GBP Chapter 479 He's not filial to us at all!
Chapter 479 He's not filial to us at all!
Emperor Zhu smacked his lips, glanced at Empress Ma, and then lowered his head again.
How embarrassing! So incredibly embarrassing!
What did we say to the girl before?
We're saying we'll wait and see. With the Sun Gupu case, the plowshare case, and the blank seal case preceding them, no one should dare to jump out and court death.
But only a few days have passed since those words were spoken?
The banner of the rebels has been raised!
Biao'er has already sent someone to deliver the letter!
That traitor from Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been arrested!
Yeah, I've really embarrassed myself for what I said!
They weren't afraid of our emperor at all.
They weren't even intimidated by the fearsome reputations of Tiande and Boren.
Damn it, these people are really something!
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the more distressed he became. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Sister, we were wrong about this."
Empress Ma smiled, took Emperor Zhu's hand and patted it, comforting him, "It's not that you're wrong, it's that those people are insatiable."
"Besides, the situation is still under your control, and suppressing the rebellion will only take a moment."
"There's no need to feel so bad, ah."
Emperor Zhu sighed again and said, "I just feel like I've been made a fool of all these years, and I haven't even realized that something is wrong."
"If it weren't for that bastard, we might still be kept in the dark without even realizing it."
Empress Ma patted Emperor Zhu's hand again and said with a smile, "You always take on everything yourself, wishing you could do everything yourself."
"But you also have to consider how many years of experience they've accumulated."
"How many years have we accumulated?"
"How easy is it to surpass the foundation of two or three hundred years with just a few decades of accumulation?"
"And Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Zhu Yunsheng, weren't they all ministers who plotted to save the country? They were also kept in the dark."
"Especially Liu Bowen, he completely broke ties with the gentry of eastern Zhejiang and went to great lengths to suppress them. But who would have thought that he only took down a few small fry?"
At this point, Empress Ma couldn't help but smile again and said, "You should be secretly happy. It's better than no one exposing it for you than your good son-in-law did."
"It's like a boil; if you pop it sooner and cut away the rotten flesh, the person can still be fine."
"If we keep ignoring it, it might develop into a major threat at any time."
"Think about it, if he never exposes it and you never find out, then this trouble will have to be dealt with by our Biao'er."
"How can you feel good about that?"
Emperor Zhu felt a little better.
The girl is right; it's a good thing that it was revealed in advance.
At least Zhu Chongba is still young.
There's plenty of energy to deal with these trivial matters.
Especially since we have a good son-in-law.
That bastard always manages to come up with some unexpected new tricks.
Perhaps he can solve this problem?
Just as he thought of his good son-in-law, Emperor Zhu's face turned ugly again, and his mood became unpleasant once more.
Emperor Zhu snorted coldly and said, "That bastard! He's taken advantage of me again this time!"
Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu and said sarcastically, "You can't blame anyone else for this; you jumped into the pit yourself."
Speaking of this, Empress Ma felt both amused and exasperated.
There's a saying among the people that a son-in-law is like half a son.
But this father-in-law and son-in-law are quite something. The son-in-law is always digging pits for his father-in-law, and the father-in-law is actually willing to jump into those pits.
Just like this incident.
The son-in-law first mentioned building a ship in Dengzhou Prefecture, but then worried that it would cause chaos.
The father-in-law said it was impossible for the world to descend into chaos just because of shipbuilding.
The son-in-law said that as long as the news spread that Dengzhou was going to build ships, there would definitely be people rebelling.
The father-in-law, with a stiff neck and a dark face, said that no one dared to rebel, implying that the son-in-law was underestimating his formidable reputation.
Empress Ma sometimes wondered what sins she had committed in her past life to end up with such a husband and son-in-law.
Thinking of this, Empress Ma shook her head helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll go make you a bowl of noodles. As for the rest, let's see how to deal with Biao'er."
After a slight pause, Empress Ma added, "Also, have someone call our son-in-law, Jin'er, and Yu'er over. I'll make a few more bowls of noodles."
Ok?
Emperor Zhu's mood, which had just improved because he could eat noodles, immediately soured again.
Why should that bastard come and freeload off us?
He's not filial to his father-in-law at all!
I bother!
Seeing the reluctant Emperor Zhu, Empress Ma said with a smile, "You send someone to call him first, and I'll tell you how to make things difficult for your good son-in-law later."
Emperor Zhu's eyes lit up immediately, and he ordered Erhu, "Go and call that bastard, Jin'er, and Yu'er to come and eat noodles."
……
Yang Shaofeng leaned back in his recliner, sipping his tea while smiling as he gazed at the courtyard wall behind the government office.
Look at this wall, why is it built in such a pleasing way?
Also, look at the clouds in the sky, why are they so white?
So, will Dengzhou Prefecture get tens of thousands more laborers this time?
However, one thing must be admitted: the gentry of the Ming Dynasty were damn stubborn.
The Sun Gupu case.
The plowshare case.
The blank seal case.
How many officials and gentry have been slaughtered?
Why is it that they all just never learn their lesson?
Seeing Yang Shaofeng's absent-minded smile, Yu'er, who was sitting on the recliner next to him, immediately pouted and said to Jin'er, "I wonder if my husband is thinking about the Silla maid from Goryeo or the Hu woman from the Western Regions."
Jin'er said with a smile as she did her needlework, "You're wrong. Our husband, he's all bark and no bite. He doesn't actually care about the Silla maid or the Hu woman. What he cares about is..."
At this point, Jin'er turned her gaze to Yang Shaofeng and asked, "Husband, are you thinking about the laborers right now?"
Yang Shaofeng snapped out of his daze and looked at Jin'er, asking, "How did you know, my wife?"
Jin'er smiled and said, "Didn't my husband tell my godfather a few days ago that building ships would cause a rebellion?"
“We in Dengzhou Prefecture don’t build ships, yet you still bring this up with your godfather.”
"In my opinion, my husband already guessed that as soon as the news of building ships gets out, there will definitely be a rebellion."
"If someone rebels, the biggest benefit that Dengzhou Prefecture can gain is that it can ask its adoptive father for another batch of laborers."
Hearing Yu'er's analysis, Yang Shaofeng immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "My little thoughts can't be hidden from my wife at all."
Jin'er smiled and continued, "However, husband, don't be too happy yet."
Yang Shaofeng was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why?"
Before Jin'er could answer, Yu'er interjected, "If someone really rebels, then Godfather will definitely be unhappy. If Godfather is unhappy, then Godmother... hehe~"
