Luoyang Fuwang Mansion five steps on the first floor of ten steps and a pavilion, pavilions and pavilions meander among them, look at the house temple in the distance, stretch for several miles, repair is really called a majestic and magnificent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Today, several of Luoyang's most famous musicians in the inner palace guest hall of Fuwang's Mansion are playing music, and eight enchanting and moving dancers are writhing in hazy gauze dresses, and the singers are also singing sultry songs in a timely manner.

Although there were only five people at the banquet, the standard was quite high, and the Fu King Zhu Changxun was the east, and the three princes Zhu Yousong, Zhu Youqu, and Zhu Youhua were personally accompanied, because he was entertaining an important guest - Wang Haifeng, a big salt merchant from Puzhou, Shanxi.

Fu Wang Sheng's white and chubby, but not the rumored three hundred pounds of big fat man, he smiled and picked up the wine glass at Wang Haifeng Yao, and said: "The king's affairs and Mr. Lao threaded the needle from it, and asked Mr. to say a few more words for this king in front of Huang Liji Huang Ge Lao, after the matter is completed, it will be as Mr. wishes, and this king will make the decision to marry Mr. Zhu Huiyuan, the princess of Le'an." ”

Wang Haifeng, who was sitting on the upper seat, was happy when he heard that Princess Le'an was married to him, and said in a daze: "That's natural, Wang is now in a prosperous relationship with the prince, and he will do his best to run for the prince's affairs." Although the Wang family is a big family in Puzhou, but my family has been passed down for six generations, and my father has always wanted me to be an official, so that I can glorify my ancestors, but I am only shallow and not even a show of talent, so I have to inherit the family business and do this salt business. Hey, although he has a lot of money, the clothes of silk and satin can only be worn at home. ”

King Fu laughed heartily, "As long as Princess Le'an marries Mr., Mr. is a colt, so it will be so troublesome." When the time comes, the king will find a fat shortage to give to Mr., and it will be easy to realize this matter of changing the court of the glorious ancestors. However, Princess Le'an is known as the first beauty in Beijing, and Mr. will enjoy the blessings he will have in the future. ”

Wang Haifeng was fascinated when he thought of Princess Le'an's alluring appearance, and then looked at the faint delicate body of the dancing girl in the hall, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help licking his lips, "Haha, in the future, Wang will rely on King Fu to take care of you." I think this world should have been the blessed king, who knew that today's saint picked up a big bargain. You think, if you, the true dragon emperor, sat on the throne at the beginning, how could there be any eunuch rebellion, how could there be any Donglin recovery, do you say yes? ”

When King Fu heard that Wang Haifeng actually said such a rebellious thing, he was terrified in his heart, if the Jinyi Wei who was arrested heard it, it would not be a capital crime of rebellion and killing his head. But as soon as he thought that this was in his inner palace, he put his heart in his stomach, and even the musician was his confidant around him, so he had nothing to worry about.

He had coveted the emperor's position for a long time, and a few glasses of wine seemed to arouse his desire for power, and he said forgetfully: "My father originally intended to set up this king as the crown prince to inherit the throne, but those courtiers didn't know the general situation. If this king had ascended to the throne, there would still be a eunuch party, and there would have been a Donglin Restoration Society, and he would not have died in less than a month. Sir, look at what the court is in chaos now, the party and government are continuous, the emperor is about to be squeezed to death by those courtiers, and those imperial historians dare to scold the emperor outside the imperial palace, what kind of system is this? The royal prestige and face were all lost by their father and son, and if the king is not a monarch or a minister, how can there be a trace of the appearance of the heavenly dynasty. If you want me to say that they are not virtuous enough to sit in this great position, otherwise how can there be continuous natural and man-made disasters? ”

The loyal Zhu Yousong felt a little embarrassed when he heard his father Zhu Changxun's words, and even had a feeling of family ugliness, he looked displeased, "Father, since you are already the emperor's grace, there are more gold and silver treasures in the Fuwang Mansion than in the Great Interior, and we can't spend all these glory and wealth for generations." Why would you risk your head to do that usurpation? ”

The cunning Zhu Youqu doesn't think so, after all, King Fu will not be able to inherit the throne in a hundred years, but if King Fu becomes the emperor, he will be a prince, and the situation will be very different. King Fu is now more and more dislike the pedantic eldest brother, and his younger brother Zhu Youhua is indisputable by nature, and he is not the material for the emperor at all.

Therefore, after King Fu showed his heart to this brother, he was the most active, and he would please King Fu. This time was the same, he saw that King Fu was displeased when he heard Zhu Youxiang's words, and before he could open his mouth to reprimand, he preemptively said: "Big brother, what you said, second brother, I don't agree with it. Aren't you growing up others to destroy your own prestige? This throne should have been his father's, so what was wrong with him taking it back? Are you willing to watch the world laid down by the ancestors be destroyed in the hands of Zhu Youzhen? Besides, how can this be a plan to usurp the dynasty, the father is for the benefit of the common people in the world, so he has made every effort to go further, we as children have to understand the hardships of the father, and we can't help the father, nor can we drag him back. ”

Zhu Youxiang's face was awe-inspiring, and he looked at his strong brother Zhu Youqu with disdain, "If the name is not right, it will not be good!" ”

Zhu Youqu's face turned cold, "I see that you read too many Confucian books, and you read your head badly, right?" Has the elder brother forgotten how the Yongle Emperor ascended the throne? ”

Zhu Youhua was still pouring himself a drink, as if this incident had nothing to do with him at all.

