Chen Hong felt that his emperor's appetite had become much bigger, not only to favor the second concubine one night, but also to eat two breakfasts.

If Zhu Youxiao knew what Chen Hong was thinking, he would definitely kick him in the ass, and then tell Chen Hong righteously:

It's not a meal at all, it's an official meal.

Just like going out for an official meal in a previous life, you either eat a little before you go, or you will make a cushion after eating.

Breakfast was quickly served, with a simple white porridge, white steamed buns and four side dishes, as well as two boiled eggs.

"Uncle Huang, sit." Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhu Changxun, who was standing awkwardly, to sit down.

Zhu Youxiao ate very happily.

But for Zhu Changxun, he was not happy at all with this meal, it can be said that he was very worried, and his butt was like a thorn.

Although the emperor's nephew showed concern for him, Zhu Changxun was still afraid.

Yesterday, I accompanied my emperor's nephew to watch an afternoon of plays, and then had a dinner, and as a result, I let myself get 2 million taels.

After this breakfast, it may not be good, is it possible to build 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, "Uncle Huang thinks the meal is simpler?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not. The minister just thinks that this is very healthy, and the minister also eats like this. Zhu Changxun's attitude was very respectful.

Listen to these words, and you will not be able to hear them. As for what Zhu Changxun was really thinking in his heart, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, this was a tool man.

After breakfast, Zhu Youxiao began to pull Zhu Changxun to drink tea and chat.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Uncle Huang, rice is expensive in the capital, and you don't have any industry in the capital, this is not good, and Uncle Huang will not have a good time in the future." In this way, I will reward you with a royal village. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Changxun was stunned.

Why did you reward yourself with a royal village?

You know, it's the emperor's nephew's personal property, and there's a lot of land in it. Although the land in the capital is not as valuable as Jiangnan, it is also an industry, and the price is not low, so why is it willing to give it to itself?

This made Zhu Changxun hesitate a little.

Why?

How so?

Zhu Youxiao didn't care what Zhu Changxun thought, but said in a very soft tone: "Uncle Huang, we are all a family, we will live a good life in the capital in the future, and we will walk around more in the palace if we have nothing to do." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Changxun hurriedly said.

After spending 2 million taels, he can be regarded as broken. With this Huangzhuang, I can really make my family feel better.

Although Zhu Changxun doubted in his heart why the emperor's nephew did this, the other party obviously had no room for him to refuse, so Zhu Changxun chose to accept it.

Seeing that Zhu Changxun accepted the imperial village he gave him, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I won't keep the imperial uncle." I didn't go back last night, and the palace should be worried. ”

"The minister retired." Zhu Changxun hurriedly bowed down and said.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "You send Uncle Huang out for me." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed and respectfully sent Zhu Changxun out.

After the two of them left, Zhu Youxiao leaned back in the chair, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he began to wonder in his heart, one Zhu Changxun is not enough, and other people are needed.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao's meaning is very simple, he wants to make a lot of money. And it's a large-scale money-getting. This money allows me to do a lot of things, because I am so short of money.

Now there is a war going on in the southwest, and it is also an expense over there. Although I don't know how to fight, it is not too difficult to win the battle, so the rewards to the soldiers at that time are all a sum of money, and this money cannot be saved.

There is also the reconstruction 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 eventful season, with some money in his hand, he is at ease, and Zhu Youxiao has long wanted to find a place to get a lot of money.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has more or less some income from opening shops to sell glass, but the money there cannot be moved, and it will continue to expand outward, and the channels are slowly spreading to the whole country.

It is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to cut off the money of the Internal Affairs Office at this time, he needs a more stable way to get more money.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and set his eyes on the relatively wealthy group of people in the Ming Dynasty.

This group of people is in the capital, so it's easier to fiddle with. More importantly, if something happens near the capital, you can stop the loss in time.

For such a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been walking around the capital and in the court, not because he doesn't want to stretch out his hand, but because he can't stretch it out.

In the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, if a decree is issued throughout the country, it is estimated that all of them will be evil laws in the end.

This situation is impossible to avoid when the information is so developed in later generations, let alone in the Ming Dynasty?

Local officials are unreliable, have poor enforcement ability, are seriously corrupt, and have officials but no country in their hearts, and if their own good policies continue, they will also make things worse, which will lead to popular uprisings.

So Zhu Youxiao has not done anything, just secretly arranged to clean up the court.

Judging from the current situation, at least Suncheonfu can move.

Zhu Youxiao is ready to get money from Shuntianfu, Zhu Changxun is just the first target, but it is not enough, and a second person is needed.

