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

"No deal! No deal!"

"You don't have a bun, but you have your life!"

"If you dare to steal my steamed bun, I will fight you to the death!"

Prince Lu couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this.

"Not really! Not really! This meal was arranged by His Majesty, and I dare not mess around... Don't you agree?"

"I don't have the guts to steal anything here. I just want to discuss something with you. Can we talk nicely?"

King Zhao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what he said.

"If you don't fight over the steamed buns, everything will be fine."

This scene between the two was seen by Prince Lu who was sitting next door, and he laughed like crazy.

He pointed at the two of them and laughed, "Two poor bastards are fighting over steamed buns. Hahaha! Hahaha!"

The King of Lu didn't care, but the King of Zhao was embarrassed.

"What are you laughing at, Zhu Changxun? There will be a day when you can't laugh anymore. Wait for it!"

After saying that, Lian Li didn't even take King Li Lu with him. He went straight into the house and closed the door with a bang.

King Lu had no choice but to speak closer to his door.

"King Zhao, can we finally talk properly now?"

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!"

King Zhao really couldn't understand what King Lu was doing and why he was so persistent, so he listened to King Lu talking outside.

"It's like this. Isn't your fiefdom the closest to Taiyuan? Can you lend me a million or eight hundred thousand taels of silver and send it to Taiyuan for disaster relief? When things are done here, I will pay you back with interest, okay?"

King Lu spoke sincerely and in a gentle manner.

But to King Zhao, it was no less than someone directly telling him that they were going to stab him in the ass!

This prince was counting on sending this little fortune to Taiyuan to turn the tables!

You are actually licking my face and trying to cut off my power!

next moment.

A roar erupted from King Zhao’s thatched cottage.

It was as if a force 10 typhoon could blow Prince Lu's face like waves, making it unbearable for him.

"roll!!!"

Not only did the King of Lu get a cold shoulder, but he also seemed to be stepped on by a horse's hoof in the face. Who could bear that?

He was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"Good! Good! Good! You are noble! You are amazing! I just don't believe it. Without you, Zhu Chang?, I won't be able to eat steamed buns!"

After saying that, he kicked Zhu Chang's door and left angrily.

In a blink of an eye, he went angrily to find the chief official of his palace to give orders.

"Go, set off immediately and return to Yanzhou as quickly as possible!"

"Load eighty carts of gold, silver and jewels and send them to Taiyuan!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! It has to be fast! No matter what the cost, it must be delivered as quickly as possible!"

Prince Lu was really angry.

He really couldn't swallow this anger, and he didn't want to swallow it.

Isn’t it just gold, silver and jewelry?

Who the hell hasn’t had it yet!

The reason I'm asking you, King Zhao, to borrow money is because you live close by and I want to give you face.

You are pretending to be like this with me!

I want to see whether you, the King of Zhao, have more money or I, the King of Lu, have more money!

Here, Prince Lu was still furious.

Inside the thatched cottage, King Zhao thought about his reaction just now and felt that it was indeed a bit too much.

However, there is nothing to mourn.

I don't rely on Zhu Shouhong for my livelihood, so why should I care about him?

After eating the steamed bun, I went to sleep.

When I woke up, it was almost evening. I sat at the door and chatted with King Shen again. My life was still leisurely and comfortable.

But Prince Lu would glare at him fiercely every now and then when he passed by the house.

There is nothing to say. Anyway, eyes can't kill people. I will just ignore it! Ignore it!

The subtle relationship between the two continued like this, and soon it was time for dinner in the evening.

Those who have meat to eat are looking forward to feasting on it again.

Those who don’t have meat to eat are also looking forward to having rice.

After all, man is iron and rice is steel. Whether there is meat or not, you will be hungry if you skip a meal!

Just when everyone was looking forward to it,

Under the setting sun in the southern sky, there was the most beautiful scenery that King Zhao and King Shen had ever seen.

That is the flag of their palace flying.

The transport convoy that they had been waiting for with their necks stretched out finally arrived.

It was such a coincidence that we arrived at the same time.

Seeing the flags on each other's palaces, the two princes realized that they had been secretly hiding something from each other and ordered money and food to be sent to Taiyuan.

The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

They said it in unison.

"What a coincidence!"

