Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 347 Zhu Gaoxuan: Treat guests, behead them, accept them as dogs
Zhu Gaoxuan's face was gloomy. Seeing his demeanor, even Yu Qian and Zhang Muzhi, two scoundrels who had always had no taboos, felt tremendous pressure and dared not speak.

Prince, this time I was really angry.

Zhu Gaoyi took a deep breath, and waved to Xiaoer: "Xiaoer, come here."

The little errand walked over, nodded and bowed and asked, "Guest officer, what's your order?"

Zhu Gaoxuan pointed to Lu Baye's table, and asked, "Who is that? From the tone of his voice, he looks like a big shot?"

"Oh, you said him, he is indeed a well-known big man on our street, Mr. Lu Ba."

Xiaoer whispered, "This Baye Lu was not actually surnamed Lu before, he was the eldest in the family, and he was a young man in our Yangzhou city. Later, this Baye got famous and joined the Lu family in Beicheng. Lu Shi, have you heard of it?"

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded: "I've heard a little bit about this. The Lu family in Beicheng is one of the seventeen families in Yangzhou Prefecture, and it can also be ranked among the top five forces in the entire seventeen families."

"The Lu family in Beicheng started out with a shady business, but it has developed rapidly. In the past few years, it has achieved its current status. Although it has a better reputation, it is actually the same."

This is not difficult to understand. Most of the powerful families were born in officials and officials.And people like Lu's, who started their fortune by doing some dirty work, will still be looked down upon by other families even if they become so rich.

Xiaoer said in a low voice, "After joining the Lu family in Beicheng, this eighth master was given the surname Lu, and he specially kicked Lu's family to do some physical work. But Lu Baye is indeed a good person, and he has a very good reputation on our street."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoyi was a little puzzled, "Tell me more."

Xiaoer said: "He paid for the meal."

"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxuan froze for a moment, "That's it?"

Xiaoer plausibly said: "Isn't it? The Yangzhou Seventeen Family, even the servants in the yard, are all unscrupulous masters when they go out. Ask in Yangzhou City, when will the members of the Yangzhou Seventeen Family Pay the bill for dinner outside. Hey, this Mr. Lu will settle the bill every time he finishes eating. Even if he occasionally goes out without money, he will make a note of it in his heart. When he comes next time, we don’t need to remind him, he will pay for it himself. Come on, this is not a good person."

Zhu Gaoyi was thoughtful: "This is really a good person."

While the two were talking, Baye Lu at the other table seemed to be eating and drinking well, so he yelled: "Xiaoer, pay the bill!"

"Here comes the eighth master."

Xiao Er winked at Zhu Gaoxuan and said, "Guest officer, I won't serve you for now, I will settle the bill with Ba Ye, and let me know if you have anything to do."

"Well, go ahead."

Zhu Gaoyi waved his hand, signaling Xiao Er to leave, then he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, his eyes were deep, and he was thinking about something.

Yu Qian smiled wryly and said: "Originally, it's a matter of course when paying the bill, but here, if you can pay the bill after eating, then you become a good person. What's the matter?"

Zhang Muzhi also shook his head: "That's because you haven't had any contact with the common people at the bottom, and you yourself were born as the young master of everyone. How can you see this? This kind of thing is actually very common among the people."

Yu Qian blushed a little and said nothing.

Zhang Muzhi was right, he really didn't know much about it.

His family was prominent, his great-grandfather served as an official, his great-grandfather was the chief manager of Hangzhou Road, and his grandfather was the head of the Ministry of Industry during the Hongwu period.Yu's influence in the Qiantang area is not insufficient. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, how could he understand the suffering of the people.

It is a blessing to have a prominent background, but now it makes Yu Qian feel ashamed.

When the few people were talking, that Lord Lu also left in a swaggering manner. When passing by this table, he glanced inadvertently, and happened to meet Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes were still deep, as if it was a bottomless pool, and he didn't know what kind of beasts were hiding in the ground, it was cold and depressing.

Baye Lu's body froze for a moment, and he quickened his pace to leave.

After he went out, the midday sun shone on his body, which dispelled his fear, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Someone around noticed something was wrong: "Ba Ye, what's wrong?"

Baye Lu frowned: "Have you seen the guest sitting at the table facing the street by the window just now?"

The person next to him tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I have no impression, I don't remember that there is such a person in Yangzhou City."

"Just now I looked at him, tsk, that behavior, that demeanor, absolutely can't be ordinary people."

