Emperor Yongzhi did not stay for too long at the banquet in Hanyuan Hall. He just drank a few glasses of wine, sat down for a while, and left.

As Emperor Yongzhi left, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively. Dozens of tables of longevity wine and cups were mixed.

After the emperor left, the concubines gradually left one after another. For a moment, the rings of the penis were clanging, the pearls and jade were shaking, and the fragrance was gushing, and the palace maids accompanied them.

In the hall, on the east side of the area where the King of Shu was located, several friends gathered around him to have a drink together. One of them smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, Duke Yong is making a big splash today. You have made a lot of money! I have received several jars of Xinfeng wine. I will invite Brother Jiu to enjoy the wine at home another day."

Another prince said, "The Fourth Brother's big money today is even more awesome than the 1 million silver dollar of the Ninth Brother. He spent a lot of money. It's a pity..."

"Haha!" The princes at the table burst into laughter. King Jin and King Chu have already left the stage. Therefore, everyone dared to say a few jokes like this. King Jin can be said to have lost a lot of rice today! Of course, the one who won the prize in the end was Queen Yang's son!

King Ningke of Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head. After today, I am afraid that Prince Yang will attract more attention. This is probably the effect that Doctor Yin wants. However, he was finally involved! He said seriously: "It's all about his son's filial piety, so don't joke." He declined and said politely: "I'm about to get married, so drink and wait for the future!"

He was engaged to General Xuan Da and Duke Qing Guo’s second daughter. He will get married tomorrow.

King Ningke of Shu said, and asked King Ningxi of Yan at the same table, "Brother Xi, your wedding will be in March tomorrow, right?"

Yan Wang Ning Xi, wearing a crimson prince's robe, was a fifteen-year-old boy, fair and weak, and replied: "Yes. Brother Jiu!" Originally, the Empress Yuan was meant to let him get married as soon as possible and have a lot of branches and leaves. However, he wanted to wait for his husband to return to Beijing to support his wedding. But the husband was far away in Jiangnan, so he dragged it down. He simply decided until March next year.

The princes looked a little sarcastic and looked at King Yan with a smile. Ning Xi was too weak. If the King of Shu had not followed him, they would have made fun of him today.

…

…

After Emperor Yongzhi left Hanyuan Hall, he did not go to the bedroom behind to rest. Empress Yang and others were in the bedroom. Instead, he went to the imperial study room to rest for a while.

"Take the latest memorials over. I want to review them!" Emperor Yongzhi ordered Xu Yan to walk into the imperial study room and sit behind the desk. A young eunuch brought up the tea he had made early. Emperor Yongzhi took a sip and leaned on the chair.

The open and secret struggle between King Jin and King Chu made him feel very sad, and he almost ruined his birthday. Fortunately, his youngest son was smart and clever, which made him feel better.

But now he wants to be alone for a while and sort out his own ideas.

With his many years of experience in governing, what the King of Chu said in front of him was probably true. The King of Jin was so disappointed! Do you know why Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty died and not many people in the world cried for him? Because Chongzhen increased Liao pay and exploited the people.

The people are very real. Rulers reduce taxes and exempt taxes. If they live well, they will sing praises to you. If the ruler increases taxes, they will scold you behind their backs.

When Emperor Yongzhi was pondering, the little eunuch outside reported, "Your Majesty, the King of Wu is asking for a meeting."

"Let him come in!"

Emperor Yongzhi casually ordered, took a sip of tea, and watched the King of Wu come in from outside the study room, with a smile on his face, and said gently: "Brother of the Emperor is here, no gifts! I am about to find you. How much does this year's Holy Birthday cost? When I came, I saw that the entire Xiyuan was decorated with lights and colors, which cost a lot, right?"

The King of Wu was a few years younger than Emperor Yongzhi. The middle-aged man in his early forties was very handsome and well-maintained. He looked much younger than Emperor Yongzhi. He bowed and said, "I am going to report this to Your Majesty."

"Yeah." Emperor Yongzhi nodded. He felt a little clear. The emperor spent 1 million taels of gold and silver a year. All of them were managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But how many places were used for money? Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs took over the share of coins, and he gave the soldiers on the frontier a lot of rewards, there might not be much silver left in the treasury.

The King of Wu lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are only 30,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, preparing for New Year's Day. Your Majesty is the saint, and I dare not say that I am frugal. I have to open up the source. I have received advice from Jia Huan to borrow 200,000 taels from Shanxi merchants with this method. This is the grand occasion of the Holy Birthday. I beg Your Majesty to approve this method."

Today, it is not considered bragging. At least, on the scene, the King of Wu did achieve grand and festiveness, and the palace was full of smiles. The emperor and his subjects were having fun together.

This step is definitely not to be saved when expressing his merits. Although he is doing things and is loyal to the emperor, he also needs to leave a good impression in the emperor's heart. The exchange of Jia Huan's proposal is to "get points". Jia Huan wants the emperor to give him a marriage.

Emperor Yongzhi was a little strange, "Oh? What's the way?"

The King of Wu replied concisely: "Get the football lottery!"

The originator of modern football is Britain. But Cuju originated in China. Polo was even more prosperous in the Tang Dynasty. The method Jia Huan said was very simple, which was to start a football league in Beijing and issue football lottery.

As we all know, how profitable welfare lottery is! How high is the profit of European gambling companies! It is illegal to hold private welfare lottery and open football handicaps. But it is legal for official holdings. Therefore, the most profitable business in the world is not arms, nor any other high-tech companies. The most profitable business is "opening a government"!

As for whether it is called Cuju League or Football League, it can be discussed. What rules are adopted also depends on market demand. It is not to say that playing football must be like British football: 11 people play. The way of playing Taiwei Gao of the Song Dynasty is different from this. American football is not the same. In the United States, football is more popular than football.

