Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 596 Great Grace

  He beat his chest and fell down, crying miserably.

   Quite a bit blamed Shun Tianfu for taking his tone.

   It is a happy thing to have enough food. Xishan once attracted many refugees.

  These refugees may not have any intersection with officials and scholars, so officials and scholars cannot spend their time thinking about how these refugees are resettled and where they went.

  But the people in the northern Zhili prefectures are different.

Many of the refugees who went there were from the same village, fellow countrymen, or various distant and close relatives. Those who used to have no food, and those who could not even eat, thought that they would die after the disaster. I brought back a message, telling them that everything is fine, that I can have enough to eat here, and that there are two great benefactors here, and they are taking care of them, and they are living a good life.

   Then, I told them that I married a wife and gave birth to a baby; or my baby went to school; I built a new tile house by myself.

  At first people didn’t believe it, but later on, they brought a piece of cloth, a few catties of bacon, or their children’s old clothes to poor relatives every now and then, or occasionally asked someone to bring back a little silver.

Only then did people realize that in this world, there is a place where there are two benefactors. Under the protection of these two benefactors, even if they are people like Yang Biao, Wang Ermazi, and Zhang Sanba, You can also live a good life.

  That's why Liu Wuliu came. He struggled in the quagmire of despair for half his life before he saw some light.

  He saw a lot of people, **** it, so many turkeys coming to grab it?

  He was a little flustered, so he followed the flow of people to the west mountain early in the morning, fearing that it would be too late, but unexpectedly, he was caught and dragged by several gentlemen.

   All of a sudden, these gentlemen shattered all his hopes, and he was not reconciled.

  He was crying so loudly that Emperor Hongzhi's heart would be broken when he heard it.

  Yang Tinghe's face darkened. He realized something, so he hurriedly exchanged glances with a few good ministers beside him. Yang Tinghe could see a bit of fear in their eyes.

  On weekdays, if their majesty or the prince is not doing well every day, then what is the matter. In other words, if His Majesty or the Crown Prince is like this, what will happen to the soldiers, civilians and common people.

  And now...isn't the person standing in front of him the real 'people'?

  Yang Tinghe said: "Don't cry, finish your question first."

   Liu Wuliu was a little afraid of this stern-faced official, so he didn't dare to cry loudly, but sobbed softly.

   "Do you know about Yao and Shun?" Yang Ting said condescendingly.

   Liu Wuliu was dumbfounded.

   "I know someone named Zhang Shun."

   "Hahahaha..." Zhu Houzhao unconsciously raised his hips.

   Liu Wuliu's words touched him very much, and Zhu Houzhao felt very proud. He never thought that he had such a good reputation before, and he would inevitably forget himself when he was proud. When he heard Zhang Shun, he couldn't help laughing.

  Fang Jifan took a look at Zhu Houzhao, and said in his heart: "MD, retarded, doesn't know how to be humble at all."

   "..."

  The monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were dumb.

   "You don't even know Yao and Shun?" Yang Tinghe looked at Liu Wuliu with contempt.

  Yao and Shun didn't know, Yang Tinghe seemed eager to prove that Liu Wuliu was a completely uneducated and ignorant people, a fool.

  In fact, there was nothing he could do. Every note, every word, every sigh or tear that Liu Wuliu uttered was nothing more than a slap in the face.

   This slap hurts a lot.

   This order has always criticized the current situation, representing thousands of people, pointing out the mistakes of the emperor and the prince, for the sake of the people, Yang Tinghe, who claims to be clean, has a sense of hopeless fear.

  If so, wouldn't it prove that he is just a ridiculous clown?

  He felt that he was going crazy, so he looked at him more severely; Liu Wuliu.

  Liu Wuliu was terrified, trembling, and finally shook his head: "No... I don't know."

   "You are so ignorant, how do you know good and bad, and how do you know who is good to you and who is bad to you?"

   "..." Liu Wuliu was dumbfounded.

  Yang Tinghe took a deep breath and pressed forward step by step: "Because Xishan can eat white noodles and meat? If you only want to eat, then what is the difference with animals?"

  He was righteous, and the spit almost splashed on Liu Wuliu.

   "..."

Yang Tinghe was furious. The appearance of Liu Wuliu directly subverted his value. This is his most fundamental thing. He is not worried that the emperor will dismiss him from office. Liu Wuliu is digging his roots.

   "The reason why human beings are different from beasts is rare; common people go away, and gentlemen keep them. Shun Ming is in common things, observes human relations, and acts from benevolence and righteousness, not practicing benevolence and righteousness..."

   "What did you say?" Liu Wuliu was stunned again.

  Fang Jifan couldn't help worrying about Liu Wuliu: "He called you a beast and a villain!"

   "..."

   Liu Wuliu was stunned again: "I didn't offend him, why did he scold me?"

   "..." Yang Tinghe was speechless: "Because you don't know how to educate?"

   "I don't know how to educate." Liu Wuliu was obviously a little angry.

   It’s fine for the officials to arrest me, I’m already desperate, and now there’s another official, I treat him so respectfully, pointing at his nose and calling himself a beast, did you provoke him?

