Chapter 202 Cooperation
"Okay, okay, take a look at your dirty look, you still look like a prince."

Zhu Di was annoyed when he saw Zhu Gaochi's appearance now, and waved his hand impatiently.

Zhu Gaochi murmured in his heart: How can I not do some searching? You really don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

There was a pause.

Zhu Di considered his words for a while, and then said again: "Well, I won't embarrass you. You can help me think of a way to come up with this number for me."

Zhu Di stretched out three fingers.

Zhu Gaochi saw it, probed his thick and round head, and asked tentatively: "Thirty thousand taels?"

"Tsk~"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes and smashed his head.

Zhu Gaochi immediately raised his voice and said in shock: "Three hundred thousand? No, no, absolutely not, no, Your Majesty, why do you want so much money? Now the treasury..."

I saw him sighing quietly, and said slowly: "Boss! Your father and I are already this age, and we don't have many good days left. I am still alive today because I still have a heart problem that has not been resolved. If I were not here, If I solve this problem before I die, I really won’t be able to rest in peace, old man!”

Zhu Di said angrily: "Nonsense."

"Oh dad, it's been so many years, but you still haven't forgotten what happened back then!"

Zhu Di said in a shocked voice: "How could I forget? After all, you were still young at that time and had never seen the wolfish ambitions of Meng Yuan's gang of beasts. At that time, Kyushu had just fallen into chaos, and Meng Yuan's Mahamu tribe had just fallen into chaos. They rushed into the Central Plains from the grassland, burning, killing and looting all the way. Wherever they passed, the huge land of Mingzhou was really littered with corpses! "

When Zhu Di saw this, he immediately scolded: "What are you doing?"

Zhu Di fell silent.

But as soon as Zhu Di said "three million", Zhu Gaochi became quiet. He stood up slowly, and then began to take off his coat in front of Zhu Di and the two brothers.

When he just mentioned three hundred thousand taels, Zhu Gaochi could still say a few words.

Ga~
Silence, silence.

"The emperor guards the country, the king dies in the country... Your father and I will never be able to conquer Mengyuan in this life, but at least before I die, I will drag that bastard Mahamu to hell."

Zhu Gaochi said speechlessly: "Dad, it's not me who is causing trouble now... Three million taels of silver, which is almost one-eighth of the Ming Dynasty's annual tax. Why do you want so much silver?"

Zhu Gaochi said expressionlessly: "Why not? I just want you to see, Your Majesty, how much my flesh is worth. If you want it, cut off my flesh and weigh it according to the price of a bear's paw." Let’s see if we can try to sell three million taels of silver.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi and the other two brothers fell silent.

"Why did Grandpa You have to establish a dynasty in Mingzhou when he was the land of Kyushu, and why did he choose to establish the capital in the north? Isn't it just to prevent the Mongolian Yuan from outside the north from invading Mingzhou again, causing the tragedy of that year to happen again?"

Zhu Gaochi was still chattering here, but Zhu Di could no longer bear it and interrupted directly: "What three hundred thousand? I said three million."

After a while.

Having said this, Zhu Di lowered his voice, looked at Zhu Gaochi "affectionately" and said: "Boss, you have to help me!"

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed: "Dad, it's not that I don't support you, but the military commander's personal expedition is not a trivial matter after all. Food, grass and military pay are one aspect, and more importantly, you... If not for this matter, you should let me Shall we go together?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Let the two of them go, old man, I don't want to be rebelled again." These words made Zhu Gaochi speechless for a moment.

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui on the side had already lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Okay, that's it. Three million taels of military pay. I don't care whether you steal it or rob it. Anyway, I must see the money within a month."

Zhu Di made a conclusion, and then added: "Also, the purpose of calling you three here early in the morning is to inform you that I will only take my grandson with me for this personal expedition. As for you three, you are here with me. After I left for the first time, I was responsible for supervising the country, with the boss as the main leader, and you two brothers as assistants. It can be regarded as a meritorious service. "

"this······"

The three brothers looked at each other and wanted to say something.

But at this time, Zhu Di had already turned his head and waved his hand impatiently to drive them away.

See this.

The three brothers, who knew their father's character quite well, also understood that their father had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more. After bowing, they each left.

Return to [Hanwang Mansion].

Zhu Gaoxu completely ignored the princess's call and returned to the study without saying a word.

Although Zhu Gaoxu's face was calm along the way, there was already an uproar in his heart at this moment, because Zhu Di's reaction this morning was exactly what the dark figure expected last night.

To know.

Even as Zhu Di's biological son, Zhu Gaoxu still cannot guess Zhu Di's thoughts. After all, as an emperor, being unpredictable is a required knowledge.

However, now, an organization has suddenly appeared, and it can even play with the emperor Zhu Di. This is unbelievable, and what a terrifying thing.

"How is it? Prince Han, have you seen our sincerity?"

Silently, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly appeared outside the study again. Although Zhu Gaoxu was shocked through the blurred window paper, there was no sign of anything strange on his face.

He just said cautiously: "Who are you?"

The black figure outside the door smiled "hehe" and said: "I don't bother you, Prince Han, to worry about it. It's just that now what do you think about whether you want to cooperate with us?"

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "Hmph~~ A group of rats who don't even dare to reveal their true appearance dare to talk about big things that will change the world. Isn't it ridiculous?"

The black shadow didn't care about Zhu Gaoxu's ridicule, and just said lightly: "But sometimes, it is easier for people who hide in the dark to achieve things, isn't it? What's more, as long as we can help you sit on that throne, is the method fair or underhanded? , what’s important about this?”

When Zhu Gaoxu in the study heard these words, he rarely refuted. His eyes flickered in the shadows one after another. After a moment, he said: "It sounds like this matter is very beneficial to me. What about you? You spend so much money on it." "Is it possible that you just helped me in vain?"

The black shadow chuckled and said: "Of course we also have things we want, but Prince Han doesn't need to worry about these. Now Prince Han only needs to give us an accurate response. Is it a promise? Or a rejection?"

Zhu Gaoxu fell silent.

For a while.

Only then did I hear him speak again: "What do you want me to do?"
