After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Kefa decided to give in for the time being, and he said in a thoughtful tone: "In this way, the student will first write a letter to Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, saying that the blessing of the domain is unattainable, and then make an appointment with this person to discuss face-to-face, what do you think?" ”
Ma Shiying is the governor of Fengyang, the world's premier governor, Fengyang is the place of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao is out of this, the achievement of the imperial industry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info with the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang was also designated as the capital, the importance of the status can be seen.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns of Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie, who guarded the central capital, were nominally controlled by Ma Shiying, so Ma Shiying's view of "establishing an heir" is more important.
"Well, so be it." Although Qian Qianyi is very eager to support it, but in the end, it depends on Shi Kefa, at present, Shi Kefa has obviously been moved, but he is still a little hesitant, which is quite annoying, he stood up at the moment and said coldly: "I hope that the neighbors will not delay, this is the first major thing in the world, it is very important!" ”
"Of course, the students will make this happen sooner rather than later."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
The people got up and said goodbye to each other.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Huai'an, in the back garden of the post house.
Zhu Youhua practiced martial arts in the back garden as usual, and since he crossed into this world, he practiced boxing whenever he had free time.
Boxing is the foundation of all martial arts. To be proficient in weapons, one must first be proficient in boxing. Not to mention anything else, a person who is proficient in boxing has particularly sensitive ears and eyes, and his reaction is far faster than ordinary people.
After years of diligent practice, Zhu Youhua's body is more symmetrical and strong, and the whole person is capable and heroic, especially the level of boxing has almost reached the point of perfection.
His footwork is flexible, and his hand-shaped arms are rigid and soft, elegant and agile; The whole body is as soft as boneless, and when the arms twist, it is really like a dragon swimming in the sky. Practicing boxing to such a level of dexterity and steadiness that it is no longer a problem to deal with five or six strong men with bare hands under normal circumstances.
After a while, Zhu Youhua stood still, and the waiter had already handed over the wet towel on the side, and after wiping off the sweat beads on his forehead, he handed the wet towel back to the waiter, and then strode towards the main hall.
In the main hall, Tian Cheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Youhua slowly walking inside, he hurriedly bowed down to greet him, Zhu Youhua waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”
After Zhu Youhua sat down, he took the teacup on the desk, took a sip lightly, and said, "How are things going, have the posts been sent to the heads of those commercial houses?" ”
Tian Cheng arched his hand and said, "The master Hongfu has been delivered." ”
Zhu Youhua nodded approvingly.
After Tian Chengyu finished reporting, he stood respectfully with his hands crossed.
Zhu Youhua got up and left his seat, and said, "Change into a crown dress for Gu and go to 'drunk supper'!" Remember, keep a few extra boxes of soap on hand. ”
"Yes."
Half an hour later, in the open space outside the post house, the prince's guard of honor has already been assembled, according to the Ming etiquette system, the prince's full set of honor guards has more than 1,000 people, there are dozens of people who carry flags and flags alone, and there are hundreds of people who carry the arrow guard and the halberd guard, and there are dozens of people who hold the golden spittoon and carry the golden chair and step on it.
Zhu Youhua only brought more than 100 government guards to act as a guard of honor, and was also responsible for accompanying the guards.
"Drunken Night" restaurant is not far from the governor's yamen in the Jiadi Lane, out of the post house, the team soon arrived at the door of the store, the shopkeeper of the drunken night has known in advance that His Royal Highness King Fu is here to feast on the major businessmen and predators in the city, has been waiting at the head of the door, seeing that the prince's guard of honor is really coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him, not caring about the dust on the ground, he took a dry of men, knelt in the middle of the road, kowtowed and said: "The grass people knock to see the prince Chitose, Chitose." ”
After a while, Zhu Youhua's gentle voice came from the car: "Let's all be flat." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
As he spoke, the curtain of the carriage at the front of the team opened, and Zhu Youhua on the car gently pushed away Tian Cheng, who was standing on the side and wanted to step forward to help, stepped on the wooden couch, and walked off the carriage alone.
Today, he deliberately wore a vermilion dragon robe, wearing a black gauze wing crown, a jade belt around his waist, and the whole person looked quite noble and magnificent, coupled with a straight figure, a straight nose bridge, a delicate and dignified face and bright eyes, he looked more and more heroic.
It has been ten years since he came to Daming unconsciously, and after ten years of wind and rain experience, his face no longer has the sense of confusion and helplessness when he first crossed, but it is replaced by a confident and calm face, as well as the unique atmosphere of the aggressive superior hidden in the depths of his eyes.
After Zhu Youhua got off the sedan chair, a waiter in the store hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Back to the master, the directors of the major commercial houses in the city have almost arrived." ”
Zhu Youhua nodded, then got up and went first, and Tian Cheng quickly followed.
"They are all waiting in the private room of the Juxian Pavilion on the second floor." The shopkeeper laughed with him and led the way: "The prince is here, please, the prince please raise his feet, and the prince will go upstairs slowly." ”
The guys in the store don't dare to slack off, the cooking is cooking, and the cleaning is cleaning.
Tian Cheng, who was accompanying him, gave a look, and the guards hurriedly followed, and investigated the inside and outside of the restaurant, up and down, to prevent thieves from ambushing.
When Zhu Youhua entered Juxian Pavilion, the chief shopkeepers of several major commercial houses in Huai'an City were waiting here.
Zhu Youhua, as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, the cousin of the Son of Heaven, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, even if he does not have any real power, the degree of nobility is not comparable to these merchants who are at the end of the four people, don't look at these merchants who rely on wealth in front of the people on weekdays, I am afraid that there is no room to sit in front of the vassal king.
Everyone was still whispering, guessing what the prince wanted to do for no reason, but when they saw that the protagonist had arrived, they hurriedly closed their mouths and knelt on the ground, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Zhu Youhua walked into the main seat of the main hall, did it with a butt, and then swept around the crowd with his eyes before he opened his mouth and shouted.
"Lone invited you to come here for today's banquet, there is nothing else, I just want to send you a rich and noble life."
"Huh?" Hearing this, the businessmen looked at each other in confusion, and they all wanted to see something in each other's eyes.
Zhu Youhua saw the reactions of these people, he cleared his throat and explained slightly: "You don't have to doubt, originally, this rich Gu wanted to get it by himself, but because of the ancestral system, he could only give up, because this wealth involved business, so Gu thought of you." ”
When the directors of the commercial houses present heard this, they understood what Zhu Youhua meant, and they whispered in private.
After a while, an old man in his fifties walked out of the crowd, he bowed, trembled with a gray beard and said, "I don't know what the so-called wealth of the prince is, can you explain the confusion of the grass people to me?" ”
"No problem." Zhu Youhua clapped his hands, and suddenly several attendants entered the private room in turn, all of them dragging a black lacquer tray in their hands, and each tray contained five or six delicate rosewood boxes.
"Take a box for each of you."
Although the merchants' hearts were full of doubts and incomprehension, they still did what they said, and each took a box from the tray of the waiter.
