When Zhao Xuanyi heard what Zhu Yuejun said, he stood up helplessly. Nan Zhu hurriedly took the official robe, dressed Zhao Xuanyi neatly, and then led Zhao Xuanyi out of the dormitory!
Arriving outside the gate of Tayunxuan, Shen Wei was still waiting for Zhao Xuanyi in his Qilin chariot. Zhao Xuanyi got on the carriage. He was a little angry no matter how he thought about it. He grabbed Nanzhu's jade hand and pulled him into the carriage!
"My lord...?" Nanzhu blushed and couldn't get away. Zhao Xuanyi forcibly pulled him into the carriage!
After Shen Wei saw it, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking, just go ahead and make trouble. When you get home, there will be a grenade with the fuse waiting for you at home!
The Qilin chariot walked slowly along, and the sound of Nanzhu begging for mercy could be heard from inside the carriage. If it were on a busy street, this sound would probably be covered up. At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that any sound could be heard!
The carriage came outside the house and Shen Wei took the reins, "Young Master, we're here!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up slowly in the carriage, and Nan Zhu on the side also stood up and rearranged Zhao Xuanyi's clothes. After all was sorted, Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the carriage! Nanzhu then put on his clothes one by one. Fortunately, the carriage was very confidential and the inside could not be seen from the outside!
After Zhao Xuanyi got out of the car, those familiar and annoying faces appeared in front of him one by one. It was impossible to hide. Zhao Xuanyi came to Zhao Mingqing, bowed his head and saluted, "Greetings, father!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Mingqing patted Zhao Xuanyi on the shoulder, "Well done!"
Zhao Xuanyi naturally knew what his father was talking about, and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, father!"
"Although the method is not very smooth, the result is undoubtedly the best!"
"It was all Xinyu's idea. She played the card very beautifully this time!"
"Oh? So it's her! But... you four ladies, and now the other three have children, why is there no movement in Xinyu? Is she in bad health? If so, get her treated as soon as possible!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he thought to himself: What should I say? If his father knew that Du Xinyu didn't want to have children because of fear, he would definitely be very angry with his feudal thinking. "Xinyu is still young after all. He is active every day. He is still a child. I plan to talk about it in a few years. Now I have two We have a baby, and Han Yan is about to give birth, so I’ll be busy enough. I’ll wait for a few years!”.b.
Hearing that Han Yan was about to give birth, Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "That's right! I don't know if Han Yan will be a boy or a girl this time, hahaha!" Zhao Mingqing smiled happily at the thought of having another family member!
After everyone went to court, Zhu Wenyu found Zhao Xuanyi standing in the main hall, and felt very happy. He thought to himself, my brother is really giving me face, and he came to cheer me up!
When other officials saw Zhao Xuanyi, they were thinking, why is this plague god coming again? I don’t know who is going to be unlucky!
"Prince Qing, the envoy Linghu Qingyun from Oara has arrived in the capital. According to etiquette, we should arrange for the envoy to stay in the guest house, but now the envoy is still in the inn. If this is the case, other countries will laugh at our Ming Dynasty for not knowing etiquette. ! In my opinion, why not send someone to move the envoy into the guest house today!" Qi Lianzhong said loudly. ..
Zhao Xuanyi frowned slightly when he heard this. Although there is nothing wrong with settling foreign envoys and it should be so, shouldn't this matter be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites? Why did Qi Lianzhong speak at this time? Could it be that he likes dogs to play with mice?
After Zhu Wenyu heard this, he turned his head and looked up the hall, "Where are the officials from the Ministry of Rites?"
"Wei Chen is here!" Zhou Liang came out!
"You should handle this matter quickly. Don't let the Wala envoy cause any unnecessary misunderstandings to our Ming Dynasty!"
"Wei Chen obeys! But...?"
Zhu Wenyu frowned, "What? What's the difficulty?"
"Prince, all the expenses provided by the treasury recently were used for the enthronement ceremony. It has been a long time since an envoy came to the guest house, so I took it upon myself to spend all the expenses of the guest house on the enthronement ceremony. If we invite an envoy at this moment Checking into the Guest House, I’m afraid...?”