  Yang Tinghe Dayi said awe-inspiringly: "You don't have Yao and Shun in your heart, you don't know books, you don't know etiquette, and you only think of flour and meat in your heart!"

   "That's it!" Liu Wuliu was furious, and even the people behind him were a little angry, looking at Yang Tinghe hostilely.

   Liu Wuliu said: "Have you ever been hungry? Have you ever had a three-day hungry stomach? Have you?"

  Yang Tinghe: "This has nothing to do with being hungry, gentleman..."

"Gentleman, shit!" Liu Wuliu gave it all up: "I've endured it, my stomach felt like it was burning, time passed very slowly, every stick of incense was hard to bear, my hungry eyes turned yellow, and I went crazy , When you see wood, you gnaw the soil, and when you see the soil, you dig the soil. You have never eaten sawdust and soil, have you? Do you know what it tastes like? Do you have an old lady? Your old lady is sick, you must be able to afford a doctor Can you catch the medicine?"

   "..." Yang Tinghe was at a loss for words, and the righteousness on his face disappeared.

Liu Wuliu's eyes were red, and when he thought of his old mother, his chest heaved and he beat his face: "I, Liu Wuliu, am worthless, let my old lady starve, and I can't afford a doctor for her, that's right, you're right, I am a beast, and the old mother of the beast can look down on sickness. But I can say, you can’t say it, if you say it, it’s like scolding my parents together, and the beast is the one who gave birth to the beast, do you think I’m stupid?”

   "..."

Liu Wuliu said: "I haven't done anything wrong in my life. They say that they can eat porridge for big families. I planted it. I planted the land. I can barely eat enough, but the rent is too expensive. Even in a good year, it is only half-full. In a bad year, if you don’t flee famine, whether you can live or not depends on your life. I didn’t leave any of the government’s apportionments and servants. You need to do long-term or short-term work, I stole your wife, or you gave birth to your baby, you scold me like this."

   "..."

Liu Wuliu said: "In other places, I have not had a good life. I have never eaten white noodles in my life. People say it is delicious, so I want to try it. I heard that the great benefactor of Xishan is kind to us people and can let us The people live a good life, what do you scold them for? I don’t care what Yao and Shun do, whether he is your father or your mother, what does he have to do with me? I eat his rice? "

  Yang Ting's seven orifices smoked amiably, and hurriedly said: "Absurd, really absurd."

   But apart from saying absurdity, he found that he couldn't refute a word of the woodcutter's words.

  The others, the ones who were plausible before, began to retreat back to the class quietly, and the ones who were upright before secretly lowered their heads, their old faces blushing a little.

"You don't have a backache while standing." Liu Wuliu said, "We all say in the countryside that in today's world, we suffer because there are too many officials like you, who are full of food and drink, and can't talk while standing." My back hurts. I didn’t eat your rice, so you just called me a beast, and you still called my mother?”

  The peasant men behind him looked around in fear, seeing that the rulers and ministers of the court did not say a word, they seemed to feel that Liu Wuliu was trying to kill him, so they were busy pulling Liu Wuliu secretly.

  Liu Wuliu immediately became timid.

"well said!"

   At this time, someone applauded.

   It's not who Zhu Houzhao is.

   You have spoken out my little Zhu's heartfelt words, this scolding is really a pleasure.

  Liu Wuliu looked at Zhu Houzhao in fear, then at Yang Tinghe, when someone said: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

   As soon as the voice came out.

  Liu Wuliu and the others were taken aback for a moment.

  They stared straight at Zhu Houzhao, at this young man with a smile on his face, dressed in fancy clothes, with a fair face, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little fluttering.

   "You...you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." Liu Wuliu and the others were all speechless.

  The fear, apprehension, and apprehension just now, as well as worries about the future, disappeared at this moment.

   "It's a great benefactor...it's a great benefactor..."

  People in Xishan said to the outside world that His Highness the Crown Prince and Fang Jifan were both addressed as great benefactors, so the people in the four villages and eight miles were also used to addressing the Crown Prince in this way.

  Liu Wuliu was cold to Yang Ting and Hengmei just now, but at this moment, he was crying.

   After a click, they knelt down on the ground again, and the rest of the people also knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground. Their bodies were trembling, and they were extremely excited.

Zhu Houzhao approached a few steps, and Liu Wuliu seemed to have found a backer, and hugged Zhu Houzhao's thigh tightly, with snot and tears: "Dear benefactor, I see you, I am Liu Wuliu, My name is Liu Wuliu, Da En Gong, those gentlemen who arrested me here for no reason, don’t do anything about me, Da En Gong has always been willing to be the master of the people, we wait for the people, all admire and respect Da En Gong, you are here, That's enough, you have to tell the people in Xishan that I was arrested, I was arrested..."

   "Yeah, we were captured!"

   Seeing hope is scary for people.

  People like Liu Wuliu may not know what Yao and Shun are, but they know that His Royal Highness, this great benefactor who treats the people kindly and loves the people like a son, is the backer of our people. This is what the folks in Xishan said.
