Chapter 895: King Fu
"Your Highness, those Diao people refuse to pay the rent on time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "In Luoyang City, in the Fu Palace, Zhu Changxun, a big fat man weighing more than 300 catties, was lying in the arms of the concubine and enjoying the song and dance leisurely, but the words of the palace steward suddenly shattered Zhu Changxun's good mood, and he was already very depressed by not being able to inherit the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor and being forced to Luoyang to become a vassal, and now even these Diao people are beginning to look down on themselves?
"It's not a trivial matter that can be done, what's the use of you?" Zhu Changxun angrily reprimanded, since he had completely severed his relationship with the throne, Zhu Changxun could only find a little pleasure from gold and silver, and now he couldn't even make this little request, his mood suddenly became bad, and he felt bored even with singing and dancing.
"Your Royal Highness, Luoyang has been in a drought recently, and most of the fields have not been harvested, and these tenants really can't pay their leases." If it were a normal situation, this steward would definitely be able to handle it well, but now that he has reached this point, he can't come up with any good way, he can't force these people to die, right?
"No matter how lonely you are, if you can't collect the rent, what's the use of raising you alone?" Zhu Changxun said arrogantly, what about the drought in Luoyang? As long as you are a tenant of the palace, you must pay the rent on time, so he waved the steward away, changed to a comfortable position, and lay on the crook of the concubine's lap to continue watching the song and dance.
The steward had to leave the main hall and go outside the palace to think about it, and to think about it in his own house for a long time, but the steward finally chose to act according to the orders of the prince, and he gathered some of his subordinates who were attached to him, and marched to the village where the tenants lived.
As soon as he arrived in the village, the steward led the people and horses to the house of Li Erdonkey, the most prestigious tenant in the village, and waved his hand at the door, and immediately rushed up behind him, stretching out his foot and kicking open the dilapidated door of Li Erdonkey's house, "Li Erdonkey, do you pay or not pay the rent of your family?" ”
"The little one kowtowed to the master." Li Erdonkey immediately took his wife and children to kneel down for the steward, looking around, Li Erdon's home can be called a family with four walls, and everything that can be sold has been sold by him in exchange for life-saving food, and the steward can't help but be disappointed, even if it is strong, it can't squeeze out a little oil and water!
"Steward ......" A dog-legged man behind him whispered a few words in his ear, and the steward's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, although there is nothing valuable at home, but this Li Erdonkey's body is still quite strong, and his farming skills are not bad, if he can sell it to Liuqiu, he can also exchange it for a few points of silver, and although his children look skinny now, their facial features are quite good, and if they are sold to Qinglou or Xianggongtang, it will be considered an income.
The steward is accustomed to being arrogant in Luoyang with the power of King Fu's mansion on weekdays, and he was scolded by King Fu for suffocating his stomach, so he said his purpose without concealing it, Li Erdonkey naturally refused to agree, so the steward ordered to use force, and the two sides immediately clashed.
The steward couldn't help but regret it greatly, not because he was afraid of his life, but because there were a few fewer guys who could sell for a price, and the prince's rent might not be able to be scrapped; He didn't take this matter to heart, and then led the dogs to the next house, leaving Li Erdonkey crying hysterically at home......
If it was before, there would be no way for such a thing to make any waves in Luoyang City, but now it is different, Li Erdonkey and what happened in his village quickly reached the ears of some well-intentioned people, and they immediately took Li Erdonkey and others to a secret place to protect them, and then a secret letter was sent to the capital, and they got a reply soon after, and then Li Erdonkey appeared in front of the yamen of Luoyang Mansion with a paper, and sounded the drum of grievances at the door of the yamen.
"Someone in Luoyang Mansion complained that King Fu was not strict in his laws, committed murder by enslavement, and killed dozens of innocent people. Li You threw a letter on the table, and then Cao Huachun hurriedly picked it up and walked down and handed it to Li Biao, Xu Guangqi and others.
As for the death and injury of more than ten people, it is because there is more than one steward under King Fu, and other people have done similar things more or less, and these are even just the tip of the iceberg of the sins committed by King Fu's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Luoyang has been in drought for a long time, and King Fu's Mansion has done this kind of angry and resentful thing, and it must not be easily forgiven, with Lao Chen's meaning, the stewards of these offenses should be dealt with strictly, and King Fu should also issue an order to reprimand him, and order him to strictly discipline his subordinates, not to commit it again, and order a fine for half a year to appease these people." Li Biao is an upright official, upright in temperament, and dares to speak out, and it is precisely because of this that Li You will allow him to succeed Han Yi as the first assistant, and now when he heard about such a thing, he was immediately furious, and walked out of the court to denounce the guilt of King Fu, and demanded that it be dealt with strictly.
In the past, the Wanli Emperor wanted to set up King Fu as the crown prince, and the ministers fought with the emperor for 15 years around this matter, during which a lot of things happened, forcing the first assistant to retire four people, more than ten ministerial-level officials, involving more than 300 central and local officials, of which more than 100 people were dismissed, dismissed, and assigned.
Many of the older ministers in the court still remembered this incident, and they naturally did not have a good impression of King Fu, and as soon as Li Biao's words fell, many people stood up and echoed his views, and reprimanded them for their audacity and reprimand, and even blamed King Fu a lot.
Now that almost half of the high-ranking officials in the court have changed, and those new officials are also frightened by the two major cases of Jin Shang and Liaojiao before, so although they may have different ideas in their hearts, they dare not show it, at most they remain silent, and few people dare to come out to refute the views of Li Biao and others.
I really have a fate with King Fu, in the Great Wei first supported King Fu, and then seized the throne from his hands, and in the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to set off a storm of rectifying the clan from King Fu.
Li You thought about it for a while, and felt that the time was almost up, so he stopped the words of the ministers and said slowly, "Do I think that this incident did not only happen in the Fu Wangfu, but also the rest of the vassal kings and clans are completely innocent?" Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the cumulative number of clans has exceeded 200,000, and it is time to rectify it. ”
