Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 417 Fourth, are you doing something without telling us?
Zhu Yunxi is indeed not afraid, and Gao Ming also knows that Zhu Yunxi is not afraid, but he is afraid as a master.

Before the old emperor died, the grandson of the emperor forced Uncle Wang to drink poisoned wine. Even if the old emperor liked this grandson, he had to be deposed!
"Your Highness, calm down!"

"Your Highness, just wait for a few years, and it won't be too late to punish King Yan after His Majesty has lived for a hundred years!"

Zhu Yunxi said with a broken heart.

"Will you just watch the people in Shandong and Beiping being tortured like this?"

"You can watch it, but Gu can't!"

When Gao Ming heard this, he suddenly recalled, this grandson could be playing me, right?
When Chang Sheng committed a crime before, he made this grandson as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and even Zhou Tiezui and others were picked out by him for debate.

Now that people have starved to death because of the disaster in Shandong, can they kill their fourth uncle?
Although Gao Ming felt something was wrong in his heart, he didn't dare to gamble, for fear that the grandson of the emperor would get mad and really do something to annoy the old emperor.

"Your Highness, even if you are not thinking of yourself, you should think of the common people in the world!"

"In the whole world, only when you become the emperor can the people of the world live a good life!"

"You can bear it...for a few more years..."

"Good boy!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly made a fuss, making the little old man Gao Ming almost become a mother who coaxes the children.

"What now?"

"Could it be possible for Gu to pretend not to know and continue to let King Yan and King Lu continue to harm the people?"

"This is..."

Gao Ming's eyeballs rolled around, his beard was twisted off a lot, and he managed to hold back a bad fart.

"The death penalty is exempt, but the living crime cannot escape."

"His Royal Highness can start by reducing the Yan King's guards, and then in the name of the young son of King Lu, send a capable official to the Lu Palace to help the Lu Palace clean up the evil stewards and servants!"

Gao Ming's words are really not an excuse for Lu Wangfu. Lu Wang Zhu Tan Hongwu died in 23 years, leaving only a three-year-old son Zhu Zhaohui. Even now Zhu Zhaohui is only six years old, and he has not been weaned for a few years. Where did he come from? Ability to do bad things?

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang's filial piety to the Lu Palace must have gone into the management of the Lu Palace, or the pockets of several princesses.

Gao Ming suggested that Zhu Yunxi send an official to Lu Wangfu, just to deal with those concubines, stewards, and the concubine's family and relatives.

As long as these people are restrained, most of the affairs of Prince Lu's Mansion will be resolved.

"Is that so..."

Zhu Yunxi pondered for a while and said.

"All right!"

"Just as Master Gao said, spare their lives for the time being!"

The two finalized the matter of renovating Yanwang Mansion and Lu Wangfu, and discussed again about disaster relief.

Because the food was burned by that scum of Chen Zhi, even if Zhu Yunxue wanted to provide disaster relief, he would be a clever woman who couldn't cook without rice.

"Master Gao, is there any way to make people willing to spend money and food?"

As soon as Gao Ming heard this, he knew what the emperor grandson meant.

"Your Highness, Wei Chen said before that there is no shortage of food in Shandong. Even if there is a shortage of food, there are definitely a few places that are not short of food."

"First, Prince Lu's Mansion!"

"Secondly, Prince Qi's Mansion!"

"Third, Yanshenggong Mansion!"

"Fourth, the homes of country gentry from all over the world!"

"Your Highness, as long as the first three are asked to contribute money and food, the affairs of the gentry everywhere will naturally be resolved."

"It's just that His Highness has to figure out how to get them to pay for the money and the food. I don't dare to talk too much, hehehe..."

Zhu Yunxi glared at the old man when he heard the words, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Who told his grandpa to write in Huang Ming's ancestral precepts, and those who separate the flesh and blood of the Tian family will be beheaded!

If Gao Ming gives him a trick to plot against Lu Wangfu and Qi Wangfu, it will be regarded as alienating the flesh and blood of the Tian family.

