Chapter 343 – The Wise King Strikes
Zhu Di had mixed feelings at this time.
The brother he hadn’t seen in a long time was right in front of him.
The brother in front of him, as usual, brought Zhu some kind of kinship comfort.
The term “loner” refers to the fact that a person like Zhu Di carries the responsibility of the world and holds the power of the world, and therefore, has to rule the world in a monarchical and unsympathetic manner.
But it doesn’t mean, Zhu has no humanity, humanity is definitely there, just not much.
But Zhu was obviously aware that this brother’s visit here had created some sort of rift between them already.
There is no way to even speak of this rift.
Everyone praises this brother of his as a wise king, who can silence the world?
And praising the king of Shu, in fact, is used to contrast Zhu Di, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than not dare to scold the emperor, so elevate the king of Shu just.
This caused Zhu Di to be wary.
What s more …… right now this left governor …… is actually the most tricky thing for Zhu Di.
If Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, accepts it, then …… Zhu Chun will become the mainstay of the resistance to the new government, and the brothers will inevitably be enemies, and sooner or later they will have to turn against each other.
But if you don t accept it, I am afraid …… that it will also bring countless naysayers, thinking that Zhu Di holds a grudge against his brother s sagacity, and behind the scenes, he has made any means.
It can be said …… that the most ruthless killer in this world is not necessarily the sword, but the mouth. Killing with the mouth, divorcing brothers, putting you in a dilemma.
And what about the king of Shu ……
And can the King of Shu avoid it?
At this time, Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, pondered for a moment before saying, “Your Majesty, I never expected that the ministers would elect my brother. I am terrified, and after hearing this news, I have been trembling on thin ice, and I am terrified to the core.”
Zhu Di and Zhu Chun two people play the right time, aside the eunuchs as well as the university students all hold their breath, thus, Zhu Chun words fall, the temple in the needle can be heard.
Zhu Di said, “You do not have to be alarmed and suspicious, the Secretary of this move …… is really out of my expectations, but all dynasties, there is no lack of precedent for the clan as a wise minister.”
“How foolish I am, I really fear that I have failed Your Majesty.”
Zhu Di smiled faintly as he gazed at Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, and said, “The post of left governor is indeed of great importance, and I have indeed found it difficult to find a suitable candidate when I look at the temple.”
He didn’t go on with the sentence.
Instead, suddenly said, “I have heard that you in Shudi …… local military and civilian people, you have much love?”
Chu Tsubaki couldn’t deny it.
For to deny it would be to deceive the king!
What’s more, although Shu is far away from Nanjing, but what happens there, and how to escape his ears and eyes of this royal brother?
But he can’t admit it, after thinking about it, Zhu Chun said, “My brother is not talented, remembering the legacy of Emperor Tai Zu Gao, love and care for the people, but only sparse and shallow, the compliments of the military and civilian population of Shu, is really a fallacy.”
Zhu Di stood up, back hands, paced back and forth a few steps, before saying, “It seems …… that you are really a virtuous king.”
Zhu Chun immediately said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
“There’s no need to be evasive; you are now held in high esteem both inside and outside the court.”
Zhu Chun didn’t look embarrassed and thus lightly said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
Zhu, on the other hand, said, “If you were the left governor, what would you do?”
“This …… my brother ……”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said, “That’s all, I’m only asking you, if I were to appoint you as the left governor, would you be willing to accept?”
Zhu Chun did not hesitate, “My brother is willing to die with his liver and brain.”
This statement was made ……
The three of them, Yang Rong, had calmed down and exchanged glances with each other.
They had thought that if the King of Shu was trying to save his life for the sake of clarity, he would definitely choose to die rather than accept it.
After all …… all, he is a vassal king, what a getaway, the district a left governor, is not worth mentioning.
And staying in the capital as an official is really dangerous as a clan member.
Not to mention, the situation in the capital is so treacherous and dark that it may be shattered if one is not careful.
Zhu Di was also stunned as he looked at Zhu Chun incredulously.
Zhu Di has already done a lot of preplanning, such as Zhu Chun resigned again and again, and he, the emperor, also made a certain guarantee that Zhu Chun was willing to reluctantly agree, or …… Zhu Chun died and refused to accept it.
