I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 205 Fatty Zhu: Your father just died!

This psychological phenomenon of everyone was intentional by Zhu Zhangui.

Daming will have many foreign wars in the future, and with the character of the old man who can't sit still at home, he may spend most of his time outside in the future.

After all, the old man is not too young. With such a profligate style, one day he might really disappear outside.

The old man is Daming's god, once he leaves, there will definitely be some chaos.

In order to have a safe transition in the future, Zhu Zhangui deliberately gave everyone this kind of mentality and let them adapt first.

I was nervous once or twice, and got used to it three times and four times.

When the time comes, he really has an idea, and they won't have any doubts when they gather everyone together.

As the Fengtian Gate slowly opened, under the supervision of the censor of the Ministry of Rites, everyone began to stand on duty.

The year before last, because there was no order of entry, when the door opened, everyone went inside.

As a result, one of the officials was unlucky and was squeezed into the river. If it weren't for several Jinyi guards who went down to fish him up, they might have drowned in it.

In order to prevent this kind of accident from happening again, Zhu Zhangui proposed to the old man an idea of ​​standing on shift.

There is a row of civil servants, a row of military officials, a row of nobles, and a row of vassal kings.

They are Wendong, Wuxi, Wang Zuogui and You.

The order of the front and back is determined by the rank. Anyone who dares to jump in the queue will be punished, and an official from the Ministry of Rites and Yushitai will be sent to supervise every day.

Everyone walked slowly into Fengtian Hall.

Those who are of high grade enter the hall, while those who are not of high grade and those of the aristocratic family stand outside, waiting for the call.

The people standing outside felt depressed for a while, looked up at the sky that was about to light up, and worried about how to avoid the sun later.

Now is the hottest time, and the temperature in the morning is unbearable. Standing in this unobstructed place, it is no wonder that it is not too hot.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Wanfu Jin'an, His Royal Highness, Grandson, Jin'an!"

As soon as the officials entered the hall, they saw that there were already people sitting on the two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, under the dragon chair.

It was Zhu Pangpang, the prince, and Zhu Zhangui, the grandson.

A careful person noticed that Zhu Pangpang was a little tired between his brows and eyes, and his eye circles were still a little dark, obviously he didn't sleep well.

Many people thumped in their hearts.

The prince looks like this, does it mean something?Is the old man really gone?
Cautiously glanced at Zhu Zhangui on the opposite side, and everyone's hearts became heavier.

Grandson Zhu Zhangui's expression was calm, but there was a trace of joy that couldn't be concealed between his brows.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was also observing the expressions of the boss and eldest nephew, clenched his fists in his sleeves, and turned his head to give Zhu Gaosui behind him a look.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked at the appearance of the boss and the eldest nephew, fell silent, and after a while, he replied to Zhu Gaoxu with a response of joining forces later.

The expressions of the two shook Zhu Gaosui's confidence.

The second child doesn't want to be imprisoned like a dog for a lifetime, and neither does he.

If Zhu Zhangui doesn't do anything later, that's all. If he does, then he can only stand up and resist.

The people below were secretly looking at the people above, and Zhu Zhangui was actually observing the expressions and reactions of the people below.

Zhu Zhangui was very satisfied with the effect after seeing the tense expressions of many vassal kings and the constant eye contact between the second and third uncles.

"Let's all be free!"

The crowd saluted and worshiped, so that Zhu Pangpang, who was still thinking about something, came back to his senses, and raised his hand to let everyone stand up.

His mentally exhausted appearance did not actually mean that something major had happened.

It's just that I have been studying the colonial plan for the past few days, and I just feel sorry for the money that was distributed.

As a crown prince who has spent most of his life, thinking about the hundreds or even tens of millions of taels that will be distributed every year in the future, he is so distressed that he can't sleep.

In fact, don't say that Zhu is fat, Mrs. Zhang has been in pain for several days when she heard this.

Although the East Palace is now rich, the couple who are used to living a hard life really can't adapt to this kind of behavior of throwing money out.

Later, under Zhu Zhangui's persuasion, the two finally understood the meaning of this plan.

