Zhu Zhanzhen howled when he heard that Zhu Gaochi was trying to get him to pay again, and then followed Yu Qian into the palace.
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Zhanzong's bad expression and immediately said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty also considers the country. The Guangdong vassal has abundant tax revenue. This year, the tax revenue exceeds the sum of the two capitals, so your Majesty means that you can provide more support.
"
"Isn't most of the tax revenue turned over to the court? My father is clearly trying to cheat me out of my money. Although I am not short of money, I can't let him cheat me like this. My father was cheated a lot by Grandpa Huang back then.
Now it's his turn to trick me." Zhu Zhanchen was filled with grief and anger.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to say this." Yu Qian reminded him in a low voice.
Zhu Zhanchen thought carefully, and it seemed that Zhu Gaochi had other purposes for asking for money.
Zhu Zhanyi entered the palace and went straight to Zhu Gaochi's study. At this time, Yang Rong was here. He had just reported that Zhu Zhanyi had asked someone from Yingtianfu Imperial College to serve as the jury for the Hongxi Literature Award. Zhu Gaochi was frowning now.
Wrinkled together.
Zhu Zhanzhen came in just at this time, and Zhu Gaochi glared at him: "Look at what you did." Before Zhu Zhanzhen could ask him about the money, Zhu Gaochi asked first.
Zhu Zhanzhen was neither humble nor arrogant nor bowed his head: "Father, there is nothing wrong in what I do."
"You look like you were not as smooth as you were when you were a kid."
"It's not that I don't want to be diplomatic and sophisticated, it's just that I don't want to give in on this matter."
"Oh?" Zhu Gaochi asked with some confusion: "Then you can tell me why?"
Zhu Zhanyi took a step forward, but Zhu Zhanyi could not tell the real reason. After all, he wanted to break the original education system. Zhu Gaochi, a character who focused on stability, could not agree to this kind of thing, so he had to talk about it.
Got up.
"I'm not angry. I didn't invite them. When I sent the invitation letter, I tried my best to lower my status in the invitation letter and invited them. I went to the Imperial College in person and showed my attitude. Look at what they said about me.
of?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanzhen's angry look and softened his attitude a little. This group of literati was famous for their unpleasant words, and they used their unpleasant words to show off their righteousness.
This is what they often say, but if good advice is offensive to your ears, you have to focus more on it. Don’t just think about how it will offend your ears.
Zhu Gaochi suffered a lot from it, but in order to maintain his character, he could only endure it. Now looking at Zhu Zhanchen's aggrieved and unsatisfied look, Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhu Zhanyi couldn't stand these people anymore. His temper
Came up.
"Okay, okay, how old are you? It's not good to have a child's temper. Although the words of the literati in the Imperial College are a bit harsh, they are not unreasonable. Now that you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you should not be too radical in your actions.
It is even more important to weigh the pros and cons in an all-round way. This matter has made the people of the Imperial College unhappy, and it will be very detrimental to the Hongxi Literature Prize and Yenching University. You should calm down and think about it." Zhu Gaochi persuaded him sincerely.
Zhu Zhanzhen's expression softened a little: "Father, I don't want to, but I have already said what I said. If I lower my head, I will lose face, and those people don't know how to laugh at me. I
I can’t bear it.”
Zhu Gaochi sighed. Zhu Zhanzhen's words still had weight. Zhu Gaochi understood that it was impossible to make him humble, and he also had the idea of suppressing these people's wild speaking style.
"Let's do this. I will invite the Imperial Academy to offer wine and those members of the jury who had previously declined the invitation to gather together in the palace, including the four main judges, in the name of discussing the Hongxi Literary Award. At that time, I will personally speak out to calm you down.
The relationship between us is at a certain level, how dare they refute my reputation?"
Zhu Gaochi still believed that peace was the most important thing and planned to ease the relationship between Zhu Zhanzhen and the Imperial College.
Zhu Zhanzhen couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to forget it. The emperor had already spoken, and he carried it to his death to make Zhu Gaochi lose face. The relationship between father and son was not good, and the gain outweighed the loss.
Seeing Zhu Zhanzhen nodding, Zhu Gaochi smiled with satisfaction: "Then this matter is settled. Yang Rong, you have to go to the Imperial College, invite people here, be nice and angry, and I will issue an imperial edict.
."
