Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 216 I am King Wu
"The old man has a false name, and I fear His Highness's ears will be polluted." Dai Sigong had a kind face, and he was not at all complacent about what Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Su said. "The big thing that needs to be done now is to focus on these victims in the city."

"Your Highness, don't worry about me being an old man."

This is the demeanor of a doctor who can save all living beings in my mind!Zhu Su nodded secretly, feeling a little more appreciative and looking forward to this old Daitou.

"Since Mr. Dai also said that Mr. Ru can't work any longer, then I will be responsible for the disaster victims in the west of the city." Zhu Su said to everyone with a faint smile. "Master Ru will rest in peace to recuperate from illness..."

"what?"

"No!"

The room suddenly exploded, Wei Guan showed shock, Ru Taisu was even more shocked and even pushed away the servant who was helping her.

"Since there is a risk of infection here, how can His Highness stay here? If there is an emergency, how will I explain to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" This was Wei Guan's attempt to move his emotions.

"His Highness is still young, how can he take on the responsibility of tens of thousands of people's lives? This matter is not a child's play, I hope His Highness be careful!"

Zhu Su twitched the corners of his mouth, he wanted to settle down with this Ru Taisu, but he didn't want this Ru Taisu to still hold prejudice against him.What is child's play?Could it be that he felt that he was just a brat who was going to play tricks on the disaster victims for a while?
Zhu Su, who rarely wanted to make a contribution, felt insulted, and his face became grim.

He also ignored that Ru Taisu was still ill and not recovering, and sarcastically said: "Ru Yushi is very capable and responsible. The west of the city is full of feces and urine, and sewage is flowing. Is this because you, Ru Yushi, have good governance?"

"How do you plan to deal with it? It's nothing more than maintaining the status quo, and abandoning it if there are victims of the epidemic."

"But have you ever thought about it, if you don't observe the spread of the epidemic for a while, the Tianfu in Suzhou will be reduced to purgatory in an instant! At that time, you, like a censor with a spring and autumn pen, can write this earth-shattering guilty?"

The implication: if you can't do it, just rest, stop beeping.Even if I'm messing around, can the situation be worse than it is now?

Ru Taisu's face turned purple from being choked by Zhu Su, and he coughed a few more times, but his neck was still stuck: "If there is a severe epidemic, it is also the destiny! I can't do anything, at least I can take it with myself! Could it be that His Highness can manipulate the destiny?" ?"

"The epidemic is the destiny? It's ridiculous! You are too vegetarian, do you want to be a useless person who's always talking about your heart and mind, and dying in the face of danger?"

These words are really too poisonous, Ru Taisu was about to refute, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, coughed a few times and managed to calm down, Zhu Su continued to speak boldly:
"Everything depends on man's effort, and man will conquer nature!"

"If I really have a way to prevent the epidemic, how about you become too vegetarian?"

The faces of everyone in the room changed, but after a while, they only thought Zhu Su was a young man talking wildly.But Yao Guangxiao's eyes flickered with divine light, and then quickly faded away.Ru Taisu froze, still stiffened his neck: "Even if Your Highness really has this method, just pass it on to me and the prefect of Wei! There is absolutely no reason for His Highness to do it himself."

Zhu Su smiled disdainfully.Although the two of them are considered good officials, they are still old-fashioned Confucian bureaucrats who inevitably lack courage.

It can be seen from the fact that they only want to place the victims in the city to "slowly die" and dare not take the risk of building a dam to control the water.Even for those water bandits, what they were thinking about was to imply that Zhu Su revised the letter to ask Lao Zhu to "be extrajudicial to the law", reduce Su Song's tax and win back the hearts of the people, so as to "surrender the enemy's soldiers without fighting", instead of killing the thieves. Pull out, completely eradicate this hidden danger.

If they were to be in charge and he was the assistant, this Ru Taisu treated himself like a child, how many of the policies he said would they be able to implement?

"My king has made up his mind. Lord Ru, you can recover from your illness with peace of mind." Zhu Su, with the posture of a self-willed son, unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a swish, and the words "For the country and the people" were impressively written on it.Ru Taisu looked stagnant. "Dog, bring some people so that you can take care of Ru Yushi and recuperate from his illness."

"Ah, it can't be said that Ru Yushi is also in danger of contracting the epidemic! In this case, he must be quarantined, and it must not be ignored! Dog, you must take good care of the surroundings here, and don't let Ru Yushi walk around."

