Chapter six hundred and eighty ninth: the widow is sick
After the meal ended, the only two people were left in the room, Zhu Youzhen and Fan Sheng. Then Zhu Youzhen asked, "You talked about the medical case before, what is the body of the father?"
Fan Sheng smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Since you entered Chang'an, you rarely leave the palace. You have become stronger day by day. Your Highness also knows that Your Majesty was originally very majestic, but now you are going further, there are more or less problems. However, apart from the inconvenience of mobility, there are no major problems."
"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Youzhen was happy. It was not that he was so filial, but that his wings had not really become hard yet. If there was a big problem with his body and he was not going to be a big deal, in the current situation, his elder brother Zhu Youyu would definitely be on the throne. Once the boss gets on the throne, how can he be the third brother? Being an idle prince is a bargain, he will be a good one.
"But Your Majesty has an old problem, but you can't change it." Fan Sheng curled his smile and said seriously: "And it's getting worse and worse."
"I am sick!" Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "This is not a big problem, right?"
"Although it's not a big problem, it depends on people." Fan Sheng's voice was almost unheard.
Obedient and listened to the voice. When he heard Fan Sheng say this, Zhu Youzhen immediately realized the mystery inside, "So, my father touched some people he shouldn't have touched? Since that's the case, why not deal with it quickly?"
"I can't handle it." Fan Sheng glanced at Zhu Youzhen and said.
"Who is it?"
"The eldest princess!"
With a bang, Zhu Youzhen was so scared that she fell to the ground.
"Why is this? Absurd and nonsense." Zhu Youzhen's face turned red after jumping from the ground. The so-called princess is naturally the wife of his elder brother Zhu Youyu. "Does he know about the Dianshuo?"
"I should not know it at the moment." Fan Sheng said: "There should be only the queen, Jingxiang and me, except for the parties involved. Jingxiang learned about this matter through other channels."
"Why don't you care about the mother?"
"The Queen has always been afraid of Your Majesty. Now Your Majesty has repeatedly summoned the Grand Princess to the palace through the Queen." Fan Sheng said: "Your Majesty seems to be obsessed with this feeling."
Zhu Youzhen punched the table hard, but didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, I won't do my business in the end."
"Let's watch the changes!" Fan Sheng said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Chang'an affairs, you will have to follow the rules with one hand."
"Hao Ren is still very honest now? His business is an important source of wealth for me."
"Don't worry, he has a junior staring at the third prince!" Fan Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, that Xu Xiang, Chen Fu, Tian Guofeng, I want to take a look again."
"You can see if you want!" Zhu Youzhen didn't care, "But Xu Xiang and Chen Fu are not as stupid as Tian Guofeng. They are smart. Don't be obsessed with each other. I don't want them to think that I don't trust them."
"It seems that the Third Prince attaches great importance to these people!"
"Xu Xiang is a good person in the management of the place. Tian Guofeng is unparalleled in charge. Chen Fu's archery skills are rare. You know, I am now in charge of people and I lack capable people." Zhu Youzhen said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Third. I will only watch and not alarm them. Maybe I will check their past from the side." Fan Sheng said: "This is also for the sake of Your Highness Third's plan."
"Of course I will pay attention to it."
Xu Xiang, who Fan Sheng wanted to inspect, is really working hard now. When he was receiving training among the inner guards, Li Ze, who was still the coach of Wuwei, taught them all classes and said something that Xu Xiang still remembers.
A successful spy sometimes has to cheat himself.
Now Xu Xiang is trying hard to approach this direction, and he is serving Zhu Youzhen very seriously. After taking office as the prefect of Tai'an, he has hardly lived in the mansion, but has ridden a horse and runs all the way through Tai'an with his guards.
He did a lot of things.
He killed many people.
He is very high-profile and never restrains.
In Zhu Youzhen's view, everything Xu Xiang did was to build a solid base for him so that he could withdraw a large number of people from Qingzhou in a good manner.
The resettlement of more than 100,000 people is really not an easy task, but in Xu Xiang's hands, it was unexpectedly done. Of course, in order to complete these tasks and to allow these more than 100,000 people to live and work in Tai'an, Xu Xiang killed many landlords and local tyrants in Tai'an.
It’s easy to find excuses. Which of these people has not colluded with the unlucky prefect of Tai'an?
Kill people, lose birth, and then allocate the vacant land to those newcomers. Xu Xiang was very skilled in this set, because this set was originally very skilled in assembly line operations under Li Ze's rule. Xu Xiang was just copied.
And Xu Xiang didn't think that this move would arouse others' suspicion.
The more calm he is, the more trustworthy he is.
