I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"What kind of wind has brought King Gui's young master here again?"

"It's okay, I just came to see, how is the dog farmer who pretended to be dead last time, how is he doing now, is he really dead or fake death—"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youchen smiled at him.

The meaning contained in this smile is self-evident, and Xu Yingyuan shuddered. He was silent for a moment, a little embarrassed:

"It's hard enough for these farmers, so don't make it difficult for you. Summer planting is over, and sweet potatoes can't be planted, so don't come here..."

"Whether I come or not has anything to do with your servant?" Zhu Youchen chuckled, pushed him away, walked into Huangzhuang, found a peasant woman, turned her face over, and clicked his tongue a few times:

"Look, how beautiful it is! What can you get by farming here all day long?"

"Why don't you go back to the palace with my young master. In a few years, my father will be a vassal, and he can carry eight palanquins to marry you as a matchmaker, and let you be my concubine, how about it."

Zhu Youchen's expression was mocking, and the peasant woman naturally knew that she was humiliating and playing with herself, so she just kept silent and endured the humiliation full of heart.

This forbearance did not make Zhu Youchen stop.

But seeing that he did more than that, he stepped forward and stroked the peasant woman's buttocks, the latter was shocked, turned around and subconsciously gave him a slap.

"Snapped!"

After the crisp sound, everyone froze in place.

The peasant woman also looked at her hand in disbelief, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.Zhu Youchen's face was pale with anger, and his lips trembled.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and said angrily, "Wow!"

"You bitch, how dare you hit me?"

"You know who I am, I am the son of King Gui, the younger brother of the current emperor, hit me, I will make your whole family die!"

Immediately, Zhu Youchen waved his hand and said, "Catch her to the palace for me, and clean her up properly!"

The royal relatives who are so close in blood, not to mention these tenant farmers, even Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch in charge of Huangzhuang, dare not make decisions without authorization and disobey him.

When the tenant farmers saw that the peasant woman was about to be taken away, they all pleaded with the eunuch in charge, while Xu Yingyuan looked embarrassed and hesitated.

"This mountain village woman deserves to be beaten!" Xu Yingyuan was quick to think, stepped forward, and slapped the woman fiercely, causing blood to smack, then turned his head and said with a flattering smile:

"Young master, please go back to the mansion first, let me clean up this village woman first..."

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen showed a gloomy face, smiled coldly at him, patted Xu Yingyuan's face, and said:

"Okay, dog slave, dare to snatch someone from me?"

"Go back and ask, it's Wei Zhongxian who is here, do you dare to take care of the affairs of Prince Gui's mansion, you are very capable!"

When the words fell, he saw him lift his foot and kicked hard.

Xu Yingyuan rolled over on the ground with an ouch, screaming miserably.

Zhu Youchen said: "It doesn't matter who comes to intercede, if you don't clean up this dead girl today, don't think about it!"

Seeing that even the eunuch in charge couldn't help him, the tenant farmers despaired.

A man couldn't help but said: "Don't bully people too much, the promotion of sweet potatoes is the emperor's national policy, you are so humiliating, aren't you afraid that we will sue you!"

"Sue the imperial court?" Zhu Youchen laughed a few times, "The current emperor is my brother! As long as I say a word, you can't even enter the city gate."

"Let's sue the imperial court... Come on, pull this man out to the young master, and beat him to death!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The servants of the palace got a thick stick from nowhere, and pressed the man to the ground, involuntarily beating him violently.

After more than twenty sticks, the farmer was beaten to a pulp.

At this time, Zhu Youchen squatted down, raised his chin, and asked in a mocking tone:

"It's you who wants to sue the young master?"

"You're going to be beaten to death by me, why don't you sue..."

The farmer panted for a while, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which just hit the corner of Zhu Youchen's eye. The latter wiped it for a moment, couldn't help being furious, and said:

"Hit, kill directly!"

