The emperor's dishes naturally can't be bad, although Zhu Hongsan is now poor and almost urinating blood, but he has to pretend to be a swollen face and a fat man.

However, it is natural that a dinner party with many ducks and sheep like before cannot be held, so tonight Zhu Hongsan prepared a hot pot.

The hot pot invented by Zhu Hongsan is different from the side stove of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Hongsan made it the kind of mandarin duck pot in later generations. A copper pot like a copper basin, separated by a copper plate in the middle, with a base made of butter on one side and a seafood base such as scallops on the other.

Jin Shenghuan is from Liaodong, Li Chengdong and Wang Deren are from Shaanxi, and they have eaten the side stove every day, but they have not eaten this new hot pot.

Jin Shenghuan looked curious and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you eating at this time?" It looks like a side stove, but this pot is different, it's really strange! ”

"Haha, you don't know, this is a new way to eat after I arrived in Guangdong, using the chili pepper from the South Seas, eating it in winter can get rid of the cold, you must try it!"

While the two were talking, the dishes were served, and the table in front of everyone was filled with paper-thin mutton, snow-white lamb tripe, duck blood, vermicelli, cabbage, etc.

Zhu Hongsan watched the hot pot roll away and said, "Everyone see how I eat!" As he spoke, he sandwiched a slice of mutton, soaked it in the boiling hot pot, and then dipped it in a sesame oil dish and put it in his mouth.

Jin Shenghuan and the others learned Zhu Hongsan's way of eating, put the sliced meat into their mouths, and felt a strange taste rushing to the top of their heads.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a pepper, which was also a daily seasoning, and they knew this Jin Shenghuan. But the taste of this kind of chili pepper is different from that of sesame pepper, Li Chengdong didn't expect this thing to be so spicy, and he was afraid that he would lose his body in front of the king when he thought of spitting it out, so he quickly grabbed the wine glass and sent the mutton in his mouth with wine.

Guangdong's liquor is made from sweet potatoes and corn, and the Ming Dynasty already has distillation technology, which can also make liquor with more than 40 degrees. However, when the liquor in Guangdong left the factory, Zhu Hongsan added sugar, so it was slightly sweet in the mouth and soft in taste.

Li Chengdong used to be a wine barrel, and as soon as he entered this wine, he found that it was different, and Li Chengdong praised: "Good wine!" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled: "How is it?" This is the liquor produced in Zhenhuangzhuang, and Brother Li can drink it smoothly! ”

Li Chengdong nodded again and again: "This wine is slightly sweet in the mouth, and it is a perfect match with this spicy hot pot!" ”

"Haha, since Brother Li likes it, drink more!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he grabbed his wine glass and stood up and said, "Come on, come on!" I first salute the three royal brothers, and now I can have such a good situation, it is all the work of the three royal brothers! If there is no Brother Jin and Brother Wang in Jiangxi anyway, and no Brother Li in Fujian anyway, I am still nesting in that place in Guangdong! ”

Wang Deren had no brains, and when he heard the emperor say this, he grinned and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, with me and others guarding the Beijing division on the front line in Yangzhou, Your Majesty can just be a peaceful emperor!" ”

Jin Shenghuan heard Wang Deren talking nonsense, and quickly interrupted him and said: "Your Majesty, we are just pushing the boat along the river in response to the will of heaven, and the success of Jiangxi and Fujian is caused by Emperor Gaozu's blessing of His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with us!" ”

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "There, the blessing of the ancestors is one thing, but the credit of the three is the main reason!" Come! Drink this cup with me! After saying that, Zhu Hongsan took one sip, Zhu Hongsan exercised alcohol when he was a township cadre in his previous life, and used to drink a bottle of a meal at 56 degrees in Beijing Erguotou, but now drinking this liquor of more than 40 degrees is like drinking beer.

Wang Deren has already been hooked by the aroma of wine, and now he heard the emperor say that he can drink it and quickly take a sip. After drinking, Wang Deren let out a long breath and said: "This wine is really domineering, it is similar to the burning knife I drank before, but it is delicious, not as spicy as burning the knife!" It's really good wine! ”

After the emperor mentioned the wine, everyone began to eat and drink, this kind of spicy hot pot was a little uncomfortable for the first time, but after eating, the more I ate it with liquor, the more I loved it.

Although the liquor in Guangdong is added with sugar, the taste is not stimulating, but the degree is there, and Wang Deren began to be a little confused after drinking two glasses. He thought that the crown prince Zhu Hai had promised to give five million silver dollars just now, and he felt that he was not at the bottom, so he still asked the emperor.

Wang Deren stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my old king is a rough man, and I don't know whether to say something or not!" ”

Jin Shenghuan saw Wang Deren like this and was about to stand up and hold him, Zhu Hongsan shook his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Jin, I like Brother Wang's righteousness, okay!" Brother Wang said it! ”

"Your Majesty, just now outside, our brother heard the prince say to give us five million silver dollars, is there such a thing!"

When Zhu Hongsan heard this, he said with a smile: "Of course, I know that it is not easy for you to raise an army, so naturally you must have a military salary!" How many troops do you have now? Report it together, and make up for the lack of supplies! ”

Wang Deren was overjoyed when he heard the emperor ask this, and opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Brother Jin and I have a total of 800,000 troops in our hands!" ”

"Okay, I'll make it up for you!" Zhu Hongsan said to Zhu Hai, who was sitting on the side: "Prince, tomorrow you go and inform the cabinet, and add another three million silver dollars to the two county kings, enough to make up eight million!" ”

When Wang Deren heard that the emperor had given another three million, he was happy in his heart and hurriedly saluted and thanked him. Jin Shenghuan didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, and he also got up and saluted.

