Chapter 366: Bribing the Emperor

The alchemy room of Wenhua Hall is gone, Zhang Yuchu is a sad person, Zhu Yuanzhang is even more a sad person, although he told Ruan An that he has figured it out, but he will still be woken up by nightmares every night, as for what kind of nightmare it is, no one dares to ask, because the last mouthy palace maid has become flower fertilizer.

So recently, Zhu Yuanzhang's temper is not good, and Zhu Yunwen only dares to serve with trepidation, trying not to let Zhu Yuanzhang be stimulated.

But there will always be people who touch the mold, such as Liu Sanwu, who has been locked up for more than two months.

Originally, squatting in prison and living a good life, maybe when he will be released, he is also a lot older, and the other two examiners have been executed by Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving Liu Sanwu alone, just because he is old, I want him to die naturally.

But Liu Sanwu is a person who is not afraid of death, and he thinks that such a plain and natural death of old age, where is there a vigorous death that criticizes the injustice of the world.

So at the beginning of June, when Zhu Yuanzhang personally presided over the second palace examination, Liu Sanwu complained in prison, saying that the list in March was justified, and it was unfair for Zhu Yuanzhang to deprive the list of jinshi places, and he resolutely would not obey the list in June, thinking that the jinshi among these people was a humiliation to Confucianism and Taoism.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang's temper was not good, but Liu Sanwu stimulated Zhu Yuanzhang this time, and originally wanted to keep him to die of natural old age, but now he has to kill his head, not killing is not enough to anger the people, this is what he wrote in the edict, in fact, he just wants to vent his anger.

So Liu Sanwu was charged with Lan Yu's fellow party and was scheduled to be beheaded after the autumn.

Zhu Yuanzhang also said that whoever dares to intercede for Liu Sanwu this time will not be forgiven.

So this made a group of old Confucian students in the DPRK and China silent.

This news naturally reached Hu Ye's ears, if someone else was going to be beheaded by the Autumn Queen, Hu Ye wouldn't ask, maybe he would send someone to the vegetable market to have a look.

But no matter how Liu Sanwu said that he was locked in the same cell as himself back then, he also had the grace of enlightenment to himself. No matter what, you have to save it.

As for whether you can save it or not, it is not something you can control, but as long as you do your best, you will have a clear conscience.

So Hu Ye wants to go to the palace today, not so much to plead for Liu Sanwu, but to bribe Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for what to bring, Hu Ye thought about it for a long time, thinking that what he had at home, the palace had it, and the palace had it. There are a lot of things that you don't have.

So you don't have to bring general things, you can bring a little bit of bird's tea, those tea trees in the backyard have grown as tall as your knees, and it is estimated that this time next year, you can pick them, so the inventory of the Nameless Mansion doesn't have to be so nervous.

And compared with canceling an auction of bird's tea, it is more important to take Liu Sanwu's life.

Of course, bird raw tea alone is not enough. Zhu Yuanzhang has more tea than himself.

But there is one thing that Zhu Yuanzhang definitely doesn't have, and that is falling peanuts.

After the watering of Xiaoqiang urine, the peanuts not only matured ahead of schedule, but also had a high yield.

One peanut. It produced fifty peanuts, almost bursting the pots.

So more than 100 peanuts were harvested this time, which was far higher than Hu Ye's expectations.

However, this is obviously not enough, and now is not the time to eat it in large quantities.

So Hu Ye saved a hundred. Preparing to plant the second season, as for the remaining forty or fifty, one for each person from the Nameless Mansion. The rest were taken into the palace by Hu Ye.

This is the second time Hu Ye has entered the palace, so he will not get lost, and under the leadership of a eunuch, he came to the side hall of Fengtian Hall where Zhu Yuanzhang rested.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Hu Ye asked to see him, he immediately became curious.

"Call him in." Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the bed and whispered.

"Grandpa Huang, Hu Ye came this time, it won't be to intercede for Liu Sanwu." Zhu Yunwen squatted next to Zhu Yuanzhang and asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter what he does on this trip, the key is what he can get from him."

Zhu Yuanzhang is very much like a businessman at this time, many things are useless to him, and the most important thing is to be able to exchange them for useful things.

"What do you get from him?"

Zhu Yunwen recalled his grandfather's words, but he didn't seem to understand.

However, at this time, he has already made a great change in his opinion of Hu Ye, because since the last time he saw Hu Ye's hot air balloon go up to the sky, and then heard that it flew to Suzhou City in two hours, he had a trace of admiration for Hu Ye.

"Hu Ye, the grass people, see the emperor, His Royal Highness the imperial grandson."

Hu Ye walked into the side hall and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen.

"Okay, okay, no outsiders are here, don't have so many rules, just say what's the matter with entering the palace this time." Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently.

The corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, he didn't expect this Zhu Yuanzhang to be so direct, and he had to talk about it before.

"The Emperor's ......"

