[Comprehensive martial arts] Protect our little prince

Zhao Mingyu tilted his head purely and innocently, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense."

Speaking of which, he is already so old, and there are guards and secret guards by his side, there is absolutely no need to follow others if he wants to go out. In this case, why would he beg Lu Xiaofeng, why not just go back to the palace and discuss it with his brother?

The little prince came to his senses after a while, and very straightforwardly asked Lu Xiaofeng to continue drinking. He still had things to do when he returned to the palace, so I will see you next time.

Lu *Tool Man* Xiaofeng: ...

really go? ! !

After so many years of relationship between them, shouldn't they roll around like a baby to get him to agree at this time, just turn around and walk away, Zhao Mingyu, you are not right!

Do you have other good brothers out there?

However, no matter what Lu Xiaofeng yelled in his heart, the little prince still only left him a back view, no, after turning the street corner, he didn't even leave a back view for him.

Zhao Mingyu rushed back to the palace, asked if there was any minister in the imperial study who reported the matter, and then started calling for brother from a long distance, before he heard the voice, Zhao Mingning was hit by his precious brother as soon as he got up.

"What happened in such a hurry?" His Majesty the Emperor pulled the young man who had reached his chest off his body. My younger brother was grown up, and he was no longer the little white dumpling that could be easily picked up.

It's not that he can't bear the strength, but that people can see that the influence is not good, and the influence is not good.

The little prince didn't know what his dear brother was thinking, he looked over with bright eyes and said, "Brother, do you want to do business with overseas?"

The sea ban has been lifted, private businessmen can go to sea, and the imperial court can naturally, with so much small money floating overseas, there is absolutely no one who will not be tempted.

The small money fan looks at the big money fan, and the whole person is in a state of excitement. The imperial court has its own industries in the private sector, but there are not many industries. Their main source of income is various taxes. Compared with taxes, the income of industrial shops is only a drop in the bucket .

Commercial tax has existed since ancient times, but it was the first time in this dynasty that it was formulated as a policy decree, and commercial tax was officially listed as a fixed tax revenue of the country. Officials have no right to increase exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes at will. All taxes are turned over to the treasury. It is clear at a glance that once the sea ban is lifted, the Shibo Department will soon have to get busy.

He doesn't intervene in the specifics, that's the job of the emperor and ministers, he does the work for others, and doesn't pay him a salary, but it's related to the revenue of the treasury, so we can't take it lightly.

Zhao Mingning had already received relevant information from others. Now that he heard about the merchant ships at sea, he began to think about it. He was really too poor. If the treasury had enough money, all the problems he was troubled by now would be nothing.

Thinking back then, he also felt that there was no trade between the Great Song Dynasty, Chaoshang Kingdom, and the small maritime countries. They did not lack that little money. Until Zhao Mingyu took a pen and paper to settle the accounts for him, he Only then did I realize what I had missed.

What floats on the sea is not a ship, it is all silver.

It's just that doing business with overseas is not a trivial matter. The threats to merchant ships are not only the storms at sea, but also the elusive pirates and bandits. At present, the troops of the Song Dynasty can deal with Xixia and Liao first, and the navy really can't spare their energy.

It's not that he can't spare his energy, the main thing is that the treasury has been emptied by the Northwest, and he is as poor as he is, and he really can't afford money to train the navy.

The imperial court has no money and can only rely on the people. The benefits of maritime trade are so great that merchants will risk their lives. As long as there is no mistake in taxation, the treasury will be full or even overflow with money in three to five years.

After listening to his brother's explanation, Zhao Mingyu hurriedly pointed to himself and said, "The court is not free, that's okay, brother, I'm still free, I'm free, I'll go to Brother Nine, Brother Nine will definitely not ignore me."

Brother Nine has power at the seaside, so he goes to join Brother Nine, and the brothers work together to cut off money, and it is no problem to deal with mere pirates.

"Really want to go?" Zhao Mingning looked at the excited baby brother, thinking that it would not be dangerous for him to go out and have someone to look after him, so he nodded and said, "The princes of various places are already on their way to Beijing, and Mingyue will also come. Discuss this."

He has kept people for too long, and if he doesn't let his precious brother leave the palace, those old-fashioned ministers will really crash to death at the gate of Wende Palace.

According to the ancestral system, there is no prince who is so old and still lives in the palace. Even if he stays in the capital, he must go out of the palace to build a mansion. Stay by your side.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he will be able to take charge of himself in a few years. He can't always protect people under his wings. If one day he is gone, this kid must be able to protect himself.

There were no outsiders in the imperial study room. Zhao Mingning looked at his precious brother whose thoughts had already flown to nowhere, rubbed his head and asked sullenly, "Is it so good outside?"

"Ah?" Zhao Mingyu didn't know why his brother would ask this question. He felt that the atmosphere was not right now. He was afraid that the fragile brother would feel that his dear brother's wings were stiff and he would fly away. He tensed up and said quickly, "That's the same thing Come on, a child with a brother is like a treasure, a child without a brother is like a grass, wherever the brother is, that is the best place."

Zhao Mingning patted the little head that came closer, sighed and said, "In the future, what should you do if you are bullied outside without your brother by your side?"

His well-behaved and lovely younger brother had a hard time growing up, and he had to be separated from his elder brother due to the rules. Last time he was asked to go to the south of the Yangtze River by himself, he was already worried, and now he has to go to a farther place. Don't worry?

Zhao Mingyu listened to his brother's babble in a daze, and felt that it was better for him to shut up.