When Zhu Wenyu heard this, he knew very well that he was openly asking for money! "Every expenditure made by the Ministry of Accounts is well-founded. How could it be done?
Make money scarce? What about the Hubu people? "
At this moment, Liang Yubo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, came out, "Prince Qi, because the enthronement ceremony has been used for many purposes recently, our Ministry of Revenue has also been reviewing appropriations. However, after the war, the national treasury is very tight, so...?"
Zhao Xuanyi realized that this was the country's household department. Although every expenditure was justified, the amount of money coming out of the treasury was not necessarily large. From the ministers and ministers to the petty officials and guards, If possible, anyone can take a layer!
When it finally reaches the hands of the person doing the work, no one can guarantee how much will be left. Moreover, when doing things, you need to have good connections and be filial when you meet some relevant people. In a word, if you take out the money, whether you can get things done or not. It all depends on luck! And now he is clearly asking Zhu Wenyu for money. Should he give it to him or not?
"Since the Prime Minister Zuo cares so much about the envoy from Wala, why not accept this good job and invite the envoy to his home and let his daughter accompany him to show my Ming Dynasty's friendship towards Wala!" Zhao Xuanyi said without saltiness.
Saying this at this time is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Qi Lianzhong in front of him! Qi Lianzhong was naturally very angry, "My lord, please be careful when entertaining foreign envoys. This is our duty as a court!"
"Enter them? Prime Minister Zuo is so generous!"
"If you have something to say, your Majesty, you may as well say it directly. There is no need to be yin and yang here!"
"Okay, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you! I was stationed at the border for a period of time. During this period, the Wala barbarians repeatedly provoked us. It was just because we were polite and would not confront them head-on!"
"Don't go into detail, let's just say that in the past few years, Wala has sent troops several times to invade our border cities. This time, they took advantage of King Yong'an's rebellion and captured three cities in our country. Now that his third prince has come to our capital, we will not allow him to do so. Blaming him is considered generous, but we also have to give him the best hospitality. He will only think that we are afraid of him and dare not confront him head-on!".c0
Qi Lianzhong chuckled, "The Duke is wrong. This etiquette has been passed down from our ancestors for thousands of years. We should abide by it!"
"If one day Wala raises his troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, kicks down the door of your Zuo Xiang's house, and kidnaps your girl for fun, and expect Zuo Xiang to walk up to them upright and say, you are not being reasonable! Do you think they will let your girl go?"
"You... Your Majesty's words are extremely vulgar, really?"
"No matter how rude my words are, are they as barbaric as what they did? Prince, my idea is very simple. This Wala has never learned any etiquette and rules at the border. Why should we think so highly of him? We didn't invite him here, he himself If you are willing to come, then treat him as a barbarian. After all, if you put a gorgeous robe on a wolf, he is also a beast that walks on four legs!" Zhao Xuanyi said loudly.
"This...?" Zhu Wenyu was very confused when he heard this. Although what Zhao Xuanyi said was right, if he really treated him like this. I'm afraid Fanbang will ask questions!
"In this case, Zhou Liang, you go and settle the Wala envoys and let them live in the guest house. After all, this is etiquette, but you don't need to give the highest hospitality in the guest house. Just send a few people at will!" Zhu Wenyu said.
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!" Zhou Liang nodded and said!
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Zhou Liang, thinking that although Zhou Liang was just a small minister, he had performed very well recently. After Zhang Qiqian left, it seemed that he had the final say in the Ministry of Etiquette, no! If you let this kid get up, you will have another strong opponent! No matter what, don't think of making trouble in front of me!
After the morning court, Zhao Xuanyi came to the East Palace for breakfast. As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Wenyu took Zhao Xuanyi's hand and vomited bitterly, "Brother, you have seen what happened today. What the hell are you going to do? The enthronement ceremony has not yet been held." By the end of the day, we spent 200,000 taels of silver, and now this messenger from Wala has come and wants money! No matter how much money I have, it’s not enough!”
