Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Largest Tax Revenue (Final Request)

Zhu Di didn't care about the way of doing business, the prince of a country's clan was openly kidnapped in Yingtian City, almost four days, and there was no news.

If it's a small thing, it's not a big deal.

He separated his two hapless sons and rushed in.

"Seventeenth brother, seventeenth brother, how are you? Don't scare the fourth brother? ”

Zhu Di shook desperately, but Zhu Quan just didn't respond, lying on the bed, almost like dead. Zhu Di was furious, turned his head to stare at the two bastards, "Say, what did you do to King Ning?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice: "No, he's just too tired and wants to sleep for a while." ”

Zhu Gaosui also added, "Yes, father, I heard how loud Uncle Seventeen's snoring was, it's really fine." ”

Zhu Di looked at it carefully for a long time, and it was really nothing, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said viciously to his two sons: "Come with me!" ”

Zhu Di wanted to interrogate the two of them and ask what had happened in the past four days, and Zhu Di was very curious, as soon as King Ning was taken away, someone sent a letter, and then Princess Ning ran to the palace to find Queen Xu to cry.

Then the Jinyi Guards were dispatched, and the guards of King Ning's Mansion also came out...... The big guy is in the capital, digging three feet into the ground to search, but he can't find a big living person.

If you can kidnap the prince today, you can kidnap the emperor tomorrow, what will you do the day after tomorrow, I can't think about it!

Zhu Di was furious, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a bell ringing, melodious, and even the anger that sprung up was reduced by three points.

"What kind of temple is that?" Zhu Di pointed in front of his eyes.

The guards looked at it and replied, "That's Qingshou Temple, and Young Master Yao is here." ”

"Young Master Yao?"

Only then did Zhu Di see a clue, this small courtyard was next to Qingshou Temple, only separated by a wall.

King Ning was lost, and everyone searched all over the world, but they didn't find it.

At this moment, the big guy finally understood that it was hidden under the nose of Young Master Yao.

Among the characters who can't be messed with in the capital, Yao Guangxiao's ranking may not be the first, but it is definitely above Xu Jingchang. The horror of the old monk, that doesn't need to be said.

No one dared to come to Yao Guangxiao to spread wild, and no one would have imagined that King Ning would hide next to Qingshou Temple......

Zhu Di frowned, looked at these two bastard sons, and gradually had eyebrows in his heart.

"Qiu Fu, you go and invite Young Master Yao over."

Qiu Fu was just about to leave, but Zhu Di instructed again: "If there are others, bring them with them." ”

Qiu Fu wondered in his heart, what is someone else?

Could it be that the little monk in the temple is also counted?

He was skeptical, but when he arrived at Qingshou Temple, he immediately understood that in the meditation hall, a young man was playing chess with Yao Guangxiao, and he also complained that the food in Qingshou Temple was not delicious.

Who has such a big hand?

Needless to say, naturally there are nine out of ten gongs, the source of right and wrong in the Ming Dynasty, standing on the cusp of the storm, holding the nightmare of the hundred officials who rotate the sun and the moon - the great political envoy, His Excellency Xu Jingchang.

"Young Master Yao, Xu Tongzheng, Your Majesty is invited!"

The old fox looked at the little fox, "Let's go, don't let Your Majesty wait." ”

When they appeared in the courtyard one after the other, all the truth was revealed, and there was no need to say more.

Zhu Dixin said that even if the two bastards were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to kidnap Zhu Quan casually.

And even if it is kidnapped, it can't be done seamlessly.

But with these two, it's hard to say.

"Young Master, the seventeenth brother was tortured by them miserably, he was in a coma, and he couldn't wake up."

Zhu Di spoke reproachfully, Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang, and sighed meaningfully, "Your Majesty, let's wait for King Ning to wake up and then confront him face to face." ”

In this way, after a while, Ning Wang Zhu Quan was finally woken up, but he was unkempt, looked haggard, his eyes were still red, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

just saw Zhu Di, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly rushed over.

"Fourth brother, Your Majesty! Help me! ”

Zhu Quan cried loudly, and his stomach was full of grievances and bitterness, all poured out, gushing endlessly, and hatred lingered...... "Fourth brother, the younger brother is honest, staying in Yingtian, drinking tea, chatting, they broke in, and they took me hostage." This is the second time that the younger brother has encountered this kind of thing in his life, fourth brother, the little brother is bitter! ”

Zhu Di's face darkened, because he was the first person to do this.

At the beginning, he hijacked Zhu Quan and abducted Duoyan Sanwei, so that he succeeded in Jingnan.

It's good now, I scored two goals, concocted it in the same way, and let the two sons learn it.

"Seventeenth brother doesn't need to cry, I will call the shots for you and be angry for you."

When Zhu Quan heard this, he cried even louder, "Fourth brother, the younger brother is willing to follow the fourth brother." The fourth brother took away the younger brother's soldiers and horses, the younger brother was ecstatic, the fourth brother did not agree with the younger brother to return to Daning, the younger brother had no complaints, the fourth brother did not let the younger brother change a fief, and the younger brother was also willing to serve the elder brother...... All in all, the elder brother is like a father, and the younger brother can do whatever he wants. But how can the monarch treat his brother like this? The younger brother asked them to be arrested and locked in this courtyard for three or four days, and I was not allowed to sleep, over and over again, and the younger brother was in pain, and he hated to die immediately! ”

Although Zhu Quan obeys his brother in every word, he complains in every word...... And poke straight at the sore spot, without his soldiers and horses, there would be no today's Yongle Emperor.

However, Zhu Di did not allow people to return to the Daning fiefdom, nor did he change places. As for the equal division of the world that was promised at the beginning, it is not to mention.

