Chapter 151: Donating and Borrowing
The three of them sat down, the steward arranged some wine and food, and after some gags, Zhu Xianxuan's expression was a little more relaxed, but he was still panicked in his heart, looked at Chang Yu and asked: "Father-in-law Chang, this king sees that you are also a cheerful person, why don't you just say it, how much money and how much grain do you plan to let the palace pay here."
Readily! Chang Yu stretched out his thumb and praised Zhu Xianxuan: "The prince is refreshing, our family will not beat around the bush, 500,000 yuan in silver, 100,000 stones in grain!" ”
"So much" this time it was not Zhu Xianxuan screaming, but Zhu Zhi'e.
Zhu Xianxuan did not stop it, but bowed his head and was silent.
"County Lord, this is really not much, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in the city......" Chang Yu repeated his previous words again, and sure enough, when he heard that the thieves arrived at Fenzhou Mansion and were one step away, Zhu Zhi'e opened her mouth wide and was shocked on the ground.
In the middle of the ring, Zhu Xianxuan raised his head and looked at Chang Yu: "This king wants to hear the truth, can Taiyuan hold it?" ”
Chang Yu looked at him quietly, then silently poured him a full wine and handed it over, then raised his glass and drank it all, and sighed: "The conscience of heaven and earth, our family doesn't know."
Zhu Xianxuan's hands were trembling, and the wine in the wine glass was spilled.
"But as long as our family is here, we will only die in battle, we will not surrender, if nothing happens, the thief army will not be able to take Taiyuan!" Chang Yu poured another glass, raised his head and dried it, and Zhu Xianxuan drank all the wine in his hand with a wry smile.
Chang Yu hurriedly helped him fill it up again: "If the prince provides food, the soldiers contribute, and the army and the people are united, with the high walls of Taiyuan City, how can it be so easy for the thief army to attack and break it."
The city is high and the walls are thick, hehe, Zhu Xianxuan sneered and drank the cup again, and Chang Yu hurriedly helped him fill it again.
"Kaifeng, Luoyang is not a city with high walls and thick walls, and in the end, it is still ......" Zhu Xianxuan did it again.
"There is a reason for the incident between Kaifeng and Luoyang, and what King Fu is doing is personnel" Chang Yu sighed and added wine to him.
"This world, it's really fucking ......" Zhu Xianxuan raised his head and did it again, scolded casually, and then fell on the table and cried bitterly.
Chang Yu sighed, this teenage boy Wang Ye looks infinitely beautiful, but how much pressure he has to bear in whatever position he sits, his father died early, he was crowned king when he was weak, he was just an adult, the thief army besieged the city, and he cried under the pressure, like a child.
"Dare to ask Grandpa Chang, how many thieves are there?" Zhu Zhi'e gently patted Zhu Xianxuan's side head and asked.
"More than 500,000!" Chang Yu blurted out after a little contemplation, so he said this, just to exert pressure, sure enough, the brother and sister were shocked, Zhu Xianxuan also stopped sobbing, suddenly clenched his fists, picked up the wine jug and poured it directly, Chang Yu did not stop it.
But to his surprise, Zhu Zhi'e also raised a glass......
"Men should be self-reliant, these days, who lives easily in this world, the prince can at least be clothed and fed, and look at the people inside and outside the city, poor and sick, without clothing, hungry and cold...... Chang Yu sighed and comforted.
"This king is a king, why should he compare it with a commoner" Zhu Xianxuan was very arrogant, and took a few more sips and lay on the table and sobbed.
"Okay, then let's not compare with civilians, take a comparable comparison with you, the prince's status is no worse than yours, do you think he can be better than you at this time?" Chang Yu said.
"The crown prince is the prince of a country, what is his suffering, what is his difficulty?" Zhu Xianxuan snorted.
This time it was Chang Yu's turn to smile bitterly and shook his head gently: "He is the great suffering, the thief army broke a village, the people wandered and lost, broke a city, the prince will destroy the Xiang's family, but if ten cities are broken, the prince is a ruined country" said and pointed to the dishes on the table: "The national treasury has been empty for many years, and the royal treasury has long been stretched, everything is simple, to tell the truth, these dishes in front of you, not to mention the prince, even the emperor has not eaten for a long time."
Ah, Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Zhi'e were stunned at the same time, silently falling into deep thought.
Chang Yu didn't interrupt the two, just kept drinking tea to relieve hangover.
