Yaoji folded his hands and watched intently from a few meters away. Seeing that the other party still refused to sign, he continued to urge: "Is it possible that there is something evil in Guozhan's heart?"

In front of everyone, everyone is waiting to see a good show. After all, you can be regarded as a generation of movie kings in the late Ming Dynasty. How can you be so timid? This palace is really disappointing~!

"..." Zhou Kui didn't dare to answer, and started to sweat down his face. He had no countermeasures, so he could only ask his daughter for help: "Your Majesty the Queen, my family is in dire straits. Even if I lose everything, I still can't come up with 50,000 taels of silver!"

At this point, he is no longer sure what the prince will do to him. Fortunately, even if his grandson turns against him, he still has his daughter to help him, so he should be able to tide over the difficulties.

Seeing that her biological father was being forced into such a miserable state by Brother Hong, Empress Zhou couldn't bear it, so she lightly raised her lips and said, "If the prince asks you to donate money to the national war to relieve the family's worries, I will make up for it!" "

I dare not say too much, but it is okay for my beautiful mother to take out five thousand taels of silver from her own small treasury. In her opinion, the fifty thousand taels are just Brother Xang's talk and can be ignored.

Brother Hong didn't consult with me in advance and acted arbitrarily. He was really bold. After he retired from the court, he would have to preach. If this continues, I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to any ministers' remarks.

Yaoji was not unreasonable and said calmly: "The queen mother can pave the way for the national war, but this word must be signed. If the national war is not signed, the nobles of the court can use it as a certificate, so this matter is not a trivial matter. No one can stay out of it!”

Zhou Kui is Empress Zhou's biological father. The Empress offered help, but no one could say anything, but they stopped there. After hearing this, the beautiful mother did not want to quarrel with her son in the court, so she took the initiative to retreat: "If the prince insists, At this point, it is inconvenient for me to interfere!”

At this point, the reinforcements were gone, and Zhou Kui, who was extremely anxious, looked at the nervous and stern expressions of his colleagues, or the leisurely demeanor of watching the fire from across the bank. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to hold the brush in his trembling hand and write. He wrote his name on the paper.

It was the second best thing for his grandson to make things difficult for him. No one in the civil and military dynasties who were usually very polite to him could excuse him. Except for his own daughter, they were all a bunch of selfish white-eyed wolves. Zhou Kui also had a grudge in his heart. Whenever he found If you get the chance, you must take revenge.

Yaoji stood up with this priceless piece of paper and said with great joy in front of everyone: "Have you seen all the ministers? Guozhan understands the righteousness and demonstrates it personally. He is indeed a model for this dynasty and a pillar of the Ming Dynasty!"

Now that I have signed, it is still necessary to praise my grandpa's behavior appropriately, and it is a link between the past and the next, hehe...

There is nothing inappropriate for the prince to treat his grandfather as a "first gun". He can also invite the prince to the urn: "Now that this is the case, how can I, the great minister of the Ming Dynasty, be willing to be content with the national war? Come, come, come, the three princes You shouldn’t back down, right?”

Before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, there were five extremely wealthy princes, namely, Duke Xu Hongji of Wei, Duke Xu Yunzhen of Ding, Duke Zhu Chunchen of Cheng, Duke Zhang Shize of England, and Duke Mu Tianbo of Guizhou!

The Duke of Guizhou is far away in Yunnan. He has worked hard for generations and has been stationed on the border. He has contributed a lot and has contributed a lot, so he will not be held accountable. Mu Tianbo can continue to be his Xiaoyao father-in-law in the southwest. I heard that the girls in Mu Mansion are all beautiful. …

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji guarded Nanjing, but later resigned due to illness. His son Xu Wenjue was "iron and strong". When the Qing army went south, he surrendered to the enemy with righteousness and dignity. He was really disposable!

It is impossible for Xu Hongji to come over to support him now, but there is no need to be polite to these three Dukes in front of him. Sign quickly. It will save you trouble and I will also save trouble.

Seeing that the three princes refused to take a step forward after hearing his kindness, Yaoji couldn't help but feel angry. It's this time, why should I order your names in alphabetical order?

Madan!

What a bunch of goods that need to be cleaned up!

With fuckers like you, no wonder the Ming Dynasty perished!

Li Express has troops approaching the city, but you are still stubborn and regard your wealth as your life.

Anyway, they are all dragged out and chopped up. Today, no one needs to do anything. I can do it for him!

The three princes were all very shrewd, and no one was willing to answer first, for fear of falling into the trap set by the prince and unable to extricate himself.

In view of this, Yao Ji changed his approach and asked Zhu Chunchen in a wan tone: "I wonder how many dishes Cheng Guo Gong had last night?"

It is said that among the three men in Beijing, this guy is the richest. Judging from his fat and strong appearance, he should be the same. As expected, he is as tough as his cheap grandfather. Maybe he can donate a round amount—— Two hundred and fifty taels of silver!

When his name was called, Zhu Chunchen was horrified and secretly cried out that he was unlucky. The situation was urgent, so he had to bow his hands and salute, and made up the content: "Your Highness, the prince, Wei Chen's family is in a difficult situation. He only ate four dishes last night!"

Last night, Zhu Chunchen heard from the message from the palace that the emperor was ill and that the prince was in charge of the country. Zhu Chunchen was very happy, so he asked the cook to prepare a table of delicacies, and exchanged cups with his wives and concubines. In total, there were almost twenty Many ways.

