"Ren Hengtai, this old man, is really becoming more and more unruly!" Zhu Gaochi changed his clothes, stood on the city gate tower, looked at the hundred officials in the corridor of the imperial city below, and Ren Hengtai, who shrank into the corner of the wall to bask in the sun and eat cakes and gnaw duck legs, and teased with a smile.

Zhu Shangbing stood aside with his hands in his hands, bored and angry.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji were wearing official robes, their hands drooping, and their eyes looked casually at the court colleagues who were kneeling in front of the palace under the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi, who has slept for most of the day, has extremely bright eyes and is full of energy at the moment.

It's just that the eyes are so deep that you don't know what you're thinking.

"Will they kneel here all the time?" Zhu Shangbing really didn't want to stay on the city wall to blow the wind, so he asked.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "They won't leave at this time, just like Ren Hengtai and them, at least no one will leave here today." ”

Zhu Shangbing's face was a little puzzled, and he tilted his head to look at Zhu Gaochi on the side: "Why?" ”

Originally, Zhu Gaochi was not ready to explain.

can see the look on Zhu Shangbing's face, if he doesn't explain, he will look very stupid, and Zhu Gaochi can only sigh helplessly.

"Because they're now fighting for preferential treatment for themselves and for their families."

Zhu Shangbing sighed: "Preferential treatment for scholars? I went to check it out today, and the Daming Law clearly stipulates that it is only exempt from miscellaneous labor, and it has never been said that it will be exempted from taxes. ”

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi both turned their heads to look at Zhu Shangbing at the same time, with a hint of incredulity in their eyes.

Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and said carefully: "Could it be that I made a mistake?" I'll drive away my dog-headed master when I turn around! ”

】

Zhu Gaochi suddenly cried and laughed, patted Zhu Shangbing's shoulder and said: "You are not wrong, the preferential treatment of this dynasty has always been just an exemption from miscellaneous labor. But things will change when things are done, and the miscellaneous and the positive are often confused. ”

"They're taking advantage of the loophole!"

Zhu Shangbing let out a low cry of shock on his face.

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "I have been studying hard for decades, once I was on the gold list, I was elected as an official in the court, and I served as the yamen of various ministries and departments, and I was in charge of the world. The people often say that officials protect each other, but not only that, these people who share the power of the world will use the power in their hands to protect their own interests.

Households are in charge of the world's income and expenditure, and they really don't know what happens to the local miscellaneous servants and positive endowments? Local government officials, do they really not know the number of acres of land under their rule? How many yeoman farmers are there, and how many tenants are there who join the pledge? ”

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver."

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

Zhu Shangbing was stunned, today's conversations really shocked his past cognition.

He couldn't help but look back at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji who were standing in the dark shadow.

The two of them are also studying hard in the cold window, and the people with the title of the gold list are also officials in the court, and they are also the same as those officials below who kneel quietly in the palace.

Are they the same?

Zhu Shangbing's gaze couldn't help but sharpen.

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Shangbing, his face showed some embarrassment, and he silently bowed down: "The prince can be called Jinyi Wei Che Chachen." ”

Xie Jin said directly: "Why did the prince insult his ministers? ”

Zhu Shangbing coughed lightly: "I didn't say anything, don't slander me!" ”

Zhu Yunxi clapped his palms: "Let's enter the palace, there is nothing to see here now, and let them kneel." ”

Someone spoke up, and Zhu Shangbing immediately turned his head to avoid embarrassment: "Not here?" Leave them alone? ”

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Wait until they can't kneel anymore." ”

Zhu Shangbing scratched his head, not quite understanding what this sentence meant.

Zhu Yunxi had already turned around and walked up to Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji, and said softly: "Qin Shizi is a stunned person, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji immediately bowed: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

By the time the two of them raised their heads, Zhu Yunxi had already walked down the city wall surrounded by guards.

Zhu Shangbing, who was stunned, squeezed in front of Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji: "I'm sorry." But you'd better not be greedy, tell me when you're short of money, and I'll help you find Brother Xi'er for it. ”

After finishing speaking, he also patted Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji on the shoulders very generously, and passed between the two.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other in surprise, and their eyes flickered.

The emperor's grandson is really right, this is a dumbfounded!

and even in the court.

Although the matter was prepared in a hurry, nominally the emperor summoned the people and old people in the city to have fun, and the twenty-four yamen in the palace still tried to facilitate this matter in the shortest possible time.

The stage is set up behind the Donghua Gate, next to the Wenhua Palace.

