In the blink of an eye, it has come to June, the scorching sun is in the sky, the flowers are red and willow green next to the Taiye Pond in the West Garden of the Imperial City, and the willow trees are constantly shouting, and the city of Beijing has officially entered the midsummer season.

In Beijing, where the weather is getting hotter, many people who love to eat have another place to go, that is, the famous Dezhuang hot pot in Beijing.

Dezhuang hot pot, not only the decoration is exquisite, the service is good, and the dish is superb, it is said that there are a few famous dishes are the imperial food from the palace, especially the signature hot pot, it is really delicious!

Within a month, Dezhuang hot pot has become famous all over Beijing, and has opened three branches in the capital, and even opened a new one in Tongzhou, which shows that the business is booming.

In the newly opened Dezhuang hot pot on Qianmen Street, the most prosperous street in the outer city, countless distinguished guests come every day. This Dezhuang hot pot restaurant has only two floors, and the first floor is the lobby, with tables next to each other, dense and compact.

The second floor is spacious, but there are few tables and chairs, and there is a screen in the middle between each table and chair, which is about three or four meters apart, and the layout is very exquisite.

On the second floor, near the window, there were four people sitting around, they were happily eating hot pot, looking at the empty pool of water outside the window, the water mist was steaming, and they looked extremely comfortable.

The environment is very nice, the only thing is that you can hear the voice of the next door.

"Young master, this dish tastes a little spicy, you can eat less." Wu Zhong said worriedly.

"I said Steward Wu, don't talk nonsense, you can't stop your mouth when you eat." Zhu Cihong said while eating.

Xu Sheng and Li Tingbiao were also in the seat, and the two of them were very restrained, especially this hot pot was spicy, and they didn't dare to eat more, for fear of losing their manners in front of the king.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhu Cihong immediately said unhappily: "Why do you two look like little ladies?" All the masters, open up to eat, young master, I can take care of enough! ”

Zhu Cihong finally took some time and invited a few henchmen to get together, as it was the celebration banquet of the people, and by the way, to see how the hot pot restaurant was doing.

Just as a few people were opening up and eating with relish, the sound of conversation came from next door to the screen.

"It's really rude for the East Palace to let officials and businessmen sit together."

"Brother Guang, have you heard? The East Palace also let the homeless people block the door of dozens of ministers' mansions, and let the Jinyi Guards force donations. ”

"Hehe, who doesn't know, in the past half a month, it has been spread all over the officialdom in the capital, but it's a pity that Your Majesty protects the calf."

"Brother Guang, be cautious......"

Xu Sheng was furious when he heard this, and stood up suddenly, ready to get someone.

Zhu Cihong shook his head and stretched out his hand to stop Xu Sheng, it is impossible for ordinary people to see through this, there must be officials secretly spreading unfavorable remarks about him, he wants to hear what else they want to say, it is best to mention someone who has some information.

Li Tingbiao stared at the screen and frowned, and also clenched his fists, he was a retainer of the East Palace, and the people next door were disrespectful to Zhu Cihong, that is, disrespectful to him.

At this time, I heard a conversation next door.

"Not only that, it is said that the East Palace also forced those wealthy businessmen to donate."

"As a prince, it is really a misfortune for the country to extort rich businessmen and force officials to donate money."

The person next door looked extremely contemptuous when he said this, and Zhu Cihong clenched his fists without hearing this.

"Presumptuous!!"

Xu Sheng shouted angrily, and many people who were shocked looked at the screen here.

"Who the hell wants to die, it affects the mood of the master to drink soup." There was an angry scolding voice next door, and it was the person who was talking about Zhu Cihong.

The person who made the sound had just scooped a spoonful of hot pot soup and tasted it, and before the soup could be swallowed, he was startled by Xu Sheng's thick voice, choking very uncomfortably, his throat was spicy and painful, and he immediately became hairy.

Zhu Cihong looked at Xu Sheng, who was about to ask for his life, and instructed lightly: "You go and bring me the person who is talking, and let me see who is talking so arrogantly." ”

"Yes!" Xu Sheng got the order and immediately walked next door.

"Who are you reckless man, and what are you going to do?" There was a scream from next door, like a ruined little lady.

