Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 506
"It's good to have the intention of repenting. You are a scholar who is useless. There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but it is still biased. At least it can teach people to read and understand the word 'country'. If you can't even do this If you do it, you’re really a waste, staying here and cultivating a few more talents who can benefit one side is the right way, don’t think about fooling me by making some hypocritical things.”

Zhu Youxiao's words were not only for Wu Weiye, but also for all the local officials in Guangxi present. Fang Zhenru and other local officials couldn't help but blush after hearing this, but Wu Weiye was quite happy in his heart. He could hear that His Majesty's words meant to let him stay here and not let him go to the southern border, which made him very relieved.

At this time, Concubine Ning Luoruo and Liu Rushi, who were wearing veils, came over accompanied by Li Mingrui, the supervisor of ceremonies, and Li Mingrui, a scholar of the cabinet. He made eye contact, but was stared back by Li Mingrui. He didn't want the people in Dongchang to see that he, a cabinet scholar, had been manipulating the behavior of these local officials.

As soon as he entered the capital city of Si'en Prefecture, Zhu Youxiao took Concubine Ning Luoruo's hand, pointed to a rolling hill behind the capital city, and asked, "Which mountain is your home on?"

Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Youxiao with amused eyes, and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Chengen to prepare lunch. After the lunch break, he immediately climbed the mountain to the small place name that would be recorded in the record and would be forgotten by later generations.

The official in charge of preparing the lunch was Cen Jie, the magistrate of the local government. According to the instructions from above, knowing that His Majesty's tour of the world was specifically for the purpose of investigating the people's sentiments, he specially prepared a table of farm meals, bacon and muddy wine, plus local chicken and The game is basically farm-style, without fine carvings, and there is no embellishment that deliberately sells appearance. Even the knife skills are not superb, and even the tableware is extravagant and simple, with clear wooden tables and stools of different heights. , Sitting up is creaking.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't know if these local officials in Guangxi did it deliberately, but this feeling of "Mo Xiao's farmhouse's cured wine is muddy, and there are enough chickens and pigs to keep guests in a good year" is really felt at this moment. Zhu Youxiao, a professional emperor who habitually associates people's lives with personal ideals and achievements, has a feeling that being an emperor is not in vain, and life is not in vain.

Ordinary bamboo chopsticks that can no longer be ordinary are stretched out into the oval earthen bowl to pick up a piece of chicken that is slightly browned but soaked in various secret spices of the Yao family. The taste buds are greatly satisfied, but the fly in the ointment is that it is a bit hot.

Liu Rushi who was accompanying her couldn't help pursing her lips, because many officials and gentry were present, she could only abide by the rules and not sit at the same table with His Majesty, even Concubine Ning could only watch from the side.

Seeing that a new dish was served, but it was a crispy broth with the fragrance of corn and meat, Liu Rushi couldn't bear it any longer, and grabbed Wang Cheng'en who was about to take the silver needle to test the poison: "I'm here to test the poison for Your Majesty." .”

Before Wang Chengen could react, the silver needle in his hand was snatched by Liu Rushi, and the chance to have a bite of the farm food was snatched away by Liu Rushi in vain.

When Liu Rushi said that he wanted to test the poison for His Majesty, he actually took the opportunity to sacrifice to the Temple of the Five Viscera, which had long been unbearable. The mouth of the cherry was too small, and the juice was almost spilled out, but she was strong enough, so she swallowed it back, chewing back and forth with her white teeth, and then physically digested the elastic meat into minced meat, which was slowly sent into the esophagus.

"No poison, Your Majesty," Liu Rushi smiled, and hurried back to his seat. Zhu Youxiao and Ning Bi Luoruo couldn't help smiling. Fang Zhenru and other local officials were a little stunned, but they saw Li Mingrui winking again and again. , They didn't say anything, and they didn't see it, even Zhang Duan, the patrol censor, just coughed a few times.

"If it was poisonous, you would have been poisoned to death if you took such a big mouthful, you stinking girl, you don't want to choose a good day if you want to die." At this time, Wang Chengen secretly scolded Liu Rushi in his heart like a resentful woman. The benefit of enjoying the emperor's banquet was snatched away by the little maid Liu Rushi, which naturally made him very angry.

Seeing Wang Chengen's venomous eyes, Liu Rushi made a face at Wang Chengen: "Dead eunuch!"

Zhu Youxiao ate a table full of more than a dozen dishes by himself, and then there were more than a dozen people watching together. Even though it was delicious in the world, he was not interested in eating, so he ordered: "Go down!" , it’s fine to have Liu Rushi serving from the side, Wang Chengen, you wait outside the door, and serve as a waiter in the shop for the time being, serving dishes and soup.”

After Zhu Youxiao gave such an order, everyone left the room, and then Zhu Youxiao greeted Liu Rushi: "Sit down, these are all yours."

……

Now it is the ninth day of September, which is the Double Ninth Festival. Although Zhu Youxiao just wanted to go back to the mountain in a low-key way, in fact, this tall and steep mountain was taken by the Fifth Army, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Guangxi local officers and soldiers occupied almost all carnivorous animals, and even reptiles such as snakes and insects were almost wiped out by them in various ways, so that there would be no accidents when your majesty and empress climbed the mountain .

Countless soldiers of the Fifth Army and Dongchang fanzi pretended to be woodcutters and Orion secretly hiding in various places in the forest. Even Zhu Youxiao himself could not know exactly how many people were defending him.

He is not a canary and will not stay in the Forbidden City all the time, but since he is going on patrol, he must have strict defenses. He has no objection to the army and the Dongchang Jinyiwei doing it with such fanfare, after all, this is also their duty.

The bird path in the mountain has been excavated by the local magistrate Cen Jie in January to create a three-foot-wide stone step road. Wooden stakes have been laid and rattan canes are even laid on the roadside, which can be used as a guardrail. Some wild chrysanthemums were even dotted to add artistry.

In fact, Fang Zhenru and others had already prepared sliding poles for Zhu Youxiao and others, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on walking, and the officials had no choice. The poor ones were Li Mingrui and other veteran officials and Luo Ruo Liu Rushi had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the king.

There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and Zhu Youxiao and others who entered the deep mountain after noon did not know what time it was at this time, but he had already walked so hard that his feet were weak and his body was weak, while Liu Rushi was also hunched over, Full of complaints, she walked with her hands down, and was even supported by Luo Ruo, the majestic concubine Ning.

The Cabinet Scholars Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen were also panting from exhaustion, and the other accompanying magistrates were not much better. They all looked at the local prefect Cen Jie with resentment. Since they knew that His Majesty was going to hike into the mountain, why didn't they leave Make it smoother.

Cen Jie also wanted to cry, but he thought that His Majesty was going to enter the mountain in a chariot, and the road was only for big men in brocade clothes and some soldiers. Maybe His Majesty was just looking around, but never thought that His Majesty would go on foot to experience it.