The person who sings as the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good man.

In the former Song Dynasty, Han Qi, a scholar of the Tongzhong Shumen and a scholar of Jixian Palace, said this sentence as the prime minister, and pushed the civil officials to a new height.

Although behind this sentence, it is because Di Qing, who has no political wisdom, said when he interceded for Jiao Yong, who deducted military salaries: Jiao Yong has military merits and is a good man. And Han Qi said a sentence in the same way, but Han Qi was able to say this sentence without any hindrance, which also showed that his heart was treated differently in civil and military matters.

It was the best time to be promoted in school and become an official in the court.

It was the most glorious moment for the civil service.

Since the Ming Dynasty, Donghuamen has never had such a story happen.

And behind today's Donghua Gate, there is a burst of gongs and drums.

In front of the huge stage, the emperor really enjoyed with the people, wearing coarse linen clothes and holding wine glasses in his hands, and mingled on the tables.

On the stage, the troupe from Suzhou Mansion is not singing the warbler Yanyan in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is the most easy-to-understand vulgar wall, which seems to be full moon, home and people.

When Zhu Yunxi rushed over from the noon gate, he only saw the prince's father sitting in the seat of the clan, surrounded by the restless but not daring to move the second generation of the clan who had not yet taken up the domain.

Twenty-three Zhu Huan, who is now getting older, is hiding in the corner, secretly stuffing all kinds of food into his arms, as if he is preparing to fill his stomach that seems to never be filled at night.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi, who had not returned for several months, suddenly appeared in the palace, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Zeng stood up immediately, but he didn't pay attention, and all kinds of food in his arms fell to the ground in an instant, causing the boss to move.

"Huh?" Zhu Biao, who was watching the play, snorted in his throat and looked sideways at Xiao Twenty-three.

Zhu Huan was excited, trembled, and hurriedly waved his hand at Zhu Yunxi: "It's Brother Xi who is back." ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly fled from his crime scene, rushed to Zhu Yunxi, and grabbed Zhu Yunxi's hand with an oily hand.

Zhu Yunxi was helpless, and when he was walking, he withdrew his hand and grabbed the back collar of Twenty-three, so as to wipe his greasy hand.

"The son asked his father for peace, and when he returned to Beijing today, he did not enter the palace to meet his father immediately, and asked his father for forgiveness."

Zhu Yunxi came to Zhu Biao and made a respectful confession.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing made a nephew ceremony.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji saluted.

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "It's all free of courtesy, the singing in the palace today is all casual." ”

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji saw that the prince seemed to have something to say to the imperial grandson, so they retired and found an empty seat to listen to the play.

Zhu Shangbing didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to make a move, he was already pulling the other party to escape from the sight of the prince's uncle, he really didn't dare to stay in front of Zhu Biao for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless, and looked down at the twenty-third uncle who was sticking to him.

Zhu Biao said, "Twenty-three, today's homework? ”

"Ahh

Zhu Huan exclaimed, spread his legs and ran to the side: "Baoqing must be stinky again!" I'm going to take care of her! ”

While calling, he went to find Princess Baoqing, who had already been sent to rest by the palace people.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to cry without tears: "Uncle Twenty-three is still like this......"

"Doesn't it grow?" Zhu Biao glanced at his son and snorted: "When you are not in Yingtian, he still has a look." Now when I come back, I reveal my true nature as soon as I see it. ”

Zhu Yunxi rubbed his nose.

Before he moved out of the palace and lived in the Taisun Mansion, the twenty-third uncle lived with him in the East Palace, so it can be said that the kid grew up in front of him, but he was not close to him.

Zhu Biao also knows the relationship between Twenty-three and his son, and the young brother is intimate with his son, which is naturally what he is willing to see.

No longer pursuing this matter, Zhu Biao turned his mouth and said, "Just came from the noon gate?" ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded and sat down: "Zhai Shan is a little angry, Ren Hengtai and they all stay in front with him." ”

Zhu Biao snorted: "If they don't stay over there, they won't be able to be people on either side at that time." I heard, today you asked Yutian to imply that these people beat those officials? ”

Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head and denied it: "How could my son dare to do such a thing, wouldn't this be ignoring the majesty of the imperial court?" Thinking about it, it must have been Yutian's private instructions, and his son turned around and punished him severely. ”

Zhu Biao sneered, his eyes were aimed at his serious son, and he just hummed in his throat.

