Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 586 Shameless Blessed King

"Someone tie up this beast for me!"

The old butler waited for a long time, and then stretched out his hand to ask the guards of the palace to tie up the troublesome butler. When the butler heard this, he was furious: "Bastard, my sister is the eighteenth wife of the prince, who dares to tie me up!"

The butler stared at me like I'm so awesome, who would dare to mess with me?

In the end, I saw the guards of the palace turned cold, and went straight up to control the butler. Your sister is the eighteenth wife. I don’t know how many concubines the prince has executed these years, but the old housekeeper just looked at the prince. Growing up, how many times has the wife changed over the years, but the old butler is still standing, you let these guards choose, don't they know which is more important?
The guards directly controlled the clamoring housekeeper, and the old housekeeper smiled and said: "Your envoy, this bastard has been doing evil for a long time because his sister is the prince's eighteenth concubine, and now he is even more daring to insult Lantian county magistrate." , This is treason and immorality, the crime deserves to be killed, but I still need to report this matter to my prince, and ask your envoy to take care of it, and then deal with this guy after meeting the prince, I wonder if your envoy thinks it is okay?"

The envoy of Lantian heard the words and said: "Everything is decided by the old housekeeper. I am here this time with the mission of our county lord, and I also ask the old housekeeper to inform the King of Fortune."

"Yes, yes, follow me into the living room of the mansion to sit and rest for a while, and I will invite His Royal Highness King Fu right now."

The old butler led the envoys into the Fuwang Mansion. As soon as he entered the Fuwang Mansion, he saw that it was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. Use a shabby word to describe it.

It's not that the county can't afford these expensive furniture and decorations, but because the county has spent all its money on the people's livelihood. Because of this, Lantian can flourish, and the people can live a stable and prosperous life every day. If not, with Lantian's financial resources, what kind of house does the county lord want and can't buy?
One is caring about the people of the world, and the other only knows extravagance and extravagance to satisfy one's own selfish desires. Comparing the two, it is really a judgment call. At this moment, the riches and honors in front of you are not so dazzling in the eyes of the messenger. , It's even a little ridiculous, how a pile of gold and silver can be compared with the people of the county.

Although the county lord is sitting on an ordinary pear wood chair, it is many times more expensive than the rosewood chair here. His father saved up useless gold and silver. Although he is rich, so what? He will get tired of eating lobster and abalone every day. , and although the county lord eats ordinary dishes, the hearts of the people are with him, and this is the most precious wealth in the world.

When the envoy thought about it, a trace of disdain appeared on his face involuntarily, Prince Daming was nothing more than that.

The emissary thought about it, and stopped looking at the magnificent decorations around him, and drank the tea on the table by himself.

Fu Wang's mansion, Fu Wang was sleeping peacefully at the Eighteenth Lady, snoring like thunder, sleeping like a dead pig, a charming woman had already woken up, looked at Fu Wang with a snow-white and fat belly, took a sip, and muttered in a low voice: Useless things, just two hits before handing over the gun...

dong dong dong...

Mrs. Shiba was muttering, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Mrs. Shiba was startled: "Who is it?"

Then I heard the maid outside the door say: "Madam is the old housekeeper, he said he has something to ask to see the master."

that old thing?
Mrs. Shiba frowned. She didn't deal with the old housekeeper very well. The reason was very simple. She was regarded as the master of the palace, but the old housekeeper didn't show due respect to her. My own brother wanted to be the housekeeper of the palace. I made an agreement with the prince, but the old housekeeper almost ruined the matter with a word.

"Ask him what's the matter, the prince is asleep."

At this time, Madam Shiba shouted to the outside of the house. After hearing this, there was a pause outside the house, and then the old housekeeper replied from outside the house: "Madam, wake up the prince quickly, the envoy from Lantian has arrived."

"What is Lantian not Lantian? The prince is asleep, so you ask that messenger to wait. When the prince wakes up, he will naturally go to see them."

Madam Shiba said indifferently.

The old butler heard the words and said: "Madam, that's the envoy from Lantian, you can't be neglected."

"Lantian, don't I know it's just a county? Although they are richer, they are only a mere sixth-rank no matter how rich they are. Our prince is a prince. A prince wants a sixth-rank magistrate, etc. Is there a problem?"

Hearing Mrs. Shiba's words, the old butler's face turned dark, he was a dog, and the prince didn't know why he was fascinated by it. He insisted on marrying such a low-born, ignorant brothel woman as his concubine. He was really mad. old man.

"My lord, my lord..."

