Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 228 The common people help out!Confucian scholars lost!Unparalleled!I regret it so much!
"Aunt Zhang, let's go and support Master Li Qingtian!"

"Count me in, I won't sell this cake today"

"And me, I'll go to Lao Zhang's stall to get some rotten eggs."

"Rotten eggs? I'm going to pick up some rotten vegetables"

People, you say something, I say something, take the guy and leave, the more you go, the more people in the team.

After half an hour, when they came to the square in front of the Duke's Mansion, more than 2000 people had gathered, which was comparable to the number of scholars.

However, this group of scholars didn't notice at all, and they were shouting their own slogans loudly.

The Confucian scholars shouted together: "Master of the Ming Dynasty, deceive the people with evil words, tamper with the national policy, and the country will fail!"

As soon as this side shouted, the people over there began to beat gongs and drums.

Bang, bang, bang!Bang, bang, bang!Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Afterwards, one of the leaders raised his left hand high and shouted: "Hello, Great Ming Imperial Teacher! Good morning, Great Ming Imperial Teacher! Improve the policy, make the country rich and the people safe, every family has food and drink, and the common people are happy and happy!"

Afterwards, everyone shouted together: "The common people are happy, happy!"

Bang, bang, bang!Bang, bang, bang!Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Another gong, another drum.

The Confucian scholar's voice was suppressed immediately.

Confucian scholars have question marks all over their heads.

Where did the tricksters come from? ?
What a group of short-sighted guys who only see the immediate benefits and cannot see the future disadvantages!

"What's the matter with these gangsters? Is this arranged by the national teacher?"

"Absolutely, damn it, the national teacher wants to use this method to force us to leave?"

"Then we will not leave, brothers, keep shouting!"

The Confucian scholars and the officials who resigned together, ignored the common people, and continued to shout.

"How can the national policy of imperial examinations be changed for thousands of years? The Great Ming Imperial Master will come out and give an explanation!"

The Confucian scholars then shouted.

Seeing this, the common people shouted: "The reform is good, the reform is wonderful, the abolition of the imperial examination will make people happy, everyone can become a high official, and the status of Confucian scholars may not be guaranteed. No wonder I have been anxious here! Hahaha."

This statement came out.

But I saw those Confucian scholars blushing one by one when they were said, and when they talked about it, they felt like the fig leaf had been lifted.

Although there are many great truths in their mouths, most people don't have such lofty ideals, they just want to change their lives through the imperial examination.

Suddenly changed, they couldn't adapt, and naturally wanted to make trouble.

"You rascals, what do you know? Abolish the imperial examinations, so that ordinary people like you can also take the exams. Are you managing well? In the future, the country will be chaotic, and you won't even be able to eat! You can't rely on us to clean up the mess."

A resigned official pointed at these people and cursed.

He is used to being domineering and domineering, so he is naturally not afraid of these people.

"You fart, I only know that Master Li Qingtian let us eat, not you." An old man cursed.

"It's really insulting to the gentleman!" A scholar scolded: "Fart when you open your mouth, fart when you shut your mouth, you are really a bunch of fools, you don't know anything to make a fuss here, what do you think we are asking for here? It is not for the country and the people, but also for the sake of the country and the people. You guys, do you understand?"

A man scolded: "Hahaha, I don't believe it, you will do it for us? We are all fools, and you will speak for the fools? I think you are doing it for yourself."

When the scholar heard this, he became anxious and began to defend himself.

Ever since, the two sides quarreled.

The Confucian scholars tried to reason with the people on the opposite side so that they would not make trouble.

But as the saying goes, it's hard for a scholar to meet a soldier.

This sentence also applies to the people.

They found that their reasonable voices were suppressed by the loud voices of the common people.

Immediately afterwards, the two sides fought red-faced.

I don't know which Confucian scholar punched an uncle because he had practiced martial arts by himself.

The powder keg ignited at once.

"They dare to hit people! Hit them!"

The common people rushed towards the scholars one after another, shaking their fists!

"Hit it as soon as you hit it. I'm afraid you won't succeed? Do you really think we are frail scholars?"

Not to be outdone, this group of Confucian scholars began to roll up their sleeves and join the battlefield.

"Boom boom boom — boom boom boom — boom boom boom —"

Some people beat the war drums and beat the rhythm.

