Chapter 428 Father still has an oral order?
Jinan Prefecture, the chief envoy's yamen.
Ru Chang listened to the noise outside the yamen, filled with endless sorrow.
Because it is none other than the people who came to make trouble today, it is the people in Shandong who benefit the most from the New Deal!
He couldn't figure out why the people would oppose him and the emperor's grandson's New Deal!
Couldn't they see that the New Deal was aimed at attacking powerful landlords, officials and gentry, and the clan of the Ming Dynasty?
In order to implement the New Deal, he was assassinated several times and impeached by countless officials, and the circle of folk scholars even scolded him as a running dog.
However, after paying so much, what I got was...
"Ru Chang dog officer, get out of Jinan Mansion!"
"Be like a dog official, working for a tiger. Bullying the good and exploiting the common people!"
"If you behave like you always do, you will lose your conscience. Taxes will be raised in disaster years, and the family will be destroyed!"
Ru often hears people scolding her like this, and she is so wronged that she wants to hang herself.I came to Shandong to do things at the risk of being ruined and notorious for thousands of years. Is this how ordinary people evaluate themselves?
When Ru Chang doubted life and society, the two tigers outside the crowd were also full of doubts.
It stands to reason that the emperor's grandson's New Deal should be good, why did he attract so many troublemakers?
Erhu came to Shandong this time, not only with the idea of expressing anger for the emperor, but also shouldering the responsibility of collecting stories for the emperor and observing the attitude of the people towards the New Deal.
Therefore, casual clothes are all the way.
At this time, seeing thousands of people crowding in front of the governor's office, the two tigers threw the horses to the followers, and squeezed into the crowd with their arms and waists.
He grabbed a man who yelled the loudest and asked.
"Dare to ask, brother, why are you so dissatisfied with the New Deal?"
"It stands to reason that the emperor's grandson's new policy is very good for the common people. It can save a lot of taxes, and there is no need for compulsory corvee."
The man was surprised when he heard this.
"few?"
"Which eye of yours is missing!"
"I used to farm land for Mr. Liu's family, just pay one bucket of rice per mu, and I don't have to do corvee!"
"Now there are two fights for no reason, and I will suffer a lot!"
When the people around heard the man complaining, they also started complaining in unison.
"My brother-in-law used to hang the land under the name of the King of Qi, and the King of Qi only charged one and a half buckets per mu, no other taxes..."
"There is also my family, who used to hang the land on Yanshenggong's mansion, and the annual land rent is not much, which is less than what the emperor's grandson set!"
Erhu listened for a while, and immediately understood what kind of stuff these people were. Dare to say, this is a bunch of scumbags!
"Then do you still have to bully my people for princes, landlords and the like?"
"It doesn't count..."
"It's just collecting rent for the old men..."
Erhu didn't bother to listen when he heard this, and directly signaled to the Jin Yiwei behind him, telling them to drive away the gangsters.
After Jin Yiwei tore off the outer blouse, revealing Jin Yiwei's unique flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives inside, the unscrupulous people guarding the chief envoy's yamen immediately dispersed.
But they didn't go far, but hid not far away to watch the fun.
"What did I say, Ru often bullying people like this will definitely end badly!"
"See now, the emperor sent Jin Yiwei to arrest him!"
"really?"
"In this way, the emperor also knows that Ru Chang has done too much, and wants to abolish the New Deal?"
"That's really great, we don't have to pay taxes in the future, hahaha!"
While the people on the street were celebrating with each other, Ru Chang, who was hiding in the door, really felt cold in his heart.
He had known for a long time that he would end up dead, a lackey.When the birds are gone, the good bow will end up.It's just that it never occurred to him that the cunning rabbit hadn't died yet, and the birds hadn't been killed, so His Majesty the Emperor couldn't wait to take his own life!
Ru Chang thought of this, and immediately knelt on the ground respectfully. When the two tigers pushed open the gate of the chief envoy's yamen, Ru Chang had already taken off his official hat, waiting for the death sentence in despair.
