Volume 3: Hundred Tempered into Steel Chapter 192: Drink or Not Drink
At the end of the early dynasty, the monarchs and ministers parted unhappily, and Zhu Qizhen came to the Huagai Hall with a pale face and sat down, among which the imperial banquet had already been prepared, and there were eight cold dishes on the table.
"After all, aren't they afraid that their subordinates will find out the problem? It's just a matter of prevaricating me for this reason, and you still want to force the palace?
Hu Hui, I see that you are really old, is this world your Hu family? Zhu Qizhen said hatefully.
Jin Ying hurriedly ran in from outside, and shouted loudly when he entered the door: "Your Majesty! ”
Zhu Qizhen looked up in surprise, with an inquiring look in his expression.
"Your Majesty, the new scholars are here, do you want to let them in?" Jin Ying asked with a happy face.
"You did it?" Zhu Qizhen's face softened.
Jin Ying nodded and said: "Since the emperor said that he wanted to invite the new science and technology scholars, although he can't send them out at the moment, he didn't say that they can't eat, and there is a precedent for this to be followed in any dynasty and generation, even if they want to oppose it, there is no reason." ”
I really didn't expect that at a critical time, there would be only one eunuch standing with me.
Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart, and when he calmed down, he suddenly came to an idea.
After a turmoil ended, the ministers in front of Chengtianmen were still standing together with some residual anger, and there were many discussions.
"It's really chilling that we are working hard for the country, and the Holy One not only does not care for us, but still trusts us so much."
"That's it, don't say that there is no problem, even if there are some minor problems, the emperor can't do anything to us, not to mention such a fanfare investigation, wouldn't it make the people see the excitement?"
……
Every time a colleague speaks, everyone in the audience will definitely follow the excitement, and no one pays attention to whether what is said is right or not, or it may be that they themselves are weak-hearted.
Hu Hui listened to the disgusting words in his ears, snorted coldly and prepared to leave with his sleeves.
In Hu Hui's view, these people have not yet been tartarized, and it is not for the stability of the Ming Dynasty that he will not care about these people and wade into this troubled water.
Seeing these disgusting pictures now, Hu Hu doesn't want to stay for a moment.
But before he could leave to leave, he heard his name being called in his ear.
"Hu Butang! Hu Butang stays! Xing'an gasped and began to call from a long distance.
Hu Hui saw that it was the master of ceremonies

The superintendent, although he was a little unclear, still stopped his movements and stood quietly waiting for the other party.
Seeing that Hu Hui listened to his greeting, Xing'an nodded to Hu Hu from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Cao Butang! Cao Butang stays! ”
Cao Nai, who was not far from the palace gate, turned his head, looked at Xing'an, pointed at himself again, and then greeted Xing'an.
Xing'an let out a heavy breath, and began to speak loudly when there was still a distance between the two of them: "The emperor invited the two ministers to go to the Huagai Hall to talk about learning with the new science and technology scholars. ”
Waiting for Cao Nai and Hu Hu to stand side by side, Xing'an also arrived, and in the face of the two, Xing'an rearranged his clothes and calmed down, and said it again.
Hu Hu looked at Xing'an puzzled, as if he didn't understand why he had already resisted the emperor so much, why did he invite himself to a banquet with Xinke Jinshi, but in the end he swallowed his questions into his stomach.
As for Cao Nai, he was overjoyed, feeling that his efforts were worth it, and the emperor summoned him at this time, it must be because of his performance just now.
"There is Father-in-law Lao!" Cao Nai's gift.
Xing'an said with a smile on his face: "Cao Butang is polite, this is all a matter of the slave and maid, if there is no problem with the two adults, just hurry up and leave with the slave and maid, thinking that the new science and technology scholars have arrived, but I don't dare to let the emperor wait in a hurry." ”
"That's nature! Father-in-law, please! Cao Nai stretched out his arm, and the three of them walked towards the Huagai Hall together.
The Huagai Hall was not far away, and it didn't take much effort to hear the shouts of the new science and technology scholars, and they seemed to be very excited.
When he entered the Huagai Palace, Hu Hu realized that it was the Jinshi who wrote poems and flying flowers, and it was the turn of a chubby Jinshi, who couldn't say one, two, or three with a white face, and was being coaxed and punished by everyone in the palace.
Zhu Qizhen's gaze fell on Hu Hu and the others, there was no murderous aura in his eyes, he just nodded lightly to the two of them and motioned for the two to sit down, suppressing the noise in the hall.
Zhu Qizhen walked to the two of them with a wine glass, and said to Cao Nai first: "Cao Aiqing is the chief examiner of Enke, and he is also your teacher, we have to toast him in public and private, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"Hello teacher!"
"Drink one!"
……
The hall erupted in cheers.
Cao Nai was not pretentious, lifted the cup and lowered his stomach, and showed the bottom of the cup to the Jinshi in the palace.

When the scholars saw that the masters had drunk, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and drank all the wine in the cups one by one.
Zhu Qizhen smiled with satisfaction, and unconsciously glanced at Hu Hu, and the smile in his eyes became more and more blazing.
"This is my Ming Dynasty's decades-old book of the Ministry of Rites, and it is also the Ming Pillar Shi Hu Hu! Lord Hu is one of the five ministers of the first emperor and has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty.
When I was young, I even tried persuasion and teaching, and I looked at Mr. Hu in my heart, just like you look at Cao Nai.
Sir, the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, you have worked hard for me all your life, hard work! Zhu Qizhen bowed.
Hu Hui's eyes were moist, although he felt something was wrong in his heart, but it was already a great honor for the emperor to call himself Mr. in front of so many people.
Hu Hu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live!" The minister is a scholar, fortunately favored by the first emperor, in order to have such a heavy responsibility, the emperor is smart and skilled, young and heroic, and the minister does not dare to take credit. ”
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly helped Hu Hu up, touched the cup in his hand with Hu Hu, and drank it all.
Seeing this, Hu Hu hurriedly raised the wine glass, but was pressed in place by Zhu Qizhen with one hand.
"Mr. Hu, you are a teacher, and it is not too much to accept a glass of wine from students." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile.
Onlookers saw this scene, they all nodded frequently, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, respecting teachers and valuing education is naturally the top priority, and this move alone has captured the "heart" of the new Jinshi.
"The old minister is ashamed!" Hu Hui's expression was moved.
"This second cup, I want to respect Mr. Hu to turn the tide, and after the civil engineering, the Beijing master is safe, so that my Daming Society Jizong Temple can be preserved!" Zhu Qizhen then asked Jin Ying to pour himself a second glass of wine, and then drank it all after clinking glasses with Hu Hui.
Hu Hui's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and he was held down hard by Zhu Qizhen, but he couldn't send the wine into his stomach, and at this time Hu Hu already understood that this third cup was coming soon.
Sure enough, Jin Ying didn't hesitate for a moment, and when she saw Zhu Qizhen stretching out her hand, she naturally filled the cup.
"This third cup, I want to apologize to Mr. Hu, you have already resigned three times, and I have not allowed it to be selfish.
But today, I took this opportunity to look at Mr. so carefully, and then I realized how selfish the so-called government world was before, sir, you have lost weight! Zhu Qizhen drank the wine in the cup as a whole, and Jin Ying hurriedly continued.
Zhu Qizhen didn't speak in a hurry this time, but clinked glasses before Hu Hui, and couldn't wait for the cup to be placed on the bottom of Hu Hui's cup.
