Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 265: Millions of People Slaughter Gongsun Qi

Zhu Zhanjun suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.

The murderous aura was so strong that he had been on countless battlefields and had been frightened by it so much that cold sweats broke out on his back. It showed how terrifying that man was.

"Your Highness, you are awake."

A soft voice came over, accompanied by a fragrant breeze.

Zhu Zhanjun looked up and saw the Crown Prince's Concubine Wang walking towards him.

Wang was specially selected by Zhu Zhanjun. She caught his eye together with Huo Wenxiu. However, Huo Wenxiu was the Crown Prince's Consort, while the other was a concubine.

Wang's appearance was the best among all the beauties, she had a charming figure and a hint of charm in her bones.

In the words of my mother Zhang, this is a vixen who is born to suck people's marrow.

If Zhang hadn't known that Zhu Zhanjun could control himself and wouldn't become obsessed with it, she would never have agreed to Wang's selection.

"Have some tea first, and then go back to the temple."

Wang, who was wearing a gauze dress, handed a cup of tea to Zhu Zhanjun.

It's warm to the touch, and the temperature is just right.

"Has the party ended?"

After taking a sip, Zhu Zhanjun asked about the situation in the banquet hall.

"not yet."

Wang, who had already sat behind Zhu Zhanjun, gently pressed his shoulders with her soft little hands to relieve his fatigue.

"My mother asked me to come back and serve you first, saying that if you wake up, you can go over to see me before you go. His Majesty plans to stay up all night tonight to watch over the little prince's first birthday."

Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand, "I understand. I'm a little tired. I won't go. Let's take a rest."

A hint of joy flashed in Wang's eyes, and she winked at the maid beside her, who obediently lit the aphrodisiac incense.

Just as she was preparing for her next step, a notification came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Brother Xiaohu is back."

Zhu Zhanjun, who had just laid back on the bed and was about to rest, sat up again.

"This brat finally decided to come back."

Zhu Zhanjun laughed and cursed, then got off the bed, casually put on some clothes, and walked out.

Wang, who was filled with joy, stamped her feet in anger as she watched Zhu Zhanjun leave without even looking back.

It was finally her turn, but she was interrupted again.

The last time it was her turn, the little prince came back, and Zhu Zhanjun was anxious to see the child so he went straight to Huo Wenxiu.

The last time, she had just finished washing and dressing up, and for some reason, Zhu Zhanjun left in a hurry.

The last time before that, she had just finished washing and dressing herself up, ready to enjoy the grace happily, but the Crown Prince was summoned away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who said he had something to discuss.

It's been a month and she hasn't had a single chance. How can she not be angry?

Zhu Zhanjun, unaware of Wang's depression, quickly came to the living room.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a little tiger wearing a tiger skin coat, lying next to the electric light and looking at it curiously.

Zhu Zhanjun stepped forward and kicked him in the butt, and Xiaohu cried out in pain.

Zhu Zhanjun scolded angrily: "I told you to come back early, it's been a long time, tell me yourself."

Xiao Hu laughed dryly and scratched his head, saying shamelessly: "You can't blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Guo Gang. I wanted to come back earlier, but he insisted that he couldn't handle it alone and asked me to help him look after it."

"Well, if my mother hadn't written to me, asking me to come back and get married, he wouldn't have planned to let me come back."

"Look, I just came back. I didn't even go home, but I came to see you, Your Highness."

Looking at the other person's tanned face, Zhu Zhanjun snorted coldly and gave up.

"how is the situation?"

The other party stayed in Malacca and was responsible for establishing the Malacca checkpoint.

Later, when Zheng He returned, Xiaohu rushed back on the other side's ship, but did not return to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, he stayed in the Qiongzhou military port to help Guo Gang stabilize the situation in the South China Sea.

During this period, Zhu Zhanjun did not remove the other party's road tax officer from his post, so the taxes collected in Malacca were not transported to the capital, but to Qiongzhou.

It is managed by the Navy Department and used to purchase ships, recruit personnel, and repair equipment.

There were his own people watching over there, and with the loyalty of Xiaohu and the others, Zhu Zhanjun felt at ease, so he seldom asked questions.

Now that Xiaohu is back and has nothing else to do, he wants to hear about the situation over there.

"The pirates have been almost wiped out, and the remaining small fry dare not jump out."

"There are a large number of ships from Jiangnan going overseas every year, and the taxes we collect every year are as high as more than 600 million taels."

"There were also some who relied on their status and didn't want to give it, but when our navy pointed a cannon at their heads, they just obeyed obediently."

Thinking of those troublemakers, Xiaohu grinned.

If you want to show off your status in front of their navy, no vassal king will be able to do anything except Your Majesty and the Crown Prince.

Zhu Zhanjun knew some of these things.

King Ning Zhu Quan wanted to rely on his status to interfere in maritime trade, and even when it came to taxes, he didn't want to pay a penny.

The navy didn't give any face at all and pointed the gun directly at the forehead of Ning Wang's steward, either take the money or take your life.

Under the threat of death, the other party chose to compromise, but King Ning took this opportunity to impeach the navy, saying that the navy was rampant and ignoring the court.

