Chapter 206: Why do I need to pay back the money I borrowed?
"Are you kidding me? You are my dear brother. You are not confused."
Zhu Zhen said somewhat speechlessly.
Everyone in the palace knew that as the direct descendant of the crown prince, Zhu Yunshui had and could only have one eldest brother, and that was the King of Yu, Zhu Xiongying, who had passed away many years ago.
Ten years have passed, is it possible that he can still be resurrected?
"You're just confused. That's really my eldest brother. You know what happened to Xiaoling some time ago. That was Grandpa Huang's preparation for his eldest brother's comeback."
"Otherwise, you would think that the only one who could be so similar to my father is my eldest brother."
Seeing that Zhu Zhen didn't believe it, Zhu Yunxi directly argued that since he had already spoken about the matter about his eldest brother, he might as well tell it all.
Zhu Zhen already had three points of belief in these words.
Everyone knew about Xiaoling. Even at that time, he felt a little strange that something suddenly happened to the tomb of King Yu in Xiaoling.
Now when I compare them, they are completely matched.
This is the cleverness of Zhu Yuanzhang. He is not in a hurry to bring out his eldest grandson, but instead buries a seed first.
Well, who is not a little curious, especially those who live in the palace?
"You don't know yet, right now, my eldest brother is already living in Kunning Palace. Grandpa Huang said that this is where my eldest brother lived when he was a child. He didn't even live in the East Palace."
Seeing that Zhu Zhen was still a little confused, Zhu Yunxi once again broke the news.
Upon hearing this, all the doubts in Zhu Zhen's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.
What kind of place is Kunning Palace? It is a palace that only the mother can stay in, and it is connected to the father's palace.
Zhu Zhuan was so old that he went to his father's Qianqing Palace many times, but he had never entered the Kunning Palace, which was only separated by a wall.
Kunning Palace is taboo to the father. No matter how brave they are, no prince or grandson dares to play there.
There was an elder brother who did well in his homework and was praised by his father. The father promised him a reward.
Because Kunning Palace was very special among many princes and grandsons, the prince took advantage of the situation and proposed that he wanted to go to Kunning Palace to have a look.
In this way, among the many princes, he is the only one who has been to Kunning Palace.
However, a seemingly simple request made the originally smiling father's face suddenly darken.
The prince was reprimanded, all the rewards he had had were canceled, and he was also punished.
Since then, no prince or grandson has mentioned Kunning Palace.
With this kind of understanding, the only one who can live in Kunning Palace is King Yu Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Yan had no doubts about Zhu Yunxi's words.
Now that there is a master in Kunning Palace, we only need to send eunuchs to inquire about this matter, and they will know that it is impossible to cheat.
"It turns out to be true. Your eldest brother is really resurrected. This is simply amazing."
Zhu Zhen's expression, after a brief shock, was followed by excitement.
For a young man, the resurrection of a person who has been dead for ten years is very miraculous. And for Zhu Zhen, the sixteenth prince who was born as a concubine, whoever becomes the emperor actually has little to do with him.
Anyway, it is not his turn. Normally speaking, next year, the group of princes who have been crowned kings will go to the vassal territory, and there will be no summons from the emperor.
They also had no chance to return to the palace.
For the vassal king, the vassal land will be where he will live for almost his whole life in the future.
As for Qing Wang Zhu Zhuan, his vassal territory had already been arranged in Ningxia.
"Uncle Sixteen, I really treat you as a friend, so I told you about my eldest brother. Apart from you, there are only three other people who know about it, so don't tell it everywhere."
"Although Grandpa Huang has not expressed his position yet, I guess it is Grandpa Huang who wants my eldest brother to slowly integrate into the palace."
When Zhu Yunxi saw how excited Zhu Yuan was, he said with some worry at first. Then he seemed to be explaining to himself.
Zhu Zhuan asked: "Besides you and me, does anyone else in this palace know? Who is it? Tell me quickly."
Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but chose to speak out.
"First it was my sister and I, and then Uncle Seventeen was also arranged by the Emperor. Oh, by the way, my eldest brother hadn't even entered the palace at that time, so he built a teahouse in the city."
Speaking of the teahouse, Zhu Yunxi suddenly remembered something and said: "Some time ago, the emperor bought a lot of breakfast from outside the palace. Uncle Sixteen must have eaten it too."
"Those breakfasts are made in the teahouse that my eldest brother bought. How about it? It tastes very good."
Zhu Yunxi said with a somewhat proud tone.
"Such delicious buns are actually made by my eldest nephew. It's unbelievable. My eldest nephew is my eldest nephew. It's really amazing."
Zhu Yan was even more shocked.
