Chapter 2389 He is a rough man
"also?"
Ye Zheng was stunned and asked, "Who wants to go too?"
Zhu Feng said, "Just now, when we were discussing matters in the cabinet, Xu Shifeng also asked me for permission to go south to deal with this matter."
“What? Him?”
Ye Zheng immediately said with disdain: "He is just a rough guy, what can he solve?"
“…”
"Your Majesty, ignore him!"
Hearing him talk about the important affairs of the court in such a casual tone, and even "slandering" Xu Shifeng in this way, Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Although Xu Shifeng came from a military background, he was a Confucian general.
Moreover, he is handsome and elegant, and is the dream lover of many ladies from prominent families.
But in Ye Zheng's mouth, he became a "rough man".
Ye Zheng simply walked over to him, grabbed his arm as he had done in the past, and started to act like a spoiled brat: "Your Majesty, please let me go. That place is not for a rough man like him. The Jiangnan area is full of beautiful mountains and clear waters, it doesn't suit him."
Zhu Feng simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
He simply reached out and picked up a memorial on the table and began to read it. As he read, he said, "Then, give me a reason to let you go."
"That's easy,"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, think about this. The solution you and the Prince of Wei came up with, the one Shen Yaozong implemented in Feng'an County, was a radical solution to the problems of mulberry farmers and raw silk. They were rioting over a way out for their raw silk. Now that they have a way out, and the court can guarantee their income, why are they still rioting?"
“…”
"The common people are not fools. They should know that there is no benefit in making trouble with the government. They should quit while they are ahead."
“…”
"But now, with the benefits right in front of them, they're still making a fuss. There's only one possibility—"
"oh?"
Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at him: "What is it?"
Ye Zheng said solemnly: "They are not trying to solve the problem, they are just trying to make trouble!"
“…”
Ye Zheng continued, "But Your Majesty, think about it. If the common people don't benefit from it, why would they cause trouble with the government? If troops are really sent to suppress them, they will be the ones who suffer. Therefore, I am sure that these people who are causing trouble are not common people. Or, in other words, there is someone behind them directing and manipulating them, which is why this abnormal phenomenon has occurred!"
Zhu Feng looked at him without saying anything.
Just a slight flicker in his eyes.
Ye Zheng continued, "Therefore, I would like to ask for your permission to resolve this matter."
“…”
"If there really is someone behind this, then it goes without saying that they are the same people who controlled the bandits in Hot Moon Bay during the Shazhou Guard period!"
“…”
"I was just about to go find them and avenge that arrow!"
“…”
"So, Your Majesty, please let me go."
Zhu Feng had been listening to his previous analysis and nodded slightly, but after hearing the last two sentences, he couldn't help laughing. He glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "That's it. You're going there to seek revenge. Can I let you go?"
Ye Zheng immediately said, "If you don't let me go, are you going to let that rough fellow Xu Shifeng go?"
“…”
"What can he do there?"
Zhu Feng said with a half-smile: "He can do a lot more."
Ye Zheng became anxious when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot be partial!"
Zhu Feng said slowly, "You said it yourself. Those people making trouble must be instigated by someone behind the scenes. It's even possible that one of their people has infiltrated the rioters. In that case, what are you going to do?"