All in all, he didn’t expect Chu Chun to agree so readily.
This caused Zhu’s brows to furrow.
Zhu Chun is too anxious, a feudal king, can it be that he is still salivating over the position of a left governor in the district?
But what a crucial position for the left governor ……
Zhu Di uttered the words of his heart and said, “I actually thought that you would be modest for a few moments.”
Zhu Chun was calmly said, “The Great Ancestor Gao Emperor loves the people like a son …… My younger brother is a son of man, so he should …… be a son of man.”
“Alright!” Zhu interrupted, with a fries face.
The first time he mentioned Emperor Taizu Gao, it was still excusable, but now he mentioned Emperor Taizu Gao again, which made Zhu Di very unhappy.
I’m the Son of Heaven now, you brother, are you using Emperor Tai Zu Gao to pressure me?
This makes Zhu Di vaguely feel that this brother of his own, not so simple, his heart …… is very big.
Zhu Di faintly said, “Since this is the case …… then I will give my approval.”
Zhu Di glanced at Yang Rong and the others and said, “Decree that Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, be appointed as the left capital governor of the town of Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, and Songjiang prefectures ……”
Yang Rong said, “I obey the decree.”
Zhu Di added, “Qing and the others retire.”
Zhu Chun and the others excused themselves.
Yishakha, however, did not dare to utter a word.
Because he was clear that in fact, before Zhu Chun entered the palace, Zhu Di had ordered a grand banquet to be prepared within the palace.
After all, it is a brotherly meeting, after talking about serious matters, the family closed the door, it is inevitable to catch up on brotherly love.
But Fang, Zhu Di did not mention it, directly let Zhu Chun leave.
It was obvious that Zhu Di was now quite disgusted with Zhu Chun, and not only that, he had even bred a sense of vigilance.
Most importantly, His Majesty must be in a very bad mood at this time.
Consequently, Yilostha lowered his head and looked at his toes, not daring to utter a breath and trying hard to act as if he didn’t exist.
On the contrary, Zhu didn’t stay here for long and quickly whisked his sleeves away.
…………
The three Yang Rongs excused themselves.
Back to the duty room, Hu Guang first frowned and said, “Yang Gong, you say …… this Shu King ……”
Yang Rong sighed and said, “Don’t ask, I can’t read it either.”
Hu Guang was surprised, “There are still things you can’t see?”
Yang Rong gave him a breathless look before saying, “Where in the world can one see things clearly? His Highness, the King of Shu, is by no means a fool, yet he made the worst choice, which is rather strange.”
Hu Guang said, “Perhaps he is really heartfelt and concerned about the rise and fall of the world, so …… only risked universal condemnation and wanted to take on such a heavy responsibility.”
Yang Rong opened his mouth and was about to say something, but then suddenly paused before adding, “Maybe.”
Hu Guang, however, said, “Then what do you say, can this His Highness the King of Shu cure the Left Capital?”
Yang Rong laughed and said, “You want to say who lost and won between him and Zhang Anshi …… right?”
Hu Guang said, “Exactly.”
Yang Rong said, “There are high and low levels of human ability.”
“What about the King of Shu?”
“His Highness the King of Shu is a virtuous king, he is in Shu, he really did a lot of good things, not to mention …… that he is talented and full of wisdom, the book he repaired, I have also read it, and it really has a place to make people’s eyes bright, so it is clear that he is not a mortal.”
Hu Guang’s eyes lit up, “In that case, Your Highness, the King of Shu, is not without a chance of winning.”
Hu Guang had some minor excitement.
“No.” Yang Rong was very straightforward, “The chances of winning are slim to none.”
Hu Guang tensed his face and said, “Is the King of Shu even worse than that Zhang Anshi?”

Hu Guang said, “What are these fly-by-night people you are talking about?”
“You guess?” Yang Rong smiled.
Hu Guang: “……”
Yang Rong continued, “Let’s take another look at it, now is not really the time to draw any conclusions.”
Huguang had to nod his head and let out a sigh as well.
Hu Guang’s mood is still very complicated, many times, people want to jump out of their own origin and status, to objectively look at a thing, it is more difficult than the sky.
As soon as the decree was announced, the capital was in an uproar.
