When Xu Qin and Xu Fugui came out of Mianyue Tower the next day, their steps were sloppy.
Xu Fugui, in particular, basically walked out holding on to the wall.
The old bustard Meisheng is in good spirits. It seems that he did a good job in picking up the yang and replenishing the yin last night.
Coming out of Mianyue Tower, Shi Wenxin was already waiting there.
"Young Master, the matter is done." Shi Wenxin said in a low voice.
Xu Qin discussed the action against Gao Heling with Mr. Xia, but he didn't care when it would be carried out.
Unexpectedly, when he slept with Yun He in the brothel, Mr. Xia would actually take action.
Shi Wenxin told Xu Qin what happened. Xu Qin couldn't help but marvel at Mr. Xia's awesomeness.
It doesn't hurt people's lives but it hurts their hearts.
Zhuoyu returned to the little princess's residence at dawn, feeling depressed after a night of shock.
But what's more serious is not the fatigue, but the pain in my heart that can never be recovered.
The person she loved turned out to be a ruthless Hoshiro, which she couldn't accept. Having died once, she would no longer seek death and survival.
Now there is only the raging fire of revenge, and killing Gao Heling has become her only spiritual support.
"How did you end up like this? I thought you ran away with your lover." Grandma Wang blocked in front of Zhuoyu and said coldly.
These words were like a cold knife, opening up her wound again.
"Mommy, I was wrong, I was blind. He is a heartless person, no, he is not a human being." After Zhuoyu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and cried silently.
"Go take a bath first, and then take a nap before talking." Grandma Wang felt something, stepped aside and helped Zhuoyu into the yard.
When Gao Heling woke up, he was already on the bed in the inn.
The innkeeper told him that he was lying at the door when the door opened at dawn. He didn't know when he was there, so he moved him to the bed.
Gao Heling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this hurdle had passed. Thinking about his choice last night, he felt happy.
It seems that the prince still approves of this marriage, and he should have passed the test by shooting Takuyu now.
As for the death of a maid, is it important to the palace?
It's no different from killing a dog. The prince is just using this to warn me, asking me to be nice to the little princess.
Gao Heling thought he had figured it out and immediately asked the inn to boil water so that he could freshen up.
Xu Qin returned to the back house to catch up on his sleep. He scored three times last night. When he got up in the morning, Uncle Chen refused to get off work, so he had no choice but to come again.
I'm a little tired now. As soon as I walked in, I was hugged by Hongshu, sniffing him like a puppy.
"Are the women outside so sweet? Can't you be restrained by four people at home?" Hong Shu was obviously jealous.
The little mouth muttered, and Xu Qin's eyes turned white.
"Oh, are you jealous if you let my little baby stay alone in an empty room?" Xu Qin pinched her little mouth and kissed her hard.
Hongshu wrinkled his little nose, pouted and snorted.
Xu Qin was still not satisfied at first glance, so he had to work hard for a while. He held Hongshu and planned to use the golden monkey to rise up and do it again reluctantly.
"Oh, I don't want it, just wash it off." Hong Shu quickly pushed Xu Qin away and trotted all the way to prepare things for bathing.
"Oh, mandarin ducks playing in the water, this is also okay." Xu Qin thought excitedly.
It's a pity that he didn't get what he wanted. Hongshu didn't want to do it, and neither did the other maids.
"I don't care about my life. I stayed out all night and struggled to get home. I don't care about my body anymore. We still want to keep the water flowing."
Hongshu blushed and said angrily while scrubbing Xu Qin's key parts.
It made Xu Qin feel very itchy, but he didn't open the door.
After taking a shower, she changed her clothes and Tian Xiang came over with a bowl of medicine.
"What do you mean? Young Master, I have gone up to the mountains to fight tigers and go to the sea to catch dragons. Who can you look down on if you can give me this drink?" Xu Qin was angry.
Men are always sensitive on this matter.
"I know your body is made of iron. It's not a tonic. It's just a medicine that warms the yang. My dear, be good and take a nap after drinking it."
Hongshu coaxed Xu Qin and said.
"Do you think I am three years old? You still coax me to drink medicine. If I don't drink it, who will..." Xu Qin was going to refuse sternly.
But seeing Hong Shu take a sip himself, and then bring the cherry to his mouth, he immediately followed it.
The beauty's medicine is naturally fragrant and fragrant, but it's a pity that the Pengmen refuses to open now.
After drinking the medicine, Xu Qin fell asleep quickly. He slept until noon, then woke up and had another meal of ginseng, black chicken, abalone stew, and so on.
These girls are afraid that they will not be useful in the future, but they are not afraid of making up for their own shortcomings.
In the afternoon, the princess sent someone to deliver the message, and Xu Qin entered the palace immediately after receiving the signal. Ask directly to see Chairman Zhu.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Zhu Di asked, sitting on the dragon chair in Wuying Hall, while looking at Xu Qin's memorial about the ceremony.
The memorial describes the entire tribute ceremony process in detail. This year's ceremony was more lively than in previous years.
And it doesn’t cost the household department a penny.
Zhu Di found it unbelievable that if it were the Ministry of Household Affairs that did this, it would probably cost more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver, but he didn't want any money.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready. I have consulted Qin Tianjian and the tribute ceremony will be held on the first day of next month."
Xu Qin replied.
"Well, there are only eight days left, so it might as well be on the first day of the new year. How's the deal going? Don't forget that you still owe me one million taels of silver."
Zhu Di put down the memorial and looked down at Xu Qin and said.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, you just need to wait for the cashier to be calm. There is another news to report to the minister."
Xu Qin took out another memorial.
"That's right. This is like a official minister. Don't go out and cause trouble all day long. Also, pay off your debt as soon as possible."
