Zhu Youde's conscience will not hurt at all, and the beam does not belong to him alone. Isn't it unreasonable to use the money of the people of Daliang to build the beam!
After talking, Zhou Chaozong remembered Zhou Fang and wanted to recommend him to Zhu Youde.
"Oh, then call over and see me!"
Zhou Chaozong hurriedly called for someone, and invited Zhu Youde inside to drink tea.
Soon Zhou Fang rushed over!
"Where?"
When Zhou Fang entered the exchange, she almost shouted out, and then she realized what she was doing when she saw the people queuing up.
Zhou Chaozong took him to meet Zhu Youde.
Zhu Youde asked Zhou Chaozong to go about his business and looked at Zhou Fang.
"I heard that you are very sensible and I am very happy. That's right. Don't think about making trouble all day long. It's good for everyone. The fact that you think like this shows that you know how to behave. I like people like you."
"It's all thanks to your majesty's wisdom. The Zhou family has been ignorant, but now they understand. I have already asked someone to choose a girl. Please enjoy it, your majesty!"
Zhu Youde's face twitched, this is too wise.
Wang Zhonghou also twitched his face, here he comes, here he comes again,
He couldn't believe that Zhou Fang, who was already in her fifties and sixties, actually wanted to give a girl to the emperor.
"I have never seen a beauty from the southern country. I am sincere to you!"
"Your Majesty is a democratic person, so naturally he should enjoy the best. I have also sent people to Yangzhou to look for the thin horse. He will be sent to the palace soon."
Looking at the shameless Zhou Fang, Zhu Youde was very moved, but he couldn't help but want to complain.
This is so shameless.
Have all the thin horses in Yangzhou been produced?
It's impossible to refuse. They also have good intentions. They just mentioned a few women. If he dares to give them away, how can he dare to do so?
And it's no surprise that the other party just wants to be an official, and that's not what he said.
"You have no merit yet, and I cannot give you an official position casually, so... hurry up and make political achievements!"
Emperor, you are so direct, but I understand, I understand.
"I am so grateful that I burst into tears!"
I'm very satisfied. It's just comfortable to deal with this kind of old man. There is no other trick. It's just a gift to a woman. Everyone understands this tacitly.
After meeting Zhou Fang, Zhu Youde finally thought of going home. When he returned home with Wang Zhonghou, Lao Zhu sighed.
"Zhou Fang is a nice person."
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Can I refuse? No, I am still filial. My palace is still too small. Has the new palace started to be built?"
"Your Majesty, it has already started. The Ministry of Industry said it will take three years to complete!"
Zhu Youde had no choice. It was enough to build a wonder building in this feudal era. How could he still ask for a construction period?
It’s better not to make it difficult for you to be an official!
"Let's go north tomorrow!"
We are going to the north to see Zhao Wuji. We will arrive at the mouth of the Yellow River half a month after setting off tomorrow. Along the way, we can also inspect the situation in the north.
Especially the situation in Xuzhou.
As soon as the news came out, envoys from various countries became busy. They all asked about Zhu Youde's trip this time, who he would bring and how many troops he would bring.
Especially the envoys from Beiyan who kept asking for an audience!
Zhu Youde didn't even take care of him at that time. How many people I bring is none of your business.
The next day, Zhu Youde left Donghua Gate in a carriage and directly mobilized all the new troops and troops around Jinling. A total of 150,000 people left Daliang in a swagger.
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Zhao Shanhe was a little dumbfounded. This was just a meeting between the emperors of the two countries. Are they leading so many people to fight?
Does Daliang have the courage to start a war with Beiyan?
"Ambassador, this news should be passed back. If His Majesty doesn't bring enough troops to the south, the Emperor of Liang will laugh!"
"It's too late. Your Majesty brought 50,000 people with him when he went south this time!"
Fifty thousand versus 150,000!
How to compare!
I've definitely lost face here.
When two heads of state meet, face is a national matter, so Zhu Youde has been preparing for a long time. This time, he will bring all the troops around Jinling with him. He is not afraid of rebellion at home!
Who dares!
Daliang still has 200,000 troops stationed in Xuzhou. When passing through Xuzhou, Zhu Youde will directly take them all with him.
There are a total of 350,000 troops, which can be called a million troops.
It scares Zhao Wuji to death!
You, Beiyan, are great, but I have many people.
This face came without fighting. Zhu Youde could play this kind of game. After all, he was rich and Daliang was not short of food and grass, but Beiyan was poor.
You dare to think that I am the best in the world if you don’t have money. This time, Zhu Youde spent tens of millions of money to purchase supplies when he went north.
Starting from Jinling, we headed all the way north and soon entered the North China Plain. It took us seven days to enter Xuzhou!
The Xuzhou garrison went out of the city to greet Zhu Youde. When he saw the person coming, Zhu Youde also jumped.
Very tall!
The visual estimate is two meters, which is simply outrageous!
It's quite difficult to get into bed with such a tall body.
"Your Majesty, Deng Xing, pays homage to your Majesty!"
"Get up and talk!" Zhu Youde said politely. Deng Xing had a murderous look on his body and it was scary to look at him!
Zhu Youde was looking at him, and he was also looking at Zhu Youde. Their eyes met but he didn't take the initiative to avoid them.
Wang Zhonghou looked at the other party, his eyes becoming gloomy.
Looking at the king, do you want to die?
This time Zhu Youde specially brought Lu Shengzhi up, and this old man also knew Zhao Wuji.
Lu Shengzhi looked at Deng Xing dissatisfied: "General Zhenbei!"
He was deliberately reminding Deng Xing that you made a mistake.
After glancing at Lu Shengzhi and Wang Zhonghou, Zhu Youde looked at Deng Xing and said, "You have complaints against me!"
Very direct and brutal.
Zhu Youde has no intention of playing games with Deng Xing. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you have any opinions, just raise them.
As for rebellion?
Wang Zhonghou can kill him immediately.
"Tell me about it!" Zhu Youde leaned on the couch and leaned sideways: "What are you dissatisfied with me about?"
"Your Majesty, my family founded the country with Taizu and has been guarding Xuzhou. During the battle of Xuzhou, the late emperor, my father died fighting desperately to ensure that the late emperor returned to the country. My family is very kind to the royal family."
I'm just a piece of trash, but I'm right.
Zhu Youde nodded: "Forget it, who says it doesn't count? The Deng family's guarding Xuzhou is not only a favor to the royal family, but also a service to the country."
"Then why did Your Majesty let someone else become the queen? What should I do with my sister?"
"Eh..."
"Here is the handwriting of the late emperor. Your Majesty, please read it. The late emperor said that the future queen will belong to my family. My sister is now twenty-five years old. How can she get married? Who dares to marry?"
I don't know!
No one told me.
Looking at the handwriting, it turned out that they were his cheap friends.
The reason why he could tell it at a glance was because Zhu Youde had recently been reading some documents from the late emperor's dynasty!
The handwriting has turned yellow, but the handwriting is still very clear.
Therefore, my cheap father has arranged a marriage for himself!
Then I don't know it at all.
"Wang Zhonghou, do you know?"
"I don't know, this old slave, this..."
Looking at Deng Xing's annoyed face, Zhu Youde said: "Who else knows about this?"
"The Prime Minister of the late emperor's dynasty!"