"Epidemics don't care about high officials or small ones. Until Ru Yushi recovers from his illness, he will patrol the river and relieve disasters. This king will work harder, so let's take it together."

Hearing this, Ru Taisu was so angry that his beard and hair stood on end, disregarding the rage of his sick body, he pointed at Zhu Su as he did in the court hall, and said angrily: "You...you..."

"Important family and country affairs, how can you allow a kid in his teens to play tricks!"

"Do you want to put this old man under house arrest to seize power? This old man will never admit it! The rest of the people will never bow their heads!"

"The name is not right and the words are not right. There is absolutely no such precedent in this dynasty! Although you are ordered by His Majesty to inspect Su Song, you have no right...you have no right to deprive the old man of his position!"

"You... you are ordered by His Majesty to act recklessly, old man... this old man will definitely mobilize all colleagues to impeach you to imprison bureaucrats and seize power for yourself!"

"Zizhuan?" The more Ru Taisu became angrier, the more Zhu Su felt calm.He covered his lips with a fan, only showing a pair of smart and innocent eyes.

"The errand inspecting Su Song doesn't have this power, and this king has another identity, doesn't he have this power?"

"Another identity..." Ru Taisu was taken aback, unable to react for a moment. "What identity?"

"Hehe, Lord Ru and all of you may have forgotten." Zhu Su folded his fan and smiled triumphantly.

He paused every word, pointed to his nose with a folding fan and said:
"I, yes, Wu, Wang!"

"King Wu, the king of Wu land?"

"As the king of Wu, do you have the power to govern the officials in the domain? Do you have the right to intervene in the affairs of the domain?"

"You said, the affairs of the land of Wu, should I listen to you, the censor who patrols the river, or should I, the King of Wu, 'dedicate' myself?"

"Wu... King Wu?"

Ru Taisu was stunned, and Wei Guan, who was trying to persuade him to make peace, was stunned.Even Yao Guangxiao, Luo Guanzhong and Gou'er behind Zhu Su were slightly startled.

That's right, although on weekdays, one mouthful is one prince, and one sentence is one highness.

But everyone didn't notice that the ten-year-old boy in front of him was named "Wu" king by His Majesty today.

The word "Wu" is not just a noun, a title.What he refers to is that within a certain limited area of ​​Ming Dynasty, there is almost supreme power!
In name, he, Zhu Su, is the co-lord of Su Song, a military and political self-dedicated vassal king!
There used to be two kings of Wu in the world, one was Zhu Yuanzhang of the Western Wu, and the other was Zhang Shicheng of the Eastern Wu.As a result, people all over the world came to a general consensus that the land of Western Wu in the Great Ming Dynasty refers to Yingtian Emperor Capital, and Eastern Wu naturally refers to the Susong area where Zhang Shicheng once dominated.

Now that Ying Tian is the seat of the imperial capital, it is naturally impossible to use it as a vassal land.And Zhu Su was named the king of Wu by the old Zhu, since it is impossible for the emperor to vacate the capital to build a vassal for the prince.Zhu Su's fief is naturally Su Song, the land of Soochow Wu.

Although Zhu Su knew that after a period of time in history, Lao Zhu would change himself to the king of Zhou on the grounds that "the land of Wuyue is the heart of the imperial court and it is not suitable to build a vassal".

However, other people don't know about this!
As long as the title of King Wu is still on his head, he is legally the vassal king with the second highest decision-making power in Susong.

"This... this..." Ru Taisu was speechless, and it took her a long time to hold back a sentence: "Your Highness has not yet become a feudal clan, how can you rely on the name of King Wu?".

Before the words came out, and felt that these words violated taboo, before thinking clearly, Zhu Su interrupted directly: "This king has made up his mind, so let's do it like this!"

"Prefect Wei, lead me to the porridge shed! Mr. Dai is also welcome. As for Master Ru..."

"You take good care of it, everything has its own Wu and Wang!"

Saying that, he winked at Ru Taisu in a happy mood, led a large group of staff and guards, and left Ru Taisu's courtyard on his own.

"This this……"

"This kid... must be resentful about the past and deliberately angry with me!"

Ru Taisu didn't swallow a mouthful of phlegm, looked at Zhu Su's leaving back, and coughed tremblingly again.
