"This, Your Highness......" Di Meng suddenly knelt down. Now it is clearly the wax moon, and in an instant he is sweating like pulp.

"I ...... The last general is loyal to His Highness......"

"I didn't say you were unfaithful." Zhu Su frowned slightly. "Whether it is Jinyiwei or not, and whether it is loyal to this king or not, does not conflict."

"Or is it that you Jinyiwei are loyal to him Mao Xiang alone, not to my father?"

"No, no......" Di Meng lowered his head. We will always be loyal to Your Majesty. ”

This sentence has already acquiesced in his identity as a brocade guard.

"That's fine. Being loyal to me is not in conflict with being loyal to my father. Zhu Su said.

Seeing that this usually serious and experienced young general was kneeling on the ground and trembling, he frowned again: "Get up, you know, this king doesn't like the people close to him to bow down at every turn." ”

"This king doesn't know about Jinyiwei...... I don't know how Mao Xiang trained you. ”

"It's just that this king hopes that while you do a good job in the Jinyi Guard, you won't lose the momentum and ambition of a young general."

"Young people should be angry. Because of a question I have, I get to my knees at every turn, and even fear it. ”

"What does it look like?"

"Yes...... Be. Di Meng stood up in embarrassment. I was also a little ashamed in my heart. As soon as Jin Yiwei's identity was revealed, his first reaction was panic, for fear that Zhu Su would remove him from Wu Wangwei's queue.

In fact, Zhu Su had already guessed his identity, and when he entered the city to discuss business with Shen Mansion that day, Di Meng was one of the dozens of guards accompanying him. After that, Zhu Su traveled, and Di Meng, the most outstanding young man on the training ground, was also with him, and he was never absent once.

The partial-born old Zhu can always accurately grasp Zhu Su's trajectory and even the content of the dialogue. If there are no brocade guards among these guards, then there are ghosts.

In fact, this is a tacit matter between father and son. Zhu Su himself didn't care if there was a secret son of Jinyiwei around him, after all, Lao Zhu and Queen Ma usually cared about him, and he could still feel it.

And his actions are not in conflict with Lao Zhu, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about what Jinyiwei will do. Could it be that Lao Zhu could still let Jinyiwei collect evidence and beat me into the Fengyang wall?

It's this fierce attitude...... made Zhu Su feel a little slight. Di Meng was so frightened, didn't Mao Xiang, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, say something to him? For example, ordering him not to reveal his identity or something?

I thought about it and pressed this doubt. Mao Xiang is just an eagle dog in Lao Zhu's hands, how to deal with Lao Zhu has his own ideas, and he doesn't need to think about these. Zhu Su, who wiped his mouth after breakfast, stood up and said to Di Meng, "Why are you still standing here?" Let's do it. ”

"Don't worry, this king doesn't ask for so much. How does the Jinyi guard want you to pass on your whereabouts, you still do. It's just an errand on the king's side, and you have to do your best. ”

"It's all for my Ming Dynasty, why bother with the yamen. As long as you know how to be loyal to your father. ”

"The last general knows." Di Meng hugged his fists. There was a touch of emotion in his eyes, this undersized prince was really broad-minded......

knew that the family general who had been cultivated by one hand was actually someone else's secret son, so he didn't get angry at all, and even said words of encouragement and comfort......

"Let's go, let's go and check if there is any news about the Taihu Lake bandits among the Jinyi Guards."

"Before returning home tonight, this king wants to see the files related to Jinyiwei."

"Yes." Di Meng clenched his fists and stepped out.

Zhu Su summoned the dog guarding outside the door and asked him to set up a car and go to the prefect's yamen. Today, I have made an appointment with the Governor of Wei to inspect the refugee camp in the west of the city.

……

"Your Highness, this is the place where refugees are settled." The carriage stopped, Wei Guan jumped out of Zhu Su's carriage, and said to Zhu Su, who then stepped out of the carriage.

"Hmm...... You can see it at a glance. In fact, he didn't use his eyes, just his nose, and Zhu Su could smell that this must be a place for refugees to be resettled. There is a rundown of sewage, a rancid smell in the air, and the houses and shanties are in tatters.

Zhu Su saw that the people here all had sick faces, ragged and listless. Many officials stood in the streets and alleys, faintly guarding them. Occasionally, someone saw Zhu Su and his party wearing gorgeous clothes, but they only glanced at it blankly, and they didn't care.

"Why are there so many servants here, isn't this like a detention?" Zhu Su asked Wei Guan.

"Alas......" Wei Guan sighed. His Highness said that it was a guard, and he was right. ”

"Whenever refugees enter the city, there are always many troublemakers. In the past, outside Suzhou, cases of refugees also occurred from time to time. Even instigated by the water bandits, some refugees took advantage of the chaos to storm the city gates and ransack the surrounding villages and towns. ”

"Huh." Zhu Su sneered. "Didn't you say that the people of Susong miss Zhang Shicheng more. Those bandits who falsely claimed to be the ghosts of King Cheng's army, this is how they treated the people who had Zhang Shicheng in their hearts? ”

"The ambition of the bandit wolf is just to take advantage of Zhang Shicheng's past favor. Where will you really cherish the people? Wei Guan also looked disdainful. In order to limit the refugees, I consulted with Lord Shiru, who patrolled the river, and settled the refugees in the west of the city. ”

At that time, Zhang Shicheng's army demolished the houses here in order to take the rolling stones and timbers used to defend the city. Therefore, although this place is within the city walls, the original people have all moved to other places. The resettlement of refugees here is also convenient for us to wait for the Suzhou government to take care of the relief. ”

"If you are settled in the city, aren't you afraid that there will be water bandits mixed in and incite the refugees to riot?" Zhu Su asked.

"Lord Ru and I share this concern." Wei Guan said. "Therefore, as His Highness has seen, he has sent officials to maintain law and order here day and night. The second ......"

"Lord Youru has moved here to eat and live with the refugees as a guarantor."

"The refugees are not hard-hearted, and when they see that such a high-profile official as Lord Ru is willing to risk his life, he is naturally self-assured."

"Even if there are one or two unscrupulous people who want to incite civil unrest, with Lord Ru in charge, those people will naturally not be able to make waves."

"Ru Taisu...... Eating and living with refugees here? ”

Zhu Su was a little surprised. In his impression, Ru Taisu has always been the rotten Confucian who chased after him in the Fengtian Temple. It's a nuisance existence.

This guy is so fearless that he is willing to sacrifice his life to appease the hearts of the refugees?

"Not bad. In fact, my Suzhou Mansion is quite wealthy, and it is close to Gyeonggi. There is no shortage of grain, grass, porridge and rice for relief. As long as the people's hearts are not chaotic, they can survive until the beginning of spring and spring ploughing. ”

"What's the use of staying up until spring ploughing. Winter is so rainy and snowy, I am afraid that when the summer flood comes next year, the flood will definitely be menacing......" Zhu Su's face was worried.

Even if the grain is planted in the spring, if the flood floods again and floods the ridges, the houses built with the seeds that have been sown with great difficulty will be lost.

"Alas...... It's really not good, and we have to wait for the spring to be a little warmer, and lead these refugees to build a ......dam," Wei Guan said.

Zhu Su nodded. Only in a peaceful and stable environment can there be no room for the rebels to maneuver their activities, and he still knows this truth. It is certainly imperative to repair embankments and fix water.

"It's just, Governor Wei...... The king has one more concern. Zhu Su said to Wei Guan: "The people can send an official to pacify them, but they can place the victims in the city like this." ”

"In case of a plague...... Isn't that the destruction of a city? ”
