Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 454 King's Bath, Eyes Wide Shut
In the evening, the prince went to the East Fifth Institute to visit the sixth child.

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince approaching, the eunuchs and maids of the East Fifth Institute hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted.

When Wang Defa heard the notification, he also came out and knelt down to greet him.

"Get up." The crown prince was always kind to the palace people, and said to Wang Defa: "I will come to see your highness, and take me to see him."

"Yes." Wang Defa looked a little strange, and reported in a low voice: "Prince, my Highness is... taking a bath."

Zhu Biao looked at Wang Defa's abnormal expression, and then at the eunuchs and maids who were also in distress.I couldn't help but thump in my heart, thinking to myself, could it be that Lao Liu is messing around with the palace maid by taking a bath?
Most likely, they couldn't be wrong, otherwise Wang Defa and the others wouldn't have such expressions.

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was both relieved and angry, and he was relieved that the little brother had finally grown up.

What is angry is that the sixth child can't control the little brother, how can he mess around in the palace?To put it more seriously, this is called a dirty palace!Let the royal father know that two prince titles are not useless enough!
The prince wanted to turn around and leave, and beat the sixth son later.But after thinking about it, there is no need to talk to Lao Liu, it's better to speak frankly.

So he walked into the East Fifth Institute with a heavy face, passed through the front hall, and came to the outside of the main hall. Before he entered, he heard Lao Liu's cheap laughter from inside: "Turn around, my lord. Come wash your front!"

The prince almost fell to the ground, he is only a child, so he can play like this!Do you want to die!He secretly made up his mind to expel all the members of the East Fifth Institute, including Wang Defa...

"My lord, it's not what you think..."

The prince's face was dark, and he didn't listen to Wang Defa's explanation. He strode into the hall, passed through the heavy curtains, and came to the west room where the bathroom is located...

Seeing the mist lingering in the bathing pool made of white marble, Mu Xiang and several maids stood by the pool.There are two people fighting in the pool, one is the naked and fleshy sixth son, and the other is black and white, fluffy and chubby panda...

Lao Liu was taking a brush to bathe the giant panda. Although the panda is not a cat, it also doesn't like to take a bath, so he turned around and pointed his butt towards Lao Liu.The sixth child seemed to be coaxing a child, wanting to turn it around, to wash its chest hair...

"..." Prince Shihua was on the spot, feeling deeply guilty for thinking that the sixth child was too dirty.

Wang Defa said 'His Royal Highness is here', the sixth child turned around, saw that it was indeed the elder brother, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "I have no clothes, so I can't fully salute you."

"Forget it." The prince came back to his senses, and was speechless again.The king of Chu... oh no, the king of Chu and the king of Hai took a bath with the giant pandas in the palace.

"You go down first," he waved his hand, and Wang Defa hurriedly led the crowd to retreat.Without a servant, the prince couldn't help scolding:

"You are too nonsense, how can you take a bath with a beast?"

"It's not an animal, it's a national treasure. Don't you think it's so cute?" Zhu Zhen proudly said, "It's been my dream to take a bath with a giant panda."

"Isn't your dream to raise a giant panda?" The prince said speechlessly, "Why do you want to take a bath with it again?"

"Brother, I have many dreams." Zhu Zhen said eloquently: "Besides, my younger brother used to bathe in the river with the Great Sage Pingtian, how can we favor one over another?"

"When you were a shepherd boy, can it be the same as now?" The prince picked up a clean bath towel, threw it on his head and said, "Wipe it clean, come out and talk."

~~
Zhu Zhen climbed out of the bath, wiped his body clean, put on a bathrobe indiscriminately, came to his elder brother and smiled, "What's your order?"

"You dare to go into the water after the injury on your butt is healed?" the prince asked angrily.

"How could it be so fast? Brother Wu applied medicine on me and asked me to take a medicinal bath, saying that I could sit down tomorrow." The sixth child laughed and said, "My brother was taking a medicinal bath just now."

"Is there a medicine in it that is a panda?" The prince gave him a white look, and said earnestly:

"You are the twin princes of Ming Dynasty now. You must know that if the embankment is higher than the shore, the waves will destroy it. Besides, you have offended so many people, how many people are waiting to find fault with you and sue you? You should stop making trouble for them. It's over."

"Yes, big brother." The sixth child obediently responded, "I won't take a bath with the panda in the future."

My heart says we sleep together...

"It's not okay to sleep together, anyway, do you have to be tactful?" The prince taught him a lesson, and then said in a deep voice: "According to my father and I's idea. First, one thing does not bother two masters, and second, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. So in the future, But you will be responsible for all matters in Daming Sea."

"Good guy, can I handle it?" Lao Liu gasped.

"You don't need to worry about Chu Fan's affairs. When your father becomes a king in Huguang, you will be completely liberated and can concentrate on matters at sea." The prince had already thought it over, and said in a deep voice:

"Of course, I have to help my elder brother for a few years first. Fortunately, Nanjing and Suzhou are not far away, so you can run between them for a few years."

"It's too difficult for me." Lao Liu couldn't help crying.

"You can't be tired if you're young." The prince smiled and said, "Besides, you don't need to do everything yourself. For example, maritime trade, customs duties, etc., aren't Han Yike's Shibuyamen responsible? , and the Marquis of Nan’an is also in charge. If it’s not possible, you can set up another prime minister’s sea government office to take care of these things for you, are you tired?”

"My brother is tired." The sixth child said with a bitter face, "At such a young age, worrying about so many things will affect my growth."

The prince looked at the huge boy who was at least a head taller than his peers, and Quan pretended not to hear his words, and said to himself: "My father and I don't have high demands, you only need to do three things, one is the tranquility of the sea and the border, The second is sufficient fiscal and taxation, and the third is that the coastal people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Isn't that too demanding?" Lao Liu complained, "Brother, if you do these three things, Daming's troubles will be reduced by half."

"I know, that's why I asked you to do it." The prince smiled and said: "If you have any other requests, please bring them up together. If you can agree, I will agree."

"Brother said that my father said that I will take care of everything at sea, but what about the ports along the coast?" Zhu Zhen asked seriously after thinking about it.

"You can ask the prime minister's maritime affairs office to propose the establishment of a municipal ship department in these places, and all the city ship departments will be under your jurisdiction." The prince said in a deep voice: "I will discuss with my father, and I will give you ten indicators first, and the follow-up will wait." Let’s talk when you’re done.”

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded. He had already calculated that with Daming's current level, ten treaty ports would not be needed at all.

"The question about money..." He asked another most important question.

"In order to support the development of the maritime administration, the imperial court will not ask you for a penny within five years. However, the military expenses for preparing the Japanese Navy have to be paid by themselves, is it okay?" the prince said casually.

"No, no problem." Lao Liu wanted to cry poor, but he was really embarrassed, after all, his father and elder brother were really poor.

"When you go back to Suzhou, you should pay attention to where is the right place to set up the sea government office? In addition, there is also your palace, and it is time to start construction. Choose the location and report it to me. The construction will start in the new year." The prince said. After finishing, he patted Lao Liu's shoulder with emotion and said:
"It's so fast. In a blink of an eye, your fifth elder brother is married, and you will be the next one."

"Brother, can I take it easy and let Lao Qi go first?" Lao Liu smiled flatteringly.

"No!" The prince directly sealed his luck.
