Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 242 Grandpa, do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?

Erhu looked around, only to see Yingying and Yanyan, who were all over the room, and they gave him a blind eye.

"Reporting to the emperor, the granddaughter of Song Guogong's family is good, the daughter of the Minister of Rites' family is also very good, and the Xu family's..."

Old Zhu yawned suddenly when he heard this. He was not strong enough to drink, and he had spent a lot of energy in the Wenhua Palace before, so he felt a little sleepy after drinking two glasses of wine.

"record!"

Erhu rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"The humble job looks good..."

"Then write it down for us!"

"Order the painter in the palace to paint portraits of all the girls, and let the grandson personally choose them in a few days!"

"promise!"

After Lao Zhu explained the matter, he yawned and slipped out of Kunning Palace.However, after leaving the Kunning Palace and being blown by the cold wind, he became more energetic, so he ordered Li Shi who was carrying his shoulders to speak.

"Take us to Jinshen Hall to have a look!"

Not long after, Lao Zhu came to the Jinshen Hall and saw a room full of "sacred stones", his eyes widened immediately.

When he was listening to the chanting by the ceremonial officer in Fengtian Temple, he only felt that the sacred stone was repeated a bit too much. Now that he saw the stones all over the ground, he realized how much evil that Ni Sun had done!

He even had a premonition that it won't be long before the folk rumors spread that he is a faint king who likes auspiciousness...

"This rebellious grandson is indeed a bit too much!"

Hearing the emperor's tone, Erhu secretly sweated for Zhu Yunxi.

Generally speaking, the calmer the emperor's tone, the greater the anger in his heart.

If he was really so angry that he jumped and scolded, it would be no big deal.

"My lord, the young master is just a young man with no malice..."

"Humph!"

"Do you still need to say that?"

"It's just that our old face is almost lost by him!"

"Take us back and stare at him for a while, and then deal with him after we have recovered enough energy!"

"We warn you, if you dare to report this time, we will eunuch you and make you a eunuch!"

When the two tigers heard this, they were so frightened that they clamped their tails.

"My lord, don't worry!"

"The humble job is not going anywhere today, just honestly stand guard at the gate of the emperor!"

When Lao Zhu was yawning and going to catch up on sleep, the lottery had already started at Dahontang.

Zhu Yunxi had already ordered people to put a number label on each seat, and then put the corresponding label on a small wooden ball, threw it into a jar and rolled it back and forth.

Zhu Yunxi prepared a lot of good things for everyone to get the prize.

There are all kinds of toys such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, hardcover story books, clay puppets and so on.

But everyone was just staring at the music box on the open space, and all of them tried their best to only want this.

The result of the lottery is not ideal, at least not ideal for Zhu Yunxi.

Because he only won a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the music box was taken away by his fourteenth uncle Zhu Lai.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the crying Zhu Yunxi, so he had to give him the big bird.

Zhu Yunxi got the big bird he had dreamed of, so he stopped crying.

"Third brother, how long can this bird live, don't keep it for three or two years and die of old age, I will be sad..."

"Don't worry, this bird has a long lifespan. It won't kill you if you send it away!"

Zhu Yunxi was really relieved when he heard this, and then, under the envy of all the Wang uncles, he bounced back to the palace with the big bird.

Zhu Yunxuan saw all this in his eyes, and secretly admired Zhu Yunxie's generosity.

He asked himself that if it was him, he would probably be reluctant to give these divine birds to his fourth brother.

But when Zhu Yunxi saw his fourth brother crying, he gave the big bird to his younger brother without even a stumbling block. This kind of friendship towards brothers is really admirable.

"Second brother thanked third brother for Zhu Yunxi!"

"The fourth brother is still young, so he doesn't know the value of this thing. Let him play for a few days, and the second brother should go back and take care of it."

"Anyway, this thing is a gift from the emperor's grandfather. If the fourth brother raises him to death, the emperor's grandfather will not look good."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he looked at his cheap second brother quite unexpectedly, thinking that this guy really doesn't intend to fight?

This is too embarrassing. I haven't done anything yet, so I forced him to give up?
"Second brother is serious, this bird is now more important. After two years, my brother's fleet will take shape, and there will be as many parrots as you want!"

"Oh?"

When Zhu Yunqi heard what Zhu Yunxi said, he immediately became interested.

"Hearing what the third brother said, it seems that you know where these divine birds are born?"

Zhu Yunxi said in his heart, this is the right person to ask, and he said with a proud face.

"That's natural!"

When the other people heard this, they were not in a hurry to return to the palace, and gathered together to inquire about the origin of this bird.

"Nephew, please tell us quickly, where can we catch this kind of divine bird?"

"This bird is not rare. It is on a continent about [-] miles away from our Daming."

"There are rich products, simple folk customs, gold and jewelry everywhere, and all kinds of magical animals."

"This macaw is one of them."

