In the front yard of Prince Fu's Mansion, more than a thousand fully armed colorful stone soldiers were waiting in strict formation. The exits in all directions were tightly sealed. There was a post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps!
At this time, the courtyard was filled with dozens of large boxes, and more than twenty accountants in long gowns, with their abacus crackling, and page after page of property accounts being constantly re-counted and audited!
Wang Yinchang was dressed in official robes, and was escorted by more than a dozen tall and strong military men. He walked here and there from time to time, looking for fear that something might go wrong!
Although Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was extremely reluctant, the wealth he had accumulated for decades fell into the hands of Liu Ruyi and Caishijun so easily, but looking at these murderous soldiers, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. !
Again, if you don’t have strength, even if you are a golden person, your little arms still can’t twist your thighs!
The eldest son Zhu Yousong was originally watching in the front yard to prevent errors in the accounts, but after watching for a long time, he felt his heart was bleeding, and he was worried about his father's health, so he simply came to the backyard to check Zhu Changxun's physical condition!
~~~~~
At this time, in the luxurious palace in the backyard of the palace, Zhu Changxun was lying tiredly on the huge gold-rimmed soft couch, motionless!
If it weren't for the trembling of his fat belly, others would have thought he was dead!
The surrounding guards and maids have all hid far away. They only dare to watch and serve from the outside, for fear that if they are not careful, they will touch the prince's already sensitive nerves and risk his life!
In the huge palace, only Zhu Changxun groaned softly as if he was out of breath!
"Father, are you okay?" At this time, the crown prince Zhu Yousong walked in quickly and asked in a worried voice.
Zhu Changxun opened his eyes and saw that it was his son, but he burst into tears, "My son, we, our palace is over now! The lonely king is old, it's nothing, but, but you still You are young! How are you going to spend the rest of your life?"
"Father!"
Zhu Yousong's tears also flowed out. He held Zhu Changxun's hand tightly and said with tears: "Didn't Wang Yinchang say that the Duke of Qi will purchase our land at the market price? Father, when the time comes when the Duke of Qi pays the money, we, father and son, will If we invest in more shops and businesses in Luoyang City, life may not be worse than now! Father, we still have to look forward!"
Zhu Changxun shook his head in pain, "Oh my God! What kind of evil have you done! How can I, the great Ming Dynasty, be at the mercy of a warrior!"
"Father, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!" Zhu Yousong was frightened and hurriedly covered Zhu Changxun's mouth, "Father, the situation is stronger than human beings! You and I, father and son, still need to be patient!"
The more Zhu Changxun thought about it, the angrier he became. He pushed his son's hand away and said, "Patience, patience! How can you, the lonely king, endure this? This is all the family property left to our father and son by our ancestors! Ah~~~!"
Zhu Yousong looked at his father's hysterical appearance and didn't know how to comfort him. He could only accompany his father and they shed tears!
After crying for a long time, both of them were tired. Zhu Changxun sighed and said: "If, if my father were alive, how could my son and I be so humiliated? Father, father!"
Zhu Changxun climbed off the soft couch and knelt down toward the northeast. Regardless of his fat body, he kowtowed as hard as he could!
Zhu Yousong didn't know what to say, he just knelt down with his father, his face full of sadness!
At this time, a guard reported at the door: "The prince, the prince, Wang Shaoyu, Lord Wang are here to visit!"
Zhu Changxun was startled and glanced at his son. Zhu Yousong was also confused and shook his head.
"Help, help me up!" Zhu Changxun stretched out his hand to his son, and Zhu Yousong quickly helped him up and sat on the soft couch beside him!
"Song'er, tell me, Wang Shaoyu is powerless now. Why did he come to our palace?" Zhu Changxun glanced at Zhu Yousong with some doubts.
Zhu Yousong has been mentally and physically exhausted by the Caishi Army's acquisition of land in the past few days. He really doesn't know what Wang Shaoyu is busy with at this time. When his father asked, he shook his head in confusion, "Father, Wang Shaoyu could be considered a figure before, but unfortunately, now that Liu Ruyi is here, he is not even a hair! He is just a bug! Father, if you don’t want to see him, just send him away! You can save yourself seeing him again. Annoying!"
Zhu Changxun nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the guard said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang said he has something important to discuss with you! And, he, he came in through the small door in the backyard!"
"Well?" Zhu Changxun frowned and looked at Zhu Yousong.
"Father, maybe there is something wrong with this guy! How about we, let's meet him?" Zhu Yousong said.
Zhu Changxun also saw something unusual in his son's expression. He nodded and said to the guard: "Go and ask Mr. Wang to come in! Oh! Remember, take the small door and don't let others see it. Let him go to the side hall. wait for me!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~
In the side hall, after many days, Prince Fu and his son once again saw Wang Shaoyu, who seemed to have been silent for a long time!
"See you, Prince!" Wang Shaoyu smiled and saluted Prince Fu and his son. Although he looked a little tired, he was in great spirits!
There was no maid to serve tea, so Zhu Yousong personally poured a cup of hot water for Wang Shaoyu.
