Chapter 636: The Second and the Third
With the departure of the feudal kings in the palace.
Zhu Gaosui was standing at the gate of the palace, waiting for Zhu Gaoxu.
Suddenly, I felt a sinking on my shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"The third!"
"Second brother?"
Zhu Gaosui's face was overjoyed.
Zhu Gaoxu said: "Let's go, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good drink again!"
As he spoke, as soon as his arm was forced, Zhu Gaosui felt a huge force coming.
Immediately, he involuntarily walked forward.
Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said in surprise: "I haven't seen you for two years, and the second brother's arm strength is a lot bigger!"
"Let's guard Beiping Mansion, and when we have nothing to do, we will practice every day......
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but look Zhu Gaosui up and down.
"However, your kid has been at sea for a year, and his body has become less strong!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaosui suddenly perked up.
"Second brother, don't you know how good overseas is, ...... everywhere?"
"Alright, alright!"
The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched slightly, put his arm on Zhu Gaosui's shoulder, and subconsciously exerted force, and Zhu Gaosui almost strangled Zhu Gaosui without gasping.
"Third child, you and I grew up with bare buttocks, so don't brag like this to trick me!"
Zhu Gaosui hurriedly said, "Ahem...... Hehe, second brother, you have wronged me, at least ninety percent of what I said...... Seventy percent of them are true!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Gaoxu's expression narrowed, "Is it really that good overseas?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother, let's go, let's go back first, while drinking well, I'll tell you more about it!"
"Let's go!"
Zhu Gaoxu strode forward.
……
In a gorgeous and extravagant warm pavilion, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu sat on either side of a dining table full of various foods and wines.
With two glasses of wine in his stomach, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaosui opposite.
"When will you be able to endure like this?"
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
Zhu Gaosui had an ignorant expression, as if he didn't know what Zhu Gaoxu was referring to.
"Pretending?"
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened.
"Hahaha, don't be annoyed, second brother......
Zhu Gaosui laughed, and hurriedly looked flattering.
"Second brother, don't worry, I remember, I've always remembered...... That's going to tell you how good it is to be overseas."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction and looked at Zhu Gaosui quietly.
Zhu Gaosui didn't continue to rub it off, and spoke directly.
"Second brother, you should have heard those businessmen describe the situation overseas, but those businessmen have a lowly status and are different from us!
They only have a few ships and hundreds of escorts, and overseas can make a lot of money for them, but it will also be accompanied by a lot of dangers.
After all, there are so many small countries overseas, and some small countries are not so friendly to my Ming people.
In addition, when those merchants went to sea, they began to be lawless, wantonly plundering, and killing people......
However, we are the kings of the Ming Dynasty!
If we go to sea, we will be escorted by at least 10,000 well-armed generals.
Today, I am strong in the Ming Dynasty, and the overseas barbarians are weak, and I have a thousand soldiers, and I can fight tens of thousands of barbarians!
I lead an army of 10,000, and any barbarians overseas, we can conquer it if we want, and occupy it if we want......
Overseas, for us, is a treasure land without an owner!"
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask, "Are those barbarians overseas really rich?"
"No!"
Zhu Gaosui shook his head slowly, "Second brother, those barbarians overseas, one is more barren than the other!"
"Then why do you say that overseas is a treasure land?"
"Second brother, those barbarians overseas are uncivilized, they have rare treasures, spices, copper, silver, and gold mines, but they can't recognize them, and they don't know how to make money with those things, they are very barren.
However, we know how to mine it, how to use it, we just need to ship it back to Daming, or ......."
"So, Dad really didn't deceive the vassal kings, overseas is really a treasure land for our Ming vassal kings?"
Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned.
Zhu Gaosui pointed at Zhu Gaoxu, his face was even more surprised, and he was a little angry, "Second brother, you dare to doubt your father?"
Zhu Gaoxu said with a look of disdain: "You kid don't pretend to be pretentious, we three brothers, from childhood to adulthood, have always counted your kid's favorite troublemaker, and often provoke your father to beat you!"
"It's already so old, and the second brother actually revealed the bad things when he was a child!"
Zhu Gaosui was also not convinced by Zhu Gaoxu, and asked, "Second brother is like this, don't you want to hear me talk about overseas affairs?"
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened, "Don't you kid think that if you conquer a vassal country overseas, you can be arrogant in front of me?"
Zhu Gaosui subconsciously shrunk his neck, then reacted, stiffened his neck again, and his face was full of pride.
