Chapter 434 Zhu Zhi Zhu Qingtian!
Lao Zhu was really disappointed in Zhu Xi this time.
If Zhu Xing was just greedy for money and flirtatious, Old Zhu would reprimand him at most.
Now he is openly alienating the royal family, and privately slandering Zhu Yunxi in front of all the princes, which has touched his rebellious scales.
"What other stupid things did your second brother say, tell us all?"
All the princes looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.
"Are you all dumb?"
"say!"
"Back... back to father, the second brother didn't say anything, he just told us to be more careful, saying that the eldest nephew wants to use us as pigs!"
Lao Zhu's face turned green with anger when he heard this, but since Dasun was still at the side, it was not easy to explode on the spot.
"Zhu Yunxi, you take Zhu Yunxi in first, let's chat with you little uncles!"
Zhu Yunxi knew that Lao Zhu wanted to send him away, and he didn't want to make himself feel suspicious of Zhu Xi.
"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson knows it well!"
Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"We are assured of you, but we are..."
"Forget it, you go in first."
"it is good!"
Originally, Zhu Yunxi didn't want to hear these words, but he led Zhu Yunxi into the side hall on the spot.
When Zhu Yunxi saw the delicious food on the table, he was so greedy that he couldn't move his eyes.
"Wow!"
"Lion head, shark's fin, bear's paw, abalone!"
"It's all my favorite food!"
Zhu Yunxi didn't care that Lao Zhu hadn't come in yet, he put a lion's head in the bowl for Zhu Yunxi on the spot, and then said in the tone of a big bad wolf fooling Little Red Riding Hood.
"Fourth brother, there is a good place now, I wonder if you would like to go?"
"What good place?"
"Third brother's subordinates accidentally captured the king of North Korea. Now there is no king in North Korea. Do you want to become king there?"
Zhu Yunxi refused without even thinking about it.
"Don't go!"
"I don't want to go so far away to be king!"
"Zhu Yunxi is good, obedient..."
"The palaces and cities are all ready-made in that place. You can live in them directly in the past, and you don't need to bother to build them."
"Then neither do I!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunxi who was buried in eating the lion's head, and felt angry for no reason.
This grandson is unwilling to go?
What a wonderful place North Korea is. Others can't go there if they want to go, but this grandson is not rare at all?
"Zhu Yunxi, that place is really nice, with millions of people..."
Zhu Yunxi made a face at Zhu Yunxi upon hearing the words.
"Third brother, don't fool me. When we were in geography class, the teacher said that poor birds in that place don't shit. Even if they become kings, they can only eat pickles. I won't go there to be king! "
"If you really dislike me, throw me over there in Datong and let me be a companion with Uncle Thirteen!"
Zhu Yunxi almost died of anger when he heard this, why doesn't this brat know what's good or bad!
"Zhu Yunxi, what nonsense are you talking about, who said you despise you!"
"I'm doing this for your own good, and I want to keep a good place for you!"
Zhu Yunxi threw away the chopsticks angrily upon hearing this.
"Do not believe!"
"You just despise me and want to throw me into the sky. You don't want to see me for the rest of your life!"
"I know you are angry with my mother and concubine. You have always looked down on me, and you have always wanted to push me away. I don't want to displease you. I will tell Grandpa Huang that I will go to the outside of the customs and never again." Let you see, wow..."
As Zhu Yunxi said, he walked towards the outside. Zhu Yunxi was so angry that he pulled him over and pressed him on the chair for a violent output.
"Who taught you these words!"
"When did I look down on you, you wolf-hearted thing, I'll kill you..."
Lao Zhu was reprimanding his group of rebellious sons outside the hall, when he suddenly heard Zhu Yunxi's crying and howling from the side hall, he hurriedly left the group of rebellious sons and rushed in.
"Zhu Yunxi, why did you hit him!"
"Grandfather, don't worry about it, I'm his elder brother, and an elder brother is like a father, teach him a lesson!"
