Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 185 The Doorway to Gift Giving

The two cousins ​​chatted over a cup of tea very affectionately, and Eunuch Wang ran back out of breath, followed by two young eunuchs carrying the burden.

One carried two jars of oil, and Wang Defa introduced: "This is His Highness's grandfather, who selected the best sesame seeds in his hometown and squeezed sesame oil by himself. Our mother let the old man and father-in-law taste it."

The other was carrying two baskets of grain, and Wang Defa introduced: "This is even more powerful. This is the grain that our Highness and his brothers planted, and His Majesty and the crown prince harvested with their own hands. Most of it was reserved by the emperor for the spring to worship the God of Valley. , just distribute a little to the queen and our empress, and taste the fruits of your Highness's labor."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Zhu Zhen was stunned for a while, and did not forget to nod to cooperate.

"Oh, it's too precious, isn't it?" Li Wenzhong was flattered and said, "I can accept Mr. Hu's oil, but the food grown by your highness is really unbearable for a courtier."

"Hey, what can't be tolerated by the family, let uncle and cousin have a taste." Zhu Zhen waved his hand and said in a big way: "The more polite you are, the better you will be."

"Well, brother, you're welcome. I'll thank His Highness on my father's behalf first, and I'll let him thank you face to face some other day." Only then did Li Wenzhong happily go back with the two baskets of grain.

As for Hu Taigong's two jars of sesame oil, the little eunuch sent them because they were not high enough.

Zhu Zhen sent his eldest cousin to the gate of the palace, and everyone waved after walking a long way, and only turned back with Wang Defa when he could no longer see him.

Wang Defa took the bull by the hand, and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, why are you so enthusiastic about Cao Guogong all of a sudden?"

"I heard in my hometown that relatives are getting closer as they go." Zhu Zhen adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Besides, big cousin is such a good person, Father also asked us to get closer to him."

"Oh, this old slave thought that His Highness was for the formation of the three guards." Wang De laughed and said, "Mr. Cao Guo is in charge of the affairs of the governor's mansion. To form the three guards, from the deployment of troops to the selection of generals, to the payment of armor sticks and food, He has to nod. So it is right for His Highness to get closer to him."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth with his fly whisk and smiled again: "Of course, this old servant is thinking too much. Your Highness is still young, so his mind is not that complicated."

"That's right, how can this king think so much." Zhu Zhen nodded, and the master and servant looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.

"But Wang Ma, what happened to your two baskets of grain?" Zhu Zhen asked again: "Did the emperor give it to my mother?"

"Yes and no." Wang Defa smiled slyly, and said in a low voice: "The emperor indeed rewarded the grain planted by His Royal Highnesses, but the total amount is only three or five buckets, how can they be given away.

"Even if you give it to someone, you can't give it to the whole family." He continued: "So, in that load of grain, there is a basket of black beans, which are grown in Hufuzhuang; there is also a basket of rice, which is also grown in Hufuzhuang. But Added a handful of rice planted by your highness."

"Aren't you deceived?" Zhu Zhen, a good and upright young man, immediately expressed his indignation.

"How could it be a Mongolian person? If you make rice like this and eat it in your mouth, who can say that none of it is planted by His Highness?" Wang Defa said confidently: "So it is the rice planted by His Highness."

"Wow, Mommy Wang, you are so cheap." Zhu Zhen seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

"Your Highness, there is nothing I can do." Wang Defa was afraid that His Highness would treat him as a slut in the future, so he quickly explained:

"You don't know, Cao Guogong is famously cautious and honest, if we give him valuable things, he will definitely not accept them.

"Besides, our Wan'an Palace has no valuables..." After a pause, the old eunuch said again sadly.

"Where is it, you are very valuable as an old baby." His Highness King Chu's small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey.

"Oh, the old slave will be embarrassed if His Highness said that." Eunuch Wang enjoyed His Highness's bowl of chicken soup very much, and happily said:
"But it would be too shabby to simply give him local products, but with this handful of rice and this gimmick, it will be different. Cao Guogong is at ease, and the collection is decent, and we don't spend money."

