"Liu Chun, I just inquired."

Xu Zengshou ran to Liu Chun's residence again and said as soon as he met, "At the banquet yesterday, no nobles challenged you, but someone was defeated by them first!"

Xu Zengshou burst out with a big piece of information, but found that Liu Chun was not interested, and seemed to have known it for a long time.

"Someone told you?"

Liu Chun chuckled and said, "Even if no one told me that Lan Yong was there, I am not a fool. It must be his father who asked him to come to the scene. I owe Duke Liang again!" Liu Chun sighed and owed the kindness of a big man, and it was very difficult to make it happen. As the saying goes, a scholar who died for his confidant, he must sacrifice his life when necessary.

But Liu Chun did not have this awareness at all.

Blue Jade?

I just gave him a book and I just passed it down. Do you really think I owe you what I owe?

Liu Chun was indeed a little swelling. Since he met Lao Zhu several times and successfully played Emperor Hongwu, he has been floating... Xu Zengshou sat opposite him and chuckled, "It would be nothing if it were Duke Liang, it would be a pity. It's another one. You owe a favor to the great man!"

Xu Zengshou said with a slight smile, obviously wanting to see Liu Chun's good show.

...

Just as Xu Zengshou visited Liu Chun, Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, also put on court clothes and prepared to hand over the sign to see Zhu Yuanzhang... After coming out of the main room, he happened to pass by a spacious and bright hall, and smoke was floating out of it. This building similar to a Buddhist temple did not worship any Buddha statues.

On the shrine, there is a curved iron plate, shaped like a tiles, and many neat handwritings are engraved on it... This iron plate is the legendary iron voucher for the alchemy book, also known as the gold medal for avoiding death!

As a founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Zhongheng naturally had one! This is His Majesty’s promise to their Lu family. Apart from treason, there is no need to care about other crimes.

With this iron scroll in there, Lu Zhongheng was not afraid of anything.

What's more, his son married a princess and had double insurance, so what else was he worried about?

The other party is just a small experience official, not an amazing big shot. Although he did some things and made a splash, what does it matter! He is a long-time general who has been through decades of life and death. He has countless friends in Beijing. Although he is not as good as the Xu family and the Lan family, he is also a top honorary sect and cannot be underestimated.

Riding on the war horse, Lu Zhongheng suddenly felt a sudden heartbeat. He was very panicked and very blocked. In short, it was not very comfortable. And the more he thought about Liu Chun’s affairs, the more panicked he became...

"It's really ridiculous. I am a founding hero and the emperor's children and in-laws, and I'm worried about a boy who is still not dry. If it is spread, it won't make people laugh!"

Lu Zhongheng laughed at himself, and then he turned his mind toward the palace without hesitation.

It was particularly smooth to enter the palace. He handed over the sign directly, and immediately Zhu Yuanzhang invited him in. Today, Emperor Hongwu seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

"Just just now, the prince came and told me that he would select several envoys to go to the vassal states to choose imperial edicts, and ask them to send envoys to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival to participate in my birthday."

Lao Zhu’s birthday is September 18th, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, more than a month in advance. It seems that time is quite good, but in fact, he has to learn national etiquette. Liu Chun has done so many tricks, including commodity trading, big and small business, more than a month, I’m afraid it’s not enough.

Seeing that the emperor took the initiative to mention the birthday ceremony, Lu Zhongheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it has been decades since Your Majesty lifted the three-foot sword, established a foundation and swept the Yuan Dynasty. My Ming Dynasty is now booming, with abundant resources and people, and the people are healthy and happy, and the world is peaceful. Giving Your Majesty a grand birthday ceremony can just show the filial piety of the subjects. Inviting foreign vassals to come, and then swearing the power of heaven and showing the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty is really a good thing to win multiple goals!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled, "So, do you agree with the birthday celebration?"

Lu Zhongheng suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, blushing with excitement.

"Your Majesty! I not only agree, but also want to ask Your Majesty to allow me to hold the birthday ceremony for Your Majesty. I am willing to do my best to make the birthday ceremony grand and grand, and repay Your Majesty's holy grace in case!"

After saying that, Lu Zhongheng was overwhelmed and waited for Lao Zhu to nod.

...

"...It's roughly this. It was the Hedong lion who took action and beat Lu Xian. Even the prince-consort was beaten. What do others dare to say?" Xu Zengshou said with a smile: "I didn't see that Liang Duke cares a lot about you. He actually sent his precious daughter to help... But you have to be careful, that girl is not easy to mess with, stay away from her if you have nothing to do!"

"It's her!"

