Chapter 190 Hand it all over to me!

After receiving the emperor's summons, Xia Yuan and Zhu Houzhao did not dare to delay. With an uneasy mood, they rode their horses all the way and stopped in front of the dismounting monument outside Donghua Gate.

Xia Yuan jumped off the horse and handed the horse to the eunuch standing next to him.

As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao could ride his horse all the way into the Qianqing Palace without any problem as long as he resisted being beaten. However, he jumped off the horse, handed the horse over, and turned around and said: "Master, when I become the emperor in the future, I will definitely give you the right to ride a horse in the palace."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I'm very touched, but I'll forget it."

Xia Yuan's walking posture was still a little unnatural. He rubbed his butt with his hands and continued: "And you have the skills to say this. Why don't you think about how you will respond to the emperor later."

"What else can I do? Anyway, if you ask for money, I will definitely not give it to you."

No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhu Houzhao showed no fear and calmness on his face, and he swore that he would never give him any money.

That's what I got in exchange for a beating.

"What I mean is that Your Highness will think about how to protect you when you get to the Emperor later. To be honest, I have a bad feeling."

"Master, don't worry. I will protect you to the death. If my father wants to punish you, I will fight with him no matter how hard I try to get another beating."

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's face full of promise, Xia Yuan believed it. Not only did he believe it, but he was also a little moved by it.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, he witnessed the change in Zhu Houzhao's expression. One second he was fearless and fearless, like an uncle, and the next second he quickly turned into a grandson with a frown on his face. Shrinking his neck like a quail.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, he immediately saluted: "My son, I have met my father."

Riding a horse, I believed your evil deeds!

Zhu Youtang sat behind the imperial desk with a straight face. He was already a little impatient with the waiting. When he saw the traitor saluting him, he nodded slightly and said in a calm tone: "Get back on your feet."

Zhu Houzhao straightened up, then frowned and frowned.

After witnessing this with his own eyes, Xia Yuan knew that this dog prince must not be able to count on him. Damn it, he got scared faster than anyone else.

Are you the only one who can pretend to be a grandson?

I won't?

Is it for nothing to boast about being the leader of the cult?

So Xia Yuan took a deep breath, then straightened his expression, and bowed to pay homage, "The Minister of Economic Affairs washes his horse, Xia Yuan, and bows to your Majesty! I wish your Majesty a long life and a healthy body; I wish the world a prosperous national destiny, peace and happiness; and I wish our Emperor the right to rule. The immersion grows, the virtue is spread all over the world; I wish you the best."

Unable to think of any other blessings for a while, Xia Yuan could only shout out the most classic words as a final summary, "Long live my emperor!"

"."

There was no response for a long time. Zhu Youtang was stunned, and Zhu Houzhao was confused. Did he eat too much sugar? His mouth is so sweet.

Xiao Jing was even more shocked, but couldn't help but feel happy.

We can't even think of those auspicious words, but it's different to be the number one pick.

Fortunately, he didn't castrate himself and enter the palace, otherwise there would be no way for us to survive.

This era is not like the Whip Dynasty, where everyone is still concerned about face. Although the ministers are respectful when meeting the emperor, they will never send a series of blessings like this when they first meet. Even if they really want blessings, they can at most just say a wish. His Majesty's Holy Eucharist and so on.

Then the emperor replied with a greeting, and that was nothing more than that.

But now, Emperor Hongzhi was so punished that he didn't know how to respond and was very passive.

He adjusted his sitting posture unnaturally, and Zhu Youtang leaned forward to look at him, with an indescribable expression on his face, "Well... Xia Qing's family, please raise your head."

"oh"

Xia Yuan responded and raised his head.

Zhu Youtang looked at him for a long time and concluded that he was still the same person and not someone else. However, after not seeing him for a short period of time, why did he become like this?

The little mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey.

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled.

"Ahem, Xia Qing's family, please get back on your feet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying thank you, Xia Yuan stood up. He felt no burden at all. Didn't he just say some blessings?

I remember when I was a social worker, I sent New Year blessings to my superiors and bosses on WeChat. Weren’t those blessings more explicit than this?

In my previous life, I was doing it for money, so that I could eat the painted cakes and not be shabby.

This life is to avoid being punished by the emperor, and not to be shabby.

Zhu Youtang had not yet recovered from what he had said just now. After sitting for a while, he seemed to remember what he had summoned the two of them for, and then asked, "I heard that you two formed a business partnership?"

Hearing this, Xia Yuan was not surprised. The emperor summoned the two of them here, not for this matter, but for what else.

What's more, this matter cannot be hidden at all. Such a big move, including the purchase of a shop and the purchase of land, can be found out with a casual search.

"I and Your Highness did some business."

"What kind of business is it?"

"Selling white sugar."

"."

When he heard the word "sugar", Zhu Youtang closed his eyes. It was over, more than 50,000 taels of silver were gone.

He held his chest to relieve the pain of angina, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said sternly: "Absurd! What nonsense! As the crown prince of a country, he doesn't think about the way to be a king all day long, and he suddenly ran away on a whim.

If you want to do business, you can just go by yourself, and you can even invite Xia Qing’s family to accompany you in your mischief!"

"???"

Zhu Houzhao was so confused that he couldn't quite understand what he was saying.

Xia Yuan was also confused. Hearing this, why did he seem to be the one who was forced?

Xiao Jing was stunned for two seconds. He was the first to react and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this slave is dead. I forgot to report it earlier. According to Liu Jin's explanation, it was Xia Xima who encouraged the Crown Prince to do business, and

no."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand listening anymore and yelled to correct him: "It's not instigation, it's cooperation. Master came to me to cooperate. If we do business together, we can definitely make money."

Zhu Youtang was still a little dazed when he heard Xiao Jing's words in front of him, but when Zhu Houzhao said this sentence, "You can definitely make money," his face immediately darkened again. Make money, make shitty money!

He turned to look at Xia Yuan, his face softened slightly, but he still said with a straight face: "Xia Qing's family, was it your idea to do business with sugar?"

Xia Yuan's heart was beating like a deer, but he still admitted: "Return to your majesty, it is indeed my idea, and it is indeed my intention to pull your highness to do business together, but it can definitely be done."

"Xia Qing's family shouldn't talk anymore."

In the middle of the sentence, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand to interrupt, his eyes shone with a wise light that could see through everything, "You are still helping the prince lie, I don't believe you can think of such ridiculous things."

Zhu Youtang admired the Xia Qing family very much. They were talented, learned, and well behaved, and they were somewhat close friends with him as the emperor.

The most important thing is whether the person is the number one scholar. How can the number one scholar be so stupid?

But the prince is different. He is ridiculous, naughty and playful. In addition, he is still young, so it is normal to have some childish ideas. And this kind of business that is obviously going to lose money, I am afraid that only this traitor in the world can think of it.

out.

And there is Liu Jin, he is the eunuch of the East Palace, his words and actions must be directed at the prince, so he must have made a false confession.

Thinking in his heart, Zhu Youtang became more and more sure of his guess. He looked at the prince and scolded him sternly: "Who else but you can think of such a ridiculous thing and such a ridiculous deal? Now here you are.

You are deceiving yourself and blaming others for your troubles! Give me whatever money you have left!"