Old Zhu really didn't move when he heard this, he just watched from the sidelines, letting Zhu Yunxi clean up Zhu Yunxi.
Seeing that the emperor's grandpa came in and didn't help him, Zhu Yunxuan cried even more miserably, and started to twitch after a while.
Hearing this sound, Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to exert any strength with his hands, but just patted subconsciously.
"Do you still dare to talk nonsense!"
"Don't dare, woo woo woo..."
"Then do you want to go to North Korea to be a vassal king?"
"Go... no no no... I won't go even if you kill me..."
"you!"
"You really want to piss me off!"
Zhu Yunxi finally understood why Lao Zhu hung him up and beat him. To deal with such a disobedient brat, it would be really unpleasant not to hang him up.
"Come on!"
"Take him to the residence of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and lock him up!"
"Don't give him food without my order!"
When Lao Zhu heard that his grandson was fined not to eat, he couldn't hold back on the spot.
"Da Sun, let's pass this, what if I get hungry?"
"Grandfather, don't worry about it, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't be able to starve him after one or two meals!"
"Why don't you embarrass the child, and ask him who would like to go?"
"Ugh!"
"Fine!"
Zhu Yunxi glared at Zhu Yunxi viciously.
"Don't say that my elder brother didn't take care of you. You gave it up yourself. Don't regret it in the future!"
Zhu Yunxi turned his head stubbornly when he heard the words.
"I don't regret it!"
"I'd rather eat sand in the desert than run so far away to be king!"
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was so obsessed with obsession, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to give up the idea of letting him go to North Korea, and ordered someone to call in several princes outside the palace.
"Grandpa Huang, tell the little Wang uncles!"
Old Zhu coughed when he heard the words.
"You should have heard it just now. Now that the King of Korea is vacant, is any of you willing to go?"
All the princes looked at each other, looked at each other and shook their heads collectively.
Lao Zhu was also shocked when he saw this scene, thinking that North Korea is so unpopular, and none of his rebellious sons are willing to go?
"If you go there to be king, we can give you three more guards and horses!"
Zhu Wei is old and not as ignorant as other princes. He was quite tempted to hear his father say to give him three more guards and horses.
Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Wei was tempted, so he tried to persuade him.
"Really not going?"
"After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"
"If you stay in Daming, you can only be an ordinary vassal. The environment is far less good than North Korea!"
Zhu Wei shook his head firmly when he heard the words.
"Father, my son will die in Daming!"
Old Zhu leaned back in his chair in disappointment when he heard this, and looked at his other sons with serious eyes.
"None of you want to go?"
The others shook their heads in unison upon hearing this.
"Don't go!"
"We are the same as Brother Sixteen, we will die in Daming!"
Seeing what they said, Lao Zhu was so angry that he grabbed a bowl and smashed it down.
"roll!"
"Get out of here!"
"No one is allowed to eat today, we are all starving!"
When everyone heard Lao Zhu say "Get out", they ran away in despair on the spot, and soon Zhu Yunxi and Lao Zhu, the grandfather and grandson, were left in the hall.
In the quiet side hall, Lao Zhu's chest heaved violently.
At this moment, Lao Zhu was a little ashamed to face his grandson.
The vassal king he originally sealed up by himself was able to expand the territory and guard the frontier for Daming.
Looking at it now, it seems that these vassal kings whom I appointed can't do anything good except drink blood and eat meat on the body of Daming, the giant dragon.
"Da Sun, why don't we withdraw all the feudal lords?"
Zhu Yunxi secretly rolled his eyes when he heard the words.
"Grandfather, you are not testing me, are you?"
Old Zhu blushed in embarrassment when he heard this, and cursed angrily.
"You, a rebellious grandson, can't cooperate. Say something nice for your uncle Wang?"
Zhu Yunxi laughed.
"I don't!"
"I've known their virtues for a long time. It's better to count on a group of pigs than to count on them to guard the frontier for me!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu was so angry that his lungs exploded. When he saw the steamed buns on the table, he grabbed a few and threw them at Nisun.
"Will you speak?"