It's just that there is no better way for Zhu Yunxi to make them obediently pay.

When Zhu Yunxi was frowning, he suddenly saw Wang De, who was drunk, walking in from the outside.

Zhu Yunxi was a little dissatisfied on the spot, Wang De was just a eunuch beside him, and he was more popular than himself.

Every day someone invites this guy to dinner, why no one invites me to dinner!
"Wang De!"

"You are so brave!"

Hearing Zhu Yunxie's stern reprimand suddenly, Wang De was so frightened that he woke up halfway from his drunkenness, and knelt down to Zhu Yunxie with a plop.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

"Wang De!"

"I ask you, which of us is the master and who is the servant!"

"If you see the sky and see no one, do you have to let Gu come to serve you?"

"I... no no no... slave... slave deserves to die, slave deserves death!"

When Wang De said this, he slapped his own mouth, and his cheeks were swollen within a few strokes.

"My servant will never go out to drink again... I will never go to meet people again, please Your Highness forgive me this time, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Zhu Yunxi wasn't angry at first, but just a little depressed.Seeing that Wang De's face was swollen from the beating, he immediately waved to him.

"Go back and rest, Gu Ye is waiting for you to take a bath!"

"Your Highness, you are going to kill the servant, how dare the servant let you serve..."

"The servant girl is going to wash off the smell of alcohol, and then come to serve you..."

Seeing Wang De scrambling away, Erhu said in a dark voice.

"Your Highness, even if you don't teach him a lesson, the humble official wants to speak to you."

"You shouldn't have taken him with you when you went out this time, your reputation will almost be ruined by him!"

"This guy goes out to drink like crazy, and he also accepts filial piety from local officials. Although he dare not accept big money, he never cuts off small money."

"This one is dozens of taels, that one is hundreds of taels..."

"In just a few days, have you collected at least a few thousand taels of silver?"

At the end of Erhu's speech, he added viciously.

"Anyway, according to the emperor's rules, this guy is enough to fill in the grass!"

Erhu has long been displeased with Wang De, he also came out on business, and he was as tired as his grandson every day, that guy eats hot food and drinks spicy food every day, and there are officials fawning on him everywhere!

After hearing Erhu's complaint, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but have a question.

"Erhu, why do you think Wang De is so attractive?"

Erhu was at a loss for words when he heard the words, and he spoke after a while.

"Because he's cheap?"

"cheap?"

"Correct!"

"It's cheap!"

……

After washing off the smell of alcohol on his body, Wang De ran to Zhu Yunxie's side to serve him carefully.

From time to time, he added tea and water to Zhu Yunxi, and when he saw that the ink in the inkstone was almost dry, he hurriedly rubbed the ink for him.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Wang De who couldn't keep busy, and Erhu's slander appeared again in his mind.

Is Wang De really cheap?

Maybe his cheapness is just a bit cheap compared to himself and Erhu, but it is an approachable cheapness.

His status is too high, let's talk about Jinan Prefecture, even in the whole Shandong Province, there are not many people who can talk to him.

Therefore, it is understandable that the officials below are afraid of themselves and dare not invite themselves.

The two tigers are close ministers of the emperor and the ancestors of Jin Yiwei. The officials of the world avoid them for fear of not being able to catch up, so how can they take the initiative to join them?

Relatively speaking, Wang De is the best contact.

With a humble status, he is just a eunuch who is a little greedy for money.But he was always by the side of the emperor's grandson, and he was able to inquire about many secrets and news, and he also knew about the emperor's grandson's hobbies.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi looked at Wang De differently, as if a big bad wolf was looking at a big mouse.

"Wang De, can I tell you something?"

After Wang De had just been beaten by Zhu Yunxie, he was extremely well-behaved.

"Your Majesty, please give orders if you have something to do, slaves and servants will go through fire and water without hesitation..."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I just want you to play a traitor in your true colors!"

"What?"

……

A day later, Wang De became active again. He not only ate and drank frequently with the officials of Jinan Mansion, but also reached out to Lu Wang Mansion, Qi Wang Mansion, and Yan Shenggong Mansion.

