Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun did not doubt that he was there.

They moved into Tuqiao Village.

It seems that Tuqiao Village is within the range of this government official, so he most likely wants to remember them.

"Silang and Daya are teachers from our Tuqiao Village School!" Just as the two were walking to the front, Uncle Yang suddenly said loudly.

"Yes, Shiro and Daya are our gentlemen from Tuqiao Village!"

"Zhou Yamen summoned Silang and Da Ya. What's the matter?"

…

After Uncle Yang, the villagers spoke one after another. As they spoke, they mustered up their courage and gathered around him.

Snapped!

Zhou Yamen whipped his whip violently, looked a little flustered, and shouted: "I am the superior officer of Tuqiao Village. They moved into Tuqiao Village, and I want to recognize them!"

"What do you and other cunning villagers want to do!"

"Rebellion!"

"We are here!" Zhu Di raised his hand and shouted.

With that said, he led Xu Miaoyun out from behind.

Uncle Yang and others stared at Zhou Yamen with eager eyes, forming an imposing intimidation.

not to be trifled! Can't be offended! Never ask for favors from this couple!

Zhou Yamen subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Zhu Silang and Xu Daya, their names are boring.

But the clothes he wore and his fearless attitude when meeting him...

This is not a mud-legged person at all!

"Yang Ba!" Zhou Yamen pretended to be dignified and waved to Uncle Yang with a dark face, "Your village has set up a school? When did it happen?"

Uncle Yang didn't mind the yamen being rude to him. ൠ

Anyway, I’m used to it and I don’t lose any meat!

The other party is already afraid!

He smiled and said, "Silang's family was in decline and he came to our Yingtian Mansion. Daya's family provided money to help purchase land and settle in our village."

"Da Ya comes from a scholarly family..."

"Two months ago, Shiro and Daya opened a school in our Tuqiao Village to teach children in the village how to read and write for free."

"He is the benefactor of our whole village!"

Uncle Ba deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu." Upon hearing that they were scholars and from a scholarly family, Zhou Yamen immediately changed his face.

He walked quickly in front of the two of them, cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Master Zhu, as a scholar, do you want to pass the exam? If you do, you won't have to do corvee service."

"Never passed the exam."

"There are some people in Mr. Zhu's ancestors who have obtained fame, not just from this dynasty!" Zhou Yamen smiled flatteringly.

He thought anxiously in his heart: You can tell a lie at will, give me a chance to make up for it!

He couldn't even afford to offend the county government officials.

A scholar who comes from a scholarly family cannot afford to offend.

It's just those honest and humble people who can bully them and get some benefits.

He wouldn't dare to bully someone like Yang Ba who had killed someone before.

Zhu Di was disgusted by the arrogant and courteous attitude of the Yamen servants in front of him and said coldly: "Go and ask my father!"

Xu Miaoyun almost laughed out loud.

Zhou Yamen's flattering smile froze, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he turned to smile: "Where is Madam?"

"We are us, and the family is the family!" Zhu Di became a little impatient, with anger in his tone: "You don't need to test it, I will participate in the corvee!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou Yamen replied repeatedly, not daring to entangle him. After bowing solemnly, he wished he could grow more legs and ride away.

Pooh!

"damn thing!"

…

The villagers gnashed their teeth, cursed and spat in the direction Zhou Yamen left.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other.

For the first time, they clearly understood the opposition between the officials and the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di asked in confusion: "Uncle Eighth, what bad things has this government servant done when he comes to the village on weekdays?"

"He's pretty good." Uncle Yang said angrily, "The one with the surname Zhou is more conscientious. The most he can do is eat and drink."

newᴄᴏᴍ

"Today, I also want to be filial."

"He eats and drinks from us, and we admit it. Anyway, things are much better now than in the Yuan Dynasty. But he can't bully you, you are the children's husband!"

"Is there any other government official who is more outrageous than this?" Xu Miaoyun asked in disbelief.

When will eating and drinking become a conscience?

"Yes! These jackals have dark minds!" The fourth aunt gritted her teeth and cursed: "Bao Pian, Bao Pian, mother-in-law is walking around everywhere..."

"This jingle is what those government officials boasted proudly. If the government officials from other villages fall in love with the little wives or eldest girls in the village, then... just..."

The fourth aunt couldn't talk any more.

Needless to say, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun already understood.

Both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Everyone dispersed and on the way home, Xu Miaoyun said to herself: "How could this happen? My father worked so hard to govern and managed the government strictly..."

What I learned from the villagers was very impactful.

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "Those corrupt officials above can't be killed or captured, so how can they control these little grasshoppers below?"

"This has been the case in all dynasties."

"Unless one day the court holds a knife in its hand and puts a stick in the hands of the people."

"Look at today, although the government officials surnamed Zhou are wary of our status as scholars, Uncle Eighth leads the villagers and stares at us with eager eyes, which is also a great deterrent to the other party."

"Father, this time, don't even think about putting a stick in the hands of the people."

"His old man even deleted Mencius's "people are the most important thing, the king is the most important thing, and the country is the second most important thing."

Xu Miaoyun's face instantly turned pale, and she reached out to cover Zhu Di's mouth. She looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then said angrily: "There are soldiers in brocade uniforms in the village!"

"Why does my father pay attention to you all the time? In fact, he is paying attention to your changes in mentality and your motivation for doing things."

"If you let my father know that you don't agree with his philosophy of governing the country..."

She is really worried...

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's face turn pale, Zhu Di regretted his nonsense, smiled, opened his mouth, and bit Xu Miaoyun's hand.

Her pretty face turned red instantly, Xu Miaoyun struggled to retract her hands, and at the same time said shyly and nervously: "Let go!"

Zhu Di smiled and let go, holding Xu Miaoyun's hand, "I will never say anything like this again, I promise!"

In other words, what I saw and heard had a huge impact.

I spoke a few more words out of emotion.

Is there any emperor in the world who really regards the people as the most important, the monarch as the least, and the country as the next priority in governing the country?

It's just talking about it, pretending to be high-sounding, deceiving the world and stealing the name, just to decorate the appearance.

A wise monarch only balances the interests of the imperial power, the interests of the officials and the gentry, and the interests of the people.

Once the interests of the imperial power are harmed, no matter how wise the monarch is, he will secretly raise the butcher knife and secretly stare at the other two parties...

Who is the most annoying? Who would be most beneficial to the imperial power to kill?

Once the main contradiction threatening the imperial power is identified, they will quickly join forces with the secondary contradictions and cut off the butcher's knife in their hands without mercy!

His old man is the kind of person who is disgusted when he sees this sentence and is too lazy to pretend.

But to say that the old man does not value the people is definitely an injustice to him and a stigmatization of him!

…

The two of them had a tacit understanding and never mentioned the matter again.

They have moved far away from the center of power.

These things are not their responsibility, and it is not their turn to do so.

They don't need to be responsible for others, they only need to be responsible for themselves, each other, and their lives.

After Xu Miaoyun returned home, she started busy.

Prepare dry food, what should I do if it is easy to store, such as pancakes, but what should I do if it is too dry or hard?

Weaving, she also wanted to make new clothes when Zhu Di set off.

It’s the first time I’m a wife, and it’s the first time my husband is away from home.

Before she left, she was already worried about leaving. At the same time, she felt that no matter how prepared she was, nothing was good enough, as if there was still something missing...

"Ahhh!"