Now it's okay, even the two nephews dare to kidnap and torture him.

Zhu Quan is full of grievances, even if I fight to the death, I want to seek justice.

"Huang Kao, you left too early, the child was wronged and bullied, and there is no place to go. I'm going to Xiaoling, going to cry! ”

Zhu Di was furious, and he couldn't hold back any longer, "You two come over to me!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had to take two steps forward, and Zhu Di shouted angrily: "Kneel!" ”

The two boys knelt down obediently.

Zhu Di shouted: "I and your seventeenth uncle are the most intimate, just like one person. You don't respect Uncle Seventeen, you just don't put me in your eyes! Damn, hateful! ”

"I ask you, why did you kidnap Uncle Seventeen, you must make it clear to me, otherwise I would rather kill the two of you than vent my anger on Uncle Seventeen!"

Zhu Gaoxu was still calm, but Zhu Gaosui was really scared.

He said aggrievedly: "Father, it's really not about the child, I just found out that Uncle Seventeen was pretending to be the second brother in private and was issuing Han Wang loans." He opened five shops, and his uncle impersonated his nephew, which is a strange story. I just had the courage to tell my second brother. ”

Zhu Di frowned deeply, it was too much to be his uncle's fake nephew.

"Zhu Gaoxu, what do you say?"

Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "Back to my father's words, this matter is true. The child also respects Uncle Seventeen, and he doesn't want to do anything to him, let alone go to the Criminal Department to fight a lawsuit, so he invited him over, let's have a good chat, and explain the matter. Who knew that it dragged on for three or four days at once, making the father anxious, and the child was guilty. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little speechless...... "Seventeenth brother, as they said, how many shops have you opened and are also lending?" ”

Zhu Quan wanted to deny it, but Zhu Gaoxu had a confession, written in black and white, and he couldn't afford not to admit it.

"Your Majesty, my brother did do some business, but my brother lives in the capital, and the expenses are too great, so I can't sit on the empty side, so I did a small business to fill the family. Even if there are some inappropriate things, you can say it, but it doesn't have to be so excessive, it's just too deceitful. is also a descendant of the Heavenly Family, the Daming Clan, and he can't even tolerate a little money matter, and the younger brother really can't figure it out. Please also ask Your Majesty to call the shots for your courtiers! ”

Zhu Di sighed deeply, this matter is really not easy to do, the two bastards are too much, but Zhu Quan is not authentic...... "Young Master Yao, Xu Jingchang, both of you are here, give a review." ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly, "The old minister doesn't know, let's let Xu Tongzheng come." ”

Xu Jingchang was helpless, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, the minister chatted with Young Master Yao, and I heard him talk about it, when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu, what is the biggest in the world, Zhao Pu did not immediately answer that the Son of Heaven is the biggest, but said to go back and think about it, and later Zhao Pu told Zhao Kuangyin that it was the biggest truth." ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "It is worthy of being able to say half of the treatises to rule the world, this is very good, even the Son of Heaven has to be reasonable." But now they all have their own reasons, which one is bigger, do you know? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, the so-called clean officials are difficult to judge family affairs, and the ministers have no ability to say who is more right...... But the minister felt that there was something bigger than the truth in this world. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di was taken aback, and suddenly smiled: "Xu Jingchang, your words are even louder, you want to overturn Zhao Pu's judgment!" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just thinks that setting up a pot can cook meat and rice, but it can't be cooked." So the biggest thing in the world is not reason, but finance! It's hard to move an inch without money! ”

Zhu Di's face changed again and again, and he looked at Yao Guangxiao again, "Young Master, what do you say?" ”

Yao Guangxiao sighed, "Buddhism also needs incense offerings, which shows that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are inseparable from the word silver." ”

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I understand, thousands of things, all kinds of things, boil down to one word: money!" ”

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Zhu Quan, his eyes flashed with coldness, and Zhu Quan couldn't help but shudder.

"Your Majesty, Jianwen has brutalized the clan, the world is in chaos, the imperial brother has said, treat the clan well!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "I said this, but you heard it, in this Ming Dynasty, I am not the biggest, finance and taxation are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, you pretend to be the name of the King of Han, lend money privately, and do not report to the household department, corrupt the money law, and evade taxes...... I want to protect you, but I can't do it. But don't worry, this kind of crime, as long as you pay a fine, is enough, and it won't cost you your life. ”

Ning Wang Zhu Quan burst into tears, he had no money, and it was almost like asking for his life.

Suddenly, he realized something, "Your Majesty, the younger brother is willing to pay the fine, can you do the same as the virtuous nephew of the Han King, and also publicize it to the younger brother, and let the younger brother lend money in the future, and the younger brother will guarantee to do a better job than the King of Han, please allow Your Majesty's permission!" ”

Good guy, this thing still wants to be the second Han King, I have to say, the heart is still really big.

Zhu Gaoxu's face also changed, okay, even if you take my name, how dare you rob my business?

Zhu Di also hesitated, can it work?

At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled indifferently, "Your Majesty, some things, if they happen once, they can warn the world, and if they happen twice, they will be laughing and generous." ”

Zhu Gaosui even stood up, "Father, the second brother of the son's mansion newspaper has already done his best, if you still want to repeat it." I am afraid that even the second brother will be implicated and shake the confidence of the people. ”

Zhu Di's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Pass the decree and send King Ning to the Criminal Department!" ”

The guards dragged King Ning down, and Zhu Di added: "Send an edict to the hundred officials, tell them what I mean, all yamen must take action, strictly investigate tax evasion, and show no mercy." ”
