Qu Neng knows Zhu Gaochu very well, Zhu Gaochu has nothing to dare to do, and the emperor's father dares to kill.

Public opinion, morality and ethics, and the three outlines and five constants are not a matter for Zhu Gaoxu.

In Zhu Gaoxu's heart, as long as all the soldiers and horses in the world support him, it is enough, and when necessary, even civil officials and scholars can give up.

Because Zhu Gaoxu knew that this was how the Manchu Qing Dynasty got the world, as long as he raised the butcher knife, no one would not surrender.

When Zhu Chun heard Zhu Gaoxu say in public that he had stumbled in front of his horse and was infected with a vicious disease, his whole body trembled with fright.

"You-" He pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, wanting to scold, but he didn't know what to scold.

After a few breaths, he looked up at the officials around him.

Including Zheng Kai, everyone lowered their heads one after another.

What are you kidding, King Han just said very clearly, everyone's salary depends on taxes.

And to tell the truth, the King of Shu has so much land and wealth, and everyone will be secretly unhappy.

No matter how well everyone got along with King Shu before, it was very unpleasant.

"Uncle Eleven, you are just lucky, born in the emperor's family, and you already have a wealth that many people can't spend in a few lifetimes." At this time, Zhu Gaoxu said loudly to the surroundings: "And tomorrow, how many people who can't eat enough are waiting for the help of the imperial court?" ”

"Uncle Eleven doesn't do anything, he has hundreds of millions of wealth, and the officials are working hard to maintain the Ming Dynasty, but they only take such a meager salary, is it fair?"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice became louder and more powerful.

Especially the last sentence "Is this fair?" "Many of the officials who called almost responded: 'It's not fair.'"

Even Zheng Kai, the officials of the palace, were in tears when they heard this, and they were excited.

Yes, is that fair? Certainly not fair.

"This king assures everyone that as long as the taxes are higher and higher in the future, everyone's income will only get higher and higher." Zhu Gaochu said to the people: "Everyone takes money and sells their lives to maintain the Ming Dynasty (support me Zhu Gaoxu), this king must give everyone the treatment and respect they deserve." ”

"Plop" Cao Yu knelt down on the spot and cried bitterly: "The Han King is virtuous, the lower official, and is willing to serve the Han King." ”

plopped, all around knelt down, even Zheng Kai also knelt down, and everyone cried in unison: "Han Wang is virtuous." ”

The voice of the palace came and went, and the voice of the Han King shook the heavens and the earth.

There was no martial arts on the scene, and they were all convinced by the King of Han, and even bowed and worshipped.

Zhu Chun was stunned, with an unbelievable look on his face.

Zhu Gaochu cared about Sanchang in vain, had no ethics, and robbed his uncle's wealth, and he had been in Chengdu for many years, and he was friendly with all officials, so he thought that everyone would support him, but he didn't expect that under Zhu Gaoxu's instigation, even Zheng Kai, who was closest to and most confidant, had changed.

Zhu Gaoxu secretly sneered, inciting the masses to fight the masses, this trick was easy for him to come by, and it was very sharp.

Your King of Shu thinks that everyone gets along well with you, and I just provoke them to work against you.

But that's not all.

Zhu Gaoxu found that there were several eunuchs and maids at the scene who did not kneel, and they were all from the Shu Palace.

But the eunuchs were trembling, and they kept their heads down and didn't dare to look around.

"How many eunuchs and palace maids do you have now?" Zhu Gaoxu asked in a good voice.

The crowd did not dare to say anything.

"Gonggong Li, what does the King of Han ask you about?" Zheng Kai said.

The eunuch surnamed Li had a bitter face, and his expression seemed to be about to cry: "The slave maid has two birds with one stone." ”

The palace maid on the side shook her head, it should be no salary, and the palace is for food and accommodation.

"Congratulations to Gonggong Li, next month, you will kill four birds with one stone." Cao Yu killed people and said in his heart.

Gonggong Li's expression didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and the King of Shu's face was full of iron.

"The palace maid should be the same as the eunuch, Cao Bu's political envoy, Zheng Changshi," Zhu Gaoxu said.

"The king, the lower officials are here." The two spoke in unison.

"Statistics of palace maids and eunuchs, according to the length of time they have been in the palace, in addition to the basic salary, for every year they stay in the palace, add one bucket."

"Thank you King Han, King Han is wise." There was a eunuch on the side who couldn't hold back anymore and quickly knelt down.

Then the surrounding eunuchs and maids knelt down one after another, chanting the wisdom of the Han king.

Special mother, Shu King Zhu Chun scolded in his heart, and he was helpless.

The next moment, terrible emotions welled up in his heart.

From now on, is there anyone who can trust the lazy in this great palace?

The next day, the news that the king of Han collected taxes was to raise the wages of everyone also spread throughout Sichuan.

I dare not say 100 percent, but at least more than 95 percent of the civil and military officials strongly supported the Han king.

At this time, for people who own more than 10,000 acres, this matter is quite troublesome.

More than 10,000 acres of Zhu Gaoxu directly collected 60 percent of the tax, which is equivalent to nothing, fortunately, at this time and early Ming Dynasty, there were very few landlords and officials who owned more than 10,000 acres of land.

In addition to the royal family, it is estimated that not many people in the country can own more than 10,000 acres of land, which reduces a lot of resistance for Zhu Gaoxu to collect taxes.

Civil officials need to be co-opted, military generals need to be co-opted even more, and Zhu Gaoxu knows better than anyone else about the right power in the barrel of a gun.

What about the opposition of the clans in the world? As long as the army of millions supports me.

