"That's all!" When facing the old ministers, Zhu Yunxi always looked like a benevolent emperor and said with a smile, "Forget it. A group of white-haired old ministers kneel to me, a young emperor, how can I bear it?"
After saying that, he ordered to the people next to him, "Bring stools for them to sit on, and serve them tea and snacks! They are old and have bad teeth, so pick some soft ones and bring them!"
The old military princes thanked them again, and they all seemed to sit down tremblingly, as if they were really old. But after sitting down, their eyes quietly glanced at Li Jinglong next to them.
The latter lowered his head, looked at his toes, and remained silent.
"What day is it today? Why are everyone here?" Zhu Yunxi sat lazily and smiled casually, "You came to the palace to see Grandpa Huang?"
"This..." The old military princes looked at each other in private, and then looked at Feng Sheng.
Feng Sheng sat down with his rickets, as if he was asleep.
He is a rare literate person among these people. He went to a private school when he was young, so he still has some sense. If everyone comes together to beg the emperor, he is naturally willing to come. But if the everyone asks him to come forward, he will be a hundred
Not willing.
You are right to think so, and you are right to do so. But because of this kind of character, when Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun and others were still alive, no matter how many contributions the Feng brothers made, they were still not the nobles of Huaixi.
army head.
"That's strange!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "All of you, my dear friends, have been all-powerful figures all their lives. Why are you all so arrogant now? What's the matter?" He said with a smile, "Hey, I'm going to say it first, don't be afraid.
Whose child has broken the law again? Come here to ask for mercy from me?"
"I guess no one has committed any crime!" Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, said with a smile, "I'm looking for Long Live Lord because..." As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong, "I'm waiting for you
I heard that Duke Cao Guo brought back some good things from overseas, so I thought..."
"Ha, what's this?" Zhu Yunxi laughed heartily, "If you don't come to me, I will come to you!"
Well, all the old killers opened their eyes with eyes shining brightly.
Feng Sheng, who was pretending to be asleep, was not even half sleepy at the moment and was more energetic than anyone else.
"Yesterday Duke Cao Guo sent some things to the palace." Zhu Yunxi said and smiled, "The things are good, but I can't use them all by myself. Besides, there is no shortage of these in the palace!" He said, waving, "bastard."
shame!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go and convey the order, and bring back some of the agate, beeswax, jade, etc. that Duke Cao Guo sent in yesterday for each of you dear friends!" Zhu Yunxi smiled at the veterans, "I also know that your family may not be short of it, it is not valuable.
, take it back and show it to your children and grandchildren as a toy!"
"I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness!" Several veterans thanked him in unison.
"As for Nanyang and Luzon, although it is a foreign country, it is really a good place!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I just listened to Duke Cao Guo telling me for a long time. You should also listen to it!" He said, giving Li Jinglong a look.
The latter immediately burst into laughter and said, "What the Lord Long Live is saying is that at first I thought that place was full of savages who lived on their hair and drank their blood. But when I got there, I saw that there were mountains and forests all over the place, countless rare animals, and all kinds of pearls and gems!"
"Half a set of Guangzhou porcelain wine sets was replaced with rubies as big as eyeballs. There are gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, and alluvial gold in the river. Tsk tsk, money is everywhere in my eyes!"
"If you just listen to this, you will definitely not believe it, right?" Zhu Yunxi then spoke and said to the old killers, "When he first came back to Beijing to see me, I thought he was crazy and was talking about bullying.
Your words!"
As he spoke, he laughed and said, "It has only been a few days, and everything brought back by the fleet has been put into the inner treasury. The sand gold alone is so old. I asked people from the Ministry of Industry to look at it this morning, and when they came back, they told me that there was nothing there."
A little bit of impurity.”
The monarch and his ministers sang in harmony, and the old killers' eyes turned blue and they became angry.
They are blind to gold and silver, and they will never change it in their lifetime. When we fought with the old man, as long as the old man said that after the city is broken, the gold and silver in it will be yours, and I will not take a penny. These killers will scream.
Rush upward.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Zhang Wen, the elderly Marquis of Huining, said, "Since that place is so good, why didn't our Ming Dynasty just send troops to grab it... and occupy it!"
"Across the vast sea, it's not easy to fly. If you want to go there again, you have to go to sea again!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "You can't just send Li Jinglong out day and night just to get gold and silver from other countries, can you?"
Suddenly, Zhu Shou, the Marquis of Shunshao, said, "Old minister, you can go!"
"My beloved, you are joking. The vast sea is so dangerous! My dear friends are already old. If something happens to you, what will the world say?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"If you can't wait, you can let your heirs go!" Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, also said hurriedly, "I have a lot of sons, all of whom are fat and have fat faces. If they stay at home, they will either harm the maids or fight and have fun.
"
"I have a lot of sons too, my old minister!" Lao Shacai, who was standing next to him, also shouted after him.
Suddenly, in their sight, Zhu Yunxi's face became solemn.
"I understand. You came to me today because you want to go to sea!" Zhu Yunxi said, sitting up straight and saying, "You are jealous when you see Li Jinglong bringing back so much wealth, right?"
The old killers all shrank their necks and remained silent.
Zhu Yunxi pretended to be angry and said, "Li Jinglong's original intention when he went out was to show off our country's prestige. He brought some goods back just as a side trip. Besides, which of you is short of such things? In order to make some money, he had to go to sea. The courtiers knew what was going on.
Say? That’s outrageous!”
"Um..." The idiot Cao Cao said with a flat belly again, "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is jealous, it's just that there are so many children in the family who have not made much progress. If this continues, sooner or later, everything will be in vain!"
"What nonsense? The noble Marquis can't afford to raise his son?" Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
"I have many sons. In addition to my legitimate sons, I also have a lot of bastards. I am still alive and well. But when I give up, my sons will definitely have a separation. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. By then, the legitimate sons will be rich and popular, and the bastards will be rich.
Drink the northwest wind. It’s not that the old ministers can’t see their wealth, but it’s that they can’t see their children and grandchildren suffering!”
When Cao Zhen said this, these veteran killers all shouted at Qu.
"I also know your difficulties. Now you are living on your family's farm!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "But after all, there is no precedent. He, Li Jinglong, went to sea in the name of the imperial court!"
"What about you? In what name? Robbery under orders...to make money under orders?"
"There is no reason for you to make money, let the country provide ships and people!"
Cao Zhen said hurriedly, "Long live my lord, veterans can buy a boat and go to sea!" After saying that, he thought for a while, "I have more than 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in cash at home...
..”
Sometimes these old guys are really messy, but sometimes they are really good.
Cao Zhen's family, let alone 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, could even get it out after a few somersaults. He kept saying that it was only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Isn't it just to cry out for poverty?
"As for manpower, I don't have anything else in my family, but I have many sons! With many sons, the veterans around me can also make up a few hundred people! When we get there, these hundreds of people, regardless of their age, will kill people with knives...
..."
As he was speaking, someone suddenly pulled off his sleeves.
Looking down, Guo Ying kept winking at him and said angrily, "Fourth brother, why are you dragging me down? You haven't finished speaking yet!"
Li Jinglong took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Long live my lord, if these old princes really do this, going to sea will not be a big deal. Besides, since we want to do business there, there must be some people from the Ming Dynasty there, right?"
"He finally said something humane!" All the old assassins cursed in their hearts.
