The "coincidental encounter" between Gao Pragmatic and Princess Yongning was after talking with Zhu Yijun about the price of the Wanli musket.

This incident gave Zhu Yijun an excellent excuse - he asked Gao Shishi to go out for a walk, while he stayed in the War Bureau with Chen Ju, and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of this type of musket with the stewards and eunuchs of the War Bureau, including the price.

Because in this way, even if he is discovered by the Empress Dowager Cisheng afterwards, he can also shirk that he is talking about business, and the reason why he let Gao Pragmatic go out for a walk is just because it is not good to discuss this matter in front of Gao Pragmatic - to negotiate a price reduction, wouldn't that be the emperor competing with his courtiers for profit? How bad it is to say it.

All in all, it's best if things don't leak, and even if they do, it's a complete accident, and there is absolutely no inside story.

It can be seen that for pretending to be an ostrich, Zhu Yijun is really a talented player.

When Gao pragmatic "coincidentally" met, Princess Yongning, she was watching the scenery of Zhonghai in the westernmost part of the Chongzhi Hall in Jiaoyuan.

It is absolutely reasonable to come to this place to enjoy the scenery, because this is the place where the so-called "Taiye Autumn Breeze", the second of the eight views of Yanjing, is missing, but the water cloud pavilion built by Kang Mazi is missing.

However, at this time, the scenery is not described as "too liquid autumn wind".

"Autumn breeze in the liquid" refers to the autumn scenery of the pond. In later generations, you can watch the Shuiyun Pavilion on the Beihai Bridge, but you can't take pictures, and the Tuancheng in Beihai Park is the best place to watch and leave the beautiful scenery of the Shuiyun Pavilion Taiye autumn wind.

The scenery of this place, in the golden time called the Taiye autumn wind, the Yuan time called the Taiye autumn wave, and the Ming time is called the Taiye Qingbo, the Taqing Kang Mazi is also the Taiye Qingbo commensurate, to Qianlong, this guy probably remembered that the Jin Dynasty was also a Jurchen, so it was called the Taiye autumn wind.

"Eight Scenes of Yanjing" says: "The weather is clear, the sun and the moon are rippling and the ripples are clear and lovely, so it is said that the liquid is clear." In the early Ming Dynasty, the great painter Wang Fu once painted the picture of "Taiye Clear Wave".

Gao Pragmatic only learned a little sketching in his previous life, and his Chinese painting skills are worrying, and it is impossible to paint this beautiful scenery, so he can only pretend to walk to the fence, and then pretend that he just saw the slim Princess Yongning over there.

He stepped forward and bowed, and said, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"I wish you didn't have to salute me like that." Princess Yongning, the little girl in Gao Pragmatic Memory, spoke very directly today, she said, "Is Gongzi Gao very reluctant to come to see me? ”

"Where did Your Highness start with this?" Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly: "The minister and Her Royal Highness the princess have only a few faces, and there is no conflict, how can the minister not want to meet Her Royal Highness the princess?" It's just that...... The identities of the minister and His Royal Highness are very different, and the world is very different, how can you see them on weekdays? ”

Princess Yongning is only fifteen years old, but she is already quite smart, but there is still a little childish color between her eyebrows and eyes. She originally looked melancholy, and after listening to Gao Shishi's words, she seemed to be better, but there was still an unspeakable pain hidden between her eyebrows.

Regardless of whether there was anyone secretly watching here, at least there were only the two of them in front of him, so it was inconvenient for Gao Shishi to look directly, so after a little glance, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground not far from the princess's feet.

"Why doesn't Gao Gongzi dare to look at me?" After a pause, Princess Yongning asked.

Gao pragmatically said: "I'm afraid it's rude." ”

"Hehe......" Princess Yongning smiled bitterly: "Yes, I'm afraid it's rude." It is also rude for me to ask the imperial brother to find Gao Gongzi today, presumably Gao Gongzi doesn't know how to ridicule and despise him in his heart. ”

"The princess is too worried, how dare the minister." Gao pragmatically said, and then thought about it, it seemed too perfunctory to say this, and added: "Actually, the minister just doesn't understand why Her Royal Highness the princess did this." ”

"Don't you understand?" Princess Yongning said: "Still don't want to understand? ”

This...... What's the matter with this princess, isn't this embarrassing for me? Can I still say that you came to me because you liked me? I have a good head and don't want to move just yet.

Although the princess of Daming does not have any real power, and is even very sad, but because the Daming Etiquette is here, as a courtier, if you dare to insult the princess, the crime is still very serious.