After entering Sichuan, Zhu Gaoxu began to divide the fields and increase salaries for the generals who surrendered from Sichuan.

In addition to the fields, Zhu Gaoxu also raided the shops and houses of some Zhu Di officials and generals in Chengdu and gave them to Qu Neng, and secretly said that he was allowed to expand his new residence according to the standards of the national government.

The word Guogong suddenly made Qu Neng very excited.

He had to admit that King Han's ability to draw flatbread was a hundred times stronger than Zhu Di.

The next morning, Zhu Chun was sitting on his own hall with a blue face sulking, the hall was already empty, and after Zhu Gaoxu left yesterday, the officials of the palace seemed to stay away from him.

At this time in the past, some officials of the Shu Wangfu had already passed by to ask for peace and visits, but no one came today.

Zhu Chun was really angry yesterday, his nephew Zhu Gaoxu didn't respect him as an elder, and even his old father Zhu Yuanzhang, who loved him the most, didn't take it seriously, this unfilial son was worse than the fourth brother Zhu Di.

But after getting angry, Zhu Chun recalled Zheng Kai's statement yesterday, as well as today's empty hall, and knew that the civil and military officials of the two major parts of the Shu Palace's Governor's Shi Division and the Honor and Guard Department had been won over by Zhu Gaoxu.

He used to think that he was very good to these subordinates, he had a good reputation, and officials inside and outside Chengdu respected him very much.

But now it seems that in the face of interests, the so-called friendship and feelings are all fake.

Zhu Gaoxu doubled the amount for them, and everyone hated to kneel in front of Zhu Gaochu and hug his thighs.

The trick of increasing the salary is too powerful, and Zhu Chun has to admit that Zhu Gaoxu's trick is used well.

"The king, the commander of Sichuan is the governor of Qu and asks to see him." At this moment, Zhou Wei, the eunuch of the palace outside, whispered at the door.

Zhou Wei said as he quietly raised his head and looked at Zhu Chun's expression.

He is Zhu Chun's confidant eunuch, and he has followed Zhu Chun since he was eleven years old, when Zhu Chun was only a teenager, and the two formed a deep friendship.

In private, Zhu Chun's treatment of him and his younger brother is rare among the kings of the Ming Dynasty, no, there should be none.

Zhou Wei was not present when Zhu Gaochu was there yesterday, but he must have heard the news that Zhu Gaochu also gave the eunuch a raise.

Zhu Chun's annual private silver to Zhou Wei far exceeds that of the Han King, he is not afraid that Zhou Wei will also oppose him, but Zhu Gaoxu is obviously more popular than him by doing this.

Zhu Chun thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhou Wei, do you think the King of Han can win?" ”

brush, Zhou Wei's face suddenly turned red, he looked at Zhu Chun carefully, and stammered: "Slave maid -—— doesn't understand military affairs——'

Zhu Chun sighed: "My good nephew said that he paid the eunuchs and maidservants of the Han Palace, and then ordered all the vassal kings of the world to follow, presumably you also hope that he wins?" ”

Zhou Wei's face turned even redder, and he quickly shook his head: "The slave and maid will always stand on the king's side, and whoever the king supports, the slave and maid will support." ”

Zhu Chun closed his eyes helplessly: "Please come in." ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who is a special mother, scolded in his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu not only added a new standard for the eunuchs and maids of the prince's mansion, the county prince's mansion and other feudal kings, and also added a lot.

Why do you think this Zhu Gaoxu is so bad?

All this money has to be paid by the princes and princes of the princes and counties themselves, and he Zhu Gaoxu moved his mouth, and the vassal kings of the world gave it or not?

Giving, of course unwilling, if you don't give, the people below will definitely be unhappy.

To be honest, Zhu Gaoxu's trick is more disgusting than giving a salary increase to officials and generals in the world.

Not long after Zhou Wei went out, Qu Neng came in.

Qu Neng and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, have been friends for many years, but on the battlefield, Qu Neng has just sold Zhu Chun's three guards.

When Lao Zhu divided the feudal kings, the number of the three guards of each feudal king was not fixed, the few were only a few thousand, and the many were tens of thousands, like the three guards of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, were about 14,000.

This time, Zhu Chun's soldiers and horses all followed Qu Neng to fight the King of Han, but they were all sold on the battlefield, and then all of them were demoted to Zhu Gaoxu.

So Qu Neng is still a little embarrassed to face the King of Shu alone now.

But in any case, for the sake of King Han's great affairs, he still has to come.

"Sit, Qu Dudu, you and this king have always had a good relationship, each is the master on the battlefield, this king doesn't blame you, this king actually wants to know, Gao Xu killed your son, why do you still want to help Gao Xu?"

Qu Neng smiled bitterly and said the truth: "King Han didn't kill my son. ”

After that, I will repeat the events of that year.

Zhu Chun was stunned when he heard the whole thing.

Zhu Gaoxu was only eighteen or nineteen years old before the Jing disaster, and at a young age, he learned to lay out in advance, captured Qu Neng's son as a hostage, and then did not reveal it in the entire Jing disaster, and it was still hidden after success, just for this Sichuan war.

Zhu Chun's face changed greatly at this time, and his expression was incredible: "According to what Governor Qu said, Gao Xu was -—— before the Jingjing"

Just thinking about being an emperor?

He didn't want to be an emperor to do that? After Jing Nan succeeds, he will hand over Qu Neng's son.

"The king of Han is far-sighted, and Qu Neng is also a last resort, I hope the king will forgive." Qu Neng knelt down at this time and apologized.

Zhu Chun sighed: "Your son and grandson were pinched in Gao Xu's hands, how can this king blame you, get up quickly."
