At noon one day, Chen Ye's information was placed on the emperor's desk

"Your Majesty, the fourteenth prince is waiting outside the door," a little eunuch on duty said with a laugh.

"Let him in," the emperor looked at and continued to correct the recital

"Brother, knock to see the emperor"

"Get up" The emperor got up and helped the fourteenth prince up.

The fourteenth prince, Han Zheng, in fact, the emperor's brother, made great contributions in the process of the emperor's struggle for the throne, and many officials were won over by him. After the emperor's success, he basically retreated to the third line, playing every day, playing some strange things, and rarely responsible for political affairs.

"Fourteenth brother, this trip, it's hard, the bandits are not injured, I heard that in order to keep the soldiers from being injured, you went to the bandits' den alone to persuade the bandit leader to surrender, and you can't take this risk in the future."

"Minister, thank you for your concern"

"Don't always kneel in the future, we are brothers, after hearing your news, the Queen Mother is very worried, and I will go over to visit her old man in a while" After speaking, the emperor motioned to the purple-robed eunuch and presented the things.

It was a few plates of desserts, and they were served.

"Fourteenth brother, this is your favorite dessert, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk" The emperor signaled to the fourteenth prince not to be polite.

"Thank you, Father-in-law Zhou," the fourteenth prince respectfully accepted.

The brothers chatted with each other again, and the fourteenth prince went to the harem to meet the queen mother.

In fact, before Emperor Han Qing became the emperor, the relationship between them was the best, they had nothing to say, and they could share any good things. After Han Qing became the emperor, Han Zheng is now an idle prince and does not enter the court. Since Han Qing came to power, Han Zheng has felt the unpredictability of the monarch every time, and there is still some brotherhood in his heart. He is already a courtier, but he still has to maintain respect, after the Queen Mother is gone, no one knows how long this brotherhood will last.

"You tell me about the actual situation," after the fourteenth prince left, he said to Gonggong Zhou.

"According to our spies, it was a young man named Chen Ye who entered the village alone and persuaded the bandit leader to shoot without a single knife or shot. According to the emperor's arrangement, Chen Ye has gone to Hangzhou to study. ”

Zhou Gonggong continued: "After arriving in Hangzhou, he set up a printing association, invented a new printing method, and invented soap, which is the soap used by various concubines in the palace."

The emperor was amazed: "New printing method? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to this printing method, the price of books can be reduced by two-thirds." Gonggong Zhou stopped to look at the emperor's pensive expression.

"I know, let's go down" The emperor's psychology is also roughly calculated, this is a good thing, if it is popularized throughout the country, it will benefit more poor people. In this way, the power of the family can be weakened, and now the first thing is to prevent the family from getting this secret recipe, and one day Chen Ye can promote it openly and openly when he dedicates it to the public.

"Send someone to guard this secret recipe, don't leak it," the emperor suddenly said.

"Then Chen Ye still needs to send someone to protect him"

"Business as usual". Zhou Gonggong bowed his head and said yes

"This soap is a tribute to the history of Hangzhou Thorns, what is it called, what is it called......"

"Lu Tieqiang," Zhou Gonggong hurriedly reminded

"Reward"

"Then the slave will go and arrange" Father-in-law Zhou left and went to arrange.

Chen Ye was relaxing for a few days, and he was going to start studying at the academy. Wansong Academy. Wansong Academy is located in Wansong Ridge, Phoenix Mountain, on the southern edge of West Lake, and has a history of 800 years. Wansong Academy is the largest, longest-lasting, and most influential place for literati in the Zhongshan Kingdom.

Wansong Academy is one of the most beautiful scenery in Hangzhou, in the early morning, the bells and reading books echo throughout the West Lake.

Wansong Academy has three functions: book collection, sacrifice, and lecture, especially many great Confucians will come to give lectures.

Chen Ye is a wonder in the academy, he only reads books and never asks questions. I read books every day, and I don't make many friends. If you have nothing to do, you go to the library to read a book, and then look down at the book, and look at it for a day, and you have to hold the book to read when you are lecturing.

"Brother Chen, good morning" I saw a young man sitting next to Chen Ye with a smile.

"I haven't seen you" Chen Ye had some doubts and continued to read the book

"My father thinks I'm not angry, and I was just sent to the academy by my father recently." The boy humbly introduced his intentions.

"Mmmm, I'll give you a book to see" Chen Ye just threw a book to him at random.

The boy didn't speak, but read the book seriously.

"Brother Lu, I am Lu Allied Army, the son of Hangzhou Assassin Shi, and I hereby meet you." I saw that the young man didn't speak, but Chen Ye looked at Lu Allied Army, this is his big customer, it seems that this young man's origin is not simple, and the son of Hangzhou Thorn Shi came to visit him in person. I couldn't help but look at the boy carefully.

