Chapter 349: Hidden Forces
The entire palace is full of white silk, and Zhu Gaochi is naturally no exception here, the white white silk does not even let go of the small pavilion in the back garden, Zhu Gaochi looks at the coming Tang Ming with a smile in the white silk fluttering in the wind.

Wine is good wine, as for the dishes? Tang Ming's eyes are full of meat, it seems that Zhu Gaochi has been afraid of eating fast recently! Tang Ming snorted and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so elegant! I was still in the mood to drink a little wine in this fluttering little pavilion. ”
Tang Ming said so, but his movements were not slow, he found a more comfortable position by himself, picked up the wine jug and had an aperitif first, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate and drank like a storm.
Zhu Gaochi seems to have long been accustomed to Tang Ming's habit of saying one thing and doing another. Looking up at Tang Ming, Zhu Gaochi chuckled and said, "You are not very interested!" The third watch can still come into the palace in the middle of the night, is my wine and meat really so fragrant, and you can still smell it at such a distance? ”
Thinking about it, he was very likely to be framed because of Zhu Gaochi's relationship, but the culprit in front of him was still saying cool things in front of him. Tang Ming was angry and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, if I hadn't been called by the emperor, do you think I would have been able to enter the palace at this point in time?" ”
"Father asked you to enter the palace? What was discussed? ”
Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned, and then began to get nervous. It's the middle of the night, and after Tang Ming met the emperor at this time, he came directly to him, indicating that the matter must be related to him. At this juncture, any wind and grass will make him cautious.
Tang Ming was very disdainful of Zhu Gaochi's nervous appearance, but he no longer talked nonsense, but said bluntly: "I suspect that there are people in the palace who are behind me, especially the second prince, you had better find someone to help me keep an eye on him, and notify me immediately if there is any news." ”
As soon as he heard about his younger brother Zhu Gaoxi, Zhu Gaochi immediately frowned, and after thinking about it, he asked Tang Ming again, "How did he frame you?" ”
Tang Ming shook his head and said, "It's still uncertain if it's a ghost behind his back, but it definitely has nothing to do with him." There was actually an official from southern Fujian who played the emperor, saying that I was recruiting troops on Ryukyu Island with bad intentions, and his grandmother's was a ruthless move to kill me! If I hadn't been so eloquent and persuaded the emperor with my three-inch tongue, I guess I would have been sent to prison a long time ago. ”
"There is such a thing!"
Zhu Gaochi muttered secretly and said, "Then why are you so sure it was Gao Xi's doing, I also heard about your Ryukyu Island recently!" If you want to trade there and go around to nearby ports to attract maritime merchants, this is obviously to the detriment of some people's interests. Today's coastal port can be regarded as the most oily place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is inevitable that some people will be jealous if you do this, so it is very possible to secretly do something unfavorable to you! ”
After Zhu Gaochi's analysis, Tang Ming remembered that on the day he opened, not a single Ming maritime merchant came. Could it be that this matter has some kind of connection with those maritime merchants as well? And it's very likely that the same person is doing it, and maybe that's why no one is developing a natural port with such a great location as Ryukyu Island?
Things don't seem to be as simple as Tang Ming imagined, and the deeper he thinks about it, the more complicated he feels, he thought that Ryukyu Island was just too big an investment, so no one dared to try it, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. But there is a deeper reason for this, as for what the reason is, Tang Ming can't find the problem in this limited clue at all.
Although the reason is unknown, Tang Ming is sure of one thing, this guy hidden in the shadows will definitely not be small. If Zhu Di was willing to tell the officials who had framed him, things would have been much easier. Tang Ming knew in his heart that Zhu Di would not say or do this, and he could only find a breakthrough from elsewhere.
Fortunately, I have also got some clear clues, and the scope of officials in Minnan Yuegang has been reduced to very small. It is also necessary to let Li Dazhui and them come out to carry out activities, and these people must give them a dismount.
Zhu Gaochi saw that Tang Ming had been silent for a long time, eager to know his final decision, and couldn't help but ask, "How is it?" Need my help? ”
"What do you want?" Tang Ming was slightly stunned, Zhu Gaochi's words seemed to be a pun!
Sure enough, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have been waiting for Tang Ming's words, only to see this guy say with a face that he was not beaten: "Ryukyu Island also let me take a share!" I have heard Inspector Zheng say that you are not inferior to Nanjing City now, and I admire your vision and talent in this area from the heart! ”
Seeing that Tang Ming immediately frowned, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly persuaded him: "Think about it, Ryukyu Island is now your private business, without any official status. Although you also pay taxes to your father. But after all, it will harm the interests of some people, and I know that you have never liked to deal with these official people, but can you not deal with them in this business? So let me come forward, they will be more or less afraid of my identity, at least they have to think about me before they do something bad for Ryukyu Island? ”
Zhu Gaochi has tasted the sweetness from every cooperation with Tang Ming, and a few days ago he heard Zheng He's evaluation of Jeju Island. Since then, Zhu Gaochi has been itching to insert a foot in Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island, but he has been struggling to find a good excuse. Tonight finally waited for such an opportunity, and he would not give up easily no matter what.
Tang Mingbei Zhu Gaochi stirred up like this, and to be honest, he was really very excited in his heart, but he didn't plan to let anyone intervene in Ryukyu Island from the beginning. Not even Zhu Gaochi, who will build an island closer to the future generations. Now, both human resources, technology, and all materials have been transferred from Jeju Island to Ryukyu Island.
For this reason, Fei Xindu no longer knows how many times he has run back and forth between Jeju Island and Ryukyu Island, and it can be said that the Ryukyu Island at this time is all the foundation that Tang Ming has laid for more than two years. Once his old bottom is exposed to the eyes of these outsiders, then what secrets does he have to speak of?
But what Zhu Gaochi said just now really made him excited, but now is not suitable for Zhu Gaochi to participate too deeply! After thinking about it for a while, Tang Ming chuckled and said, "It's not impossible if you really want to, but let me tell you first, Ryukyu Island will definitely not have any profit in three years." So there won't be any dividends during this period, only non-stop investment, and there is also a requirement, you can't meddle in anything on the Ryukyu Island, everything there can only be said by me!
