The group entered the Forbidden City. Guocheng is a newcomer, everything is novel, his little head turns like a rattle, Wang Chengen keeps mentioning the rules in his palace, and he doesn't care too much, anyway, he is a child, this is a gold medal for avoiding death.

Seeing this grand palace, Guo Cheng thought that in the future, Ah Jian would become the emperor and live here. There are 9,999 and a half houses here, as well as countless palace ladies and eunuchs, which can be regarded as a great belongings. But it's also a heavy burden to feed this big family. No, I have to help Ah Jian earn money. It takes capital to make money, who do you want? Pit Wanli. Ah Jian's popularity is not very good, and he must help Ah Jian Guang to make a good relationship. It costs money to make a good relationship, who to ask for? Let's pit Wanli again. Ah Jian's soldiers are not strong and the generals are very bearish, so they have to help Ah Jian train their troops, and the training costs money, who do you want? Let's return the pit to Wanli......

As Guo Cheng walked, he thought, the more he thought about it, the more places he would have to use the money, and the heavier the bamboo pole he wanted to knock on Wanli, from dozens of taels, to hundreds of taels, to thousands of taels, and finally as high as 10,000 taels. Guocheng originally wanted to add it, but thinking that Wanli was a very strange and stingy emperor, he still gave up.

Wanli has a very resentful policy, that is, to send mine supervisors to the local area to collect money for the inner treasury. Once, Wanli was very ill and thought that he would die, so he issued an edict to recruit back to the mine supervisor. Soon, however, his illness improved, and he immediately ordered someone to quickly retrieve the edict that had brought back the mine superintendent. It can be seen from this incident that Comrade Wanli is a person who wants money to die, and he has absolutely wronged him; He is a man who must have money as long as he does not die.

There is skill in extorting bamboo from such a stingy emperor, and knocking too hard is the same as not knocking at all. If you want too much money, Wanli Shiyou will give up directly, and you won't get a penny at that time. knocked too little, Guocheng himself was unwilling, and cured the emperor's grandson's illness, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the country, not to mention that it is the future emperor who is cured - of course, now except Guocheng, no one knows this, so he gets a little reward, so I'm so sorry for myself. So he was bold and set a standard of 10,000.

Wanli is really with Concubine Zheng. Guocheng peeked at Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng. Wanli is a big fat man with a round foot, a little lame on one foot, not wearing court clothes, wearing wide civilian clothes, looking like a kind big shopkeeper. Zheng Guifei, who is loved by three thousand, is of course a beauty, although she is already a, she does not see the slightest wrinkle on her face.

Everyone shouted long live and saw the emperor and Concubine Zheng. Guocheng bumped Zhu Youzhen with his elbow and motioned for him to offer a gift.

Zhu Youzhen took the food box from Wang Chengen's hand, held it in both hands, walked to Wanli and said: "Grandpa Qiqi, my grandson saw on the street this morning that the people like to eat this thing in the morning, I tasted it, it tasted good." Thinking that the imperial grandfather and the imperial concubine had lived in the deep palace for a long time, they might not have tasted these things, so the grandson bought two copies and dedicated them to the imperial grandfather and the imperial concubine. I wish the imperial grandfather a long life, the imperial industry will be forever, and I wish the imperial concubine eternal youth, and the imperial grandfather will be wings and branches. ”

Emperor Wanli laughed when he heard this, and praised repeatedly: "Good grandson, filial piety." ”

Concubine Zheng shook her hand, she was surprised that Zhu Youzhen would give her a gift, and when she saw his sincere smile, she also gave her a smile in return.

