Daming heir

Chapter 286 Second Uncle Was Tragedy By You
assassin?

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there would be assassins in the important place of the capital, at the gate of the capital, to assassinate the emperor's grandson?
The soles in front of me are getting closer.

The thoughts in Zhu Yunxi's mind just passed by in a flash, and the whole person was already leaning to one side.

It is impossible for an assassin to kill with the sole of a shoe.

The wind blowing past his ear brushed Zhu Yunxi's temple hair, but before he could adjust his position on the horse's back.

But only a muffled sound was heard.

The war horse under him, with its two front hooves soft, was bumping forward and was about to fall.

The horse stabilized its posture, but Zhu Yunxi completely lost control because of this, and the whole person fell off the horse's back facing the sky, and hit the ground heavily.

Zhu Yunxi, who fell to the ground, didn't have time to think about it. His instinctive reaction was to protect his chest with his hands, and he rolled on the ground into the distance.

At this time, whether it was the officers and soldiers who followed Zhu Yunxi back to Beijing from Jiaozhi, or the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army who went out of the city today to meet and escort the grandson, they all started to move.

There was a burst of fighting and iron armor.

However, the next moment.

Zhu Yunxi heard the muffled sound of footsteps landing behind him.

Then, a familiar voice came into his ears.

"My king came to welcome my nephew, do you want to stop him?"

This is?

Zhu Yunxi was startled, and regardless of his embarrassment at this moment, he hurriedly got up rolling on the ground, and looked back at Qin Wang Zhu Xi who was standing next to the horse with a puzzled face.

A group of officers and soldiers rushing up from the surroundings also recognized His Highness King Qin at this time, holding a knife and gun in his hand, and for a moment did not know how to take this prince who had "assassinated" the grandson in the street.

Today Zhu Xun was wearing an ordinary indigo uniform, but with an unconcealable anger on his face, he stared gloomyly at Zhu Yunxi, who was covered in dust because of rolling on the ground.

He curled his lips, and joked, "I've been on the cross-toe road, and I heard that you also won the first victory in breaking Daluo City. Although you are still smart, it's nothing more than that."

At this time, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, who were following behind, rushed over with a group of their own brothers.

Zhu Gaochi and the rest of the brothers bowed and bowed, looking at Zhu Xi who kicked Zhu Yunxi in the street with puzzled eyes: "Nephew has seen the second uncle."

"The son pays homage to the father."

Zhu Shangbing was even more confused, he didn't know where his father made a mistake, and he did such a stupid thing today.

Zhu Yunxi looked at his second uncle Zhu Xi who was still teasing him, and could only helplessly smile and reach out to pat the dust off his body.

After spitting the dust that ran into his mouth, Zhu Yunxi stepped forward, waved his sleeves, and bowed.

"My nephew has met my second uncle."

"Today my nephew is returning to Beijing. I don't know why my second uncle is so mobilizing to bring my nephew back to the palace."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi did not forget to open his eyes to look around.

Fortunately, because of the imperial army clearing the field, there were no civilians around the section of the road behind the Wai Jinchuan Gate.

only……

He glanced at Zhu Xi who was standing in front of him, obviously still angry, and was puzzled.

I didn't do anything to feel sorry for my second uncle.

It's just a trip to Cochin Road with his boss.

Zhu Xi hummed twice, stepped forward and clasped his hands on Zhu Yunxi's shoulders, wrapping him around and continuing to walk towards the city.

Zhu Yunxi's face was calm, and he looked back at Zhu Gaochi and the others, giving him a calm and calm look, and then lowered his head and let the second uncle toss.

Zhu Xi looked at the officers and soldiers around who were still feeling anxious, and hummed, "I'm still smart. If I come to beat you with a stick, I'm afraid these people will kill us with their knives."

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head, and smiled: "It's been a long time, my nephew and my second uncle have not seen each other for several years, and my second uncle is happy to come to welcome me. How can these people be rough on my second uncle?"

Zhu Xi stopped in his tracks, staring at Zhu Yunxi with widened eyes and frowning.

I kept seeing Zhu Yunxi feeling nervous.

He put all his strength on his arm, and directly clamped Zhu Yunxi under his arm, with a gritted expression on his face, and pressed his other hand on Zhu Yunxi's head, rubbing it viciously.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunxi's entire head was in a mess, and his hair was messed up, that Zhu Xi stopped what he was doing, and then continued to walk forward with Zhu Yunxi in his arms.

"You boy, the second uncle was miserably hurt by you!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yu gritted his teeth, grieved, heartbroken, emotionally moved, wanted to cry but had no tears, and cursed with great resentment.

