The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 32

Zhu Feng was welcomed into the palace in a gorgeous carriage by court envoys headed by Xiao Jing.

Zhu Fu stood at the door, watching the carriage leave. At this time, his face was no longer ridiculed and cursed before, but a gentle smile like a warm sun.

"My son, I've grown up!"

When Zhu Fu spoke, he looked relieved and satisfied.

Zhu Lin next to him frowned and said, "Father, didn't you call him arrogant earlier? You called him a wicked son?"

Zhu Fu turned his head and stared at Zhu Lin.

He originally thought that the eldest son was quite capable and could help the family, but now he turned his face away and the eldest son became the "disappointed" one in the family.

"Zhiyi, my father hasn't said anything about you yet, but you didn't hide your words in front of Eunuch Xiao earlier, didn't you do it on purpose?" Zhu Fu said sharply.

Zhu Lin said indifferently: "What do you say, father punished him, why do you need to hide it?"

"Punishment is just right! Judging from the results, he may have hit the big luck, but from the process, he was disregarding the interests of the Duke's government. He has just inherited the title for a few years as a father, and there are so many people in the court. Keep an eye on it, don’t ask for merit but seek no faults!”

Saying that, Zhu Fu wanted to go inside.

Zhu Lindao: "Father, from my son's point of view, it's not the second brother who hit the big luck, it's all because of that Zhang Gongsheng who helped him. Since Zhang Gongsheng was able to pass the Jiangnan Township Examination Xie Yuan, he must have good knowledge and knowledge. I admire him so much. My father can't repay his kindness with revenge."

Zhu Fu nodded in agreement: "Yes. It seems that Juren can't be underestimated in the future. They are all Wenqu stars in the sky. Repay the favor..."

Suddenly, Zhu Fu seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly waved his hand to call the general who was standing at the door over.

"What's your order, my lord?"

"Hurry up, send a fast horse to intercept the person who is going to Nanjing to deliver the letter, that Zhang Jieyuan can't neglect...not only will he not neglect, but also gather them together, so that the family can prepare more gifts to send over!"

"This……"

The general looked puzzled.

You said yesterday that you would send someone to teach Zhang Zhou a lesson, but you turned around today?
The messengers have all set off, where should they go after them?
"Father, don't worry too much. After all, it's Juren. Even if the people in the family go to teach them a lesson, they don't dare to mess around. It's pointless to send someone to intercept it now. It's better to send another letter to Nanjing quickly. Just faster than the previous one."

"Okay! You send someone to Weifu!"

Zhu Fu glared at his son.

Let the kid beep beep blindly and work for me!
……

……

Royal Palace.

Under Xiao Jing's guidance, Zhu Feng entered the palace in a splendid manner, and after entering the palace, his eyes searched everywhere.

Neat palace guards, crowds of court ladies, majestic palaces...

Even the large and small doors in the palace and the long corridors are very new to Zhu Feng.

Entering the palace this time is different from the last time, the last time he came to handle business and the situation was tense, but this time he came to receive credit, so he was relaxed and at ease.

After passing the report, Zhu Feng entered the Qianqing Palace.

I saw Zhu Youtang sitting behind the desk, with stacks of memorials next to him, and beside him were the eunuch Chen Kuan and Wei Bin, the supervisor of rites and the eunuch Bingbi, who were helping to organize.

Xiao Jing respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the Second Young Master Zhu brought you here."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang put down the cinnabar brush in front of him, and looked up at Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng also looked at Zhu Youtang, looking like a commoner who has never seen the market.

Xiao Jing quickly reminded: "Young Lord, hurry up and greet Your Majesty."

"Oh, my servant Zhu Feng, see Your Majesty." Only then did Zhu Feng remember to salute Zhu Youtang.

"Ha ha."

When Zhu Youtang saw this scene, instead of being angry, he found it interesting. After all, he usually saw people who followed the rules, and he had never seen a young man like Zhu Feng who didn't even understand the rules.

To the emperor, Zhu Feng exuded the simplicity of a young man.

"Pingshen!" Zhu Youtang said, "Give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng didn't think much of it, he felt that giving a seat should be a normal courtesy.

