Zhu Youzhu is very satisfied with his son's attitude, as an emperor, he is not allowed to fail, even if it seems to be a failure.

Back in Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was busy until now, and he was finally about to get things done, reaching out and gently tapping on the noodles, Zhu Houzhao pondered what he should do. When Zhu Houzhao pondered this matter, the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went south to Yangzhou also spread throughout the capital, and the civil and military officials were a little puzzled for a while, what His Majesty was going to do.

At the same time, in an inn in the capital, a middle-aged man in his forties was standing behind a young man, bowing down and saying, "Childe, this is the news that just came out." “

The young man standing in front of the middle-aged man sighed lightly, closed the folding fan with a brush, and then said: "The capital is really different from Yangzhou, my father is really prescient, the direction of the wind is unknown, although everyone knows what Shou Ninghou did, but no one can stop it, once the game starts, it will be a never-ending situation, and it will definitely be a dead end in Yangzhou." ”

This young man is none other than Liu Ji, the son of Liu Qi, the Yangzhou transfer envoy, and the middle-aged man standing behind him is naturally Liu Qi's master Liu Dian.

Without waiting for Liu Dian to answer his question, Liu Ji said directly: "Is there a reply to the post?" When will Shou Ninghou see us? “

"I'm afraid I'm going to ask for this, wait!" Liu Dian said with some embarrassment: "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Yangzhou, things are changing too fast, and no one knows where to go next." I'm afraid that the Shouning Marquis Mansion will have to wait for news. Although Shou Ninghou has been reaching out to Yangzhou, if the prince intervenes, Shou Ninghou is afraid that he will have to restrain himself. ”

Liu Ji glanced at his father's master, smiled and waved his hand, not to mention restraint, once the prince intervened, maybe Shou Ninghou would retract himself. Money is very important, but you can't make it impossible to earn money and spend it!

Although it is said that people die for money, birds die for food, but it also depends on what it is, Shou Ninghou is such a noble, where can people get money from, the emperor's relatives, the status is noble, how can he work hard for money!

Forbidden City, Xianyang Palace.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Shouning is here!" Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao's side and bowed.

Shou Ninghou is here?

This Zhu Houzhao is not surprising, although some people outside have impeached Shouning Hou for entering the palace too often, but Zhu Youzhu basically ignored it. Zhu Youzhu is famous for loving his wife, and his wife can't go back to her parents' house, so let her mother's family go into the palace to accompany his wife, this kind of thing is not talked about here in Zhu Youzhang.

Shou Ninghou ran to the palace basically like going home, and Zhu Houzhao was used to it, but this time Shou Ninghou obviously didn't come to visit relatives.

"Let him in!" Although Zhu Houzhao was a little helpless, he still opened his mouth and said, Shou Ninghou didn't know how to avoid suspicion.

Time didn't last long, Ning Hou walked in from outside, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "See Your Highness!" ”

These days, the majesty of Zhu Houzhao is increasing day by day here in Shouninghou, and after the establishment of the Salt and Iron Division, Shouninghou is impressed with his nephew. Yan Zheng's affairs have all seen his nephew's arrangement, Shou Ninghou is even more frightened, now seeing Zhu Houzhao, Shou Ninghou is really afraid, although the other party is young, but it is because of his young age that he is scary.

Zhu Hou looked at Shou Ninghou and said with a smile: "No courtesy, sit down!" As he spoke, he said to Liu Jin: "Brew some new tea from outside for Shou Ninghou to taste." ”

"Your Highness!" Shou Ninghou hurriedly said.

When the tea came up, Zhu Houzhao said: "I went over to Yangzhou this time, naturally there is no problem, the important thing is that here in the capital, don't do anything during the days I leave, wait and see, don't do well." Once there is a mistake on the capital side, the Yangzhou side will also become very troublesome, so you have to pay attention, and when I come back from Yangzhou, then everything will be fine. “

"Listen to Your Highness!" Shou Ninghou hurriedly said, he didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest now, let alone have the slightest objection, and nodded again and again.

Although Shou Ninghou also stretched out his hand to Yan Zheng, Shou Ninghou just made a small fortune from it and made some money, and Shou Ninghou never thought of holding Yan Zheng in his hand. Compared with his nephew's generosity, Shou Ninghou felt that he was making a small fuss. Now that he thinks about it, he can't be excited, how much is that! This is going to be sent!

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he didn't care what Shou Ninghou thought, but Zhu Houzhao was not afraid of Xungui or Xunqi like the previous salt merchants.

Those people are far from being managed, and the gentry are from a high background, so it is quite difficult to move them, but Xungui and Xunqi are different, the emperor wants to deal with them, and the reason is not even very useful, a faux pas or prefabrication, and it is okay to raid the house. Zhu Houzhao is raising moths, like Qianlong raising Heshen, if the officials are clear and the world is stable, Zhu Houzhao will not think of such a way.

But the current Ming Dynasty is obviously not like this, raising moths is a very good way, not only economically, politically!

Zhu Hou looked at Shou Ninghou and asked in a casual tone, "Is Shen Lu your person?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's question, Shou Ninghou was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the minister just has a good relationship with Shen Lu, and occasionally communicates with each other!" ”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Uncle don't be nervous, the General Administration Department will be of great use in the future, Shen Lu is my uncle's person, this is very good, when I come back from Yangzhou, you will know." “

"Yes, Your Highness!" Shou Ninghou agreed, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to have anything to say, he said, "The minister came to the palace, there are some things." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Then say!" ”

From Shou Ninghou's attitude, it can be seen that he is very afraid of himself, which is not surprising that Zhu Houzhao is not surprised, but Zhu Houzhao has not eased this state, it is a good thing to be afraid, and only when you are afraid will you be measured, otherwise you will die.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Shou Ninghou nodded and said: "Someone handed a post to the house yesterday, originally it was nothing, there are many people who go to the house to deliver the post these days, but this person is a little different, the person who handed the post is the person who sent the post to Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou." It was Liu Qi's son who came, and the minister didn't know whether to see or not to see, and he didn't know how to deal with it. “

After listening to Shou Ninghou's words, Zhu Houzhao smiled, nodded and said, "The reaction is not slow, this Liu Qi is a little interesting." ”

Glancing at Shou Ninghou, who was a little apprehensive, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Let's meet!" Look at what he has to say, maybe there will be a surprise! ”
