Chapter 420 Unable to Kneel and Go to Prison

"Ren Hengtai, old man, is really getting more and more unruly!" Zhu Gaochi changed his clothes and stood on the gate tower, looking at the officials in the corridors of the imperial city below, and those officials who shrank to the corner to bask in the sun and eat cakes and ducks. Ren Hengtai, who has legs, made a joke with a smile on his face.

Zhu Shangbing stood aside with his hands folded, breathing in boredom.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji were wearing official robes, with their hands lowered, their eyes casually looking at the court colleagues who were kneeling quietly in front of the palace gate under the city wall.

Zhu Yunxi, who had slept for most of the day, now had bright eyes and was full of energy.

It's just that the eyes are so deep that people don't know what they are thinking.

"Will they kneel here forever?" Zhu Shangbing really didn't want to stay on the city wall to blow the wind, so he asked.

Zhu Yunxie said softly: "They won't leave at this time, just like Ren Hengtai and others, at least no one will leave here today."

Zhu Shangbing had some doubts on his face, and tilted his head to look at Zhu Gaochi who was beside him: "Why?"

Originally, Zhu Gaochi was not going to explain.

But seeing the expression on Zhu Shangbing's face, if he didn't explain it, he would look stupid, Zhu Gaochi could only sigh helplessly.

"Because they are now fighting for preferential treatment for themselves and for the family."

Zhu Shangbing snorted, "Preferential treatment for scholars? I went to check it out today. The law of the Ming Dynasty only stipulated the exemption of miscellaneous servants. It never said that it would be exempted from taxes."

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi turned their heads to look at Zhu Shangbing at the same time, with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and said cautiously: "Could it be that I made a mistake? I'll drive away my dog-headed master later!"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and patted Zhu Shangbing's shoulder and said: "You are right, the preferential treatment of fame and fame in this dynasty has always been just the exemption of handymen. But things will change if things go on. It can be confused."

"They're taking advantage of the loophole!"

Zhu Shangbing let out a low cry of shock.

Zhu Yunxi hummed: "Han Chuang studied hard for dozens of years. Once he was on the gold list, he entered the court to select officials, served as the department of various departments, and shared the power of the world. People often say that officials and officials protect each other, but it's not just that. These people who share the power of the world , and will use the power in his hands to safeguard his own interests.

Household deployment manages the income and expenditure of the world. I really don't know how the local handymen and Zhengfu are?Local government officials, really don't know how many acres of land they rule?How many self-cultivating farmers are there, and how many tenants are devoted to contributing? "

"Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver."

Zhu Gaochi let out a deep sigh.

Zhu Shangbing was stunned for a moment. These conversations today really impacted his previous cognition.

He couldn't help turning his head, looking at Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji who were standing in the shadows.

The two of them are also studying hard in the cold window, the generation who have been named on the gold list, they are also officials in the court, and they are also the same as the officials below who knelt and forced the palace.

Are they too?
Zhu Shangbing's gaze sharpened involuntarily.

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Shangbing, with embarrassment on his face, he silently bowed his hands and said, "My son can be called Jin Yiwei Che Chachen."

Xie Jin said directly: "Why did the son humiliate the minister?"

Zhu Shangbing coughed lightly: "I didn't say anything, don't slander me!"

Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands: "Go into the palace, there is nothing to see here now, let them kneel down."

When someone spoke, Zhu Shangbing immediately turned his head to avoid embarrassment: "Not here anymore? Leave them alone?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Wait until they can't kneel anymore."

Zhu Shangbing scratched his head, not quite understanding what this sentence meant.

Zhu Yunxie had already turned around and walked up to Xiejin and Xia Yuanji, and said softly, "Your Majesty Qin is an idiot, you don't have to take it to heart."

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji bowed immediately: "I dare not."

When the two raised their heads, Zhu Yunxi had already walked down the city wall surrounded by guards.

The second fool, Zhu Shangbing, squeezed in front of Xiejin and Xia Yuanji: "I'm sorry. But you better not be greedy. If you are short of money, tell me, and I will help you find it."

After he finished speaking, he patted Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji on the shoulders with great vigor, and passed between them.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji looked at each other in surprise, their eyes flickering.

The grandson of the emperor was right, this one is a fool!
Even in the palace.

Although the preparation of the matter was hasty, but nominally the emperor summoned the people and old people in the city to have fun together, the 24 yamen in the palace still tried their best to facilitate this matter in the shortest time.

The stage is built behind the Donghua Gate and next to the Wenhua Hall.

