"A scholar who suffered from plague!"

It was then that Zhu Gaochi realized that Zhang Jue was deliberately trying to make a joke with him.

"These old coffins!" Zhu Gaochi smiled and cursed in his heart.

In fact, he wasn't angry too much. People joked with him and proved that they didn't treat him as an outsider. It's better to be a joke than to be on weekdays to be careful of being alienated.

Nowadays, not only the atmosphere in Nanshu's study room is good, but the atmosphere in the entire court is good.

The flood in Huaibei was finally settled, the victims had a place to settle, and the important roads in the north and south were also built. As long as there was no mistake, this year was another stable year.

"I'm going to see the emperor!"

"Keep to the prince!"

Zhu Yunxiu handed the Yaya in his arms to the turtlema, "Everyone is flat, look at the seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaochi stood in the front row, first glanced at Zhu Yunxiu, sitting cross-legged, and then looked at Liujin sitting upright on the side.

"These two are the grandsons that the old man loves the most!"

"Just just now! Xie Aiqing told me something!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled casually, "Someone sued the imperial envoy I appointed and the Xuzhou Ancient Road Preparatory Envoy."

"Hmm?" Everyone was shocked.

"Xie Aiqing, tell everyone!" Zhu Yunxiu picked up the teacup.

~~

One thing can be finished in just a few words.

The hall was quiet and everyone was pondering silently.

"Liang Ai, you proposed the ancient road and decided the route. Let's talk about it!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

Lian Zining looked solemn and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it should be punished severely!"

As he said, he emphasized his tone, "Severely punish those who complain!"

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

Lian Zi Ning gritted his teeth, "The imperial court built roads to benefit the country, the people, and even the kindness of future generations for a hundred years. It would be fine if the foolish people did not know the so-called failure to understand the court's painstaking efforts, but they even bargained with the government, and even... sued the imperial envoy of the dynasty!"

"I think that if such unruly people are not governed, everyone will learn this in the future. Whether it is the center of the court or the local government, you will inevitably be timid when you want to do things!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxiu did not express his opinion, pondered and looked at the others, "Xia Aiqing, tell me!"

Xia Shu, the Minister of Justice, thought a little, "Emperor, I have never agreed to the strict punishment and law to govern the world. But for the people who cannot distinguish between the minority and ignorance, I think they should be governed and tried." As he said, he paused and said, "For the ancient roads in the north and south, the imperial court spent more than one million yuan in silver and more than hundreds of thousands of yuan. How can the strategies that benefit the country and the people be delayed by several households?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded again, his attitude was very intriguing, "Bao Zhao is here, what do you say?"

"Of course, I will punish them severely!" Bao Zhao's eyes widened, "I said something inappropriately. This is the bad habit that I used to for them in the Ming Dynasty! If it were placed in the previous dynasty, let alone the court built roads and occupied their land. Even if the high-ranking officials and nobles took advantage of their abilities and annexed their fields, would they dare to make such a fuss?"

"Stop taking up their land, even if they beat them to death, what can they do? Now the government doesn't want money, but it's too little. He is still yelling to go to Beijing to sue Gaoyu? Let them come, and take it as a false accusation and accusation lock to show the world!"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded again, his eyes falling on Zhu Gaochi's face, "Hong Xi, you said!"

~~

"Father! My son has something to say!"

Suddenly, the crisp childish voice attracted everyone's attention, and Zhu Gaochi, who was about to speak, was also stunned.

"Nothing! Is there a place for you to talk?" Zhu Yunxiu frowned.

Liujin was not afraid of him, so he lowered his head and said, "I am not making a fool of myself, but I am the words of my beloved. I don't agree with a few of them!"

"What do you know?" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Who doesn't agree? Let's listen and say it well!"

Liujin grinned and lacked a few teeth. "My dear friend said, "It was because my Ming Dynasty was so nice to the people that he had become accustomed to the people's bad habits. I really think this sentence is wrong!"

Bao Zhao stood up and saluted, "Please let Your Highness make it clear!"

"You said that the Mongol Yuan was not good to the people, so the people dared not say anything even if they were beaten to death. But my Ming Dynasty was good to the people, so the people became unruly people, which is not right!" Liujin's crisp child voice echoed slowly, "The demise of the Mongol Yuan was because he did not regard the people as human beings. The reason why my Ming Dynasty was determined was because of the hearts of the people!"

"As Emperor Taizong of Tang said, water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. The millions of lions in the Mongol Yuan died in the final analysis in the hands of these people who dare not speak out."

"He does not regard the people as human beings, and the people naturally do not regard him as the orthodox Chinese. The reason why the powerful and powerful people in the Yuan Dynasty dared to oppress the people was because the Yuan Dynasty did not regard the people as human beings, and regarded them as slaves and livestock as private property!"

"They think they are the masters, and they should recognize whatever they say. There is no place for the people to speak, no place for reason, and no place for complaints. Therefore, if they lose the hearts of the people, they will feel resentful and regard the people as enemies, and they will wish they could eat their flesh alive. The ancients said that those who have gained the truth will have many helps, while those who have lost the truth will have few helps!"

"The Supreme Emperor Buyi raised his army and fought from south to north for seventeen years. In addition to the tigers in the Ming Dynasty, he also had a plan to ask the people to reopen the Han family's world!"

"The sage said that the people are the first. Our Han family has treated the people with courtesy throughout the ages, allowing the people to complain about unfair things, and punishing and oppressing good people."

