After listening to Qiuyun's words, Zhu Houzhao took a nap in the afternoon.
The weather is getting warmer, and the sunlight that leaks in through the window shines warmly on me.
Zhu Houzhao was lying on a bamboo chair covered with a soft blanket. The light illuminated half of his face. The line between light and darkness stretched from his face to his body, from noon to dusk. He was not leisurely until he heard a trace of rustling footsteps. Wake up.
Dr. Kui'er came outside. When she saw Qiuyun at the door, she asked softly: "Is your Majesty awake?"
Qiu Yun shook his head, put his hand on her arm and walked out, "Not yet. It's rare for His Majesty to sleep so happily. Can you wait a little longer?"
"Qiuyun!"
While talking, a voice came from the room.
The two girls, who were still relaxed, immediately walked inside.
Zhu Houzhao slept comfortably, but when he woke up he was reluctant to open his eyes. He pinched his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, no one has handed the note. It's Dr. Kui'er who is here."
Taking a quick look, he saw a girl standing next to him who was as tall as Qiu Yun.
In this age and environment, there are indeed very few people as tall and long as Kui'er.
"Daughter of the people, come and take your Majesty's pulse."
Zhu Houzhao turned his palms in a cooperative manner, "It's just that I'm thirsty for cold weather during the change of seasons. It should be nothing. I feel much more comfortable after a good sleep."
Doctors don't listen to sick people's nonsense, but Kui'er still takes her pulse seriously and concentrates. He took another look at the emperor, whose complexion had returned to rosy, and then felt relieved, "Your Majesty is afraid of heat, but it is best not to be greedy for cold. It is always not good for the wind and cold to enter the body. Your Majesty is also in the prime of his youth. If it had been anyone else, I would be afraid. It won’t get better so fast.”
"This is my fault." Qiu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, "The weather has just gotten warmer, so His Majesty asked him to take off a lot of clothes."
"It's fine. Why are you rushing to accept the crime? Go and see if there is anything to eat. If there is any, have a bowl of hot mutton soup."
Once your health improves, your appetite will return.
"Okay. This slave will go and pass on the food."
Kui'er has been in contact with the emperor several times, and she doesn't feel embarrassed even if she is alone with him like this now. Her mind is still on the emperor's body, "Seeing that His Majesty has woken up from a long sleep, why don't you let the daughter of the people relax for His Majesty?"
"good."
So the girl walked behind him, stretched out her slender white fingers, pinched between the neck, rubbed on the chin, and gently pressed on the back of the cerebellum. After all, she had learned from it, and every acupuncture point seemed just right. It was slightly sour, but the pads of his fingers were soft and warm, as if it could relieve tension, and he immediately felt very enjoyable.
"Those two in the Yongshou Palace have hands that are always cold from spring to winter. Doctor Kui'er did something to keep their hands very warm."
"It's caused by stagnation of liver qi and deficiency of qi and blood. The daughter of the people has prescribed a prescription for the two nobles, but it will take some time to heal. Your majesty will look at it after a while, and it should be gone."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Kui'er. If my mother just says a word, you can only stay in the palace."
"Your Majesty, it is a blessing for the daughter and senior sister to be able to serve these two nobles."
Zhu Houzhao paused briefly, because it was so comfortable, and he was slowly feeling it.
"Let me know if you're tired."
Kui'er didn't expect that the emperor would take this matter into consideration, "It's not tiring, it doesn't take any effort."
…
…
The emperor is cool here, but things are a bit chaotic outside the palace.
The imperial edict has been issued, and the attendants, chief ceremonial supervisors and royal guards must work together to explore the indivisible farmland and ask the owner of the farmland to explain the ins and outs of the property.
This is a stone that stirs up thousands of waves.
Although Zhu Houzhao would not suddenly reveal a major case, he would take the attendant's room as the first priority. He felt that if he encountered a normal transaction and all the certificates were complete, he would not accidentally hurt others. After all, complete equalization is just a kind of Ideally, people's abilities vary, and some people's wealth just gets bigger and bigger.
However, in a social environment where there is no effective legal system at all, and where the government and the people are inherently unequal, there are actually many land acquisitions that are not formal transactions.
People were mobilized here to investigate, but after leaving the capital and arriving at the Wanping County Yamen, they couldn't move. Is it so easy to sort out the situation in a county?
"There are so many things. Not everything can be explained clearly, and not every acre of land can be explained clearly. But things can't be delayed. What should we do?" Jin Yiwei's Mao Yuwen was a little anxious.
But Jin Gui still pressed him, "Commander Mao, don't worry. If you encounter someone who is full of loopholes, you will naturally ask the Jin Yiwei to arrest the person and bring him to justice."
While he was talking, a man in royal robes came in and said a few words in Mao Yuwen's ear, which made Mao Yuwen sneer.
Jin Gui asked: "What happened?"
"It seems that we all thought simply. We were still worried about not being able to explain what to do. Now it's better, no one is here to explain!"
Ma Yongcheng, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, couldn't help but get angry, "Don't come?! This is rebellion!"
To be honest, he suddenly rebelled over this matter, that is to say. Even if you really want to rebel, you should spend some time hoarding some weapons and armor first, right?
