Chapter 344 murder
Chapter 344 Killing people with a heart
Inside and outside the Dudu Mansion, there was deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Zhu Chun in disbelief.
Zhu Chun is still calm and composed, and there is still an air of elegance in every gesture.
Everyone thought they heard it wrong.
The Yingtian Mansion Yin Deng Wenda smiled and said: “Your Highness…Your Highness…what did you just say?”
“Investigate hidden fields and hidden households!” Zhu Chun answered bluntly.
Deng Wenda: “…”
All of a sudden, many people began to panic.
This man… he’s crazy.
Mixed among the crowd, Li Shimian was originally in high spirits, like a spring breeze.
Of course, there are many people who praise him. These days, he can be said to be famous.
Who doesn’t know… If he didn’t dare to be the first in the world, and took this step in the game of the King of Shu entering Beijing, I’m afraid that the New Deal… would intensify.
Can now…
Li Shimian just felt a little dizzy.
“Your Highness… no… no…”
Shu King Zhu Chun said: “Why not.”
He looked at Chen Han, the prefect of Zhenjiang.
Chen Han hurriedly said: “This… this will cause trouble, and… such a nuisance to the people, people… people…”
Shu King Zhu Chun said calmly: “What do Qingzhang Yintian and hermits have to do with disturbing the people?”
“This… the law of the ancestors…”
“Emperor Taizu Gao… If he learns that someone hides his property and household registration, and refuses to pay money and food to the government and the court, such people… will be punished!”
“Your Highness… If so, I’m afraid Your Highness will disappoint Yu Nei.”
Shu King Zhu Chun said: “Paying taxes and taxes is the right thing to do. Why are you disappointed?”
“But the world has been decided for the first time. It should… be peaceful and healthy. Whether it is a sage king or a virtuous minister, it should be governed…”
Zhu Chun, King of Shu, said: “Even Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ruled by doing nothing. What is the meaning of the word ‘inaction’? The word ‘inaction’ comes from Huang Lao. Under the premise of law and discipline, someone hides his property and does not pay taxes, what is he going to do? Such a person…if Emperor Wenwen of Han was here, he would never sit back and watch such a thing…”
“This…”
Shu King Zhu Chun said: “This matter… must be done. This king is the governor of the left. Whoever dares to obstruct it will never be lightly forgiven!”
The Yin of the Yingtian Mansion, Deng Wenda, said angrily: “I’m an official… because… this is not good governance… I can’t do it… If Your Highness insists on doing this, I’m an official… I’m an official…”
“Then you resign.” Zhu Chun said: “There is no need for a vegetarian meal in the dead body, and it is useless to stay in Yingtian Mansion. Come and teach him to sign and draw!”
As he was speaking, a civil official came forward and took a piece of paper. Deng Wenda, Yingtianfu Yin, was shocked when he saw this, and saw that the letter of resignation had already been copied for him on the paper.
“Nonsense… nonsense…” Deng Wenda was furious, after all, he was not an ordinary magistrate, but the governor of Yingtian Prefecture, a serious official of the frontier, at this time he was furious, and said: “Your Highness is too deceitful. ”
Zhu Chun responded immediately: “Since you don’t resign, it seems that you are shameless. The king thought that you were old and it was not easy, so he asked you to resign. But you don’t want this face, so that’s good. The king is the first I impeach you, not only that… under the Governor’s Mansion, there is absolutely no place for you, Deng Wenda, come here… invite him out!”
Deng Wenda only felt his brain swell.
Several civil servants stepped forward, but Deng Wenda refused to leave, shouting loudly: “Isn’t His Highness the King of Shu afraid of arousing the wrath of the world?”
“What kind of people are you?” Zhu Chun said: “You have been an official for many years, what achievements have you made, and what actions have you taken? After eating the fat of the people, brazenly stealing high positions, you dare to call yourself a person of the world… This person is arrogant and daring… Come on. …Put it down!”
When the civil servants saw this, they dragged Deng Wenda away.
Generally, even if there is a disparity in status between the upper and lower officials, this is not the case.