When the princes in the main hall heard this, some yearned for it, some had golden eyes, and some already believed it in their hearts, but they still stubbornly raised their bars.

"You bragging, I don't believe there is such a place in the world!"

Zhu Yunxi took out a world map from his desk and spread it on the ground, pointing to the regional road in South America.

"What's there to brag about, this continent is here!"

"Let me tell you, the rice that people here eat is golden yellow, it's called golden rice, also known as yellow corn!"

"There are gold mines and silver mines everywhere, and the reserves of copper mines are even more uncountable, which can be called the largest in the world!"

The eyes of all the princes were fooled by Zhu Yunxie's words. If it weren't for the [-] miles to stop them, they would all wish to go to their father now, and let him redesignate them as vassals in South America.

As for whether South America belongs to Daming, they don't care at all.

In their simple cognition, even if it is not Daming's right now, as long as they want, their omnipotent father can take down that place and seal it to them as a fief!
Zhu Gui was also tempted by the words, and kept asking Zhu Yunxi.

"Nephew, from our Daming to the continent you mentioned, how long will it take to make a round trip at the fastest?"

Zhu Yunxi counted with his fingers.

"Based on the current navigation technology, it will take four to five months from Songjiang Mansion to reach Shenniao Island."

"so long?"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and thought in his heart, this has to be smooth, otherwise it will take a year to get there.

In order not to discourage the vassal princes of Ming Dynasty from looking back at Dahanghai, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly threw out his trump card.

"However, when my steamship is successfully developed, it will be much more convenient to go to and from this place. I think I can go there once a month."

In fact, Zhu Yunxi's words were still fooling around. He only knew that steamships could travel long distances, but he didn't know how fast that thing was, so he just tried to say as little as possible.

Zhu Gui was secretly relieved when he heard this. If it was only a month, and if it was still by boat, then it should not be considered a crime.

Everyone pestered Zhu Yunxi to inquire about the situation in other continents, and talked about their ambitions for the future, and then they went back to the palace to rest.

Only Zhu Yunxi was a little disappointed. He muttered so much, but he didn't even cultivate a pioneering vassal king.

It seems that the first generation of vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty had more or less brains...

When Zhu Yunxi passed by Fengtian Palace, he saw that it was still noisy inside, and thought that Lao Zhu was still drinking with a group of sycophants, so he went to Qianqing Palace alone, intending to sneak a nap while Lao Zhu was away.

When he skipped into the bedroom and saw Lao Zhu lying on the bed, he was so frightened that he quickly tiptoed back out.

However, as soon as he retreated to the door, Lao Zhu who was lying on the bed woke up and stopped him with a loud voice.

"stop!"

Hearing this voice, Zhu Yunxi quickly put on a flattering smile.

"Grandfather, you are awake..."

Lao Zhu turned over and sat up, looking at Ni Sun coldly.

"Who are you trying to run out to cheat?"

"pit?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the word "pit", his heart skipped a beat, feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Grandpa Huang, you really know how to joke. My grandson has always done business without deception. When did you deceive others?"

Old Zhu gave Zhu Yunxi a blank look when he heard the words, and said with disdain on his face.

"Edit!"

"Just make it up for us, and see if you can make a flower today!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes a few times, thinking to himself, he probably didn't offend the old man today, so why did the old man get so angry again?
Is it because he taught the parrot to swear at people, calling him a bad old man?

This shouldn't be the case, although this old man is not big-minded, but he never gets angry with himself because of such a trivial matter!

But Zhu Yunxi really couldn't think of anything else, so he could only bite the bullet and admit his mistake.

"Grandfather, I was wrong, I shouldn't have taught Uncle Wu's family's divine bird..."

When Lao Zhu heard Nisun's words, he knew that Nisun didn't think he was wrong at all, and when he thought of the stones filled with Jinshen Temple, he felt furious.

"Come on, hang him up for us!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his scalp felt numb, and the beating while hanging was much more painful than lying down!

"Grandfather, I was wrong, please forgive me once..."

After Lao Zhu said this, he ignored him, and started snoring again from one side of his body.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi was so angry, how did he provoke this old man again, so that he wanted to hang himself up and beat him!
Zhu Yunxi saw that the two tigers had already prepared the rope, so he stopped resisting, allowing the other tiger to hang himself on the beam, and then swing on the beam listlessly.

"Uncle Hu, tell me the truth, why did I offend that old man in the room again!"

"Even if you are beaten, you have to let me understand one by one!"

Erhu wanted to tell him, but when he thought of the emperor's previous warning, he could only cover his mouth obediently, and then retreated silently.

After the two tigers left, Zhu Yunxi became even more confused. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out what mistake he had made.

Could it be because he gave the parrot bestowed by the emperor's grandfather to others?
It should be!

Just now Zhu Yunxuan reminded himself that if Zhu Yunxuan were to raise the parrot to death, the old man would be upset.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi gained confidence in his heart, and he was not as flustered as he was at the beginning.

