In fact, although Luoyang has suffered from natural disasters and depression in recent years, due to the flow of the Yellow River, there is still a lot of fertile farmland in Luoyang City!
However, 90% of these top-quality lands and fertile fields are in the hands of Prince Fu and his son!
As the legitimate son of Emperor Shenzong (Wanli)'s favorite Concubine Zheng, although Zhu Changxun did not ascend the throne, he enjoyed all the other glory in the world!
On October 15, the 29th year of Wanli, he was canonized as King Fu. Soon after, Zhu Changxun got married. The wedding cost as much as 300,000 gold!
Even Guangzong Zhu Changluo is far from reaching such a scale!
In the forty-second year of Wanli, Zhu Changxun and his family settled in Luoyang. Emperor Wanli granted him 20,000 acres of good farmland and 1,000 salt quotations to show his love for his beloved son!
If these are just material things and cannot show Zhu Changxun's respect for his status, then the "Guobenzhu" during the Wanli Period was entirely caused by Zhu Changxun!
At that time, Emperor Wanli loved Concubine Zheng very much, and Zhu Changxun, the son of Concubine Zheng, was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Wanli!
In the Wanli Dynasty, for a long time, Emperor Wanli wanted to abandon his eldest son Zhu Changluo and make his third son Zhu Changxun the crown prince, abolishing the eldest son and establishing the younger one!
However, due to the firm opposition of Empress Dowager Li Xiaoding and other ministers, Emperor Wanli finally had to give up this idea and make his eldest son Zhu Changluo the crown prince!
But for this process, Emperor Wanli fought with ministers for fifteen years, forcing out four chief assistants, more than ten ministerial-level officials, involving more than 300 central and local officials, and more than 100 of them were imprisoned.
Dismissal, dismissal, dismissal!
Emperor Wanli even did not hesitate to abandon government affairs in protest!
Since then, Zhu Changluo of Guangzong, Zhu Youxiao of Tianqi, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, their father and son, have given Zhu Changxun a large number of rewards every time they ascended the throne, got married, or on every New Year's Day.
!
Fertile land, gold, silver, jewelry, fine wine and beautiful women, as long as they can give them, they are almost never stingy!
Just relying on these rewards, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Changxun and his son were the most wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty, and they were as rich as the country!
After all these years of accumulation, only the surplus grain that Zhu Changxun and his son had accumulated in the Luoyang granary, the figures are probably even more shocking!
But at this time, these fertile fields, grain and grass are about to become Liu Ruyi's bag!
~~~~~~
At night, Wang Chengen returned to Prince Fu's Mansion, but traveling with him was the new Luoyang Magistrate Wang Yinchang!
At this time, after the efforts of the crown prince Zhu Yousong to explain, Zhu Changxun's anger also subsided a little!
The situation is stronger than the person. Although he is stingy, he is not too stupid!
After all, Liu Ruyi's weather was over, and her little arm couldn't twist her thigh after all. Zhu Changxun learned from the pain and prepared to shed some blood to overcome this difficulty. Therefore, Zhu Changxun held a grand banquet for Wang Chengen's arrival!
However, even though it was a banquet, due to the blockade of the Caishi Army, there really wasn’t much to show off in the palace. Most of the tables were filled with vegetarian dishes, which might make people feel bad!
But at this time, no one was thinking about the food!
"Eunuch Wang, what do you mean by the Duke of Qi? Now, you are trying to pull Prince Gu and his son away!" Zhu Changxun had long since lost the arrogance he had during the day. He held Wang Chengen's hand and was about to shed tears!
The prosperity of the past has long since disappeared!
Emperors Shenzong and Guangzong have long since passed away. Now, no one can provide him with protection. Even if Zhu Changxun is a golden branch and a jade leaf, he can only recognize the reality at this moment!
Looking at Zhu Changxun's pitiful appearance, Wang Yinchang on the side couldn't help but sneered, 'If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Even now, you still have to bow to the Duke?'
Wang Chengen's face did not show too many emotional fluctuations. He comforted Zhu Changxun a few words, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, today, the Prefect Wang is also here.
Let’s open up the skylight and speak frankly! The matter has reached this point, and you must be aware of it, Your Majesty. If you want this matter to pass smoothly, we still need to negotiate carefully!"
Zhu Changxun's big face was filled with gloom, but he really couldn't find a better way. He nodded silently and said: "I am willing to listen to the prince's instructions!"
Wang Chengen nodded and glanced at Wang Yinchang, "Wang Zhifu, is it up to you to say this, or is it up to the Za family?"
Wang Yinchang knew that although Wang Cheng'en was an eunuch, he was still a guest at the Duke's house. Wang Yinchang did not dare to entrust him, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Everything is decided by the Duke!"
Wang Chengen sighed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp, "Your Majesty, hey!"
Wang Chengen seemed a little embarrassed to speak. He paused for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, in this battle of Luoyang, the Caishi Army suffered a lot of casualties, but it was difficult for the court to provide too much compensation for the time being! Therefore, these issues will be discussed.
