Li Banghua saw that Zhu Chengyao had received the will, thanked the emperor, stepped forward to help him up, and then said slowly to Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, and Zhu Xiaoyong, the son of the king of Shen, and the prince of Shen: "Lord, prince, there is a couplet in the main hall of this city god temple, I don't know if the two relatives ever know?" ”

Zhu Chengyao heard this, but he didn't know what he meant, so he looked at Li Banghua and waited for the next step from this thief inspector. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Zhu Xiaoyong, the son of King Shen, nodded and said, "What Elder Li Ge said, but the longest one in front of the City God Hall?" ”

Li Banghua nodded and said, "Exactly!" Presumably, this joint is in Lu'an Mansion City, and it should be well known! ”

Zhu Xiaoyong said: "Yes, although I don't know when this couplet was made, there are many people who know it, and everyone is amazed by its exquisite conception. ”

When Li Banghua heard this, he smiled, and then said: "The prince only saw that it was exquisitely conceived, but he didn't know that it was really a good word to persuade the world. ”

Speaking of this, Li Banghua turned his head and said to everyone: "Have you ever noticed, who can read it out in public for this official?" ”

At this time, Yuan Jixian suddenly said: "This couplet is widely circulated in Lu'an, and the lower officials are deeply impressed, and it can be read by all of you!" ”

I only heard Yuan Jixian continue: "The gods are full of virtue, and the people of hundreds of miles of land are in Yan's life, and I hope that Yongxi in the territory of ten rains and five winds will benefit Li Shu, which is to serve the spirit of the society; Mingwei Hehe, thousands of tricks to this point, see the good and talk about the evil in the dark is not happy, think about the body, should be checked before death. ”

What Yuan Jixian said was the couplet on the City God's Hall.

The upper link is to pray to the god of Lu'an City God for good weather and hope that the god of the city god will protect the people of Lu'an, while the lower link is to persuade the world to show kindness and do good, not to waste their efforts, everything will be rewarded.

After Li Banghua stayed in the City God Temple, he naturally had to visit this large-scale new governor's mansion, and after seeing this couplet on the City God Palace, he sighed for a while, and at this time he thought of using this couplet to persuade Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, to see the situation clearly and obediently.

At this time, after listening to Yuan Jixian reciting this couplet very cooperatively, Li Banghua sighed and said: "How good this couplet is!" Mingwei Hehe, thousands of tricks to this point, look at the good and talk about the evil in the underworld, think about the body, you should check the life! What is the basis for a good trick and deceit, after a good thought, it should be checked before death! ”

After saying this, Li Banghua looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, and Zhu Xiaoyong, the prince of the world, and then said: "Lord, prince, if there is chaos today, long live our emperor and eat at night, and those who are determined to cheer up, all of them are for the Jiangshan Sheji left by Emperor Taizu Gao of Zhongxing.

"Shen Wangfu is a clan and a vassal family, and the Ming Dynasty is both prosperous and lossy, and now the thieves have entered the Jin Dynasty and poisoned the people, how can the prince and the prince be indifferent and stand by? !

"Now, the emperor ordered his own officials to supervise and suppress thieves, it is the time when the Shanxi feudal domains have done their best for the Son of Heaven and shared worries and difficulties, and the Shen Wangfu has enjoyed wealth and wealth for more than 200 years, and at this time it should be even more willing to be an example! Prince, prince, tell me, is that the truth? ”

Shanxi Governor Zhang Xiao, Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou, and Yansui Governor Sun Chuanting, watching the words of the Governor Li Banghua come out, they were also impressed in their hearts, they were really the prime minister's talents, and these soft and moderate words came out, even if you King Shen had a thousand reasons, you had no way to open your mouth to refuse.

Because after thinking about the afterlife, it is even more necessary to check the pre-mortal life.

Zhu Xiaoyong looked at his father and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

The matter of withdrawing the feudal lord has not appeared in the previous dynasty, and Emperor Jianwen will not say it in the years of his reign, even during the Hongwu and Yongle years, it is also a common phenomenon to withdraw the feudal lord and seize the lord, Hongxi and Taichang are too short, and they don't talk about it.

