Chapter 37: The Rare Generosity of the Stingy Emperor (Part II)
Where did Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng still have the heart to eat, so they hurriedly went to the inner room to change their clothes and came out easily. The crown prince Zhu Changluo and Li Xuan of the West Palace pretended for a while, but they couldn't hold it anymore, so they went to the side hall to change into a down jacket.
Emperor Wanli sat at the dinner table refreshed, his eyes narrowed into a line with joy, and said, "The emperor is really smart and filial." Say, what is the request, just mention. As long as I can promise you, I will say yes. ”
As we all know, Emperor Wanli is a rather stingy emperor, he is like a divine beast Pixiu, money is only in and out of him, otherwise it is impossible to accumulate tens of millions of family properties for Zhu Changluo and Zhu Changxun. This time is his rare generosity, everyone's eyes are red, how much money can be made from this opening.
Zhu Youzhen stood up and said: "I hope that the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother will live a long and healthy life and love forever." ”
Concubine Zheng said with a smile: "This kid, now is not the time to say auspicious words. The emperor made it clear that as long as you have any requests, you can put it forward, and the mourning family promises that he will definitely agree to you. ”
Everyone's eyes are even redder, Zheng Guifei is a guarantor, it is difficult to think about whether you are rich or not.
Zhu Youzhen said: "What I just said is my request." ”
Zheng Guifei said: "What about other than this? ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "No, the emperor and my father treat me like a mountain." I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but what is there not to be satisfied with? ”
Zheng Guifei said: "That's it, I'll ask for a reward for you." Canonize your deceased biological mother Liu as a virtuous concubine, do you like this reward? ”
Zhu Youzhen knelt on the ground and knocked endlessly, with tears in his eyes. Giving his biological mother a name, and mourning after death is Zhu Youzhen's wish in the bottom of his heart. He knew that before and after Zhu Changluo became the emperor, there was basically no such hope, because Zhu Changluo didn't like her biological mother. He wanted to wait for his brother Zhu Youxiao to become the emperor, and then posthumously crown his mother, the relationship between the two brothers is quite good, and his brother will definitely agree to this request. I didn't expect this wish to come true today, thinking of this, he was even more grateful to Guocheng, because today's words and actions were all planned by Guocheng for him.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Li Xuanzhi in the West Palace, Zhu Changluo had applied to Wanli many times to make her the crown princess, but for some reason, Wanli never agreed, and he didn't expect that today's glory would actually be given to a dead ghost.
Guocheng noticed that Li Xuanshi's face in the West Palace was not good, but he didn't care at all, Zhu Changluo could only be the emperor for a month, was he afraid that his wife would make trouble? He saw Zhu Changxun and his son Zhu Yousong staring blankly at the down jackets that everyone was wearing, and they were about to stretch out a small hand to grab the down jacket and drag it in. Knowing that the two fathers and sons looked at the down jackets so eagerly, they were just afraid that Zhu Youzhen would not make clothes for them, just a prevarication. Speaking of which, these two fathers and sons are also quite pitiful, and they are used to being fooled. Guocheng asked Wang Chengen to take out a soft ruler and measure the size of Zhu Changxun and Zhu Yousong. Wang Chengen is not a tailor, and he would not have brought a soft ruler, but Guocheng was afraid that the emperor would take a fancy to the down jacket, so he asked for a down jacket for so-and-so, so he specially asked him to bring a ruler, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now. The two fathers and sons saw Wang Chengen measuring them and knew that they were not lying to them, so they made up their minds.
Wanli said: "Check your child, get up." Your children's playground is full of good things, what perfume, soap, towels, badminton, cards, oh, now there are more down jackets, and you have made a lot of money. These children and grandchildren of mine, not only can they not make money, but they reach out every month and ask me for money. ”
Guocheng was humble again and again, and then he understood that the reason why Wanli invited him was because the children's paradise he presided over could make money. Hey, this stingy emperor.
Wanli said again: "Guocheng, when will you finish building this children's paradise?" In the past few days, I have been playing badminton and cards with Zheng Guifei, and I am so happy. Thinking that there are more fun things in the children's paradise, my heart is tickled. ”
Guocheng said: "Now it is being painted, and when the paint is dry, the smell will be exhausted before it can be opened, and it is tentatively scheduled for February 2, when the dragon raises its head, which is suitable for the emperor to preside over the ribbon-cutting ceremony." ”
Emperor Wanli was a little confused and asked, "What is the ribbon-cutting ceremony?" ”
Guocheng thought that this was the Ming Dynasty, and there was no ribbon-cutting ceremony yet, so he explained: "Before the opening of the children's park, the door was sealed with ribbons, indicating that it had not yet opened. Ask a person of high moral standing to open the ribbon in front of the public, indicating that the opening is auspicious, this is the ribbon-cutting ceremony. ”
Wanli nodded, "That's a brilliant idea." But if you want me to cut the ribbon, you have to agree to one of my requests. ”
Guocheng thought helplessly, this Wanli is really true, he wanted to knock on his bamboo pole, and he knew that he would not be invited, so he said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. If the emperor has any requirements, just say it, as long as Weichen can do it, he will definitely do it. ”
Wanli said: "My imperial grandson, not only one child, Song'er is also the emperor's grandson, he also has the disease of the lonely bird you said, can you also let him live in your children's paradise to recuperate?" ”
Zhu Yousong opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that he didn't have any disease of being a lonely bird, but his father glared, and the words retracted. However, as soon as the children's playground opened, he would feel that his words had shrunk fast enough, or he would regret his death.
Guocheng looked at Wanli and put on a loving grandfather's appearance, and said, "Since the emperor and grandson are coming, let's come." The purpose of building the children's paradise is to bring happiness to the dragons and phoenixes, and then to create a paradise for the children in the capital. ”
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "It's better that you think so." I have decided, on February 2nd, I will definitely go to your place to cut the ribbon. ”
"Even so, the Lone King can't let you suffer," Zhu Changxun gritted his teeth and said, "Give you one or two pieces of silver every month." ”
When Guo Cheng heard this, he almost slipped off the chair, a tael of silver, and gritted his teeth, what kind of people are in this old Zhu family. Fortunately, Zhu Youzhen is not this kind of person, otherwise he really can't stand the bird. One or two pieces of silver are said to be playing for a month, even if it is not enough to eat.
Guocheng waved his hand weakly and said, "Forget it, don't want money, they are all dragons and phoenixes, and talking about money hurts feelings." ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Okay, okay, there is another little friend in the paradise." ”
Zhu Youxiao interjected: "Grandpa Huang, I seem to have that kind of lonely bird disease, can you let me go to the children's paradise to recuperate?" ”
Wanli looked at Zhu Youxiao suspiciously, I heard that you have a good relationship with Jian'er, why do you have to open your mouth when you go to the children's paradise? Immediately understood that Li Xuanzhi did not allow him to go, so he said: "Okay, I allow you to go to the children's paradise every other day to recuperate, but you are not allowed to stay overnight." ”
Wanli said: "I stuffed two people to the children's paradise, and I can't say nothing at all. In this way, I wrote an inscription for the children's paradise and stamped it with a jade seal, with this thing, those officials will not dare to embarrass you. It's just that you don't dislike my ugliness. ”
