At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree arrived. Of course, not for King Rui, but for the Duke of Xingguo.

In fact, this holy decree has been issued a long time ago. It was only because Zhang Mingwei happened to lead the cavalry army to fight thousands of miles, but the unlucky angel who passed the decree followed the cavalry all the way to Hanzhong Mansion to catch up.

The content of this decree is that Emperor Chongzhen authorized Zhang Mingwei to decide things first, and then report them, which is a further matter than the power to cut first and then play.

Zhang Mingwei heard nothing, but after King Rui knew, it was terrible.

In his opinion, this is equivalent to Xingguo Gong being the uncrowned king, as long as he decides something, the current emperor will definitely agree.

Although this matter has actually been passed on before, the issuance of the holy decree is tantamount to public recognition, which greatly increases the power of Xingguo Gong.

In addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, King Rui couldn't help but be very happy, so he behaved more actively and more earnestly entertained the prince of Xingguo.

After such an episode, King Rui finally found an opportunity to say to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong, is it okay for Gu to donate all of Gu's grain fields in order to have a self-determined fief?" ”

When King Zhou was king, it was the court that tempted King Zhou, saying that Luzon had mountains of gold and silver, and King Zhou was facing strong pressure at that time, and finally had to agree.

And the current Rui Wang brought it up by himself, and it is obvious that he has taken a fancy to a certain place.

Zhang Mingwei thought so in his heart, so he was a little curious, so he asked, "Tell me, where do you want to be in the domain?" ”

When King Rui heard this, he looked at him with expectant eyes, and slowly spit out two words: "Tianzhu!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses. This King Rui has only two hobbies in his life, one is to collect money, and the other is to cultivate Buddhism.

Thinking about it like this, Zhang Mingwei suddenly realized why Ruiwang chose Tianzhu!

However, Zhang Mingwei immediately shook his head and said: "As far as I know, today's Tianzhu is ruled by the Mughal Empire, just like the sun, you want the imperial court to help you go to Tianzhu, it's too difficult!" ”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Changhao was not only not disappointed, but overjoyed. Because he heard it, Xingguo Gong did not refuse, but only emphasized that Tianzhu was too difficult to attack.

So, he hurriedly said: "Guogong, Lone just wants Bei Tianzhu, and being able to cultivate Buddha in the place where the Buddha came is Lone's lifelong wish!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he glanced at him a little like an idiot, and then asked him: "Then if someone wants our Ming Qin Land, do you think they just need to capture Qin Land, don't you have to worry about our Ming Dynasty sending troops?" ”

After a pause, he changed his angle and asked again: "Or, you just want the imperial court to help you lay a place in Tianzhu and then hand it over to you, is that okay?" ”

"......" When Zhu Changhao heard this, he was dumbfounded.

I didn't think too much about it before, I just thought about going to the place where the Buddha came to cultivate the Buddha, maybe I can achieve positive results and live forever!

At this time, he naturally knew that his thoughts were too naïve, and for a moment, he smiled awkwardly.

But who knows, Zhang Mingwei looked at him like this, but he changed his words and said: "Of course, if King Rui really wants to belong to Tianzhu as a fief, it is not impossible, he must defeat the Mughal Empire." However, with King Rui's current financial resources, it is not enough to help the imperial court strengthen the army to defeat a strong enemy. ”

Seeing Zhu Changhao looking at him with surprised and unexpected eyes, Zhang Mingwei continued: "If King Rui wants to stabilize the domain, the imperial court must destroy the Mughal Empire. In this way, the entire Tianzhu is the Ming Dynasty, if you only give you King Rui, don't you think this fiefdom is too big? ”

Hearing this, King Rui asked in surprise: "What does Guogong mean is to seal a few vassal kings in Tianzhu, is this okay?" ”

Zhu Yujiao on the side had been listening to their conversation silently, a little dumbfounded.

In her opinion, the two people in front of her really dare to think and the other dare to answer, which is a bit outrageous!

Today's Ming Dynasty is still trying to save the dead, and the thieves and rebels must be destroyed in the Guan, and Liaodong will be recovered outside the Guan; It has also been decided to help King Zhou fight Luzon.

With so many things going on, these two people in front of them are discussing the matter of attacking Tianzhu, which is really a hell of a life!

However, if she thinks about it from another angle, today, except for a few people such as her and Emperor Chongzhen, to be precise, a total of five people, including Zhang Mingwei, know that the Ming Dynasty would have perished in two years, and no one else would believe that the Ming Dynasty would die at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so brain-dead that he would continue to be drunk and dreaming to death, and he would fight in all kinds of nests. After all, today's thieves have always been unfriendly to the gentry, vassal kings, etc.

In addition, this Rui Wang is not even close to women, and he only wants to cultivate Buddhism, and he has his own fanaticism. For this kind of person, in his eyes, he basically doesn't think about anything else except what he likes.

