The princes of the Ming Dynasty have always worked with less money and more work, which is the most relaxing.

Why did the Ming Dynasty have so many strange vassal kings? They are completely idle diseases?

Before Zhu Shouyong, the king of Lu, got up, was woken up from his sleep by the eunuchs.

Of course, the reason why the eunuchs dared to wake up King Lu from the bed was because King Lu had explained in advance that if there was any news from Kong's family, he would tell him immediately.

"Has the tiger thieves attacked the city?" King Zhu Shouyong of Lu opened his eyes and sat up from the bed with a nervous look on his face.

The eunuch on the side comforted the eunuch, "Don't worry, the man from the government office has arrived. He arrived outside the palace gate early in the morning and brought news about the tiger thief. I was thinking about your explanation last night, for fear of missing the matter you gave."

Zhu Shouyong rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hands and said, "Let me serve me to dress, I want to wash up."

When I heard that it was a tiger flag, my sleepiness suddenly faded away without a trace.

Since the army of tiger flags attacked Shandong, he has been worried all day long. Now the army of tiger flags has arrived in Jining City. As the King of Lu, the thing he is most worried about every day is that the army of tiger flags will come to attack Ziyang City.

Although the King of Lu was not in the position of great power, he was also the most noble.

Once the city of Ziyang is broken, even his life, the King of Lu may be lost, not to mention the wealthy days he has now.

After serving Zhu Shouyong to wash up, the palace maid changed into a purple robe for him.

As for breakfast, Zhu Shouyong no longer cared about going to eat and went straight to the front hall to meet the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture.

"See Your Highness, King Lu."

Under the leadership of the Yanzhou Prefect, a group of officials bowed to Zhu Shouyong.

Zhu Shouyong came to the main seat and sat down, facing the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture, and asked, "Tell me quickly, have the tiger thief agreed to withdraw the army?"

The Yanzhou Prefecture officials present looked at one of the people among them at the same time.

"Student Kong Yinjing, please see Your Highness." Under the eyes of the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture, Kong Yinjing stood up and bowed deeply to King Zhu Shouyong, Lu.

Zhu Shouyong glanced at Kong Yinjing who was talking, and he had no impression of him.

But from the other party's name, it is not difficult to guess that it is a person from the Kong family in Qufu.

But he still asked, "Are you from the Kong family in Qufu?"

"The student comes from Qufu, and the contemporary Yanshenggong is the student's clan brother." Kong Yinjing explained his identity.

Zhu Shouyong nodded slightly. In fact, he didn't care what the other party had to do with Yan Shenggong. He only thought about the tiger flag in Jiningzhou and asked: "I heard that your Kong family sent someone to Jiningzhou to meet the tiger flag. Has the person who went to Jiningzhou come?"

As he said that, his eyes glanced around the crowd in front of him.

"It was the student who went to Jining Prefecture." Kong Yinjing owed slightly.

When he heard that the person who went to Jining Prefecture was Kong Yinjing in front of him, King Zhu Shouyong of Lu asked quickly: "You went to Jining Prefecture and saw the leader of the tiger thief. Have they ever agreed to withdraw the army?"

"No." Kong Yinzhi shook his head.

Hearing this, Zhu Shouyong's body softened, he collapsed in his seat, muttering, "You guys may be the Kong family in Qufu! Why don't these thieves even sell your Kong family's face?"

In his eyes, no one dared not to sell the face of the Kong family, a thousand-year-old family in Qufu.

Even when he, the King of Lu, competed with Kong for a piece of land, he would mostly give in.

"Your Highness, since the tiger thief does not retreat, they may come to attack Ziyang soon. Please come out with an idea." The prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture said to Zhu Shouyong.

Local prefects like him not only need to guard the people, but also be responsible for staring at the vassal palaces, which plays a certain role in making clamps.

King Zhu Shouyong of Lu glanced at the Yanzhou Prefecture who was talking and said, "It is your business to guard the place. I have no right to interfere, let alone interfere."

He is not stupid either. Although he is a vassal king, the court does not give it to the vassal kings in military and political rights.

Since Emperor Taizong, all the vassal kings have high status and no power, nameless and untrue, and cannot interfere in local government affairs, especially in the army, and they cannot even touch them.

"Your Highness does not need to intervene. Your Highness only needs to boost the morale of the defenders in the city." The prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture stared at King Zhu Shouyong of Lu with a bright look.

Zhu Shouyong frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "How do you want me to boost the morale of the defenders?"

"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. If Your Highness can give some of the silver to the soldiers of the defenders, the subordinates think that as long as the defenders are as powerful as the rainbow, they can still defend Ziyang City." The prefect of Yanzhou Prefecture expressed his thoughts.

The richest person in the city is the Prince Lu Mansion.

The soldiers guarded the Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture, the government had no money, so naturally the Lu King's vassal should take out the money to defend the city.

Yanzhou Prefecture is the Yanzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty of the old Zhu family. The largest person with the surname Zhu in Yanzhou Prefecture is King Lu. Officials in Yanzhou Prefecture all believe that the Lu King's vassal is doing their best to defend the city.

After all, they are all defending the country of the old Zhu family.

The King of Lu frowned.

It was the court's business to defend the territory, he was just a vassal king.

He didn't want to use his own money to fill the gap in the court. In his opinion, the silver needed to guard the local area should be paid by the court and the guardian of Ziyang City is also a matter of local officials and has nothing to do with the Lu Palace.

"Your Highness, I believe your Highness has heard a lot about what the tiger thieves do in Henan. Once the tiger thieves cannot stop the tiger thieves army, the tiger thieves will never let His Highness and the Palace of Lu." The tone of the Yanzhou Prefecture was full of coercion.

Few civil officials like vassal kings.

Like the King of Lu, who holds a lot of wealth but is reluctant to take it out to defend the Ming Dynasty, the prefect of Yanzhou and a group of officials became increasingly dissatisfied with the King of Lu in front of him.

King Zhu Shouyong of Lu hesitated for a moment, thought of the fate of the vassals in Henan, and gave in and said, "I took out my money and grain, can you guarantee to defend Ziyang City?"

"As long as your highness is willing to give out money and grain to reward the soldiers guarding the city, and the whole city is united, I believe that I will be able to defend Ziyang City." The prefect of Yanzhou promised with confidence.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

From the words of King Lu, he heard that King Lu had an intention to move and was no longer as determined to pay for food as before.

Zhu Shouyong, the King of Lu, looked at the Yanzhou prefect and asked, "How much money and grain are needed? Let me tell you, I don't have more. I still have to support so many people, and I am not rich."

The royal family members of the Lu King's vassal family and the generals of the State-State need to obtain the money and food they should have every year through the Lu King's vassal family, which can be regarded as the registered family members of the Lu King's vassal family.

Of course, the money and food were still distributed by the court, but the King of Lu was responsible for distributing it.

"The more money and grain, the better. The more money and grain the soldiers guarding the city get, the more morale they are, and they can better defend Ziyang City." The Yanzhou prefect naturally wanted the Lu Wangfan to get more money and grain.

A vassal king who has been passed down from the founding of the country knew that what he lacked the most was money and food.

Finally, King Lu was willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the money and grain to defend the city. Naturally, he hoped to get as much as he could. After all, it is still unknown whether King Lu would be willing to pay for the money and grain next time.
