Chapter 357: Alliance Under the City
Today is the day when Ma Su goes to the country test. Fang Xing, who likes to sleep in lately, wakes up early in the morning.
"Teacher, the disciple has gone."
Ma Su bowed respectfully.
Fang Xing rubbed his face, and said: "Everyone agrees that your essay is good, and you have a lot of advantages over others, that is the breadth of knowledge, relax, go."
"Yes, the disciple should do his best to live up to the teacher's teaching."
This is the third match, so Fang Xing asked Xin Laoqi to deliver it himself.
"Lao Qi, after sending Ma Su off, go to the household department and wait. I have something to do there today."
After Albugue left yesterday, Fang Xing passed the news to Zhu Zhanji, so today will be the final negotiation.
"I have to go, otherwise that kid will be fooled."
Zhang Shuhui grimaced, and wiped Fang Xing's face vigorously with the towel in her hand.
"Oh! You mother-in-law, this is trying to murder a relative... Hey! Just wipe it lightly, this is your face, not..."
"There's eye shit!"
Zhang Shuhui handed the towel to Xiao Bai, and then helped Fang Xing change.
Fang Xing's face was rubbed red, and he made a serious look at Xiao Bai who was gloating beside him, and then said: "It's enough to wear comfortable clothes, it's not like being a groom!"
After Zhang Shuhui tidied up his clothes, she glanced sideways and said, "If you are capable, the husband will find a second wife to come into the house, and the concubine will live with Xiaobai in the wing room."
Xiao Bai waved his small fist and said, "Well, when the time comes, I will bring the bell and rhubarb and live with the madam instead of the young master."
Fang Xing knew that he couldn't reason with a woman, so he quickly greeted her and got out of the way.
"Husband, come back early."
woman! Always worry about gains and losses like this!
Fang Xing turned around and gave a bright smile, waved his hand, and left the inner courtyard.
When she couldn't see Fang Xing's back, Zhang Shuhui said with a sense of loss, "Xiaobai, ask Huaniang to prepare some light medicinal food."
...
Because of Qiu Wei, the city of Jinling was a little more lively, and those storytellers were also making fun of it, telling stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, which made those students who didn't win the exam willingly pay for tea money.
Fang Xing came all the way to the household department, Zhu Zhanji had already arrived, and was talking to Xia Yuanji about this summer's harvest.
After seeing Fang Xing, Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "De Hua is here, your health is not good, why don't you let His Highness try it yourself today."
Fang Xing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant, His Highness should try it too."
The two talked like they were playing charades, and Zhu Zhanji vaguely knew that it was related to him.
After Xia Yuanji left, Fang Xing didn't need him to ask, but explained: "Master Xia means to let you get in touch with more political affairs, that's fine...it's okay, that's what it means."
In fact, Xia Yuanji's words have another meaning: If you let your grandson stand up earlier, who will stare at you then?
But how old is Zhu Zhanji? Moreover, there are Zhu Di and the prince on top of him. If he dares to take the lead, the situation in the court will definitely change drastically.
The final change is definitely not good for Zhu Zhanji!
After the two went in and sat down, Fang Xing took a small bundle from Xin Laoqi's hand, then waved his hand, and immediately there was no one in the room.
"I heard that you have a lot of women?"
Fang Xing asked with a frown.
Most people dare not ask this question, nor are they qualified to ask it.
Zhu Zhanji blushed, "Brother Dehua, who... who said it! My little brother is keeping himself clean..."
Fang Xing said contemptuously: "I've made it clear to you, how old are you? Be careful not to die young!"
Zhu Zhanji died too early in the original history. He handed over the huge country to the prince who was only a few years old, and had to let his mother, who is now the princess, take charge of the government.
Tumubao ah!
Thinking of this place name, Fang Xing felt his teeth itch with hatred, so he stared at Zhu Zhanji and said, "I have to rely on you for the rest of my leisure life, so take it easy!"
Zhu Zhanji's complexion was dark, but Fang Xing's words turned out to be rosy in the dark.
After unpacking the package, he looked at the small porcelain bottles and asked in wonder, "Brother Dehua, what are these?"
"Cod liver oil, and some miscellaneous supplements, there are notes on them, go back and take them according to the instructions."
"Stop quibbling!."
Seeing that Zhu Zhanji wanted to argue, Fang Xing said bluntly: "You are young and you are still growing up! Take it easy."
Zhu Zhanji recalled that his bad reputation had reached Fang Xing's ears, and couldn't help recalling his recent life, and then felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, the Oirat envoy is here."
Fortunately, the arrival of Albuquerque made Zhu Zhanji less embarrassed, and he said seriously: "Let him in."
Xin Laoqi and Xiaodao immediately stood behind Fang Xing. One was tall and burly, and the other was thin and thin. They looked a little strange.
As soon as Albuquero came in, he first bowed to Zhu Zhanji, and then Fang Xing again, with a very sincere attitude.
"The envoy sit down."
Fang Xing said hello, and then said to Zhu Zhanji in a low voice: "See clearly, this is the alliance under the city, kill me ruthlessly!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded slightly to indicate that he had received it, and after Albuquerque sat down, he asked, "Has the envoy considered it?"
It was Zhu Zhanji who spoke in person today?
Albuquerque glanced at Fang Xing, seeing that Fang Xing was resting with his eyes closed, he felt a little relieved.
"Your Highness, the grassland has suffered disasters this year. Do you think it can be reduced? After all, after our Oirats have been weakened, the Tatars may take the opportunity to... take advantage of it!"
Zhu Zhanji said with a blank face: "If Alutai dares to make any changes, I, Da Ming, will not stand by and watch!"
This rejection is really blunt!
Albugue was overjoyed, and made a sad look: "Your Highness, our department has lost more than half of its young men this year. If this compensation is made, I am afraid that this winter will not be able to survive!"
"I've also heard of Your Highness's name for your benevolence on the grassland. Here, I implore Your Highness to give you a little bit of your kindness to the Wala people, and then our department will be the screen fan of the Ming Dynasty forever."
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and when he was about to agree habitually, Fang Xing coughed dryly.
Daming has always been kind to the vassal states, and once Albuquerque's words were a little weaker, it really had the effect.
Just when Arbugu was feeling happy, Fang Xing coughed dryly.
What's going on here? Can the majestic emperor and grandson of the Ming Dynasty be unable to decide on one thing?
Fang Xing opened his eyes, and said in a sleepy voice, "Made! I'm short of money!" Then he closed his eyes.
It's like sleepwalking!
Zhu Zhanji was taken aback, and immediately said: "Whether a vassal is not a vassal, it depends on the performance in the future, but now my Ming Dynasty expedition to the grassland has cost countless money and food. Messenger, the conditions cannot be changed!"
Made! This sinister fellow!
Seeing Fang Xing's appearance, Albuquerque couldn't help gritting his teeth secretly, but Zhu Zhanji said something next, which forced him to change his words.
"He and Ning Wang's people have already negotiated with me, Daming, and the ordnance will be transported to the grassland in the next few days!"
This sentence was the last straw, and Albuquero said bitterly: "Your Highness, can our department purchase Ming's ordnance?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Yes."
Albugue said dejectedly: "Your Highness, can the price be lowered? After all, Arutai is powerful!"
"One tenth less than the Tatars."
Fang Xing had already opened his eyes, and after Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he stared at Albugu and said, "Go back and tell Mahamu, and also tell Mahamu's children and grandchildren, I, Daming, am not your cattle and sheep!"
Zhu Zhanji also said in high spirits: "My Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, the envoy will go back and tell King Shunning, so that he can do it himself!"
