Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Emperor Yongle's face instantly darkened.

"Lu Yuan, please elaborate."

"How can this Liaocheng County magistrate be so corrupt and pervert the law that he loses his conscience?"

"Since grandpa asked me to talk, I will tell everyone."

Lu Yuan pretended to be furious and filled with righteous indignation.

"This Liaocheng County Magistrate lied that the local area has been suffering from drought for many years."

"In fact, he used an extremely cruel method."

"It deliberately kept Liaocheng from raining for half a year. All the crops died due to drought and there was no harvest."

Lu Yuan did not say anything about the god's shame.

He was worried that if this matter were made public, it would disturb Xiling's peace.

"Why did he do this?" Emperor Yongle asked with a frown.

"Of course it's to defraud the government of the disaster relief food funds."

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I saw with my own eyes that there are millions of stones of grain stored in the Liaocheng County Government's granary."

"Most of them have been covered up until they become moldy and rotten."

"But the Liaocheng County Magistrate would rather the food rot in his own warehouse."

"I don't want to spend even a tenth of it to help the people."

"They don't even want to give out the grain seeds."

As soon as these words came out, anger instantly rose up and down the court.

"As a local official, you can be such a beast?"

"This dog officer deserves to be killed!"

Grain seeds are the lifeblood of farmers.

At the same time, it is also the foundation of the previous dynasties.

Without grain seeds, farmers cannot grow food.

If you can't grow food, what can you use to pay the court's taxes?
"There's no reason..."

Emperor Yongle's face was gloomy, and he was full of murderous intent.

“This Liaocheng County Magistrate is really a coward!”

"Lu Yuan, you killed well."

"Such a corrupt official, even if you don't kill him, I will never forgive him lightly!"

"Your Majesty, I'll see you soon."

Lu Yuan said angrily, "The Liaocheng County Magistrate is more than that..."

"After I arrived in Liaocheng, I investigated the hidden causes of the drought openly and secretly."

"The county magistrate of Liaocheng was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he put sweat medicine in our meals every night."

"And after I discovered this conspiracy, I deliberately left the dinner untouched and quietly left at night."

"The county magistrate of Liaocheng actually set fire to the guest house with the intention of killing people and silencing them, destroying the corpses and destroying all traces."

"If I hadn't foreseen it in advance, I would have made arrangements."

"I'm afraid, I will be burned alive by that beast on the bed in the guest house!"

The entire hall was completely silent.

Many ministers admired the courage of the Liaocheng County Magistrate.

Do you even dare to kill the prince?

Doesn't he know that the prince is the most favored son and grandson of the emperor today?

If the prince has something wrong with him in Liaocheng.

The emperor Bilongyan was furious and killed all the officers and soldiers in the county.

"Damn..."

He was almost burned to death when he heard about his great saintly grandson.

Emperor Yongle flushed with anger and gritted his teeth.

"The evil and corrupt official dared to murder my grandson!"

"If he is still alive, I will kill him with a thousand knives, and Ling Chi will vent my anger!"

The king of Han became even more angry and flew into a rage directly in front of the main hall.

"Son, why didn't you tell dad that you were so wronged?"

"Let's go back to Liaocheng now."

"Dig out that corrupt official and kill his body to vent his anger!"

"I have to chop them all off, young and old, all at once!"

"Fill the ant nests with boiling water for me, and shake the yellow eggs away!"

All the ministers were excited and filled with righteous indignation.

Only Li Guan's face was full of embarrassment, and he was too embarrassed to know what to do.

"Governor Li."

Lu Yuan slowly turned around and looked at Li Guan meaningfully.

"These are all things I saw and experienced in Liaocheng."

"Didn't your wife tell you?"

"I really don't know these things."

Li Guan gritted his teeth secretly, but pretended to apologize on the surface.

"According to what the Crown Prince said, this Liaocheng County Magistrate really deserves to be killed."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's the lower official who made the decision arbitrarily."

"It doesn't matter if you are arbitrary, but if you falsely accuse someone of innocence, you will die."

Lu Yuan's face was full of magnanimity, he smiled and waved his hand.

Then he turned to look at Emperor Yongle.

"Your Majesty, my grandson has three things that I would like to ask my grandfather to make the decision to agree to."

All the ministers couldn't help but chew the flower seeds.

Only the prince dared to say such words.

On ordinary days, who would dare to make requests to the emperor?
No matter how great his achievements are, it will not work.

Don't say three.

Even if it's one thing, it's all about asking for rewards, with evil intentions.

However, at this moment Lu Yuan opened his mouth to make a request.

However, Emperor Yongle's face was still full of joy, without any displeasure.

