Chapter 617: Barren Mountains and Mountains

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred and seventy years, the princes and princes have sealed each other wave after wave, although it is not astronomical, but it is dense and dazzling, but, after so many years, it has been slaughtered by the royal family, withdrawn, and there are many extinct ones, so there are very few left, especially those princes and marquis of the country, but the earl grabbed a handful, but after all, there are a few in the capital at the moment!

At five o'clock, when it was just dark, Rwan's helicopter slowly took off from the mansion and headed straight for the imperial city, which naturally attracted the people below to either bow down or raise their eyes.

The palace is forty-nine cities, some people gathered outside the gate of Xi'an, there are more than 20 people gathered, surrounded by their own families, carriages and other things, one by one holding their arms and stomping their feet waiting for something, these needless to say are naturally the lords of the city who are ordered to gather here to prepare to participate in the night banquet of the god king!

The rumbling helicopter sound came, and under the stunned eyes of everyone, Lu Wang and a personal guard walked down, did not say anything to everyone, but smiled slightly and raised his hand A bus appeared in front of everyone, and then turned to board the plane, Huo Huo took off and went straight to the west.

"Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and get in the car, don't let the god king wait any longer" The personal guard who followed Lu Wan down was naturally the driver for these people, and as he said that, he got in the car and started the car, and all kinds of surprises came up and began to talk about it.

Only a few people know about this night banquet, and even these lords who came by order only know how to participate in the banquet, but they don't know the exact location, they thought it was in the palace, but now it seems that it is obviously not, but it is also a little good, the fewer people who know, the security does not have to worry too much!

However, after all, it is the emperor who is out of the palace, even if there is a god king and a side, the security cannot be too sloppy, before Lu Wang and Chongzhen set off. There are already five hundred royal forest troops driving to the western suburbs, and there are nearly 100 brocade guards on the left and right of the current bus, and they are followed by one person and one car, but Luo Yangxing!

Although outsiders don't know about this night banquet, the traces of Rwann are still too easy to be discovered by the people, after all, the helicopter is too eye-catching these years, and the bus walking on the street has attracted the curious eyes of the people, so many witnesses speculate that the god king may have gone to the west to do something!

Wanshou Mountain is still called Wengshan at this time, and Kunming Lake is still called Wengshanbo, although Yan Liang has built a palace here. Closer to say, Xiaozong's nurse has built a temple here, Wuzong also has a small villa here, and even Wei Zhongxian has made this a back garden, but now it is indeed as barren as Chongzhen said, the temple has become a ruined wall, and the lake is full of miscellaneous forests and branches, which is very suitable for taking a chat or a field battle or something!

The Imperial Forest Army was ordered to come early in the afternoon, naturally it was not as simple as just looking at the wind, and they also cleaned up a large area of open space on the shore of Kunming Lake. A large tent was set up and a bonfire was lit around it.

Rwan's helicopter stopped directly on the ice on the lake, Chongzhen, the prince. and Princess Changping, who had to follow Lu Wang wherever she went, as well as Shishilang and a few personal guards, but Concubine Tian and the two princes did not appear, and even Xiaoyue did not come!

The perimeter of the tent fell to its knees. The Imperial Forest Army Mountain shouted long live and then bowed to the God King, Chongzhen walked into the tent with an expressionless face, raising his eyebrows. Because it was empty, but when Rhuwang came in, his face was overjoyed, because in the blink of an eye, there were all kinds of tables, chairs and benches. The fairy tease is so awesome!

The helicopter was not put away, and even the lights were not turned off, the lake was as bright as day, Changping happily started to skate on the lake by a few palace maids, and the prince was eager to try, and finally gritted his teeth and went!

"It's cold, first make ginger soup for the brothers to warm up, and each person on duty tonight will be rewarded with two taels of silver" Before the guests came, Lu Wang stood at the mouth of the tent, shrunk his neck, and said to the commander of the Yulin Army and threw out the silver in his hand!

