Chapter 910 Greed

Zhu Xu stood in front of Dali Temple, watching, listening, and then shook his head secretly after a while.

Amid the discussion, the polarization was obvious, and ordinary people were scolding each other. This was their instinctive hatred for corrupt officials, and they could curse them from the bottom of their hearts at almost any time.

The second type is people with a little bit of identity or above. They think that it is not a big deal to marry a prostitute if they are greedy for money. The court makes a fuss and is not tolerant enough, which will backfire.

Zhu Xu looked at the increasing crowds in front of Dali Temple and said to Cao Huachun, "Did you see it? The people's requirements are actually not high. On the contrary, those rich and powerful people have many demands and more demands. If they have a little restraint, they will be dissatisfied and can't stand it and start to make trouble..."

Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu and said silently for a while: "It is easy to go from poverty to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This is probably the reason."

“Inaccurate,”

Zhu Xu stood up and said, "This is caused by human greed. If you have a little, you want more. If you have more, you will never be satisfied. If you don't have strict constraints early, mark the red line clearly and cooperate with a guillotine to deter it, otherwise no one will stop. It will only become more severe and constantly bump into the bottom line. In the end, like an ant, you will eat all the food in this country..."

Cao Huachun heard what Zhu Xu meant and said softly: "People die for money, birds die for food, and others ignore them."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "This is a bit close, so the most important thing is that if the first time is not punished, there will be a second and third time, endless, and more and more excessive, until the burden is hard to return, and he collapses with a sudden collapse. My Ming Dynasty was so corrupt that some people no longer know what the bottom line is, and they forget their original intentions, and they only know how to fight for power and profit in the court, and they are greedy..."

Cao Huachun felt Zhu Xu feel a little moved, and said in cooperation: "Your Majesty, the Donglin Party will no longer be in full swing for this judgment of Qian Qianyi. Even if there is no old debt to be regained in a hundred years, there is no need to worry."

The civil servant group is the most revengeful and the best group of people who settle accounts after the fall. Today they bow their heads. It won’t take long to find ways to overturn the case, embellish their past pure, clean, open and upright, and then continue, repeating their relationship, breaking all the rules into pieces.

A vivid example is Emperor Taizong. Now more and more people have accepted it or are used to calling it Chengzu, and there are also many people who have overturned the case for Jianwen. Although Jianwen has already overturned the case, many people still feel that it is not thorough enough and want to completely nail Zhu Di to death!

Zhu Xu has done so much and has too many flaws. If one day later generations have different views on this history, as long as he is pieced together, he can be put into the ranks of "unlucky kings", and then he will be added with various words, "meaning and merciless", "narrow-minded", "hesitant", "conspirator", etc. As long as it is a negative vocabulary, almost all of them can fall on him, and he will never turn over afterwards!

If someone leads the rhythm, I am afraid that Zhu Xu's temple name and posthumous title can be changed, becoming like Zhu Di, with mixed reputations and criticisms, and becoming a "taboo" word, everyone knows, just not asking or questioning, not arguing or disagreeing, and letting time eliminate it.

If Zhu Xu is denied, then all the cliques such as Donglin are doing right. With this reason, they can do whatever they want, and even become more unscrupulous!

Zhu Xu never cared about his past affairs. The so-called "Eternal Merit Theory, which has its own comments from future generations" is a kind of helplessness. It cannot stop others' ideas in the present world, so how can we control it in the future?

The most important thing is to live now, do everything you think and do your best, leaving no troubles. As for the rest, it is really 'let the future generations comment'.

"Go back."

Zhu Xu let go of his hands and moved his hands. He didn't sleep all night last night, and now he's going to take a look.

Cao Huachun nodded and was about to call the carriage. Wang Yizhou stepped forward and whispered: "Master, there are two women who have been watching you."

Zhu Xu was stunned and turned to look. He saw two women in white standing not far away, looking at him from a distance, but because he was wearing a trouser head, he couldn't see his true appearance clearly. He looked at him with the intention of inquiring.

Liu Rushi also saw Zhu Xu's gaze. This familiar and unfamiliar face appeared again, and she was a little afraid of walking forward.

Su Xi looked at Zhu Xu and then looked at Liu Rushi, thinking that this man was young and a royal family. The emperor's closeness was much better than Qian Qianyi.

Her eyes moved slightly, she bit her lip gently, stretched out her hand, and pushed her behind Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi was caught off guard and staggered forward, with a messy look on his face, turned to look at Su Xi.

Su Xi stepped forward and whispered in Liu Rushi's ear: "Miss, you can't miss it anymore, otherwise you won't know when it will be next time you see you."

