A group of ministers led by the Marquis of Wuping sat quietly at the door of the imperial study for a day, and sat until the evening, when the palace gate was about to be keyed, and then they went back.

Although I didn't kneel for a day, I sat quietly at the door of the imperial study for a day, and I didn't have lunch. In the evening, when they returned, they were tired and hungry.

Back at home, the ministers couldn't wait to eat. One by one, they were hungry and devoured.

Seeing that they were working so hard, their family persuaded them not to resist, but they said that if the emperor obeyed the emperor's wishes this time, the emperor would do more excessive things in the future. In order to defend their interests, they must not give up easily this time.

As long as the emperor can take back his fate, they will have no problem even if they sit quietly at the door of the imperial study for a year.

Their families dare not say, is it useful for them to meditate like this?

In the dining room of the Zichen Palace, the emperor was eating hot pot deliciously.

Sun Kui saw that the emperor was sweating profusely, so he hurriedly handed over a towel and asked him to wipe his sweat.

The emperor took the towel and continued to eat while wiping his sweat.

Sun Kui saw that the emperor was spicy, not only his face was red, but even his neck was red, and he couldn't help but worry that the emperor would be spicy.

"Your Majesty, you can't eat such a spicy pot, the slave maid should change the soup pot for you."

"I'm not spicy." The emperor said stiffly, "I am enjoying my food, don't you ruin my happiness." ”

"The slave is worried that you will have a stomachache later." The emperor can't eat too spicy, every time he eats something too spicy, he will have a stomachache.

"No, I can eat spicy food now." The emperor said, picking up the dried mushrooms that had been soaked in the pot. "I have to say that Xiao Shi, a stinky boy, can eat it, just make this fungus dry, I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that His Royal Highness the King of Han is a famous gourmet, and no one in this capital knows that His Royal Highness the King of Han will eat." In terms of food, His Royal Highness King Han is definitely a leader. "His Royal Highness the King of Han knows more than everyone in the world to eat."

"The stinky boy said that fresh mushrooms would taste better, and he was trying to find a way to cultivate them artificially. When the artificial cultivation is successful, the capital can also grow mushrooms. "The emperor thought that his youngest son was willing to study food, and his heart was curious and funny." By the way, the chili peppers I eat now were also sent back by this stinky boy, and he also made dried chili peppers on purpose. ”

"Didn't His Royal Highness King Han give you a box of chili sauce, and said that it was a specialty from Lingnan." The emperor rewarded Sun Kui with a bottle of chili sauce, Sun Kui liked it very much, but it was too spicy. "The chili sauce sent by His Royal Highness the King of Han is really delicious, and the slaves and maids are just used to mix noodles or dip steamed buns to eat, I really don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Han asked people to make such a delicious chili sauce."

"The stinky boy said that the chili peppers in Lingnan are different from those in Beijing, and he also said that they are marinated with the unique condiments in Lingnan, and they can't be pickled in Beijing."

"Your Majesty, why did His Royal Highness the King of Han go down to Lingnan, the slaves and maids feel that Lingnan has become a treasure land, and there are good things everywhere, you see how many good things His Royal Highness the King of Han sent back." Obviously, Lingnan has been a place of exile since ancient times, and it is still very desolate and remote, and no one wants to go, but after His Royal Highness King Han went down, he felt that Lingnan had become a feng shui treasure land with many good things. "Just this mushroom, there should be many places in the capital and Jiangnan, but no one eats it, but when His Royal Highness the King of Han went to Lingnan, he turned the mushroom that no one eats into a delicious and good dish."

"The stinky boy said that the fungi in the inland are different from the fungi in Lingnan. In addition to being delicious, Lingnan mushrooms are also good for the body. The emperor smiled, "What do women eat more can have the effect of beautifying and nourishing their faces, and men can eat to nourish the kidneys and strengthen the yang." ”

"Ah, the fungus still has this effect."

"The stinky boy is talking nonsense, just to sell mushrooms." The emperor didn't believe that the mushrooms had these effects, but the mushrooms were indeed delicious.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han is very good at doing business." Every time His Royal Highness the King of Han makes something new, he can sell it for a lot of money, not to mention the glass, but the white sugar made by His Royal Highness the King of Han before, which made the household make a lot of money, and the household is full of smiles every day.

"The stinky boy is smart, he is now focused on doing business and making money." The emperor was both proud and helpless about this, "If he uses this cleverness to do business, I will be able to worry less." ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han is the most like you, and he doesn't like to be an emperor like you." The emperor has been an emperor for so many years, and he still complains every day that being an emperor is hard, and he wants to strike every day to be an improper emperor.

"It's not good to be like me." The emperor was unwilling to be the lord of the world, but he had to do it. "If I could, I didn't want to force him to be the emperor, but God chose him to be the emperor, and he had to do it if he didn't do it." The emperor's expression is rare and serious, "For the sake of the common people in the world, I have to force him to be the emperor." ”

Sun Kui comforted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Han will understand your hard work in the future." ”

"The stinky boy won't understand my hard work, he will only hate me for making him emperor." The emperor could already imagine how his youngest son would react if he was forced to become emperor in the future.