"If you can't speak, don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"
Zhu Yunxi dodged the steamed bun attack with a smile, caught the last steamed bun, and ate it slowly.
Lao Zhu sat aside and secretly got angry for a while. Seeing that the eldest grandson didn't come to coax him, he only cared about eating, so angry that he picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
The two ate for a while, and when Lao Zhu saw that Dasun was still silent, he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Dasun, what do you think about this matter?"
"What else can I do, your son doesn't want to go, and my brother doesn't want to go either, so I can only send Li Chenggui back!"
Old Zhu asked unwillingly.
"Isn't it a pity to send it back like this?"
Zhu Yunxi shrugged helplessly.
"Do you have a better way?"
Old Zhu also had a headache when he heard the words, a good opportunity to expand the territory, but was given up by his own group of rebellious sons.
Just as Lao Zhu was about to accept this fact helplessly, he suddenly thought of a person.
"By the way, grandson, how long has it been since you contacted Zhu Zhi, that rebellious son?"
"Zhu Zhi, we communicated with each other a few days ago. It is said that he is very active as the magistrate now..."
When Zhu Yunxi said this, his eyes lit up.
"Grandfather, do you mean to let Zhu Zhi go?"
Old Zhu nodded with a smile.
"Yes!"
"Zhu Zhi was originally named the King of Liao. There is not even a decent city in Guangning, and the Palace of the King of Liao has not been built for a long time."
"If you let Zhu Zhi go to North Korea, the palace and the city are ready-made, Zhu Zhi will definitely be happy!"
"Can Zhu Zhi be willing?"
Lao Zhu said confidently.
"Don't worry, he will be happy. Tell him, if he doesn't want to go, we won't build a palace for him, let him sleep in a tent in Liaodong!"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was really interesting, and Zhu Zhi enjoyed it the most, so maybe he could really agree to go to North Korea to become king.
"All right!"
"It just so happens that I'm going to Songjiang Mansion in the next two days to check the work progress of the Shipbuilding Department this year. Then I will stop by Shaoxing to see Zhu Zhi and ask for his opinion."
Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.
"If you're used to his faults, just say it's our will. Forgive him for not daring to resist it!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi pushed the soup bowl in front of him towards Old Zhu.
"Grandfather, please drink more soup!"
Lao Zhu smiled and picked up his rice bowl to fill up the soup, but when it was half filled, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"what do you mean?"
"But do you think we talk too much?"
Zhu Yunxi explained with a smile.
"no!"
"Grandson thinks you are too old-fashioned, so I want you to drink some soup..."
"Rebellious grandson!"
The next day, Zhu Yunxi set off for Songjiang Mansion, and Lao Zhu also became "ill" as a matter of course, and delayed indefinitely the interview with the North Korean monarchs and ministers.
This confused the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the minister of Honghe Temple did not know how to deal with the North Korean monarchs and ministers.
If Daming still recognizes North Korea as a vassal state, then it should be treated as a county king.If Ming wanted to annex North Korea, then the king of North Korea must be reduced to a duke, or directly executed in secret.
When Honglusi was confused, Qi Tai, Minister of Rites, and Tang Duo, Minister of Military Affairs, were also secretly discussing.
"I heard that someone suggested that the prince and grandson go to guard North Korea?"
"There is such a rumor. It is said that a companion of the original Wenhua Palace read the remonstrance. Your Majesty and the emperor's grandson are quite moved."
"It's just that the princes don't want to go, because North Korea is too far away."
Qi Tai secretly gasped when he heard the words.
"It's indeed a bit far away. It's no wonder the princes are unwilling to go. And it's not legally appropriate. It will put everyone in other vassal states at risk."
Hearing this, Tang Duo smiled wryly and shook his head.
"You thought it was just a legal matter?"
"According to the report of the Ministry of War, Li Fangyuan, the son of King Li Chenggui of North Korea, has established himself as king in North Korea, and has withdrawn 10,000+ troops from the border to guard the capital!"
