Chapter 384: Covetous


The so-called white horse crossing gap is the most correct for Zhu Xu.

Standing under the eaves, looking at the first snow of the year, Zhu Xu was also full of joy.

King Ping stood beside Zhu Xu and said with a smile, "It is said that Ruixue is a good year, Your Majesty, next year must be a good year." ” Cao Huachun listened from the back and laughed quietly.

The people around the emperor, who don't know that the emperor guesses that the drought will become more and more serious in the future, where will the good years come from.

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, didn't you come to the palace today to report the snow to me, right?"

” King Ping said: "How dare the minister, there are a few opera troupes from Jiangnan recently, and the minister has come to invite the emperor to listen to it together." ” Zhu Xu glanced at him in surprise, and then said, "Okay, then let's go and listen to it together." ” King Ping smiled and said, "Make sure the emperor likes it." ” Zhu Xu left the palace, and now the more grand, before and after, fully mobilized hundreds of people, from the eunuchs, palace maids to the forbidden army, the momentum is extremely majestic.

Zhu Xu was wrapped in a thick cotton suit, and walked into King Ping's mansion with King Ping, and said with a smile as he walked, "Uncle Huang, what kind of drama is it today?"

” King Ping bowed down and said, "The minister knows that the emperor likes to listen to small tunes, which are small tunes on the mountain/east side, and it is said that it is adapted from "The Legend of the West Chamber". ” Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, a large group of people came out of the palace.

King Jing, King Lu took the lead, as well as the British Duke, Xu Guogong, plus Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Zuo Guangdou and others, more than 20 people stepped forward at the same time and said, "The ministers and others meet the emperor." ” Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, there are princes, princes, and old ministers of Zhishi, this combination in the past Daming, it will definitely make Daming earthquake if he stomps his feet.

Some have now surrendered, and some are still waiting, but since they are here at this moment, they are waiting for him to recruit him.

Zhu Xu was thoughtful, and smiled at King Ping: "Uncle Huang, I have a hobby that cannot be put on the table, and I will be ridiculed by the world." ” King Ping had been observing Zhu Xu's expression, and seeing that he was not angry, he also secretly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Where the emperor said, Xiaoqu also has the elegance of Xiaoqu, and I often listen to it." ” Zhu Xu secretly exhaled, it was about to end the year, and he was going to have a good year after all, he raised his hand and said: "Let's all be flat, today, the monarch and the ministers will have fun together, and there is no need to be formal." ” "Your Majesty."

And they stood on both sides.

After Zhu Xu sat down, the seats were arranged in turn, and King Ping accompanied Zhu Xu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you will be here soon." ” Zhu Xu nodded, holding a hot teacup in his hand, glanced at the people present, and looked at the platform set up not far away with a smile.

Snowflakes are falling, there is snow everywhere, and the figures on the stage are in a hurry, nervously preparing.

"Hey, it's still the emperor's uncle who is comfortable here," Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "The palace, it's stuffy like a coffin, and it's hard to breathe." ” It hasn't started yet, and Zhu Xu's voice is not loud, but it has spread to everyone present.

Everyone present is considered to have dealt with Zhu Xu, and when they saw that he was still so 'rude', they had the right to assume that they didn't hear it.

On the right side of Zhu Xu, it is Xu Guogong, Ying/Guogong and others, Zuo Guangdou is separated by a few, and before he has started, he stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "Dare to ask the emperor, I heard that this year's summer grain is nearly 30 million stones, I don't know if it's true?"

” 30 million stone tax grain, I am afraid that it is only back to the orthodox years, there is such a number.

Zhu Xu looked at Zuo Guangdou, and suddenly thought of his role in the 'Palace Removal Case', and then remembered a certain legend of the dynasty.

A minister wanted to 'reason' with the emperor, but the emperor refused to listen and walked away, so the minister chased after him, grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and blocked the pillar for half an hour before he would let the emperor go.

Although the statement is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to show the status of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, once standing on the moral high ground, even the emperor has to back down.

Zhu Xu's eyes flashed in a trance, and he said quietly: "It seems that the confidential work of the household department is very bad, and such an important number is actually spread everywhere." ” Zuo Guangdou's expression changed slightly, his face was calm, and he raised his hand and continued: "The minister is bold, I want to ask the emperor what are the arrangements for this year's tax grain?"

” Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he muttered to himself in his heart, 'Is this here to surrender to sincerity, or to ask about politics?'

’ He didn't speak, and turned his head to look at King Ping.

King Ping hurriedly sat up with a smile and said, "Listen to the play, listen to the play, let's listen to the play today, Lord Zuo, sit down, sit down." ” Zuo Guangdou was very reluctant in his heart, the imperial court had so much tax grain, and there were many places where it could be used.

But he knew that judging from the arrangement of the household department, it was not, and most of them seemed to be left to the mold, and there was no arrangement at all.

But he also knew that this occasion was not appropriate, so he sat back.

Ye Xianggao was also thoughtful and did not make a sound.

When they entered Beijing this time, they knew that the new dynasty had a new world under the 'nonsense' of the little emperor.

They must protect this hard-won new situation, and they must not let the emperor 'act recklessly' and waste it.

Today's 'listening to the play' is to alleviate the little emperor's 'prejudice' against their Donglin Party through King Ping.

Zhang Weixian also spoke up, and said with a round smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that this little song is very beautiful, and with special musical instruments, it is very unforgettable." ” Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, looking at the stage.