Immediately after, Yingtian prefect, Suzhou governor, Zhenjiang governor …… have entered the capital.
The left governor’s residence was chosen in a small Yamen, this is a deserted a city god temple, but now, after repair, it is put up a sign.
For a while, the officials who came here were all praising each other.
His Highness the King of Shu is so clean and thrifty that it is really hard for people to see.
Unlike the right governor’s residence, so big row, even have towers, really not something!
It was only when the crowd arrived at the Left Governor’s Mansion that they were greeted by a Confucian scholar named Liu Desheng.
Liu Desheng greeted the crowd, then smiled and said, “His Highness is not in the Yamen.”
“Oh?” Yingtian Prefect Deng Wenda was surprised, “But I don’t know where?”
Liu Desheng said, “Already went down to examine the public sentiment.”
The crowd heard, and could not help but sigh: “His Highness loves the people like a son, a thousand gold body, still want to understand the people’s feelings, really teach people to admire.”
“It is said that …… His Highness took the initiative to ask for help …… Hey …… it seems …… that some of the things that His Highness can’t stand to see.”
The crowd was in a state of disbelief.
Then asked this Liu Desheng when His Highness the King of Shu will return to the government office.
Liu Desheng said, “I’m only afraid it will take three days.”
“Good, after three days, isn’t it the winter solstice bathing break? Then …… come and pay your respects then.”
Throughout the Yingtian Mansion, many people set off firecrackers, and for a while, it was incredibly festive.
Zhenjiang Prefecture, Danyang County.
Someone came panting to Danyang Liu’s house.
And then, this Liu family was flattered, and at the head was Liu Yang, who personally led a few of his sons out to greet him.
“The little people never thought that His Highness, the King of Shu, was ……”
Zhu Chun, King of Shu, stepped forward and assisted him as he casually said, “No need to be polite, I’m just looking around.”
After saying that, he glanced back at his clerical staff and said, “The old gentleman is old, and it’s freezing cold, so it’s better to go inside and talk.”
This Liu Yang was so excited that tears came out, panicked and let people prepare wine and food, and first welcomed Zhu Chun into the house to drink tea.
Zhu Chun said, “How is the harvest this year?”
“Happened to the drought, not very good.” Liu Yang smilingly said, “grass people these people, watching the sky to eat, hey …… heaven is not benevolent, grass people and so on will be dissatisfied to suffer.”
Zhu Chun nodded his head and looked to the clerical official at the side, “Take note.”
Zhu Chun added: “It’s not easy for you to be in charge of such a family business, these several sons of yours, they all read books, right?”
Liu Yang bitterly said, “Hey …… really ashamed, three sons, all are children, only the oldest two, there may be a kind of hope of Xiu Cai, the remaining two …… are really untouchable.”
Zhu Chun said, ”It’s not easy to study, and merit is even harder. You don’t have to take it to heart. I have long heard of your great goodness of this place, so I have come to meet you.”
Liu Yang said with a fluttering brow, “I am ashamed to say …… that the grasshoppers …… have only repaired the school …… to provide relief to some of the people, which is not much. ”
“Oh? And studied?”
Liu Yang said, “Liu clan school, is the grass people to build, for the children of the clan to study, has produced two Xiu Cai.”
Zhu Chun nodded and said, “It is not easy to read, and for you to be like this is already rare.”
The banquet was ready and Liu Yang was busy inviting Zhu Chun to the banquet.
Only after the guests and hosts had enjoyed themselves did Zhu Chun leave.
Liu Yang personally sent out seven or eight miles, and only at Zhu Chun’s insistence did he beat a hasty retreat.
While Zhu Chun’s face was expressionless, he glanced at the clerks around him, “The next family, who is it?”
The clerk said, “Not far further is the Danyang Zhou family, the Zhou family has a scholar, and has a good reputation in this Danyang County.”
Zhu Chun smiled and said, “It is very hard for you to follow this king …… right.”
“I don’t dare.” This clerical official said period.
Zhu Chun smiled and said, “This king himself feels hard work, all the way around the horse, not to mention that you guys have to take care of this king’s food and drink at all times, and make the itinerary. Where are you from?”
The clerk said, “A native of Liuhe County.”