Seeing that Ru often cooperates so well, Er Hu is a little embarrassed to mention Lao Zhu's oral instructions.
Lao Zhu also knew that he was not honest in this matter, so he didn't dare to keep the calligraphy.
"Cough cough..."
"His Majesty the Emperor's oral order!"
"Sinner Ru Chang respectfully invites Sheng An!"
"Saint Gong'an!"
"Ru Chang, you are so brave, you dare to disrespect the feudal lord!"
"Let the two tigers escort Ru Chang to Prince Qi's mansion, and hand him over to the King of Qi!"
When Ru Chang heard this, she was a little surprised in her heart, but there was no surprise on her face.
His Majesty's oral order was reasonable and reasonable, and it was unexpected, but it was not too far away.
"Sinful Minister Ruchang takes the decree to thank you!"
After Erhu passed on Lao Zhu's oral instruction, he looked at Ru Chang with an embarrassed expression on his face.
"Master Ru, when Beizhi left Beijing this time, the emperor's grandson asked Beizhi to send you a message."
"Emperor grandson?"
When Ru Chang heard this, the emotions accumulated for many days suddenly couldn't hold back, and she burst into tears with a groan.
"The grandson of the emperor still remembers the guilty minister?"
"The grandson of the emperor... the guilty minister... the criminal minister can trouble you, and the criminal minister will have no regrets even if he dies, woo woo woo..."
Erhu was directly fooled by Ru Chang's reaction, thinking what's wrong with this man, so he was sure that he came to kill him?
"Ru Chang, do you still listen to the emperor's grandson?"
"listen!"
"Please read the imperial edict from the emperor's grandson!"
"The grandson of the emperor said to let you rest assured that he will make decisions for you and firmly support you!"
"The emperor's grandson really said that?"
"Of course!"
"Could it be that I dare to pass on the emperor's grandson's oral order?"
"No, no, that's not what the criminal minister meant..."
Er Hu interrupted Ru Chang's polite way.
"Hurry up, I'll take you to Prince Qi's mansion for a while and you have to go back!"
When Erhu led Ru Chang to the Qi Palace, Zhu Yu was lying on the bed and screaming in the Qi Palace.
"Ru Chang, you are so deceitful that you dare to order someone to shoot at this king's horse, causing me to fall off the horse!"
"Gu will never spare him!"
"I'm going to Beijing to sue the imperial court!"
"Gu wants to let the emperor kill him to avenge Gu!"
"Ouch...it hurts to death, woo woo woo..."
Princess Qi Wu Shi echoed from the side.
"Your Highness has been wronged..."
"Your Highness, you still don't know that when the emperor's grandson was in Shandong, he treated our Qi Palace even more..."
"If it weren't for the concubine's desperate protection, the concubine's younger brother Wu Shou'an would have been killed by the emperor's grandson!"
When Zhu Yu heard this, he slapped Wu's backhand.
"shut your mouth!"
"We're only targeting ordinary people like Ru Chang now, and have nothing to do with the emperor's grandson!"
"Thousands of mistakes are the fault of Ru Chang's treacherous ministers, and the emperor's grandson is not wrong at all!"
Wu shi covered her face, her face full of disbelief.
"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"
"You didn't complain two nights ago..."
Seeing that Mrs. Wu was so ignorant, Zhu Yu was so angry that he ordered someone to drag him out on the spot.
"To shut up!"
"Gu He ever complained halfway!"
"It's just Ru Chang, a treacherous minister, who I hate alone!"
"Come here, help the princess back to the apse. Without my king's order, she is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step!"
"promise!"
Seeing that the prince was angry, Mrs. Wu didn't dare to speak any more, and could only cry out of the hall surrounded by maids and eunuchs.
In Wu's opinion, His Royal Highness definitely took the wrong medicine, otherwise how could his temperament change so drastically?
