[Chapter 288] Only children who can cry can eat candy

(0288)

For the vassal kings in various places, the lifespan of Emperor Wanli is still worthy of serious attention. This kind of attention is not for the throne, but for the distribution of certain interests within the royal family. In addition to the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings who rebelled and robbed the throne, only Emperor Jiajing picked up a dead chicken and ascended the Nine Five. The other vassal kings basically had no chance of ascending the throne. Therefore, they had only one purpose, that is, to accumulate wealth. As long as the vassal kings in various places had territory, they were all masters of making money.

As we all know, the relationship between the prince and the Fu King has always been very bad. Of course, the vassal kings also have to make their own choices. In fact, most of the vassal kings stand on the side of the prince and are not very fond of the Fu King. This mentality is easy to understand. If you have a child in your family, you are neither the eldest son nor the youngest, but because of your mother, you have enjoyed all the resources at home and squeezed away all the shares that you should have given to others. How can you not be jealous of this child? Can you willingly let this child as the throne of the emperor?

For example, when King Fu was in Luoyang, Emperor Wanli gave him 20,000 yuan of land and 20,000 yuan of land in one breath. What does that mean? It is equivalent to 2 million mu of land. Even if you earn one tael of silver per acre of land every year, the income from land rent alone will have 2 million taels of silver per year, let alone other income. Even if the Qing Palace is the most powerful man in Ningxia Town, the land owned by the name is not as good as the Fu Palace!

Not only that, when King Fu was married, Emperor Wanli generously rewarded 10,000 yuan of land and a large amount of silver. With the gift of gold, jewelry, rare antiques, jade jewelry, etc., King Fu became the richest vassal king of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. Since then, Emperor Wanli has repeatedly added the gifts, and it feels like he is a little less, so he is sorry for King Fu. As a result, the fields around Luoyang and even the entire Henan Province were not enough to be distributed to King Fu, and he had to go to nearby Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and Huguang to cede land.

The feeling that Emperor Wanli gives people is that I cannot give the throne of Emperor Fu, so I will compensate him. I will give all the silver from the Taicang warehouse and the treasury to King Fu, and he will have as much as he wants. Nothing you say is useful. I want to care for my son, it has nothing to do with you. If you are so extravagant, the vassal kings will be surprised if they are not jealous. However, under the favor of Emperor Wanli, even if the vassal kings have any complaints, they dare not say it clearly.

Fortunately, Emperor Wanli's life span is not long. With his current age and his current physical condition, he can only last for a few years at most. What is King Fu's dependence? Of course, it is Emperor Wanli. As long as Emperor Wanli is gone, can his stupid mother still make trouble and make trouble? It would be good if he can keep his wealth.

Of course, the prince Zhu Changluo is a good man recognized by the vassal kings. It was not that he wanted to be a good person by nature, but his life experience, forcing him to be a good person. Under the target of Emperor Wanli, he could not make any mistakes, otherwise there would be a possibility of being deposed at any time. To be honest, the prince was indeed too hard, and it was much more difficult than the Xiaozong Zhu Youzhang of the year.

The most important content of the New Year's Garden Party in the 45th year of Wanli is of course to congratulate Emperor Wanli on his 45th year of ascending the throne. No matter what the vassal kings in various places think, these superficial skills must be done. Moreover, this year's celebration must be made a little more grand than in previous years. Because this year is a relatively special year.

In addition to the previous Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Wanli reigned for the longest time. There is a very subtle opponent here. Emperor Jiajing reigned for just 45 years. If Emperor Wanli could spend 45 years smoothly, his ascension time would be longer than Emperor Jiajing, and he became the longest ascension emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

No one knows what Emperor Wanli was thinking. In his later years, Emperor Wanli showed less and less, and even the prime minister could not see him a few times a year. However, according to the normal mentality of a normal person, Emperor Wanli should be very concerned about this year. After all, as long as he persisted for another year, he would be the longest-time emperor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He would definitely be unable to hold back this pride.

Of course, Emperor Jiajing was the first emperor. As a junior Emperor Wanli, he would never dare to take the initiative to engage in celebrations. Otherwise, he would easily be labeled as an unfilial descendant. However, if he did not do it himself, it would not mean that others would not do it, especially those who wanted to please Emperor Wanli. If others did it, Emperor Wanli would not do it, the censors and censors of the Censorate would have no chance to bite people. As long as these mad dogs did not come out, there would be no big problem.

Hu Yan Aobo finally said with a smile: "For this year's New Year's Garden Party, the prince sent a total of 168 posts. At that time, more than 90% of the people will come in person. Xu Guard, you should not miss such a good opportunity. Dragon traps shallow water, tigers leave the gate, Xu Guard's genius, wise and magical martial arts, and such a small place in Ningxia Town, I am afraid that I can't tolerate Xu Guard. With the advice of the young man, Xu Guard might as well contact people outside to see what the outside world looks like."