Tai'an is already quite impressed now. His reputation as the prefect of Tai'an has spread far and wide. It can be said that it is highly respected by the people of Tai'an. Even those outsiders who were forced to move to Qingzhou and others could not find any flaws to the prefect of Tai'an except to give a thumbs up.
When Zhu Youzhen's immigration was the largest, Cao Xuan from the Tianping Army had come here in person. Cao Xuan was worried that such a large-scale immigration would cause unrest and other unexpected events. He originally wanted to come here to suppress it himself. Unexpectedly, when he came to Tai'an, he saw an orderly scenery. Although the local people and those who moved in were also rubbed under Xu Xiang's arrangement, they were extremely calm and the resettlement work was extremely smooth.
This surprised Cao Xuan. In his letter to Zhu Youzhen, he lamented that he did have the destiny. A heavy rain blocked the Tang army's attack and bought enough time for Zhu Youzhen. On the road, he picked up a few bandits, and there were powerful generals who attacked cities and villages, as well as capable officials who could manage the local area. In the letter, Xu Xiang really praised him well.
However, Xu Xiang encountered a tough bone today. It was a coincidence that when he was inspecting the sowing of winter wheat this year, he actually encountered a powerful man who forced the people to take the land under his nose.
Of course, those who dare to do this are tough guys. The leader is the famous man in front of the third prince Zhu Youzhen, Sun Tonglin's in-laws Zhou clan. And those who are being robbed have some relationship with the Zhou clan. When they were in Qingzhou, these people were originally tenants of the Zhou clan. When they arrived in Tai'an, they were allocated their own fields, so naturally they no longer had to farm for the Zhou clan.
In my heart, I had a sense of awe of the people of the Zhou family. Even though I was far away from my hometown, the poor were still poor, and the powerful were still powerful. Without a few words of arguments and a few whips, these ordinary people did not dare to resist at all except crying.
Xu Xiang was immediately angry.
"Where did you come from the nanny? You dare to take care of your grandfather's affairs?" Zhou Hao, the leader, looked at Xu Xiang who was walking over proudly. Today, Xu Xiang was wearing casual clothes, and only followed several guards behind him. The team of dozens of followers traveling with Zhou Hao was worth mentioning.
"Dare you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?" Xu Xiang narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhou Hao, and said coldly.
"I am? Who are you?" Zhou Hao was a little polite when he heard that he was an official.
"I am Xu Xiang!"
"Oh, it's Xu Fujun!" Zhou Hao laughed, "This is really a flood that has washed away the Nongwang Temple, I am..."
"I know you are Zhou Hao, the eldest son of Zhou!" Xu Xiang snorted coldly and said, "You Zhou clan moved to Tai'an. According to the rule of 100 acres per person, your Zhou clan has already divided tens of thousands of acres of land. Why do you dare to drive these farmers to occupy their land and think that I am a decoration?"
Without saying three words, Xu Xiang's banditry spirit was revealed.
Looking at Xu Xiang's appearance, Zhou Hao's expression gradually became colder. Xu Xiang, of course he knew, but he only knew, but his father-in-law was Sun Tonglin, who was the third prince who now relied heavily on. He really didn't see the little Tai'an prefect.
"Xu Fujun, you did allocate tens of thousands of acres of land to the Zhou family, but only half of the irrigated land was left. The rest were slopes and sand. I didn't force them to steal them, but I just wanted to change them with them." Zhou Hao pointed to the few farmers who were trembling on the side.
"I'll change it. Use your own slopes and sand to exchange for the water irrigated land that these farmers have sown. It's really good to make a decision!" Xu Xianglong thought, "Give you a chance, get out of here. From now on, be a human being for me honestly, otherwise I will let you go without food."
"Oh, give you some color, you've opened a dyeing workshop!" Zhou Hao laughed furiously, and waved his hand, and the rich servants surrounded Xu Xiang and the others. "A little magistrate dares to challenge me. Do you believe that I can immediately change the third prince to another magistrate?"
Xu Xiang stared at Zhou Hao who was approaching, and suddenly smiled, stepped forward and put his hand around Zhou Hao's neck. Under the stuttering gaze of everyone, the prefect dressed in a literati took out a small knife from his waist, and with a loud bang, he pierced Zhou Hao's thigh with a backhand.
Zhou Hao screamed in silence.
The surrounding Haofu was shocked and was about to surge up. Xu Xiang put the knife on Zhou Hao's neck and said coldly: "Whoever dares to take another step forward, I will let him reincarnate. Bastard, dare to threaten me, but don't even think about who I am?"
It was not until this moment that everyone remembered that this prefect was the leader of Mount Tai bandits.
