Chapter Seven: Chickens and Dogs Don't Stay (Part II)
Zhu Cheng also whispered: "The food I am talking about is not mine's alone, but the one-year rations of all the people who went to Jingxi Huangzhuang with me this time." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, and he didn't particularly care about the pressing of these ministers step by step.
The ministers in the palace exchanged their heads and ears, not knowing what conspiracy and tricks the shameless monarchs and ministers were thinking. The historian in charge of recording at the corner of the palace hurriedly wrote down the guilt of the minister Zhu Cheng.
After laughing for a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked gloomy and said, "Brother Cheng, I really can't bear to let you go." As soon as you leave, I will be left alone in the court. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "How can His Majesty be alone, the inner servant Wei Zhongxian is loyal to the master, and it is also a great help to His Majesty." ”
Wei Zhongxian listened to it on the side, and his heart was moved, look, this is the person of the Wei family, even at this critical moment, he did not forget to intercede for his grandfather.
Emperor Apocalypse sighed and said, "Sometimes, I really envy Ah Jian for having a good friend like you. I know that in your heart, I am always in second place, and Ah Jian is first. If it were a prosecutor sitting in this position today, you might have handled it differently. ”
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be cautious." ”
Emperor Apocalypse smiled: "It's okay, my family gossip." ”
The three of them chattered for a while.
It was almost noon, Zhu Cheng said: "Long live, do you feel hungry in your belly?" ”
Emperor Apocalypse said: "Alas, I am full of gas. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I recently learned a new dish, kebabs, your majesty might as well try it." ”
Emperor Apocalypse said: "There are so many ministers here, do you do it alone?" ”
"They? They also deserve to cook for me in the first young man of the Ming Dynasty, let them watch it, and starve them to death. ”
With that, Zhu Cheng went down the jade steps, exited the Taihe Hall from behind, and went to the imperial dining room.
"Long live, may I ask Zhu Qianhu where is he going, do you want to escape? That's not going to work. ”
"Zhu Qianhu went to prepare a meal for me, do you want to take care of me if I eat something?"
The ministers knew that Zhu Cheng was treacherous and slippery, and this time he was finally forced into a corner, if he was allowed to slip away this time, then I don't know when they would be able to deal with him. But fortunately, the emperor explained it himself, and everyone was not afraid that Zhu Cheng would not come back.
There is everything in the imperial dining room, but Zhu Cheng didn't find the chili pepper after looking for a long time, so he didn't think it had been passed on to Daming. Zhu Cheng couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that he must send people overseas to collect plant seeds, and all tomatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, rubber trees, and cinchona trees must be introduced. Tomatoes and peppers are delicious, corn and sweet potatoes have high yields, rubber has many industrial uses, and cinchona trees cure malaria, these plants are all treasures.
Zhu Cheng found the ingredients, marinated the mutton, and then skewered the mutton with wire, smeared it with honey, and roasted it on the charcoal fire for a while.
As soon as the kebabs entered the Taihe Palace, the fragrance spread, and all the ministers swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison. However, this mutton skewer was obtained by Zhu Cheng, and according to their relationship with Zhu Cheng, nine out of nine of these mutton meat did not have their share.
The historian in charge of recording was extremely indignant and recorded another charge against Zhu Cheng in the annals.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse tasted a bite of mutton skewers, and felt that he had never eaten such delicious food, and he couldn't help but have an appetite. Zhu Cheng baked a total of three plates, one plate was given to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, one plate was kept for himself, and the other plate was handed to Wei Zhongxian. Because Emperor Tianqi said it well just now, his own family gossip, and Zhu Cheng and Wei Zhongxian were included in the category of his own family, so he was not afraid that Emperor Tianqi would suspect that the foreign ministers were colluding with the internal servants and plotting against him.
The three of them were eating happily when they suddenly heard the sound of a drum with a "dong dong". The evening drum and morning bell in Beijing City, the drum was not struck at the right time, but Zhu Youxiao, who had a thick line, didn't care. Zhu Cheng lived in a noisy urban area in his previous life, and the sound of loudspeakers, car horns, street hawking, and decoration had already trained his ears into an incorruptible body, so how could he care about this kind of noise. Only Wei Zhongxian's body shook: "Deng, Deng, Deng......"
Zhu Cheng said with a smile: "Grandpa Wei is eating happily, this is preparing to sing." ”
Wei Zhongxian "climbed" for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Dengwen Drum!" ”
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born in cloth clothes, knowing the pain of the people who had no place to complain, and set up a Dengwen drum outside the palace, stipulating that once the people beat the drum, the emperor should personally deal with it, and if any officials dared to stop it, they would be severely sentenced. But in the back, the drums were a formality, and they were heavily guarded by soldiers, and they couldn't get close to it, and the people could only look at the drums and sigh. Now, the drums are sounding again, what is the shocking case?