In fact, Zhu Yu really didn't take any medicine.The reason why he has such an attitude is because he received a secret letter, which was sent to him by his second brother Zhu Xi.
Zhu Xi told him in the letter that their respective palaces already had spies from Jin Yiwei, and told him to be careful in everything.
At the same time, he was also warned not to target Zhu Yunxi, even if he complained.If you have to resent, then blame the treacherous ministers around Zhu Yunxi!
After reading the second brother's secret letter, Zhu Yu knew what the second brother was up to.If what he expected was correct, his second brother wanted to oppose Zhu Yunxi under the banner of "Zhu Chaocuo, the Qing emperor's side"!
As long as Zhu Yunxie's left and right arms are knocked out, Zhu Yunxie, the grandson of the emperor, will naturally be a polished general, and there will be no big waves.
The emperor has no reason to blame them. Those uncles who were bullied so badly did not resent the elder nephew. They defended the elder nephew everywhere. They just got rid of the treacherous ministers around the elder nephew. The old man couldn't find fault if he wanted to!
Just as Zhu Yu was thinking this way, he suddenly heard a rushing voice from outside the door.
"Your Highness!"
"The big thing is not good, Erhu brought Jin Yiwei to the palace!"
"Accompanying him is that dog, Ru Chang!"
When Zhu Mi heard this, she got up from the bed in shock, completely forgetting that she was moaning and screaming in pain just now.
"Wu Shouan, who do you think is here? Didn't Erhu serve the emperor? Why did he suddenly come to Shandong?"
"Who says it's not? When I saw Erhu, I was also taken aback. Seeing Erhu's face, it seemed that the visitor was not kind!"
Zhu Yu immediately panicked when he heard the words, and spun around in a hurry on the ground.
"How can this be done!"
"Father is the most eccentric, and Gu is worse than the stepmother. Father must have sent two tigers to punish him..."
"I hate being bullied like this. Father not only doesn't help me, but also helps outsiders bully me. I..."
Seeing that King Qi was so frightened that he was about to cry, Wu Shouan quickly suggested.
"Your Highness, why don't you pretend to be sick on the bed?"
"Even if the two tigers obey the emperor's order, it can be seen that you are seriously ill in bed, so they dare not do anything to you?"
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Yes!"
"Gu is also a vassal king, Er Hu, that dog slave, dare to beat Gu?"
"Come here, get some quilts for Gu Duo, and tell Gu Duo that he is terminally ill and cannot go down to greet him!"
"promise!"
Er Hu led Ru Chang to wait in the front hall for quite a while, but no one came out to greet him, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, isn't this King Qi's spectrum too big? ,
Just when Erhu was thinking this way, he saw Wu Shouan coming out crying.
"Brother Erhu, my Highness heard that you were coming, and wanted to go out to greet you in person. However, your body is seriously injured, and you really can't get out of bed. Please condescend to go over..."
"Is it that serious?"
Erhu looked at Ru Chang in surprise, and Ru Chang looked at Wu Shou'an in a dazed expression, thinking that he had seen a ghost, King Qi just fell off his horse, and the fall was not heavy. He could chase after himself and scold him for two blocks, why can't he even get out of bed all of a sudden?
"go!"
"Take me to see!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Erhu came to King Qi's bedroom, and when he saw King Qi lying on the bed trembling, his face suddenly turned black.
This guy is pretending to be sick!
Erhu is the ancestor who founded Jinyiwei, and he is the most experienced in dealing with all kinds of prisoners pretending to be sick. He can tell at a glance that King Qi is pretending.
But he can't expose it, so he can only give him some eye drops when he returns to Beijing to report to the emperor.
"King Qi is really sick!"
King Qi saw that Erhu spoke so lightly, so he knew that he had not deceived him about his tricks.But he didn't panic, as long as he didn't get punished by his father, he would make money.
"I made the two tiger brothers laugh. Gu Zhen is seriously injured and cannot go to greet him in person..."
"By the way, the two tiger brothers came here this time to bring the emperor's will?"
