The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Empress Dowager Li was kind when it was time to show mercy.But once it becomes ruthless, it will never hold back.Although Mingming knew that this was an excellent opportunity to take Zhu Xuanqi off his back.But many people are afraid that even if they are ripped off, they will be more or less merciful.I can't tell.Hollowed out all the people.They didn't even leave money for meals.

Of course.On the matter of Zhu Xuanqi.Queen Mother Li has indeed done a good job.After all, I took 100 million taels.He also left 22 taels of silver for Zhu Xuanqi.In any case, it was enough for Zhu Xuanqi's Shu Palace for a year.certainly.The Shu Palace is not just to support the people in the Palace.There are others to feed.But this is more than 20 taels of silver.It is also sufficient.It can be said that Queen Mother Li got the money.That's just right.

only.This is also a bit too good.Obviously.Queen Mother Li's asking price on this matter.Not just researched.And the strike is also extremely ruthless.

But if that's all.Not to mention whether Zhu Xuanqi has the ability.Or whether he wants to accept it or not.At least if only so.It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Xuanqi not to agree.Even Zhu Xuanqi would happily agree to this matter.certainly.The premise is that Zhu Xuanqi really wants to see Zhu Xuanluo again.

only.Obviously, Empress Dowager Li has a thorough understanding of Zhu Xuanqi.Zhu Xuanqi could accept this condition.same.Empress Dowager Li could also have expected that Zhu Xuanqi could accept this condition.

certainly.No matter how much the Empress Dowager Li predicts things like a god.It is also impossible to predict when Zhu Xuanqi accepted this condition.What kind of mood is it?But obviously.Empress Dowager Li understood.Now that Zhu Xuanqi can accept this.Then make another request.He can also accept it.certainly.Empress Dowager Li's idea is.This condition is complementary to the one above.It's just that she didn't consider whether Zhu Xuanqi could accept it or not.

And that condition.After Zhang Fan found out.Also thought about it.If Zhu Xuanqi can accept the first condition calmly.certainly.He has accepted it now.And after Zhu Xuanqi accepted the first condition.Let me bring up the second word.Zhang Fan really felt that this was a bit deceptive.But since Queen Mother Li said so.He also had to convey.

But in Zhang Fan's opinion.This second condition.Zhu Xuanqi wanted to accept the words.It is indeed somewhat difficult.certainly.Perhaps Zhu Xuanqi had already figured this out.What's more, since the matter of 100 million taels of silver has been agreed.Then this second condition.It's not that difficult to accept it.

only……

"There are still conditions." Zhu Xuanqi did not expect that Queen Mother Li still wanted to make things difficult for him.But he was just surprised.But I don't think there is anything too much. "Please tell Master Zhang." After all. 100 million things.He has already nodded.Then the following conditions.Thinking about it, it can't be more excessive than this.certainly.He also considered that Queen Mother Li might propose some very weird conditions.But these are irrelevant to Zhu Xuanqi today.As long as he can see Zhu Xuanluo again.So it doesn't matter if he accepts it.

"The second condition..." Zhang Fan paused.It's not a joke.Instead, he was thinking about how to speak to make Zhu Xuanqi more acceptable. "If the first prince has already agreed, it is natural to talk about the second one. Of course. If the first prince doesn't agree, then there is no need to mention the second one. But I don't mean that. In fact, this The two conditions are in one piece.

"What the queen mother means is that since the prince has agreed to the first condition. And the one million taels of silver is really not a small amount. The prince is the palace after all. No matter how frugal you are on weekdays, the palace After all, it is a royal family. You must always maintain the demeanor of the royal family. Some things can be saved, but some things cannot be saved."

"That's it. I still want to thank the Queen Mother for her concern." Zhu Xuanqi heard this.smiled.So said.It's just the helplessness in his smile.Even more than before. "However, Mr. Zhang hasn't said yet. What is the second condition that the queen mother raised?"

"The Queen Mother means..." Zhang Fan hesitated again.He spoke slowly. "In order to make the prince's life more comfortable this year. Find a way to help the prince save money. As the king of Shu, the prince has 2000 people under his command. Now Sichuan is also very stable. The Bo people have also been conquered. In addition On weekdays, there are 5 people from General Liu Xian Liu stationed there to guard against. Therefore, the 2000 troops of the prince are unnecessary. In this case, the meaning of the queen mother is to let the 2000 troops of the prince. Shrink It's five hundred. In this way, the cost of raising these people will not be as high as it used to be. So..."

this time.Zhu Xuanqi was really silent.And his complexion also became very bad.ask for money.Forget it.Don't say 100 million.Even if Queen Mother Li asked him to bring all the money to the palace.There is not a penny left in the Shu Palace.At best, Zhu Xuanqi was just annoyed.But it doesn't matter.

