44. Enlightenment
Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace happily, this time it was good, his father agreed. And there is also the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mu Bin to escort him, it must be smooth sailing!
Zhu Houzhao began to prepare things, he wanted to prepare something that the Tatars liked. This time he's going to bring some hard dishes! Only with enough sincerity seems to be able to cooperate with his good friend Tieli Guomu for a long time!
"Liu Daban, go out with this palace to buy some things!" In fact, Zhu Houzhao wants to take the Daming treasure banknote, but the Tatars will recognize this piece of paper, it is estimated that it is enough to choke, so I still have to bring some goods! Bartering is the most primitive form of trading, but it is indeed the most valuable transaction.
At the very least, it's a way to get a lot of recognition in the horse market. Zhu Houzhao brought a stack of Daming treasure banknotes and prepared to go shopping. Start by buying some fine porcelain, and silk! These exquisite things of the Ming Dynasty were equally precious in the eyes of the Tatars, and they were all things enjoyed by the Tatar aristocracy.
Zhu Houzhao went to the cloth shop to buy ten pieces of cloth and bought some fine porcelain. Of course, the porcelain he used himself could not be taken out casually, after all, the bottom of these porcelains was paid by the Ming Dynasty, and the official kiln goods were not taken out and sold casually, not to mention that they were used to trade with the Tatars!
After everything was ready, Zhu Houzhao began to sleep again. But this time it was really sleeping, Zhu Houzhao was a little tired, and took a nap at noon.
After Zhu Houzhao took a nap, he was going to Jinyiwei to have a look, he wanted to talk to Mu Bin about it, they had to be ready, he was going to buy some good horses. For the time being, there is no place to raise it, so it is better to put Jinyiwei first and let Jinyiwei raise it for a few days first!
"Liu Daban! Let's go to Jinyiwei for a visit! Zhu Houzhao held a toothpick in his mouth, and walked slowly towards Jinyiwei, just getting up from sleep and walking in good spirits.
Liu Jin is very strange, the behavior of Prince Zhu Houzhao these days is really abnormal. If you were to pretend to be sick and not go to class according to your previous temperament, you would just want to have fun, but now it doesn't seem to be like this anymore. Liu Jin doesn't know what went wrong, it seems that nothing has changed, it is in this direction! Prince Zhu Houzhao still doesn't like pedantic sour texts very much, and prefers things with a sense of freshness.
But Liu Jin feels that the freshness and the cognition of new things that he can understand now are nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, but their master, the current His Royal Highness the Prince, is suave and beloved, and the definition of freshness is no longer in the same category as his definition of freshness.
In his eyes, only eating, drinking, and having fun are interesting, but he clearly feels that the things that Prince Zhu Houzhao is interested in are no longer these things. And he doesn't understand these things, the prince still likes fresh things, but he Liu Jin doesn't understand these things, which is embarrassing.
It's not just him Liu Jin who doesn't understand, but the circle of eunuchs around them doesn't understand. The current Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only able to do new things, but is not preached by His Majesty, but is more praised by His Majesty!
He has been completely thrown away from a distance of 108,000 miles, and in the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao had no fun fun, he Liu Jin and a few eunuchs gave him fun, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has learned to find new things to do by himself, and he does things that they have never heard of.
As a eunuch with ideals who doesn't want to be a salted fish, Liu Jin has realized that the sky has changed at this moment.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao is no longer a child, he has grown up, and he is moving farther and farther towards a height that is difficult for them to reach and a realm that is difficult to touch.
Liu Jin's goal was naturally to become a world-class eunuch like Wang Zhen, but now he felt that his thoughts were contrary to his own ideas.
He decided to start reflecting on himself, and in the moment of thinking, Zhu Houzhao had already walked away, and when Liu Jin looked up again, he only saw Zhu Houzhao's back as he walked away. Liu Jin couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly ran forward, shouting as he ran, "Your Highness waits for slaves, waits for slaves!" ”
Zhu Houzhao glanced back at Liu Jin and said, "What are you doing slowly, don't miss the affairs of this palace!"
Liu Jin quickened his pace while thinking about how he should take his own path as a eunuch next. Whether Wang Zhen is really worth learning from, he is shaken!
But to be a great eunuch like no other in the world, this is his determination that will not waver! Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to become a eunuch, and he would never be able to enjoy the pleasures of the boudoir again.
So if you want to keep up with the pace of His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to learn from him, Liu Jin believes that he understands some culture and is literate, and he feels that he is very remarkable. It is true that in an era like the Ming Dynasty, when education was not popular, most people were illiterate, but he ignored that it was impossible for the people he served to be illiterate and not polite.
Of course, now Liu Jin has a clear understanding of the crisis he is facing. Although it seems that everything is safe now, the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill. When things reach a tipping point, everything they have now will cease to exist.
Therefore, the keen Liu Jin was aware of the seriousness of this matter, although it seemed that there was no dispute between concubines and concubines in the entire palace, and there was no danger of seizing the heir, but there were already waves under the calm water, but the people on the boat could not see the situation under the water for the time being.
Zhu Houzhao came to the place where Jinyiwei worked and said, "What about your commander?" This palace has the holy decree brought to him by his father! ”
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The crowd hurriedly saluted.
"Excuse me, call your commander Mu Bin and Master Mu out!" Zhu Houzhao said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please take a seat, the commander will come immediately!" A thousand households said, "I don't know if His Highness drinks tea, the minister will make a pot of tea for His Highness!" ”
"Oh, what kind of tea do you have in Jinyiwei?" Zhu Houzhao said curiously.
"Does Your Highness like to drink West Lake Longjing or Pu'er or Da Hong Pao?" The thousand households laughed.
"Oh, this dragon well is not cheap! How much money do you men have a month? Zhu Houzhao looked at the people in front of him playfully.
The commander of the minister Jin Yiwei made Mu Bin see His Royal Highness the Prince, which made His Royal Highness smile. Chen just bought some tea in the past few days, and told them that Longjing and Pu'er before the rain were actually ordinary tea! Mu Bin said,
"Oh, then do you want to try it in this palace and see if it's a dragon well before the rain?" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "But forget it, this palace doesn't dare to drink your Jinyiwei's tea, and it's not a good thing to be invited to Jinyiwei to drink tea!" Don't you say? ”
"Your Highness is laughing!" Mu Bin said.
