The banquet hall has long been carpeted.

Like film and television dramas, the main seat is the dusk position, with one table on the left and two tables on the right.

In the center is the stage of the singer, the wine and food have been arranged, and in the middle of the banquet hall, there are two rows of light bulbs with four each, plus some candles around it, making the whole hall as if it were daytime.

As for Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, who sits on the left and who sits on the right, it is generally arranged by the main family, but Dusk played a trick, and he wanted the two Guogongs to decide for themselves.

This is actually very rude, but Dusk wants to take this opportunity to see if there is a gap between Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng are both Zhu Di's guards.

A true confidant.

They are all national dukes, one is the prince and the prince, and the other is the prince and the prince, all of whom are the three dukes.

The status is generally the same.

Generally speaking, Zhu Neng has a high probability of letting Qiu Fu sit on the left.

Because Qiu Fu is older.

Moreover, Qiu Fu had just returned from the north and followed the emperor to the west, while Zhu Nenggang had just returned from Fujian and was also a hero of the counterinsurgency, but after all, he did not have a lot of weight by the emperor's side.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng entered the banquet hall accompanied by Dusk and Wu Pu, and when they saw the layout, they only heard Dusk say that the two princes were invited to take a seat, and then Dusk went to the main seat and disappeared.

How could the two of them not know what the idea of dusk was fighting.

Look at each other and smile.

Dusk, you are a child, you want to fight with the two of us, is it too tender?

I'm going to give you a problem.

So Qiu Fu laughed and said: "I'm old, I don't know why Commander Huang is a guest, although I am close to Chengguo Gong, I also know how to respect, Commander Huang's heart, I am very confused." ”

Although he was born in the military, he finally climbed to the upper echelons of society, and he also had some etiquette and civility.

In other words, the more you read, the more you understand.

Zhu Neng also sneered, his words were very sharp, the sword edge was unsheathed aggressively, and his eyes were staring at the dusk quite arrogantly, "It seems that Commander Huang looks down on us two Qiu Ba." ”

Dusk's heart chuckled.

Jiang is still old and spicy, and these two immediately saw through their intentions.

So he hurriedly said: "Qi Guogong, you are the elder, please take a seat." ”

He also said: "Cheng Guogong, you are going to torture your humble position, your merits in the Ming Dynasty, who dares to say Qiu Ba, you must know that you are not only the Duke of the Kingdom now, but also crowned as the prince and young master at the beginning of this year, and you are in the prime of life, and in time, you will be above the ten thousand people in the Ming Dynasty." Please don't laugh at your humble duties, please take a seat. ”

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng glanced at each other and secretly praised it.

Not bad.

This kid is worthy of being the favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is exquisite, and the current arrangement is flawless, and everyone's status is the same, so naturally the elders are respected.

So they both sat down.

Seeing this, Wu Pu secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and was quite unappreciative of Dusk's move, there was no need to give the two princes a problem at this time, but fortunately, it was fine.

Take a seat next to Zhu Neng.

Toast at dusk, "Humble dusk, in the Yumuchuan witnessed the majestic wind of the battlefield of Qi Guogong, admired it even more, because of the situation at the time, can not be close, now respond to the sky, many worries are gone, it is to dare to feast, I never thought that the Guogong actually came, the end is Penglong shining, I can't thank you, I did it, Guogong please feel free." ”

After saying that, I drank it all.

Qiu Fu frowned slightly, as if he didn't like it, but he still drank the wine in the cup.

Dusk was keenly aware of it, knowing that he had not done anything wrong, so when he raised his glass again, he said to Zhu Neng: "Cheng Guogong this time in Fujian to quell the rebellion, assisted the second prince and the third prince to win a big victory, the credit is huge, in Shuntian, His Majesty mentioned this, always full of praise for you, estimated that the Guogong will go to the next level, humble admiration is very, this cup of respect to the Guogong, I did it, you are free." ”

Drink it all again.

Zhu Neng also drank it all, and immediately laughed, "Commander Huang doesn't want to harm me." ”

This kid is really smart, when he toasted Qiu Fu just now, he spoke in a crepe manner, Qiu Fu showed displeasure, and when he turned his head at dusk, he figured out the reason, and he spoke to himself a lot more whitely.

Indeed, Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu are both from the military, and they are very uncomfortable with the sour set of scholars.

As for what Zhu Neng said not to hurt him, this is true.

He is now the prince of the country and one of the three princes, can he go to the next level?

Then there is only one way to sit in Zhu Di's position.

This kind of upper-class banquet, eating is an atmosphere, and it is also a relationship between eating, no one really comes to your house at dusk to eat and drink spicy, everyone is a national prince, what can't you eat on weekdays?

After saluting the two of them at dusk, they clapped their hands.