Zhu Yunxi blinked, shrank his head, and got out of control under Zhu Xi's arm.

Then he stared at Zhu Xi with a serious face, and said solemnly: "Second uncle, my nephew has been in Jiaozhi Road for a whole year, and I haven't done anything!"

"If you say that, I'll go to grandpa to sue!"

Zhu Xi immediately blew his beard and stared, with his hands on his hips.

The two stopped, followed by Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Shangbing, the cousins ​​of Lao Zhu's family, and officials from the clan mansion and the Ministry of Rites also stopped far away.

Something is very wrong.

On the day when the emperor's grandson returned to Beijing, His Royal Highness the King of Qin attacked the emperor's grandson with the soles of his shoes at the gate of Beijing.

This matter is very problematic when you think about it, and it is weird everywhere.

It's better to stay far away, don't want to be affected by the fish in the pond, it's better to do a disaster without reason.

Hearing that Zhu Yunxi was going to sue the old man.

Not only did Zhu Xi not show any panic, but there was even a smile on his face, and he even laughed out loud.

He waved his hand, straightened his chest, squinted at Zhu Yunxi, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Go! You go now! If we say a word of begging for mercy, we are not the men of the old Zhu family!"

"If you don't go, you're a coward!"

"Let's kick you every day! Next time, we won't pick a place where no one is around, so we will kick you in front of Man Chao civil and military!"

Zhu Xi immediately started swearing, looking like a shrew in the street, drooling and spit flying.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly calmed down.

He stared quietly at the second uncle who opened his mouth to curse, and then suddenly laughed.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, just put one hand across his chest and lowered his chin with the other, quietly watching the performance of the second uncle.

its not right!
Why isn't this kid angry?

Zhu Xi, who was cursing non-stop, glanced at Zhu Yunxi, raised his eyebrows, stopped straight, and closed his mouth.

"Can't you hear us scolding you?"

Zhu Xi frowned, stared at Zhu Yunxi with doubtful eyes and asked.

Zhu Yunxi immediately laughed softly, stared at the second uncle quietly for a while, then clicked his tongue and said: "I didn't expect the second uncle to use the art of war against my nephew, trying to provoke my nephew."

Have you been seen through?

Zhu Xi's heart sank, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi hesitantly, wanting to make sure whether his thoughts were really seen through by this kid.

This kid's face is getting thicker and thicker, I really can't understand it!

Zhu Xi sighed in his heart, but when he thought of his own affairs, he could only continue today's affairs.

So, he continued to be thick-skinned and scolded calmly: "Zhuzi! You are not a son of man! Don't you kid just because of this, you can scare us! We are not the kind of people who are afraid of things!"

Zhu Yunxi let out a groan, tilted his head to look at Zhu Gaochi and the others behind him, and muttered, "Second Uncle is really not afraid of things?"

Zhu Xing blinked and scolded, "We are the king of Qin! When did we get scared!"

"Didn't Second Uncle be frightened by the change of land tax envoys in the Six Paths?"

"Liu Dao... We... We're afraid of shit!"

Zhu Xi blushed, but he didn't want to look at the bastard in front of him any more, and turned to the side, cursing and retorting hard.

"Oh...that was my mistake..."

Zhu Yunxi muttered, then picked up his footsteps on his own, and continued to walk forward.

But his voice also reached Zhu Xi's ears.

"I thought that the second uncle was frightened by the local resistance because of the matter of changing the land tax envoy to the governor of Liudao."

"After all, the land of the six realms is far more than that of Zhejiang Province. Especially in Huguang and Jiangxi, there are as many gentry and clans as a cow's hair, and the strength of rebound and resistance is also the greatest."

"I originally thought that my second uncle was His Highness King Qin of our family, and a general who had guarded the frontier for many years. I thought that he was not very skilled in handling these local government affairs, so maybe it could ease the burden on my second uncle."

"But Second Uncle said that he is not afraid of trouble, so it seems that the matter of changing the land tax envoy of the Six Paths is not so much in Second Uncle's mind."

"It's true that my nephew was wrong."

"Second uncle is so brave!"

"It's no wonder he's a good son of my Zhu family!"

While talking, Zhu Yunxi had already gone a long way.

Zhu Xi, who was lagging behind, was stunned when he heard it, his eyes widened.

"oops!"

Zhu Xi let out a cry of surprise, and finally came to his senses.

He hurriedly trotted with a smile on his face, and followed Zhu Yunxi who was walking in front.