The old housekeeper didn't care about that at this time, and shouted at the top of his voice outside the door, the prince who was sleeping like a pig suddenly woke up, his eyes widened and he said: "Who is making noise outside?"

Seeing that the prince woke up, the eighteenth lady immediately regained her spirits. At this moment, she looked at the prince with tears in her eyes and said, "My lord, you want to be the master of the slave family. It's Wang Zhong. I won't let him make noise and affect the prince's sleep, but he But he didn't listen, and insisted on making loud noises, which obviously didn't take the prince seriously!"

Hearing this, the prince frowned slightly, thinking that Wang Zhong is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, thinking that the prince cleared his throat and said, "Wang Zhong, why are you making so much noise?"

After hearing this, the old housekeeper immediately said: "My lord, a messenger from Lantian has come and said he wants to negotiate a business with you."

Lantian messenger?
When King Fu heard this, his drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he immediately jumped out of bed and said, "Hurry up and get my clothes."

"My lord, what are you doing in such a hurry? Isn't it just a mere sixth-rank county magistrate in Lantian? It's a third-rank governor. I haven't seen you be so cautious!"

After hearing this, King Fu glared at Madam Shiba and said, "You know nothing, help me put on my clothes quickly, or you will look good on me."

"Ah, my lord, why are you so fierce? You are a dignified Prince of Ming, you are afraid of a sixth-rank county magistrate, so if you say it, you won't be laughed at."

Mrs. Shiba began to cry and wipe away tears after being told by King Fu. King Fu felt irritable. Seeing Mrs. Shiba who was chattering there became even more angry. He kicked Mrs. Shiba to the ground and shouted: "Come on, Change clothes for me."

After saying this, all the maids came in soon. Mrs. Shiba was kicked stupid at this time. She was still a sweet baby on the bed just now. How could she turn her face and be ruthless when she got out of bed? Thinking about it, she felt wronged and burst into tears It fell off with a click, a look that I still feel sorry for.

At this moment, King Fu didn't look at her at all. After getting dressed, he went straight out of Mrs. Shiba's bedroom. When he got outside, King Fu looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Where's the person?"

The old housekeeper said: "I am having tea in the front hall."

Fu Wang nodded and said: "Well, hurry up and prepare the banquet, good wine and good food are all ready, and the envoy from Lantian must not let the envoy pick it up."

"It's the prince, I understand. By the way, the prince has one more thing to report to you. Just outside the door, the younger brother of the eighteenth lady..."

As soon as the old housekeeper told the story, Fu Wang's expression suddenly became ugly: "You bastard, it's really not enough to accomplish things, and more than to fail. I will tell you that starting tomorrow, all the expenses of Mrs. Eighteen will be reduced by [-]%, so as to give her a long memory. , As for that bastard, give me [-] boards first, and then carry it outside the banquet hall for me to let the Lantian envoy see."

"It's the prince, I understand, this is the arrangement."

The old housekeeper immediately made arrangements. At this time, Fu Wang thought about it and did not rush to see the envoy from Lantian. Instead, he went back to his bedroom to freshen up carefully. Meeting the envoy from Lantian should not be rude, at least he should retain the aura of his lord .

Thinking of this, King Fu returned to his bedroom, had a good time to wash and dress up, put on the accessories that best symbolized his identity, and looked at his majestic self in the mirror, King Fu was very satisfied.

In the banquet hall of Prince Fu's Mansion, the entire banquet hall was singing and dancing, and a group of dancers were doing their best in the banquet hall. The old butler smiled and said, "Let's enjoy the dance of our Luoyang dancers first. Your Majesty will be here soon."

Hearing this, the envoy from Lantian frowned slightly, then looked at the delicacies on the table, and frowned even deeper. This King of Fortune is really corrupt. Look at the bear paws from Liaodong, shark's fin from Fujian, and others on the table. The blood bird's nest from Nanyang, each of which is sold for silver, is enough for a family to eat and wear for a year, but here it is just a dish in Fu Wangfu.

This level of extravagance made the emissary from Lantian, who has experienced the world, feel that it is a bit too much, but the butler at the side also said: "The envoy came in a hurry, and we didn't have time to prepare. There are only these home-cooked dishes. Please forgive me."

The envoy laughed and said, "These dishes are very good. The housekeeper is too polite. You should hurry up and invite King Fu to come, so that we can discuss business matters."

The old housekeeper heard the words: "Yes, the prince is here, right now."

After finishing speaking, the old housekeeper glanced at the envoy, and immediately went to urge King Fu. Soon the singing and dancing were over, and a group of dancers came towards the arms of the Lantian envoy and the guards like rabbits jumping off.