Liu Rushi looked at her, turned to look at Zhu Xu again, her eyes suddenly set, a stiff smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she walked forward.

As the two approached, the guard beside Zhu Xu quietly stepped forward, touching the weapons on his body.

Zhu Xu looked at the two of them curiously, comparing their understanding in his heart.

"Brother Zhu." Before Liu Rushi could approach, he took off his cloak and said softly.

Speaking of which, there were only a handful of women named Zhu Xu, and when he heard the sound, he immediately remembered it. He made a gesture calmly and said with a smile, "It turns out it's Miss Liu."

The guards did not dare to be careless, and stopped, and were still eyeing them.

Liu Rushi noticed that he didn't care, and his face was full of reserved smiles. He took a breath and walked over in a panic and said, "It's a coincidence to meet Brother Zhu here."

Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at Dali Temple not far away, looked at Liu Rushi again, and smiled a little more, saying, "This is also a major event in Beijing. Come and see it in person. Miss Liu must be here to rescue this Lord Qian, right?"

When Su Xi heard the words, she looked nervous. Just as she was about to explain, Liu Rushi said, "Brother Zhu misunderstood. My younger sister came to Beijing and wanted to ask Brother Zhu for advice on some things."

Zhu Xu still has a good impression of this strange woman, and she doesn't mind chatting with her, and smiles and says, "What do Miss Liu want to ask?"

The noise near Dali Temple suddenly increased, and many people started to take action, and many people scattered out, making the sky full of noise.

Liu Rushi glanced at him, bit his lip slightly, and said, "Brother Zhu, can you tell my younger sister where to visit me? I will visit me someday."

Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and his face showed thoughts. He said that he had settled a lot outside the palace, but he really didn't like a normal wealthy family.

Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Xu's expression and felt slightly calmer. He immediately smiled and said, "If it is inconvenient for the family in the mansion, I dare not disturb you. My younger sister lives in the east of the city and on the west side of the tribute courtyard. If Brother Zhu is free, my younger sister will sweep the bed to greet you."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "The place where I live is indeed a bit inconvenient. If I have time in the future, I will definitely visit Miss Liu."

Liu Rushi had already heard that the 'Brother Zhu' in front of him was already married and had a family, but as her identity, it was impossible to become a full-time wife. Although she was disappointed, she would not feel uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "That little sister is waiting for Brother Zhu, I wonder what book Brother Zhu has been reading recently?"

Zhu Xu was about to speak, but Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Young Master, the time is almost over."

Zhu Xu hoped to chat with Liu Rushi for a while. After thinking for a while, he said to Liu Rushi: "Miss Liu, I am rude today. I will definitely visit you next day."

Liu Rushi's eyes were a little disappointed and said with a normal expression: "My little sister is waiting for the good news."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned around and turned to the West Princess Gate. From here, you can enter Chengtian Gate, walk along the Daming Gate, and go straight back to the Ganqing Palace.

Liu Rushi looked at Zhu Xu's back and felt for some reason. She suddenly became calm instead of panic.

Su Xi whispered in Liu Rushi's ear: "Miss, why don't you leave him a new poem?"

There are many ways to "communicate" with each other on the Qinhuai River, and the communication between poems is considered high-level.

Liu Rushi's expression remained motionless and said softly: "Forgot."

Su Xi looked at her and felt that she had forgotten, but she couldn't guess why.

As soon as Zhu Xu turned to the West Princess Sect, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "The Empress Dowager wants you to prepare everything for the wedding and report it to her and say that you can't delay it anymore."

"Well, I understand." After this incident, Zhu Xu gained a new understanding of the red tape of the Ming Dynasty and hated it even more deeply.

When Zhu Xu arrived at the Ganqing Palace, there were a bunch of internal prisoners from Cining Palace and Renshou Palace, and the palace maids were already waiting.

Although Zhu Xu was not wearing any clothes, carrying those things, and without any various ceremonies, under the leadership of a group of internal supervisors, from the Ganqing Palace to the Zhongji Palace, to the Huangji Palace, and then to the Huangji Gate, he had to worship his ancestors and report to the Taimiao. After a series of ceremonies, even if it was just a simple walk and explanation, it took almost three hours.

Zhu Xu was tired, hungry and sleepy, so he forced himself to finish it.

Finally, Cao Huachun said: "Emperor, after the wedding, there are still many things to do. At that time, I will accompany the emperor, and it will basically end in three days."