After all, Zhu Chun is only the governor of the second rank, while Deng Wenda is also regarded as the governor of the third rank, and they are both considered to be the chief officials of the frontier.
But unfortunately… the officials promoted by the court are also very strange. They really promoted a real Buddha. With the great power of the governor in his body, it’s just like playing around with a Yingtian Fu Yin.
Deng Wenda was still shouting: “I will sue and impeach…”
Zhu Chunli ignored it, and then asked, “Which one is Yingtianfu Shaoyin?”
Someone stood up timidly.
“Tomorrow, the Japanese king will play you as the governor of Yingtianfu, and you will take his place temporarily.”
This person hurriedly bowed down: “The lower officials have little talent and learning, it is really embarrassing to take on the heavy responsibility…”
Zhu Chun said: “Come here, get rid of him too. Who is the Prime Minister of Yingtian Mansion?”
Another person came out tremblingly.
Zhu Chun said: “Can you take the position of governor?”
“The next official…I’m also afraid of embarrassing this job.”
Zhu Chun said: “The easiest thing in the world to do is to be an official. If you can’t even become an official, then this person is useless. Since you refuse, it is obvious that you are a mediocre person like them. As long as this king If you still serve as the governor, you must ask Your Majesty to abolish your official position.”
“I… I… I would like to serve His Highness!” The Fu Cheng was in a hurry.
Zhu Chun nodded, and said: “Very well, as for your position, I will naturally choose someone else to replace you. Now…all the prefectures and counties, you must leave the hidden fields and hidden households within one month. The king will personally go to all the prefectures and counties to check, and if he finds that there are still people hiding in the fields, he will punish the local chief and assistant officials, and regard them as crimes of corruption and perverting the law, and they also know how to break the law, and the crime needs to be increased.” This time…it completely stunned everyone.
No one expected that it turned out that the king of Shu was attracted to check and balance Duke Wei, but in the end…it turned out to be a way to lure wolves into the house.
Everyone’s heart was at the bottom of the valley.
At this time, someone shouted: “Nonsense, nonsense…this is nonsense…”
Someone screamed loudly.
But outside the yamen hall, a man who looked like a scholar yelled loudly.
Zhu Chun only glanced sideways at this person: “Who is this person, dare to come and roar?”
The man came in, but he was a scholar. He bowed to Zhu Chun and said: “The student is Liu Wen, a student from Yingtian Mansion, Your Highness…Everyone in Yingtian Mansion knows that Deng’s mansion is Master Qingtian, so good Official, Your Highness wants to depose him, and now he is forcing officials to clear the land, Your Highness… Aren’t you afraid of causing a civil uprising?”
“Are you threatening me?” Zhu Chun’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
This pair of eyes actually has a bit of Zhu Di’s demeanor at the moment.
The man said with a sigh: “This is not a threat, it is a warning to Your Highness, Your Highness…”
“Take him down!” Zhu Chun shouted.
Listen up, the guards, let’s do it.
No one expected that Zhu Chun, king of Shu, would be so unkind.
So, someone started to shout: “What is your Highness doing?”
“Such arbitrariness, is this going to cut off the livelihood of my little people?”
Then Li Shimian was even more in the crowd, shouting: “My lords, His Royal Highness the King of Shu must have been bewitched or coerced by others… We must express our interests…”
Zhu Chun had no expression on his face. At this time, there were shouts everywhere. There were not many guards in the Dudu’s mansion, and it suddenly became a precarious situation.
Zhu Chun hurried to the scholar Liu Wen: “Are these your accomplices?”
Liu Wendao: “Your Highness, please take the hearts of the people of the world as your heart, and never let me wait for grassroots…”
Zhu Chun suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist.
The vassal kings wear swords, mostly for decoration.
But even if it is a decorative object, this sword is extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud.
Zhu Chun’s sword pierced Liu Wen’s lower ribs before he could say anything.
Liu Wen was shocked, screamed, and then spurted blood from his mouth.
The long sword under the ribs was drawn out, and the blood also sprayed out, and suddenly, Zhu Chun was sprinkled all over.
