Chapter 1143: Sparks Burn the Plains
Three days is like a year for some people, but for Chang Yu, who scolded your avatar, it was a flash.
Zhu Yihai is a young vassal king, he especially likes this young eunuch, friendly and talkative, sincere and unpretentious, from Chang Yu, he can't see a trace of the inherent prejudice against eunuchs in the past, and even sometimes wonders if he is a eunuch after all.
Because very few eunuchs have this kind of majestic temperament.
Not only Zhu Yihai, but even the princess Zhang likes it very much, not like treating other VIPs with caution, in front of this eunuch, you can talk about some family things at will, more like the kind of relationship between good friends.
It can be said that Chang Yu is now one of the most welcome guests in the Lu Palace, and the other is the Heavenly Immortal Lotus Heart, and the palace likes it all up, and the Zhang family loves it even more and is almost inseparable, and even wants to recognize him as a godsister.
This scared Lianxin, she was just a fisherwoman and a maid, how dare she be sisters with the princess, it was like being smashed by a pie falling from the sky.
So Lianxin told Chang Yu about it.
Chang Yu knows that no matter whether the princess is sincere or not, he always has the intention of taking his line, and his godsister is the personal maid of the overseer of Dongchang, which is related to Jedi porcelain.
Why not, Chang Yu naturally won't refuse, so he said to Lianxin: "The princess likes you so much, this is also a fate, there is a princess sister, and her husband will not dare to bully you when she marries in the future."
"But I'm just a ......," Lianxin has a very low self-esteem.
But Chang Yu's words made her hold her head high: "I, Chang Yu's person, is a maid and not an ordinary wealthy family can climb, although the Zhang family is a princess, in fact, she climbs you."
Lianxin thought of what Master Sujing had said, the prince and the prince were not worthy of giving him support, the little overseer was a super official!
So he had the confidence to respond to the princess.
When the princess saw that she responded, she was overjoyed, so that the palace steward took the ceremony cautiously, and set up a banquet and rewarded the whole house as lively as a happy event, and when the palace saw Lotus Heart again, she changed her name from the original Lotus Heart girl to the eldest lady.
In the past three days, Chang Yu naturally will not just be idle and entertain in the palace, most of the time he has been helping Zhu Yihai wash the Bailu Palace, for example, he wrote an excerpt with the palace governor Shi and others that night, voluntarily reducing the palace and the self-sufficiency of the family and guards, and at the same time drafting a notice to benefit the people, all tenants who cultivate the fields of the palace can apply for rent reduction and rent exemption, and the palace will give exemption according to the actual situation.
Sure enough, as soon as the notice came out, the whole city was boiling.
As a vassal king, eight or nine out of ten of the fertile land in the fief belong to the royal government, not to mention the common people, and even the arable land of the rich gentry belongs to the royal government.
So some people say that this generation of Xinlu kings is kinder than his predecessor and knows the suffering of the people.
Some people also say that Lu Wangfu is atoning for his sins.
But in any case, the common people felt that this was a good thing, and they took the title deed to the palace to register.
And when the palace stewards were busy, Chang Yu hid his identity and accompanied Zhu Yihai to visit the rich gentry in the city, first, to make friends, and second, to advocate that the rich gentry could come up with some food for disaster relief.
As Chang Yu expected, although these rich gentry were reluctant, they still responded to it to some extent, after all, they wanted to give Zhu Yihai's face, and the face of the Ming Dynasty would not fall and the vassal king would not die, unless you did not beg for a life in his territory.
Things went so smoothly, so that Zhu Yihai was pleasantly surprised, as Chang Yu said, his actions, fame and fortune, in just a few days, the people of Yanzhou who did not stretch out their thumbs and said that he was good, reduced rent and exempted rent to lead the rich gentry in the city for disaster relief, and his reputation was reaped, and he also experienced the response that the vassal king should have, so that his original inferiority complex gradually faded.
Therefore, he became closer and closer to the little eunuch, thinking that he was the nobleman of the Lu Palace, if Chang Yu opened his mouth to ask for something at this time, he would not hesitate to respond.
Provided he has.
It's a pity that this thing is poor and white at the moment.
