Chapter 214: I Am King Wu
"The old decay has a false name, and he is afraid of polluting His Highness's ears." Dai Sigong had a kind face, and he was not complacent at all because of what Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Su said. "The big things that need to be done now are still to focus on the people in the city."
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me as an old man."
This is the style of a doctor who purifies all living beings in his mind! Zhu Su nodded secretly, feeling a little more appreciative and expectant for this old Dai Tou.
"Since Mr. Dai also said that Lord Ru can't work harder, then this king will be responsible for the victims in the west of the city." Zhu Su smiled lightly and said to everyone. "Lord Ru will recuperate with peace of mind......"
"What?"
"No!"
The pot suddenly exploded in the room, Wei Guan was shocked, and Ru Taisu was even more shocked and even pushed away the little guy who was supporting him.
"Since there is a risk of infection here, how can Your Highness stay here? If there is a case, how can the minister explain to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? This is Wei Guan's attempt to move with affection.
"Your Highness is still young, how can he take on the responsibility of tens of thousands of people's lives and deaths? This matter is not child's play, I hope Your Highness will be cautious! This is Ru Taisu's face with a dead posture.
Zhu Su twitched the corners of his mouth, he wanted to settle his suspicions with this Ru Taisu, but he didn't want this Ru Taisu to still be prejudiced against him. What is child's play? Could it be that he thinks that he is a bear child who is planning to play tricks on the disaster victims?
Zhu Su, who rarely wanted to make a contribution, felt insulted, and his face became unkind.
He also ignored this Ru Taisu's illness and has not yet recovered, and sneered: "Ru Yushi is very capable and responsible, this city is full of feces and urine, and sewage is flowing sideways, this is how you Ru Yushi is well governed?" ”
"What are you going to do with it? It is nothing more than to maintain the status quo ante, and if there is an epidemic, the victims will abandon it. ”
"But have you ever thought about it, if you don't observe the spread of the epidemic for a while, this Suzhou Tianfu will be reduced to purgatory in an instant! When the time comes, will you write this heavenly guilt with the pen of the Spring and Autumn Period? ”
The implication: If you can't do it, you can rest, beep less. Even if I were, could it be worse than it is now?
Ru Taisu's face turned purple when she was choked by Zhu Su, and she coughed a few more times, but she still stiffened her neck: "If there is a big epidemic, it will also be destiny!" There is nothing the minister can do, at least he can deserve it! Can His Highness manipulate the Mandate of Heaven? ”
"Is the epidemic a destiny? Amusing! You are too vegetarian, do you have to be the useless person who 'usually talks about his heart and mind, and dies with his own name'? ”
These words are really too poisonous, Ru Taisu was about to argue, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, coughed a few times and finally calmed down, Zhu Su has continued to say proudly:
"Things are man-made, and people will win the day!"
"If I really have a way to prevent the epidemic, what should you do?"
The faces of the people present changed, but after a slight change of thought, they only thought that Zhu Su was young and arrogant. Only Yao Guangxiao's eyes flashed, and he quickly retreated. Ru Taisu was stunned for a moment, still stiffening his neck: "Even if His Royal Highness really has this method, just relay it to me and Wei Zhifu!" There is no reason for His Highness to do it personally. ”
Zhu Su smiled disdainfully. Although the two of them are also good officials, they are still old-fashioned Confucian bureaucrats after all, and they inevitably lack courage.
The clues can be seen from the fact that they only want to place the victims in the city for "slow death", but do not dare to take the risk to build a dam to control the water. Even for those water bandits, what they were thinking about was to suggest that Zhu Su Xiushu begged Lao Zhu to "be merciful outside the law", reduce Su Song's taxes, win back the hearts of the people, and "surrender the army without a fight", instead of uprooting the thieves and completely eradicating this hidden danger.
If they are allowed to be in charge and supplemented by themselves, this Ru Taisu treats himself as a child, how many of the policies he said can they implement?
"The king has made up his mind. Lord Ru can recuperate in peace. Zhu Su had the posture of a self-righteous son, and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and the words "for the country and the people" were written on it. Looking at Ru Taisu's momentum, he was stagnant. "Dog, you bring some people, so that you can take care of Ru Yushi and recuperate."
