

Nan Xu took out the letter in his sleeve and handed it to him, Tan Yifeng was slightly stunned, and paused before taking it.

Zhang Junfang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with a sad face, looked at the round door and did not take his eyes away for a long time, and the maid came to report: "Girl, the adult is back."

She smiled instantly, stood up and ran to Guitang to greet her, and threw herself into his arms.

Tan Yifeng was slightly stunned, and then asked happily, "Why did you greet me like this today?"

Zhang Junyu raised his head and looked at him, "Yesterday, that Zhu Baihu told me that there is a new dessert in the Mingpin Tea House, you can take me there." ”

Tan Yifeng pushed her away and took her hand, "He came to you yesterday?"

"Well," Zhang Junyu smiled softly, his cheeks were crimson, and he was clearly happy, "He wanted to take me to the Mingpin Tea House, but I said that you were still waiting for me at home, so I refused." ”

Tan Yifeng was silent, with a slightly sad expression on his face, let go of Zhang Junfang's hand, turned sideways and looked not far away, Zhang Junfang moved in front of him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

When she saw that Tan Yifeng was still looking like this, she smiled and said, "Have you eaten it?" I really don't have anything to do with him. ”

"Heaven and earth are for example! If I, Zhang Junfeng, have anything to do with Zhu Baihu, I will ......" Zhang Junfeng swore after saying that, Tan Yifeng hurriedly put down her hand, stared at her clear eyes very seriously, and said: "Zhu'er, after the New Year, I will resign and take you back to Jinling."

"Back to Jinling?" Zhang Junfang was naturally puzzled, "Why do you want to go back to Jinling?"

"There's no why," Tan Yifeng turned his back to her and whispered, "Zhu Baihu invites you to the Tea House."

Zhang Junfang seemed to be angry, "I'm not going." ”

"Why?" Tan Yifeng turned around, "Didn't you just tell me, do you want to go?" ”

"I wanted to go with you, when did you say you wanted to go with him."

"You hate him?"

Zhang Junfang nodded, "Well, he always annoys me." ”

Tan Yifeng knew that she was now straightforward, and she must have something to say, so she secretly thought about it, and asked her to say those rebellious words to Zhu Youzhu in person, "You go and meet him, I have prepared the carriage." ”

"You want me to see him?" Zhang Junyu immediately looked angry, "You know that I hate him, why do you want me to see him!" ”

Tan Yifeng ignored it anymore, and left past her, Zhang Junfang was full of resentment, stomped his feet and went out of the house.

When she arrived at the elegant seat on the second floor of the Mingpin Tea House, Zhu Youzhu had been waiting here for a long time, and her face was cold, standing opposite Zhu Youzhang.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and stretched out his hand to ask her to sit down.

Zhang Junfang sat down and asked bluntly: "What are you looking for me, just tell me."

Zhu Youxian was a little frightened and said, "In a few days for the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, I would like to invite you to my mansion for dinner."

Zhang Junfang showed no mercy and said bluntly: "What does your family's banquet have to do with me?"

"Miss Zhang," Zhu Youzhang's face did not change, "if you don't want to go to my house, we can also make an appointment here." ”

"Don't you see what I mean?" Zhang Junfeng was a little impatient, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, I should have had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with my family, you and I have known each other for a short time, why should we eat together?"

Zhu Youzhu frowned, "Because you and I are sick and sympathetic, we are both single people." ”

"Freemasonry?" Zhang Junfang stood up abruptly and pointed at him, "What a sympathy for the same disease, you are the one who divorced his wife, and I am the one who was divorced, how can it be said that he is sympathetic!" ”

"Zhu Baihu, I respect you everywhere because you are an official in the court with Brother Tan, but I didn't expect you to offend me again and again, don't you think you're hypocritical! You are a negative man, not to mention divorce your wife, but also to come out to look for flowers and ask willows, always look like a breeze with two sleeves, but in fact, you are sanctimonious! ”

Zhu Youzhu trembled, it turned out that he was so unbearable in her heart.

Zhang Junyan only realized that he had oversaid at this point, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, turned around and was about to leave, but he couldn't rest assured, and looked back and said: "Today's words are all here, I hope that the adults of the hundred households will not disturb my purity in the future!"