Zhu Chun yelled sharply: “Since you are called a grassroots, you should know… the consequences of threatening the king. Hiding the fields is already a serious crime. You, a grassroots, dare to make false suggestions that the government should pursue the matter of hiding the fields!”
After finishing speaking, he took two steps with the blood sword in his hand, glanced around, and everyone was shocked. The people who were screaming were all dumbfounded, but at this moment they suddenly fell silent.
Zhu Chunsu said: “Anyone else who opens his eyes to those who hide in the fields can stand up.”
“…”
After Zhu Chun returned to the copybook, he slapped the blood sword on the copybook: “Furthermore, if an official commits a crime, he will be dismissed immediately and replaced by subordinate officials from the county and the government. For investigation, this king accepts your resignation, but if there are people in the future who are obedient or unfavorable in doing things, under the rule of the Zuo Dudu Mansion, some people can replace them, and this king will never tolerate adultery!”
In the government office, there were only some people trembling and dumbfounded, and some people just felt their stomachs rolling and wanted to vomit.
However, there are also many civil servants… A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes of all of them.
Yes… There are countless people in Yingtian Mansion who hate Taiping Mansion.
But… I have to admit that these groups who have always been regarded as lowly by officials and maintain the operation of the government and county government on weekdays are not without envy of the Taiping Mansion.
Back then, the officials in Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion were very different now. Back then, sometimes some official documents and official affairs needed to be delivered and contacted by the clerks of the two governments. At that time, everyone was a clerk. In the eyes of the common people, it was considered a good career, but in the eyes of the officials, they were dogs. It’s not as good as coming and going as soon as you call.
But now, I don’t know how many civil servants who used to be acquainted, and now they have turned over, and some even become officials, and the one with the highest hearing… has now reached the high position of magistrate and acquaintance.
This is definitely beyond the imagination of these knife and pen officials. The gap between the two sides is already the difference between a human and a dog.
It can be said…even if the officials are drinking tea leisurely one by one, yelling at the Taiping Mansion, and the officials of the knife and pen are all cautious in their words and deeds, and dare not express any position.
But in the whole of Zhili, after hearing that the Yoududu Mansion is not under the jurisdiction of the prefecture and the county, everyone is hiding in a place where there is no one, beating their chests and falling, and they all want to jump.
And now…
The civil servants saw Ying Tian Fu Yin who had been kicked out.
Look at the dead scholar on the ground.
At this time…they realized that His Highness was determined to carry out the New Deal.
With such determination and a famous vassal king, there are still things he cannot accomplish in the world.
It’s… done.
Zhu Chun was also meaningful, and observed the appearance of several civil servants around him trying to hide their smiles.
He withdrew his eyes, and he was already holding Zhizhu.
He didn’t wipe the blood, and directly put his sword back into its sheath.
My goal…achieved.
During these days of visits, he has roughly understood the situation of the various prefectures under his rule.
The attitudes and demands of the New Deal are different.
Many officials are unwilling, but the knife and pen officials strongly agree with it. The gentry and village sages are very opposed, but merchants and farmers are looking forward to it day and night.
In addition, the inspections of various prefectures have different attitudes. Of course, there are more supporters.
What he has to do is to swear his determination to implement the New Deal, so that those who have great expectations for the New Deal can understand their attitude.
Then… many things will come to fruition in the future.
As for the revenge of these officials, or the opposition of the gentry and village sages.
What does this have to do with him? He is the majestic king of Shu. When His Majesty saw him, he would call him brother, and when the prince saw him, he would salute and call him uncle.
As for these so-called officials and sages, what are they?
So… the scholar who was killed, and the unlucky governor, are just his props.
Hey…Since the Xifan barbarians in Shu land made rebellion at the beginning, they burned Heiyaguan and looted endlessly. After I went out with the great general Sapphire to suppress him, I haven’t killed anyone for ten years. This swordsmanship is still unfamiliar after all.
He sighed in his heart, held his sword and left.
“…”
In the entire Dudu Mansion, there was still deathly silence.
Outside the Governor’s Mansion, the pot exploded, countless people wailed, and some people beat their chests and fell their feet.
This is a plague **** invited.
It’s still the kind of one that can’t be sent away once it arrives.
