The Ming Dynasty started with caution
Chapter 735 The World Surrounds Ming Dynasty
In the main room, she was sobbing.
Zhu Gongluo was about to make love, but was interrupted by the attendant outside the door: "Prince, the prince asks you to come."
Climbing down from the white meat, Zhu Gongluo came to the main hall with an unsatisfied look and shouted: "Dad!"
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but slap the scum to death: "Look at you, you are squeezed into this state, how can you be a prince!"
Zhu Gongluo's hair was messy and his clothes were exposed. As long as you were not blind, you could guess that he was making love and preparing to make it rain.
"I will be the prince sooner or later, and I don't need to be a prince."
Zhu Chenhao kicked him and was furious: "I worked hard to raise pigs to provide you with money to enter the capital, and you repay me like this. Zhu Houzhao is smarter than you!"
Let Zhu Gongluo get close to Zhu Houzhao to ask Emperor Hongzhi for more guards.
Hongzhi doted on Zhu Houzhao and might give permission.
"After I enter the palace, Dad will know that Dad has made a mistake."
...
Datong, Dai Wangfu.
In the old palace.
Zhu Junzhang carried a wooden bucket, scooped up a ladle of pig food, poured it into the wooden trough, and the pigs ran over excitedly.
Unlike other princes who were dressed gorgeously, he was covered with chaff, more like a farmer.
"Is the imperial decree coming soon?"
The old housekeeper next to him also carried a wooden bucket, feeding the pigs and laughing: "It's coming soon. The prince has sold his land and raised pigs himself. He will definitely be elected as a wise king."
Because the previous generation of king Zhu Congmo committed adultery and plunder during the mourning period, he was deposed as a commoner by the court.
Zhu Junzhang had to wait until the twelfth year of Hongzhi to inherit the title. The imperial court did not give much reward, and Datong was desolate and difficult to farm.
The palace was penniless.
Zhu Junzhang said solemnly, "Where is the prince?"
The housekeeper put down the wooden barrel and ran while saying, "He is reading. I will go and invite the prince out now."
After being deposed from the title of Dai Wang once, Zhu Junzhang was extremely cautious and did not dare to oppress the people, let alone do business for a living.
Raising 500 pigs cost a lot of money. The servants were dismissed, leaving only a few old slaves and an empty mansion.
Soon, a handsome scholar came out. Zhu Chongyao bowed to Zhu Junzhang, and his clothes were also simple.
"Your father has spent all his family wealth to raise pigs and send you to the palace to study. You must strive to be the first and be appreciated by His Majesty, so that the palace will have a chance to turn over."
The old housekeeper sighed and walked towards the pigpen with the wooden barrel.
The palace has declined. In a few years, it will disappear in Datong.
Zhu Chongyao nodded: "The child will not let his father down."
Knowing that his father borrowed money from the gentry, the palace owed a lot of money.
…
Beijing, Forbidden City.
Emperor Hongzhi flipped to the new official report of Nanchang and remembered the imperial edict issued earlier.
"The assessment period for the eight wise kings has arrived. Xiao Banban, pass the memorial down. The gentlemen will select eight wise kings and let the prince enter the capital."
Xiao Jing brought the memorial down.
Liu Jian opened the first memorial and saw the reports sent back by the censors:
First, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, raising 1,000 pigs
Second, Chu Wang Zhu Junyu, raising 800 pigs
Third, Xi Wang Zhu Taixiao, raising 700 pigs
…
Ninth, Wen Wang Zhu Sui, raising 680 pigs
Tenth, Dai Wang Zhu Junzhang, raising 500 pigs
After reading it, the gentlemen had different opinions and selected eight wise kings.
There was not much objection, and Emperor Hongzhi quickly determined the candidates and wrote the eight wise kings in the book.
Yan Chengjin stood up: "The pigs in the hands of the vassal kings are enough for six months, and it's time to sell them."
All the officials turned their heads.
You are still thinking about the pigs in other people's hands? You really think the same as me.
I don't know what happened, but the price of pork has increased after the groundbreaking in the southern district of the capital?
"The price of meat in the capital has increased. I haven't eaten Dongpo pork for a long time."
"Master Yan is right. I ask the prince to send the pigs to the court together." Chen Wang, the secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said.
Emperor Hongzhi thought about whether to give silver to the princes?