"If Daming forcibly sends the prince to the domain, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. If you win, it's okay, but if you accidentally lose, you won't even mention the loss of troops, and it will even damage the dignity of Daming and make other small countries laugh at it!"
When Tang Yan said this, he sighed faintly.
"Jing Haijun was lucky to win this time, but it may not be possible to have such a good opportunity in the future!"
The discussion between the two is just a microcosm. In fact, many officials in Ming Dynasty are not optimistic about letting the prince go to North Korea.
Firstly, the name is not right, and secondly, North Korea’s strength is still there. If you want to seize it, you will inevitably lose troops and generals. For Daming, the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, another round of debate in the court began.
It's just that these debates have nothing to do with Zhu Yunxi. After Zhu Yunxi inspected the work of the Shipbuilding Department in Songjiang Mansion, he encouraged Lu Shiyuan and went to Shaoxing by ship.
Since Zhu Zhi acted as the acting magistrate of Shaoxing, he finally found his own direction in life.
He found that being a magistrate was much more interesting than being a vassal king. There were endless things to do and people to meet every day.
Among all the daily work of the magistrate, his favorite is trial cases.
All kinds of strange cases added countless colors to his life.
Today he received another complaint, it was Jia Zhang, a widow in the house, who sued her brother-in-law for raping her and tarnishing her innocence.
Zhu Zhi liked this kind of peachy cases the most, and as soon as he received the pleadings, he hurriedly ordered someone to bring the criminal to him.
The common people in Shaoxing Mansion also liked this kind of case, and gathered around the gate of the magistrate's yamen early in the morning, waiting to see the trial of the case by the King of Liao.
Zhu Zhi didn't shy away from it at all, and even hoped that the more people watching the fun, the better, so that Zhu Qingtian's reputation could spread.
It's just that he didn't know that among the people watching the excitement outside the door today was his dear nephew.
Zhu Yunxi and Chang Jizu hid in the crowd, seeing Zhu Zhi sitting in the lobby in a shark suit with a huge official hat on his head, they laughed secretly.
"Your Highness, King Liao's hat seems to have been stolen!"
"Didn't he just steal it? He hasn't been officially appointed by the Ministry of Officials yet!"
When the two were secretly laughing, the people around them gave them a slap.
"You two, keep quiet and listen carefully to Zhu Qingtian's trial!"
"Zhu Qingtian?"
When Zhu Yunxi heard that the people called Zhu Zhi that way, he was quite surprised in his heart.
Generally speaking, the word "Qingtian" is the highest honor the common people have for officials.
He never expected that Zhu Zhi, who has always been a fool, could get such a high evaluation from the local people.
Zhu Zhi obviously heard the common people calling him Zhu Qingtian, so he proudly grabbed the gavel and patted it heavily.
"Ascension!"
"Mighty... woo woo woo..."
With a deep "mighty" sound, there was silence inside and outside the lobby.
Zhu Zhi also took advantage of this time to secretly observe Jia Zhang and his younger uncle Jia Xi who were kneeling in the lobby.
"Who is the plaintiff?"
The fat woman in the hall hurriedly spoke.
"The woman is the plaintiff!"
"I sue my uncle, Jia Xie, for being strong against the slave family. The slave family can't resist, and can only be ruined by him. Please ask the master Qingtian to be the master of the women, blah blah..."
Jia Rong, who was kneeling beside him, scolded angrily on the spot when he heard the words.
"You bullshit!"
"It's clear that you hooked up with me several times, and seeing that I'm not tempted, that's why you framed me for defilement of you!"
"Master Qingtian, please learn from me. Wansheng has never even touched his sister-in-law, so how can he tarnish it!"
Zhu Zhi felt a headache when he heard what the two said, and regretted that he had been promoted too early, and should send someone to secretly investigate the two people's style and review the case.
When Zhu Zhi had a headache, the people outside the lobby were also talking about it.
Some said it was the woman who made a false accusation, and some said the man was making excuses. In short, they said everything.
"Your Highness, which of these two people you say is true?"
"What do you say?"
