Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 135 Old Zhu's Wrist

Having settled the start-up capital, Zhu Su was in a good mood.I wanted to go back to the village, but half of the guards were taken by Li Jinglong to help the Shen family recover the money Diao Nu took away.So he stayed overnight in the Prince's Mansion in the city.

Zhu Biao and Chang's warmly welcomed Zhu Su, seeing Chang's already pregnant belly, and she will give birth in a few months.At that time, Daming will add a new grandson of the emperor.

Seeing Chang's ruddy complexion, Zhu Su was also slightly relieved.It seems that the sister-in-law of this child is well-raised, and there should be no loss of health.

Speaking of it, Chang is actually only twenty-eight years old this year.I have already told Zhu Biao that immature women are prone to die in childbirth, and after coming to Zhu Biao, Chang's will not be allowed to give birth continuously as in history.

It should be able to save the life of this respectable and lovely woman.

The eldest brother Zhu Biao has gradually started to take care of things now, because Zhu Su told him the cause of his death, Zhu Biao did not go out to patrol on behalf of the old Zhu as in history, but relatively, the old Zhu asked for more familiarity with government affairs. too much.The post of Zhizheng in the newly formed cabinet was specially set up for Zhu Biao, and it was also because of his status as a prince that he was able to stand against Zhongshu Sheng in the cabinet, and even faintly overwhelmed Zhongshu Sheng and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Most of the Zhongshu provinces are Huaixi Xunjiu, while most of the cabinet walkers are Qingliu officials. Therefore, they are regarded as the hope of Qingliu and are highly praised by many Qingliu officials.Taking advantage of the opportunity of serving in the cabinet, Zhu Biao also became friends with Qingliu civil officials.He is gentle and refined, courteous and virtuous corporal, and soon won Qingliu's support.In addition, when he was young, he followed Lao Zhu among the nobles in Huaixi, and his wife's family was the daughter of Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping, and he was a hardcore prince who was fully supported by the nobles in Huaixi.

However, in the past few months, the two factions of Qingliu and Huaixi nobles, who had been showing signs of tit-for-tat, showed a happy appearance because Zhu Biao was in the cabinet.

Zhu Su had to admire Lao Zhu's political ability.Lao Zhu, who knew the history of later generations, became more sophisticated.Zhu Su was supposed to just follow the scripted cabinet policy, but he conveniently added a prince to serve in the cabinet, which completely quelled the hidden danger of the party struggle between the DPRK and China.

With the exception of Zhongshu Sheng, all forces have been integrated.

Under the leadership of Lao Zhu, this force will become a unparalleled sharp edge that opens up a new era.And the next step for this sharp blade is to abolish the Secretary of State, let go!
I don't know if Hu Weiyong is trembling at this time.

Chatted with Zhu Biao for a while about the situation in the DPRK and China, Zhu Biao tried his best to persuade Zhu Su to stay overnight at the Prince's Mansion.Someone told Li Jinglong to go back to Cao Guogong's mansion to visit his elders, and to meet at the prince's mansion the next day.

The next day, Li Jinglong came to the Prince's Mansion with red eyes. Zhu Su, who was eating a deep-fried dough stick, couldn't help being surprised: "Jiujiang, what's the matter? Look at the frames of your eyes, did you cry?"

"Could it be because you've turned dark and my aunt doesn't like it?"

"I exercised in the village, and my body has become stronger. There is no reason for my grandfather not to like it." Li Jinglong shook his head, sniffed his nose, sat down and picked up a deep-fried dough stick. "It's just that my grandfather's health is getting worse. These days, he is always afraid of the cold, swaying, and starts to feel sleepy during the day."

"I'm really worried about him... oh." As he said, he took a hard bite of the fried dough stick.

Li Jinglong's grandfather, Li Zhen, is Lao Zhu's brother-in-law and the only living relative of Lao Zhu's generation.Old Zhu Su paid great attention to this brother-in-law, and Zhu Su's aunt was also an honest person, and he often said to them juniors: "Once you are rich, you forget about poverty, and a gentleman will not do it."

Among the many relatives of Lao Zhu's family, Li Zhen is the oldest. He believes that he should set an example for his descendants.Usually, he only wants to dress fitly, not to be gorgeous, and the food he eats is only to be palatable, not to be extravagant.Lao Zhu often gave him clothes, but he had to mend the worn ones before wearing them.He also often tells his children and grandchildren earnestly about the situation when he was an ordinary farmer.

