Chapter 49: King Han goes berserk
Zhu Zhanji looked serious, "Uncle Qing, you tell the truth, does the imperial grandfather want to change the crown prince?" β
"Guess."
"We're our own people." Zhu Zhanji said affectionately, "You're looking at me... My dad grew up, and you have a deep relationship......"
The people of the old Zhu family are all human spirits, except for Hanhan...... Li Qing sighed and said with a smile, "Why don't you want to think about it, why did your grandfather let you go with the army?" β
Zhu Zhanji was stunned, "You mean ......?"
"No, I didn't say anything." Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Let's go, I'll teach you to practice archery." β
"Gotcha." Zhu Zhanji agreed with a smile.
Although Li Qing didn't say it explicitly, the smart Zhu Zhanji still understood the meaning of his words.
β¦β¦
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu was in charge of the country, he implemented the national policy.
ββIntensify efforts to open the canal and build a new capital!
I have to say that Han Han is still very hard-working, although he does not have the talent of a little fat, but he is very diligent, and energetic, he eats and lives in the imperial study, and he doesn't go home.
Although it is expressive, Han Han still wants to do things well and get his father's affirmation.
Zhu Gaoxu supervised the country, and Wenchen was cold in his heart, but fortunately, Zhu Di did not change the crown prince, which made the civil official group feel a little better.
Zhu Di's hand was very effective, the prince was still grounded, and no one dared to oppose the expedition.
For fear that one would not be good, Zhu Di would change the position of the prince.
Zhu Gaoxu is quite supportive of the expedition, as long as his father wants to do something, he will support it.
For a time, the construction of the river and the capital was carried out on a large scale, with the transfer of troops and the transportation of grain; Warframes, cannons...... As long as Zhu Di needs, he will meet them all.
The court spends money like running water, and the hard-earned belongings of Xiaopang are pulled out by Hanhan.
Xiaopang was grounded, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, was sent to prison, and the remaining two waiters didn't dare to talk to Zhu Gaoxugang, how the king of Han commanded, how they did it, and it wasn't their own money, they spent it.
Anyway, the Ming Law contains a clear text: do what you are ordered to do, and you will not be held accountable!
In a flash, two months passed, and it was time to set out on the expedition.
In the imperial study, Zhu Di, who had not asked about political affairs for a long time, suddenly visited.
Zhu Gaoxu was watching the recital, and when he saw his father coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Long live your son's visit to your father." β
"Aang, get up!"
"Thank you, Father." Zhu Gaoxu got up, "Yongqing Hou, the master is here." β
Li Qing and the others saluted, "I've seen King Han." β
After a brief etiquette, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Is there any order for my father to come today?" β
Zhu Di's face was hot, he was here to find fault today, he was out on the expedition, and he was really not at ease with the second prisoner.
He walked over to the imperial desk and sat down, and said tentatively, "Are you tired these days?" Do you want to take a break? β
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Zhu Gaoxu's answer was very official, "How can you be tired of being loyal to the country?" β
Zhu Di originally wanted to let the second child step down amicably, but seeing that he was so ignorant of current affairs, he had to use a subordinate strategy.
"I ask you, how much money does the treasury have now?"
"Huh? This ......" Zhu Gaoxu was asked, he only cared about the flowers, and said dryly, "Erchen... Erchen went back to check. β
"I don't know how much money the treasury has, what country are you in charge of?" Zhu Di was furious.
Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused, he didn't understand why his father's face changed so quickly, yesterday he was still a mouthful, why is this like this today?
"Erchen, I'm going to check."
"No need." Zhu Di snorted coldly, "You have only been in charge of the country for two months, but you have exhausted the treasury, since you don't know, then I will tell you!"
There are only 300,000 taels of silver left in the treasury and 4 million stone of grain, and there are still many months before the taxes are paid into Beijing, and this money is enough for officials, nobles, vassal kings, and palace expenses;
Once there is a drought or flood in a place, how to help the victims? β
"This ......" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and a little at a loss, "Father, you know, the progress of the construction of the capital and the canal project has been accelerated several times, and there are ...... The 500,000-strong army went on the Northern Expedition, as well as the newly added artillery and battle armor......"
"You're quibbling, I don't listen to that." Zhu Di said angrily, "I'll ask you, what should I do now?" β
"I ......" Zhu Gaoxu was anxious, angry and aggrieved, "Father, I didn't put a single son in my pocket, I spent a lot of money, but ......"
He turned his head away and said in a muffled voice: "Where is the money spent, don't you count it in your heart, father?" β
"Good boy, you've learned to talk back, haven't you?" Zhu Di can be regarded as caught, and he is about to beat people up when he rolls up his sleeves.
Li Qing and Dao Yan stopped him left and right, "The emperor is angry." β
This scene was rehearsed in advance, and only Zhu Gaoxu was kept in the dark.
Zhu Gaoxu's face was injured, "Father, the son is really doing his best!" β
"Do you still have the face to say that you do your best?"