We in Luoyang have to solve it ourselves! The result of my discussion with the Wang Zhifu is that a part of the money will be used as a pension for the son of Caishijun! The Caishijun will contribute money to purchase the land and grain in the hands of the prince at market prices!
In this way, you can get the best of both worlds!”
"What?" Zhu Changxun couldn't help but was startled and opened his mouth wide!
You can ask him to provide some money, you can ask him to sell some grain, but if you ask him to sell the land in his hands, this is absolutely impossible!
"Eunuch Wang, what do you mean by this? Why do the Caishi Army want to buy the land in the hands of the lonely king?" Zhu Changxun instantly became vigilant.
Wang Cheng'en couldn't help but shook his head. This lucky king really kept money to a certain limit! To this extent, he still didn't understand which one was more important, land or life!
"Prefect Wang, you, tell me!" Wang Chengen no longer wanted to talk to Zhu Changxun and said to Wang Yinchang who was standing aside.
"Haha! Okay!" Wang Yinchang raised his hands to Wang Cheng'en, cleared his throat, and then said: "Your Majesty, our Caishi Army will contribute money to purchase all the land and grain in the hands of Your Majesty! As for how much pension money Your Majesty is willing to pay, then
It can be converted into food or land. We will sort out the specific details in detail!"
"What? All, all the food and land?"
This time, not only Zhu Changxun opened his mouth wide, but the crown prince Zhu Yousong was also startled!
this……
Duke Guo of Qi also wanted to cut off the roots of King Fu’s lineage!
"Wang Zhifu, this, this matter?" Zhu Yousong glanced at Wang Yinchang, hurriedly raised his hands and said to Wang Chengen: "My lord, it is no problem to provide some money, some land, and some food, but, but Qi Guogong
If you want to take everything away from me and my son, this, this will be..."
Wang Chengen didn't talk much, just like an old monk in meditation, without any expression!
Wang Yinchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that! The city of Luoyang protected by our Caishi Army is in danger, and my subordinates want to be rewarded with military merit! Besides, our Caishi Army is not trying to seize the land of your palace by force. But buy it at the actual price, it’s fair and square, so what’s wrong with that?”
"This, this..." Zhu Yousong opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't say a word!
Zhu Changxun's face was already livid, and he cursed loudly: "Get out! Get out! Get out of here! You want the land of King Gu, unless King Gu is dead! King Gu doesn't believe it anymore. There is no room for reasoning in this world." ! Gu, the lonely king wants to inform the emperor and ask the emperor to make the decision for the lonely king!"
Wang Yinchang was also angry and sneered: "Your Majesty, before you speak, please understand the situation! I, the Colored Stone Army, will not take advantage of you! You also don't want to drink a toast or drink it as a penalty!"
"You! You..." Zhu Changxun pointed hard at Wang Yinchang, "What are you going to do? Do you still dare to attack the lonely king?"
Wang Yinchang sneered, "Your Majesty, if our Colored Stone Army hadn't defeated Li Zicheng's 500,000-strong army, you would have been a withered skeleton by now! How could you stand here and talk?"
"You, you..." Zhu Changxun pointed hard at Wang Yinchang and Wang Chengen, and was about to lose his breath!
Zhu Yousong hurriedly supported King Fu's body, slapped him on the back and pinched him, and this helped Zhu Changxun to calm down!
Wang Chengen also stood up at this time and said: "My lord, your prince, the answer given by the prefect Wang is already the best ending! If you are so stubborn, even if the Duke of Qi is willing to let you go, I'm afraid~~,"
Wang Chengen paused and said, "My subordinates will not let you go either!"
After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he strode towards the door without even looking at Prince Fu and his son!
Zhu Changxun was also panicked. Only then did he truly realize that Luoyang City had really changed. Even the emperor's personal eunuchs had no right to decide his life or death!
"This, this..." Zhu Changxun was trembling, but he had no clue!
He has lived for fifty-six years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a life-and-death situation!
"Prefect Wang, is there no room for relaxation?" Zhu Yousong still refused to give up and said to Wang Yinchang.
Wang Yinchang smiled and said, "My lord, you are a sensible person! Duke Qi is famous for his justice! If you continue to say it is unfair, then you can only go and talk to Li Zicheng!"
Zhu Yousong swallowed hard, "Then, what is the market price that Qi Guogong said?"
Wang Yinchang glanced at Zhu Yousong, "It's based on the current market price in Luoyang! It's as much as it should be! I, the Caishi Army, will not owe your palace a penny!"
Wang Yinchang paused and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have such a kind and righteous heart like the Duke of Qi. Not only you, but even the lower officials would not have expected it! Think about it carefully! With a large sum of money, what can you do? Good? It can win the trust of Duke Qi and protect the safety of the palace, so why not do it?"
Zhu Yousong nodded silently, but suddenly asked: "Qi, Qi Guogong, he, he won't regret it, right?"
"Hahaha!" Wang Yinchang couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Sir, I say it again, with the reputation of the Duke of Qi, is it necessary to do this to you and the palace?"