Half-ringing, Zhu Xianxuan looked up at Chang Yu slightly: "Father-in-law Chang and the prince are close?" ”
"The closest in the palace, comparable to a brother" Chang Yu's expression was solemn, and he didn't need to say anything, Zhu Cihong was very dependent on him and respected him as a brother.
Zhu Xianxuan thought it was funny, a eunuch royal servant dared to call the prince a brother and sister, a good match, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not so ridiculous, the factory governor has always been powerful, only under the emperor, the government and the opposition do not hold their thighs, even if the prince is fighting for power, for example, Emperor Chongzhen was also hypocritical to Wei Zhongxian before he ascended the throne.
The little eunuch in front of him, who was in a high position at a young age and was favored by the emperor, must have two brushes, and it was not surprising that the prince Zhu Cihong hugged his thigh, and he was of the same age, this little eunuch had no shelf, and it was not impossible to become a friend.
"This king and the crown prince are also brothers, and the crown prince is only a few months older than this king," Zhu Xianxuan said suddenly.
Oh, yes, Chang Yu was slightly stunned.
"But no, this king is a judge generation, the prince is a ci generation, it is a brother, he is the royal brother!" Zhu Xianxuan explained.
Chang Yu realized that Zhu Yuanzhang gave birth to twenty-six sons in one go, and he was afraid that the names of his descendants would overlap and be disordered, so he gave each son's descendant a twenty-character generation.
King Jin is the third elder of the Zhu family, Jimei Zhong Qi Table, Zhixin is cautious and sensitive, Xian Jingmu is a judge of the heart, and Zhu Xianxuan is the ninth generation.
The old Siyan Wang family is Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Cihe Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou, and Zhu Cihong is also the ninth generation.
So Zhu Xianxuan said that the two are brothers, which is not bad at all.
"Since they are brothers, now that the national disaster is at hand, the prince should help him even more, and the prince will ascend the throne one day, and the prince will be treated favorably in this friendship." Chang Yu smiled slightly.
Zhu Xianxuan seemed to be smiling, raised his glass and drank it all: "The king of food and salary has donated it"
Chang Yu slapped a heavy punch, and hurriedly helped him fill the cup again, "The prince is righteous, our family immediately went up to the emperor to show the prince's righteousness, so that the whole country will take the prince as an example......"
Zhu Xianxuan smiled bitterly and toasted again.
"Lord Wang, there is still something to discuss" Chang Yu finished filming his ass and saw that Zhu Xianxuan was already drunk for seven or eight points, so he stepped up his offensive.
"What's the matter, the king of money is out, the food is also out, Chang Gonggong will not let this king send troops, this king has no soldiers, Chang Gonggong can't frame this king......" Zhu Xianxuan was already big tongue at this time.
"The prince has always been law-abiding, how can there be soldiers in his hands" Chang Yu smiled; "Our family just wants to ask the prince to borrow some silver salary!"
What? Zhu Xianxuan was stunned, and his wine woke up a little, and he donated 500,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 stones of grain was not enough!
Even Zhu Zhi'e, who had been silent next to her, had anger on her face, and sure enough, there was no good thing in the East Factory, and she plucked her hair across the border.
"Lord, listen to our family, this time it is a loan, not a donation, those you donate are for the defense of the city and the people, Taiyuan is your country, the thief army is coming, you pay the silver to fund the army and the people, the army and the people give up their lives to defend the city and protect the country for you, to tell the truth, this is a matter of course.
However, although Taiyuan is your feudal country, after all, it is also a subject of the emperor, and it is impossible for the emperor to let you stand alone, so it will not chill the hearts of the kings, so you must also make some efforts."
"Out, out, what strength?" Zhu Xianxuan was already a little stunned, and he was even more dizzy when he was surrounded by Chang Yu at this time.
"Send troops, food, and silver!" Chang Yu looked serious: "Look, as soon as the emperor heard that the thief army was coming to Taiyuan, he immediately transferred reinforcements from Xuanda, but at this time, the treasury was in deficit and the silver salary was really not enough, but he couldn't let you out, so borrow first and then pay it back, the emperor is really benevolent!"
"Borrow, how much?" Zhu Xianxuan suddenly felt that what Chang Yu said made sense.
"First borrow 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stones of grain, rest assured, this is borrowed, the court will pay it back, and when the war is over, it will be returned!" We are willing to work with Governor Cai and General Zhou to vouch for the imperial court."
