"Liu Chun, I just inquired."

Xu Zengshou ran to Liu Chun's residence again, and as soon as they met, he said: "At the banquet yesterday, there was no Xungui himself to argue with you, someone subdued them first!" ”

Xu Zengshou broke a big news, but found that Liu Chun was not interested, and he seemed to have known it for a long time.

"Someone told you?"

Liu Chun chuckled and said: "Even if no one tells me that Lan Yong is there, I'm not a fool, it must be his father who asked him to come to the town, I owe Liang Guogong a favor again!" Liu Chun sighed, owing the favor of the big man, it is very difficult to pay it back, the so-called soldier dies for his confidant, and when necessary, he must give up his life.

But Liu Chun didn't have this consciousness at all.

Sapphire?

Just give him a book and send it away, do you really think the master owes you?

Liu Chun is indeed a little inflated, since he has seen Lao Zhu several times and successfully played Emperor Hongwu, he has floated...... Xu Zengshou sat across from him and chuckled: "It's nothing if it's Liang Guogong, but it's a pity, it's another one, you owe a favor!" ”

Xu Zengshou said with a narrow smile, obviously wanting to see Liu Chun's good show.

……

At the same time that Xu Zengshou visited Liu Chun, Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, also put on his court clothes and was about to hand over a sign to ask to see Zhu Yuanzhang...... Coming out of the main house, I happened to pass by a spacious and bright hall, from which curling smoke wafted out, this building resembled a Buddhist hall, but no Buddha statues were enshrined.

On the shrine is a curved iron plate shaped like a tile, on which are carved many neat characters...... This iron plate is the legendary Danshu iron coupon, also known as the gold medal for avoiding death!

As the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Zhongheng naturally has a piece! This is His Majesty's promise to their Lu family. Except for rebellion, you don't have to care about other sins.

With this piece of iron scrolled, Lu Zhongheng was fearless.

What's more, his son is also married to a princess, and with double insurance, what else is there to worry about.

The other party is just a small experience officer, and he is not a great person, although he has done some things and is in the limelight, but what does it matter! He is a veteran who has been born and died for decades, and he has countless friends in Beijing, although he is not as good as the Xu family and the Lan family, but he is also a top honorable man, which should not be underestimated.

Riding on the war horse, Lu Zhongheng suddenly had a feeling of rapid heartbeat, very panicked, and very blocked, in short, not very comfortable. And the more he thought about Yoo Chun's affairs, the more flustered he became......

"It's really ridiculous, the old man is a dignified founder of the country, the emperor's sons and daughters, and he is worried that a stinky kid will spread out, and it won't make people laugh out of their big teeth!"

Lu Zhongheng laughed at himself, and then walked towards the palace without hesitation.

Entering the palace was exceptionally smooth, and he handed over the sign directly, and immediately Zhu Yuanzhang invited him in. Today's Emperor Hongwu seems to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

"Just now, the crown prince came and told me that he would select a few envoys to go to the vassal kingdom and read the holy decree, and ask them to send envoys to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival to participate in my birthday ceremony."

Lao Zhu's birthday is September 18, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is more than a month in advance. It seems that there is a lot of time, but in fact, I have to learn the etiquette of the country, and Liu Chun has done so many tricks, commodity buying and selling, large and small affairs, more than a month, but I am afraid that it is not enough.

Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to mention the birthday ceremony, Lu Zhongheng laughed and said: "Your Majesty, it has been decades since Your Majesty raised the three-foot sword, opened the foundation, and swept away the Great Yuan. My Ming Dynasty is now thriving, the people are abundant, the people are healthy and happy, and the world is peaceful. Holding a grand birthday ceremony for His Majesty can just show the filial piety of the subjects. Inviting foreign vassals to come, and being able to swear to Tianwei and show the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "So, you also agree with the birthday ceremony?" ”

Lu Zhongheng suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, blushing with excitement.

"Your Majesty! The minister not only agreed, but also wanted to ask His Majesty's permission to let the minister run the birthday ceremony for His Majesty, and the minister was willing to do his best to make the birthday ceremony grand and magnificent, and repay His Majesty's grace in case of emergency! ”

After speaking, Lu Zhongheng threw himself to the ground, just waiting for Lao Zhu to nod.

……

“…… The thing is roughly like this, it was the Hedong lion who shot and beat Lu Xian, and even the horse master was beaten, what dare others say! Xu Zengshou smiled and said, "I didn't see it, Liang Guogong really cares about you, and actually sent his baby daughter to help...... But be careful, that girl isn't easy to mess with, stay away from her! ”

"It's her!"

Liu Chun instantly remembered the heroine of the female middle school who led Huang Qing on the left and Qingqing on the right, because yesterday Miss Lan was wearing men's clothes and stood next to Lan Yong, just glanced at it, Liu Chun didn't recognize it.