A middle-aged man, slightly fat, walked out slowly, followed by a little girl less than ten years old, and several people sat down holding musical instruments.

They first bowed to Zhu Xu and the others, and then began to perform.

Like the tinkling sound of spring water, the man's singing voice is high-pitched and loud, with indescribable magnetism, and the little girl's voice is soft, low and tactful, and the two cooperate with each other, which is very good.

Zhu Xu had never heard this kind of tune, so he couldn't help but be interested, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his hand clapping his thigh, and listening carefully.

This kind of song has never been long, and after repeating four stanzas, it ended, and the people who performed bowed down again and left the stage one after another.

King Ping had been quietly looking at Zhu Xu, and seeing that he was happy to listen, he took the opportunity to smile and said, "Your Majesty, there are still some people in the Governor's Yuan, and the ministers want to ......."

Zhu Xu couldn't hear what he meant, glanced at Ye Xianggao, and said, "Uncle Huang decided, I don't care." ” When King Ping heard this, his face immediately bloomed with joy, and he smiled, "Well, the minister has decided." ” Ye Xianggao listened with his ears pricked up, and breathed a sigh of relief, they were worried that the emperor would not let go, otherwise they could only go back to the house again.

As soon as they breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Xu thought that he would have to beat it again, and after a turn of thought, he said lightly, "**Xing, where did Gao Panlong and the others go?"

” **Xing and others, after Zhu Xu was released, he was thrown into the Governor's Yuan, and later went to Nan/Beijing to reorganize, because Wei Zhongxian was reinstated, but he disappeared without a trace, and Zhu Xu almost forgot about these people King Ping pursed his lips, looked at Zhu Xu and hesitated: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao and the others are unwell......

"Not feeling well?"

Zhu Xu sat upright, interrupted his words, and said coldly: "Can I really tolerate them being so presumptuous all the time?"

Uncle Huang, pass on my will, ** Xing, Gao Panlong, Li Qiyuan and others cut their books, confiscated all family property, and the three generations will not be renewed!

” Not only King Ping, Zhang Weixian, Ye Xianggao and others were all shocked, this punishment is not heavy, I am afraid that it is better to kill them.

King Ping raised his hand and said with a somewhat stiff expression: "Your Majesty, this will ......"

King Ping didn't finish speaking, Zhu Xu's cold eyes looked over, his neck was cold, and he bowed down and said, "Obey." ” Ye Xianggao and others have not yet risen to be happy, and with the ** star and others being disposed of, they are not happy at all.

However, this scene still has to be listened to, Zhu Xu listens to it freely, and the others are like sitting on wax, but they also have to bite the bullet and accompany Zhu Xu to listen to it.

After a full hour, Zhu Xu left the Pingwang Mansion in the enthusiastic retention of King Ping.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the already white avenue, he exhaled lightly, his eyes flashed coldly.

The current imperial court is a fragrant bait, a big cake, even Ye Xianggao and others can't help it, and next, there should be more people jumping out and entering the imperial court, wanting to get a share.

Zhu Xu thought about how to break those claws, and immediately thought of what Zuo Guangdou had just said.

He let so much grain lie on the account book to sleep, presumably not only the Donglin Party can't help it, but Wen Zhaoge's side also has to have an explanation.

This year's tax grain is half more than last year, plus a large piece of the sect can be saved, and with the sweet potato offset, at least nearly 20 million stones can be saved, which is a shocking and extremely heartwarming figure!

Zhu Xu's heart was also churning, but he was more sober, even if there was so much grain in reserve in the next two years, it would still be difficult to resist the drought of more than ten years, and millions of mouths were waiting to be fed.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and said to himself, "It seems that we still have to find a reasonable reason to make these grains 'disappear' ...... first."

Before Zhu Xu could think of a way, he had already returned to the palace.

Cao Huachun stood under the carriage, tilted his head and said, "Your Majesty, are you going back to Jingyang Palace or going to Qianqing Palace?"

” Zhu Xu looked at the sky, got off the carriage, and said, "Let's go to Cining Palace, I said I would go to dinner today." ” Cao Huachun responded and hurriedly arranged.

Zhu Xu braved the snow and walked all the way to Cining Palace, in front of the gate of Cining Palace, took off his cloak, stomped his feet, and walked inside.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Xiao Yongning holding a stool in his hand, smiling and giggling around.

She is also more than a year old and can walk simply.

When Gong E, who was guarding on the side, saw Zhu Xu, she hurriedly bent over and saluted, "I've seen the emperor." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and walked in with a smile.

As soon as Xiao Yongning saw Zhu Xu, he shouted 'Uncle Huang', and opened his arms to run over.

Zhu Xu walked a few steps quickly, hugged the little guy who was dressed like a zongzi, rubbed her little face, and laughed loudly: "Do you miss Uncle Huang......?"

The little guy pushed Zhu Xu's face clumsily with his little hand, and said with a smile: "I want to ......

Want to ......"

Empress Dowager Zhang walked out of it, her face was pale, she kept coughing, and gasped: "Okay, don't make trouble, sit down and prepare for dinner." ” Zhu Xu smiled, sat down on the stool, stood on his lap with Xiao Yongning in his arms, teasing, the little guy was also happy, stretching out his little hand to grab Zhu Xu's nose.

The uncle and nephew are very happy.
