East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao is wearing a red gold dragon robe today, with a jade belt of tattooed beasts around his waist, which is quite energetic.

He happily squatted on the ground fighting crickets.

It was the height of summer, and the crickets caught in the gravel pile were fat and strong, and this was the only item left in the palace.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Shouning is here."

Zhu Houzhao didn't raise his head: "The uncle of this palace has long been dead." ”

Zhang Heling secretly took a bite with a dark face, this dog's nephew can't change his, and he is fighting crickets again.

Pity the great Confucianism in the world, who tried his best to teach such a thing.

"Houzhao, my uncle wants to entrust you to rent five big ships, and after the deed is completed, he will give you 10,000 taels of silver, don't you want to recruit troops and horses to attack the Tatars? My uncle had long wanted to beat Dayan Khan's grandson. ”

Zhang Heling scolded in pain, but said with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes slightly, looked at him, and was suspicious: "Uncle wants to give 10,000 taels of silver to the palace?" ”

"That's right, it's enough for His Highness to buy a good army of 100 people."

Zhang Heling thought about it, except for His Majesty, only Zhu Houzhao could get a boat from Yan Chengjin.

Compared to that silver mine, 10,000 taels of silver is a drop in the bucket.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion changed suddenly, and his clear eyes showed a shrewd gaze: "What does my uncle want five big ships for, but he wants to go to sea?" If the palace lends you the boat, the father will definitely beat the palace and add money. ”

"Your Highness, make an offer."

"Fifty thousand taels!"

Zhang Heling vomited out a mouthful of old blood, pointed at him and said, "You...... Who did you learn from? ”

"This palace is very smart, how can you learn from it." Zhu Houzhao said disdainfully.

This is learned from the old high.

Lend the big ship to Shou Ning Hou, and when the time comes, the father will blame him, and he will also cut off Shou Ninghou's head, and he will not be blamed.

Zhang Heling gritted her teeth and comforted herself.

The silver dug up in two days from the Iwami silver mine was 10,000 taels.

Fifty thousand taels, that is, ten days of hard work, no loss, no loss.

"Uncle will order someone to send you silver in a while, you hurry up and ask Yan Chengjin to borrow a boat."

"This palace wants to see the silver first."

Since he was a child, he shrunk his clothes and dieted, and his father's monthly allowance for the East Palace was only fifty taels.

Zhu Houzhao hadn't seen so much silver before, as if a gold ingot had fallen from the world, and it was smashing into his bowl.

Bared his teeth and grinned for a long time, and the palace would soon be able to recruit troops and horses out of the customs.

Zhang Heling went to sea in a hurry, returned to the house, and prepared 50,000 taels of silver.

It is almost impossible to send it to the East Palace, and the factory guards will be able to find out.

Zhu Houzhao decided to hide it in a vat of pouring night incense, and then ordered the little eunuch to pull it to the East Palace.

With so much silver, I don't feel at ease when I put it outside the palace, and I won't give it to Lao Gao for safekeeping.

"Your Highness, you must not let Your Majesty know about this matter."

"Hongu is tight-lipped and won't speak, but sometimes he will talk in his dreams."

"......" Zhang Heling wanted to beat him to death.

After the ten barrels of night incense were transported to the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with joy.

The courtyard was a little noisy, and Jiang Wen and the three of them were learning the art of rebuttal with Wang Yue, who was once the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was well versed in the way of rebuttal.

According to Yan Chengjin's words, when the imperial history can be written and debated, it can dominate the court.

He took a sip of sweet wolfberry tea with a blue and white tea cup.

Zhu Houzhao walked in overjoyed: "Old Gao, this palace wants to lend you five big boats." ”

Zhang Heling went to find Zhu Houzhao?

Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Houzhao: "How much silver did His Highness receive from Shouning Hou?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said truthfully: "It's not much, it's only 50,000 taels." ”

Burst!

Yan Chengjin's wolfberry tea was sprayed on Zhu Houzhao's face.

Zhang Heling is willing to pay 50,000 taels, that is to say, the silver in the Iwami Silver Mine is far more than 50,000 taels?