Lu Baye rubbed his chin and thought about it, "It's not safe in Yangzhou now, there are mixed fish and dragons, and I don't know what the status of that young man is."

"How about the villain follow him and see his details?"

"No, you can't."

Mr. Lu shook his head, "We don't know the background of the other party. If he is really a big shot, our people go to follow him and get caught by someone. This will offend people. One more thing It’s better to have one less thing, just pretend you didn’t see it.”

……

Zhu Gaoxuan was walking on the streets of Yangzhou City, the streets were still bustling, but in his eyes, they were not the same as before.

He really underestimated the greed of the aristocratic family.

These people are full of greed in their bones. They thought they could negotiate peacefully, but never thought of the stubbornness of the other party. They would rather lose their heads than contribute money and effort.His crown prince came in person, but a mere mansion dared to fight against him.

This is because the magistrate Kang of Yangzhou has an overall view and is helping to make the aristocratic families pay the food, but it still doesn't work.If some local officials colluded with local forces, what the court said would really be no different from bullshit in their eyes.

Imperial power can only circulate at the upper level, but cannot be delegated to the lower level. The lower level forms its own system, ignoring the existence of the upper level.As a result, the ruling power of the imperial power has declined greatly. It only has deterrent power but no direct ruling power. It is not even a ruler. The royal family is just the largest family in the world.

"Muzhi."

"Your Majesty is here, please give me instructions."

"You ask Kang Shike to come and see Gu."

Zhu Gaoxuan looked indifferently, raised his hand and said, "Yangzhou, let Gu down."

"I wanted to leave a way for them to survive, but now it seems that I am acting alone."

"Let's send them to see Yan Luo together."

Zhang Muzhi lowered his head, not daring to look at His Highness's current expression, his waist was bent very low, his forehead was densely covered with tiny beads of sweat, it wasn't just that the noon sun was too hot, but also the pressure in his heart was too heavy.

……

The magistrate Kang returned to the government office in a hurry. The official house where he lived was now a temporary residence for the crown prince, so he had to retreat to the guest room.

When he walked to the door of the upper room of the official house, he found that there was a group of armored soldiers patrolling outside the door, and they stopped him immediately.

"Who is coming, tell me your name!"

"Kang Shike, the magistrate of Yangzhou, is ordered by His Royal Highness to have an audience with you. Please go in and let me know."

"Well, you wait at the door."

The sergeant looked the mansion lord up and down before walking in.

And Zhifu Kang's back was already drenched in cold sweat. He could see that the soldiers stationed in front of the gate were not those guards who farmed the fields and basked in the sun, but were actually fighting at the border. A gentleman, showing fierceness and majesty from top to bottom.

Although he has only met the prince twice, the magistrate Kang knows that the other party is not the kind of person who is very happy to do his best, and is very easy-going and easy to get along with.For these sergeants to appear at this time, it must be that something happened when the other party was patrolling Yangzhou City.

Not long after, the sergeant came out of the room and said, "His Royal Highness let you in."

"Okay, excuse me, Your Excellency."

The magistrate Kang walked into the courtyard, but he saw that the prince was sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, tasting Qingming. He kowtowed and saluted: "Chen Kang Shike, please see His Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness, best wishes and golden safety."

Seeing the visitor, Zhu Gaoyi smiled and said, "The tea here is very good."

The other party didn't say no, and the magistrate Kang didn't dare to get up, so he could only continue to kneel and bow his head and said, "This is the tea planted by my old family. If His Highness likes it, let the old family grow more and plant all the tea in the field. Tea, in order to honor the prince."

"Oh, that's what you thought."

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded slightly, "Gu came to the south for a tour, what do you want, you don't have to hide anything, just tell Gu openly."

The magistrate Kang lowered his head, hesitated again and again, and said, "North collects grain and grass."

"You understand very well that there is a shortage of grain and grass in the Northern Expedition, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has money but no grain. No matter how rich the country is, there is no way to grow two mu of grain from one mu of land."

The corners of Zhu Gaoyi's mouth curled slightly, "Now just because of Gu's words, you want to let the people of a place turn their fields into tea. What do you think of us?"

The magistrate Kang quickly kowtowed and said: "I am stupid, I made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Stupid, why?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said leisurely, "Yanchun returns and nests in the forest. Under the Buddhist raccoon temple, there is a shrine drum. Flying light and flying light, I advise you to have a glass of wine. I don't know the sky is high and the yellow ground is thick. I only see the moon is cold and the sun is warm. Come fry life."