"It's rare, the second brother will be angry and ashamed!"
Zhu Gaoxu scolded directly, "You kid fart!"
Zhu Gaosui ignored it and continued to ask, "Then let me ask, second brother, do you know corn and sweet potatoes?"
"Da Ming Xiangrui Food, which Dad praised, I have heard it many times!"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu remembered something and continued, "I just need to wait for the good seeds of corn and sweet potatoes to be cultivated, and I will ask my father for some and plant them in Beiping first!"
"The second brother actually knows it......
Zhu Gaosui sighed softly and continued to ask, "Then I don't know, has the second brother ever tasted corn and sweet potatoes?"
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes shrank, a little incredulous.
"Have you ever tasted it?"
"Nature!"
Zhu Gaosui nodded slowly.
Zhu Gaoxu remembered something, and looked relieved, "Yes, the corn and sweet potatoes were all found from overseas barbarians, and you have tasted them!"
Zhu Gaosui said proudly, "Second brother is wrong, I tasted it at the Dingguo Mansion!"
"Dingguo Gongfu?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face changed slightly.
"That's nature!"
Zhu Gaosui said proudly, "Although I am overseas, I have already conquered a feudal country. However, I have never heard of corn and sweet potatoes, and I don't know the taste of corn and sweet potatoes.
If it weren't for Dingguo Gong, no one would know how delicious corn and sweet potatoes are!
After I came back, I listened to what my mother said, so I went to the Dingguo Mansion and tasted it!
Coincidentally, the corn and sweet potatoes on the Dingguo Mansion also happen to be in the stage of ripening, and they are also the best time to eat......
Dingguo Gong specially asked me to make it for me, and the taste of corn and sweet potatoes ......."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"It's tender, it's fragrant, it's sweet...... It's the best I've ever tasted when I've grown so big!"
"Is it really that delicious?"
Zhu Gaoxu's throat squirmed up and down slightly, but there was still some suspicion on his face.
"Second brother, don't pretend, I saw you swallowing your saliva quietly!"
Zhu Gaosui directly debunked.
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Gaoxu stiffened his mouth, and then asked with curiosity on his face.
"Third child, are the corn and sweet potatoes really that delicious?"
"It's nature!"
Zhu Gaosui said with a yearning expression, "Second brother, you don't know yet, as early as after the corn and sweet potatoes came back, my father and eldest brother, as well as Dingguo Gong, had already tasted it.
In addition, half a month ago, my father also took my eldest brother and mother to the Dingguo Mansion
It's to eat the corn and sweet potatoes!"
Zhu Gaoxu: "......"
"Also, in the experimental field of General Mountain outside the city, Dad also asked those Guo family members to cultivate three acres of corn and ten acres of sweet potatoes.
Now, the corn and sweet potatoes are just ripe, and my father was afraid that someone would steal them, so he sent some guards and eunuchs to take care of them!"
"Daddy still sent someone to watch?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was shocked again.
"yes!"
Zhu Gaosui looked pityful, "If those people weren't watching, I could still take people to eat more corn and sweet potatoes!"
That taste is really comparable to dragon liver and phoenix marrow......
"You seem to have eaten dragon liver and phoenix marrow!"
Zhu Gaoxu pursed his lips, and then stared at Zhu Gaosui again, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Do you kid think that you can't handle those guards and eunuchs alone, and you want to take me to the experimental field outside the city and get the corn and sweet potatoes back?"
"How can the second brother slander me like this?"
Zhu Gaosui looked angry, "Is the second brother going to invite me to a banquet, or do you have to force me to tell you those overseas things?"
I'm just telling you, how good is overseas for us vassal kings?
Unexpectedly, a good heart, but it was regarded as a wolf's heart and dog lungs, sad, sad, the brother of a mother's compatriots, he actually distrusted it so much......
As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui had already gotten up and walked out.
"The third?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked uncertain.
Zhu Gaosui was full of anger, and walked out in a daze: "Second brother, don't stop me, I won't listen to you this time......
Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of surprise, and he really didn't stretch out his hand to stop it.
And Zhu Gaosui is getting more and more helpless.
Seeing that he had already walked out of the door, his second brother really didn't stop him.
"Your Highness?"
At the door, Ji Gang also looked at Zhu Gaosui with a look of surprise, the plot they expected was not like this.
"Let's go!"
Since he had already come out, Zhu Gaosui had no reason to continue to return, so he got in the car directly and went back.
