Jiading Bo Zhoukui? Zhu Cihong was stunned, isn't that my grandfather? He didn't raise silkworms in Suzhou, why did he come to Yingtianfu? Do you also want to invest in the construction of a principality...... This is not easy to do, now a bunch of princes are grabbing land, where is there still land for him to build a country?

Besides, he's all cut like that, and he's not suitable for the big deal of colonial nation-building, right?

"Announce him to the temple!" Zhu Cihong couldn't think of it, but still decided to summon Zhou Kui. After all, Emperor Chongzhen was sitting next to him, and he had to give him a little face - that was his father-in-law!

Zhou Kui was a little dizzy as soon as he entered the Imperial Palace, what is going on today? Why are a bunch of princes arguing around a big ball-like thing? Could it be that the Zongren Mansion is holding a conference? It's quite fierce......

His attention was all attracted by this group of noisy princes, and he didn't notice that his good son-in-law, Emperor Chongzhen, was sitting in a chair next to Zhu Cihong's throne.

After being taken to a futon by the eunuch, the old emperor Zhou didn't dare to look at Zhu Cihong, so he knelt down and kowtowed to say hello. He is very afraid of this good grandson, and he came to expose Chongzhen today because he was afraid! And exposing the son-in-law of the Emperor is really a bit immoral, so the old man also felt guilty, Zhu Cihong shouted flat, he didn't get up, and he cried on the ground.

When he cried, Zhu Cihong, who was originally smiling, also frowned - what's wrong? Could it be that my grandmother died? It's pretty good during the New Year, how can you say that it's gone? And it's not very old, only 73 years old!

Zhu Cihong hurriedly asked: "Old Guozhang, why are you crying so sadly?" Is there something wrong at home? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is crying because, because of ......" Zhou Guozhang didn't dare to say "Emperor Taishang rebelled", Chongzhen is his son-in-law in the end, even if he wants to expose it, he has to be tactful.

"It's because the old minister's son-in-law is crazy!"

What the? Is your son-in-law crazy? Zhu Cihong didn't expect Zhou Kui to say Chongzhen, Zhou Kui has a daughter, the eldest daughter is married to Chongzhen, the second daughter is already widowed, and the crazy one should be Zhou Guozhang's third daughter, that is, Zhu Cihong's sister-in-law.

"My brother-in-law is crazy?" Zhu Cihong frowned and said, "It's quite normal during the Chinese New Year, why did you go crazy in a blink of an eye?" ”

"It's not the minister's little son-in-law, but the minister's eldest son-in-law who is crazy......"

"Your eldest son-in-law......" Zhu Cihong looked back at Chongzhen, with a little doubt in his eyes: Father, are you crazy?

Chongzhen was also inexplicably surprised, he invited Zhou Kui to Ying Tianfu because he wanted him to help sell things - Chongzhen had too many treasures to sell, and Ying Tianfu's market was a little indigestible, so he wanted Zhou Guozhang to help sell to Suzhou Mansion.

But what's the matter with this old man? Chongzhen really couldn't figure it out, why did this old man say to the rebel son that I was crazy as soon as he came to Ying Tianfu?

At this time, the Imperial Palace, which was originally a little noisy, became silent, and the princes stopped grabbing the territory, and they all looked at Chongzhen.

Zhu Cihong frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Zhou Guozhang said: "Your Majesty, what is going on is not very clear, the minister just received an order from the Emperor Taishang to come to the Laoshan Palace quickly, and the minister did not dare to delay, so he came immediately." When I arrived here, I learned that the Emperor Taishang was selling the treasures in the palace to raise funds for the founding of the country. But how can such a thing as building a country be done by the emperor? And you shouldn't even think about it! Not to mention setting up a stall in front of the palace to sell treasures and raise money for planning. So the old minister thinks that the emperor must be crazy......"

"Zhou Kui, what nonsense are you talking about!?"

Before Zhou Guozhang's words were finished, Emperor Chongzhen had already jumped up, he had already mistaken people for a faint monarch, he was wronged enough, how could he become a madman again? This has to be passed out!

When the old man heard Chongzhen's roar, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked up, and saw the "Crazy Emperor" standing there angrily, his face was blue and terrifying - he looked like a madman!

Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "Father is angry, Mo is as knowledgeable as the old father-in-law, the old father-in-law is old and his brain is confused, how do you know how big we are doing now?" ”

What to buy and sell? Zhou Guozhang was stunned and stunned, isn't this the court? Is it a place to do business?

When the old man was confused, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, spoke, he is now the commander of the sect, and he is considered an elder of the clan, although Zhou Guozhang is not a clan, he is also a national relative, and now there are some misunderstandings, he should come forward to explain.

"Guozhang, now Your Majesty is leading us to do a big deal called colonial nation-building! It is to go outside the mainland of the Ming Dynasty and grab a piece of ownerless rich land to establish a vassal state...... The Emperor Taishang sold some unneeded treasures just to raise some money to invest in this big deal! ”

Zhou Kui shook his head repeatedly, "I don't understand." ”

"Don't you understand?" Zhu Cihong asked patiently.

Zhou Kui said: "The old minister doesn't understand why he still wants to rob the borderland? And how can this borderlands be rich? ”

"This ......" Zhu Cihong thought for a while, "Old Guozhang, you just said nonsense that the Emperor Taishang went crazy...... A lot of people have heard this, what should I do? King Lu, you are the order of the Zongren Mansion, do you say that the abbot should be punished for slandering the emperor with nonsense? ”

Zhu Yihai said: "The crime should be punished!" ”

Zhou Kui's heart was about to break when he heard it!

Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "What crime should be punished?" ”

Zhu Yihai replied: "Your Majesty, Zhou Kui is the father-in-law of the Emperor Taishang after all, what crime should be punished...... The minister wants to ask the emperor to decide. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded, and said to Zhou Kui with a smile: "As long as the Emperor Taishang spares you, I won't ask, you hurry up and plead with the Emperor!" ”

"Emperor Taishang, the old minister ......" Zhou Kui saw Emperor Chongzhen's face, and knew that it was not good, "The old minister is confused, the old minister is really confused!" ”

"Humph!" Chongzhen just snorted coldly.

Zhou Kui had no choice but to plead with Zhu Cihong with his eyes, and Zhu Cihong smiled and said to Chongzhen: "Father...... Erchen heard that your treasures are not easy to sell, and there are many people who watch the excitement, but there are few people who pay for it! ”

Chongzhen sighed: "It's really not very good!" ”

"Jiadingbo," Zhu Cihong said to Zhou Kui again, "Why don't you pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy some treasures back?" In this way, the emperor may not care about you. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of ......"

Zhou Kui was a little anxious. Most of Chongzhen's things are tributes, and they are also special royal things, these things can only be offered after they are bought, and they are useless at all!

"Buy, buy!" Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "It's all good things, it's good to pass them on to your descendants...... It's hard for them to defeat if they want to! ”

Yes, they are all royal things, and you don't dare to ask for gambling money!

"Old, the old minister didn't ......" Zhou Kui said, peeked at Emperor Chongzhen's face again, and hurriedly changed his words, "The old minister bought it, can't you buy it?" ”

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "Flat, give a seat!" ”

He beckoned to the group of princes, "Sit down, sit down, I have something to say to you." ”

The princes listened to his greeting, and all sat down according to the size of the shift.

Zhu Cihong said: "I know what you just argued about...... You all want to take a good place and build a great and rich kingdom to pass on to your children.

The idea is good, but the difficulties are small, and the benefits are big! It's really that easy to colonize and build a country, I took all the territory a long time ago, and I will give it to you? Don't envy King Jiaqing, think that he has no ability and no capital, and he has actually done the business of colonial and nation-building, so you think you can do it.

Actually, the Kingdom of Jiaqing cannot be regarded as the establishment of King Jiaqing, he is just a banner! The forces that really established the Kakei Kingdom were two Japanese samurai groups headed by Masaki Hoshina and Mitsuhisa Shimazu...... This group of people can fight, kill and operate, and they have no future in Japan, so they are willing to take risks. King Jiaqing is honest, easy to get along with, and he is my younger brother, and he has the banner of the Great Ming Dynasty, so he has the support of these people.

Even so, it was not easy for the Gaqing Kingdom they built to develop, and the money raised by selling the title could at most allow this vassal kingdom to survive. ”
