Chapter 36 The Family Moves Together
The place of Xiaoniuzhuang is okay, basically in the past few years, the past few years, the flood is not big. Although the harvest was poor, Niu Chongtian's family still managed to make ends meet by eating their own grain.
Niu Chongtian thought a lot, he told his wife to save some food, save some to help the people who couldn't eat. No, today he will send some grain to Linxian.
"Is it ready?" Niu Chongtian asked the second child as he sorted out his clothes.
Niu Jianzhi replied, "Dad, the car is ready." ”
"Then let's go! Wife, I may be back later today. Wang Jiashan is gone, I have to go to Lao Luo to have a look. Maybe I'll be back later, don't worry!"
"Be careful on the road, people are starving everywhere. Don't let people rob them of food. If you encounter a robbery, give it to him, and you can save your life and come back. Your father will hand it over to you. Xue Chunyan babbled and instructed......
The six of them set off for Linxian in this carriage full of grain.
In the living room of Lao Luo's house. Luo Kaisheng said happily: "Brother, you have done my son a great favor." He couldn't help the disaster. ”
"Ah! It turns out that the parents here are noble sons! I can tell you, I am not here to deliver food on your behalf, but on the behalf of the victims. ”
"I know, you are such a person, kind, kind, and upright, you are really a good person!"
"Don't praise me, old thing, you forgot how you talked to me for a while. ”
"Haha! At that time, I was so stupid, how could I be so unreasonable!" Niu Jianzhi came and said to Luo Kaisheng. "Uncle Luo, how happy you two are!"
"yes, it's been a long time since I've been so happy. ”
"How's the carriage unloaded?" Niu Chongtian asked his son.
Jianzhi replied, "Dad, the car is unloaded." ”
"Don't you want to slip away, we still have to drink together! Luo Kaisheng stayed in Lao Niu. ”
"No, never, okay?" Niu Chongtian said jokingly.
Since Zhu Wang received his son's letter, he has a bottom in his heart. She advised her daughter-in-law to leave home with her grandchildren and grandchildren!
At first, the daughter-in-law disagreed, but later considered that in order to continue the fireworks of the Zhu family, she agreed, but the mother-in-law insisted on staying. There was really no way, and the daughter-in-law had to run away with the child.
Suddenly, one day, the Zhu Mansion was surrounded by official troops. The people were taken away and the house was sealed.
When the old lady was pushed into the cell, she found that her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were there.
The old lady beeped and cried out, "Let them all go." My son is the son of my mother, and I will die for my son when he breaks the law. Leave the others alone, let them go!" Then the old lady stopped eating. She said that if she didn't let them go, she would starve to death.
The white lady came, and she said: "Old lady, your son is too ruthless, ignoring the comfort of the old lady, daughter-in-law, and children, why do you do anything against the court?"
"No, you are talking nonsense, my son is not guilty, he is a great hero!"
In the morning of the same day, the king sat down and said, "What about the seal?"
Some say that the master died last night. ”
"What? I was fine during the day yesterday, but I died when I said I was dead. The king asked in amazement.
"I heard that he was. ”
"Who, and why?" asked the king.
The minister didn't dare to say. The man said this deliberately.
"If I tell you to say it, you can say it. "The king was angry. The man said loudly: "He was killed by Zhu Zihan because he killed Uncle Guo." ”
"Ah! Zhu Zihan is so bold. The king was shocked.
"I don't even know about such a thing. Damn, damn it?"
"Listen to Xuan: ......" The king was furious and was about to kill.
He knew that what his brother-in-law did was outrageous, and he was very angry. When he saw Zhu Zihan kill him. I don't think it's too much. Because by doing so, he is ruining his own society. But Zhu Zihan killed him too much to save face. He hesitated.
At this time, someone handed over a secret letter. When the king read the letter, his brow furrowed.
He knew that what his brother-in-law did was outrageous, and he was very angry. When he saw Zhu Zihan kill him. I don't think it's too much. Because by doing so, he is ruining his own society. But Zhu Zihan killed him too much to save face. He hesitated.