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you can fight bravely, money is nothing." If the one invades Beijing first, the prince can seal it! "You must know that the Ming Dynasty has not been crowned a living king since the founding of the country, that is, Xu Da, who founded the country, Chang Yuchun, is also the king after his death, and it is really too much for Zhu Hongsan to say this today.

But Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were very happy, the prince, I don't know if my ancestral tomb is clear, and I can become a prince myself.

Li Chengdong, who was on the side, saw Zhu Hongsan say this, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to go to Yangzhou with the two county kings, but I don't know if it will work!" ”

Li Chengdong is extremely cunning, he instinctively feels that Zhu Hongsan is going to be unfavorable to him, and today he took the opportunity to hurry up and leave Nanjing, as long as he leaves here, he will go anywhere in the world at that time.

Zhu Hongsan said with a smile after hearing Li Chengdong: "Okay, in a few days, Brother Li and the two eldest brothers of King Jin will go together, they will go to Yangzhou, and Brother Li will go to Chuzhou!" ”

Li Chengdong heard the emperor promise himself so happily, and his heart was overjoyed, as long as he left this insidious emperor and returned to the north, which is suitable for cavalry combat, he could rely on his 27,000 cavalry to pull out 100,000 elites at that time.

Everyone was very happy, and the meal was very refreshing. At Zhu Hongsan's signal, the wine barrel Zhu Hongyi stood up and drank with the three county kings. Zhu Hongyi is vigorous and does not lose, and drinking this Guangdong liquor is like rice wine. His two sons, Zhao Hu and Zhu Bao, are similar, they are all wine bags and rice bags, and the three county kings are almost drunk under the persuasion of Zhu Hongyi's father and son.

Zhu Hongsan also exercised alcohol in his previous life, and the time he accompanied the leader out was not a drunken thing. In the past, you could drink a bottle of Beijing Erguotou at 56 degrees, but when you come to this time and space, drinking this liquor with more than 40 degrees is like boiled water. But having said that, now that he is middle-aged after all, he can no longer live up to the courage of the year, and today he is only drunk after drinking less than two catties and can't walk.

Now that the banquet is halfway through, Zhu Hongsan felt the urge to urinate, stood up and said, "A few of you drink first, I will go out of Gong!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Hongsan went to the matching hall with the support of Li Chengen and the two little eunuchs, which is the place of reincarnation of the five grains. Zhu Hong sighed as he walked: "I'm old, it's not good!" This is ten years ago, how can Lao Tzu not be able to drink Jin Shenghuan, an old deflated calf! ”

The place of reincarnation of the five grains is located at the back of the side hall, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right, Zhu Hongsan came to the front and saw that there were two palace maids standing at the door of the women's toilet opposite, and the two palace maids saw that the emperor was coming and quickly knelt down and saluted.

Only then did Zhu Hongsan remember that Ma Ruyan was leading a group of female dependents to eat in the back, and now he should have eaten almost enough.

Zhu Hongsan opened his mouth and asked, "Who is inside?" ”

A palace maid said boldly: "Back to Your Majesty, is the princess of Nanchang County in it?" ”

Ma Ruyun is inside, could it be that she also drank too much? Damn, these old ladies are pretty good at drinking!

Zhu Hongsan was about to enter the men's toilet and leave Gong after thinking about it, and suddenly remembered Ma Ruyun's long legs, today is just an opportunity, it is better to go in and secretly see how long the long legs are! Compared with her aunt Ma Xiaofang, that one is whiter!

Zhu Hongsan turned around and asked, "Who else is inside?" ”

"It's gone, just the princess alone!"

Zhu Hongsan didn't care about going to the toilet at this time, and said to a few people around: "You guys are waiting outside!" And don't speak! Lao Li, you arrange to go outside and leave someone to watch, and no outsiders are allowed to come in! ”

Li Chengen knew that Ma Ruyun would not be able to escape the poison today, but the emperor was the sky, and he couldn't help it, so he sighed in his heart and arranged for the two palace maids to go out to sentry.

Zhu Hongsan lifted the curtain of the women's toilet and entered it, which said that it was the women's toilet, but it was only a temporary modification. The emperor wants to feast his relatives, so naturally he can't do without toilets. This side hall was originally uninhabited, and because of the remoteness of the place, it was used as a temporary toilet.

Zhu Hongsan walked in lightly and found that there was another room nearby, probably with a net bucket in it. But the door was closed, and I couldn't see what was inside.

Zhu Hongsan quietly opened the door a crack to peek, and saw that his sister-in-law Ma Ruyun had just finished her convenience, and was lifting her pants and sorting out her clothes, revealing most of her snow-white buttocks.

Zhu Hongsan was shocked when he saw Ma Ruyun's body, he didn't see it clearly in the front hall just now, it was early spring, the weather was very cold, Ma Ruyun was wearing very thick clothes inside and out, and his figure naturally couldn't be measured.

But now it is different, Ma Ruyun entered the apse, here because the stove was as soft as spring, plus Ma Ruyun drank some wine, the heat dissipated, and he took off his cotton clothes. Now Ma Ruyun is just wearing a middle coat made of silk, with a bijia on the outside, and he also takes off the bijia when it is convenient, and his delicate figure is carefully looked at by Zhu Hongsan.