The two tigers nodded and said.
"There is indeed an oral order!"
"But His Highness is not hesitant, so it's worth not saying this ordinance!"
When King Qi heard this, he was secretly relieved.
Since you can speak or not, it proves that there is nothing serious about yourself.
Once he was sure that he was fine, King Qi became curious instead.
"How can you not say the imperial father's oral order?"
"Come here, bring the son here, and let the son kowtow on Gu's behalf!"
The two tigers waved their hands when they heard the words.
"Don't bother your son, it's the emperor who heard that you fell off the horse and expressed his concern, so he specially asked the humble officer to come over to express his condolences."
Zhu Yu asked stupidly when he heard this.
"That's it?"
Erhu looked at Ru Changdao at the side.
"The other thing is to ask the humble officer to bring Ru Chang over and hand it over to His Highness!"
"what!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yu was so pleasantly surprised that he was like a dead body, and jumped up from the bed.Unexpectedly, the quilt on his body was too heavy, and half of his body was pressed back when he got up.
"You are all dead, why don't you take off the quilt on me!"
"promise!"
Several eunuchs hurried forward and removed the quilts covering King Qi's body layer by layer. Except for the restraints, King Qi jumped off the bed as if nothing had happened, and laughed around Ru Chang like a big bad wolf. .
"Ru Chang Pif didn't expect that you have today too, hahaha!"
"Father is still facing his own family, and he doesn't want someone to hold back... um, what..."
"Come here, bring me this king's sword, this king will cut up Ru Chang piece by piece and feed it to the dogs!"
Hearing this, Wu Shouan hurried to the wall to get King Qi's sword, but before he handed the sword to King Qi, he was stopped by the two tigers on the side.
"Your Majesty said, you are not allowed to hurt Ru Chang, but you are only allowed to beat a few whips to vent your anger!"
"what?"
King Qi looked at Erhu in surprise.
"Didn't the father say that Ru Chang should be handed over to Gu?"
Erhu rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, His Majesty just said that Ru Chang would be handed over to you, but he didn't say that you should deal with it as you like!"
"Come!"
"Take a humble whip and beat him a few times to vent his anger, and this matter is over!"
Zhu Yu took the whip from Erhu and shook it in his hand, feeling light and without any strength.
"Er Hu, your whip is for chasing chickens, isn't it? Does it hurt when you hit someone?"
Erhu said impatiently.
"Let's use it alive, the emperor's grandson snatched this whip from His Royal Highness the fourth emperor's grandson!"
"Zhu Yunxi?"
Zhu Yu completely lost his temper when he heard this, and dare to let him hit him twice!
Ru Chang also understood at this time that His Majesty did not want his life, but just wanted King Qi to beat him a few times to vent his anger!
For His Majesty the Emperor, this is already extraordinarily generous to him, how dare he complain in his heart?
Ru Chang hurriedly knelt on the ground, assuming a posture of admitting punishment.
Zhu Mi looked at Ru Chang who was kneeling on the ground and was so angry that he thought the whip was too weak to beat him, and he felt panicked if he didn't beat him.
Zhu Yu hesitated for a while, then swung his whip at Ru Chang and gave him a heavy blow, nearly breaking both of his arms, but Ru Chang just didn't say a word!
There is really no need for Ru Chang to say anything. The humiliation in front of him is nothing compared to his coal mining in Zhongshan Coal Mine.
Erhu asked with a smile when he saw Zhu Yu sitting on a chair panting for breath.
"Is His Royal Highness Qi exhausted?"
Zhu Yu snorted angrily.
"Let's just leave it at that, he'll be fine if you keep beating him, but I'm going to be exhausted to death!"
Erhu laughed when he heard the words.
"Since King Qi has finished punishing Ru Chang, please kneel down and accept His Majesty's orders!"
King Qi was stunned when he heard this.
"What?"
"Father still has an oral order?"
"This time it won't be an orphan?"
