Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 281 The Emperor's Art

"You mean we killed the wrong one? The crime of deceiving the emperor deserves to be killed. This matter ends here, and we are not allowed to mention it again." Old Zhu ignored Li Shanchang's meaning.With a sullen face, he didn't say a word, but held the memorial tightly with his right hand.He was furious in his heart, but he waved his hand to signal him to take a step forward.

"The minister is here." Li Shanchang stepped forward.

"Li Xiang, you have been with us for many years. You know what we do. Once you find out, you will never tolerate it. You will deceive and tease us. If you don't kill us, it will be an eyesore."

Li Shanchang sighed slightly, and whispered gently to Lao Zhu: "You should be killed. It's just that I have something to report. Last winter, Shaanxi and Henan suffered the most from the snowstorm. Your Majesty thinks what should be done this year."

Old Zhu gave Li Shan a long look and said, "Naturally, the land rent in Shaanxi and Henan is exempted. It's rare that you have people in your heart. We are very happy."

"As a prime minister, it is only natural for me to serve the people and the country. I am grateful that His Majesty values ​​this old minister."

"Come, try our bitter tea. Now is the right time to drink it. You guys should come too." Lao Zhu signaled to Song Lian, Hu Weiyong, and Yang Xian to drink tea.

Hu Weiyong wiped the sweat from his forehead, stared at the tea in the cup, and drank it in one breath.

Bitter tea is what Lao Zhu used to revise the memorabilia to refresh himself. After drinking some, Yang Xian felt bitter in his mouth, but he couldn't stop praising him: "Good tea, good tea."

He ordered Yu Yi to take some tea bags, which were elegantly packaged and were tributes from the Korean envoys a few days ago.

"Come on, take some back to taste, it's all hard work, let's see." Lao Zhu handed the tea to Li Shanchang and said: "Go back and taste it."

The tea was divided into several portions, each of them brought a portion, they couldn't figure out that Lao Zhu was so murderous just now, and now he distributed the tribute tea to them.

When Zhu Biao came in, he saw that several of them were holding tribute tea in their hands, and nodded to them with a smile.

As soon as he sat down casually, the ambergris was brought up, and the maid cut off a small piece, put it on a special silver plate and lit it, and with the smoke curling up, the imperial study room was filled with a strong fragrance.

He closed his eyes and sniffed: "Father, this ambergris from Gaoli is indeed a good thing."

"We also think it's good, you can take some back later." Lao Zhu smiled triumphantly, held up the disassembled battle report, shook it, and threw it to him: "Go on."

Zhu Biao took the battle report and unfolded it to see that it was Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu who pacified Sichuan and were about to bring Ming Sheng to the capital. The escaped document Jiang did not know if he was in Sichuan or not.

Before Zhu Biao could speak, Old Zhu said to himself again: "A few days ago, we ordered Xu Da and his daughter to return to Beijing, and they will arrive soon. We are trying to get Xu Da to take Chang Mao to attack the Japanese."

"Why do you want to recall?" Zhu Biao originally wanted Li Wenzhong and Guo Ying to lead troops to attack Japan and develop Yinshan earlier.Now Lao Zhu's decision was notified too quickly, it seemed that he had already made up his mind.

Time was running short, the food, grass and soldiers for the Japanese attack in May were about to be ready, and Xu Da was suddenly recalled from Beiping, what happened.Let Chang Mao follow Xu Da to attack the Japanese.

"Li Xiong has done a good job. We asked Wen Zhong to go over and guard immediately. The frontier troops in various places are all separated from the Beiping Army. Beiping is very safe. Besides, Li Xiong was recommended by you, so you can't go wrong."

Li Xiong is Li Dabangzi's real name. Now that Li Wenzhong is being asked to manage the army, Zhu Biao still wants to ask why, but Lao Zhu motions him not to ask.

"Xu Da and Chang Yuchun are just like our left and right hands. Neither of them can do anything less, but the hands are important, and they still have to obey the command of the mind. Xu Da is invincible in battle, and Chang Mao follows him to hone and hone."

"Then Lan Yu and Chang Yuchun?"

"Sichuan is pacified, let them have a good rest and enjoy the blessings. We have already let Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, and Wu Liang, the deputy of Jiangyin, crusade against Dongman in Guangxi."