"Wang Gonggong, I heard that His Highness is going to draft girls in Shandong?"

Wang De pinched the duck's throat and said.

"There is such a thing!"

"However, I only told a few people close to me that we, the servants, were allowed to search secretly, and we didn't plan to do it with a big fanfare. How did you know?"

"Back to the prince, we are also hearsay..."

"By the way, Eunuch Wang, I don't know how many beautiful girls His Highness plans to choose. Can the lower officials help me?"

"Help..."

"When our family left the palace, Concubine Hui once told our family to let the palace choose some more maids..."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

They are worried about how to flatter the palace, isn't this the right time for them?
"Dare to ask the prince, how many maids are there in the palace?"

Wang De pinched his fingers and said.

"The Xiaoling Mausoleum costs [-] yuan, the palace costs [-] yuan, the palace at Xuanwu Lake costs [-] yuan, and the princes' mansions cost [-] yuan..."

"Just prepare for 10 people!"

"what?"

This time it was the turn of the officials present to be dumbfounded. How many people are there in total in Shandong? Where can they find [-] young girls?
"Wang Gonggong, this is too much, isn't it?"

"not much!"

"If you can't do it, our family will go to other places to buy it. When the time comes, Concubine Taisun will be from another place, and you Shandong officials just don't be jealous!"

As soon as Wang De's words came out, everyone's hearts became eager again.

This is the grandson concubine, the future will be Empress Daming!
If there is a queen in Shandong, wouldn't these Shandong officials be able to get rich?
"Please don't worry, Wang Gonggong, even if I wait to sell the iron, I have to get enough of these 10 people for the emperor's grandson!"

What Wang De wanted was their words.

"it is good!"

"If you do things with all your heart, our family will definitely speak well for you in front of His Highness and Concubine Hui!"

"But there is one thing you have to remember. Your Highness is a man of good manners, and he doesn't want to disturb the people. If you dare to plunder and plunder and cause anger and resentment, don't blame Jin Yiwei for being ruthless!"

"Please rest assured, Wang Gonggong, I will know what to do!"

Wang De let out the wind in Jinan Mansion, and then went to Lu Wang Mansion, Qi Wang Mansion, and Yansheng Gong Mansion in the name of preaching the decree.

The content of the imperial decree was very simple. It was to reprimand them in the tone of the emperor's grandson, saying that they resold grain, traded with outsiders without permission, and violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to this decree, Princess Lu Ge Shi was completely frightened.

She just listened to her natal brother's advice and sold the inexhaustible food in King Lu's mansion. How could she sell it outside the customs and violate the law of the Ming Dynasty?
If this action arouses His Majesty's dissatisfaction and condemns them, Ge Shi, they will die without a place to bury them.

Therefore, after Wang De delivered the decree, Princess Lu warmly entertained Wang De.

Not only did he give Wang De a large ingot of gold, but he also expressed the intention of asking for help inside and outside the words.

Wang De silently put the gold in his sleeve and said with a smile.

"Princess Ge, don't worry!"

"My Highness hasn't reported this matter to His Majesty yet, as long as the empress cooperates, this servant will help you settle this matter..."

"what's up?"

"Lady!"

Under Wang De's vigorous advocacy, the emperor's grandson's reputation as a ghost spread like wildfire, and the prices of young women also rose.

Originally, one bag of millet could exchange a girl, but now it has grown to three bags!
The grass market outside the city of Jinan Prefecture.

Zhu Yunxi, dressed in plain and elegant casual clothes, wandered around the grass market accompanied by Erhu and Gao Ming.

The so-called grass market is not a place to sell grass, but the largest population trading market in Jinan Prefecture.

Zhu Yunxi only walked for a while, and saw three human tragedies in which his wife and children were separated.

Gao Ming looked indifferent, or he was used to this kind of thing long ago.

After all, for someone like him who experienced the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the current population trading is considered a prosperous time.

Because in the real troubled times, human life is cheaper than grass!
"Your Highness benevolent!"

