"Why is Your Majesty's face so red?"

"Could it be that he used too much force when he kowtowed in the Fengxian Hall?"

"It shouldn't be, if that's the case, why is the Fifth Highness's face as usual?"

"Uh...... This ......"

Feng Xiandian walked out, and Zhu Youxiao, who was not strong enough to drink, immediately turned red, fortunately, he was just easy to get up, and he was not drunk, otherwise Zhu Youzhen would be guilty.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's appearance, the first assistant of the cabinet came up from Zhe and said with concern.

"I'm fine, move a few banquets, and after the enthronement ceremony ends quickly, presiding over the court meeting is the most important thing."

Zhu Youxiao also knew that he had lost his temper, he glanced at Zhu Youzhen, but saw his younger brother's weak eyes, nose, nose, and heart.

There was no way, he could only explain to Fang Congzhe, and he was glad that the taste of mung bean cake overshadowed the taste of rice wine.

"Since it's okay, then please Your Majesty, now go to the palace for a few feasts, and Weichen will take the ministers to the Wenhua Hall to prepare for the court meeting first."

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao insisted that he was fine, Fang Congzhe could only take a step back, and Zhu Youzhen, as the prince, did not need to go to the palace at this time.

The previous time they went, they went as father and son, and now the successor emperor is going to worship the previous emperor, and he doesn't need to go as a vassal king.

Therefore, when he saw the ministers leaving, he was also about to sit on the elephant chariot and slip away, but as soon as he wanted to slip away, Wei Zhongxian walked over and said with a flattering face:

"Fifth Highness, Your Majesty said, tell you to go back to the East Palace to change your clothes during the court meeting, and go to the Qianqing Palace to wait for him."

Dead Eunuch ......

Looking at Wei Zhongxian's old face in his fifties, which was thick and deadly, Zhu Youzhen could only bow his head slightly while being speechless, and then put on the elephant rim with his cooing stomach.

"Cheng'en, hurry up, go back to the Qin Palace, and ask the chef in the East Palace to cook me more food."

"Yes."

Seeing Zhu Youzhen say this, Wang Chengen immediately drove the elephant chariot towards the Qingong Palace.

After two quarters of an hour, when they arrived at the Miaoqin Palace, it happened that the cook of the East Palace had also finished the dishes.

The two little eunuchs carried the sedan chair serving the dishes, and when they saw Zhu Youzhen, they were in a hurry, and they were afraid that the dishes would be spilled, and they were afraid of being scolded if they did not salute.

"Don't salute, hurry up and bring the dishes in, and Cheng'en, you ask someone to go to the household department to ask, when will the silver for repairing the emperor's tomb be allocated."

Zhu Youzhen entered the palace in a hurry, Wang Chengen saw this, so he could only ask someone to go to the household department to ask, and he followed Cao Huachun into the palace.

But after entering the temple, plates of dishes were put on the table.

After all the dishes were served, Zhu Youzhen just changed into his crown clothes, and the eunuch who passed the dishes also reported the dishes:

"Breakfast in the palace: fried and dragged goose, stir-fried yellow cabbage with pork, artemisia with clear juice, steamed pork trotters, reed noodles, bean soup, and tea."

Five dishes, one soup, one bowl of noodles, and a cup of tea, which is not rich in the breakfast in the inner court, but Zhu Youzhen set his own breakfast.

He won't be like Chongzhen in history, stupid cabbage and tofu soup every day.

Saving money will not save an army, but earning silver is the king.

Therefore, he had already told the cook of the East Palace that he had set a standard for his three meals a day.

His three breakfasts consisted of three meats, two vegetarian dishes, one soup, one staple food, and one tea.

Lunch four meats, six vegetarian dishes, two soups, one staple food, one tea.

For dinner, there are two meats, four vegetarian dishes, one soup, one staple food, and one tea.

All dishes are changed every day, not the same, and there is a cycle of ten days.

That is to say, in ten days, in addition to the staple food, he has to take turns to eat 250 dishes and 30 kinds of tea.

It seems like a lot, but when you calculate it carefully, his food silver is only six hundred and twenty taels a month, and seven thousand four hundred and forty taels a year.

Compared with him, Zhu Youxiao's soup and rice silver in the Heart Palace alone is more than 6,000 taels a year, and counting other dishes, it can be said that the cost is nearly 30,000 taels.

This is quite frugal, his ancestors Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, as well as the recent Wanli Emperor, spend at least 50,000 taels of silver on food a year.

But even so, in terms of eating, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is already a slightly frugal royal family except for the Qin and Han dynasties.

Zhu Youzhen would not treat himself badly, and as soon as his clothes were changed, he began to eat his meals in a big gulp.

Time is pressing, it stands to reason that the court meeting after the enthronement ceremony will at most determine the name of the year that will begin next year, and there are some other trivial things, and the time will not be too long.

So there wasn't much time for him to eat.

After eating, he still has to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for something from the good imperial brother, and by the way, he will ask for the silver that should be issued by the household.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen finished eating, and rinsed his mouth with tea by the way.

When everything was done, he got up and changed back into his regular clothes.

"Let's go, Qianqing Palace!"

When he said it in one sentence, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were busy.

They arranged before and after, and then ordered someone to prepare the chariot, and when everything was ready, they escorted Zhu Youzhen to the Qianqing Palace.

Coincidentally, as soon as they came out of the East Palace, they saw the appearance of the Wenhua Palace, and thought that Zhu Youxiao had returned to the Qianqing Palace.

In this way, Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry, and asked Wang Chengen to leave slowly, while he wanted to ask for things from the royal brother.

He thought about it, and the best thing for his good royal brother was to stay by his side.

It's the simplest thing ever.

From Changping to the capital, it is only one hundred and twenty miles, if he is skilled in riding a horse, the post stations along the way will also become his own people, and if he changes horses, he will arrive in the capital in one day at most.

It really didn't work, so he went back to the capital once every five days.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen also had an idea in his heart.

When the chariot arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Wang An, who was waiting here early, greeted him.

"Your Highness, Banzai is waiting for you inside."

Seeing that Wang An took the initiative to show goodwill, Zhu Youzhen nodded, and then said:

"When you go to Nanjing, help me inquire about the situation over there, the more carefully you inquire, the faster you will come back."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the slave knows how to do it." Wang An bowed slightly, and then walked into the Qianqing Palace with Zhu Youzhen.

Just when they came in, the Imperial Chef's meal had just been served.

"Brother is here? Let's have a bite to eat. ”

Compared with Zhu Youzhen's breakfast, Zhu Youxiao's breakfast has five meat and six vegetables, two soups, one side, one fragrant rice, and a cup of tribute tea.

This extravagant breakfast made people feel a pain in the back of their hearts, but Zhu Youzhen didn't feel extravagant and wasteful when he saw it, but didn't salute, and sat directly next to Zhu Youxiao:

"I've eaten it, and I came this time to tell my brother that I'm going to take a batch of armor weapons from the armor factory."

"Then tomorrow we will escort the coffin of the imperial examination to Tianshou Mountain, and the main palace room of Tianshou Mountain has also been completed."

"So I want to ask my brother when the money from the household department and the ministry of industry will be issued, and I will go with Yang to prepare for it.
