Domineering Daming

Fang Kongzheng's expression softened slightly, he shook his head and said, "It's too late."

The master was stunned, and immediately understood that even if it was too late for Fang Kongzhang to submit the memorial, Yingtian Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion were only separated by a river, what the emperor should know, he would know clearly by now.

Fang Kongxuan thought about it in his heart, raised his head for a while and said: "No matter what the emperor or the court thinks, we must not delay what we should do. The two sides of the Qinhuai River must be completely sealed off. form..."

Seeing that Fang Kongzhang was still so persistent in his "imminent death", the master secretary was slightly touched, and said, "It's my lord, but do you want to talk to Master Huang?"

Fang Kongzheng only participated in politics from the right, with limited powers and duties. Without the support of the governor, too many things could not be done.

Fang Kongzheng raised his eyelids, a little unwillingly, but nodded and said: "Well, I understand..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a yamen servant hurried in and said, "My lord, it's an invitation from your lord governor, please come over tonight."

Fang Kongxuan glanced at the master book, the master book was also startled, took the invitation and said: "Okay, tell the visitor, my lord will come to the appointment on time."

"Yes!" The yamen servant agreed and left quickly.

Holding the invitation card, the chief secretary said worriedly: "My lord, the sudden invitation by Master Huang is probably a Hongmen banquet..."

Huang Liji was vacillating on the "New Deal" and was hesitant to do things. Following Fang Kongzhang's ban on the Qinhuai River, I'm afraid he regretted it and wanted to stop Fang Kongzhang.

Fang Kongxuan had already guessed this possibility, waved his hand and said, "Let's not care about that, let's continue to do what we do. As long as Mr. Huang doesn't object publicly, we will go our own way."

Hearing Fang Kongxuan's self-defeating words, the master secretary sighed silently, and said, "Yes."

At this moment, Zhu Xu has also arrived in Yingtian.

Standing on the bow of the boat, going up against the current, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.

Standing behind him was Bumbutai, who also came to Jiangnan for the first time, looking at the beautiful scenery, his always deserted face softened slightly.

Standing behind Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun introduced, "Your Majesty, not far ahead is the Jiangnan Gongyuan. This year, the Jiangnan Scholars took the imperial examination. On the other side is the old courtyard, full of brothel singing houses. Like the Little Qinhuai in Yangzhou, this place is the most prosperous. In a prosperous place, no matter what the season is, as long as you want to buy something, you can buy it here, rich in resources and rich in humanities..."

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and listened with a smile.

Ten miles of Qinhuai, a century-old rouge, is the place men most yearn for.

Chapter 671 Vanguard General

Another label of Qinhuai River is "Fengya", which is passed down by those romantic and famous people, to distinguish it from other low-level ones that are purely venting, and at the same time to rationalize their behavior.

The court's regulations on "sexing prostitutes" became useless over time.

Zhu Xu stood at the bow of the boat, fluttering leisurely, with a gentle breeze, really refreshed.

The layout on both sides of the strait can also be called "elegant", but the word "elegant" has never been related to Zhu Xu.

If he can't appreciate the moon, he will have so many words in his mind, but he can't write the word "Jiangyue"; although he knows the scenery well, he can barely write a few poems to praise it.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and said beside Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the Gong Yuan is ahead, and the restaurant we arranged is not far from the Gong Yuan..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people and women appearing on the left bank, crying and crying.

"Let's just die..."

"It was all forced by the governor's yamen, and they didn't give us any way to survive..."

"Meixiang Building is sealed, everyone can only hide outside, and no one is allowed to approach..."

"We're not alive anymore..."

Pfft!

Suddenly, a woman in colorful clothes jumped into the river.

puff puff!

Then came the second, third, and fourth, like dumplings, the women who rushed over started to jump into the river one after another.

"No, someone jumped into the river!"

"Hurry up and save people..."

"Help me..."

As soon as these women jumped into the river, boats on the river, people on the road, and officials rushed over to save them.

Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and said: "It's a good way..."

Cao Huachun stood behind, seeing clearly, and remained silent.

This is also a kind of resistance. The governor's yamen is forcing people to death, which is not good.

But Bumbutai suddenly said, "This is a good opportunity."

Zhu Xu was startled, it was the first time he heard Bumbutai open his mouth, he turned to look at her and smiled, "What a good opportunity?"

Bumbutai frowned slightly, regretting her recklessness, but immediately felt relieved, and said: "It is unreasonable for the Jiangsu patrol yamen to seal the Qinhuai River. Regardless of whether there are dead people or not, both sides of the Qinhuai River are not safe... the government will have something to do." Excuse."

"Safety inspection? Closing down for rectification?"

A few words came to Zhu Xu's mind, and he smiled at Bumbutai and said, "Smart."

Bumbutai leaned slightly and stopped talking.

Zhu Xu's boat slowly approached the shore, but he kept his eyes on the women who jumped into the river. He didn't know the details from a distance, but seeing that they were rescued one by one, no one should have died.

It didn't take long to startle a lot of people, servants, officials, men and women crowded the shore, as if they were arguing about something.

Zhu Xu didn't bother to pay attention, and went ashore and asked, "Has Lao Cao arrived yet?"

While speaking, a horse galloped not far away, Cao Wenzhao, who was in uniform, jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Cao Wenzhao, my minister, sees the emperor!"

When Zhu Xu saw it, he immediately smiled and waved his hands, "Excuse me."

Cao Wenzhao got up, also showing joy, walked over and said: "Your Majesty, I am late."

Zhu Xu took a look at him. His skin was a little darker and stronger than before. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "I just arrived too. It seems that you haven't been lazy in Jiangsu."

Cao Wenzhao chuckled, and said, "That's right, the people here are delicate, and they have to train ten times harder. If the emperor is free some other day, I will take the emperor to see the military appearance, and the emperor will definitely be satisfied!"

Zhu Xu nodded, he was more at ease with Cao Wenzhao, and said: "Well, another day, I will take a group of civil servants from Jiangsu with me."

Cao Wenzhao knew Zhu Xu best, and he knew his intentions when he heard the words, he smiled and said: "I promise not to disappoint the emperor."

Cao Huachun came over and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements are made, you can go in."

Zhu Xu looked up and saw that not far away was a quite elegant and quiet two-story building, and not far away could see the wall of the Gongyuan.