But Zhu Chun, King of Shu, didn’t seem to care about the noisy shouts outside.
He returned to the dormitory of the Dudu Mansion.
Here, the two of Liu Desheng who had already heard the news turned pale with shock.
They couldn’t imagine that His Highness would do such a thing.
In their impression, His Highness is someone who would not even kill a chicken.
Their evaluation of the king of Shu is: filial piety and friendliness by nature, comprehensive knowledge of classics, elegant appearance, good reading, close to Confucian scholars, and capable of writing.
Can now…
Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, covered in blood, returned to the small hall.
The two were taken aback.
Zhu Chun smiled and said: “I didn’t frighten the two gentlemen. If I frightened the two gentlemen, then I deserve death.”
“This… this… Your Highness… what are you going to do?” Liu Desheng said.
Zhu Chun said: “Hey…it’s hard to say. I know that the two gentlemen definitely don’t agree with this king’s actions. This king…since I have assumed the post of governor, then I have to take on such a big responsibility. The two gentlemen… this time I will accompany you to Beijing, and we will go all the way. You have worked hard, you are all well-read poets and books, this capital city is a place of right and wrong, please go back to Sichuan, gentlemen.”
Liu Desheng and Liu Desheng looked at each other, shocked.
Zhu Chun smiled and said: “Hey…if this king can be like the two gentlemen, it would be fine to be a wild crane. It’s a pity…although this king was born rich, but this wealth did not come for nothing. Anyway, these years , I have benefited a lot from the teachings of the two gentlemen, today…”
Zhu Chun got up and gave them a deep bow: “He has made great achievements in Japan, and when he returns to Shuzhong, he still needs to ask for advice.”
The two of Liu Desheng were at a loss.
Actually, this Liu Desheng wanted to persuade him.
Seeing that Zhu Chun was covered in blood, he finally let out a long sigh and said, “Hey… let’s go… Your Highness, please take care of it.”
“There will be a period later.”
Liu Desheng and Liu Desheng bowed in return: “May Your Highness always remember the words of the saints.”
“Always remember, never dare to forget.” Zhu Chun said seriously.
Liu Desheng: “…”
Watching the two leave, the Dudu Mansion has prepared chariots, horses and money for the two, and the two didn’t say anything, they just wanted to stay away from the right and wrong place.
When the two left, Zhu Chun let out a long sigh, and suddenly said: “Tomorrow…someone will go to the Youdu Dufu’s Mansion. I have heard that the Youdu Dudu Mansion has made some forms and data, the money and rations of the entire Zhili prefectures and the school children, etc. There are all the waiting numbers, and a copy will be made. This king will hang it in the lobby of the Dudu’s Mansion. You must look at the whole Dudu’s Mansion. Know your shame and then be brave. The Zuo Dudu’s Mansion is governed by a rich land. In addition, all the prefectures and counties must select young and capable officials to go to Taiping Mansion. This king will go to the Taiping Mansion Governor to get in touch. It is best to find a way to let You Dudu Mansion select and send some officials to come. .”
The clerk on the side quickly took notes.
Zhu Chun raised his head, looked at the official and said, “Are you willing to go to Taiping Mansion to study for a few months?”
“This…” The clerk was full of surprise and couldn’t believe it, and immediately bowed down: “Wish… willing…”
Zhu Chun smiled: “Well…it seems…this king is right.”
This clerk is at a loss, is that correct? Did you see yourself right? But as a mere official, His Highness is so honorable, how could he pay extra attention to him, His Highness didn’t even ask his name.
So… what did he read?
…
“It’s terrible, it’s terrible…” Gao Xiang was like crazy, and ran towards the right governor’s mansion.
This is definitely not the style of an old official like Gao Xiang.
He looks calm no matter what he does, and he will never do such a boring thing.
But now, Gao Xiang came to Zhang Anshi out of breath, out of breath, as if extremely thirsty, sticking out his tongue, before Zhang Anshi asked: “Something big, something big happened.”
Zhang Anshi said: “What’s the matter, I was shocked.”