Liu Jian saw through Emperor Hongzhi's worries: "The court should offer a price lower than the price in the market, but higher than the cost of raising pigs."
"Master Liu is right."
In just half a day, the Imperial Household Department wrote eight imperial edicts and sent them to various vassal states to invite the princes to enter the capital.
A month later, the princes' carriages arrived in the capital one after another.
The pigs were kept in the fence and handed over to the court when they arrived in the capital.
The prince was still like a country boy entering the city, his eyes shining, and he was amazed.
The capital city is full of buildings and the streets are two meters wide. It is as lively as a temple market and ten miles long.
Chang'an Street, Mingchun Pavilion,
Zhu Gongluo couldn't move for a long time. Although his entourage repeatedly stopped him, he couldn't help but walk in to take a look.
"The women in the capital city have extraordinary voices. It is worthy of Mingchun Pavilion. The voice is so beautiful."
Zhu Gongluo heard the voices coming from all directions.
It makes people feel warm all over.
The counselor Zhang Bailing advised: "Sir, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
"Don't worry, I will just listen and won't do anything." Zhu Gongluo forgot himself.
...
Yan Mansion.
Yan Chengjin received a secret report from Yan Song, and he was recruiting soldiers to attack the Kingdom of Sindhu.
He wanted to take the road of the world surrounding the Ming Dynasty.
After invading the four seas, tens of millions of troops surrounded the Ming Dynasty.
This is the tenth floor.
Therefore, he paid great attention to the overseas wars and even more attention to the number of soldiers recruited by Yan Song.
The Spanish were the ones who invaded Sindhu.
Three years ago, their fleet had already conquered Sindhu, which was a country in the future.
However, when the fleet sailed east to Hainan, it was defeated by Li Zhaofan.
The paper said: Yan Song recruited 20,000 soldiers, and Liu Jin sneaked into Sindhu first. It is said that Liu Jin was a wealthy man in Sindhu and was very familiar with Sindhu.
He Neng walked in: "Master, the prince has entered the capital."
Yan Chengjin said with a stern face: "If you come in without reporting, you will be fined 300 taels of silver."
He raised his hand and burned the paper.
Although, Your Majesty and the gentlemen could not guess what this advanced strategy of the world surrounding the Ming Dynasty was?
But it would be bad to be discovered recruiting soldiers.
He Neng was about to cry, and was fined silver every day. He said aggrievedly: "Lord Zheng came to report that the prince had entered the capital and went to a brothel."
...
Donggong,
Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Lao Gao, I found that the emperor's grandson is a man of both civil and military talents, only a little worse than me."
As soon as he arrived at the Donggong, this guy spoke.
Yan Chengjin felt that Zhu Houzhao had a secret that he couldn't tell anyone: "Why do you think so?"
"Come with me."
Yan Chengjin looked at Gu Dayong who was trembling beside him and asked: "Is the grandson in the East Palace?"
"In..."
Last time, he was punished by His Majesty for a month and was not allowed to see the grandson. What did Zhu Houzhao do with the grandson?
Yan Chengjin followed Zhu Houzhao through the palace and came to the back garden.
I saw Zhu Zaikun riding on a pony. The pony was only up to Yan Chengjin's waist.
But for the grandson, falling down while running might cause fractures.
"Your Highness, the eight princes have entered the capital."
Zhu Houzhao was a little unhappy and pinched Yan Chengjin's neck: "It's all your fault. Why do you want to study with me as a reward?"
Staying in the Zhanshi Mansion, he had goose bumps all over his body.
Yan Chengjin backhanded a hook punch and punched Zhu Houzhao in the stomach.
Is this official giving me face?
The grandson was riding on the horse, blinking his eyes and staring blankly.
The young eunuch knew that the prince was fooling around with Lord Yan, and he was also like this with the guards. If he stepped forward to break up the fight, he would be beaten.
Half a minute later, the two sat in the bedroom.
Zhu Houzhao acted as if nothing had happened: "What does the prince's visit to Beijing have to do with me? What are you looking for me for?"
"There is a prince entering the palace this time. He is very special and claims to be the first talent in Nanchang."
Zhu Houzhao snorted: "Who?"
Yan Chengjin couldn't help but complain about the name of the old Zhu family: "Zhu Gongluo."
