little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 84 Choice
Yang Zhu was a famous philosopher in the pre-Qin period. One day when he came to a three-way intersection, he suddenly burst into tears.Someone asked him why he was crying bitterly in bewilderment, and Yang Zhu replied, "I don't know which way to go!" You know, life is full of such three-way intersections!
This story of Yang Zhu crying on the road tells everyone that choosing life is a very painful thing.

Of course, this matter is nothing to Zhu Changluo, because he has stood on the shoulders of historical giants and seen high and far.But for Ye He, Xiong Tingbi, and Sun Chengzong, the multiple-choice questions Zhu Changluo gave them were really difficult.

A heaven, a hell.

What was discussed secretly in the study was known only to the person concerned, and Xiao Fuzi only knew that he yawned and watched the door of the study with sleepy eyes all night, until the door was opened when the door was closed for the whole night.The first one to come out was Xiong Tingbi, who rushed out with a pair of red eyes staring like a gust of wind.

Then came out Sun Chengzong, the mature and prudent Teacher Sun still walked calmly, but Xiao Fuzi was surprised to find that after walking a few steps, Teacher Sun almost bumped into a pillar at the corner.

Xiao Fuzi's favorite Young Master Ye He really didn't disappoint him, but he took His Highness's hand and said a word firmly, "No matter what you do, just do it, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I can protect you well." .”

Xiao Fuzi suddenly lost his mind, and shivered involuntarily: Your Highness, Young Master, you want to make trouble like that...

The days passed quickly, it had been a month since Prince Rui came to Jijiu Fan.In the eyes of Governor Zhou Heng and Governor Li Yanhua, this little prince does things too strangely. He doesn't take Ye He or Sun Chengzong around every day to do nothing, but the magnificent "three guards" he brought from the capital , still living in the temporary barracks.

Everything is normal and weird...Governor Zhou is worried day and night. Since the banquet in Lixiating, he has not underestimated Prince Rui. Then he can go back to his hometown to be raised, Mr. Zhou secretly cheered himself up in his heart, as long as he lasts for another two years, he will be fine!Persistence, persistence is victory!
Li Yanhua, the governor of the government, is not the case. He has been out of his mind every day for the past month, and his thoughts are all about Su Yingxue, who is like an elf under the moon. Because of this, he doesn't even bother to talk to Zhou Heng. Put it on Su Yingxue's body, but what I didn't realize was that there was one less person beside Zhu Changluo.

Not only him, but even Zhou Heng, who was always being very careful, didn't notice. After all, among the few people around Zhu Changluo, Xiong Tingbi was neither as heroic as Ye He, nor as mature and dignified as Sun Chengzong. Where are you going?
Today Zhu Changluo took a book of scenery in the study and was absorbed in it. Ye He took out Mochizuki and wiped it non-stop in boredom, while Sun Chengzong has been serving as a director in the refugee resettlement camp. He is upright and fair. If there is trouble, Sun Chengzong will naturally live in peace.

Jinan, which officially entered Futian, seemed to be on fire. Xiao Fuzi ran in from the outside, Yuanyuan's face was covered with sweat, "My lord, Mr. Xiong is back!"

"Please!" Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, and he put down the scroll in his hand. Before he could stand up, Xiong Tingbi came in from the outside in a dusty suit. Without saying a word, he picked up the teapot on the table and drank it.After going out for more than half a month, except for the white clothes and teeth, the whole person is darker than before.

Zhu Changluo looked at him with a smile, "Brother Xiong, how is the investigation going?"

Xiong Tingbi took a few breaths, and there seemed to be light flowing on his face, "Your Highness, you are a god! I have traveled all over Zhangqiu, Jiyang, Qihe, and Changqing in the past few days, and it is exactly as you said. There are many imperial stores, guard stores, and gentry stores in these places, and there are only a lot of them, and the people are miserable."

Ye Heqi said: "Then what are the shops with so many names doing?"

"The so-called imperial stores are the private stores opened by the eunuchs in the palace in the name of the emperor. This is a way for the emperor to increase the income of the emperor. As for the guard stores and gentry stores, they are naturally opened by the royal guards, senior officials, eunuchs and even local officials. store."

It was Zhu Changluo who answered Ye He, his face was calm but vaguely ugly.During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, commerce was extremely developed, and capitalism was just beginning to sprout. Although scholars, farmers, commerce, and commerce were still ranked last, that was just talk, and no one would resist the temptation of money.

