Chapter 299: Palace Banquet

Zhang Lu was a little helpless in his heart, because the housekeeper really knelt on the ground.

This kind of thing is almost impossible to exist in later generations, but in this era, it is often staged and has become a microcosm of an era.

Of course, seeing this housekeeper who was old enough to be his grandfather kneeling on the ground and crying, Zhang Yan didn't have much sympathy in his heart.

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard has been developed to the extreme in this era, and if he hadn't shown so many tokens today, the housekeeper would probably have stepped on himself.

However, Zhang Zhen came from later generations, even if he came to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, some of his concepts could not be integrated with this era in the future.

It's like even if he doesn't like this housekeeper in his heart, Zhang Lu is unwilling to accept this housekeeper's knees, which not only tramples on the dignity of others, but also makes Zhang Lu go further and further in Xungui's so-called right.

Zhang Lu turned sideways and said, "I didn't say I was going to punish you, you better hurry up."

The housekeeper hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Zhen twice, and he didn't forget to mutter, "Lord Xie, Lord Xie is magnanimous."

Zhang Zhen frowned, "What are you doing here? You're that old, it's really not good. Hurry up."

seemed to understand that Zhang Zhen really forgave himself, and the housekeeper also stood up, he thanked Zhang Zhen again and again, and couldn't wait to say all the good things he knew.

Zhang Lu didn't want to say anything more to him, so he hurriedly instructed: "Hurry up and put all the carriages in place, follow me in a while, and remember not to put anything else in the carriage."

The old housekeeper dared to disobey, and hurriedly nodded yes.

In the end, Zhang Lu returned to Fuzhong with more than forty carriages and a dozen horses.

It's just that Zhang Rong's home is not comparable to Zhu Yunxi's private house at all, and the size alone is more than a step worse, so Zhang Rong's family can't put down so many carriages at all, and even because the house gate is small, they can't even drive the carriage into the yard.

And the surrounding neighbors also saw a very shocking scene, most of the more than 40 carriages stopped at the door of Zhang Lu's house, and those who couldn't stop were also arranged in the alley next to them.

I don't know what kind of big people think this house lives, but so many people come to visit in a carriage.

Zhang Lu returned home, and the housekeeper followed, Zhang Zhen didn't want to take him, but the housekeeper said that he was serving people's lives in his life, and his biggest face was to serve Zhu Yunxi.

Zhang Lu didn't want to listen to him babble about these things, so he simply nodded and agreed, on the condition that he talk less.

But as soon as he entered Zhang Lu's house, the housekeeper almost broke the defense.

He was Zhu Yunxi's housekeeper, and he naturally came into contact with a lot of nobles on weekdays, but when he saw that the nobles who were robbed in the Dharma field were actually here, he couldn't help but cry out.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and covered his mouth tightly with his hands.

He really regrets it now, he knew that he shouldn't have come, how good it was to be a housekeeper in Zhu Yunxi's private house, and he wanted to come over to serve his own prince.

Well, now that I see so many faces here that I shouldn't see, I can't really say that I will really be killed.

….

The butler had a sad expression on his face, tried his best to control his tone carefully, and said to Zhang Yu, "My lord, did I see someone I shouldn't be looking at? Is it too late for me to go back now?"

Zhang Lu glanced at the housekeeper angrily, you have to come yourself, and now you regret it? It's late!

Zhang Zhen snorted lightly and said, "I remember that I praised you for being a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say."

The butler covered his mouth again, but his expression was full of remorse.

"Old He? Why are you here?"

A voice came into the butler's ears, his surname was He, and this voice was extremely familiar, he immediately looked at the person who spoke.

Sure enough, it was Zhu Yunxi who spoke, but at this moment, there was obviously some dust on his robe, and he was still holding a broom in his hand.

was originally extremely aggrieved

The housekeeper felt even more aggrieved now, he came directly to Zhu Yunxi, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Lord Wang, the old slave wants to kill you, this adult came to the village with your token, and the old slave was really relieved, so he followed, you see, you have lost a lot of weight these days, you must have suffered a lot."

Zhang Zhen watched the housekeeper's hard-working performance, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this housekeeper is a talent, with this face and acting skills, I am afraid it will not be a problem to win an actor.

Zhu Yunxi thought that he had been assassinated, and now he didn't even dare to come out of the courtyard, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and the master and servant hugged each other and cried.

It wasn't until the two of them were gone with tears that it was over.

Zhang Lu came to Zhu Yunxi, took out the token and nine thousand taels of silver tickets in Zhu Yunxi's arms for a long time, "These silver tickets are yours, and you will have to bear everyone's expenses in the future."

