Text Chapter 301 Extreme Eyes Chutian (4)

Since you want to be a virgin, you must be prepared to break through the bottom line; Since you are indiscriminately sympathetic, you must be prepared to get into trouble. It's like this to help the old man and the old lady who has fallen, and it's the same way to send money to Hanako.

Jingzhou's Huazi haven't been able to celebrate the festival like this for a long time.

Last time King Glossy wished a big birthday, they went to please them, and they ended up begging for a stick. But I didn't expect that a clan from Shu could only take the title of donkey cart, and he would be so generous. Ten coppers per person can buy at least half a catty of rice. If you can get lucky three or five times, then you can open your belly and be full for two or three days!

Such good news spread rapidly to the eight towns at the speed of light. All those who know the news, even if he is not so miserable as to ask for food, he will weigh the pros and cons, why not wipe his face and boldly stretch out his hand?

The final outcome was that there were only 8,000 Huazi in Jingzhou City, and 12,000 came in the end. Such a large group gathering, and the encirclement of a county palace, immediately alarmed the officials at all levels of Jingzhou Mansion, and made a fuss that Chen Ruimo, the governor of Biyuan who was sitting in Jingzhou, also had to ask the reason.

However, hearing the news, the perpetrators did not panic.

His face stiffened for only a few breaths, and then he quickly poured the remnants of the cup into his throat. Putting down the cup, he instructed in unclear words: "Lu Tou, go out and shout to the beggar: just say that in the old place, there is a queue at the riverside wharf, and there are ten coppers for each person!" Tomorrow is my own time, see you or leave! How can there be so many copper coins now, and you don't have to look at the time to ask for money! ”

Without waiting for Lu San to speak in a hurry, the perpetrator added: "Tell them clearly, the prince of the Shu Domain, govern the country with benevolence!" The son of the Shu Domain, faith and righteousness are heaven! If you want to eat enough every day, go to Shu to cultivate the fields! ”

……

It's not a big deal to settle things with money, and the money that can be settled is not your own. Zhu Zhihan overrode public opinion and used the start-up fee of the money village to settle the name Huazi.

Settle the situation and call Hanako to delay a lot of time, and even miss the auspicious time. On the evening of the second day, Zhu Zhihan, accompanied by the King of Changyang, visited the palace of King Hui and met with many clan leaders of the Liao Domain.

The Liao clan was very enthusiastic about Zhu Zhihan, but Emperor Chongzhen's own uncle, Zhu Changrun, the king of Hui, sent Zhu Zhihan away with only a nine-grade book in his mansion. The book of the book was stopped in front of the Duanli Gate to Zhu Zhihan and the king of Changyang, the ancestral family law, and the two kings were not allowed to meet unless they had an edict; If there is a traffic situation in Zongfan, it is also not allowed by the laws of the imperial court. So please come and go quickly, and don't disturb King Hui's meditation and enlightenment.

Zhu Zhihan was sent away, but there was no chance to get out. He said goodbye to Jingzhou on the morning of the third day.

The next target is the focus of the prince's confession: Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu.

Take a boat from Jingzhou to Wuchang, smooth sailing, more than one day and night can go directly to the city of Wuchang. Zhu Zhihan could have gotten off the boat in a certain city on the way, found a gentle village to rest, and by the way, visited the long-loved Chu land, such as Yueyang Tower and other places. But because there was less entanglement, at the insistence of Lu San and others, they continued to move forward and spent the night on the ship.

There are many people on the ship, and the place is narrow, and there are gifts and supplies, so there is not so much attention. The two leaders, Zhu Zhihan and Lu San, shared a separate cabin, and the others had to be crowded together.

The river is windy and surrounded by water, and it is colder at night than on land. Lu San pulled the quilt and tried his best to cover his upper body more without exposing his feet. He heard the movement next to him in the dark, so he was fascinated and said: "Childe, I didn't expect to use a mere hundred taels of silver to buy the hearts of the people of Jingzhou. No wonder the prince wants to use you to envoy to the Six Kingdoms! ”

The words of "envoy to six countries" made Zhu Zhihan laugh. Liao, Chu, Jing, Ji, Rong, and Min, aren't they exactly the Six Kingdoms? Just add the county of Huayang, that's six and a half. King Hui was not on the list of visits, because the matter of sending money was a big problem, so he had to show one or two politely. King Hui avoided it, and there was no loss to Zhu Zhihan, because the gift he gave to King Hui was still sent out with great fanfare, so that the officials and people of Jingzhou City knew about it.

