"Unfortunately, I saw a murderer just after returning to the capital!"
Because Zhu Gaochi was bringing the Burmese king who was canonized by the Ming Dynasty back to Beijing, he had to take a fast boat first and enter the inner city of Yingtianfu from the small canal to prepare for the corresponding matters. The Burmese king also took a slow boat to enjoy the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty on the water.
Waterscape.
After entering the small canal, transfer from the express boat to the horse-drawn carriage and take the Taiping Gate.
Outside Taipingmen are the outer offices of the three departments of the Ming Dynasty, namely the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
When the city was first built in response to Tianfu, it was compared with the stars of heaven and earth.
This area is formed by the seven constellations of the Big Dipper intersecting the beads, which in astrology means the Heavenly Prison.
Emperor Taizu Gao once threatened the officials of the Third Division, saying that if there are no other stars among these seven stars, it must mean that you have enforced the law and there is no malpractice in the world.
But once other stars are mixed in, and they are even brighter than the Big Dipper, then it must be a case of unjust, false and wrongly convicted being punished.
Since it is the outer office of the Third Division, and the terrain is yin, it has naturally become a place of murder...a place for large-scale killings.
Because so many people were killed during the Hongwu period, the road Zhu Gaochi is taking now is privately called Guqigeng by the people!
Today there is an execution going on here, and it smells like blood even though it's so far away...
"Tsk tsk!" Zhu Gaochi lifted the car curtain and took a look, then shook his head and put it down. He closed his eyes and said to himself, "I really don't know what's so good about killing people. These common people are like looking at the God of Wealth, rushing up like crazy.
!”
"Your Highness, are you tired?" Deng Ping, who was sitting opposite Zhu Gaochi in the same carriage and came specifically to pick him up, asked.
"It's okay!" Zhu Gaochi wrapped his fur coat tightly, "What day is it today? Why is there another killing over there?"
"You still don't know...?" Deng Ping smiled and recounted the major events that have happened in Beijing these days.
"Well! The worm of the country deserves to be killed!"
Zhu Gaochi listened patiently, nodded repeatedly, and looked upright.
But he was cursing in his heart, "If I'm not in the capital, no one can take care of Xiangzi! Look, your fucking bestiality is showing again!"
The car drove slowly into the inner city without any obstruction. When it arrived at the Meridian Gate and Zhu Gaochi was about to get out of the car, two more guards ran out from inside and shouted loudly, "The emperor has a decree. His Majesty the Crown Prince has worked hard all the way, and the special decree can be given."
Enter the palace in a sedan chair!"
In front of the Meridian Gate, when officials were coming in and out, this special edict immediately attracted countless people to exclaim.
"Your Highness!" Deng Ping got off the carriage first and said with a smile, "Please change to a soft sedan!"
"No, no, no, no!" Zhu Gaochi said repeatedly, "How can I receive such a great favor if I have contributed nothing to the country?"
"Long live the Lord's orders!" Deng Ping still smiled.
"It's necessary!" Zhu Gaochi waved his hand stubbornly, "The emperor has great love, but I must have the heart to abide by the integrity of my ministers!" As he said that, without looking at the apricot-yellow soft sedan, he walked in through the Meridian Gate with his hands behind his back.
~~
"I tell you, it's better for us to live in the Ming Dynasty!"
As Zhu Gaochi walked, he kept talking, "Even the palace of King Burmese is not as big as the toilet in the Forbidden City!"
Deng Ping was slightly startled when he heard this. Although he had never been to Myanmar, he felt that what Zhu Gaochi said must be exaggerated.
"Smaller than the Goryeo Palace?"
"Well... so delicate!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "It has to be our Ming Dynasty, the weather of the Celestial Dynasty!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Deng Ping stood behind him, looking like a chicken eating rice.
"I'm telling you!" Zhu Gaochi said again, "King Namian looks like Zhu Bajie's second uncle. If the silk of our Ming Dynasty is worn on him, it will ruin our silk!"
"Well, yes, yes!" Deng Ping said again.
"That country bumpkin, huh!" Zhu Gaochi said again, "I took him all the way to the Ming Dynasty, and I saw everything was new! He is just like a country bumpkin!"
"Yes, yes!" Deng Ping frowned, but he could only say yes.
"But you are really rich, you are really rich in mines!" Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice and said with a wink, "The gold and silver mines in Burma are the private property of their earth kings. Come to our Ming Dynasty to see the emperor.
