Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Prince Lu recognized him immediately and said arrogantly: "I am Prince Lu, I came here at the royal decree, how dare you stop me!"

"This is an important epidemic area, and you are not allowed to enter without permission. Your Majesty, please wait for a moment while I report to His Majesty and make arrangements."

After the Jinyiwei said this, he turned around and ran into the city.

After a while, in the bedroom of Changchun Palace.

Liu Yue was helping Zhu Youxiao drink medicine.

Zhen Beiwang came forward to report.

"Your Majesty, Prince Lu has arrived."

"Are you here alone again?" Zhu Youxiao asked pretending to be weak.

The main reason for this question is that King Shen and King Zhao both came alone.

Zhen Beiwang had a strange expression on his face and replied, "He is not alone. He brought more than 100 people from his entire clan with him, and..."

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised. Why did they bring the whole family with them? What was going on?

"What else?"

"There are also forty or fifty vehicles filled with jewelry, gold, silver and other things. I think Prince Lu has moved all his belongings here."

“What! Cough cough cough... cough cough cough...”

Zhu Youxiao was drinking medicine and choked when he heard this.

That cough was really a pleasant surprise.

Chapter 408 Prince Lu’s Benevolence

Zhu Youxiao was coughing, but he was very happy in his heart.

It would have been troublesome for us to go to your fiefdoms one by one and search your properties.

Good guy!

Prince Lu delivered his belongings directly to the door. He is so considerate!

Since you are here, why do you bring any gifts? And you are so polite to me.

Zhu Youxiao was so happy that he could not stop laughing, but his cough scared Liu Yue.

"His Majesty!"

She quickly stepped forward and patted him on the back, while giving Zhen Bei a fierce look.

"Admiral Zhen, His Majesty is in poor health and should not be excited. How could you provoke him like this!"

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" Zhen Beiwang quickly knelt down and begged for his crime.

Yutong, who was standing next to him, also had eyes as sharp as knives, staring at him with anger.

If looks could kill, he would have been killed a thousand times by Yutong just now.

"No... Never mind his business... I don't have much time left... I have important matters to deal with... You two should leave first..."

After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Liu Yue felt even more heartbroken.

"His Majesty......"

Zhu Youxiao just waved his hands with difficulty, and Liu Yue and Youtong could only leave the bedroom helplessly.

After a while, Zhen Beiwang also came out of the bedroom.

Before leaving Prince Jin's Mansion, he also took Wang Chengen and others with him.

"Master Zhen, where are you taking me?"

Wang Chengen is now confused.

Ever since he received the order in the capital to accompany the king, he was not summoned when he arrived in Taiyuan. How could he not be confused?

Zhen Beiwang smiled and said, "Eunuch Wang, isn't your West Factory responsible for money and grain? Naturally, you are asked to collect money for His Majesty."

"No... Taiyuan is suffering from a plague. Your Majesty has also taken over the property of the King of Jin. Where can you get the money to buy more?"

When he first arrived at the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Youtong handed over the IOU from the Ministry of Revenue to him according to old custom, so he had some understanding of the things going on in Taiyuan.

Zhen Beiwang just smiled mysteriously: "Once we get to the place, Lord Wang will know it naturally."

Got it!

Saying it means not saying it.

Wang Chengen had no choice but to follow Zhen Beiwang out of the South Gate.

Not far outside the South Gate, Prince Lu, who was stopped, was a little tired of waiting and simply sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

More than twenty riders rushed out of the city and stopped in front of him, raising a cloud of dust that choked him.

"Ahem! Ahem! Who the hell is this, so bold as to make me eat dirt?"

Prince Lu got up from the ground cursing.

Zhen Beiwang had followed Zhu Youxiao for so long that he was already familiar with his attitude towards these vassal kings, and he didn't care about Prince Lu's attitude.

"Uh-huh!!!"

He reined in his horse and jumped off to reveal his identity: "I am the commander of the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei, looking north!"

When Prince Lu heard him reveal his identity, he didn't care.

So what if he is the governor of the Northern Pacification Division?

Just a small fourth-rank official.

I am a prince, even the cabinet ministers and the six ministers have to be polite when they meet me.

"How dare you, a mere admiral, look down upon me! Believe it or not, I will report you and have His Majesty remove you from your post!"

Zhen Beiwang looked indifferent: "If the prince is willing, I will report it."

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me enter the city now!"