The national gift of one domain to another, even if it is a straw, how dare the nine-grade book of King Hui's Mansion be easily refused? IN ADDITION TO KING HUI, THERE IS ANOTHER VASSAL KING IN CHU WHO DOES NOT NEED TO GO, AND THAT IS ZHU CHANGYING (YING), THE KING OF GUI IN HENGYANG MANSION. When Zhu Zhihan was summoned before leaving, he asked Shizi why he didn't even go to King Min's Mansion in Wugang Prefecture, why didn't he go to King Gui's Mansion halfway through.

Shizi just replied lightly: "One is enough, you don't need two." ”

What does this mean, Zhu Zhihan hasn't figured it out until now.

Chu Fan is the next stop, the most important one, but also the most difficult one.

The Chu Domain, together with the Qin, Zhou, and Shu domains, was known as the "Four Rich Domains in the World". Their lineages can be traced back to Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang. The descendants of the Chu Domain multiplied, the population was large, and it has always been known for its lawlessness in the Ming Domain.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing (1545), on the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Zhu Yingyao, the son of Chu, openly murdered his father Zhu Xianrong, and the case was extremely serious and the circumstances were extremely bad.

According to the case file, "(Zhu Yingyao) first used a poisonous donkey, but to no avail, he hit the top with a copper melon. "The ending of killing his father and rebelling against his son Zhu Yingyao is, of course, to ambush Jingshi, and burn his body to ashes. After the tragedy, people investigated the cause and found that the victim Zhu Xianrong was not a good thing. He was "tyrannical in his country, unbearable both inside and outside, and alienated." "Zhu Yingyao, the son of the family who had a foot disease, had long disliked him, and asked him to become a monk and become a Taoist priest in order to make way for the other sons he liked.

The people of the time did not sympathize with Zhu Xianrong's murder, but applauded: "When I heard that the king of Chu was extremely greedy, people were helpless. Heaven avenges the people of Chu (revenge), it is a fake hand of his son, and the body kills the son to destroy, and the reason that heaven will win over people! ”

ZHU YINGYAO, THE FATHER AND SON OF THE MURDERER, DIED, AND WAS SUCCEEDED BY ZHU YINGYAO (NEXT TO THE WORD FIRE, XIAN), THAT IS, THE FATHER OF ZHU HUAKUI, THE CURRENT KING OF CHU. From the thirtieth year of Jiajing to the fifth year of Longqing, Chu Fan finally calmed down for a while. By the time Zhu Huakui was on the throne of Chu, the Chu clan once again entered a period of chaos.

The chaos first started with Zhu Huakui's bloodline. When he was thirty-five years old, Zhu Huakui, a member of the Chu clan, reported to the court that Zhu Huakui was not the biological son of King Chu Gong, but adopted; Ben is not surnamed Zhu, but surnamed Wang.

Royal blood is a big deal. As soon as this incident came out, many Chu clan clans were immediately involved, such as the king of Dong'an, the king of Wugang, and the king of Jiangxia, all of whom sided with the plaintiff Zhu Huabao. Then the party struggle in the imperial court was also involved, and Shen Yiyi, the first assistant of the cabinet and the leader of the Zhejiang Party, always stood on the side of the defendant; Guo Zhengyu, a member of the Donglin Party and a secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Shilang Administration, stood on the side of the plaintiff, and the supporter behind it was Shen Li, the second assistant.

The first assistant and the second assistant competed for the position, and the Huguang official government didn't want to manage it, but it had to manage it. The Huguang government sentenced more than 70 people, but still did not find any evidence that Zhu Huakui was not surnamed Zhu but Wang. Seeing that the situation was getting bigger and bigger, the emperor suddenly issued an order to terminate the investigation of the case. I'm afraid that at this time, the clever Wanli Emperor has already discovered: this is not a bloodline dispute, but a struggle for interests and rights!

But Emperor Wanli didn't expect that although he was an emperor, he still couldn't suppress the greed of human nature, including his own. Three months later, another civil strife broke out in the Chu domain. This civil strife killed a governor, several clansmen, and mobilized the troops of the three provinces. The whole country was shocked by the turmoil of the Manchu Dynasty. This is the Chu Fan robbery case.

The cause of the big case was a petty official's attempt to ascend to the sky in one step.

In August of the 24th year of Wanli, Wang Shouren (Note 1), a hundred households in Beijing, said that when his distant ancestor Wang Bi (Note 2) died, the inheritance was obtained by Princess Chu (the daughter of Wang Bi), and the principal was converted into more than 13 million taels of silver with interest. He was willing to donate all this huge amount of money to the imperial court to rebuild the three major halls that were destroyed by fire.

More than 1,300,000 taels of silver! This thing sounds mysterious and mysterious. However, the Wanli Emperor, who was counting on getting rich overnight, still ordered the celebrant to take Wang Shouren to Huguang, and together with the local officials of Huguang and the governor of the Chu Prince's Mansion, Shi Shi, to find out the truth.

