He, Li Jinglong, could describe Luzon as a paradise on earth, but he would never be willing to serve as an official in that poor place.
There is no place to drink flowers and wine, and the girls are swarthy and not even pretty. How can they live?
Whoever wants to go can go, but he, Li Jinglong, will not go.
Besides, that place was for people to stay. It was hot from morning to night. After staying there for dozens of days, Li Jinglong always felt like the roots in his pants were thickened and sticky.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong who was holding his thigh, and sighed, "Hey, to be honest, these days when you are gone, I don't even have anyone around me who I can talk to freely. Thinking about it, I really can't live without you!"
"I am a useless person, so I can only talk to the emperor!" Li Jinglong swallowed.
Zhu Yunxi gently pulled him up and said, "I can't live without you, but Luzon is my first step to emigrate to the sea in the Ming Dynasty. I'm really worried about waiting for others to pass by. The governor of Luzon is also very good, isn't he the emperor of the country?"
"
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong was so anxious that he was covered in cold sweat and begged for mercy again and again.
"I know you don't want to go!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "In our Ming Dynasty, going to Guangxi to be an official was considered a ban, and going to Qiongzhou was equivalent to exile. Let you, a hereditary and irreplaceable prince, go to Luzon, which is better than being exiled.
It’s still uncomfortable, right?”
Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Zhu Yunxi's smile.
He knows the emperor in front of him very well. As long as the emperor smiles like this, nothing good will happen. This emperor is a cat, and he will be sour when he says he is sour. One second he was nice to you, and the next second he can make you shine like a star.
Back as if facing an abyss.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi's smiling face disappeared immediately.
He lowered his head and looked at Li Jinglong with some scrutiny, "Don't you think you should be sent to exile?"
"You open Taibai Building? Ah!"
"My lord..." Li Jinglong spoke in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, my original intention of opening Taibai Tower is because Marquis Chengen..."
"Oh, seeing that the queen's natal family is not having a good life, you just want to help?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "You are such a kind person!" Then he looked at Li Jinglong again, "Why didn't I realize before that the Ming Dynasty still had
Where is a living Bodhisattva like you?"
As he spoke, he snorted, "What are you planning, do you think I don't know? There are so many poor people in the world, but you, Cao Guogong, have not seen any relief. The queen's natal family is not living a good life, and you are tearing out the doors and stealing holes to find a way to make money."
?”
"Oh, Mr. Guo, you are thinking very far ahead!"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die for my crime!" Li Jinglong's soul was gone after those words.
Whether this kind of thing is big or small depends on what the emperor thinks. If the emperor is open-minded and laughs it off, if it is a small-minded emperor, then the matter will be serious.
However, the emperors of the Zhu family were not very big-minded, and they were all the type who would never let go of their grudges.
The emperor is in his prime, why are you interfering with the queen's family? How old is the prince, and you want to become a princeling? It's too early to invest!
Li Jinglong's intestines were filled with regret. Why did he fall in love with lard in the first place? Why did he open a Taibai Tower?
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed my fault. But I don't have the thoughts you think!" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, "It is true that I am a philistine who works hard to make friends. I say that I have a delicate face.
It’s true that I want to please you everywhere. But I don’t dare to..."
Zhu Yunxi returned to the throne and sat down, cracking melon seeds, "What kind of thoughts do I have? Tell me?"
"My lord..." Li Jinglong was sweating and shaking all over.
Taibai Tower is not a big deal, nor is it a big deal for a few distinguished relatives of the emperor to cooperate in business. This kind of thing has never been forbidden in all dynasties, ancient and modern. Speaking of being loyal to the country, it is a fool.
If people do not serve themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth. What is the purpose of being an official and holding power?
But on this matter, Zhu Yunxi must beat it, beat it hard.
Not to mention Li Jinglong, his own uncle Zheng Guogong and his two brothers are currently at home thinking about their mistakes.
Now there are some signs among the courtiers that they consider themselves to be princelings no matter how young they are.
Xiao Jin, standing clearly behind him, were three hereditary princes: the Chang family, the Chang family's in-laws, the Feng family, and his Li family.
Is this on the surface, but what about the inside?
Moreover, as Jin gets older and has his status as a prince, it becomes impossible for him not to have a princeling.
If he has a princeling behind him after he comes of age, it will be fine. That will be the help of the court and someone he can use as his confidant. But before he comes of age, having so many powerful people around him will not only not be able to help Jin, but will also harm him!
Are there few such examples throughout the ages?
Royal, no matter how tender it is, it is still royal. Behind tenderness is power.
"Speak, can't you speak?" Zhu Yunxi simply sat cross-legged, spitting out melon seed peels, "You, Mr. Cao Guo, are eloquent. Tell me today how ugly you are!"
Li Jinglong took two steps on his knees and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I only have a heart that only knows how to fawn! I have selfish motives!"
"I want to encourage Marquis Chengen to do business together because I want him to think of me. If he thinks of me, the queen will also think of me. Your Majesty..."
Wow, the melon seeds in Zhu Yunxi's hand splashed directly into Li Jinglong's face.
"You are my subject, and I use people other than me. How about remembering you?" Zhu Yunxi scolded, "You seem to be smart, but you are as stupid as a dog. Your majestic prince only cares about these flies and dogs.
You are more diligent than anyone else in doing this invisible thing!"
"That's right, you have a heart that is good at fawning!" Zhu Yunxi continued to scold, "You spend a small amount of money to gain a lot of strength, and you do these frivolous things!"
"What are you trying to do all day long? What do you tell me you lack? What do you want? What don't I give you?"
Zhu Yunxi's series of questions made Li Jinglong horrified.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am afraid!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid...I'm afraid..." Li Jinglong cried, "Back then, my father died young, and I was the only one to support the Duke's Mansion. It seemed like a decent place, but in fact it was
An minister also...I think that people are not as good as a hundred days, flowers are as red as a hundred days, and I want to be well-liked..."
The most prominent relative of the Ming Dynasty, the noble Duke with outstanding military exploits, also has the blood of the Zhu family flowing through his body. But behind all this, there is also an unknown sadness.
"Haha, good popularity!" Zhu Yunxi put his hand into his sleeve with a smile, "All the good popularity has come to me!" He said, spreading his palms.
"Ah!" Li Jinglong exclaimed in a low voice and quickly kowtowed, "I deserve to die!"
In Zhu Yunxi's palm, there was a ruby as big as an eyeball.
It was the one that Li Jinglong gave to Wang Sha when he entered the palace.
While Li Jinglong was frightened, he cursed in his heart, "Wang Shame, you old gelding, I'll take care of your grandma!"
Zhu Yunxi held the ruby between his two fingers, put it under the sun, and looked at it carefully, "Cao Guogong is really good with his hands. The eunuch next to me gave him such a valuable thing." He said with a smile, "You are really rich!"