Zhang Zhen blatantly blackened a thousand taels of silver tickets in front of the housekeeper, but the current housekeeper didn't even dare to put a fart, and even felt that Zhang Zhen was righteous, it was 10,000 taels, and 1,000 taels was only one-tenth, which was really less.

Zhu Yunxi is a royal nobleman, and he never asks about the price of his expenses, so he doesn't have much concept of money, and he doesn't even know what the price of a bun and a steamed bun in the market is.

Zhu Yunxi turned out the silver ticket and token, and put it into his arms without even counting them, and at the same time he patted his chest and said proudly: "It's just daily expenses, and they will be counted as mine in the future, if they go to my fiefdom, it will not be a problem for me to raise everyone for the rest of my life."

……

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang invited his ministers to hold a banquet in the palace.

The reason is to eradicate Lan Yu's comrades.

Many courtiers were promoted little by little from poor scholars, and people like them had a natural hostility towards the nobles.

So the atmosphere at the banquet was not bad.

Among the people invited, probably only Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, was not in a good mood, after all, he was also born in a noble position, although he sat quite high in the front position at the banquet, but those courtiers turned a blind eye to him.

It was precisely because he was in a bad mood and was snubbed that Fu Youde inevitably drank a few more glasses.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the main seat, looked at Fu Youde, the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, revealing a meaningful smile.

….

He stood up from the main seat, and the scene was quiet in an instant, everyone knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was the protagonist of the banquet, so when the protagonist moved, it would naturally attract everyone's attention.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the wine glass, walked slowly to Fu Youde, and said: "Ying Guogong is the pillar of the country, although he has destroyed the dog thief of Lan Yu, but our Ming Dynasty still has internal and external troubles, my grandson has entered the James Mansion, but after all, he is still young, and Ying Guogong will have to help him more in the future."

Fu Youde had been drinking sullen wine by himself, and he really didn't notice that Zhu Yuanzhang came to him, and he didn't raise his head until Zhu Yuanzhang said this.

Fu Youde got up with it, it seemed that he had drunk a little too much, and his steps were a little vain, and he almost didn't stand firm.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was quick and grabbed him.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled kindly and said, "Aiqing is drunk?"

Fu Youde nodded and said, "Minister, I can't drink enough, maybe I'm really a little drunk."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "That's a pity, I originally prepared some programs to accompany wine, it seems that you can't drink it."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, drank the wine in his hand, and threw the wine glass back to the main seat.

He sat down, looking unusually powerful, and the alcohol did not make him feel the slightest drunkenness, but made his eyes brighter and brighter.

"Jiang Xuan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked, and his voice was extremely loud.

Jiang Xuan walked out, still with that trademark smile, he arched his hand towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "The minister is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Feng Sheng was ordered to return to Beijing, when will he arrive?" I've really missed him all these years

。」

Jiang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Song Guogong is already unwilling, and it should be there in about two or three days."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a little excited, he patted the table and said, "Okay! When he arrives in Jinling, he must hold another lively banquet, and all of you will have to attend at that time, and none of you can ask for leave, and if anyone does not come, he will be punished as a bully!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the ministers, but finally looked at Fu Youde.

Fu Youde looked respectful, like a stone statue.

Zhu Yuanzhang poured himself another cup, raised his head and drank it again.

He smacked his lips, a little tasteless, and said, "Even if it is a good wine, it seems tasteless without some programs, today, I will add some programs to you Aiqing!" Jiang Xuan, who is on duty outside the palace today?"

Hearing this, Fu Youde immediately became nervous, because the person standing outside the hall today was none other than Fu Rang, the third son of his family.

Jiang Zhen also answered Zhu Yuanzhang's question directly, "Back to Your Majesty, it is a coincidence that the person on duty outside the palace today is the third son of the Ying Guo family, Fu Rang."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, he smiled slightly, and said, "Very good, Fu let that kid I still know, let him come to the palace quickly!"

Soon, Fu Rang was brought to the top of the main hall, since the nobles in Jinling City were dragged to behead one by one, Fu Rang has long lost his original heroism, and all he wants now is to live well.

Fu Rang was extremely respectful, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, and when he reached the middle of the main hall, he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general, Fu Rang, has seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "They are all my juniors, so why bother with these etiquettes, I came to ask you, can you dance a knife?"

Although Fu Rang didn't know anything too deep in martial arts, he was good at dancing knives and guns, so he nodded and said, "The end will."

Night rivers and lakes.
