My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 80 The biggest tax tax (last order)

Zhu Di didn't care about the way of business. The prince of a country's clan was openly kidnapped in Yingtian City. It's been almost four days without any news.

If it's a small matter, it's no big deal.

He separated the two unlucky sons and rushed in.

"Seventeenth brother, seventeenth brother, how are you? Don't scare fourth brother?"

Zhu Di shook desperately, but Zhu Quan just didn't respond, lying on the bed, almost dead.Zhu Di was furious, and turned his head to stare at the two bastards, "Tell me, what did you do to King Ning?"

Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "It's nothing, he's just too tired and needs to sleep for a while."

Zhu Gaosui also added, "That's right, Royal Father, it's really all right for you to hear how loud Uncle Seventeen is snoring."

Zhu Di looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said viciously to the two sons: "Come with me!"

Zhu Di wants to interrogate the two of them, and ask carefully, what happened in the past four days, and Zhu Di is very curious, just after King Ning was taken away, someone delivered a letter, and then Princess Ning ran to the palace to find Empress Xu crying .

Afterwards Jin Yiwei dispatched, Ying Tianfu sent troops, and the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion also came out... The big guy was digging three feet in the capital to search, but he couldn't find a big living person.

If you can kidnap the prince today, you can kidnap the emperor tomorrow, what you will do the day after tomorrow, I can't even think about it!

Zhu Di was full of anger, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a bell, melodious and melodious, and even the anger that sprang up was reduced by three points.

"What kind of monastery is that?" Zhu Di pointed to his eyes.

The guards looked at it and replied: "That is Qingshou Temple, Master Yao is here."

"Master Yao?"

Only then did Zhu Di see a clue, this small courtyard was actually next to Qingshou Temple, only separated by a wall.

King Ning was lost, and everyone searched all over the world, but they couldn't find it.

At this moment, the big guy finally understood that it was hidden under the nose of Young Master Yao.

Among the people not to be messed with in the capital, Yao Guangxiao's ranking may not be number one, but he is definitely above Xu Jingchang.There is no need to say more about the horror of the old monk.

No one dared to come to Yao Guangxiao's place to play wild, and no one would have imagined that King Ning would be hidden next to Qingshou Temple...

Zhu Di frowned, looked at the two bastard sons, and gradually got an idea in his heart.

"Qiu Fu, go and invite Young Master Yao over."

Just as Qiu Fu was about to leave, Zhu Di asked again: "If there are others, bring them along."

Qiu Fu was puzzled, what is someone else?
Does the young monk in the temple also count?

He was skeptical, but when he arrived at Qingshou Temple, he immediately understood that in the meditation hall, a young man was playing chess with Yao Guangxiao, and he also complained that the fast food at Qingshou Temple was not good.

May I ask who has such a big face?
Needless to say, of course he is playing gongs in ten places and nine places. He is the source of right and wrong in the Ming Dynasty, standing on the cusp of the storm, holding on tightly to the nightmare of hundreds of officials revolving around the sun and the moon—the great envoy, His Excellency Xu Jingchang.

"Young Master Yao, Xu Tongzheng, Your Majesty welcomes you!"

The old fox looked at the little fox, "Let's go, don't keep His Majesty waiting."

When they appeared in the courtyard one after the other, the truth came out and there was no need to say anything.

Zhu Dixin said that even if the two bastards were given a hundred courage, they would not dare to kidnap Zhu Quan casually.

And even if it was kidnapped, it couldn't be done seamlessly.

But with these two more, it's hard to say.

"Young master, the seventeenth brother was tortured terribly by them. He is in a coma and can't even wake up."

Zhu Di spoke reproachfully, Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Jingchang, and sighed meaningfully, "Your Majesty, wait for King Ning to wake up before confronting him face to face."

Just like that, after a while, King Ning Zhu Quan was finally woken up, but he was unkempt, haggard, his eyes were still red, and he was dumbfounded.

Just seeing Zhu Di, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurried over.

"Fourth Brother, Your Majesty! Help!"

Zhu Quan cried loudly, pouring out all the grievances and bitterness in his stomach, talking endlessly, full of hatred... "Fourth brother, younger brother is honest, staying in Yingtian, drinking tea and chatting, and they are all He broke in and kidnapped me. This is the second time this little brother has encountered such a thing in his life, fourth brother, little brother is suffering!"

Zhu Di's face turned dark, because it was himself who did this for the first time.

Back then he held Zhu Quan hostage and abducted Duoyan Sanwei, only then did Jing Nan succeed.

Now it's good, scored twice, followed the same pattern, and let the two sons learn again.

"Seventeenth brother, don't cry. I will make the decision for you and vent my anger for you."

When Zhu Quan heard it, he cried even louder, "Fourth brother, my younger brother followed fourth brother Jing Nan, willingly. Fourth brother took away my soldiers and horses, and my younger brother was ecstatic. Fourth brother disagreed with my younger brother's return to Daning, and my younger brother has nothing to do." Complaints, the fourth brother will not let the younger brother change a fiefdom, and the younger brother is willing to serve the elder brother... In short, the elder brother is like a father, and the younger brother can do whatever he asks. But how can the father treat the younger brother like this? The younger brother asked them to arrest him , locked in this courtyard, for three or four days, I was not allowed to sleep, repeated over and over again, my little brother was in so much pain that he wished he could die immediately!"

Although Zhu Quan obeyed his elder brother in every sentence, every word he said was full of complaints... and he hit the pain point directly. Without his soldiers and horses, there would be no Emperor Yongle today.

But Zhu Di didn't allow them to return to the Daning fiefdom, nor did they change places.As for the equal share of the world promised at the beginning, let alone.