The envoy from Lantian frowned slightly, and pushed away the dancing girl who threw herself into her arms. The rest of the guards saw that their envoy was doing nothing, and they were not easy to do, so they also pushed the dancing girl away.

"My lord, this..."

The old steward and Fu Wang saw this scene behind the scenes, and they all frowned, not looking good, the picture is very big.

There was a trace of coldness on Fu Wang's fat face and he said: "Lantian is indeed Daming's confidant, and a messenger can resist the temptation of beauty, so it is not easy to dismiss."

The old butler heard the words and said: What should we do then? "

"Meet them first."

King Fu said with a lift of the curtain and laughed, "Hahaha... The noble envoy from Lantian came all the way. My king is late, and the reception is not good. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The envoy from Lantian heard the words and knew that it was King Fu who had come, so he stood up and cupped his hands to King Fu and said, "I have seen you, my lord."

King Fu laughed when he heard the words: "Hahaha... no courtesy, no courtesy, how is your county honor?"

"The honor of the county, Lord Lao misses you."

"Hahaha... It should be, Li Xianzun is my Daming's white jade pillar that supports the sky and the sea purple gold beam. With him in Daming'an, as the clan of the Ming Dynasty, I should care about the pillars of the Ming Dynasty."

Fu Wang sat on his seat, looked at the dancing girls standing aside and said, "The envoy is not satisfied with the dancing girls? Do you want to change another batch?"

Hearing this, the envoy from Lantian shook his head and said, "Lord Fu Wang, we are here for business, so let's forget about the dancers, and we will not be blessed."

King Fu heard this and said: "Yes, young people, career is the most important thing, don't be obsessed with women, you all step down."

King Fu waved his hand, and the dancers slowly left the hall. Seeing that the girls had retreated, King Fu drank a glass of water and said, "Okay, everyone who is in the way has retreated. If you have anything to do, please tell me."

After hearing this, the envoy from Lantian said: "It's like this. Li Zicheng conquered Kaifeng, and today he descended to Dengfeng City, pressing Luoyang step by step. The goal is very clear. He wants to capture Luoyang. Your fiefdom is in Luoyang, King Fu. He is Li Zicheng. He came here for the prince, my county official, as a Daming official, still has our Daming royal family in his heart."

"So my county lord sent someone to Luoyang to meet the prince a few days ago, and brought three samples of muskets made in Lantian. At that time, the prince said that he wanted to buy it. It had already been negotiated. A musket wears ten catties of gunpowder. The prince 500 taels of silver. In addition, the trainers for matching muskets are hired at a price of 1 taels per person. You have ordered a total of 50 taels of goods. Now our muskets are ready, but His Royal Highness Fu Wang has not come to receive the goods. , I wonder what His Royal Highness Fu Wang is planning?"

The envoy from Lantian looked at King Fu and asked, King Fu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, pretending to be hesitant and said, "Well, does Wang Zhong have such a thing?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhong said, "Yes, my lord."

King Fu heard this and said, "Then why don't you pay them?"

Wang Zhongdao: "My lord, here, we don't have enough money in our mansion. In order to quell Li Zicheng's rebellion, the imperial court sent three troops, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, and Liu Zeqing, to our Luoyang to quell the rebellion. All the money I have spent has been used to buy military rations, so the Lantian deal has been shelved."

After hearing this, King Fu said: "Oh, that's it, Messenger, please forgive me, you also know that Daming's finances are beyond its means, and so many soldiers and horses are eating, drinking, and scavenging in the Henan border, all of them are pushed to my head. No money, so for this sale, you tell your family’s county lord, forget it.”

After hearing this, the envoy from Lantian looked at King Fu and said, "King Fu, when you made this deal, you begged us to come to Lantian, so now you want to turn your face and deny anyone?"

"Hey, what do you mean? At that time, Li Zicheng came in a hurry. I'm not afraid that there are no weapons in the city to defend. Now that His Majesty has sent three armies, Li Zicheng can't defeat my Luoyang city even if he reaches the sky. I don't need expensive weapons. The county’s weapon is gone, please forgive me.”

The envoy from Lantian frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "Okay, Lord Fu, you are going to cross the river and tear down the bridge."

"Why do you say that? We are not doing business with righteousness. Please tell your county lord the truth. It's not that I don't want it. I really don't have money."

King Fu said with a look of embarrassment, the emissary heard the words and thought that the county lord was right, this stingy bastard, seeing that there are too many rescuers in Luoyang, he is not willing to spend money, if this is the case, don't blame me for being cruel!
