Chapter 20 Visits by the Governors of the Prefectures
Following.
At noon, shouts came from outside Zhu Zimen.
Zhu Zi opened his eyes in a daze, sat up, and after waking up, his shouting became clearer.
I thought for a long time last night about how to solve the problem of food, so I slept relatively late, and with five peasants here, I didn't need him to get up early to work in the fields, so he didn't get up so early as before.
"What's wrong?"
When I opened the door, I saw Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao, both outside the door, with anxious expressions.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for disturbing your rest."
"But if there is really an emergency, my subordinates dare to call you in front of your door."
When Wang Zhi saw Zhu Zi open the door, he couldn't wait to say.
When he got up in the morning, he didn't see Zhu Zi, and thought that Zhu Zi had gone to the field again, and only after asking his subordinates did he know that Zhu Zi had not gotten up yet.
If you don't get up, you don't get up, after all, it's King Qiong, and there is no problem with resting more, but it just so happens that King Qiong slept a little more today, and something happened.
"Urgent? What's up? ”
Zhu Zi frowned, revealing a puzzled expression.
Is there anything more urgent than yesterday's food matter?
"The prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture is here! I have been waiting for a few hours in the living room, and when I saw that you had not come for a long time, my subordinates dared to come here to call you. ”
"Early in the morning, there were several big ships that came to Qiongzhou, and the prefect of Guangzhou came down from above, accompanied by the prefects of various prefectures under Guangzhou, all waiting for you in the living room."
Wang Zhi was also unambiguous and said it directly.
There are more than ten prefects in total, as well as the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, when he got off the ship to know his identity, not to mention how nervous he was, you know, Qiongzhou is also under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, that is his previous boss, but because of Zhu Zi's arrival, Guangzhou Mansion is not qualified to govern Qiongzhou.
When entertaining more than a dozen prefects in the living room, especially after waiting for an hour or two hours, Zhu Zi had not yet come, their hearts were raised, and they didn't dare to call Zhu Zi directly.
"What? So many people came? Why didn't you call me earlier. ”
"Well, you go and get ready, and say I'll come right away."
Zhu Zileng paused, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
I really wanted something, what to come, I was just about to go to these prefects, but I didn't expect these prefects to come to the door by myself, and he was going to run a trip.
If he remembers correctly, in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the law of the north-south change of people just released this year, the personnel in various places have changed, and the people are not familiar with the place, and Qiongzhou is under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture, and Qiongzhou has come to him again, such a king of Qiong, naturally he wants to come to see him.
It's just that he didn't expect it to come so quickly, much faster than he imagined, and just in time, when he needed it, came.
"Yes!"
When Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao heard this, they were relieved to retreat and left here.
"Someone! Bring the clothes. ”
After Zhu Zi turned his head, he looked at the subordinate at the door and commanded.
What these prefects are doing, he can't be clearer, he just wants to test him, so that he can make a choice, although he is the king of Qiong, but what is Qiongzhou, everyone knows, if his momentum is weak, he will really be underestimated.
Soon, Zhu Zi, who had cleaned up, walked out of the room, dressed in a leather suit, which was given to him by Zhu Yuanzhang, representing the status of the vassal king.
.......
Meeting room.
At a glance, there were twenty or thirty people, in the living room, very noisy, completely forgetting what kind of place it was.
In fact, the situation was very good at the beginning, only more than a dozen prefects came in, but waited, waited, waited for a long time, and didn't wait, and there began to be a prefect, let the next person come in, with the first one, there will be many people, slowly, it will be chaotic.
"Everyone, be quiet! His Royal Highness King Joan is here soon! ”
Wang Zhi shouted, and his voice overshadowed everyone.
In an instant, all the voices stopped abruptly, and he looked at Wang Zhi.
After hearing that His Royal Highness King Qiong was coming soon, many people quieted down, sat in their seats, waited quietly, and did not continue to say anything.
"It's coming right away, how many words are coming right away? Why haven't you come yet? ”
"The shelf is really big, they have all come to the ghost place of Qiongzhou, and with such a big shelf, I really think it is still the prince of the year."
"Let him come quickly, if he doesn't come, we will leave, wasting time."
An obese man sitting in the front seat scolded unceremoniously, without any jealousy of King Qiong.
This man, who was also the one who took the lead in the first place, let his subordinates in, and there were six subordinates around him to serve him.
"You stop, even if King Qiong comes to Qiongzhou, he is also a vassal king, if you provoke it, you won't be able to eat and leave."
Another prefect also persuaded him.
Even if you go to the place of Qiongzhou, in any case, it is also a prince and a vassal king, and it is definitely not something that these small prefects can afford to provoke.
"You're not afraid of me, what, do you really think that Your Majesty threw King Qiong to the ghost place of Qiongzhou, and he won't be able to manage it, and he will be left to fend for himself a long time ago."
"If we can come, we will give him face, and if we don't give him face, he is nothing."
The obese man still looked arrogant, without any restraint.
"Shut up, put your mouth respectful, anger King Qiong, I can't protect you!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man sitting at the front scolded angrily.
After hearing what the middle-aged man said in front of him, everyone quieted down, and the fat man was also honest and didn't continue to say anything.
Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao, who were standing in front, had extremely bad faces, and they couldn't say anything at all.
"King Joan has arrived!"
At this moment, a shout came from outside, and suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at the door.
Soon, Zhu Zi walked in from outside the door.
"I've seen King Joan!"
The middle-aged man at the front took the lead in standing up and saluting Zhu Zi, and the people around him also stood up and saluted Zhu Zi.
But the fat man, however, was very reluctant, stood up with a twist, bowed, and sat down.
Zhu Zi didn't speak, walked straight to the main seat, and looked at the people below.
"Will you sit down?"
"When did Guangzhou Mansion have so many prefects?"
Zhu Zi glanced around, and his tone was extremely serious.
He was right, this time the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture and the subordinate prefect came to Qiongzhou, which was definitely not that simple.
