Looking at the two of them, Lao Fuwang and Cheng Guogong, who were slowly drunk and fell to the ground, Zhu Youxiao stood up and moved his muscles, turned to Chen Hong and said, "I want to pay tribute." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly led the way in front.

Although Zhu Youxiao drank not wine, but the warm herbal tea carefully prepared by the imperial dining room, he still drank a stomach in order to pour down Lao Fu Wang and Cheng Guogong, and he was a little anxious to urinate. But fortunately, they only drank a dozen glasses, and the two of them didn't drink much.

If you drink too much with them, you will probably have to fill your belly and bother to get rid of it (a stalk that happened in the operation team in the afternoon, hahaha).

When Zhu Youxiao came back from peeing, Zhu Changxun and Cheng Guogong had already been packed up and taken away.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong beside him, and said with a smile: "Okay, you arrange things, and I will go to Concubine Yuan to rest." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Regarding Concubine Yuan's hooking long legs, Zhu Youxiao missed her very much after playing, so he happened to accompany her more in the past, so as to ease his relationship with her.

As the saying goes, how can it be like this all the time?

Zhu Youxiao went to Concubine Yuan to sleep, and this night was naturally very happy and had a very harmonious time.

But the next morning, Zhu Youxiao still got up early in the morning, and he had something to do.

"The concubine waits for His Majesty to change his clothes." Concubine Yuan covered the quilt and looked around for clothes, but saw the middle clothes fall on the ground not far from the bed.

Stretched out his hand to hold Concubine Yuan, who was about to get up and serve, there was a soft touch from her fingertips, and there was a slight Q bomb. Zhu Youxiao said in a hoarse voice, "Let's sleep a little longer." ”

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's gentle eyes, soft smile and slightly confused tone, Concubine Yuan nodded shyly.

merely

"I'll see you in two days."

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao kissed Concubine Yuan on the forehead, and at the same time reached out and touched her smooth hair, stood up, put on his robe and walked outside.

Walking out of Concubine Yuan's bedroom, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and asked, "Are the two of them awake?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I haven't woken up yet." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

"Then prepare breakfast for me, and I will wait for them while I eat." After saying this, Zhu Youxiao strode forward.

Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao is really hungry. I drank a stomach full of hot soup last night, and I didn't eat much dinner. Then I worked all night at Concubine Yuan's place, although I slept before midnight, but the consumption was still very large, and now I was hungry.

Zhu Youxiao sat at the table, and breakfast was also put on the table.

And next door to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Chunchen also woke up at this time.

The first to wake up was Zhu Chunchen, compared to Zhu Changxun, he was younger after all. However, after the hangover, Zhu Chunchen's head still hurt a little.

Just as he was shaking his head in a daze, a little chamberlain walked up to him with warm water and said with a smile on his face: "Slave and maid, congratulations to Grandpa Guo." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Chunchen was stunned, and asked with some hesitation: "What a joy?" ”

Of course, he only subconsciously asked. At this time, his head was still very painful, and at the same time, he was annoyed that he had drunk so much wine last night and slept in the palace?

When did self-control become so bad?

"Grandpa Guo forgot? His Majesty sealed the Governor of the Military Governor of the Central Army of the Kingdom last night. The little chamberlain said with a bright smile on his face: "Your Majesty was really happy yesterday, and Grandpa Guo also received a lot of rewards. No, Gonggong Chen is already arranging for someone to send the reward to Grandpa Guo to the mansion. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Chunchen was stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Have you finally been rewarded?

Have you finally won the favor of His Majesty?

Have you finally been promoted by Your Majesty?

You must know that your family has declined badly over the years, and there is no real power in the Beijing camp and the army, and the old people in the family have almost degenerated, and the British public is the first person in the military to have real power in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he finally has a chance to turn over, the governor of the Chinese military and the left governor, this is not an ordinary official position.

With this official position, there is hope for the revival of his home.

After the surprise, Zhu Chunchen said to the little chamberlain: "Tell me what happened last night?" ”

"It seems that Grandpa Guo, you really forgot." With a flattering smile on his face, the little chamberlain hurriedly said, "Yesterday, you and Lao Fu Wang drank with Your Majesty and were very happy. Later, he talked about the imperial village that His Majesty rewarded to the old Fu King. ”

"Lao Fu Wang said that it was His Majesty's Imperial Village, and he couldn't ask for it, but His Majesty insisted on giving a reward. As a result, the old Fu King said, since His Majesty has to give, then please pay taxes. ”

"You also know that our Daming Zhuangtian does not have to pay taxes. When the old king said this, how could His Majesty agree? ”

But the old Fu Wang knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, and said vigorously that the Ming Dynasty is in difficulty now, and His Majesty can't even afford to repair the palace, so he also rewarded him with an imperial village, and he didn't want to be a courtier. If His Majesty does not allow him to pay taxes, then he does not want this Imperial Bank. ”

"So Your Majesty had no choice, so he approved the invitation of the old Fu King."

Listening to the words of the little chamberlain, Zhu Chunchen had a not very good premonition. Didn't you do something stupid?

You know, when it comes to farming and paying taxes, it's a fatal thing.

