In the early morning of the 4th, my five-month-old daughter suddenly had a high fever. My wife and I carried her to the hospital in the middle of the night. After struggling all night, we really had no energy left. As a result, this book was not guaranteed to be updated late in the year, and it was not updated at all, which Ahu really didn't want to see.
Here, Ahu can only apologize to the readers.
It is not my wish to break up, but when I have a child, emergencies often occur, so please forgive me.
Ahu thanked you! ¡ª¡ª
The crown prince of the American Song Empire has an audience!
Just when Wu Sangui led five thousand elites to break through, Zhao Hongyu, who was far away in the capital, also walked into the political center of the Ming Dynasty and into the ancient imperial city.
When Eunuch Xue found him, Zhao Hongyu was also a little surprised.
Because he didn¡¯t expect that the summons would come so quickly.
In Zhao Hongyu¡¯s view, after he told Master Wang the condition, judging from the procrastination of Easterners, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to summon him, it would have to take a while.
Unexpectedly, I asked Master Wang to speak in the morning, but he was summoned in the evening.
Zhao Hongyu was surprised at the speed of the Ming court this time, but he also deduced from this that Ming Dynasty was really short of money now.
No need to think about it, the reason why the reaction was so fast this time must be for the sake of five million taels of silver.
Otherwise, who would care about a person like him who came from nowhere.
"You are said to be a descendant of Zhao and Song Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty will not take you seriously at all."
The people who rule the Central Plains now are the Zhu Ming Dynasty.
Along the way, Eunuch Xue explained to Zhao Hongyu some of the rules and taboos about meeting the emperor, and looked at the young crown prince Zhao Hongyu from time to time.
To be honest, Eunuch Xue doesn¡¯t know where America is. He has never even heard of it.
But this can¡¯t be blamed on him. Judging from the knowledge of people in this era, it is not surprising at all that they don¡¯t know the American continent.
In the seventeenth century, the exploration of the world by Easterners was far less advanced than that of Europeans.
Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t take it seriously at all as Eunuch Xue kept sizing him up. And Zhao Hongyu also knew that in this era, especially the Eastern Ming Dynasty, he still could not offend eunuchs.
¡°After all, sometimes eunuchs can do bad things even though they can¡¯t do good things.
If you want to achieve your planned goals on Daming's side, you can't have any accidents or changes.
Therefore, for people like Eunuch Xue, it is better not to offend Zhao Hongyu if he can.
¡°Besides, these guys are not easy to deal with.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? may be polite, and I will give you enough money.
? Then everything is fine, right?
To do this, there is actually nothing difficult.
Zhao Hongyu has no shortage of money. It is more than enough to send such a eunuch.
¡°When it comes to equality and intersection, Zhao Hongyu can also do it.
As a person from modern times, how could Zhao Hongyu not be able to do this. It was difficult for the people of the Ming Dynasty, who had strict hierarchies, to communicate on an equal footing. After all, their environment and general atmosphere were different from those of modern times.
And some of the concepts accepted by people in this era do not even exist in terms of equality.
So, it is quite difficult for a group like eunuchs to get equal attention from people.
"Brother Xue, I have been away from the Central Plains for a long time, and I don't understand some of the rules very well. I hope you can give me some advice when the time comes."
Eunuch Xue is over forty years old, so it is not wrong for Zhao Hongyu to call him big brother.
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s shouting was very natural, and there was no pretense or hypocrisy at all. This actually moved Eunuch Xue¡¯s heart.
To be honest, the eunuch is not a complete man.
Since they lost that piece, their psychology has become more or less distorted.
This is why the things the prison visitors do don¡¯t seem so normal.
In fact, they are just using another way to gain recognition from others.
It¡¯s just that such methods and methods seem a bit alternative or extreme.
In this era, who else can understand their inner world better than Zhao Hongyu.
?Yes, no more.
The world before Zhao Hongyu was all about equality and intersection.
¡°And he has only been in this era for a short time, just over three years.
The imprint of modern people has not been erased on Zhao Hongyu, which means that he has not been assimilated by this era.
Everything was revealed so naturally, and Eunuch Xue, who understands people's hearts, was naturally moved.
This call from Big Brother made his heart warm.
How many years has it been?
Since Eunuch Xue entered the palace as a young man, he is no longer a normal person.
Especially in a place like the palace.
Although his status gradually improved, he also understood very well that the reason why the courtiers were so polite when they saw him was just because he was the emperor's confidant.
¡°If one day he loses his power, none of these courtiers will take a chance on him.
But today, Eunuch Xue felt sincerely friendly towards the crown prince from the American continent.
Maybe it¡¯s because of the ¡®big brother¡¯ thing, or maybe it¡¯s because of Zhao Hongyu¡¯s unpretentiousness.
??????????????????????? It¡¯s been so many years, it¡¯s hard to hear such natural expressions of emotion and those words in the palace.
"I am afraid that I cannot bear the title of His Royal Highness."