Outside the hall, four singers entered, and there were everyone in the Qinglou who was good at guzheng and guqin, and there was a melodious sound of the piano, singing and dancing.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng's eyes lit up at once.

Singer of the Western Regions!

I have long heard that after Saihazhi returned from the Western Regions, he brought more than a dozen Western Regions demon queens, most of which were given to Dusk, which made the courtiers slander for a while.

Saihazhi, you have to find the right person when you are a sycophant.

Twilight is your subordinate.

If you give these twelve demon concubines to Ji Gang and say something good, your Nanzhen Fusi life will be much more comfortable, and you will go crazy to please your subordinates.

I really don't understand.

Actually...... Everyone's hearts are also sour.

Men, who doesn't like beautiful women, let alone exotic.

Seeing them today, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were even more envious, the softness of these beauties in the Western Regions, the charm of their eyes, the dissoluteness of their body language, and their smiles and smiles were all scratching people's hearts.

It's a stunner in the world.

Dusk's heart was also a little rippling, and he asked his wife Xu Miaojin to pick four people who could sing and dance, so it was also the first time he saw the beauties of the Western Regions sent to the mansion by Saihazhi.

Not to mention, they are really not inferior to Guli Nazha and Di Lieba.

Absolutely eye-catching.

The singing and dancing continue, and the business must continue.

Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu seemed to have a tacit understanding for a long time, and soon entered the main topic of going to the banquet, Qiu Fu said: "I don't know what Commander Huang invited us to the banquet today, what is the matter?" ”

Dusk smiled: "I just admire the demeanor of the two princes." ”

Can Qiu Fu and Zhu believe it?

It was still Qiu Fu who said: "What kind of demeanor can we have, or His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who has the great merit of saving the driver, and then the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves to quell the rebellion of Mei Yin, this kind of demeanor is straight to catch up with His Majesty back then." ”

That's a lot of fun.

After thinking about it carefully, it is not difficult to see that Qiu Fu is reminding him of dusk, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu is extremely similar to His Majesty, and he must be even more pleased with His Majesty, and he is the best choice for the prince.

It's better for you to stand in line early at dusk.

Wu Pu, who was sitting in Zhu Neng's hand, frowned when he heard this, Wu Pu is a cabinet minister, a literati, from all aspects, especially the recent Zhu Gaozhi administration, let the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty see the great prince's ability to govern, Wu Pu also saw in his eyes, so he was more inclined to Zhu Gaozhi, tonight's banquet he didn't want to attend, but he also wanted to know Dusk's position.

I was nervous at the moment.

He was really worried about standing in line with Zhu Gaoxu at dusk.

In this way, how can uncles and nephews get along?

When he heard the words at dusk, he was secretly amused in his heart, but he couldn't express his attitude at this time, so he said vaguely, "What the prince said is extremely true, the humble position is in Shuntian, and I always heard that His Majesty praised the second prince for having the demeanor of King Yan." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were startled.

You Zhu Gaoxu has the style of King Yan.

If you are not allowed to sit on the dragon chair, won't you also have to be martyred?

Qiu Fu hurriedly said: "Father and son." ”

Dusk laughed, "The two princes don't need to be nervous, Your Majesty also said that although the eldest prince is better at governance, he is not in good health after all, and he can't stay up, and he is worried that the eldest prince's personality is too benevolent." ”

These are the two princes, each playing fifty boards.

This time, Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng were at a loss.

What the hell do you want to do at dusk?

Seeing you like this, you don't seem to be in a hurry to stand in line, so why didn't you save a little face for the eldest prince the day before yesterday, and today I came to a banquet to invite the two of us, who obviously support the second prince.

Dusk held the wine glass, played around, and said with a smile: "The two princes, I don't hide it anymore, I invited the two of you here today, I really admire the two, so I want to give the two of you a big gift." ”

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng looked at each other.

What gifts can you give?

Although you have money at dusk, the two of us are not poor people.

Dusk smiled and said: "The two of you should have found out, the Yellow Mansion is always bright as day, thanks to an artifact, His Majesty and the Queen Mother also came to visit before, I like it very much, but the production of these two artifacts is extremely costly, Your Majesty is worried about the people, and has always been thrifty, but because of the love for Queen Xu, I still decided to buy one and give it to Queen Xu, and by the way, I also set up a set in the Qianqing Palace, but after two successive wars, Your Majesty still felt sorry for the money, so in Shuntian, Your Majesty finally decided not to, and at that time I looked at Your Majesty's demeanor- ”

Deliberately sold a pass.

Qiu Fu asked, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

Dusk sighed: "Your Majesty still wants it, but after the war, if you want to be frugal to set an example, you can only endure the pain of cutting your love, and you are worried about the loss of your humble position, so you let your humble position sell the customized artifact by yourself." ”

Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu glanced at each other.

