Zhu Changxun arranged a banquet, and Su Tiancheng and Liu Zongzhou naturally had no choice but to leave.

There was still a while before the meal, and Zhu Changxun arranged for a housekeeper to accompany Su Tiancheng and Liu Zongzhou in the wing room for a while, saying that he had something to do, so he delayed it for a while, and then went out with Zhu Youxiang.

Su Tiancheng knew that Zhu Changxun must have told Zhu Youxiang about today's incident.

Because they were accompanied by a housekeeper, Su Tiancheng and Liu Zongzhou didn't say much.

But in a quarter of an hour, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youxiang appeared in the wing room again, this time, Liu Zongzhou accompanied Zhu Changxun and stayed in the wing room to explain, Su Tiancheng and Zhu Youxiang went out to take a look.

Su Tiancheng really wanted to get in touch with Zhu Youxiang.

Zhu Youxiang in history, described as a stupid pig, greedy and lustful, didn't understand anything, was the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty for a year, and was later captured and killed alive, it can be said that his fame even surpassed his father Zhu Changxun.

Su Tiancheng has long been uninterested in the description of history, he has always believed that those who write history always describe the vassal king as a pig-like task, and it is estimated that these people who write history are pig brains, even if they are vassal kings, but people have received a lot of education, no matter what, the level of knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people. A person who writes history can have his own prejudices and serve a certain dynasty, but he cannot distort the least history.

In this era of the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of ordinary people were illiterate, illiterate and did not read, and regarded the scholars as heavenly immortals.

Soon, Su Tiancheng and Zhu Youxiang walked to the back garden.

The mansion is indeed huge. In Luoyang County, such a large mansion is estimated to be the only one, that is, the mansion, and there is no such a large area.

"Master Su has not been in Henan Mansion for a long time, and Henan Mansion has undergone such a huge change. I admire it. ”

"Xie Lu Xie Xiao Wangye's praise, Xia Guan has been in Henan Mansion for less than a year, and he hasn't done much, and he is also lacking in strength, so he said that he came to the mansion today and asked His Royal Highness King Fu to raise donations, which was also a last resort."

"Master Su is too polite, my father donated silver, which is as it should be. Father's fiefdom is in Luoyang, and he must make efforts for the development of Henan Province, and his father has always been very concerned about the people of Henan Province, and every year he takes out some silver taels and grain to relieve the people, but this year he does not need to take it out. ”

Su Tiancheng casually looked at Zhu Youxiang.

Zhu Youxiang's face. His expression was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

This vassal king who later served as Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty for a year. It is indeed not simple, speaking politely and politely, quite like the tone of the ministers of the court, it seems that it is not easy to ascend to the throne of the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty when the competition is extremely fierce.

"His Royal Highness King Fu and the little prince can think like this. It is the blessing of the people of Henan Province, and it is the blessing of the lower officials. ”

"Oh, what does Master Su mean, is it rare for my father to do this?"

Su Tiancheng paused for a moment. I can't imagine such a language disease, I was actually caught by Zhu Youxiang, it seems that this little prince is not easy to deal with, and he still needs to be careful in the future, can it be said that he is distressed about the 100,000 taels of silver he donated, and he wants to find trouble for himself.

"There is nothing strange about the lower officials saying this, the vassal kings of various places are not allowed to participate in politics, although they each have their own fiefdoms, they are just a place to live, since they can't interfere in politics, local things, and they don't need to care, that's a matter for the court and the government to consider, the vassal kings don't interfere and don't contribute, it can't be said to be wrong."

"Lord Su, it's the first time I've heard such a statement, is it reasonable, I don't dare to comment, if Lord Su is interested, can you continue to talk about your understanding."

Some words are not easy to say in depth, I can't imagine that Zhu Youxiang is not taboo, after all, the two are meeting for the first time, besides, in the mansion of the vassal king, I don't know how many Jinyi guards and Dongchang internal guards there are, if you are not careful, some important words will be transmitted to the court, that is, the emperor wants to be partial, and it is estimated that the minister will not agree.

At this moment, Su Tiancheng's opinion of Zhu Youxiang has some good points, the descendants of the vassal kings, including the vassal kings themselves, are by no means fools, they are all very shrewd, it may be for this reason that the emperor and the ministers in the court are desperate to guard against the vassal kings everywhere, doing so has certain benefits, avoiding cannibalism for the emperor's throne, but in this way, it also restricts the development of royal talents, and being born in the royal family is not necessarily a good thing.

As for history, it is said that the blessed king Zhu Changxun guarded the family wealth, and even Luoyang City was about to be breached, so he was unwilling to take out the silver to encourage morale, such a thing, regardless of whether it was true or false, at least Su Tiancheng didn't believe it.