The one who sings with the number one scholar outside the Donghua Gate is a good man.

In the former Song Dynasty, when Ping Zhangshi under Tongzhong Shumen and Han Qi, a scholar of Jixian Temple, said this sentence as a prime minister, he pushed the civil officials to a new level. The former Song Dynasty, when the literati and bureaucrats shared the world, was the same at one time.

Although behind this sentence, it is because Di Qing, who has no political wisdom, pleaded for Jiao Yong who had withheld military pay, and said: Jiao Yong has military merits and is a good man.And Han Qi said something casually, but Han Qi's ability to say this sentence without any hindrance also shows that he treats civil and military matters differently in his heart.

It was the most beautiful era of being promoted in school and entering the court as an official.

It is the most glorious moment of the civil servants.

Since it was the Donghuamen of Ming Dynasty, no such story happened again.

And behind today's Donghua Gate, there was a burst of gongs and drums.

In front of the huge stage, the emperor really managed to have fun with the people, wearing coarse sackcloth, holding a wine glass in his hand, and mingling on one table after another.

On the stage, the opera troupe from Suzhou Prefecture is not singing the Yingying and Yanyan in the south of the Yangtze River, but the most popular and easy-to-understand vulgar wall, which seems to be full of flowers, family and people.

When Zhu Yunxi rushed over from the Meridian Gate, he only saw the prince's father sitting on the seat of the clan, surrounded by the second generation of the clan who were restless but did not dare to move.

Now the 23rd Zhu Gong, who is getting bigger and bigger, is hiding in the corner, secretly stuffing all kinds of food into his arms, as if he is preparing to fill his never-ending stomach at night.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi who hadn't returned for several months suddenly appeared in the palace, his eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, but he didn't pay attention, and all kinds of food in his arms fell all over the ground in an instant, causing the boss movement.

"Huh?" Zhu Biao, who was watching the play, hummed in his throat, and looked sideways at 23.

Zhu Wei was startled, his whole body trembled, and he quickly waved his finger at Zhu Yunxi: "It's brother Xi who is back."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly fled from the scene of his crime, rushed to Zhu Yunxie, stretched out his oily hand and grabbed Zhu Yunxie's hand.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to take out his hand while walking, and grabbed 23's collar to wipe his greasy hands.

"My son pays his respects to his father. When he returned to Beijing today, he did not enter the palace immediately to meet his father. Please forgive him."

Zhu Yunxi came to Zhu Biao, bowed respectfully and confessed his crime.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing performed the nephew ceremony.

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji bowed down.

Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Everyone is free of courtesy, today's opera singing in the palace is more casual."

Xie Jin and Xia Yuanji saw that the prince seemed to have something to say to the emperor's grandson, so they resigned and found an empty seat to listen to the play.

Zhu Shangbing didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to make a move, he was already pulling the other party to escape from the sight of the prince and uncle, he really didn't dare to stay in front of Zhu Biao for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless, and looked down at Uncle 23 who was sticking to him.

Zhu Biao opened the mouth and said, "23, today's homework?"

"what!"

Zhu Wei let out a cry of surprise, and ran to the side: "Baoqing must be stinking again! I'm going to take care of her!"

While yelling, he was looking for Princess Baoqing who had been sent to rest by the palace people long ago.

Zhu Yunxi wanted to cry but had no tears: "Uncle 23 is still like this..."

"Isn't he growing up?" Zhu Biao gave his son a white look, and said with a groan, "When you were not in Yingtian, he still looked good. Now when you come back, you'll reveal your true nature when you first saw him."

Zhu Yunxi rubbed his nose.

Before he moved out of the palace to live in Taisun's Mansion, Uncle 23 lived with him in the East Palace. It can be said that the kid grew up in front of him, not just being close to him.

Zhu Biao also knows the relationship between 23 and his son, and the close relationship between his young brother and his son is naturally what he wants to see.

No longer pursuing this matter, Zhu Biao turned around and said, "Just came from the Meridian Gate?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and sat down: "Zhai Shan is a little angry, Ren Hengtai and the others stay in front."

Zhu Biao snorted and said, "If they don't stay there, then both sides will be unable to be human. I heard that today you asked Yutian to imply that these people beat up those officials?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately shook his head and denied it: "How could my son dare to do such a thing? Wouldn't this be disregarding the majesty of the court? It must have been ordered by Yutian in private, and my son will punish him severely when he turns around."

Zhu Biao sneered, staring at his serious son, just humming in his throat.