No matter what.He is also a prince.And it is the king of Shu.It is the king of Shu who has passed down so many generations.With his status as King of Shu.Even if it is a penny in this year, it will not be spent.No one is released.I can live on.

not to mention.Queen Mother Li just asked for 100 million.He also left him more than 20 taels of silver.

That's more than 20 taels of silver.Not a small amount.Practically speaking.If the Shu Palace doesn't do any big things.One year down.Being able to use up to 5 taels of silver is already a big deal.Of course, the matter of the palace is uncertain after all.

And the 2000 men under Zhu Xuanqi.In fact, it costs nothing at all.indeed.Keeping an army of 2000 people.It does cost money.But actually.Zhu Xuanqi.No.It should be the Shu Palace.These are already on track.

Although those people are soldiers under Zhu Xuanqi.But at the same time, since they have entered the hands of the King of Shu.It is equivalent to setting up a home here.In this way, these people also live here on weekdays.Actually.Zhu Xuanqi's 2000 people.The resident is basically equivalent to a village.Those soldiers practiced on weekdays.Each family has its own field.

So for Zhu Xuanqi.These 2000 people want to feed.There is no need for Zhu Xuanqi to pay any money at all.What he paid was only some land under the fiefdom of the king of Shu.

certainly.If there is a real war.Prepare luggage.Or the replacement of weapons and armor.These still have to be paid for by Zhu Xuanqi.But now is also a period of peace.There is no need for these at all.Those old horses and equipment.The calculation formula is stiff and takes another year.There is no problem at all.

therefore.After asking Zhu Xuanqi to take out 100 million to the palace.He didn't even need to lay off those 500 people to survive.

But this request of Queen Mother Li is just like this.And actually.Queen Mother Li's request.It's just seeing Zhu Xuanqi's strength in a disguised form.Zhu Xuanqi was the most powerful feudal lord under the Ming Dynasty.Except that the fiefdom is very large.The more important reason is that the number of private soldiers allowed under his command is also the largest.

Now Queen Mother Li wants him to lay off so many people.The meaning is self-explanatory.

certainly.Queen Mother Li did not touch his fief.It's not that I don't want to.but can not.After all, the king of Shu counts from the beginning.It was sealed by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.And that fiefdom.Although it is said that the lineage of King Shu has a large population.No matter how bad these people are.That is also surnamed Zhu.Always have a place to live.So such a big fief.Even if they are all under Zhu Xuanqi's name.But there are many that are not in his control.

But anyway.These fiefdoms were sealed by Zhu Yuanzhang back then.Even if it is Empress Dowager Li, what do you think.It is absolutely impossible to move it.

even.Even now, Queen Mother Li asked him to remove 500 people.But she has no right to say that Zhu Xuanqi will not be able to recall 500 people in the future.people of this size.It was also fixed at the beginning.In other words.This is also ancestral training.Since it is ancestral training.Then it cannot be changed.

But this is not such a simple matter for Zhu Xuanqi.If he agreed to Queen Mother Li's conditions this time.Those 500 people were laid off.Then in the future.At least in Zhu Xuanqi, he was still the king of Shu.Or when Empress Dowager Li was still in power.It is impossible for him to get back 2000 people.Otherwise.This is tantamount to openly confronting Queen Mother Li.

And at that time.Even Queen Mother Li has no reason to attack Zhu Xuanqi.But that is the Queen Mother after all.There are as many ways to deal with him as possible.Even if it is not dealt with.Just making things difficult.That was enough for Zhu Xuanqi to drink a pot.

That is.If Zhu Xuanqi also agreed to the condition of Queen Mother Li now.That is.In the future, he will be subject to Queen Mother Li forever.Absolutely not.There will be no more surprises.

certainly.If so.For Queen Mother Li.That is absolutely the case.It is absolutely impossible for any accidents to happen again.And Zhu Xuanqi will also be the king of Shu with his tail between his legs from now on.Absolutely not in publicity.It is absolutely impossible to have any troubles again.

only.the most important.I'm afraid it's not something that will cause trouble.For Zhu Xuanqi.The most important thing is probably the impact of these 2000 people becoming 500 people.

This impact is definitely not a small matter.In fact, only Zhu Xuanqi could imagine.Real impact.There are many kinds.If these possibilities are listed one by one.I can't finish talking all day and night.

But now is not the time for him to think about it.The most current is.Will he accept the condition of Queen Mother Li?

Accepted.Empress Dowager Li felt relieved of him.It can also let him see Zhu Xuanluo again.It's just that.It will be difficult for Zhu Xuanqi in the future.

But if not accepted.It's not just that I can't see Zhu Xuanluo.I'm afraid Empress Dowager Li will be wary of him again.

Which one should you choose?Zhu Xuanqi also hesitated a little.