As for Xingguo Gong, he also followed King Rui to get up to speed, it was because Zhang Mingwei came to King Rui's Mansion to pick up wool. If he can draw cakes for King Rui and bring the money and food needed to fight in Shu, of course he will not let it go.

And, for Tianzhu's side, I believe that every traverser, if there is one, as long as there is an opportunity, of course will not let it go. Because over there, there's a place where there's a lot of oil hidden underneath. It is too far from the Ming Dynasty, and it will be much closer if you go over after occupying Tianzhu.

Tianzhu can be given to the vassal king, but in the Middle East, it must be directly governed by the imperial court.

Since there is such a plan, it is natural for Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Changhao to chat about things. For now, it's nothing more than blowing it first.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei heard Zhu Changhao's question, so he nodded and said: "That's right, Tianzhu is too big, and the imperial court has to spend so much effort to fight it down, of course, it has to seal a few more." ”

Zhu Changhao received an affirmative reply from Xingguo Gong, and when he had hope, he couldn't help but be very happy, so he hurriedly asked again: "Guogong, I don't know what to do about this, can I do it?" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he smiled and said to him: "Why don't you write your thoughts and explain the situation to the emperor, as for the words of other vassal kings, you can suggest King Qing, King Shu, King Qin, etc." The sooner you provide money and food to help the imperial court quell the civil strife, you will be able to plan for the attack on Tianzhu as soon as possible. ”

King Qing was awarded the title of Ningxia Wei, the capital of Shaanxi, the king of Shu was awarded the title of Chengdu, and the king of Qin was named Xi'an, Shaanxi. It can be said that these are all vassal kings in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhang Mingwei is quelling the chaos in the northwest, and the best source of money is, of course, these vassal kings. However, Zhang Mingwei estimated that the other vassal kings would not be as enthusiastic as the Rui King in front of him. Even when they knew that King Rui proposed to seal them to Tianzhu as well, it was estimated that it would be possible to scold King Rui for the rest of their lives.

However, Zhu Changhao didn't think about it so much, he was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly responded.

Seeing that he was so happy, Zhang Mingwei suddenly opened his mouth and sighed: "I led the army to come in a hurry, there is not much money and food left, this is into the Sichuan to quell the chaos, there is no money and food, I don't know that I will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to calm down!" ”

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Zhu Changhao originally wanted to rejuvenate the Guogong, but when he heard it, he hurriedly said: "Guogong rest assured, the lonely side has prepared 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stone of grain to show the positive situation of the orphan." ”

"What? Did King Rui say 500,000 taels of silver and 500,000 stone of grain? When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he showed a happy expression, and immediately said to Zhu Yujiao, "I really didn't expect that King Rui's attitude is so positive!" In this case, you can help me write a recital when I go back, the matter of King Rui, with this attitude, I will definitely support it vigorously! ”

"......" Zhu Yujiao was speechless when she heard it.

"......" Zhu Changhao was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Everyone in the hall, including the palace maids who served them on the side, were all dumbfounded.

They looked at Xingguo Gong one by one, and they were so dumbfounded.

However, Zhu Yujiao came back to her senses first, and she immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I wrote it down." ”

As soon as she said this, Zhu Changhao also came back to his senses. If he was tough enough, he would definitely not hesitate to point out that Xingguo Gong was blackmailing, so he didn't say 500,000 yuan in silver and 500,000 stone in grain, this is simply a money grab!

However, who is he in person? It is the powerful Xingguo Gong now, just now, Emperor Chongzhen's will, they have all heard it, which can prove how powerful Xingguo Gong is now.

The most important thing is that Zhu Changhao is still asking for Xingguo Gong, so after he came back to his senses, his heart was dripping blood, but he had to reluctantly smile and stammered a little: "Yes...... Yes, silver five...... 500,000 taels, 500,000 taels of grain...... 500,000 stone ......"

When he said this, he really wanted to cry out loud! At this moment, he spit out more than half of the money and food he had accumulated all his life.

Why didn't Guogong say "1 million taels of silver and 10 million stones of grain"? If he really wants to say that, he can rightly refuse, because there are not so many at all, and he really can't take it out!

At this time, he was faintly aware of it, I am afraid that Xingguo Gong had investigated him in advance, after all, Xingguo Gong had Jinyiwei in his hands. Therefore, he reported this money and food that made him very painful, but he could still get it.

In fact, Zhang Mingwei not only investigated him, but also asked Jinyiwei to investigate all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, how could he not see Zhu Changhao's pain!

However, he didn't care. Originally, I came to pick up wool, if I hadn't brushed more, would Xingguogong's appearance fee be so low?

After achieving his goal, Zhang Mingwei didn't stay long, leaving Liu Jin to lead the Jinyi Guard and a team of soldiers, waiting in the Ruiwang Mansion to hand over the money and grain, while he himself went back to the camp outside the city.