Wang Chengen shouted in his heart, Guocheng is really a wonderful person, the gifts and words he prepared actually made Zheng Guifei, who has never been unpretentious to Zhu Changluo, release kindness to Zhu Youzhen, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng opened the food box and saw that there was a bowl on the top layer, and the bowl contained a gray-green liquid. Wanli looked at Zhu Youzhen suspiciously, and Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "This is bean juice, which is made of mung beans, and it tastes sweet and sour." ”

The eunuch of the Wanli Emperor's entourage was about to step forward and take a sip of the poison, but he waved his hand to stop him. Wan Li said happily: "This is what my grandson gave me, what are you drinking." ”

The eunuch secretly said in his heart: "You like to drink it, I know that it is bean juice, the most unpleasant thing in the world, it is not a taste of poison, please don't drink it." I'll see how you'll drink it later, and spit it out. ”

Wanli picked up the bowl and took a sip, and the expression on his face changed immediately. He glanced at Concubine Zheng Guifei, but saw that she was drinking happily, wondering if there was something wrong with his bowl, and said, "Concubine Ai, I will change a bowl with you to eat." ”

After changing the bowl, Wanli took another sip, why is it still that damn taste, and then look at Zheng Guifei, who is still enjoying drinking the bean juice.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "The taste of soybean juice is very strong, some people like it, some people can't stand it, and if the imperial grandfather doesn't like it, just change it to the next food." ”

When Concubine Zheng heard this, she asked Gong E to open all the food boxes, and saw that there were shredded pickles, burnt rings, crisps, and pancakes below, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, how many years had not tasted this taste, although there were delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, but she often recalled the taste of childhood in her dreams.

Wanli ate other things, the taste was really good, and seeing that Concubine Zheng liked this kind of food very much, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Good grandson, what reward do you want, just say it." ”

"The reward I want is that the imperial grandfather and the imperial concubine are happy every day."

Wanli was even happier, where to find such a good grandson. Suddenly, he remembered that Zhu Youzhen was out of the palace to see a doctor, and he was a little worried in his heart, and asked, "Youzhen, how is your illness?" ”

"I don't know, I'm not Langzhong. You have to ask Guocheng about this. Zhu Youzhen said Guocheng's name very carefully, paying attention not to bring out the word "brother".

Emperor Wanli glanced at everyone and asked, "Yesterday I heard a report that Guocheng cured the illness of the emperor's grandson, who is Guocheng?" "Emperor Wanli was a little displeased, because Zhu Youzhen directly called Guocheng's name, and didn't even add his surname, why should the dragon son and phoenix grandson have a friendship with mortals.

Guocheng came out and said: "Your Majesty, below is Guocheng, and the surname is Cheng." ”

Wanli felt that this little guy was a little interesting, his displeasure was very light, and he was deliberately accused, Guocheng actually saw it, and found the reason in an instant, and deliberately explained. This little guy is such a wonderful man, if he doesn't know how to heal, he must be cut off and left in the palace. Guocheng didn't know that with just such a sentence, his little finch almost died honorably.

"How is the condition of the imperial grandson?"

"The emperor and grandson suffer from the disease of losing the flock of lonely birds, just like the young birds that have been caught, fed water and fed, but still die, because they leave the flock. The emperor and grandson have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the saint and the concubine ......"

Hearing Guocheng call herself the Holy Concubine, Zheng Guifei couldn't help but smile, today she can be described as full of joy: Zhu Youzhen's early delivery just now gave her a taste of childhood, and she felt the joy of her grandmother who was cared for by her grandson, and now she was slapped by Guocheng again. She decided that no matter what Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen asked for later, she would persuade Emperor Wanli to agree.

“…… The crown prince, grandson, and the colorful girls and eunuchs in the palace all care about the emperor and grandson, but after all, they are not the same age as the emperor and grandson. The emperor and grandson live in the palace, just like a bird that has lost its flock, in the early stage, it will not enter the water, in the middle stage, it will be grumpy, and in the later stage, it will lose all its wisdom. Guocheng knew that Emperor Wanli's childhood was also spent in the palace, and although the conditions were much better than Zhu Youzhen's, the living environment was always very similar, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. The early symptoms he described are ironclad evidence from Zhu Youzhen, the middle symptoms are common to most spoiled children, and the late symptoms are proved by many people who have burned their minds with alcohol, and they are not afraid that the Wanli Emperor will see the flaws.

"No wonder I felt that my temper was uncontrollable at that time, and I whipped the eunuch," Wanli groaned, unconsciously muttering to himself, "It turned out to be a lonely bird losing its group, Master Zhang, not a student The tree can't be carved." ”

Guocheng was silent, Master Zhang should be Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Ju is the great political family and reformer of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the teacher of the Wanli Emperor, but unfortunately he does not understand child psychology and is too strict with the little emperor of Wanli. Everyone thought that Wanli had already forgotten about Teacher Zhang, who was raided by him, but they didn't expect that he still remembered Zhang Juzheng's comments on him in his heart.

