In the palace of the Imperial City, three brothers gathered together.
Zhu Gaochi said, "Xiaosan, what exactly did the teacher give you?"
"Yes, mistress, you damn...ahem, please stop showing off." Zhu Gaoxu was extremely anxious, "Second brother, can't I please beg you?"
"Mistress?" Zhu Gaosui looked unhappy and raised his legs, "This is your attitude towards asking for help."
When Zhu Gaoxu saw this guy rubbing his nose and face, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat him, but his elder brother stopped him.
"How long has it been, and you are still in trouble?" Zhu Gaochi said warmly, "Third brother, what exactly did Mr. give you?"
"This attitude is pretty much the same." Zhu Gaosui put down Erlang's legs and looked at his second brother.
Zhu Gaoxu endured his anger and said with a smile, "It was the second brother who was rude just now. Third brother, please don't take it to heart."
"Well, I forgive you." Zhu Gaosuiyi said angrily, "Second brother, you go and see the door."
"You call me dick again..."
"Third brother is thoughtful, please do some hard work." Zhu Gaochi showed his big brother style, "What are you doing to third brother?"
Zhu Gaoxu was helpless. He also knew that the brothers must be united at the moment, so he had no choice but to surrender to the third child who had not yet passed the rebellious stage.
"What is it?" Zhu Gaochi urged, "Hurry up and take it out."
Zhu Gaosui took out three small packages and said, "This is it. I haven't opened it yet."
Zhu Gaochi quickly picked up a package and opened it, and an unknown substance in the shape of grayish-brown powder appeared in front of his eyes.
"This is..." Zhu Gaochi said to himself, his fat face wrinkled, "Isn't this poison?"
"What?" Zhu Gaosui looked confused, "No, my mother-in-law has said that we can trust Mr. Li absolutely, and he should not poison us;
Even if he was poisoned, he wouldn't be so blatant!"
Zhu Gaochi wrapped the medicine again, pondered for a moment, and said: "It should be poison, but it can't kill people. Sir, he should let us use the bitter meat trick to put pressure on Jianwen and get away."
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu came over and said, "What are you two muttering about? What is it?"
Zhu Gaosui said dissatisfied: "Second brother, weren't you asked to guard the door?"
"Sambo is watching." Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about being angry and said hurriedly: "Tell me quickly."
Zhu Gaochi said briefly. After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately said: "Mother, it's done. Let's go back as soon as possible. Our parents will be relieved as soon as possible."
"No, this alone won't work." Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Everything must have a reason."
"Boss, you don't dare, but second, I dare!"
Zhu Gaoxu was impatient and immediately picked up a packet of medicine and tried to swallow it.
"You idiot." Zhu Gaochi snatched it away, "The matter of our poisoning must be framed on Jianwen. If the shit basin can't be pinned on his head, aren't we poisoned in vain?"
Uh... "That seems to be the case." Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head, "Boss, you have a good brain, what do you think we should do?"
"It's very simple, just make trouble with Jianwen!" Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly.
Then, he patted the third child on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Third brother, it's time to show off your arrogance."
Zhu Gaosui nodded, "Boss, how do you want me to act?"
"Be a little more restrained."
…
The next day, noon time.
The three brothers entered the palace in the name of the Master. The eldest brother walked steadily, and the second and third brothers followed behind him. From the front, it looked like there was only one of them.
As we got closer and closer to Fengtian Temple, the two brothers began to feel uneasy.
The third child pulled the second child, the second child paused, and then quickly pulled the oldest child.
Zhu Gaochi turned around and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Gaosui swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Boss, is it too much to make trouble in the court? What if he chops our three brothers into pieces?"
"Don't worry, brother knows it well. No matter how much we go too far, he won't dare to kill us directly. He Jianwen doesn't have the courage to kill our cousins blatantly." In order to cheer up his brother, Zhu Gaochi said generously, "Third brother, please let go.
Acting, when did eldest brother cheat on you?"
Zhu Gaosui nodded heavily, "Brother, I listen to you!"
The other side.
Zhu Yunwen sat on the dragon chair, frowning as he listened to the report from the minister below.
He found more and more that being an emperor was really not a pleasant thing. There were endless political affairs to deal with every day, and the work of reducing the vassal was temporarily put on hold, which made him more and more uncomfortable.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "Your Majesty, the taxes are too heavy and the people in Jiangnan are living in difficulty. I sincerely ask the Emperor to implement benevolent policies, reduce taxes for the people, and support the people with low taxes..."
"Didn't you lose weight?" Zhu Yunwen asked puzzledly.
"Although the emperor has implemented benevolent policies, the people are still miserable. I hope the emperor will think twice." A doctor from the Ministry of Rites came out to second the proposal.
