Zhang Bin's heart was also a little messy at this time, originally he thought that there were five beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and he was immune to beautiful women, but at this time he found out that he was wrong.

How beautiful is this queen Zhang Yan, there are special records in historical materials, her face is like Guanyin, her eyes are like autumn waves, her mouth is like a cherry blossom, her nose is like a hanging gall, and her teeth are fine, she is a famous beauty in history.

It is rumored that Chongzhen was fascinated by a eunuch named Chen Derun, and couldn't help but harass her, but Chongzhen was assigned to grow vegetables in Nandu, and her beauty can be seen how amazing.

Of course, Zhang Bin didn't dare to have any ideas, he was just amazed, and his heart was like a deer.

Chongzhen didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, because he was less than ten years old and began to be taken care of by this imperial sister-in-law, and he didn't move out of the palace until he was sixteen years old, and he came back to be the emperor at the age of seventeen, and the imperial sister-in-law should be an elder similar to his mother in his eyes.

Zhang Bin embarrassedly followed Chongzhen into the main hall of Kunning Palace, and a group of palace maids also ran in, they each had their own duties, some specialized in lighting fire and adding carbon, some specialized in holding things, and some specialized in waiting for summons, as soon as they came in, they scattered around, leaving Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Empress Zhang, Zhang Bin and Cao Huachun in the middle.

Chongzhen was so playful at this time, he directly enlarged the little prince on the carpet in the middle of the hall, and then lay on the carpet.

Zhang Bin was so dizzy, the emperor was lying down, he hurriedly followed down, Chongzhen even commanded him: "Shuangquan, you go to that corner." ”

What the hell is this going on, Zhang Bin climbed to the other corner of the carpet in a daze according to Chongzhen's instructions, at this time Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang also lay down in the other two corners, and then Queen Zhou began to call softly: "Hong'er, come here, come here." ”

When the little prince Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately ran over tremblingly, and Queen Zhou hugged him and kissed him, and put him down.

Empress Zhang followed and called softly: "Hong'er, come here, come here." ”

The little prince Zhu Cihong heard the words and ran to Queen Zhang's side tremblingly, and Queen Zhang also hugged him and kissed him, and put him down.

Now it seemed to be Zhang Bin's turn, he helplessly stretched out his hand and tried to call: "His Royal Highness the Prince, come here, come here." ”

The little prince Zhu Cihong glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked back at Empress Zhang, who actually encouraged: "Go ahead." ”

Well, the little prince Zhu Cihong immediately ran towards Zhang Bin tremblingly.

Zhang Bin was so nervous, he only hated that his hands were not long enough, fortunately, the little prince did not fall, he was hugged by him very smoothly, a burst of fragrant fragrance instantly came from the little prince, so fragrant, he didn't dare to hug the prince and kiss it, he could only gently lift the prince a little higher, cheered, and then put him down.

Over there, Chongzhen couldn't wait to start calling, and the little prince immediately ran over and laughed at Chongzhen's joy.

This may be to exercise the little prince's leg strength, of course, it may also be purely boring to tease him, Zhang Bin can only lie there and follow them to be bored.

After playing for a while, the little prince seemed to be more familiar with him, as long as he called, he would run over, but at this time, Chongzhen was a little reluctant to stand up, beckoned Zhang Bin and said: "Okay, Shuangquan, let's go, political affairs are important." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he hurriedly stood up, but at this time, the little prince shouted a little reluctantly: "Father, master, come and play." ”

Chongzhen nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, my father will play with you at night." ”

Zhang Bin was embarrassed, he thought about it, and simply replied: "The master will go back and find you a lot of fun to come over, okay." ”

The little prince immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good." ”

Seeing this, Chongzhen waved his hand dotingly, and then said to Zhang Bin: "Let's go." ”

Zhang Bin hurriedly waved his hand like him, then turned his head and followed him out.

When he turned his head, he couldn't help but peek at Queen Zhang Yan, and in her eyes, he actually saw a trace of reluctance!

Did she have a crush on me?

Men, when they see the strange eyes of beautiful women, they usually have such thoughts, but Zhang Bin can only think about it, he doesn't dare to do anything else.

Of course, Chongzhen didn't know what Zhang Bin was thinking, after coming out of Kunning Palace, he seemed to be in a good mood, and even joked with Zhang Bin: "Shuangquan, what fun are you going to give Hong'er?" ”

Zhang Bin is dizzy, it's good to coax a child, he forgot it after a while, but he didn't expect Chongzhen to remember, he can't send it now.