Wanli suddenly felt that he was speechless, Huo Ran got up, and said, "What did I just say?" ”

Guocheng secretly said that he was unlucky, he was the closest to him here, and the black cauldron had fallen firmly on him, and he hurriedly said: "The emperor asked, how is the emperor's grandson's illness." ”

Wanli knew that Guocheng had heard what he said, but he couldn't say anything, could it be that he was going to kill Zhang Juzheng when he heard him, which was too unreasonable, and his grandson was still waiting for someone to treat him, so he had to pretend to be confused.

He coughed dryly and said, "Yes, if the emperor and grandson can eat, does it mean that the illness is cured and no treatment is needed?" ”

"Holy Mingjian, although the emperor's grandson's illness is in the early stage, it has dragged on for too long, and his body is already very weak. The villain dared to use the medicine of the tiger and wolf to forcibly suppress the symptoms, so that the emperor's body recovered a little first, and it was not completely cured. If treatment is not continued, the consequences will be unimaginable if it repeats. ”

"Is there such a thing? Then ask the little miracle doctor to use another trick to completely cure the emperor and grandson. ”

"The emperor's grandson's disease is a heart disease, and the so-called heart disease still needs heart medicine, and the price of this heart medicine is very expensive."

As soon as he talked about money, Emperor Wanli immediately showed a miser expression, gritted his teeth and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

"Ten thousand taels of silver."

Everyone present let out an exclamation. Guocheng couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, as for it, it's only 10,000 taels, just scared like this, why do you make money, isn't it just for treatment? Are you still happy when you lie on the bed with 10,000 taels of silver in your arms? Guocheng didn't know that his current appearance was very similar to that of a black-hearted doctor in later generations.

"Guo, Guocheng, do you know how much 10,000 taels of silver is, and what rare and famous medicines do you buy?" When Wanli heard ten thousand taels, his heart twitched a little, and his speech was not very neat.

"Heart medicine is not medicine, Your Majesty, this money is used to build a children's paradise. When the emperor and grandson live in the house, joy can wash away the sorrow in the heart, and laughter can wash away the gloom in the heart. In the long run, the emperor's grandson's illness will naturally be cured without medicine. ”

"Oh? Do you dare to make a military order, if you can't cure the emperor and grandson according to your methods......"

"The villain is willing to be punished by a qiē." If you change to another emperor's grandson, Guocheng really doesn't dare to pack tickets, Chongzhen's goods, it will not be hung up until the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), and he is not sick and died.

"This ......" Hearing Guocheng's assurance, Emperor Wanli was still a little reluctant, 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of white flowers.

Concubine Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the emperor and grandson are talented and intelligent, and filial piety is both, so you can help him." ”

Hearing what Concubine Zheng said this, Wanli was moved, but he still wanted to bargain: "Guocheng, do you need a house to build a children's paradise?" ”

Guocheng nodded and said, "Once the emperor allocates the money, I will ask someone to buy a house with a slightly larger area." ”

"I have an old mansion in Wenchang Palace Hutong, about a few dozen acres, give it to you as a children's paradise - this can reduce some money."

"Then only eight thousand taels of silver."

"There are still eight thousand taels left," Wanli muttered, "Then you need craftsmen to build a children's paradise city, and I will select skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry for you, so I should be able to reduce some money." ”

"Seven thousand taels of silver." Guocheng was a little helpless when he saw Wanli's money fan.

"Okay, I'll give you seven thousand taels of silver immediately," Wanli was a little complacent, and bargained with the doctor, he was probably the first person in the Ming Dynasty, and he was able to cut from 10,000 taels to 7,000 taels, which is not a bad bargaining level, and then he looked sharp, "If the emperor's illness is not cured, I will cut off your little brother and let you enter the palace as a eunuch!" ”

Guocheng was so frightened that he covered his crotch, how could he cross over to Daming and meet people with a virtuous character, all of them can't get along with their little finch, is my little finch recruiting you or provoking you.

