Chapter 172: Father-Daughter Love
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were full of fear when he looked at Princess Ruyang, he almost died at the hands of this aunt several times back then.
Lin Hao also had palpitations, as the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart, but she broke a dish of snake soup and was executed by Princess Ruyang.
"Why don't you see Chi'er?"
Princess Ruyang used a spoon to put soup in the jade saucer and said slowly.
"I handed over the training power of the Shenji Battalion to Chi'er, he didn't know the news of his sister's return before, and most of them inspected the Shenji Camp at this time."
Zhu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head, daring to kill in front of him, I am afraid that this is the one in the whole world.
"Is it training outside the city, or hiding from the palace."
Princess Ruyang snorted coldly, the jade disc in her hand fell to the ground, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
"Do you know what this palace means by coming to Tianfu this time?"
Princess Ruyang asked coldly.
"Sister Huang, try it, this is a novelty."
Zhu Di hurriedly sandwiched a piece of sheep scorpion to Princess Ruyang.
Princess Xianning and the Li family of Bozhou, the royal brother communicated with him last night, and he wanted to change the topic at this moment.
"Shut up!"
Princess Ruyang scolded, and then looked at Zhu Di.
"What reason does the imperial sister need to come to Yingtian, she should come if she wants to."
Zhu Di smiled and shook his head.
"Ning'er is also seventeen this year, so it stands to reason that she should be of marriageable age."
Princess Ruyang said quietly.
"Please also ask the imperial sister to make it clear."
Zhu Di arched his hand towards Princess Ruyang, pretending not to know.
"Your Majesty still remembers the marriage contract between Ning'er and the Li family in Bozhou, and this palace came this time precisely for the marriage between Li Muran, the second son of the Li family, and Ning'er."
Princess Ruyang spread a wedding book on the table.
"Father, is this true?"
Princess Xianning caught a glimpse of the handwriting on the marriage book, as well as her father's private seal, it was unbelievable, why did her father marry herself to the Li family of Bozhou, who had never met, and read the days on the marriage book, when she was still young.
"Ning'er, it's not your turn to speak here, Your Majesty's palace came this time, and also brought a dowry from the Li family in Bozhou, one million taels of silver, 30,000 horses of high-grade Shu embroidery, 5,000 good horses, and 400,000 stones of grain."
Princess Ruyang glared at Ning'er, then picked up the brocade handkerchief, wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, and spoke eloquently.
"It is worthy of being the first grain merchant in the world, and the shot is one million silver, and 400,000 stones of grain, which is enough for the Ming army for more than half a year."
Zhu Di sighed and said.
"Since the Bozhou Li family is so sincere, should Your Majesty set the marriage date as soon as possible, the Bozhou Li family is good to come to Tianfu to marry Ning'er, and Ning'er marries the Bozhou Li family, the benefits that can be brought to Daming, there is no need to repeat it in this palace."
Princess Ruyang said in a normal tone, in her opinion, now that the Ming Dynasty has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, the treasury is scarce, and the dowry given by the Li family in Bozhou can solve the urgent needs of the royal family, and Zhu Di categorically has no reason to refuse.
Although Princess Ruyang married Xie Da, she was unwilling to sink so much.
The most powerful in Bozhou is the Li family in Bozhou, after marrying into Bozhou, Princess Ruyang tried to find a way to get involved in the line of the head of the Li family.
recognized Li Muran, the second son of the Li family, as her righteous son, only she knew that before Emperor Hui ascended the throne, she took a fancy to Zhu Di's ambition and talent, and knew that even if Emperor Hui ascended the throne, the throne would not last long.
With the power of the Li family in Bozhou, he helped Zhu Di pass the pass and take Ying Tianfu directly, which can be regarded as the right bet.
However, Yizi disliked Princess Xianning suffering from tuberculosis, and was afraid that it would be infectious, so he delayed it again and again, and now he learned that Princess Xianning was cured, so he rushed to Yingtianfu as soon as possible.
As long as Li Muran becomes the master of the horse, he can seek an official and a half-position in the court, relying on the strong financial resources of the Li family in Bozhou, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a great minister.
What she wants is to pave the way for her heirs, although she is a princess, she has a bit of blood.
"As mentioned in the marriage book, after the Jingguo disaster, the two will get married immediately, but now in the past few years, there has been no news from the Bozhou Li family, and they think that the Bozhou Li family regrets the marriage, and the original marriage will not be counted."
Zhu Di picked up the wine cup, drank it bitterly, and after pondering for a long time, he finally spoke.
If there was no Lin Hao, he might have done this marriage, after all, Ning Er was in the emperor's family, and how could he be willful about marriage.
But now that Ning'er and Lin Xiaozi are in love, compared with the Bozhou Li family, Zhu Di is more optimistic about Lin Hao, and how can he let it go easily.
Ning Er's eyes were faintly filled with tears, as a princess, she had already been mentally prepared, but she didn't expect her father to be willing to speak for herself.
Lin Hao was also quite surprised, His Majesty asked him to come, wasn't it to block the knife, why did he go first?
"The Bozhou Li family has no wish to regret marriage, Your Majesty should not forget, if it weren't for the Bozhou Li family's donation of eight million taels of silver, countless amounts of food, and now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is not known."
"If this matter is made public, won't Your Majesty be accused of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, how can he serve the public in the future, and who else dares to serve the court with all his heart?"