The imperial edict was directly carried out, and those people naturally understood what the emperor meant, Yang Rong. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

He bowed and left, but Zhu Zhanyang hadn't left yet.
"Zhan Zhan, Yang Rong is doing this for your own good. Don't think he is complaining." Zhu Gaochi was afraid of Zhu Zhan because Yang Rong felt uncomfortable.
"My son is not such a petty person. I understand Yang Shaofu's intentions, and what he does is within his scope. Only if Yang Shaofu doesn't come to your place will I feel that he has neglected his duty. Father, don't worry." Naturally, Zhu Zhanyi was not satisfied.
I will hate Yang Rong for snitching on him because of this incident.
Zhu Gaochi nodded with satisfaction.
After talking about this matter, Zhu Zhanzhen could finally get down to business.
"Father, I heard that you want me to pay for my eldest brother's expedition ceremony?" Zhu Zhanchen immediately changed his attitude to questioning.
Zhu Gaochi had thought that Yu Qian would come when he asked Yu Qian to inform him, and had already made preparations.
He spread his hands and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
Zhu Zhanzhen was stunned, how could Zhu Gaochi still do this now? What can I say about this counter-general? It's wrong. He asked you what's wrong. If you said you don't want to pay for the eldest brother, it would look like a petty person.
But I can't let you be fooled, so Zhu Zhanzhen said: "Father, I don't have any money now. I have built two universities, and the Guangdong vassal has also spent a lot of money to build the South China Sea Fleet. Now I can't make ends meet."
Zhu Zhanzhen used the trick of the Han prince and cried poor.
But Zhu Gaochi didn't accept this trick. He and Xia Yuanji checked how much money Zhu Zhanyi had some time ago. He didn't know if he didn't check. He was shocked when he found out. The calculated figure was nearly half of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, and this was still
In this rough calculation, Japanese silver mines and the stocks of some listed companies have not yet been taken into account.
Of course, these are not all Zhu Zhanyi's private assets. They include the tax balance of the Guangdong vassal over the years and the assets of the royal palace. The tax balance of the Guangdong vassal over the years is the largest part, but even if only Zhu Zhanyi's personal assets are counted,
His wealth can still be regarded as the richest man in the current dynasty.
Just one company on Changcheng Town Street has assets worth as much as a vassal.
And his wealth is still increasing.
In fact, Zhu Gaochi and the others were relatively small, not counting the income from Nanyang ports, which was also a large part of Zhu Zhanzhen's income.
If it were you, your son's assets would be worth trillions, and you would also want to ask him to contribute more money.
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "I don't know how much money you have? It's just a small expedition ceremony. How much can it cost you? It's just a fraction to you. It can be regarded as your contribution to the Ming Dynasty. I am not
Let you reward the three armies."
"Father, there are really not that many rewards for the sons and ministers of the three armies."
"No?"
"Really not!
"
"Is there any problem with being responsible for your eldest brother's expedition ceremony?"
"It is the responsibility of the sons and ministers to share the worries of the eldest brother." Zhu Zhanchen cursed in his heart.
But he also knew that he must have paid this amount, and it was not too much after all. Zhu Gaochi proposed it himself, and he would definitely pay for it. He just had to come and talk about it, so as not to spend anything he didn't know about next.
sales project.
Zhu Gaochi pitted Zhu Zhanyi. This was undoubtedly the idea of the cabinet members. The main reason was to see Zhu Zhanyi's attitude. Prince Han had taught him enough lessons. They did not want Zhu Zhanyi, who was now younger and more powerful, to do so in the future.
He also did the same thing as the King of Han.
Let’s look at Zhu Zhanzhen’s attitude with some seemingly innocuous little things, such as breaking a point fee, breaking a point fee, etc.
There are two different voices among the cabinet members. One is that Zhu Zhanzhen is too powerful now, especially among neighboring countries. Zhu Zhanzhen's reputation is far greater than that of Zhu Zhanji, even in some places.
Many people only know that there was Zhu Zhanxing in the Ming Dynasty but not Zhu Zhanji. They think that Zhu Zhanxing is now the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.
However, there are also people in the cabinet who feel that everything Zhu Zhanxun does is beneficial to the country, and they have a very good relationship with Zhu Zhanji. The most important thing is that Zhu Zhanxang has not formed cliques or cliques in the court. This is also
The most reassuring thing about Zhu Gaochi.