Zhu Chun said, “How many years have you been an official?”
“Eleven years.”
Zhu Chun said, “This king sees that you are sophisticated and a competent official.”
The scribe only smiled.
With that, Zhu Chun led the people and continued to run to the next house.
…………
A copy of the report was sent to Zhang Anshi.
The news of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, is …… too much, and the information is too dense.
Not only did this guy show up of his own accord, but he became the left governor.
In order to prevent him from getting lost again, and since this person’s identity was sensitive, Zhang Anshi naturally had the Jinyiwei keep an eye on him at all times.
Of course, it is necessary to keep an eye on it, but not too closely, lest it be noticed.
At this time, Zhang Anshi pressed his temples with a tired face and said, “The king of Shu visited a dozen or so squire’s homes …… What the hell is this guy …… thinking? He, the left governor, can be a bit unprofessional.”
Chen Li smiled slightly and said, “Dudu, whatever ……”
“Can’t ignore.” Zhang Anshi said, “This King of Shu is not like other people, his status, too different, not to mention that it is now a popular choice, every move, all teach me this right governor into a passive position.”
Chen Li said, “I’ve heard that His Majesty, too, is very unhappy about this.”
Zhang Anshi frowned and said, “Those readers, when it is really vicious, hey …… no matter how, continue to keep an eye on it, of course …… be careful, do not give people a handle.”
Chen Li answered the voice.
Zhang Anshi saw off Chen Li, at this time, three people then barged in, one of them staggered: “What Governor, this is my big brother! I see my big brother, still want to inform, you crazy or I am crazy? My big brother even if he is the emperor, I also ……”
As soon as I heard the voice ……
Zhang Anshi was so scared that his liver and gall bled, and with a whoosh, he desperately rushed towards the threshold, and saw that Zhu Yong was lecturing a civil official.
And he’s going to continue, “I’m in the same boat ……”
Zhang Anshi’s face went white as he covered Zhu Yong’s mouth, “Okay, okay, stop it, stop it.”
Rawly pulling and dragging, finally dragged Zhu Yong several dragged in, and then no longer can not hold back the curses, “You are going to kill me?”
Zhu Yong said, “Big brother, I’m just using an analogy with them, I’m afraid they’re too stupid to understand the brotherly love between us.”
Zhang Anshi coldly said, “In the future, these words must not be repeated!”
Zhu Yong said in a confused voice, “What words?”
Zhang Anshi didn’t have the heart to say, “Just that one sentence.”
Zhu Yong tilted his head to think before saying, “I have to be informed even if I want to see big brother?”
Zhang Anshi said, “The latter sentence.”
Zhu Yong thought seriously again before snapping out of it, “Oops, look at me, I get angry …… and dare to say anything.”
Zhang Anshi glared angrily at the three Zhu Yongs and finally said, “What are you doing here on duty today?”
As if Zhu Yong suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly said, “Right! Right! I came to find big brother is something to say. Our workshop, said to drum up a good thing, craftsmen have come to report the good news, they all said …… thanks to the big brother to send those people it …… if not they …… ”
“The ones that were sent? What people were sent?” Zhang Anshi was a bit confused, and then said, “When were they sent, and who were they?”
Zhu Yong’s eyes widened and he couldn’t speak for a long time.
Finally said, “I do not know, they only say so …… big brother …… is it possible that those people cheat us?”
Zhang Anshi frowned and tried hard to think, but after thinking through his head, he still couldn’t come up with anything.
He had a speechless look on his face, “These craftsmen, after all, are not clerical officials. Or clerical officials are good, although rigid some, but at least the sonata up are clear and detailed, there will be no mistakes.”
“Give him away? I, Zhang Anshi, do have a son, but I didn’t give him away. It’s just a matter of time, let’s go and have a look in a few days.”
After all, they are still brothers, these days are relatively busy, now it is not easy to get together, can not help but gleefully gossip with each other again.
Two days later.
A report was sent to Zhu Di.
Yizhuoha looked at Zhu Di’s face, timidly said, “Today is the winter solstice, the minister Mu rest ……”
“Well ……,” Zhu only nodded slightly.