Ming Dynasty had treasury and internal money. In name, the treasury belonged to the state, and the internal money was the emperor’s own small treasury. But in fact, none of the money spent by the emperor came from his own internal money. It was a huge amount to maintain the royal family every year. All expenditures on silver and silver are borne by the national treasury, and in the end, all the unsatisfactory things are spread to the common people.

Even so, in order to increase internal money income, these imperial stores were born.The emperor can open a shop, but it is impossible for the emperor to go out of the palace to check. These things can only be handled by the eunuch beside him.So the eunuchs used the name of the emperor to pretend to be powerful, open shops privately, enrich their own pockets, and some of them withheld their income and only handed over a small part.

The end result of this approach is that the emperor did not get much benefit, but he still got a bad reputation and took the blame for those eunuchs. It was never banned in the dynasty, but it intensified in the Wanli dynasty.

Compete with the people for profit, and the world will not be in chaos!
"These things have been going on for a long time, and even if we want to solve them, it won't be any time soon." Zhu Changluo said calmly, "These things will be banned sooner or later! I don't care about other places, but in my acre Earth, this is not possible."

Xiong Tingbi had already learned Zhu Changluo's deep thoughts and far-reaching strategies. The scene when Dageng County rescued Mojiang City and avenged Mo Lanxin is vivid in his memory.In his heart, this young Prince Rui's methods have always been like spring wind turning into rain, seemingly gentle and invisible, but actually pervasive.Since Zhu Changluo said he wanted to take care of it, there must be a way. After visiting all the way these days, he only felt that the life of the common people was really too difficult, and he was very happy for the common people.

"Little Fuzi, go and ask Miss Su to come, and just say that I want to see him."

Miss Su is Su Yingxue, Zhu Changluo hasn't seen her since that day when she was brought back to the mansion.This Su girl was also very calm, staying in the room every day, not going out the door, and not going through the second door, so Xiao Fuzi was stunned at the first glance before realizing it, and quickly responded, and went quickly on her legs and feet.

Stepping into the study, Su Yingxue's face was calm as if there were no waves in an ancient well, but there was already a huge wave in her heart.She knows that she is good-looking, and she also knows what her appearance means to a man. She used to be a daughter of the past, and today she feels humiliated and embarrassed by being a womanizer, but when she thinks of her father who died in the prison, and the mother who committed suicide by hanging herself, There is also a scene of more than a dozen bloody mouths lying in a pool of blood... The anger of revenge burns the liver and heart day and night!

Silently looking at the handsome and luxurious Zhu Changluo in front of her, she remembered that the benefactor who kindly saved her told her in an unquestionable tone that only this young prince in the world could help her clear her grievances!She couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it, because the drowning person had no choice, even if it was just a straw.

She has a lot of fear, because she can't afford to lose.So these days Su Yingxue seems to be living quite peacefully, but in fact she suffers from hesitation and suspicion every day. After more than ten days, she has actually lost a lot of energy, but her face is like a winter plum in the snow, becoming more and more radiant.

"Su Yingxue met Prince Rui." She didn't call herself a concubine, when she announced her name, she was no longer that lowly maiko, but the daughter of the thirteen censors of the Daming Inspectorate, Zhongshan Road, the supervisory censor , Su Yingxue!

Still dressed in white, the veil on his face is gone, his footsteps are light as if he is stepping on the mist of the morning light, and at the same time, it is really like a piece of ice and snow jumping into Xiong Tingbi's eyes. This woman is fresh and beautiful, and Su Yingxue's radiance is an irresistible temptation for any man, and the lethality of a young guy like Xiong Tingbi is self-evident.

There was bottomless darkness in his eyes, he stared at it for a moment and smiled and said: "Everyone cut straight to the point, when the calendar came down to the pavilion, Miss Su was wronged with one hand and rescued with the other. The king came to you today to ask what is the meaning of this?"

Su Yingxue was so stared at by him that her heart was beating wildly, and she almost felt a sense of inescapability. There seemed to be a fire burning blazingly in the underwear on her chest. This was the last evidence that could prove that her father was wronged. I misjudged the wrong person for the first time, and after handing over this thing, the grievances of the Su family may never be reversed.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhu Changluo smiled and sighed, "It seems that Miss Su still hasn't made a good choice in the past ten days. If that's the case, Xiao Fuzi will send Miss Su back to rest."

