Zhang Ning buttoned the button. He is not a fool, Zhu Qizhen did not turn his face, he naturally would not really ask for punishment, and asked for punishment, that is what the courtiers must say when they make mistakes, it is the process, just like "the minister should die", it is not necessary to die.

Zhu Qizhen sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "I was startled, I thought Qing was really injured." How did the Assassins hold it? ”

Is it really not punished, not a word of scolding? Even though Zhang Ning expected that this was very likely, he was still overjoyed. What a good emperor, too sympathetic to his courtiers.

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said, "I was frightened at night, and I was busy for half the night, are you hungry?" Sit down and eat some snacks first and speak slowly. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning's sentence of thanks is sincere, and there is no falsehood. From last night to now, he was indeed a little hungry, he sat down, ate two snacks unceremoniously, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then told Lu Yiqiang that he was unwilling to assassinate, but went out of the East Factory, and ran to defect and report the news in desperation, and said: "The minister ambushed people along the road, and finally got two assassins." ”

There is no need to talk about a private meeting in the middle of the night. He only said that Cao Jixiang sent people to assassinate on the road, and as for which section of the road, he hid it and did not say.

He didn't lie, Cao Jixiang did send someone to assassinate him on the way to Anding County Lord's Mansion, he just didn't mention the words "Anding County Lord's Mansion".

After it was not complicated, Zhu Qizhen heard the bruises on his forehead, and when he heard that he sent secret agents to follow Jia Yue and Wan Liang, determine the location of their ambush, and then rushed to this location in two cars before and after, and finally took down the two of them, Zhu Qizhen showed a smile on his face, stroked his palm, and said: "The decision of the two cars is true and false, wonderful." You order to go down and reward the person in front of you and the driver, and as for Lu Yiqiang, let him stay in Jinyiwei. ”

"Yes." Zhang Ning said.

"Why does Qing have a grudge against Cao Jixiang?" Zhu Qizhen was curious, what kind of grudge made him send a murderous assassination? You know, even if he doesn't become the factory director of the East Factory, he can still go back to the palace to wait. But after sending someone to assassinate Zhang Ning, there was only one way to die.

Zhang Ning smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." It is rare for the ministers to see him, and they have never grudged with him. I don't know why he sent someone to assassinate the ministers. Your Majesty, can you hand him over to the ministers for interrogation? ”

It is estimated that Jia Xiaosi is already being tortured now. If you don't take this opportunity to extract all the secrets of Dongchang from Cao Jixiang's mouth, Jia Xiaosi will be a fool.

Not only is he not a fool, but he is very smart.

This time, for Jia Xiaosi, it was a windfall, he didn't do anything, he got a big gift, but he took a risk for him and almost died. Assassination, is that a joke? No, I want to ask Jia Xiaosi for some benefits. Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently, and decided to go to Dongchang when he left the palace.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and raised his voice: "Jing Yi, come in." ”

Shen Jingyi, who was waiting under the corridor, pushed the door and entered, a pair of eyes glanced at Zhang Ning first, and saw that he was not tied to the white cloth full of bloodstains, he couldn't help but be a little strange, he didn't dare to ask, he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty." ”

"Bring Zhang Qing a cup of tea, and then go to Dongchang, and say that I want to interrogate Cao Jixiang in person, and let Xiao Si escort him over."

"Yes." Shen Jingyi poured the cup without any ambiguity.

However, Zhang Ning was a little puzzled, the matter of pouring tea can be done by other little eunuchs, or let other little eunuchs pass the word, why do Shen Jingyi have to do both things?

Watching Shen Jingyi put a cup of warm tea in front of him, Zhang Ning seemed to realize that he was the one who succeeded Jia Xiaosi and waited for the emperor's diet and daily life, right?

Shen Jingyi put down the teacup gently, quickly left the hall, and rushed to the East Factory.

Zhu Qizhen seemed to see Zhang Ning's doubts, and said, "I also just found out that the tea made by Jing Yi was just right, so I specially let him have Zhaoren Hall to wait." ”

It's not easy to make a cup of tea just right, Shen Jingyi has either worked hard, or he has learned a unique skill by worshipping an old eunuch in the palace as a teacher.

Zhu Qizhen also pointed out that he was just waiting in this Zhaoren Palace, and did not take over Jia Xiaosi's words. In other words, in the palace, Jia Xiaosi is still the most trusted by Zhu Qizhen.

"This tea tastes mellow and long, but the tea that the minister came to drink last time was newly offered by Jiangnan?" Zhang Ning took a sip and was full of praise.

Zhu Qizhen smiled when he met his bosom friend, and said: "It's still the original tea, brewed by his hands, and the taste is very different." ”

Zhang Ning took another sip and praised: "It's really fragrant." He has this skill, and His Majesty is blessed. ”

Needless to say, Shen Jingyi will definitely contract all the tea that Zhu Qizhen drinks in the future, and maybe Zhu Qizhen will take him wherever he goes. After drinking the tea he made, and then drinking someone else's brew, it would be tasteless.

"Qing is also blessed." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning solemnly thanked him.

The meaning of Zhu Qizhen's words is that when he enters the palace to do something, he will definitely enjoy tea. Although it has always been the case, the emperor should still be thanked for saying this. When many courtiers saw the driver, they didn't talk about tea, but they didn't have to say a word, and they were sent out of the palace.

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea and said, "The dessert Qing said last time, the imperial kitchen made it a few times, and I ate it well." But the queen likes it very much, and she has to eat a few a day. I didn't have diarrhea either. ”

Zhang Ning sweated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, that thing is too cold, and you can't eat more." This is especially true for women, even if they eat more, even if they are in good health and do not have diarrhea, it will affect fertility. ”

It must be made clear that the queen will not give birth, but it is a big deal. Zhang Ning thought about it, Zhu Jianshen didn't seem to be born by Queen Qian? Of course, Zhu Jianshen was born in a few years, and the original historical trajectory did not come out as Zhang Ning made ice cream, and Queen Qian's infertility had nothing to do with him. But what should be reminded must be reminded.

"So serious?" Zhu Qizhen's face changed slightly, and he said, "It's okay to eat one or two once in a while, right?" ”

"It's okay to eat once in a while. It's okay to eat one or two a few days, but it's really not good to eat every day. ”

"Well, I'll persuade the queen." Zhu Qizhen sighed: "The concubines in the palace all like this. ”

Zhang Ning sweated again, don't make Comrade Zhu Jianshen have no chance to come to this world. He said seriously: "Your Majesty might as well let the imperial dining room have a limited supply, so that even if the ladies want to eat more, they can't do it." ”

"Makes sense. I'm going to let them eat one every three days, so it's okay, right? Zhu Qizhen felt that this plan was clever, and immediately asked the little eunuch waiting under the corridor to pass on the message.

Zhang Ning felt that he was not a human being, and it was estimated that the ladies would not only not accept his goodness, but would scold him. It's no wonder that Yoyo doesn't teach the imperial dining room to make ice cream. He finally understood Yoyo's hard work.

Fortunately, he is a foreign minister, and it is rare to see the ladies in his spare time, and if she wants to scold, let them scold. Zhang Ning had no choice but to comfort himself like this.
