Chapter 999: Another Beaten
The people did not understand why the eighth prince, who was extremely guilty, was carried to the court, and the knife was put on his neck, but the emperor suddenly issued a pardon order. He didn't know what happened in the palace, but he only knew that Prince Sheng's mansion became lively again, and all the things carried out from the mansion were sent back, and there were a lot of rewards. They listened to the eunuchs in the palace singing gift list at the door of Prince Sheng's mansion that day. The things that the emperor rewarded sounded more and better than the original things in Prince Sheng's mansion.
The people didn't understand why, and they complained one by one, but they didn't dare to speak out on the street, so they could only hide in their own homes and sulk. They could live better in the four directions of east and south, after all, they were bystanders, and their intuitive feelings were a little worse. But the poor people living in the north of the city were in trouble. They lived in the house built by the Royal Palace and used daily necessities purchased by the Royal Palace. They scolded the Eighth Prince three times every morning, noon and evening, and also brought Emperor Tianwu to scold him.
Nowadays, the people in the north of the city have an unwritten rule, that is, when they meet, they first curse the emperor, the eighth son, and the court, and then talk about other things. No one is allowed to report the curse. If anyone exposes this matter, even if the people in the north of the city are guilty of beheading, they will tear the traitors.
But what if you scold me? The imperial edict was sent by the emperor. They used to dare to use the cabbage to smash the gate of the Prince Sheng’s Mansion, but they did not dare to smash the palace gate of the palace no matter what. Everyone understood that it was considered a treason and would be beheaded on the spot.
As for the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo, now he is ill in the palace. He suffered some crimes in the death row, especially his legs, and some of his illnesses. Emperor Tianwu felt very distressed and was very upset about this. He found all the imperial physicians in the palace to take turns to treat his "most beloved son". In the end, the Eighth Prince's injury was confirmed to be treated by Sun Qi, and Emperor Tianwu also left Sun Qi in the Prince Sheng's Mansion, allowing him to guard the Eighth Prince all the time, and he could not be careless for a moment.
Sun Qi's medical skills are still good. At least he was attracted by Song Kang at the beginning, so he was not an ordinary doctor. He would treat Xuan Tianmo, and Xuan Tianmo's legs were much better. However, the medicines Sun Qi used to name were unique to Baicaotang, which involved people from Prince Sheng's Mansion who had to go to Baicaotang to buy medicine frequently. Baicaotang was originally unwelcome, but the eighth prince had the imperial destiny, which forced Baicaotang to obey.
Yao Xuan personally talked to Feng Yuheng about this matter and asked Feng Yuheng how to deal with it. After hearing this, Feng Yuheng only said: "Give him medicine, give him as much as possible, but you must ask him for money and how much money should be. Give me a tenfold increase. Do he like to buy it?"
In fact, let alone ten times, even twenty times, Xuan Tianmo has to buy it. After all, Baicaotang’s good medicine is hard to find in the world, and everyone understands this principle.
After almost ten days of time, Xuan Tianmo's legs were already big, but he had some rheumatism, but it did not affect his walking. It was almost the New Year, and the first thing Xuan Tianmo could do after he got up was to prepare silver immediately, to compensate the poor in the north of the city and distribute New Year's goods.
No one has any doubts about this move. The Sheng Palace went very smoothly. It took only one day to prepare all the silver and New Year goods. However, the staff at the mansion raised different opinions. They said to Xuan Tianmo: "Last time it was because of the food. This time, Your Highness should not send any New Year goods again? It would be better to turn those things into silver. Those untouchables were happier to see the silver."
Xuan Tianmo thought that this was the case, so he heard the staff's words and returned the New Year's goods and exchanged them for silver. This time, he personally took his guards to the north of the city to send money. Until he saw the newly built house in a short time, the hatred in his heart surged again. Unexpectedly, he came up with a way to take Zhu Kongshan to the capital to save his reputation, but in the end he made wedding dresses for Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. He worked for half a winter, but he was not as busy as the other party. He only spent some money to gain so many good reputations, and left so many houses that would have always existed in the north of the city.
Now he saw these houses that were particularly annoying, and he wished he could demolish them on the spot. Since it was the north of the city, it would have to look like the north of the city. These untouchables should live in dilapidated temples, wear shabby clothes, and even freeze a few to death every day in winter. But what is this now? If all the untouchables live in good houses, then what are they?
However, this idea was just wandering around in my heart. On the surface, Xuan Tianmo still had to look like a good person. After all, he came here today to restore some reputation as much as possible. Although Emperor Tianwu has tried his best to protect him, he still has to do what he should do outside. It is not enough to have only one emperor to help him. Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world. He understands this principle.