"Brother Chen Ye, good morning" Chen Ye nodded. Lu Mengjun had long known that Chen Ye was the one who invented soap, and since he started this business, his family status has not improved, and he has also made a lot of money.

"Brother Lu is here, just sit down and read." The boy said, then looked down at the book.

In this way, the three people read the book silently, and the others did not dare to come and disturb when they saw the three people reading.

As the morning passed, Chen Ye felt a little hungry and stretched.

"I'm going to eat, are you going to go?" he said, looking at the two of them.

"After Brother Chen said that, I also felt that I was hungry," the boy said.

The three of them were ready to eat like this, Chen Ye directly brought them to the guest again, anyway, they all had carriages, and Chen Ye could lead the way directly. And Chen Ye doesn't like to be casually put into his carriage, and there are only three people in the carriage so far, Chen Ye, Zhao Xiao, and Zhao Feifei.

After coming to the guest again, after the guy saw Chen Ye, he took him directly to the private room on the second floor. This room is not marked with a name, as if it was set up by Wei Chen Ye alone.

After arriving at the room, Chen Ye taught the two of them the menu and asked them to order, they had eaten too many times, and they didn't want to cook, so Chen Ye would eat here every time he was in the academy at noon.

Lu Allied Army didn't dare to order, so he taught the menu to the teenager. The boy ordered a few dishes at random and asked for a little wine.

"Brother Chen, why don't you ask me what my identity is, why did Lu Allied Army treat me like this"

"I don't ask, you won't say"

The young man who asked was a little embarrassed, as if it was such a reason.

Lu Allied Army was afraid that Chen Ye would offend the young man, so he turned sideways and said in Chen Ye's ear: "He is the son of the prime minister, Lu Yong"

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be the son of the prime minister" Chen Ye looked at the young man apologetically.

The young man looked at Chen Ye and apologized sincerely, without the slightest fear in his eyes, and was not afraid of his identity.

"Isn't Brother Chen afraid of my identity?" There was something strange about the teenager.

"Your father is the prime minister, aren't you" Lu Allied Army's face turned gray after hearing this, and he was frightened by Chen Ye.

"Then why doesn't Brother Chen know that I won't be the prime minister in the future?" The boy said with some pride.

Chen Ye looked at the young man and said: "From ancient times to the present, there have been 113 prime ministers, and 5 sons are prime ministers, and the end is not particularly good."

Lu Allied Army has the heart to die, are you cursing the prime minister and the prime minister's son? And said it in front of people.

"Brother Chen, has you counted it? , Brother Chen, aren't you afraid that I will hear enough to retaliate against you? ”

Lu Allied thought to himself that it was over, that he was going to be angry.

"I believe that Brother Lu will not, because Brother Lu can read with a calm heart, and still read such a boring book," Chen Ye said firmly

"Those who know me, Brother Chen, I am very curious, how can Brother Chen invent so many things?"

"The power of learning from things," Chen Ye replied sincerely.

"What is the power of learning from things?" The boy was a little confused.

"The power to change the world is immeasurable"

"Is it immortal?" Lu Allied said

Just as he was about to speak, the food and wine had been served, and a chef was standing next to him. looked at Chen Ye, and then at the others.

Chen Ye said: "They are all classmates, not outsiders, you can say whatever you have", Chen Ye knows this person and has met a few times, it is Yang Wei's apprentice, Peng Shi.

"Master, I have created a new dish, I want you to taste it, judge and judge" Peng Shi stood aside and said respectfully.

With Chen Ye's consent, Peng Shi picked up the separate bowl and chopsticks, picked up the dish, dipped it in the sauce, and respectfully placed it in the bowl in front of Chen Ye.

This is a typical steamed dish, which was discovered by this little apprentice, but the dish was steamed, and the sauce was still okay.

"It's okay to steam the vegetables, you can wrap the vegetables a little with noodles to let the noodles stick evenly to the dishes, and the salt is directly with the sauce. You go back and try it."

"Thank you for your teaching, thank you for your name" Peng Shi knelt directly on the place and made a big gift to Chen Ye.

"Don't call me Master, call me Gongzi in the future" Chen Ye looked at Peng, he was always called Shizun when he was young, and he was always awkward. Peng Shi listened to all of Chen Ye's specific suggestions and went down to study this new dish.

In fact, why do the people below respect Chen Ye so much, this is all explained by Yang Wei in advance, Chen Ye is his own master, as long as my apprentice directly calls the master in the future, I must be respectful than seeing him, otherwise I will be expelled from the master and not allowed to use the technique of stir-frying.
