No.20 The confrontation in the second quarter of the government office

Zhu Tianxiang didn't feel sleepy at all, sipping tea by himself.In this era, Zhu Tianjiang gradually discovered that the "ancient people" were not like the history books he read before, where men were superior to women and the whole world was king.In terms of hierarchy, although the emperor dominates, the people below are chaotic like a pot of porridge. Each prefecture can be said to be an independent small kingdom.The inconvenience of transportation and information allows these people to expand their rights to the maximum limit.It is even said that even the officials in the capital are planning their own plans.The structure of the entire society is composed of these different power groups.No wonder the emperor wanted his sons to fight among themselves to choose the most suitable successor.If you don't do this, you won't be able to suppress the desires of these power groups at all.

Zhu Tianxiang put down his teacup, went to the window and tapped lightly, "Zhu Si, Zhu Yi is alone, can he do it?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhu Yi is a top Azure Dragon Guard, absolutely no problem." A small voice came from outside the window.

Zhu Tianjiang gasped, and could only silently wait for the news in the room.Zhou Dazhong sent people to monitor the official station, such a method could not hide the eyes of the sticky pole.If Zhou Dazhong's people are mantis catching cicadas, then Zhu Yi is the oriole behind them.

In less than a bag of cigarettes, the window rails slammed a few times, "My lord, it's settled, Pang Xiao is safe." Zhu Yi's voice came from outside the window.

Only then did Zhu Tianxiang stretch in peace of mind. After waiting for so long, he could finally sleep peacefully.If something happened to Pang Xiao, according to the rules at the sticky pole, if he couldn't save someone, he would kill him directly.It seems that the rules at the sticky pole are also strict enough, and there is no friendship at all.

Early the next morning, the fourth prince took on a completely new look, and was going to visit his cousin Zhou Dazhong in the government office.However, Zhu Daguan was sleeping like a dead pig, and couldn't shout no matter how much he shouted.By the time Zhu Tianxiang woke up, changed his clothes, and finished cleaning, it was almost noon.

In the government office of Shu Tianfu, officials from all walks of life had arrived early in the morning.According to the usual practice, the prince arrived in Shutian yesterday afternoon, and will come to the government office early this morning.Regardless of whether the fourth prince has real power or not, this cutscene still has to go through again.Furthermore, the meaning of the fact that the prince personally came out to collect taxes is not trivial.

Zhou Dazhong didn't sleep well last night, and Emperor Chengwu sent the prince and Gege to urge the tax, which is enough to prove how much he attaches importance to this time.Indirectly speaking, it was also a strong warning to him.His father's other courtyard was demolished, and he had already had a very tense fight with Emperor Cheng Wu.Zhou Dazhong withheld taxes because he wanted to force Emperor Chengwu to bow to the Zhou family. Both parties knew in their hearts that this was a contest between Emperor Chengwu and the Empress Dowager's family.If Emperor Chengwu bowed his head, the Zhou family would hold more local power, and their status would be as stable as a rock.Once defeated, the power group of the Zhou family will face disintegration.The officials of the Dafeng Dynasty had no other skills, and beating dogs in the water was their favorite thing to do.

Zhou Dazhong was a little annoyed, the people he sent last night unexpectedly lost four masters, which is enough to prove that Emperor Cheng Wu planted a lot of insiders in Shu Tian Mansion.

Zhou Dazhong looked at the sky, and after waiting for so long, the fourth prince has not arrived yet.Could it be that this useless little four wants to break the rules?

"His Royal Highness Xuanzhu, the Fourth Prince of the Dafeng Dynasty, has arrived~!"

Zhou Dazhong was about to send someone to remind him, when he heard the herald shout outside.

The left and right officials stood up one after another, and looked at Zhou Dazhong vigilantly.Zhou Dazhong nodded silently, but he didn't even stand up, he was still sitting high above.

Only Xuanzhu and Zhu Tianjiang came, and Yugege, being a girl, didn't have to come.Zhu Tianjiang was a little angry when he heard the roll call, but he didn't even report his name.