Many of these scholars have practiced martial arts and thought they could beat them.

But soon found that they thought too much.

Because among these people, there are ordinary people who have served in the military service, and they organized the people around them to besiege the scholars.

Soon, this group of unorganized Confucian scholars were beaten to pieces.

Afterwards, the common people carried out long-range attacks, rotten eggs and rotten vegetables greeted their heads, in a panic.

"Gather a crowd to make trouble, arrest them all!"

At this time, many watchmen rushed over. Seeing that the watchmen were coming, the common people scattered and fled.

These watchmen also turned a blind eye, after all they were talking to Lord Li Qingtian, wouldn't it be stupid to arrest them?
These scholars saw that the common people ran away, and they were arrested, wouldn't they be stupid?

They also ran away.

That's it,
This farce ended with the defeat of Confucian scholars.

Li Xiao never showed his face from the beginning to the end, but they ended up in a mess, and when they got home, it smelled like rotten eggs
The imperial palace, in the palace of health preservation.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun are dissatisfied with the recent uproar in the capital.

"These literati, I really want to catch them all in one go, and beat them all up."

Zhu Di looked at the table, the literati collected by Jin Yiwei scolded Li Xiao and did other things, very displeased.

It's not just people in the capital making trouble.

Aristocratic families from all over the country began to resist the abolition of the imperial examinations and marched locally.

Many Confucian scholars and even great Confucian scholars began to run towards the capital, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Xu Miaoyun said helplessly: "Reform, there will always be people's dissatisfaction, which touches the interests of the entire gentry. This is also a process that must go through."

Zhu Di was a little helpless: "Hey, people all over the world are scolding Li Xiao, and I don't know if this son-in-law of mine can bear it. The accusations of thousands of people will end without a problem."

Xu Miaoyun said worriedly: "I'm also worried. During this time, let's go to Li Xiao's mansion to comfort him."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji on the side said: "Grandfather, why are they scolding uncle? Isn't it good to cancel the imperial examination?"

Zhu Zhanji is a clever man, deeply loved by Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, and often takes him with him to teach, just like Zhu Yuanzhang treated Zhu Yunqi back then.
Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "Because your uncle is against the world's humanists, do you think people will scold him?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded thoughtfully, "Uncle is really amazing, my father wouldn't have the courage."

Just as he was talking, Zhu Zhanji's eyes suddenly lit up, seeing Li Wuyou, he rushed over to greet him, "Auntie, cousin."

"My daughter has met the imperial father and the concubine mother."

"The granddaughter has met the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother."

Zhu Ningyun brought Li Wuyou to visit, and Li Wuyou was also extremely polite.

"Yo, Wuyou is here."

Zhu Di smiled slightly, and loved this granddaughter more. Although she was not his own, but helplessly, the girl had never conceived a child, and Zhu Di also treated her as her own granddaughter.

Also loved is Princess Baoqing, Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest daughter and Zhu Di's younger sister, who is only six years old now and has been brought up by Zhu Di all the time.

"Cousin. You have become more beautiful recently."

Zhu Zhanji offered his affection there, Li Wuyou frowned slightly, and followed Ningyun's side, not wanting to talk to him.

Princess Baoqing, who was standing beside Zhu Di, said, "Isn't this princess not good-looking?"

"It's beautiful."

Zhu Zhanji was perfunctory, but his eyes still stayed on Li Wuyou.

"You three, go to the garden and play."

Zhu Di beckoned and ordered the eunuch to take them to the imperial garden to play.

Three five or six-year-old kids were sent away, and the hall was instantly clean.

"Ningyun, you are here, come quickly, father, mother and concubine just want to ask you something."

Empress Xu Miaoyun walked over with a smile, and kindly took Ningyun's hand and sat down at the table.

Zhu Ningyun said: "Mother and concubine are worried about what the literati in the capital are targeting Li Xiao recently?"

Xu Miaoyun nodded and said, "How is Li Xiao?"

Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "Father, mother and concubine can rest assured, Li Xiao listens to operas with Gao Xu in the mansion every day, and it is not too affected."

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "That's good. I'm still worried that Li Xiao will be in a bad mood because of being pointed and scolded by a group of rotten scholars every day, and I'm also worried about doing something radical. After all, if we take action to suppress these people at this time, it is inevitable that the nobles all over the country will be killed." There will be riots, and the country will not be stable."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said helplessly: "The changes are too big, and too many people's interests have been touched. I don't know whether this move is good or bad."