"Good nephew."

"What a great nephew!"

Zhu Xi bowed his waist, rubbed his hands together, his face was full of flattery, and he stared at Zhu Yunxi with twinkling eyes.

He shouted twice, but Zhu Yunxi didn't respond, Zhu Xi pursed his lips, and then returned to his smiling face, and arched Zhu Yunxi with his shoulders.

"Good nephew, second uncle's good nephew."

"Did you just say that you want to make the second uncle's job easier?"

While talking, Zhu Yu was worried, so he grabbed Zhu Yunxi and prevented him from leaving.

Zhu Shangbing, who was following behind, witnessed his obsequious look with his own eyes, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and stretched out his hands to cover his face heavily.

"Don't say he is my father!"

Zhu Gaochi on the side was also stunned for a while, and when he heard that Brother Bing was about to sever his father-son relationship with his second uncle, he could only murmur: "Second uncle is really... really big talent!"

"Second Uncle has recently... actually had a miserable life..."

I don't know who the boss of which family was, muttered in the back.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing immediately looked back.

Let's talk about the front.

Seeing that he was held back by his second uncle, Zhu Yunxi immediately pushed Zhu Xi's hand away calmly, pretending that we, uncle and nephew, didn't know each other well.

Zhu Xi's eyes were staring, and he said expectantly: "Brother Xi, Second Uncle heard you very clearly just now, you want Second Uncle to take his burden lightly."

Zhu Yunxi raised his head: "Oh? Did my nephew say that again?"

Zhu Yu was in a hurry and wanted to get angry, but he could only suppress his anger, and said with a smile on his face: "Second Uncle heard it right! Second Uncle is not old enough to be deaf. Look, you are back Now, the six ways to change the land tax envoy, can Second Uncle return it to you?"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, Zhu Xi was very annoyed.

He is obviously His Royal Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, the number one prince of the clan under the crown prince.

But Zhu Xi actually stomped his feet in the street, with a crying expression on his face.

After a long sigh, Zhu Xi said miserably: "Brother Xi...you know, Second Uncle has been away from Xi'an for two full years! Your Second Aunt has not seen your Second Uncle and me for two years.

You don't want your second aunt to be a widow either!You also don't want Brother Bing to have only a few brothers and sisters when he grows up.

Even if you don't say these things, you don't want your second uncle to stay on the empty bed all day long, right?

This Yingtian City, Second Uncle really can't stay any longer.You are back, let my second uncle go back to Xi'an. "

Zhu Yu's face was full of resentment, and he stared at Zhu Yunxi with teary eyes, as if he would never give up and never pay back.

Zhu Yunxi pretended not to know, and then said, "Second Uncle misses Auntie? Then after returning to the palace today, please ask Concubine Hui to send a message that Auntie go back to Beijing to reunite with Second Uncle."

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded.

His eyes stared straight at Zhu Yunxi.

After half a day of work.

Zhu Xi had already started beating his chest and stamping his feet, shouting loudly.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and then said seriously: "Could it be that the second uncle... actually wants to find a new aunt for my nephew? This matter... It's not impossible... As long as the second uncle likes it, it's not that the nephew can't accept the new aunt... ..."

"Shut up, you boy!" Zhu Xi was completely furious, looking at Zhu Yunxi who had been talking about him all the time, and said in a deep voice: "When you return to the palace next time, tell the old man that we will be exempted from the six land reform tax envoys. , let’s go back to Xi’an. We’ve done enough of this job, we can’t do it any longer.”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Yunxi again.

Then he continued to yell: "Anyway, I can't do this anymore! You can find whoever you want to do it. After I worked for you for two years, my spine is about to be scolded secretly."

Put down the pick!
Today must be picked!
Zhu Yunxi looked around and waved his palm lightly.

Zhu Gaochi immediately led his cousins ​​and officials back.

The surrounding officers and soldiers also began to push to the corner, guarding the surrounding streets.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was so solemn, Zhu Xi thought that the other party was really going to start thinking about his own affairs, and there was already a look of expectation on his face.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "But, this errand is related to the Daming Sheji, a century-old cause, the second uncle knows about it, right?"

Zhu Xi nodded again and again: "We know, otherwise we wouldn't have taken on this job for two years."

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Second Uncle has worked hard, and my nephew knows about the hardships, and understands Second Uncle's hard work."

Zhu Xi immediately changed his expression again, nodding his head wistfully in agreement.

"That's right! In the past two years, your second uncle, I haven't had a good night's sleep or eaten a good meal."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and hummed: "Second uncle is indeed suffering."

