Some of the nobles looked blindfolded, some were a little worried, some were expressionless, and some were slightly embarrassed.

Zhu Yijun sighed and continued: "The nobles and relatives of the Ming Dynasty are so downcast that they want to sell salt, and I don't feel good about it. Xining Hou had an even worse life, and Mrs. Xininghou's mother's family actually went to sell illicit salt. ”

"I just thought, the nobles and relatives of the Ming Dynasty have actually been in trouble to this point, and I care too little about you."

Those who don't understand this time also understand, where is the emperor pitying them, this is a mockery!

Is it the royal family that has given you less? Or are you not satisfied with your current life? actually wants to sell salt, and even sells illegal salt, the emperor is dissatisfied. If you don't get involved, you don't care, and if you do, you will tremble.

"Which Aiqing told me how difficult it is at home, if it reaches the point where he can't afford to eat, it doesn't matter, I will definitely let him afford to eat."

"Although it is difficult for our Daming, I still have some savings in the inner library, at least let you eat, it shouldn't be a big problem. Come, which Aiqing stands up and talks, I sit here and listen. ”

When the latter passage came out, Zhu Yijun didn't mean to joke at all, and his expression was unusually serious.

The nobles also understood at this time, this is because the emperor is not satisfied with his participation in the salt administration, and no one will be stupid enough to believe that what the emperor said is true.

"The minister is guilty!"

At this time, the British public Zhang Rong took a step forward, lifted his robe, knelt down like a jade pillar pushing the gold mountain, and said loudly: "The minister is guilty!" ”

At this time, the other nobles and relatives also reacted, and then knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at the group of nobles and relatives kneeling on the ground, without the slightest expression on his face. In fact, he doesn't have a good impression of this group of nobles, but when he says something, he needs the support of the nobles.

Now what Zhu Yijun has to do is to separate the nobles and relatives from the matter of salt administration, and deal with it, it will be much simpler.

Zhu Yijun believes that there are absolutely no nobles and relatives who dare to work against him, and even if there are, they are a minority. If that's the case, Zhu Yijun doesn't care about sending a few holy decrees, stealing the family and winning the title, just to vacate a few titles.

"Guilty?" Zhu Yijun pulled his lips and smiled: "It's good to know that you are guilty." ”

After all, the purpose of this time is to beat, and Zhu Yijun can't say too much, and the previous words are already very polite.

"You are all nobles of the Ming Dynasty, relatives of the Ming Dynasty, you are the pillar of the court, the cornerstone of the country, you must know what to do and what not to do. Yan Zheng, that was the main source of income for the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Taking all this money back to your own home is digging the foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

"I made it clear, whoever digs the roots of Daming, I will kill him." His eyes swept over the face of the kneeling noble, and Zhu Yijun said directly: "I also want you to have a good life, but you must remember that only if Daming has a good life, you can live well." ”

"Otherwise, when the building is about to collapse and Da Ming is gone, where will you be?"

"If the skin does not have hair, will it be attached? You don't understand these truths? ”

"Marquis of Xining, conniving at his relatives to sell illegal salt, privately storing salt, remembering his ancestors' meritorious deeds, demoting Xining Bo, fining him for three years, and confiscating all the proceeds from selling salt, I hope you and others will take it as a warning."

Xungui and Xunqi are in their hearts, the emperor is really here!

Paying some money and fines are all small things, but if you are demoted, this punishment is not light.

At the same time, everyone also knows in their hearts that this time it is a demotion, if anyone is still obsessed after this time, it will really be a knight. Xungui is different from civil officials, they have no impact if they are demoted home, but Xungui is removed from the knighthood, and the end must be miserable.

"Command, thank you!" Xining Hou hurriedly buckled his head at this time and said loudly.

The others also said loudly: "Listen to the hadith!" ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's get up!" When everyone stood up, Zhu Yijun spoke again: "I've said everything, you all go back and think about yourself!" ”

Watching Xungui and Xunqi walk out, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I really want to use Xun Gui and Xun Qi, but the necessary beating must be there, otherwise it will not be able to be used in the future. This is just the beginning, we still have to clean up in the future, and we have to replenish Xungui with fresh blood, and it is always impossible for these old people to do it.

"Let people keep an eye on the point, and if there are wrongdoers, report back in time!" On the way back to the dormitory, Zhu Yijun instructed Zhang Whale beside him.

Out of the palace gate, the British public called Xiningbo to his side, and saw that although he was a little depressed, he also had a sense of relief, so he said with a smile: "It's not bad, I thought your kid would be unconvinced!" ”

Xining Bo Song Yi said with a wry smile: "Old man, the younger generation is glad to have escaped the catastrophe. ”

"It's best to think so!" Zhang Rong smiled and patted Song Yi's shoulder and said, "Take out all your salt early tomorrow morning, and return it to Your Majesty obediently, those things are very hot." ”

Xining Hou nodded again and again: "Don't worry, old man, the juniors know what to do." ”

"That's good!" Zhang Rong nodded with satisfaction, then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Since the matter has passed, shouldn't the matter of our two families also be decided?" Both children are not young. ”

"I'm still waiting to hold my grandson, you're going to give me this chance!"