Zhu Xu almost couldn't stand steadily. He had reserved three days at the beginning, but he wanted to have a buffer. He talked with the court officials and ministers outside the capital and made some preparations. Unexpectedly, the wedding would take three days!

"Go to the cabinet, I'll take a nap, and if someone looks for me, I'll say I'm busy." Zhu Xu waved his hand powerlessly, feeling a little sad.

Cao Huachun responded with a smile and accompanied Zhu Xu to the cabinet.

As soon as he entered the cabinet, Zhu Xu sent someone away, lay down in the small living room, and his mind was drowsy and about to sleep.

Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu was so tired that night, so he quietly closed the door and asked someone to guard him. Just as he was about to leave, King Jing came over.

"Eunuch Cao, is the emperor free?" King Jing glanced at the closed door and said in confusion.

Zhu Xu's door has always been the center of everyone's eyes. King Jing appeared here, either lightly or darkly, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring here.

Cao Huachun glanced at Yu Guang, looked at Prince Jing bowing slightly, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor is preparing for the wedding. He didn't sleep all night last night. He just previewed it again, and then he lay down and wanted to take a nap."

Some of the eyes not far away suddenly disappeared, and there were also sounds of doors and windows closing.

King Jing looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Dadfather-in-law, Xiao Wang has to present some things to the emperor. When the emperor wakes up, he will report it to him."

Cao Huachun smiled and said, "Okay, the miscellaneous family has recorded it."

At the same time, in Bi Ziyan's class room, several people discussed the matter and started "chat" with teacup in their arms.

Sun Chuanting held a music score in his hand and handed it to Bi Ziyan, saying, "This is a music composed by Wang Ling, a great master in Beijing. Look at it, the officials think it's good."

That is the national anthem.

Bi Ziyan and others were all people who were proficient in music. After watching carefully for a while, Bi Ziyan said: "This music is too high and contains the passion that goes straight to the sky, so it is probably not suitable."

Sun Chengzong thought about it secretly for a while and said, "I don't think it's suitable, and the emperor probably won't like it."

Sun Chuanting thought that Zhu Xu should like this high and passionate music score. After listening to the two of them, he said thoughtfully: "Then I will ask the emperor later. This is the pattern of the national flag. What do you think?"

As he said that, Sun Chuanting took out a colorful painting and spread it on Bi Ziyan's desk.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong stood side by side, staring at the small color paintings.

This is a golden dragon standing on the red Forbidden City, hovering up. On both sides of the dragon head are the sun and the moon facing each other, and the light is dazzling. On the left side of the golden dragon is the saint holding a book in his left hand, the ears of wheat in his right hand, and the cavalry and cannon on his right, and the background looks like Mount Tai.

It looks quite grand and spectacular.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other for a while, then looked at each other.

After a while, Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Is this too complicated?"

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and said, "This is collected from the six ministries. Zheng Youyuan asked many people to discuss it. Finally, he had a comprehensive opinion and had to come up with such a look."

Sun Chengzong looked motionless and said, "Although the meaning is full, based on my understanding of the emperor, he may not like such fancy things very much."

Sun Chuanting also realized the difficulties in the cabinet, and it was not easy to take care of all aspects.

Bi Ziyan looked at Sun Chuanting and laughed and said, "Baigu, don't worry, you have been in the cabinet for a short time and don't understand how the dynasty is now working. When the emperor wakes up, you go and ask for your opinion, and then go for a walk."

Sun Chengzong immediately understood and said, "Sir, do you mean to use the emperor's words to block these people's mouths?"

"That's right," Bi Ziyan said meaningfully: "In the future, whenever such complicated things happen, the emperor's words will be more useful than our broken legs."

Sun Chuanting's brows moved, then raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Bi Ziyan smiled and shook his head, saying, "You will know these things in a few days that our cabinet now has countless enemies. We are restricted when we should be using the emperor's banner. The emperor sometimes sees our abilities, but not the result."

Sun Chuanting understood, put away the colored paintings, and said, "The official understands that I will go to the emperor's place later. By the way, King Ping requested to allocate next year's money and food in advance to last until the beginning of next spring. What do you think?"

King Ping's main function in Bei'annan was to suppress, suppress Dorgon, suppress Yun. Nan and other places, generals and governors, who were far away from the sky, and also warned some countries on the Southeast Peninsula and declared the Ming Dynasty's determination.

The governor of Bei'annan was Wen Tiren, and now he is the leader of King Ping. Most of the memorials were sent to Beijing with King Ping.

Bi Ziyan pondered, saying that the reason why King Ping wanted to advance was because he cut the money and grain he gave to Bei'annan.