Gao Pragmatic sighed and said, "The minister is stupid." ”

Princess Yongning sneered at this moment and asked, "Are you stupid?" Then tell me, there are any smart people in the world, Yongning wants to see and understand. ”

Gao pragmatically said: "There are more smart people in the world......"

"How many true leaders have been in the past two hundred years?" Princess Yongning interrupted.

"Uh......" Gao pragmatic paused for a moment, and said: "This is Your Majesty's praise for its reputation, and it should not be true." ”

"Who can start from scratch and make a fortune of tens of millions in ten years, but can still get the reputation of a Buddha in ten thousand families?"

"This ...... It is also quite related to the family identity of the minister, and it does not depend on the minister's personal ability. ”

"Who can use his own strength to say that the Guangxi Tusi, who has always listened to the tune and does not listen to the propaganda, will send troops to sweep through Annan without a single defeat with only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and can even collect and surrender the Annan army, and also make the people of Annan intimidated and dare not cause chaos?"

"The situation is complicated, and it is not clear in a few words. One is that Annan may not be convinced, and he will need to continue to monitor in the future; The second so-called sweep of Annan is not to a large extent not the work of the minister's command, but that Annan is no longer the Annan of the past. ”

Princess Yongning couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hearing you say this, it seems that these achievements are all driven by Baba...... Like I want to see you? ”

Gao Shishi almost choked to death, opened his mouth and stammered for a moment before saying, "The princess said she laughed." ”

"After my sister got married last year, I have been thinking about whether it would be better if I were not a princess." She said faintly: "But I thought again, if I were not a princess, I am afraid that I will never see you in this life, how could I think of this." ”

Gao pragmatic couldn't answer, so he had to be silent.

"The queen mother has ordered Chen Hong to be responsible for selecting a colt for me." After a while, Princess Yongning said again.

"Congratulations to the princess." Gao pragmatic said: "Chen Zhangyin is old and serious, and he will definitely be able to find a good match for the princess." ”

"Couple...... Oh, if I don't refuse again and again, I would rather not be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and it would be better than being an imperial couple across the river like my Daming. ”

There is such a rule in the family rules of the Ming royal family: after the princess gets married, she must send an elderly female official to her to manage the affairs of the princess's mansion. And the princess who has nominally been married, in fact, only spent one wedding night in the princess's mansion, and has to move back to the palace specially designed by the harem to live, and only the concubine lives in the empty princess's mansion.

If the princess wants to meet with the horse, the horse must rush into the palace to meet her. However, most of such old female officials are mentally distorted, and the most unaccustomed thing is the scene between the princess and the concubine.

Therefore, if the horse wants to enter the palace to meet the princess and enjoy the love of husband and wife, it is bound to be troubled by this "housekeeper's wife" old female official.

Normally, if the princess and the concubine did not come out with a large amount of real money to bribe, they would not be able to pass their pass at all, and they would not see their husband or wife.

This is what Princess Yongning said about "looking across the river" - she refers to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl once a year, which is similar to the situation of the princesses of Daming.

Because although the princesses will be given land by the emperor as usual, for example, Zhu Yao'e, the eldest princess of Shouyang, was given 2,500 hectares of land by Zhu Yijun last year, but this field is not really given to her, but is managed by the household department, and the household department will give the princess an account with the converted money and goods. However, this money is not guaranteed to be fully in hand - jokes, Ming officials often can't get all of their money, why should your princess's converted money be in place on time and in quantity? We don't say we won't give, but we can't make it up for the time being.

Daming is such a situation, and the emperor can only stare dryly when he hears this kind of thing.

Fortunately, the eldest princess of Shouyang was lucky, her concubine Hou Gongchen was selected by Gao Pragmatic and lived in Gaofu for a long time. Relying on this face, the female officials in the harem don't know how close Hou Gongchen and Gao Pragmatic are, but they obviously know how powerful Gao Pragmatic is in the inner court - Huang Mengyu and Chen Ju in the inner court are old friends with Gao Shiyu for ten years, this is a well-known thing, offending Gao Pragmatic and a foreign minister is not important, but if you offend these two, it will be very bad.

Therefore, the extortion of the eldest princess of Shouyang by the female officials is relatively light, although Hou Gongchen is a poor bastard, but the money in hand of the eldest princess of Shouyang is barely enough for her to meet with Hou Gongchen two or three times a month.

But Princess Yongning does not have this blessing, and the Empress Dowager Cisheng has decided to put Chen Hong in charge of this matter - it is said that Chen Hong himself took the initiative to ask for it - and the eunuchs are only doing this to make money, so there will never be a situation like Hou Gongchen again.

In other words, Princess Yongning's future concubine does not have the ability to make the female officials look at her differently, and when the time comes, how much her converted money of 2,500 hectares of land can be used, the ghost knows.

