Chapter 39 Zhu Youxiao, a minor official of the Ministry of Works
"Come, Jing Ke, sit!"
Yu Zhiqian is particularly enthusiastic about Jing Ke today, and if he wants to ask Jing Ke for help, it is understandable that he is enthusiastic.
On the contrary, Jing Ke is a little flattered, as the loyal dog of His Majesty the Emperor, most people see Jing Ke walking around, but he can't give any good face, Jing Ke is used to others not giving him a good face, so when Yu Zhiqian didn't give him a good face before, Jing Ke didn't feel much.
Now that Yu Zhiqian suddenly became enthusiastic, Jing Ke was a little unaccustomed to it, and became a little cramped for a while: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't bother, just say anything directly!" ”
Yu Zhiqian smiled and took a sip of tea: "Commander Jing, drink tea and drink tea, this is good tea, I just sent it some time ago, try it!" ”
Yu Zhiqian didn't know what kind of tea it was, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be very expensive, anyway, Yu Zhiqian took it from Shen Wansan, since it was bought by Shen Wansan, it would definitely not be much better!
"Huh?"
Jing Ke looked at a few tea leaves floating on the clear water, yes, a few, Yu Zhiqian was not willing to put too much, after all, Yu Zhiqian was not ready to buy tea in the past few months, this little tea should be enough!
"Your Highness, this tea is the first time I've drunk it!"
After finishing speaking, I took a sip gently, I can't say what it tastes like, but it's much better than sencha, at least it doesn't have those miscellaneous tastes.
"Well, it's delicious, this is the secret recipe for making tea that I recently researched, don't talk nonsense!"
"Your Highness is smart!"
was slapped with a rainbow fart, Yu Zhiqian was in a good mood, looked at Jing Ke and said, "Commander Jing, I came to you this time because I need your help!" ”
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"That's right, I'm in the Chaco Case, but now I'm running into a problem!"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"I need to arrest a few people, but I can't make much movement, so I think of you!"
"Arrest?"
"Yes, the list is here!"
After finishing speaking, he took out the list that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Jing Ke.
"Your Highness, is there any evidence?"
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Yes, Fan Jin, the person who took the exam, has already confessed!" ”
Of course, Fan Jin didn't confess, but now he needs Fan Jin to confess, and now Fan Jin is no longer important, as long as people outside believe that Fan Jin has made a confession!
"So much?"
After Jing Ke stared at the list, he looked at Yu Zhiqian curiously, and Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Yes, all the officials who participated in the imperial examination are inside, Commander Jing, I hope you can try your best to catch all of them in Jinyiwei without startling the snake!" ”
"Do you need to be interrogated by Wechen?"
"That's not necessary, just hand me over when the time comes!"
Yu Zhiqian said with confidence.
"Your Highness, then hand it over to Jing Ke!"
Yu Zhiqian nodded with satisfaction and handed over to Jing Ke to do things, Yu Zhiqian was quite relieved, after all, this guy, although his eyes were astigmatism, he seemed to be relatively reliable, and he had more beards, yes, Jing Ke was a big beard!
"Whoa!"
However, Jing Ke did not leave after speaking, but continued to sit quietly, waiting for Yu Zhiqian's next question.
Yu Zhiqian is still a little anxious to engage in movable type printing, why is this guy not leaving? Do you still want to take care of your own dinner?
"Commander Jing?"
"Huh? Your Highness! ”
"Anything else?"
Jing Ke nodded: "Your Highness, didn't you receive my drifting bottle?" ”
"Hmm!"
Silence fell into silence again, could there be something in the drifting bottle? But where to salvage his drifting bottle, the devil knows where the drifting bottle went!
What Yu Zhiqian didn't know was that more than 1,300 years later, several cultural relics were unearthed in the old site of the Chang'an moat, which was sealed with a letter written by Jing Ke to Yu Zhiqian.
These are all things that Yu Zhiqian doesn't know, but the atmosphere is very awkward now, Yu Zhiqian doesn't know how to speak, Jing Ke is waiting for Yu Zhiqian.
"Commander Jing, I didn't see the contents of your drifting bottle clearly, there was something wrong with your seal, there was water, and the words were ......."
"Is that so? I see, since this is the case, Jing Ke will leave first! ”
After finishing speaking, Jing Ke got up and saluted Yu Zhiqian, and left quickly.
Yu Zhiqian looked at Jing Ke's back, and suddenly wanted to ask loudly: "Jing Ke, what do you want to ask, why can't you say it directly!" ”
It's just that Jing Ke has left, Yu Zhiqian shook his head helplessly, strange things happen every year, and there are really a lot of them this year!
"I've crossed over myself, and it's not strange to meet one or two weirdos!"
Yu Zhiqian shook his head, got up and went to the Ministry of Industry,
The East Palace is not very far from the yamen of the six departments, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk to it.