The Fourth Prince and Zhu Tianjiang glanced at each other and walked into the hall side by side.The officials on both sides bowed their hands symbolically, and the fourth prince returned the salute with a humble face and a slight nod.Zhu Daguan was waving his right hand, as if Chairman Mao was receiving the Red Guards.Anyway, sooner or later, I will tear myself apart with these guys, so there is no need to be polite to them.

"Xuan Zhu sees Mr. Zhou." The fourth prince bowed slightly, following the official etiquette very well.

Zhou Dazhong is the governor of Shu Tianfu, a third-rank official.The fourth prince has no title and no official title, so it is customary to salute Zhou Dazhong.On this point, Zhu Tianjiang also admired the Dafeng royal family's approach. They did not spoil the princes and develop the habit of being disrespectful to officials.If it was placed in the previous life, even if the son of the chief leader was a fool, the officials below would confess as if he had met his own father.

"My lord, Zhu Tianxiang, see your lord." Like the fourth prince, the senior official Zhu folded his fists and bowed.

The expressions of the officials on the left and right changed instantly. Zhu Tianjiang was only a rank-[-] official, but he didn't kneel down when he saw the Fu Yin.Moreover, since he walked into the government office side by side with the fourth prince, many people were already dissatisfied.

"Bold Zhu Tianxiang, why didn't you kneel when you saw the governor! Come on, according to the law, you will be severely punished by the [-]th board." Tang Qili, the general judge of the tax office, yelled.

Zhou Dazhong and several of his cronies had agreed to give the fourth prince some power, but he didn't expect Zhu Tianjiang to come to his door.In the eyes of Zhou Dazhong and everyone else, the protagonist of this imperial mission must be the fourth prince. Although Zhu Tianjiang is the host, he is just a follower.

Zhou Dazhong sneered, nodded in satisfaction, and the yamen servant outside the door rushed in with a whimper.

"Bold! Get the hell out of here with me." Zhu Tianjiang said, pulling out the gold pen with a 'swish', "I have a gold pen that I have given by the imperial court and don't wear it on my waist. If you kneel down and break the gold pen, which bastard will be responsible!" Zhu Holding a golden pen, Tianxiang glared at the servants.

As soon as they heard "Imperial Bestowed Golden Pen", all the yamen servants stopped at once. If it was broken, it would be a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans.

The fourth prince stood tepidly, as if nothing had happened.Zhu Tianxiang held the golden pen and turned it around. Under the surprised eyes of all the officials, Zhu Tianxiang walked towards Tang Qili.

Tang Qili glanced straight at Zhou Dazhong, not understanding what this kid meant by holding a golden pen?But judging from Zhu Tianjiang's expression, it seemed that the visitor was not kind.

"Excuse me, Tang Tongpan, what is this place?" Zhu Tianxiang asked holding a golden pen.

Tang Qili was taken aback, "Shu Tianfu government office."

"Damn! I thought it was your tax office. Since this is the government office of the Shu Tianfu, what kind of order do you issue? Could it be that the governor of the Shu Tian Mansion is no longer Lord Zhou? It was changed to you, Tang Qili? Four Prince, I think we should send someone to the Ministry of Officials to inquire about this matter immediately, otherwise we have hired the wrong official, and that would be a big joke." Zhu Tianjiang said seriously.

"You~ don't talk nonsense, Mr. Yin of Shu Tianfu is Mr. Zhou, an important minister of our court, and I am just passing on a message on Mr. Zhou's behalf." Tang Qili said, wiping off his cold sweat.

He is a general judge of the tax government, and sooner or later he will have to fight against the fourth prince and others, so he took the initiative to stand up and kill the majesty of the fourth prince, so that he, the prince, would know how powerful he is.Who would have thought that Zhu Tianjiang is not easy to mess with, and he even got Guan Yuci's golden pen out of it.

The information in these years is not smooth, and the officials of Shu Tianfu don't know how powerful Zhu Daguan is in the capital.They originally thought that Zhu Tianjiang was just a puppet, and it must be the Fourth Prince who was secretly in charge.Using him as a fuss can just knock mountains and shake tigers.

"You are passing the message on behalf of Mr. Zhou? Why didn't I hear a word from Mr. Zhou?" Zhu Tianjiang said, turning to look at Zhou Dazhong who was sitting behind the official desk, "Mr. Zhou, did you give an order just now?"