Zhu Pangpang, the future emperor, understood the impact of this plan on the future of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, speaking from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Pangpang still finds it difficult to accept this plan of plundering others and enriching himself.

Zhu Pangpang is a benevolent and righteous king. He really can't do this kind of banditry.

But thinking about the people of Daming who are waiting to be fed, and the situation that his son speculates that if he does not do this, what will happen to Ming in the future, Zhu Pangpang can only choose to go against his conscience and use the resources of other countries to make up for the people of Daming.

Again.

He is the prince of Ming Dynasty, not the prince of the world.

As the prince of Ming Dynasty and the future emperor, his first duty is to manage the people of Ming Dynasty well before he can care about the whole world.

Zhu Pangpang deliberated over this plan over and over again, thinking about what needs to be improved.

But Mrs. Zhang was thinking about how to get something for Donggong.

Now that the old man has agreed to scatter the money, Donggong will take some of it no matter what.

Zhu Pangpang only had that little salary, and he didn't dare to accept gifts from others. If Zhu Zhangui hadn't given money to spend these few years, Donggong might still be living the miserable life before.

But it's a bit unreasonable for this big family to spend their son's money.

So Mrs. Zhang wondered if he could get some shares for Donggong.

It doesn't matter how much you get in a year, there is a subsidy of tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is enough for the prince to reward the servants.

Zhu Zhangui was also speechless about his old lady's thoughts.

As long as everyone in the East Palace is not a prodigal, the money earned by his own business every year will not be spent in a lifetime, even if it is big fish and meat every day.

He is not a stingy person, there are only a few people in his family, and that little expenditure is nothing more than a drop in the bucket to him.

But since the old lady said it, Zhu Zhangui didn't refuse.

It's nothing to give shares to Donggong, it's just a daily pocket money for my parents.

After winning benefits for Donggong, Mrs. Zhang was not only not happy, but was still struggling and distressed.

Zhu Zhangui asked the reason out of curiosity, and the old lady hesitated to say that she wanted to get some shares for Uncle Zhu Zhangui.

When it comes to that uncle, Zhu Zhangui is also very impressed.

Of course, it wasn't the opponent's ability that Zhu Zhangui admired, but the opponent's bad luck.

Zhang Kejian, Zhu Zhangui's uncle, is smart and quick-witted, and he is also very accurate in finding business opportunities.

But I don't know why, it's just a bit of bad luck, to be precise, it shouldn't be a little bad, but several times more unlucky than ordinary people, as if possessed by a broom star.

When Zhu Zhangui first came back and the old man planned the Northern Expedition, his uncle wanted to get a batch of horses back from the north, and planned to take advantage of the opportunity of war to make a fortune from these horses.

For this reason, Donggong gave him all the money, just to let him have more capital, earn more, and also subsidize Donggong.

The man went out and bought the horse, but when he came back, he was detained by the people in the grassland. If it wasn't for his identity, he might have lost his head there.

In this way, a business loss is lost.

Not only did Zhu Pangpang lose all his salary for many years, but Zhang's dowry was also in vain.

Zhu Zhangui still remembered that morning, his father dragged his fat body and held a copper ruyi, and wanted to beat Zhang Kejian to death who had ruined his family.

Later, Zhu Zhangui, who came back from the outside world, gave his father 10 taels of silver to heal the scar in Fat Dad's heart.

Later, Zhang Kejian saw that Zhu Zhangui's shop was full of rare things, so he changed his mind about opening a shop.

So, licking his old face, he dragged his nephew to drink some flower wine, and came back with a batch of prostitutes for nothing.

But what shocked Zhu Zhangui was that his uncle was robbed by a group of bandits just less than 200 miles away from the capital while he was carrying the goods.

Nima, when Zhu Zhangui received the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.

This damn is around the capital, not to mention bandits and bandits, thieves and petty thieves dare not show their heads here.

As a result, Nima's own uncle actually ran into a bandit, which was even less likely than being killed by a meteor when he went out.

Later, the bandits were wiped out, and all the goods were taken away. Uncle Zhang Kejian lost everything again.

