Next.

The sky was just dawning.

The moonlight has not completely faded.

With the reflection of the moonlight, the door of the Xu Mansion was opened.

Xu Xu walked out tremblingly.

The weather was so cold that his legs were inconvenient, so he shivered unconsciously.

However, he looked in the direction of Miyagi, and his cloudy eyes flashed with extraordinary calmness.

It's time for him to do something for Daming.

After closing the gate of the Xu Mansion, Xu Xu bowed his body and walked to the palace city alone.

It was the time when the hundred officials went to court, and now it was not yet the time of the day, Xu Xu walked alone, and finally walked outside the palace.

He raised his head, looking at the majestic Forbidden City, looking at the power capital of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xu's cloudy eyes were full of pride.

He muttered: "Decades ago, Grandpa Tai took back the Han people from the hands of the Yuan people, and when we were enslaved by the Yuan people, we could only be a fourth-class person and let the Yuan people bully. ”

"In the DPRK and China, we are not allowed to be big officials to curb the development of the Han people."

"It was the great grandfather who led the Red Turban Army to revolt, so that the Yuan people fled from the Central Plains and recovered the great rivers and mountains of China."

"History tells us that we must be strong in order to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, and the territory of the Han people needs to be guarded by the Han people."

Xu Xu's cloudy eyes looked directly at the Forbidden City: "If you want Daming to become the master of this land forever, there is only one way to become more and more powerful." ”

"I've been studying for decades, and it's time to make a contribution to my country."

Xu Xu took a few steps forward.

Under the moonlight, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army found this gray old man, he hurriedly trotted over and asked, "Is it Old Xu?" ”

"Old Xu, are you here so early?"

He thought that Xu Lao had come to the court early.

Xu Xu didn't reply to him, just stood under the palace wall, looking at the palace wall, his cloudy old eyes were surging with tears.

"Da Ming!"

"This is my country, the sun and the moon are bright, and the country will be eternal!"

"It's not okay to give advice, ...... today I will admonish the Ming Dynasty to change the policy of commercial tax! ”

As soon as Xu Xu finished speaking, the old man's body suddenly crashed into the majestic and powerful palace wall!

"Da Ming, Da Ming, ......" Tears welled up in Old Xu's eyes.

The face of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army changed drastically, he never dared to imagine that Xu Xu came today, not to go to the court, but to die!

"Old Xu!" The commander of the Imperial Forest Army roared and rushed over.

In the distance, hundreds of officials came to the court one after another, and on the way they were walking, they suddenly saw a figure in front of them, and a figure slammed into the towering palace wall, and someone shouted: "Old Xu! ”

The faces of the hundred officials changed drastically.

"It's Old Xu!"

"It's Elder Xu."

"Quick, stop him!"

However, it was already too late.

"Bang!"

There was a bang.

This was followed by the sound of blood splattering.

The blood-red robe gradually fell.

The face of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army changed drastically, and he shouted: "Old Xu! ”

This is the patriarch of the two dynasties, who was invited to be an official during the period of the great grandfather, and now the prince is even more courteous to him, and he is even more respected in the court, and he is also the mentor of many officials.

The faces of the hundred officials changed drastically and rushed over.

Someone helped Xu Lao's body up, and countless officials gathered around him.

This big man of the dynasty died like this?

The surroundings suddenly became noisy, some people were shocked and numb, and some people cried silently.

"Elder Xu, Elder Xu!"

"Old Xu, why are you bothering!"

"Old Xu."

"I'm a Ming Dynasty, and I'll lose my loyalty again."

"Teacher, teacher, teacher, why are you bother......"

The howling and crying are endless.

The great Confucians of the Hanlin Academy knelt on the ground one after another and kowtowed to their remains.

The students in the court also knelt down one after another and kowtowed to Xu Lao.

"Xu Lao is loyal and unmatched, send Xu Lao on the road!"

"Teacher, teacher, the student has sent you on your way."

"Your last wish, we will inherit it, and I will die to the Ming Dynasty!"

Even the rest of the colleagues who had nothing to do with Xu Lao, looking at this scene at the moment, also had infinite sadness in their hearts, and bowed deeply to Xu Lao.

This is a respectable bigwig.

