Daming: From the end of Hongwu

However, Zhu Gaochi then pondered over what Zhen Wu said just now.

benevolent government?tyranny?

……

At the same time, in Hanwang's mansion, the banquet was at the time of excitement, and Zhu Gaoxu even bragged with a group of his colleagues in the army without airs.

At this time, a person suddenly came to the hall and hurriedly came to Zhu Gaoxu's ear to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao bumped into His Highness the Crown Prince while playing."

Zhu Gaoxu, who was drinking to his heart's content, felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a piece of mouse feces.

A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he endured it a few times, but finally he couldn't hold back and walked away, which made all his colleagues in the army look at each other.

But fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu had some loyal people, and quickly greeted the others on Zhu Gaoxu's behalf to get lively again.

And after Zhu Gaoxu returned to the room alone, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, kicked over the table and chair in front of him, and then felt that the anger was not exhausted, he bent down and lifted a chair and smashed it wildly.

After smashing for a while, Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the ground panting.

he thought angrily.

Boss is such a thieves, he will sneak in whenever he sees a crack.

And brother-in-law is also stingy, didn't he just stop Wang Tong from attacking the noble, as for still getting angry with him even now? !

……

When Zhen Wu returned home, he chatted with his family about the lively events of the day, seeming to be enjoying themselves, and he was in a post station ten miles outside Nanjing.

The envoy from Annan, Du Xing, brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, hurried all the way, and finally arrived in Nanjing.

He looked in the direction of the capital from a distance, thinking about the magnificent city in his mind, with yearning in his eyes, he couldn't help but wonder when they, Annan, would be as prosperous and powerful as Daming.

almost.

Du Sheng thought for sure.

Because Li Jishang, the lord of Annan, is the most talented and generous monarch he has ever seen. He believes that under Li Jishang's leadership, Annan will surely flourish like Ming Dynasty.

The night gradually deepened.

Du Sheng fell asleep with a sweet dream in his arms, and when he waited until the early morning of the next day, he asked his followers to pack up, patted on the gold, silver and jewelry that represented hope, and urged everyone to leave for the capital.

Two hours later, they arrived at the city of Nanjing.

The people from Annan who came to Daming for the first time saw the bustling crowds, and they were so surprised that they could not close their mouths from ear to ear. After Du Sheng saw it, he just smiled and shook his head. It was not like this when he came for the first time.

Afterwards, a group of people started queuing up to enter the city, then went to the Ministry of Rites, and under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, they lived in the embassy that specially entertained envoys from various countries.

In the afternoon of that day, Du Sheng couldn't wait to take the gold and silver treasures and started to start a relationship.

The first stop is Zhao Guogong Zhenwu, who is the first and most important in the Du Province relationship list.

And when Zhen Wu saw Du Sheng, Zhen Wu was surprised for a long time before he came back to his senses. He had been waiting for Chen Tianping to enter the capital, but he didn't expect Chen Tianping to wait for Du Sheng first.

Du Sheng smiled at Zhen Wu, pretending to be well-behaved, and asked someone to carry two boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Zhen Wu stepped forward to open the box, took a look, took a breath and said, "This..."

Damn, I seem to have seen this scene before.

Du Xing said with a smile: "I took the liberty to disturb you this time. I really have something to ask the Duke. I hope the Duke will not dislike these greetings."

Zhen Wu turned his attention to the gold and silver treasures again, and he couldn't help thinking, these things are hard to be disgusted with.

However, what is Du Sheng asking for here?

Zhen Wu pondered.

He was thinking about how to beat Annan every day, and why Du Sheng sent him money.

As a military fund?

This is too polite.

At this time, Du Sheng looked around, and then stepped forward and whispered next to Zhen Wu: "Last time, the matter of asking for the title was due to the help of the Duke. Da En, if the Duke needs me to wait for something in the future, the Duke can say bluntly, you are our Annan friend, no matter what it is, we will never say anything, and help the Duke to do it beautifully."

"Really...really?" Zhen Wu couldn't help asking.

"Of course it's true." Du Xing looked serious, even afraid that Zhen Wu would not believe him, so he immediately wanted to swear in front of Zhen Wu.

