Qianqing Palace.

Lao Zhu looked at the table full of food, and secretly regretted it in his heart.

Since he arranged an errand for the eldest grandson, this grandson has not entered the palace for five days, so he has no appetite for food.

"Erhu, will you come to dine with us?"

"Huh?"

Erhu wanted to say that he had already eaten, but when he saw the emperor's resentful eyes, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only sit down and eat.

In fact, eating with the emperor is a very painful errand, even if it is a close person like Erhu, he can hide.

Because, the emperor's imperial food is not very delicious, just a little safer.

In addition, there are many rules, and it is not easy to sit steadily, and it is also restrained in eating, so no one wants to cause this idle matter.

However, the second tiger is relatively better, not too picky eater, belongs to the kind of person who gives what to eat, and is very easy to feed.

With the addition of Erhu, the food on the table decreased rapidly, and Lao Zhu's appetite became a little better, and he finally drank half a bowl of porridge and ate a plate of chicken fried leeks.

Just as the two tigers were about to hug the table, the eunuch outside the door suddenly reported that His Royal Highness the Third Emperor Sun asked to see him.

Lao Zhu Wenyan's face immediately showed surprise, and Erhu was almost choked by the boiled chicken, secretly thinking that he had eaten all the food, what would the three emperors and grandsons eat in a while?

"Let him get in!"

"Humph!"

"When we were in the palace, we carried his ears, and we didn't teach him the rules. It's only been a few days since I went out, and I've learned so much! ”

After a while, a quick running sound came, and then Zhu Yunxi came in through the small door of the side hall like a big mouse, rushed in and hugged Lao Zhu and shook it.

"Grandpa Huang doesn't miss me!"

"Isn't it that I can't sleep well and eat badly these days, hahaha!"

Lao Zhu was so swayed by his grandson that he was about to fall apart, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the words of the reverse grandson.

"Who are you!"

"Come on, give us this leather monkey!"

Zhu Yunxi said cheaply.

"You don't even know me, I'm your eldest son!"

Lao Zhu's original face was straight, but when he heard this, he directly broke the defense, and laughed out loud. But after laughing for a while, he scolded a few more words as if complaining.

"Let's sleep well every day and eat well, so we don't want you to be a conscienceless little rebel!"

Zhu Yunxi had long expected that the old man would be angry, and hurriedly explained when he heard this.

"Isn't this also worrying about the country!"

"You don't know, my grandson has been running all over the city and outside the city in the past few days, and his legs are thin!"

Zhu Yunxi said as he lifted the front swing and showed Lao Zhu his thighs.

Lao Zhu saw that he was so shapeless, and slapped him on the ass angrily.

"Don't be funny, sit down and eat!"

After Lao Zhu finished eating, he couldn't help but glance at the table, and saw that the table was already in a mess, so he couldn't help glaring at Erhu.

"Your mouth is too fast, our eldest grandson hasn't eaten it yet, and you've eaten it all?"

Erhu grabbed two buns in his hands and was about to stuff them into his mouth. Suddenly hearing this, for a while, I didn't eat, I didn't eat, I froze there.

"Emperor, do you want to put these two buns back?"

Lao Zhu said with a disgusted face.

"You've grabbed it with your hands, how can our eldest grandson eat it!"

"Where's Lao Xu?"

Lao Zhu looked around and didn't see Xu Xingzu, so he immediately ordered.

"Come on, go to the imperial dining room to spread the decree, hurry up and give our eldest grandson some more food!"

Hearing this, Erhu hurriedly got up and hurriedly said.

"Humble duty, let's go and preach the decree!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't dislike it at all, and directly reached out and picked up a bun and nibbled on it. While gnawing, he complained to Lao Zhu.

"Grandpa Huang, don't you know how hard and tired your grandson has been these days."

"I haven't eaten seriously for a few days, and I eat dry food on the road!"

"Do you see if I've lost weight?"

Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson's fatter and fatter face, but he didn't see that he was thin. And he sneered at what the eldest grandson said about eating dry food for a meal.

He had already sent someone to inquire clearly, and this grandson ordered a banquet in the restaurant every day to eat on the road.

Although it was very hard to rush and inspect, he didn't wronged himself, and he ate a lot of fish and meat well.

However, when Lao Zhu heard his eldest grandson say this, he was still a little cautious in his heart.

After all, the eldest grandson's hard work along the way is real, and there is no falsehood.

And I heard the secret report of his subordinates that the eldest grandson was very meticulous when he inspected it, and he did not miss every workshop or process.

Every time I go to a place, I will carefully record what I see and hear, and from time to time I chat with the craftsmen and ask about some details of production and life.

Every time Lao Zhu thinks of this, he feels sour in his heart, the eldest grandson's behavior is just the same as his father's simple appearance......

When Zhu Biao went out to practice when he was young, he was also so meticulous and serious, and he also paid great attention to the people's feelings.