Princess Ruyang snorted lightly, her eyes were gloomy, and it was clearly a naked threat.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Ruyang, although it is not the turn of Weichen to intervene here, I still want to say that Your Majesty has married Ning'er to me, and I can't lose my trust in the Bozhou Li family, can I lose my trust in Weichen?"
Lin Hao got up slowly, staring at Princess Ruyang with burning eyes, there was no cowardice in his eyes, and he said with full of anger.
Princess Xianning sighed in her heart, when did her father marry her to Brother Lin, she didn't know!
"It's ridiculous to be married to you, just because you are a grass farmer!?"
Princess Ruyang looked at Lin Hao with disdain.
"What about the background of a grass people, everyone is born equal, how can there be a distinction between high and low."
Lin Hao did not have the slightest emotional ups and downs.
Zhu Chun looked at Lin Hao with a smile, the whole Ming Dynasty, dare to fight with this person in front of him who is neither humble nor arrogant, and argues with reason, I am afraid that only this Lin boy is the only one.
After thinking about it, it seems that it would be good if Ning'er really married the Li family in Bozhou, so that Ling'er would be able to do this palace logically, but it was a pity that the imperial brother would not let him get his wish.
"Presumptuous, Zhao Si will take people, take it down for me, send it to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the palace will execute Ling Chi!"
Princess Ruyang scolded Zhao Si, who was serving on the side.
Zhao Si didn't move, as if he turned a deaf ear, even if he wanted to kill his head today, so what.
"You dog minion, this palace can't call you anymore!?"
Princess Ruyang pulled out the sword on Zhu Chun's waist and stabbed towards Lin Hao's door.
Zhao Si took a step forward, his body sank down slightly, and he raised his hand to shoot down the sword in Princess Ruyang's hand.
"Your Majesty, you have to protect this kid, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you offend the Bozhou Li family, the Bozhou Li family is in charge of half of the world's granaries, once the Bozhou Li family is out of the control of the imperial court, the consequences are unimaginable."
Princess Ruyang took a few steps back one after another to stabilize her figure, and the killing intent in her eyes was even worse.
"It's ridiculous, I think you are the imperial sister, endure and endure, according to my opinion, it's not that the Bozhou Li family wants to get rid of the control of the imperial court, but you want to use the Bozhou Li family to manipulate the court!"
Zhu Di got up slowly, his eyes were full of coldness, and he was like two people with the previous modest attitude.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"
A fine bead of sweat appeared on Princess Ruyang's forehead, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"In recent years, although the imperial sister has been in Bozhou, but the planning in the court has never stopped, the right political envoy Qiansong, the Jinwu general Meng Yi, Taichang Temple Siqing...... Above the court, almost half of the powerful ministers have received your greetings in secret. ”
"If the vassal king does this, I can still understand it, but you are the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, my own sister, how can I be embarrassed!?"
Zhu Di threw a pile of prayer stickers to the ground.
"This palace is just for the sake of this Ming society, and it has no selfish ......"
Princess Ruyang didn't even dare to look at Zhu Di's eyes, and her tone no longer had half of her previous confidence.
"I'm afraid you don't believe it, Shihong!"
Zhu Di sighed.
Cheng Guogong pushed open the door of the palace, followed by thousands of Jinwu guards, neatly lined up rows of lacquered mahogany boxes outside the main hall.
"Back then, I did rely on the Bozhou Li family's silver money and food salary, the battle of Jingyan can be won, there are 20 million taels of silver outside the palace, in addition, I give another 5 million taels, Bozhou Li's affection, can be regarded as a full repayment."
"In the future, the Bozhou Li family will have nothing to do with the imperial court, Ning'er's marriage can only be decided by herself, if he doesn't want to marry, no one can control it!"
"If you get entangled with it again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Zhu Di turned his back to Princess Ruyang, his tone was full of majesty, and he was full of imperial breath, which was undoubtedly displayed.
Princess Xianning had already cried into tears at this moment, and her pink fists were clenched tightly.
Lin Hao was also quite surprised, and finally knew why His Majesty wanted to let Huibaotong and the Tobacco Division settle accounts in the first place, and all of them were converted into cash, thinking that it was to balance himself, but he didn't think about it but to prepare for today.
20 million taels, the profits obtained by the Tobacco Division in the past half a year, I am afraid that it is also added to the income of King Shu Xian's operation in Shu Mansion over the years, all of which are here.
Sure enough, the father of the world has always been the same.
"Just 20 million taels, I want to send the Bozhou Li family, if there was no Bozhou Li family to help, how can you come to the throne now, I am afraid that you have already become the soul of Zhu Yunwen's knife!"
Princess Ruyang's face was extremely ugly, and her face turned pale in an instant, but she was still stubborn.
"It's useless to say more, from today onwards, you will no longer be a high-powered princess of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Da's family has all been abolished, and you are not qualified to participate in my family banquet, Zhao Si will send you off!"
Zhu Di scolded in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, please, our family has prepared the carriage back to Bozhou, don't embarrass our family."
Zhao Si made a gesture of please, worthy of His Majesty, this practice is really happy!
"You wait for the palace, don't think that everything is in your planning, and the Bozhou Li family can support one Zhu Di, and naturally it can support the second place!"
Princess Ruyang was angry and pointed at Zhu Di's nose and scolded.