There was no other way, and with a thick skin, he found Zhu Zhangui, a nephew, and bought a meal of flower wine and borrowed a batch of goods.

What made Zhu Zhangui even more speechless was that he still paid for the flower wine.

In the words of his uncle Zhang Kejian, this is a loan, and when he makes money later, he will pay back the principal with interest.

This time Zhang Kejian learned his lesson and opened a shop in a small town around the capital.

As a result, on the day of the opening, all the goods were burnt due to accidental leakage of water.

Zhu Zhangui, who received the news, was in a daze for a long time.

Finally, when his uncle came back cheekily, Zhu Zhangui said, "You should stay at home, I will take care of your family.

If this continues, I'm afraid that one day you will lose me. I don't want my mother to cry. "

Old Zhang's family was unlucky, but Zhang Kejian was not alone.

All kinds of unlucky things often happen at home.

Either the East House collapsed yesterday, or the West House collapsed today.

Sometimes when I fell asleep, a few worms and toads would fall from the roof and smash into the bed.

Thinking of his hapless uncle's family, Zhu Zhangui opened his eyes.

It is estimated that the luck of the old Zhang family was all used on the old lady, otherwise the family would not be so unlucky.

Zhu Zhangui also agreed to the old lady's desire to subsidize her natal family, but the only requirement is that the uncle's family can receive the money at home, and don't think about going to the colony to see or something.

Zhu Zhangui was afraid that they would bring bad luck to the colony, or that there might be some accident on the way.

Although Zhu Zhangui is not superstitious, there are some things you cannot believe.

Just when Zhu Zhangui was thinking about his unlucky uncle's family, Zhu Pangpang stood up and looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"My lords, I called you here today because there is a matter related to the future fate of Daming, and I want to discuss it with you!"

The hearts of the people below were tense when they heard the words. Many people had tears in their eyes and were ready to cry.

Zhu Pangpang, who was still thinking about the colonial plan, didn't notice the expressions of the people below, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly.

"The emperor, he..."

"Your majesty, why did you just leave like this, how did you let the minister live! Huh, huh..."

"Your Majesty, you can take your ministers with you,..."

Just as Zhu Pangpang was about to talk about the colonial plan decided by the old man, the people below suddenly knelt on the ground and cried.

The sudden scene confused Zhu Pangpang.

what happened?Could it be that the guys below knew the plan and were moved to the point of crying by the royal family's generosity?

its not right!
Zhu Pangpang glanced back at Zhu Zhangui who was full of smiles.

Didn't this brat say that only the old man and the three of him knew about the plan?Where did the guys below hear about it?
"Brother, when did our father die!"

There were tears in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, he didn't know if he was really sad or just pretending, so he wiped away his tears vigorously, and asked when did the fat old man leave?
"When did it disappear?"

Zhu Pangpang frowned, not wanting to understand what the second child meant by asking this question?
"Brother, do you still plan to hide from us, did you explain anything when Dad left!"

Seeing that Zhu Pangpang was still pretending at this time, Zhu Gaosui became a little angry, and stepped forward to ask loudly.

After looking at the second and third child whose eyes were red and full of tears, and at the ministers kneeling on the ground crying together, Zhu Pangpang slowly came back to his senses.

He had been thinking about how everyone would react after the colonial plan was announced, and he didn't hear what these guys were crying clearly.

And there were so many people and so chaotic, he couldn't hear clearly under the noise.

"You, you..."

Staring at the ministers below who were crying for their father, Zhu Pang's hands trembled angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, who said my father is gone, the emperor is alive and well, he really plays the piano."

He just said, why are these guys crying so hard, thinking that his father is dead, what a bunch of bastards, my father is alive and well, and you dare to curse him to death.

This matter is me, if the old man is here today, he will beat you up.

The hall fell silent for an instant.

The minister kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes looked at Zhu Pangpang in bewilderment.

Yang Shiqi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the angry Zhu Pangpang, and rolled his eyes at the smiling Zhu Zhangui, and slowly reacted.

Yes.

It stands to reason that the emperor really died, the crown prince would definitely come to discuss this matter with him.