"Grandson, just say it."

"This time in Liaocheng County, you not only made great achievements, but also suffered injustice."

"Don't say three, even if it's ten, grandpa will still follow you."

The Crown Prince and King Zhao on the side were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

King Han suddenly looked proud and raised his chin slightly.

That expression seemed to say, See?
My son is so promising.

what?
The father takes advantage of the son's power?

so what!

You really want to fight, but it's a pity that you don't have such a good son.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. My grandson only needs three things."

Lu Yuan said seriously, "The first thing is."

"I beg the Emperor to reward Liaocheng and the thirteen surrounding counties for my grandson."

Upon hearing this request, Emperor Yongle's smile suddenly froze.

Does this grandson have a bit too much appetite?

At the beginning, he granted the land of Luxi to Lu Yuan.

It was because Lu Yuan boasted about Haikou in front of the ministers.

Within three years, I made sure that there would be no more famine in Liegan.

Although Lu Yuan did it.

He proved his strength by producing [-] kilograms of potatoes per acre.

However, that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.

Solved a county's drought problem.

I just want to bring over this county and a dozen surrounding counties.

If this precedent is set, is it okay?

In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Liegan Dynasty, which place has not suffered from natural disasters?
If you go to a place and perform meritorious service in disaster relief, you will directly ask for the fief when you turn around.

In three to five years, Liegan's territory of millions of territories will not be given away by him?
There is no way to do things like this.

"Lu Yuan, you're putting grandpa in a bit of trouble."

Emperor Yongle said calmly, "Fiefling land and granting towns is the supreme reward."

"You only managed the drought and executed a corrupt official."

"I'm afraid, it's not big enough, right?"

Lu Yuan could hear what Grandpa meant.

Your boy didn't make such a big contribution this time.

If you really want this land, come up with a valid reason.

Or like last time, make an explosive promise.

So that I can block the mouths of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason why my grandson wants the land of Liaocheng."

Lu Yuan's face was full of solemnity and he shouted loudly.

"Under the abuse of that corrupt official, the people of Liaocheng County fled with their entire families, leaving only ten houses and nine empty houses."

"Before I leave, I will issue an announcement in the name of the Crown Prince."

"It was decided to bring back all the refugees who were living abroad and take them to find a new way of life."

"Today's Liaocheng is full of people starving to death, and there are many wastes waiting to be revitalized. It may be difficult for ordinary officials to cope with it."

"If I were the emperor, I would like to grant this place to my grandson."

"My grandson promises that within one year, the people of Liaocheng will have food to eat, houses to live in, clothes to wear, and wives to live on."

"Let Liaocheng County's tax revenue return to the right track and contribute to Liegan's foundation."

Emperor Yongle thought for a moment and nodded.

Although this promise pales in comparison to the original vow to eradicate famine.

But, at least it's a reason.

"Okay, grandpa will follow you."

Emperor Yongle nodded and said calmly, "What about the second thing?" "The second thing is that my grandson wants to borrow a group of people from the imperial city."

Lu Yuan said seriously, "I plan to build some industries in Liaocheng and surrounding counties."

"And use these industries to create wealth and solve the employment problem of Liaocheng people."

"It's simple."

Emperor Yongle breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with the first condition, this condition is not a condition at all.

"All craftsmen in the imperial city are at your disposal."

"All expenses will be paid by the court."

"What about the third one?"

"The third thing..."

Lu Yuan quietly glanced at Li Guan beside him.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My grandson is bold and wants to ask the emperor to drive him on a tour to the south."

"Together with my grandson, we will travel to the land of two rivers."

As soon as this word comes out.

Emperor Yongle, the King of Han and others all looked puzzled.

As the lord of the world, how can the emperor act lightly?
So good, what are you doing all the way to Liangjiang?
Only Li Guan, the governor of Liangjiang, suddenly trembled.

His eyes were full of fear, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.

"It's okay to tour the south for a few days..."

Emperor Yongle frowned and asked, "But Yuan'er, can you tell grandpa the reason?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and had already thought of his words.

"My grandson's wife, Gu Qingwan, is from Liangjiang."

"His grandmother's death anniversary will be in a few days. She asked me to accompany her back to worship her ancestors."

Gu Shiqing, who was standing in front of the civil servants, twitched his lips.

He glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, and his old face was instantly darker than coal.

Their old Gu family has been from the Imperial City for generations.

My daughter, when did her hometown become Liangjiang?

This kid really comes right out of his mouth!
and also.

My own mother, Qingwan's grandmother.

Although he is over eighty years old, he is still alive and his body is very strong.

