After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Jingchang was busy inquiring about customers, especially North Korea, which was the focus of his attention.

And not to mention, he discovered the strange fetishes of this small country......

At this time, Zhu Gaosui, the third elder of the Zhu family, entered Beijing, and he also escorted Tiexuan, the political envoy of Shandong and the secretary of the military department, into Beijing. This person was almost the last of the ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty to be caught.

Because he was stationed in Jinan, he thwarted Zhu Di's offensive several times, and was also most hated by Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaosui took a lot of effort to catch this big fish and enter Beijing, thinking that his father could reward him well, so he couldn't wait to come and offer the treasure.

Zhu Di patiently listened to what happened, and praised Zhu Gaosui a few words, "It's a good job, but what to do with Tie Xuan, you still have to discuss with your second brother and listen to what he means." ”

"Second brother?" Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father, the son wanted to let the second brother enter the palace with me, but I didn't expect the second brother to say that he was not available. I heard that the second brother is now busy working in the General Administration Department all day long, and he has only been seen for a month or two, why do I think the second brother's temperament has changed greatly, what is he busy with now? ”

Zhu Di sighed lightly, "Your second brother is now a bodyguard!" It's just that I can't tell what he's doing. Well, you can take a look for me, inquire about it, and come back and tell me. ”

Zhu Gaosui agreed, and went to the General Administration Department.

After asking, Zhu Gaoxu was in the backyard, and he hurried over.

When I stepped into the hospital, I immediately smelled an indescribable sour smell.

Zhu Gaosui actually carried broken copper and iron with a few craftsmen, and he was so busy that he was sweating.

"I said, second brother, what kind of demon are you?" Zhu Gaosui came closer, looked at the copper and iron fragments, and then looked at the red-hot stove, and couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, do you want to make weapons privately?" ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted, "You idiot, how do you know what I'm doing now!" These are all ritual vessels of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which were made by the Jizi Supervisor at the beginning. ”

"Chickens? I also have eggs! You want to make fake bronzes, you want to deceive your father, right? Zhu Gaosui still has a lot of ideas, "Are you planning to get a third-generation ritual to please your father, and then seek the position of the prince?" Second brother, the younger brother is not talented, I am willing to help, our brothers are of one mind, the big fat man is not our opponent......"

"Get out!"

Zhu Gaoxu scolded unceremoniously: "What storage position, I don't want to think about it for a long time, I just want to make money now." ”

"Make money?" Zhu Gaosui laughed and said, "Are you going to sell fake bronzes?" Dream on, there are few fools in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "There is no Ming Dynasty, but there will be one in North Korea." ”

The more this is said, the more excessive, do you still want to sell it outside?

"Second brother, you have to have something wrong if you do this, in case you surprise Fanbang and sue your father, you can't spend the money you earn."

Zhu Gaoxu remained silent, took out two golden beans from his arms, and threw them to Zhu Gaosui.

"Can you tell me which golden bean can be spent? Which flower can't go out? ”

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, "This, how can I tell this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu snatched it from his hand and put it in his arms.

"You kid is not qualified to get involved in our business, get out of here, don't delay."

A moment later, Zhu Gaosui stood outside the General Administration, looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the ground, there was no problem!

Zhu Laoer, what's wrong?

Don't fall for it!

Hurry up to find his father, Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Di, added oil and vinegar, and told the matter again.

"Father, the second brother is really bad at learning, a dignified son, and he is thinking about fraud and deception. You didn't see it, the general administration department was smoky and stinky, and I didn't even see it. The dignified court office, how can you let the second brother Hu come? I suspect that he has bad intentions, maybe he wants to do something bad, do something witchcraft, or maybe he can't do it. ”

Syllable!

Zhu Di slapped the table fiercely and shouted angrily: "Your second brother is now with your cousin Xu Jingchang, Young Master Yao and Cao Guogong are also here, and even Cheng Guogong has passed, they are together, can they come nonsense?" ”

Zhu Gaosui was dumbfounded, "Father, what they are doing is not nonsense?" Erchen really doesn't know what Hu is here. ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a while, and finally let out a sigh, "That's it, I'll take a look, and you will follow." ”

In this way, Zhu Di took Zhu Gaosui to kill the General Administration.

When Zhu Di arrived, he found that several important ministers were really together and were discussing things.

Among them, sitting in the middle was the youngest Xu Jingchang, and the rest were listening carefully. Zhu Gaoxu just wiped his sweat, stretched his neck, and almost took notes.

