First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 46

Zhu Biao walked halfway, and the dishes in the imperial kitchen were also made by the chefs of the original Wu Wangfu, so there was nothing to say about innovation.

He turned his head and asked Liu Jin, "I have visited several times in Weifu. Have you ever heard of what to eat outside every time?"

Liu Jin bent down and said, "I have heard that, every time I take a bite of the biscuits from the Zhang family on West Street.

Zhu Biao nodded, this is really unpretentious, he has eaten biscuits too, and he doesn't think it's delicious. Zhu Yuanzhang's liking may be his feelings.

Zhu Biao instructed him: "You go and invite people and bring them to the imperial kitchen to make biscuits, everything must be under your watch, let him use the ingredients in the palace, and must not be careless!

After seeing Liu Jin's promise, Zhu Biao said again: "It's just that the biscuits are a bit monotonous. Let the imperial kitchen cook them together with some dishes, and bring them to the imperial study immediately after the biscuits are out of the oven!"

After Liu Jin left, Zhu Biao also returned to the East Palace, silently thinking about how to solve it.

After a long time, a little eunuch came to report: "Prince Prince, Eunuch Liu asked the slaves to report. The preparations in the imperial kitchen are almost done, so Master Lao left for the imperial study."

Zhu Biao put down the pen in his hand, glanced at the large characters he had written, tidied up his robes and set off for the imperial study.

When he arrived at the door of the imperial study, Liu Jin hurried over with a few eunuchs carrying food boxes. Zhu Biao glanced at Liu Jin and saw that he nodded firmly, so he led a few little eunuchs to the door to let someone inform him. .

While waiting, Liu Jin leaned forward and said, "My lord, I have already taught the master of the imperial dining room the secret recipe for making sesame seed cakes, so I don't need to invite him anymore. I rewarded him with 100 taels and asked him not to spread this information to the outside world." thing!"

Zhu Biao nodded. What other secrets could there be in making biscuits? It was just the control of the heat. Liu Jin respectfully retreated to the back.

After a while, the eunuch who was serving inside hurriedly greeted him: "The minister sees the Crown Prince, the Holy Master invites you in."

Zhu Biao nodded and stepped in, and Liu Jin, who was behind him, took two tightly sealed food boxes from behind and hurriedly followed.

When Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang above, he bent down and saluted: "My son, see the father and emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Get up."

Zhu Biao stood straight and took the food box from Liu Jin's hand, walked to the desk, and took out the dishes one by one.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it with a smile: "Our Biao'er is sensible, knowing that we have been busy all morning, so we are here to reward us with food, hahaha!"

The eunuch on the side hesitated for a long time before slowly leaning forward. He was specially tested for poison, and anything he wanted to enter the emperor's mouth had to make him want to take a bite.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him when he found out, so frightened that he hurriedly knelt aside, not daring to say what he wanted to say.

Only then did Zhu Biao take out the golden biscuits from another box. Zhu Yuanzhang took a look and grabbed it with his hand.

The biscuits that had just come out of the oven were a little hot, and Zhu Yuanzhang's hot hands took turns holding the biscuits.

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Father, just wait when it's hot, why worry so much."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a bite and said aloud, "You don't understand, these biscuits have to be just out of the oven, they are the best when they are hot, haha, this is Zhang's biscuits, we haven't eaten them for a long time."

Zhu Biao watched Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a bright smile, nibbling on the biscuits contentedly, and there was a kind of joy in feeding.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate three whole sesame cakes before he stopped, and said, "Don't bring sesame cakes next time, let's go to the imperial kitchen and wait in person."

Zhu Biao said: "If you want to eat in the future, just order the imperial kitchen directly. They have already learned it."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile: "Every time we go out, we can think of asking the people in the imperial kitchen to study, but we forget it as soon as we return to the palace. Biao'er did a good job."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and waved his hand, "You all go down."

When everyone went down, Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial and said, "You have something to ask for! And I went to your mother first. I think your mother didn't agree, so I brought what we like to ask!"

Zhu Biao smiled and rubbed his shoulders behind the dragon chair: "Yes, my son has something to ask his father for."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed a few times: "Your mother loves you. Since she didn't agree, it must be your fault. Are you sure you still ask us?"

Zhu Biao pressed hard a few times: "Mother loves me, and father loves me even more. Since mother doesn't agree, my son can only come to beg you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Tell me, what is it that our crown prince came to ask for?"

Zhu Biao said: "Looking at the situation of the Northern Expedition, most of them must be unsustainable, and there is a high probability that it will be pacified this year."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yuanting can't do it anymore, their will to resist is not strong. According to Xu Da's report, many officials of Dadu are secretly taking refuge."

Zhu Biao went on to say: "But in scattered places such as Shandong, there are still remnants of the Yuan Court. Next year, the imperial court will send troops to destroy them. My son wants to go."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said solemnly: "Biao'er, military affairs are no joke. You have never been on the battlefield. Do you understand how to lead troops? Don't think that you can command thousands of troops after reading a few military books."

Zhu Biao's tone remained the same: "The son naturally knows, but the son does not want to lead the army in person. The son grew up in the palace and studied poetry and books since childhood, but he has never experienced the battlefield, so he wants to follow the army to see it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to see this, Biaoer, it's not like you go out to play, soldiers are fierce, and victory or defeat is impermanent. "

"Biao'er, Dad will naturally give you a stable world, and it's not too late for you to go out and see."

Zhu Biao's nose is sour. Even if he knows that Zhu Yuanzhang loves him, he has never been sure how much he loves him.

Until now, this was by no means something an emperor could say.

Zhu Biao also raised a look of arrogance and arrogance: "Father, please let your son go, Yuan Ting has been defeated like a mountain, and a few remnants are not enough to make a climate, not to mention how his son will conquer those arrogant without military achievements in the future. Warriors."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still frowning when he heard this, but the last sentence moved him a bit.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and Zhu Biao also quietly waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and picked up the memorial: "Go on, study hard tomorrow."

With a smile on his face, Zhu Biao bowed out of the door of the imperial study. It looks like he will have new studies tomorrow.

Liu Jin followed Zhu Biao's pace and saw that the prince was in a good mood, and a bright smile appeared on Liu Jin's face.

After walking for a while, Zhu Biao wanted to ask Liu Jin how the famous doctor was looking, and he saw a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at? So happy!"

Liu Jin hurriedly replied: "If you say back to the master, the servants will be happy when they see you happy."

Zhu Biao also laughed: "Why did you change it just a few days after becoming a minister?"

Liu Jin smiled and followed behind Zhu Biao: "Slaves will always be your slaves, and it's always a bad feeling to be a minister in front of you."
