Early in the morning, Guangdong Tixing and Inspector arrived at the Moonlit Tower of Twenty-Four Bridge. Although Zhu Zhanzhen said it was noon, he arrived at dawn.
There was a special fragrance next to the brothel. Fang Shi twisted his nose. He was a very clean man, but this languorous and chaotic fragrance made him quite uncomfortable.
"Master, do you need to wait here so early?" Fang Shi's entourage asked curiously.
"Sincerity."
As the sun rose high, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind him. Fang Shi turned his head, and the sun was dazzling. Under the light, Huang Huihong came riding a tall horse.
Huang Huihong smiled crookedly, looking slightly ferocious: "Brother Fang, why are you here?"
Fang Shi was speechless for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Huang, why are you here."
"I went back last night and thought about it. Brother Fang and Brother Jin can ignore His Majesty Prince Zhujiang and think that he is a child, but I can't. I am His Majesty's subordinate. If you are disrespectful, it is disrespectful to His Majesty. This
His Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County brought you the Yongle Emperor Sword this time. I still want to live for a few more years."
Fang Shi was immediately embarrassed: "Brother Huang, don't talk nonsense. How could I be disrespectful to His Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County?"
The two of them found a tea stall at the door and sat down. They never saw Jin Wu, thinking that maybe he really wouldn't come.
The sun continued to rise high, and the sun at noon in summer was the most scorching. When noon arrived, there was no movement on the Twenty-Four Bridge under the moonlit night. The two finally lost their temper.
Huang Huihong walked to the door and pushed it in gently. There was the sound of the flute inside, and the two of them followed the sound of the flute and walked upstairs.
Upstairs, Zhu Zhanzhen was lying down listening to music. Because it was too hot, he wore simple clothes underneath. Four oirans played together, and Li Xiaozhu was peeling fruits for him.
And Jin Wu, who they had always thought had not come, was already sitting aside, eating fruit by himself and listening to the music happily.
"Why did you two come so late?" Jin Wu was a little surprised, but immediately smiled with a smile on his face: "I have been here with His Highness to listen to the music for almost two hours, and watched the dance several times.
.”
Good guy, you are the one who is trying to persuade us not to come. Now you are the first and most diligent one to come. You have done it all by yourself, co-writing the good and bad guys.
Just now the two of them didn't come, Jin Wuke secretly said several times that they were disrespectful to Zhu Zhanchen, to remind Zhu Zhanchen that they never came.
Fang Shi said respectfully: "I don't know that His Highness has woken up, but the two of us have been waiting outside the building."
Zhu Zhanyi seemed not to have heard the two people talking. At this time, Jin Wu held a luminous cup filled with purple-red juice and handed it to Zhu Zhanyi: "Your Highness, this is a luminous cup from the Tang Dynasty. There is a luminous cup of Shiyun Grape Wine.
I thought that His Highness might not like drinking, so I brought a pot of the famous purple flower liqueur. The alcohol content is low, so His Highness can drink it without any problem."
The luminous cup contains wine, which is really beautiful.
Zhu Zhanchen took the cup and asked an unexpected question.
"It's not poisonous."
"Your Highness is really good at joking." Jin Wu still maintained his approachable smile.
Zhu Zhanzhen handed the wine to Xiaosheng. Xiaosheng poured some out, took a sip first, and then said: "Your Highness, it is very sweet."
He took back the wine glass and put it aside: "I don't like sweet things, but this glass is very good."
"Your Highness, good things come in pairs." Jin Wu took out another exquisite box, opened it and there was a moonlight cup inside, which made a perfect pair.
Seeing Jin Wu's behavior, the two of them understood that Jin Wu deliberately prevented the two of them from coming last night, and he had prepared gifts long ago. If he really fell into his trap, Zhu Zhanyi would not return the gift from now on. Don’t give yourself small shoes to wear every day.
At this time, Liang Fu, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, came late wiping his sweat. He was also waiting outside, but he and Fang Shi were not in the same place. Seeing that the time was wrong, he came in on his own.
Seeing that all four of them had arrived, Zhu Zhanchen sat up and said, "Four, I am new to Guangzhou Mansion. I hope you will take care of me in the future."
"Your Highness, if this is where you are, it is your Highness who will take care of the four of us."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Others echoed Jin Wu's words.
"I took a look at your information on the way here. They are all ministers of my great Ming Dynasty."
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
"You may not be very familiar with me, so let me introduce myself."
"I am the fifth son of Prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanyang. I behave according to rules and pay attention to rules. I am not usually close to women and am diligent in official duties. I am a person who attaches great importance to etiquette and law and I will not see others transgressing."
Several people were sweating profusely, telling lies with their eyes open in broad daylight.
"I came to Guangzhou to do only three things: economy, military, and culture."
"It stands to reason that I am just a county prince who is out to serve as a vassal, and I have no decision-making power on many matters in Guangzhou. But since the emperor has given me some military power, I can't live up to the emperor's trust. I can't spend every day eating, drinking and having fun. , you have to do something serious."
"What His Highness said is absolutely true! Guangzhou Prefecture will definitely get better and better under His Highness's wise leadership." Jin Wu answered hurriedly.
Zhu Zhanzhen continued: "My vassal is in Guangzhou. Only the commander-in-chief Si Huang of the three divisions in Guangdong is related to me. The other two have met today. You are not affiliated with me. If you are willing to come to see me, you have already It’s very honorable, Zhan is young, but I accept your wishes, so if there is nothing else, please leave first.”
When Jin Wu heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? We are all your Majesty's ministers and royal ministers. We all came here specially to listen to your Highness's teachings. If we didn't hear it, we would definitely regret it." and."
Fang Shi also said: "My master Hu Guang wrote a special letter to Wei Chen, saying that I should listen to His Highness the Fifth Highness in everything. His Highness the Fifth Highness is very smart and should be regarded as a dragon or a phoenix among people."
Jin Wu and Huang Huihong glanced at Fang Shi disdainfully, "Why do you, a master, say something different every time?"
"Hu Ge is always your teacher?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Very good. Mr. Hu Ge and I have a very good relationship. When I assisted in supervising the country, I received a lot of help from Mr. Hu Ge."
Now that I have been given the power, I have to build a good relationship with a few people. After all, many things have to be done by a few people.
Zhu Zhanzhen took out the map of the Chief Secretary of Guangdong, pointed to the location of Xiangjiang Village and Macau and said: "I plan to separate these two places into separate counties and put them under the direct jurisdiction of Guangzhou Government. I don't know how many people will build a port in Xiangjiang Village. What do you think?"
The first important thing came, Zhu Zhanchen had to see how many people reacted.
Huang Huihong was a warrior, but his home was in Dongguan County, not far from Xiangjiang Island. He had been there before, so he said directly: "Your Highness, I am a warrior. I don't know much about things like ports, but the port is built in such a close location. Besides, the place is very desolate, so you should think twice."
Huang Huihong has been the least flattering since he came in. It can be seen that he is average in his flattery and his words are not as nice as the others, but now he is the first to express his opinion.
The other people also questioned why a port should be built here. The imperial court's order to impose a sea ban has not yet been issued, but since Zhu Di wants to do it, it will definitely be done, and it will definitely be done within this year.
Jin Wu was keenly aware that Zhu Zhanzhen's actions must have a profound meaning, but he had limited information and did not say anything.
Seeing that several people were silent, Zhu Zhanzhen paused for a while and said: "There is also this place. This place used to be a wasteland. I plan to set it up in the county as a place for foreigners to stop and rest in the future to facilitate management.