Lao Zhu thought that this monkey was just a whim, and he should come back to complain to himself in a few days. I didn't expect that the complaint was really a complaint, but this rebel grandson gritted his teeth and did the errand, which greatly surprised him.

"Little rebel grandson, how do you feel after inspecting it in the past few days?"

Zhu Yunxi was munching on buns, and suddenly heard this and replied vaguely.

"It's so bitter!"

Lao Zhu sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, this is where and where is he complaining, our eldest son only complained about bitterness when he went out to patrol the world.

At that time, the war had just ended, and there were no people in prosperous places such as Yangzhou, let alone the real countryside.

However, Zhu Biao persevered all the way and did not say a word of bitterness.

It seems that this grandson still lacks experience, and he should really be sent out for a walk again to see the real suffering of the people.

"Those craftsmen lived too hard, and the place where they lived didn't even have a wall, just a thatched hut."

"And the food is not good, I can eat a few bowls of dry rice with pickles, it's like a festival."

"Grandpa Huang, what did you think back then, to come up with such a pit craftsman system?"

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard the first few words, and secretly said that this grandson is not complaining for himself, but for the craftsman!

But when he heard the last sentence, Lao Zhu's temper immediately came up and broke off.

"You know a lot!"

"You've only been eating dry for a few days, and you dare to ask us to come, let's see that your ass is itchy again, and you want to be whipped!"

Lao Zhu naturally knows the shortcomings of the artisan household system, even if he didn't know it at first, but after being the emperor for more than 20 years, he can receive the help of the artisan household fleeing every year, and he can also realize that there is a problem with the artisan household system.

But he never wanted to change, or was unable to change.

Because collecting taxes has been a big problem since ancient times, especially for this kind of craftsmen who have no fixed place to live and have no permanent production under their names, it is even more difficult to collect taxes.

They are working in Jinling City this year, and they may go to Beiping next year, and they may not know where they will go the year after next.

Therefore, it became a logical way to firmly fix them firmly on the household registration of the craftsmen, and every move was carried out under the supervision of the government.

But the most important reason why he is so angry is that the people who question him are wrong.

If an ordinary person questions it, he won't care even if he is unhappy. But Zhu Yunxi questioned, which made him a little annoyed. I feel that the authority of my imperial grandfather has been questioned and has become less authoritative.

"Learn more, watch more, talk less and do less."

"Do you think that after worshipping three masters, you can point fingers at our ruling power?"

"Let's tell you, you're still a long way off!"

"No matter how hard our Ming craftsmen are, it is better than when Meng Yuan was in time, at least we have never killed anyone indiscriminately!"

"You go and check how miserable the craftsmen were in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, and then criticize our government!"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu was angry, so he hurriedly shrunk his neck and concentrated on cooking.

secretly said in his heart that what the three masters said was right, if he really wrote according to his first version of the article, it would be strange for the imperial grandfather to hang himself up and beat him.

If you don't do it, you can directly pick up your own errands and put yourself back in the main hall as a primary school monk.

Lao Zhu saw that his eldest grandson was only concerned about eating leftovers, and he felt distressed again, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Don't eat these leftovers yet, wait for the imperial dining room to bring you new ones later."

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

"It's okay, my grandson doesn't dislike it, it's all food, it's a pity to lose it."

Lao Zhu Wenyan glared at the eldest grandson and said.

"We don't like it!"

"This is all the leftovers of the dog that Erhu eats, how can we let you eat this!"

Erhu had just come back from the imperial dining room, and when he heard this, he was embarrassed in his heart.

Isn't this what you always let me eat, why has it become my second tiger's fault again!

Besides, I'm not a dog's leftover, it's clearly a tiger's leftover......

Not long after, the imperial dining room sent another imperial meal, and Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson ate sweetly, and then ate two more bowls.

After the two had breakfast, Lao Zhu took a toothpick and slowly picked his teeth, while Zhu Yunxi sat on a chair like a little seal and slapped his belly to digest food.

After Lao Zhu finished picking his teeth, he stretched out his hand towards Zhu Yunxi.

"Bring it!"

"What?"

"Give us a strip of Chen!"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, how do you know that I have a strip of Chen, you shouldn't have buried eyeliner by my side, right?"

Lao Zhu casually lied when he heard this.

"Do you still ask anyone else about this?"

"When you entered the palace early in the morning, you must have sent us a piece of Chen!"

"Oh......"

Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu say this, so he took out the written note from his sleeve. Lao Zhu took it and was about to look at it, when he suddenly heard a report from the eunuch.

"Emperor Qiqi, the second emperor and grandson kneel outside the palace and ask for an audience!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he suddenly had a puzzle in his heart.

"What is he here for?"

"Back to the emperor, the second emperor's grandson is still holding a piece of music in his hand......"

Lao Zhu couldn't sit still when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and walked outside the hall.

Zhu Yunwen saw the imperial grandfather come out, and hurriedly bowed.

"Grandson Zhu Yunwen, meet your grandfather and grandfather, and wish your grandfather a thousand blessings and peace!"