Yizhuoha hesitated for a moment before adding, “The slave girl heard …… that this Yingtianfu, ten thousand people, many people …… have taken advantage of the opportunity …… to take advantage of the opportunity to ……”
Zhu looked at him and said, “Take advantage of what?”
As if he had made a great determination, Yiluoha said, “Take the opportunity to catch a glimpse of His Highness the King of Shu.”
Zhu Di pursed his lips tightly, he could not talk about jealousy, but he had a …… feeling that his authority was offended.
This is by no means a small chicken belly, but because since the new government, Zhu Di obviously feel that there are many people …… desperately in the small action, through which centrifugal separation.
“The king of Shu has been in office for many days, right …… Why did he only go to catch a glimpse today.”
Zhu Di said this in a calm tone, but Yiluoha, who had accompanied Zhu Di for many years, still sensed His Majesty’s displeasure.
Also lost ha had to say: “I heard it was …… Shu King on the job, they went to investigate the people’s situation, have been to Zhenjiang, and Yingtianfu under the head of the counties, visited many people, was visited by the family, said Shu King His Highness courtesy of the wise and generous …… ”
“Enough!” Zhu Di’s efforts to maintain his calm finally cracked and he gasped, “I know.”
Yilungha hesitantly said, “Your Majesty, should we let the East Chamber go and drive people away ……”
Zhu Di, however, glared at Yiluoha in annoyance, “Into your mother, you think I’m not humiliated enough?”
Such things, either completely and all the people who caused the problem will be killed, or can only be held back.
Like this to drive people …… or other small actions, will only attract the world to laugh.
Yiluoha also felt as if she had lost her head for a moment, so she hurriedly said, “Ten thousand deaths for the slave girl.”
…………
At this time, outside of the Re-Capitalization Palace, it could be described as a sea of people.
Yingtianfu s readers are already many, plus …… the imperial examinations are also imminent, and the readers from all over the world are converging on the capital.
Besides, today is a holiday, many court officials, also changed the regular clothes.
Li Shimian was wearing civilian clothes, and at this time, with a few colleagues, came to the government office outside in a hurry.
Seeing this, he also couldn’t help but be moved, “The sagacity of His Highness, the King of Shu, is truly unimaginable.”
One of his colleagues then said, “Among the clansmen, the King of Shu is the most virtuous, and with him at the helm of the Left Governor’s Office, the people will be saved.”
Just then, but a group came.
But Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, rode a donkey with a cadre of clerks, and after entering the city, came all the way to the Governor’s Office.
Some people recognized him and went to greet him, and in a flash, Zhu Chun’s side was surrounded.
Zhu Chun couldn’t help but feel quite emotional when he saw this scene of ten thousand people watching.
At that moment, he got off his donkey and came to meet the people.
And then, finally, under the extreme defense of many of the errand boys and clerks, he reluctantly returned to the Governor’s Mansion.
But the people outside still refused to disperse.
There were even quite a few people who had entered the Governor’s Mansion and were looking around the outside of this lobby.
After Chu Chun entered the hall, he ascended to his seat.
The whole of the Governor’s Office, as well as the governors of the various provinces, came to meet with him in droves.
It was not good for Zhu Chun to kick out other unrelated people.
But at this time …… is a deep breath.
That Yingtian Prefecture Prefect Deng Wenda at this time smiled up and said, “Your Highness …… this time to understand the people’s feelings, to the people under the rule of such importance, is really the people’s blessing.”
Zhu Chun nodded his head and said, “As an official, one should do what is right for the people.”
Everyone nodded their heads and looked at Zhu Chun with even more admiration.
Teng Wenda and said, “The next official people, can serve for your highness, is really three lifetimes of honor, just don’t know …… just don’t know your highness …… what command?”
Zhu Chun said, “There are really some …… er et al listen to the order.”
Teng Wenda and the others then busily said, “In.”
Zhu Chun said, “to people …… now start, each government began to clear the land acres, especially hidden fields and hidden households, is the top priority, the civil officials of the prefectures and counties, must be meticulous, must not be in league with the hidden fields and hidden households, once detected, will not be lightly spared!”
This statement was made.
The smile on Deng Wenda s face …… suddenly disappeared.
This outside one by one originally happy and smiling people …… face smile, are stiffly hanging on the face.
…………
