The tax collector was not a vegetarian either, and soon both parties began to scold each other.
Dong Shan and Li Manzhu naturally couldn't scold them, but if they couldn't scold them, they could still draw their swords at each other.
Zhao Qianhu and dozens of soldiers also surrounded him, and a fight between the two sides was about to break out.
Ruan Xi and Shu Liang both advised: "Sir, let's go. Swords have no eyes, and if there is someone who has a good eye but a weak hand, the gain will outweigh the loss."
After listening to the advice and having a full meal, Zhu Qiyu nodded and led everyone into the city.
After walking for a long time, he was hungry. Zhu Qiyu decided to go home for lunch first, so he took out a jade pendant and smiled at Tian Huiqing:
"I hit it off with my brother today. If I can be useful to you in the future, please feel free to speak up.
This jade pendant is given to my brother. If my brother encounters any difficulties in the capital, he can take the jade pendant to Wu'an Bo Mansion, which was originally Sui'an Bo Mansion.
I am Wu'anbo Liu Chang's eldest brother. When you arrive at Wu'anbo's house and see the housekeeper, just mention my name. "
Tian Huiqing thanked him, took his servants, and drove away.
Seeing Tian Huiqing walking away, Wang Xian smiled and said, "Do you think Mr. Tian knows that our sage is the emperor?"
Wang Yue replied: "I must be able to make a rough guess, otherwise how dare Mr. Natian criticize Xuan Miao and Emperor Gongrang in front of so many of us."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, we still have something to gain today. Let's go back to eat first and see what delicious food the princess has prepared for us.
Xingyi, after you finish your meal, go back to the cabinet and summon the cabinet ministers, ministers, and ministers.
In the afternoon, I took everyone to Xiyuan, first to visit Prince Lecheng, and then to check the warehouse.
If I have time, I will go to Ciqing Palace to visit the prince.
After checking the warehouse, Xingyi, you can go home first, lest Xu Wan scold me again. "
Everyone laughed when they heard this. In today's world, there are really not many people who dare to rob the White Emperor. Although Xu Wan was just joking most of the time, her courage to dare to joke with the emperor was very commendable.
The group chatted and laughed and returned to Wudinghou Mansion. Others went to eat big pot dishes, while Zhu Qiyu went back to the backyard to eat on a small stove.
Wu Dinghou's wife, Yi Shi, has been pregnant for more than five months. Due to the fierce fighting in the Wuding Hou Mansion, Yi Shi has never been able to conceive. Now that she is finally happy, she is naturally treated as an ancestor.
Zhu Qiyu came to the main room, and Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang were still accompanying Yishi to relieve their boredom.
Seeing Zhu Qiyu come in, Yishi smiled and said, "My son is back. You must be hungry. Come and sit down. I have prepared a lot of delicious food for my mother in the kitchen."
Zhu Qiyu was shocked when he heard this: I am twenty-four years old, my father-in-law is thirty-two years old, and what is even more outrageous is that my mother-in-law, Yishi, is twenty-eight years old.
Isn't this 'my son' and 'mother' a bit too much? Although there is no problem with her calling her that way according to etiquette, it still sounds a little weird.
Fortunately, Zhu Qiyu figured it out after a quick thought, so he quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, mother. My son is really hungry. Please ask the maid to bring the food."
When Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang heard this, they immediately spread their hands with smiles and stretched out their hands in front of Yishi: "We won the bet, so our Emperor Jingtai will definitely bow obediently and call mother, please accept the bet and admit defeat." Bar."
Yi Shi smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. These two girls are very weird and want to play tricks on you. I didn't mean to take advantage of you."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about them. I already know what these two girls are. Don't worry, I won't beat them when we get back to the room."
"That's good, that's good, as long as the Holy One doesn't get angry."
After a few people chatted and laughed, Yi Shi went back to her room to take a nap.
Zhu Qiyu returned to the room with his two concubines and immediately ordered: "You two little bitches, take off your clothes and lie down on the bed side by side for me."
Lin Xiangyu immediately protested: "You are not joking, my husband just said that he would not beat us."
Zhu Qiyu replied with an innocent face: "That's right, Jun Wuxi, I won't beat you, just give each of you ten or eight lashes."
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "How can ten strokes be enough? I need to whip Ningxiang five hundred times and whip the slave eight hundred times, otherwise I will not be allowed to go out."
Zhu Qiyu nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's finish the public rations early so that I can check the warehouse. I heard that the warehouses have been temporarily occupied by the Ministry of Household Affairs and have been filled up. I will have to check for a long time.
You go to Ciqing Palace in the afternoon and wait while I take the ministers to see the prince. "
After the three people discussed it, they calculated it together.
After taking a nap, Zhu Qiyu came to Chongzhi Hall in Xiyuan under the escort of his personal guards.
The important officials of the imperial court were already waiting outside the palace. Also coming were Zuo Zongzheng, Dazongzhengyuan, and Zhu Wengui, the king of Soochow.
King Da Zongzhengmin still stayed in the capital, but he was old and sick and rarely left the palace; King Youzong Zhengqin had been driven to Fengyang.
Zhu Qiyu greeted each other politely and then walked into the Chongzhi Palace hand in hand.
King Xiang Zhu Zhanzong, the fifth son of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, lost all his heirs in the rebellion and was seriously injured himself. He was demoted to the title of King of Lecheng County by Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Zhanzhen was so angry that he succeeded in becoming the county king. I am not optimistic about the success at all. I just wanted to be cheated alive, and the mutiny that seemed so sure was finally turned into this horrible thing.
This Zhu Qiyu has been a wild child since he was a child. He has never studied well, let alone received a formal royal education. According to common sense, he should be close to a political idiot.
As a result, the facts are completely beyond our understanding. This bastard is a ghost. If you put fur on him, he will become a living monkey.
Zhu Qiyu's thoughts were not on ridiculing and mocking his fifth uncle. He brought his ministers here just to scare the monkeys and show them the consequences of going against him.
By the way, I'll show you some mercy and shed a few crocodile tears.
As for Zhu Wengui, the king of Dongwu County, he was on guard against Zhu Zhancheng or some ministers who were overheated and did not know how to promote.
Zhu Zhanzhen's biggest political proposition and position is that the line of descent must be distinguished, the inheritance must be orderly, and the line of descent must be respected.
Okay, since you want to respect your eldest son, I will bring Zhu Wengui, the king of Soochow, to you.
Don't you have to respect your direct descendants? Well, if you can tell us, our Taizong lineage should return to the throne of Prince Yiwen's lineage, then I respect you as a man.
If you still think that Zhu Qizhen is the legitimate emperor, then forget it. The descendants from Taizong and below are all rebellious officials and traitors. No one knows who they are. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me?
Zhu Zhanzhen looked at Zhu Wengui, the king of Soochow, and obviously understood what Zhu Qiyu meant.
But Zhu Qiyu is really overthinking this time. Zhu Zhanzhen is now thinking about how to survive, rather than how to hit an egg against a stone.
I saw Zhu Zhanzhen dragging his sick body with a look of shame and remorse on his face, insisting on getting out of bed to salute.