Wang Haifeng looked at the two brothers who didn't let each other come and go with a smile, and felt that the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger, but he was not worried at all, because King Fu had to rely on Huang Liji behind him to contact the soldiers and horses for him. He wants fame and fortune, but if Zhu Youxiang, the eldest prince of King Fu, insists on being pedantic to the end, if he gets in his way, he will not hesitate to get rid of him.

King Fu's face became colder and colder, he was now just like his original father, Emperor Wanli, and he looked down on his eldest son Zhu Youxiang more and more, and his submissive appearance did not look like a person who could achieve great things at all, and he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "I, Zhu Changxun, am famous, how can I give birth to such an uncompetitive son." In order to hide people's eyes and ears, I have to pretend to be absurd in front of people, I have long had enough days of pretending to be crazy and stupid, and even Qu'er, who is a few years younger than you, can I see my thoughts, can't you see it at all? The reason why I am crazy about accumulating wealth is not for your petty considerations. Now that the wealth of our Fuwang Mansion is rivaled by the country, aren't you afraid that Zhu Youzhen will give you another cut domain? ”

Looking at the two brothers who were getting more and more noisy, King Fu couldn't help but scolded: "Shut up to this king, today is a banquet for distinguished guests, do you want to lose all the face of King Fu's mansion before you stop?" Ordinary people say that today's saints are doing their best for the people, but my blessed king Zhu Changxun is sitting back and enjoying his success, not to mention the fat land of Luoyang, and he also changes the law to steal the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. But is that really the case? If he really tried his best, how could he apportionment the salary three times or twice? How can there be thieves among the people? If it were the king of this Ming Dynasty, he would have left no pieces of armor for the wild boar skins in Houjin who cut melons and vegetables, and would have recuperated as soon as possible. They are all the blood of Taizu, and I am more noble than Zhu Changluo in terms of background, if this king comes to sit in this world, it will definitely not be a mess now. Go to the fuck to learn from the strengths of the don't take virtue, take virtue without taking talents. Xiang'er, don't say this again in the future, otherwise don't blame this king for not thinking about the relationship between father and son. After speaking, he slammed the dragon pattern jade cup worth a thousand gold in his hand to the ground.

The scene suddenly became awkward, and the dancers, singers, and musicians all retreated in fright, trembling on both sides, they had never seen King Fu lose such a temper.

Wang Haifeng didn't want their father and son to be too stiff, if King Fu succeeded, this Zhu Youxiang would be the prince, he might as well sell his personal favor now, and it would be more convenient to act in the future. He coughed and broke the silence first, "Ahem, the eldest prince is also sincere, but he loves his father with all his heart." By the way, just now I was drinking, there is a happy event Wang forgot to report to the Fu King, Huang Ge Lao asked me to bring a message to you, saying that he has contacted the ancestor of Liaodong General Zu Da Shou Zu, although his attitude is now a little wavering, but his brother-in-law Wu Xiangwu seems to be quite dissatisfied with the imperial court's punishment of Yuan Inspector, he has made it clear that he supports the great cause of Fu Wang and is willing to form a life and death alliance with us. And he is also willing to persuade General Zu to conspire with us for our great cause. ”

King Fu's face suddenly looked good, the unhappiness just now was swept away, compared to the throne, these noises in front of him were nothing, and he said in a good mood: "Good, good, good!" The envoy sent by the king to contact Mao Wenlong's old department in Dongjiang Town also sent good news in the past two days, saying that he had negotiated the conditions with Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, the "disciples of the three mines in Shandong", and was willing to help the king. And this king has already sent someone to recruit Yuan Chonghuan, it depends on whether he knows how to lift up. It seems that as long as time passes, great things can be done. ”

Wang Haifeng's two little eyes were rolling around, thinking in his heart that if King Fu had already contacted Mao Wenlong's old department, this matter would be more and more reliable, "Lord Wang, the people you recruited and contacted are all elite soldiers and strong generals from the nine sides, and with their help, this matter is nine out of ten." However, we still don't underestimate the power of the entire empire, and if this matter is not perfect, it is better not to leak a single rumor. lest the prince's years of planning be wasted and the achievements will fall short. ”

King Fu nodded, "Well, what Mr. said makes sense, although this king can deceive most people, there are still people in the court who suspect that this king has bad intentions, such as Huang Daozhou, who was sent to Lingbao County by the current saint to be a county leader, is one of them." From this point of view, Zhu Youzhen, the nephew of this king, is not completely wary of me, otherwise he would not have put such a nail under my nose. ”

Zhu Youxiang seemed to remember something important, and hurriedly got up and reminded: "Father, the son suddenly remembered that Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming seemed to have a close relationship with Houjin, and I heard rumors that they had secretly returned to Houjin. ”

King Fu was angry with the seven orifices, and looked at Zhu Youxiang in front of him with fire, eager to slap him a few big mouths, and scolded angrily: "You unfilial son shut up for me, go back to the room now to reflect, there is no Ming of this king, and the order is not allowed to take you half a step out of the room." I think Qu'er is right, you just read too many sage books and read your head badly. Is this king not as clever as you, and not as thoughtful as you? ”

Zhu Youqu's heart was dark for a while, and he gloated and looked at the sullen Zhu Youxiang out of the guest hall respectfully, clapped his hands to signal that the singing and dancing continued, raised his wine glass and exchanged glasses with Wang Haifeng, the power broker, and the atmosphere was a little warmer than just now.