Li Jinglong is also very filial to his grandfather.This time when I went home and saw that he was not feeling well, it was normal to have red eyes under the discomfort in my heart.

Zhu Su recalled it secretly, remembering that Li Zhen Hongwu had just passed away in the 11th year of Hongwu, thinking that the illness this time was not a big problem, he comforted Li Jinglong and said: "It's okay, my aunt is guarded by the imperial doctor in the palace, and now she has nothing to do. , will definitely recover soon.”

"Bifeng Mountain has beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's a good place to retire. It's better to build a beautiful house and bring my aunt to live with me."

Hearing this, although Li Jinglong was still unable to respond with fried dough sticks in his mouth, he nodded frantically in agreement in haste.Zhuangzi is indeed a good place. Being able to run horses and wrestle wrestling and watch the setting sun sink into the mountains at leisure is a freedom and ease that I never experienced when I was a rich man in the city.Even the training is tiring and tight, but I get used to it.Today, if I don't hear the wake-up call, I still feel empty inside.

Grandpa has been talking about his hometown all his life, and he would be relieved if he could go out of the city to live.

Zhu Biao has already gone to the cabinet to take up duty.After leaving the Crown Princess Chang's, Zhu Su and Li Jinglong led the guards on their way back to the village.It was still morning when I arrived at Zhuangzi, and I saw two teams of soldiers outside the village, one long and one short, running in the morning.One team consisted of more than ten guards who stayed in the village, and the other team consisted of Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong led by Zhu Shouqian.

Zhu Shouqian's body and bones have also been trained, and now he is striding forward, he has lost the appearance of that stubborn playboy, running in front of the two is quite majestic.Xu Yungong and Fang Xiaoru, who put on short coats behind them, ran panting for breath, sticking out their tongues so much that they didn't care about the young man's face and the literati's so-called decency.

"Look at those two people, what a mess!" Li Jinglong gloated from a distance.

Zhu Su glanced at him and thought that you were not doing well when you first started.Looking at Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong again, I feel that this military training system is really good. Didn't you see that the airs of those two people have almost worn out?
The point is that they can't get enough of lying down like dead dogs every day, and they don't have the heart to pester themselves to ask this and that.I can fish for two more days.

universal!The excellent system of military training for admission must be popularized in the academies to be built!
To Zhu Su's surprise, the money from the Shen family was delivered very quickly, and the leader was a fat man who looked a lot like Shen Rong.When he arrived at Zhuangzi, his attitude was extremely low, and he smiled three-pointedly before he spoke, which was quite flattering: "Little Shen Wang is the younger brother of Shen Rong, the head of the Shen family. Fu Bo failed to see the prince's golden face yesterday. , I finally saw the prince today, I feel that this life is worthwhile."

"You are Shen Rong's younger brother?" Zhu Su nodded his head as a courtesy.Glancing back, he saw the silver winter melons brought out of the car, and smiled slightly: "Is your Shen family rich? My king just told you yesterday, and you have raised enough silver taels this afternoon."

"The silver from the cellar of the Shen family is actually enough? Tsk tsk..." He looked at Shen Wang with dangerous eyes.A merchant in the early Ming Dynasty was able to hide 500 million cash in the cellar.What on earth did this group of people do to get money so quickly?
"Your Highness misunderstood! Misunderstood!" Shen Wang quickly explained with sweat profusely. "My brother was afraid of delaying too long and missing His Highness's affairs, so he wrote an IOU and went to other families to get credit first, so as to get enough money."

"When the cash deposit from my Shen family's hometown in Jiangsu arrives, I will knock on the door one by one and return it to them."

"How could my Shen family suddenly come up with such a large amount? I have to go back to my hometown in Jiangsu to sell some ancestral property to make it together..."

As he spoke, he blinked at Zhu Su a few times.What Shen Wang said was pitiful, Zhu Su already understood that this was the Shen family showing their loyalty.Borrowing money requires paying interest, and Shen Wang didn't mention the interest at all. It seems that the Shen family wanted to use the interest to sell Zhu Su's favor.As for the sale of the ancestral property, your Shen family has just made a fortune in the previous generation, so what ancestral property can you have.

But Zhu Su felt relieved a lot.If a mere businessman in the district can take out such a large amount of cash at any time, then he should really consider suggesting to Lao Zhu how to confiscate the legitimately confiscated properties of these wealthy businessmen, and the possibility of completely overthrowing this class and starting over.
