Chapter 432: Recruiting Child Labor
The so-called people's hearts are unpredictable, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, Su Jing can be regarded as having learned it. When he first saw the county guard, Su Jing only thought that this was a nerd who had read too much, but he didn't want to, compared with the real nerd Shen Jinyi, this county guard was simply insulting the word nerd.
Mu Yuanqi slowly glanced at the county guard, and said with a smile: "How dare you, the county guard will be subject to the order of the monarch outside, how can I afford you to kneel like this?" β
The county guard was so frightened that his face turned white, and the trouble came from his mouth, he thought that Su Jing would bring a guard here, and it was very easy to clean up, but he didn't expect that this emperor would not stay in a good palace, and he actually came to such a place.
Are emperors so boring and stupid?
But the county guard didn't know that Mu Yuanqi was not a fool, he just prepared everything he should have prepared according to what Mu Zexi said, and then he explained the affairs in Beijing and came to Jiangnan.
Even if Su Jing didn't come to Jiangnan this time, he would have come in person when he saw the letter.
He is the emperor, the heaven of the great sage.
But this great sage's heaven actually leaked, what is the difference between this and him peeing his pants in public? So he came very arrogantly, he wanted to see, what happened to this great sage's Jiangnan?
Xu is the momentum of those shadow guards is too inferior, and they look like killing gods, and they instantly surrounded all the people of the county guard, Mu Yuanqi stood in the center, condescending to look at the county guard, his country, he Mu Yuanqi stood in front of him, he dared to say such a rebellious thing, and wanted to do something to Su Jing? How could he let it go!!
"Your Majesty, Weichen said the wrong thing, but this place is not suitable for Lord Su to stay, there will be danger at any time, you and Lord Su, otherwise live in Weichen's Mansion first?"
As soon as the county guard finished speaking, he was swept over by Mu Yuanqi's cold-eyed knife, "Dangerous here?" Aren't the people dangerous? He Shengde, that's how you did it!! β
People who don't usually get angry, once they lose their temper, it's really scary, Su Jing definitely believes this. Look at this time
The angry look has the momentum of Lao Tzu killing your eight lambs, but it seems to be a bit wasteful to dispatch twenty shadow guards to deal with this county guard.
Kill pigs with a cattle slaughtering knife??
What's more, this county guard is at most an old scalper.
When the people around saw the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor who was scolding them in their mouths, they were all excited for a while, and hurriedly rushed forward to complain.
"Your Majesty, two of my pigs were washed away by the water!!"
"Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law is swept away by the water every year!!"
"Your Majesty, I've eaten dry food!!"
ββΒ·
At this time, I responded to that sentence, where you put yourself, others see you as what position. Mu Yuanqi put his posture very low in front of the people, so they also understood that this was an opportunity for them to turn over themselves, and if they wanted to become corrupt officials, they could only sue the emperor.
But after all, He Shengde has been powerful for so many years, how can he be suppressed with such a little momentum?
Immediately glared at a few people fiercely, which meant to say, "After Your Majesty leaves, don't you want to be confused?"
Suddenly, the number of people who dared to speak was greatly reduced, and they all covered their mouths and did not dare to squeak.
From this point of view, He Shengde usually acts as a prestige, and his authority is still there.
However, sometimes people can't keep pulling him up, if he is drowning and he doesn't know how to hold on to the rope, then he is really hopeless.
Therefore, Mu Yuanqi did not stop He Shengde, but said with a light smile: "Today, I will give you the opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with me, your dissatisfaction with Jiangnan, and all your dissatisfaction, and I will call the shots for you." You can tell me what you are talking about behind your backs, and I will forgive you for your innocence!! β
But even so, the people who have been oppressed for a long time do not dare to say more, and it is better not to say more.
Mu Yuanqi has been quietly waiting for the people to avenge their grievances, but after waiting for a long time, no one dares to stand up and say a word that is not.
As an emperor, Mu Yuanqi felt so helpless for the first time. And behind him, the smile on the corner of the county guard's mouth, the moon is getting weirder and weirder, and it makes people feel inexplicably flustered.
I thought that such silence would end today, but I didn't expect that the first person to stand up was Su Jing.
Before Mu Yuanqi could react, a white robe flashed in the corner of his eyes, Su Jing stood in front of Mu Yuanqi, with a cold face, and scolded seriously: "Your Majesty!" The minister has an opinion about you!! β
Everyone present was in an uproar, as a courtier, he dared to have an opinion on the emperor? Is it disgusting that your life is too long?
But looking at Su Jing's face, he was not afraid at all, and the people were a little relieved, after all, he was a protΓ©gΓ© of King Sheng'an, and it was rumored that His Majesty and King Sheng'an had a very good relationship today, and he would definitely not do anything to Lord Su.
Mu Yuanqi nodded and whispered, "You say, what are your dissatisfaction with me?" β
Su Jing took a deep breath and began to count Mu Yuanqi's no.
"As a king, although Your Majesty gets up early to go to court and works late at night, it is really inappropriate for Your Majesty to live in the palace for a long time, not understanding the suffering of the people, and only dealing with the government affairs that he sees!!"
