I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 124 Force the Palace to Protest! (Congratulations to the lord!)
Thick black smoke shot straight into the sky.

The sound of flames crackling and the sound of buildings collapsing can be heard non-stop.

Qufu, the city known all over the world.

The Confucian Mansion, a family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, was completely destroyed by a fire.

"This cancerous tumor that has plagued me for so many years has finally been cut off today."

On a high slope.

His whole body was still tightly wrapped, and Zhu Di sighed as he watched the fire that had turned half of the sky red.

"Father, can I ask if the Kong family really has plague?"

Standing aside, Zhu Gaoxu, who had been put down, looked at the fire in the distance and the soldiers who were sorting out all kinds of goods and books in a nearby camp, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

If the Kong family really had a plague, wouldn't these treasure books also have it?

Why is the old man not afraid at all, and moved all these things out.

Looking at the contemplative old man, he turned his head and gave Zhu Gaoxu a faint look.

"Second brother, you are questioning me!"

Hearing the old man's calm tone, Zhu Gaoxu trembled all over his body, and quickly shook his head vigorously.

"It's not dad. I'm sure I'll believe what you say. It's just that my son thinks that if the Kong family suffered from plague, wouldn't there be all these treasures and books? Why didn't they burn them together? Instead, they brought them out just in case. Be careful to spread the plague, so what should I do?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu like he was looking at a stupid pig.

Helplessly shook his head and sighed.

Ignoring Zhu Gaoxu, he turned and went back to another camp next to him.

"Hey, hey, boy, don't go, explain to me."

Zhu Gaoxu, who was a little puzzled by the old man, didn't dare to ask the old man, and grabbed Zhu Zhangui who was going to follow him.

"That second uncle, I think with your IQ, it might be difficult for you to understand when I explain it."

Zhu Gaoxu stared.

"Don't think I don't understand what you mean? How dare you call me stupid, believe it or not, and I'll beat you up? Tell me quickly, or you can wait to go back and let your father beat you up!"

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

This is what I said, as if I told you that you will not make small reports when you go back.

Well, since he wants to know, then tell him, otherwise he won't be clean for a few days.

"Okay then, I'll tell you."

"This plague is different in the state of the object and the human body. The plague on the object can be killed with the plague water, and it is very comprehensive."

"Just like silver and precious jade, soaking in the anti-disinfection water for a period of time can kill all the plague on it."

"But people are different, we can't put people in the plague water!"

"If you put a person in the plague water, it is estimated that the person will die before the plague dies."

"According to medical science, the plague virus mutates in humans, so for..."

Impatiently, Zhu Zhangui popularized the basics of epidemic prevention to Zhu Gaoxu, and this lecture lasted for two to three quarters of an hour.

After Zhu Zhangui finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes rolled continuously.

What is this all about?

Is it related to the question I asked?
What else is mutation, what is recessive transmission, and what is the incubation period?
Looking at the bewildered Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly, and muttered, "I told you, but you didn't understand what I told you. You insist on listening."

Shaking his head, he walked towards the camp with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the distant figure, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head in confusion.

The more he heard this, the more confused he became.

Until now, he still hasn't figured out why the book of money can be brought out, but people can't be revived.

Before burning the city, Zhu Zhangui ordered all the gold, silver and treasure books to be moved out.

These things cannot go with the Kong family.

These are all properties of Daming, and now that the Kong family is gone, they will naturally be nationalized.

It has to be said that the Kong family has existed for so many years, and the wealth they have hoarded is amazing.

More than 200 soldiers got these things out after two days of searching and moving.

According to the rough statistics of the scribes, there are about 2000 million taels of silver and nearly 20 taels of gold.

In addition, there are countless antique paintings and precious books.

If all these things were exchanged for money, it would be almost equal to the sum of Zhu Zhangui's five years of collecting melons at sea.

For this money, the old man swiped the pen directly, leaving one transaction to the household department, and the rest rushed into the royal treasury.

The money that Zhu Zhangui handed over in the past was watched by the whole court.

If the old man put the money into the royal treasury, Xia Yuanji might be able to hang himself in Fengtian Temple.

Today, no one knows about the money.

How much money is there in the Kong family?That's not as much as the old man said.

As for the plague carried on the gold and silver, the old man didn't care at all.

He doesn't believe it anymore.

No matter how severe the plague is, it can still withstand the burning of the fire.

Putting all the gold and silver back into the furnace for remaking, he didn't believe that the plague could still be alive.

In terms of books and treasures, the old man accepted Zhu Zhangui's suggestion.

Sterilize several times with disinfectant first.

Those that can be boiled in water should be boiled in water, and those that cannot be boiled in water should be grilled over charcoal fire.

As for whether these things will be lost during the charcoal fire, or if there are signs of damage, then Zhu Zhangui doesn't care. Anyway, these things have entered the warehouse of the household department, and it has nothing to do with him.

The old man stayed outside Qufu City for three days, confirmed the amount of gold and silver, and returned to Jinan City after finishing the follow-up.

The Kong family was wiped out in the plague. When this news got out, it would definitely cause a shock in the world.

The old man was afraid that Zhu Pangpang would not be able to hold on, so he decided to return to Jinling immediately and take charge of this matter himself.

Mr. Zhu Zhangui also asked him to pack his things and go back with him.