The servant was about to strike, but a sneer came from behind, a handsome official came with his hands behind his back, his voice was sullen, and his steps were still calm.

"When will the royal family of the Ming Dynasty be able to kill people at will..."

"Are you used to it?"

Chapter 138 The Emperor's Triumph

"Who are you?"

Zhu Youchen turned his head, took a look, and concluded from his clothes that this person should also be a descendant of an honored relative and a rich family.

Immediately, he sneered again, slowed down his tone, and said:

"Which noble son of a wealthy family is your step, you need to know whose business you are in charge of today!"

"I know, Prince Gui's Mansion..." Zhu Youxiao looked extremely calm when he said this word, which made Zhu Youchen secretly speechless.

"Is it dead?"

Naturally, the emperor asked about the beaten farmer. Chao Fu hurried forward, tried it out, and said with a frown:

"Master, I still have a breath..."

"Send him to be treated, he must be cured." Zhu Youxiao said, and turned to Zhu Youchen who was stunned in place:

"Take me to your palace, I have something to say to Lord Gui."

"You count that onion—"

These words lingered in Zhu Youchen's mouth for a while, but he still couldn't say them out. He had a faint feeling in his heart that this handsome little official in front of him was not an ordinary person.

A group of people came to the gate of King Gui's Mansion, looking at the butler who invited him in, Zhu Youxiao sneered, stood with his hands behind his back, and said:

"Tell him to come and ask me himself."

Not long after, the bewildered Zhu Changying was awakened from his sleep, and went out angrily, intending to meet this noble young man of unknown origin.

As soon as Fang went out, his eyes widened:

"Emperor, Your Majesty... are you back?"

When the voice fell to the ground, all the people around were stunned, especially Zhu Youchen, who had said a lot of cruel words in Huangzhuang, his face was as white as frost, and he no longer had the arrogance just now.

"Exemption."

Zhu Youxiao glared coldly at Zhu Changying, who was still quite burly, and walked into Prince Gui's mansion first, and after sitting down at the first seat in the main hall, he said:

"Come on, tie me up!"

Immediately, several Jin Yiwei who had been following him all the time, didn't have any face to show, separated two people, one on the left and one on the right to clamp Zhu Youchen.

"Emperor... Your Majesty!?"

The emperor was younger than himself, but his words were simple and clear. Zhu Youchen, who hadn't turned around for a while, didn't resist, but seemed a little at a loss.

"I ask you, why do you want to obstruct the implementation of the national policy!"

"Do you know that because of you alone, the sweet potatoes were not planted in time, and how many innocent people would starve to death?"

"Zhu Youchen, you cannot be redeemed by death!"

"Don't hurry up to plead guilty and plead with the emperor—" Zhu Changying winked at his son, but he was not too nervous.

In his opinion, this matter was just a formality, otherwise why did the emperor come here in a subdued manner, but it was not to mobilize the crowd.

After Zhu Youchen pleaded guilty, Zhu Changying explained from the side:

"My son doesn't understand etiquette. I won't do it again next time. I hope the emperor will deal with it lightly and forgive him this time..."

"Next time, do you still want to have a next time?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes were filled with turmoil, and after a moment he returned to tranquility, and said coldly:

"Your family members in Prince Gui's Mansion have always been the most numerous among my uncles in Beijing, and they are also the most difficult to manage."

"I have many brothers, all of whom are about the same age as him, and he is the first one who can do such a thing."

"If you don't impose strict punishments, wouldn't it be clear to the people of the world that the royal family can ignore the king's law and obstruct the national policy at will?"

"Summer planting of sweet potatoes is related to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people's lives and wealth. If he is blocked by him alone, how many people will have their families destroyed..."

"When I was still in the southwest, when I heard the news, I was extremely angry, and I swore in my heart at that time."

"When I return to Beijing triumphantly, I will never forgive anyone who bullies the common people and seeks selfishness. No joke!"

