At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 67

Coming out of Beizhen Mansion, Zhu Qizhen looked left and right along the way, as if everything he saw was new.

Thinking back to the beginning of Hell in the Civil Fortress, every day besides fighting is fighting, this is the first time that I can hang out so comfortably.

Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin followed behind, pretending to be servants, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

"You two, don't be so nervous!"

Zhu Qizhen said without looking back: "We are shopping, not fighting, what are you doing with a dark face?"

Yuan Bin couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Shi Heng and others are death row prisoners, aren't you afraid that they will run away?"

"Run?" Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Where are you going?"

Yuan Bin struggled for a moment, summoned up his courage, and said, "If these people really turn to Japanese pirates, wouldn't it be..."

"So what?" Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "It's just the loss of hundreds of death row prisoners."

Now Yuan Bin has nothing to say, yes, it's just the loss of hundreds of death row prisoners, what's the fuss about?

It was almost noon, and the restaurants and restaurants on the street wafted bursts of aroma.

Zhu Qizhen's stomach was growling with hunger, and seeing a restaurant called Dingxianglou not far ahead, he walked in, and Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin hurriedly followed.

As soon as the staff of the restaurant saw the guests, they hurriedly greeted them: "Three guests, please come inside!"

Yuan Bin stepped forward and asked, "My son doesn't like to be noisy, is there a quieter place?"

"No problem, the three of you, please go to the private room on the second floor!"

Zhu Qizhen came to the private room, found a chair and sat down, but found that Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin were still standing behind him.

"You two sit down too!"

The two looked at each other, and Yuan Bin said, "I don't dare to overstep!"

"We are pretending to be on patrol now, without so much etiquette, I will let you sit down!"

The two had no choice but to find a chair and sit down, not daring to sit too tight.

A waiter came over with a teapot and bowl, and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Zhu Qizhen asked: "What special dishes do you guys have here?"

The store clerk poured tea for the three of them, and said with a smile: "Sir, you must not be a local, right?"

Zhu Qizhen chuckled, and asked back, "How did you find out?"

"The locals don't know that our Dingxianglou sells donkey meat!"

"Donkey meat?" Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked, "Then tell me, what kind of food do you have?"

"Oh, that's a lot!" The store clerk happily introduced, "There are braised donkey meat, five-spice sauce donkey meat, stir-fried donkey sausages, stir-fried donkey kidney flowers, donkey meat with skin in stone pot, and three pieces of aphrodisiac donkeys. , donkey whip horse soup..."

"All right, all right!" Zhu Qizhen interrupted him, and said, "There are only three of us, you just need to arrange a few special dishes."

"okay!"

After the store clerk left, Yuan Bin asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, is it...unsafe to eat in this kind of place?"

"Those people in the lobby on the second floor are secret sentries arranged by you, right?" Zhu Qizhen pointed to the outside and said, "These people acted like thieves along the way, I'm afraid others won't know they are secret sentries!"

Yuan Bin said with a blushing face, "I know I was wrong, and I will discipline you strictly when I go down!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "Forget it, what are you doing to embarrass them?"

At this time, there was an elegant sound of pipa from the private room next door, accompanied by several cheers.

It sounded like someone was entertaining guests, and even called the singer to add to the fun, pushing glasses and changing dishes, it was very noisy.

Yuan Bin got up and said, "I'm going to clear the place now."

"What scene are you clearing?" Zhu Qizhen pulled his clothes and dragged him back to the chair, "It's just a meal, don't make such a big noise!"

At this time, I vaguely heard someone from the next door saying: "Shopkeeper Wang, business is not doing well recently, right?"

"Brother Fang, why did you say that?"

"The Mongols were all beaten away by the emperor, and I'm afraid there won't be any big moves in a short time."

Upon hearing the word Mongolian, Yuan Bin subconsciously stood up, and Zhu Qizhen waved his hand at him, signaling to listen further.

"Brother Fang, I don't understand. It is precisely because the Mongols were defeated that they needed supplies. If they had won the battle, they would have already robbed them by themselves. Would you still spend money to buy them?"

"What Shopkeeper Wang said is very true, come, drink!"

In just a few words, Zhu Qizhen already understood that this is a merchant who is a thief.

To transport supplies to foreign enemies, to send money to the country, um... just because the treasury is short of money, you can copy it!

Yuan Bin whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to arrest someone now?"

"Wait first!" Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and replied in a low voice, "There must be more than one family that can do business with the Mongols. Don't startle the snake, keep an eye on this person, follow the vines, and see what's hidden behind. How many big melons!"

At this time, the neighbor said again: "Shopkeeper Wang, I have a batch of cotton cloth, I don't know if I can get rid of it?"

"Cotton cloth is a rarity among the Mongols. I'll take everything you have!"

"Then I am very grateful to Shopkeeper Wang!"

Zhu Qizhen was secretly surprised, are merchants so arrogant now?

In public, dare to talk about doing business with the Mongols with such fanfare, so no one cares?
At this time, the waiter started to serve food, and Zhu Qizhen whispered while eating: "Go back and check carefully, what's going on behind these people... Well, this donkey meat tastes good!"

When the three of them were eating with their heads down, they felt a waft of fragrance coming over. Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but turned his head to look, and saw a beautiful young woman walking by the door with a pipa in her arms.

The woman also just took a look inside, and her eyes met immediately, Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and forgot to chew the donkey meat in her mouth.

I saw that the woman's face was covered with a veil, only a pair of almond eyes were exposed, but they were full of affection and seductive.

Seeing a young master staring at her, she didn't show any disgust on her face, she just smiled politely, then moved her lotus steps lightly, and left quietly.

What Zhu Qizhen was thinking at this moment was that this was much better than NO.18!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Yuan Bin yelled softly, and Zhu Qizhen came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

"They're leaving!"

"Oh!" Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "You follow!"

Yuan Bin put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked out of the private room, greeted the two secret guards from the lobby, and followed them downstairs.

After dinner, he returned to Qianqing Palace, took a nap first, and then took out a pen and paper to write and draw.

Daming needs to improve too much, and it cannot be realized overnight. For example, this steam engine, where should I start...

Until it was dark, after eating a few mouthfuls of dinner in a hurry, but did not taste much, Empress Qian came over with a bowl of ginseng soup.

"The concubine saw that the emperor was preoccupied with his official duties, so he ordered someone to cook a bowl of ginseng soup and bring it to the emperor to nourish his body."

"Oh, put it down!"

Zhu Qizhen was worrying about where to start the steam engine. After all, he only knew the general principle of this thing and didn't know how to do it.

The Ming Dynasty practiced stereotyped selection of scholars, and scholars read the Four Books and Five Classics. If you study natural science, it will be regarded as a strange skill. Therefore, it is simply too difficult to train a group of scientific workers!

Emperor Qian looked disappointed, so he could only say: "The concubine will leave first!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen come to his senses, and said, "I was thinking about something just now, don't worry too much!"

While talking, he picked up the ginseng soup and drank it down, then smashed his mouth and said: "As expected, the empress brought it up in person, it tastes good!"

When Empress Qian saw this, she smiled immediately, and said softly: "My concubine just sees that the emperor is working too hard, but can't help, and I feel a little sorry."

At close range, Zhu Qizhen found that Empress Qian's appearance was peerless, but compared to the beauty she met in Dingxianglou, she was a little less charming, but a little more delicate.

It's late at night, and the red candles in the Qianqing Palace are flickering, and the scenery is endless.

Lying on the bed, Zhu Qizhen sighed secretly, it turned out that this is the real emperor supreme package...
