After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting colder and colder.

After Yan Chengjin got up in the morning, he put on a warm velvet coat and wore deerskin cotton shoes on his feet, which were hot.

Qianjin came over eagerly, with tears on her face: "Young master, the slave went to the warm house this morning and saw the peanuts that the young master told him to take care of well withered and died. ”

"Why are you so careless, deducting wages!" How can he be afraid that Yan Chengjin will deduct his salary.

The daughter didn't dare to say much, she naturally knew the rules of the strict mansion.

Yan Chengjin walked into the greenhouse, where porcelain pots of different sizes were planted with peppers, radishes and vegetables.

But what he cares about most is the peanut seedlings placed in the center of the greenhouse.

The peanut seedlings grew knee-high, and the leaves were yellow, and they looked like they could be plucked.

He ordered a man to pull it out and taste one.

"How does it taste?"

He Neng wrinkled his eyes, chewed a few times and said, "The little one can't be said." ”

"Go back to the house and observe for a day, and come back to report to Young Master Ben if you have nothing to do."

Peanuts were brought back from the Mangarat kingdom and are not known to be completely domesticated.

Some plants are not fully domesticated and are poisonous to eat.

These peanuts have grown dozens of grains, which are much smaller than the peanuts of later generations.

You can see the peanut shell and peanut rice, there is no difference.

"Prepare the sedan chair, this young master is going to the court."

………

Huguang, Anzhou Prefecture.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi received an edict from Emperor Hongzhi and entered Beijing for the assessment, and he sat upright in the main hall for a long time.

Isn't it because he asked the beggar to change the fief, and His Majesty wants to beat him?

He was beating a drum in his heart, and he was a little uneasy: "Does my father-in-law know, why do you want to enter Beijing for the assessment?" ”

After receiving a hundred taels of silver, Gonggong Li, who passed the decree, smiled: "The slave and maid don't dare to talk much, but in addition to the prince, there are nine princes who entered Beijing together." ”

The imperial court never allowed the prince to leave the feudal country.

His Majesty summoned the nine princes to enter Beijing together, and he was not allowed to bring his personal guards, but to visit Beijing.

Do you want to cut the domain?

After Eunuch Li left, Zhu Youqi became more and more unpredictable, but for now, it was better to pack his luggage and enter Beijing as soon as possible.

As long as the Queen Mother is still there, His Majesty will not dare to mess around.

………

Nanchang, Ningwangfu,

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, respectfully accepted the holy decree, and he knew exactly why His Majesty summoned them to Beijing.

"Could it be that the prince's plan was discovered by the emperor?"

"If that's the case, I won't be able to enter Beijing this time, I've been preparing for many years, if the prince is captured alive, I'm not busy in vain."

The strategists worried.

Zhu Chenhao laughed, waved his hand and said, "No, this king wants to enter Beijing, and this is the best opportunity to unite other vassal kings." ”

He had already learned the news that King Shou was in the fiefdom and the people had angered Emperor Hongzhi and had nothing to do with him.

What's more......

"This king wants to enter Beijing and see this Yan Chengjin!"

Zhu Chenhao couldn't wait, and hurriedly ordered someone to prepare, and according to the emperor's request, he made a micro visit to Beijing.

…………

After repeated attempts, Yan Chengjin finally admitted the fact that peanuts can be eaten.

He planned to write a letter and send it to Hainan to hand over to Xu Jinzhong, so that he could focus on cultivating peanuts in Hainan.

When there are more seeds, please play Your Majesty to promote the Ming Dynasty.

As for now, there is no hurry to report it.

It's almost October, and the capital hasn't seen the first snow yet, which is a very unusual thing.

At this time in the old age, the snow had already fallen, and the cold was biting.

In the early dynasty, it was cold.

The palace of the last dynasty changed from the Fengtian Hall to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Emperor Hongzhi tilted his head slightly, always feeling that something was missing, and when his eyes swept over the hall again, he found the clue.

Usually, the two brothers of the Zhang family would always stand in the corner and secretly nap.

but no one is seen today.

"What about Shou Ning Hou and Jian Changbo?"

The six departments are silent, and their relatives are not under their jurisdiction, so what does it matter to me where to go?

Xiao Jing bowed slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, the two lords are on sick leave for one year. ”

If he was really sick, Emperor Hongzhi wouldn't say anything, but what kind of illness should two people live together?

Yan Chengjin estimated that if the Zhang brothers hadn't died, they would have drifted to the Pacific Ocean.

The brothers asked someone to buy a boat and secretly went to sea at night.

The ships that leave the factory in Liangxiang have brands and certificates, and the city shipping department will not intercept them.

There are often merchant ships coming and going between North Korea and Hainan, and as long as you pretend to be a merchant ship going to Hainan, you can go all the way unimpeded.

Thinking of the Zhang brothers' millions of two properties, he decided not to report it.

lest the court send someone to rescue him.

Emperor Hongzhi just snorted lightly, as long as the two brothers didn't cause trouble, it wouldn't be considered to have touched his scales.

"Seeing that winter is about to begin, there is no snow yet, and next year is afraid that it will be a famine year.

It's best to get a snow.

"Obey the order!" Zhang Sheng glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, bowed his hand slightly, and buried his head again: "Annan came to pay tribute, and the envoy Ruan Yu was overwhelmed with travel and died in the capital. ”

The officials were in an uproar.

If the tribute is dead, it will be enough to die, and the court will have to collect the corpse......

Yan Chengjin thought so, this was the reason why he didn't go out of the capital.

The official roads of the Ming Dynasty are full of potholes, and the carriages are still hard wooden wheels.

At the end of the day, half of his life is gone.

Not to mention that it takes more than two months to travel from Annam to the capital, and the official road in the land of Yungui is not as good as the capital.

Paying tribute is also a highly dangerous job.

Emperor Hongzhi showed a look of pity, "Annan and my dynasty pay tribute, you can't ignore it, pass on my will, and give it a burial." ”

"Obey the order!"

"Where are the ten vassal kings I have called?"

Qin Hong stepped forward: "The fastest, it should be King Ning, he will enter the capital after receiving the order, and he will be able to arrive in the capital in these two days."

The rest of the vassal kings were all on their way to the capital. ”

The spies sent him news from the inn.

King Ning passed through Baoding Mansion yesterday.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, he couldn't imagine that King Ning was so active.

………

The suburbs of Beijing, green mountains and green waters.

On the official road, a team of chariots and horses walked slowly, and more than a dozen guards on large horses guarded the carriage.

Zhu Chenhao opened his eyes and asked, "How long will it take to get to the capital?" ”

"Back to the prince, there is still an hour, but do you want to come down and rest?"

"No need, the capital has the emperor's eyeliner, it's better to be thrifty, go to the capital and have a cup of tea to rest, what do you think of this king's clothes?"

Along the way, the prince asked many times.

The housekeeper smiled for the first time: "Dressed very plainly, like a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam." ”

Zhu Chenhao nodded with satisfaction.

Emperor Hongzhi has always advocated frugality, and this kind of clothing will definitely dispel his doubts.

Maybe you can gain his trust.

When he met the emperor, he went to see Yan Chengjin.

Although this person was unknown, he knew that the firearms pictures that Song Jing got were all from this person.

This man knows everything, including firearms, astronomy, the art of war, agriculture, and books.

He has contributed a lot to the creation of a prosperous market in a good township.

It's just that I heard that he is quite timid and low-key.

"After entering Beijing for a while, the palace will enter the palace and face the saint, you go to inquire about Yan Chengjin's mansion."

"The villain obeys"
