The father and son had their lunch and dinner in the Ancestral Temple. No one knew what the father and son talked about for half the day and all night. It was just the next day that Hongzhi rarely stopped court! And Hua Houwei was also in Kunning.

I slept for two whole days.

After Liu Jin served Zhu Houzhao to bed, he looked at the strong Zhu Houzhao and sighed. After walking back to his hut, he fumbled around for a while and took out two bottles of wine and walked to Zhang Yong's house.

"Lao Zhang, haven't you gone to bed yet? Let's take a few sips!"

The door opened, and Zhang Yong let Liu Jin in with a sad look on his face: "It just so happens that I also have something to talk to you about."

The two sat at a small table, opened the wine bottle, and filled the glasses. Liu Jin was the first to speak: "Old Zhang, what do you want to say to me?"

"Hey, Liu Jin, among the eight of us serving the prince, which one has not gone through a lot of hardships? Can we get to the prince's side without two brushes? You don't need to test me, I think we both have similar ideas!"

Liu Jin sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Lao Zhang, Long live the Lord and His Highness the Second Highness have been staying in the Ancestral Temple for so long, and you haven't heard anything about it?"

Zhang Yong shook his head, looking frustrated: "No! Long live the Lord drove everyone away. Even a famous figure like Eunuch Li was so scared that he peed his pants. Old Liu, what do you think the Long live Lord is going to do?

?”

Liu Jin impatiently picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "Ah, hum, it's just that! After the Second Highness woke up, this series of actions was dizzying. What kind of brain do you think the Second Highness has? 1

If you make a move, you will get tens of millions of taels of silver into your account. Alas, to put it bluntly, if you want me, I will choose the Second Highness."

Zhang Yong stood up in horror, opened the door and looked around, then returned to the table and sat down: "Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?"

Liu Jin smiled: "What are you afraid of? You and I are both rootless people, can we really rebel? Isn't it just that we are looking forward to the crown prince succeeding to the throne in the future, and we can live a comfortable life for two days? But looking at it now, haha, I really don't know

One day I will go to the Clothing Bureau and work as a wild dog."

Thinking of the miserable appearance of the palace maids and eunuchs who were assigned to the clothing bureau, Zhang Yong couldn't help but shudder. He knew that what Liu Jin said was not an exaggeration at all. None of the deposed princes in the past dynasties had a good ending. Princes were all like this, let alone himself.

Eunuch? Zhang Yong was a little panicked: "What should we do?"

Liu Jin continued to drink and woke Zhang Yong viciously: "I don't believe you don't know what to do! Zhang Yong, the prince has fallen, and none of us can recover. We, no, the eight of us are all on the same rope.

Grasshopper, no one can escape. Your Highness is young and in poor health. Whatever happens to you is normal. I once heard someone say that you are very young, Lao Zhang, don’t you think so?

Is this the truth?"

Zhang Yong grabbed the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. He sat blankly for a long time, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Well, Lao Liu, you are the only one among the eight of us and I have studied for a few days. I have always admired your knowledge.

of."

Liu Jin laughed loudly, patted his butt and stood up: "Let's go! Let's go across the sea and show our magical powers."

Hongzhi summoned the cabinet at Fengtian Hall, and Xu Pu stepped forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, the treasury has received 4.83 million taels. This is a good year!"

Hongzhi snorted, still feeling extremely attached to the white money in his heart. Xiao Jing immediately took the account book and reported: "Your Majesty, the internal treasury has collected five hundred and fifteen thousand taels. After throwing away the cost of three thousand taels, the net profit is five hundred and one taels."

One hundred and fifty thousand taels."

Hongzhi then smiled: "Well, not bad, not bad. It's a hugely profitable deal. It's a pity that I can't get another vote."

The elders couldn't help but laugh. Xie Qian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Second Highness is here. Are you still worried about this matter?"

Hongzhi smiled, knowing that something happened in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and civil servants came to test his attitude. He waved his hand indifferently: "Wei'er is still young, and the prince is only five years old. It's too early to say this, they still focus on their studies."

Xie Qian nodded, a little disappointed in his heart. The crown prince of a country is the foundation of the country. The purpose of Wan Live is to see the development of the Crown Prince and His Highness. Alas, Dang Duan continues to hesitate, and I am afraid there will be no peace in the future.

Xu Pu turned to Xie Qian and asked: "Yu Qiao, how are your two highnesses doing with their studies?"

Xie Qian answered honestly: "The prince is smart, but a little playful, but he has completed all his studies. His Highness has no problem with his studies. He often makes amazing remarks and explains views that the ancients did not have. Unfortunately, this word is really not eye-catching." "

Qiu Jun

Hehehe smiled: "Your Highness is still young, how many days have you been practicing? You will be fine in the future."

Li Dongyang remained silent and was not very interested in this topic. Liu Jian took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, did you really grant His Second Highness the shares to him?"

Hongzhi knew in his heart that the ministers had begun to take sides. It was obvious that Xu Pu was optimistic about Wei'er, otherwise he would not talk about the two highnesses; Qiu Jun meant to endorse Wei'er; but Liu Jian went around the corner to remind me of Wei'er's great achievements ;

Hongzhi nodded slightly: "Yes, I agree. I can't catch the wolf if I don't want my child, and I can't catch the gangster if I don't want my wife. Oh, this is a joke."

Several ministers then put away their surprised eyes and continued to listen to Hongzhi. "Weier has a wonderful idea, and if we give him some financial support, maybe the next ten million taels will appear. I think this little money It’s nothing.”

Xu Pu was the first to express his support: "Your Majesty is right! Even if His Majesty is extremely talented, it will be difficult for him to cook without rice without silver."

On this point, the opinions of several cabinet ministers are surprisingly unanimous. Who doesn't love free money? Even if you are an upright official, you have to use money, right? In their minds, Hua Houwei is already the number one money man in the Ming Dynasty. expert!

When you have money, you think about how to spend it. As the chief minister, Xu Pu said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that you have heard of, right?"

Hongzhi nodded slightly and signaled Xu Pu to continue. Xu Pu immediately began to perform with great emotion: "Living in the capital is not easy! This was said in the Song Dynasty, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty is probably even worse. A few days ago , the youngest son of Han Wen, a doctor in the household department, died in infancy. After diagnosis, the doctor said that it was due to lack of righteousness, evil spirits entering the body, and the usual meals were too light. Your Majesty, Han Wen is a doctor, a fifth-rank official! Poor Han Wen is a doctor in Guangying Ku, With a fifth-rank official status, one year's salary cannot support a family of five! Your Majesty, Han Wen hugged the body of his youngest son and cried like a child! The veteran's heart is as sharp as a knife!"

Speaking of the emotional part, Xu Pu burst into tears, and finally covered his face with the sleeves of his robe. Several pavilions had a tacit understanding for a long time, and they all looked gloomy and sighed!
