Chapter 150 Rumors Change, Zhu Di's Charges
As Fang Xing's mood stabilized, even Xiaobai dared to inquire about gossip and came back to spread the word.
"Young master, it is said that you have lost a peerless secret book. If you learn it, you can at least be a county magistrate!"
Fang Xing put down the book in his hand, and lazily said, "Explore again!"
Xiaobai who got the order immediately ran away with the bell, and Fang Xing got Zhang Shuhui's white eyes.
"Just tease her!"
Fang Xing lay on the armchair, wondering whose nail Qiu Ju was.
It was impossible for the King of Han. From that meeting, Fang Xing knew that the King of Han in the history books was probably a loser, so in order to set off the wiseness of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, he was despised by the historians.
And King Zhao is in Beiping, but...
"Hey! Don't want to!"
Fang Xing didn't want to move his head, so he simply moved, resting his head on Zhang Shuhui's lap, and sighed contentedly, "I really don't want to move anymore."
"Master, I..."
"Ahem!"
Fang Xing quickly moved his head back and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, there are rumors that your secret books are useless and can only mislead your children!"
"oh!"
Xiaobai went out, in a secluded place, couldn't help touching his front and back, and said with a small mouth: "I've grown up!"
"Brother Dehua, it is rumored that your lost cheats can save lives and death!"
Zhu Zhanji shook the folding fan and said with a smile.
Ma Su also couldn't help but said: "Teacher, some people say that your cheats can be cultivated into masters like Guiguzi and Zhang Tianshi."
Fang Xing immediately sat cross-legged on the chair, and said solemnly: "Then you see... Shall I find a shrine to confess myself in the future?"
As the incident unfolded, Fang Xing's lost 'cheat book' has attracted the attention of the gangsters in the capital.
"Pay attention! If there are strangers coming and going, you must tell us, or your business will be ruined!"
There are many big men on the streets of the capital, and they ask those businessmen to pay attention to the presence of strangers, and report immediately if there are sneaky strangers.
The governor of Yingtianfu recently felt that the folk customs in the capital are in great order, so he was satisfied and submitted a memorial to claim credit.
Seeing this memorial, Zhu Di recalled Ji Gang's information, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Great heaven's merits for yourself, shameless!"
So the first big impact of Fang Xing's throwing of things appeared.
Fu Yin was reprimanded by Zhu Di for being shameless, and he lost his official position and went home to eat old rice. This matter spread throughout the capital in an instant.
So he got a cheap new governor, and Yu Qian, the former prefect of Jianchang, took office. The first thing he did after he took office was to crack down on those gangsters, and Ying Tianfu's prison was overcrowded for a while.
Fang Xing has some free time recently, so he often goes into the warehouse to look for books to read, and finally found more than ten pirated novels.
"What? Zhu Di actually killed 3,000 court ladies alive?"
Fang Xing dropped the book, and then invited Liang Zhong who brought Wanwan to play.
As soon as Liang Zhong came in, he teased: "Mr. Fang, it is said that those secret books you lost can make people rejuvenate!"
Fang Xing said with a mysterious face: "Actually, it's far more than that, Lao Liang, let me tell you! Those secret books record how to turn stone into gold, and this is just one of the secret skills!"
Liang Zhong raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I didn't say anything just now."
Fang Xing said seriously: "Old Liang, I want to ask a question, don't get me wrong, I don't want to pry into any secrets."
"you say."
Fang Xing glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Does our Daming have many people who are good at crafting?"
Liang Zhong was dumbfounded. He tilted his neck and looked at Fang Xing, as if he was looking at a fool, before he sighed, "Mr. Fang, where did you hear that?"
Fang Xing also felt that there might be something wrong with this matter, but he still bite the bullet and said: "I heard from a Korean.
"
"I bother!"
Liang Zhong took a sip at Beibei, and scolded angrily, "Goreo bastard, you are so frivolous!"
"It's a serious crime to be cut alive. It's rare for me to see it. How can Guochao support so many people?"
If it was during the Hongwu period, there were still some people. Because there are too many corrupt officials, Lao Zhu needs these craftsmen to peel people's skins, and then fill them with thatch to intimidate those successors.
If you dare to embezzle again, this is what you will end up waiting for!
Fang Xing continued to ask unwillingly: "Then what if Daming wants to kill thousands of people alive one day?"
"Mr. Fang, you didn't come to tease me today, did you?"
Ever since Fang Xing spoke up for Liang Zhong, the two talked casually as if they were old friends.
Liang Zhong said contemptuously: "If thousands of people are killed alive, it will be written in the history books that they will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"
No matter how cruel the emperor is, he has to worry about his own reputation. Especially Zhu Di, who was holding back his energy and wanted to leave a good name in the history books.
Seeing that Fang Xing was feeling resentful, Liang Zhong persuaded: "Mr. Fang, don't believe those Korean people, they just rely on the fact that there are Korean concubines in the palace, so after entering the palace, it's like arriving from the countryside. A place of great wealth and honor. And then those who return to the country will talk nonsense and talk nonsense."
In order to strengthen persuasion, Liang Zhong also cited an example.
"A few years ago, a wet nurse of a concubine in Korea returned to China. This woman once saw His Highness the Crown Prince scolding a servant. Guess what happened?"
Fang Xing had some ominous premonition: The bloodline of the most powerful country in the universe couldn't be forged at this time, right?
Liang Zhong said: "When this woman returned home, she brags everywhere about how powerful she was in the Daming Palace, and then made the palace a place similar to the residence of the gods. In the end, she actually said that His Royal Highness would whip ten people before dinner. Only after the servants have an appetite."
Fang Xing felt very empty, and asked a little boringly, "What happened next?"
"Later? Later, someone from Ming Dynasty heard about this incident and immediately reprimanded Gao Li for being unfaithful. Afterwards, this incident was lost to oblivion."
Fang Xing meditated alone. Gradually, he recovered from the shock.
According to Manqing records, there were more than 100,000 eunuchs in the imperial palace during the reign of Chongzhen. Leaving aside whether the imperial palace can accommodate and support so many eunuchs when the finances have already collapsed, there is some room for discussion based on my "Great Qing"'s consistent "correctness".
The key point is that during the time of my "Sacred Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty", there were only 700 eunuchs in the imperial palace. This...
This ranges from more than one hundred thousand to seven hundred. What is the difference between the Forbidden City and a ghost city?
It is said that the historical data of killing 3,000 court ladies came from the records of Goryeo, and it was also said by a concubine's wet nurse.
I say! If this happened, the diaries of various literati in Ming Dynasty would have been filled with it long ago, and there is no need to go to Korea to find historical materials!
Besides, are there three thousand maids in the palace?
Fang Xing didn't know, and it was difficult to ask, otherwise he would be suspected of spying on the Forbidden Palace.
"Your Majesty once said this about the Korean people, saying that the women you pay tribute to are fat, pockmarked, and short, all of which are not good! It's just because of your king's wishes that I conferred the concubine's concubine, Zhao Rong’s Zhaorong, all seats are given!”
"Hahaha!"
Fang Xing couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.
Liang Zhong also laughed, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a lot softer when they saw the little Princess Wanwan playing with the big girl outside.
"Haven't found it yet?"
Fang Xing asked a question without thinking, and Liang Zhong answered.
"No, I found that person, but he was in a dry well."