However, she didn't want to marry the colt she had never seen before, and it wasn't that important to her, but she felt aggrieved when she thought about it.

But she couldn't change it, so the more miserable she felt.

Gao pragmatic love can't help, he was hurt enough last time, and now that the Empress Dowager Cisheng has personally asked, he doesn't dare to come out to find a fight.

As for the broken system of the Ming Dynasty, it was a good thing done by Zhu Yuanzhang's patriarchal Emperor Taizu, his sons were fooling around outside, and most of him was scolded by the next holy decree, but the requirements for his daughters were countless times stricter, such as the horse involved in smuggling - the son may be scolded and it will be over, and the son-in-law will directly lose his head, no matter how the daughter pleads, it is useless.

And the fundamental reason why he stipulated this system was to avoid some royal scandals like Princess Han and Tang Dynasties, and even threaten the imperial power like Princess Taiping, so this matter, even if it is an identity like his high pragmatism, he can't intervene.

Princess Yongning saw that he was silent again, and the bitterness in her eyes was even worse, and she said: "I don't want to see that colt anyway, and after the wedding, I will live in the palace in peace, and it is useless to convert the land to be feuded, so ...... I want to ask Gao Gongzi for one thing. ”

Gao pragmatically said: "Princess, please speak." ”

Princess Yongning said: "That is converted into silver, I want to ask Gao Gongzi to help me do some business, even if it is ...... Well, in Jinghua's words, it's called 'shareholding', right? I don't know how much money there will be, and I don't know how Jinghua's accounts are calculated, but I can trust Gao Gongzi's character, and everything will be handed over to Gao Gongzi to dispose of, do you think it's okay? ”

Well? According to what you say, it's useless to ask for money, so what are you going to invest in?

Gao pragmatic didn't understand a little, but he still agreed and said, "This ...... You can promise it, but if you buy shares, you still have to say something. ”

"Say it."

"Generally speaking, there will be dividends every year after the shares, but in case of loss, Jinghua will not pay for this loss."

Princess Yongning didn't care at all: "Jinghua has lost, what a lot of money does it have to be, if I lose this little money, I will lose it, at most, it will be a loss, you can't let me stick it upside down...... Whatever. ”

Oh? Little girl, you can see it very clearly.

"And then there is, generally speaking, only dividends are distributed after the shares, and if you want to withdraw capital to get back the share capital, you usually have to explain it in advance - of course, if the amount of your highness's shares is not large, the minister can call the shots and let you withdraw the share capital at any time."

Princess Yongning said: "It's not much use for me to ask for money, but seeing that there have always been disasters in various places in recent years, I plan to take advantage of Gao Gongzi's east wind to make a little money, so as not to be unable to take out money when the harem donates funds for disaster relief in the future." The queen mother often said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if I have some merit in the future because of donating money for disaster relief, it is good that I will not be reborn in the emperor's family in the next life. ”

Gao Pragmatic was a little stunned, and said that you are just for this?

But after thinking about it, there is some truth, Empress Dowager Li is a person who worships Buddhism, and this little girl is probably influenced by her mother...... Of course, whether it is a Buddha or not, donating money for disaster relief is a good thing.

But Gao Pragmatic suddenly blessed his soul, thought of one thing, his eyes lit up, and said: "Ah, the minister suddenly has an idea, Her Royal Highness the princess may be interested." ”

Princess Yongning was stunned for a moment, and said secretly in her heart: I am only interested in marrying you.

She knew that Gao Shishi was definitely not talking about this, but her face still turned red and asked softly, "You say." ”

Gao Shishi didn't hear her tone a little different, and said with great interest: "I don't know how much money His Highness has in conversion yet, but after the ministers operate for His Highness and get a larger amount, they can start a fund." ”

"Essence of chicken?" Princess Yongning obviously hadn't heard the word "fund", and suddenly misunderstood: "Monster? ”

Gao was stunned for a moment, then understood, laughed, waved his hand and said, "No, no, the fund...... It is a certain amount of funds set up for a certain purpose, such as His Royal Highness, which can be called the 'Princess Yongning Disaster Relief Fund', which is specially used for disaster relief. Of course, this money needs to be operated by Jinghua on its behalf, and generally speaking, it is to ensure that the total amount of the fund does not decrease, and the profit part will be used for disaster relief...... This is a great thing for the world, and I believe that even if the queen mother and the emperor know about it, they will be happy to appreciate it. ”

But Her Royal Highness the princess didn't seem to have this purpose, so she didn't care very much, just sighed slightly, and said gloomily: "You can do whatever you want." ”