Zhu Yunxi was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he changed the topic and said, "My son is reading Song history recently, and he has some insights. He deeply thinks that my dynasty should learn from history and never follow the example of previous dynasty."

"Oh?" Zhu Biao frowned, showing curiosity, and asked in cooperation: "What do you think?"

"In ancient innovations, there were successes or failures. The reasons are various and cannot be described. It's just that my son thinks that in the final analysis, it all lies in the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people."

Zhu Yunxi thought about his words and spoke very slowly.

After finishing speaking, he looked at the prince's father calmly.

"What my dear grandson wants to do, just tell me, grandpa will listen to you."

At some point, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still among the common people, suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, father and son, holding a wine glass with a ruddy complexion and excited faces.

Zhu Yunxi got up immediately: "Grandson sees the emperor's grandfather, he has not entered the palace today to pay his respects, grandson is not filial."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "It's all empty courtesy, you just talk about things, grandpa is listening."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, looked at his father, and then slowly opened his mouth, telling the plan he had made all the way south and back to Beijing.

……

Before noon.

Night came as expected.

The officials who had knelt for a whole day finally began to lose their hold and crumbled.

Bang bang bang.

Some people began to fall to the ground because they had knelt for a whole day and couldn't hold it anymore, and then tried hard to get up again.

After the first person fell, people began to fall to the ground one after another due to exhaustion.

Under the palace wall, Ru Xun, who was not exposed to the sun, let out a breath. As soon as he breathed out, he immediately infected Zhai Shan and Ren Hengtai. The three breathed with tears in their eyes.

Then it was dyed by Yu Xin and Wang Jun next door.

Immediately, the five imperial ministers all gasped.

Ru Yu's eyes were red, and she stared viciously at the officials who were kneeling and forcing the palace in front of her, her voice became a little hoarse: "You all raise your hands, as long as you agree to a sentence, I will call the people from Bing Ma Si to come over and give it to you." Help everyone take away!"

Ren Hengtai immediately raised his hand, he still wanted to go home and eat the stewed meat his old wife had made early in the morning.

Zhai Shan rolled his eyes and nodded to express his attitude.

Of the five, three agreed.

Yu Xin and Wang Jun looked at each other, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid they won't be able to go away. The legs are growing on them. Let them go now, and they can come back later. If you can stop the first day of the junior high school, how about you?" Can you stop fifteen?"

On the other hand, Wang Jun let out a long sigh: "I say, why don't some of us go to face the Holy Spirit, and ask His Majesty to order you."

Ru Yuan looked at the two of them, snorted coldly, rolled up her robe, leaned against the wall and stopped talking, closed her eyes and recovered.

Ren Hengtai protested twice with his stomach rumbling, then lowered his head with a sad expression, touched his empty chest and sleeves, and felt that he should not have given the meat pie and duck legs to Zhai Shan and Ru Yu today. eat.

Zhai Shan spat at the ground in front of him, and glanced at Yu Xin and Wang Jun with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Just then.

A torch suddenly lit up under the Meridian Gate.

More Jinyiwei officers and soldiers, holding torches and pressing Xiuchun knives in their palms, filed out from under the city gate, and surrounded the kneeling officials in front of the Meridian Gate.

The sudden change caused Zhai Shan and the others to stand up.

Don't wait for a few people to distinguish.

The Commander of Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu, was already dark-faced. Accompanied by Jinyiwei Commander Tongzhi, Commander Qianshi, Nanbei Zhen Fushi and many other officials of the Jinyiwei Yamen, he appeared under the gaze of Zhai Shan and others.

Zhai Shan stepped forward immediately: "Jiang..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Jiang Yu interrupted with a wave of his hand: "His Royal Highness is here."

In a word, it is like a boulder on a sea cliff falling from the rocky cliff into the calm sea water, splashing huge white waves.

The officials who knelt quietly and forced the palace in front of the Meridian Gate raised their heads one after another.

When they saw the emperor's grandson standing in the firelight, their faces were full of surprise and surprise.

Shouldn't the emperor's grandson be still on his way back to Beijing?
Every official who saw Zhu Yunxi's face clearly became nervous for no reason.

Zhai Shan and the others suppressed the surprise in their hearts, straightened their robes, waved their arms and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty and grandson will see you."

Zhu Yunxi ignored the kneeling worship of the imperial ministers, he just calmly watched the officials of Ming Dynasty who knelt all the way to the Duanmen in front of the Meridian Gate.

Sparsely among the crowd were officials who had fallen to the ground due to lack of energy, but had no one to support them.

A sneer appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face.

"Since you can't kneel anymore, let's go to the prison to rest."