"That's right, I learned it." Zhu Zhen nodded, if he gave it away in handfuls like this, those buckets of rice could be sent to the world.

"By the way, Wang Ma, add a dung bag to the Great Sage." When he was about to go back, King Chu finally remembered Cao Guogong's words.

"The old slave has already asked the people from the Horse Supervisor to help with the work." Wang Defa said with a doting smile, "I also asked them to make a saddle and bridle for His Highness, which will be delivered in two days."

How fine is Wang Defa, if he is not careful, he will not be the head of Wan'an Palace.What Zhu Zhen could think of, he thought about it in advance; what Zhu Zhen couldn't think of, he also thought about it in advance.

It's just that I didn't expect His Highness to be so addicted, and I just wanted to ride the Great Sage for a walk around...

"By the way, Eunuch Niu over there also said that the Great Sage will be sent there some other day to check his body, repair the cow's hooves, and also nail a pair of cow paws to him."

"Yeah, yes, yes." Zhu Zhen happily stroked the forehead of the Great Sage Ping Tian and said, "How about it, is it right to come back with this king? You are enjoying the royal family now, and you are the only one in the world!"

The big buffalo snorted, which was considered a compliment.

"I'll find some wives for it another day..." Wang Gonggong said: "This is His Highness's cow, how can there be no three wives and four concubines worthy of it?"

"Yeah, you can make arrangements..." While Zhu Zhen was speaking, the big buffalo suddenly pouted, almost falling off the back of the bull.

"Your Highness, be careful." Eunuch Wang quickly supported him, and said strangely: "You look like a strong cow, and you didn't pull the cart, why are your legs so weak?"

~~
Xianrenju is an inconspicuous two-story restaurant near Hudou Lane.

The interior of this small restaurant is very elegantly decorated, and the materials used are also very high-grade.There are also many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

If you take a closer look, you will find that there are many works by famous masters and celebrities in the world.For example, there are several copies of the calligraphy of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the current dynasty, which shows that the store's background is really not small.

In the private room with the word "spring" on the second floor of Xianrenju, Feng Sheng and Hu Weiyong, who were dressed in casual clothes, were having a drink.

The dignified Song Guogong didn't want anyone to wait on him, so he poured wine for Hu Weiyong himself and said, "Mr. Hu, do you think the emperor is going to do something to our Huaixi?"

"Yes and no." Hu Weiyong held the wine glass in both hands, and Zhi Zhu said:

"If the capital is changed from the capital to the capital, the power of the princes will definitely be greatly affected. But this is also the meaning of the title. The world has been set, and the generals with heavy troops in their hands will naturally no longer be pleasing. Any emperor will find a way to control the military power. Taken away."

"A cup of wine releases the military power?" Feng Sheng asked in horror.

"Then you guys go have fun." Hu Weiyong clinked glasses with him, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, do you think we are in the same position as Song Taizu?"

"It's not like." Feng Sheng shook his head and said: "If Song Taizu had the ruthlessness of the superior, he would have taken back the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures long ago, and he wouldn't let his brother kill him."

"Hehe, my lord's opinion." Hu Weiyong gave a thumbs up and said: "It's a bit of a point, the founding emperors are all ruthless people, but our superiors are ruthless, among the founding kings of all dynasties, It's also a big deal.

"Who would have thought that the Central Capital City, which was built with a huge investment of billions of dollars, would not be moved if it was not moved?" Hu Weiyong sighed and said:

"What is a strong man breaking his wrists? This is called a strong man breaking his wrists. With such ruthlessness, the superiors can do anything."

He looked at Feng Sheng, and persuaded quietly: "So, my lord, I advise my brothers, don't be arrogant, hand over your military power honestly, and go home to live for the rest of your life. The superior position will definitely make you happy and rich. old."

"Fart!" Feng Sheng couldn't help cursing.