He was not alone when he went to Jiangnan. Before leaving the capital, his elder brother dragged the Hua family elder brother who was an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs from day to night, and almost tossed an elder brother with several younger brothers into doubting his life.

Moreover, he doesn't think anyone would dare to bully him. The little prince's reputation as a bully in the capital is not in vain. He is thankful for not taking the initiative to bully others. Who would dare to come to bully him?

But now, looking at his elder brother who looks like a little daughter-in-law who is afraid of being abandoned, the little prince skillfully patted him on the back and began to comfort him. As a man, there are always a few days a month when he is emotionally sensitive and worrying about gains and losses. Fortunately, he is a sensible man. My younger brother, or how can I say it is my brother's intimate little cotton trousers.

Xiao Miankuo is very skilled in dealing with such situations. When his brother felt sorry for himself and felt that the world was gloomy and the future was hopeless, he grabbed the gap and began to lead him to imagine what would happen after the treasury was filled with money.

They drove Xixia to the desert today, and drove the army to Liao Kingdom tomorrow. After recapturing the Sixteen States of Yanyun, they began to wipe out the pirates. What awaited them was not only the land, but also the sea.

What the hell. It's a trivial matter to them.

As an emperor who has an inexplicable obsession with leaving a virtuous name in the history books, Zhao Mingning has no resistance to the above description. Just now, the young man was shrouded in gloom. Sighed, "Ming Yu~"

Zhao Mingyu looked at the inexplicable brother who was smiling, rubbed his goose bumped arm and replied, "Here you are, brother, what's the matter?"

Zhao Mingning smiled even more gently, "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that my brother will be an emperor who will be famous forever in the future, you should be careful, don't hold back my brother."

Zhao Mingyu: ...

The little prince looked indifferently at his brother who felt good about himself, he turned around and left with one glance, knowing that he would be like this after being coaxed, and he would leave his name through the ages, so capable and capable of making money from the treasury by himself.

We brothers!Who is the one holding back!Can you fucking meow have a clear understanding? !

Self-knowledge is a good thing, I hope you can have it too!

Zhao Mingning watched his little ancestor walk away, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, the vassal king entered the capital, Cai Jing rebelled, and now it was a troubled time, he really couldn't spare any energy to manage the maritime trade.

On his birthday, there will be a banquet in the palace. When the feudal princes and officials gather, the excitement will be lively, and the chaos will be real chaos. If Cai Jing is ready to rebel, the palace will not be safe.

Cai Jing knew the position of the little ancestor in his heart, if he accidentally got his hands on him, with the violent temper of the little ancestor, Cai Jing might be so angry that he would kill him directly.

No matter how much money you have, you have to spend it with your life. The capital is too dangerous, so you have to get people away in advance.

"Send a letter to let Prince Taiping's son enter Beijing in advance."

Bianjing City, Caijing Mansion.

The secluded courtyard does not look like the prime minister's mansion, but more like a separate courtyard for literati and refined scholars to gather together. In the secret room, Cai Xiang, who has power over the government and the public, looks gloomy, looking at the bearded man standing next to the bookshelf and whispering, " The six gates have already noticed something, and we must do it as soon as possible, the Liao envoy wrote a letter to ask for an audience, thinking that the emperor congratulated the birthday, and asked for an audience, the day of the palace banquet is the time for us to do it."

"After the matter is completed, Prime Minister Cai, don't forget about the deal between the two countries." The tone of the hoarse voice was a bit strange, and the bearded man just stood there and couldn't see anything, and he directly revealed his identity when he opened his mouth.

He is not from Song, but from Liao.

Cai Jing has been planning for many years, he dares to do something at the palace banquet, he is naturally very sure, the vassal kings from all over the country will be there at that time, and King Taiping has military power in his hands, as long as the crime of treason is pushed on him, and then the people at the banquet Kill him cleanly, and then let his subordinates spread the news among the people, no one will know that he is the one who really rebelled.

The bearded man hides in the shadow of the bookshelf, looking forward to the upcoming palace banquet. He is not the envoy of the Liao Kingdom in Bianjing, but the subordinate of Xiao Fengxian, the privy envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, Xiao Fengxian couldn't wait to gain the trust of the new emperor, he cooperated with Cai Jing, and when King Taiping died in Bianjing, the army of the Liao Kingdom entered the Song Dynasty as if no one was there, and at least five more states could be captured territory.

With such a big victory, no one in the court can compete with him again.

The candles in the secret room were on and off, and the two discussed specific actions for a long time. They only waited for the day of the palace banquet to arrive. In the past, Tai Zu was dressed in a yellow robe surrounded by soldiers, and now Cai Jing was elected emperor by the courtiers. Isn't it beautiful.

The capital city is still bustling and bustling, with street vendors coming and going, restaurants and shops gathering customers and business is booming, and the palace is also in full swing for the upcoming emperor's birthday.

Zhao Mingyu didn't know that the dark waves were turbulent in private, and after learning that Prince Taiping's son had entered the capital ahead of schedule, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace and ran over in a hurry.

On the palace gate avenue, a young man who was somewhat similar to Zhao Mingning followed the eunuch leading the way towards the imperial study, unhurriedly. When he saw the little ancestor running towards him from a distance, he would cover his ears when his expression changed.

However, it was too late, the sound came faster than his movements.

Zhao Mingyu looked at his long-lost rich cousin, and started shouting all the way, "Ninth Brother! Ninth Brother! Brother Mingyue, wait for me~~~"
