Chapter 11: The Blessed King
As the third son of Emperor Wanli, with the blessing of his mother Zheng Guifei, he has been very loved by Wanli since he was a child.
It's hard to say whether Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun is a good emperor, but for the blessed king Zhu Changxun, he must be a good father.
In order to help Zhu Changxun ascend to the throne, Wanli did not hesitate to fight with the Manchu Dynasty for fifteen years, and therefore choked the Ming Dynasty.
For this reason, he got away four cabinet chiefs and assistants, thirteen six Shangshu, and more than 300 court officials, and finally completely severed the relationship between the civilian group and the emperor.
Zhu Yijun also took on a big black cauldron that died in Wanli because of this.
Although Emperor Wanli returned with a feather, Zhu Changxun did not become the crown prince as he wished, but Wanli's love for him is increasing day by day.
The doting psychology after superimposing guilt is even more overflowing.
The cost of Zhu Changxun's wedding alone was as much as 300,000 taels, and it cost another 280,000 taels to build the mansion of King Fu in Luoyang.
One-tenth of the annual financial income of the household department of the Ming Dynasty was used by Wanli to buy a house for the children and marry a daughter-in-law.
It is really not easy for Emperor Wanli to be a father.
Of course, this is not the end, I bought a house and married a daughter-in-law, and I have to find a meal for my children.
Although Zhu Changxun was sealed in Luoyang, Comrade Zhu Yijun, a child slave, disliked that Henan was too poor, and found 40,000 hectares of grange for the child from Shandong and Huguang.
Now the child can't be hungry.
But Zhu Yijun doesn't think so, he feels that just giving land can't express a father's love for his son.
At this time, he happened to overturn Zhang Juzheng, so Zhang Xiangye's lifelong wealth returned to His Royal Highness King Fu.
If Zhang Xiangye had known about the spring, he would definitely break out of the ground, pointing at the nose of Emperor Wanli and scolding: "Niang Xipi, it doesn't count to extend the life of your old Zhu family, and you won't even pay for your hard work when you die." ”
What did the Ming Dynasty do to make the most money, the answer is, of course, to sell salt, how can such a lucrative business not have the share of the blessed king.
So Wanli allocated thousands of salt to King Huaiyang, the king of Fu, and also gave Sichuan the monopoly right of salt tea.
After Emperor Wanli did this, he still felt that it was not enough, thought about it, and gave the tax of the Yangtze River trade route from Yangzhou to Huangshan to King Fu.
At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty really couldn't stand the drowning style of the Wanli Emperor, and they wrote letters to advise.
Xin said, "Although this Ming belongs to your old Zhu family, you also have to leave a way for the people to live, do you still want to continue the three major expeditions?" ’。
So under the intervention of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Zhu Yijun stopped.
As the world often says: The emperor is rich all over the world, and the blessed king is more and more.
Although it is a slight exaggeration, the wealth of King Fu can be seen.
Fuwang Zhu Changxun's living conditions are good, and he is even richer when he becomes an adult, and with the blessing of various delicacies from the mountains and seas, he finally becomes a big fat man.
As soon as this person is fat, he doesn't like to move, so Zhu Changxun usually doesn't like to go out, he likes to stay at home, and he has nothing to do with his concubine to play the game of hiding and hiding, a proper otaku idol.
But his own nephew died, and he still had to go to Beijing to pay respects.
Zhu Changxun, as the closest prince to Zhu Youzhen's blood relationship, was also treated very well after entering Beijing.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites knew that the conditions of this prince's house were good, and they were afraid that the hospitality would not be good, so they chose the best mansion for him to live in temporarily, and all kinds of supplies were used by him first.
But despite this, King Fu was still a little dissatisfied, feeling that this capital was nothing more than that, and it was not as good as his own palace.
'The world can be more luxurious than your own palace house, it is estimated that it is the Forbidden City. ’
Zhu Changxun thought so, and the maid next to him brought a peeled and pitted grape to his mouth.
Zhu Changxun is very fat, so he is more afraid of heat, and the two maids behind him fan him, and he doesn't feel how cool it is.
"Hey, there is no force in fate, the Forbidden City is estimated to be unable to live in this life, so let's go back to Henan as soon as possible to enjoy the blessings." ’
Thinking like this, Zhu Changxun felt a little irritable inexplicably, and then raised his foot and kicked down the two maids in front of him, and stood up with his chair.
It was a hot day, and he was going to go for a walk in the yard.
As soon as he got up, the butler of the palace came in.
"Lord Wang, an old eunuch outside asked to see him, and he said that he was Wang Tiqian."
"Wang Tiqian, isn't he the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch? What did he come to look for? ”
Although King Fu is fat, his brain is not stupid, and he still knows a little about the major matters and important people in the imperial court.
He still knew the palm seals of the celebrant and the eunuchs of Bingbi, and when he went to the Forbidden City to mourn during the day, this Wang Tiqian also greeted him, and his attitude was very cordial and submissive, which startled him.
Zhu Changxun knew that Wang Tiqian was a nine-thousand-year-old man, and he was also the eunuch in charge of the seal, although he was the prince, he was still a little afraid of the core figure of Wei Zhongxian's lineage.
At this time, thinking about Wang Tiqian's smiling face in the daytime, he suddenly felt a little suspicious.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
But the eunuch who held the seal of the master of ceremonies was waiting at the door, and he didn't dare to take Qiao, although he didn't know what it was, but he didn't see it behind closed doors, but he completely offended people.
"Hurry up, please."
After a while, Wang Tiqian arrived at the main hall with a smile.
After greeting for a while, after the guests and hosts sat down, Zhu Changxun was silent, wanting to see what the old eunuch was holding back.
The chamberlain and the vassal king had a late-night secret meeting, which is probably not a good thing.
Sure enough, after Wang Tiqian took a sip of the dragon well before the rain, he opened his mouth and said.
"Your Highness, how is the Fuwang Mansion compared to the Forbidden City?"
When Zhu Changxun heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of tea, thinking that you are not afraid of the roundworms in my stomach.
There are people in the world who dare to compare like this, comparing the house with the emperor, I'm afraid it's tired and crooked.
And even if you think about Bibi in your heart, after all, no one knows, but if you say it blatantly, I'm afraid you're going to hurt me.
"Zhongguan, don't hurt the orphan, don't say anything more."
"Hahahaha."
Wang Tiqian chuckled lightly twice, and said to Zhu Changxun again.
"His Royal Highness was also a monstrous and wealthy person at the beginning, but those Donglin framed and went to a corner of Zhongzhou, and as a result, his courage became smaller."
Wang Tiqian said, shook his head, and saw that Zhu Changxun's expression had changed slightly, so he added another fire.
"The disaster is near, Your Highness is cautious, but it is difficult to protect yourself."
After Wang Tiqian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then kept silent, making Zhu Changxun a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Changxun said in his heart, "Sure enough, he is a eunuch, he has done his best to do the Taoism of these warlocks, and he doesn't go to the overpass to pretend to be a blind fortune teller, he is really blind in vain."
Zhu Changxun secretly slandered Wang Tiqian, although he didn't believe him, he was still a little curious about the misfortune he said.
Maybe he often walks in the inner palace and knows some secrets of the court that are not enough for outsiders.