This…

Seeing Du Sheng's appearance, Zhen Wu couldn't hold back in his heart, and almost wanted to ask them to give up Annan's land to Daming.

"Don't do this, really, hey hey, don't swear..." Zhen Wu stopped Du Xing's movement, and said, "You should tell me first, what is the matter of you coming here this time."

As soon as Du Xing heard Zhen Wu's question, he straightened his expression and said: "It's not a big deal, it's easy for the Duke, the reason is this, there are some people with ulterior motives in our country who pretend to be the children of the Chen family and plan to Come to Daming to deceive His Majesty the Emperor of Ming, Duke, you also know that all the children of the Chen family have died, how can there be any children of the Chen family, but our king is afraid that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will be deceived by people with ulterior motives, so we have a good opinion of our king. Therefore, this time, I was asked to rush to Daming to ask the Duke for help."

Zhen Wu's expression became strange: "How do you want me to help you?"

Du Xing said in a low voice: "If it's convenient for the Duke, let someone intercept that person on the road." After speaking, Du Xing made a movement of wiping his neck, and then continued: "Don't let those people bother Emperor Ming , so that everyone can save trouble and worry, of course, if the Duke is willing to help one or two, we Annan will definitely not let the Duke's busy work, and the benefits of the Duke will definitely be indispensable."

Kill Chen Tianping?

Good guy.

Du Sheng really dared to think.

But the problem was that Zhen Wu was looking forward to Chen Tianping's coming to Beijing, so why would he send someone to intercept and kill Chen Tianping himself.

"This is really hard to handle." Zhen Wu couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

However, what Zhen Wu didn't expect was that Du Xing didn't panic at all. With a clap of hands, someone sent in a small box of treasures, and Du Xing signaled Zhen Wu to open it.

Zhen Wu opened the box suspiciously, and a golden light was revealed for a moment, it turned out to be a small box of golden beans.

Du Xing said: "These golden beans are good for the Duke whether he plays with them himself or casts them. Even if he keeps them for rewarding others, the Duke's rules that I know will definitely satisfy the Duke."

hiss.

Zhen Wu reached out to grab a handful from the box, and the golden beans slipped from his hand one by one, the crisp sound was very pleasant.

To be honest, Zhen Wu really thought about the addiction of bouncing beans whenever he saw anyone.

But Zhen Wu thought about it and shook his head.

After Du Xing saw it, to Zhen Wu's surprise, he still didn't panic, and even had a confident smile on his face. He clapped his hands lightly again, and then someone brought in a box of golden beans.

This…

Zhen Wu was a little confused.

Is this throwing money at him?

fuck.

He has been the Duke of the state for so long, and he has never seen anyone who can beat him down with money.

Moreover, the question is when did he get the impression that he could be knocked down by Jindouzi.

It's not scientific.

He didn't think he was too greedy for his performance last time, why was he being thrown with money.

This bastard Du Sheng dared to look down on him.

……

Chapter 371 - Disagreement

The several boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the hall are each blooming with their dazzling brilliance, which is really beautiful and fascinating.

This made Zhen Wu have to admit that it is really not easy to be a cadre.

Even though he felt a little offended by Du Sheng's behavior, and even felt that his personality was insulted, but he didn't know why, but he couldn't feel any dislike for Du Sheng.

People do not blame?

Or Zhen Wu subconsciously hoped that Annan would have more such wonderful people.

Zhen Wu didn't know about this.

But Zhen Wu knew that these gold and silver treasures should be the best thing to test the cadres, even the beauty may not be enough.

Because of his resistance in this area, Zhen Wu couldn't help but be tempted when he reached the Golden Immortal realm, so he couldn't believe how many people in this world could remain indifferent when facing these things.

Of course, Zhen Wu's temptation was not because he wanted to collect money to do things.

He has very low principles for being a human being.

He looked at these gold, silver and jewels, and at the moment, he was only thinking about one thing, whether he should... black and white.

Once the money is collected, nothing can be done, and I will do whatever I like.

However, Zhen Wu thought for a long time, but still endured this rather tempting thought.

