King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 102 Alas. Your Highness mistaken me!

Out of Prince Lu's Mansion.

The eunuch who delivered the order looked at the red envelope of one penny in his hand and wanted to cry without tears.

How can His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, bully others?

We came here with good intentions to convey the message, but who did we offend?
  However, I can’t sue His Highness King Lu, but I still have to say good things about him!

After all, the death of a complainer is too tragic.

Our family is a miserable one, we have lost our eggs.

It’s normal to have no courage, right?

The eunuch who delivered the order was thinking.

He shook his head and left with a sigh.

the other side.

Seeing the eunuch who delivered the decree walked away dejectedly.

Zhu Tan, Princess Tang, and Yin Shao were gathering together.

Study Zhu Tan's visit to Yingtian.

Yin Shao looked at Zhu Tan with helplessness on his face.

"Your Highness, let's be a little concerned about our reputation. Don't bully the eunuch!
  Why did you offend that person just now?

We are about to go to Yingtian. If the eunuch accuses His Highness in front of His Majesty, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be able to look good on you. "

Zhu Tan smiled with a nonchalant look on his face.

Bullying them, of course, is because they are a bunch of villains.

He likes to complain most, so that his reputation can be even worse.

He is Lao Zhu's son, what does it matter if his reputation is better or worse?
  In short, Lao Zhu is reluctant to punish anyone.

Even for Zhu Yunwen, who succeeded to the throne in later generations, the better the reputation of the prince, the greater the threat to him.

He was not in a hurry to deal with those princes who had a bad reputation, even those who were full of evil and cruelty.

Yin Shao said helplessly: "This time, on the way to welcome the special envoy, I made inquiries!
  The former eunuch who delivered the order was beaten to death by His Majesty in anger because he accused you behind your back!
  I thought, that time, you said you wanted to give him money, but he pretended to refuse, so you didn't give it to him!
  This immediately offended him, so he would complain behind his back!
  If you look through history books, you can see that these eunuchs are villains!
  There is always retribution. If you don't provoke them, they may frame you at some point!

What’s more, now you’re actively stimulating them! "

To be honest, Yin Shao really cared about the prince Zhu Tan wholeheartedly.

After all, Yin Shao is also someone who surrenders and is loyal to Zhu Tan.

What's more, he was promoted to an official position with Zhu Tan and got benefits.

Now, as Zuo Changshi of Prince Lu's Palace, he is considered prestigious in front of other Changshis of other palaces.

After all, everyone else's official rank is only the fifth rank, but he is the only one who has the fourth rank.

Zhu Tan also knew Yin Shao's good intentions.

Just too lazy to pay attention to it.

I am now free to do whatever I want.

Why should we care about virtuous reputation?

How tiring is it to have a good reputation?
  Wouldn’t it be nice to be King Luhuang now?

If he is a virtuous king who has a far-reaching reputation, the people are grateful, and the officials are loyal and loyal.

Does he dare to send troops to leave the vassal territory without authorization and go out to fight?

Does he dare to control the Changlu Saltworks and seize so much money?
  Does he dare to set up a private firearms workshop and develop sharp firearms?

Not one dares!

Because good reputation and these things come together and become only two words.

Threat!

Ambition!

Conspiracy to usurp the throne!

But now, Zhu Tan dares to do so!
  They are all so unscrupulous!

You can even go a little further!
  The more arrogant and absurd you are, the safer you are.
  Otherwise, there is a prince above, who has a good reputation, strong ability, and strong strength!

Isn't it obvious that he wants to compete for the reserve?

Even if you don't want to, you will be watched out for and targeted by those who are interested.

To be honest, if Zhu Tan traveled to other eras, no matter what, this prince position should be fought for.

After all, everyone is the heir to the royal family, no one is better than the other, not to mention that in the palace, his mother-in-law is the talker of the harem, which has a huge advantage.