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that the carpet on the ground was too thin, that is, a thick cotton cloth, and his knees were still a little painful when he knelt down, so he said sincerely: "Playing things Weichen has to go to the street to find out, but just when Weichen knelt on the ground, he felt that the carpet was a little thin, if His Royal Highness the Prince accidentally fell, he might fall and be injured, Weichen happened to see a Persian carpet, thick, soft and very warm, Weichen wanted to buy some for His Royal Highness the Prince, Emperor, you see, okay?" ”

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, you are very thoughtful, if this Persian carpet is really so good, I will cover the floor of Kunning Palace with Hong'er!" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he fainted at the wrong point, Your Majesty, don't you know how expensive the Persian carpet is, it is estimated that the size of one square will cost hundreds of taels of silver, and the Kunning Palace will have at least thousands of square meters, which is more than 100,000 taels, do you have so much money!

It's not that Zhang Bin despises Chongzhen, Chongzhen really can't take out so much money at this time, in the entire Chongzhen Dynasty, he has not been rich, more than 100,000 taels, and it is estimated that he can be shocked when he says it.

This thing is the whole thing, this money is only paid by himself, really, if you accidentally say the wrong word, more than 100,000 taels are gone.

Alas, if you cause trouble, more than 100,000 taels will be more than 100,000 taels, Zhang Bin took a big bag and said: "Your Majesty, this thing was purchased from Fanbang, not from Daming, it may not be easy to find, Weichen go to find it, spread the Kunning Palace all over, it is a small meeting gift from Weichen to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chongzhen immediately nodded and smiled: "Okay, your meeting gift is for Hong'er." ”

Zhang Bin is so strange, how do you feel that Chongzhen seems to be very good at talking in front of him?

In fact, Chongzhen is deliberately wooing Zhang Bin, or rather, he is expressing his trust in Zhang Bin in his own way.

He didn't learn anything about governing the country, so he could only explore it by himself, and the basis of his exploration was the success or failure of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Like his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, because of the delay in establishing the crown prince, caused a dispute over the country, so that he fell out with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which led to the later attack case, the red pill case, and the palace transfer case.

Therefore, when Zhu Cihong was only one year old, he was made the prince!

It was also the Wanli Dynasty, at the beginning, because of the virtuous minister Zhang Juzheng, in the first ten years, there was a Wanli Zhongxing, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous.

Therefore, he also wanted to find a virtuous minister, and the result was that in the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen Dynasty, he changed a total of fifty-two cabinet scholars, but there was no way, because none of these people could reach the level of Zhang Juzheng!

Of course, at this time, he didn't know that he couldn't find it, just like at this moment, he was full of expectations for Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and even Zhang Bin.

He was really good to Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and Zhang Bin, at least at this time.

It's just that Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's virtuous abilities are all disguised, Zhou Yanru is a mediocre talent, and Wen Tiren is even more of a treacherous villain, these two people are destined to disappoint him, only Zhang Bin, four years, has not let him down.

While the two were talking, the imperial study was already in sight, Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand: "Shuangquan, I still have something to do, so I won't leave you, hurry up and make up the evaluation records of the ministry, and don't forget Hong'er's gift." ”

Zhang Bin was really a little flattered, and he hurriedly said: "Weichen understands, Weichen retires." ”

With that, he bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out under the guidance of a eunuch.

Chongzhen looked at his back, his heart was full of a sense of achievement, there were Zhang Bin, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and other virtuous ministers, and there was hope for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, not long after he returned to the imperial study, Wen Tiren knocked him on the slap, and Min Hongxue and Min Mengde committed suicide in fear of sin!

Zhang Bin didn't know about Min Hongxue and Min Mengde's suicide at this time, because he still had his own things to do.

The prince's gift and his own evaluation were busy with the two items in advance, he thought about it a little and decided to prepare the prince's gift first, because the Persian carpet is really not good, such an expensive thing, hundreds or even thousands, it is really a bit difficult.

He also first saw the Persian carpet when he first arrived in Fujian to check the mansion of the eunuch Gao Cai, who used it to block the entrance to the secret room.

He came out of the palace, got into the carriage, and immediately said to Zhang Pan: "Go to the Dongshengtang Capital Branch." ”

Originally, it was impossible for him to go to the Dongshengtang Capital Branch, because he was afraid of attracting people's attention and finding out that he had something to do with Dongshengtang, but this time he had no scruples, because he was going to "buy something".

Coincidentally, the Dongshengtang Jingcheng branch was on West Chang'an Street, so not long after the carriage departed, Zhang Pan stopped and told him that it had arrived.

Zhang Bin was puzzled, he jumped out of the car and looked, and sure enough, it had arrived.

It used to be a small restaurant, the whole of which was bought by Dongshengtang, in front of which was a large two-story building, and there was a small square outside, where a few carriages had been parked.

