Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 38 Where did Ni Sun come from?

Lao Zhu listened to the compliments from the six ministers, although his face was calm, but his heart was already overjoyed.

The reason why he directed and acted this scene today was to show the words he stole from Da Sun to the most knowledgeable people in Da Ming!
Otherwise, it's not a festival, we are full enough to invite them to dinner?
Is there too much food in our palace and nowhere to put it?

Let you laugh at us behind our backs for our ignorance, our eldest grandson speaks better than you!
"We are just saying it casually, and we should not praise it so much."

"Furthermore, we were afraid of being poor when we were young. We are used to living in poverty and suffer from poor diseases. We can't see food being wasted."

"If this is publicized with great fanfare, the people all over the world must laugh at us as an emperor who looks like a local rich man, hahaha..."

As Lao Zhu talked, he laughed to himself.

Although he smiled happily, the officials below did not dare to follow suit.

Those in the upper ranks laugh at themselves, which shows their affinity, and those in the lower ranks are looking for death if they are ignorant and smirk.

"Your Majesty is too modest!"

"Even if Your Majesty did not expel Meng Yuan and restore our great achievements in China, these words alone can make your name go down in history and be admired by all ages!"

"This sentence is simple and straightforward, but it contains the Dao, and it has a sense of simplicity and profoundness. It is a wise saying for self-cultivation and family prosperity for generations to come!"

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhao Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said, he only felt that it touched his heart.

When he first heard these words, he immediately wanted to write them into the "Emperor's Mandate Ancestors", so that the descendants of the Zhu family would remember them for generations.I didn't expect Zhao Mian, an old man, to think about it with us!
"Pour wine for Zhao Shangshu!"

Hearing this, Zhao Mian hurriedly got up to express his thanks, then tremblingly picked up the wine glass, full of surprises.

It seems that what I said just now is on point!

Seeing that Zhao Mian had already picked up the wine glass, Old Zhu couldn't help raising his glass to him, which was regarded as a distant respect, and the happy Zhao Mian hurriedly drank it down.

Seeing that Zhao Mian got a good deal, the others also flattered each other.

Although their level is far inferior to that of Zhao Mian, who was born in a major, Lao Zhu rewarded each of them with a glass of imperial wine in order to take care of their emotions.

It's not that Lao Zhu is being stingy, but mainly because he is afraid that they will drink too much and delay the errands in the yamen.

After all, it was enough for him to have a meal today. If he gave them half a day off, wouldn't it be a loss to grandma's house?

In the end, Lao Zhu fully affirmed the positive practical significance and historical value of engraving stone steles, but rejected the proposal to publish them in the residence newspaper.

After finalizing this matter, the atmosphere on the wine table became much more harmonious.

Lao Zhu buried himself in the cooking, and the other ministers followed suit.

Although the food on the table is not suitable for the mouth, but for the six ministers, it is not easy to get a meal from Lao Zhu's house.

Don't care if it's delicious, let's have a good stomach first!
Just as they were eating in full swing, the eunuch who passed on the meal brought a pot of crucian carp soup, plus a steamed lion's head with powder.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw these two dishes.

This crucian carp soup is stewed authentically, and the soup is stewed into a milky white color, which can be seen to be stewed enough.It's also good to get the lion's head with crab powder, each one is the size of a fist, and it is topped with carefully cooked soup, which is a feast for the eyes.

When Zhan Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saw the lion's head, the saliva in his mouth couldn't help but flow down.

He loves lion's head the most in his life, and he almost ate it all over the famous restaurants in Yingtian Mansion.But it was the first time he had seen lion heads made in the palace, and he really wanted to taste the difference from those made outside.

Others also smacked their mouths at the milky crucian carp soup. Although there is a lot of meat in this meal today, there is no suitable soup.

The crucian carp soup that is being served now is just to take it to moisten the throat and digest the food by the way.

But just when they were ready to eat with great anticipation, unexpectedly the emperor beside him spoke.

