Chapter 169: See Who's Ruthless
Chapter 169 Let’s see who is ruthless
"Oh..." After listening to Zhu Yousong's words, Yue Su nodded and said calmly: "The prince said that these lands belong to you, but do you have the land deeds for me to see?"
"This... land deed... when the rebels entered the city, I was in such a hurry that I couldn't take care of the land deed. Now that the land deed has been burned by the rebels, I can't get it out." Zhu Yousong began to hesitate.
But then he took a tough tone.
"My lord, you said that all the land deeds have been burned. How can you prove that all the land is yours? Anyone can say it in vain. If you say that the entire land in Henan is yours, will I want to take the entire land in Henan?
I’ll give you all the land.” Yue Su said with a smile.
"You...Yue Su...what do you mean by this? Do you think you don't believe me anymore..." Zhu Yousong is also a pampered master. When did anyone dare to talk to him like this? His attitude immediately changed.
Yue Su had a cold look on his face. He stopped calling Mr. Yue and just changed his name.
"It doesn't matter whether I believe the prince or not. What's important is, when Li Zicheng came, why didn't the prince protect his land and left instead? Before the official arrived with his army, why didn't the prince ask Li Zicheng for the land?
You have to wait for the official to arrive and ask for land from him? What do you mean, my lord?"
"I..." Yue Su directly told Zhu Yousong that he was right, and asked him to take care of Li Zicheng's land. He probably had to kill Li Zicheng before they met.
However, Zhu Yousong was also a person with a temper. Seeing that Yue Su didn't give him face, he immediately got angry and shouted: "Yue Su, don't toast me and eat as a fine. If you don't return those lands to me now, I will do it myself."
Ask the court for it, and when the time comes, the emperor will issue an order to see if you will give it to me!"
"Your Majesty, please help yourself." Yue Su smiled slightly, and after saying that, he ignored Zhu Yousong and walked straight forward.
Seeing such a scene, the officials on the side were stunned. They really did not expect that Mr. Yue would dare to talk to the prince like this. However, when thinking of Mr. Yue's past style, it seemed that this was nothing.
Governor Xiong Wenhuan was a little dumbfounded, but he understood that Lord Yue could not be offended. When he saw Yue Su walking past Zhu Yousong, he could only abandon Zhu Yousong and accompany Yue Su into the city. The officials present followed Yue Su into the city one after another.
He paid no attention to King Fu Qiansui, but left Zhu Yousong where he was.
Zhu Yousong's stomach was full of fire now, his teeth were clenched, and he cursed in his heart: "Yue Su, just wait for me."
"My lord, please calm down..." Seeing Zhu Yousong's appearance, an eunuch nearby quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Calm down, how can I calm down? Yue Su dares to divide my family's land privately. Does he still have the king's law, does he still care about the court, and does he still have me as the prince? Hum, I must let him see my
Awesome, tomorrow, if not now, I will write an excerpt to participate in it now!"
Generally speaking, when facing the enemy, many people have no courage to resist, but when they meet their own people, they have no courage. This lucky king is like this. When Li Zicheng attacked, he was so frightened that he fell into despair.
And to escape, he didn't even want the palace. Now that he was recovering the lost land, he had to get his own land back immediately.
He could write excerpts and consult Yue Su. Of course, Yue Su could not be idle. He went into Luoyang City to inspect, and sent people to surrounding areas to check the resettlement situation of the refugees. At the same time, he issued orders to mobilize food, appease the people, and encourage farming.
As a landowner, you can now find any place to farm, with four acres per household. The local government will issue you a land deed, and you will receive free grain for three years.
After this decree was issued, the people of Henan cheered and cheered. More importantly, the food relief was gradually delivered, solving many problems.
Of course, Master Yue was not idle after returning to his camp. He wrote a memorial himself and sent someone to Beijing.
Don't look at Zhu Yousong's zhezi, which left earlier than Yue Su's, but Master Yue's zhezi took the water route, arriving at Tongzhou day and night by speedboat, and then quickly sent it to the capital, which was much faster than Fu Wang's zhezi.
As soon as the memorial arrived at the cabinet, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole of Beijing. It turned out that the contents of Master Yue's memorial were too cruel. First, he took all the blame from King Fu, was mean and ungrateful, and made things difficult for the people of Henan at every turn. In the end, the people rebelled and welcomed the rebellion.
If King Fu had not bullied the people too much in the past, he would not have organized a "Fu Lu Banquet" to eat him. Also, Henan has just been recovered, and in order to appease the refugees, I gave them the land they cultivated.
, but at this time, King Fu came to snatch the land. I asked him for the land deed, but not only could he not get it, he also made excuses and insisted that I give him all the land that had been allocated to the people. If I do this, those people will inevitably die.
If he rebels again, then the good situation will inevitably collapse, and the ministers will suppress it, so they have to resign and go into seclusion. I believe that as a prince of the imperial court, Prince Fu does not want to repay the emperor's favor and only cares about his own selfish interests. His heart is to be punished. But after all, he is the late emperor's son.
Uncle, the prince of the imperial court, can't do anything to him without rebellion. However, it is really not suitable for Prince Fu Chitose to become a vassal in Henan, otherwise war will inevitably start again. I hope the emperor will give him another place.
When the cabinet ministers saw this memorial, they were all dumbfounded. Their first reaction was to send it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and let the Queen Mother make her own decision.
