The towering and rugged rocks and huge peaks were inserted between the sky and the earth like Xuan pen. The gray rock walls and the rich plants showed a strong sense of contrast, but under the pouring of a heavy rain, they all became hazy.

Ruan Dacheng was hiding in the misty cliff cave and gasping for breath, fleeing west from Wuchang Mansion. He did not stop for a moment, and he himself did not know what perseverance made him run here.

It was impossible for the officers and soldiers of the court to search here because there was not even a population here, and even Ruan Dacheng himself did not know where this place was.

He caught the half rabbit on the rack and was roasting on fire by chance, but it had already made him happy for a whole day.

Now he is very down and out. His clothes are already ragged because of running all the way, one of his shoes has fallen off, and the scarf on his head has long disappeared.

Ruan Dacheng was very depressed, and suddenly became in pain.

Yes, he couldn't help but feel depressed. When he thought of his opposition to Ma Shiying's commercial tax and His Majesty's current strictness towards the literati and officials, he prompted him to stand opposite to the court.

He thought that in this resentful Ming Dynasty, he could easily support a vassal king or other political forces and reshuffle the world's pattern.

But what he never expected was how helpless people like them were in reality. He clearly remembered the eyes of the people at that time, and even the villagers ignored him while he was running away.

In the past, they were all the scholars and officials who looked at these common people condescendingly, but now when he came to seek protection from these common people, he also encountered indifferent treatment.

The highest ruler and the lowest ruled always have a close relationship, while the middle rulers are more likely to be hated by the highest rulers and more likely to be hated by the lowest rulers.

Just as Ruan Dacheng felt now, he saw with his own eyes that some wealthy people provided livestock to the spiritual throne with the statue of Emperor Taizu Gao, and refused to give charity to scholars like him.

...

"Your cousin is Ruan Dacheng, and he said that my decree will make you Zhu Huakui's side room?"

After listening to Wei Min'er's retelling, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but get angry. He didn't expect that he almost missed Wei Min'er because of Ruan Dacheng's words.

Wei Min'er nodded. She was still blushed when she was hugged by His Majesty the current emperor. She lowered her head and fiddled with her cuffs, and said, "Yes, I guess my cousin is intending to make friends with the King of Chu."

"What a good cousin," Zhu Youxiao sneered, then shouted loudly again: "Wang Cheng'en!"

Only then did Wang Chengen run in quickly: "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

"I sent an order to order Ruan Dacheng to be searched for Ruan Dacheng with all my capitals and 13 provinces. I want to see people alive and die to see corpses." Zhu Youxiao said that, and turned around and left Wei Min'er's room. Wei Min'er chased him out, raised her hand and wanted to greet him, but she didn't open her mouth in the end. Zhu Youxiao did not look back. Although Yu Guang was also glancing behind, he thought that he was now the enemy who killed his father, Zhu Youxiao was a little hesitant.

However, just as Zhu Youxiao took a few steps, he suddenly turned around.

She kept peeking at Wei Min'er suddenly hiding into the house and looking outside through the crack in the door. For some reason, she was always used to avoiding Zhu Youxiao's gaze, but she was unconsciously attracted by his gaze.

But Zhu Youxiao smiled rare at this time: "You are free to move. Since you have come to this Huguang area, you can go out and have fun and see the mountains and rivers of my Ming Dynasty."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao turned around and left. This time the time was much faster. With a wave of his hand, he quickly walked towards Wuchang Mansion on the shore. Qin Botong hurriedly followed: "Your Majesty, our imperial guards and navy are coming next?"

"Go back to the camp, Yan Yingyuan's recruitment of Gu Sanmazi is probably going to come to an end. This Gu Sanmazi is different from other pirates. He has some loyalty. Although he has never been close to the government, he does not disturb the people. He is very famous in the local area. You are ready to incorporate them at that time, especially ideological education and discipline. The source of soldiers of my Imperial Guard will not only be recruiting, but a large part of the future will be the inclusion of these bandits, the officers and soldiers of the garrison station. How to transform them needs to be explored step by step. Do you understand?"

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Qin Botong couldn't help but salute: "Do you understand?"

"It's good to understand, let's go back. Your department is mainly targeting Zheng's family in the future, and send more spies to touch their bottom." Zhu Youxiao said that, and saw Li Mingrui coming, and asked, "Have you executed all?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu has been burned to powder. In addition, King Zhu Huakui of Chu and his relatives were all drowned in the river because their ship suddenly leaked. Now people have salvaged the body of King Zhu Huakui of Chu."

After Li Mingrui answered, Zhu Youxiao sighed: "I'm really careless, okay, let's tell the world that the King of Chu Zhu Huakui accidentally drowned. I can't bear to be punished again. All other slaves, maids and other relatives will be pardoned."

"Your Majesty is kind", Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.

Zhu Youxiao just smiled and asked again: "Have the King of Chu's family property been released?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I found that 2.12 million mu of land were handed over to the Royal Village, and the Imperial Village and the Ministry of Revenue jointly organized the people of Huguang to contract the land, and mobilized the original tenant farmers to contract. In addition, there are fifteen pawnshops and six pharmacies, including their houses, which have been handed over to the Royal Bank for sale at a discount."

After Li Mingrui answered, Zhu Youxiao nodded and smiled: "In this way, the Two Capital Avenues of the Minister of Works, Huo Weihua, can be repaired for another section."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Have Qi Changguo, a thousand households in Yiyang Institute, arrived?"

"Your Majesty, you have arrived in Wuchang City and are waiting in the Palace Academy." After Li Mingrui replied, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered: "I will summon you to see this general. I want to see this tiger son."

Qi Jiguang's descendants had few famous descendants in the late Ming Dynasty, but this did not mean that Qi Jiguang's descendants were really ordinary and useless. Sometimes it depends on the current situation to choose who to block the hero.

Qi Changguo was able to manage Yiyang in an orderly manner and even capture Zuo Liangyu alive. It can be seen that he is not an incompetent person, but he still has Qi Jiguang's excellent genes.

Qi Changguo walked to Zhu Youxiao and was about to bow and salute when Zhu Youxiao helped him up: "I am going on a casual outfit this time, and I will be exempted from all red tape, so I don't have to be restricted."