"We are almost finished eating, and you brought the food?"

"Reporting to the emperor, these two dishes took a lot of effort, so it's still too late to serve..."

Lao Zhu looked at the two dishes, and suddenly thought of the scene of the emaciated grandson crying and complaining that he was not full and could not eat well.

He couldn't help having a sore nose, and waved his hand at the eunuch who passed on the food.

"Let's not eat it, let's send it to our little Ni Sun."

Several ministers were so angry that they almost scolded their mothers, they served two decent dishes in total, and the stingy emperor even sent them to your grandson!
Wait, what the hell is his little rebellious grandson?

The emperor's doting tone, could it be Zhu Yunxi?
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor's trip in the morning with the emperor's grandson was not a temporary idea, but an ulterior motive?

Chuan Shantai was dumbfounded when he heard this. There are three imperial grandchildren in Dahontang, which one is the little Ni grandson?

Seeing that the eunuch Chuanshan was frozen in place, Erhu hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Humble post obeys the order!"

Seeing the two tigers approaching, Lao Zhu immediately nodded towards him.

"By the way, let's find out how the Ni Sun is doing in Dahontang, but something mischievous happened!"

"promise!"

The six ministers watched Erhu leave until he disappeared in the side hall, and then they withdrew their shocked gazes.

The emperor is still concerned about the homework of the emperor's grandson, which is not a good sign!

If the position of Daming's successor really falls to Zhu Yunxie, Lan Yu and other arrogant soldiers will be turned upside down?
Several ministers thought of this, and they couldn't eat this meal anymore.

They hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and started biting their ears as soon as they left the palace gate, discussing how to deal with this matter.

Only Zhan Wei was very calm and did not take the initiative to get involved in this matter.

Because in his opinion, if the old emperor is sure about what he is doing, he will not be able to bring back nine cows.

These old things, they are nothing more than a fly shaking a tree, and a mantis turning a cart!

After Lao Zhu dismissed several ministers, he couldn't help showing a secretive smile on his face.

These two dishes are enough for these old guys to have a headache for a few days, at least they won't rush to persuade us to establish an heir!

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the bedroom, and just about to take a nap, he heard Erhu's voice from outside the door.

"Is it Erhu?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have sent the imperial meal to His Highness Yunxi, and asked someone to inquire about His Highness's study today."

"Come in and talk!"

Not long after, Erhu walked into Lao Zhu's bedroom.

"Reporting to the emperor, His Royal Highness Yunxi performed very well today. He not only read all the articles, but also raised questions about Mr. Qi, who was speechless!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu sat up abruptly, feeling more than half energetic.

"We knew that Ni Sun would not stop, but I didn't expect him to dare to talk back to Mr.!"

Erhu hurriedly explained.

"My lord, I have inquired about this matter from a humble position. I really don't blame His Royal Highness Yunxi."

"Moreover, even Mr. Qi admires His Royal Highness Yunxi's knowledge!"

As the saying goes, Lord Mo Ruo knows his grandson, when Lao Zhu heard this, a sneer appeared on his face.

"He has a fart knowledge, a nonsense knowledge?"

Seeing what the emperor said, Erhu's heart beat a little.

"Not really, is it?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness Yunxi created a rainbow out of thin air, which convinced Mr. Qi."

"This is not over yet, His Royal Highness Yunxi even captured the sun, and let a group of students in the main hall see the color of the sun..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that the child has really changed his nature and is an unborn genius?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to convince that child Qi Tai by virtue of ingenuity.

One must know that Qi Tai was Jie Yuan in the Yingtianfu Township Examination, and his knowledge is so profound that even the number one scholar in the palace examination may not be able to match him.

"Tell us in detail, how did Ni Sun capture the sun?"

"Reporting to the emperor, His Royal Highness Yunxi found a piece of ice, and then chiseled the ice into a special shape, and it will appear when facing the sun..."

"and many more!"

"It's such a hot day, where did Ni Sun get the ice!"
