Xu Jin said calmly: "Back to the emperor, the prince of the Marquis of Wuding on the other side instigated the family slaves to do it. ”

Yue'er interjected angrily: "The son of the Hou family of Wuding is really too much, the day before yesterday, he ordered the house slave to injure two subordinates in our house, and threatened to beat him once in the future." At that time, the lord had not returned to the house, and Mrs. Ning did not pursue it, who knew that the other party had intensified, and yesterday he beat the people in our house, and the family Ding Xu Ji was also broken leg, how can it be true. ”

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, he already regarded Xie Xiaowan as his own sister, how could he allow others to bully him like this, not to mention that it happened during Xu Jin's absence in Beijing, so the little emperor felt that his face was beaten, and said angrily: "The security of the Marquis of Wuding family dares to be so arrogant...... By the way, why did the other party hit someone? ”

Xu Jin had to sigh, this kid has been sitting on the throne for more than half a year, and his reason has matured a lot, if the former little slave heard that Sister Xiaowan was bullied, he didn't bother to care about what was black and white, and then he would find the field first.

However, Zhu Houxi's transformation is a kind of progress and a good thing, if he is easily fooled by the people around him, regardless of right and wrong, such an emperor really has no future, and it is harmful to the country. For example, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, obeyed the eunuch Wang Zhenyan, Wang Zhen did whatever he wanted, and finally was completely pitted by this pig teammate, as the king of a country, he was captured by the tile thorn in the "Tumubao Change", and the elite three battalions of the Ming army were also lost in this battle, and since then they have been in a slump, how sad, what a shame!

"I guess it's because the ministers proposed to clear the grange." Xu Jin replied calmly.

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but suddenly realize that as the supreme ruler, he naturally understood how many people's interests had been touched by the "Qingtianzhuang" incident, and it was inevitable to offend people, especially the nobles in the court, during this time, there was an endless stream of imperial relatives who ran into the palace to complain to their mother and Empress Dowager Zhang, and there were even officials who impeached Xu Jin for grandstanding, and acted too harshly in Shandong, which was done by cool officials, and so on.

Zhu Houxi said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Huang Jin, pass on my message, reprimanding the Marquis of Wuding, Guo Xun's godson, for having no way, and ordering him to bring his son to the door to apologize to Jing Anbo on the same day, compensate for the cost of the soup medicine three hundred taels of silver, and hand over all the domestic slaves who participated in the murder to the Beizhen Fusi for processing. ”

Huang Jin hurriedly responded: "Slave leader!" ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly woke up and remembered that Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, took his dictation as a matter of wind in his ears, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's wait for the next decree after I return to the palace, Xu Jin, Sister Xiaowan, I will definitely ask for it for you for this justice." ”

Although Zhu Houxi was very hesitant about the matter of "Qingtianzhuang", he also understood very well that this was a matter that was beneficial to the society of the country, but the resistance was too great, and it was rare for Xu Jin to dare to risk the disapproval of the world, which just shows that he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and himself.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, the little emperor feels that he must stand up for Xu Jin and bear all the pressure of backlash.

Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan hurriedly expressed their gratitude. Yue'er and Chuchun and others are even more overjoyed, the emperor personally ordered to seek justice for the mansion, this is a face-saving thing, hum, see if he dares to continue to be arrogant in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion!

The punishment of the little emperor is quite severe for the Marquis of Wuding, but it is far from enough for Xu Jin, he wants to give the Marquis of Wuding a harsh lesson, so as to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, lest those nobles think that they are soft persimmons and kick their noses in the future.

Although the sweet potato millet porridge is sweet, it is easy to fill the stomach, so Zhu Houxi ate a bowl is enough, and with a wipe of his mouth, he asked Xu Jin to tell him about the suppression of anti-thieves in Shandong, and did not hide the fanaticism in his eyes.

Xu Jin didn't know whether the Jiajing Emperor in history was martial or not, but it was certain that the kid in front of him was definitely martial and very keen to expand the territory, as can be seen from the questions he came up with in the palace examination, this kid intended to recover the Hetao Plain occupied by the Tatars.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing in history was not good at martial arts, and he did not have much ambition, and almost all of his life's energy was spent on studying etiquette and cultivating alchemy.

As the saying goes: a person's vision determines his pattern, and a person's pattern determines his achievements.

Xu Jin's outlook on life and values have been imperceptibly influencing Zhu Houxi, coupled with Xu Jin's intention to impart modern scientific knowledge and world geography knowledge, which has constantly expanded Zhu Houxi's horizons.

