Raiders Guide

The prince has never been idle for more than a month. Emperor Zhaohe approved the matter mentioned in the Lantern Festival, and asked the prince to do it according to the method Ji Muxian said. The corrupt officials that Ji Muxian found out were also supervised by the prince. .

For a while, the taxes collected could not go to the refugees immediately, but the refugees could not continue to starve, so the prince ordered that wherever there were refugees, the magistrate must do it himself, donate porridge and relieve the disaster, and all the idle houses of Zhuangzi should be vacated. Refugees live.

The prince arranged all the refugees in Kyoto to his own village, took out his private treasury, and led people to reclaim wasteland in the western suburbs and build houses.

All of a sudden, the common people praised, the prince is benevolent, and he will be a good emperor in the future.It's Dasheng's luck.

King Chong investigated corrupt officials, and the crown prince was a refugee, so there was a saying that brothers are of one mind, and their profits cut off money.Emperor Showa was very satisfied.

Yan Yushu sneered in his heart: These two wished to kill each other, but someone spread the saying that brothers are of one mind.

Rumors are the worst thing to believe.The people whom King Chong worked so hard to find out were executed by the prince, and made a wedding dress for the prince in vain.Emperor Zhaohe is so biased, how can he be respectful.

Yan Yushu suddenly thought of Emperor Zhaohe, he was a man suitable to be an emperor, he ruled for 30 years and overthrew the royal family that had been entrenched for hundreds of years, including the Liu family.

When the first emperor was in power, he was already a puppet of the royal family. Emperor Zhaohe's official wife was married to the Wang family.

Yan Yushu would not be so stupid as to think that it was Emperor Zhaohe who was unable to have children, and he had already thought about getting rid of the Wang family, but he was born at the wrong time. In 30 years, he is also old, and it has been a long time since foreign enemies invaded , had to choose to compromise with the aristocratic family. He chose the prince with the Li family behind him. The Li family has no soldiers, which is better than the Liu family with soldiers and money. enemy.

If his expectations are correct, he will not let the crown prince take the daughter of the Li family as his wife, and the position of princess and concubine will not be vacant when the daughter of Marquis Ding'an is gone. The emperor will marry the prince to Prince Jiangping, and in the future, they will be able to check and balance with the Li family.

Now, he asked King Chong to come forward to investigate the criminal's corruption case, and the prince was a refugee who could buy people's hearts.

As long as King Chong finds out these corrupt black sheep and Emperor Zhaohe appoints good ministers again, in the future, the court handed over to the crown prince will be a very good court.

As long as the prince knows how to employ people, it will not be difficult to regain the lost land.Thinking of this, Yan Yushu couldn't help sighing, quite regrettable, if Emperor Zhaohe could live another 20 years, the world might really be unified.

It's a pity that he is old and bowed his head to the aristocratic family, the land will never be taken back, and the gap between the rich and the poor will always be obvious in Dasheng.

The aristocratic families are rich in gold and silver, and the people are suffering so hard that they have nothing to eat. "Young master."

Chun Yu came in with the medicine, seeing him like this, thought he was thinking about Nan Zhi, "Master, what happened to Nan Zhi, the current world is like this, how can one person change it, you have done your best, don't worry about it."

Yan Yushu smiled, took the medicine and drank it.Emperor Zhaohe was actually jealous of the Liu family, but the Liu family is a loyal family...

It was night, but the concubine Chen's palace was brightly lit, and all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital were announced to enter the palace to treat the Ninth Prince.

Ji Muxuan was lying on the bed with a pale face, covered in cold sweat from the pain, and had already passed out.

Emperor Zhaohe angrily scolded Ji Muxian who was kneeling on the ground, "Ji Muxian, even if there is something wrong with Xuan'er, as an elder brother, you should be more lenient, how could you treat him like this."

"Royal father." Ji Muxian knelt straight and straightened his waist, "Why don't you ask the ninth brother how he insulted his ministers with words in front of the sons of many ministers?"

Concubine Chen cried and knelt on the ground, crying mournfully, "Even if Xuan'er said something wrong, His Majesty should be the one to decide. How could you, how could you let him fall off his horse and break his leg? The king is too reckless, Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master of the concubines, mother and son."

"Concubine Chen, how do you know that the ninth brother was killed by me?"

"You." Concubine Chen stretched out a slender finger and pointed at Ji Muxian, "Xuan'er said in person that he had some quarrels with you today, and he fell off his horse just after you quarreled, Your Majesty, You know that Xuan'er's riding skills are very good, and he has also learned some martial arts, even if he drank some wine, he can't fall off his horse for no reason."

Emperor Zhaohe looked at Ji Muxian with heavy eyes. After his ninth son, several daughters in succession, he doted on Ji Muxuan a little more, and he knew that he was spoiled and often said nothing.

"Father, the ninth brother sent a young man who looked like Yushu to my son today, but my son only said that he only had Yushu in his heart, so he refused."

Ji Muxian thought, this Ji Muxuan is an idiot, don't you remember what he said? If he didn't want it, he would let the young man kneel and die there. At that time, Yu Shu was also there, and he treated the young man wantonly, the minister was afraid that Yu Shu would feel uncomfortable, so he sent him back to Yu Shu."

No matter what happened to Ji Muxian, he was also the emperor's son and the royal family. Ji Muxuan's pairing him with a young lady was an insult to the royal family. Concubine Chen immediately knelt down and pleaded cautiously, "Xuan'er is still young."