Not long after, Lao Zhu regained his energy and walked over with a whip.

Seeing that Xiao Nisun didn't show any remorse, Lao Zhu not only swung on the beam like last time, but even hummed a song!

Seeing this, Lao Zhu felt anxious, so he gave him a slap in the face, which made Nisun cry out "Aw".

Zhu Yunxi felt pain in his buttocks, and begged for mercy on the spot.

"Grandpa Huang, I really know I was wrong this time. I shouldn't have given the big bird you rewarded to others. I will order someone to go to Zhu Yunxi's place to get the bird back soon!"

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhu Yunxi said, the anger in his heart was instantly reduced by half.

This grandson is stubborn, but he treats his brother well. He is willing to give such a rare divine bird to his younger brother, but he is reluctant to fight it.

"Humph!"

"Let's give you another chance. If you can't guess why you were beaten, then we will not be polite!"

Zhu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this.

I guessed wrong again, the grandpa didn't hit me because of this!
Seeing that Nisun had been silent for a long time, Lao Zhu immediately slapped Nisun's ass.

However, in view of his true love for his younger brother, the strength of the whip was obviously much weaker.

Even so, Zhu Yunxi was still beaten up and down, his body twisted like a maggot, almost twisted into a twist.

"How dare you hide!"

"If you dare to hide for a while, let's see if we don't spank your ass!"

Zhu Yunxi forcefully squeezed out a few tears, wanting to win Lao Zhu's sympathy, and begged in a crying voice.

"Grandfather, why did you hit me, woo woo woo..."

Old Zhu had already seen through this Nisun's scheme, and knew that the twenty or so whips he had just just had not reached the upper limit of this Nisun's ass, and this Nisun was just pretending to show him.

But he wasn't very angry at first, he just wanted to punish him a little, so that Ni Sun would have a better memory, so he casually mentioned something to him.

"Stone!"

"It's not easy for us to celebrate our birthday, and the Jinshen Hall is full of all kinds of stones!"

"Does that sound plausible to you?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he suddenly realized, and by the way, remembered the dark threat of old Zhu when he was in Fengtian Temple.

Why did I forget about this just now, I have suffered so many whips for nothing!

"Grandfather, grandson knows his mistake!"

"Do you really know what's wrong?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Grandson really understands this time. Next year, grandson must develop more tricks, and grandpa won't only receive stones anymore!"

The fire of anger that had been extinguished by Lao Zhu was once again ignited by Ni Sun's words.

"You still have the face to say!"

"It seems that we played lightly just now, so you didn't realize what was wrong at all!"

Old Zhu gave Zhu Yunxi twenty lashes again, which made him scream and cry with a bit of sincerity, and then he said earnestly.

"You can fool others for a while, but can you fool others forever?"

"If you let the civil and military nobles of the Manchu Dynasty know that you have lied to them, what will they think of you?"

"You have also read the books of sages and sages. You should know the truth of the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son, right?"

"For a few taels of silver, you can do a deed to deceive the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. When they deceive you in the future, or commit crimes to you, do you still have the face to deal with them?"

This is what made Lao Zhu the most angry. As for the 10,000+ taels of silver, he really didn't pay much attention to it.

What made him angry was that Zhu Yunxi valued money too much because of a small loss, and was too philistine.

A businessman can only seek profit, but as an emperor's grandson, he should value righteousness and despise profit, and must not corrupt his character just to make money.

"Do you know it's wrong this time?"

"understood……"

Zhu Yunxi was not convinced at first, but after listening to Lao Zhu's lesson just now, he suddenly realized that he was short-sighted.

If the civil and military nobles know that the store is opened by themselves, even if they dare not trouble themselves, they will hate themselves in their hearts.

After all, no one wants to be taken for a fool.

"The grandson will order someone to return the money to them in a while."

Lao Zhu nodded in satisfaction when he heard this, and finally showed a gratified smile on his face.

This grandson has always valued money more than his life, and now he can take the initiative to return the spoils, which shows that he really realized his mistake.

"In fact, there is no need to return it, just donate half of it to the national treasury!"

"Of the remaining half, give your Grandma Guo another half, let her subsidize the expenses of the harem..."

"Leave the rest to your pocket money!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi's mind was once again in a daze, and he suddenly realized a problem. Did Grandpa Huang want him to spit out the money early in the morning, so he found an excuse to beat himself up?
The more Zhu Yunxi thought about it, the more angry he became, and secretly scolded the old man for being too bad.Fatty beat himself up, but still wants to pay for the money willingly, and finally thank him for his "teaching"?
Nonsence!

Even if I was beaten to death by him, I didn't pay a penny today!

"Grandfather, do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?"

"what?"

"That means money is gone, but people are alive!"

"What?"

"Grandson has figured it out. If you want money, you will die!"

"If you have the ability, you can beat me to death!"
