On the 22nd day of the first month, the kings of the clan left Beijing, and Zhu Zhanji got Zhu Di's permission to see off the kings on behalf of the royal family together with Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochu stayed in the capital for another month, and now he was forced to leave Beijing by Zhu Di, and sent an internal supervisor headed by Wang Yan to personally escort Zhu Gaochu out of Beijing.

One of the eunuchs had to escort the Han King all the way to Qingzhou before he could return. Those inner prisoners all regarded this business trip as a chore, and for several days in a row, the atmosphere in the palace was very low.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, it was the day when the king of Han left Beijing. Zhu Gaochi's foot disease recurred and he could not make the trip, so only Zhu Zhanji took the place of his grandfather and father to send him out of Beijing.

Zhu Zhanji is also not sure whether his father is unwilling to send this younger brother, or whether he really has a recurrence of his foot disease.

On the 26th, that is, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhu Zhan appeared in the Han Palace.

If you come too early, I am afraid that you will be sarcastically ridiculed by the King of Han and can't wait for him to leave Beijing, and if you come too late, it will make Zhu Di think that he doesn't take this matter to heart.

Hanwang's luggage had been loaded on the ship a few days earlier, so there was no scene of confusion.

When Zhu Zhanji arrived, he found that King Zhao's guard of honor also stopped in front of the Han Palace.

One of them is in Shandong, the other is in Hebei, and they will have a long way to go together when they leave Beijing at the same time, so King Zhao has already asked King Han to leave Beijing together.

Introduced into the side hall of the carrier hall by the inner attendant, I saw the king of Han and the king of Zhao sitting in front of the hall, and the rest of the people waited around the service, and the hall was not charcoal burned today, so it was a little cold.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji come in, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, stood up with a smile, and said with some stammer: "I know that you should come when I look at the time." Uncle Wang traveled thousands of miles, and his business in Ningbo was also expected to be taken care of by Zhanji. ”

"The nephew should be careful about this matter, and when the emperor's grandfather re-determines the rules and regulations of the clan, Uncle Wang will not have to hide it from people like now."

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the law was strict, and the clan was divided into feuds but not tin soil, the lords were not close to the people, the food was not governed by affairs, and they were not allowed to participate in the business of the four people (that is, Shinong industry and commerce).

In addition, even the ministers and nobles were not allowed to do business and work, and the class of all people was clearly divided.

However, the income of the official is too low, and the salary of a county commander is not as high as that of a skilled silk worker in Suzhou. Therefore, during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, no matter how strict the law was, there were countless officials who went to corruption one after another.

Especially the Beijing officials, they can't be corrupt, because they are not corrupt, and they can't even live because of their personal contacts.

By the time of Jianwen, the income of officials had increased, especially the relaxation of many policies, and many consignees were born.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he changed this policy back to strict officials in business. He even greatly increased the level of officials for this, but he still met with many objections and accusations.

When Zheng He returned from the Western Ocean for the first time, Zhu Di also relaxed the control of merchants under the pressure of the court and the high interests of foreign trade, and allowed coastal merchants to do business with the fleet from then on.

However, as a result, internal supervisors began to charge high "protection fees".

Of course, the protection fee is just a term, the real name is tariff, and all merchants who follow Zheng He's fleet to do business, assessed by the value of the goods shipped, a ship charges a tariff equivalent to half of the total value.

This may seem like a high tariff, but it is still very cost-effective for merchants. Because Daming's commodities are in demand no matter which country they are in, a premium of several times is a normal income.

And when their cargo ships returned to the Ming Dynasty, they would bring back many commodities that the Ming Dynasty did not have, such as rosewood, spices, and gold and silver from the South Seas.

In the past, merchants always liked to bring goods back. However, since the ninth year of Yongle, the internal supervision began to collect tariffs on foreign goods, and the duty-free gold, silver and copper became the favorite commodities for all merchants to bring back.

Now, many merchants along the coast have gradually become maritime trading families, and their family properties have swelled dramatically.

They don't know that Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji are still raising pigs, and when they get fat, they will naturally carry out a new round of pig killing.

Although Zhu Zhanji has now proposed to protect his legal property, he has long thought about how to kill pigs justifiably.

When the riverside hydro industrial zone is completed and the first generation of hydraulic stamping machines are successfully manufactured, Daming will directly change from today's chaotic gold and silver exchange policy to a standardized gold and silver coin fixed exchange rate era.

At that time, all gold and silver had to be handed over, and it was strictly forbidden for everyone to mint coins, and it was also strictly forbidden to trade gold and silver in a piecemeal.

Zhu Gaosui is still very polite to Zhu Zhanji now, but when he has to hand over the money he earns honestly in the future, he doesn't know what his attitude will be towards Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing Zhu Gaosui's stammering to Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu snorted unhappily, and said in a somewhat weird manner: "What? I'm afraid that I won't leave, so I specially sent you to supervise me! ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Uncle Han's words are wrong, the vassal king is a court law, as a nephew, but he would rather stay together forever as a family and harmony." ”

He sneered: "I'm just afraid that I can't say it sincerely!" ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "If Uncle Han is willing to resign from the throne of Han Wang, my nephew will definitely stay in Uncle Han to spend his days in the capital." ”

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and took a few steps towards Zhu Zhanji, and the two uncles and nephews faced each other. "It's really hidden deep enough, I thought it was just an unweaned puppy, but it was a fierce wolf."

