Jinling.

The city gate.

Big fat Zhu Gaochi is waiting eagerly.

Behind him were Jin Zhong, Jian Yi, Gu Zuo and other Jiuqing giants.

When ordinary people saw such a big scene, they couldn't help but wonder.

Who is this coming? His Highness the Crown Prince leads the nine ministers to greet him in person!

I'm afraid there is no one else but His Majesty the Emperor who can receive such courtesy, right?

But didn’t His Majesty the Emperor just inspect Peiping?

Then this person is coming...

Is it possible...

While everyone was speculating, dust suddenly rose in the distance, and a group of cavalry came galloping towards them.

When Big Fatty saw the burly man at the head from a distance, his fat face suddenly showed joy.

"Everyone is here, but it's been a long wait!"

Jian Yi didn't waste any time and shouted loudly: "Get ready - let go!"

The next moment, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were noisy, which aroused the curiosity of the people.

When they saw the face of the visitor clearly, they burst into cheers.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw the movement in front of him, he couldn't help but rein in his horse and stop.

"Nie Xing, what's going on? You didn't arrange it, did you?"

The leader of Luowang twitched his mouth and said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, I'm not that boring."

The posture was just like that of a newlywed daughter-in-law returning to her parents' home, with all the firecrackers being used.

Vulgar, vulgar, totally vulgar.

Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and came closer. When he saw the fat and fat people with happy faces, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

This big fat guy is hard to dislike!

Prince Han immediately got off his horse and gave the prince a bear hug.

"Prince, we haven't seen you for a few years. Have you gained weight again?"

Big Fatty: “???”

fat?

You are the fat one!

Can you speak?

Everyone says I've lost weight!

Zhu Gaochi glanced at him resentfully, and then complained: "It's not because of you, Prince Han!"

"Originally, your eldest brother and I were resting in the East Palace, but because you were causing trouble in Peiping, the emperor took me out to continue handling government affairs. I was extremely busy day by day, and naturally I gained weight again..."

This is not really a complaint from Big Fatty, but that is exactly what happened.

He was so happy to lay his corpse in the East Palace, but because his second son suddenly left for Peiping and kept making trouble in Peiping, the emperor was tired of wiping his second son's butt, so he simply sent him, the crown prince, again Carry it out.

The government and state affairs last a whole day, and I sit like this every day. It would be strange if I didn't gain weight!

When Zhu Gaoxu heard these complaints, he felt dumbfounded.

So even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty didn't do anything. Who could stand to review piles of memorials every day?

"Okay, after all, you are the prince, who will do these things if you don't do them?"

"Second brother, you've finally come back, why don't you help the elder brother for a few days? The elder brother hasn't practiced swordsmanship for a long time..."

"Get out! No need to practice anymore, you are already a bitch!"

Big Fatty: "!!!"

The two brothers chatted quietly, while Jin Zhong and other ministers were frightened.

It's still a familiar scene, it's still a familiar smell, Prince Han is still as arrogant and domineering as ever, and he dares to say anything.

But looking at the two brothers chatting and laughing, Jin Zhongjianyi and other veterans felt even more gratified.

Previously, because the King of Han suddenly left the new capital of Peiping, various rumors were rampant in the government and the public. In particular, there were several versions of the theory that the Crown Prince was at odds with the Prince of Han and forced him to leave the capital.

Now that the two brothers have talked like this, those rumors have naturally been disproven.

There are no strong enemies externally and internal stability is the guarantee for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi excitedly pulled Zhu Gaoxu and prepared to go in, but the latter pulled his fat hand away.

"I won't go in. I want to wait for someone here."

Everyone: "???"

What?

Not going in?

I've been waiting for you for so long and you didn't even enter the city gate?

Big Fatty's face changed, as if he had thought of something.

"Second brother, are you coming back this time...Jiangnan?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and did not hide anything from the prince.

"Well, I'm going to Jiangnan as ordered by the Holy Spirit."

The King of Han went to Jiangnan!

Hearing the news, the fat man's face almost turned green.

Of course he wants to know what the second child is doing in Jiangnan!