Listening to Xu Zengshou's introduction, Liu Chun expressed his approval...... What you said makes so much sense!

……

"You get up first."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately, but let Lu Zhongheng calm down and gave him a seat.

"You want to take care of the birthday ceremony, I want to ask you, what are you going to do? Is there a belly case? ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhongheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, this birthday ceremony, all countries come to the court, it is extraordinary, it must be grand and grand, otherwise how can it be worthy of the heavenly dynasty?" The old minister pondered, he couldn't be afraid of spending money, but he couldn't spend money indiscriminately, he had to prepare at least three million yuan, and then recruit people to build a residence for guests by Xuanwu Lake. Then on the lake, build a ten-foot stage...... When His Majesty celebrates his birthday, all the envoys are invited to watch the play together, and the army and the people will have fun and celebrate all night. ”

Lu Zhongheng saw that Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, and he became even more energetic, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that two big dragon boats will be specially built, and the royal roads in the capital will also be renovated, and the lights will be displayed everywhere, which will be more lively than the New Year." ”

After listening to Lu Zhongheng's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled dumbly, "According to what you do, three million is not enough!" ”

Lu Zhongheng immediately said: "I have been established in the Ming Dynasty for 20 years, and the treasury is full, even if I have more money, I can get it." Your Majesty's holy life is extraordinary, if you lose your dignity, the courtiers who operate it really deserve to die! ”

Lu Zhongheng saw that Lao Zhu seemed to be displeased, he gritted his teeth again, such a good opportunity, it is better to finish the battle!

"Your Majesty, if you are worried about spending too much, the minister thinks that you can transfer some money from the bank."

"Bank!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up, he had been studying for many days.

"And what are you going to do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Lu Zhongheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that some new coins can be issued, and there are ...... Can you issue an order that all the treasure money in the hands of the people should be deposited in the bank, and the imperial court will collect the old money and issue new money according to the method of 10% to 10...... In this way, the cost of the birthday ceremony has an eyebrow. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with his nose, then got up and walked two steps, and suddenly mocked: "If the expenses are there, my country will be in chaos!" ”

"Ahh

Lu Zhongheng didn't seem to understand, and his whole person froze.

"If new banknotes are issued indiscriminately, the value of the currency will plummet, and if ten is exchanged for one, the people's wealth will be looted, and the people will have nothing to live on...... The court has no credit, and the people have no wealth...... The next step is to dig out a one-eyed stone man, and everyone in the world will come to rebel against me? ”

"Ahh

Lu Zhongheng hurriedly knelt down, and cold sweat kept breaking out from his sideburns and forehead.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The old minister has no such intentions, please Your Majesty to be clear, to be clear! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang circled around Lu Zhongheng twice, and suddenly said, "You are just suggesting, I won't blame you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhongheng kowtowed, banged the pestle, and echoed in the hall. He was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden turn of face.

"You are also my hero, the general of the court, how can I be angry with you because of a few words!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your generosity, Your Majesty is like the benevolence of the sky, the minister, the minister is broken, it is difficult to repay it!" Lu Zhongheng didn't think about anything, just begged Zhu Yuanzhang to take credit for his past achievements and let him go.

Apparently, he was overthinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang has just begun, where can he be let go.

"Lu Zhongheng, Ji'an Hou! You have meritorious service, and I have always been stingy with rewards...... Over the years, you have a lot of family background, right? ”

"This ...... Minister, minister is willing to offer five, ten, one hundred thousand treasure money! For birthday ceremonies! "Lu Zhongheng plans to break the fortune and avoid disaster.

"One hundred thousand? That's a lot! Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sank down and said angrily: "Lu Zhongheng! If you have 100,000 yuan in money, why don't you deposit it in the bank? Are you worried that I'll take your money? Or...... Isn't this money coming from the right place? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had a layer of frost on his face, and Lu Zhongheng only felt goosebumps all over his body. He wanted to give himself two mouths.

Is there anyone as stupid as himself in this world?

Why did you fall into the net?

What is the difference between daring to take the initiative to mention the bank's affairs and looking for death!

Lu Zhongheng was anxious and frightened, speechless.

At this time, a eunuch took Liu Chun and went around to the back of the throne of the main hall. Zhu Biao was sitting here, he made a silent gesture at Liu Chun, and then let Liu Chun sit next to him.

When Liu Chun sat down, Zhu Biao said with a smile in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Watch the play!" ”

As soon as Liu Chun was done, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "I want to know, what are you afraid of the bank?" ”

Liu Chun's heart is moving...... Obediently, it's really a good show! He hurriedly listened......