"Ah, I can't say that Ru Yushi is also in danger of contracting the epidemic! In this way, it must be quarantined, and it must not be neglected! Dog, you have to take care of all this place, don't let Ru Yushi walk around. ”
"It doesn't matter what the epidemic is, whether the official is big or small. Until Ru Yushi recovered from his illness, he patrolled the river for disaster relief, and this king worked harder, so he picked it together. ”
When Ru Taisu heard this, he was really angry, and despite the violent thunder of his sick body, he pointed at Zhu Su as if he was in the court that day, and said angrily: "You ...... You ......"
"Family and country affairs, how can you allow a teenage child to play!"
"Do you want to put the old man under house arrest and seize power? The old man will never admit it! The rest of the people will never bow down! ”
"The name is not justified, there is no such precedent in this dynasty! Although you are ordered by His Majesty to inspect Su Song, you have no right to ...... There is no right to deprive the old man of his duties! ”
"You...... You have been ordered by Your Majesty, but you are so reckless, old man...... The old man will mobilize all his colleagues to impeach you and imprison the bureaucrats and seize power for yourself! ”
"Self-specialization?" The more angry Ru Taisu became, the more Zhu Su felt peaceful. He covered his lips with a fan, revealing only a pair of smart and innocent eyes.
"The envoy who inspected Su Song doesn't have this power, and this king has another identity, doesn't he have this power?"
"Another identity...... Ru Taisu was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while. What identity? ”
"Hehe, Lord Ru and even all of you, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten." Zhu Su folded the fan and smiled triumphantly.
He paused word by word, pointed a folding fan to his nose and said:
"I, yes, Wu, Wang!"
"King Wu, the king of Wu Land?"
"As the king of Wu, can he have the power to control the officials in the domain? Do you have the power to meddle in the affairs of the domain? ”
"You say, should the affairs of Wu land be listened to by you, the imperial history of patrolling the river, or should I, the king of Wu, 'self-exclude'?"
Wu ...... King Wu? ”
Ru Taisu was stunned, and Wei Guan, who wanted to persuade peace, was stunned. Even Yao Guangxiao, Luo Guanzhong, and Gou Er behind Zhu Su were slightly stunned.
Yes, although on weekdays, there is a prince at a mouth, and a royal highness at a time.
But everyone didn't notice that the teenager-year-old boy in front of him was named the king of "Wu" by His Majesty today.
The word "Wu" is not just a noun and a title. What he is referring to is that within a certain limited territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is almost supreme power!
Nominally, he Zhu Su is the co-owner of the vassal king of this Su Song, the military and political autocracy!
There used to be two kings of Wu in the world, one was Zhu Yuanzhang of Western Wu and the other was Zhang Shicheng of Eastern Wu. So there is a general consensus among the people of the world that the land of Western Wu in the Ming Dynasty refers to the capital of Emperor Yingtian, and Eastern Wu is naturally the Susong area where Zhang Shicheng once occupied in this area.
Ying Tian is now the location of the imperial capital, so it is naturally impossible to use it as a vassal domain. And Zhu Su was crowned King Wu by Lao Zhu, since it was impossible for the emperor to vacate the capital to build a vassal for the prince. Zhu Su's fief is naturally the land of Susong, the land of Eastern Wu.
Although Zhu Su knew that after a period of time in history, Lao Zhu would change his title to King of Zhou on the grounds that "the land of Wuyue is the heart of the imperial court and is not suitable for building a domain".
Unfortunately, no one else knows about this!
As long as the name of King Wu is still hanging on his head, he is legally the king of a vassal with the second highest decision-making power in this Susong place.
"This ...... This ...... "Ru Taisu was unspeakable, and it took a while before he wanted to hold back a sentence: "His Royal Highness has not yet become a vassal, how can he rely on the name of King Wu."
Before the words came out, he felt that these words were taboo, and before he could think about it clearly, Zhu Su had directly interrupted: "This king has made up his mind, so let's do it!" ”
"Governor Wei, take me to the porridge shed where the soup kitchen is located! Mr. Tai is also invited to accompany him. As for Lord Ru......"
"You take care of it, everything has its own Wu and Wang!"
As he spoke, he winked at Ru Taisu happily, led a large group of staff guards, and left Ru Taisu's courtyard by himself.
"This ...... This ......"
"This kid...... It must be a grudge against the past, deliberately angry with me! ”
Ru Taisu didn't swallow a mouthful of phlegm, looked at Zhu Su's departing back, and coughed tremblingly.