As a result, not only did the old man not do anything to the navy, but he called Prince Ning to Nanjing and criticized him severely.

Since then, the Jiangnan clan has been obedient. Even Prince Ning was criticized to pieces. Others probably won't have a good ending. "More than 600 million taels, not bad."

Hearing this data, Zhu Zhanjun nodded with satisfaction.

Today's trade has not yet reached the prosperity of the Second World, and an annual income of more than 600 million taels is already a considerable income.

"By the way, Your Highness, I found a capable person on the road and brought him back to you. He is waiting outside the palace now."

After finishing the report, Xiaohu thought of the person left outside the door, and hurriedly flattered Zhu Zhanjun.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at the little tiger in surprise. This silly guy actually knew to pay attention to talents for him.

Zhu Zhanjun became interested and said with a smile, "Okay, since General Xiaohu recommended him, I have to meet him anyway. Let him in."

"Hey, Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and call him."

Xiaohu responded excitedly, turned around and ran out the door.

No one in the palace stopped him. Xiaohu was Zhu Zhanjun's personal bodyguard, and everyone knew him.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister and the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are more powerful than those of the third or fourth-rank officials.

Thinking that Xiaohu had rushed back overnight and might not have had dinner yet, and tonight was New Year's Eve, Zhu Zhanjun had someone prepare a table of wine and food, intending to eat with Xiaohu later.

After a while, Xiaohu came in with someone.

The man who came had a tall and straight figure. Although he was wearing coarse cloth, it could not conceal the terrifying aura on his body at all.

More importantly, Zhu Zhanjun had seen this person before, and had just met him.

"Your Highness, this is the man I was talking about."

"Husband, come and meet His Highness."

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this name, Zhu Zhanjun was choked by his saliva.

The man in coarse cloth with a calm expression also looked at Xiaohu helplessly.

"Gongsun is not Gong."

Xiaohu scratched his head and said puzzledly: "There is no difference."

The two men looked at Xiaohu helplessly. The man in coarse cloth with a calm expression stepped forward and performed the master-servant salute to Zhu Zhanjun.

"Gongsun Qi, I pay my respects to His Highness."

"hiss!"

Zhu Zhanjun felt as if he was walking on the street and picked up a scratch-off ticket that someone had thrown away, and was surprised to win 1 billion yuan from it.

Gongsun Qi, this name may be unfamiliar to some people.

Speaking of another one, there is an existence that everyone in the history of Yanhuang has heard of, from 80-year-old people to 8-year-old children.

People are slaughtered in vain.

Bai Qi, the number of people he killed in his lifetime could reach over a million.

In that period, killing a million enemies was a huge concept.

"Please get up quickly."

Zhu Zhanjun took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in his heart, stepped forward and helped the other person up.

After helping Gongsun Qi up, Zhu Zhanjun looked him up and down. His handsome face and subtle aura directly added points to the opponent.

Thinking of the other party's achievements, Zhu Zhanjun felt so happy.

Just as he was about to conquer those three ungrateful bastards, the space here sent Bai Qi over.

Bai Qi and Jia Xu are the perfect combination to conquer these three countries.

At that time, he wouldn't have to do anything but follow and watch the two perform.

In fact, Zhu Zhanjun didn't have to go. Any one of these two guys could easily defeat these three ungrateful bastards with one hand.

But Zhu Zhanjun was too curious and wanted to see how far the two could go if they joined forces.

After confirming their identities, Zhu Zhanjun was overjoyed and enthusiastically invited the two to take a seat. After the food and wine were served, they clinked glasses, ate, drank and chatted.

It was almost dawn when Zhu Zhanjun let the two go back.

He was not worried about accommodation. The Veterans' Chamber of Commerce had a hotel specifically for reception. With Xiaohu and Gongsun Qi here, they would definitely be able to stay in the most luxurious one.

After this simple conversation during the meal, Zhu Zhanjun also had some understanding of Gongsun Qi's character.

He is a calm and taciturn person. He will listen to you calmly most of the time, but when faced with questions, he will give the most accurate answers and state his reasons and analysis.

Every item is clear and concise, and the pros and cons are fully laid out in front of you.

To be honest, it is the most relaxing and enjoyable to get along with such people.

You don't need to spend a lot of time persuading such people to follow your opinions. In addition, they can complement your ideas and make them as perfect as possible.

When Zhu Zhanjun proposed the idea of ​​conquering the three kingdoms, Bai Qi simply listened to the three countries' initials and deductions and decided to wipe them out completely.

In Bai Qi's words, such a small country would only cause trouble if it were kept. It should be eradicated as soon as possible while the situation is chaotic, to eliminate the troubles around the Ming Dynasty, unite the overall strength and deal with the invasion of major Western forces.

The other party had the same idea as himself, and Zhu Zhanjun felt like he had found a confidant. If he hadn't considered that the other party had traveled for such a long time and had not had a good rest, Zhu Zhanjun really wanted to chat with him for three days and three nights.

In a happy mood, the drunk Zhu Zhanjun staggered back to Wang's room.

Zhu Zhanjun stopped the maid who was about to wake up Wang, threw off his boots, and crawled into the warm and fragrant bed reeking of alcohol.