Xu Miaoyun said: "Of course it is good. You can see the changes in Beiping these years. The local officials in Beiping Prefecture did not pass the imperial examination, but they are more down-to-earth and hardworking. They are outstanding. More importantly, they are free from corruption. The wind has decreased too much compared to before."

Zhu Di very much agreed: "Ma'am is right, this is why I made up my mind to abolish the imperial examination, and did not hesitate to oppose the entire gentry class in the world, but even if it is me, I must be very careful. Besides, it is hard for Li Xiao Now, he has become a young bird, and everyone wants him to die."

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help saying: "It's just as difficult as canceling the imperial examinations. After that, canceling the household registration of the whole country, canceling the tax-free privileges of the gentry, and then collecting the land of the world, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded deeply.

In fact, the abolition of the imperial examination is still the second thing. What Zhu Di wants to do most is to collect the land from the world, learn from Li Xiao's method, and rent the land to the people all over the world. The rental fee includes the land tax, so there is no such thing as tax evasion. .

All the land in the world belongs to the imperial court, so this rule is completely a piece of iron bucket!

At this time, Zhu Di wanted to do something that no emperor in the past dynasties dared to think about!
But if the imperial examination cannot be cancelled, let alone the following things.

What Zhu Di was most worried about was that Li Xiao couldn't bear the pressure and quit the business. After all, with his current wealth, he could live well even if he didn't do anything.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Ningyun with concern and said, "How is your son-in-law?"

Zhu Ningyun smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, put it on the table, and unfolded it. "Father, imperial concubine, this is a poem written by Li Xiao when he was depressed, and his heart is in it."

The words read:

[What do you want to transport the canopy, I have met before I dare to turn over.

A broken hat covers the face and passes through the busy city, and a leaky boat carries wine to the middle stream.

Thousand pointing fingers, head bowed as a willing ox.

Hide in the small building to form a unified system, regardless of winter, summer and spring and autumn. ]
Zhu Di went to look down, and then couldn't help being shocked.

A poem that expresses Li Xiao's position and tolerance!
"Good! What a poem!"

Zhu Di was shocked and said, "It's such a cold-eyed man, who bows his head and is willing to be a bully. I was worried that Li Xiao would not be able to bear the pressure. Now it seems that I worry too much. My good son-in-law is only for the people of the world. To be a oxen who bows its head is really like what my father said, no one can match Li Xiao as a minister capable of governing the world!"

This poem made Zhu Di have 1 peace of mind for Li Xiao, that he would not act recklessly in a high position, and that everything he did was for the common people in the world!
Xu Miaoyun was also surprised. After seeing this poem, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Li Xiaozhi's literary talent surpasses the literati in the world, but he still wants to cancel the imperial examination. This is a righteous move. Li Xiao's magnanimity is unparalleled throughout the ages! "

Zhu Ningyun smiled and nodded, expressing her approval.

In his mind, the husband is the most perfect person.
"Fourth, girl, what's so strange? Ningyun is here too."

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang with a full head of white hair, walking with a cane.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Hongwu Palace most of the time, he would come out occasionally to see the fourth child.

"Father, you are here." Zhu Di hurriedly walked away with a smile, supported Zhu Yuanzhang, and sat him on the stool.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down with a smile, put his hands on the crutches, and looked at Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Ningyun with a smile.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's face has become a lot more kind and kind when he is old.

"I have seen my father."

"Meet the emperor's grandfather."

The mother and daughter hurriedly saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, I heard that literati all over the world have recently turned against the Imperial Master of Ming Dynasty. What's the matter?"

Zhu Di shook his head with a smile and said, "Can we not turn against him and smash the jobs of Confucian scholars all over the world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang reminded: "How people in the world are against him, do you know that you, the father-in-law, have to support him? How much courage is needed for reform. Don't let us see Li Xiao end up like Shang Yang."

Historically, once Qin Xiaogong, who supported Shang Yang’s reform, died, Shang Yang was immediately finished and was divided into five horses. He ended up miserable. Although Qin’s reform was successful and the country was strengthened, Qin would rule the world later, but this hero was treated like this.

