In the hall of the Nanhou Mansion in the emperor's imperial court, Liu Jun was smoking leisurely. The cigarette has no filter, but it is not spicy to smoke, and the tobacco seems to be mixed with herbs such as mint and cloves.

Liu Jun also just discovered that the Ming Dynasty had a record of tobacco as early as Wanli.

Luzon produces a grass, called tamba. Burning one end with fire, one end to the mouth, the smoke from the pipe into the throat, can make people drunk, and can dispel miasma. Some people brought Zhangzhou to plant it, but now it is more than Luzon, and it is included in its national sale.

Nowadays, there are many people who smoke tobacco, not only men, but also women and children. In short, there is a feeling of treating cigarettes as melon seeds, and the number of smokers has been extremely wide. Cigarettes have even become a very lucrative new industry, but the imperial court has never had a good impression of cigarettes, and Chongzhen has even issued a smoking ban several times. But his smoking ban, like many others, was largely useless.

Liu Ru persuaded in a low voice on the side, "Master Hou, take a few puffs, although the medical book says that tobacco can resist the cold of frost and dew, and eating it can kill the accumulation and eliminate the ruffian." But as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, and it is not good to smoke too much. ”

Liu Jun stayed in the capital for the time being, because this mansion was given by the emperor, so he also moved in, so that he could sometimes stay in the capital, and it was also convenient for the two teachers of Mei and Li and the emperor to summon them at any time. Liu Jun brought a team of personal soldiers to move into this mansion, and Liu Jun took his brother Liu Jian over.

Li Chunjiang, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi and a group of people all came to celebrate the housewarming and had a lively time. Originally, Liu Jun wanted to keep them to live here, but Hou Fang and the others also had mansions in Beijing, and they each lived at home. However, Liu Ru was like this, but he did not follow Dong Xiaowan to live in Hou's house, but took the initiative to stay.

In this Hou Mansion in Beijing, except for the Liu Jun brothers, there is no other owner. The servants, slaves, coachmen, cooks, etc. in the house are all available. After Liu Ru stayed, she was not polite, and directly regarded herself as the housekeeper in the house, assigning a few transfers every day, but she also put the clothes of dozens of people in the house to pack up.

The two Liu Jun brothers had three meals a day a day, and even the carriages and horses that went out were all properly arranged. Liu Jun is also very satisfied. The people in the house still think that Liu Ru is the concubine of the Hou Ye, and everyone usually calls her Mrs. Ru, or Aunt Liu. Once Liu Jun heard someone call Liu Ru is aunt in front of him, but he didn't say anything to correct it.

Since then, Liu Ru has been more attentive, and even Liu Jun's daily life and washing, she has taken care of it.

For her expressed thoughts, Liu Jun did not refuse, but just took advantage of the trend. A beautiful woman circles around herself. It's actually a very happy thing. Anyway, if he doesn't rob or steal, is he a marquis, and he can't be free for such a trivial matter.

Listening to Liu Ruye's persuasion, Liu Jun showed a smile on his face, "Okay, listen to your words, don't smoke." As he spoke, he handed the cigarette to Liu Rushi. Liu Ru originally prepared a few good cigarette sticks for Liu Jun. There are those with gold buckets and those with jade mouths, but Liu Jun doesn't like that kind of cigarette stick.

In fact. Liu Jun doesn't really like to smoke cigarettes at this time, he just tries cigarettes at this time. First, it is a way to reminisce about the feeling of smoking in the past, and secondly, I want to understand and feel the tobacco of this era. The profit of tobacco is no less than that of tea. Especially at this time, when all men and women smoke cigarettes, tobacco is indeed very profitable. You don't even have to pay a special tax like tea.

If it can, the nine-headed bird can also be inserted, after all, the threshold of the tobacco industry is not high.

Liu Ru took the paper cigarette roll and pressed it out in the ashtray, then walked to the back and took the towel from the maid who was waiting in the corner of the hall, twisted it in the hot water basin, and walked back to personally apply a few handfuls to Liu Jun's face. Liu Jun suddenly felt much refreshed.

A few young maidservants standing on the edge of the hall looked at them with hot eyes, this aunt and grandmother are really good at waiting. is good-looking, and will wait for people, but they usually treat these young maidservants like thieves, and they don't give a chance to get close to the Hou Ye. Originally, there were a few good young maids in the house, and when they knew that they would be waiting for Zhennanhou in the future, they also had some thoughts.

However, with this Mrs. Ru in the house, how can they still have the slightest chance.

What a good Hou Ye, young and handsome, the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, the student of the first assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet, he was awarded the title of marquis by military merit at a young age, and he is still the governor of the two provinces, and he is still so young, it's a pity, it's a pity. I thought that Mrs. Hou was in her hometown, and they might be able to have some opportunities, but who knew that they met such a fox spirit who protected food, and they didn't give them a chance at all.

At this time, Zhang Guozhu ran in in a little panic, and when he entered the hall, his foot even tripped on the threshold and almost fell. Originally, he was a shrewd and capable pro-guard flag president, but he was panicked.

"Handsome"

"What's the panic, what's wrong?" Liu Jun glared at him and asked.

"Marshal, the emperor has arrived, he has already entered the mansion, and this will come to this." Zhang Guozhu's frightened report.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, Liu Ru and all the maidservants in the house exclaimed, and one of the maidservants lost their minds and dropped the basin of water in their hands to the ground.