Compared with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War, these yamen are lively, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is much more deserted, except for the officials standing guard at the door, there are only some officials who come in and out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Yu Zhiqian entered the door, he saw Yu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was also a national surname, but it had nothing to do with Yu Zhiqian, it was just the same surname.
"Well, Yu Shangshu!"
This person Yu Zhiqian still knows, after all, it is one of the six Shangshu, it is not very far from Yu Zhiqian when the court meeting, when Yu Zhiqian is fine, he also looked at this glasses, only one slit is smaller than the Li who sang the old street.
Yu Zhiqian thought at first that this person was lazy and slept during meetings, but later learned that the glasses were really small.
Just like now, Yu Zhiqian doesn't know whether this guy is looking at himself with his eyes open, or if he is too empty with his eyes closed, this kind of person Yu Zhiqian is very reluctant to deal with, because you can't confirm what this thing is doing when you talk to him, maybe you are chatting with him, he is peeking at the girl passing by not far away, and that girl looks really good!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Ministry of Works, I don't know what you are doing?"
Yu Zhiqian squinted his eyes and looked at the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry is one of the more dilapidated of the six yamen, but in general, it is not very poor, in fact, the Ministry of Industry still has a fat gap, Yu Tang's Ministry of Industry is also responsible for the world's water conservancy, and those related to water conservancy are all fat poor!
In addition, there is the construction of the imperial city, repair, civil bridge repair and paving, etc., are responsible for the Ministry of Industry, there is a saying, Jinqiao Silver Road, looking poor, it is estimated that they are all rich, especially this Ministry of Works, the glass belt hanging from the waist, this thing is not cheap!
Yu Zhiqian looked at it, and at the same time kept thinking about how rich this Ministry of Industry was!
Yu Yan was a little flustered by Yu Zhiqian's staring, and he didn't understand what His Royal Highness the Prince, who had nothing to do with him, suddenly came to do?
"Well, that's it, Yu Shangshu, this prince has recently had some things that need to be seconded to the Ministry of Works, and I don't know if the Ministry of Industry has enough manpower!"
"Your Highness, how many carpenters do you need?"
"Twenty?"
Yu Yan thought for a while: "Recently, His Majesty is renovating the Daming Palace, and the number of twenty carpenters is a bit large, and there are not so many people in the palace for the time being!" ”
"Then how many people can you mobilize!"
Yu Yan thought for a while and shook his head: "Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll ask the official in charge of the craftsman to come over, and I'll know if I ask!" ”
"Please!"
Soon, a little fat man, wearing a cyan official uniform, trotted over, although there was still some distance, but he could clearly see that the fat on the face of the goods was moving up and down.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan, Zhu Youzhen has seen Yu Shangshu!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the carpenter Ling Zhu Youxiao!"
Yu Zhiqian stared at this fat man, called Zhu Youxiao? Nima, if I'm not mistaken, there is a carpenter emperor named Zhu Youxiao!
"Weichen, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After Zhu Youxiao saw Yu Zhiqian, he was stunned at first, and then excitedly saluted Yu Zhiqian.
"Well, excuse me! How many carpenters are still available now? ”
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and slowly spoke: "His Royal Highness Qixuan, plus Weichen, there are still ten people in total, and the rest are repairing Daming Palace!" ”
"Ten people?" Yu Zhiqian frowned, ten people seemed to be a bit small, but it was better than spending money to hire someone by himself.
"Yes!"
"Can ten people engrave?"
"Lettering? Your Highness, most of the craftsmen are illiterate! ”
“……”
Illiterate, this is indeed a problem, but Yu Zhiqian thought about it and had a way to solve it: "Then they look at the pattern, can they carve it?" ”
"Yes!"
"That's okay, Yu Shangshu, I want all ten of them, is there a problem!"
Although Yu Yan didn't want to lend out all the carpenters, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already spoken, he had no reason to refuse, and offended His Royal Highness the Prince......
Yu Zhiqian didn't know Yu Yan's mental activity, thinking that this guy was already asleep, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little again.
"Oh, Your Highness, there is no problem, Zhu Youxiao, you will take your subordinates and follow the prince!"
"Whoa!"
Zhu Youxiao felt a little uncomfortable, His Royal Highness the Prince, he seemed to have some strange interests in himself, and he couldn't describe the feeling, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, it was rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had some ...... I don't know if it's true.
"Zhu Youxiao!"
"Wechen is here!"
"Who are you, Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Your Highness knows Weichen Gaozu?"
"Sure enough!"
After Yu Zhiqian heard Zhu Youxiao's return, he already knew in his heart that Lao Zhu seemed to have almost the same, but he might not have been born at the right time and did not rise.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiqian looked at Zhu Youxiao's eyes with some other emotions, he could obviously be an emperor, but now he has become a carpenter.
But when I think of the nickname in the history of this goods, the carpenter emperor, I don't necessarily have to be unsatisfactory now, after all, the dream has come true, and how many people can do the job they love?
