The weather in Beijing has entered October and is starting to get very cool.

The sweet potatoes planted by the people of Xincheng were also harvested, and Zhu Cihong personally went to Xincheng to inspect it, only to see that in the fields outside the east gate of Xincheng, there were dense people digging sweet potatoes.

Ren Guangyu, the magistrate of the county, smiled with a huge sweet potato eyebrow: "The yield of this sweet potato that His Highness said is really high, ordinary one acre of land can harvest one stone of wheat, and the sum of summer wheat and autumn millet is only two stones, and the yield of this sweet potato per mu is several times higher." ”

Although the yield per mu of this sweet potato is very high, Zhu Cihong is not satisfied, the sweet potato in later generations, the general yield of spring potatoes per mu is 2,000 kilograms, the yield of summer potatoes per mu is 1,000 kilograms, and the total of spring and summer is 3,000 kilograms, that is, 6,000 catties.

Now the output of the new city is not even half, and it has not reached the harvest of dozens of stones per mu recorded by Xu Guangqi during this period.

Zhu Cihong estimated that because of geographical reasons, sweet potatoes are suitable for the Central Plains and the south, the lower the temperature in the north, the worse the yield, and the reason for the good seeds, the sweet potatoes have just been planted in the new city, and they are not good seeds, and they should go through several growth and cultivation.

These will take time to solve, Zhu Cihong is not in a hurry, the current output is enough for the people of Xincheng to eat, and the excess sweet potatoes can also be exchanged for grain in nearby states and counties to pay taxes and improve their lives.

Zhu Cihong returned to Xincheng County, and just sat down to drink tea, only to see Wu Zhong coming in a hurry.

"Master, Master Li has sent a secret report." Wu Zhong handed over a piece of information.

Zhu Cihong took a look, his brows suddenly furrowed, and there were faint sparks in his eyes, and he said angrily: "These things don't know whether they are dead or alive!" ”

Li Tingbiao reported that there was a royal history play, and there were 20,000 horses in the Yongwei Battalion near the Beijing Division in the East Palace, and the troops were self-respecting, and there was a fear of a change in Xuanwumen!

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who was the king of Qin, held military power, and finally killed the crown prince's brother, put the emperor's father under house arrest, and became the emperor himself.

It's just that Zhu Cihong didn't expect this group of officials to be so vicious, and they used their military power and throne to touch Emperor Chongzhen's bottom line.

According to Li Tingbiao, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the court staff to be an alarmist imperial history, and after receiving a round of twenty canes, this imperial history was still lying on the straw mat to write a chapter, and his physique was not solid.

This imperial historian did not judge the situation and retreat in the face of difficulties, he ignored the warning of the ancestral spirit, and without hesitation, he exchanged the second movement for the deadly twenty court staff again.

Since it was fatal, of course it capsized, and this imperial historian was directly killed alive by Jinyiwei.

The imperial history was killed by the cane, and the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate immediately fried the pot, and under the leadership of Tang Shiji, they went to the noon gate to do things, so that the emperor could open the door to admonish, cultivate virtue and govern the heart, and get close to the Confucian ministers, and the matter was quite big.

Find someone to join forces, seize the weakness of the target and hit the emperor's scar, play conspiracy at all costs, harm others and benefit himself, disown his relatives, and even sacrifice the lives of innocent people, these are Wen Tiren's consistent methods, don't think about it, he must be doing something.

Zhu Cihong feels bad, Chongzhen's ears are too soft, and he is suspicious by nature, even if he cherishes himself on weekdays, but in the royal family, he touches the imperial power.......

As the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ju was made the crown prince at the age of seven, and won the trust of Emperor Wu.

"Back to Beijing!" Zhu Cihong quickly got up and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, "Take the silver to buy fifty catties of good-looking sweet potatoes and bring them back to the palace." ”

"Yes!" Wu Zhong answered, and immediately asked the guards to do it.

As soon as Zhu Cihong returned to the imperial city, Li Tingbiao immediately greeted him.

"How many canes did that imperial history suffer?" Zhu Cihong asked as he walked.

Li Tingbiao followed closely and said, "Back to His Highness, I first beat him twenty times, and half an hour later, the guy played again, and His Majesty ordered another twenty beats." ”

Zhu Cihong asked: "Twenty strokes to death?" Did your people do it? ”

Li Tingbiao shook his head and said: "It's not a lowly person, it's Luo Yangxing who is supervising, and he is putting the eight characters inside." ”

"What's inside?"

Li Tingbiao explained: "The court staff in the palace has a doorway, and the executive Jinyi guard will look at the meaning of the overseer, if the tip of the overseer's boots is outward into a figure-eight shape, he will start lightly, and the Jinyi guard will raise the staff high and pat it gently, if the tip of the overseer's boots is inward into a figure-eight shape, then the hand will be heavier and hit to death." ”

Zhu Cihong's footsteps suddenly paused, and said: "It seems that Luo Yangxing is not willing to be lonely, and wants to mess things up." ”

Luo Yangxing's comic comparison, he originally wanted to promote Li Tingbiao to the commander of the Jinyiwei overhead, but Li Tingbiao went out with the army, and was reported by Zhu Cihong for military merit and promoted to become the second person in Jinyiwei.

Luo Yangxing felt uncomfortable in his heart, Zhu Cihong didn't know, he only knew that this comic not only had contradictions with the eunuch party led by Wen Tiren, but also had friction with himself, and now he was isolated by the two parties, and he was completely a-stirring stick.

Li Tingbiao continued: "Your Highness, there is another discovery of the humble position. ”

Zhu Cihong stopped: "You say." ”

Li Tingbiao leaned over to him and said in a low voice: "The dark line report of the lowly position in the big fish, where you go every day, what you are doing, and even what you say, the big fish knows, and the lowly judgment should have a lot of eunuch eyeliner in the palace." ”

Zhu Cihong frowned slightly: "Can you roughly determine which of the twenty-four prisons they are?" ”

Li Tingbiao replied: "According to the range of your daily movements, it is easy for the people of the celebrant supervisor, the internal official supervisor and the Shangshan food supervisor to come into contact with you. ”

"Got it!" Zhu Cihong nodded.

The palace is not like outside the palace, although the Jinyi guard has the right to enter and exit the palace, but he can't walk around, let alone arrest people in the palace casually, if he wants to take off the eyeliner in the palace, it is not easy, so he can only outwit.

Zhu Cihong walked through the Chengtian Gate and came to the Wumen Square, only to see a large number of speech officials kneeling in front of the Wumen, wanting to enter the palace to face the saints.

Zhu Cihong walked directly through the Yanguan with his hands behind his back, and entered the palace directly from the left door of the noon gate, without even looking at this group of dogs.

"Arrogance!" Looking at the back of the crown prince, some officials said indignantly.

"Chen Yushi was killed with a rod because he was convicted, and the blood stains were not dry, he actually ignored us so much!"

The officials in front of the noon gate angrily reprimanded Zhu Cihong's arrogant behavior, but it was useless, they had to kneel outside to bask in the sun.

Zhu Cihong first came to the Wenhua Hall to meet Emperor Chongzhen, and after saluting, he found that his father was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Cihong didn't want to ask about it, and Chongzhen just stopped talking when Zhu Cihong saluted, and buried his head in reviewing the recital.

Wang Chengen was silent on the side, just helping to sort out the notebook and polish the imperial ink, and the Wenhua Hall was extremely quiet for a while.

Zhu Cihong explained to Wu Zhong with his ear, and asked him to go to Shangshan to bake some sweet potatoes, and then came to the dragon case to learn to deal with government affairs on the side.
