"I've heard about everything going on in the capital these days, but I'm far away in Zhongdu and can't interfere, and Fengyang has indeed turned into a mess!" Tang Ding sighed heavily, "I won't hide it from you, right minister. Resigning is actually a matter that has been discussed, and his return to his hometown is actually to settle the troubles in Zhongdu!"
Xu Jinda took a deep breath, "Is Fengyang's situation in a bad condition?"
"Early on, there were floods, and there was almost no harvest. Although the court exempted us from taxes for a few years, where was the food?
If there was no disaster, it would be nothing, but when the disaster comes, the people will have enough to eat, and there will be a whole family of children.
Although everyone in construction is responsible for a full meal, some people save their rations and go back to support their families. Where do they find the strength to work?
Over time, some people died of exhaustion, coupled with widespread waterlogging, it became a rumor.
They said I would deduct rations and even asked the villagers to bring their own rations.
In addition, a large number of refugees poured into Zhongdu, and the food relief provided by the court was not timely, and the situation was out of control! "
Having said this, Tang Ding's eyes turned red, "This is nothing. In order to develop Fengyang, His Majesty moved the population and wealthy businessmen several times, but did not provide them with support. In recent years, many wealthy businessmen pretended to be beggars and fled Fengyang. .
Fengyang, which seems to be prosperous, has actually become a sieve.
Having said all this, aren’t we unlucky?
All these things came together. Xue Yang and Wu Lang and I couldn't even talk about it even if we had eight mouths! "
Xu Jinda smiled bitterly, "Hu Guoyong is so ruthless, Liu Ji is even more ruthless!"
"At present, Li Shanren and Hu Guoyong have reached a consensus. The matters in Fengyang have been covered up, but the situation in Fengyang is not good. Even if the Central Capital is built, it will be very difficult to prosper!" Tang Ding said: "This time, Your Majesty called me back to Kyoto to teach King Wu martial arts!
But think about it, King Wu is a lunatic, what kind of martial arts can he learn?
Doesn't this make it clear that you are looking for an excuse to transfer me back? "
"Brother, be careful what you say!" Xu Jinda said: "No matter how you say it, King Wu is still a prince, and now he is Miao Jin's future husband!"
Tang Ding smiled awkwardly, "Don't take it to heart because of your quick words."
Xu Jinda waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if he comes back, this trouble will still give Hu Guoyong a headache. Since he wants to go up, if he doesn't do something, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"I'm feeling aggrieved." Tang Ding said, "It's been seven years since Shenwu's second year. I'm just looking at a meritorious service, and my beard is cut off halfway by Hu Guoyong. This is more uncomfortable than stabbing me with a knife."
Xu Jinda can understand this feeling, but when it comes to discomfort, Li Shanren is the saddest.
He was stabbed in the back by Hu Guoyong, lost his right minister, and was sent to prison. Now he is working as a housekeeper in Prince Wu's Mansion.
What is this if not humiliation?
But fortuitously, no one dared to say a word for him. Those Qingliu who claimed to be noble and dared to criticize everything pretended to be stupid and didn't know anything about it.
"At least His Majesty didn't blame him. Think about Li Shanren, who lost his position as Prime Minister, went to jail, and even worked as a housekeeper in Prince Wu's Mansion.
His son still has to lead the horse for the King of Wu. Isn't this a humiliation?
Right now, it's better for you to just teach King Wu how to practice martial arts than to have you stand guard in King Wu's mansion, right? "
Tang Ding nodded, "We can only take one step at a time."
"Today is different from the past. King Wu is now receiving much attention from His Majesty, and he has actually done several important things these days." After all, he was his son-in-law. Xu Jinda felt guilty for Zhu Jun in his heart, even though Xu Miaojin was treated unfairly in Prince Wu's Mansion. , he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, "Brother, you might as well teach him seriously, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise."
Tang Ding was doubtful. He just came back. He didn't know much about what Zhu Jun had done, so he said: "One code means one code. Since he worships me as his teacher, I must teach him one and a half moves, so as not to ask about it in the future." , it doesn’t look good!”
After saying that, he raised his glass and said, "Okay, let's not talk about the bad things and drink!"
Xu Jinda also smiled and nodded, "Drink!"
.......
At this time, the palace of Prince Wu was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, giving it a completely new look from top to bottom.
Xun Busan and Qinghe took care of everything.
Getting a crown is a big deal, it means growing up.
Zhu Jun II is a good person, but he feels quite good when he sees everyone working for him.
"Gou Dong, come here!"
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Buy more pigs and sheep, and feed everyone in these two days. There will be enough meat and rice, so everyone will be happy!" Zhu Jun said.
"Okay!" Xun Busan said Yazi and ran away.
At this time, even Li Wanqiu was busy with his affairs.
"Master Wife, let the servants do this kind of rough work. Just rest!" Zhu Jun hurried over when he saw Mr. Li cleaning the dust.
"It doesn't matter. We provide good food and drink in the house every day. This old bone will get rusty if it doesn't move!" Mrs. Li has completely changed her view of Zhu Jun now. Not only does this child have no airs, he is also filial and sensible. She paid close attention to her husband's daily exams, studied seriously, and her literary talent became better and better day by day.
Every time there is something shocking and thought-provoking.
The most important thing is that her shrewd daughter is also submissive to Zhu Junzhi, and she is even more satisfied.
"Just let my mother do something!" Li Wanqiu said, "If you don't let her do it, she won't feel comfortable!"
"Master Wife, let me help you..."
"Okay, why don't you just stay cool?" Li Wanqiu pushed him and said, "You can do this and when it's your turn. You are a man and a real man, so why can't you do some serious work?"
When Mrs. Li saw her daughter arguing again, she shook her head and walked silently.
Zhu Jun, however, did not get angry but smiled instead, "Stop using your remarks on me. Who said men can't clean up dust?"
"Have you ever heard of a male lead and a female lead?"
"Are you my wife?"
Li Wanqiu was stunned and blushed, "Nonsense, who wants to be your wife?"
"Then what do you care about me?" Zhu Jun came closer to Li Wanqiu. At such a close distance, he could even see the fine hair on Li Wanqiu's temples. Apart from anything else, he, a skilled senior sister, had really beautiful skin. Good.
Especially that look in his eyes, he always felt there was a kind of clear stupidity.
"Good-for-nothing, specializing in women's ways!" Feeling Zhu Jun's aura, Li Wanqiu stuttered a bit when he spoke!
"Dogs are meddling with mice!" Zhu Jun smiled, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard. As a result, Shen Dong'er walked towards him. He asked, "Sister Dong'er, where are you going?"
"Your Highness, I'm here to see you!" Shen Dong'er looked a little sleepy and had heavy bags under her eyes, "I've already finished the drawing of the Chengbei business district you asked me to draw!"
Zhu Jun was overjoyed, "Where is it?"
"In the study!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
When he came to the study room, Zhu Jun saw the scraps of manuscript papers scattered on the floor.
Zhu Jun was stunned and couldn't help turning his head to look at the tired Shen Dong'er, "Sister Dong'er, thank you for your hard work!"