But in normal times, if such things are found in someone's home, it is because they want to commit rebellion and kill the Nine Clans.
Moreover, rebellion is a big decision. No one will do such a thing unless it is absolutely necessary.
There are no big names in the countryside, so where can you get that ability?
On the contrary, the people who came to this small Wanping today were all big shots, and they had been on guard against this move before, so Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi were followed by no less than a thousand people.
"Servant Jin, what should I say if I don't follow the order?!"
This matter will never come to an end.
Jin Gui has been with the emperor for a long time, and he knows best how far the emperor will go in this matter. "Read the imperial edict to others. If you don't follow it, knock on the door and arrest the person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several figures flew away.
This place is more or less at the feet of the emperor. If the imperial edict does not work, how can it be done?
For many of them, they did not want to resist the decree, but it was the first time that they had to explain to the court about the purchase and sale of their own land.
Of course, if there is no problem, the explanation will explain it. If there is a problem here, it must be that it can be delayed without putting a knife on the neck.
The unlucky ones were the ones on the first day.
After the Jinyiwei came out of the county government office, they swept through the streets like wind and fire, bringing people and horses.
The man on the horse looked majestic, and Dongchang Fanzi was already hurried forward beside him. From the moment he reached the big red door, there were knocks on the door, "Jin Yiwei is investigating the case! Open the door!"
No movement.
Mao Yuwen waved his hand and was about to order people to read the imperial edict when the door rang.
He squinted and saw several people wearing silk and black hats coming out.
"We got it together."
These people were headed by a strong man with a white face and a beard. He stood in front of him and pretended to be calm. "We are all squires in Wanping County. We have been law-abiding for generations. Today, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are Do you want to expose another unjust case?"
"There is no injustice."
A bookish official with a soft voice walked out from behind Mao Yuwen and Jin Gui. Jin Gui stepped forward and saluted, "Brother Ye Qing, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are well."
"With the changes in the sea, things and people have changed. I am already a farmer far away from the temple. I dare not call the servants my brother, but as a commoner, I have to ask, what does this posture mean today?"
"There is no other meaning. The imperial court wants to know the origin of the Zhuangtian that you all own."
"Of course it's the accumulated savings from our ancestors!" someone from behind shouted.
"Is there any encroachment?" Jin Gui raised his hand as he spoke, "Brother Ye Qing can clearly see this posture, think carefully before answering, otherwise the crime of bullying the emperor will be a big deal."
The middle-aged man was indeed a little worried, and after thinking for a moment he answered, "I don't have one at home."
What this means is that there are people here.
"Sir Jin, they obeyed the order and failed to show up. This is tantamount to resisting the order. What more nonsense do you need to talk to them?"
Jin Gui didn't say anything yet, "Whoever owns it, as long as they hand it over in full, I can plead with the emperor for a lenient punishment."
There were five or six people in a row behind, but no one spoke.
"Take it away."
Jin Gui turned around.
In his early years, he also believed in the so-called righteousness of the people, but even in those good times, he never touched on these real problems. What exactly does it mean to work hard to govern? Is it enough to review a few more memorials and exempt a few more disaster-stricken counties from money and food?
The longer he stayed with the emperor, the more he realized that there must be something wrong with this world.
How come the emperor saves and earns extra money and spends it on people's livelihood, but in the end the people still don't have enough to eat?
He was also confused and couldn't even find the answer in any book, so he wanted to try this method.
"Arrests!"
"Brother Jin." The strong man from before shouted urgently. In his desperation, he didn't think about whether it was appropriate to say something, but he shouted anyway, "If the emperor really wants to do this, the world will be in chaos!"
Jin Gui turned his back and tilted his head slightly, "The emperor has never thought about chaos in the world. The emperor only wants to know whether the people of Beizhili can avoid such suffering. Just because some things are covered up does not mean they will not exist. If there is no emperor, this way If you keep covering up, the world will still be in chaos after all. Brother Ye Qing has seen people, and he should understand what Jin means by what he said."
If the world is really in chaos, then it will be a disorderly world after all, and there is nothing wrong with not living in such a world.
"We are innocent and unjust! Why do you traitors and traitors arrest people!?"
"As long as you obeyed the order and didn't follow this rule, I would have arrested you a long time ago." Mao Yuwen was not so gentle. He stepped forward and slapped the man, "That is, Minister Jin, and I can talk to you some truth. .If I had changed my envoy, you would have been killed long ago!"
…
…
The threshold for the cabinet check-in was high, and at a certain moment a black boot lifted up and stepped over it.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian raised their heads at the same time, "If Mr. Jizhi doesn't come, we will both be worried to death."
The visitors were none other than Wang Hao and Wang Jizhi, who were wearing red robes with round collars.
"Why are the two pavilion elders worried?"
"Does this need to be said?"
Wang Hao walked around the noble house before arriving at the cabinet. He seemed somewhat confident, "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Xie Ge, don't worry about Zhuang Tian. What your Majesty said is that Zhuang Tian is indivisible and needs to be addressed to him." The court will explain it, and it only needs to be explained clearly."
"Then why can't you explain it clearly?"
Wang Hao tapped his fingers in his sleeves, "If you can't explain it clearly, throw it away and replace it with Mei Ji's butt. The rest can be explained clearly, right?"