Disaster fell from the sky, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, swore an oath, and was even willing to move his family out of the palace and let the court dig the ground and search.

Of course, it was not possible to demolish the palace and dig the ground, and the investigation really proved that what Wang Shouren said was all untrue.

The emperor put on a posture of strict investigation to the end, so that Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, understood the emperor's intention to take the opportunity to rob. In September of the 32nd year of Wanli, Zhu Huakui decided to offer 20,000 taels of silver to the emperor "to help the palace workers". However, Zhu Huakui never expected that as soon as the silver crossed the Yangtze River, it was robbed by hundreds of Chu clan sects in Hanyang.

The poor emperor robbed the vassal king, and the poor relatives also robbed the vassal king. Even the people understand it, this is a drama of robbing the rich and helping the poor. But I never expected that the heavyweight news was still to come!

The emperor was robbed, the vassal king reported the case, and the magistrate of course arrested people. Considering the preciousness of the prisoner's status, Zhao Kehuai, the secretary of the military department, the right deputy capital Yushi, and the governor of Huguang, decided to interrogate him personally. During the interrogation, the prisoner suddenly broke the shackles and slammed Zhao's head, causing him to die on the spot. After Zhao Kehuai's death, the people of the Chu Sect did not stop doing anything, and simply attacked the local yamen, causing officials to flee and the people's hearts to surge. Wu Kai, the inspector of the imperial history, immediately reported to the imperial court that Chu had betrayed. The criminal offense turned into a rebellion, and the matter became a big one.

The emperor received a report from Shen Yiyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, thinking that King Ning's rebellion had recurred, and he was immediately furious and planned to transfer the armies of the three provinces to suppress it.

Fortunately, the decree has not been made, and the chaos has been calmed. Huguang made Li Tao realize the extreme seriousness of the situation. He persuaded the clan to subdue the law, and the troublemakers who took the lead were restrained, which avoided a war in which a large army conscripted and suppressed the Chu domain.

The robbery case ended peacefully, and the people of the Chu clan who participated in the disturbance were punished. But the matter is not over yet, and it continues to ferment as more officials get involved.

These officials involved in this case were either promoted or killed because of this case; or leave a last word to avenge his grievances, or write articles to complain about the people of Chuzong.

The loudest voice is still the Donglin Party, which is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They violently attacked Shen Yiyi, who was not a member of the Donglin Party, in unison: a small riot, why did Shoufu ask the emperor to mobilize the army to suppress it?

The Donglin Party's statement is well-founded, logically rigorous, reasonable, and deeply moving. The real white and the real little two sound very reasonable, and the malicious fake little white and fake little two sound very reasonable. The vast majority of the people of the Ming Dynasty have no experience in storming the compound of the S Committee, nor do they have the experience of killing the Secretary of the S Committee on the spot, so most of the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people of Huguang, have a lot of opinions about Zhu Huakui, the unjust gainer of the Chu Domain.

After a few big cases, Chu Fan's vitality was greatly damaged. Centrifugation up and down, like a stranger. Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is no longer a respectable prince in Chu; Within the clan, he is not a convincing parent.

Zhu Huakui once cursed and swore in his report to the Wanli Emperor that he only had 180,000 taels of silver!

But now Zhu Zhihan wants to do the work of Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, and ask him to take out the silver.

The difficulty can be imagined!

……

After thinking about it in the dark for a long time, Zhu Zhihan didn't come up with the attention to deal with Chu Fan. Finally, he remembered that there was one more person in the cabin. Maybe two stinkers can top half Zhuge Liang? So he asked: "Lu Tou, you have traveled from south to north and have seen a lot of knowledge, can you tell me, how to start this Chu Domain?" ”

The sound of water outside the window is like a song that can never be sung. Lu San was hypnotized by the sound of water, his eyelids fought, and he was about to fall asleep, when he heard Gongzi asking, he had to hold back his tiredness and replied: "The little one is a rough man, how do you know this?" It's just that when I came to Renshou County at the beginning of the year, I saw the tragic situation of a county, and the little one understood: As soon as the thief came, what officials, gentlemen, and common people, in the eyes of the thieves, they were all pigs to be slaughtered! ”

"Pigs to the slaughter!"

Zhu Zhihan widened his eyes and thought: How could those pigs know that when they happily ate this meal, they would be tied to their hooves and sent to the slaughterhouse?

He wanted to exchange a few more words with Lu San, but in the corner of the cabin, a heavy snoring like a pig had already sounded.

Note 1: This person has the same name and surname as the sage Wang Shouren.

Note 2: Wang Bi, the king of the double sword, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, was named the Marquis of Yuan in the twelfth year of Hongwu, and his daughter married Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, in the same year. In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, he died because of the Lanyu case.