Is it true?

After thinking about it, this is a matter involving His Majesty, and Dusk should not dare to use such things to blame people.

Dusk continued: "I thought about it, I thought about it, I can't let Your Majesty be cold, so I thought of asking the two princes to help, go to the eldest prince and the second prince to talk, and let the two princes come forward, buy these two sets of artifacts, and pay filial piety to Your Majesty and the queen." ”

Qiu Fu's eyes lit up.

coughed, "The eldest prince has been diligent in government recently, and when I ask to see him, I am busy with government affairs, and I am afraid that I will not have time to deal with these things, but the second prince is now in Fujian, and he is very leisurely." ”

The implication is that don't let the eldest prince get involved in this matter.

Dusk and dark music.

That's what you're waiting for.

After pondering for a long time, "But the second prince is far away in Fujian, and when his money arrives in Yingtian, maybe His Majesty has already returned." ”

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng glanced at each other again.

I understood each other's minds.

Zhu Neng spoke for the first time and said: "There is no need to be so troublesome, in this way, Qi Guogong and I will help the second prince advance money first, and then return us when he returns from Fujian, and you go to Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace as soon as possible to arrange these two sets of artifacts." ”

Strike first.

In case the eldest prince knows about it, it is not a good thing for him to buy it and give it to His Majesty and the Empress.

Qiu Fu asked, "How much is the total amount of the two artifacts, and I will send someone to send the money tomorrow." ”

Dusk sighed: "What I agreed with Your Majesty that day was 20,000 taels, but since His Royal Highness the Second Prince is a piece of filial piety, I will also put the icing on the cake to talk about my heart, so two sets of 30,000 taels." ”

Thirty thousand taels?!

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, even though they were Guogong, also gasped.

That's a lot of money.

Dusk smiled, "Scarcity is expensive, you must know that in the whole world, there is currently one in the lowly government, and two that have been prepared, and the cost is indeed very high, and the lowly position is no longer profitable." ”

It's about earning the money of these two princes.

Advance money?

That's face work, in fact, the two also want to take this opportunity to give Zhu Gaochu a favor, in case Zhu Gaochu ascends the throne in the future, can you not think about this one?

Zhu Neng hesitated and gritted his teeth, "Cheng!" ”

Two pieces of 30,000 taels, himself and Qiu Fu, 15,000 taels per person, this money can still be obtained, but it will hurt for a while, and after thinking about it, once Zhu Gaoxu ascends the throne, this money will come back in minutes.

So I felt much better.

Dusk sighed: "The heart of the two princes, the humble position is really more and more admired, just like the water of the big river coming up from the sky, and like the water of the Yellow River gushing endlessly, so that tomorrow the money of the two princes will be sent, and the humble post will immediately enter the palace to install the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace." ”

If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.

Immediately, he said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince knows that the humble position is a painstaking matter, and I also ask the two princes not to make a noise, so as not to be a bad person in the humble position, after all, the humble position still has to participate in the Autumn Festival." ”

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng's eyes lit up.

I thought I understood.

Dusk used this incident to recommend himself to Zhu Gaoxu!

He's courting him.

Thinking about it this way, if dusk is the original intention, I am afraid that this 30,000 taels will really beat the price of the property with a conscience, and it should not be a loss.

So the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

Pushing the cup and setting the lamp, the guest of honor was harmonious, and then returned slightly drunk.

Before Qiu Fu went out, he suddenly turned around and said: "Commander Huang, can this artifact be made again, I am old now, every night, I can't tell the difference, if there is this artifact at home, it can also give the old man a light." ”

Dusk is quite difficult, "It's okay, it depends on what the prince does, if the whole mansion wants the artifact to shine brightly, it will take about thirty or forty thousand, if it is only the main courtyard and important places such as the banquet hall and study, about twenty thousand taels is enough." ”

I was secretly happy in my heart.

Big customer.

When Qiu Fu heard this, his facial features were pulled, and Zhen Nima was expensive.

But—

Dusk said, there are only three pieces of this thing in the entire Ming Dynasty, one is owned by Dusk, one is about to be installed in the Qianqing Palace, and one is Kunning Palace, if there is one in your own house......

Doubling face.

20,000 taels, cost-effective.

So he waved his hand and said: "As for the main courtyard, study and banquet hall, I will send a deposit tomorrow, how much is this deposit?" ”

Dusk thought for a while, "Ten thousand taels." ”

Qiu Fu immediately said: "Okay! ”

When Zhu Neng saw it, how could he not know what Qiu Fu meant, and immediately smiled and said, "Commander Huang, give me a set too?" ”

You are the prince of the country, and you are the third prince.

I'm not Zhu Neng?

You can't let Qiu Fu steal the limelight alone.

Twilight smiled, "Good! ”

What a windfall.
