Chapter 200: The Prince Arrives
I heard that outside the imperial city, Zhu was beating drums and shouting grievances.
Xu Miao arrived in a hurry with some prisoners.
After squeezing into the crowd, Xu Miao saw the scene of Zhu Chen beating the drum.
I was stunned when I saw it.
So handsome, so imposing......
Outside the imperial city, what kind of courage is it to ask for the lives of the people of a city?
Xu Miao took a deep breath, and in his mind, a perfect blueprint was constructed.
It seems that the young man who smashed the drum at the gate of the imperial city is no longer Zhu Chen, but has become himself.
Xu Miao personally struck the big drum, beating more and more rapidly, and then all the people admired him and looked at him infinitely worshipped.
Finally, he said: "It is the duty of my generation of scholars to ask for the people's lives!" ”
This scene, just thinking about it, Xu Miao's whole body was numb.
He trembled with refreshment, his scalp was numb, and his eyes looking at Zhu Chen were a little fiery and a little jealous.
"Why wasn't I the one who smashed the drum?"
"Why does he always have fancy manifestations?"
"Why can't I think of such a good way to pretend to be forced......"
took out a small notebook and wrote down 'The Nineteenth Trick of Zhu's Manifestation Law'.
……
"Knock knock!"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The drums are beating faster and faster.
Hearing that something happened in Hangzhou, I don't know how many officials panicked, so the party system behind Hangzhou Tongzhi should be trembling.
It was at this time that they began to run against each other, trying to clear their name.
Several of the guards of the imperial city also looked panicked on their faces after hearing the rapid drumming.
They wanted to stop Zhu Chen from beating the drum, but it was impossible.
If they stop it, they will become the target of public criticism, and the people will not allow it.
Their hearts beat wildly to the beat of the drums.
That's just at this time.
Suddenly the heavens darkened a lot.
Dark clouds, like splashing ink, quickly filled the sky of Yingtianfu.
The blue sky and the white sun were replaced, and for a time there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
"Click!"
"Click!"
Thunder and lightning, like a monstrous dragon, slashed towards the mortal world.
The sound of explosion thunder sounded, followed by a pouring rain!
The heavy rain smashed on everyone's face, on the people, on the face of the little red dress, but no one wanted to leave the rain, they were all looking ahead, the tall boy who was still beating the drum in the heavy rain!
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
The sound of drums was not drowned out by the downpour.
On the contrary, after the infiltration of rainwater, the drum sound became more and more crisp and louder!
In the sound of the dripping rain, the sound of the drums became a clear stream.
Zhu Chen let the rain drip on his face, let the rain drench his whole body, and didn't care at all.
The guards of the imperial city were out of luck, and hurriedly ordered the people beside him, shouting: "Go, go quickly, go and find the envoy to come over!" ”
If you want to file a complaint, you have to report it through the Department of Communications and then wait for news.
A few soldiers hurriedly ran towards the imperial city to invite someone from the General Administration.
Zhu Chen looked at the scene of several soldiers running away in embarrassment, grinned, and the drums kept beating.
It's just that he was already soaking wet, and he was drenched from head to toe.
That's when it happened.
A white oil-paper umbrella was propped up on his head.
The pouring rain stopped smashing it in his face.
Zhu Chen was slightly stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw a coquettish, beautiful face, wearing light makeup, and smiling at himself.
"You beat the drums, I'll hold the umbrella for you."
The little red dress smiled and said in a soft tone: "I can't block the evil in this world for you, and it's not bad to block the rain for you." ”
She just stood beside Zhu Chen, holding an oil-paper umbrella for Zhu Chen, her tender white wrist was half exposed, and she was the body of the eldest lady, but she stood behind Zhu Chen so firmly.
Zhu Chen's heart trembled slightly.
Turn around and keep drumming!
……
Palace.
After several eunuchs went out of the palace to investigate the situation, they hurried back to the palace to report.
"Report to the prince, it's none other than the head of the Zhu case who is beating the drum outside."
The crown prince, who was sitting high on the temple, was slightly shocked when he heard this: "The first drum of the Zhu case sounded the grievances and sued the emperor." ”
Case leader Zhu, that's not his own son.
What kind of wrongs does he have to sue the royal court?
This kid, don't worry about yourself, I'm busy, and I still have a large number of official documents to be approved.
But since Hongwu, if someone wants to sue the emperor, the emperor must deal with it.
Now that the emperor is not there, the crown prince has to pay attention to it as a prisoner.
What's more, it's his son who sues.
The prince muttered a few words, and then hurriedly said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”
Sitting in a sedan chair, more than a dozen guards carried it, and quickly walked outside the palace, followed by a large number of eunuchs.
Outside, it was pouring rain.
On the prince's palanquin, there is a big umbrella, so the prince did not catch a cold.
About half an hour later, the prince's car arrived at the gate of the imperial city.
From afar, the prince clearly saw a figure, standing in the pouring rain, holding drumsticks with both hands, smashing the drum fiercely.
It was Zhu Chen.
Behind him, there was a girl holding an umbrella for him.
This girl is good, the prince's first reaction is this.
"The prince has arrived!"
"The prince is here."
As the eunuch shouted loudly, all the people were shocked and hurriedly looked towards the imperial city.
"The prince is here, great, the prince is here."
"Now, Hangzhou's affairs are saved."
"The prince is the most benevolent and will definitely deal with it properly."
The people were also excited.
Zhu Chen looked towards the imperial city, and sure enough, a fat prince was sitting in the car, looking at him from a distance.
Zhu Gaochi!
Consistent with the image in history, he is wide and fat, and he is a round person.
Seeing that the prince was coming, Zhu Chen's drumming sound became louder.
"The crown prince, Xiucai Zhu Chen, want to sue the people of Hangzhou City!" Zhu Chen shouted.
With that, Zhu Chen threw away the drumstick in his hand and turned to kneel.
The people also followed Zhu Chen, and Wu Yang knelt down in a large area.
They shouted after Zhu Chen.
"I implore the prince to make decisions for the people of Hangzhou!"
"I implore the prince to be the master of the people of Hangzhou."
"Hangzhou, it's a purgatory on earth."
A large number of people, following Zhu Chen, knelt down in the pouring rain.
The dark clouds of the sky were even darker, and the light was so dim that the prince could barely see the people in front of him.
However, he heard the voices of the people.
I heard Zhu Chen's firm voice.
The crown prince was shocked in his heart, and finally understood what Zhu Chen meant, it turned out that he was not going to sue the royal court, he was suing the royal court on behalf of thousands of people.
This heart is rare.
The father is kind, and the son is also kind, thinking about the people.
Okay, okay, there is a successor to the old Zhu family, not a tyrannical king......
The prince's eyes were a little blurry, and before the eunuch helped him down, Zhu Gaochi quickly got out of the car and walked quickly towards the outside of the imperial city.
The pouring rain smashed on the prince's fat body.
The eunuch hurriedly chased after him: "Prince, hold an umbrella, hold an umbrella ......"