Zhu Di took the memorial from the young eunuch and said.
"I have no money for the time being, so all my money has been invested in this business. I will pay back the money when the matter is over."
Xu Qin took the opportunity to cheat and asked if he wanted to pay the debt. How could he return the money if it was not with me?
"You can make your own decisions about merchants, so why put it in the memorial?" Zhu Di said with a frown as he held a list of merchants in the market.
He hates the fact that his ministers have to worry about every detail. There are so many things in the country. If he has to take care of such trivial matters, wouldn't it be exhausting?
"Your Majesty, this list needs to be stamped by the Ministry of Household Affairs and announced to the world. Moreover, I have excluded all shops owned by princes and nobles."
Xu Qin hid his ultimate goal in the memorial and dug a hole for the King of Han in front of his father.
The prince has discussed this matter with Zhu Di in advance, and today he is here to go through the process.
"Why bother me with what I said about some businessmen? It seems you want to use my tiger skin to scare the beasts."
Zhu Di opened the list and looked at it casually.
"Your Majesty is the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon, no one can compare to the King of Beasts." Xu Qin first slapped the little dragon's fart.
"The main reason is that this business negotiation involves surrounding countries, and this caravan has to go to various countries to trade and inquire about the situation. So..."
After Xu Qin finished filming the dragon fart, he began to hint at Zhu Di.
These caravans not only go to trade, but also to inquire about other countries' intelligence. Those princes and nobles had better not come in.
If they collude with neighboring countries to do something, your position will not be secure.
Zhu Di was very keen on this kind of thing. He glanced at Xu Qin and nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm very relieved that I can consider this at such a young age. But this is your family, how much is it the prince's family?"
Zhu Di asked as he tapped the list.
"Nothing can escape your Majesty's eyes. The Prince's Palace only cares about the Royal Bank, and I have a shop in it." Xu Qin said with a smile.
"I take back the compliment I just gave you. You are using your power for personal gain." Zhu Di pointed at Xu Qin with the memorial and said.
"Who wouldn't seek personal gain when they have power? I have only two hobbies in my life, money and beautiful women. Your Majesty has the world in mind, and he will definitely not bother to argue with me."
Xu Qin smiled and acted rogue.
"You've just started to show off your lust, but I heard that you're writing poetry in a brothel again? Is your talent wasted on women?"
Zhu Di started scolding him with a cold face, which was strange. He wanted to scold him every time he saw him.
As for the small matter of using power for personal gain, Zhu Di didn't mention it at all. If all his ministers kept the abuse of power for personal gain in the open, he would be more worried.
"I don't think I have any talent. I only have a lot of blood. If I don't let it out, it will be bad for my health."
Xu Qin said with a playful smile, thinking that you would know what happened last night today. Lao Zhu also has a hobby of listening to the roots of the wall?
Doesn't that mean that he knew all my postures last night?
Zhu Di didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have skinned him.
"Go away..." Zhu Di was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Xu Qin turned around to leave, walked a few steps and came back.
"Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking about my affairs yet. Can you lend some of your imperial guards to me? I'm afraid that I'll be beaten up in the past two days."
Xu Qin said pretending to be embarrassed. Once the list of this shop is published, it will definitely be hated by others. Who knows who will give him a brick in the middle of the night, or surround him again in the street.
"Are you sometimes afraid? I thought you were fearless. What are Ouchi guards?"
Zhu Di asked with a frown. He had never heard of this word before.
Xu Qin remembered that this title probably did not exist in this era. The current Ouchi guards should be Jin Yiwei.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to protect the safety of the palace. Because it's within the imperial city, I thought I was called an Ouchi guard.
The kind of fierce men who can take the heads of generals among thousands of troops, or the masters who fly over the walls and kill people silently, give me dozens of them. "
Xu Qin rubbed his hands and said excitedly that he had long wanted to meet such an expert.
Zhu Di looked at him like a fool.
"You said that I also want to see this kind of person take the head of a general out of ten thousand armies. You must have read too much. I have already asked this kind of person to be a general. How can I be willing to let him guard the gate?"
Zhu Di said angrily.
"Your Majesty, why don't you lend me some royal guards to scare people? I'm really afraid of being shot at when walking at night." Xu Qin said pretending to be scared.
"Okay, don't pretend to be here with me. I know you have worked hard and offended people for the Ming Dynasty. Don't worry, no one will dare to touch you."
Zhu Di waved his hand and said confidently.
Xu Qinxin said that what you said was just bullshit. Your son dared to do it, and he was just waiting to touch me.
If one plan fails, then another will follow. If you don't give me soldiers, how can I cheat your son?
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. However, I am not pretending to be aggrieved. I really need to build up my appearance. I am thinking that after the ceremony, this businessman will enter the business, and I must let them see the majesty of the imperial court. Otherwise, these people may dare to do anything to harm the imperial court for money." thing."
Xu Qin said to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di nodded. In his mind, businessmen were not bad, but he really didn't regard them as human beings.
"As you requested, do you have any ready-made solutions in mind?" Zhu Di nodded and asked.
He was very pleased that Xu Qin could think of these things in advance at such a young age. National affairs must be taken with caution.
If it weren't for this kid being too lazy and capable of getting into trouble, he would really be worth training and reusing.
Since we want to be majestic and intimidate, we need to fight a hundred battles with powerful soldiers, so that these businessmen can see the Ming Dynasty's confidence.
So he lent him five hundred soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to show his prestige.
The current Shenji Battalion is still in the process of being formed. It has not experienced the glory of Zhu Di's Northern Expedition and is relatively unknown. However, it has also experienced the battle of Annan.