There are cases in every dynasty, but like this Emperor Chongzhen, who is now willing to kill the nobles and give death to the princes of the clan one after another, only Emperor Taizu in the Hongwu period has done this.

Zhu Xiaoyong thinks that Shen Wangfu has no advantage compared with King Fu and King De, although he is an ancestor, but for more than 200 years, the blood relationship with today's family has long been 108,000 miles.

If Shen Wangfu rejected the emperor's will, how could the emperor have any affection for Shen Fan?

Besides, how could a vassal palace with no soldiers and no power dare to refuse the will of the current emperor?

As the saying goes, the agency is ingenious, so what's the reason for this?! Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft, supervised the division into Jin, and first came to Lu'an, if Shen Wangfu did not give a satisfactory answer, I am afraid that disaster will soon come.

At this time, I saw Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, who had lowered his eyes and weighed for a long time, raised his head and said, "What Elder Li Ge said makes sense. Since the emperor has a clear will, this king and today's son should share weal and woe and help each other in the same boat. I, the branches of the Shen Domain, will not sit idly by and watch the thieves poison Shanxi. Please Li Ge Lao, several governors, and the general town rest assured, Your Majesty will distribute the silver grain and grass of the Shen Domain, and within ten days, the children of the various clans of the Shen Domain will be prepared and delivered in full. ”

Since the matter is irreparable, Zhu Chengyao, who has been the king of Shen for decades, also knows that he should say some high-sounding scenes.

After saying this, Zhu Chengyao looked at Li Banghua and the others, changed his words, and then said: "However, this king also hopes that Li Ge Lao will do what he says. Please also ask all of you present today to give a testimony to this king, 300,000 taels of silver, 300,000 stones of grain, and after the delivery is completed, please ask Li Ge Lao to restrain all the officials and troops, and do not come to harass the various clans of the Shen Domain. ”

Zhu Chengyao's idea is also simple, since he can't hide it, then he simply accepts the order generously, anyway, there are many branches of the Shen Domain, and this number looks quite large, and if the apportionment continues, there will not be much to bear on each branch.

And if some branches dare to cry poor and refuse to give or resist the decree, then they will have a reason to write to the emperor to shirk their responsibilities.

The most important thing is that what Li Banghua said is not completely unreasonable.

A dignified old man said so many things bitterly to himself, the vassal king, which shows that this problem has indeed been explained in advance to the emperor, and he can be unreasonable in front of these civil and military officials, but how can he dare to be unreasonable to the emperor who has been on the throne for less than two years and has killed the heads of the north and south of Beijing?

He is old, and after he dies, of course, he will be a hundred, but Shen Fan, the lord of the vassal king, can't be cut off in his own hands, otherwise after a hundred years, how can he go to see the Martyr Ancestor Liezong?

Could it be that when you go underground, you have to say to the ancestors and ancestors that now this little emperor extorts money and grain to kill thieves, and he doesn't give it himself, just because of this, he has cut off the incense of the Shen Domain?

This is certainly the case, but how can it be said?

In this way, after thinking about it, Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, finally made this decision.

And as soon as his words came out, the prince Zhu Xiaoyong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he has been a prince for decades, and he is cautious every day, in order to be able to inherit the title of King Shen, and now seeing that the old King Shen is almost old, he is about to get out, but don't offend the emperor because of this matter, let the title he is about to get has become distant again.

Seeing that Zhu Chengyao, the king of Shen, received the holy decree and expressed his attitude, Li Banghua of course did not care about himself, personally supported Zhu Chengyao, and sent one way to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, as if the sword and sword shadow contained in Fang Cai's words did not exist at all.

For Li Banghua, King Shen's cooperation with him is of course the best result, after all, he supervises and suppresses bandits, and the affairs are heavy, so it is impossible to fight wits and courage with King Shen's Mansion day by day and waste energy.

After the deliberations of the Governor's Mansion were over, Zhang Xiao, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Wang Guoliang led their men and horses to leave the city of Lu'an Mansion, and each returned to his own defensive ground, urging his soldiers and horses.

Just as everyone was leaving, Li Banghua personally handed over another holy decree to Zhang Xiao and Sun Chuanting, and instructed the two of them to go to Taiyuan to convey the holy decree to Zhu Qiugui, the king of Jin, and ordered him to donate money and grain according to the decree.