Even Liu Jun was shocked when he heard this. Now that this is after dinner, the palace should have closed the palace door, why did the emperor come at this time. And before coming, there was no one to notify to greet him, and there was not even Jinyi Weidong Factory to inspect in advance, which was too sudden.

Liu Jun was thinking about it, Liu Qiao had already arrived with a team of brocade guards in ordinary clothes.

"Jiye, get ready to take over, the emperor will be here soon." Liu Qiao shouted as soon as he saw him.

"The emperor is really coming to the Humble House?"

"Get ready to take over."

Chongzhen did not mobilize the people, nor did he bring any emperor to rely on the car to drive or the like, he drove lightly and simply, and came from a private visit. There were only some factory guards and palace guards around him, accompanied only Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, Wang Zhixin, Liu Qiao, and several other ministers, Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Dingguo, Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Shize, Duke of Britain, and Li Guozhen, the governor of Beijing.

The emperor left the palace late at night and visited the Zhennan Hou Mansion privately, which was definitely an unexpected event.

"Minister Liu Jun is late to welcome the saint, I hope Your Majesty will punish you!" Liu Jun didn't have time to call all the people in the mansion over, and Chongzhen was already wearing civilian clothes. Chongzhen is just a Confucian robe and a square scarf, dressed as a scholar, and the eunuchs and ministers behind him are also dressed as staff or housekeepers, and the guards are also dressed as housekeepers.

Chongzhen seemed to be in a good mood, he stepped forward and personally helped Liu Jun up, "I came here temporarily, I didn't inform you, today I am a private visit to Weifu, so I don't have to be so polite." I am not a minister today, and you need not be a minister. ”

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, he was not called a minister, what was it called.

"Jiye, what do you think of this house, are you still satisfied?" Chongzhen said as he walked into the hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this mansion is very good."

"Eh, how can you be commensurate with a monarch and a minister." Chongzhen walked into the hall, sat down, and then beckoned Liu Jun to sit with the others. "Jiye, you will be called my father, and I will accept you as a righteous son."

As soon as the emperor's words came out, Liu Jun and the other people who were about to sit down were all shocked, and everyone was stunned, pouting half of their buttocks and shocked.

"From today on, I will give you the surname of the country, well, and then the name Ciye, and you will be registered, and we will be commensurate with father and son in the future. Would you like to? Chongzhen sat there and asked.

Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, and Wang Zhixin, the three major eunuchs, look at me and I look at you, and they all saw confusion and confusion in each other's eyes. The three of them can be said to be the closest ministers to the emperor, but before that, they didn't notice the slightest rumor. Just like tonight's visit to Weifu, there was no warning.

The four lords of Chengguo, Yinggong, Dingguo, and Xiangchengbo were also shocked, the emperor actually wanted to accept his righteous son and give Liu Junguo the surname, how could such a big thing be announced without any surprise. This is a big deal, and it must at least be announced on a very solemn occasion. What's more, shouldn't such a major event be considered more and more discussed?

Giving a surname is a great honor, but it will not shock everyone. The key is that after the emperor gave him a surname and a name, why did he still accept him as a righteous son. After being accepted as a righteous son, why should he be included in the family register?

Entering the genus is a big deal, and the genus is the genealogy of the Ming royal family. Entering the genus nationality means that Liu Jun will be a royal person in the future, and this is no longer as simple as simply accepting a righteous son. Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty received more than 100 righteous sons, but he didn't see any of them incorporated into the nationality, although Emperor Wuzong also gave several righteous sons surnames, but none of them were incorporated into the nationality.

Inclusion in the family is equivalent to the inheritance of the heirs of the people. In the future, Liu Jun's surname is Zhu, his name is changed to Zhu Ciye, and he will no longer be the Liu family, he will become a royal clan.

With such a righteous son, the identity is quite heavy. Before Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, did not become the emperor, he had received more than 20 righteous sons, the most famous of which were Zhu Wenzhong, Zhu Wenying, Zhu Wenhui and others, Zhu Wenzhong was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Li Wenzhong, and Zhu Wenying was Mu Ying.

Liu Jun also has some heads that can't turn around, is Chongzhen joking?

But he doesn't look like that, so is this true?

"Why, you don't want to be given a national surname, and you don't want to be my righteous son?" Chongzhen's voice increased a little, and he looked at Liu Jundao, who was stunned.

Liu Qiao stood aside, more anxious than Liu Jun. Although the emperor came like this, it was equivalent to turning the children of the Liu family into the children of the Zhu family, but this is also a rare glory, and it is the glory of the ministers. It's a good thing, and it's also a great thing for the Liu family. What's the point of hesitation, besides, can you refuse this thing?

Liu Jun was really reluctant at this time.

has a good surname Liu, why do you have to change it to Zhu? Even the name has been changed, and the most dissatisfied thing is to be a righteous son to Chongzhen, how old is Chongzhen this year? Twenty-eight or twenty-nine? Liu Jun is twenty, and it is inevitable to be a son to a person who is less than ten years older.

He didn't know why Chongzhen had this meaning, and felt that the only possibility was that Chongzhen wanted to win him over and make him loyal to him and Daming.

"The minister is terrified, how can he be? Please Your Majesty to recover the holy order, the minister does not dare to obey the order! (To be continued......)