In terms of the disaster situation in Shandong, it has been suppressed temporarily. The victims have returned to their hometowns one after another, following the arrangements of local officials, cleaning up their homes after the disaster, and waiting for next year's spring plowing.

Except for the soldiers who stayed outside Qufu City to pack up their things, the Shenji Battalion left the camp and drove to Beiping to assemble, waiting for the start of the Northern Expedition next year.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was supposed to be appointed as the general officer of the Northern Expedition, was dismissed by the old man for some reason.

Instead, an imperial decree was passed on to Zhang Fu, asking him to be responsible for the discipline training of soldiers.

On the third day after returning to Jinan Prefecture, Zhu Di inspected the situation of the victims returning home, and after confirming that there was no problem, the collective officials of Jinan Prefecture were excited and the people were reluctant to officially drive back to Jinling.

Jinling, East Palace.

"Is it better? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over again?"

Crown Princess Zhang took the medicine bowl handed over by her daughter-in-law, and asked with concern while feeding Zhu Pangpang.

Zhu Pangpang waved his hands weakly, "It's okay, I know my body well, I'm just tired, just rest for a few days."

Seeing her husband's weak face, Mrs. Zhang felt distressed and complained: "You say you, why do you care about them? Hasn't the old man already issued a decree to announce to the world? The people of the Kong family died of the plague, and there is also Yan Sheng The father's last letter. They don't believe it, let them wait for the old man to come back to find the old man, why come to torment you every day?"

Zhu Pangpang reached out to take the medicine bowl, drank it in one gulp, and shook his head helplessly.

After waving to let the servants leave, he said to Mrs. Zhang: "Actually, don't talk about them, even I don't believe it."

"There are too many unknowns in this matter. The cause of the plague of the Kong family, the sudden large-scale death, and the surrounding counties have nothing to do with it, including the people in Qufu City. None of the people died of the plague. If there are too many, this matter will not stand up to scrutiny at all.”

"Alright, alright!"

"My prince, don't worry about this. The most important thing for you now is to take care of my body. As for other things, let the old man come back and let him handle it!"

"Look at how you are now? If something happens to you, how will you let this family live?"

Seeing that his wife was getting more and more angry, and tears were seeping from her eyes, Zhu Pangpang quickly wiped her tears with distress.

"Okay, okay, I don't care, take a good rest, let them wait for the old man to come back with these crap things!"

"His Royal Highness, the three Grand Scholars are asking to see you!"

As soon as Zhu Pangpang finished speaking, a palace official's announcement sounded outside the door.

Before Zhu Pangpang could respond, Mrs. Zhang stood up angrily and yelled at the outside.

"Tell them to go away, what's the matter for them to wait for the old man to come back."

"Is there anyone who torments people like this? This will exhaust people to death. They are responsible!"

San Yang, who was waiting outside the door, looked at each other awkwardly.

In fact, they didn't want to come here to disturb the prince's recuperation, but today's matter is indeed a bit tricky.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, let me ask what's the matter, if it's not urgent? Let them wait for the old man to come back."

Although he said so, Zhu Pangpang actually knew in his heart that if it was not something urgent, San Yang would not come to disturb his recuperation.

Mrs. Zhang glared at Zhu Pangpang angrily.

"You deserve to be sick. I don't care. Do whatever you want!"

Then he pulled the two embarrassing daughters-in-law and walked out angrily.

"That daughter-in-law, I don't have a good appetite today, so I should have a lighter dinner."

Looking at the angry daughter-in-law who walked out, Zhu Pangpang shouted hastily.

"Just eat meat. Tonight, the entire East Palace will eat big elbows. You'll be so tired!"

"Hehe, that's fine, leave me the thinner ones, the fat ones are too greasy."

San Yang, who was waiting at the door, watched off with embarrassment, angrily not even watching their princess leave.

"Come in!"

Zhu Pangpang in the room called out, and the three of them walked in quickly.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness is blessed and safe."

"Ahem, excuse me! Did something happen?"

"this…"

Seeing Zhu Pangpang with a weak face, the three of them hesitated.

"Okay, you are all here, just tell me what happened!"

Well, the crown prince said so, and the three of them no longer hesitated.

Yang Shiqi took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, since the emperor announced the news that all the Kong family died of the plague, the literati in the world are heartbroken, and they are also suspicious of this matter."

"In the early hours of this day, many literati students from Guozijian and Beijing went out of school one after another. They came to Zhengyang Gate at noon and sat down to protest the court."

"They felt that the death of the whole family of the Kong family was definitely not due to plague, but because of other reasons. They asked to send a great Confucianist to form an investigation team to Qufu to investigate the matter of the Kong family, and to return justice to the Kong family and give the Confucian disciples all over the world Let's explain together."

"Oh!"

As soon as Yang Shiqi finished speaking, Zhu Pangpang slammed the bed board.

"Cough cough cough... What are they trying to do? Do they want to force the palace to rebel? They don't even believe the emperor's imperial decree and the court's words. Do they still have the court in their eyes, and do they...cough cough cough..."

ps: Thank you: The leader of the guarantee of the bottom of the millet, I should have thanked you at the fifth watch today. Everyone knows that something happened to my family during this period, and the matter has not been resolved. I have been running around for the past few days.

This chapter is to thank the leader of my brother. I will write down the other two chapters first. When my affairs are dealt with later, I will finish them as soon as possible.

Thanks again: Boss Boss Guaranteed Boss, the Boss is mighty!
