As soon as he entered, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by the golden splendor in front of him.
The first floor of Heavenly Earth was different from any restaurant he had ever seen.
There were no tables or chairs on the first floor. In the spacious hall, there were only some potted plants that were carefully placed.
There was a platform facing the door, and behind it stood a young and beautiful woman.
The floor was covered with exquisite tiles, and the patterns on it were clearly carved by a master.
Looking up again, a dragon head seemed to be poking out from the roof.
Just by looking at this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was even more luxurious than his palace.
"Boss, look, look, this Heavenly Earth was built by that bastard who plundered the wealth of the people.
Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?!!
Erhu, go to the nearby guard station now and get the soldiers to surround Quanzhou for us!”Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
Ever since the comparison video appeared.
It showed Zhu Chen's ruthlessness towards the vassal kings and what he had seen and heard since he came to Quanzhou.
She told him everything.
Zhu Chen, this bastard, was greedy, arrogant, and despotic. He had no respect for the law and was acting like a tyrant in Quanzhou!
He even dared to touch the Embroidered Uniform Guards we sent over!
This was a slap to his face!
Zhu Yuanzhang regretted not paying attention to Zhu Chen.
They only sent a team of Jinyiwei to monitor him, giving him the opportunity to develop into this state.
He saw the guards of the Prince's mansion and the gun that he had never seen before.
He even felt that if he had discovered it a few years later, this bastard would have been able to raise an army and invade the capital.
Fortunately, he had come. Then this bastard would never have a chance again!
It was an eagle!
First, break his wings, and the rest will be easy.
"Why didn't Erhu hear us?”
Erhu was helpless. He wanted to hear it, but the Crown Prince kept pulling him.
"Dad, calm down. Do you have some misunderstanding about Brother Chen?"
"Misunderstanding? Boss, didn't you see how arrogant and despotic the guards were? They fired their guns at the slightest disagreement?
There was also the looting of merchants 'money at the city gate? Furthermore, his Imperial Residence had violated the rules and the Heavenly Earth had been built so luxuriously.
Did we wrongly accuse him?" Zhu Yuanzhang widened his eyes.
He couldn't tell Biao Er what he wanted to do, so he could only find some excuse to deal with Zhu Chen.
Otherwise, this guy could really threaten Biao 'er's position.
Especially when compared to the huge benefits to the people in the video! Now, the hearts of the people were biased towards Zhu Chen.
He had no choice.
The throne can only be Biao 'er's. Don't even think about the rest!
Moreover, Zhu Chen was just an illegitimate son, so he didn't like him.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang had planned to meet Zhu Chen first.
However, after the new episode of the video was released, the intelligence displayed by that b * stard was not as good as before.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to underestimate his son.
That was something that even he couldn't see!
"Father, why don't we wait until tomorrow to see Brother Chen and hear his explanation?”
"There's nothing to hear. The truth is already in front of us! Xiao Hu, go quickly!"
"Yes, sir."
Erhu hurried out.
"This…" Zhu Biao was helpless. Er Hu was only loyal to his father. He could not command him.
At this moment, a graceful woman walked over.
"Esteemed guests, why are you standing here for so long?”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to talk to the woman, so Zhu Biao could only open the restaurant again.
"Are you the shopkeeper here?"
"Yo, I'm not. I'm the lobby manager. Are you guys staying in the hotel?”
"Yes, it is."
" Alright, follow me." The woman swayed her body and brought Zhu Yuanzhang and the others to the front desk.
" What kind of guest rooms would you like to stay in? We have three levels: one hundred taels, one thousand taels, and ten thousand taels," the woman said with a smile.
"What?! Are you robbing me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and annoyed.
Good heavens, 100 to 5,000 jin of rice, 10,000 to 50,000 jin of rice, 10,000 to 500,000 jin of rice!
Spending 500,000 jin of rice just to sleep for a night?
The woman's expression immediately turned cold when she heard this. She said,"If you think it's expensive, you can stay here.
This is wangye's business, don't get yourself into trouble."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned cold.
Wow, now even a servant dares to talk to me like this!
Just as he was about to fly into a rage, he was interrupted by a voice.
"Man Niang, I'm here again!"
"Aiyo, isn't this Boss Wang? Are you here to stock up again?”
" Haha, that's right. King Chen's goods are famous far and wide. I really want them. Same old rules. Arrange a 10,000 taels suite for me." Boss Wang took out a banknote and slapped it on the front desk.
Seeing this, the smile on Man Niang's face became even brighter.
"Okay, okay, okay. Xiao Cui, register for Boss Wang."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked coldly at this snobbish villain.
However, King Chen's goods?
What goods?
Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Biao a look, and Zhu Biao immediately took out 10,000 notes.