"Send to pedestrians not to cover their noses, the fragrance of the living is not as good as that of the dead."

The magistrate Kang turned pale with fright, thinking what kind of evil poem his prince was reciting, just listening to it made people feel terrified.

Zhu Gaoyi stretched out his hand and raised up three fingers: "In my mind, I only think about three things. Guess which three things are they?"

Kang Zhifu shook his head, how could he guess it.

Zhu Gaoxuan said slowly: "Treat the guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs."

"These three things, you can figure it out."

"I'm lonely, you step back."

……

Prefect Kang went out, carefully recalling what the crown prince said, frowning.

Treat guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.

What does this mean?

Who to treat, whose head to be beheaded, who to accept as a dog?
and many more……

The magistrate Kang had an epiphany. The crown prince certainly didn't want to chop off his head when he was talking to him like this. There was no reason to tell the other party in advance before he planned to kill someone.

In this way, that means...

Yangzhou Seventeen!
"No, at the end of the day, I was the first to treat guests, I was the first to beheaded, and I was the first to be a dog?"

Only then did Kang Zhifu come to his senses.

At the beginning of the reception, the crown prince left a step for him, which was a treat.

In the end, the combination of kindness and majesty has already scared him enough today. This is beheading.

Even now, he is doing things for the other party tremblingly, which is acting like a dog.

Invisibly, the other party let him, the magistrate, become a puppet in the palm of his hand, until now he can react for the first time.

Kang Zhifu smiled wryly: "If you are a dog, just be a dog. How many people want to be a dog if you can be a dog for the prince. I hope the prince will not treat me as an abandoned son in the end, and leave me an old bone. A way to survive, so that the birds will not use up their bows and kill them when they are used up."

……

"Sir, why do you need to borrow the power of the magistrate Kang? It's so troublesome. We came with soldiers. If you give an order, I'll just ransack all the seventeen houses in Yangzhou?" Yu Qian asked puzzled.

Zhu Gaoyi glanced at him: "If you want Daming to perish, you can just say so."

Yu Qian was puzzled: "Sir, what do you mean by this? The students are absolutely loyal to Daming. Why did you ever think about letting my Ming Dynasty perish?"

"Because you don't know what you mean by what you say."

Zhu Gaoxuan said coldly, "Gu Nan Xun represents the imperial court and the emperor. People all over the world are watching us. They know that Gu Nan Xun is to deal with the aristocratic families in the south. And the first stop , even Yangzhou, they also want to see how Gu deals with the Yangzhou family."

"Do you really think that the seventeen families in Yangzhou are just these seventeen families?"

"Innocent, when people all over the world focus on this, the significance of any action will be infinitely magnified. These seventeen families in Yangzhou now represent the world's top families!"

"If Gu Ruo uses his previous style of copying the house directly, the grass will be cut off. How can we get rid of the roots? Wouldn't the world's aristocratic families suddenly feel ashamed? Gu can kill all seventeen families in Yangzhou, why can't he use the same method? How about killing them all?"

"If that's the case, you say that the aristocratic families in the world will still sit obediently. There is a knife hanging above their heads, and it will fall down at any time. If it were you, would you choose to use this knife? Take off the knife, or just sit and wait to die?"

"All the world is against!"

"Why do you think the [-]th family in Yangzhou are so confident, because they know that Gu will not do it directly, they know it well, and they can only use conventional means to deal with them, and they can't overthrow the table."

Yu Qian felt a little aggrieved: "It's unreasonable, these people are really lawless."

"Lawless? You underestimated them, this is the beginning, the real storm is yet to come. You are too young, boy, study hard."

Zhu Gaoxuan swung his sleeves and sat firmly on the chair, looking at the distant horizon, "Actually, it's a good thing that the world focuses on this."

Yu Qian asked: "Sir, this is not good for us, is it a good thing?"

"Of course there is, but you didn't see it."

Zhu Gaoxuan said indifferently, "The settlement of the seventeen families in Yangzhou is actually equivalent to the settlement of all the aristocratic families in the world in disguise. If you don't want to have trouble, you have to compromise with Gu. From then on, if Gu wants food, they have to honestly send it to you." Come here, if you want money, they have to submit it with nods and bows."

"This is a war, and it has been waged since the moment I left Beijing."

"I just want to see if they can make me bow my head, or if I let them kneel down first!"
