Li Xing's calculation was indeed good, Zhu Di saw Tang Ming's eighteen jars of distilled liquor at first sight, but he was stunned, but he didn't have what Li Xing expected, he burst into anger, and then named Tang Ming out in public and questioned him.

Li Xing didn't want to let Tang Ming go like this, although he was a little disappointed in Zhu Di's performance, but the moment he was stunned just now, he also took it in his eyes. I don't know why Zhu Di didn't get as angry as he expected, but fortunately, Zhu Di also has some shadows in his heart at the moment.

He also prepared an opportunity just in case, but he raised his head slightly, and glanced at the second prince standing behind Zhu Di. The second prince nodded slightly, as if he understood what Li Xing wanted to do for himself, and waited quietly for a moment, and then bowed down and said softly.

"Enlighten the father, do you know if you have something to say?"

Zhu Di didn't even look at him, just looked at the record book in his hand, mumbled, and said concisely: "Speak!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, but he quickly restrained himself, leaned over and whispered in Zhu Di's ear: "Father, the sons and daughters see that each of these ministers has offered real money and silver as a gift, but only this Weihai Hou Tang Ming only brought these ten jars of distilled liquor, which seems a little unreasonable. ”

"Oh, what's so unreasonable, tonight is a celebration banquet, and there's nothing wrong with sending a few jars of wine, why do you say that!" Zhu Di put down the notebook and looked at Zhu Gaoxu suspiciously.

There is a gap between Tang Ming and his son, and Zhu Di naturally knows it in his heart, so he will ask this question at this moment. Zhu Gaoxu has been following him since the Jing Dynasty came to an emergency, and his personality and courage have his own style.

It's a pity that his brain is not bright enough, his chest has no ink, and he has momentum, but he doesn't have the demeanor of being the king of a country. The world is now peaceful, and Zhu Di has also considered the establishment of a prince from time to time during this time. The eldest prince, Zhu Gaochi, is too fat, and his nature is calm and does not like to move.

Even when he walked around, he needed the help of the eunuchs, although he was the eldest son, he should have inherited the throne, but it was his shortcomings that always made Zhu Di hesitate. In addition, the second prince Zhu Gaoxu has been very active by his side in recent years.

In another battle in Jingnan, he desperately saved Zhu Di's life, so Zhu Di is now more and more fond of him. It's not that his head is not smart enough, and he is easy to act impulsively, otherwise Zhu Di would have made him the crown prince long ago.

When Zhu Gaoxu and Tang Ming had friction, Zhu Di was so angry, mainly because of the indisputable elements of anger. All day long, he was either brave and ruthless, or he brought a group of dog minions to cause trouble, and the people he befriended were all those who did not learn and did not know how to do it, so Zhu Di also felt helpless.

Zhu Gaochu didn't know what Zhu Di really thought in his heart all along, and there was a lack of proper communication between father and son, which made Zhu Gaochu think that Zhu Di didn't like him. He will now make friends with those fox friends and dogs, causing trouble, and sometimes because of anger.

As Zhu Di guessed, Zhu Gaoxi has liked to dance and play with swords since he was a child, and he likes to move rather than be quiet, which is just the opposite of his brother Zhu Gaochi's personality. is a rough person, so naturally he can't make friends with those scholars who are literate.

Even the many gentlemen who have taught him can't get along with him, let alone have classmates among his peers who will be good friends with him. The more he was looked down upon by people who read, the more Zhu Gaoxu behaved out of place, and he never had a good face for those Wenchen and scholars. The words 'useless is a scholar' have always been deeply engraved in his mind.

"Father, Wei Haihou obviously didn't take you to heart in this way, tonight's visitor, everyone in the court, that psychology understands that he wants to send silver over as a congratulatory gift. Only this Weihaihou just got a few jars of wine and wanted to get by. ”

"My father has just named him the marquis, this son doesn't know how to be grateful, and he still does such a ridiculous thing at such a juncture, this wind can't rise, and the son begs his father to give him a punishment to show my royal majesty." Zhu Gaoxu didn't hear the true meaning of what Zhu Di said just now, so he told Li Xingjiao and his words in one fell swoop, and then looked at Zhu Di with a smug face.

The movements of Zhu Gaoxu and Li Xing on the emperor's side, Tang Ming, who had been paying attention to them for a long time, naturally saw them in his eyes. You can guess with your toes that they must be preparing to attack themselves at this moment by taking advantage of the eighteen jars of wine they have sent.

Tang Ming wasn't worried at all about what waves they could make with this, he knew the value of his wine. The price of eighteen jars of distilled liquor is set at no less than 10,000 taels of silver, and the emperor naturally knows whether he has money or not, and he is absolutely sure, even if what he sends is just ordinary wine, Zhu Di will not take the opportunity to attack himself.

He is a marquis, but his fief is an isolated island overseas, with no people and no income. During the time I was an official, I only took that little bit of money, and I had no real power and no other income. Now he needs to invest heavily in his fiefdom in order to complete the supply of cattle and horses assigned by the emperor.

Tang Ming is so poor now that he didn't stretch out his hand to Zhu Di to ask for more money, he was already burning high incense. A wise and martial emperor like Zhu Di, if he could still be cheeky and ask for his own money at this moment, Tang Ming would not believe it.

But Tang Ming was destined to have his luck to the extreme tonight, and after listening to the second prince's proclamation, Zhu Di only pondered for a moment, then raised his head and began to look around. Finally, his gaze fixed on Tang Ming's face, and he shouted with a gloomy face: "Where is Tang Ming in Weihai?" ”

The ministers only cared about chatting vigorously in the circle, and no one paid attention to anything on Zhu Di's side, and the originally happy atmosphere was startled by Zhu Di's sudden cold cheer. Instantly quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Tang Ming and Zhu Di.

Seeing this scene, more than a dozen people in the know smiled and changed their comfortable sitting postures, always ready to watch a good show.

Li Xingnai is the emperor's current celebrity, and recently served as the governor of Dongchang, this department is equivalent to the power of Jinyiwei. is such a person, you Weihaihou dare to embarrass him in person, although you Tang Ming is a disciple of Yao Guangxiao, but you and other sinners don't say it, and you also made a few jars of wine as a gift to the emperor.

Leaving such a handle to others, isn't this digging a pit and burying yourself? If Li Xing adds oil and vinegar to the explanation in front of the emperor, the emperor will be angry, even if Yao Guangxiao comes forward to protect you, a disciple, although you Tang Ming can avoid death, but the delamination will definitely not be able to escape.

There are people who have witnessed the whole process of the dispute between Tang Ming and Li Xing at the gate of the palace, and they are all sighing for Tang Ming in their hearts at this moment; "Alas, although this son is smart, it's a pity that he is still a blank sheet of paper in this officialdom, and he doesn't understand the rules, so he's still too tender!"