Zhu Yunxi was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and changed the topic: "My son has been reading the history of the Song Dynasty recently, and he has some feelings, and he thinks that my dynasty should take history as a mirror and not return to the past and the future. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Biao's eyebrows twitched, his face was curious, and he asked cooperatively: "What do you think?" ”

"The ancient innovations may have succeeded or failed, and the reasons are endless. It's just that the son thinks that in the final analysis, it all lies in the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people. ”

Zhu Yunxi thought about the wording and said it very slowly.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the prince and father calmly.

"What does the good grandson want to do, just say it, and grandpa will listen to it."

I don't know when, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still among the people, suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi's father and son with a wine glass, ruddy face, and excitement.

Zhu Yunxi immediately got up: "My grandson saw the emperor's grandfather, I didn't enter the palace today to ask for peace, and my grandson is not filial." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "It's all a false courtesy, you just have to talk about things, grandpa listen." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded, glanced at his father, and then slowly spoke, telling his plan to go all the way south back to Beijing.

……

Before the noon gate.

Night came as scheduled.

The officials, who had been kneeling for a day, finally began to be unable to support it and were crumbling.

Bang bang bang.

Some people began to fall to the ground because they could no longer support themselves after kneeling all day, and then they tried to get up again.

When the first person fell, one after another people began to fall to the ground due to physical exhaustion.

Under the palace wall, Ru Yu, who was out of the sun, snorted, and as soon as he snorted, he immediately infected Zhai Shan and Ren Hengtai, and the three of them were teary-eyed.

Then it was dyed to Yu Xin and Wang Jun next door.

Suddenly, the five imperial scholars were all in unison, and they were full of anger.

Ru Yu's eyes were red, staring viciously at the officials of the Jing Kneeling Palace in front of her, and her voice became a little hoarse: "Raise your hands, as long as you agree to a word, I will call the people of the Terracotta Division to come over and take away all these people!" ”

Ren Hengtai immediately raised his hand, he still wanted to go home and eat the meat that his wife had stewed early in the morning.

Zhai Shan's eyes rolled twice, and he nodded to show his attitude.

Of the five people, three agreed.

Yu Xin and Wang Jun glanced at each other, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid that I can't take the frame, the legs are on them, give them away now, and they can come back later." Can you block the first year of junior high school, and can you still block the fifteenth? ”

Wang Jun sighed: "I said, why don't we go to the Holy Saint and ask Your Majesty to judge the Holy Judge." ”

Ru Yu looked at the two of them, snorted coldly, rolled up her robe, leaned against the wall and stopped talking, closed her eyes and recuperated.

Ren Hengtai protested twice with a rumbling stomach, and then lowered his head with a worried face, touched his empty chest and sleeves, and felt that he shouldn't have given the meatloaf and duck leg to Zhai Shan and Ru Yu today.

Zhai Shan spat at the ground in front of him, and swept over Yu Xin and Wang Jun with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

That's right.

Torches suddenly lit up under the noon gate.

More officers and soldiers of the brocade guards, holding torches and embroidered spring knives in their palms, rushed out from under the city gate, surrounding the entire kneeling officials in front of the noon gate.

The sudden change made Zhai Shan and the others stand up suddenly.

It doesn't take a few people to tell.

Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, already had a black face, and appeared under the gaze of Zhai Shan and others accompanied by many officials of the Jinyi Guard's Yamen, such as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the servant, and the envoy of the north and south towns.

Zhai Shan immediately stepped forward: "Jiang ......"

As soon as he spoke, Jiang Xuan had already waved his hand to interrupt: "His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince has arrived." ”

In a word, it is like a boulder on a sea cliff, falling from the already towering cliff wall into the calm water, splashing huge white waves.

The officials who knelt quietly in front of the palace at noon raised their heads one after another.

When they saw the imperial grandson standing in the firelight, their faces were full of surprise and surprise.

Shouldn't the imperial grandson still be on his way back to Beijing?

Every official who saw Zhu Yunxi's face clearly became nervous for no reason.

Zhai Shan and the others suppressed the surprise in their hearts, straightened their robes, waved their arms and knelt on the ground: "The ministers see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson." ”

Zhu Yunxi ignored the kneeling of the imperial scholars, he just calmly watched the Ming officials who knelt almost all the way to the end gate in front of the noon gate.

In the crowd, the sparse officials who had fallen to the ground due to physical exhaustion had no one to support them.

Zhu Yunxi showed a hint of mockery on his face.

"Since you can't kneel anymore, let's go to the edict and rest."
