Chapter 176

In a mansion with a high-ranking official, there are only two people who really trusted him, one is the housekeeper, and the other is the concierge.

This old eunuch is one of them.

So he thought that Lu Wenzhong expressed his true thoughts now.

The current Lu Wang is like being roasted on fire.

"The Empress Dowager forced our prince to take office, which was actually to let our prince die."

"How do you say this?"

"Our prince is just a prince Anle. He has never even read a book. How can he have the ability to govern the world? Our prince still has self-knowledge of this.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue were well-known treacherous ministers, and the people hated them to grit their teeth. Emperor Hongguang, who said he was the emperor, was actually the one who was influenced by these two people as puppets. Now these two people only need four hundred soldiers, and there is no one at all. They only talk big about the country, and they have no practical skills. Once the Qing Dynasty comes, our prince has figured it out. These two people will definitely hand over our prince to obediently to gain the capital for his surrender in the Qing Dynasty."

Then he smiled slightly: "Although our prince has never read a book, he is not stupid. Our prince can see these little tricks clearly. This is why they repeatedly persuaded us to go in and we are not willing to do anything."

Lu Wenzhong smiled and nodded: "The prince is indeed a smart person."

"But why didn't the prince go directly to the prince?"

The eunuch shouted: "First of all, our prince is considered the grandfather of the current crown prince in terms of seniority. Once he defects to the crown prince, how should the crown prince arrange it?"

This is a realistic problem. You can't be named the Supreme Emperor.

"Also, although the prince is the nominal prince's ruler and the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty, anyone who understands a little bit clearly knows that the real mastery of power there is the Regent."

This Lu Wang can understand this clearly.

"And the national policy that the regent promoted in Shandong was that the princes of the Ming Dynasty no longer enjoyed land, only received a pitiful salary, and had to have an errand. For example, the current King of Jinan."

Lu Wenzhong smiled. In fact, in his heart and the people of the world, I don’t know how to agree with such a policy.

"However, our prince is used to enjoying it. Just the prince's salary that year, to be honest, is not enough for him to chew fruit for three or two days. Then the salary will be gone, what should I do if the rest of my life?"

"What you always say is right. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to simple. I think our prince really can't live the hard life of the future."

"So, our prince cannot go to Shandong. He can only turn the gold and silver into jewelry, and then carry it to continue running south. There is no way out, so he just ran overseas."

Lu Wenzhong got a lot of information in such a conversation, and it was really a waste of time today.

So he pretended to be concerned and asked: "Then won't you run with the prince?"

The old eunuch smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the prince runs away, he will never have any business income. I guess he can't afford to support us. Besides, I'm old. Although I can't return to my roots and bury it in my ancestral grave, no matter how I die, I will eventually die in the Central Plains. So I'll be satisfied. So please help me and exchange my accumulated family fortune for the years with a silver note from Shandong. Then I will go to the paradise in Shandong, recognize my godson, contract dozens of acres of land, and spend the rest of my life."

At this time, Lu Wenzhong already understood: In fact, when you see King Lu later, you don’t have to take the risk to assassinate him. You mainly use words to scare him, and he will never be fooled by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue.

From the mouth of this old eunuch, it is enough to show that the fleeing small court has already lost its tree and has no threat to its Tianji Mansion.

But it’s good, take this opportunity to blackmail the prince again.

After all, every time I sell him the jewelry, the price is higher than the ones auctioned in Macau.

Now, what the Shandong mint lacks is silver, so I have made great contributions now.

The two of them were muttering quietly, and then they heard a sharp message from the little eunuch from the yard: "Send off the guests--"

Then there was a murmuring sound of boots in the yard.

The old eunuch ran out to see off the guests quickly.

When they arrived at the door, the old eunuch said lukewarmly: "You two, go slowly."

Then he heard a cold snorkeling: "No sending."

Then Lu Wenzhong saw two officials wearing second-rank robes in the crack of the door, with a gloomy face and angrily left.

When he returned to the house, the old eunuch told him about it again.

Lu Wenzhong stood up: "Let's just tell me how many you have, I promise to do it for you."

The old eunuch smiled and said, "I have saved 560,000 taels of silver over the years."

Lu Wenzhong patted his chest and promised: "This is nothing. I happen to have these amounts of silver notes at home. When I go back, you will move this thing to my car."

Then he picked up the box: "Please inform me."

The old eunuch was extremely happy: "What else can I tell you? I'll take you in right now."

Then, Lu Wenzhong was led to Lu Wang's inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is an extremely exquisite garden. Just in front of a delicate rockery, there are a pile of meat mountains lying on a huge chair.

This is King Lu.

Now he was covering his head, sighing.

After Lu Wenzhong met him, he took out his two gems.

King Lu glanced at it and said, "The thing is good, please tell me the price."

Lu Wenzhong almost quoted the price by using a lion's mouth.

King Lu didn't even refute, and then told him: "If you still have this more careful thing in your hand, just take it over and I will accept it all."

After discussing the deal, Lu Wenzhong expressed concern: "I see the prince sighing with grief. Is there any difficulty?"

King Lu shouted: "After all the matter is clear, I won't hide it from you. It's not that the two treacherous slander Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue are coming to force me again. They want to use this king for a good price for them."

Lu Wenzhong said, "Then why doesn't the prince escape from their clutches?"

King Lu sighed: "I think so, but the world is so big that there is no place for our descendants of the Zhu family."

He was right. When bandits were rampant in the past, anyone who broke out would catch the descendants of the Zhu family and chop their heads to express their position and use this method to call on the people.

Later, the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains and killed millions of the descendants of the Zhu family in order to eliminate hidden dangers.

Now the descendants of the old Zhu family are just rats crossing the street and everyone shouts to beat them.

Lu Wenzhong's eyes rolled: "If I arrange a place for the prince to ensure that I can enjoy the peace of life in the future, would the prince be willing?"

When Lu Wang heard this, he grabbed Lu Wenzhong's hand with agility that was inconsistent with the fat man. He grabbed it so tightly, just like a drowning man grabbed a life-saving straw.

"If there is such a place, I will give you my royal palace."

So on a dark and windy night, several heavy ships quietly drove out from Hangzhou City and sailed directly to Macau.

From then on, there was a rich fat man in Macau. His descendants no longer enjoyed the fruits of their descendants. They used the massive amount of funds in their hands to start doing business, and their descendants reproduced for hundreds of years.

When Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue came to the door again the next day, they discovered that the Lu Wang Mansion had already changed its owner.

After a long time of stasis, he could only walk away in disgrace.
