Chapter 57 Lao Zhu fights the autumn wind
Zhu Ao is not much interested in this, his temper is the same as that of Lao Zhu, has always been pragmatic, in his opinion, these flowers and plants, do not eat or drink, like poetry and songs, just the embellishment of life, dispensable, it is better to play a few more stones of food, make a few more pairs of armor Actually.
However, there is no way, my wife likes it, and he can't ruin the princess's interest, after all, this princess has given him a lot of help.
However, at this moment, Huai En hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "Lord Qiqi, princess, there is someone in the palace, and I want the prince to go to the hall to receive the order." ”
Zhu Ao and Sun Yunqi looked at each other, what is Lao Zhu's will at this time, isn't he going to fight the autumn wind? Sun Yunqi nodded to Zhu Ao. Zhu Ao put his hand in his hand and said to Huaien: "Let the messenger wait in the front hall, don't slack off." The king went to change his clothes, and he came at once. ”
Wynne still bowed and said without moving, "Yes." The slave and the maid obeyed. With that, slowly withdraw.
Zhu Ao glanced at his beloved wife, took her hand, and said, "Is this a blessing or a curse?" What do you think of Concubine Ai? ”
Sun Yunqi pinched a small flower casually, put it to his nose and smelled it, and showed a very enjoyable expression, saying: "Fortune and misfortune are lurking, and misfortune and fortune are leaning on." Fortune and misfortune can be exchanged with each other, the key depends on what the prince does. ”
Zhu Ao thought so, to be honest, after becoming a parent, he felt a lot more relaxed, because after having something to discuss, he felt very down-to-earth in his heart, and said: "Then the king will go to meet the messenger for a while, and ask the concubine to press the battle for me." ”
Sun Yunqi tidied up Zhu Ao's clothes and said, "Go to the prince." The concubine is waiting in the back hall, the prince has made a performance that shocked the world this time, presumably the father will not be embarrassed for the prince. ”
Zhu Ao smiled and nodded, took his beloved wife's hand, returned to the dormitory, and under the service of Tingwei and Yinhe, put on the court clothes, and then came to the front hall of the palace with Sun Yunqi to receive the order.
Zhu Ao walked straight to the front hall, while Sun Yunqi hid behind the screen to secretly observe the situation. The eunuch who delivered the decree was drinking tea, and when he saw Zhu Ao coming, he immediately put down the teacup, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "The slave and maid knock to see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”
Zhu Ao raised his hand to help him, and said, "You are the emperor's messenger, you don't have to be so polite, get up and announce the decree." Then he said to Wynne behind him: "Go and set up an incense case, and this king will receive the order." ”
Huai En bowed in response, and waved his hand at the two little eunuchs at the door, they had already finished the incense case for receiving the order, and after seeing Huai'en's gesture, he immediately lifted the incense case up and placed it in the middle of the hall.
Zhu Ao personally lit three sticks of incense, and then knelt in front of the incense case, waiting for the eunuch to announce the decree. The eunuch took out the holy decree, unfolded it in front of him, and sang: "Fengtian carries the emperor, summons and says: The fourteenth son of the emperor, Su Wang Ao, is familiar with the changes of the times, has the courage to do things, and takes the domain for one year, that is, millions of acres of fertile land are cultivated, and tens of millions of stones of grain are harvested, and I am very relieved." However, the founding of the national dynasty, the people's strength withered, the northern captives invaded the border, and the border army consumed a lot of grain and grass. In order to save the people's power and save the people from the suffering of transfer, Su Wang was specially ordered to give out 3 million stone of grain for military needs. If King Su can perceive my good intentions, then I will not be carefree. ”
Zhu Ao knelt on the ground, the more he listened, the more ugly his face became, and the last heroic face turned iron blue, he didn't know if this was Zhu Yuanzhang's idea or Zhu Yunwen's idea. Mom sold the batch, when Lao Tzu was changing the law, you did everything you could to obstruct it, and you didn't give any support except for the slaves who were agreed in advance.
Now Lao Tzu has finally carried the pressure from all sides, risked the mutiny, and completed the matter, and you will take 30% when you come up. Zhu Ao was secretly glad that he had let Lan Youcheng revise the accounts, otherwise they would definitely want more. You must know that the total amount of grain in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty was 2.76 million stones, 1.64 million stones of grain for the people, and 2.4 million stones for the grain transported by Cao. The imperial court let itself pay 3 million stone at once, which is equivalent to paying 75% of the grain transportation for itself, and let a small Su vassal feed a million troops for the imperial court.
The eunuch had already finished announcing the holy decree, and when he saw Zhu Ao lying on the ground for a long time, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he cautiously reminded: "Lord, please accept the decree." ”
Zhu Ao's face was like ashes, and he was still lying on the ground motionless. The eunuch who announced the decree was very puzzled, and repeated what he had just said. Knowing that the husband is not a wife, Sun Yunqi knew what Zhu Ao was thinking, and coughed behind the screen.
After Zhu Ao heard Sun Yunqi's cough, he suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head, and said without a trace of anger: "Erchen commands, long live my father, long live!" ”
Then he stood up and went to receive the decree from the eunuch. When the eunuch saw Zhu Ao's bloodless face, he was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Wang, Wangye, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhu Ao raised his eyes and glanced at the young eunuch, and said slowly: "It's okay, this king suffered some cold last night. You stand down. ”
The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "The prince takes care of his body, and the slave and maid retire." Then, under the guidance of the little eunuch outside the door, he went back to the post station to rest.
Seeing that the eunuch walked away, Sun Yunqi flashed out of the screen, and when he saw Zhu Ao's miserable face, he was startled, and hurriedly held Zhu Ao, and asked with concern: "Lord, it doesn't matter to you, don't scare the concubines." ”
Zhu Ao trembled with anger, and said with hatred: "This king has worked hard for a year to collect 10 million stones, and the rations paid to military households, people, and prisoners can only get 3 million stones a year, how much is left?" Why do they take half of it as soon as they reach out? ”
Sun Yunqi knew that Zhu Ao was very excited at this time, afraid that he would say something taboo on the spur of the moment, so he hurriedly stroked his chest a few times with his hand, helped him dissipate his anger, and said: "Don't be angry, this is not the place to talk, please come to the dormitory with your concubine." With that, he took Zhu Hao's arm and walked inside.
Zhu Ao also calmed down, there were many people here, and he couldn't figure out that the loyal servant was Jinyiwei, and it was too dangerous to talk about confidential matters here, so he said: "Concubine Ai is reasonable." Then he said to Wynne, "Go and spread out all the idle people around the king's bedchamber, and no one shall come near him within twenty paces." ”
Huaien knew that Zhu Ao was angry, and at this time, he would be scolded for being scolded, so he immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave obeys the order." Then he immediately retreated, quickly sent all the palace maids and eunuchs around Zhu Ao's dormitory, and sent people to stand guard twenty steps away.
