The night was already deep, and Zhu Youli was tossing and turning in Prince De's palace. Today was a very strange day for him. He was suddenly made king four years ago. After a brief surprise, he was followed by disappointment and ridicule for this prince.
He felt extremely aggrieved. Although he was a king, he was looked down upon by others because he had no foundation or connections. Even the palace was still in ruins. No matter how he wrote to ask for help, the emperor himself could not save himself. How could he have the energy and money to take care of him.
As a result, King Xinde almost became the laughingstock of Jinan Mansion, and local snake Liu Zeqing even dared to shit on his head.
However, Zhu Youli was a noble person and did not lower his head to please others because he was powerless. The Ming Dynasty vassal king shook his head and raised his head. This was his last pride and dignity.
But dignity cannot be used as food or money. A few months ago, the entire Ming Dynasty was swaying in the wind and rain, and the building was about to collapse. At that time, he became discouraged and thought of living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
But no one expected that the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by the Qing army and the bandits, miraculously withstood the pressure and even fought back to break the deadlock and gain life.
It was good for the Ming Dynasty to regain its majesty, but Prince Taide's palace was still half-dead. This made people depressed and helpless, but they didn't know that the opportunity to change their destiny had suddenly come.
The visit of the young eunuch shocked him greatly.
Chang Yu's reputation is naturally known to Zhu Youli. You must know that the court's ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain in the huge waves in the past few months is all due to this great eunuch!
However, Zhu Youli never thought that this eunuch would interact with him.
However, in reality, he really came!
Zhu Youli is an extremely smart person, and he is also a person who knows how to seize opportunities. The young eunuch asked for food, but he had to give it to him under both soft and hard tactics. It seemed that he was finally impressed by Liu Zeqing's benefits, but in fact he was willing to do so.
Once he came, he could make a huge sum of money. This was his original intention of saving grain. Although grain was now priceless and unmarketable, the price for buying him 100,000 shi for one million silver was not bad.
Secondly, and most importantly, use the line of the little eunuch to make him owe you a favor. Who is the little eunuch? The celebrity in front of the emperor, the leader of the Dongchang, the boss of the military governor, anyone in the government or the public.
A man of great influence.
Once you hook up with him, who will dare to say that Prince De's palace has no connections and no backing? Anyone who wants to humiliate him must think carefully.
As for the grain payment, the young eunuch paid 20 yuan in advance and kept the balance for three months on credit. Zhu Youli was not worried about his default, because the grain was not for the young eunuch's personal use, but as military ration. He represented the court, and with him
With a golden sign, it is impossible for him to default on his debt, but he is very likely to delay it, so why not sell him some favors.
One hundred thousand stones is not a small amount, it is almost the bottom line of the palace's inventory for several years. Zhu Youli felt a little distressed to get it all out at once, but he admired the little eunuch's courage even more, and he actually wanted to use half of it for disaster relief.
Food is so expensive these days, half of it is equivalent to five hundred thousand taels of silver. It's really a big deal, and Zhu Youli is ashamed of it!
Tossing and turning, Zhu Youli still couldn't sleep, so she got up and went to find Chang Shi and others to discuss leaving the warehouse tomorrow. As soon as he opened the door, he saw two people standing in the yard, one was Su Jing, this woman had the power of a night devil.
Zhu Youli has long been accustomed to saying that he stays up day and night, but the other one is Song Luoshu who has left!
"You, why are you back again?" Zhu Youli was a little surprised. No one informed him, so he naturally climbed over the wall and entered. These people in the world...could this kid want to hook up with Su Jing?
"In reply to the prince, I am here to deliver the message on the order of the governor." Song Luoshu bowed and saluted, then took a step forward and whispered a few words. Zhu Youli was surprised: "Seriously?"
"If that's not the case, why bother asking me to send the message late at night?" Song Luoshu said quickly, and Zhu Youli nodded slightly: "Eunuch Chang is interested, and I will remember this favor." He glanced at Su Jing and said to Song Luoshu: "Come but not
It's not rude. We'll talk about that matter when Eunuch Chang comes tomorrow. You can go back."
Zhu Youli was surprised and grateful. The little eunuch sent someone over late at night to tell him that tomorrow he would open a warehouse to provide disaster relief in the name of Prince De's Mansion, because Liu Zeqing would also open a warehouse to provide disaster relief tomorrow, and he could not let him rob him of his good reputation... Spend his own money to sell
However, the food relief effort gave up his reputation. The little eunuch was so upright and upright that Zhu Youli felt a little ashamed for a while.