While Zhu Youxiao was pondering, Chen Hong walked back from outside.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "Sent Uncle Huang away?" ”

"I'm out of the palace." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said: "You put the news out, which means that I am very happy with what Lao Fu Wang has done, so I rewarded him with an imperial village." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong said respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao stood up, paced a few steps in the main hall, and said, "Let the people in the palace prepare, I will watch the play tomorrow." You invite Cheng Guogong to me into the palace. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Although I don't know why the emperor invited Cheng Guogong, Chen Hong also knew that there was probably something going on, so he was very cautious.

After getting along for a period of time, Chen Hong already has some understanding of Zhu Youxiao.

The emperor of his own family can't say that he is diligent in government, and he can't even get along with diligence at all, and his favorite thing to do every day is to sit in a rocking chair and bask in the sun, or else to play with the queen and do nothing all day.

Once the emperor of his own family is very diligent and wants to do something, or when he is very diligent and starts to arrange people, it proves that the emperor of his family is going to do things, and it is often not a small matter.

So Chen Hong didn't dare to say a word.

The matter has been used by Lao Fu Wang, and now there is a Cheng Guogong, this matter must not be small.

Chen Hong felt that it was better to hide away, don't have an accident, and splash his blood.

For Cheng Guogong, Zhu Youxiao has no good feelings.

Chengguo's name is Zhu Chunchen. The ancestor was Zhu Neng, a famous general in Jingnan, who made countless meritorious contributions in the southern and northern wars, became the prince of the country, and posthumously crowned the king of Dongping.

When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen wrote an edict ordering Zhu Chunchen to lead the army and assist the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

It can be said that Zhu Chunchen is a minister who is very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, or a noble who is very trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.

It's just that Zhu Chunchen did not enter the palace to see Emperor Chongzhen, but turned his head to Li Zicheng to offer Qihuamen (that is, Chaoyangmen), and Chen Yan persuaded him to enter, and was later executed by Li Zicheng.

As a hereditary noble of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that he received the grace of the country. As a result, such a noble who received the grace of the country not only did not fight with Li Zicheng, but also surrendered on the spot to persuade him, with a posture of assisting Li Zicheng to ascend the throne.

Such a person, if Zhu Youxiao can look at it, there will be ghosts.

However, who has the use of anyone, this person can just be used, so Zhu Youxiao decisively arranged for him to enter the palace, and this matter must be done.

"Make a good arrangement. Watch a play in the afternoon and eat together in the evening. Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and said.

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed.

At the same time, the war in the southwest has also entered a critical moment.

After connecting with the men and horses of Chongqing, Sun Chuanting began his own arrangement, and with the cooperation of Xu Keqiu, the governor of Chongqing, he began to mobilize men and horses, and successively recovered Suiyang, Meitan, Tongzi, Wujiang (now part of Guizhou Province) and other places.

At the same time, they contacted Chengdu, and the army joined forces in one place, directly showing a strangulation posture against the rebels in Sichuan.

The situation was very good, and the speed of defeat and retreat of the rebels was very fast.

Qin Liangyu led Qin Minping to capture Erlang Pass, and the general soldier Du Wenhuan broke through Fotu Pass.

Yu Chongming mobilized his army to fight with the Ming army in Jianwu (now Dama West and Xingwennan in Sichuan Province), Changning (now in the east of Jue County, Sichuan Province), Jue County, Yibin and other places, and launched a segmented operation, and the two sides won and lost each other.

But everyone knew that Armageddon was coming.

At the same time, on the territory of Guizhou.

An Bangyan's rebellion was extinguished by Yuan Keli before he could get up.

Then Yuan Keli fought steadily, chased and intercepted An Bangyan, and directly blocked An Bangyan back to Shuixi Longchang, and the battle also reached the last moment.

At the same time, the inscription from Yuan Keli also entered the capital.

This question book is naturally a success, although not all the rebellion has not been quelled, but after all, there are some achievements.

The question book was quickly sent to the palace and handed to Zhu Youxiao's hand.

In fact, this manuscript did not cause any big waves in the capital, because these officials in the capital did not look down on the war in the southwest at all, and felt that it was nothing more than a few Tusi rebellions, and it would be over if they sent some people to pacify it.

Only Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that there would be rebellion there in the next few years. Those people in the southwest are already unstable, and they already feel that the Ming Dynasty is no longer good.

This time, the court put down the rebellion so quickly, and it was able to make some people stop. Zhu Youxiao is very satisfied with this, which is also a foundation.

Now is not the time to be honest with them.

You wait, I'll clean up the north, you see if I can clean you up!

Whether it's those toasts in the southwest or those places further south, they all have to be cleaned up!

It's just that at that time, it's not just on the road, Daming can send warships.

But now that he is a poor emperor, he wants to build a navy by himself, which is no fun.

People are poor and short-minded, and horses are thin and long-haired.

The emperor is blind even if he has no money.