Want Lu Yuan to kill him with just one sentence?
If it weren't for the fact that this was above the court, all the officials would be present.

Gu Shiqing would definitely take off his boots directly.

Chasing Lu Yuan and beating up three streets.

"Oh?"

Emperor Yongle raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shiqing.

"Gu Aiqing, it turns out that your ancestral home is from Liangjiang?"

"Why have you never told me?"

"minister……"

Gu Shiqing was covered in cold sweat and a little at a loss.

Lu Yuan on the side winked at him desperately.

His face was full of sincere pleading, and he kept blinking his eyes.

Gu Shiqing's intestines turned green with regret.

I regretted my daughter's marriage to Lu Yuan again.

Then he nodded helplessly as if accepting his fate.

"Yes, I am originally from Liangjiang and have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for generations."

"It's just that Your Majesty never asked, and I never said anything."

Lu Yuan was afraid that Gu Shiqing would not lie and would expose the truth if he continued talking.

He quickly took his words and continued.

"My grandson has long heard that the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are picturesque and poetic."

"That's why I boldly invite you. I want to ask your Majesty to show my favor and go with you."

"After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, we can take a small boat and cruise the Qinhuai River at night."

"Wouldn't it be happy to recite poems and compose poems, watch the moon and drink wine?"

"Hmm... It's really fun."

Emperor Yongle touched his chin, smiled and nodded.

"Governor of Liangjiang, where is Li Guan?"

Li Guan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'm here."

"I hope you return to Liangjiang overnight and be ready to pick up the driver."

"I will leave tomorrow morning and arrive in a few days."

"Yes."

Li Guan nodded in agreement, turned around and left uneasily.

Seeing the situation, Lu Yuan was secretly disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to take the emperor for a private visit incognito and head to Liangjiang quietly.

Carry out a surprise attack and catch those corrupt officials off guard.

But the emperor was used to making pomp and show, so he asked Li Guan to go back and prepare.

In this way, those corrupt officials will definitely make preparations in advance and hide their flaws.

It seems that they want to find evidence of these people's crimes.

You still have to dig a little deeper.

In the small Jiangnan Province, we dig and dig.

Dig out the corrupt officials and kill them all.

"Gu Aiqing, since Liangjiang is your hometown, you can accompany me on this trip."

"The prince makes the final decision on all matters in the court."

"If there is any urgent military situation, send Qingcang Guards to deliver the message."

"Yuan'er, you should also go back and prepare yourself."

"That's it, retreat."

Emperor Yongle entrusted him briefly, then turned and left happily.

As excited as a child who is about to organize a spring outing at school.

This is the first time I have gone on a tour with my grandson.

Based on Emperor Yongle's understanding of Lu Yuan.

This trip must be interesting.

……

After going down.

The kings of Han and Zhao went to the Prince's Mansion.

Discuss with the prince how to arrange matters in the imperial city during the emperor's absence these days.

Lu Yuan was in a good mood and was ready to go home and have a drink.

A cold and stern cry came from behind.

"stop!"

Lu Yuan stopped and turned around.

He looked at Gu Shiqing, who was walking towards him with a dark face.

Showing a harmless smile.

"Master-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Oh, of course."

The corners of Gu Shiqing's mouth twitched and he said, "If nothing happens to me again, even my old roots will be dug up by you to Liangjiang."

"Say."

"Why did you deceive the Emperor to Liangjiang?"

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you, my father-in-law."

Lu Yuan said with a playful smile, "It's not convenient to talk here."

"If your father-in-law has time, why don't you go back to your home with your son-in-law?"

"it is good!"

Gu Shiqing gritted his teeth and nodded.

"I want to see what your kid's plans are!"

Immediately, Gu Shiqing returned to the Han Palace with Lu Yuan.

As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, Gu Shiqing's eyes widened and he screamed.

"This this this..."

There was a large pool of blood floating on the ground, emitting a pungent smell of blood.

A pale female corpse lay in a pool of blood.

The body was still violently twitching and convulsing.

"Prince Han's Mansion killed someone?!"

"Come on!"

Gu Shiqing was terrified and shouted in fear.

"Hey, his father-in-law, don't shout, don't shout."

Princess Han came out of the house.

Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, his face suddenly darkened.

"Ninglu, how many times have I told you?"

"Not only does your husband live in this house, but also ministers from the court often come to visit."

"You're playing a prank, what should you do if you scare people?"

"Get up quickly!"

Gu Shiqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

The next second, a pool of blood on the ground disappeared.

"Hello sir!"

Liu Ninglu stood up and bowed apologetically.

Then he patted the dust on his body and skipped away. (End of chapter)
