Chapter 294 Staring at Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen
Chen Hong felt that his prince's appetite had become much bigger. Not only did he favor the two concubines in one night, but he even had to eat two breakfasts.
If Zhu Youxiao knew what Chen Hong was thinking, he would definitely kick him in the butt and then tell Chen Hong righteously:
This is not a meal at all, but a serious official meal.
Just like when I went out for official meals in my previous life, I either had a little before going, or I had a pad after I finished eating.
The breakfast was served quickly, with very simple white porridge, white steamed buns, four dishes of side dishes, and two boiled eggs.
"Uncle Emperor, sit down." Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhu Changxun, who was standing awkwardly, and sat down.
Zhu Youxiao had a great meal.
But for Zhu Changxun, he was not happy at all for this meal. He could be said to be very nervous, and his butt seemed to have thorns.
Although the emperor's nephew showed concern for him, Zhu Changxun was still afraid.
Yesterday, I accompanied my emperor nephew to watch the show for an afternoon, and then had another supper, but I just let myself spend 2 million taels.
After this breakfast, it may not be like this. Could it be that I have to pay another 2 million taels?
Zhu Youxiao didn't care about Zhu Changxun, but just tried his best to show his concern and respect for him. "Don't the emperor think the food is a little simpler?"
"Your Majesty, this is not the case. I just think this is very healthy, so I will eat it like this in the same way as my mother." Zhu Changxun's attitude was very respectful.
Just listen to this, I can't understand it. As for what Zhu Changxun was really thinking, Zhu Youxiao didn't care. This is a tool man.
After breakfast, Zhu Youxiao started to pull Zhu Changxun to have tea and chat.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, the rice in the capital is expensive. You don't have any property in the capital. This is not enough. I'm afraid the life of the emperor will not be easy in the future. In this way, I will reward you with a royal farm."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Zhu Changxun was stunned.
Why did you give yourself a royal farm?
You know, that is the personal industry of the emperor's nephew, and there is a lot of land there. Although the land in the capital is not as valuable as Jiangnan, it is also an industry, and the price is not low. Why are you willing to give it to yourself?
This made Zhu Changxun hesitate.
Why?
How could this look?
Zhu Youxiao didn't care what Zhu Changxun thought, but said in a very gentle tone: "Uncle, we are all a family. We will live a good life in the capital in the future. If you have nothing to do, you can go around the palace and walk around more."
"I thank Your Majesty." Zhu Changxun said hurriedly.
After paying 2 million taels, I was still worried. With this imperial village, I can really make my family feel better.
Although Zhu Changxun doubted why the emperor's nephew did this, the other party obviously did not give him any room to refuse, so Zhu Changxun chose to accept it.
Seeing that Zhu Changxun had accepted the imperial village he gave him, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I won't leave the emperor's uncle. I didn't go back all night last night, so I should have worried in the palace."
"Then I will leave." Zhu Changxun hurriedly bowed and said.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "You send the emperor's uncle out for me."
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed and sent Zhu Changxun out respectfully.
After both of them left, Zhu Youxiao leaned against the chair, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He began to think in his mind that Zhu Changxun was not enough and needed other people.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao’s meaning is very simple. He wants to make some money. And he makes some money on a large scale. This money can make him do a lot of things because he is really short of money.
Now the southwest is fighting, and there is also a expense. Although I don’t know how the battle is, I think it will not be too difficult to win. Then the rewards given to the soldiers will be a lot of money, and this money cannot be saved.
There is also the reorganization of the southwest and the post-war reconstruction, which all require money.
In addition, there will be more things to do next year. In this troublesome autumn, if you have some money in your hands, you will feel at ease. Zhu Youxiao has long wanted to find a place to get a lot of money.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already earned some income when opening a shop and selling glass, but the money there cannot be moved and it has to continue to expand outward, and the channels are slowly spreading across the country.
Zhu Youxiao could not have cut off the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time. He needed a more stable way to make money.
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and focused his eyes on the richer group of people in the Ming Dynasty.
This group of people is in the capital, which is easier to fiddle with. A more important point is that if something happens near the capital, you can stop the loss in time.
For such a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been wandering around the capital and wandering around the court. It is not that he doesn’t want to stretch out his hands, but that he cannot stretch out.
In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, if a decree is enacted nationwide, it is estimated that it will be all evil laws in the end.
This situation cannot be avoided when information is so developed in later generations, let alone in the Ming Dynasty?
Local officials are unreliable, have poor execution ability, are seriously corrupt, have officials but no country. If their own good policies continue, they will also make them do things bad, which will cause civil unrest.
So Zhu Youxiao has never done anything, just secretly planning to clean up the court.
Judging from the current situation, at least Shuntian Mansion can move.
Zhu Youxiao was preparing to get money from Shuntian Mansion. Zhu Changxun was just the first target, but it was not enough and he needed a second person.
While Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it, Chen Hong walked back from outside.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Send the emperor's uncle away?"
"He has left the palace." Chen Hong quickly agreed and said.
Nodding gently, Zhu Youxiao said, "If you let go of the news, I am very happy with what Lao Fu King did, so I rewarded him with an imperial village."
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong said respectfully.
Zhu Youxiao stood up, walked a few steps in the hall, and said, "Let the people in the palace prepare, I will watch the show tomorrow. Please invite Duke Cheng to me to the palace."
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong nodded quickly and agreed.
Although I don’t know why the emperor asked the Duke of the Kingdom, Chen Hong also knew that something was going to happen, so he seemed very cautious.
After this period of time, Chen Hong already has some understanding of Zhu Youxiao.
The emperor of my family can't say that he is diligent, and he can't even get along with diligent. His favorite thing to do every day is to sit in a rocking chair and bask in the sun, or he will play with the queen and do nothing all day long.
Once the emperor is very diligent and wants to do something, or when he starts to arrange people very diligently, it proves that the emperor is going to cause trouble, and it is often not a trivial matter.
So Chen Hong didn't dare to say a word.
The matter was used by Lao Fu King, and now another Duke Cheng was created. This matter is definitely a small matter.
Chen Hong felt that it would be better to stay away from him. If something happened, he would splash his blood.
Zhu Youxiao has no good feelings for Duke Cheng Guo.
The Duke of Chengguo was named Zhu Chunchen. His ancestors were Zhu Neng, and he was famous general of Jingnan. He made countless contributions to the battles in the south and north. He was named Duke of Chengguo. After his death, he was posthumously named King Dongping.
When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen wrote an edict, ordering his son-in-law Zhu Chunchen to lead the army and assist the crown prince Zhu Cixuan.
It can be said that Zhu Chunchen was a minister who was very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, or a nobleman who was very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.
However, Zhu Chunchen did not enter the palace to meet Emperor Chongzhen, but turned to Li Zicheng to present Qihuamen (i.e. Chaoyangmen), and sent Chen Yan to persuade him to advance, but was later executed by Li Zicheng.
As a hereditary noble of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he received the favor of the country in the world. As a result, such a noble noble who received the favor of the country in the world not only did not fight against Li Zicheng, but also surrendered on the spot and persuaded him to advance, as if he wanted to assist Li Zicheng ascend the throne.
If Zhu Youxiao could fall in love with such a person, there would be ghosts.
However, who has any usefulness and who can use this person, so Zhu Youxiao decisively arranged for him to enter the palace, and this matter must be done.
"Appoint it well. Watch the show in the afternoon and have dinner together in the evening." Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Hong.
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed and said.
At the same time, the war in the southwest has entered a critical moment.
After joining Chongqing's troops, Sun Chuanting began his own arrangements. With the cooperation of Chongqing Governor Xu Keqiu, he began to mobilize troops and successively recovered Suiyang, Meitan, Tongzi, Wujiang (all of which are now Guizhou Province).
At the same time, we contacted Chengdu, and the army joined forces to form a strangle force against the rebels directly in Sichuan.
The situation was very good, and the rebels of She Chongming retreated very quickly.
Qin Liangyu led Qin Minping to capture Erlang Pass, and General Du Wenhuan broke the Buddha Tu Pass.
She Chongming mobilized his army to fight with the Ming army in Jianwu (now west of Da Dam in Sichuan Province, south of Xingwen), Changning (now east of Gong County, Sichuan Province), Gong County, Yibin and other places, and launched segmented battles, with the two sides winning and losing.
But everyone knows that the final battle is coming soon.
At the same time, in Guizhou.
Before An Bangyan's rebellion could arise, he was extinguished by Yuan Keli.
Then Yuan Keli fought steadily, siege and blocked An Bangyan, and directly blocked An Bangyan back to the West Dragon Field. The war reached its last moment.
At the same time, the question book from Yuan Keli also entered the capital.
This question book is naturally a victory. Although the rebellion has not been fully suppressed, it has achieved some results in the end.
The question book was quickly sent to the palace and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.
In fact, this question book did not cause any major trouble in the capital, because these officials in the capital were not at all concerned about the war in the southwest and thought that it was nothing more than a few chieftains rebelled and sent some people to pacify it.
Only Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that there would be people rebelling there in the next few years. The people in the southwest were already unstable, and they already felt that the Ming Dynasty was no longer good.
This time, the imperial court quelled the rebellion so quickly, which could also make some people calm down. Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with this, which was also a basis.
Now is not the time to argue with them.
You wait, I have finished cleaning up the north, see if I will clean up you!
Whether it is the toasts in the southwest or the places further south, they all have to be cleaned up!
But at that time, it would be not just on the road, but the Ming Dynasty could send warships.
But now I am a poor emperor, and there is no chance to build a navy by myself.
People are poor and have short ambitions, while horses are thin and have long hair.
The emperor was blind even if he had no money.