Chapter 416: A large number of troops are heading towards Taiyuan City

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the long convoy gradually gathered together and stopped. At a glance, it seemed endless and there was no end in sight.

The dust raised by the car running along the way, under the setting sun, looked like the glow emanating from a giant dragon, extremely dazzling.

It attracted the attention of all the victims and princes outside the South Gate.

After Zhen Beiwang went up to interrogate, he immediately reported to Changchun Palace.

"Your Majesty, we have received a large amount of gold and silver from Prince Zhao and Prince Shen. The convoy has arrived outside the South Gate and is waiting for orders. This is the list of gifts from the two princes."

After that, he respectfully presented two lists.

"What! These two princes are so aware!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he was immediately cheered up.

Seeing Wei Zhongxian taking the list from Zhen Beiwang and about to hand it over to him, he couldn't help but speak curiously.

"Read the list to me. I want to hear how much you two are willing to give out this time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian slowly unfolded the list.

"List of offerings from the Zhao Palace:

Fifty carts of gold and silver, amounting to two million one hundred thousand ounces of silver;

List of tributes from Prince Shen's Mansion:

Sixty carts of gold and silver, totaling two million and a half ounces of silver."

Zhu Youxiao was greatly surprised when he heard this: "Fifty vehicles can hold so much?"

Zhen Beiwang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the two princes were transported in a two-horse carriage, each of which can carry 4,000 kilograms."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao did the math and found that it was about the same.

Of the fifty carriages that Prince Lu had before, as well as jewelry, clothing and other items, only a part of them was used to store gold and silver. No wonder there were only more than one million.

"I see!"

In fact, he had no idea that the things finally sent to Taiyuan were not the original plan of the two princes.

At first they thought of giving each a portion of gold and silver and of grain.

But when they thought about the millions of shi of grain donated by the King of Jin, and their dozens of carts could only carry a few hundred or a few thousand shi, it did not show much sincerity.

He was so stimulated by Prince Lu that he finally raised the stakes, filled his bag with gold and silver, and did not bring any food so that he could travel faster.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know this, but he was very curious.

"Didn't Prince Zhao and Prince Shen come here without any money? How could there be such a sudden change?"

Zhen Beiwang thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this matter may have something to do with Prince Lu..."

After listening to him about what happened between the three kings, Zhu Youxiao exclaimed in his heart, what a guy.

It turns out you can still do it this way!

I only give extra meals to certain people based on my mood, but I didn't expect that the three of them would come up with such a way to make money!

Miao Miao Miao!

"Zhen Beiwang stays here, and the others go out first."

Wei Zhongxian and others came out and waited, and soon Zhen Beiwang went out and left in a hurry.

Soon Wang Chengen received the imperial message conveyed by Zhen Beiwang, and was deeply impressed.

It was only a few days after I took over Prince Lu's property that two more princes came to give me money...

Your Majesty's efficiency in making money is truly unmatched in the world!

After instructing his men to count and receive the gold and silver, he came to the thatched cottage area, called out Prince Zhao and Prince Shen, then cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Now there is the King of Zhao, who is extremely benevolent and kind, and who cares for the people... and shows his virtue."

He spoke passionately and recounted the stories of King Zhao and King Shen in donating silver and the specific amounts.

Everyone around could hear it clearly.

"Oh my God! More than two million taels, that's a lot of silver!"

The victims were all stunned by the astronomical amount of silver, and at the same time they were moved by the princes' selfless dedication to helping the victims.

"Thank you, King Zhao, for your kindness!"

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

......

The disaster victims once again shouted and knelt in gratitude.

After Wang Chengen finished his announcement, he specifically spoke to the second king.

"You two princes are so considerate of the people and wholeheartedly serve the country. His Majesty is very pleased. He said that he will take you two princes into consideration when writing the edict of succession."

Upon hearing this, King Zhao and the other two were secretly delighted.

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Father-in-law, walk slowly."

The two men saw Wang Chengen off and ran back to their own hut, excitedly waiting for dinner.

"It's time for dinner, my lords, you may start eating."

Soon, dinner was distributed to each prince's small wooden table.

Prince Zhao and Prince Shen were both excited but a little nervous at the moment, fearing that the dinner would not be good this time.