" Well, manager, let's have a set too." Zhu Biao placed the notes on the counter.
Man Niang's expression turned ugly, but she still said patiently.
"Esteemed guest, we don't accept banknotes."
"You don't accept money? This is also Great Ming's coin, why not accept it?”
"His Highness said that banknotes are no different from waste paper. We don't accept waste paper."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a cold expression on his face, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This bastard actually dared to say that our notes are waste paper!!!
This was simply preposterous!
Could Quanzhou have become a country within a country?
"You must be new here. Quanzhou only accepts gold and silver, or money from the king's mansion.
How about this, you can exchange this treasure note for silver notes with me. Is that okay?”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned ashen.
He now understood that Zhu Chen, this bastard, had been preparing to rebel!
He even dared to privately mint coins!
Seeing this, Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
Well, Brother Chen had added another crime to the list.
Then, Zhu Biao exchanged silver notes with Boss Wang and paid for the room.
Then, a follower led the way.
Only two or three of Zhu Yuanzhang's guards followed him. The rest could only go out and find another place.
It couldn't be helped. This place was really too expensive!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in the goods that Boss Wang had mentioned before.
So he took the initiative to talk,"Where is Boss Wang from?"
Boss Wang saw that these people were dressed in extraordinary clothes and wanted to make friends with them.
"Ah, I'm not from Shanxi Prefecture."
"Oh? Shanxi Prefecture? You're so far away, yet you still come here to do business?”Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised.
" Hai, you don't know, but Quanzhou produces snow salt. This thing is more valuable than gold, and it's even more profitable than the saltworks of the imperial court."
"Oh? This snow salt is actually produced in Quanzhou?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was calm, but his heart was burning with rage.
What a good King Chen! Selling salt without permission!
Just this alone was enough for him to confiscate the house!
Mr. Wang did not notice Old Zhu's anger and continued to speak frankly.
"You don't know, one tael of silver and one tael of snow salt can be sold for ten taels of silver in the capital. If you sell it to the north, the price can be doubled.
"Other than that, there's also the exclusive selling of the royal residence, and there's even clay powder. They're all good stuff." Boss Wang became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Mud powder? What's that?"
"Oh, the materials used to build the black road."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
The hard black road was actually made of a kind of powder?
Ever since he entered Quanzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his worldview had been refreshed.
All kinds of things that had never been seen before.
No wonder Quanzhou developed so quickly.
However, this was also unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Quanzhou is so prosperous, and I'm actually the last to know.
From this, Zhu Yuanzhang once again remembered the group of Jinyiwei who died tragically.
What a good King Chen, what a good Quanzhou!
At this moment, Boss Wang began to ask around.
"What business do you have in Quanzhou?”
"Ah, still thinking, still thinking"
Zhu Yuanzhang was immersed in anger, and Zhu Biao quickly responded.
"We can't think about that. I heard that the Prince of Chen isn't in Quanzhou today and will only come back tomorrow.
You may not know this, but this is not the first time that our Old Wang has come to Quanzhou. His Highness, the King of Chen, does business with the highest bidder.
"That scene was really spectacular. I'm very excited just thinking about it." Boss Wang was full of excitement.
Zhu Biao could only deal with it casually.
After a while, they arrived at the guest room and separated.
"Whoa!" The guards exclaimed again.
This guest room was really luxurious!
Soft chairs, exquisite coffee tables, and all kinds of glass decorations were eye-opening for the few of them.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked in with a livid face and sat down on a soft chair.
"Biao Er saw it. The King of Chen privately minted coins and sold salt.”
this
Well, his father didn't wrong Brother Chen.
However, Zhu Biao still pleaded subconsciously,""Imperial Father, Brother Chen was also muddle-headed for a moment. Imperial Father, please be lenient."
From the moment he called out his father, Zhu Biao began to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang as the Crown Prince.
"Hmph, don't give me that. You always plead for your brothers. This is how Second Brother is spoiled by you!”
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly again.
No matter what, they were brothers. As their big brother, he naturally had to plead for them.
"Father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and interrupted,"Alright, there's no need to say anything else. We must deal with this bastard. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll have thoughts that he shouldn't have!”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The guards went to open the door.
"Xiao Hu? Didn't we ask you to mobilize the troops? Why are you back?”Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
"Your Majesty, all the city gates are closed!" Erhu said with a solemn expression. The streets are full of soldiers from the Imperial Residence!"
"What?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.
The city gate was not closed early or late, but only after he entered the city.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang think too much.
Could it be that this bastard already knew that he had come to Quanzhou?
He had even found out his location and was prepared to risk universal condemnation to imprison him!
Zhu Chen was preparing to be the devil!
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts were right.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard! Let's wait for him here and see how he acts!”Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry.