Liu Chun instantly remembered the hero of the middle school girl who was holding yellow and green on the left. Because Miss Lan was wearing men's clothing yesterday, she stood next to Lan Yong, and just took a look, Liu Chun did not recognize her.

But after hearing Xu Zengshou's introduction, Liu Chun expressed his agreement... what he said was too reasonable!

...

"You get up first."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree immediately, but asked Lu Zhongheng to calm down and gave him another seat.

"You want to maintain the birthday ceremony, I want to ask you what you plan to do? Are there any cases of abstinence?"

"Yes!" Lu Zhongheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, this birthday celebration is extraordinary. It must be grand and grand, otherwise how can you deserve the dignity of heaven? The old minister thought that you should not be afraid of spending money, but you should not spend money randomly. You must prepare at least three million yuan, and then recruit the people and build guests' residences by Xuanwu Lake. Then build a ten-meter stage on the lake... When your Majesty's birthday is over, all envoys will watch the show together, the military and civilians will have fun, and celebrate all night."

When Lu Zhongheng saw Zhu Yuanzhang listening seriously, he became even more excited. "Your Majesty, I think I will build two large dragon boats specifically, and the imperial roads in the capital have also been renovated. Lights are decorated everywhere, which is more lively than the New Year."

After hearing Lu Zhongheng's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in silence, "If you do this, three million is not enough!"

Lu Zhongheng immediately said: "I was established in the Ming Dynasty for twenty years, and the treasury is full. Even if I have more money, I can still take it out. Your Majesty's Holy Life is extraordinary. If you lose your dignity, the ministers who handle it will really deserve to die!"

When Lu Zhongheng saw that Lao Zhu seemed to be unhappy, he gritted his teeth again. Such a good opportunity would be better than to achieve his goals in one battle!

"Your Majesty, if you are worried about spending too much, I think you can allocate some money from the bank."

"bank!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a bright eye. He had been studying for a long time.

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

Lu Zhongheng said: "Your Majesty, I think I can issue some new coins, and... can I order the treasure money in the hands of the people to be deposited into the bank. The court will collect old coins and issue new coins according to a 100% discount... In this way, the expenses of the birthday celebration will be gained."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with his nose, then got up and took two steps, and suddenly mocked: "When the expenses are available, my country will be in chaos!"

"ah!"

Lu Zhongheng seemed to have not understood and froze.

"If new money is issued indiscriminately, the currency value will plummet. If ten or one is used, the people will be robbed of all wealth and the people will not be able to make a living... The court has lost its credit and the people will lose their wealth... The next step is to dig out a one-eyed stone man, and all the people in the world will come to make my rebellion?"

"ah!"

Lu Zhongheng hurriedly knelt down and kept sweating from his temples and forehead.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The old minister has no intention. Please be careful and observe!"

Zhu Yuanzhang circled around Lu Zhongheng twice and suddenly said, "You are just suggesting that I will not blame you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Zhongheng kowtowed and heard an echo from the hall. He was scared by Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden turn against him.

"You are also my hero, a long-time general in the court. How could I take your anger with you just because of a few words!"

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Your Majesty is as kind as the heavens. I am so shattered to pieces, it is hard to repay you!" Lu Zhongheng didn't think about anything, but only asked Zhu Yuanzhang to leave in his past contributions.

Obviously, he was thinking too much.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just started, so where could he let him go?

"Lu Zhongheng, Marquis of Ji'an! I have always rewarded you for your contributions to the country... You have a lot of money in recent years, right?"

"This... I am willing to offer five, ten, and ten thousand treasures of treasure! For the purpose of a longevity certificate!" Lu Zhongheng planned to lose money and avoid disaster.

"One hundred thousand guan? But it's a lot!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell down and said angrily: "Lu Zhongheng! Since you have 100 thousand guan, why don't you deposit it in the bank? Are you worried that I will take your money? Or... the money is not from the right way?"

There was a layer of frost on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and Lu Zhongheng felt goosebumps all over his body. He wanted to give himself two mouths.

Is there anyone as stupid as me in this world?

Why did you fall into the trap?

What is the difference between being aware of the bank's affairs and seeking death?

Lu Zhongheng was anxious and frightened, speechless.

At this moment, a eunuch took Liu Chun around the back of the imperial throne in the hall. Zhu Biao was sitting here. He made a ban on Liu Chun's voice and then let Liu Chun sit next to him.

After Liu Chun sat down, Zhu Biao smiled and said with a voice that the two could hear, "Watch the show!"

Just as Liu Chun finished the work, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "I really want to know, why are you afraid of banks?"