Taking turns this time?Lao Zhu is the rhythm of a bowl of water. Zhu Biao guessed that this is a balance.

"Girls of the two families, we can't favor one over the other. Sooner or later, we will enter the palace. In addition, we have asked Li Shangyi and the Ministry of Rites to prepare for your marriage, sooner rather than later. The rules and regulations must be the same as when we welcomed Chang's family. You too Can you treat them more favorably than others."

Old Zhu's ambergris is indeed very expensive, this was planned long ago, cutting a small piece of ambergris changed so many things, it's a shame.

"Do you feel bad, kid?"

"I do not have."

"No loss, you will know our intentions in the future."

"Then let the fourth brother assist Zhao Yunsheng to supervise the navy, and entrust him with important tasks in the future." Zhu Biao thought, since employing people would be risky anyway, then let Zhu Di and Zhao Yunsheng manage the Daming navy together. Familiar with the familiar, do the foundation.

"As you wish." Old Zhu generously agreed.

"I heard you threw Zhu Xing into the Weaving Bureau?"

"Yes, give him something to do."

"Minmin Tie Mu'er will be sent to you tonight. She and us only need a place to live and live with her sister-in-law, and she is willing to be the lowest concubine. You help us with this matter, the East Palace is so Great, arranging a yard won’t be a problem.”

"My son, take it down."

As soon as the sky turned pale, Zhu Xi went to the dyeing workshop with the weaving eunuch. It wasn't because he was diligent or willing to come, but he was forced to come, and was coerced and lured by his elder brother.

Wrapped in a blanket, Zhu Xun stood in front of the big vat sleepily, and the weaving eunuch personally told the steps to let Zhu Xun stir the dyeing vat.

Holding the dyeing stick in both hands, Zhu Xi's legs were fixed like a horse's step, and he started to stir, and it was evenly mixed after a few strokes, and the swirling patterns in the water were very beautiful.

"It's the first time His Royal Highness King Qin has stirred the dye so well. It's really amazing. Just a few strokes of the ink will be enough."

"Are you praising me, or hurting me? Why did you stir it up so well for the first time? Why do you do it a few times? Do you think my dyeing vat is a big dyeing vat? It's just a bucket of ink."

"It's the little one who made a mistake, damn it."

"roll."

The weaving eunuch was about to leave, but was dragged back by Zhu Xi: "Go, take two chicken legs, I'm hungry."

"His Royal Highness Qin, please stir slowly, I will go to the kitchen to see if there are any chicken legs." The weaving eunuch slipped away swiftly.

Not long after, two big steamed buns were delivered.

Zhu Xi looked at it for a long time, wishing to paste two steamed buns on the face of the weaving eunuch, but after thinking about it, he turned his anger into appetite and cleaned up the big steamed buns.

After all, there are very few white steamed buns. Last night, my eldest brother only asked people to give me two mixed grain steamed buns.

After eating steamed buns, you have to work. This real work starts from the bottom. After returning home, you must stew some fat legs for yourself in the palace, and eat them to your heart's content.

It's best to have a few roasted chickens, roasted ducks and steamed geese. It's better to behave well, try to make the eldest brother happy, and go back by yourself.

Throwing the remaining steamed buns into his mouth, and stuffing his robe around his waist, he followed the dye master to work with all his strength.

At the end of the day, my face is covered with colorful dyes, and I have to follow Daotong to study account books at night.

My arms are sore, my legs are sore, and there is no maid to rub me.Thinking about it, I feel that Zhu Yan is really happy. He spends his whole day in charge of the Daming Museum and the drama club, collecting money, and watching those dancers rehearse dramas.

At dinner, Zhu Xi sat in his room and finished a few dishes and porridge, and poured half a pot of tea with him, and then he burped.

Lying down on all fours, the weaving eunuch sneaked in to have a look, helped Zhu Xi close the window and door, and walked out quietly.

Daotong stood outside the door: "His Royal Highness King Qin fell asleep, go and bring him the account he made today, I'm going over it."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered to take good care of King Qin.Let's take a look at the dye here. "The weaving eunuch said and left.