Commander Daxi: "Thank you to the God King"

"Don't thank me, it's the emperor who rewarded me" Lu Wang smiled slightly, and the commander hurriedly thanked Chongzhen in the tent, Chongzhen smiled and said nothing!

"Come here, take these fireworks and play with Changping, be careful not to get too close" Lu Wang took out the things to coax the child, this wipe turned around and walked into the tent, fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, and looked at Chongzhen: "The emperor really doesn't have a share?" This is a super profitable business, so let's say that I can easily return to my capital and double my income in a year with a million taels."

"God King, it's not that I don't want to buy shares, but the treasury is really empty, even if my internal money is stretched to pay for the expenses of the palace, I really can't get the capital" Chongzhen's head is going to die, Lu Wang fooled him for half an afternoon, that is, he said that the sea ban is to do sea trade to make more money, let him invest!

Lu Wang smiled slightly, he saw Chongzhen's intentions, but he decided not to open his mouth this time, otherwise the initiative would be slowly seized by this kid: "Okay, since the emperor doesn't do it, then I have to cooperate with these dukes!" ”

Chongzhen was a little anxious, and didn't even mention this stubble, it seemed that he had taken some strength: "God King, how about I use some jewels in the palace to pay for it?" ”

Lou Wan shook his head: "I don't like those things, but I can give the emperor an idea"

"What does the God-King think?" Chongzhen hurriedly asked

"The royal family has no money, and those princes are all fat and oily, ask them to borrow it!" Lu Wang pretended to be relaxed, and sure enough, Chongzhen's face immediately darkened, and he even snorted coldly: "These people don't ask me to burn high incense, how can I expect them to borrow, they are all masters who want money and don't want to die!" ”

Lu Wang laughed, knowing that Chongzhen was secretly scolding the Fu King of Henan, and the goods were besieging the city, so the officials let him use the money to fund the people to defend the city, and the people were not pulling out a dime, and finally they were stewed, and throughout the Ming Dynasty, there was more than one such prince, there were many, and Lu Wang would meet several next!

"Then why don't you borrow me?" After Lu Wang smiled, he was serious, Chongzhen was stunned, with a smile on his face: "Is the interest rate high?" ”

"How about borrowing 1 million with 3 million principal and interest a year?" Lu Wang said lightly, Chongzhen almost bit his tongue: "Three million, God King, why don't you grab ......" seemed to feel that what he said was a bit of a collision, Chongzhen hurriedly stopped!

"It's too untechnical to rob, and three million is not expensive, the emperor don't forget that I told you that one million can earn at least a few million a year!"

"That's what the God King said, but when the time comes, I won't have much left to rent your ship for the use of the ship, as well as the protection of the fleet, and after paying the tax. In the afternoon, when I was discussing how to trap those marquises, I said, could it be that the god king also had to set me down? Chongzhen had a bottomless expression on his face.

Haha, Lu Wang was a little embarrassed, regretting that he had a big tongue and a loose mouth, and he didn't hold the door in the afternoon, "Then let's do it, in order to support the royal family to get rich, I'll go back and buy some calligraphy and painting antiques from your palace, and help you fold some cash as capital."

This can be had. Chongzhen smiled, feeling that he had finally seized the initiative.

The bus finally came, but because the lake was deserted and the car could not enter, the lords had to walk here, and now after saluting at the door of the tent, and then sat down around the big table, and at this time, the wine and food began to be served, still the same as at noon. It's shabu-shabu!

There are more than 20 people, many of whom Lu Wang doesn't know, and he doesn't have much interest in getting to know them, but there are a few people who are special and he still greeted them warmly. For example, Dingguo Gong Xu Yunjiao, Xin Lehou, Xuancheng Bo, and Hui Anbo are all acquaintances who have entered his fairy palace for a meal and drink (the above mistake is to take Chengguo Gong as Dingguo Gong), as for other strangers.