Zhu Yunwen frowned and looked at Li Qing, "What do Li Aiqing think?"
Li Qing came out and said: "I thought... it will not decrease!"
"What do you mean by Li Dugui's words?" The minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately lowered his face, "Are you just letting the people suffer from hunger and not caring about it?"
Li Qing sneered: "If the people in Jiangnan have a hard time living, then the people in other places don't have to live. I remember, Minister, you are from the Jiangnan area."
The minister of the Ministry of Industry panicked, and said with a stern expression, "Li Du is in trouble. It is true that I am from Jiangnan, but I am also an official of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Don't do this." Li Qing snorted coldly, "Jiangnan is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many gentry and landlords in Jiangnan;
This proposal is nominally for the benefit of the people, but in fact... haha."
Li Qing knew that if he said this, he would be secluded from civil servants, because 60% of the civil servants in the court were from Jiangnan, but he still said it.
Without him, Lao Si was about to take action. In order to reassure Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying, he had to break up with the civil servants.
Sure enough, after Li Qing finished speaking, the nobles looked at him with much softened eyes, but the civil servants were all furious.
For a time, the court was noisy.
The generals are not good at words, but the civil servants are very good at talking. They are all possessed by keyboard warriors and can make Li Qing do nothing.
What a fallacy. He doesn't know the sufferings of the people, and his heart is worth killing... The noise made Li Qingren's brain hurt.
"Enough!"
Zhu Yunwen, who has always been good-tempered, lost his temper and said, "The tax reduction in Jiangnan will be discussed later. Which of you dear friends still has the memorial?"
Seeing Xiao Zhu's rage, the officials who had just been noisy about punishing Li Qing immediately shut up. For a while, no one said anything again.
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and was about to leave the court when the general standing at the door came in and reported:
"Prince Yan, the second prince, and the third prince, please ask for an interview."
The civil and military officials in the court were all bewildered and said to themselves: The three sons of King Yan are so dizzy that they dare to come to the court to face the saint at this critical moment.
But no matter what, the person has already arrived, and whether they see him or not is the emperor's business. They will not interfere in this matter. After all, it is the emperor's family matter.
Zhu Yunwen didn't expect these three brothers to come. They had obviously met yesterday, so why did they come again?
In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he didn't want to show his timidity, so he nodded and said, "Let them come in!"
After a while, the three little fat brothers entered the main hall, passed through the long civil and military queues, came to the imperial court, and bowed before the emperor.
"Your Majesty Zhu Gaochi (Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui) has come to see my emperor, long live him!"
"Pingsheng!"
The three brothers performed the ceremony very respectfully, and Zhu Yunwen's depressed mood dissipated a lot, and he said in a friendly manner, "Why did you come at this time?"
"Back to the emperor, I have this memorial." Zhu Gaochi said.
All the officials looked at each other, speechless. A prince of a feudal lord had something to say, which was simply... outrageous.
Zhu Yunwen, the second monk, was also confused, so he nodded and said: "It's accurate!"
"May I ask Your Majesty, what is the crime of King Yan?"
"Prince Yan..." Zhu Yunwen's face heated up and he said sarcastically, "When did I say that Uncle Yan Prince was guilty?"
Zhu Gaoxu continued: "Since he is not guilty, why did he confine King Yan to his home and even take away the military power used to guard the border?"
"Insolent!" Huang Zicheng, who was promoted to the Minister of Taichang Temple, was full of anger. "You guys actually spoke to the emperor in such a tone. It is simply unreasonable."
"Arrogant!" Zhu Gaosui roared: "We are talking about family affairs. Who do you think you are? You dare to take care of the emperor's family affairs. You are impatient, right?"
Huang Zicheng was so angry that he trembled all over: "It's insulting to gentlemen, it's simply insulting to gentlemen. Is this how King Yan teaches his son?"
"Thief Sun, if you have the ability, tell me your name." At this moment, Zhu Gaosui was already getting more arrogant, "I won't beat up unknown people."
Huang Zicheng flicked his robe sleeves and said proudly: "Prince of Taichang Temple, Huang Zicheng!"
"Damn it, you are Huang Zicheng!" Zhu Gaosui screamed and hit Huang Zicheng with a punch until his nose started to bleed.
It was so sudden, from the time the three brothers went to the palace to the time Lao Huang had a nosebleed, it only took a minute.
When has this ever happened in the court?
Not to mention the thoughtless Zhu Yunwen, who was shocked. Not even the nobles who were in the limelight had ever been so arrogant.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty looked dull.
The three brothers really taught the Manchu Dynasty a civil and military lesson this time.
It turns out that not only can we quarrel in the court, but we can also fight!