"Your Majesty has put me in charge of the early trade matters. I want to make one thing clear here. That is the external affairs, and it must not be left to the waste of the Ministry of Rites and the sour Confucianism of the Hanlin Academy. ”

"And the rice bucket of Honglu Temple." Zhu added.

Xu Jingchang immediately nodded, "That's right, there is also the rice bucket of Honglu Temple." These fools will only spoil good things, we must focus on the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and devote ourselves to the country and make a fortune. ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded again and again, "That's too good, or let's set up a one-heart club!" ”

Li Jinglong was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you should be more leisurely, in case you provoke His Majesty's monstrous anger, I think you will end up?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, "The sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, anyway, I don't have to be afraid." ”

Yao Guangxiao subconsciously moved the stool back, "It's still the same sentence, Lao Wei is only responsible for dividends." You, I have nothing to do with it. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "We will not engage in small circles, let alone form parties for personal gain, everything is above board and fair, worthy of heaven and earth, this is the foundation of our life!" ”

was Xu Jingchang talking eloquently, when someone outside coughed, and as soon as he turned around, Zhu Di came in.

I saw Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Neng, and Li Jinglong hurriedly get up and salute Zhu Di.

They were extremely fast, obviously deaf and clear-sighted, and knew that there was someone outside the door.

Xu Jingchang didn't hear anything, Zhu Gaoxu was engrossed in listening to Xu Jingchang's flickering, and he didn't notice it. It's a little embarrassing at this point.

"Your Majesty (Father)!"

Zhu Di glared at the two of them, "Xu Jingchang, the Ministry of Rites is waste, the Hanlin Academy is sour Confucian, and the Honglu Temple is a rice bucket...... My officials are in your mouth, and they are so unbearable? Also, you can't wait to take power, what are you going to do? ”

Xu Jingchang said calmly: "Naturally, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for overseas trade, every penny can fall into the hands of His Majesty." ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, simply pulled over a chair, and sat down.

"Tell me, blatant fraud in the imperial court office, and pondering to deceive the vassal state, this is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Jingchang suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty asked this, most likely you don't know what the North Korean envoys are doing." I said that the Ministry of Rites is a waste, but in fact, it is polite, they are simply corpses and vegetarian meals, occupying the pit and not shitting. ”

The more Zhu Di listened, the more wrong he became, "Xu Jingchang, I can tell you, if you talk nonsense and frame loyal ministers." Even if I feel sorry for you and your aunt protects you, the punishment you deserve is not indispensable at all. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not talk nonsense." Since you plan to do business with North Korea, you must do a good job in front of you. At this time, the envoys of North Korea, as well as his subordinates, were collecting the anecdotes of His Majesty all over the world, and their shadows could be found in taverns and teahouses. ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "Really? ”

At this time, Xu Jingchang nodded his hand and called Wu Shan over.

"If you reply to Your Majesty, the minister is following your lordship's orders to feel the situation in North Korea. As a result, the minister found out that they were really collecting messy things, and asked for them by name, and asked for ......"

"What do you want?"

"Your Majesty is cruel and unkind, slaughtering Jianwen's former ministers, and bullying their wives and daughters......"

"Ridiculous!"

Zhu Di was furious, "It's just a small country, and they actually peep into the Son of Heaven, what are they going to do?" ”

At this time, Xu Jingchang said quietly: "At present, the lord of North Korea has imprisoned his father and seized power, and they are peeking into the secrets of the kingdom, and it seems that it is not difficult to guess their intentions. ”

Both countries are not righteous, as long as it is proved that Zhu Di is worse than them, it seems that their position can be more stable.

It's just that this problem is different!

"I uphold the precepts of my father and the emperor, and it is difficult to worship the heavens. The king of Joseon imprisoned his biological father, seized power, and was disobedient and unfilial, which is simply punishable! I am different from him, I am a filial son, he is a rebel, a rebel! Zhu Di yelled as hard as he could, furious.

Xu Jingchang was still arching the fire next to him, "Your Majesty, what is there to submit to the Ministry of Rites for this kind of thing?" The state of the vassal state, do they know? ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but take a deep breath, and sighed: "Corrupt Confucianism misleads the country!" I will punish him severely! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly: "Father, if this is true, there is no problem in selling some fake bronzes to North Korea, right?" ”

"Humph! This matter is true, even if it is to send troops to destroy them, it is a matter of course! ”