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter! For our Daming, Second Uncle deserves to suffer for two years." Zhu Xi immediately shook his head and waved his hands.

Zhu Yunxi stared at Zhu Yu deeply, and sighed: "Second Uncle's ability is obvious to all. Daming is now thriving, and Second Uncle's contribution is indelible. Zhejiang's road tax doubled is a solid proof!"

Zhu Xi blushed: "It's all for Daming, for Daming."

But Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said, "That's hard work, and it's also a credit! On the way back to Beijing, I heard that my second uncle took on Liu Dao's errand last year. He also did it practically and achieved great results."

Zhu Yunxi did not lie.

Since last year Zhu Xing took the role of the imperial conferred and superintendent of the six lands to reform the land tax, all the six lands in Zhili, Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, Henan, and Shandong have entered the mu, the integration of officials and gentry, and the reform of commercial taxes. It was done with outstanding results.

You know, these six ways are almost the most important part of Daming's field tax.

Added up, it accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In just one year, Zhu Xi had found out the number of acres of land in Liudao.

From the first year of Hongwu, all newly reclaimed fields in the 26 years have been registered.

Even from the official residence report of the imperial court, Zhu Yunxi saw that the second uncle has spontaneously started to check the new population and hidden households in the area, but it is very low-key and has never attracted attention, but things are indeed being done Understand.

In this process, local resistance and dissatisfaction will inevitably be encountered.

Last year for a whole year.

Fujian Road confiscated six households in 490, Jiangxi Road confiscated four households in 780, Huguang Road confiscated three households in 520, Henan Province confiscated one household in 440, and Shandong Province confiscated two households in 650.

Zhili, 320 seven households.

Underneath these huge numbers are the life and death, punishment and exile of more than [-] people.

Mad King.

This is the place, and now it is the name of Zhu Xi, King Qin of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, last year Liudao did not cause a large-scale rebellion.

After all, the achievements of Zhejiang Road come first, and the improvement of people's lives comes second.

The people of the six realms can naturally see that the imperial government's policy this time is really for them.

After losing the possibility of coercing and provoking the people to fight against the imperial court, those families in Liudao, who occupy a large amount of land and resources, can only be caught without a fight when facing the murderous Jin Yiwei and the frequently dispatched army of the emperor's direct personal guard.

As a result, a huge change took place in the political structure of the imperial court.

Zhu Xi sighed and said with emotion: "Second uncle, I have done enough, I really can't do it anymore."

In the Fengtian Temple, the memorials to impeach him can pile up into mountains every day.

Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his tone: "It is precisely because of the hard work of the second uncle that the reform of the land tax in the six ways of the Ming Dynasty can achieve such results. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without the second uncle! The court cannot do without the second uncle! The land tax reform cannot do without the second uncle." uncle!"

"My nephew looks at the government and the public, inside and outside the clan, only the second uncle is the one who can really do this well!"

Zhu Xi was dumbfounded.

According to the number of routes just now, shouldn't I let myself go back to Xi'an to live behind closed doors at this time.

However, before Zhu Xi could open his mouth.

Zhu Yunxie has already continued: "Second Uncle! My nephew is back! If there is any difficulty, my nephew will definitely help me, and I will never leave my second uncle alone! When I turn around, my nephew will give my second uncle a round of applause!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi had already raised his footsteps before Zhu Tian could react.

After a long time, Zhu Xi, who opened his mouth wide, slowly reacted.

He took a look at Zhu Yunxi who had gone far away.

Zhu Xi immediately stretched out his finger and said angrily, "Zhu Zi! Shu Zi! Don't leave! Today I won't..."

"father!"

"father!"

"He is the supervisor, the grandson of the emperor!"

"We can't talk nonsense anymore."

Before his father was about to completely lose control, Zhu Shangbing finally saw something bad, rushed up from behind, hugged his father, and then covered his mouth with his hand.

Zhu Gaochi also rushed over with his people.

Before Zhu Yu wanted to break free, he immediately shouted to the surroundings: "Quick! Quickly lead the horse to the grandson, and let the grandson return to the palace to face the saint."

"Come again, His Royal Highness King Qin is suffering from hysteria, and quickly called the sedan chair, so that my second uncle can rest well."

Zhu Xi, who was covered by his own son and hugged and supported by a group of nephews, could only widen his eyes, and pointed at Zhu Yunxi who had gone away angrily.

Not a human being!
We are really going to be killed!
　Did you guess wrong~ Hehe~ But there will still be a little aunt from the Xu family~
