Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 327 Save or Abandon?

Zhu Chenhao is in his 40s, which is actually the time when he is in the prime of life, but when the banner is raised, everything seems to be going wrong.

The army set off, and when the priest lit the candle, the candle went out somehow!

As soon as the ship sailed, the vanguard encountered a storm and the ship was destroyed.

Although Zhu Chenhao thinks it's okay for his psychological construction, but people in this era believe in the destiny most, and things don't go well, so naturally there is a certain shadow in his heart.

Now that Nanchang Mansion, the old nest, has been breached, how can we not be alarmed?
What he expected was that the court would send most troops to track him down, but he didn't expect to destroy his lair.

You must know that all my hard work these years has been in Nanchang Mansion.

If you don't rebel, you don't know. After the rebellion, Zhu Chenhao finally understood the importance of money.

When he was a vassal king before, he could be said to be the one who was not short of money, and he didn't even blink an eye when he bribed the officials of the court. It was not a problem for him to afford a few thousand taels of silver.

But now there are hundreds of thousands of troops to support, those people need food, salaries and rewards, armor and weapons, and the price of a Frangie is very expensive, and it costs a lot of money to get dozens of gray hairs The water is average.

Now Zhu Chenhao finally knows that it is expensive to be in charge of the family, and it turns out that the emperor is also so difficult to be.

Thinking about the large amount of money he had hidden in Nanchang Mansion, Zhu Chenhao's flesh hurts badly.

"Your Majesty, the Nanchang Mansion has already fallen into their hands, and it will not help the situation now. We must quickly capture Wuhu, and when the time comes, we will attack Nanjing. With the accompanying capital, it will be more convenient for us to start an incident!"

Li Shishi advised from the side.

Li Shishi, a native of Nanchang Prefecture, was a Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua.

He is good at writing articles and litigating lawsuits, and his calligraphy is particularly exquisite. He was once liked by Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing.

It's just that after the two retired and returned home, Li Shishi was squeezed out by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and he was not very comfortable with the dry weather in the capital, so he simply resigned and returned home due to illness.

It's just that he unfortunately became a neighbor with King Ning Zhu Chenhao.

Instigated by counselors, Zhu Chenhao had a different intention, and he always wanted to recruit soldiers and win over talents. The former Shang Shulang of the Ministry of Punishment and Youdu Yushi were next door to his house, so how could he not win over?
Moreover, Li Shizhen has worked in the capital for many years, no matter how poor he is, he has certain contacts, and this person has also been suggested by Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, not to mention!

Zhu Chenhao wanted to do activities in the capital, and he wanted to win over the target by giving gifts, so he always needed a middleman.

The gift-giving of Chinese people is very delicate.

If you want to give gifts for business, that person has nothing to do with you. No matter how much gold and silver you send, they will ignore you, and even drive you out of the house. If it is serious, they may even report you.

The reason is self-evident: I don't even know you, and I don't understand you. If you come to give a gift, is it possible that you are digging a hole for me?

Therefore, there must be a middleman in gift giving.

The middleman contacted the other party for recommendation, and in the midst of drinking and drinking, as long as you are willing to give it away and the other party likes it, it will be done.

The reason is that with a middleman, the other party feels that it is the same as having a guarantee. Since the middleman is willing to be a middleman, he must understand each other. He also bears certain risks, and the recipient also reduces the risk of receiving the gift.

The three restrain each other, forming a fixed triangle!
In graphics, triangles are the most stable graphics. In the early days when houses were built without reinforced concrete, the roofs of houses formed triangles, which also had a fixed principle.

Zhu Chenhao wanted to give gifts to make friends with nobles, so he naturally had to win over a middleman.

Li Shi is in Nanchang Mansion, under his nose, if such a person can't be controlled, what will he do?

Of course, Li Shishi is not a fool, he has long seen that Zhu Chenhao is not a troublemaker, he is ambitious.

He just wants to concentrate on landscape poetry and painting, enjoy life, and doesn't want to participate in miscellaneous activities.

Famous, he has a Jinshi background, has been an official in the capital, even if he retires, there are an endless stream of people visiting him every day.

The local officials also gave him three points of thin noodles.

Also, his family has a lot of wealth, originally he was a wealthy family, he has been an official for many years and bought a lot of land, although the family's property is not as good as Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, but it can be regarded as wealth and freedom.

When Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao asked Li Shishi to invite him, Li Shishi refused for various reasons.

After going back and forth, several times Zhu Chenhao invited him to drink and have fun in the mansion, but was rejected, Zhu Chenhao was a little unhappy.

Although he is only a vassal king, he is a descendant of the old Zhu family, and he is a descendant of King Ning.

Who is King Ning?

That is the vassal king who worked hard with Zhu Di to divide the Ming Dynasty.

If it wasn't for Zhu Di's cruel tricks, this Daming country would have half of their Ning Palace.

Zhu Chenhao couldn't understand Zhu Di, if that kid didn't rely on his ancestors, how could his branch become the emperor?
But it's also retribution. Few of Zhu Di's descendants are in good health, and men can't do that. It's so rare to have a son!
Today's Zhu Houzhao is in his early thirties, and he hasn't even seen a hairy child. At first glance, he is the master of the future!
If they occupy the latrine and don't shit, they should be the king of Ning's family.

Besides, the physicist has seen it with me, and he, Zhu Chenhao, is the face of an emperor!

Today, a small servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is still dismissed from office and returns home, and he doesn't give himself face. Zhu Chenhao has a lot of ways to manage this old boy.

First, Li Shishi's family servant was beaten when he went to the street.

Then the horse of Li Shishi's carriage was stabbed suddenly, and ran wildly, almost crushing someone to death.

Then when Li Shishi's wife and daughter went to the temple to offer incense, they suddenly encountered some local ruffians and reported to the officials, but those people scattered like birds and beasts.

Li Shishi went to the magistrates to investigate the matter strictly. Those magistrates were very respectful to him at first, but later they heard that the matter was related to Prince Ning's mansion, so they concealed that they didn't want to take care of it.

Later, an official who was somewhat hypocritical with Li Shishi came to persuade Li Shishi:
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
Now Nanchang Mansion is the world of King Ning, and many officials in the court support him.

The emperor has no heirs, and many courtiers are already on the side of King Ning.

If you are so stubborn and persistent, you will harm yourself and your family if you don’t speak up.

After hearing this, Li Shishi spit on the man's face and drove him out.

He didn't believe it anymore, the imperial court would ignore a vassal with a dissenting heart who trained his army so blatantly.

Li Shishi heard that two wealthy households had been seized by King Ning, and he had already written a report letter to the court.

And a local official also wrote a letter to report that King Ning had a different heart.

The man heard about Li Shishi and asked him to report it together.

Li Shishi read the letter they drafted, gave himself suggestions, and encouraged them to expose King Ning's evil deeds together, and he himself signed it!
With reason and evidence, I thought this would work!

After all, it is related to the matter of treason, and the higher-ups will definitely send people to investigate.

Don't want to end up leaving it alone, those letters actually came into Zhu Chenhao's hands.

Zhu Chenhao took those letters and threw them in front of Li Shishi, and killed the two wealthy households with his own hands in front of him.

As for Qiongzhou, where the magistrate was dispatched for unwarranted reasons, it is estimated that it will be difficult to return in the future.

Li Shishi sighed:
The imperial court wants to destroy my loyalty!Oppose me if you force me!

Li Shishi persuaded Zhu Chenhao to take Nanjing quickly regardless of Nanchang Mansion.

"Yangzheng, what do you think?"

Zhu Chenhao glanced at Li Shishi, then looked at Liu Yangzheng who was beside him.
