Chapter 51: The Dinner Party
As soon as Zhu Di said this, all the ministers turned their heads to look at the people they were familiar with.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty, how could he still say such a thing?"
"I don't know, but Your Majesty looks very happy today, and I guess he won't be looking for anything from us."
Zhu Di also realized the doubts of the ministers, and he cleared his throat before continuing to speak.
"Zhong Aiqing has also seen it, there is a bottle of wine in front of you, this is the best wine I think I have been drinking recently, Zhong Aiqing can also taste it, if you think it is delicious, don't forget to bring me some in the future."
"Your Majesty! The minister has something to say! ”
As soon as Zhu Di's words fell, His Royal Highness spoke.
"Say, I'm in a good mood today, if you have any requests to make, as long as it's not too much, I can meet you."
Zhu Di smiled and looked at the minister who spoke.
That person was Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
"Your Majesty, the minister has heard of this wine, but I heard that the wine shop has a bad reputation, if Your Majesty likes to taste wine, you can change it, there is no need to buy it in this house."
Zheng Ci's words fell, Zhu Di's eyes gradually sank, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised also drooped.
"You're saying that this liquor shop has a bad reputation, so I shouldn't drink it?"
Zheng Ci was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head.
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that, the minister just felt that since the reputation of this shop is not good, maybe their wine is also made of some messy things, and drinking it will be bad for Your Majesty's dragon body."
The unhappiness in Zhu Di's eyes was about to overflow, but Zheng Ci lowered his head but didn't notice it, but kept telling Zhu Di about all the bad things he heard.
"Ji Gang, I remember that I have ordered you to rectify these things, have you rectified them?"
Finally waiting for Zheng Ci to stop, Zhu Di turned his eyes to look at Ji Gang who was standing in the farthest distance.
Ji Gang knew that he must be publicly executed by Zhu Di the moment Zheng Ci opened his mouth.
Hearing Zhu Di shout his name, Ji Gang hurriedly walked forward a few steps, and then knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists at Zhu Di.
"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates have already taken people to the capital to take a turn, as for this wine shop in your mouth, my subordinates have already been there, that arrogant and domineering guy is now in the palace prison, presumably the wine shop will also change people in the future, please don't worry about Your Majesty."
Zhu Di's complexion eased a little, and then he looked at Zheng Ci again.
"Zheng Shangshu sit down, I will accompany me to taste the wine today, as for the matter of the wine shop, Commander Ji also said it just now, it has been dealt with, and there is no need to worry about it."
As he spoke, Zhu Di picked up the wine on the table, and then looked at the ministers in front of him.
"I salute all Aiqing, I hope you Aiqing will give me some face!"
Zhu Di raised his head and drank half a bottle of wine, then put down the bottle and looked down at all the ministers of His Royal Highness.
Some people who have tasted this wine already know the good taste of this wine, and at this moment, they don't need to be persuaded by others, they just drink it themselves.
If someone takes the lead, someone will naturally follow.
Within five seconds, all the ministers had already tasted the wine in their hands.
And their response was surprisingly unanimous.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, this wine is really delicious, and as for selling it so expensive, there is a suitable reason."
"Today's ministers are also blessed, with Your Majesty drinking such a fine wine, thank Your Majesty for the reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers began to pat Zhu Di's ass one after another.
Zhu Di's complexion is much better with the naked eye.
"In that case, today's dinner has begun, and the ministers can say anything they want to say to me, no matter what dissatisfaction I have today, I will not punish you!"
Zhu Di said with a smile on his face, but when he turned his head to see Ji Gang, the smile on his face suddenly became much less.
Ji Gang naturally also noticed Zhu Di's gaze, he lowered his head slightly, and did not continue to look at Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."
At this time, a minister stood up and looked at Zhu Di.
"Tell me about anything, I can hear about it."
The minister burped before he continued.
"Your Majesty, the minister still wants to meet those mysterious people and the behind-the-scenes commanders, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to meet this little request of the minister."
Zhu Di subconsciously sneered.
He placed the bottle in his hand heavily on his desk, then leaned forward, staring straight at the minister.
"Could it be that what I said last time wasn't clear enough? Did I say that I won't let you see him now, why are you still talking to me about it? ”
Everyone could see that Zhu Di was angry, and no one among the ministers dared to continue to speak.
The minister who had just started also sat back slowly and did not speak again.
For a while, the atmosphere of the whole dinner was about to freeze.
"Father, everyone is just curious, you can't forget it, don't be too angry, don't hurt your body."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up and played a round game.
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaochi, didn't speak again, but slowly leaned back in the chair.
"I hope you will all listen to what I say, instead of provoking me again and again like this."
"Wait for me."
Your Highness, the response of the ministers came.
"In other words, don't you have anything you want to report, or if there is anything you can chat with me, you can take it out and talk about it."
Zhu Di was silent for a long time before he spoke again.
"Your Majesty, if you are talking about business, this occasion is not very appropriate."
Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that no one spoke, so he got up and looked at Zhu Di.
"In that case, then you should play something to me, since I have said so, you have nothing to say, then it may all be business."
With that, Zhu Di stood up.
He knew that all the ministers would not have fun staying here.
"You guys play here, I'm tired, so I'll go first."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
None of the ministers wanted to keep Zhu Di.
Even if there were, none of them dared to say it.
After all, the imperial aura on Zhu Di's body really made their every move doubly stressed.
Zhu Di is gone, and they just happen to be free.
When Zhu Di walked out, he turned his head and glanced at Ji Gang by the way.
Ji Gang understood Zhu Di's eyes, so he also went out with Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed ineffective in the handling of subordinates, and please punish Your Majesty."
