For several days in a row, Hou Guoxing was like commuting in his previous life, letting the carriage take to the palace in the morning and returning to the Hou Mansion in the evening, which made Hou Guoxing tired. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhu Youxiao is like a fascination, today he took out a sofa from Hou Guoxing's mind, and tomorrow he took out a modern building from Hou Guoxing's mind. The same made Zhu Youxiao stunned.

In the process of studying woodware, Zhu Youxiao also told Hou Guoxing an interesting story, Hou Guoxing made a honeycomb coal stove, and now in the palace let the palaces be a treasure to snatch around, this thing is directly sealed when not in use, saving the eunuchs and palace maids often boil water in the middle of the night, the most important thing is that this thing ignites, more convenient than the fire fold, and now he is called the stove! At that time, Hou Guoxing was only dumbfounded, he really didn't think that the honeycomb coal stove also had the function of replacing the fire fold to start the fire!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Early in the morning, Hou Guoxing was invited to a side hall full of instruments and tools in the Qianqing Palace on time.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had not yet left the court, and Hou Guoxing was bored in the Qianqing Palace and looked at the group of palace maids around him who were like flowers and jade, secretly throwing flattering eyes at him, and he was depressed for a while.

Originally, a few days ago, Hou Guoxing felt that he was charming, and he didn't want to send it to the door in vain, flirting with this group of palace maids, and hooking up. Later, Wang Anming secretly reminded him a few times, and Hou Guoxing realized that it was not because he was charming, but because he was too hungry. Even if people are not hungry and thirsty, they can't touch it, and if they do, they will cause trouble in the palace and kill their heads.

Feelings: These women are poisonous poppies, which can be seen but not touched. Thinking of this, Hou Guoxing closed his eyes with difficulty. Silently reciting coloring is emptiness, emptiness is color! So that you can do it in the middle of all flowers, and not a single leaf will be touched.

After resisting for a long time, Zhu Youxiao has not come over, Hou Guoxing thought to himself that this little Zhengtai treats his brother as an escort, eats with him, plays with him, and accompanies him to do carpenter work. Keep waiting in advance, waiting for luck, and what's even more hateful is not giving money for selling yourself. The promised gold taels and the seal have not been fulfilled yet.

"It's too much, it's too much. Is this world my after all? Just when Hou Guoxing was secretly slandering in his heart, Zhu Youxiao's voice came.

It's too much, and the money that is said to be good...... Pliers just can't be made. Hou Guoxing almost smoothed out Zhu Youxiao's words that he didn't give money, and when he looked back, he found that it was Zhu Youxiao, so he hurriedly got up, pretended to be depressed, and greeted him.

Zhu Youxiao had just come down from the court meeting at this time, and came directly from Fengtian Palace, and the whole person was angry, waving his hand, signaling the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to leave. Listening to what Hou Guoxing said, he came over and asked:

"Big brother, but what rare things have come up with?"

"Oh! It's just a gadget. Hou Guoxing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned the topic aside and asked:

"Why is the emperor so angry?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's emotions that had just eased up erupted again and said angrily:

"Who else could it be, isn't it that group of ministers. Yesterday, I issued a decree that Jin Fengke's mother is Mrs. Fengsheng, and you are a thousand households in Jinyi. I knew that the cabinet would dare to give me back.

Big brother, what the hell do you say is wrong with these people? When I ascended the throne, they were all promoted to knighthood one by one, why are they so opposed to me promoting you to an official?

What's even more infuriating is that I am ready to take my mother to the palace to raise, who knows what these people actually say that I am an adult, and my mother is not suitable to live in the harem......"

Hou Guoxing was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, why is it so difficult to be an official? said that he had meat to eat with the emperor, and he couldn't even drink soup after following Zhu Youxiao for almost a month.

But it's a good idea to let Kebaba leave the palace, and now he is a brother to this kid, if it's really as the gossip said, his nominal mother got together with him, then won't this kid become his nominal godfather?

I thought so much in my heart, but I couldn't say it clearly, so I could only laugh and say:

"Actually, there is some truth in these ministers, after all, the emperor rules all the people, and he can't do anything rashly. If we damage the emperor's reputation because of us, it will not be good. ”

Hearing Hou Guoxing's comfort, Zhu Youxiao, who was originally angry, had a trace of warmth in his heart, and was about to apologize for the failure of the reward, Hou Guoxing walked to the newly finished sofa on the side, stretched his waist, sat down and said with a smile:

"I don't care if this official is inappropriate, but when will you give me the 10,000 taels of gold you said last time?"

The emotion on Zhu Youxiao's face had not yet dissipated, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned into a pig brother. Seeing the smug look on Hou Guoxing's face, knowing that Hou Guoxing deliberately teased himself, he thought about it and said;

"That! That big brother, you look at the money or forget it, my brother knows that you are high-spirited, and he won't embarrass me for this little money."

Zhu Youxiao and Hou Guoxing have been together for a long time, and their originally cold and withdrawn temperament has actually improved, and they ridiculed Hou Guoxing after learning from Hou Guoxing's appearance.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao actually dared to play tricks with himself and wanted to lose his 10,000 taels of gold, Hou Guoxing hurriedly said:

"I have an eighty-year-old mother to raise in this family, and a three-year-old doll to feed, how can I forget it!. After speaking, he sighed and said:

"You said that in order to help you make a stove, I even owe me the maid's money, right?"

Cough... Cough... Cough...

Zhu Youxiao, this kid has been growing up in the deep palace, where he has encountered this kind of tricks, which made Lei delicate and tender on the outside for a while, and hurriedly surrendered and said:

"This... This big brother, do you think this can be less? Brother, I'm dying of poverty now? ”

"Poor! You're the Emperor! Are you still poor? Hou Guoxing now thinks that he is not wrong Zhu Youxiao, and he feels that this guy is an iron rooster.