Wanli laughed, Guocheng hurriedly asked Wang Chengen to go to the inner treasury to withdraw money, go through the housing procedures, and then go to the Ministry of Industry to select craftsmen, especially proposed to him, carpenters, bricklayers, blacksmiths and tailors. If you don't hurry up now, wait for two days, and Wanli may regret it.

On the way to the Prince's East Palace-Ciqing Palace, Guocheng now Zhu Youzhen was a little sullen, so he quietly asked, "Ah Jian, what's wrong?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes turned red: "Brother Guocheng, will I die?" ”

Guocheng was shocked, how could someone in the palace be unfavorable to Zhu Youzhen: "Why did the emperor and grandson say this?" ”

"Didn't you just say that the lonely bird lost its group, and what is the ...... in the early, middle, and late stages?"

Guocheng thought about it for a while, and decided not to tell the truth to Zhu Youzhen, the highest level of the so-called lie is to lie to himself: "But, didn't I promise the emperor that I would definitely cure you, if I can't cure it, I will cut off my little finch, do you believe me?" ”

"Faith, Brother Guocheng, you are the most capable person." Zhu Youzhen was relieved and smiled sweetly.

In Ciqing Palace, Guocheng met the shortest-lived emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo, and Li Xuanzhi, who was famous in history, but what he didn't expect was that Li Xuanzhi actually had two. In history, Mingguangzong did have two concubines surnamed Li, one was Concubine Li Kang, known as West Li, and the other was Concubine Li Zhuang, called East Li. I saw that Zhu Changluo, who was slightly chubby, had a sallow face, and heavy eye bubbles, and looked like a person who was overly drunk; Concubine Li Kang is tall and delicate, but she is a little demonic; Concubine Li Zhuang, with a moderate figure and dignified appearance, looked at Zhu Youzhen with a faint look of love in her eyes, she was Zhu Youzhen's adoptive mother.

Zhu Changluo didn't seem to care much about Zhu Youzhen, but just asked a few words without saying anything, and encouraged Guocheng to help Zhu Youzhen treat his illness. Guocheng hurriedly reminded Zhu Youzhen to present the food box to the prince and the two Li Xuanzhi. Seeing the food box, the prince nodded and praised, he grew up by the inspector and understood filial piety; Concubine Li Kang showed a smile on her face, it is always a good thing for someone to give you a gift; Concubine Li Zhuang's eyes moistened suddenly, and she couldn't help hugging Zhu Youzhen.

At this moment, a team of guards with knives broke into the prince's mansion. The crown prince's face turned earthy all of a sudden, slumped in his chair, and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult, is my father going to do something to me?" ”

The person who led the team arched his hand to the prince and said: "On the order of the saint, go to the prince's mansion to search for the eunuchs Chen Ying and Wang Qi who conspired to poison the emperor's grandson. ”

Hearing this, the crown prince looked a little calm, the emperor and grandson are his own son, and the emperor will never suspect that he will harm his own son.

A moment later, two eunuchs, one fat and one thin, struggled to be dragged out of the inner palace. The fat man struggled too hard, his clothes were torn, and white strips were spilled on the ground, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be candied winter melon candy. Guocheng recognized that the two were trying to murder his fat and thin two eunuchs. It seems that Wang Chengen is very busy, on the one hand, he has to receive silver taels and real estate title deeds, and on the other hand, he has to find skilled craftsmen.

Seeing that the prince was still not possessed, Guocheng deceived Wang Chengen's words and told the prince again, and the prince was relieved, and praised Guocheng for his loyalty to the country, and rewarded him with ten taels of silver. Guocheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, this prince is too out of tune, he saved his son, he just said a few cheap words casually, and just now told him why the emperor arrested the two eunuchs, and the prince rewarded ten taels at once. With such an unknown reward and punishment, this prince has failed too much, no wonder Emperor Wanli has moved Yi Chu's heart more than once.

Zhu Youzhen said that the emperor agreed to move out of the house, and the prince and Concubine Li Kang kept a few words unwillingly, but Concubine Li Zhuang hugged Zhu Youzhen with tears in her eyes and was reluctant to let go. Guocheng originally wanted to meet the future Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, but when he heard that Zhu Youxiao had gone to study, he had to give up.
