The Ming Dynasty: The most ruthless imperial grandson, Old Zhu begged me not to kill him.

Chapter 482 The Imperial Grandson Who Was Borrowing Money
According to the rules set by Zhu Xiong Ying, they could keep 30% of the money for themselves, each soldier could receive some rewards, and they could even get a generous sum of money.

The rest need to be transported to Yingtian Prefecture.

Just then, a soldier came to report.

"Generals, Imperial Grandson Yunwen has arrived again!"

Upon hearing this, people couldn't help but frown. The matter concerning Zhu Yunwen had previously left these two extremely dissatisfied.

It's unbelievable that Zhu Yunwen was so lucky to escape.

Upon arriving in the capital, they began investigating matters concerning Zhu Yunwen.

However, since the total amount belongs to a grandson of the emperor, it naturally needs to be reported.

They were very surprised when they learned that Zhu Yunwen had escaped before the war began.

I never expected this guy to have such a trick up his sleeve. He must have only dared to run away now that the Ming army is attacking.

Wang Bi curled his lip.

"I really don't know where he gets the nerve to show his face. Does he really think he's some high and mighty prince or grandson of the emperor?"

The moment he was expelled from Yingtian Prefecture, he lost the right to continue fighting for that unknown qualification.

At this moment, Mu Ying sighed.

Regardless, he is still nominally his nephew.

"Forget it, let's see him anyway. If he behaves himself here and we take care of him, nothing bad will happen!"

Not long afterward, Zhu Yunwen, looking as destitute as a beggar, arrived at this place.

When Zhu Yunwen learned that the Khmer Empire had been destroyed, he was somewhat excited, finally escaping this cage.

At this moment, all he could think about was taking this opportunity to see if he could return to Yingtian Prefecture. Even if he couldn't return to Yingtian Prefecture, he still wanted to develop his fiefdom.

Previously, he had neither manpower nor money, and originally wanted to rely on the Khmer Empire. Who would have thought that the emperor of the Khmer Empire would be so outrageous and not take him seriously at all?

Now that the Khmer Empire is gone, I'm sure I'll get a share of what I received from it. It's even possible that my royal grandfather, if he still cherishes this kinship, might grant me this land as my fiefdom.

Although Mu Ying and Wang Bi were very unwilling, they still bowed to Zhu Yunwen.

"This humble general greets Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Generals, please rise quickly from today's work. You have done a great service and have now destroyed the Khmer Empire. When you return, you will receive a reward from His Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They were already dukes, and the next step would be to be enfeoffed as kings, but they knew very well that with their current merits, they were not yet qualified to be enfeoffed as kings.

Of course, if they could completely stabilize this place and turn it into the rear base of their Great Ming, then the title of king would be within their grasp.

Seeing that the two men had no reaction, Zhu Yunwen was extremely annoyed. These two guys really didn't know what was good for them. He wondered what kind of bewitching drug Zhu Xiong Ying had given them to make them so loyal. It was truly despicable.

Seeing that the two men weren't paying much attention to him, he decided to stop pretending and waved his hand, saying, "This prince intends to return to the Heavenly Palace to report on this matter. You two arrange for some soldiers to protect me!"

"Don't worry, once I return to Yingtian Prefecture, I will definitely report this matter to my grandfather and put in a good word for you!"

Mu Ying and Wang Bi were extremely disdainful of these words when Wang Bi spoke.

"Your Highness, you are now a vassal king in the outside world. Without His Majesty's decree, no one may respond to Heaven!"

"Your Highness's fiefdom has also been affected by today's events. Your Highness's most urgent task now is to return to your fiefdom and appease the people!"

Zhu Yunwen felt somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

Although he was a prince, could he be the same as those ordinary princes? His father was the crown prince, and he might even be able to ascend to that position in the future. He couldn't just stay in such a place.

At this moment, Mu Ying spoke up.

"If Your Highness wishes to respond to the Heavenly Palace, I will write to His Majesty to report this matter. However, whether His Majesty agrees or not is not something we can decide!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's face turned extremely ugly. If this matter were to be reported back, the chances of his grandfather wanting him to return would not be very high. These two fellows were truly despicable, daring to oppose him like this.

With so few people in his own fiefdom, and so poor, what's the point of staying? "Since that's the case, I won't trouble you two. However, I've heard that the two generals have acquired quite a lot of spoils this time, and I'd like some of them to be used to relieve the disaster victims in my fiefdom!"

Mu Ying and Wang Bi were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect this person to actually dare to think that way. However, if that were the case, it wouldn't be impossible, since these people would all be subjects of their Great Ming in the future.

"It is only right to leave some for Your Highness. I believe His Majesty will not say anything if he knows. The only question is how much Your Highness needs!"

After careful consideration, Zhu Yunwen then extended one finger.

I need half!

Mu Ying and Wang Bi were stunned when they heard this. They never expected Zhu Yunwen to be so greedy, asking for half of it all at once.

What a joke! Thirty percent of them belong to their own brothers, and seventy percent of them need to be sent to Yingtian Prefecture.

Even if it were given to Zhu Yunwen, it would only be a small portion of that 70%.

Who would have thought this guy would be so audacious as to want half of it in one go?

Despite the countless soldiers who fought and died on the battlefield, toiling themselves to the death, they ultimately received far fewer rewards than a prince who did nothing and even defected to the enemy.

At this moment, Mu Ying refused decisively.

"Your Highness, please don't think too much about it. Thirty percent of this money belongs to our brothers, and the remaining seventy percent is being sent to Yingtian Prefecture. Even if we keep some, we won't be able to keep much. We'll give you enough food for three months at most. After three months, the harvest from the fields should be ready, and then you won't have to worry!"

Zhu Yunwen was extremely dissatisfied upon hearing this.

What's a three-month supply of food? After all, there are only so many people in my own fiefdom.

If they gave him this grain, he wouldn't even eat it himself. How could such coarse grains be fit for human consumption? He was, after all, a member of the royal family. How could he possibly live like those ordinary people? That was utter contempt.