Zhen Beiwang said seriously: "Your Highness should probably know that there is a plague in Taiyuan City right now. His Majesty has arranged a new place for you to stay in order to protect your health."

In fact, when Prince Lu was waiting just now, he was a little worried about the epidemic. Now he heard that the emperor had specially arranged a safe accommodation, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He swung his sleeves violently and said with a straight face.

"Humph, why don't you take me there quickly?"

"Also, I have a lot of stuff with me, so it's best to arrange it all at once!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Beiwang looked at the carriages behind him, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just when Prince Lu was about to get impatient, he suddenly started shouting at the top of his voice.

"Prince Lu is kind and charitable, and sympathizes with the victims. He presented fifty carts of gold and silver to the court for disaster relief. Your Majesty highly praises Prince Lu's benevolence and will personally write this matter and engrave it on a stone tablet in the Taiyuan Confucian Temple to honor his virtue!"

After Zhen Beiwang finished speaking, he bowed to Prince Lu and said, "I am Jinyiwei Commander Zhen Beiwang. On behalf of your majesty and the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi, I would like to thank Prince Lu for his kindness!"

Prince Lu was completely stunned.

What's going on here?

Didn’t we agree to come here to choose the new emperor?

I came here specially to escape disaster, how come it suddenly becomes like offering my wealth as a gift?

This is wrong!

"This...this, this, this...is not...I didn't ask for it..."

But Zhen Beiwang's words had already been clearly heard by the surrounding victims.

Upon hearing that more relief supplies were arriving, they stopped, knelt on their knees, and expressed their most sincere gratitude to Prince Lu.

"Thank you, Prince Lu, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Prince Lu, for your kindness!"

"........."

Prince Lu’s protest was instantly drowned out by the roar of the mountain.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Prince Lu’s eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

Zhen Beiwang took two steps forward, leaned close to Prince Lu's ear and smiled.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said that he is very satisfied with your dedication to the country and the people!"

"When all the kings gather, your Highness will be considered first when the edict of succession is issued."

After saying that, he waved his hand to the people behind him.

"Come here, help Supervisor Wang to receive the tribute from Prince Lu's Palace!"

Wang Chengen watched it from beginning to end and had only two words in his mind.

What the hell!

Compared to your majesty's way of making money, the Western Factory is simply inferior!

Seeing that the Jinyiwei had already started to take action, he quickly called his men forward.

"Shui Hedong, Ding Xiu, get to work!"

"Yes, sir!" Shui Hedong and the other man responded to the order and led the men, rushing towards the vehicles excitedly.

The Jinyiwei all drew their swords, who in Prince Lu's mansion dared to resist?

His descendants had no idea what had happened and why their father was willing to donate all his property to the court, but they dared not say anything.

After a while, fifty trucks were taken away by Wang Chengen and others, leaving only a hundred people from Prince Lu's lineage behind, at a loss as to what to do.

"My Lord, what should we do next?"

He had not come to his senses until Princess Lu bravely stepped forward and helped Prince Lu up.

Zhen Beiwang kindly ordered: "Come here, send Prince Lu to his residence!"

Immediately, a flag officer of the Imperial Guard stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please!"

Supported by the princess, Zhu Changxun followed in a daze, with hundreds of clansmen in gorgeous clothes dragging behind him.

In this way, Zhu Changxun was brought by the small flag officer to rows of thatched houses.

The flag officer stopped and pointed at the thatched cottage.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at your residence."

When Zhu Changxun heard the flag officer say that this was the residence arranged by the emperor for him, he felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him. He came to his senses in an instant and pointed at the thatched house with trembling hands.

"This... this is the residence that His Majesty arranged for me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

This young flag officer was not at all timid and seemed to be used to it, he even joked.

"These huts can only accommodate one person. Since you came early, you can pick a good one. Your Majesty, please choose one yourself."

When Princess Lu heard this, she was stunned.

"Only one person can stay here! What about us?"

"You? Haha!" The flag officer sneered, "Just go to the resettlement area and live with the disaster victims!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and ten Jinyiwei took Princess Lu away and took the other people from Prince Lu's Mansion to the resettlement area.

Zhu Changxun still cannot accept the reality that he suddenly has nothing and has to live in a thatched hut.

He pointed at the hut angrily, trembling all over.

"This! How can people live here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people coming out of the thatched hut next to him.

He was wearing the same prince's robe as himself.