"Zhang Xueshi said when he was studying, the Supreme Emperor pursued severe punishments and was fond of killing. However, from the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, the lawsuits of the people often have extra law and extrajudicial feelings. Therefore, the people often praise the Supreme Emperor as a wise king!"

"Why is the reason for the extrajudicial in law? It is because the Ming Dynasty allowed the people to use the law. Let the people have a place to reason and the people can reason. Then the court, the local government, must reason with the people!"

"Being reasonable, whether it makes sense or not, is much better than treating the people like pigs and dogs! There are troublemakers in the world, but more are good people. How can you not allow good people to speak out because of troublemakers?"

"If this is the case, it is not only a generalization, but what is different from the Mongol Yuan in the long run? In the Ming Dynasty, heaven governed all people. Because of the great Ming Dynasty, it was not so right. Because the officials had power, it was right. The people were right or wrong, there were laws, axioms and people's hearts to measure it. How can we just say it in one sentence?"

Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes burst into a warm look, staring at Liujin and restlessly.

Especially civil officials such as Zhang Jue, they seemed almost so excited that they could not do it themselves.

No matter how much six jin is, is it reasonable or not?

But it is rare for such a young child to tell this truth! Especially his identity, he is the crown prince and the future emperor. With a kind heart, he will not be wrong in the future.

"The heaven has eyes!" Bao Zhao asked Xiao Liujin to scold him, but he was not annoyed, but instead said excitedly, "God gave me a virtuous crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and there are successors in the country!"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yunxi scolded with a stern face, "You just talk nonsense when you know anything! You don't know what you say! You are so arrogant and have only been reading for a few years!" As he said that, he sent the teacup in his hand, "You're thirsty, moisten your throat!"

Seeing Liujin drinking in big mouthfuls, he quickly said, "Just moist, this tea is strong!"

Then he smiled and then looked stern, "Where did you hear these words?"

"Master Zhang, Master Gao, Master Yang taught!" Liu Jin said.

"I'm not very big, I'm very brave!" Zhu Yunxiu scolded him again, and said to the outsider, "The turtle is a shame, and each of them will be given one Korean ginseng and three silk pieces!"

~~

"He is still young and is spoiled by the Supreme Emperor on weekdays. What he says is inevitably a joke! It's even more fallacy."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministers, "Let's continue talking about this case, Hong Xi, you can tell me!"

"Actually, I think that the Crown Prince is right!" Zhu Gaochi stood up and said, "It is wrong for the people who do not allow the government to occupy land, but the court cannot punish him just because he is wrong. Their mistakes are fundamentally to protect their own interests!"

Everyone looked at Zhu Gaochi, very puzzled.

"The land belongs to others! Now it is the imperial court that is rushing to buy other people's land!" Zhu Gaochi continued, "Ordinary people have lived a life of one acre and three-point land for their entire lives, and even for several lifetimes, they have taken root here. It is not easy to move, and even if they have money, they are unwilling to find another way out!"

"They are very polite, but they can pay back the money on the official uniforms and bargain! Because they ask for a high price, they call them troublemakers. That's not a forced buying or selling?"

Lian Zining was angry, "Your Highness, please be careful, repairs are related to the livelihoods of the people in the north and the south..."

"What does it have to do with them? Yes, building roads is a good thing, but does it have anything to do with occupying other people's land?" Zhu Gaochi smiled, "Oh, just because building roads is a good thing, the court spent money on people, so he wanted to sell the land to the government?"

"Can you sacrifice these small groups of people just because most people are good? Then is it unfair to these small groups of people?"

"If this continues, will everything in the future be good to most people? Then a few people will pinch their noses and accept it?"

"It is certainly wrong for him to threaten the government at a sky-high price, but it is even more wrong for the government to use its power. Moreover, this case also involves killing people and turning their houses into ruins! That is their home! The belts tightened and the money saved from their teeth were saved, so they built such a home! It was destroyed like this!"

"Then, the government also said that they were unruly people. Is this reasonable?"

"With your Highness's opinion, let him ask for ten times the price? Let the construction period be delayed?" Zhang Ju said, "If other people heard about this, wouldn't everyone be like this, the court..."

"I didn't say it!" Zhu Gaochi smiled, "Are you reasonable? The prerequisite is impartial." As he said, he paused and continued, "Just as His Highness the Crown Prince said just now, the reason why the people dare to threaten the government to sue the emperor is because I, the Ming Dynasty, promised the people to use justice!"

"Since that's the case, you can't use power to occupy land." Zhu Gaochi said again, "The government has given twice the land price, which seems to be quite large. But think about it, where will they buy land with this money?"

"Who is willing to sell land? Only prodigal sons sell land! People who have lost their land cannot buy land after taking the money, so they have to leave their hometowns. Money will always be spent one day, but the land belongs to their descendants!"

"I say this from the perspective of the people. Now from the perspective of the government, the construction period cannot be delayed, the road needs to be repaired, and the people cannot develop the problem of lions talking big."

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi smiled, "Then just stop occupying his land. Wouldn't it be enough to just go around?"

"Isn't it more expensive to go around?" Lian Zining said loudly.

"It's too much to spend, but it's reasonable!" Zhu Gaochi spread his hands, "The government is afraid of spending more money, so he forces the land to occupy. That's unreasonable. People want more money and threaten the government is unreasonable. Then go around and spend more money to reason, and everyone is happy!"

"My Ming Dynasty allowed the people to use the law and to reason with the officials, but they did not listen to fallacies. At the same time, they did not force the people's land."

"You just said that if you give money, then other people will learn to be so difficult to deal with! Then go around and see who will say a lot of lions! Some people don't sell it, and there will always be someone who wants to sell it!"