"I ......" Zhu Gaoxu was furious, "The treasury has so much money and grain, and you want to repair the capital and the Northern Expedition, what can I do?" β
"If you can't do it, don't imprison the country." Zhu Di finally waited for the opportunity, and immediately said, "Let's let your eldest brother be in prison!" β
"You're ......!"
By now, Zhu Gaoxu is no longer simple, and he also realizes that he was used as a gun by Lao Tzu.
Han Han's temper came up, he ripped off his python robe, and said hatefully: "I don't serve yet, I'll go back to the clouds. South. β
Zhu Di roared: "Hurry up!" β
"Get out of here!" Zhu Gaoxu roared back, his voice louder than Lao Tzu.
Li Qing played a round and said, "King Han, King Han, don't go......!" β
Zhu Gaoxu didn't leave, but when Li Qing said this, he had to leave, flicked his sleeves hatefully, and said a scene:
"There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master!"
After that, no matter how Lao Tzu reacts, he turns around and leaves.
"This bastard ......!" Zhu Di was furious.
Li Qing and Dao Yan were speechless, in comparison, the fourth child was a real bastard.
Zhu Diwu was angry with himself for a while, and then he realized that he was sorry: "It's bad, you can't let the second child go, Li Qing, you go and persuade him." β
No one looked at the boss, and he was not at ease.
"I'm not going." Li Qing shook his head, he can't be too Zhu Di, Han Han has been played like this, he can't help it.
"Good boy, second bastard, you're a bastard too, right?!"
Zhu Di said angrily, "Li Qing listened to the order and rushed to the Han Palace, if you can't keep people, you can also roll up and get out!" β
"And this good thing?" Li Qing was surprised.
"You ......" Zhu Di was so angry that he smoked, "take my knife." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhu Di is the emperor in the end, and Li Qing can't let him get off the stage, "The emperor is angry, I'll go." β
ββ
Han Wangfu.
Zhu Gaoxu was directing his subordinates to pack up his belongings, and this time, he was really injured.
"King Han really wants to leave?" Li Qing said tentatively.
"Go aside."
Zhu Gaoxu was enough for Li Qing, and his former feelings disappeared with a handful of golden beans.
"King Han, why are you ...... Can't figure it out? β
"Yes, yes, you're all smart, I'm stupid, right?" Zhu Gaoxu roared, "Can't I stop playing?" β
Li Qing: "......"
Zhu Gaoxu was angry, and he had a reason to be angry.
"That...... King Han, would you like to listen to me? β
"I don't listen."
Li Qing shook his head and sighed: "That is the case, the emperor's hardship...... Alas, don't say it. β
"Hey, hey, don't go yet." When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he hurriedly stopped Li Qing, who was about to leave, and said suspiciously, "What is his trouble?" β
Li Qingzheng said, "King Han, you spent all the money in the treasury, right?" β
"I'm ......"
"Yes, the King of Han is also dedicated to the country." Li Qing interrupted his complaints, "But it's also true that the treasury has no money, the emperor's Northern Expedition will take away a large number of generals, and no one will support you at that time, and most of the ministers are towards your eldest brother, in this situation, can you have fun?" β
"I ......" Zhu Gaoxu choked for a moment, and the anger on his face gradually disappeared, "Then he can't say that about me, I haven't been back to my house a few times in the past two months, but in exchange for ......"
"Huh?" Li Qing looked like he was digging out his heart, "The emperor still loves you, and now that the treasury is empty like this, it really makes you take care of it, and I worry about you;
That's why the emperor threw this mess at your eldest brother, but you didn't expect that you couldn't understand his good intentions at all. β
Li Qing pretended to be displeased and said, "Didn't I say, King Han, you are indeed excessive, who does the emperor like, don't you know in your heart?" β
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, and the old cake resurfaced in his mind again: the son of the world has many diseases, and you should encourage him; Dick, you really look like me......
"It turns out... And so it was. Zhu Gaoxu was not angry, and he didn't let his subordinates move things.
He pulled Li Qing to the side, took it out in his arms, and took out more than a dozen golden beans, a little less, but Li Qing didn't dislike it.
"Mr. Li, what should I do now?"
Li Qing was a little unaccustomed to receiving gifts for the first time, so he cleared his throat, "That, you go to the palace now and admit your mistakes to the emperor." β
"This ......" Zhu Gaoxu hesitated a little, "Sir, you don't know, my father he... Beating me up is like beating a dog, I'm afraid ......."
"Afraid of what?" Li Qingyi Bo Yuntian, "I'll go with you." β
After being pitted by Li Qing for a long time, he was suddenly treated like this by Li Qing, and for a while, Zhu Gaoxu was inexplicably moved.
So, he took out a small handful of golden beans from his sleeve, "Mr. Trouble." β
"Huh...... You're welcome. Li Qing accepted it with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh: The simple golden beans are really easy to earn!