But in the Hongwu Dynasty, it was better to forget it.
  The relationship between Lao Zhu and Prince Yiwen is really too deep.

For Lao Zhu.

He only has two sons.

Prince and others.

Moreover, Lao Zhu was famous for his stubbornness and stubbornness. Since the system of establishing direct descendants and establishing elders was established, for the long-term continuation of this system, he must also establish people of the prince's lineage to continue as heirs.

Only in this way can the rule of dynasty establishing heirs and elders be broken.

This has nothing to do with whether he likes Zhu Yunwen or not.

It's out of consideration for the system.

Zhu Tan was thinking in his heart.

While looking at Yin Shao, he asked nonchalantly: "Then the damn eunuch dares to accuse this king of evil?

How brave he is!

No wonder he died!
  How did the eunuch die? A peaceful death? If it were An Anping, this king would be very unhappy! "

Yin Shao was stunned for a moment.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It must be quite uneasy.

Although the whole body was left, the lower official heard that the eunuch was beaten to death with a stick and his death must have been quite painful. "

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "Death is painful and the death is not peaceful, so I am relieved.

But if you say that the whole body should be kept, that's not necessarily true. This dead eunuch has not had his whole body since the day he became an eunuch. "

Yin Shao:.
  not far away.

The faces of several young eunuchs who were cleaning up the main hall suddenly showed sad expressions.

Your Highness's words
  It’s so heartbreaking!
  Princess Tang's pretty face turned slightly red when she heard Zhu Tan's words.

Your Highness's words are inappropriate again.

Tang suddenly remembered.

My mother also mentioned it in her letter.

If the father calls His Highness to respond to the sky, can he be allowed to go back with him?

As a mother, she misses her daughter.
  Then I thought again.

Tang shook his head again.

This kind of thing is against the rules.

When His Highness goes back this time, I heard that he will be criticized by all parties.

It's better not to cause trouble for him.

Think of this.

Tang decided not to mention this matter.

Zhu Tan suddenly looked at Tang and said with a smile: "Princess, do you want to respond to the sky with me?

I have gone back twice this year, but you haven’t been back yet. Why not go back and visit your parents by the way? Tang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly.

I don’t want to cause any more trouble to His Highness!

His Highness already has enough troubles to worry about. If he causes trouble again, His Highness's situation will become even more difficult.

Zhu Tan had his own considerations about this matter.

Because Zhu Tan has decided to show off Changlu's profits and related matters to Lao Zhu.

Zhu Tan wanted to hide the matter at first, saying how great it would be to make a fortune in silence!

If Lao Zhu feels that he has been cheated, the worst he can do is pay him the national salt tax every year, which is only 25.6 million taels.

I can still have six to seven million taels left.

If those private salt dealers were allowed to secretly export salt to countries such as the East, West, and Korea, there should be an additional one to two million taels of profit left every year.

But Zhu Tan thought about it later and realized that this wealth was so amazing that as a vassal king, he still couldn't grasp it.
  No matter what he does next, if Lao Zhu doesn't know his own details, he will send Jin Yiwei to find out. No matter how he covers it up, sooner or later the flaws will be revealed, which will increase Lao Zhu's distrust.

It's better to be honest with him and explain to him clearly the rationale and profits involved. When the time comes, it will only mean that you get less money.

But as a modern person, especially someone who is proficient in chemical engineering.

He has a lot of cards in his hand!

Making money is simply the simplest thing in the world. It doesn't matter even if the profits from the salt farm are divided.

In this era, no matter what you do, it is a blue ocean!
  Zhu Tan wants to make money, which is as easy as bending down to pick up money.

No need to worry.

After all, in this dark moment when imperial power is supreme.

Lao Zhu's trust is the foundation and protection for him to continue doing things.

Hiding profits is really the stupidest thing in the world!

but.

If you tell Lao Zhu clearly about this matter.

Then, his character as King Luhuang suddenly soared into a virtuous king!
  I can't hold it down, I really can't hold it down!