"Do you know who I am? I am Guangheng, my father is Guang Shiheng, and he is the military department of the dynasty, and even His Majesty has to give some face, you dare to make me ......"

"Smack!!"

A loud slap came out, and Guangheng screamed miserably, covering his face and screaming.

After a while, Guangheng and the other person were dragged over by Xu Sheng one by one as if they were dragging livestock.

Xu Sheng threw the two of them on the ground casually, and then stood beside Zhu Cihong.

These two are not very old, they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, but in the Ming Dynasty, they can marry wives and have children at this age, and Emperor Chongzhen got married when he was fifteen years old.

Zhu Cihong glanced at the two of them, then stared at the young man named Guangheng, and said with some surprise: "Are you saying that Ling Zun is a soldier who gives Guang Shiheng in the matter?" ”

"Exactly!" Guangheng looked at the surprised expression of the kid in front of him, and felt that the other party must be scared, so he took out the folding fan from the jade belt and skillfully opened it, and fanned it twice.

Zhu Cihong was really surprised, he didn't expect to meet Guang Shiheng's son here, that Guang Shiheng was the one who had refuted the holy decree of Zhu Cihong's governor Jingying, and he was also the fool who tried his best to prevent the crown prince from going to Nanjing in history.

"It's really not that enemies don't get together, hehehehe!" Zhu Cihong smiled secretly in his heart.

Guang Heng snorted angrily, and said contemptuously: "Boy, your house slave just injured us, if you can kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, young master, I can spare you once, if you dare to say the word 'no', don't even think about getting out of here." ”

Seeing that there was a dispute here, the oldest inheritance of the Chinese was instantly reflected, many people gathered around to see the excitement, and some people narrowed their eyes, revealing an intriguing look.

Although Guang Shiheng is only in the middle of the seven-grade thing, he has a lot of power in his hands, and he is still the person who is the head of the court and Wen Tiren, and he has some background. The few people in front of him looked calm, and they were not simple people, maybe they were the little young masters of the Seven Qings.

However, except for Lord Tang Shiji, Qiqing's other adults all live in the inner city, and this is obviously not from the Tang Mansion. No matter who they are, just look at it, this is the idea in the minds of many people.

Most of the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division were sent by Zhu Cihong to maintain law and order outside the city, and no one could come for a while.

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly and asked, "There are only two of us, how can we not get out of here?" ”

Zhu Cihong was afraid that telling his identity would scare this stupid hat to death, so he deliberately provoked him. Wu Zhong, Li Tingbiao and Xu Sheng also had faint smiles on their faces, looking at Guangheng, they all felt that this guy was simply stupid and cute.

Guangheng looked at the few people in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky, and suddenly his anger rose in his heart, pointed to the young man beside him, and said loudly: "Do you know who this young master next to me is?" ”

When the young man next to Guangheng saw him mention, he felt that it was time to perform, so he jumped out at that time and said loudly: "I am Dong Mao, the son of Shuntianfu Yin, boy, don't take the road, you want to go against the young master, I can only blame you for not knowing Mount Tai." ”

The people watching the play around were in an uproar, this young man was actually the son of Shuntianfu Yin. Suncheon Yin was the supreme governor of the capital's public security and government affairs, and had the ability to influence, change, or even overthrow many yamen through the emperor's resolutions. This great god is not something that ordinary people dare to offend, even if it is the seventh secretary of the court and the emperor, the emperor's relatives and relatives, he has to sell a little face.

Note: When I wrote about Taiye Pool today, I found that the chapter of the eleventh Yongwei Camp mentioned the Beihai School Yard incorrectly, and Beijing's Beihai, Zhongnanhai and other places were collectively referred to as "Taiye Pool" in the Ming Dynasty.

The Manchus liked to call rivers and lakes "sea", which was changed to "sea" during the Jin Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty continued to use this name.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the Han people would be Huized, so he adhered to the standard of "inheriting the Zhou and Han dynasties and taking the Tang and Song dynasties" and forcibly restored the Han culture on a large scale.

After all, during the Tang Dynasty, there was also a Taiye Pool in the capital Chang'an, and it was very famous. It is a pity that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the name "sea" was used again, and it has continued to this day.