Xu Xingxia nodded casually, then looked at Hu Yan Aobo suspiciously. What does this cunning guy mean when he said such heartfelt words to him? He actually said that Ningxia Town could not accommodate him, and even such a stingy word from Yingming Shenwu. Could it be that the superiors were interesting and drove him away from Ningxia Town? He couldn't handle himself in Ningxia Town, so he wanted to kick him away? Humph! It's easy to ask for a god but it's hard to send him away. Do you think you can drive me away easily? There is no suitable place to go, and I won't even leave!

However, Hu Yan Aobo's words have some truth. Ningxia Town is indeed too small to accommodate his own. One day, I will go to the outside world to explore. It is indeed beneficial to me to know more people. I could live as an otaku in my previous life, but it is impossible for me to live in this life. The sea is wide and the fish leaps with the sky high, and the birds fly with the sky. The world is so big that I can go wherever I want. This is the real awesome!

"Since that's the case, I'll be there on time!" Xu Xingxia said.

"The little old man knew that Guard Xu would not refuse." Hu Yan Aobo said.

Xu Xingxia paused slightly and said slowly: "The Tartars are about to move south. Isn't the prince worried that the garden party will be attacked by the Tartars? What if the Tartars are excited here and the Tartars are killed under the city, wouldn't it be a big shame?"

Hu Yan Aobo laughed and said cheerfully: "With Guard Xu here, what should the prince worry about? Not only is the prince not worried, but the governor and general officer are not worried either. Since Guard Xu can defeat Gugele's two thousand-man teams with hundreds of troops and defeat the re-attack of several thousand-man teams of Tartars. They are all waiting for Guard Xu to create miracles again and send good news!"

Xu Xingxia cursed secretly in her heart. These old foxes were numb and were all cunning. They thought that the Tartars would be nervous for a while and they could find a way to get some benefits from them. Now it seems that this opportunity is relatively slim. It can be seen that being too capable is not a good thing. If you are too capable, others will count on you in everything. Only children who can cry can eat candy!

However, there is no way to worry about this matter, and it is even more impossible to eat candy. His jurisdiction happened to be the first to be the one who was going south. If the Tatars wanted to plunder the mainland of Ningxia Town, they had to pass through his defense zone, which he would never tolerate. Although the guys in the rear were too hateful, he could not be shameless and let the Tatars go over and let them attack the mainland of Ningxia Town. If he did that, he would be a veritable traitor. Even if the military households were willing to follow him, he would despise himself.

After receiving Xu Xingxia's affirmative reply, Hu Yan Aobo went away with satisfaction. When he left, his proud look always made Xu Xingxia feel something was wrong. He felt that he had fallen into something again. He just thought about it, but he couldn't think of it. There was another pit waiting for him in front of him. Since he couldn't think of it, then don't think about it. There must be a way before the car arrives at the mountain, so let's talk about it later!

After being busy for a while, it was New Year's Eve, Xu Xingxia had the opportunity to go home. She just happened to pass by Wang Qinian's grocery store and saw Wang Qinian hanging lanterns at the door. This Jinyiwei's real family is actually a helpless and childless person. It seems that the long-term career has had a great impact on his life. The lanterns at other people's doors are basically hung by their own children. For example, Xu Xudong handles the lanterns in Xu's family. Only Wang Qinian needs to do it himself.

"Old Wang, I'll help you!" Xu Xingxia said as she helped. With his help, the lanterns at the entrance of the grocery store were quickly hung. Xu Xingxia looked around casually and found that there were all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides of the Cross Street of Weizhen Fort, which looked very beautiful. In his impression, this was the first time he had seen so many lanterns in Weizhen Fort. In a sense, it was finally a bit of the New Year atmosphere.

In the past, the military households in Weizhen Fort were so poor that they had no money to eat New Year’s Eve dinner, so where could they have money to hang lanterns? But this year is different. This year, the living standards of the military households in Weizhen Fort have changed a lot. Not only did they eat well and dress well, but they also began to have spiritual pursuits. Hanging lanterns is the most primitive spiritual pursuit.

Secondly, it is to set off fireworks and firecrackers. The nouveau riche in Weizhen Fort likes to show off with fireworks and firecrackers. In the past, Zhang Qiuqing and Wang Shoulu and other few families had the money to buy fireworks and firecrackers. This year, any military family can afford it. It is estimated that the number of fireworks and firecrackers burned in Weizhen Fort on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Chinese New Year will definitely not be short.
