Chapter 954 The Prince spares his life

Capital City, Imperial Palace, Xiefang Palace.%Chinese% Novels

Jin Gui had just finished teaching the prince, but before he could leave, he was already caught by Zhu Houzhao. Jin Gui was very strange.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have something unspeakable. She looked at her left back and took Jin Gui to a corner where no one was. She said mysteriously: "Mr. Jin, has Mr. Chen given you recently... that martial arts novel? My books were confiscated by my father, and now I have no one on hand."

After confiscating the prince's idle books, Emperor Hongzhi mentioned this incident by chance during his lecture on the Seminar Day, and ordered the lecturers of the Eastern Palace to teach the prince well and not to tell anything outside the classroom during the lecture.

Jin Gui had helped Chen Xi send martial arts novels to Zhu Houzhao several times before, but he was a person who knew how to protect himself. When he was in such a panic, he was neither willing to give Chen Xi out so that he could also be implicated, nor would he do such things again to avoid causing trouble.

Jin Gui said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Shen Hanlin is far southeast, more than a thousand miles away from the capital? Even if there are letters and... books, it will take two or three months to go."

Zhu Houzhao said annoyedly: "I know that it's far away. If it's close, I'll sneak out of the palace to find him. There's no need to ask you."

The naughty child regarded Jin Gui, who often gave books, as his "his own person". In desperation, he actually said what he thought, which surprised Jin Gui... The prince actually said he wanted to sneak out of the palace. If this was confirmed, even if he "knowsome and does not report it", he would take responsibility.

If the prince had a short life outside the palace, he might have to spend all his life.

Jin Gui quickly advised: "The prince must not leave the palace gate, outside the palace wall... it is very dangerous."

"I know, if I leave the palace, who might be sold. Uh, Mr. Jin, have you brought the money?" Zhu Houzhao asked suddenly blinked.

Jin Gui was about to touch the wallet in his pocket, but suddenly realized that it was useless for the prince to get the money, unless the prince really wanted to leave the palace. Jin Gui said: "Crown Prince, I entered the palace in a hurry and did not bring the money."

Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you two like this? It's so difficult to borrow some money from you... Then next time you enter the palace, please help me with two taels... Oh no, twenty taels of silver! Just think it's your loan, and I'll pay it back twice as much in the future. I'll write you an IOU, with 30% interest per month, and 9% off and 13 returns. Do you think it's okay? Or 40% off a monthly interest rate."

Jin Gui was stunned when he heard this. Is this the noble prince who grew up in the deep palace and never came into contact with the colorful world outside?

How come it sounds like a gangster in the city!

I borrowed money to write an IOU, and I had 30% interest per month, and I also knew that nine out of thirteen returns... These could not be told by the lecturer of the East Palace, that is, the prince learned from the eunuchs or palace maids. Jin Gui thought to himself: "Most palace people come from the market, and know a lot about the market, maybe they said they knew about it with the prince."

Zhu Houzhao said, "Hey, Mr. Jin, is it OK? If you don't say anything, I will think you agree."

Jin Gui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Prince may not know that I have only exchanged my monthly salary of rice for only six or seven taels of silver. There is still a high-ranking house to support me, and there is also..."

"There are eighty high halls above and hungry children below, so I beg me to let you go, right?" Zhu Houzhao asked angrily.

Jin Gui was stunned again.

Where did the prince learn about these messy things? But after careful consideration, it seemed that he was going to express exactly what he meant.

Zhu Houzhao was very angry: "Mr. Jin regarded me as a thief in martial arts novels. His words were the same as those who were not good-looking businessmen. Humph, I thought Mr. Jin would help me, but who knew that he, his father, his eldest uncle, and his second uncle were in the same group!"

Jin Gui said: "Your Highness, I really can't afford so much money. If the prince is in urgent need of it, you might as well follow His Majesty and the Queen..."

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Mr. Jin, I respect you as a sir. If you dare to tell my father and mother about this, I will... I will dismantle you. Even if I can't, when I become the emperor, I will execute you and dismember you!"

The naughty child gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his tone was very certain, which made Jin Gui secretly startled: "I had helped Brother Chen to deliver books and gadgets to the prince before, but why did he raise grudges and actually wanted to execute me Lingchi? Is there such unreasonable thing as a student in the world?"

But who said that being unreasonable is the royal privilege? Although Jin Gui was angry, he still said carefully: "Don't worry, the prince, I will not talk nonsense."

"That's good."

Zhu Houzhao was extremely proud. This trick of coercion and temptation was proven to be successful in Zhang Yanling. Today, he was also very effective in dealing with Jin Gui, which made him feel that what Chen Xi taught him was the truth. "Next time, I will bring some money, not twenty taels, as much as I can bring. I will borrow it from you. In the future, I will become the emperor and you will be the senior official, so... you can choose the prince's tutor. If you don't bring it, I will search your house and exterminate the clan. You can do it!"

Jin Gui understood it now. After all, Zhu Houzhao was borrowing money from him.

He didn't know what the prince should do to borrow money, but one thing is certain, that is, there is no good thing. It is wiser not to borrow money now than to borrow money. Otherwise, he would not have been confiscated in the future and he would have been killed in a few days.

Jin Gui said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the lower lord knows how to do it."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and ran towards the bedroom excitedly.

As soon as the person left, Jin Gui couldn't help but wiped his cold sweat.

Originally, being able to get along with the prince alone and let the prince give him a face-to-face gift was an honor as a minister. Maybe he could become the prince's confidant and be the most powerful minister in the future, but now Jin Gui feels cold back.

The first thing Jin Gui did after leaving the palace was to go home, but instead of preparing the money, he wrote a letter saying that he had sex and asked someone to send it to Zhan Shi Mansion.

It is related to my wealth and life. I can't afford to offend me, I can't always hide. Prince, you can't chase me to come to my mansion to borrow money, right?

...

...

Zhu Houzhao discussed borrowing money with Jin Gui, so he returned to the bedroom, took out paper and pen to start writing.

The letter was written to Chen Xi. The naughty child was ready to "run away from home". The thirteen-year-old Zhu Houzhao was in the rebellious period of youth. At this moment, he was tired of the boring life in the palace. He wanted to go outside to see and experience the world that Chen Xi told in martial arts novels.

It is mainly to escape from the shackles of my father and mother.

"The sea is wide and the fish leaps high and the birds fly. Mr. Chen is right. No wonder he wants to become an official in the southeast. How free is he left the capital?"

Several eunuchs came up to drag Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan was very strong, so even the eunuchs couldn't drag him away.

Zhang Yuan was anxious and was already covered in secret because he was a grown-up purgatory. At this moment, he suddenly became urinated and there was a pool of more on the ground. Zhu Houzhao quickly covered his nose and said, "What the hell is this?"

Several eunuchs hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. Zhang Yuan took the opportunity to break free and knelt down and said, "Crown Prince, please spare me, please spare me!"