The few eunuchs present felt that the emperor was extraordinarily respectful to Zhu Feng. Usually, even if there were ministers discussing matters in the inner court, they would just stand and listen. Occasionally, they would give seats to cabinet ministers when they came to discuss state affairs. Those cabinet ministers The ministers are also treated this way because they were the emperor's husband when he was the prince.

Zhu Feng is nothing, yet he has the qualification to sit in the Qianqing Palace!

Zhu Youtang said: "Zhijie, someone told you about the epidemic situation in the palace?"

Calling Zhu Feng directly by his nickname shows that the emperor regards Zhu Feng as a late-born child, and the emperor regards Zhu Feng as his own family.

"Yes." Zhu Feng said, "It is said that the little princess had acne, but it healed within a day."

"Ah."

Zhu Youtang said, "About the medication, you showed it in the court at that time, but only Dai Yi could see it clearly at that time. He can't come out in Kunning Palace now, so you can show it to the people in the Imperial Hospital."

Zhu Feng stood up with a cry, and said impatiently: "Okay, I'll go now."

"Hehe, don't worry!"

Seeing Zhu Feng's agitated appearance, Zhu Youtang smiled and pressed his hands, meaning to ask Zhu Feng to sit down and talk again.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am too impatient to do things for the court wholeheartedly." Zhu Feng was still a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zhu Feng's shy look, the eunuchs nearby were all sniggering.

It really doesn't know the rules.

But because of this, it looks innocent and cute.

If you were not naive, how could you come to the capital to deliver medicine at the risk of harming the interests of your family?
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "Zhijie, you are a child of affection and nature. I have another matter. There are still acne epidemics circulating in the palace. I want to get more medicine for the people in the palace. For human use, how much do you have...?"

Zhu Feng took out another porcelain vase from his bosom.

Zhu Fengdao: "Your Majesty, before I left Nanjing, only Zhang Jieyuan gave me a bottle of medicine. He was afraid that I would accidentally break it on the way and miss a major event, so he asked me to divide it into two bottles. The previous bottle was more. One bottle... just one base. Not much."

After Zhu Youtang heard this, his expression was filled with regret.

For vaccination, the medicine in these two small porcelain bottles alone may not be enough.

This can't be blamed on Zhang Zhou. Even though smallpox is often prevalent in various places these years, is it easy to find a sick cow?It was not easy to find a sick cow. The magic medicine was the pus from the cow's pox, and there was not much on a cow.

Zhang Zhou still needs to save some for himself and the people around him, of course it is impossible to give too much to Zhu Feng, who knows if the emperor will adopt this folk remedy?If you don't adopt it, isn't it all a waste?

Seeing this, Xiao Jing hurriedly asked: "My lord, didn't that Zhang Jieyuan tell you how this medicine was made?"

Zhu Feng stupidly shook his head.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but smile wryly.

You don't even know what kind of medicine it is, but you dare to try it and bring it to the little princess. You really have the guts and courage.

"Your Majesty, this old slave sees that Second Young Master Zhu is here to treat illnesses and save lives, and doesn't care about other things..."

Xiao Jing speaks for Zhu Feng.

Zhu Youtang ignored Xiao Jing, and asked Zhu Feng: "Zhijie, you said that you don't know how this medicine is formulated, that Zhang Gongsheng, does he know?"

Zhu Feng thought for a while, then nodded quickly and said, "He should know."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang seemed to be thinking about something.

Wei Bin next to him hastily asked: "Your Majesty, the disease is prevalent not only in the palace, but also around the capital. If the medicine is really effective, someone should send an order to Nanjing immediately to bring the prescription quickly. This may save tens of thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty."

"Okay!" Zhu Youtang ordered immediately, "Immediately send an order to Ying Tianfu to cooperate with Zhang Gongsheng...By the way, what is his name?"

Zhu Feng said: "His name is Zhang Zhou, and his name is Bingkuan."

"Zhang Bingkuan."

Zhu Youtang smiled and nodded, as if he had written down the name, "Then ask Ying Tianfu to cooperate with Zhang Bingkuan to transcribe the prescription and send it to the capital as soon as possible. Please go to the capital together. All the places along the way will be treated with the courtesy of a celestial master! Anyone who is negligent will be dismissed and investigated, and the crime cannot be pardoned!"