Zhu Tianjiang didn't even pay attention to Wang Taifu, the Imperial Superintendent, and didn't take these people seriously at all.Even though Zhou Dazhong is a governor, he is only a third-rank official.Above the imperial court in the capital, no one would be lower than him at any level.Ever since they entered the door, this bastard seemed to be in confinement and didn't even move, Zhu Tianjiang was already dissatisfied.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhu has a bright future when he is able to be reused by the emperor at such a young age. Come on, why don't you please sit down with the fourth prince and Mr. Zhu?" Zhou Dazhong was so cunning and cunning that he didn't care about Zhu Tianjiang's words, and directly brought them over. .

The official moved two chairs, and the officials on both sides glanced at each other, thinking that they didn't take advantage of this first round.Tang Qili's face was even more ugly. He wanted to show off others, but he almost got himself into it.Tang Qili gritted his teeth secretly, this beam was finally settled.

The tense scene just now, with the seating of Zhu Tianjiang and the fourth prince, showed a slight easing.However, the two sat in different positions, Zhu Tianxiang's chair was placed behind the fourth prince.Zhu Tianxiang fully realized that if he didn't suppress these guys today, he might not be able to move an inch in Shu Tian Mansion.

"Xuanzhu, I haven't seen you for several years. This time I come to Shu Tianfu, I have to stay for a few more days." Zhou Dazhong said with a smile.In his tone, he sounded like an elder, and he didn't take his status as a 'Prince' seriously at all.

"Thank you for your love, my lord. However, Xuanzhu has the emperor's life, so he dare not delay. Besides, the inspector of the tax inspector this time is Lord Zhu, and Xuanzhu and Yumei are just subordinates to the tax inspector. So, how long will you stay?" Master Zhu has the final say." The fourth prince did not talk about relatives with Zhou Dazhong at all, and still used the official title.

Zhu Tianxiang nodded slightly, and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Your Majesty ordered me to supervise the taxation. I think Xuanzhu has nothing to do, so I took him out to exercise. Are you young, you should go more often Let's go, in the future, no matter whether you are established as a prince, or named a king and a border, it can be regarded as an increase in experience."

"What Master Zhu said is very true, Xuanzhu must study hard." The fourth prince respectfully said in a cooperative voice.

When the fourth prince and Zhu Tianjiang said this, Zhou Dazhong's expression changed, and he looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise.Not only Zhou Dazhong, but other officials were shocked and couldn't believe it.The dignified prince actually complimented a sixth-rank official so politely, and that kid actually dared to nod his head.

Zhou Dazhong rolled his eyes, and immediately changed his face, "Hehe, Mr. Zhu is a tax inspector. Look at this old man's brain. He forgets everything when he gets busy. Come, please sit down, Mr. Zhu!"

Zhu Tianxiang stood up with a smile, and waved his hands, "Thank you Lord Zhou, but I still have an important matter to announce. After the announcement is over, it's not too late for us to sit down."

With that said, Zhu Tianjiang walked to the middle of the lobby and looked at the crowd.Finally, he locked his eyes on Zhou Dazhong.Zhu Tian said in his heart that you can't sit there, you bastard, I will make you kneel today.

"Zhou Dazhong, governor of Shu Tianfu, accepts the order!" Zhu Tianxiang said, raising the golden pen in his hand again.

Zhou Dazhong and the left and right officials were taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly stood up.The imperial decree was not a joke, Zhou Dazhong led all the officials and knelt down on the ground with a huff.

"Chenshu Tianfu Yin Zhou Dazhong ~ accept the order!"

The fourth prince Xuan Zhu was so stupid now, beads of sweat flowed down in a flash.He knew that Zhu Tianxiang didn't even have a fart, let alone an imperial decree.This guy is simply insane, and it's fun to run.

Paralyzed, we had a good discussion just now, how did it change here?If you can't come up with the imperial decree later, you deserve to die!Don't mention how much hatred the fourth prince has in his heart. Once the guy with feelings leaves the capital, he doesn't plan to go back alive.