Chang Yu washed the Lu Wangfu in the shortest time and at the fastest speed, and established an image and prestige for Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yihai was grateful to treat this nobleman, and took him to the rich gentleman's house to eat and drink, visit the streets and alleys of Yanzhou in his spare time, taste local snacks, and be very happy.
It's just that soon, Zhu Yihai's mood suddenly couldn't be happy.
Because I don't know when a crooked wind suddenly blew in Yanzhou City, and the rumors about Confucius Mansion were extreme and intense, but they hit the nail on the head, although they felt against the ear, they couldn't justify it.
As a member of the royal family, Zhu Yihai knows better than ordinary people what the Confucian Mansion is, but he also knows the importance of its role, so he has a bad premonition as soon as this news starts, and this phenomenon will occur every time there is a civil riot!
Yanzhou Mansion is afraid that there will be a big mess.
Wangbo Tower.
The premier restaurant in Yanzhou City, on the riverside in the east of the city, can enjoy the panoramic view of the riverside after drinking, and is the favorite place for literati, gentlemen, squires and wealthy people.
At this time, Zhu Yihai and Chang Yu were sitting by the window on the second floor, a pot of tea, a few dried fruits, looking downstairs at Hejin's thoughts, but all the thoughts were on the next few tables, talking about the shameless past of the Confucian Mansion, with a lot of disdain on their faces.
This made Zhu Yihai even more worried, because if it was an ordinary civilian, it would be fine, but some literati at the next table actually had disdain when they talked about this matter, what does this mean, it shows that public opinion has undergone a qualitative change, not only the ordinary people agree with the inverted views, but even these people have begun to waver, so ...... If Confucius is not careful, he will fall from the altar.
This also had a great impact on the stability of the imperial court.
Of course, the first to bear the brunt is his Yanzhou Mansion, and it is very likely to be the Talu Palace.
Don't, I just took the, please let it go.
Zhu Yihai was very bitter in his heart, looked at the little eunuch opposite with a calm expression, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "From what Father-in-law Chang saw, where did this matter come from?" ”
"It's nothing more than poverty and poverty" Chang Yu looked at the willow tree by the river, and there was an old man fishing under the tree: "The hungry can't live, so naturally they have to find a way to vent, if the rich side of the Confucian Mansion is in the prosperous era, even if the people disdain their fame and reputation, they will roll their eyes at most, and it has nothing to do with themselves, but in this year of starvation."
They want to ask why.
"But I don't really want others to explain why, what I want is to have something to eat, if Confucius quickly cuts a piece of meat at this time, the matter will soon be settled, if it is like the former King Lu...... Hehe, the consequences are terrible! Chang Yu tapped one finger on the table and said softly.
Zhu Yihai nodded slightly, and asked again: "Father-in-law Chang seems to agree with those rumors."
Chang Yu snorted: "I personally agree with it very much, and it is true, but from the perspective of the imperial court, our family and the prince and the emperor are in the same line."
Zhu Yihai smiled bitterly: "I only look at Kong Yinzhi...... No, this king wants to go to Qufu in person, and there can be no more chaos in Yanzhou Mansion, can Father-in-law Chang go along? ”
Chang Yu was in the middle of it, and raised his eyebrows: "Since we have to take care of this matter, otherwise the emperor will be blamed if something happens."
"That being the case, let's go quickly, we can enter the city before dark" Zhu Yihai urged, and the two hurriedly left the restaurant after settling the bill.
Next to the carriage under the shade of the tree opposite the restaurant, Chen Wangting and Qiao Sanxiu saw Chang Yu and Zhu Yihai coming out, and hurriedly got up to meet them, when they suddenly asked a loud bang on the riverside not far away, which frightened the mules and horses and pedestrians screaming, and they couldn't help but look over there.
Chang Yu and Zhu Yihai, who had just walked out of the restaurant, were also frightened, frowning and looking over there, it was really just now that he saw the location of the fishing suo upstairs, and was about to check forward, when suddenly a bad feeling struck, so he subconsciously turned around and looked behind, but even half of the turn, the back shoulder armor was in severe pain, and he was shot through by a sharp crossbow.
Under the severe pain, Chang Yu didn't have time to exclaim when he saw a figure rushing towards him.