Zhu Youxiao ignored the persuasion of others, raised his eyebrows, pulled out the Emperor Sword from his waist, looked straight at him and asked:

"Are you guilty?"

Zhu Youchen was too timid to look at each other, and said in a muffled voice:

"If those unscrupulous people are not punished, their tails will not rise to the sky. You are my brother, and you are going to those unscrupulous people."

The voice was so low that only Zhu Youxiao and a few others could hear it.

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, put the sword back into its sheath, turned around and said, "Demoted to a commoner, exiled to the southwest."

"In this way, it can be regarded as contributing to the court."

"Your majesty, you, how could you—"

Zhu Changying thought it was just a formality, and it would be enough to confess his guilt with a few words, but he didn't expect it to be serious, so he changed his face immediately:

"The emperor can't listen to the one-sided words of these unscrupulous people. My son is in the palace every day. He is well-behaved and honest. There is no such thing as abusing the people."

Zhu Youxiao gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and said:

"The emperor means that you want to fight with me to the end?"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers woke up like a dream, and they all saw the real meaning of the emperor, which was to make decisions for the people and punish the royal family members who ignored the laws and regulations.

These words spread in all directions, accompanied by the news of the great victory, arousing the enthusiasm of the public.

Zhu Youxiao looked around and was disappointed when he saw that the royal relatives deliberately stayed away from him a few steps. Immediately, a sneer appeared on his mouth, which made Zhu Changying's heart tremble.

Not long after, the voice came from above, with determination:

"From now on, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and the Clan Mansion is in charge of the affairs of the Clan Mansion, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian is also in charge of the Regent's Mansion."

"In the future, the distribution of salary, titles, marriages, etc. of Prince Gui's Mansion will all need to be reported to the Clan Mansion first, and those who act without authorization will be entered into the Clan Mansion and deposed as common people."

"When I return to the palace, I will draw up an order and issue it immediately!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youxiao jumped down from the first place, and planned to lead the troops back to Beijing immediately in Tongzhou, and solve all the accumulated problems one by one.

Fang walked to the door, turned his head suddenly, and said to Zhu Youchen:

"Tomorrow at the latest, I will invite you to the clan mansion for tea."

The meaning is obvious, now I have nothing to do with you, but once I return to the palace, I will issue a new order to increase the power of the clan.

You can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him forever!

The clan mansion in the Ming Dynasty was different from that in the Qing Dynasty.

The Zongren Mansion was established in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was called the Dazong Zhengyuan in the third year of Hongwu. At first, it only had the right to manage the nine clans of the emperor and compile the jade records on time.

It was not until the 22nd year of Hongwu, when it was renamed the Clan Mansion, that the rights gradually increased, and began to record the clan children's concubines, names, titles, time of birth and death, marriage, posthumous title, and burial.

At the time of Jianwen, Zhu Yunqi further gave the clan's family more power.

It is stipulated that all requests made by the clan should be reported by the clan's office, talents and talents should be introduced, and the crimes and faults of the clan should be recorded.

After Yongle, clan privileges increased, and matters under the jurisdiction of the clan mansion were mostly handed over to the Ministry of Rites. Up to now, the clan mansion has survived in name only.

Zhu Youxiao's vigorous restructuring can be said to have completely revitalized the Clan Mansion, the only institution that had restrictions on clan relatives.

It's not just revitalized, one day later, the clan's mansion will become the "East Factory" in charge of the clan, with greater rights than in the Jianwen dynasty.

This decree not only stipulated that the clan mansion once again had the right to supervise the clan members, but it was the first time that the clan members who committed crimes were abolished as commoners and were arrested and detained by the clan mansion.

……

In October, the Beijing Normal University has a pleasant autumn day, which is more comfortable than the changeable temperature in the southwestern region.

Several months have passed since the personal conquest, the capital is still the same capital, but the emperor who left the capital at that time is no longer immature.
