"Oh! Look, we are all descendants of the clan. Qinshui, why didn't you tell me earlier if you were sick? I have a doctor who specializes in treating wind and cold. Now I have brought you here to see."
However, the king of Baoning, Zhu Xiaolu, personally brought the doctors to visit Zhu Youguan the next day.
Because he knew that once Zhu Yougang really caught some evidence and reported it to the court, he would definitely not be able to live with it.
Zhu Youguan did not expect that Zhu Xiaolu would come to visit him in person. He coughed a few times, then walked outside the door, pretending to be hoarse, and said with cupped hands:
"His Royal Highness is now the head of a country. How can he go out to greet you in person? It's really a shame."
"What's this!"
"Yu Gong, you are a minister of the central government, and you are also a close minister of the emperor. Coming here is like an imperial envoy. As the Lord of the land, how can I not come to see you in person? In private, you and I are both descendants of the clan, how can we not be friendly? principle."
Zhu Xiaoran said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't have any serious illness. Our Jinyiwei also has a medical officer, and we also used the medical officer's medicine. In addition, after a good sleep and some sweating, I felt much better. Your Highness actually doesn't need to be so troublesome. "
Zhu Yougun said.
Zhu Xiaoran nodded: "That's good! I know that you Jinyiwei have always been very busy. Now that you have just come here, you are naturally even busier, but you still have to pay attention to your health. Let's do this. I have a manor in my name, and the air is very good. It is suitable for recuperation. It was originally the manor of the Grand Duke of Xiyi here. The people who serve you are all ready. You don’t need to go around to do things yourself. You can just stay here and take care of yourself. If anything happens, ask the people under you to come to the manor. Just report to you."
Zhu Youguan hurriedly refused: "I accept your highness's kindness, but I don't dare to accept it. My Jin Yiwei has discipline, and if the Jin Yiwei commits corruption, he will be punished more severely. It's not that you don't know!"
As he said that, Zhu Yougang's face became serious: "However, Your Highness, you are here at the right time. I would like to ask why there are Han people in the city who are doing menial jobs in factories, and they are not assigned land, and they are also being used by Westerners." Yi whipping? Do you know about this? Also, why are there so many foreign texts appearing? Also, why are some Western Yi priests haunting your palace? I wonder if Your Highness can tell me something so that Zhu Yougun will not be confused. "
"this……"
After Zhu Xiaoran heard this, he began to think of countermeasures. For a moment, he just pretended to be surprised because he didn't expect it, "Really? I really didn't know that this happened!"
After Zhu Xiaoran said that, he looked at his chief historian Kang Yizhi and asked: "Old Kang, do you know these things? I have entrusted you with all the affairs of the entire kingdom. Don't give me trouble." If something goes wrong, otherwise, your old face for several lifetimes will be useless! It’s not like you don’t understand the court’s policies!”
"I don't know about this, but please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely send someone to investigate."
Kang Yi replied hurriedly.
Seeing that the two of them were blaming each other, Zhu Yougang had no patience and immediately slapped the table: "That's enough!"
Then, Zhu Youguan said: "Fortunately, I asked them to print a few more pictures. Your Highness must not know yet, but there is now a technology in China called photography technology, which can take pictures of what happened. Really reflected in the form of pictures.”
Zhu Youguan took out a few pictures as he spoke and handed them to Zhu Xiaoran: "You can take a look and then decide whether you want to fight with our Jinyiwei here or not! In addition, I want to tell you that these pictures have been sent to the capital. Yes, and the situation here has been reported to the court. Even if you kill us, it will be useless. I'm afraid the guilt will be even heavier."
Zhu Xiaoran took one look at the photo, and was immediately shocked and took a step back, then raised his head and glanced at Zhu Youguan.
He didn't expect these Jin Yiwei to move so fast. He thought that these Jin Yiwei were just looking for more conclusive evidence, but he didn't expect that people had already obtained the evidence through this kind of camera, without having to go to anyone for verification.
"You bastard! How on earth did you manage our Baoning Kingdom to let Emperor Jinyi discover such a serious matter!"
Zhu Xiaolu immediately slapped Kang Yizhi, and hurriedly smiled flatteringly at Zhu Youguan and said: "This, really, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault, my negligence, my negligence in reviewing, so that it happened." For such a thing to happen, I am ashamed of Your Majesty’s sincere teachings!”
At this time, Kang Yizhi could only endure the pain and said: "This is all due to my mediocre ability. I resign and ask the prince to choose someone else who is more capable!"
"Do you think it's enough to shirk the blame and say you don't know? Don't forget, you are ashamed of the ordinary Han people who come to your place!"
Zhu Yougun replied.
"Yes! Yes! What Qinshui said is that this matter must be dealt with, and I am indeed ashamed of the Han people who came here."
Hearing what Zhu Youguan said, Baoning King Zhu Xiaolu quickly responded, but also defended himself, saying: "But I am not forcing them to work for the Western Yi merchants! They have to be willing to work for the Western Yi merchants!" I have no choice but to work in Xiyi."
"Go tell your Majesty what you said and see if His Majesty will believe you."
Zhu Youguan sneered.
"No, no, Qinshui, please teach me what to do."
Zhu Xiaoran begged and said: "As long as you are willing to teach me, in the future in the Baoning Kingdom, you Jinyiwei will have the final say. I will not listen to anyone from Dongchang, Duchayuan, or the Ministry of Rites. I will only listen to you Jinyiwei." of!"
As Zhu Xiaoran spoke, he even bent his legs and knelt down: "I will kneel down for you!"
When Zhu Yougun heard that he would only cooperate with Jin Yiwei from now on, he was interested, so Zhu Xiaolu helped him up: "Forget it, I will give you some advice!"
"That's good, that's good, thank you!"
Zhu Xiaoran was overjoyed.
Therefore, Zhu Yougun said with a serious face: "First of all, kill all those who enslave the Han people! No matter they are Han squires or wealthy Western Yi businessmen, no one will be spared! And the king has issued an order that if anyone violates it again, their homes will be confiscated and their heads will be executed." No tolerance!”
"In addition, all foreign writings must be destroyed immediately. All officials and soldiers in the kingdom are not allowed to hire Western barbarians. All Han people who work must guarantee their right to work for only eight hours, and a minimum wage is stipulated. All Han people must be allocated land. Now that they are here, you Here, you must be treated like a first-class citizen!”
With that said, Zhu Youguyou said: "I, the Jinyi Guards, will take pictures and report this matter throughout, and let His Majesty know that you are determined to rectify the internal shortcomings of your kingdom, and therefore treat you leniently, otherwise, when the Dongchang and the Metropolitan Procuratorate , those people from the Ministry of Etiquette are here, it’s not me, Jin Yiwei, who can speak!"
Zhu Xiaoran nodded and told Kang Yizhi: "Do it immediately!"
Kang Yizhi said with some embarrassment: "Can the Han squires be exempted from punishment? In addition, many of the rich people who enslaved the Han people are good people who actively donated money and benefited the local area. Wouldn't it be bad if they were killed directly?"
"This... is correct."
Zhu Xiaoran hesitated.