If it was something else, he might really have done it this way, but for a state matter like attacking Annan, Zhen Wu really didn't want to dirty his feathers.

They are upright and upright teachers of justice, there is no need to accept this money to provoke public opinion and slander, not to mention that after he takes down Annan, it will still be theirs.

Thinking of this, Zhen Wu's eyebrows suddenly twitched with anger.

Du Sheng, this bastard, actually gave them their things as gifts, it's so damn hateful, and what's even worse is that he was almost bewitched by this old thief to accept it.

Outrageous.

Zhen Wu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Du, you can't see people right."

Not allowed?

Du Sheng immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Duke, we still have more, this is easy to discuss."

hiss.

Zhen Wu almost didn't come up, he was talking about being inaccurate, what was Du Xing talking about?

Not enough? !

Good guy.

What a fucking good guy.

"Come on."

Zhen Wu shouted with a sullen face, and when he saw Cheng Liang walking in, Zhen Wu then said coldly: "Seeing off the guests."

Du Sheng was dumbfounded.

How come Zhao Guogong is real.

This is quite different from what he had imagined. He quickly said to Zhen Wu: "Why did the Duke get angry? Did the servant say something offensive? The servant hereby apologizes to the Duke and asks the Duke forgive."

Zhen Wu looked at Du Sheng, and he suddenly became very serious and said: "Zhen is actually very happy to help Mr. Du, but if a small country deceives me, Ming, and it is related to my prestige, Zhen can't take it as a trivial matter Since Mr. Du said that someone with ulterior motives pretended to be a child of the Chen family, it is better for Mr. Du to stay in the capital temporarily. When the child of the Chen family arrives in Beijing, the truth will be revealed after Mr. Du argues with him in court? Why do you need to send these things to the court? Zhen."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu turned around and waved his hand.

Cheng Liang ignored Du Sheng's unwilling struggle, grabbed Du Sheng with an iron fist and walked out.

Annoyed, Zhen Wu called the monkey in loudly again. He pointed to the gold, silver and jewels and said, "Throw these things out for them too."

"what?"

The monkey wondered, "We don't want it?"

"I want your mother's head." Zhen Wu cursed in a bad mood: "What do you think I am?"

The monkey shrank from being scolded, and quickly called a few more people in, carried all the things back and returned them, but when returning them, the monkey couldn't help but bleed.

When he and Cheng Liang were waiting outside, they already regarded these as their own. They planned to ask Zhen Wu, who had made a fortune, for a reward to go drinking, but it was all for naught.

And when Du Sheng was kicked out of the gate of Zhao Guogong's mansion, he looked at the grand gate, still full of doubts, why was he kicked out?

Logically speaking, shouldn't there be a banquet?

Why is Zhao Guogong not following the rules today?

But he didn't know that Zhen Wu had already fallen into deep thought at this time.

Zhen Wu has never forgotten that he still has the script given by Zhu Di. When Chen Tianping arrives in the capital, he needs to act as a vanguard to make things worse, so that all civil and military officials have to support Zhu Di's desire to fight. Send Annan's idea, or at least make a fuss so that civil and military officials can't say anything to reject it.

In fact, there are no fools who can become an official in the imperial court. After the invasion of Annan, Ming's control over the Nanyang Peninsula will rise in a straight line. This is directly related to the Nanyang trade. Many big families on the southeast coast have been trading at sea since the Yuan Dynasty. Constantly, they have more or less contacts with Japanese pirates, pirates at sea, and some anti-Ming rebels in the early Ming Dynasty. These big clans rely on these relationships to make a lot of money in Nanyang trade, and those pirates , Japanese pirates, etc. also lived happily at sea because of these many merchant ships.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was unable to deal with the sea affairs, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to ban the sea, but how could it be possible to completely ban it when it was profitable.

Now that Zhu Di wants to fight Annan, he obviously intends to use the land of Annan to clean up the South China Sea, open up and maintain trade routes. After there is no wave, they have to rely on the court if they want to trade, and relying on the court, not to mention the need to look at the face of the court, the interests are also very different, how can they accept this.
