Han Dynasty Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu was playing with his little cotton-padded jacket.
Concubine Wei is getting fatter and plumper, looking at the father and daughter with a happy smile on her face.
At this moment, the palace steward Zhu Erba walked in hurriedly.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed, handed his daughter over to Concubine Wei, and hurried to the main hall.
I saw the new interview envoy Zhou Chen and a man with a gloomy face waiting for me.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Gaoxu had some guesses in his mind.
"Are you from Jinyiwei?"
"Liu Zhong, who is in the humble position of commander of the Jinyi Guards, is here to meet the prince!"
Without any hesitation, Liu Zhong knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully.
Zhou Chen couldn't handle this scene, because he had already sat down on the chair.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Liu Zhong who was kneeling on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he sighed: "Liu Zhong? Are you Zhang Fu's man?"
Liu Zhong just called him "Prince" instead of "His Royal Highness the King of Han"!
Just this small detail is enough to prove that he is Zhang Fu's secret child.
"Reporting to the prince, I am humble enough to be the confidant of the Commander-in-Chief."
"Hmm...where are Nie Xing and Yao Guangxiao? Do you know?"
Zhu Gaoxu did not dwell on this question, but asked what he was most concerned about.
On the day Zhang Fu attacked the East Palace, Zhu Gaoxu ordered Nie Xing to monitor Zhang Fu and try to find out Zhang Fu's true purpose.
However, the plan could never catch up with the changes. Zhang Fu directly attacked the East Palace and triggered a series of changes. Nie Xing and Yao Guangxiao were also missing, and their lives and deaths are unknown to this day.
To this day, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't know whether Nie Xing is alive or dead. It seems that this guy has been regarded as an accomplice of Zhang Fu and his head is in a different place!
Liu Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard this and explained in a low voice: "That day, Nie Qianhu sneaked into the commander's backyard and was discovered by us. He was in trouble. The commander remembered his old relationship and did not kill Nie Qianhu, but restrained him. Kill him!"
"Your Majesty ordered me to stay at the Fu Si Yamen. Once the Forbidden Army came to encircle and suppress me, I immediately surrendered and put all the charges on him. Nie Qianhu and Yao Guangxiao also fell into the hands of the Forbidden Army. I didn't know that they were there." Where are you now?"
Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and then cursed loudly.
"Zhu Di!"
"You thief!"
"I'm not done with you!"
This damned thief not only refused to deal with Yao Guangxiao, but also detained Nie Xing. He was giving himself eye drops!
However, Zhu Gaoxu still felt a little puzzled. After all, since Zhang Fu decided to risk his own life to attack the East Palace, why did he keep Liu Zhong as his confidant?
"Why did Zhang Fu keep you?"
"My lord asked me to convey a message to the prince!"
"Say it!"
"Your Majesty, it was Ah Fu who asked my brother to tell the truth!"
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and stood stunned on the spot.
Zhang Fu deliberately asked Zhang Min to inform Zhu Di?
Why?
Why did he do this?
This damn idiot!
In an instant, Zhu Gaoxu was furious!
Only now did he finally understand that this bastard Zhang Fu wanted to die!
He had long seen through Yao Guangxiao's instigation, but he pretended not to notice, deliberately cooperated with Yao Guangxiao to fake his death, deliberately followed Yao Guangxiao's suggestions, but secretly set up a dead end for himself!
No wonder Zhu Di returned to Beijing in a hurry without telling anyone!
No wonder Zhang Xi suddenly rebelled and ignored his blood and family ties!
No wonder Zhang Fu went to death without hesitation, and before he died, he released Big Fatty!
This was all Zhang Fu’s plan from the beginning!
From the beginning, he never thought of attacking and killing the prince and grandson!
What Zhang Fu wants is to use his own death and his own life to awaken the Han King Zhu Gaoxu's desire to seize the heir!
"Use Ah Fu's bones to build the prince's imperial path!"
Oh, how ridiculous!
If I really want to seize the throne, if I really want to be the emperor, do you need Zhang Fu's life?
You damn fool!
Liu Zhong touched his head to the ground and cried: "I humbly ask you, Your Highness, not to live up to your expectations!"
"After my lord made the plan, he changed hands and asked the subordinate to impeach him. Only in this way did he save his life!"
"Bizhi doesn't understand why the adults are doing this, but the adults tell me that all this is worth it..."
"That's enough!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
He didn't expect that Zhang Fu, a bastard, would be so ruthless and leave no room for anything!
Even if he sent himself on the road, he still did it so resolutely and even left many backup plans!
Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu, I wish I could beat you to death!
Zhu Gaoxu let out a long sigh, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and looked at Zhou Chen and Liu Zhong.
"Zhou Chen, when you go to Jiangnan, whether it's to inspect official fields or to pay taxes, remember these four words, bear the burden equally!"
"No matter how powerful the gentry is, no matter what big names are behind them, the taxes they should pay must not be less. If these bitches still default on their taxes and are unwilling to pay them, we will confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, and kill them as a warning to others!"
"However, for those ordinary people who are already suffering so much, I hope you have a scale in your mind to reduce or reduce what should be reduced, and eliminate what should be eliminated!"
"Those local officials allocate taxes from the powerful gentry to the common people. Now you should do the opposite. No matter how much money the common people have lost, you can also allocate it to the powerful gentry. After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, I believe they will not I really risk my life for money!”
Hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Zhou Chen nodded hurriedly.
To put it bluntly, Prince Han wants him to be treated with double standards, and it is a double standard that is completely opposite to that of local officials!
After all, in the land of Jiangnan, the real rich are the powerful gentry!
And the common people have long been overwhelmed by various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Let alone the reminder to pay taxes, if these common people are really pushed into a hurry, it may even cause death.
What the court wants to see, or rather what the court wants to get, is the taxes and grain arrears that the powerful Jiangnan powers have owed over the years!
And this is also his mission goal for Zhou Chen!
The poorest are the common people, and the richest are the gentry and powerful people!
So, where should this tax money come from?
Naturally, he is a powerful gentry!
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Liu Zhong again and said in a deep voice: "You also know the current situation of your Jin Yiwei!"
"This time I follow Zhou Chen to investigate the official fields in the south of the Yangtze River. This is the last chance for your Jin Yiwei to make a comeback. You must seize it firmly and prove to His Majesty the Emperor that you and other Jin Yiwei still have the value of existence!"
"The reason why this king asked the Jin Yiwei to go to Jiangnan is to leave a way out for you. Anyway, the Jin Yiwei has long been notorious, so there is no need to worry about anything when going to Jiangnan. Kill those who should be killed, and arrest those who should be arrested. Take out the Jin Yiwei Come on!"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the two of them, with endless fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
"You two, this battle in Jiangnan is the first battle with far-reaching consequences!"
"If this battle is won, I will take the opportunity to pull more people off their horses and knock them into dust. They will never be able to stand up again!"
"I have my king in charge of the capital. No matter what the outside rumors say, you two just need to believe in me. As long as I am in the capital, you two can do whatever you want!"
"Go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, I will support you!"