He used his life to admonish the Ming Dynasty again, just for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army was already stupid, and the scholar of the Hanlin Academy was killed under the palace wall, what a big thing.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly yelled, "Hurry up! Go to the palace to report to the emperor, Xu Lao has been martyred. ”

"Let's go."

Several Royal Forest soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly rushed to the palace.

This is not a trivial matter, especially if it is Xu Lao's death, this is the first major event of the dynasty.

Outside the palace walls, the sound of howling and crying has always existed, and many officials have already fainted from crying.

When the prince heard the news, he also rushed to the outside of the palace wall like five thunderbolts.

When his fat body rushed out of breath outside the palace gate, he saw a large number of officials kneeling there and crying, and surrounded him tightly.

The prince's heart trembled, and he walked over quickly: "Let me, let me see." ”

Seeing that the prince was coming, the hundred officials hurriedly gave way and bowed to the prince: "Meet the prince." ”

Zhu Gaochi was already in no mood, and when he walked to the front, he saw Xu Lao's corpse hitting his head and bleeding.

That touch of red, the color of blood, was so dazzling.

The prince trembled violently, the fat at the corner of his mouth twitched several times, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

He looked at it for a long time, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked up to the sky and said, "We Daming, we will lose another loyal minister." ”

"How did Xu Lao die?"

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly said: "Old Xu is dead, and he wants to reform the Ming commercial tax. ”

In order to reform the Ming Dynasty commercial tax, for the sake of this dawn, did he hit his head on this majestic palace wall?

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath, he looked at the ministers, and ordered in a deep voice: "The officials of the Ministry of Rites quickly prepare funeral items, bury Xu Lao with the highest rites of the national dynasty, and after the dynasty is dispersed, the officials will all go to worship." ”

For his disobedience to his ancestors, he must not go to worship.

The crown prince paused and ordered: "Although Elder Xu is suspected of rebelling against his ancestors, he has also made great contributions for decades, and when people die, they have become a cloud of the past, and it is impossible not to mourn." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly said: "Okay! ”

The crown prince continued to instruct: "In addition, give Xu Lao Shangzhuguo, the nickname Wenzhong, add the title of Taishi, and reward his family with a thousand tilts of good land and a thousand taels of gold, in order to chase the merits of this life." ”

After speaking, his eyes were confused for a while, and the prince turned to look at Yang Shiqi: "Where is Old Xu from?" ”

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Zhejiang people." ”

The crown prince bowed: "You go and ask Xu Lao's family for me, if they are willing to stay in Yingtianfu, I will let them be officials, if they are unwilling, when the funeral is over, I will send someone to escort them back to their hometown in Zhejiang." ”

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "The prince is benevolent! ”

Hundreds of officials bowed down one after another: "The prince is benevolent." ”

The prince smiled bitterly: "Old Xu is loyal to the country, this is what he deserves." ”

The old man had long wanted to agree, he wanted to raise the business tax to get military salaries, and now he could kill a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

The prince complained somewhat about the old man in his heart, thinking that the old man was too ruthless.

This posthumous glory of the Shangzhu Kingdom, presumably the old man will also agree, so he made his own decisions.

In order to prevent more Confucians from dying for this matter, the prince took a deep breath and ordered: "Old Xu died and told the Ming Dynasty, his opinion should be listened to by the imperial court, and the order should be passed down to change the national policy!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly said: "Yes! ”

But at this moment, the old man walked quickly behind the prince and shouted, "Boss." ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly turned around: "Dad, are you here?" ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, looked at Xu Xu, and then looked at the prince: "I know that you are afraid that more people will die because of this." ”

"I have agreed to the nickname you posthumously gave to Xu Xu, but you should not agree to the reform of commercial taxes, you are still young, and you should not bear the name of this rebellious ancestor."

"Dad has carried this charge." Zhu Di patted the crown prince's shoulder.

The two great Confucians, plus one Xu Xu's life, are almost enough.

Of course, if Xu Xu doesn't die, there will be more people in the Great Confucianism, and Xu Xu is not a kind of preservation.

After that, he instructed the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "Xu Xu died and I had to listen, and in my name, I announced to the world and carried out commercial tax reform." ”

"There is a shortage of scholars in the Hanlin Academy, and Yu Xuekui will take the top, and the business and tax reform will be handed over to the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Household Affairs to co-organize, understand?"