It's all right now, even his two nephews dared to kidnap and torture him.

Zhu Quan is full of grievances, even if I fight to the death, I will seek justice.

"Huang Kao, you left too early. My child has been wronged and bullied. I have no place to talk about it. I'm going to Xiaoling, and cry a lot!"

Zhu Di was furious and could no longer hold back, "You two come here!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had to take two steps forward, Zhu Di angrily shouted: "Kneel down!"

The two boys knelt down obediently.

Zhu Di shouted: "I and your Seventeenth Uncle are the closest, just like one person. You don't respect Seventeenth Uncle, but you don't put me in your eyes! Damn, hate!"

"I ask you why you kidnapped Uncle Seventeen. You must tell me clearly, otherwise I would rather kill you two than vent your anger on Uncle Seventeen!"

Zhu Gaoxu was still calm, but Zhu Gaosui was really scared.

He felt aggrieved and said, "Father, it really has nothing to do with the child. I just found out that Uncle Seventeen was distributing Hanwang loans in private under the name of Second Brother. He opened five shops, and his uncle pretended to be his nephew. It's an anecdote. I only dared to tell my second brother."

Zhu Di frowned deeply. It was too much to be his uncle's fake nephew.

"Zhu Gaoxu, what do you say?"

Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "Returning to the words of the father, this matter is true. The boy also respects Uncle Seventeen and doesn't want to do anything to him, let alone go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to file a lawsuit. That's why he was invited here. Let's have a good chat and settle the matter. Just to be clear. Who knew that it would drag on for three or four days, making the father anxious, and the child is guilty."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was speechless... "Seventeenth brother, it's really as they said, how many shops have you opened, and are you also lending money?"

Zhu Quan wanted to deny it, but Zhu Gaoxu had a statement in black and white, so there was no room for him not to admit it.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother has indeed done some business. It's just that my younger brother lives in the capital, and the expenses are too high, so I can't just sit and eat. Therefore, I started a small business to supplement the family. Even if there are some inappropriate things, you can tell them. You don’t have to go too far, it’s just too deceitful. As a descendant of the Tian family and the clan of the Ming Dynasty, you can’t even tolerate a little bit of money matters. I really can’t figure it out. Please let your majesty make the decision for your younger brother!”

Zhu Di sighed deeply, this matter is indeed difficult to handle, the two bastards are going too far, but Zhu Quan is not honest in his work... "Master Yao, Xu Jingchang, you are both here, let me judge."

Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly, "The veteran doesn't know, let Xu Tongzheng come."

Xu Jingchang had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I was chatting with Master Yao. I heard from him that when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu what was the greatest in the world, Zhao Pu didn't immediately answer that the Son of Heaven is the greatest. Instead, he said that he went back and thought about it. , is the most reasonable."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "As expected of a virtuous prime minister who can tell half of the Analects of Confucius to govern the world, what he said is very good, even the emperor has to be reasonable. But now they all have their own reasons, which one is more reasonable, you can decide Know?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "The public says that the public is right and the wife says that the old woman is reasonable. The so-called upright officials can hardly decide on family affairs, and I have no ability to say who is right... But I feel that there are things in this world that are greater than reason."

"Oh?" Zhu Di was startled, and suddenly laughed, "Xu Jingchang, your words are even louder. You want to overthrow Zhao Pu's conclusion!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I don't dare, I just think that setting up a pot can cook meat and rice, but it can't cook reason. So the biggest thing in the world is not reason, but finance! Without money, it is difficult to move an inch!"

Zhu Di's face changed again and again, and he looked at Yao Guangxiao again, "Master, what do you think?"

Yao Guangxiao sighed, "Buddhism also needs incense and fire to worship. It can be seen that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are inseparable from the word money."

Zhu Di was silent again and again, finally nodded and said: "I understand, all kinds of things can be summed up in one word: money!"

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Zhu Quan, with a cold look in his eyes, Zhu Quan couldn't help shivering.

"Your Majesty, Jianwen harmed the clan, and the world is in chaos. Brother Huang said, treat the clan well!"

Zhu Di took a deep breath, "I have said this before, but you heard it. In this Ming Dynasty, I am not the biggest. Finance and taxation are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. You pretended to be the King of Han, lending money privately, and did not report to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Prepare, corrupt banknote laws, evade taxes... I want to protect you, but I can't do anything. But don't worry, you only need to pay a fine for this kind of crime, and it won't kill you."

Ning Wang Zhu Quan burst into tears, he had no money, and it was almost like killing him.

Suddenly he realized something, "Your Majesty, my brother is willing to pay the fine. Can you spread the word to my brother like the good nephew of the King of Han, and let my brother lend money in the future, and I promise to do better than the King of Han. Please, Your Majesty." Grace!"

Good guy, this guy still wants to be the second King of Han, I have to say, his heart is really big.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression also changed, okay, it's fine if you pretend to be my name, how dare you steal my business?
Zhu Di also hesitated, can it work?

At this time Xu Jingchang smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, some things, if they happen once, can alert the world, and if they happen twice, they will make people laugh."

Zhu Gaosui also stood up, "Father, the minister's residence newspaper has already tried his best to promote the second brother. If you want to repeat it, I am afraid that even the second brother will be implicated and shake the confidence of the people."

Zhu Di looked dignified, and said slowly: "Decree, send King Ning to the Ministry of Punishment!"

The guards dragged King Ning down, and Zhu Di added: "Pass the decree to all the officials and tell them what I mean. All yamen must take action to strictly investigate tax evasion, and there will be no mercy."
