Zhu Hao said and walked calmly, about to walk towards the Chunjiang Building, compared to Zhu Hao's calm expression, Cheng Million, who was still smiling just now, after listening to Zhu Hao's words, his face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he stood in place and didn't know what to do.

Cheng Million's last helpless general looked at Zuo Bu's political envoy Xiao Jingao, Xiao Jingao looked at Cheng Million's eyes for help handed to him, and glared at Cheng Million very dissatisfied, obviously very dissatisfied with Cheng Million's performance just now.

However, Xiao Jingao was not satisfied, he still opened his mouth to speak for Cheng Million: "Your Highness, you look at this Cheng Yuan, this is also a good intention, the lower officials know that His Royal Highness is an honest and honest person, but His Royal Highness has just come to Zhejiang, and he has to let His Highness pay for food out of his own pocket, doesn't this make people look down on me as a Zhejiang official?" If this news reaches the capital, Xiaguan and the others will have no face to be! ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "One jumped out so quickly, looking at the way you and Cheng Wanmei looked at you just now, I know that you are definitely not a good thing!" Lao Tzu wants to see how many dead fish and rotten shrimp will jump out today! ”

Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, so he said with a serious face: "Lord Xiao, this king understands what you mean, but this king has made up his mind, Lord Xiao doesn't need to persuade him anymore, this king can still afford to spend the money for a meal!" If Lord Xiao persuades this king again, then this king will return to Xingyuan at this moment, and we will eat this meal another day! ”

Xiao Jingao listened to Zhu Hao's words and knew that he couldn't persuade anymore, so he rubbed his hands on the side, smiled awkwardly, and never said anything again, Zhu Hao thought that if he rejected Xiao Jingao's words, a second or third person would jump out to persuade him, but he found that he underestimated the endurance of these old fritters in the officialdom, and after Xiao Jingao's words were finished, no one came out to speak for Cheng Wan again, which made Zhu Hao understand that these old fritters in the officialdom below were no easier to deal with than those women in the palace.

In fact, Zhu Hao ignored one point, that is, Xiao Jingao, who was the highest administrator of a province, was sternly rejected by him, and naturally no one dared to speak for Cheng Million anymore.

Zhu Hao saw that there was no one, and then came out to speak for Cheng Wanwan, so he turned around and entered the Chunjiang Building, and then sat down at the main table, and then greeted: "Listed as an adult, come in quickly, sit down!" Don't stand outside! This king treats you, but there is no standing ticket! ”

As Zhu Hao spoke, he turned his head again, and Cheng Million, who followed him into Chunjiang Building, beckoned, and then ordered: "Shopkeeper Cheng, let people serve food!" Well, put your Jiangnan specialties, as well as the specialties of your restaurant, serve one on each table, and the rest of what's on it, you can just watch it! ”

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he stopped looking at Cheng Million, and then chatted with Xiao Jingao and Li Shoujun, who were already sitting next to him, the two political envoys, Cheng Million listened to Zhu Hao's words, because what he said just now had made Xiao Jingao dissatisfied, and he didn't dare to disobey Zhu Hao at all at this moment, so he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at Zhu Hao and promised, and then went down to help in person.

Cheng Million is the richest man in Zhejiang, he hasn't done this kind of work for a long time, but in front of Zhu Hao, the king of letters, he doesn't dare to hold it up, he just wants to serve this living ancestor well, don't let this master say anything else, otherwise, his good life as the richest man will be completely over.

It was precisely because Cheng Million had such an idea in his heart that he had to run before and after serving in person, for fear that Zhu Hao would not be satisfied.

These are all in Zhu Hao's eyes, but Zhu Hao didn't say anything, because he knew that even if Cheng Million's son Cheng Sanjin really cheated in the scientific examination, it was also operated by all the Zhejiang officials here, so Zhu Hao's whole mind at the moment was on observing these officials in Zhejiang, and he didn't pay attention to Cheng Million.

As Zhu Hao sat down, about a quarter of an hour passed, dozens of Jiangnan specialties were put on the table one after another, Zhu Hao first moved the chopsticks, tasted the Jiangnan food, with Zhu Hao's chopsticks, these officials in Zhejiang, they also moved the chopsticks, carefully eating the dishes on the table.

Zhu Hao tasted one dish after another, nodded and praised again and again, saying that these dishes were better than the imperial kitchen in Beijing, and the food was very enjoyable, compared to Zhu Hao's large piece of food, the officials in Jiangnan were a little unhappy, because Zhu Hao had just refused outside the door, Cheng Million's free order, and insisted on treating himself, which made the officials in Zhejiang not know what kind of medicine Zhu Hao was selling in this gourd.

Zhu Hao's behavior made the officials in Zhejiang puzzled, I don't know if Zhu Hao is making a gesture, or he still wants to kill the officialdom in Zhejiang, in this rich place in Zhejiang, none of these officials in Zhejiang are clean under the buttocks, if Zhu Hao really wants to make a big move, I am afraid that these people will not only be difficult to protect their official positions, but also have the risk of their lives, so how can they be in the mood to eat at the moment, even if the food in Chunjianglou is really delicious, it really makes them uninterested.