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao, who was still in good spirits, walked to Hou Guoxing's sofa and sat down, picked up a model of a modern building, and carved it fiercely.

It turned out that Hou Guoxing and Zhu Youxiao designed a palace combining Chinese and Western together two days ago, and the more Zhu Youxiao looked at it, the more he liked it. At the time of the court meeting, he proposed that he hoped that the household department would pay for him to build a palace.

As soon as he spoke, the household servant knelt down and shed tears, saying that the household department had no money, that the hundred officials had not been paid for half a year, and that the salaries of the armies on the nine sides still owed a lot. There were 100,000 taels of silver left in the household.

Then Yang Lian came out of the ranks, knelt in front of the palace and cried that the people were not living, and the country had been in trouble for a long time. The first emperor abolished the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and rewarded the border army with his own treasury, seeing that the country's prosperity was coming, but it was a pity that the heavens were jealous of the talented and suffered from treachery. The emperor should follow the example of the first emperor, save and reduce, rest with the people, and not hurt the public opinion because of a palace. also told Zhu Youxiao the allusion of why he didn't eat minced meat, and insinuated that Zhu Youxiao was a faint gentleman.

Seeing the surging emotions of the ministers, Zhu Youxiao wanted to sit down. Knowing Liu Yixiao, Zuo Guangdou and others also echoed Yang Lian, telling Zhu Youxiao what kind of pro-gentleman and far villain, let Zhu Youxiao read more sage books. In the end, the civil officials of the Hanlin Academy were directly arranged in the court to give Zhu Youxiao a daily lecture. But Ling Zhu didn't finish the courtyard of the school, but he got a few teachers from the Hanlin Academy for himself, and he retired directly from the court in a fit of anger.

Hou Guoxing was speechless for a while, thinking that this kid was too good at, and he didn't want to give money, so he actually pulled out so many reasons. Those ministers are all loyal ministers who have left their names in history, how can they be so rude. Listening to this statement, you will be fooled by the emperor as illiterate. You kid doesn't want to give money, so it's a more reliable reason!

At this time, Zhu Youxiao put down the model in his hand and said apologetically to Hou Guoxing:

Big brother, it's really not that the brothers don't give it, it's really not so much. The brother originally wanted to give it directly to the eldest brother from the inner library, but how do you know that Wang An checked it, and now the inner library is only 800,000 taels of silver, this huge palace, you also need to leave some money for backup, don't you, you see... Can it be less?

This Zhu Youxiao, as an emperor, bargained with Hou Guoxing for a little silver, and he couldn't wipe his face for a while, and he spoke heavily.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's spitting, Hou Guoxing didn't believe it even more, and said:

"Emperor, if you don't want to give it, I'm not reluctant to be an elder brother, why bother saying this cold, I haven't lost your identity as an emperor. Don't think it's easy to deceive me if I read less, although I don't read much of the so-called sage books, but I think this arithmetic is second, and no one dares to call it the first. ”

Speaking of which, Hou Guoxing shamelessly calculated the treasury of the Ming Dynasty for Zhu Youxiao for his 10,000 taels of gold. In fact, the reason is very simple, Hou Guoxing took the population base of about 80 million during the Apocalypse, not to mention commercial taxes and others, and calculated it with one tael of silver per capita, and came to the conclusion that it was 80 million taels, excluding military salaries and expenses, how could it be a balance of 120 million taels.

Hearing Hou Guoxing calculate the detailed accounts, Zhu Youxiao slowly showed a depressed expression, and the carving knife in his hand had already been replaced by a hammer, beating vigorously on the architectural model.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao like this, Hou Guoxing carefully moved to the edge of the sofa, so as not to accidentally let the hammer dry on himself. I thought that it usually looks good, but it was actually an iron rooster at the critical moment, forget it, I didn't hurt my feelings for this little money, and said:

"Hey! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? If I really don't want to give it, forget it, although I sometimes like a little money, but I don't do things that make my brother embarrassed. Don't put that on your face! ”

Zhu Youxiao is still silent!

Hou Guoxing asked tentatively again:

Don't you really have any money?

Zhu Youxiao put down the tool in his hand and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said:

"Big brother, what do you say is going on in this world? No one understands this simple truth. What happened to the Ming Dynasty, where did all the money go? How can those officials who read the books of the sages and pursue the great rule in the mouth of Confucius and Mencius every day? ”

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's expression, Hou Guoxing let go of the big stone in his heart, it seems that this hammer will not hit him. But seeing Zhu Youxiao like this, he felt distressed, this child was only sixteen years old, he was a prince since he was a child, but he was bullied, and he was worried all day long, resulting in a withdrawn temperament, ascending the throne as the emperor, and being rich in the world, but he couldn't even take out a few thousand taels of gold.

Thinking of this, Hou Guoxing was not interested in investigating whether this Ming had money or not, anyway, with his own ability, he was afraid that he would not be able to get money! got up and patted Zhu Youxiao's shoulder, stared at Zhu Youxiao's eyes and said:

"Brother, many things are actually accumulated over time, you are still young now, as long as you work hard in the future, and take the people as the foundation, everything will be fine. The eldest brother promised you that he would definitely help you and make you a generation of Mingjun. ”

Zhu Youxiao was not liked by his grandfather and father when he was young, and he suffered a lot from Li Changshi, and now although he has ascended the throne, there is no one to trust except Wang An and Kebaba. Hou Guoxing's magical objects made Zhu Youxiao shocked, and even avoided the fate of becoming a puppet. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao was moved in his heart, got up and clasped Hou Guoxing's hand, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Big brother, can I really be Mingjun?"

"As long as you believe me, you can." Hou Guoxing shook Zhu Youxiao's hand fiercely and said.
