Chapter 290: Afraid

As Guan Renli said, the two tents are indeed not too far apart. In less than a while, Zhang Rui and the group of people came to the camp where Zhu Dachang was.

"King Han has arrived..."

The sound of the announcement outside the camp tent came, Zhu Dachang and Zhu Yizhang hurriedly walked out, looking at Zhang Rui and the others who came, Zhu Dachang and Zhu Yizhang did not have any pretentiousness, and immediately bowed and shouted:

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han."

The ancients paid attention to the princes of heaven and earth, and in front of the emperor, even as Zhang Rui's elders, they had to naturally be inferior to the next generation.

"Grandpa and uncle are polite, they are all their own family, hurry up and calm down!" Zhang Rui stepped forward and helped the two of them and said.

"Weichen has received the decree, thank you to the king of Han." Zhu Dachang replied more respectfully with Zhu Yizhang, for fear that others would spread his arrogant and domineering words.

For his own family, Zhang Rui hopes that they can be casual, and there is no need to get so many courtesies, which seems to be raw.

However, Zhu Dachang and Zhu Yizhang don't think so. This courtesy of the monarch is not only to be worshipped to Zhang Rui, but rather to be worshiped by others. Although this week is a bit troublesome, if you don't pray, it will not be trouble, but it is easy to cause trouble for yourself. And Zhang Rui has abolished the bow ceremony, a bow salute, it is really nothing, just a meeting to say hello.

"It's hot and sunny outside, let's go inside and shade first!" Zhang Rui beckoned the two and said.

"Yes..."

As Zhang Rui entered the camp and sat on the main seat, everyone also found a place to sit down.

"I've been busy lately, and I haven't noticed my grandfather's arrival, so I don't know when my grandfather arrived? Are you used to living here? Zhang Rui looked at Zhu Dachang, who was sitting on the second seat on the right, and asked.

"I also just came here, and the city of Nanjing is big, which is really eye-opening. There's a chapter here, everything is okay, but the food is lighter, not spicy, and it's a little unaccustomed to eating. Zhu Dachang replied generously.

"The taste of the Gangnam region is mainly light. When you are used to eating spicy food, it will feel even more light. Well, I'll have someone bring some chili peppers to my grandfather (1) later! Presumably the Grandparents will like it. Zhang Rui said with a smile.

In fact, Zhang Rui himself doesn't eat much spicy, whether it is in his previous life or in this life. The reason why he would let people grow chili peppers to eat in the army was entirely because chili peppers could be appetizing and ward off cold and dampness. And the vitamin C in chili pepper is very high, which can enhance the body's resistance. For soldiers fighting from the south to the north, it is really a rare condiment or dish.

"Chili? That's a good thing. Then I... Oh no... It's Weichen who thanked King Han. Zhu Dachang, who had eaten chili peppers in the army's food, recalled the taste, and couldn't help but drool.

"Grandpa is polite, it's nothing." Zhang Rui said.

"Grandpa won't go back when he comes over this time!"

"It depends! Your grandmother and the others are still at home, and if nothing happens, I guess I'll have to go back. Zhu Dachang shook his head and replied.

"Why didn't you bring your grandmother and them over? There is everything here in Nanjing. Zhang Rui asked suspiciously.

"Next time! This time, it's because I'm in a hurry. Zhu Dachang replied.

"Oh? What's the hurry? Zhang Rui asked curiously.

"Yes, King Han. I... Weichen just has a request now, I don't know whether to say it or not. Zhu Dachang suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Zhang Rui, and asked a little seriously.

"Grandpa is polite, just say anything directly. As long as I can do it, I will do it. Seeing this, Zhang Rui also stood up and pressed down his gesture and said.

At this time, Zhu Yizhang couldn't help but be a little worried when he looked at Zhu Dachang's strange appearance, afraid that he would come up with some unreasonable rules.

"That's the case, after a while of the worship of the Ming Tomb, can I stand in front?" Zhu Dachang looked at Zhang Rui and asked with a firm look in his eyes.

"Oh, that's it! I thought it was a big deal! It's okay, just stand in front with me! Zhang Rui replied disappreciatively.

"King Qihan, the minister has something to do." At this time, Renli, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who was sitting on the left side, immediately got up and said.

"Is there anything wrong with Aiqing?" Zhang Rui looked at Guan Renli and asked.

"Back to the King of Han, the request of the old prince is not in line with the courtesy, and the minister is afraid that Ming Taizu will blame the old king, so the minister asks the king of Han to think twice." Guan Renli bowed to Zhang Rui and said.

"Dad, do you hear that? Worship is about the heart, what does it matter if you don't have the front? Don't make it difficult for King Han. Hearing this, Zhu Yizhang hurriedly whispered to Zhu Dachang beside him.

"You don't understand, there's a reason why I'm doing this." Zhu Dachang squinted at Zhu Yizhang beside him, and replied in a low voice.

"It's... Aiqing, you are too worried! Zhang Rui replied.

"Weichen, as the head of the Ministry of Rites of the King of Han, should remind the King of Han when he encounters things that are not in line with the etiquette. Although the old countryman is a relative of the emperor and is also surnamed Zhu, he has no relationship with Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty after all. If the old prince and the king of Han are sacrificed together, and there is no talk of the number of gifts for the monarch and ministers, even Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty will not like it when he sees it, and he may not be conducive to the old prince. After Guan Renli finished speaking, he said to Zhu Dachang.

Hearing this, Zhang Rui understood it. Although Guan Renli was against Zhu Dachang standing in front, he did not explicitly say that he would oppose Zhu Dachang standing in front of him. However, what he said was not much different from his opposition to Zhu Dachang.

It's nothing more than saying: It's okay to be in the limelight, but if you're not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will blame you, you just stand in front of King Han! But don't blame me for not reminding you when you're unlucky.

Therefore, Zhang Rui really doesn't have much time to deal with them. After Guan Renli said this, Zhang Rui believed that Zhu Dachang was not happy to stand in front.

Note (1): Chili pepper was introduced to China from the Americas in the late Ming Dynasty, but at first it was only used as an ornamental crop and medicine. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the first to start eating chili peppers was Guizhou and its adjacent regions. In Guizhou, where salt is scarce, during the Kangxi period, "soil seedlings were used to replace salt", and chili peppers played the role of salt substitutes, which can be seen to be closely related to life.

Since the Qianlong period, a large number of chili peppers have been eaten in Guizhou. During the Qianlong period, Zhenxiong in Yunnan, which is adjacent to Guizhou, and Chenzhou in Hunan, in eastern Guizhou, also began to eat spicy seeds. After Jiaqing, the cultivation of peppers in Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, and Jiangxi provinces became widespread, and it was recorded in Jiaqing that Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places had begun to "plant as vegetables". In some areas of Hunan, spicy eating was not very common during the Jiaqing period, but between Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu, it was common for Hunan to eat chili peppers.