The Prince of the Han Dynasty tried his best to get people to support him, but Zhu Zhanzhen basically kept a distance from the six important ministers. If the relationship was good, he was a minister of the Guangdong vassal, so he was naturally familiar with the people in the vassal territory.
, there are also Zhang Xianqi, Yu Qian and others, but the status and power of these people in the court are limited. @ESSENTIAL\/书馆·无码first release~~

They must be wary of the fact that Zhu Zhanzhen's party is united and opposes dissidents, but now there is no such thing. This also makes other people in the cabinet unable to say a word.
Really not, you can't accuse him unjustly, so they wanted to let the emperor try Zhu Zhanyi on some small things.
Now that everything is peaceful, normally the emperor should ask the vassal king to return to his fiefdom as soon as possible, and let him go after explaining the matter as he did to Zhu Zhancheng, but Zhu Zhancheng and the others deliberately wanted him to stay in Shuntian Mansion.
…
The next day in the palace, the emperor held a dinner party. The guests at the banquet were the doctors from the Imperial College of Shuntian Prefecture, as well as the Imperial College priests, secretary generals, chief registrars and others. There were more than forty people, many of whom were young.
When I entered the palace for the first time, I walked around the palace avenue and looked around with a bit of fear.
Xu Youzhen gained Zhao Rui's trust and came in with Zhao Rui at this time.
"Xu Youzhen, you are not allowed to look around. This is the palace, where His Majesty is. We will only go our own way and look ahead. If you look around, you will show your timidity." Zhao Rui gave a lesson.
"The teacher's lesson is that when students come here for the first time, they will inevitably feel frightened."
"You and I, who read the books of saints and sages, are walking on the path of saints. There is no need to be afraid wherever we go."
"Yes, sir." Although Xu Youzhen said this, he looked up at the majestic Fengtian Temple at dusk, and felt a sense of heroism in his heart.
I want to stand in it!
Zhu Gaochi held a dinner for them, but as the emperor, he would not be there from the beginning. Yang Rong hosted the dinner on his behalf.
Zhu Zhanzhen sat in the upper seat, followed by several chief judges of the Hongxi Literature Award, and then everyone from the Imperial College.
It was also the first time for Sun Zuo and Wen Taiqing's wife to enter the palace, so they were a little cramped, but the older people were more knowledgeable in what they did. They were just worried that if they encountered any unknown rules within the palace, they would be in trouble.
When everyone arrived, Yang Rong said: "Dear doctoral students of the Imperial College, today His Majesty the Ming Emperor personally hosted a banquet for you to discuss matters related to the Hongxi Literature Prize. His Majesty has always been frugal, and has never entertained such a grand banquet since he came to the throne.
Sir, all of you who are here are the people whose names are on your Majesty’s list. They are all outstanding talents and scholars, and I hope you can join us today and have a good drink.”
Yang Rong's words are just for the occasion, but everyone in the Imperial College must understand that the emperor is the host today, and the Hongxi Literature Prize is also the emperor. It's up to you.
Zhao Rui stood up while offering wine at the Imperial Academy: "We are deeply honored by your Majesty's banquet. I would like to suggest that all of you here have a drink first to thank your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Zhu Zhanzhen raised his glass symbolically, but he still felt unhappy in his heart when he looked at a group of elegant people dressed as elegant scholars.
But we have to do a good job with the Hongxi Literary Award first. If it’s not pleasant, don’t be happy. Out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, you basically don’t have to get along with these people.
Yang Rong walked up to the people of the Imperial College and said: "The selection for the Hong Xi Literary Award will soon begin. There is an endless stream of literati from all over the country. This event will definitely be the first grand event after His Majesty ascends the throne. You have outstanding talents and learning, and you have been invited to become the Hong Xi Literary Award."
The jury is composed of all of you, and you are doctors or gentlemen of the Imperial College. It is your duty to teach and educate people, and you cannot refuse it."
Several acquaintances from the Imperial College looked at each other a few times, then raised their glasses and saluted: "Young Master Yang, we are deeply honored to be selected for the jury, and we should do our best."
This is what they want, if they have enough face and good looks, that's enough. Even if they still don't like the Hongxi Literature Prize, it's a trivial matter. It's not as important as the emperor personally inviting him to a banquet and being a member of the jury.
The emperor personally hosted a banquet invitation, and it was always said when he returned. Among his colleagues, they were the only ones who had attended the emperor's banquet.