“Yingtian Mansion…Ying Tian Mansion…are in trouble, you know…His Royal Highness the King of Shu…When I returned to Ying Tian Mansion today, the first thing I did was to investigate Yintian and Yinhu…”
Zhang Anshi: “…”
“Also, there are people who object, Governor, think about it, Yingtian Mansion is the place with the most scholars, and I don’t know how many gentry and village sages have set up residences in Yingtian Mansion, and occasionally live in Yingtian Mansion, so… This, it’s a big mess, His Royal Highness the King of Shu actually killed a scholar with a sword… Oh… Dudu, you didn’t see what it was like, the whole Yingtian Mansion was blown up. Quite a number of scholars were wailing… all of a sudden… it was a mess.”
Zhang Anshi: “…”
“Captain, what’s wrong with you, just say a word.”
Zhang Anshidao: “I didn’t expect… this king of Shu is more radical than me.”
“Yeah, I really didn’t expect that. Now…Ying Tianfu is going crazy. If it weren’t for his duty, I would really like to go and see for myself. I also heard that…some people have agreed to throw themselves into the river.”
Zhang Anshi actually expected… Zhu Chun, king of Shu, might not stand against him.
This is also the reason why Zhang Anshi implored the emperor to call the king of Shu to Beijing.
Because it is very simple, the Four Books and Five Classics, including all the Confucian sages, have never said that…a scholar is superior to others, he can not bear taxes, what privileges he can have…
The reason why many people associate these things with sages and the Four Books and Five Classics is that Zhang Anshi hacked up the scholars with a knife and bled them. As a result, these people… had to bring out the sages and use all kinds of strange theories to fight back. .
How could it be possible for Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to have the same interest standpoint as a scholar? What he reads from sage books is the principle of governing the country and the world.
What’s more, Zhu Chun, everyone really did not wrong the person, this person is really quite wise, a wise person… how could he be confused.
It can only be said that the hundreds of officials in the court not only used those words to fool others, but also used this words to fool themselves, so that…the king of Shu Zhu Chun was invited here, because they could be regarded as their own protectors.
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but mourn for them.
However…Zhang Anshi still didn’t expect that Zhu Chun would do such a wonderful thing.
He was speechless in a daze.
Gao Xiang pinched his long beard happily, wanting to say something else.
But Zhang Anshi slapped his thigh: “Oh… I almost forgot, oops, oops.”
Gao Xiang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: “Captain… What’s wrong, what did you forget?”
Zhang Anshi’s eyes became anxious, and he said: “Hurry up, hurry up… Post a notice, give me… Let me let Xuezheng and discipline teachers go to Yingtian Mansion, where the most scholars are. Taking advantage of this time, let’s take in some sad scholars.”
Gao Xiang: “…”
Zhang Anshidao: “What are you still doing in a daze, what we lack most now is the literacy rate.”
Gao Xiang said: “It’s not good, I’m afraid… Xuezheng and the instructors will go… those scholars… have nowhere to vent, and if any conflicts arise, I’m afraid that there will be no return.”
Zhang An Shidao: “Don’t be afraid, you can teach Chen Li to arrange some people. Don’t worry, they won’t die.”
But at this time, a **** came in a hurry: “Duke Wei, Your Majesty has an invitation.”
Zhang Anshi: “…”
…
Zhu Di looked confused and read the report sent by Dongchang over and over again.
He kept yelling and cursing repeatedly: “Fuck his mother… **** his mother…”
Yi Shiha didn’t know who entered this time, but he didn’t dare to ask anyway.
“The two scholars really drowned in the river?”
“Yes, I thought it was a joke at first, but then… I found the corpse…”
Zhu Di said: “Zhang Anshi, what about Zhang Anshi, why hasn’t he arrived yet. This guy…it seems…it’s really a clever calculation, he really did the right calculation.”
Yi Shiha laughed dryly and said, “Your Majesty has already instructed someone to invite you, Your Majesty…there is some distance here…”
Zhu Di nodded, then continued to look down at the report in disbelief, cursing like a wheel in his mouth: “Fuck his mother, **** his mother…”
…
Chapter 2 is delivered, try to be earlier tomorrow, sorry, the code word speed is limited.