"No need!" Su Yingxue closed her eyes and then opened them, her body trembling violently due to excitement, she reached out to take out a booklet from her underwear, raised her hands high, and solemnly and clearly said every word Said: "Minister Su Yingxue, on behalf of her father, Su De, announced that Zhou Heng, the inspector of Shandong, and Li Yanhua, governor of Jinan, engaged in malpractice for personal gain, accepted bribes, embezzled public food... and even killed people to silence them!"

The room was silent, except for the sound of quietly flipping books.The booklet is not thick but the words are as small as a fly, and everyone who reads it is terrified by the same content recorded on it. Zhu Changluo quickly finished flipping through it, a faint blood flashed in his eyes, and he closed his eyes lightly and let out a breath.

"How is your father Su Degong?"

I haven’t heard my father’s name for a long time. At first glance, it seems like a lifetime away, and there are tears in the corner of my eyes, “The suicide note was written by my father when he was tortured in the prison. Fortunately, the jailer Wang Yong was favored by my father. He couldn’t bear to see my father die, so he secretly sent it At the hands of my mother. After my father died, my mother hanged herself from the beam. On the night of the funeral, a group of robbers came, and dozens of people, including the old and the young, all died."

After saying a few words, all the people present were moved.Xiao Fuzi was the most unpromising, and was sobbing and wiping away tears.Xiong Tingbi slapped the table and was filled with righteous indignation: "This Zhou Heng and Li Yanhua are so vicious and ruthless, they can do such things as destroying their families!"

There was a fire in Ye He's eyes, "Since they are all dead, why are you still alive?"

Su Yingxue's face was pale, and she slowly shook her head, "Maybe it's God's protection, maybe it's my life, benefactor rescued me out, handed over my father's suicide note to me, and directed me to find the prince, saying that only you can make Su Yingxue die." The whole family has been wronged!" At this point, Su Yingxue suddenly became excited, "Everything Yingxue said is true, and she didn't hide the slightest bit. If there is even half a sentence that is false, dozens of members of my Su family will sink into the underworld and never die. reincarnation!"

Zhu Changluo was silent for a while, "Who is the person who saved you?"

Su Yingxue's face turned pale in an instant, "Forgive me, my lord. This Yingxue can't say anything. When I saved me that day, I made a promise first, and I was not allowed to reveal the origin of his description. Even though Yingxue is a woman, she knows how to make a promise, let alone him. He is my savior!"

Ye He's eyes were dark, he stood up with a bang and walked out.

"Da Ming pays attention to governing the country with benevolence and the law as a supplement. Even if Miss Su's words are true, using violence to control violence can be happy, but it is inconsistent with reason and unfair to the law. It is not the right way. Then again, in this world There are too many corrupt officials and tyrants, and you can kill them with one sword and one sword? Come back, let me think of a way."

Zhu Changluo's voice was calm and soft, and Ye He stopped immediately.

"Miss Su, to tell you the truth, even if you have your father's secret blood book, it may not be able to overthrow their group right now. If you trust me, please wait patiently. If you don't, you can take this thing and wait again." Gao Ming, what do you think?"

Su Yingxue is a smart person. She has read the secret blood book left by her father, and she knows that the things recorded in it and the wide range of entanglements are indeed not something that can be done by simply appealing for grievances. It's hard to have a day in the early days, which is also the reason why she didn't dare to appeal for grievances casually. There is only one chance, and the loss will not come back!

Suddenly I remembered what my benefactor said when he pointed me: "Except for the current emperor, no one in the world would dare to accept your father's case. If there is one person who can do it, it must be Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor. As long as he is willing to accept it." Your father's grievances will eventually come to light."

"As long as there is a promise from the lord, Su Yingxue can wait even ten or eight years!" After speaking, Yingying bowed down, dressed in white, "Yingxue once made a solemn oath in front of her parents' grave, no matter who avenged my father, Yingxue I wish to be a slave and a handmaiden for the rest of my life." After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.

The fragrant wind has driven the beauty away, Zhu Changluo came back to his senses, touched his nose and murmured: "It doesn't take ten or eight years... Daddy Ye, Brother Xiong, don't you think this girl is taking advantage of us? Does this count as a big eater?"

Ye He "..."

Xiong Tingbi "..."