Xining Bo Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said with surprise on his face: "Everything is up to the old prince." ”

"That's okay, I'll have someone come to the door tomorrow to propose!" After saying this, Zhang Rong turned around and left.

Looking at Zhang Rong's back, Xining Bo Song Yi sighed helplessly, his heart was warm, the old man was really good at being a man. not only stopped himself at the gate of the palace, but also told himself about the family affairs of the two families.

Originally, if his family was demoted, there would definitely be people who fell into the ground, and it is estimated that no one dares to do this now.

Back in his home, Song Yi looked at the plaque of the Hou Mansion, a little stunned, the plaque of the Marquis earned by his ancestors was actually demoted to an earl in his own hands, and he suddenly felt very bad in his heart.

After a while, Song Yi said to the menzi beside him: "Find someone to take off this plaque!" ”

The door was stunned, what kind of plaque is this!

This plaque is the face of the Hou Mansion, and he didn't dare to move it easily, but now that he wants to take it off, Menzi suddenly didn't know what to do.

An evil fire suddenly rose in Song Yi's heart, and he scolded loudly: "Picked, I can't speak well, right?" ”

"Pick, pick!" Menzi quickly nodded in agreement, then turned around and ran to find the ladder.

When he returned to the back house, Song Yi found that not only his wife was there, but also his son and daughter, so he forced himself to show a smile and said, "Why are they all here?" Skipping meals? I'm hungry. ”

The Marquis of Xining looked at his father-in-law, and said with some distress: "Is it a punishment?" ”

"Well, a fine of three years, confiscation of all the proceeds from salt sales, and the demotion of Xiningbo." Song Yi glanced at his wife and knew that there was no way to hide this kind of thing, so he could only say so, but he still comforted his wife: "It's okay, there is no difference between a marquis and an earl, they are both hereditary anyway." ”

Mrs. Xiningbo's eyes turned red instantly, and she walked over and hugged Song Yi, regardless of the presence of her son and daughter.

"Xianggong, the concubine is sorry for you!"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's over, it's all over, this is already very good, the emperor is thinking about the old feelings, otherwise the title of Earl Xining will be gone. There is also good news for you, when you go out of the palace gate today. ”

"The old man of England told me about Qian'er's marriage, and the two children are not young, and he is still anxious to hold his grandson." Speaking of this, Song Yi glanced at Song Qian'er: "Tomorrow, the British Mansion will come over to propose marriage." ”

Song Qian'er was stunned, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad, her expression was very complicated.

Song Liang, the son of Xiningbo next to him, looked at his sister and said, "Congratulations sister, I can get my wish this time." ”

Seeing his sister glaring at him, Song Liang didn't care, turned his head to Mrs. Xiningbo and said, "Mother, you don't have to be sad, we said when we were in the school palace, we don't rely on the shadow of our fathers in this life." ”

"How did the ancestral title come about? It's not earned yet. ”

"Fame but need to be taken immediately, now our family has been demoted to an earl, and it is the time for my son to show his talents."

"Don't talk about a marquis, the son must come back, when he was in the school palace, the emperor said that he would be a marquis immediately, and he was a man." Speaking of this, Song Liang's voice improved a lot.

"When my son makes a great contribution, I will definitely give my father the title of Marquis of Xining to come back."

"At that time, my son will be earning a marquis by himself, and our Song family will have a double marquis!"

"Mother, do you know what the most sought-after title in the school palace is? It's the champion Hou! The emperor told us that sooner or later we will fight to Feng Wolf Juxu Mountain, and whoever can be the first to fight there will be given the title of champion Hou. ”

"You don't know that these students in the school palace are now holding back their strength to ask for this title."

"The little grandfather of the British Mansion, the little grandfather of the Dingguo Mansion, they all want it, they all said, get the title of the champion marquis, and let the brother inherit the title of the Duke of Guo. The child will also get this title, and when the time comes, the Marquis of Xining, let it to my brother! ”

Looking at his tiger-headed son, Song Yi suddenly smiled, was swept away by the depression of the demotion to the knight, stretched out his hand and patted his son's shoulder and said: "My son has grown up, yes, just do it, and earn a champion for his father." ”

"You don't have to earn the title of Marquis of Xining, your father is not old, you have to earn it for your father, stinky boy, don't you look down on your father?"

Seeing the high-spirited appearance of their father and son, Mrs. Xiningbo didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
