The Ten Princes' Mansion is the place where the royal family is kept in captivity, and the adult princes and princesses will move in, and once they enter that place, there are eyes everywhere, which is not much better than being in prison.
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly waved his hand, paused for a while, and then exhaled: "King Hui is still young, and the queen is reluctant."
Believe in the king, I can still trust it. ” Sun Chengzong is also clear about the emperor's thoughts, in his opinion, these two princes are only afraid that they will have no hope of becoming a vassal in this life, first they are confined in the palace, and when they become adults, they are afraid that they will still be placed under house arrest somewhere in the Forbidden City until they are old.
Although he regretted the talent of King Hui, he was more concerned about the stability of the royal family, and followed Zhu Youxiao's words: "What the emperor said is very true.
Well, does the emperor have any plans for Liaodong?
” Zhu Youxiao held his cane in both hands, stretched his neck, and said, "In the court meeting, it is recommended that Gao Di go." ” Sun Chengzong's brows moved, Zhu Youxiao said this, he was afraid that his mind would be difficult to change, so he thought about it for a while and said: "The minister recommended Yuan Chonghuan to be the governor." ” "Yuan Chonghuan?"
Zhu Youxiao's eyes were slightly different, he turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong, lowered his eyebrows and groaned for a while, and said, "Well, I will think about it." ” Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Youxiao's uncertain answer, and opened his mouth to say more, but in the end he swallowed back.
When it came to the appointment of the governor of Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao did not have enough courage to make an arbitrary decision, nor did he have the courage to bear the consequences, and in the end he had to discuss it at the top of the court meeting.
Now the situation is chaotic, friends are prevalent, and you are good at cultivating private people.
Once it is in court, then everything is unpredictable.
It stands to reason that the end of the year should be stopped, and the New Year should be celebrated with peace of mind, forgetting about this year's troubles, and looking forward to next year's restart.
However, Wei Zhongxian was imprisoned for a long time, the impeachment of the Donglin Party and Qingliu became louder and louder, and neutral people gradually joined, and every court meeting almost made this matter the most important thing.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear the pressure, and removed Wei Zhongxian from all the positions of the commander of the East Factory and the chief celebrant supervisor, and at the same time, he also ordered Dali Temple to try the theoretical crime.
Xu Zhiji, the secretary of Dali Temple, is Wei Zhongxian's henchman, and Zhu Youxiao personally hinted that Wei Zhongxian was directly sentenced to ten major crimes and imprisoned for ten years!
This kind of culpability is obviously light, and the Donglin Party wants to use this to clean up the eunuch party henchmen, but Zhu Guozhen, who is still the auxiliary, tried his best to reconcile, Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui muddy the water, and the negative treatment of Donglin military bigwigs Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, this matter had a reluctant end at the end of the year.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Youxiao did not call the 'family' for dinner again because he fell ill again.
Yao Qingqing went to Bifu, Cao Wenzhao has a family in the capital, even Cao Huachun has a few nephews as his home, and the huge Jinghuan Palace, except for some palace maids sent by Empress Zhang, only the lonely His Royal Highness King Hui remains.
Sitting in the study, Zhu Xu boredly flipped through the New Year's letters of Zhou Yingqiu and others, as well as Ni Wenhuan and Wang Shaohui's letters of plea, just glanced at it, and he threw it aside boredly.
"It's been a bad year......
Zhu Xu sighed, took out the account book, and prepared to use silver to dilute the emptiness, loneliness and coldness in his heart.
The account books are all sorted out by Fu Tao, and each one is written neatly and standardly according to his requirements, and there is a basis for coming and going.
After more than a year of expansion, in addition to the head office in the capital, Huitong Commercial Bank has 20 branches from south to north, from Fu and Jian in the south to the mountains and west in the north, and branches have been set up in important places.
Thanks to the Huiyun Shipping Company and the Huimin Chamber of Commerce, there are more than 20 million taels of cash alone, and the profit is more than 2 million taels.
This is still unfamiliar with the business, and because it has just begun, once it matures, the profit will grow on a rolling basis!
Huimin Chamber of Commerce, pasta is still a weapon to open channels, but the profit is meager, the most important profit is from the east of the city workshop far away from the glassware, matches, soap these things, preliminary accounting, profit of more than 500,000 taels.
Huiyun shipping line has a strong policy monopoly, and the goods from the south to the north, various additional costs, and the profit has exceeded 300,000 taels.
The most important thing is the sale of illicit salt, Zhu Zonghan does have the means, Houjin's salt market is almost monopolized by him alone, although Houjin also mobilizes salt from everywhere to stabilize the high price, but it is either from Mongolia, ancient times, or from the dynasty and Xian, with little effect.
Judging from the account books, the cash recovered alone has exceeded five million taels!
Such a good deal, plus other scattered things, this year's income will definitely be more than 10 million taels!
He picked up a brush and wrote the big words '10 million' on the white paper, and after looking at it for a long time, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Listening to it, the firecrackers outside the palace rumbled, mixed with laughter, Zhu Xu put down the pen, tapped his fingers on the table, and said to himself, "It should be possible to give a part to the court, but how should it be given......
Thinking of Zhu Xu, he was worried, the Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue was only 2.5 million taels, if he gave too much, it would attract attention, and if he gave less, it would not work.
Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, squinted and thought, and fell asleep after thinking about it.
I don't know why, he became a beautiful boy in his dream, shuttling alone in the Lantern Festival, shuttling through the sea of lights, and vaguely saw a fair lady with a maid guessing lantern riddles.
Without waiting for careful, the scene changed, and he appeared on the Qinhuai River again, watching the flower boats rippling by, he slapped his big hand, and went out with thousands of taels of silver, holding a charming and amorous woman as an oiran.
After that, he lifted the curtain and walked into the boudoir, surrounded by fragrant clouds, and faintly heard in his ears "Your Highness, wake up, Your Highness ......" raised his hand in a trance, only to hear a snap, and woke up violently.
Zhu Xu sat on the chair and looked straight ahead, and the oil lamp suddenly jumped not far away.
After a long time, he woke up, touched his face, then wiped his saliva, looked at his eyes, and sighed slowly: "What kind of big west chamber is singing, it's really meaningless......"
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is invited."
Suddenly, the voice of a servant girl came from outside.
Zhu Xu was stunned, and then he completely came to his senses, and shouted while picking up the account book: "I know, come here." ” Walking to the door, he straightened his clothes, rubbed his face, looked up at the starry sky, and his heart suddenly felt good, and he walked towards Kunning Palace.
Anyway, this Chinese New Year's Eve is not his alone.
Because Zhu Youxiao was ill, Kunning Palace was not too decorated, and several red lanterns were hung to illuminate the way.
"Xiao Yongning, Uncle Huang is here, think of me, oops...
Yikes..."

Zhu Xu stepped into the threshold and froze there in an instant, grinning.
In the face, Zhu Youzhen sat straight on the stool, looking at him expressionlessly.