If I haven't discussed this matter with myself in the past few days, it means that the emperor is fine at all.

Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi became angry, and turned his head angrily to look at the people behind him.

Which bastard spread the news that the emperor had passed away, and the crown prince planned to attack the princes.

The people behind are also a little confused, you look at me, I look at you, they are all looking for the first person who sent the news.

After looking around, everyone turned their attention to King Ning Zhu Quan in the feudal lord's team.

It seems that the first one to say this vaguely is this old guy.

"Uncle Seventeen!"

Zhu Pangpang glared at King Ning angrily.

"Cough cough!"

King Ning has such a thick skin, he would not admit such a thing without evidence.

He coughed softly, and glared at his ministers.

"Look at what this king is doing, you don't want to say that I said this!"

"Your Majesty is my own elder brother. It's unreasonable for me to curse him. If you think wrongly in your own mind, don't wrong me, an innocent person, without evidence or evidence, hum!"

Crowd: ...

Zhu Pangpang didn't bother to talk to this thick-skinned Uncle Seventeen, and waved to everyone.

"Have you finished crying? Can you just listen to Gu when you're done crying?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Embarrassed, everyone quickly got up from the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Zhu Pangpang.

The crown prince even yelled out Gu, it seemed that he was really angry.

After everyone stood up again, Zhu Pangpang snorted, and continued what he said just now.

"The emperor has formulated a plan to make Daming rich, and it is related to you all. I called you here today, just to discuss this matter with you, and ask if you would like to participate!"

It's about us.

The ministers frowned, the emperor would not think about it again, and come up with some battle plan.

This is calling everyone over, isn't it because you want everyone to raise money?

impossible.

Didn’t the grandson just come back from earning a sum of money some time ago, and the army from an overseas expedition also made a fortune. Some time ago, they brought back a lot of grain, gold, silver and jewelry. It stands to reason that the court should not be short of money.

Since there is no shortage of money, why are you looking for us?Could it be that they plan to mobilize troops on a large scale and fight somewhere?
After announcing the content of the meeting, Zhu Pangpang might be a little angry because of what happened just now, so he ignored the cranky people below, returned to his seat, gave Zhu Zhangui a wink, and asked him to talk.

Zhu Zhangui, who was watching the excitement, got up with a smile and walked to the steps, looking at the people below who were frowning and thinking.

"Gentlemen, are you short of money?"

Everyone who was wondering what the emperor's family wanted to do was stunned by Zhu Zhangui's question.

Then subconsciously rolled his eyes.

Is not this nonsensical?Whoever is not short of money will feel that he has more money.

Zhu Zhangui then asked.

"Do you feel that the salary given to you by the imperial court is too low?"

All the ministers rolled their eyes to the top of their heads.

My grandson, please remove whether you have and feel.

How much salary does your old Zhu family pay?How low is it, don't you have a clue in your mind?
With that little salary, I couldn't live without some extra money.

Many honest and law-abiding officials are usually reluctant to eat even a meal of meat, and some even have their official robes torn, and they are reluctant to replace them with a new one.

That's really three years old, three years old, and three years of mending.

Oh, I can't think about it more and more bitterly.

Zhu Zhangui continued with a chuckle.

"I believe that many people, because their salary can't support a family, have secretly reached out to take money from the court more than once!"

Everyone's hearts tightened.

Nima, let's talk about salary, let's talk about salary, don't talk about these things, it's okay, this topic is very scary, and it will kill people, Your Highness.

Zhu Zhangui continued, regardless of what they thought.

"With all this money, don't you live a very uneasy life? You're always worried, for fear of being found out by the court, and then Jin Yiwei will break into the door and the whole family will be taken away!"

Some people's calves had already started to tremble, and their foreheads were sweating profusely from fear or heat.

Damn, isn't the imperial court planning to conduct an investigation?

It seems that a group of people's heads are about to fall to the ground.

The people at Yushitai had already started to look at the officials, wondering who they would shoot first when His Royal Highness Taisun got angry.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Zhangui slapped his hands fiercely, and just about to start his passionate speech, some people's calves softened and they plopped to their knees on the ground!