Zhu Chunchen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with me here?" ”

"Grandpa Guo, why do you think you forgot?" The little chamberlain said with a smile: "At that time, King Lao Fu and His Majesty were deadlocked there, and it was still you who persuaded Grandpa Guo." ”

The slave remembered very well that the grandfather of the country and the old king knelt on the ground together. Grandpa Guo said that Lao Fu Wang Ye is the royal family, and he is His Majesty's imperial uncle, since the court is not rich, His Majesty can't even afford to repair the palace, and the ones who pay should be those of us who are courtiers. If you really pay taxes in Zhuangtian, you should also start with the nobles and relatives. ”

"Grandpa Guo also said that you are willing to be the first person." The little chamberlain looked at Zhu Chunchen with a look of adoration, with a bright smile on his face, and his tone was full of admiration.

The little chamberlain continued: "At that time, His Majesty did not agree. His Majesty said that Zhuangtian does not pay taxes, which is the rule set by Emperor Taizu, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. ”

"But at that time, Grandpa Guo, you knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and you said this: Xun Gui and Xun received the grace of the country and retired with the country. Now that the court is in trouble, there are no rules that cannot be changed. Even if you sacrifice your life and destroy your family to relieve the suffering, that is what you should do. What's more, it's just Zhuangtian paying taxes. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't agree, you will die on the main hall. At that time, you can be excited, and you will kowtow to the ground. ”

"Look at your forehead, there's still a red dot. Did Grandpa Guo feel dizzy? Why don't you go and call the imperial doctor? The little chamberlain said with concern in his tone.

Zhu Chunchen felt that his brain was buzzing.

It's over, what did you do?

Is that all your doing?

I glanced up at the little waiter, this little waiter shouldn't be lying.

What's more, there were many people present at the time, and His Majesty was also there, if he said that there was no such thing, wouldn't it mean that it would not be counted if he said it?

This is tantamount to deceiving the king!

What's more, His Majesty also gave himself a reward and gave himself a sealed official position, which you can push off?

But thinking of the follow-up waves set off by this incident, Zhu Chunchen couldn't wait to drink to death.

Drinking is a mistake!

How could Zhu Chunchen have the kung fu to find the imperial doctor to show him his head, and directly pulled the little chamberlain and asked, "What about later?" ”

"Later, when His Majesty saw that you and Lao Fu Wang insisted, he agreed, and personally walked down the imperial steps to toast you, praised you as the pillars of the country, said that you were a noble example, and at the same time gave a reward, and also added an official position."

"Your Majesty said at that time that Cheng Guogong is an example of the Ming Dynasty and an example for all the nobles; He also said that he would pass on the decree to the court and let everyone know! ”

After hearing this, Zhu Chunchen shook his body and sat directly on the bed.

There are only three words in his mind, and that is:

It's over!

At the same time, Zhu Changxun in the next room was also sitting on the bed with a confused face.

Looking at the smiling little servant in front of him, Lao Fu Wang couldn't wait to punch the other party directly in the face.

Gan!

I knew that drinking was not a good thing, and sure enough, something happened!

The last time I drank a meal, I put in 2 million taels; This time, I drank a meal, and I guess I was going to put my life into it. Even if you don't put your life into it, this reputation will also be put into it.

Paying taxes, paying taxes in Zhuangtian, this is a fatal thing!

Zhuangtian, which is the garden given by the imperial court to subordinates or princes, has two forms: Xungui Zhuangtian and Wangfu Zhuangtian.

The farmland allocated for the knighthood is called the noble farm. And Xun Gui refers to Xun Chen (military generals and meritorious heroes) and noble relatives (imperial relatives and relatives).

After so many years of inheritance and development, Xungui's fields are no longer the fields that were originally given, in addition to the emperor's appropriation, there are also additional farmland, seized private land, and official land of tyrants.

It also involves the hidden population and the hidden land, and if this matter is to be stirred, there is no small one.

Lao Fu Wang was very annoyed in his heart, why did he say such a thing with a twitch of his head?

In fact, Zhu Changxun suspected that he had not said these words at all. But now the question is, does it matter if you say you haven't said it? Do you dare to go out and say, haven't you said it?

That's tantamount to you not admitting it. You are a deceitful. I can't afford to be guilty of this crime.

Thinking of this, Zhu Changxun also sat down in place. I really didn't know what to do, but the little eunuch next to him didn't stop, and continued to talk about what happened.

I heard what the British Duke Zhu Chunchen said. Zhu Changxun's eyes lit up.

He stood up suddenly, and a smile appeared on his face. It seems that he can still be saved this time. I didn't say it myself. I just said that I would pay taxes to Huangzhuang. It was Zhu Chunchen who made the matter bigger.

After thinking of this, Zhu Changxun suddenly had an idea

Zhu Chunchen said that he wanted to bite to death in this matter, and he just said that Huangzhuang paid taxes. didn't say that Zhuangtian paid taxes, although this difference was said to be yes and no, but he represented the royal family.

It's not terrible to offend other vassal kings, after all, they are all around. I am still in the capital. They don't have a good way to do it with themselves. As long as Xungui and Xunqi don't blame themselves, it will be much easier.

You must know that most of the nobles and relatives are in the capital. The entire capital is theirs, and they are now in the capital, so if they don't do it, they will be framed. Let Zhu Chunchen, the fool, take the blame for this matter