How could he not have thought that Zhu Chen, this bastard, would really disregard human relations and dare to attack him?
I was careless, really careless!
Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer maintain his composure.
Zhu Hongwu had experienced countless bloody storms in his life.
They had even died on the battlefield.
He did not expect that he would fall into the hands of his son when he was old!
It was too stifling!!
Zhu Biao paused for a moment. Judging from his father's expression, he knew that his father was certain that his younger brother would rebel.
Then it was useless for him to say anything now.
At this time, Xiao Hu even expressed his loyalty and said,"Your Majesty, don't worry. Tomorrow, even if I have to risk my life, I will send you out of the city."
Well, he was still starting a fire here!
Zhu Biao was helpless.
He felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that they were thinking too much?
At this moment, in Prince Chen's mansion.
"General Zhang, did His Highness really ask you to seal the city gates?”
"Lord Yang, I don't have the authority to seal the city gates. Of course, it's His Highness 'order."
All the pirates were captured. Under torture, they confessed that their leader had secretly entered the city with three or four people.
That's why His Highness ordered the city gates to be sealed and the personal guards to search the entire city."
Yang Shiqi's expression turned grave when he heard that.
"It's not enough to seal off the entrances of the various Urban area. We need to send people to guard the many small roads and check them one by one."
The Japanese pirates were crazy. Although there were only three or four of them, if they were to cause trouble, it might affect Quanzhou's image.
"Oh right, where's His Highness?"
" I don't know." Zhang Qiu shook his head.
"What?! You don't know?" Yang Shiqi's expression changed.
"Your Highness didn't tell me, how would I know?"
"This... Now that the Japanese pirates have sneaked in, their goal might be to assassinate Your Highness. This..."
"What? "Then they're taking things too hard. Even if they want to assassinate me, it's not as easy as assassinating His Highness." Zhang Qiu was speechless.
"Hmm?"
......
"Alright, separate these people and ask if there are anyone else in the city."
Zhu Chen pointed at the dead Japanese pirates on the ground.
The personal guards did not dare to delay and quickly dragged the pirates to the side.
Immediately, a series of weak screams could be heard.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Your Highness, we've already found out. Other than these people, there's also a spy who's helping them.
However, no matter how much we tortured them, they wouldn't tell us the identity of that person."
"A spy?" Zhu Chen knocked his head.
"The spies are either new faces or people who have been to Quanzhou for two or three years and are more familiar with Quanzhou. These people who come to Quanzhou will definitely not miss a place."
Zhu Chen's expression was indifferent.
"Heavenly Earth, go. Let Zhang Qiu personally lead the team to investigate."
"Yes, sir."
......
At this moment, Heavenly Earth.
"Yes... uh... Well..."
"Esteemed guest, how is my strength?”
"Not bad, not bad."
"Alright, then this servant will give you a good rest."
Zhu Yuanzhang was half-naked as he climbed on a bench.
He felt the boneless hands rubbing his body.
Instantly, he felt that all his bones and muscles had been baptized.
How could this feeling be described as awesome!
Zhu Biao was also enjoying it with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Even though they were a little shy when they first met so openly.
uh... Later on, he would ask Madam Lu to properly discipline the palace maids.
It was too comfortable to do this after handling government affairs every day.
It should be said that they were indeed father and son. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought so.
"Haha, what do you think? Is Heavenly Earth worth it?”
"Not bad." Zhu Biao was reserved.
"Hehe, the women in Heavenly Earth are beautiful, but they can't be touched. It's a pity."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little strange.
"Could it be that I can't buy a woman I like?”
Boss Wang shook his head and said," That won't do either. Although I'm doing the work of serving men, these are all good women. I'm selling my skills, not my body."
A few years ago, there was a rich merchant who didn't know the rules and tried to rob him. He even said that even the King of Chen would give him face. Guess what happened in the end?”
"Eh, did King Chen kill them?”
"No, but the King of Chen hung it at the entrance of Heavenly Earth for half a month.
After that man came down, he lost his life. From then on, no one dared to violate the rules of King Chen anymore."
Boss Wang's lingering fear made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart tremble.
What a ruthless method!
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door.
A loud bang sounded.
A guard was kicked in.
Then, a burly man with a height of eight feet and a big waist barged in.
It was Zhang Qiu.
"Damn it, arrest everyone inside!"
"Wait!"
Zhu Biao stood up.
"General, what right do you have to arrest us!”
Zhang Qiu scratched his head." There are pirates in the city. I suspect that there are spies among you. Is this reason enough?!"”
"We're not..."
Zhang Qiu was getting impatient.
"Who cares if you are or not? Let's arrest you first."
Zhu Yuanzhang had already gotten up and put on his clothes.
"How unreasonable! Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for your King Chen?”