"His Highness does not hesitate to destroy his reputation, but it has benefited countless people!"

Hearing Gao Ming's praise, Zhu Yunxi only felt a fever on his face.

Although the current human trafficking is just a stopgap measure, as soon as the food he brought from the south arrives, he intends to forcibly ban the human trafficking, and everyone will go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

But the crying in front of him, the sound of calling children and calling daughters, still shocked him greatly.

"Master Gao, don't embarrass me, I..."

Gao Ming interrupted Zhu Yunxi's words.

"Your Highness, don't underestimate yourself, your actions are indeed the most benevolent!"

"If it weren't for your efforts to destroy your reputation, I don't know how many women in Shandong will be sold to the land of fireworks, and I don't know how many women will be eaten as rations..."

"You are not doing a good deed, what is a good deed?"

"Furthermore, they are only temporarily separated from their families. When His Highness's food arrives, they will naturally be put back..."

This is the bad idea that Zhu Yunxi came up with, in the name of wanting to be drafted, let the local governments desperately collect beauties.

Because these women were dedicated to the palace, no one dared to touch them or bully them.

No one can guarantee that any woman will become famous in the future and will come back to revenge them.

Therefore, apart from being a little sad when she parted with her family, her basic necessities of life are pretty good.

Squires from all over the country were also apportioned by officials at all levels, and each family had to support ten to hundreds of them.

The drought that has plagued Shandong has unexpectedly entered a stable period under the tide of the draft...

It is even more effective than the orders issued by Zhu Yunxi through formal announcements.

Let the country gentry donate money and things, no one will donate, let them donate to the palace, and those who are active don't need to be whipped. They are in a hurry, and they are afraid that the dead eunuch Wang De will not like it.

After Wang De let out the wind, he did one thing every day, traveling around to see beauties!

Zhu Yunxi wandered around the grass market, seeing that the business was fairly fair, he sighed faintly.

"Fortunately!"

"Finally, people won't starve to death!"

Gao Ming agreed after hearing the words.

"Yes!"

"It is the act of a saint not to starve to death in a year of catastrophe!"

"It's just a pity for His Highness's statement. I don't know how the officials in the capital will talk about you..."

All the officials in the capital were really in trouble, especially the king of Zhou, Zhu Wei, had a lot of trouble.

On this day, he even called a few vassal princes to enter the palace together to make things difficult for the old man.

After King Jin was seriously ill and King Qin fell out of favor, Zhu Huan's mind suddenly became active.

Reminiscent of the fact that the old man asked him to sit in the first row last year, it gave him a sense of "ownership".

Relatively speaking, Zhu Di is much more low-key.

Ever since Zhu Yunxi went to Shandong for disaster relief, Zhu Di spent every day in fear, for fear that his eldest nephew would find out about his illegal activities.

Smuggling in Daming was a felony. Princess Anqing's husband-in-law, Ouyang Lun, was chopped off by the old man because of his selfish trade with outsiders.

If the old man finds out about this, even if he doesn't cut himself off, he will definitely punish himself severely.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Huan's boastful talk below, and his mind had already flown to the land of Shandong.

He was also very curious, why did Ni Sun make such a big fuss.

Isn't it just for disaster relief, why did you come up with a draft, and even rumors that there were [-] draft drafts?

When old Zhu was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a secret performance from Jin Yiwei outside the door.

"pass!"

"promise!"

Not long after, a Jinyiwei secret music appeared in Lao Zhu's hands. The moment Lao Zhu opened the secret music, the whole hall fell into silence.

Zhu Su also stopped making noise, and looked at Lao Zhu with burning eyes, trying to guess the content of the melody from the expression on his face.

Zhu Di also looked at Lao Zhu apprehensively, but at this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly looked at him, with a trace of cold search flashing in his eyes.

"Fourth!"

"Did you hide something from us?"

　We, Zhu Yuanzhang, would like to wish everyone a happy new year, all the best, family reunion, good luck, chicken tonight, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, soaring thousands of miles, la la la!
