"It takes up to three days to reach the capital!"
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward quickly and whispered, "We are taking the water route!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Total, the equivalent of more than seven million silver dollars!"
Zhu Yunxi curled his lips silently, then smiled and said, "Uncles are really rich!"
"I can't stand you!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "In addition to the palace's frivolous wealth, the properties, shops, houses, and even business names have all been sold to merchants through bidding. It's all going to go into your pocket, Uncle Six and Uncle Seven and the others.
My son, not a single big word was left out!"
"As for the other uncles!" Zhu Yunxi pondered for a long time, "Just don't move!" He said, sighing, "Hurry up and build the royal residence in Beijing. Don't be afraid of spending more money. The more exquisite the better, I can't let it go anymore.
People have spoken!"
"You are still afraid of being embarrassed!" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "You still have a conscience!"
Speaking of the transfer of the vassal king, Zhu Yunxi was quite surprised.
Except for King Zhu Zhi of Liao and the descendants of King Qin, few of the vassal princes were willing to move to the vassal state. They all expressed their willingness to be a happy prince in the capital, drinking and having fun all day long and waiting to die.
On the contrary, the descendants of the guilty kings and the concubines of the late King Qin and King Jin were eager to try.
In fact, when you think about it, you feel relieved. The only way for these clan members to go out is to go out. Even wealthy and idle people cannot do it if they stay in the capital.
"I just don't understand. How can it be better to be sealed away than in the capital?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and said.
Zhu Gaochi said nothing and pretended not to hear.
But in my heart, I was complaining, "No matter what you say, who is willing to go to a place where nothing matters? Besides, who knows what trouble you will make in the future. If I were in the capital, I wouldn't leave!"
"How are the royal titles agreed upon by the uncles?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Zhu Gaochi said, "According to your wishes, the emperor, the previous royal titles named after the country are exempted, and the new royal titles given are Duanjing Mincheng, Gongxin Liangyu and other royal titles!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently, "Look back and allocate 500,000 yuan from the confiscated property of the sinful king to the kings for building their houses!"
Zhu Gaochi paused, "Then...if we use troops against Burma, where will it be?"
"Do you still need money over there?" Zhu Yunxi frowned, shook his head, smiled, and stepped forward.
"How can we fight without money?" Looking at his back, Zhu Gaochi muttered.
Li Jinglong came over and said, "Your Highness, the Burmese side is just fighting small battles to support the war. Besides, they are not using the regular army of the imperial court, so what military pay is used?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at him, and suddenly the words of Fang Xiaoru in the Palace of Qianqing came to mind, "There are no good people in the civil and military affairs of this dynasty!"
If we really enter Burma by sea, the vanguard must be those crazy things like the Ming Dynasty's criminals who were sentenced to death and settled down! These people will cause harm wherever they go! At that time, the leader will just say a word, and the brothers will let go
Robbery, there really is no need for military pay from the court.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi asked again in his mind, "Which one will move first, the Japanese or the Burmese? After the defeat, who will be the first to be enfeoffed? Is it the generation of the emperor's grandson? For example, the line of the King of Qin, the King of Jin
A line of sons?”

"Your Majesty! Please come this way!"
Deng Ping led people to protect him and walked to the market surrounded by Zhu Yunxi.
It was lunch time, and the food stalls were crowded with people.
"Is it this one?" Deng Ping pointed to a shop selling dog meat in front of him and asked.
Zhu Yunxi looked around and shook his head, "No!" He said, looking around again, "I remember that the butcher in this house is a widow!"
In front of the meat stall, a man with a sinewy face skillfully chopped the meat on the chopping board, making juices fly everywhere. While chopping, he smiled and talked to the diners.
"Then let's look for it again, little one?" Deng Ping said hurriedly, then turned to give instructions.
"No need!" Zhu Yunxi stopped him, "This is the butcher's shop, but it must have changed its owner!"
In his memory, he and the old man came to this shop several times, and he would not remember it wrong.
For no reason, a trace of sadness emerged in his heart.
From now on, the traces left by the old man in this world will become increasingly faded. The streets and alleys he walked may not have changed, but the people coming and going have changed.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were slightly startled.
He saw two familiar figures in this familiar yet unfamiliar butcher shop.
The Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying, and the Marquis of Jingchuan, Cao Zhen, were sitting in a remote corner behind the butcher shop. The two old men were so drunk in broad daylight that they were blinded. There were several empty jars of wine on the table.
, but the plate of meat in front of them seemed not to have been touched much.
Deng Ping also noticed them and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you still going in?"
"No, go back to the palace!" Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly.
~~
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" Guo Ying drank so much that her mouth was filled with tears, and she kept mumbling, "Hey, I didn't protect these gentlemen!"
Cao Zhen was pretty much the same. He was so drunk that his face turned red, his neck red, and his ears red. He squinted his eyes and said, "Fuck!"
"It's not that I can't protect you...you fool, it's that I fucking...don't dare!" Guo Ying shook her head again and said, "Hey, after all, I don't dare!"
"Grass!" Cao Zhen said again.
