Chapter 54: The Essence of the Drama

Zhu Youzhu did not react at all to his son's proposal to let the vassal kings of various places pay taxes, and for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were useless except for wasting food. They are all descendants of Zhu Di, how did their own family go up, Zhu Youzhu is naturally clear, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he played more ruthlessly.

It's just that Zhu Di is not Zhu Yunwen's rookie, he has not been fooled into being a fool, and with the continuous efforts of the next few generations, the Ming clan has finally become what it is now.

There are many lawless things in the vassal kings in various places, and there are many fields that have been invaded, so they simply let them pay taxes directly, and the money should be used to build the country instead of giving them a ruined family. Zhu Youzhu is not worried about this kind of thing at all, let the nobles pay taxes, let the civil officials pay taxes, there will be people who oppose it, and there will be people who are dissatisfied, but let the vassal king pay taxes, no one will stand up and say irresponsible things without opening his eyes.

As for the vassal king, I'm sorry, you don't have this opportunity, you can't even come to the capital, you say a fart.

Zhu Youzhu didn't say anything, but his attitude was already obvious, that is, he acquiesced to his son's statement, as a clan, it is not right for you to do something for the royal family, and the exemplary role of taking the lead is naturally to play. The father and son tacitly didn't mention it, but just walked into the hall together.

Zhu Houzhao came to his place and stood up, Zhu Youzhu sat up and sat on his dragon chair, and the courtiers below paid homage.

After all the etiquette was over, He Neng, who was standing on the side, shouted loudly, "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat", and then the early dynasty officially began.

"The minister has his own music!" Shouning Hou Zhang Heling didn't wait for others to stand up, he stood up first, and said loudly, he is here to do big things, of course, he must be the first to stand up, and others can't let others steal the limelight. I have spent so much effort, done so many things, and offended so many people, how can I let others be in the limelight?

Although Zhu Youzhu knew what Zhang Heling was going to say, he still had an expression of not knowing anything, nodded lightly, and then said, "What's the matter with Shou Ninghou?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, please pay the Zhuangtian tax!" Zhang Heling's words were so loud that they should have shocked the entire hall, but no one present didn't know that the effect was not very good, but this did not delay Zhang Heling from continuing to act, he said with a righteous face: "Zhuang Tian is given because of the knight, Zhuang Tian does not make a book, does not pay taxes, this is the gift of the court and His Majesty to the nobles and relatives." ”

"However, the daily needs of the imperial court are insufficient, there are Tartar captives in the north, barbarians in the south, disasters are still frequent in various places, and the people are becoming more and more miserable, and the ministers are anxious in their eyes."

"The ancestors of the ministers are the court, for the Ming Dynasty, sacrifice their lives and forget death, and the ministers should also pursue the virtues of the ancestors, for the Ming Dynasty, the ministers are not afraid of destroying the family and relieving the difficulties, not to mention the Zhuangtian tax? The ministers are willing to pay the tax on the fields of Zhuang, for His Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, and for the world. Speaking of this, Zhang Heling directly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and pestle the ground with his head: "Please play by Your Majesty's ministers." ”

Many people looked at Zhang Heling, and they were very disdainful in the face of this uncle of the Ming Dynasty, what ancestor, what did your ancestor do, you don't know? You can get the current marquisate title, isn't it because your sister is the queen? Of course, this is something that must not be pronounced, because it is not a meritorious service to the country that he has cultivated a queen for His Majesty?

Without waiting for Zhu Youzhu to open his mouth, Zhang Mao, the British public on the side, also stood up, didn't say a word, directly lifted his robe, and knelt on the ground like a jade pillar pushing a mountain of gold.

"Your Majesty, I think what Marquis Shouning said is very true!" Saying that, he raised his head and said: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to pay the Zhuangtian tax, and the ministers are willing to pay taxes for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, for the benevolence of Your Majesty, for the people of the world, and for the foundation of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty." Please Your Majesty, for the sake of the sincerity and loyalty of the ministers, allow the ministers to pay the tax on the farmland. ”

As soon as the British Duke Zhang Mao's voice fell, Xu Yongning, the Duke of Dingguo, also knelt down directly and said loudly: "Your Majesty please pay the Zhuangtian tax!"

The other nobles were naturally not to be outdone, and they all knelt down directly, a large piece of hulala, and knelt down directly and said: "Ministers, please Your Majesty pay the Zhuangtian tax!" ”

Although he knew that this was a ghost caused by his son, Zhu Youzhu was still excited, this is Daming's courtier, Daming's courtiers are so loyal, why is Daming not happy? Of course, this excitement is only a momentary thing, because he knows that it is fake. Turning his head to look at his son, Zhu Youzhu opened his mouth and asked, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

"Back to my father, the minister thinks this move is inappropriate!" Zhu Houzhao's face was serious, and he shook his head like a rattle.

"I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, although the country is insufficient, and there is a danger of Tartar captivity in the north, but I can't pay the Zhuangtian tax!" Zhu Houzhao said awe-inspiring righteousness: "But the ministers feel that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, in this case, the ministers please pay the emperor's tax, and our royal family eats a little less and wears a little less, which is nothing." ”

Zhu Youzhu listened to Zhu Houzhao's words, nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard and said appreciatively: "The prince is reasonable, please hurry up, don't think about it in the future." ”

Of course, you can't just agree to it, this food is too ugly, why do you have to ask for it again and again.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" British Gong Zhang Mao stood up at this time and said loudly: "What is the system of Huangzhuang paying taxes? It is the sin of the courtiers to let His Majesty cut down on food and clothing, if His Majesty does not pay the tax on the fields of the Zhuang, and the tax on the Huangzhuang, it is an insult, and the so-called Lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the ministers will die in this hall today. ”

Saying that, the British Gong Zhang Mao took off his hat, because he had to untie the rope, so the movement was not fast, and the old man's hands were shaking, and it took half a day to untie the rope tied under the neck.

At this time, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, reacted and went up directly and hugged the waist of the British Duke Zhang Mao: "British Prince, you can't!" No, I can't! ”

The other nobles also came up to hold the British Duke, and the British Duke was still struggling there: "You let go of me, I will crash to death in this hall, the Ming Dynasty has raised my British Mansion for more than 100 years, and it is time for me to be loyal to death!" ”

The civil officials watched this scene dumbfounded, they were all shocked, why do you have so many scenes? It's all a game we play, when did you learn it?

Zhu Youzhu also looked at this scene dumbfounded, and was killed, do you dare to do it? If you have a minor illness on weekdays, you have to go to the palace to ask for a royal doctor, and now you can still be loyal to death? However, Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was acting, and he couldn't scold him, so he quickly pretended to be frightened and stood up, looking serious: "Prince, hurry up and stop the British duke, don't let him act like this." ”
