Chapter 409: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety

Zhou Kui was released from prison soon, and the prince specially approved it, and Luo Yang was not good at using his character. Several prisoners in the imperial prison wanted to talk too much to stop him. After being slapped a few times, they obediently opened the prison door.

However, Zhou Kui was not happy, 300,000 taels of silver. The business of his glass factory finally improved a little, and he finally made some money. He was not so hot in his hands, so he just gave it out like this?

When Zhou Kui returned to his house, Zhu Cixuan did not travel with him, but went back to the palace directly.

The servant Liufu was like a young wife waiting for her sweetheart to return. She looked forward to the door of the Zhou Mansion and looked forward to the stars and moon, and finally saw Zhou Kui coming back in the sedan chair arranged by the prince.

"The master is back home, the father-in-law is back home!" Liu Fu greeted him with a smile, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

In Liufu's eyes, Zhou Kui's trip with the prince this time was definitely not a good thing. He knew his master very well. From the expression on Zhou Kui's face, he knew that something happened. Moreover, something big happened.

Liufu is happy to see his master return safely.

As soon as the sedan chair stopped, Liufu happily greeted him and walked over to support Zhou Kui: "Master, you are back. If you are missing from this family, the villain is really uncomfortable."

Outside the mansion, Zhou Kui did not show any abnormality. After all, there were still some people around him who came and went from north to south. He still had to take into account his face.

After entering the mansion, Zhou Kui ordered the two servants at the door: "Close the door."

The two servants did not dare to say much, so they hurriedly closed the door of the mansion. The mansion of the mansion of the mansion was closed, which inevitably attracted some passers-by to stop and watch.

After entering the house, Zhou Kui shook his body and couldn't stand it. He was shocked and rushed to support him: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Lu Fu! Woo woo woo woo woo my Lu Fu, the money is gone..."

Liufu was confused and did not dare to ask what the money was gone. He had to hold Zhou Kui with one hand and comforted him: "Don't be anxious if you don't have money, you will be gone. If you don't have money, we can make money again. Master, your health is important. Come in quickly. Come and have tea!"

Zhou Kui pushed him away and staggered into the palace hall: "Why are there any more tea to serve? What family background is ours? Can we afford to drink tea? Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

It seems that the father-in-law lost a lot of money again. Liu Fu's pig head had already guessed the reason. The prince came down to take the father-in-law away, and when he came back, he was like this.

Now, even Liufu is wondering whether Zhu Cilang is really filial or deliberately trying to deceive his grandfather's money.

After all, why is it so coincidental every time something happens? It is because of the Prince's Palace, which allows the father-in-law to lose money and eliminate disasters.

But you can't tell the father-in-law about this kind of thing. Once you say it, it will make him disagree with the prince, and then your sin of being a slave will be a great deal.

"Yes, yes, yes, the father-in-law, we don't drink tea, we don't drink tea, water, boiled water, and we don't have any money."

When he heard that he didn't have money, Zhou Kui stopped objecting and immediately made accusations. The maid brought a cup of boiled water, and Liu Fu winked. The maid hurriedly put the teacup on the table, and then hurriedly bowed and retreated.

"Master, please calm down first. You drink tea, no, you drink water."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Cixuan did not return to Zhongcui Palace, but went to Queen Zhou to see his mother. Soon, the Ganqing Palace sent someone to come over and said that it was the summoning of Emperor Long live.

When Zhu Cilang came in, Chongzhen frowned.

This made Zhu Cilang sigh secretly. His father, Chongzhen, was really sad. Every time he saw him, Chongzhen seemed to be a little older.

In my memory, Chongzhen rarely even had his eyebrows spread out. God seemed to be joking with the Ming Dynasty, as if he was intentionally opposing the Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Cilang had to admit this.

Sometimes, things are clearly moving in a good direction, but soon, they will always make you feel unhappy.

Logically speaking, Liaodong has been stable for the time being, but it is only temporary. It is not guaranteed that Huang Taiji will call him again.

The domestic bandits have also calmed down a lot, and the disaster in Henan and Shanxi has also been alleviated a lot. Also, although the income of the treasury is still difficult, at least it can be done to maintain the aging machine of the Ming Dynasty, which is barely running.

But things always develop in the direction you deviate from.

It is now the autumn harvest season, and the drought is gone, and the flood is coming again.

It rained endlessly in Shandong, Liangzhe and even Hebei. It kept raining, and the crops were plagued by seedlings.

The harvest needs to be dried, and it will become moldy if it is not dried. The harvest of hard work for a year is gone.

If you don’t harvest, it will rain endlessly, and the crops will sooner or later rot in the field. What’s even more terrible is that it’s finally a sunny day and you want to harvest the crops. When you take the harvested seeds to the grain drying ground to dry, you will suddenly have a rain.

In short, the weather is like having fun with you, but the people who end up suffering will be the people.

When Zhu Cilang came, Chongzhen looked at him sadly and said quietly: "Son, can you say that I really angered God and caused disasters to the people? Since that's the case, if God wants to blame me, I will blame me alone, what does it have to do with the people?"

"Father, what happened to you?" Zhu Cixuan couldn't help asking.

The table was filled with memorials from all over the world, and Emperor Chongzhen did not tell Zhu Cilang these worries. In his eyes, his son had already suffered enough. Besides, no one was in powerless in this kind of natural disaster.

"Ciyang, I ask you, are you hiding something from me when you investigated the tyrant businessman Fan Yongdou in Liaodong?"

I came, and finally came. I knew that this was impossible to hide it, ten million taels of silver. My father knew that it was, and he had to peel off his skin.

"No, no, Father, why did you ask that?"

"Okay, I know you have left a lot of good things. I didn't want to ask you, I just have something to ask you."

Zhu Cilang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The father has his own destiny, but the sons dare not refuse to obey."

It seems that Chongzhen didn't know that he had embezzled 10 million taels. Chongzhen just nodded and threw a Shaanxi memorial over: "Sun Chuanting is in a hurry. Over the past few months, Sun Chuanting's troops have achieved remarkable results in suppressing bandits in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places. But the military expenditure is also very poor. Sun Chuanting wrote a letter saying that it was a shortage of 300,000 taels of military pay. You can find a way to do this."

Chongzhen is not a fool. He knew that his son had made a lot of money by scamming Fan Yongdou. As for how much he didn't know, so he was testing it and first checking Zhu Cilang's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang just glanced at the memorial indifferently: "Father was joking, where did the sons get so much money? However, the 300,000 taels of military pay will be resolved tomorrow."
