Chapter 25 The Complaints of the Huaixi Lords
The couple is competing.
At this time, the crown prince Zhu Biao returned.
"The Boss is back?"
Seeing Zhu Biao walking in, Queen Ma hurriedly greeted Zhu Biao:
"Boss, haven't you eaten yet? Just get something to eat at my mother's place. ”
"You are the crown prince now, why don't you take care of your body at all, you see that it is past lunchtime."
"What's going on in the court? Get it now! ”
Queen Ma complained while serving Zhu Biao a bowl of porridge and served it to Zhu Biao.
"Mother, it's nothing, it's just some small things in the court, and they have been dealt with."
Zhu Biao took the porridge and sat on the table to eat.
Before Zhu Biao could take two sips of porridge, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled the chair closer and asked:
"What's going on?"
"Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and those Huaixi nobles, there is nothing unconvinced, right?"
Zhu Biao swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and then replied:
"Accept, how dare you disagree! The father was so angry, and they were all 'happy and convinced'. ”
"Hey, you stinky boy, do you blame me for picking your son and leaving, and let you clean up the rest, and feel angry?"
"Erchen don't dare..."
"Boss, can't you see? We did it on purpose. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled the chair closer and said solemnly:
"You are the crown prince, the prince, the future emperor, you remember to be kind and powerful to your courtiers, and you can't blindly give a good look."
"Let's scold these nobles harshly, called Wei; After I am gone, you appease them, and this is called grace. ”
"As soon as our father and son sing this double reed, these people will remember your good father."
Hear the words.
Zhu Biao put down the bowl, stood up and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The retainers have been taught."
"Now I understand, I gave you Lao Tzu a face just now!"
"By the way, Hu Weiyong..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to ask, but was interrupted by Queen Ma.
"Okay, do you want the boss to eat? You don't look at the hour anymore. ”
"Put down the picks yourself, your stomach is full, and our son is still hungry!"
As he spoke, he took a piece of meat and put it in Zhu Biao's bowl.
"Don't listen to your father's nagging, you eat your food."
Zhu Yuanzhang had an embarrassment on his face and moved his chair away a little.
"Yes, yes, you hurry up and eat, and when you finish eating, let's go to the Imperial Prison again."
"Look what that kid is talking about today."
Zhu Yuanzhang was already impatient.
……
At noon, the sun is hot.
In front of the Korean Mansion on South Street, sedan chairs are parked.
The spacious living room of the Guogong Mansion is full of Huaixi nobles.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Feng Sheng, Tang Shengzong, Zhou Dexing, Lu Ju, etc., sat around with ugly faces.
After these people went down to the court, they gathered directly at the mansion of Li Shanchang, the Korean prince.
Today in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang lost his temper.
put Yongjiahou, Zhu Liangzu and others into prison.
Then he threw up his sleeves and left, and the crown prince Zhu Biao, in accordance with the emperor's will, arranged the policy of paying grain to the officials and gentry in the court with hundreds of officials.
The ministers are not stupid, everyone can see it.
The father and son are singing double reeds, one singing white face and the other red face.
But what is the way, his pigtails are held in his hands.
These nobles had nowhere to vent in the court, and came to the Korean government with a stomach full of anger.
"This is unloading the mill and killing the donkey!"
"What's wrong with our brothers buying some land? We helped fight this whole world, and he didn't do this to our brothers back then. ”
"Not only must the fields be handed over to the public, but also the rewarded fields must be taxed, which is one thought to be one and the other, how can people be convinced."
"The purchase of these fields costs us a lot of silver, do we still need people to live?"
Zhou Dexing slapped the table and was the first to stand up and complain.
"Be quiet, now the sound is loud, why didn't you make a sound in the court just now?"
"You are only a few thousand acres, our more than 10,000 acres, and more than 30,000 acres of Guogong, and you haven't spoken yet!"
"If you have the ability, don't slap the table here, go to the Forbidden City and shout, we will admire you!"
Tang Shengzong, who was sitting next to him, fiddled around, and Zhou Dexing was really angry:
"Who the fuck are you talking about?"
"In the court, we see that we have been herding cattle with the upper position since childhood, and we don't want to block him!"
"Who said that Lao Tzu didn't dare to go to the Forbidden City to shout!"
"He Zhu Chongba wears open crotch pants, so he plays with us in the mud!"
"Don't we believe he's going to do anything to us? Don't provoke me, kid! ”
Tang Shengzong continued to add fuel to the fire:
"Then you're going to the Forbidden City, what kind of tantrum are you sitting here?"
"We know that you and the emperor are old brothers, which of our buddies is not a brother who was born and died with the emperor?"
"Are you the emperor or the one who fought the world together before?"
"You!"
Zhou Dexing was blushed by Tang Shengzong's face and thick neck.
"Enough! It's all old brothers, what are you fighting in the nest? ”
Seeing that the two of them were facing each other, Li Shanchang, who was sitting at the top, slammed the tea cup on the table and scolded:
"What do you want to do? Are you here to discuss countermeasures? It's not for you to duel! ”
"You all sit down for me!"
"What's the use of complaining? What's the use of arguing? We need to stabilize our position and come up with countermeasures! ”
"Noisy, noisy, go out and quarrel with me, don't make trouble in my house!"
"Also, if there is anything in the future, don't discuss it with me, an old man, you can do it yourself."
"Let's go, let's all disperse!"
Li Shanchang stood up and gave the order to evict the guests.
Suddenly, the noise in the room ceased, and there was silence.
Zhou Dexing and Tang Shengzong looked at each other, sat down obediently in their seats, and kept silent.
Li Shanchang is the true leader of Huaixi Xungui.
Although he is idle at home, his influence is still great among the nobles.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Shanchang said:
"I know that everyone has lost a lot this time, but Yongjiahou is still locked up in the prison, are you going to do it?"
"The old man understands everyone's feelings, and he helps others fight the world with his head, and now the world is peaceful, and everyone is old, and they all want to live happily for a few years."
"Now that the chickens are flying and the eggs are beating, the old man knows that you are aggrieved, why not the old man?"
"But don't worry, everything has not yet been decided, and things are still turning around."
"Although the policy has been set, it will take time for the policy to be implemented, and this matter involves tens of thousands of officials under our congress tomorrow, and it cannot be implemented in a day or two, in a month or two."
"We still have plenty of time to maneuver!"
"The most important thing now is that we Huaixi people must not have internal friction by ourselves."
After Li Shanchang's persuasion, everyone's emotions eased a lot, and they gradually calmed down.
"Then please give advice to the old brothers, you are our nod, and the brothers will listen to you!"
"Yes! Hurry up and give us a move, let's buy more than 10,000 acres, and even the family has been put in, how can we live in the future? ”
"Brother Lu Ju is right, this time our brother didn't buy tens of thousands of acres, this acre of land is not counted, and we will have to pay grain taxes in the future, which... Do we brothers have a better life? ”
“…”
Bang!
Li Shanchang slapped the table, interrupted everyone's indignation, and said with a gloomy face:
"So far, the old man won't hide it from you!"
"The reason why the emperor made this decision is actually that there are traitors who are doing it!"