"It's okay to borrow a boat, but you have to pay a deposit of 500,000 taels, and you have to pay a charter fee of 100,000 taels, and you will return it within half a year."

The big ship of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, with the imperial approval of the imperial court, can go to sea and be used to travel to and from Hainan.

Therefore, there is no question of violating the sea ban.

I was not afraid to lend it to Zhang Heling, but I was afraid that he would sink the boat or be robbed by the Japanese robbers.

The cost of a big ship is about 80,000 taels.

After sending everyone out and closing the door of the duty room, Zhu Houzhao said to Yan Chengjin: "Old Gao, how can this palace hide these 50,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Your Highness swore a poisonous oath first, and you are not allowed to say that it is a minister."

Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it, so he sacrificed Emperor Hongzhi to the sky, and blinked: "It's time for you to speak." ”

Yan Chengjin whispered a few words in his ear.

……

Dongnuan Pavilion,

Xiao Jing hurriedly walked in and said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Shouning is selling the shop of the Grange and Chang'an Street. ”

His Majesty casually mentioned it that day, and he sent someone to investigate.

Although these granges were given to Zhang Heling.

But when he dies, he will take it back.

Emperor Hongzhi asked in surprise: "The money I gave him is not thin, and he doesn't worry about food and clothing, what are you doing selling the imperial village?" ”

We don't know...... Xiao Jing said in embarrassment: "The slave maid hasn't found out yet, the prince may know that Shou Ninghou has found the prince." ”

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment, put down the song, and stood up: "Go to the East Palace." ”

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi came to the gate of the East Palace, only to see Jin Wuwei and the little eunuch all driven out.

The doors of the temple were closed, and it was eerily quiet.

"The prince is inside?"

The little eunuch replied tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness is studying in it." ”

When he said this, he didn't believe it himself, let alone Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, he didn't have to think about it to know that he was coerced by the crown prince.

Xiao Jing pushed open the door, and a mysterious stench came to his nose.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't open his eyes, and choked a few times: "What is this!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's a barrel for pouring night incense."

This silver is used for recruitment, and must not be taken away by the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and saluted Emperor Hongzhi: "Erchen has seen his father." ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him coldly, not knowing what trick he was going to play again, and the entire East Palace was filled with a stench.

However, he quickly calmed down, and although the prince was messing around, he was very smart.

How could you be stupid enough to move Yexiang to the dormitory?

These five barrels of night incense must be strange!

"Open these nightshade barrels!"

Xiao Jing was so frightened that his face collapsed: "Your Majesty, it stinks...... The slave is afraid, and it crashes into your eyes. ”

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and said with a straight face: "I said, open these night incense barrels!" ”

Xiao Jing had to order a few little eunuchs to open the night incense barrel that was Qi Ren's high.

Bang dang!

Bang dang!

The five night incense barrels were all opened, and the little eunuchs were so smoked that they almost fainted, but when they saw the white silver in the barrels, their faces suddenly stiffened, and they couldn't close their mouths in shock.

Xiao Jing saw that their faces were abnormal, and he personally stepped forward to visit: "Your Majesty, it's all silver." ”

Emperor Hongzhi had a dark face, glared at Zhu Houzhao angrily, and his voice was furious: "You dare to take a bribe." ”

Zhu Houzhao knelt down with a puff, and said unconvinced: "This is what Erchen deserves." ”

Emperor Hongzhi only felt that there was an invisible qi, which rushed from his chest to the Tianling Gai, and almost died.

Dare you say you deserve it?

Reaching out to the back of his waist, he didn't touch the dragon whip.

At this moment, Xiao Jing took out a whip and said with a flattering smile: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will use it, and the slave and maid are always ready." ”

Those who know me, Xiao is also accompanied!

Emperor Hongzhi raised his whip high and was furious: "What did Shouning Marquis do with your silver?!" ”

This whip must have hurt a lot.

The palace has not been whipped for a long time, and the flesh and skin will not be able to bear it, Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate: "Borrow the big ship of Liangxiang." ”