There is no choice but to continue to cause trouble.

Last time, there was an unlucky seventh brother, and his subordinate was hacked to death by his own people.

This time, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find such an unlucky guy.

To be on the safe side, it is better to do something that is not in compliance with regulations.

Deliberately showing flaws.

In this way, he can cover up his reputation as a wise king.

Therefore, Zhu Tan decided to let the princess respond to Tian with him.

And this matter fell into Tang's ears.

She couldn't help but be moved.

There is even a hint of surprise!
  this.
  Is this the legendary telepathy?
  Your Highness
  Tang's eyes were red, but he still shook his head firmly and said, "Your Majesty, you should leave me alone. Your Majesty did not call me back to the capital, and it would be against the rules for me to go back privately. I don't like Yingtian Mansion. I don’t even miss my parents yet!”

Zhu Tan looked at Mrs. Tang with a smile.

He could instantly understand what this little fool was thinking just by listening to it.

In front of him, Mr. Tang was really too innocent and cute. In his cuteness, there was also a kind of lovable understanding.

Zhu Tan could understand it immediately.

Tang was worried that he would lead her to respond to the sky, or give others a handle.

Afraid of causing trouble for yourself and dragging yourself down!

Zhu Tan laughed and said: "It's wrong for the princess to say that! Who in the world doesn't love the hometown where he was born and raised! I even like Yingtian!"
  What's more, even if you don't miss your parents, they should still miss you. Go back with me! "

Tang shook his head.

He said firmly: "No! They don't want me either. I don't want to go back!"

Zhu Tan heard this and hummed: "Princess, what is the most important thing between husband and wife?"

Mr. Tang thought for a moment and said, "Respect each other as guests?"

Zhu Tan shook his head and said, "Wrong! It's love!"

Mr. Tang nodded his head and said, "Yes!"

Zhu Tan continued: "Then what is the premise of love? It is honesty! Two people must be honest and cannot hide each other! I want to know your depth, and you also need to know mine."

Tang, Yin Shao and others are too naive to understand Zhu Tan's words of tiger and wolf.

On the contrary, they all felt that what Zhu Tan said made sense.

Tang's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered with some shame, "Yes, Your Highness! I am worried that if I go to Yingtian, it will not comply with the regulations of the court, and it will harm you. That's why I am here."

Zhu Tan gently held Tang's slender waist.

"Don't worry, Princess! I promise that there will be absolutely no problem for you to go to Yingtian!"

Tang looked at Zhu Tan with disbelief on his face and couldn't help but ask: "Really?"

Zhu Tan nodded.

"Don't worry! Have you forgotten what I just said? Husband and wife should be honest with each other! How could I lie to you?"

Tang nodded.

"Ok!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Then respond to the sky with me!"

Tang thought for a while and agreed softly out of trust in Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan looked at Tang's pretty face and blushed slightly.

The allure for him was astonishing.

Just when he couldn't help himself, he kissed her.

Tang quickly dodged and said, "A foreign minister is here! Lord Yin Yin!"

Zhu Tan looked at Yin Shao.

There was a hint of threat in his eyes.

"Foreign minister? What foreign minister? If this foreign minister no longer has such foresight, I will make him a minister! Use a small hammer to change him!"

When Yin Shao heard this, he ran away without saying a word.

Said as he ran.

"Your Highness! I resign!"

When the words fell.

Yin Shao has already left the hall.

Zhu Tan was stunned.

Then he smiled at Mrs. Tang and said, "Hey, there are no foreign ministers now. My beloved, please close your eyes for now. It's getting dark."

the other side.

Yin Shao ran out of the hall.

On the other hand, I felt a little sad.

I studied hard for so many years in Hanchuang, passed the Jinshi examination and became an official. I originally thought that I would be decent and respectable in this life.

Who would have thought that since I followed His Highness Prince Lu, not to mention my dignity, my decency has almost disappeared!

Alas, Your Highness mistook me!