Everything will be determined by the needs of the people in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. What remains unchanged in the core is the huge profit of issuing football lottery. This is why King Wu was able to ask Shanxi merchants to lend a loan of 200,000 taels of silver.

Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Gambling has existed since ancient times. There are many kinds of gambling tools. For merchants, the tricks inside are not difficult to see clearly. Can a dealer not make money by gambling? The threshold for a casino is never gambling technology, but an "access certificate"! What are you afraid of when you pull the emperor’s office to issue football lottery together?

After hearing the general explanation from the King of Wu, Emperor Yongzhi probably understood what "football lottery" was. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't ruin my reputation with the royal family."

The King of Wu hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, your Majesty, you will never let the holy name be damaged. I will bear any mistakes with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Yongzhi smiled and nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work, brother." He leaned comfortably on the dragon throne. The King of Wu still made him very worried. It is good to open source!

At this time, the eunuch general manager Xu Yan had brought a few eunuchs to carry the box containing the memorials. Emperor Yongzhi ordered: "The emperor is busy today. I think I didn't eat anything in the hall just now. Xu Yan went to the kitchen to give the King of Wu a rice porridge, and then a few light pastries and hot dishes. I will send it here and eat it here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Yan smiled and retreated. Before leaving, he glanced at the King of Wu. Everyone could tell that the emperor was in a good mood. This was a grace to the King of Wu.

The King of Wu hurriedly bowed and thanked him, "My dear..."

Emperor Yongzhi smiled and waved his hand, got up from the dragon throne, and sighed: "I am the emperor, and I often have unpleasant things. The emperor can help me deal with trivial matters in money, so I feel comforted. How can I enjoy a meal of imperial meal? I will give you the salary of a prince in the future and the python clothes! I will be named Prince Ning Cheng as Duke Zhenguo, and the title is Duke Yue."

Giving python clothes was regarded as a great honor and favor in the Zhou Dynasty. It is even more important to say that the son was granted. This is a great honor and affordability!

A Duke! Going further up there is a prince and a prince.

The royal family enthronement of the Zhou Dynasty was not similar to the Ming Dynasty. Each vassal king had titles and was successively surrendered to inherit the titles. In the Zhou Dynasty, except for the emperor's son, the rest of the royal family had only one title. Moreover, it may not be a prince or a prince.

For example, it is unknown whether the crown prince of King Wu, could Ning Cheng inherit the title of county prince from King Wu. It is very likely that he would grant a title such as a general of the auxiliary state (second-ranked rank). Isn’t the eldest son of the clan king, who only granted a title of auxiliary state (super-ranked rank, equivalent to an earl in the meritorious title system)?

A heat surged in the heart of the King of Wu. The hard work of the past half month suddenly disappeared. He flew out of the sky, knelt down, kowtowed and said, "I thank you for your kindness." His voice was choked and excited!

Just now in the hall, everyone thought that Prince Yang had won the first prize. However, if Prince Yang had not relieved the emperor's mood and laid the emotional foundation, how could he have such a good effect now?

Yin Yizi is the Duke of the Kingdom!

Yin Yan expected that the two kings of Jin and Chu would compete. Therefore, when the river clams fought, the fisherman would benefit! Jia Huan expected that Prince Yang would inevitably surface and he would express his merits to the emperor. Then, he and Jia Huan were the last ones to benefit!

Scores were successfully converted!

The King of Wu kowtowed again and said while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, Jia Huan, the younger brother of the Yuan Concubine, was the most important thing for this plan. The minister did not dare to take it. Jia Huan knew that he was ashamed of the emperor and did not ask for a resurgence. He and his cousin, the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the former Yan Yan Censor of Yangzhou, were in love with each other, but he asked Your Majesty to give him a marriage!"

Emperor Yongzhi looked at the King of Wu, smiled and said, "I understand!"

…

…

The King of Wu was granted the salary of a prince and respected his son as Duke. The news of Jia Huan's proposal for marriage was soon spread to the King of Wu's mansion. Then, in the dark, it was passed on to all parts of the capital.

In the study room of the Wu Palace, in the back garden, the servant who sent the news said it outside the door and left.

Ning Cheng was completely confused, his eyes were lost, as if he was sleepwalking! His father earned him a duke and came back. According to Mr. Jia, he can now be a rice worm for life, eat and wait for death. Moreover, it is still a very leisurely and comfortable type.

Duke!

In the palace of King Wu, a seemingly joyful atmosphere suddenly erupted.

Ning Xiao smiled lightly, bright and colorful, with a smile as bright as a flower, blooming in the bright candlelight, congratulations: "Congratulations to Mr. Jia for fulfilling his long-cherished wish and embracing the beauty back!"

She and Jia Tanchun are good friends. I know a little bit about the matter in the Jia family. Jia Huan and the Lin cousin are interested in each other, but they are bound by various constraints and cannot get together. The emperor's marriage will perfectly solve this problem. Cooperating with Jia Huan's name as a romantic and famous scholar, this marriage will surely become anecdote, and will be discussed, recognized and envied by scholars all over the world.

Jia Huan, a person with such a calm temperament, relaxed when he heard the result and smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

The King of Wu is still very powerful! In the winter of the 12th year of Yongzhi, he took Daiyu back to Beijing. On the canal boat, he made a promise to her and would marry her. Now, four years have passed, and he can finally fulfill his promise.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, it should be used to restore the emperor's favor and restart his career, such as the King of Wu, or to gain some political interests or to obtain some economic interests. However, in his heart, it is better to let the emperor marry him and Daiyu!

Sister Lin, flowers bloom on the street, green mountains and clear waters. Spring water is born, spring forest is flourishing, and spring breeze is not as good as you!