Bang bang. As soon as everyone got off the table, the fireworks on Kunming Lake next to the transparent curtain were angry and dazzling. Ah Jiu and the prince finally put off the fireworks, and shouted happily, which also attracted the admiration of everyone in the tent.

There are only two palace maids standing next to them in the tent, in fact, there is no work for them to sit on, it is completely a symbolic decoration, after all, eating hot pot, everything is ready-made, and there is no need to serve.

After watching the fireworks for a while, the lords began to introduce themselves one by one, Lu Wang had to admire Chongzhen at this time, so many people, who actually remembered it clearly, but think about it, the royal family is just such a thing.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen? When a middle-aged man in his forties stood up to introduce himself, Lu Wang's eyebrows jumped, "But after Zhu Neng!" ”

"Hui God King, Zhu Neng is the ancestor!" Zhu Chunchen replied proudly!

Ay...... Lu Wang sighed and stopped talking, Zhu Chunchen was a little embarrassed, although he didn't understand it very well, but he felt that this god king seemed to be disappointed, yes, Lu Wang was really disappointed in Zhu Chunchen, quite Zhu Neng was so awesome, but the descendants were so greedy for life and afraid of death, ignoring the royal favor for so many years, and the soft-footed shrimp at the critical moment.

"Does Cheng Guogong know that Chen Yan has been killed by me?" Just when Zhu Chunchen was panicking, Lu Wang suddenly spoke!

"Chen Yan? Former Tobe Shoshu? How did he get killed? Lu Wang's words not only made Zhu Chunchen stunned, everyone present was very surprised except for Chongzhen, they only knew that the household department had been planned as the Ministry of State Affairs, and the minister was Ni Yuanlu! And the original Hubu Shangshu Chen Yan was withdrawn, and now he heard that the God King meant to be killed!

"Yes, I was killed last night and secretly executed, do you know why?" Lu Wang smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "If he doesn't die, he will be promoted to the secretary of the military department next year and become the first assistant of the Ming cabinet, but in the same way, the higher the official position of this kind of garbage, the more evil he will create, colluding with the inside and outside, betraying the country and seeking glory, why don't I kill and keep it, although the emperor has ordered that the guilty person will not raid his house in the future, but I still raided his house, do you know how much silver you found?" 200,000 giants! ”

Lu Wang's face turned pale: "A scholar who has been promoted to the household department for less than two years by the Hanlin Academy only has so much cash, and the family property is even more terrifying, do you know why he didn't have time to escape and was caught by Li Zicheng when the city was broken, it was because there were too many family properties!" ”

Some people don't understand what Lu Wan said, but some people just need to understand! Especially Chongzhen's face turned black, he took a glass of beer and drank it all, and then glanced at Zhu Chunchen coldly, the good guy immediately shuddered, Nima, what is this talking about, even if Chen Yan is damned to me!

"Zhang Jinyan was also killed, you know, it was also a secret execution!" Lu Wang sneered and continued, everyone suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and now they finally felt that what the ancestor said was right, there was no good banquet, and it was difficult to choose such a place in the middle of the night......

"The military department is in the middle of the matter?" Zhu Chunchen felt that the soles of his feet were cold!

"Yes, but next year he should have sat in the position of the secretary of the military department, but when Li Zicheng's army just came to the city, it was also the Xizhi Gate that the Ming Dynasty's military secretary personally opened for the thieves!" Lu Wang snorted coldly: "Do you say you should kill or not?" ”

Zhu Chunchen was a little confused, and said involuntarily: "It should be killed, it should be killed" and then his heart tightened, what this fairy said was in the future, could it be that he would do something in the future, thinking about it, he couldn't help but look towards Chongzhen, and the emperor was expressionless, and he was soaking the mutton with a gloomy face.