"The zhezi has been served!" Guo Ying grabbed the wine jar and poured himself wine. He shook it for a long time and only poured half of the bowl. He picked it up and took a sip and spilled most of it. "I'm tired. I want to go home and enjoy myself!" he said.
, laughed, "Go back to my hometown, damn, fish and raise birds, and I'll marry a few more concubines, hehe!"
"Fuck!" Cao Zhen cursed again, turned around and yelled at the butcher shop owner, "You have chicken feathers stuffed in your eyes? Are you drunk? Believe it or not, the stall was smashed, you are a bitch!"
The owner of the butcher shop had a rude look on his face, but faced with an old man who was accompanied by several people who looked like they were the followers of Lian Jiazi, he didn't dare to talk back, so he chopped off all the meat and went to get a drink.
"What should I do if you go back to your hometown?" Cao Zhen asked with a sideways glance, "Who should I go drinking with?"
As he spoke, he burped, then swallowed it, chewed it in his mouth, and spit out another mouthful of dregs, "I used to drink with Chang Yuchun. After he died, I drank with his brother-in-law. His brother-in-law also died, so I will follow you."
Drink..." He said, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, when the emperor was alive, I drank with him every now and then. Now that he is gone and you want to leave, what should I do?"
As he said that, he looked up at Guo Ying and said, "Fourth brother, you don't want me anymore?"
"Get out!" Guo Ying cursed, "You are so stupid!"
But then, when he looked at his old brother's reluctant eyes, the corners of his eyes became sore.
"The days are long in the future. If you want to drink, come to me or go to my place!" Guo Ying whispered.
"What if I die first one day!" Cao Zhen whispered, "Damn it!"
"Get out of here!" Guo Ying cursed.
The two of them drank this wine for who knows how long. Anyway, they ended up vomiting and were helped into the carriage by the accompanying soldiers.
"Fourth brother!" Cao Zhen got on the carriage and shouted from the window, "When are you leaving? I'll see you off!"
"Waiting for the words of Lord Long Live!" Guo Yingqiang held on, his head was dizzy but his heart was clear, he stood outside the carriage and smiled, "You don't need to send me off, shit, it's not a separation between life and death!"
"There used to be fortune tellers who said that you would live a long life!" Cao Zhen looked at Guo Ying and said, "Promise me, if I die and you are in front, you will have to help take care of those useless beasts in my house!"
Just as Guo Ying was about to agree, he suddenly remembered what the old man said to him before he died.
Therefore, he did not dare to agree immediately.
"Children and grandchildren will be blessed, don't think too far ahead!" Guo Ying whispered.
"Fuck!" Cao Zhen scolded and looked at Guo Ying again, "Tell me before I leave. It's okay if I don't send you off. I'll have another drink!" He said with a grin, "Call all the old brothers who are alive!
"
"Okay, I'll be the host!" Guo Ying waved her hand, "Let's go!"
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Cao Zhen's hand stretched out from the window, waving continuously.
Guo Ying stood there and waved twice as well.
Then, he looked at the bustling streets of the capital and looked in the direction of the Forbidden City. He refused the support of his soldiers and walked forward aimlessly with some staggering.
However, after walking more than a hundred meters, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind.
"Master Hou, go and see our master quickly!"
When Guo Ying heard the sound, he knew he was Cao Zhen's entourage.
"What's wrong with your master?" Guo Ying was shocked and instantly lost all sense of alcohol.ωωw..net
~~
Cao Zhen's carriage stopped in a quiet alley, and Guo Ying staggered over.
"Idiot Cao!" He growled lowly and leaned over.
Then I saw Cao Zhen leaning on a soft cushion, as if he was asleep in the carriage.
Guo Ying stretched out his hand tremblingly and touched it.
Then his hand shook violently.
After two lines of tears, he came down, "Fuck you, idiot Cao. Are you going to leave just now?"
Then, the old man squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry helplessly.
~~
"emperor!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxi had just changed his clothes and had not yet finished drinking a cup of hot tea.
The bastard quickly walked in and said anxiously, "Marquis Guo of Wuding has come to report that Marquis Cao of Jingchuan has passed away!"
"Who?" Zhu Yunxi didn't react for a moment, "Cao Zhen!"
As he said that, he sat on the throne in a daze, "Did you see him drinking with Guo Ying at noon?"
It's unbelievable.
He just left like that?
"Where's Marquis Guo?"
"Wait outside!"
"pass!"
~~
"Your Majesty!"
Not long after, Guo Ying came in crying and knelt on the ground, "Cao Zhen is gone!"
"He..." Zhu Yunxi had mixed feelings in his heart, "Can I say anything before I leave?"
Guo Ying shook his head, "He said he asked me to take care of his heir!" As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and looked into Zhu Yunxi's eyes, "Your Majesty, although he walks fast, I know that there are still things in his heart that he can't let go of!"
"you say!"
"Do you still remember that time? Idiot Cao...he kept asking if he could enter the Temple of Meritorious Officials after his death!" He said, kowtow, "Actually, he deserves it! He really deserves it!"