Emperor Showa slapped the table, "Sixteen, still young!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The maids and eunuchs in the first palace knelt down one after another, and Ji Muxian continued, "Father Huang Mingjian, the ninth brother knew that he would offend me, and still humiliated me like this, because he felt that the minister could not do anything to him. My son didn't want to do anything, he stayed in the mansion after returning from Ninth Brother's place, this son didn't do anything about it."

Emperor Zhaohe sat without speaking, the power of the sky was unpredictable, and no one dared to speculate on his intentions, Ji Muxian said at the right time, "As the concubine Chen said, the ninth brother was murdered and fell off the horse, and that was the negligence of Jin Yiwei. "

Concubine Chen secretly guessed Emperor Zhaohe's thoughts, but Emperor Zhaohe sighed, waved to Ji Muxian and said, "You step back."

Before Ji Muxuan woke up, he asked him to step down, apparently because he didn't want to pursue the matter, and this matter involved more than him and Ji Muxuan.

And...the emperor didn't want to touch the people involved, so he could only let the Ninth Prince suffer the loss, treating it as if he had fallen from a horse and lost his leg.

"Yes, father, my son and minister will leave." Ji Muxian knelt down and got up, and before he walked to the door, the commander of Jin Yiwei entered the palace, knelt in front of Emperor Zhaohe, and handed Emperor Zhaohe something, "Your Majesty, after the accident of the Ninth Prince I found this, it belongs to the guards of the Crown Prince's East Palace..."

"What?" Concubine Chen exclaimed, with disbelief in her voice, "How is that possible."

Ji Muxian didn't look back, but just smiled. He knew that if he offended that person with his stupid nature like his ninth younger brother, that person would definitely not let himself suffer from being dumb, so he asked someone to secretly kill him when something happened to him. place, throwing something from the East Palace.

The Li family behind the queen and the concubine Taiwei Yun's family are the crown prince's backing in this court, and the second daughter of Taiwei Yun's family is still engaged to Yan Yurong. In the future, Yan Yurong will return to Beijing. The marriage of the two families made the crown prince's position even more difficult to shake.The foundation of the prince can only be hurt if the two families are separated.

The two families have been friends for a long time, and Ji Muxian would not want to separate the two families at once.It's just that once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and germinate in the slightest.

With the intelligence of my father, I certainly don't believe that the crown prince would commit suicide.However, it is enough for Concubine Chen and Taiwei to take it to heart.

It began to rain lightly in the capital, Yan Yushu leaned on the beauties in the house, watching the drizzle fall on the pear blossoms, condensing into beads, it was very beautiful.

All of a sudden, there was only the sound of the rain falling, and the rare silence made Yan Yushu feel the tranquility of the years.

"My lord." Nan Zhi came to Yan Yushu with a refreshed body. "Um."

Nan Zhi originally changed Xiaosi's clothes in the mansion, the two looked similar, Yan Ziyuan looked at it from a distance, and always felt that his son became Xiaosi in this mansion, Yan Yushu, even if they were similar people, they couldn't be considered by the mansion. people order.

Frowning, people went to find some good materials and made clothes for him.When Chun Yu told Yan Yushu, she laughed heartily and said, Master loves you too.

He was wearing light clothes at this time, the cuffs of the robe were embroidered with moon-white flying birds, and the emerald wind of early spring moved the corners of the robe, Yan Yushu looked at it and felt better. "Is your body better?"

Nanzhi sincerely said, "Thank you for your concern, son, Nanzhi is much better."

"En." Yan Yushu changed the tone and asked him, "Can you tell me about your hometown? How do you live."

Nanzhi was taken aback, unable to figure out what Yan Yushu meant, and replied sincerely, "Nanzhi's family is poor and has no land, and they have to go to help workers every day to get food. There is a large warehouse in the village, and food is distributed according to work. Every day when I came back from working in the field, I went to get food and went back to cook it."

"Is this the case everywhere?"

"Yes, the warehouse is built by the landlord. Only those who have land at home don't need to go. They can grow their own food, eat it, and exchange it for money. Those who don't have land can only help. Get the food."

Yan Yushu was shocked for a moment, "You don't need money?"

"Yes, everyone who works has a penny a month. In Nanzhi's family, there are father, mother, sister and I who work, so they get four pennies a month."

Yan Yushu closed his eyes deeply, what can four pennies do, sometimes he spends more than four pennies for a meal, while ordinary people only have four pennies a month.

"Do you have to work every day?"

"Yes, you can ask for leave if you are sick, but it cannot exceed three days in a month. If the time is long, the money will be deducted."

Yan Yushu got up, walked to Nan Zhi, grabbed his hand to check, it was covered with calluses, "Does your family have no land?"

Nanzhi was stunned, as if he felt that what Yan Yushu was saying was a fairy tale, "How could it be possible, but Nanzhi knew that Uncle Zhao in our village had a son who was sick and needed a lot of money, so he had to sell the land to send his son to him. After being rescued, he went to the field with us later, I asked him why he didn’t plant his own land, Uncle Zhao said, it’s not his family’s land anymore.”

Yan Yushu let go of his hand and sighed, "Do you need to pay taxes?"

"If you want, someone will come to collect it every year."

That's right, Dasheng's land is privately owned and can be bought and sold freely. Those who have land at home may sell the land to rich people when they encounter urgent matters.

Step by step, this land came into the hands of the entrenched noble families, but they apportioned the tax to the ordinary people.

The common people don't realize this at all, they don't understand, because for food, for a penny a month, children work in the field after they can work, there is no money to send them to read and write, let alone know how to pay taxes Something is wrong.