Stealing the carriage, it seems that he has never heard of such a thing at this time, Zhang Bin directly asked Zhang Pan to bolt the horse pulling the carriage, and then took him to the gate of Dongshengtang.

There are two small houses at the gate, and when ordinary people go in, they just greet each other with a smile, and they don't come up to greet them, but Zhang Bin is a rich man at first glance, and he hasn't seen anyone wearing a three-grade official uniform!

As soon as he walked to the door, a young man came up and nodded and said, "My lord, what do you want to buy?" ”

Zhang Bin asked with great interest, "What do you have here?" ”

The little guy immediately boasted: "We have everything, the first floor is a specialty of the Ming Dynasty, only you have not heard of it, there is nothing we can't procure, if you are not satisfied with the goods on the first floor, you can find the shopkeeper to ask for a list of goods, there is everything on it, and you can definitely purchase it within ten days." The second floor is a specialty of Fanbang, only you have not seen, there is nothing we can not get, if you are not satisfied with the goods placed on the second floor, you can also look for a list of goods to find the shopkeeper, there is everything on it, generally things can definitely be procured for you within ten days, especially rare, we also guarantee to get it for you, but the time is a little long. ”

This cowhide is blowing, as if everything in the world can be bought here, Zhang Bin decided to try whether this product is just bragging, he asked directly: "Do you have a Persian carpet?" ”

The little guy said confidently: "Yes, do you want a large one, a medium one, or a small one, a large one, a medium one, and a small one." ”

This guy is good, Zhang Bin said with satisfaction: "Well, I want to see the goods first." ”

The little guy nodded and said, "Please come with the little one." ”

With that, he made a gesture of please, and bent down and walked inside.

Zhang Bin walked behind with Zhang Pan's negative hand, looking around curiously, it really seemed like he had come to buy something.

The structure inside is similar to that of the restaurant, but it is not a table, but a large circle of counters, many guys are busy there, the place is very large, and there are indeed a lot of goods, of course, to say that there are specialties from all over the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally impossible, but as long as you can say the name, it is not a problem to procure.

He followed the little guy directly to the second floor, and the layout of the second floor was similar to the first floor, except that the place didn't seem to be as big as the first floor, and the things were also some strange things, obviously exotic.

The little guy was really familiar with this, so he led him directly to a counter, and there were really three kinds of Persian carpets hanging on the wall behind him, the big one was nearly two square meters, and the small one was less than one square meter.

Zhang Bin directly asked the guy inside to take Zhang Xiao's pinch, that's right, that's it, it's soft, thick, and warm.

At this time, the little guy had already nodded and went down, and he joked directly with the guy in the shop: "Well, it's good, the same five hundred." ”

"Ahh The shopkeeper's eyes were about to pop out, and he shuddered, "You're not kidding, are you?" ”

Zhang Bin shook the official uniform on his body, and said coaxingly: "Am I joking?" ”

Zhengsanpin master, it really didn't look like a joke, the guy in the store hurriedly shouted: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, come here." ”

An old man quickly walked over from the counter not far away, and he scolded the guy directly, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

The guy pointed at Zhang Bin and said, "This adult wants to buy Persian carpets, large, medium, and small, 500 of the same!" ”

"Ahh The shopkeeper was also dumbfounded and asked Zhang Bin: "My lord, you're not joking, are you?" ”

This is just an ordinary shopkeeper, not Cao Huayu, Zhang Bin shook his head and smiled: "I'm not joking with you, what about your big shopkeeper?" ”

If it's really not a joke, this thing really goes to the big shopkeeper, Dongshengtang not only does retail, wholesale also does, the general list of ordinary shopkeepers can be the master, if the number is too large, you have to find the big shopkeeper.

Although the number of more than 1,000 maps of Persia is not very large, the value is huge, and the ordinary shopkeeper did not hesitate to arch his hand and said: "This adult, please come with the little one." ”

Zhang Bin smiled and nodded, followed him to the side, the shopkeeper turned out of the counter, took him directly to a box, and then knocked on the door and said: "Big shopkeeper, there is a guest officer who wants to wholesale bulk goods." ”

Inside, Cao Huayu said loudly: "Well, bring him in." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in with Zhang Bin.

At this time, Cao Huayu was looking down at the account book there, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Zhang Bin, and he was immediately stunned.

The shopkeeper also said, "This lord wants to buy Persian carpets, 500 large, medium, and small ones!" ”

Cao Huayu nodded dumbly and said, "Well, I know, you can go out." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he arched his hand, and then turned around and walked out.

It wasn't until the shopkeeper walked out of the door and closed the door that Cao Huayu stood up and said in surprise: "Shuangquan, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Bin laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Second Brother Cao, I'm really here to buy a Persian carpet." ”