The image of Yu Wang Zhu Xiongying was constantly being subverted in his heart.
It shows that the commander of the imperial guard has a training method that has never been seen in books, and then he is the eldest grandson, and he is so familiar with food.
Most of the princes in the palace are very interested in food.
At that time, those soft, white and tender buns that melted in your mouth caused a big disturbance in the palace, making many princes greedy, but they did not dare to ask their father.
After all, such delicacies must be hard-earned, and it is quite good to be able to enjoy them all. You must know how to be satisfied.
"Then, if I still want to eat those buns, I just need to tell my eldest nephew and that's it."
After saying this, Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Yunxi and said with a serious face: "You have to help me with this. In the academy, when you were sleeping, I protected you from the Master."
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
"As well as helping you with your homework, and last time, your sister was almost bullied, but it was me who helped you."
Zhu Zhen said with a serious face.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, worldly relationships, conflicts and disputes.
Zhu Zhuan's biological mother was Concubine Yu, so having a son like him was naturally much more precious.
In terms of status, although there is a gap in seniority between Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Zhen, they are actually equal, and the salary and treatment they enjoy are almost the same.
However, Zhu Yunxi lost his biological mother when he was a child. His stepmother Lu did not bully him, but she was definitely very different from his biological mother.
So in many aspects, Zhu Zhengke is much more domineering than Zhu Yunxi. After all, Concubine Yu will do her best to protect him and develop Zhu Zheng's character of not being afraid of trouble.
Zhu Yunxi said with a wry smile: "Uncle Sixteen, of course I remember how good you were to me and my sister. It's just a matter of having breakfast. It's not that troublesome."
"You don't even need to go to Big Brother specifically. Big Brother's teahouse is doing a good business in the capital. You can just ask someone to go outside the palace and buy it for you directly."
Zhu Zhen was stunned.
Some people said in disbelief: "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"Don't try to trick me."
"Uncle Sixteen will find out as soon as he sends someone there."
Just when Zhu Zhuan was about to say a few words, the sound of drums came.
This is the time to continue practicing.
The two men immediately stopped and trotted towards their formation.
...
"It's time to close the net. We have collected all the information on those profiteers. If one of them escapes, it will be a huge loss."
On the bank of the Qinhuai River, on the second floor of Ping'an Teahouse.
He now has the right to enter and leave the palace freely, and it is not easy to bring some issues regarding his own power to the palace for arrangement.
Therefore, Zhu Ying usually chooses to go out of the palace to discuss matters.
He left the palace this time just to make money.
In previous relief efforts in Henan, most of the chambers of commerce in Ming Dynasty had emptied their fortunes, and they also borrowed a lot of money from many chambers of commerce.
However, the chambers of commerce that Zhu Ying targeted were all serious profiteers, and they had no intention of repaying the money when they borrowed it.
Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability?
In order not to cause conflicts or affect the reputation of Qunying Chamber of Commerce, we can now catch all those profiteers in one go.
These businessmen are all speculators, unscrupulous people who steal the marrow.
Not to mention that the conscience is completely black, it not only does not help the development of Ming Dynasty's business, but also has a great impact.
They do not engage in production, but raise evil slaves, and all the money they get is from hoarding goods.
As long as you can make money, you can do any business.
After killing these, Zhu Ying felt no guilt at all.
Not only their debts, but all their property must also be confiscated.
"Don't worry, boss, there are enough manpower coming from the border. The details of those profiteers have long been discovered by our people."
"Including the place where they hid the silver, they have almost figured out everything. Now that the boss gives an order, they will not be able to escape even a tael of silver."
Zhang Bo said confidently.
Ever since Ye Yueqing took charge of the Gunpowder Department, the intelligence network under Zhu Ying once again fell into the hands of Uncle Zhang.
If it weren't for exploring where those profiteers hide their money, it wouldn't have been so long.
"Okay, then let's pass on the order and take action directly. However, although there are many bad guys, there will inevitably be good ones. I will send orders to the Jin Yiwei. When the time comes, remember to kill only the first culprit."
"As for the others, just go to the frontier and contribute to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Ying ordered.
Zhu Ying really couldn't accept the old man's method of killing a large area with one kill.
The current population of the Ming Dynasty is not very large, about hundreds of millions of people, and the registered population is only over 60 million people, so naturally they cannot kill them randomly.
"Yes, boss." Uncle Zhang replied.
"By the way, my boss, Princess Anxiu has been asking recently when they can arrange for troops to be stationed in Annan." Uncle Zhang added.
Zhu Ying did not live in the courtyard, so Chen Muyue, the eldest princess of Anxiu, had no choice but to look for Uncle Zhang every day.
