"This king has called you because he has something to entrust to you."

Zhu Houxi's tone was gentle, and there were no negative emotions, but Qian Ning, who knelt down in front of Zhu Houxi, was panicked in his heart.

"Let His Highness command, his subordinates will definitely not disappoint His Highness."

Because Zhu Houxi's current identity is the imperial superintendent, everyone's title for Zhu Houyu has also changed from the original Xingwang to His Royal Highness.

Zhu Houxi said lightly: "This king heard that Jinyiwei is pervasive and has shelters in various towns, so this king wants to use Jinyiwei to help this king a little." ”

Hearing that Zhu Houxi really had something to do for him, Qian Ning was much more relieved at the moment, and said with a smile: "Jinyiwei is the royal Jinyiwei, of course, he is willing to serve His Highness." ”

Looking at Qian Ning's flattering appearance, Zhu Houxi of course knew why he was like this, so he comforted: "You don't have to be so careful, this king will reuse you in the future, this king has your handle, and he will be more comfortable and handy when he uses you." ”

Qian Ning pondered Zhu Houxi's words for a while, and found that this was really the truth, only if Zhu Houyu mastered his handle, he would be more convinced that he would not betray and would reuse him even more.

Qian Ning's condition was obviously much better, and he replied, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation." ”

"Your Majesty has previously rewarded Tianjin Wei to this king as a second fief, Tianjin Wei is rich in fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., this king needs to use the channels of Jinyiwei to send these seafood to all parts of the country, of course, Jinyiwei will also get the corresponding benefits, and the price of these seafood is very cheap, so that the people of Daming can no longer endure hunger."

When Zhu Houxi's remarks came out, Qian Ning certainly didn't think that Zhu Houyu was for the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty, but wanted to use public weapons for private purposes and collect money.

Qian Ning showed a knowing expression and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I understand that Your Highness is here for the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Houxi didn't know why, seeing Qian Ning like this, he always felt that he had misunderstood what he meant.

"This king's ugly words are ahead, if anyone is greedy for ink and maliciously has too high a price, so that the price of the sea goods for the people exceeds the price of this king, then they will be severely punished."

Qian Ning saw that Zhu Houxi was not at ease, and swore and promised: "Don't worry, if any of them are greedy for Lord Mo's money, I will go to raid his house." ”

It may be that the character set up for Qian Ning before made Qian Ning misunderstand his character, but for an official like Qian Ning, Zhu Houxi didn't intend to explain, and continued: "Remember your guarantee, otherwise the money lost by this king will be made up by you." ”

As soon as he heard that Zhu Houxi asked him to make up the money, Qian Ning immediately said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it is my duty to make up the deficit for His Highness." ”

No wonder the historical Emperor Zhengde would favor a person like Qian Ning, because it was too comfortable to stay with such a person, if it weren't for Zhu Houxi's reading of the history of the Ming Dynasty and thinking that Qian Ning was not a good person, he would have been on guard at the beginning, and it is estimated that he would have been coaxed by Qian Ning to be dizzy, and he would have become a confidant and brother with Qian Ning.

Zhu Houxi's words changed sharply, and he said seriously: "There is another matter. ”

Seeing that Zhu Houxi's attitude was serious and not as casual as before, Qian Ning subconsciously raised his heart and asked, "What else is going on with Your Highness?" ”

"Let Jinyiwei inquire more about whether they are willing to leave their hometown for this king when they are selling seafood."

There is a strict system of regulations in the Ming Dynasty, and the displaced people can be said to have a low status, if they are not really unable to live, no one wants to leave their hometown and become a hooligan of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houxi said so, but Qian Ning did not know how to answer.

Zhu Houxi saw Qian Ning's troubled expression, knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, their answer will not affect the importance that this king attaches to it, you help this son find some children, let them hum a ballad, just say that death moves death, people move alive ......"

Qian Ning's heart was full of bitter water, he felt that Zhu Houxi was trying to play Daming to death, while using sea to collect money and exploit the people's fat and ointment, on the other hand, he used songs and ballads to incite people's hearts and create displaced people.

He Qian Ning thinks that he is not a good person, but he is not a fool, if something happens, he Zhu Houxi, as a prisoner of the country and a royal family, is still the favored royal brother of Emperor Zhengde, naturally nothing will happen, but he Qian Ning is going to be unlucky, not to mention the destruction of the family, even the current rich and noble officials will definitely not be able to preserve.

"Your Highness spares your life."

Qian Ning once again knelt down in front of Zhu Houyu and cried, startling Zhu Houxi, who was looking forward to the future.

"So what is this for?"

Zhu Houxi, who jumped to the side, looked at Qian Ning and asked inexplicably.

Qian Ning cried and said: "This is the crime of killing the head, begging His Highness to spare his life." ”

Zhu Houxi analyzed Qian Ning: "This king didn't let you do it with great fanfare, this king asked you to do it secretly." ”

Qian Ning didn't understand the difference between this, and the result was not the same when he did it secretly after the incident and did it with great fanfare.

"Your Highness, what's the difference?"

Zhu Houxi felt that Qian Ning was like a fool, and he couldn't see the difference, he praised him in vain before.

"One is easy for people to find, and the other is not easy for people to find, can't you understand the difference?"

Qian Ning felt that what Zhu Houxi said was equivalent to not saying it, of course he knew this difference, and the important thing was that he didn't want to use his life to fight for the odds that were not easy for people to find.

Qian Ning nodded indifferently and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do if I am discovered?" ”

Zhu Houxi changed his previous demeanor and said: "If you are discovered, you will be discovered, and this king has not done anything to hurt heaven and reason, if you are discovered, you will continue to do it openly, with this king here, what are you afraid of?" ”

Qian Ning wanted to say that it was precisely because of Zhu Houxi's presence that he felt scared, but in the end he didn't dare to say it, after all, he felt that he was still young and didn't want to die too early.

Qian Ning flattered: "Yes, yes, with His Highness here, I am naturally not afraid." ”

Zhu Houxi patted Qian Ning's shoulder with satisfaction, and the gaze in his eyes finally revealed a little kindness, which made Qian Ning feel a little comforted.

"You can think so, this king is very pleased, you can rest assured, when this king completes the plan, there will be your credit in this."

Qian Ning really wanted to go to Zhengde and ask Zhengde if he had considered whether His Royal Highness King Xing would supervise the country well when he asked Zhu Houxi to supervise the country.

However, Qian Ning knows his current situation, he and Zhu Houxi should be regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope, even if he goes to Zhengde to sue now, the result may only be a few reprimands for Zhu Houxi, but he will be miserable, he will offend the two brothers at the same time, and his future life can be imagined, and it will be miserable.

So in order to survive, Qian Ning chose to go along with Zhu Houxi.