"Secondly, Your Majesty, as a king, is really harsh on the courtiers, and the ministers have been in the service for more than three months, but they only receive half of the salary, although Your Majesty himself has reduced the salary for half a year and the meal by half, but after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Your Majesty is like this, it is really a bully."
"Third, Your Majesty is pure-hearted and emotional, so that Wechen is very tired, so Wechen is dissatisfied with His Majesty!!"
Su Jing's words are all righteous and righteous, but inside and outside the words, he is quietly correcting Mu Yuanqi's name, saying that he is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
Mu Yuanqi, who was stunned by Su Jingshu, was just about to open his mouth to speak, when he heard another person walking behind him with steady steps: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are avenging." β
Meng Yu's sturdy body stood in front of Mu Yuanqi with a dignified face.
Mu Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh? What grievances do you have? β
Meng Yu looked at Mu Yuanqi solemnly and said, "First of all, Your Majesty uses the public for personal gain, and always seeks to sue the princess, which makes his subordinates very frightened. Second, his subordinates have not yet reached the crown, although he was born as a martial champion, but His Majesty can be regarded as recruiting child labor. β
As soon as the words "recruiting child labor" came out, Mu Yuanqi almost broke the gong and laughed.
Child labour?
Meng Yu, a big and three rough man, can't beat him in four or five, can he still be regarded as child labor?
However, do the math, Meng Yu does not seem to be an adult, well, after he returns to Beijing, he has to think about whether he should dig An Yan over, An Yan is not a child laborer, right?
After Meng Yu stood up, he saw that the shadow guards behind him were eager to try one by one, and they stood up one by one.
"Your Majesty, you don't have time to recruit a harem to marry a daughter-in-law, but your subordinates are over thirty years old, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law!!"
"Your Majesty, you don't like to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you can always eat the fries made by Princess Sheng'an, when can you give your subordinates a taste-"
"-Your Majesty-"
Avengery after retribution, Mu Yuanqi stood in the center, without the slightest impatience, and the domineering spirit of the king on his body infected everyone present.
With these people taking the lead, the people around him began to shake again, and at this time, a child stood up and suddenly pointed at Mu Yuanqi and said, "I have grievances!! Why is a boy of yours more beautiful than my child daughter-in-law? β
Is this a grievance?
Mu Yuanqi almost stumbled, eased his mind, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Because, I am beautiful-"
The kid glanced at Mu Yuanqi indignantly several times before turning around and standing in the crowd.
At this time, the people began to find confidence, and one by one they began to come forward to complain.
Why can the flood here wash away several daughters-in-law at this time of year? Or maybe the imperial court's disaster relief silver after the flood is too little. Or, the superior does not care whether the people live or die.
The most unacceptable thing for Mu Yuanqi is that someone bullied him under his nose to let you, hearing this, he turned around and asked the county guard: "He Shengde, where did you use the money for disaster relief?" β
He Shengde trembled and climbed forward, climbed to Mu Yuanqi, and choked up: "Your Majesty, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are serious, and it is a huge expense to dredge the river and trim the reservoir every year, and the silver taels for the imperial court disaster relief are not enough at all!" β
"Not enough? Even if the river needs to be dredged every year, does the reservoir have to be rebuilt every year!!! Ho Shengde, are you taking me for a fool? β
Mu Yuanqi's anger came very suddenly, who would have thought that the bright and handsome young man who was still smiling just now would start to get angry in the next second!! He Shengde has seen a lot of scenes, every scene, he can solve it, but in the face of Emperor Laozi, he is really out of line, thinking in his heart, why don't you hurry up and write to those people in the capital for help?
"Your Majesty, if you don't let go back first, Weichen will definitely give Your Majesty a reasonable explanation!!"
"Ho Shengde, I never need to explain. If I need an explanation, I can make up a whole bunch of them, and what I need is to give the people an explanation!! The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and I have allocated two taels of silver, but I don't know where it was used. β
Today's Mu Yuanqi is wearing a light purple plain robe, and the clothes are also extremely ordinary clothes, because he is afraid of being beaten. A black hair gently rose with the wind, standing in the crowd, like a fairy, with a fairy aura.
Su Jing has been standing behind Mu Yuanqi with a light smile, many things here, although he doesn't speak, his sense of existence is so strong.
The people were all excited, and their attitude towards Mu Yuanqi was like a dog wagging its tail at you after eating, and suddenly changed, and the eyes staring at Mu Yuanqi began to shine.
"Weichen, Weichen must give His Majesty an explanation, and give the people an explanation. But Your Majesty, this town is indeed not safe, Your Majesty should go back with Weichen first!!! β
It's not safe, but the people have been here for so long. Mu Yuanqi's heart was slightly cold, this was the Great Sage River under his control!! So he was very angry in his heart, and said coldly: "My people, I should share weal and woe!! He Shengde, I don't blame you today, you'd better open a warehouse and release grain before tomorrow, and show me all the disaster relief silver accounts of the imperial court over the years, otherwise, don't blame me for picking off your head!!! β
After Mu Yuanqi finished speaking, he dragged Su Jing and walked towards the town. It's like this on the outside, but inside, I'm afraid it's even worse.
He Shengde gritted his teeth and stared at the backs of the two people who left, and a thought flashed through his mind-