Zhu Changxun glanced at Wang Shaoyu and said calmly: "Master Wang, the father and son of the lonely king are like dogs in the water. What do you mean by your visit today?"
Although he couldn't show his courage in front of Liu Ruyi, Zhu Changxun was a golden person after all. In front of a down-and-out official like Wang Shaoyu, he still had confidence!
"Haha! Your Majesty, look what you said! You are a direct relative of the Tian family, how can you, how can you compare yourself like this?" Wang Shaoyu smiled awkwardly, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, today, I am here. , but there is really something that I want to discuss with you and the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Changxun and Zhu Yousong were both on guard. In this situation, Wang Shaoyu was the real 'dog in the water'. What kind of ivory could come out of his dog's mouth?
However, looking at Wang Shaoyu's confident look, the father and son looked at each other, and Zhu Yousong coughed lightly, "Mr. Wang, you must also know that these days, Gu and his father are busy acquiring fertile land with the Caishi Army. I’m really tired of all the things I have to say. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
"Haha! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Shaoyu smiled faintly, but looked around a few times.
Zhu Yousong sneered and said: "Master Wang, there are only three of you and me here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Haha! The prince is still thoughtful!" Wang Shaoyu flattered him, but his face suddenly became serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, prince, during the time Liu Ruyi entered Luoyang City, what did you two do? Feelings?"
When Zhu Changxun heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry, "How do you feel? Wang, what do you mean? Don't you think the lonely king is not bothered enough? Get out! Get out of the lonely king!"
"My lord, please don't be angry yet!"
Wang Shaoyu bowed his hands with a shy face, and then said: "Xiaoguan knows that these days, Your Majesty, your heart is not happy! But, not only are you not happy, Xiaguan's heart is not happy either! He, Liu Ruyi, is arrogant.
He is domineering and arrogant, bullying his colleagues, excluding dissenters, and suppressing kindness! His heart is to be punished! I ask, is this world still the world of my Ming Dynasty? How can a warrior like him cause chaos? "
Zhu Changxun couldn't help but sneer, "Even the emperor can't do anything about him! What? Mr. Wang, can you do anything?"
"Hey~! Your Majesty, you are right! Is there any way? There really is one for me! But it depends on whether you and the Crown Prince have the courage!"
Wang Shaoyu smiled sinisterly, and a light flashed in his little eyes...
The affairs of Prince Fu's Mansion are going smoothly, and with the presence of Lu Weiqi, the Zhao family and the Huang family, and the wealthy businessmen in Luoyang City, they are very cooperative with the Caishi Army's affairs. This also makes it possible for Liu Ruyi's will to be realized in the shortest possible time.
Implement it within!
Over the past few days, the Caishi Army's sight has extended to every corner of Luoyang City, and everything is developing in the best direction!
As the accounting work of the good land in Prince Fu's Mansion is gradually completed, the Central Plains Chamber of Commerce, Lu Business Alliance, and Caishi Chamber of Commerce, the three powerful private capitals, have prepared huge sums of money and are ready to jointly cut this huge profit cake!
Liu Ruyi was in a good mood these days, and with beauty by her side, she had some free time. Liu Ruyi decided to take Dong Xiaowan with her to visit the world-famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang City!
White Horse Temple is known as the most ancient temple in the world. It was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was built when Buddhism was just introduced to China. It is known as the "ancestral temple" of Chinese Buddhism!
Dong Xiaowan originally believed in Buddhism. When he heard Liu Ruyi's suggestion, he couldn't help but feel happy. After a night of love, the two of them took hundreds of guards to the White Horse Temple not far east of Luoyang City!
Since the seventh year of Chongzhen's reign, natural disasters have occurred in Luoyang, and people's livelihood has been in decline. Along with this, the lives of the monks in the White Horse Temple have also been greatly affected!
Originally, there were more than a thousand professional monks in the temple, but now, due to famine and massacre, the monks' lives have been disrupted. In order to make a living, many people were forced to return to secular life and moved around. At this time, there were only a hundred monks in the White Horse Temple.
Almost an all-time low!
When they learned that Qi Duke Liu Ruyi was coming with his family, the abbot and the monks were overjoyed. Almost all of them mobilized outside the mountain gate to welcome Liu Ruyi and his entourage!
Because the Duke of Qi is famous all over the world, his arrival will mean that the temple will receive a lot of charity, and even a monk will naturally not have trouble with money!
"The poor monk has met the Duke of Qi and his wife!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi's carriage arriving, all the monks fell to their knees with a bang!
"Haha! Master, please get up! Everyone, please get up! Liu is disturbing the peace of Buddhism today, please forgive me!" Liu Ruyi smiled and helped the abbot up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the monks!
None of the monks expected that the world-famous Duke of Qi would be so humble. They were all overjoyed and returned the favor with their hands clasped together.
Dong Xiaowan also smiled and clasped his hands together, returning the courtesy to these monks one by one.
Although she was just a doting concubine, Dong Xiaowan also fell in love with the feeling of accompanying Liu Ruyi to many formal occasions in Luoyang City in the past few days!
When she came to Baima Temple this time, her biggest wish was to have a child!
As long as she can give birth to a son for the man in front of her, her status will be completely stable!