As soon as Xuan Tianmo arrived in the north of the city, he got off the palace car and led a group of guards holding silver to knock on the door door. People opened the door and saw that it was the Eighth Prince who scolded a hundred times a day, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while. After all, they were princes, so it would be fine if they cursed behind their backs, but they just accepted Xuan Tianmo's money, and people were a little awkward. They were short-handed and eaten by people. What is this money? Is this hush money? If I collect it, would I have to say the Eighth Prince's good in the future? Or would I hold back all my dissatisfaction in the past?
People felt that they would probably have to suffer internal injuries when they held back, so no one took the money and walked out of their homes. They stood on the streets north of the city and watched the scene calmly, guessing which one the harming prince was singing today.
More and more people stood up on the street, and everyone at home came out, standing densely with crowds. Seeing that people were not accepting money, Xuan Tianmo knew that these untouchables must have a barrier against him. He tried his best to be kind and said to the people helplessly: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, and I also know that you must have scolded me thousands of times in your heart. But what I want to say is about the deaths of the people in the north of the city.
The emperor has made a clear ruling on the death of the people. Everything was done by Zhu Kongshan and the Zhu family. They changed the winter clothes of Concubine Shu and added a lot of poison to the porridge, which caused the tragedy in the north of the city. Now, the Zhu family has been executed, which can be regarded as paying the lives of the dead people. I am here today, hoping that your life will be better, so I have prepared silver for each household and everyone, hoping that everyone can accept my wishes."
It was nothing wrong for him to push the matter to Zhu Kongshan, because it was originally done by Zhu Kongshan, and he told the truth. But it was just such a truth. No one in the north of the city was willing to believe it. Even after hearing the news that he pushed the mistake to Zhu Kongshan and the Zhu family was culled, the poor people in the north of the city were angry and did not dare to face the eighth prince in person and did not do the right thing. Anyway, because of the Baicaotang incident, there was no one who had beaten this person on the street.
Therefore, giving away silver was a good thing, but it eventually turned out to be the Eighth Prince being surrounded by all the people in the north of the city.
Xuan Tianmo was frightened. He didn't expect the people to be so excited. He thought money could solve everything, but he didn't expect that it would be impossible in this matter. During the siege, the guards threw away the silver in their hands in order to protect him. The silver was scattered on the ground and was also stolen by people. Unfortunately, people did not snatch flowers, but snatched people. Large pieces of silver dollars were smashed on Xuan Tianmo's head, and in a few strokes, he smashed two big bags of his head out.
The guards tried every possible way to protect him from evacuation, and even pulled out the knife. Only then did they scare away some timid people and finally rushed out a way. Xuan Tianmo fled back to the palace car in a panic. The driver drove the car and ran for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuan Tianmo was so depressed that he couldn't understand what these untouchables wanted to do if they didn't want money?
But the guards around him reminded him: "Your Highness, the silver was also left by them."
Xuan Tianmo was stunned, and then remembered the fact that someone had just smashed his head with silver. When he thought about it, the big bag on his head hurt even more. He was so angry that he kicked the guard hard: "I can't even see the money. What are you doing when I raise you?"
The palace car rushed all the way and finally left the boundary of the north of the city. When he arrived at the bustling and bustling streets, Xuan Tianmo felt relieved. Even if it was safe here, the untouchables in the north of the city would not chase this place. Damn it, he finally managed to raise his legs, but he didn't expect to hurt his head again.
On the bustling streets, the palace car was walking very slowly, and after walking for a while, it even stopped. Xuan Tianmo asked dissatisfiedly: "Why did it stop?"
The driver outside said, "Go back to Your Highness, we have a head-on with the car from the Yuan Palace. Do you want them to pass first?"
The Yuan King was the second prince. As a younger brother, Xuan Tianmo should give in. This should be put in the past, and the coachman would give in without asking. But now is different from the past. His Highness is proud and is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. The second prince has never fought for it and has not made much achievements in the merits and government affairs. This made the coachman of Prince Sheng's mansion think that the eighth prince now no longer needs to follow the principle of brothers first and brothers first.
After the coachman asked this question, before Xuan Tianmo could answer, a crisp voice came from outside, "The carriage in Prince Sheng's Mansion? Is it the Eighth Uncle inside?"
Xuan Tianmo could hear the sound. It was his eldest nephew Xuan Feiyu. Thinking again, it was the end of the year that Xuan Feiyu should come back after studying in Xiaozhou. No matter what, he still loved his nephew a little. He was about to get up and lift the curtain to talk, but when he saw that he was embarrassed, he felt that he was really embarrassed in front of the child, so he simply waved his hand to the guard and signaled that he was not here, and sent Xuan Feiyu away.
