Outside the city of Qufu, although it is dusk, there are still crowds of people, and in recent days, rumors have spread everywhere, and under the instigation of organized and premeditated activities, the people of the surrounding counties have flocked to surround the city of Qufu, just to seek "justice".

Namely, grain.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although all kinds of natural disasters and military disasters cannot be said to be the first in Shandong, they have never missed any time, drought, locust plague, plague, and military disasters are all indispensable.

Therefore, the people of Shandong are really poor and miserable, and they can only take risks in order to make a living, which is also the main reason why there are many thieves in Shandong.

Therefore, as long as someone fanned the flames, they would immediately do not hesitate to make trouble, so throughout the history of Shandong, there are many more rebel riots, the White Lotus Sect, and the Cao Gang......

Now, there is a sudden wind of inverted Confucius: the Confucian Mansion is rich and unkind, and virtue is not worthy, sitting on thousands of acres of fertile land but ignoring the life and death of the people, asking for disaster relief, rent reduction and rent exemption......

As a result, in just a few days, the people who came from all over the city surrounded Qufu City, some rushed to make trouble, some ran to force Confucius to open a warehouse for disaster relief and rent reduction, and some were just looking forward to a good settlement.

But the Confucian Mansion is not a vegetarian, and seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, he sealed the city as soon as possible, and organized the officers and soldiers in the city and the family members in the city to maintain stability in the city.

But in doing so, the people outside the city were enraged, and the siege continued for several days.

This gave the Confucian Mansion and the Qufu Yamen a headache, and they didn't know how to solve it for a while, after all, the other party didn't pull the flag to rebel, you can't send troops to suppress it, if one accidentally doesn't do it, you can force them to rebel.

After thinking about it, he could only send people to negotiate with the outside, but the other party put forward three points very strongly, first, open a warehouse to release grain, and second, exempt the land rent for three years

First, it is exempt from paying taxes for three years.

Confucius decisively refused, it's okay to open a warehouse for disaster relief, just make a look to deal with it, as for the second point, think beautifully, once you start and get it back, you can't get used to them.

As for the third point, tax exemption is the business of the imperial court, how can we do it.

Negotiations were at an impasse.

So they shrank their heads and did not come out, while outside the city, the people became more and more indignant, and there were signs of getting out of control.

But at this time, dozens of iron horsemen, straddling swords and bows, rushed to the outside of Qufu City, which immediately attracted a lot of suspicion, could it be that the officers and soldiers came to suppress it?

It can't be, it's just a few people.

"Who are you?" The people were outnumbered, but they were not afraid, and directly stopped Chang Yu and his party for questioning.

"Yanzhou Lu Wangfu, I want to go into the city to help you coordinate with the Confucian Mansion, please get out of the way" Guo Ren held the handle of the knife in his hand and said sharply on the horse.

King Lu's Mansion? The crowd began to talk

Isn't it King Lu who is in that carriage?

King Lu is the king of Yanzhou Mansion, although he had a bad reputation earlier, but after all, he was the king of the imperial court, and the people were more or less afraid of him, but there were still people who were not afraid of things: "Help us coordinate?" Hmph, I'm afraid the snake and rat litter will have to discuss how to deal with us."

Guo Ren sneered: "Some words are said to be responsible, you can't solve the problem if you continue to fool around like this, it will only make things worse, the prince can't bear to wait for suffering to come to mediate, don't know what to do, you really want to pull the flag and rebel."

Bah! The man exclaimed, "What a nice thing to say, can't you bear to suffer us?" Then show some sincerity, don't say something useless, you don't scare us, if you really force us to have no way to live, even if we rebel, we can't starve to death in vain."

Holding the grass, who is so arrogant, Chang Yu scolded in his heart, but this voice sounded a little familiar, so he lifted the curtain and took a look, the bearded man holding the grass was a little familiar.

Hold the grass, isn't this Li Muxian!

That's right, this leader is the reckless man who is Li Muxian, and he has now become the eldest disciple of the Immortal Master and the big leader of the troublemakers.

Damn, this product was really born in a good era, Chang Yu couldn't smile bitterly, and said to Zhu Yihai: "At this time, Lord Wang, you came forward to say a few words" It's just that in the face of this big scene, Zhu Yihai was a little scared.

Outside the car, Guo Ren had already seen clearly that the person was dressed by Li Muxian, and he was still singing a double reed with him: "Rebellion? Hahaha, there are flag-pulling rebellions on our Shandong border every few years, and the result? Li Zicheng fled in embarrassment with hundreds of thousands of killings, and it was up to you rabble to last a few days."

The crowd began to clamor and shout.

Guo Ren saw the big scene, and he was not afraid at all, and then said: "Say it again, the prince is really coming this time for the benefit of you, don't know the hearts of good people, if you are sincere, you can go and inquire, just the day before yesterday, the Lu Wangfu joined hands with the rich gentry of Yanzhou to donate grain for disaster relief, and at the same time reduce or reduce the rent, do you dare to say that the prince is not sincere?" ”

The anger of the crowd disappeared, and the discussion began to be endless.

"If you still can't believe it, then the prince will immediately turn around and go back, and you can clean up the rest of the mess by yourself, see if the Confucian Mansion is soft, or if you really want to rebel and attack the city, by the way, I will send you a news, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jining now, and you can reach Qufu in one day."

The people were in an uproar and whispered endlessly.

"Lord Wang, it's your turn to appear" Chang Yu smiled, Zhu Yihai coughed lightly, and got out of the car with a whole demeanor.

"This king can promise to let the Confucian Mansion give you an explanation, but the premise is that you will not disturb things before this king comes out, Jining has tens of thousands of troops is by no means alarmist, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to inquire."

Zhu Yihai stood on the wheel and looked at the crowds of people around him, but he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, holding the grass, it feels so good that everyone is in the limelight, if this time the matter is really settled, there is no doubt that his image and prestige of Zhu Yihai are swaying upward.

Wow, is that person King Lu, so young.

I wonder if what he said is true......

We have someone from Yanzhou here, just ask someone to inquire.

He shouldn't tell a lie, otherwise he will lose his trust to the people, and who will recognize him as a prince in the future......

The crowd began to talk about it, their eyes were fixed on Zhu Yihai, and they looked at Li Muxian from time to time, after all, he is now the backbone of the main body and the person who speaks.

"Since the prince said so, we will believe you once, but we have to give a deadline, if you don't come out for a month, we can't wait here stupidly, and no matter whether the tens of thousands of troops in Jining are true or not, but it really forced us to have no way to live, and we can only be killed."

"Yes, the fish is dead and ......the net is broken," everyone agreed, and they all felt that this person was worthy of being the eldest disciple of the Immortal Master, he was too courageous, and he was always responsible.

Forehead...... When Zhu Yihai was really hesitant to answer, he heard the little eunuch Che whisper: "It's noon tomorrow."

"Tomorrow at noon, I will give you a letter!" Zhu Yihai said loudly, but his psychology was uneasy: Can it really be done in one night?