Zhu Yuanzhang is familiar with history books, so he specially reminded him.

This national reform is something Zhu Yuanzhang, who has lived in Beiping for ten years, is determined to do.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang already felt that his destiny was approaching, and worried that if he died, Li Xiao would end up with Shang Yang.

Zhu Di nodded repeatedly and said: "Father, you are too worried. Li Xiao is your grandson-in-law and also your son-in-law. Gao Chi and him have a very good relationship. The family is harmonious and united. What about Li Xiao?" It will be the same as Shang Yang, incomparable. Don't worry, father."

What Zhu Di meant was that we support Li Xiao, and the next generation of princes, Gao Chi, also supports Li Xiao. Although Li Xiao is being targeted by the world, the whole family still protects him.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, what were you talking about just now?"

Zhu Di pointed to the table with a smile, and said, "Look, this is a poem written by Li Xiao."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the table, "This is."

Afterwards, he was also very surprised.

"Okay, what a poem! Sure enough, we saw this kid right."

"What a frown and cold finger, bowing his head and willingly being a bully!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed straight at the poem, then looked at Zhu Di excitedly and said, "Fourth, do you see that Li Xiao is only for the people of the world, well, treat him well, you know?"

Zhu Di cupped his hands: "Father, the child knows."

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ningyun was overjoyed, as the goal had been achieved.

The husband has a high position and authority, and this poem is enough to make the whole family feel at ease about him.

At this time, the three little radish heads came back from the imperial garden.

When Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he rushed over cleverly, "Grandpa!"

And Li Wuyou also walked to Zhu Ningyun's side, and said hello obediently: "Grandfather is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed to see his great-grandson.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa, can you give your grandson a marriage?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Which girl do you like?"

Zhu Zhanji pointed to Li Wuyou: "I want to marry sister Wuyou."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

Zhu Di: "???"

Zhu Ningyun: "???"

Xu Miaoyun: "???"

Recently, there are a lot of Confucian scholars doing nothing on the streets of the capital.

There are even many officials who resigned, drinking to relieve their worries all day long.

He lingered in various restaurants to eat wine and yelled at the court for injustice.

The big guys thought that the court would invite them back, but there was no movement for a long time.

At this time, a former head of the Ministry of Rites named Zhang Dahui was drinking wine and eating side dishes with a few colleagues in a shop called "Zhang Ji Restaurant".

It has been half a month since they resigned, and they are getting more and more panicked.

A colleague complained: "Brother, you encouraged us to resign together that day, but now we have resigned. We have spent all our money these days, and the imperial court has no intention of inviting us back. What should we do next?"

Another colleague said: "Yeah, is it possible that I really want to use the free train ticket issued to go back to Nanjing? What's the face of meeting my parents and fellow villagers? Besides, this official position is gone, so I can't just sit and eat in the future." "

"What's the noise?"

Zhang Dahui complained: "It's not because of internal disunity. More than half of us resigned from office, and a small half worked for the court with multiple jobs. If we want to completely force the court to save us, we must all work together. Just resign. Mr. Xie Jin said, but let's continue to walk around the doors of the remaining officials at night and let them resign as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, several people were silent and drank mulled wine.

In the past few nights, in order to encourage other officials to resign, they have had a lot of closed doors, and they are very depressed.

"or."

A colleague whispered: "It's really impossible, let's go to take the master's exam? With our talents, it's not easy to get a master's exam. There are eight schools in Beiping City, five primary schools, and three middle schools. I heard that the master's salary It's quite generous, not worse than being a sixth-rank official, we were only seventh-rank before."

Having said that, several colleagues were moved.

After all, Beiping city is so prosperous, they are still willing to stay in Beiping to make a living.

In addition to being unable to afford a house, other consumption is very low, flowers are blooming, and there are many good things that are not available in other places
Moreover, it is easy to make money in Beiping. They found that they can get rich rewards for just helping the shop with calligraphy and paintings.

"Being a wife?"

Zhang Dahui scolded: "Your brain is squeezed by the door. The school is run by Li Xiao. You go to the man's house to scold him, and then go to the other school to apply for a job? You are shameless, and I have shame."

"Didn't the national teacher go out and pay attention to us, I don't know?"

The colleague muttered in dissatisfaction.