Sure enough, Lu Wang's next words made Zhu Chunchen and the others feel cold: "Call the big guy here tonight to have a shabu and talk about a few things quietly, I hope we can have a happy chat!" ”

"What the God King wants to talk about, I'll listen to it" Ding Guogong was the first to speak, Lu Wang glanced at him, although this Guo Gong did not disgrace the name of his ancestors in the end, but he is usually not worth mentioning, much worse than Wei Guogong in Nanjing, or because Wei Guogong and him have a leg, Lu Wang has a xenophobic mood, anyway, he can't like this person very much!

"It's just bloodletting for you" Lu Wang smiled faintly, everyone was almost scared, and sure enough, they were about to start, and some people suddenly broke out in cold sweat and looked at each other.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a joke" Lu Wang heaved: "But after all, this is a matter of government affairs, or the emperor will come to it" said and sat down, lit a cigarette and began to swallow the clouds.

"Everyone, from now on, I am going to use the knife against you" Chongzhen was also refreshed, and came as soon as he opened his mouth: "But this knife is not on the neck, but on the treatment, I will send a holy decree tomorrow to announce to the world, after the Ming Dynasty, adjust the princes and generals, the highest annual salary shall not exceed five hundred taels of silver, Lu shall not exceed one hundred stones, and recover part of the land, the king, the land shall not exceed five hundred acres, the national prince, shall not exceed three hundred acres, the marquis, but two hundred, and the earl shall not exceed one hundred acres!" Henceforth, the title was only an honor, and there was no real reward, but there was one thing, I allowed the king to keep private soldiers."

One stone and a thousand waves, I heard that it was not a killer, and everyone just breathed a sigh of relief, but he was almost spurted blood by the degree of reduction in salary and treatment, and this salary deduction was simply unreasonable for him.

"Presumably that's what the God-King meant, right?" Ding Guogong was calm, looking at Lu Wang and sneering.

"What do you think?" Rwan smiled

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers have been favored by the emperor for generations, how the emperor decides, the ministers will obey, but the god king is afraid that he will offend many princes, and even make the world chaotic. The income of the royal mansion depends on those fields in addition to the money, but in this way, the income of the royal mansion is estimated to be not enough for daily expenses, which royal mansion is not hundreds or thousands! And the emperor even allowed the palace to raise a private army, which is simply ......" Xu Yunzhen's last sentence forced them to rebel and forcibly held back and didn't say anything!

"Today is just to ventilate to you, as for those princes, the emperor has already issued a decree to let them gather in Hangzhou on the fifteenth day of the first month to discuss this matter again, and the emperor has forgotten some just now, I will help him make up for it, that is, not only allow the princes to raise private armies, but you are also allowed, but it must be controlled within 200 people!"

"Ahh Your Majesty, this must not be! Xin Lehou suddenly shouted, this will be chaotic......"

Hahaha, Lu Wang suddenly laughed: "Xinlehou is worried that someone will take the opportunity to rebel? ”

Xin Lehou nodded lightly, Lu Wang stopped smiling, and his face showed a cold color: "Do you know that I have been waiting for someone to rebel, otherwise I will not be idle and have nothing to do after I defeat Zhang Xianzhong and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to put it mildly, if you want to rebel, although you are opposed, but I will pull up his family and the ancestral grave together, this world can only be surnamed Zhu, and it must be the emperor's lineage!" ”

Yaqi was silent, Lu Wang's words were ruthless, and his momentum was strong, but Chongzhen showed a smile on his face and gently arched his hand at Lu Wang!

"Father, I'm hungry" Just when the air was condensed and dull, Ah Jiu and the prince pushed open the curtain and walked in, Eleven Lang followed, Lu Wang stood up with a smile, walked to the corner and waved a few elegant seats: "You guys just be quiet!" ”

Maybe it was because of the appearance of the princess that the atmosphere that was about to condense was eased a lot, Lu Wang pretended to have nothing to do and picked up the wine glass and began to toast one by one, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and no longer mentioned what had just happened, but instead chatted about tea and dinner, and some even chatted with Lu Wangre about some gossip, and the atmosphere warmed up again! (To be continued......)