, Jinsha just filled half the boat!”
Deng Ping was startled again, thinking about the amount of half a ship of gold sand.
Zhu Gaochi whispered again, "I'll give you a few boxes later. Those things are pure and can be used for goldsmithing!"
"Um... you will not be rewarded if you are a low-ranking official without merit?" Deng Ping replied.
"Tsk!" Zhu Gaochi was dissatisfied and tapped his belly, "Are we outsiders?"
When he said this, Deng Ping immediately understood that they had fought side by side when the emperor was assassinated.
"There are also Burmese women!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "It's a bit dark, but she has a smooth figure..."
"Haha!" Deng Ping didn't know what to say and could only giggle.
Then he lowered his head and wondered, why did His Highness, the Crown Prince, go to Myanmar once and seem to have some changes?
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi in front stopped suddenly.
Deng Ping was caught off guard and almost hit Zhu Gaochi on the back.
Then Zhu Gaochi knelt down with a plop and said loudly, "My lord, long live my emperor!"

"Hong Xi!" Zhu Yunxi came out of the Qianqing Palace, walking as fast as flying. "It's been a hard journey!" He said, holding Zhu Gaochi's arm, "Get up and come into the house to talk to me!"
"My lord, how could you be so virtuous as to allow your majesty to come out to greet you in person... I feel ashamed of this!" Zhu Gaochi said hurriedly.
"One family does not talk about two families!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and took Zhu Gaochi's hand into the palace side by side.
"Give Hong Xi a seat, get a chair!" Zhu Yunxi casually sat down on the Arhat bed in the Nuan Pavilion and said to the bastard, "Give me tea, give Hong Xi milk tea, it needs to be hot!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Zhu Gaochi's eyes had been looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yunxi touched his face, "Is there flowers on my face?"
"The emperor has lost weight!" Zhu Gaochi sighed.
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi nodded with a smile, "A lot of things happened during the days when you were away from the capital. Alas...it's hard to describe in words!" He said, and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "You seem...No, you are so out of character.
After traveling far away, why do you seem to be fatter than before?"
"My lord, if you have a broad heart, you will be fat!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "You are just heartless!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed again, "Everything goes well in Myanmar?"
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi stood up and said solemnly, "Under the great power of tomorrow, everything will go smoothly!" After saying that, he paused and said, "I summoned twelve Burmese nobles and one hundred and thirty-eight ministers to give you this warning.
The ancestors of heaven and earth declare my emperor’s canonization edict in front of the king of Burma!”
"The King of Burma and his subjects in Burma, I kneel down and listen. In front of the gods of heaven and earth, I swear that I will always be my servants of the Ming Dynasty, accept the grace of my great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and be my Chinese people!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, then smiled, "That's a good attitude!"
"You must be sincerely convinced!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that they were willing to be China's servants for generations. Just listen to the words. Without absolute strength, everything is in vain.
Zhu Gaochi added, "The king of Burma, Minde Dopaye... was the only orthodox king of Burma who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty. Modeled on our old system of the Ming Dynasty, we set up the left and right prime ministers, both of whom are descendants of the Han family. We also set up the general manager of the Myanmar National Bank.
One person, two general officers..."
Zhu Yunxi listened silently and kept nodding.
The meaning of Zhu Gaochi's words was very clear. The new king was just a decoration, and all the power was in the hands of Ming Dynasty or people close to Ming Dynasty.
"In addition, the Myanmar seaport has begun to take shape!" Zhu Gaochi added, "But there are still too few merchant ships traveling between Daming and Myanmar!" He said, paused, "Well, the population is also small. Especially especially
The troops stationed in Myanmar are all thinking of their loved ones and looking forward to their family reunions!"
"I have given an order!" Zhu Yunxi said, "All merchant ships going to Myanmar will be exempted from tax by 30%. If they are trafficking in rice and grain, they will be exempted from tax!"
"I also asked the Ministry of Household Affairs and the specially established Burmese Taxation Department to encourage trade between the Ming Dynasty and Burma. I also issued a decree to encourage private immigration!"
If the Ming army in this era cannot hear the word money, then the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty in this era cannot even hear the word profit.
As long as there is profit, those businessmen will dare to go to Myanmar, let alone hell.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi asked again, "What do you think of that so-and-so Paye...?"
"Dedopaye..." Zhu Gaochi reminded.
"Well, just him!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "How is he?"