Zhu Xianxuan was silent, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, but he felt that what Chang Yu said was very reasonable, the thief army was attacking his fiefdom, and it was natural for him to pay for the grain, and at this time, the imperial court also sent reinforcements, but there was no money on hand for the time being, so borrow first and then pay it back, there was nothing wrong.
"Brother Wang, I always feel that something is wrong!" Zhu Zhi'e frowned and whispered in Zhu Xianxuan's ear.
Zhu Xianxuan looked up at Chang Yu, and saw that he was sitting with a sincere face: "Lord Wang, this time the silver salary is used in Taiyuan, just to ensure the safety of Taiyuan, and to protect you from the king's lineage."
"Borrowed" Zhu Xianxuan no longer hesitated.
Chang Yu was overjoyed, and immediately asked people to prepare pen and ink, asked Zhu Zhi'e to write an IOU, signed and stamped it himself, and then urged Zhu Xianxuan to order his subordinates to handle it, and he wanted to get the silver grain before this guy woke up.
The army is approaching the city, Zhu Xianxuan is young and uncertain, and he has an indescribable grievance in his psychology, at this time, he just wants to relieve his alcohol and vent his emotions, cry and laugh for a while, and hook up with Chang Yu for a while to call him a brother.
And Chang Yu was so easy to borrow such a large amount of money and food, and he was also happy in his heart, and there was a beautiful county lord by his side, so he also let go of drinking.
So, the three of them sang about wine in the palace, crying and laughing, and there was a tendency to be restless, but although the subordinates were surprised, they did not dare to interfere, even if the concubine heard it, it was only for people to keep inquiring about the news, and they did not dare to come to stop it
After all, the visitor is the governor of the East Factory, after all, I heard that it was a matter of discussing the thief army, after all, there is nothing evil for the son to be able to talk to the Governor of the East Factory, but Zhi'e's girl is making a lot of fun.
There is also a feeling of distress when he heard that his son borrowed and donated nearly half of the family property of the palace, but he thought that if he did not donate or borrow, the thief army would enter the city, and it would be the point of ruining the family, so he had to acquiesce and let the palace be busy taking silver and carrying grain.
It was nine o'clock in the evening when Cai Maode got the news and rushed over, and Zhu Xianxuan was already drunk at this time, and he kept muttering words that no one could understand.
When he heard that Chang Yu had borrowed so much food and salary, and most of them were donated, Cai Maode really stayed for a long time and silently gave Chang Yu a thumbs up.
But she was soon dragged over by Zhu Zhi'e and signed on the IOU.
Cai Maode took several officials in the city to hand over the salary and silver in the palace, and Zhu Xianxuan was drunk and rotten like mud.
Zhu Zhi'e had peach blossoms on her face, and she was still raising a glass to drink with Chang Yu, and sometimes Chang Yu made her tremble.
You must know that Chang Yu has traveled from later generations, how can this little girl withstand more than ten years of flirting with girls, and after a few rounds, he secretly promised that this little eunuch is not only good-looking, but also so funny and humorous, although he is in a high position, he has no shelf at all, and more important things, the ability to squeeze his eyebrows and seduce people is simply perfect, and it can be summed up in one word, Sao!
Although Chang Yu doesn't like wine, he is good at drinking, and it is rare to be happy today with the beautiful county lord on his side, which makes him full of spring, so he also lets go of drinking.
"I heard that none of your eunuchs have that, do you?" I don't know how many rounds of wine have passed, Zhu Zhi'e's tongue is also big, she looked at Chang Yu sideways, and asked with a crimson face.
This girl seems to be drunk, Chang Yu laughed secretly in his heart, and began to beg for cheapness: "It's better to see than to hear, the county lord can have a look at Yaxing."
Zhu Zhi'e, who was already crimson, blushed, snorted softly, and the dead eunuch was still so coquettish: "I really see that you dare to take it off."
"Why don't you dare, the county lord only needs to open his mouth, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, for you to die!" Chang Yu smiled lewdly, and kept raising her eyebrows at Zhu Zhi'e, this girl is not only good-looking, but also has a bit of Liu Yifei's charm, but the difficulty is to let it go, and the greenness of the little apple, Zhu Yujiao's coldness has another taste.
"Which ends, which one dies" Zhu Zhi'e looked stunned, and then said: "It must not be a good word, you dare to tease me."
"It's not flirting, it's seducing" Chang Yu laughed.
Zhu Zhi'e's face turned even redder.