Especially the last sentence says, "Lord, whether you want a brother-in-law or a country, please decide." The king saw this. It's out of gas.
The king knew that Zhu Zihan had killed Bai Shangxiong, and that was his duty. It is good for me to kill one hundred and make an example. There is no advantage in discarding what is used. I'm going to knock the mountain and the tiger, and I can't let my ministers think that my relatives can be killed at will.
So, the king pretended to be very angry and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think Zhu Zihan should be guilty of?"
The prime minister said: "The old minister of the king thinks that Lord Zhu's merits are greater than his faults. Bai Shangxiong, as a member of the country, should protect the interests of the king. But he was lawless and dominant, and a large amount of corruption and bribery sabotaged disaster relief. It should be beheaded.
Zhu Zihan made great contributions to stabilizing society and disaster relief and saving the people. Deficiencies: Killing the uncle of the king damages the face of the king. The merits and demerits are offset. As for the reward and punishment, it is all up to the king. ”
When the king heard this, he felt that what the prime minister said was reasonable. If you don't deal with it, you're going to break the rules.
He said, "Don't fight." The prime minister's business is not over yet! The prime minister will talk about your responsibility for the failure to promote the construction!"
"No, disaster relief has just picked up. If you remove people, I'm afraid they will be affected. At this time, the two sides quarreled fiercely. The king felt that both sides had a point. However, he didn't want to hear anyone, so he decided that people should use it and punish him.
The king said, "Don't fight any more." The prime minister hasn't said anything about it! The prime minister has told me about the responsibility of your recommendation!"
The prime minister has long known that his responsibility will be difficult to escape. Lord Zhu is using it, and it may not be dangerous for the time being. It's different on your own.
He said, "King, the person I recommend is meritorious, and I will follow the merit, and the person I recommend is guilty of his sin, and I am guilty of accompanying him." I'm done, my lord. But I heard that someone has already arrested other people's mothers, wives, and children and put them in prison, I don't know what to do?
When the king heard it, he knew that the mother had done it. He felt that this was not going to happen, and said, "Is there such a thing? ”
"Prime Minister, you are really a good Prime Minister, it's a pity! You are too old, go back to retire! Thank you for your support to my two generations of kings, thank you. ”
The king said it politely, but in his heart he had another attitude. If it weren't for your age, it wouldn't be so cheap for you.
Everyone knows that the king is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger! The king straightened up and said: "Xuan, Zhu Zihan is bold and reckless, ignoring the majesty of this king, and deserves to be punished with death." Seeing that you have merit first, stay for the time being, and set an example. Chin this!
The prime minister was removed, but he was happy. Because Zhu Zihan came without anything. But Zhu Han's wife died of hunger strike, in exchange for the lives of other family members. There were a lot of people at the funeral of the old lady, and the prime minister was among them.
On this day, the three of them came to the foot of Heifeng Mountain, locked in the mountain and walked out of the mountain gate. Guan Zaishan has heard Zhu Zihan's way of being an official for a long time, especially his fearlessness of power and daring to punish imperial relatives like Bai Shangxiong, which makes him admire.
After the dismissal, Zhu Zihan and Guan Zaishan had a separate talk. Guan Zaishan was moved by Zhu Zihan's sincerity, and he said that he would first dismiss his brothers, and then he would leave the cottage and go to the rivers and lakes alone.
Guan Zaishan said that he had offended too many people, and he couldn't go back home. Zhu Zihan expressed understanding and sympathy for Guan Zaishan's situation and agreed with his ideas and practices. This is the end of the matter of Black Peak Mountain. The social order here has been stabilized ever since. Zhu Zihan and his entourage set off again.
They still took a small boat down the river, and Zhu Zihan watched the unannounced visit while walking. A lot of problems have been found and solved.
On this day, they passed through a place called Pinggang Town. After going ashore, I heard that there had just been a fighting here the day before yesterday, and many people were killed and injured.
This kind of fighting was caused by floods, and even the prefectural government often clashed with each other over the floods. The two sides of the fight have openly said that the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified has become a serious historical problem that has not been resolved.
