Chapter 229: Uncle Taisun
Zhu Yuanzhang was in the palace, listening to the report of the spies, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, He Qiu, this kid is bold, and what he said to Zhu Yunwen is the truth, looking at the meaning of this report, Zhu Yunwen may not be able to accept it for a while.
When it was time for dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Yunwen and asked.
"Today, you asked He Qiu about the reform, how did you feel later?"
Zhu Yunwen said cautiously.
"Listening to Mr. He, this reform is really too troublesome, and it is only a palliative solution, and my grandson is a little disappointed."
"If it's just for temporary stability, why make such a big move, it seems that some gains outweigh the losses."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen kindly.
"But what he said is right, there is no cure for the root cause, and as the population of Daming grows, this matter will become more and more difficult to solve."
"Now, with the good seed that He Qiu offered at the beginning, the population of my Ming Dynasty will continue to rise, if you don't take advantage of the present, correct some mistakes, eliminate the contradictions, I'm afraid it will ...... in the future."
Zhu Yunwen was even more puzzled.
"Will these measures alone be able to eliminate the contradictions? Grandchild thinks this is intensifying the conflict? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.
"As long as these reforms can benefit the small people, they can greatly alleviate some of the contradictions, those gentry have escaped so many taxes, and now they have not been allowed to make up for the taxes owed over the years.
It's just that if you spread a little more in the future, you can't stand it, and you want to go back to the past when the people paid eighty percent or more of the tax, and it was really good to think about it! ”
The meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words was murderous, and Zhu Yunwen, who listened to it, was startled, and shrank his head and kept responding.
Seeing Zhu Yunwen behaving like this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, Zhu Yunwen is still younger.
After eating, Zhu Yunwen obediently returned to the East Palace, but suddenly received a letter from his uncle asking for help.
It turned out that when Yingtianfu implemented a whip law, someone reported that the Lu family, as a relative, occupied more land, trying to evade taxes and not worry about the country.
When Zhu Yunwen received such news, he became an ant on a hot pot, this is his uncle, and now the first knife of reform has been cut at him, which makes Zhu Yunwen more and more dissatisfied with the reform.
Zhu Yunwen didn't dare to tell Lu Shi now, for fear that she would be sad, so after thinking about it, she quickly asked someone to call Huang Zicheng.
Huang Zicheng hurriedly came over, and before he could sit down, he saw Zhu Yunwen looking at him eagerly.
"Mr. Huang, I have been reported that my uncle seems to have encroached on a large amount of fertile land, resisted reform in the local area, and violated the law of the country, which is ...... That's a good thing. ”
Huang Zicheng was quite calm, and first comforted.
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. This encroachment on land is also divided into several situations, and if the uncle did not harm anyone's life during the annexation, the minister can help with the situation. ”
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed.
"My grandfather's family has always been thin, and my uncle is an honest man, not a bad person, if there is any misunderstanding during this period, sir, you must help him explain it well."
Although Huang Zicheng didn't look down on Zhu Yunwen's outsiders, he still decided to help Zhu Yunwen because of the face of the crown princess.
"Your Highness, the minister will definitely help, but if you directly ask your majesty to see your majesty about this matter, wouldn't it be better for your majesty to solve it?"
Zhu Yunwen blushed and said hesitantly.
"This ...... I was worried that my grandfather would be disappointed in me when he found out that I wanted to protect my uncle. ”
Huang Zicheng hurriedly comforted.
"Your Highness, you sometimes think too much. I believe that the saint will not punish you for such a trivial matter, not to mention the actions of the Lu family, can you really understand so much?
If the Lu family doesn't have any vices this time, at most they will suffer a little, and if there is really a big crime, even if His Royal Highness helps to intercede, I am afraid the ending will not be very good. ”
Zhu Yunwen was silent, he understood this truth, but he knew too little about the Lu family's actions in the local area on weekdays.
And even if the Lu family doesn't do well, she doesn't want to implicate the Lu family, such a mind is not good to explain to Huang Zicheng, so she has to let him go down temporarily.
Huang Zicheng was a little worried in his heart, he knew at a glance that the Lu family had suffered an unwarranted disaster this time.
This is obviously a person with a heart who specially took the Lu family and forced Taisun to express his position to see if he wanted to support the change.
Of course, the Lu family may not be wronged, and they can always find some omissions. If you look at it according to Huang Zicheng's intentions, the grandson doesn't have to come forward to help the Lu family intercede, no matter how these people use the Lu family's excuse to play, they should bite to death and not let go.
At most, he pleaded with His Majesty and left his grandson's uncle Lu Ping a way to live, but would Taisun do this?
The next day, Huang Zicheng came to find Zhu Yunwen and talked to him.
"The minister temporarily understands the situation of Uncle Xiaguo's family, the problem is not serious, and I also ask the grandson to meet Your Majesty with me to ask for personal favors for Uncle Guo."
Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed and agreed.
"That's fine."
The two went to Zhu Yuanzhang's office together, handed over the sign, and waited for the meeting. Originally, Huang Zicheng thought that this was a matter of being caught, after all, if the grandson asked to see him, no one would stop him.
But he was unexpectedly stopped, and the waiter told Zhu Yunwen that Zhu Yuanzhang was meeting others inside, and he needed to wait outside for a while.
The waiter said this, I am afraid that it means that the people inside are more important than the grandson, and Zhu Yunwen can only wait helplessly outside, with a little anxiety on his face.
Huang Zicheng quietly inquired to the waiter, who is here, the face is bigger than the grandson's, the waiter pointed to the frame on the side, Huang Zicheng noticed that the frame of the East Palace was parked on the side.
Huang Zicheng was very surprised, there was Zhu Yunwen in the East Palace, and only the crown princess Lu could use it, did the Lu family take a step ahead of the grandson to help the Lu family intercede?
Huang Zicheng told Zhu Yunwen about his guess, and Zhu Yunwen was also a little puzzled, his mother Lu has never participated in court politics, and this time, didn't he come because he cared about the Lu family, so he deliberately interceded?
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Lu Shi came out of the hall with tears on his face, and Zhu Yunwen hurriedly took Huang Zicheng to greet him.
"Mother, are you here for your uncle?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little happy in his tone, he felt that if he and the Lu family interceded together, his uncle Lu Ping's life would always be saved.
Hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Lu's pretty face was cold, his brows were upside down, and he said to Zhu Yunwen.
"That brute violated the law of the country, oppressed the people, and brutalized the people, and he is not worthy of being your uncle, and you will not have this uncle in the future! Remember, he's my sinner! ”
When Lu Shi said this, his tone was a little sharp, even a little hideous.
"I have asked my father for a will, and I will immediately give this beast to death, if anyone dares to attack the reform and disobey the holy will in the future, it will all end up like this!"
Zhu Yunwen is stupid, this queen mother is not here to intercede with his uncle, although Lu Ping is not his own uncle, but a cousin, but in the end Lu Ping has passed to the name of his grandfather.
And things didn't get to such a bad point, why did the Lu family directly let his grandfather kill his uncle
