Hearing Sun Heding's refusal, Zhu Cihong expressed his understanding, of course he would not just give up, and then said: "This palace has also heard of Lord Sun's talent, and being framed and killed by traitors is really a loss for the country. ”

Zhu Cihong's words shocked Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have this kind of insight at a young age.

Especially from his mouth, the word traitor, everyone present, including Xu Sheng and Wu Zhong, knew who the traitor in His Highness's mouth was referring to, that was the head of the cabinet of the dynasty, Wen Tiren.

"Master......" Wu Zhong reminded Zhu Cihong in a low voice, wanting him to pay attention to what he said.

Zhu Cihong didn't feel reckless, and continued: "What? framed a loyal minister, is he gentle and benevolent not a traitor? ”

"Your Highness, please don't say any more......." Sun Heding hurriedly persuaded.

Zhu Cihong's ability to take a stand on the spot has already moved Sun Heding, however, Zhu Cihong's words will also bring trouble to himself.

It is true that the traitorous ministers framed it, but it was Chongzhen who finally ordered the killing of Sun Yuanhua, Zhu Cihong said this, isn't it a disguised accusation against the current emperor?

Of course, Zhu Cihong knows this truth, but he is not afraid, except for Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding, it is Wu Zhong and Xu Sheng, these two will never betray themselves.

As for Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding, they will denounce him unless they have something wrong with their brains. This is also the reason why he dares to speak out, all in order to win over Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhu Cihong stopped talking nonsense and directly said the biggest bargaining chip: "Mr. Sun, please rest assured, one day, I will definitely rehabilitate Ling Zun." ”

Hearing the personal promise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, Sun Heding's body trembled slightly, and then he knelt down on the spot, his eyes were a little moist, and said: "The grass people are willing to die for His Highness!" ”

Zhu Cihong helped Sun Heding up, looked at Tang Ruowang again, and said, "Mr. Tang, I will ask His Majesty Father to give you a plaque for the Catholic Emperor, which will be of some help to your mission." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, you are really a strange person, and you have the demeanor of a wise monarch at a young age." John Tang danced excitedly.

Seeing the two people who were done, Zhu Cihong was naturally very happy, and the three of them began to sit down and chat in detail.

Zhu Cihong talked about the development of flintlock pistols in later generations, and wanted to have a goal for the research of the two of them. Then he chatted with John Tang and Sun Heding about astronomy, mathematics and other fields.

Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding glanced at each other, and they both felt the shock in each other's eyes, is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him still human? Less than ten years old, you know so much? Some of them are even more advanced than the two of them.

Could it really be the reincarnation of a real dragon? Up to now, John Tang and Sun Heding, who have never been superstitious, have actually wavered in their beliefs.

"Master, it's time to go back to the palace for dinner." Wu Zhong reminded softly.

Zhu Cihong was a little unhappy and said, "What's the hurry, I hate to meet the two gentlemen late, don't disturb us." ”

He didn't deliberately pretend to sell well, but really had a deep conversation with the two of them.

After Zhu Cihong came to the Ming Dynasty, although he was born and raised for a few years, in the ancient environment, there was no light and no electricity, and his heart was still very depressed.

Especially the eunuchs and palace maids around them, they are either superstitious or nagging, if they are basically the same as stupid coins in later generations, Zhu Cihong can hardly talk to them, so he can only arrange them to do things.

Today, when I met Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding, talking about some modern knowledge, Zhu Cihong's heart seemed to be liberated.

"Your Highness might as well dine here and taste exotic flavors." Sun Heding proposed.

Zhu Cihong nodded, smiled at Tang Ruowang and said, "But, I will eat here with Mr. Tang today." ”

Tang Ruowang was naturally pleased, and hurriedly took his subordinates to cook in person, while Zhu Cihong and Sun Heding continued to discuss the matter of the flintlock pistol.

It didn't take long for John Tang and his subordinates to prepare a sumptuous meal.

John Tang personally came out with two cups of tea and said, "There are no good dishes at home, and I hope Your Highness will take care of one or two more." ”

Zhu Cihong took the tea, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I thought Mr. Tang was bringing me coffee, but it turned out to be Biluochun." ”

Tang Ruowang's eyes widened, and he said, "Oh, God, the coffee you said is called 'devil's drink' in our country, and it can't be drunk, how dare I give His Highness that kind of thing." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and didn't say anything, it seems that coffee is not popular in Europe yet, and Catholicism is still rejecting coffee at this time. Later, the Pope tasted it and thought it was drinkable, and blessed the coffee, and coffee gradually became popular in Europe, but that was only a few decades later.

"Is this chili?" Zhu Cihong picked up the red pepper in a dish and said in surprise.

Since he came to Daming, he has never seen chili peppers in these years, and the spicy taste in the imperial diet is mixed with mustard and green onions, ginger and garlic, and he can't feel the authentic spicy taste at all.

"This is a pepper, extremely spicy, Your Highness be careful." Tang Ruowang hurriedly reminded.

"Isn't this a chili pepper, I recognize it!" Zhu Cihong laughed and took a bite.

Suddenly, a spicy feeling rushed to his head, Zhu Cihong felt refreshed, and the whole person was different. He used to love spicy food the most, but now he tastes this long-lost taste again, which makes him feel indescribable!

"It's ....... His Royal Highness is really a god and a man, and ......." Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding looked at Zhu Cihong's eyes full of admiration.

Although chili peppers were introduced to Daming decades ago, some people have tried to eat them, but because they are particularly spicy, people who have eaten them have been touched by their senses, and they think they are poisoned!

Since then, almost no one dares to eat it, and only the chili pepper is regarded as an ornamental grass flower, and it is recorded in a book called "Grass Flower Spectrum", called "Pepper".

"Cool!" Zhu Cihong took a sip of tea and couldn't help but admire.

During the meal, Zhu Cihong chatted with Tang Ruowang about some chili peppers, such as where can I get a large batch of chili now?

Although John Tang didn't know why the prince was so interested in chili peppers, he still answered carefully, and finally gave Zhu Cihong some chili seeds and explained how to cultivate them.

Zhu Cihong understood as soon as he heard it, he was in another time and space, but he had planted peppers with his own hands, although it was for fun, but he also knew a lot about peppers, mainly because it was too simple, as long as he found a place with a suitable temperature, he could plant it.

Zhu Cihong planned to buy some land in the south in the name of a private person to grow peppers in a large area, and finally considered choosing the southern part of Anhui, where the rebellion had just been quelled, and many large landlords' land was uncultivated and abandoned, so it was most appropriate to buy it at a low price at this time.

As for why peppers are planted, Zhu Cihong naturally won't say to the two of them, this is the way to make a fortune!

After finishing the meal, Zhu Cihong first stabilized Tang Ruowang and Sun Heding, and asked them to study in the laboratory here first, and then arrange for them when he returned to the palace to ask Emperor Chongzhen.