When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard that someone was beating the drum, he asked, "When the drum is sounded, what do you think I should do?" ”
Gao Panlong was afraid that this matter would affect the expulsion of Zhu Cheng from Beijing, so he said: "Shengdou Xiaomin, his eyes are only the size of a lamp, and some small things will be treated as earth-shattering events. The emperor has all the opportunities, where does he have time to take care of these trivial matters, it is better to leave it to Shuntian Mansion Yin to deal with. ”
Zuo Guangdou said: "Emperor Taizu Gao stipulates that once you hear the sound of drums, no matter what the emperor is doing, you must go to the court to deal with it. Now that the emperor is in the court, he should summon the drummers. ”
Gao Panlong shook his hand again, and handed Zuo Guangdou a look, making him understand that the top priority was to expel Zhu Cheng and not to lose a big one because of a small one, but Zuo Guangdou had his own principles, so he just didn't see it.
The ministers were divided into two factions, one faction thought that the affairs of the people were too small to be handled by the emperor himself, and that it was enough to send a slightly higher-level official to deal with them, while the other faction held Taizu Chenggui and asked the emperor to summon the drummer immediately.
Zhu Cheng didn't care about it, so he didn't pay attention to it, just gnawed on kebabs with Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian.
Fang Congzhe made a final decision and said: "The emperor should summon the person who beats the drum, if the matter is really small, it will be directly handed over to the Shuntian Mansion to deal with, and if the matter is complicated, it will be decided by the Son of Heaven." ”
The drummer was brought to the court, and when Gao Panlong saw it, he still knew the drummer. Of course I did, because it was his wife who was beating the drum.
Gao Panlong said angrily: "Madam, what are you doing beating the Dengwen drum indiscriminately, you are so nonsense, do you want to divorce you for my husband." ”
Mrs. Gao cried and fell to the ground, and said: "Master, disaster, disaster, chickens and dogs are not left, and Gaofu is now a chicken and dog!" ”
Gao Panlong immediately thought of Zhu Cheng, pointed at Zhu Cheng with his hand, and said, "You, you are so vicious!" ”
The hundred officials were in a commotion, and they couldn't imagine that Zhu Cheng would commit a tragedy today, he was really ruthless. Everyone was a little lucky, fortunately they didn't jump out by themselves, otherwise this catastrophe would have fallen on their heads. It's just that Zhu Cheng is too violent and stubborn, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will destroy people, and he doesn't talk about the rules of officialdom at all, he is really the first fierce man in the Ming Dynasty. Now, even if the Wanli Emperor is resurrected, he can't be saved.
Zhu Cheng was calm: "Master Gao, false accusations and back-sitting, it can be clearly written in "Da Ming Law", please check your words and deeds." ”
Gao Panlong burst into tears: "My wife is here, is this still fake?" Pity my grandson, who has suffered such a catastrophe at such a young age. ”
Mrs. Gao said curiously: "When I went out, Jie'er was fine, did the master make a mistake." ”
Gao Panlong was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that chickens and dogs don't stay?" ”
"It's a chicken and a dog."
"Then why is Jie'er okay?"
Baiguan was confused, watching the Gao couple perform cross talk.
Gao Panlong saw that the officials were laughing at him, he was annoyed and angry, and said to his wife: "You tell the emperor from beginning to end, if you can't tell it clearly, be careful that Lao Tzu picks your skin." ”
Gao Panlong has always been like a humble gentleman in front of his colleagues, but now he has been forced by Zhu Cheng to become a splash, Zhu Cheng is really guilty.
Mrs. Gao knelt on the ground and said, "Long live, the concubine is the original wife of Lord Gao Panlong." When my concubine was admiring the flowers in the garden today, she suddenly broke into a group of robbers wearing brocade uniforms and opened the granary of my house, emptying all the grain inside. They were not satisfied, they rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and as long as they could eat it, they took it all, even the braised pork that was boiling in the pot and was ready to be eaten by the old man. Before leaving, he also caught all the chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs raised in the house. Oh my God, is there still a Heavenly Principle King Law here? ”
Zhu Youxiao pointed at Zhu Cheng, laughed, and said, "Zhu Cheng, Zhu Cheng, you kid is really black enough." ”
Gao Panlong and all the ministers stood stunned, speechless for a long time, it turned out that such a chicken dog did not stay.
Gao Panlong said: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the ministers." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Lord Gao, this is what you said gave me." Since you are so generous, I have to reluctantly accept it. ”
Gao Panlong said angrily: "Can you eat that much alone? That's enough for more than 50 people in my house to eat for half a year. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Who said that it was my ration alone, I am a thousand Jinyi guards, and there are at least a thousand Jinyi guards under my command, and they are all looking for me to eat, so I will delay the time allocation because of the purchase of food." ”
Gao Panlong said: "Then you can't do my best." ”
Zhu Cheng said: "This is your own request, I have asked you again and again." The tall man is worthy of his surname Gao, Gao Feng Liangjie, and he actually wants to support the first army with the strength of his family, and the lower officials admire and admire. ”
All the officials were dumbfounded, who knew that Zhu Cheng was so good at pitting people, it seems that Gao Panlong had to suffer a dumb loss.