Yaoji pretended to be moved and couldn't help but ask: "Oh? I never thought that Aiqing, as the Duke of the country, would be in such a miserable state. I wonder what four dishes Aiqing had last night?"

I want to see what kind of flower basket you can weave. Remember, if you make a mistake, it will be a serious sin.

Zhu Chunchen knew very well that he could not tell the dishes of birds and animals, but had to be close to the people of Li, so he had to think quickly: "I would like to inform Your Highness the Crown Prince, what we cooked last night was eggs, leeks, tofu, cabbage, peanuts, celery, stewed vegetables, etc." Boil the pumpkin!”

After saying that, he swallowed, secretly thinking that he was lucky that he didn't blurt out the big fish and meat, maybe he could get over it.

Yao Ji couldn't help but look depressed, and sighed in public: "Alas! Your majesty, you don't even have a single meat dish for dinner. When did I, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, fall into such a state? How sad~! This is really the misfortune of the imperial court!"

Not to mention eating these four dishes, you will probably feel sick just looking at them.

If word spread that the Duke is a vegetarian, the people will think that Zhu Chunchen is planning to become a monk, hahahaha~!

Not to mention the prince, not even Queen Zhou believed what Duke Cheng Guo said.

If you bully the king in public, you will be...

"I wonder what kind of dishes the British Lord served last night?"

Just make it up, and I will see how you make it up. If you work together to fool me and make up twelve vegetarian dishes, you will be considered capable.

When Zhu Chunchen was questioned by the prince, Zhang Shize began to think of countermeasures, sifted through the recipes in his stomach, and reported with unusual humility: "For your highness, the dishes Wei Chen used last night were fried bamboo shoots, boiled wormwood, and steamed wormwood. eggplant!"

The Yao Chicken is also an eye-opener. In order to compete with Cheng Guogong, this guy not only has no supplementary ingredients, but only one ingredient per dish, and one dish is missing, and even wild vegetables are served on the table. I really don’t know what the Ming Dynasty really is. It’s wonderful, I give you a thumbs up~!

After hearing such a recipe, as a prince, I had to squeeze out a few drops of crocodile tears, then wiped it with the sleeve of my rhubarb dragon robe, and said with great emotion: "It's really hard for the British Duke! What about Duke Ding? Yesterday? What are you having for dinner?"

It seems that the three of you have no moral bottom line. It depends on what exciting menu the last one can come up with. Don't be worse than the first two, otherwise I will be very disappointed.

Compared to the previous two, Dingguo Duke Xu Yunzhen was even more arrogant and went into battle in a vacuum: "I would like to report to Your Highness the Crown Prince that the family of the humble minister is in dire straits and has nothing but fried soybeans to satisfy his hunger!"

Seeing this shameless heroic appearance, Yao Ji Zhenzhen gave him a thumbs up.

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty, I will obey you three, each one is more shameless than the other!

Fried soybeans? ? ?

If not for the fact that everyone was a well-connected person in the city, they would all have laughed out loud on the spot. Even the loyal and honest Sun Chuanting would have seen the face of San Gong and understood why the military expenses agreed upon were repeatedly delayed.

Queen Zhou was very angry and funny when she heard this. Brother Hong only asked four people among the nobles, and these four people behaved in ugly ways, including his own father. If it spreads, where is the prestige of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhou Kui, the national warrior, was even more angry about it. He really knows people but not their hearts. Xu Yunzhen, a young man, even said so brazenly that he only ate fried soybeans. How shameless this was. He was a hundred times more shameless than himself.

Yao Ji suppressed his laughter and blamed himself: "It seems that although Ding Guogong has the title of Duke, he usually does not live as well as the poor people, but I want Ding Guogong to donate money to the country. It is really my responsibility." It’s over, Duke Dingguo must not be angry because of this!”

Fried soybeans!

No matter how ruthless you are, you can think of this trick. You are truly worthy of being a prince!

With your ability to cry when you are poor, I would be disrespectful if I did not promote you to the throne of king!

This is to deceive me as a fool. You might as well form a trio of princes.

The magic weapon of "fried soybeans" has really upset me. I must be careful in the future...

When Xu Yunzhen saw that the prince had been attacked, he was secretly happy and said with sincerity: "His Royal Highness the prince is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. Don't belittle yourself. I really can't afford it. If there is a slight improvement in the family of Weichen, I will definitely take it." Give me some silver to serve the imperial court!"

In short, as long as you don't have to pay for it, even if it's just eating fried stones.

We are all nobles. Faced with the Crown Prince's questioning, we should unite sincerely and deal with the matter perfunctorily.

The imperial court belongs to the Zhu family, and the money belongs to you. Everyone should be aware of the importance of familiarity with each other.

Serve the imperial court?

Just because you guys are so loyal to the country, I'm afraid you're going to reimburse the imperial court, right?

"Come here, please ask the three princes to write down the dishes they served last night, and then sign next to the names of the princes to prove their innocence, so that they can serve as a model for all officials to follow!"

One doesn't eat meat, one eats wild vegetables, and the other only eats fried soybeans!

If you don't take it if you have a way to survive, you have to become one of the three wonders of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s okay to have no talent and no virtue. Now it’s shameless to compete with others!

You just want to die, and when you cry...