With Zhu Gaoxu's forces, it is not difficult to find out about this matter. There is no even need for evidence in this matter, just look at who is the biggest vested interest, and you will know whose handiwork.

In the two months since this incident happened, the prince has been depressed, but Zhu Zhanji is proud. If Zhu Gaoxu didn't know that it was Zhu Zhanji's handwriting, it would be too stupid.

Zhu Zhanji did not answer directly, but looked at Wang Yan, who was standing on the side, and asked, "Eunuch Wang, is the King of Han ready?" ”

Wang Yan replied respectfully, "Just wait for His Royal Highness the King of Han to give the order." ”

Only then did Zhu Zhanji turn around and say: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, and my nephew wishes the two uncles a smooth journey and good luck." ”

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhanji's shirt, and said fiercely: "Thirty years in Hedong, forty years in Hexi, boy, don't be too proud." ”

Zhu Zhanji grabbed his hand, but he still smiled and said, "Uncle Hanwang, you have lost your temper." ”

In terms of strength, the two of them were about the same, but Zhu Zhanji took the initiative to exert force, pinched his hand joint, and then let him let go of his hand painfully.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu let go of his hand, Zhu Zhanji also let go of his hand and said with a smile: "It's not too early, let my nephew send the two uncles to board the ship." ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the handprint that was pinched out on the back of his hand, and he was furious. In addition, as an uncle, as a Han king who is known for his bravery, he actually suffered a big loss at this time.

His reason disappeared completely, and he raised his fist and hit Zhu Zhanji in the face. "This is the etiquette of your grandson...... you......"

After all, he was not completely stupid, he only cursed two words, and swallowed the rest of the words.

Zhu Zhanji took a step back, and as soon as his body was short, he dodged his punch. He is here to see him off today, no matter how many grievances there are, he can't do anything to King Han today.

Otherwise, if you beat your uncle with your nephew, no matter how reasonable it is, it will become unreasonable. What's more, as a winner, there is no need to be aggressive here.

Zhu Gaoxu punched the air in front of him, and actually rushed two more steps and continued to swing his fist. is leaving the capital today, and he seems to want to take this opportunity to take revenge and revenge.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes saw that Wang Yan had already pounced, so he didn't fight back, continued to retreat, hid at the door, and his foot kicked the threshold of half a meter, turned over, and flew up and landed behind Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu threw himself into the air and stood at the door, twisting his body to look at Zhu Zhanji behind him.

At this time, Wang Yan had already run over and stopped between the two of them. "His Royal Highness the King of Han, enough, do you want to make the emperor angry?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned around, gasped and said, "You also heard it, he is framing me, and I want to avenge my father!" ”

Wang Yan originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of occasion, but seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was so stupid, he couldn't help but say: "Does His Royal Highness the King of Han really think that His Majesty doesn't know anything?" What can be hidden from His Majesty's ears and eyes? ”

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment and asked loudly, "Then why ......?"

Zhu Zhanji still smiled harmoniously at this time: "Framed, who can frame a prince?" Who can frame the descendants of the Zhu family? Didn't Wang Lian's wife be tortured and killed by you? Didn't the merchants of Jiujiang Mansion be robbed of their property by you, chopped into pieces and thrown into the river? ”

"Then it's not your turn to make irresponsible ......."

He also wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Wang Yan. "Lord Wang, you can settle down!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Zhanji, who had been smiling hippie, and then looked at Wang Yan, who had a serious face, and the anger in his heart was too great. But he suppressed his anger and looked at Zhu Zhanji and smiled gloomily. "Start...... Leave Beijing! ”

Wang Yan also raised his hand, and several eunuchs shouted at the same time. "King Han, King Zhao, His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, the guard of honor is ready to ......"

As soon as the order was given, the front and back yards of the Han Wang's Mansion were boiling, and the ladies who had been prepared for a long time boarded the carriage one by one, and most of the men accompanied them on horseback.

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu kept looking at Zhu Zhanji gloomily from Wang Yan and others, if it was possible, he was afraid that he would want Zhu Zhanji to die directly.

But Zhu Zhanji is still alive and well, and he is still in a happy mood.

He did it on purpose, he wanted to deliberately stimulate Zhu Gaoxu, if he went to the fiefdom and really became honest, it would be meaningless.

If he wanted to seize power, he actively raised troops in the fiefdom, and even sent people to the capital to attack him, it would be in line with Zhu Zhanji's style of rushing to kill everything.

If you don't push the other party into a corner, it can't show that his nephew has been fighting back passively, which will have a big impact on his reputation.

If he didn't dare to send someone to assassinate him, would he want to direct and act out an assassination show by himself?