Although Chen Muyue is equivalent to being abandoned, in her heart, Annan is the place where she grew up, and the existence of the Annan royal family is also a strong help to Chen Muyue.
That's why it's so hasty.
"Don't worry, the situation in Annan will not change drastically in a year or so, allowing her to calm down. Since I promised him, I will never break my promise."
"Also, all my disciples have arrived in the capital."
Zhu Ying thought for a moment and asked.
"Reporting to my boss, everyone is here, but there is no room for so many people in the yard, so we rented an inn and put them there temporarily," Uncle Zhang replied.
"Okay, let's inform them and ask them to wait in the yard at noon the day after tomorrow." Zhu Ying nodded and ordered.
"Yes, boss."
After arranging these things, Zhu Ying asked Jin Yiwei to summon a carriage to inspect sweet potatoes and other crops.
These crops are the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. The old man keeps a close eye on them. Zhu Ying is also worried that something will happen. He will go to inspect them every other day at most.
.....
The training of the palace guards in the palace will end when it is almost dark.
After all, there are many more rules in the palace, and currently Zhu Ying has no plans to conduct military training for the palace guards.
As an emperor and a minister, for Zhu Ying, the Xuanjia Guards were his direct subordinates, so they naturally had to be trained first.
After the training was over, many princes dragged their exhausted bodies back home.
Although it was very painful, even the twelve-year-old prince or grandson did not complain and endured the pain silently.
This is inseparable from Zhu Yuanzhang's current education.
In fact, even the deceased crown prince Zhu Biao was capable of both literary and martial arts, not just reading.
The ancient literati said that they had no strength to restrain a chicken, but that was relative to a warrior.
Not to mention anything else, if you just go to Beijing to take the exam, students who are a little further away have to climb mountains and wade through rivers, walking there one step at a time.
In terms of physical strength, he was not as unbearable as those of later generations.
The poor learn literature, the rich learn martial arts.
To learn martial arts, you have to eat well before you can learn martial arts, otherwise you will be doing yourself a disservice.
Students from better-off families will not neglect physical exercise.
At least in the early Ming Dynasty, most princes and grandsons, regardless of their ability to lead troops, were at least capable of fighting.
Zhu Zhuan returned to Zuoshunmen.
The people living here are all princes who have been crowned kings, including Zhu Quan, who also lives here and is served by eunuchs and maids.
Five people live in the left door, and five people live in the right door.
In addition to the two people, there is also the eighteenth son King Zhu Min.
Nineteenth son, King Zhu Lugu.
The twentieth son of King Zhu Song of Han.
We are all thirteen or fourteen years old, so we can get along with each other.
In ancient times, the left was respected, so according to the order, the princes who lived in the right gate were naturally ranked at the back.
"It's so tiring. When will this kind of training end? I don't know how long it will take before it ends." The Nineteenth Prince Zhu Su complained.
The person who complained was the vassal king who opened the city gate with Li Jinglong to welcome Zhu Di into the city during the Battle of Jingnan.
"Nineteenth brother, this is an opportunity given to us by our father. Let us see such a training method. When we go to the feudal territory in the future, we can quickly train an elite army to strengthen the future. Why bother?"
Zhu Quan, who heard the complaints, frowned and said to Zhu Su.
Although Zhu Quan is half a year younger than Zhu Zhuan, among the five princes of the Zuoshun clan, he is the undisputed number one in terms of authority.
This mainly comes from Zhu Yuanzhang's love and his outstanding performance during military training.
After hearing what Zhu Quan, the seventeenth brother, said, Zhu Su didn't dare to say anything. He just lowered his head slightly, with a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he didn't dare to talk back to Zhu Quan.
Seeing his silence, Zhu Quan said no more, picked up a military book and started reading.
Zhu Zhuan felt very itchy in his heart when he heard this.
He took a look at Zhu Quan, who looked like a normal person, and admired him in his heart.
Everyone has known the identity of the commander for so long, but there is nothing unusual at all.
Holding the book, Zhu Zhen was not thinking at all. He rolled his eyes and gave the eighteenth prince Zhu Zhen a wink.
Zhu Zhu looked around and made sure that his sixteenth brother Zhu Zhu was signaling to him, so he looked over in confusion.
Zhu Zhen pointed to the door, then stood up and went out.
Seeing how mysterious Zhu Zhuan was, my curiosity aroused and I quickly followed him out.
After the eighteenth prince Zhu Chu came out, Zhu Chu lowered his head and looked around, then pulled Zhu Chu into a corner and asked with a mysterious look in his eyes:
"Do you know who the commander of the guards is who trains us?"