"Maybe His Royal Highness King Han didn't understand it at first, but he will definitely understand it in the future." Everyone in the world wants to be the emperor when they break their heads, but the father and son of the emperor and His Royal Highness the King of Han don't like to be emperors. They don't like to be emperors, and they have to be emperors.

"I don't expect him to understand, I know that as long as I force him to sit on the throne, he will be as responsible for the world as I am." If he were just a father, he would never force his son to do something he didn't like, but he was not just a father, he was also an emperor. He is the emperor first, and then the father, so he can only think about the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty first.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is exactly the same as the emperor."

The Emperor smiled and said, "He is the most like me." "The youngest son's heart is exactly the same as that of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow Marquis Wuping, I'm afraid they will sit in protest."

After the emperor finished eating, he picked up a towel and wiped his mouth, "It's a pity." ”

Sun Kui asked with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, what do you regret?" ”

"It's a pity that it doesn't rain these days." The Emperor suddenly laughed evilly, "If it rains, it will be fun." ”

Sun Kui: "...... Your Majesty, you are so bad.

"You will go to Tai Shiling and ask later, and see if there is any rain in the past few days."

Your Majesty, you are really here.

"Your Majesty, if it really rains, Marquis Wuping will definitely get sick if they get drenched in the rain." Sun Kui reminded the emperor, "The bodies of Marquis Wuping and Marquis Chiyang are quite tough, but the bodies of other adults don't seem to be so good....... If a minister really dies, the matter will be serious.

The emperor said with a smile: "If they die in the rain, it will be regarded as fulfilling their loyalty, and then they can leave a good name in the history books." ”

Hearing what the emperor said so seriously, Sun Kui's heart sank suddenly, "Your Majesty, you don't really want God to rain, do you?" ”

"I want to, but God doesn't listen to me." The Emperor jokingly said, "I can't go and pray for rain. ”

Sun Kui: "...... "Your Majesty, you really want those adults to die."

"If they want to meditate, let them sit well until they are satisfied."

On the second day, after the morning court, Marquis Wuping and the others really went to the door of the imperial study to sit and resist.

The emperor still thoughtfully asked Sun Kui to prepare futons for them, as well as tea and snacks.

When the king of Chu came to the imperial study, he saw the Marquis of Wuping sitting at the door of the imperial study with an awe-inspiring face, and he only felt funny.

When Sun Doudou saw the king of Chu coming, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted the king of Chu.

The king of Chu politely said to Sun Doudou: "I have something to see my father, and I bother my little grandson to report it." ”

"You're polite, slave and maid will report it."

The King of Chu stood at the door of the imperial study, as if he did not see the Marquis of Wuping.

After a while, Sun Doudou walked out and said respectfully to the King of Chu: "Your Highness, the emperor invites you in." ”

"Thank you." After the king of Chu thanked him, he walked into the imperial study.

"Erchen has seen his father."

"Get up." The emperor looked at the King of Chu gently, "What's the matter with looking for me?" ”

The king of Chu did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "Father, the sons and daughters feel that it is time for the third emperor brother to return to Beijing." ”

"Oh?" The emperor did not expect that it would be the king of Chu who proposed to let King Zheng return to Beijing, which surprised him a little. He took a deep look at King Chu and asked, "Why do you want King Zheng to return to Beijing?" ”

The king of Chu said bluntly: "Father, the Duke of Anyang supports the apportionment of the land into the mu, the fire consumption to the duke and the official gentry to pay the grain, in order to let the three emperor brothers return to Beijing." ”

The emperor was a little surprised by King Chu's straightforwardness, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Duke Anyang didn't plead with me to let King Zheng return to Beijing, are you going to sell him a good one?" ”

"Erchen didn't want to sell it to Duke Anyang, Erchen just felt that it was time to let the Third Emperor Brother come back."

"Reason."

"There's no reason." It was always difficult for the king of Chu to tell the emperor about the things that King Zheng had done in Jiaozhou, after all, he had no evidence. "Erchen just thinks it's time for the third emperor brother to go back to the capital."

The emperor glanced at the King of Chu again with deep meaning, and then said, "I know, do you have anything else?" ”

King of Chu: "The son of the minister retired." ”

After the king of Chu left, the emperor let out a chuckle: "The fourth child really surprised me. ”

In fact, King Chu was obviously able to name a hundred reasons for King Zheng to return to Beijing, but he didn't say any of them, just said that he felt that King Zheng should return to Beijing.

Sun Kui's heart was also full of questions: Why does His Royal Highness King Chu think that His Royal Highness King Zheng should return to Beijing? His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that he had no intention of selling well to the Duke of Anyang, so why did he propose to let His Royal Highness King Zheng return to Beijing? Does he want to befriend His Royal Highness King Zheng?

However, when His Royal Palace of Chu proposed to let His Royal Highness King Zheng return to Beijing, there was no joy on his face, on the contrary, his expression was very cold. I don't know if it's his delusion, he feels that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a murderous aura just now.

"Your Majesty, do you want His Royal Highness King Zheng to return to Beijing?"

The emperor hooked the corners of his mouth and showed an intriguing smile: "Duke Anyang sacrificed so much, I don't let the third child come back, wouldn't it chill Duke Anyang's heart." After speaking, he said meaningfully, "It's time for the third child to come back." (End of chapter)