Although he was very moved, Eunuch Xue still declined.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head, reached out and took Eunuch Xue's arm and said to him with a smile: "Brother, what you said is wrong. In our America, everyone is equal. I am also a human being. What should I do if I am also a human being?" It¡¯s incredible. Besides, I¡¯m older than me, so it¡¯s normal for me to call you ¡°big brother¡±. Even when ordinary people meet outside, isn¡¯t it the same way?¡±
The people are the people, but you are the crown prince of a country, and I am just a eunuch.
However, looking at Zhao Hongyu¡¯s smiling face and listening to his sincere words.
What else can Eunuch Xue say.
¡°It¡¯s a small thing, let me go out and have a cup of tea in my spare time.¡±
Zhao Hongyu stuffed a banknote without leaving a trace. The denomination of the banknote read 10,000 taels of silver.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What a generous act!
Eunuch Xue was really shocked.
¡°Normally, this is not the first time that Eunuch Xue has collected money. After all, he is someone who follows the emperor. Therefore, the ministers summoned by the emperor were often led by him.
Besides chatting along the way, it was just a good thing.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is often the eunuch Xue who makes the declaration of his resolution when he leaves the palace.
That benefit is even more merciless.
"However, Eunuch Xue has never seen anyone who can earn ten thousand taels of silver from a single move.
In normal times, the ministers offered him benefits, which was about one hundred taels.
There are so many pronouncements.
Unless the ministers have important matters and want to know some of the emperor's mood or life news from him, he will give more information.
But it didn¡¯t exceed five hundred taels of silver.
But when you think about it, it¡¯s not surprising at all.
"Who makes these ministers always think that they have nothing to do but cry out to others about their poverty?
Although all of them are actually very fat in private, and their families are basically wealthy people with vast hectares of fertile land, they are ministers above the court after all, and they always have to pretend to be poor to worry about their own image.
Eunuch Xue is also very clear about these.
But he is a eunuch. Although he is someone close to the emperor, he is more discerning.
He often thinks that his status is high now.
But the day he fails to protect everything, he will be in despair.
So, he basically won¡¯t offend anyone.
"Therefore, those people don't think it's too little money to give him. You can give it to me."
It¡¯s just that I complain in my heart that they are stingy.
Judging from Eunuch Xue¡¯s character, he is quite a good person.
¡°If this were placed in another time and space, if you gave such a small amount of money to the eunuchs around the emperor, would they want it?
What a joke, isn¡¯t this the same as sending someone begging for food?
Of course, one hundred taels of silver is actually quite a lot.
¡°As long as you think about the purchasing power of silver in this era, you can know the value of this one hundred taels.This amount of silver cannot be measured absolutely equivalent to modern banknotes. This is simply not correct.
You have to look at how many people can be fed and how many things can be bought with one tael of silver in this era.
It is simply wrong to simply convert the purchasing power into cash.
It is precisely because of this that the 10,000 taels of silver that Zhao Hongyu stuffed with him shocked Eunuch Xue.
"What makes this happen? These money villains are absolutely useless."
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Xue was frightened when the 10,000 taels of silver arrived.
Normally, he shouldn¡¯t be someone who has never seen big money. A mere ten thousand taels of silver is nothing.
Eunuch Xue declined, and of course it was impossible for Zhao Hongyu to really take it back.
It¡¯s nothing to take back the money you gave out.
¡°If Zhao Hongyu did this, then he would be very ignorant.
¡°Besides, ten thousand taels of silver is nothing to him.
It¡¯s just industrial silver.
"Brother, don't be polite to me. I will never bother you again. This time we returned to our ancestral homeland from the distant Americas. We don't know anyone here. We need someone to help us in such a large court. people¡¡"
Zhao Hongyu said to Eunuch Xue sincerely.
When Eunuch Xue heard this, he realized that this was human nature.
They, the descendants of Zhao and Song Dynasties, have been living overseas since their country was destroyed and their families were destroyed. Now they come back with a black eye.
Hattori Chizuru and Baron Roderny followed Zhao Hongyu, while Mrs. Wang followed him with her head lowered.
Zhao Hongyu and Eunuch Xue arrived outside Qinzheng Hall while talking.
Along the way, maybe because of the relationship between "old brother" and the 10,000 taels of silver, Zhao Hongyu and Eunuch Xue got a lot closer.
Eunuch Xue saw that Zhao Hongyu was quite young and was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he urgently explained a few things to pay attention to.
At the same time, he also quietly told him that he should be careful of the ministers in the court in the future, because he had already revealed his wealth.
Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood after hearing Eunuch Xue's explanation.
"His Royal Highness, please go in, the emperor is waiting for you inside. You will not go wrong if you respond carefully after entering. Don't walk around after leaving the palace, so as not to find opportunities for those greedy ministers."
Standing at the door of Qinzheng Hall, Eunuch Xue gave Zhao Hongyu serious instructions. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