Unexpectedly, before Hu Ye finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Liu Sanwu is dead, you don't have to plead." ”

Hu Ye secretly scolded the old fox, he just didn't like to deal with the old fox.

The last time he walked out of the palace, he swore that he would never come to the palace lightly, but this time in order to save people, he had to come.

"The emperor has made a promise, and the grass people are just coming to visit the emperor this time, so why do they want to intercede." Hu Ye replied.

"That's very good." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, and then asked, "I heard that you lived in Menghu Mountain for one night, and the next day you were unscathed and spotless?" ”

Hu Ye was not surprised at all that Zhu Yuanzhang knew so clearly, "Back to the emperor, it's true." ”

"Your master's footprints are all over the country?"

"The grass people don't know."

"Have you been to Suzhou before?"

"Nope."

"Is it Suzhou where you are going, or is the wind blowing you away?"

"The wind blows."

……

"It was your idea to order the closure of the mountain?"

"Yes."

After flipping through the inquiry, Zhu Yuanzhang affirmed that Ruan An reported to him that there might be a cave left by Master Hu Ye in Menghu Mountain.

"Okay, tell me what you're doing today, I don't think you're here to see me."

With a conclusion, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask anymore, but made up his mind to go to Tiger Mountain when he had time.

"The emperor is wronged, the grass people entered the palace this time. It's really to visit the emperor, and I have prepared a gift. ”

Hu Ye sneered and took out two things.

It's the same one or two birds of raw tea, Zhu Yuanzhang is familiar with it, and there is nothing unusual.

"I still have some of this stuff, grandson, you can drink this."

Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the bird tea to Zhu Yunwen, he knew that he was dealing with less and less government affairs these days, and his courage was pressed on his grandson, and it was time to make up for himself.

"What are these things?"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the bag of peanuts. Curiously looked at the red seeds.

"Back to the emperor, this is called falling peanuts, which the grass people got from a big cannibal by chance." Hu Ye replied.

"Falling peanuts? The Great Cannibal? Zhu Yuanzhang picked one up and looked at it curiously, "What is this used for, eat?" Drink? See? ”

Hu Ye stepped forward, picked up a peanut, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Your Majesty, this should actually be called peanuts. It is meant to be eaten, it can be eaten raw, it can be eaten boiled, it can be eaten noisy. It's a must-have pastime. Hu Ye swallowed the peanut, and then made a gesture to please use.

Seeing that Hu Ye had tried it, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to put it in his mouth, but Zhu Yunwen ate one first.

"Grandpa Huang. It's a little bitter in the mouth, but then sweet to the heart, and it's a good thing. After Zhu Yunwen finished eating. said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hu Ye smiled, the bitterness that Zhu Yunwen said must be the taste of the coat.

Originally, Hu Ye wanted to bring the peanuts into the palace after they were fried, and the taste was many times better than now.

But considering Zhu Yuanzhang's teeth, if it is fried, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will only have to watch dryly.

"Good stuff?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also picked one up, put it in his mouth, chewed hard, and found that it was really as Zhu Yunwen said, and it was more of that kind of enjoyment, why hadn't he eaten such a delicious thing before?

"Can this thing be boiled and eaten? Stir-fried and eaten? Zhu Yuanzhang picked up another one.

"It's the Emperor."

"How much you have, hand it all over to me, if there is even the slightest secret, be careful that I send someone to raid your home." Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly while chewing.

As soon as the corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would come to this trick, but this time the hundred were resolutely not moved, otherwise it would be all the best to fish.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed a hundred grains in Weichen's house, but those can't be moved, because those are the only ones in the entire Ming Dynasty, and they must be used for planting, and then harvested in late autumn, otherwise after they are extinct, they will have to be found hundreds of thousands of miles away."

"There is only so much in the Ming Dynasty? After eating, you have to go hundreds of thousands of miles to find it? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, he originally thought that this thing was found somewhere in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be hundreds of thousands of miles away.

"You didn't cheat on me?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"Even if the grass people have 10,000 guts, they don't dare to deceive the emperor." Hu Ye patted his chest and said, last time he deceived Zhu Yuanzhang on the issue of bird tea, but he was robbed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Yuchu and Kong Ne, so Hu Ye knew the consequences of deceiving Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look at Hu Ye, put a peanut in his mouth again, and then said, "Don't you think this thing can save Liu Sanwu's life?" ”

Hu Ye secretly scolded the old fox again, obviously he didn't mention it to save Liu Sanwu, this thing always hinted that his conditions were not enough, and he obviously wanted to pit himself.

"The grass people don't mean that."

"Hmph, I don't know your little Jiujiu yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and then said, "You go back and prepare, and in a month, take off a hot air balloon again, and then you will bring another person." ”

Before Hu Ye could refute, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Okay, you go to the prison now, persuade Liu Sanwu to admit this palace test, and I will let him go." (To be continued......)
