Chapter 2433 The King's Mansion's Chief History

"I have said that the Lu Palace is not rich either." King Zhu Shouyong of Lu's face turned black.

These civil servants are all bad people, and they will think about the things from the Lu Prince's Mansion whenever they have something to do.

"I wonder how much money and grain can Your Highness give away to reward the soldiers guarding the city?" Yanzhou prefect asked tentatively.

Hearing this, King Zhu Shouyong, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at the Yanzhou prefect in front of him with a dark face.

It was clearly him asking these officials in Yanzhou Prefecture how much money and grain would be paid for the Lu Palace, but in a few words, it turned out how much money and grain the Lu Palace could pay for the Yanzhou Prefecture.

He knew that none of these civil servants had a good thing.

Seeing that the King of Lu did not speak, the Yanzhou prefect said again: "I believe that Your Highness must have heard a lot about what the tiger thieves did to many palaces in Henan. Only by defending Ziyang City can you ensure the safety of Your Highness and the Palace of Lu. If you want to ensure the safety of Ziyang City, it is natural that Han Xin will order more troops and make the better."

As he said that, he looked at King Lu Zhu Shouyong.

However, Zhu Shouyong's face had turned black like the bottom of a pot.

Only now did he realize that these civil servants are not good things and are still ill-hearted.

It is obvious that the more soldiers and generals defending the city, the better, but it is not that he wants his Prince Lu’s mansion to have more money and food, the better.

"Your Highness, do you think what the subordinates said is reasonable?" The prefect of Yanzhou looked at King Zhu Shouyong of Lu with a smile.

Seeing this smile, Zhu Shouyong wanted to hit the other party's face with an old punch, but he knew that he could not do this, and he had to rely on these civil servants to guard Ziyang City.

But he was unwilling to let the Prince Lu's mansion take out too much money and grain to defend Ziyang City at once.

Baojing local safety is the responsibility of local officials, and he is already in the military officers of the Prince of Lu's Mansion.

Thinking of this, King Lu said, "I took out two hundred stones of grain and three thousand taels of silver to guard the city of Ziyang."

If Ziyang City had not been lost, the Lu Palace would have suffered as a result, and he would not have given one tael of silver to these Yanzhou Palace officials.

"Only three thousand taels!" The Yanzhou prefect frowned.

Obviously, I think there is little money.

When he heard this, Zhu Shouyong, the King of Lu, looked displeased and said, "Three thousand taels are already a lot, not to mention two hundred stones of grain. The Prince of Lu's mansion has a great family and a large population. I have to piece together these things to barely make up. I have tried my best to guard the city of Ziyang. Moreover, you, the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture, should do these things, instead of leaving everything for me."

When the Yanzhou prefect heard this, he knew that King Lu was dissatisfied and continued to force him to repent and would no longer take out money and food.

Immediately, he said: "I thank Your Highness Your Highness for the people in the city first. I believe that with Your Highness as an example, the city will definitely be united and devoted to defending Ziyang City."

"There is no need to express my opinion to me here. As long as I no longer ask for money from me, I will be content." Zhu Shouyong, the King of Lu, was unmoved by the praise of the prefect of Yanzhou.

He knew the words of these civil servants too well, and although he could not say that the dead were alive, it was not much worse.

The Yanzhou Prefect smiled awkwardly.

The richest person in Ziyang City is King Lu, and the lack of money must be solved by King Lu.

King Zhu Shouyong of Lu raised his chest slightly and said, "Okay, I'm tired, I'll give up if I have nothing to do!"

He waved his hand impatiently.

"The subordinates sue for retreat."

The Yanzhou Prefecture and several Yanzhou Prefecture officials bowed and retreated from the hall of King Lu.

.

The inner supervisor of the Lu Palace guided the way and sent these officials all the way outside the palace gate.

As soon as several officials from Yanzhou Prefecture came out, they saw Zhang Shuocheng, the chief of the Prince of Lu's Mansion, waiting outside the palace gate.

"I have seen the palace and several colleagues." Chief Secretary Zhang Shuocheng bowed his hand and greeted several Yanzhou officials in front of him.

Officials from Yanzhou Prefecture also bowed their fists and greeted him.

"Is Zhang Changshi going to see His Highness King Lu?" The Yanzhou Prefect asked Zhang Shuocheng, the chief who was waiting outside the palace gate.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuocheng shook his head slightly and said, "I am waiting for the office and all my colleagues."

"Wait for us?" The Yanzhou prefect was a little stunned.

Zhang Shuocheng said: "His Prince Lu agreed to the request of Futai and others and took out some money and grain to guard Ziyang City?"

"Your Highness the King of Lu is still willing to contribute to Ziyang City, and I admire this very much." The prefect of Yanzhou praised King of Lu.

There was no intention to conceal the fact that King Lu took out money and food.

Zhang Shuocheng smiled and said, "Your Highness of the King of Lu definitely does not want Ziyang City to fall into the hands of tiger thieves, so I am not surprised to take out money and food to defend the city."

There were examples of a group of vassal kings in Henan, and he believed that no matter how stingy the King of Lu was, he would use some of the money and grain to defend the city.

If Ziyang City cannot be defended, no matter how much wealth the Prince of Lu has accumulated, it will only benefit outsiders in the end.

"What exactly do Zhang Changshi want to say?" The Yanzhou prefect didn't believe that the other party's prince's chief stopped them just to say these useless nonsense.

The Yanzhou Tongzhi who was standing beside him also said, "What do you mean by Zhang Changshi? Everyone is an official in Yanzhou Prefecture. Although one is the government office and the other is the Prince of Lu, they are all in Ziyang City, and everyone is a colleague."

"The Futai didn't ask for much money and food from His Highness King Lu! I'm afraid it didn't meet the expectations in the Futai and his colleagues." Zhang Shuocheng looked at the Yanzhou Prefect in front of him with a smile, and then looked at the other Yanzhou officials.

The Yanzhou prefect who heard this had no words.

Although I asked for money and grain from King Lu, the amount of money and grain was indeed not large. Compared with such a wealthy place as the King of Lu Mansion, this amount of money and grain was not even a drop in the King of Lu Mansion.

"Can Zhang let His Highness King Lu get more money and food?" The Yanzhou Tongzhi next to him lit up.

If you want to defend Ziyang City, you must have money and food. Where you can take out enough money and food to defend the city, there is only the Prince of Lu’s Mansion in the entire Ziyang City.

If the Lu Prince's Mansion takes more money and grain to defend the city, the officials of Yanzhou Prefecture will be less pressure.

Zhang Shuocheng shook his head slightly to the Yanzhou Tongzhi in front of him and said, "Although our King of Lu is not a person who regards wealth as his life, it is basically impossible to expect him to spend a lot of money and grain to defend the city."

A sentence denied the idea of ​​Yanzhou Tongzhi wanting to obtain a large amount of money and food from the Prince of Lu's Mansion.

Hearing this, the Yanzhou Tongzhi looked disappointed.

Even he understood that these vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were mostly mediocre people, and they only focused on the things in their hands for the rest of their lives. Few were willing to sacrifice the wealth of the royal palace to relieve the court's worries.

This is the case for the vassal kings in Shanxi, and the same is true for the vassal kings in Shaanxi. Later, the vassal kings in Henan were still the case. Now it is finally the turn of the vassal kings in Shandong.
