Chapter 36: The Wakos
The next day, Ying Tianfu, Daming Palace.
Here, a very dramatic scene was staged.
The old man was in the study, and scolded the civil officials led by the prince.
The civil officials' legs were trembling, and the prince lowered his head, and beads of sweat the size of beans were rising on his forehead.
"You kid is so bold, you group of civilian officials are really capable, you actually moved the military expenses for my expansion of the Shenji Battalion and the military rations of the guard, if Ji Gang hadn't told me, how long would you want to hide it from me?" Zhu Di was roaring.
Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Rong, all trembled.
The prince was the most frightened, so he sent the old man to kneel.
When he said it, the prince had a righteous face and no fear, and now the old man blames him, and he is the first to be soft.
"How can I fight a war without military spending? Where can peace come without war? In my life, I want to finish all the battles that future generations will fight, so you don't have to fight, isn't it good to leave a prosperous world for you? Zhu Di drank coldly.
"Waste, speak." Seeing that the prince didn't speak, Zhu Di kicked over.
The prince was kicked down, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "Dad, this is not in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't dare to touch your things." ”
"The people of Zhejiang will always be saved, right?" Zhu Gaochi whispered.
"I said I wouldn't save it? The people are all fate, can I not save them? Zhu Di shouted.
The prince muttered: "Dad, since you said to save it, where does the money come from?" Zheng He went to the West to ask for money, and Xiu Yongle asked for money, and the treasury was so empty that it ran mice......"
"Dad, do you think that's right?"
As soon as these words came out, he was stunned and ignored the angry Zhu Di.
The old man held back for a long time, unable to speak, he could only roll up his sleeves, and said with some grievances: "Then you can't touch my things, what will you use to deal with the Tartars in the war next year......"
The prince and the civil officials glanced at each other, and they were all happy in their hearts, knowing that the old man was destined to suffer a loss in this matter, and this matter was finally over.
It happened that at this time, the eunuch outside came with news.
"Happy event, great happy event, emperor, prince, good thing, good thing!"
"The prefect of Hangzhou played a game, thanked the court for the people, according to the map law of the court, the water really receded!"
Before the eunuch came running, this sharp sound was festive to hear.
The prince smiled and hurriedly got up: "Dad, I'll open the door." ”
The door of Shang's study room was opened, and several eunuchs knelt on the ground to report the good news, and the prince was so happy that even Zhu Di couldn't help laughing when he heard that Hang Zhou was fine.
He pointed at Zhu Gaochi: "You stinky boy, spare you this time today, and if you dare next time, I will split you." ”
Zhu Gao was happy: "Okay, the emperor, the ministers know." ”
Zhu Di left, leaving behind a group of ministers, happily looking at the report from the prefect of Hangzhou, the tide was handled in a timely manner, and there were not many dead and injured people.
This was the largest wave in Hangzhou, but the number of casualties fell to the lowest level ever.
Zhu Gaochi did not relax his vigilance, and continued to instruct the civil officials: "You must do the logistics in place, the people are fortunate not to be drowned, then the court must not let them starve to death, if there is a problem, I will take it, you let go of it." ”
This big fat man showed absolute kindness at this time.
This incident, recorded in the annals of history, is a major event that happened in the eleventh year of Yongle.
……
At the same time, Hangzhou has just had a big tide.
Hangzhou, since ancient times, has been the residence of the gods, the land of fish and rice, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
At this time, many of the beautiful scenery here has been destroyed, and all that remains is the dilapidated after the tide.
Still, the people were glad that the tide that had plagued them for so long had finally retreated along the established course.
The tide recedes, and the people rejoice.
Immediately afterwards, the prefect of Hangzhou issued a notice that the food and subsidies from the imperial court had arrived.
This year's harvest is definitely gone, but the subsidy from the imperial court was issued in such a timely manner?
The people who received food and subsidies were all grateful and full of excitement for the center of the imperial court.
The prefect of Hangzhou stood at the gate of the county government and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this is the grain that the prince transported under pressure, and we, the sons and daughters of Hangzhou, should be grateful to the prince." ”
"Here, there is a letter of thanks to the people, and there are willing people to sign it, and the illiterate fingerprints are pressed, and I will hand over this letter of thanks to the people, thank the court, and thank the prince."
As soon as these words came out, the people who received the grain almost burst into tears.
I have heard that the prince is benevolent, and now the tide of Hangzhou has only happened for less than a month, and the disaster relief has been delivered so quickly, it turns out that the prince himself is in charge of this matter.
The rocket rescue of the imperial court is the crown prince.
For a while, I don't know how many people knelt on the ground, howling and crying, thanking the prince for his kindness.
"The prince is a thousand autumns, long live the Ming Dynasty."
"The prince is a thousand autumns, long live the Ming Dynasty."
The people shouted, one by one with gratitude to the prince, they wrote their own big characters on it, and if there were names they didn't know, they were ghostwritten by Mr., and then bit their fingers to express their hearts with blood marks.
In the whole of Hangzhou, everyone is in tears for the prince.
In just two days, the names of 10,000 people were on this letter of thanks, and the prefect of Hangzhou handed it to the center.
It can be seen that how high the prince's voice is, and his benevolence is not only spread here.
……
Ying Tianfu, Zhu Chen's small courtyard.
Zhu Di came, and when he came, he was carrying a pot of wine.
"This is the best elixir and jade brew in the palace, if you don't get drunk after drinking, you kid taste it." Zhu Di walked in with a smile, and the wine in his hand was placed on the table.
Zhu Chen was surprised: "In the palace? I don't dare drink it. ”
Maybe this is the wine that the emperor gave to the old man, how could Zhu Chen drink it.
"Why don't you dare to drink it? This is the emperor's reward, your map has helped the emperor a lot, the great tide was dealt with in a timely manner, and it did not cause heavy casualties among the people, this is your credit. Zhu Di said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Chen was overjoyed: "It's good that the people of Hangzhou are not killed or injured." ”
Zhu Di bowed his head: "Yes, so you have made meritorious contributions to Hangzhou, and we will drink this pot of wine together." ”
Where would Zhu Chen squirm, and immediately smiled: "Okay!" ”
The two of them immediately opened the pot of wine, and the thick aroma of the wine came to their nostrils, this is the best spirit, and the old man likes to drink it the most.
Zhu Chen poured a bowl for Zhu Di first, and then filled it for himself, the two of them took a sip, and Zhu Chen's eyes lit up: "Good wine!" ”
Zhu Di laughed and pointed at Zhu Chen: "You kid, you know how to drink!" ”
Zhu Chen hurriedly made two more side dishes, and the two of them drank like this.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Di half-leaned back in his chair and sighed: "Recently, there has been movement in the imperial court again." ”
"What's going on?" Zhu Chen was puzzled.
Zhu Di said lightly: "The Japanese have come to make trouble, and those thieves on the sea have not only robbed Annan, but also come to rob the people of our Ming Dynasty." ”
"The political envoys of Fujian and Shandong provinces sent a report, as far north as Shandong, and as far south as Fujian, many villages and towns along the coast were burned, killed and looted by the Japanese bandits, and this situation lasted for several years!"
Woko?
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were only little devils who could be called Japanese cowards, only little devils who wantonly slaughtered the countrymen!
Zhu Chen's eyes froze: "Old man, what is the reaction of the court?" ”