At the same time, I said to myself, you thought you were still my boss before, and if you humiliate me like this again, I'm going to lose my face. If it wasn't for your instigation, I'd be a good official.
A few people were talking, but they were silent again.

On the other hand, there was a table of people next to the wine shop, chatting happily.

"Brother Li, hurry up and buy a house. The housing prices in Beiping are getting better and better. You can still earn money if you buy it now."

"That's right, the housing prices in Beiping are rising rapidly. I bought a house five years ago for only 100 taels of silver. Now five years have passed and it has risen to 500 taels. As long as I say sell it, someone will take it right away. That's why I earned 400 taels in five years."

"I earned 400 taels in five years?? That's too much money. You're so lucky. It's worth my whole life."

"But I don't dare to sell it. If I sell it, I can't buy it back. The house price has to go up. The more prosperous the place, the faster it goes up."

"Recently, a high-end real estate has been launched. It is full of small buildings with yards. The scenery is excellent, there is greenery inside, and there is a small lake. It is like a palace. The name of the real estate in the community is Wangcheng Mansion. Domineering."

"Yes, yes, we have to hurry up and make money to buy a house. Now this city of Beiping is full of gold. If we find an opportunity, we can make a fortune. Then we can buy a house and store it. Even if we don't sell it, we can rent it out to outsiders. Ah, you can earn a lot too.”

A few people who looked like ordinary people chatted and laughed happily while drinking.

These words were extremely unpleasant to the ears of Zhang Dahui and others.

Because they are what these people call outsiders, renting houses
Having a house in Beiping is a very dignified thing. If a family has several houses, you don't have to worry about getting a wife. A matchmaker can break through the threshold.

And those of them who are officials are not as good as these indigenous people living in Beiping, and they feel uncomfortable. This is one of the reasons that led to their resignation, and they feel unbalanced.

“哎喝酒喝酒”

Several people picked up the wine glasses again, drinking away their sorrows, while thinking about their future way out.

While drinking a lot of wine, one of the colleagues pointed to the outside of the restaurant and said, "Isn't that Wu Lin? Look at his smug look, isn't there something good about him?"

This Wu Lin is also a small official, originally a subordinate of Zhang Dahui.

Zhang Dahui asked him to resign many times, but this person did not agree, saying that it is better to live than to die, and whatever the court says, he did not dare to resign, saying that there is still an old mother at home to support.

"Wu Lin, come here."

Zhang Dahui waved his hand with some dissatisfaction, calling out to this former subordinate.

Walking on the street, Wu Lin, who heard the shout, looked over. He was a little displeased, but he still walked into the restaurant, came to a few people and said with a smile: "So it's Brother Zhang and a few colleagues."

Zhang Dahui said mercilessly: "You look very proud, it feels good to be a dog for the national teacher?"

"Humph."

Seeing that the other party was so ruthless, Wu Lin stroked his sleeves, but didn't give a good look: "Please pay attention to your words, now I am an official, and you are a citizen. When you meet, call Mr. Yuanwailang."

"Yuan Wai Lang?" Zhang Dahui was surprised, "You have been promoted to Yuan Wai Lang?"

Wu Lin chuckled, quite mockingly: "Everyone resigns, this position is vacant, and this official can only reluctantly fill in."

Several other colleagues were also shocked.

They were originally in the same position under the management of Zhang Dahui.

But now this Wu Lin carp jumps over the dragon's gate and is directly promoted to Yuanwailang from the fifth rank, which is bigger than Zhang Dahui's official position, which makes everyone jealous and regretful.

What the hell, I knew I would not resign.
Let this kid take advantage of the big deal, hateful, really hateful, seeing how successful he is, it makes people itch.
"Okay, I don't have time to catch up with you guys."

Wu Lin smiled contemptuously, and walked out, saying: "The imperial court has now allocated a suite for me in the Wangcheng mansion complex. I will go to choose a house now, and leave!"

After all, he waved his sleeves and left directly.

The voice fell.

All of them were dumbfounded!

Wangcheng Mansion District?

That is a good real estate community close to the city center!
I heard that there are two-story villas with one or two thousand sets.

and the scenery is great
court room
Numb, these people are all numb, sitting in their seats dumbfounded
A sour smell of incomparable regret welled up in my heart