At present, Zou Yi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, is ill and cannot come out to take care of affairs. All affairs are taken over by Liu Minguo. When he saw Yue Su's memorial, he broke out in a cold sweat and transferred fiefdoms to the vassal king. How could he be a minister?
should be brought up.
But since Yue Su fell into this trap, he didn't dare to fight back, so he could only bite the bullet and go to Cining Palace to hand it over to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan is now in a much better mood than before. Yue Su has regained a large area of lost territory almost without a single blow. At this moment, only Li Zicheng is left. When Yue Qing's troops enter Sichuan, they will probably be able to capture him easily.
But in this position, Zhang Yan also has a headache, that is, now that Zou Yi is ill, the candidates for the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies need to be changed. There are only two candidates who are most qualified to take over. One is Liu Mingguo.
One is Cao Huachun. Compared to Cao Huachun, Liu Mingguo is of course more suitable. It can be said that Liu Mingguo could have directly succeeded Wei Zhongxian back then, but he was forced to stop him and gave it to Zou Yi. Now that Zou Yi is no longer good, he can't give up anymore.
Liu Mingguo and Liu Mingguo were together. But from the bottom of her heart, Zhang Yan especially hoped that Cao Huachun would take over. It was really embarrassing.
At this moment, Liu Minguo presented Yue Su's memorial. Zhang Yan expected that it must be something related to the front line. Maybe it was Lord Yue who had promised some idle officials. This kind of thing was accurate. But when she looked through the memorial
Look, she was dumbfounded after only reading half of it. When she finished reading the memorial, she was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Zhang Yancai said: "You have also read this document submitted by the Liu Qing family and the Yue Qing family. What do you think?"
On the way here, Liu Minguo expected that Zhang Yan might ask him what he would think, so he had already thought of his words. He bowed and said: "Queen Mother, I think Master Yue's proposal is right. Master Yue has already divided the land."
If the refugees who have been recruited are taken back by force, it will inevitably cause panic. Maybe the court will get rich because of the government's broken promise. Once they start to rebel again, it will be really not good for the court. But Lord Yue's request to let King Fu move out of the fiefdom is inevitably a bit excessive. After all, the old man
King Fu has just passed away, and the court is so chilling. The servant thinks that the court only needs to urge King Fu to strictly abide by his duties and not cause trouble in the future. As for those lands, the court is in other places to provide him with some.
, just let him have something to say, that should be enough."
It's better for him because he can't offend both sides. This is not to blame for Liu Mingguo's difficulty. He is worried that if he really speaks for Yue Su and changes the fiefdom for Prince Fu, the Queen Mother will definitely be dissatisfied, which will not be of any benefit to him. The Queen Mother
He won't touch Yue Su, but the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Eunuch, I'm afraid it will never be his turn again.
After hearing this satisfactory answer, Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said: "What the Qing family said is very reasonable. It is indeed a bit excessive to ask Zhu Yousong to move out of the fiefdom. After all, his father just passed away not long ago. How could the imperial court do this? Okay, you go first
Go down."
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
Liu Mingguo exited the Cining Palace, feeling very happy. From Zhang Yan's tone, he could tell that Zhang Yan was very satisfied with his answer. As long as the Queen Mother was satisfied, he would be safe. He could fight both sides of Yue Su and the Queen Mother.
, that is the best choice.
Zhang Yan is indeed very satisfied with Liu Mingguo's suggestion. After all, this matter is too big to ask the vassal king to move out of the fiefdom. How can it be said from your mouth, Yue Su. If the court is correct, in the end, this world will belong to you Yue Su.
The Zhu family has the final say.
However, Zhang Yan was really smart. While she was satisfied, she suddenly remembered something. Now she was in a dilemma about who to choose as Zou Yi's successor. Liu Mingguo was experienced in dealing with things and did not side with Yue Su. It seemed that he still knew how powerful he was.
, who is loyal to the royal family, it seems that it is not impossible for him to succeed Zou Yi.
But in order to be able to level a bowl of water, Zhang Yan wanted to hear what Cao Huachun had to say. So, Zhang Yan suddenly said loudly: "Come here, go to the Imperial Horse Prison and call Cao Huachun to the Ai family."
"yes."
The little eunuch outside the palace agreed and rushed to the Royal Horse Supervisor. When he arrived at the Royal Horse Supervisor's duty room, he conveyed the Queen Mother's announcement and asked Eunuch Cao to come over.
Eunuch Cao was also a fox. Hearing the Queen Mother's announcement, he immediately guessed that something was going on. He then took out two gold leaves from his arms, put them into the little eunuch's hands, and said, "Guizhu, take them to buy some snacks."
"
As soon as the young eunuch Guizhu saw the gold leaves, he beamed and said, "Eunuch Cao, how can such a young man bear this?"
"Take it, take it, don't be polite to me. Let's go and lead the way." Cao Huachun said with a smile.
"Well, thank you very much, Eunuch Cao."
Guizhu led the way and led Cao Huachun to Cining Palace. Seeing that there was no one else on the way, he quickly leaned next to Cao Huachun and said in a very low voice: "Eunuch Cao, just now Eunuch Liu presented a document to the Queen Mother. It seems to be
Mr. Yue sent it. I'm not sure what the specific matter was, but I vaguely heard that King Fu had something to do with the transfer of fiefdoms. When Eunuch Liu came out, he had a smile on his face and seemed very happy."
By the way, something suddenly occurred to me. Didn't Governor Wu go to take the train ticket test yesterday? Did he pass it? If the examiner dares to let Mr. Wu fail, then you can report my name as "Yue Shatou".