Yang Rong walked up to Zhu Zhanyi again and said, "Your Majesty, please say a few words."
Seeing that the people in the Imperial College were quite honest now, Yang Rong thought about asking Zhu Zhanzhen to say a few nice things and get over it.
Zhu Zhanzhen stood up. Yang Rong was still a little worried that Zhu Zhanzhen would say something bad, so he quietly reminded him: "Your Highness, just say a few words to show off."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I'm not that ignorant, it's almost enough." Zhu Zhanzhen's words made Yang Rong feel relieved.

Chapter 297 Youth Poetry
Ahem, all you great talents, Xiao Wang is very honored to have received your help for the Hong Xi Literary Award. Literature is the way of saints, and studying literature is for the common people in the world. You are the best among them. I hope that this Hong Xi Literary Award can be successfully completed.
"
Zhu Zhanzhen's words were very simple. He was too lazy to deal with these people, so he sat down after speaking.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen took his seat, the energetic young man started cheering.
"It is rumored that the King of the Sea of the Ming Dynasty is a suave, handsome, and has the best literary talent in the world. Hearing it a hundred times is better than seeing it. All the gentlemen here today are people in the literary world, and they have to be judged for the Hongxi Literary Award. Why don't you write a poem for me?"
Today’s event adds to the excitement and is the beginning of the Hongxi Literature Prize.” It was Xu Youzhen who spoke.
Zhu Zhanzhen saw that the young man who was speaking was young, full of energy, and suspected of stealing the limelight, so he asked: "Your Excellency."
Xu Youzhen immediately bowed to everyone and saluted: "Student, Xu Youzhen, a student of the Imperial Academy."
"Oh no, you're such a traitorous minister." Zhu Zhanchen almost shouted out, but he held it back. She was not yet a female official, but after knowing her, she became more and more displeased with her.
After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, so I asked: "Your real name is Xu Jue?" Historically, Xu Youzhen's name was changed later. It was not called Xu Youzhen at the beginning. It should have been changed after he became an official. Not to mention the same name and the same surname.
I blamed the wrong person.
Xu Youzhen was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, the student's real name is Xu Jue, and he later changed his name to Youzhen. Have you heard about me?" He didn't expect Haiwang to know about him, which made him very surprised, but he was also quite proud.
It turns out that it’s not strange, Zhu Zhanchen’s face twitched, that’s you. Although the time of the name change is wrong, it is impossible for the real name and the changed name to be exactly the same. It can only be said that the current history is somewhat different from the original one, which is reasonable.
"I haven't heard your story, but your face is full of stories."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
While the two were talking, the eunuch came over and shouted in a drake voice: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived."
Everyone saluted one after another: "Long live my emperor, long live him."
Zhu Gaochi came and learned that Yang Rong had almost settled the matter, so he came to show his face.
Zhu Gaochi, who had a rosy complexion, said, "I just heard that someone wants to write a poem, right?"
Xu Youzhen was impatient and wanted to express herself in front of Zhu Gaochi: "Your Majesty, the student heard that Prince Hai was the best literary talent in the dynasty, and wanted to see his style, so he boldly asked."
Zhao Rui looked sideways at Xu Youzhen, and then he realized that Xu Youzhen was so eager for quick success, and he regretted bringing him here.
Zhu Gaochi said with a full beard: "Okay, okay, okay, it has been many years since Zhan Yun, the poem you wrote last time about Qinyuan Chun and Yongle Emperor. You have not published any poems. Today, I just take advantage of this opportunity to compose one."
Poetry, opening the Hongxi Literature Award."
Zhu Gaochi also wanted Zhu Zhanyi to write a poem for him. After all, who wouldn’t want to leave a name in the literary world? Moreover, it was also to build momentum for the Hongxi Literature Prize. The more he did, the better. His son’s poetic talent could not be wasted.
Yeah.
"Father, I am in such a hurry that I am not prepared today."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Think about it, I care that all the students are teenagers, so I will write a poem with the theme of teenagers."
Zhu Gaochi must compose a poem by himself. Zhu Zhanchen suddenly thought and said: "Xu Youzhen is talented and famous, and I also know it. How about this, Xu Youzhen, you write a poem first. If you do well, I will reward you."
This is to give me some time to think about it."
Xu Youzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was worried that she wouldn't have a chance to show off, so this was no chance for her to show off.
