Shan/Dong, Yanzhou.

Prince Lu's Mansion.

Zhu Shouyou was the eighth generation of King Lu. He succeeded to the throne for nearly twenty years. His waist was as thick as a bucket, but his face was extremely thin. He sat on the throne and looked down at the group of people below.

His sons Zhu Yipai, the chief of the royal palace, Xixi Tao Yong, and some local trusted officials in Yanzhou Prefecture.

The hall was extremely quiet, with a suffocating depression, which lasted for a long time.

Zhu Yipai looked at the chief of the royal palace who kept silent and said coldly to Zhu Shouyou: "Father, the little emperor is demonstrating to you. We must not retreat, otherwise, we will really think that our Prince Lu's Mansion is easy to bully!"

Tao Yong glanced at Zhu Yisai and said, "Prince, the little emperor is arbitrary and unrestrained person. This time, he sent someone to Yanzhou, obviously for you! He still wants to force you to go to the capital so that the vassal kings in the world can see the scene of his ascension to the throne!"

Zhu Shouyou looked at Lin Beiyang, the head of the royal palace, who had not spoken.

Lin Beiyang stood there, squinting his eyes until Zhu Shouyou looked at him, and then bowed slightly and said, "Prince, since the 30th year of Wanli, the world has become chaotic, and people in various places have changed. This is a sign of a change of dynasty. Moreover, the new emperor was young and acted recklessly, liked military and disgusted with politics, and could not last long. This time, Wei Zhongxian was sent to come for the sake of the yellow and white thing."

These words were not only Lin Beiyang, King Fu, and King Qin mentioned in their letters that Zhu Shouyou didn't care. After all, the Ming Dynasty was still as stable as Mount Tai. He cared about the last sentence, saying, "Sir, is the emperor trying to extort money?"

Lin Beiyang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the new emperor loves money. As we all know, although the prince asked for leave and refused to go to the capital, it should not be enough to make the new emperor misunderstand. It is nothing more than taking the opportunity to blackmail some."

Zhu Shouyou breathed a sigh of relief. Things that money could solve were all small things. He had the confidence and said, "Okay, let me leave it to the teacher."

Zhu Yisai immediately opposed it and said, "Father, no, the young emperor has cut 30% of the royal salary, and there are many harsh cuts, less than 50% of the original one. If he is given the money, wouldn't our royal palace become a decoration?"

The most important feature of a vassal king is that it has a royal salary. Once this salary is cancelled, it means that the weight of this vassal king is reduced by a large margin.

Zhu Shouyou frowned, and Lin Beiyang smiled at once and said, "Don't worry, young master, the little emperor is nothing more than a demonstration. We just need to give him enough face and let people walk around the capital, especially for the King Xin. Even if this matter is gone, as for the money, there will be more in the future."

Zhu Shouyou heard this and said, "Mr. Lin is saying that this matter is settled."

Lin Beiyang's smile became stronger and stronger in his eyes, and he said without hesitation: "Prince, we cannot show our weakness. Lu Xiangsheng has to oppress him so that the emperor can know the strength of our Prince Lu's Mansion."

Zhu Shouyou agreed and said, "It's right. You can't let the little emperor think that I am easy to bully. I will write a book to Ji/Nan."

Zhu Yipai looked unhappy and glanced at Lin Beiyang who had been singing opposite him, and his anger was not revealed.

"Prince, it's not good, it's not good..."

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, a person who looked like a manager stumbled in.

Zhu Shouyou's face darkened and shouted, "What are you panic? Have you forgotten the rules of the royal palace? Come and take it out..."

The manager shouted and knelt down and said, "Prince, I understand the rules. Something big has happened. Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian sealed off all the land of our palace and took it away..."

Food is the lifeline, so the land is the lifeline under the lifeline. Zhu Shouyou stood up suddenly and said coldly: "What has been sealed? Let me explain it clearly?"

The manager got up and said, "Prince, Wei Zhongxian regarded all the lands that originally belonged to the royal palace as "illegal" lands, and ordered all prefectures and counties to confiscate them and merge them into the treasury..."

Lin Beiyang had a look of surprise on his face and stared at the manager and said, "To be careful, are they those 'dedicated' places or all the territories of the royal palace?"

The manager was stunned and said, "Returning to the chief minister, it should be a contribution..."

Zhu Yipai was furious and said, "Father, the little emperor is here to be true. We want to give him some color!"

"Bang!"

Zhu Shouyou slapped Zhu Yipai in the face, his eyes were ferocious, and he shouted coldly: "What color, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Zhu Yipai was blinded and stood there, his eyes wide open, all in shock.

This slap was Zhu Yipai, but it was Lin Beiyang.

Lin Beiyang also felt that the slap was slapped on his face, a little hot, but he still said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Prince Lu's mansion has no major mistakes, it's just that it has less land. You might as well invite this Eunuch Wei to have a banquet on the other day, make it clear and everything is easy to discuss."

Zhu Shouyou nodded and said with a gloomy face: "That's all. In addition, if you write a letter to King Ping, you say that I am much better and can go to Beijing as soon as possible to participate in the emperor's throne ceremony."

Lin Beiyang held his hands behind his back, and Zhizhu said as if he was holding it: "The prince should have made the right move. However, Yanzhou Prefecture has to deal with it as soon as possible. We must not let them say more, otherwise things will be difficult to be good! Also, the prince must make plans early for the candidates of the prefecture of Yanzhou Prefecture and do not let anyone take the lead."

Zhu Shouyou said: "Mr. Lin said, Tao Yong, if you do this, you should not be careless. However, in addition to the Shandong Provincial Administration, the Ministry of Personnel in the capital is also very important. Let's take gifts to the capital to walk around."

Zhu Yipai's face turned red and his eyes were staring at Lin Beiyang viciously.

The more calm Lin Beiyang showed, the more stupid he seemed to be!

Lin Beiyang didn't care about Zhu Yisai. He stood there, squinted his eyes, and his heart was rotating rapidly. With the trust of King Lu, let alone the small Yanzhou Prefecture, even the entire Shandong/dong, he could have a way to lie down!

"Prince, Prince!"

Just as the few people were relieved and their minds were turning around, a servant hurriedly ran in again.

Zhu Shouyou was in a bad mood, and he immediately said coldly as soon as he saw it: "Rareless, can you just break into this lobby?"

Zhu Yipai was in a worse mood and had a gloomy face and didn't speak.

Lin Beiyang smiled and said nothing.

However, the Xishi, Tao Yong frowned and had a bad premonition in his heart.

The servant quickly got up and said, "Prince, yes, it's Wei Zhongxian here!"

Before the servant finished speaking, the faces in the lobby changed.

Not to mention Wei Zhongxian’s glorious deeds, just talk about the fact that now, the Dongchang, which was in charge of the merger of the Jinyiwei, was the emperor’s confidant. His arrival was definitely not a good intention!

Zhu Shouyou's face was tense, he looked at Lin Beiyang and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Lin Beiyang was also secretly shocked. Wei Zhongxian's sudden visit was caught off guard, and he didn't know what he had to conspire!