What's sad is that Zhu Youjue, who never believed in pie-in-the-sky pie, knew that this was a hole dug for him by the little eunuch. When he found out the truth, he almost lost his temper and left. Of course, this is a story later.
"Damn it, why did you forget this?" Chang Yu, who was sleeping soundly in the General Military Mansion, rolled over with a curse. Chen Wangting outside thought something was going to happen, so he barged in with a knife, only to see Chang Yu sitting there with an angry look on his face.
He rubbed his head on the edge of the bed: "What's wrong, sir?"
"Monk Haihong's place hasn't been found yet, go and ask Liu Zeqing to come over."
It turned out that Chang Yu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly thought of the horse scare on the street in the evening. At that time, Li Muxian said: If the Yan family doesn't come to the door within an hour, there will be big trouble again.
But I don’t know if it’s because the Yan family is too awesome, or because Liu Zeqing’s name doesn’t scare people, or because the Yan family just thinks he’s showing off and talking big words and doesn’t pay attention to him at all. In the evening, Chang Yu and his entourage ate and drank and talked about it.
I forgot about it, but I remembered it when I was asleep. I have to say that this kid really wants revenge, and his revenge will not last overnight.
Liu Zeqing was so excited because of the pie that Chang Yu painted that he had not yet fallen asleep. When he heard that the little eunuch wanted to see him, he hurriedly went there, wondering what had happened.
"Is there a Yan family in Jinan City?" Chang Yu, who was already dressed and sitting in front of the hall, saw Liu Zeqing coming over and asked. Liu Zeqing was a little confused and nodded: "There is a Yan family in the east of the city. They are a wealthy gentry, and they have some history with a humble position. Could it be that
Do you also know the Lord Governor?"
"No wonder he is so arrogant. I have your backing." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Liu Zeqing knew something bad: "Master Governor, but the Yan family bumped into you?"
"That's right. If I hadn't sacrificed my life to protect you, I would have been hit!" Chang Yu said and stood up, "Chen Wangting asked someone to arrest the guy. Let's go to the Yan family tonight and we won't get to know each other."
Look who is supporting him to be so lawless in Jinan City."
"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down." Liu Zeqing quickly stopped Chang Yu: "If the Yan family really did something against you, they should be humble enough to stand up for you. How dare you trouble you! The Yan family is not worthy of you going there in person!"
Chang Yu snorted and made a show of face. Chen Wangting told Liu Zeqing about the conflict. At the same time, the noise here also woke up Wu Zhong and others. They got up one after another and only remembered the incident after hearing the reason.
Suddenly, everyone was furious and wanted to find a place.
This made Liu Zeqing very worried. What the hell was going on? He had scolded the Yan family for dozens of generations in his heart, but he couldn't really let these people come to his door. After all, the Yan family was on good terms with him.
, to put it bluntly, they are working together, otherwise they would not be so violent.
"Lord Governor, please calm down, please calm down. This happened in Jinan City. I, the humble landlord, must take responsibility for it. Please wait a moment. Within half an hour, the Yan family must kneel in front of you to apologize and accept the beating and punishment." Liu Zeqing
He made a gesture to temporarily extinguish everyone's anger, and ordered the servants to go to Yan's house immediately to inform him and come to apologize.
"Those who hit me are exempt from crime, but the person who hit me must be given an explanation." Chang Yu looked at Hai Hong standing at the door: "Great monk, what do you think is going on?"
Monk Haikuan clasped his hands together and said: "The poor monk listens to the governor, and the governor has the final say in everything."
Chang Yu hummed, lowered his head and thought for a moment before looking at Li Muchian: "How much do you think is appropriate, Taoist Master Fang?"
"Buddhism emphasizes the return of ninety-nine to one, so let's make up the whole number." Li Muxian chuckled, Chang Yu nodded, and pointed his finger at Liu Zeqing: "This number plus ten thousand shi of grain to provide disaster relief in the name of this great monk."
"The poor monk would like to thank the Lord Governor on behalf of all the people in the world." Monk Haihong clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Chang Yu, then he floated away.
"The Yan family is from a wealthy family," Liu Zeqing shrugged. He never felt bad about being generous to others, which happened to make Yan's parents remember.