Therefore, the current Emperor Jiajing is no longer the Shoucheng Emperor in history who is superstitious in cultivating and refining pills and is content with the foundation of his ancestors. One of this kid's favorite words right now is: The world is so big, I want to see it. In addition, he took as his motto the famous words of the Roman Emperor, "I came, I saw, I conquered".

Therefore, standing in front of Xu Jin now is a new Jiajing Emperor who is different from history, what kind of changes this guy will bring to the future of the Ming Dynasty, even Xu Jin, the initiator, can not predict!

Next, Xu Jin started with the "Battle of Qufu", then the storming and recovery of Surabaya City, then the "Battle of Xintai", and finally the "Battle of Tai'an City".

Xu Jin was originally very eloquent, and the battles were wonderful under his description, which lacked thrilling, singing and crying blood, and clever plots, Zhu Houxi's kid listened to it as if he was drunk, and his handsome face was red with excitement.

Xie Xiaowan and the daughters of Yue'er were also fascinated by it, and their faces were full of admiration and admiration, which made Master Xu a little fluttering, and he felt that if he took a feather fan at this time, he would be able to turn into Zhuge Kongming.

The eunuch Huang Jin was dumbfounded, tsk, look at the eloquence of Lord Xu, our family is beyond reach, and it is awesome to brag!

Xu Jin finished speaking for nearly an hour in one breath, Zhu Houxi smashed his mouth with unfinished meaning, and suddenly said worriedly: "Xu Jin, just a few White Lotus demons can easily raise tens of thousands of troops to rebel, if this is the case all over the country, then wouldn't my country be in danger?" ”

Zhu Houxi just ascended the throne less than half a year, many provinces at the same time rebellion, although in the end were suppressed, but it is inevitable that he is still uneasy, now after listening to Xu Jin's description of the process of the war, after the excitement and excitement, he began to reflect!

Xu Jin took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, now more than half of my Ming Dynasty's arable land has been forcibly annexed by Xun Guihao, and the taxes have been evenly distributed to the people, and the people are overwhelmed and have abandoned the fields and fled, so that the tax revenue of the imperial court will also be sharply reduced, which has caused a vicious circle."

In addition, there are more and more displaced people who have lost their land, and they have no place to live, as long as there are bad people instigating, they can easily gather a large number of people to rise up, and the current rebellion of mining thieves in Shandong is a good example.

Your Majesty, not a minister alarmist, the problem of displaced people has become a major problem for this dynasty, if you do not vigorously rectify it, return the land to the people, it will definitely endanger my Ming Dynasty, you must not be careful. ”

Zhu Houxi's face couldn't help but become solemn, and he said deliciously: "Xu Jin, in this way, Qingtianzhuang is an oath?" ”

Xu Jin nodded solemnly and said: "The pit viper stings his hand, the strong man breaks his wrist, and now at this time, the emperor has to show the courage and courage to scrape the bones and cure the poison." ”

When the ladies heard the lord and the emperor talking about political affairs, they all left very interestingly, and Huang Jin and other personal eunuchs also withdrew from the door, leaving only the monarch and the minister.

Zhu Houxi took a sip of tea and said hesitantly: "Xu Jin, I also want to promote Qingtianzhuang, but there are too many people who oppose it, what can I do about it?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "The emperor is the respect of Jiuwu, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all courtiers, if the emperor leads by example, will the courtiers dare to disobey?" ”

Zhu Houxi's face was slightly embarrassed, he himself was the biggest beneficiary of the land annexation, and the imperial villages all over the country contributed a lot of income to his inner treasury every year, and if he took the lead in clearing the imperial village, he would definitely be able to play a good leading role.

Xu Jin smiled and continued: "The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the emperor is rich all over the world, why is he still so shallow-eyed, staring at that little profit!" ”

Zhu Houxi rolled his eyes at Xu Jin, and said angrily: "You don't have back pain when you stand and talk, and the great business of my family is also a big expense, oh, the money and silver for rewarding the sergeant are also paid from my inner treasury, or you will return the 10,000 taels of silver I rewarded you yesterday!" ”

"Ahem, how can you go back to the things that the emperor rewarded his subordinates, that's too petty, in fact...... There are so many ways to get silver, what are a few imperial villages! ”

Zhu Houxi gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I can take the lead in Qinghuangzhuang, but you have to be responsible for filling my inner treasury, otherwise you won't have to receive all the money in the future, and all of it will be confiscated." ”

Damn, whose country is this Daming!

Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, but when it came to making money, it was his forte, if Zhu Houxi could open the sea ban and accept trade from Westerners, it would not be easy to fill the treasury of the palace. However, if you want to open the sea ban, its resistance may not be much smaller than that of "Qingtianzhuang", and the sea ban is the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.