Zhou Chen, the younger brother of the King of Han, was tricked by the gentry in Jiangnan not long ago. Now the King of Han is preparing to go to Jiangnan in person without stopping...

What to do?

Go and support this little brother, and kill him till he bleeds like a river!

The prince has always understood the temper of his second-in-command, especially this guy who has always hated the powerful gentry. If he goes to Jiangnan, he is afraid that he will kill everyone and leave mountains of corpses!

What's more, he still "went to Jiangnan on the holy order"!

The second child is already arrogant, domineering and lawless, but now that he has obtained the imperial edict and has the support of the old man behind him, he may act even more unscrupulously!

For a moment, the prince seemed to have witnessed the brutal scene of Han King Zhu Gaoxu bloodbathing the entire Jiangnan.

"Second brother, Jiangnan is the fundamental lifeblood of the imperial court's finances and taxation. You must not do anything wrong!"

"What nonsense?" Zhu Gaoxu chuckled when he heard this, "If we don't do anything nonsense, Jiangnan will no longer belong to the Ming Dynasty, and will become an independent kingdom of those powerful gentry!"

"What nonsense is this 'financial and taxation center'? The imperial court's tax collection in Jiangnan is far less than half that of ordinary state capitals, and the problem of official land in Jiangnan has reached a point where it has to be solved!"

"I have told you about this problem a long time ago, but you have never paid attention to it. Even if I recommended Zhou Chen to investigate the matter thoroughly, it would be fine if you did not fully support it. Instead, you just sat back and watched him being framed and reduced to a prisoner..."

To be honest, Prince Han was full of disappointment at the moment, disappointed with the court and the prince.

He told the prince more than once about the official land issue in Jiangnan and the land annexation issue in Jiangnan. He told the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty more than once.

However, it was of no use.

The people in Jiangnan were still starved of food and clothing, and the central court still could not collect the scheduled taxes, and even had the Minister of Household Affairs go to Jiangnan in person. The gentry in Jiangnan still lived a luxurious life of drunkenness, singing and dancing, and even found time to frame the court. The imperial minister dispatched to demonstrate his ownership of Jiangnan...

This is definitely wrong!

"Prince, you are looking forward and backward, fearing this and that, but you are at a disadvantage."

"After Emperor Taizu Gao established the Ding Dynasty, Jiangnan was not as arrogant. UU Reading www.uuknshu.net dared to challenge the imperial court? Do you still remember what Emperor Taizu Gao did?"

Big Fatty was startled when he heard this and didn't know how to answer.

He opened his mouth to argue, but in the end he sighed helplessly.

Zhu Gaoxu patted him on the shoulder and read out Comrade Zhu Chongba's classic poem.

"Killed all the millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on his waist was still bloody!"

"The mountain monk doesn't know the hero, so he only asks for his name."

"If you don't accept it, then kill him until he accepts it!"

Everyone was silent after hearing this, and looked at the Han prince in silence.

For a moment, they seemed to see the figure of Emperor Taizu Gao in this Han prince.

At this time, a prison car drove slowly not far away, and there were many Yamen policemen beside it.

The head catcher was sighing that he finally arrived in the capital and could see with his own eyes the prosperity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

However, when he came closer, he was almost frightened out of his wits.

The prince, the prince of Han, a group of crimson and purple ministers...

What are they doing at the city gate?

Are all the big guys meeting here now?

Could it be that they came to greet me?

The catcher's calves were almost weak, and he didn't even have the courage to come forward and talk to him, so he fell to his knees on the ground.

The biggest official he has ever seen is the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture.

But in front of this group of people, the prefect of Suzhou is nothing!

Zhu Gaoxu slowly walked towards the prison car, with veins popping out on his hands.

When Zhou Chen was appointed as the Imperial Envoy and was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River, how high-spirited and outstanding was he?

But now, the prisoner in front of him is unkempt, with disheveled hair and dull eyes...who is he if he isn't Zhou Chen?

Seeing his little brother being bullied like this, Zhu Gaoxu was on the verge of rage.

"Zhou Chen, I am here to support you!"