With the three rounds of wine and the five flavors of the dishes, it went to the hundred officials in Zhejiang, toasting to Zhu Hao, the prince of Qincha, under the guidance of the eyes of the two political envoys, Zhejiang Tixue Cai Xianchen took the lead in standing up, raised his wine glass to Zhu Hao and said: "Xiaguan Zhejiang Tixue Cai Xianchen, I respect His Royal Highness the king for a cup, Xiaguan knows that His Royal Highness is here, for the matter of Zhejiang scientific research, Xiaguan is a Zhejiang Tixue, for the negligence of his own work, let His Royal Highness come all the way here, I am deeply ashamed, this glass of wine, His Royal Highness must drink it all the way anyway!" Otherwise, you don't forgive the lower officials! ”

This promotion officer was the provincial education administrator of the Ming Dynasty, appointed by the imperial court, and his task was to inspect the provincial government, prefecture, and county schools, inspect the quality of teaching, and select students to study in the country and participate in the township examination.

Zhu Hao listened to Cai Xianchen's words, and secretly said in his heart: "Is this person a student?" ”

The reason why Zhu Hao had such a question in his heart was because when Cai Xianchen stood up, Zhu Hao looked at Cai Xianchen, and Cai Xianchen gave him a very bad feeling, which made him frown.

The reason why Zhu Hao has a bad impression of this Cai Xianchen is because this Cai Xianchen looks like a scholar, although he is a scholar's bookish spirit, but his eyes are erratic, giving people a very cowardly feeling, Zhu Hao sighed in his heart: "Such a person is in charge of the academic administration of a province and supervises the scientific examination, so it's no wonder if there is no problem!" He is a student, and there is a scientific examination fraud, which is really not surprising at all! ”

Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, so he asked: "Lord Cai, this wine is not in a hurry to drink, you just told this king that you made a mistake in your work, which caused this king to come to Zhejiang, so you first tell this king what mistakes you made in your work?" After you finished speaking, the king decided whether to drink your glass of wine or not. ”

What Cai Xianchen said was originally kind words, he didn't expect that Zhu Hao would ask him so directly what his mistakes were, which made him a little dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it, his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't make any sound.

When Zhu Hao saw Cai Xianchen's appearance, he was very unhappy in his heart, and the expression on his face froze, and the face that was smiling just now was cold at the moment, he snorted coldly, slapped the case, and shouted angrily: "Lord Cai, this king asked you!" Why don't you answer? You didn't answer this king, is it because you participated in the fraud of this township test, or is it because you are the mastermind of the fraud in this township test? Well? ”

Cai Xianchen didn't expect that Zhu Hao would turn his face when he said this, and he was immediately so frightened that he pouted, knelt on the ground, and stammered: "This, this, the lower official, the lower official......"

Seeing Cai Xianchen so panicked and spitting, Zhu Hao thought that there was something wrong with this Cai Xianchen, so he wanted to ask him again, at this time, a young man in his twenties walked up from another table, bowed down and said: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, please take a break from the anger of thunder, we mention that he is not strong enough to drink, this is drunk, he is now unable to answer His Highness's questions, His Highness can ask His Highness if he has any questions, and His Highness can help us learn to answer!" ”

Zhu Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes and looked at this young man, only to see that this person was handsome, his eyes were attentive, and when he talked to himself just now, he didn't see the slightest fear, Zhu Hao knew that this person was a character.

However, Zhu Hao was very dissatisfied with this young man's uninvited and sudden interruption of his words, Zhu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "Who are you?" How can you replace Cai Tixue, and this king didn't call you, why did you come out to answer? Don't you have the word "physique" in your eyes? ”

The man was not afraid of Zhu Hao's scolding at all, but bowed down again and said: "His Royal Highness King Xin is angry, the next official is Hong Chengchou, the secretary of Zhejiang Tixue, just now I saw His Royal Highness ask Lord Tixue, knowing that Lord Tixue is not strong enough to drink, so he came out to answer for Lord Tixue, and where he collided with His Highness, please forgive Your Highness!" ”

Zhu Hao asked Cai Xianchen just now, Cai Xianchen couldn't answer, and it was reasonable for him to answer on his behalf.

Therefore, Zhu Hao didn't say anything about it, but he was taken aback by the name of this Hong Chengchou, because this person is so famous.

Hong Chengchou later became the governor of Shaanxi trilateral, and later transferred to the governor of Jiliao, after the battle of Songjin to the Qing Dynasty, deeply valued by Huang Taiji, known as the first think tank of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, the history of the wild said that the reason why Hong Chengchou surrendered was because Huang Taiji sent his daughter-in-law to wait for Hong Chengchou for one night, which made Hong Chengchou surrender, but whether these are true or not, for now, this is all a later story.