"The little prince cares about a lot of things."

"Hehe, if Master Su has such an understanding, then it can be regarded as a lot of things I care about."

Su Tiancheng was a little speechless, why is Zhu Youxiang so direct.

"Little prince, there are some things, the lower officials think, it's better to pay attention to them."

"I know that I have always paid attention to this, and I have been paying attention to it for more than 20 years, and I have been listening to it every day, and now I have a calloon in my ears."

"What the little prince said is really interesting, as a relative of the emperor and the country, your status is noble, pay attention, it is also right."

Zhu Youxiang turned his head, looked at Su Tiancheng, and spoke word by word.

"Master Su, are you afraid, if you are afraid, you don't need to say anything."

Su Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, he didn't know what Zhu Youxiang would say in front of him, saying so many taboo words, these conversations, if the emperor knew about it, there would definitely be a storm.

"What's so terrible about the lower officials, the little prince is too careful, but the lower officials feel that there are some rules in the imperial court, whether they are suitable or not, they must be followed, if you accidentally touch the taboo, the consequences may not be very good."

"Master Su, this is the back garden, there are only you and me, can it be said that the dialogue between us, the emperor and the ministers of the court will know the Tao, if so, then I really don't dare to say anything."

Su Tiancheng's brother-in-law is Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, and when facing the vassal king, he does not have so many taboos, plus some understandings that are different from this era, so when he comes into contact with the vassal king, he is straightforward.

No matter what Zhu Youxiang thinks, it is already very good to be able to say these words in front of him, as for the reason inside, Su Tiancheng faintly guessed something.

"The little prince said with a smile, the lower officials have their own principles of being a man, people respect me for a foot, I respect people for a zhang, His Royal Highness King Fu donated 100,000 taels of silver for dredging the Yellow River, this kind of arrogance, not anyone can do it, the lower officials know it."

"Master Su mentioned this matter, and I was having some questions, is it true that Jiangning Ying cleaned up business matters."

"Really."

"No one is the exception?"

"Equal treatment."

"If I wanted to be able to get some care, wouldn't I be able to do it?"

"This subordinate can be considered, but these things cannot be made public for the time being."

"What if I must want to be taken care of?"

"Xia Guan thinks that His Royal Highness King Fu and the little prince are not such people and will not do such a thing."

"That's not necessarily, you just said, the vassal king can't do politics, since he can't do politics, it's always okay to make money, if you can't do anything, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Little prince, there are some things that the lower officials can say, or do, the rules of the court are not formed overnight, and they have lasted for many years, but these rules are also set by people, not eternal, things are always developing, what will happen in the future, who can say clearly."

Zhu Youxiang's eyes shot out of the essence.

Su Tiancheng did not evade, and looked at Zhu Youxiang with a smile.

"Master Su, can't you say such things casually."

"If the little prince thinks that the lower officials say it casually, then they say it casually."

"Ha Luha, refreshing, Master Su, you are a friend, I have made up my mind, if there is anything in the government in the future that needs to be done by my father, you just have to say it, I will try my best to persuade my father to do it."

"So thank you for the little prince, I also have a saying, everything is changing, some rules, the continuation of the time is too long, and it also needs to be changed, maybe it is not something that can be achieved overnight, but as long as you are patient, there will always be a light of day."

"Okay, for the sake of Lord Su's words, I will take another 100,000 taels of silver to dredge the Yellow River."

After some conversation, Su Tiancheng's views completely changed.

Zhu Youxiang is a talent, a good talent, whether he has the ability to govern or not, at least in terms of understanding, he is extraordinary, and this person is decisive in doing things, sees things accurately, dares to start, and will not have the slightest hesitation.

Zhu Youxiang is close to himself, and he must have a purpose, but in this world, who does things without a purpose, as long as they can respect each other and support each other, this is a good thing.

Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youxiang, both of them are good, they took out 200,000 taels of silver to dredge the Yellow River, on the surface, this matter is a loss, in fact, he and Henan Mansion already owe King Fu a favor, such a favor is not something that can be repaid casually.

During the meal, Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youxiang both participated.

After Liu Zongzhou learned that King Fu was going to take out 200,000 taels of silver to dredge the Yellow River and would vigorously support the Zhongxing Society, he was extremely happy and took the initiative to toast Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youxiang.

Su Tiancheng faintly felt a trace of worry.

Zhu Youxiang is so high-profile, isn't he worried about the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang internal guards in the house, or maybe he believes in Liu Zongzhou and himself too much, and even forgets to be cautious.

Or that Zhu Youxiang has been suppressed for too long, and he is a little out of breath, and he needs to be smooth. (To be continued......)