And in the warm pavilion, a school captain also appeared in front of Zhu Gaoxu with a strange face, and reported respectfully.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Zhao has left!"
"Really gone?"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was shocked.
The captain said with a look of certainty: "The last general saw His Royal Highness King Zhao with his own eyes and led people away!"
"The third ......"
Zhu Gaoxu sighed slightly, a little helpless.
"Forget it, ignore this!"
The lieutenant nodded slowly, and wanted to retreat. The matter between you and your brothers, these guards, have no qualifications to intervene.
But he suddenly heard Zhu Gaoxu say.
"You send someone to investigate and investigate, outside the city, the General Mountain test field, can there be corn and sweet potatoes, can there be guards?"
"The last will obey!"
The lieutenant was heartbroken and hurriedly responded.
Then, he went down and personally led people to investigate.
At the same time.
In the halls of the Jingshi or in the palace.
The vassal kings, all in twos and threes, were close to each other, and they sat together, eating and eating, while talking about His Majesty's banquet for them today.
However, this time, they no longer have the previous sad faces, but all of them are full of lightheartedness, even yearning, or a little indignant.
His Majesty summoned them this time only to warn them, and did not punish them for some of their things.
However, what His Majesty said was that those gentry and officials of the Ming Dynasty made them troublesome.
Of course, they are the happiest
Yes, I heard what Zhu Gaosui said about the overseas situation.
There are so many treasures overseas, you can let them occupy them, and then display their respective talents!
There's no such annoying civilian government yet......
Moreover, the words of those merchants and gentry are no longer credible.
Who knows, are those people also plotting those barbarian lands overseas?
Listening to Zhu Gaosui's kid, opposite his Zhao State, there is a Han man who has gathered to be the king, and he dares to call him the king of Liang!
The more they thought about it, the more they felt a sense of urgency.
It's just that if they want to lead the troops out, they have to train those bastard boys in the family, so that they can take care of the family!
However, those boys in the family are all only sensual, and they are ashamed of the imperial exam!
Of course, there are also vassal kings who don't want to go out and suffer, but they also want to give them this vein and occupy a vassal kingdom overseas!
Then, the only way to do this is to raise those bastard boys in their family to be able to take charge of their own affairs, so that they can lead their troops to attack the barbarians......
As a result, these vassal kings began to have a headache again!
……
Intrauterine.
Looking at the recital in his hand, Zhu Di looked proud.
"Prince, with the stimulation of the third child, this group of vassal kings will be in a hurry!"
"Father, Emperor Shengming!"
Zhu Gaochi was also happy, "Father, don't say it's these vassal kings, if the child is not a prince, but a vassal king, he also wants to go back immediately, take his three guards, and go to the sea to occupy a piece of treasure land for future generations!"
Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi angrily, "Do you think overseas is really that good?"
"Daddy?"
Zhu Gaochi was startled.
"Hmph!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "There are hundreds of small countries in the South and Western Oceans, each barbarian has its own culture, some are warlike, some are cowardly, if you want to conquer and conquer, how can it be so easy to think?
The third child was able to go so smoothly because of the batch of muskets and bombs we gave him, and there happened to be a war there, so he could take advantage of the situation.
If those vassal kings go, they will have to lead their troops to fight!
In addition, those barbarian places overseas have different environments and are prone to diseases......
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's face changed greatly, and he was a little worried.
"Dad, if those vassal kings go to sea like this, if one is folded, then the prestige of my Ming ......
"It's okay!"
Zhu Di shook his head slowly.
"In addition to King Ning, King Chu and a few of them, among the many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, how many of them have the strength to go to sea?
As for those barbarians overseas, how could they hurt King Ning and King Chu......
Zhu Gaochi said again: "Dad, in case those vassal kings are hungry for profit and want to go to sea......
Zhu Di smiled faintly, "Then they also have to settle their palace, otherwise when they go to sea, when they come back, their vassal kingdom will be gone!"
"Father, Emperor Shengming!"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes shrank, and he instantly understood his father's thoughts.
……
On the other side.
I inquired for a day.
Zhu Gaoxu's guards finally found out the situation in the experimental field outside the city.
"So, those corn and sweet potatoes were really planted by my father in the experimental fields outside the city? And it's almost ripe?"
"Returning to Your Highness, exactly!"
"There are only two hundred households, and a few eunuchs are watching?"
"Your Highness......
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the captain.
The lieutenant shut up.
"Prepare the car, follow me to the test field outside the city to have a look!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The lieutenant saluted and hurriedly walked out.
