Chapter 64: A Sword Goes Through the Storm (I)
Cooked and eaten now, this is relatively fresh, plus the chicken soup and dipping sauce that Chu Mo personally boiled.
Taste, of course, needless to say!
"Hehe, stinky Chumo, I didn't think you had a good hand!"
"Mo'er, your hot pot is really fresh, another day, I have to let your father taste it too!"
Tang Jing and the queen are all brilliant.
This so-called hot pot, although it is the first time I have heard of it, but this taste is definitely a must in the world!
"So-so!"
Chu Mo smiled, a little smug in his eyes.
"Queen Mother, stinky Tang Jing, hurry up, it's not delicious when it's cold!"
This hot pot can be regarded as greatly pleasing Queen Tang Lan and cousin Tang Jing.
It also brought a new business opportunity to Chu Mo, that is, to change the shops that sold lotus leaf chicken in Kyoto into hot pot restaurants.
At that time, the business of these hot pot restaurants will definitely be even hotter than lotus leaf chicken, and he can even buy an entire street and make it into a food street to drain the money in the pockets of these rich people in Kyoto.
Of course, this is just an idea, and if you want to really implement it, I'm afraid that at this moment, he won't be able to make such a big scale.
The most important thing is that now the forces in the open and in the dark are beginning to look at him, and he must cultivate his own forces, and only after ensuring that his position is as stable as Mount Tai and no one can shake his position as the crown prince can he rest assured that he can engage in the economy.
When he came back from the palace, it was already afternoon, and Chu Mo immediately stepped up his martial arts training and practiced until the evening.
Immediately afterwards, I began to look at the income of today's lotus leaf chicken. ,
After reading the accounts, Chu Mo looked outside, it was already late at night.
After putting down the account book in his hand, Chu Mo rubbed his tired eyes, leaned back in the chair and sighed: "Alas, although I have made a lot of money, but now there are more and more things, I can't do everything myself, I don't have so much energy!"
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly sat up straight, and muttered to himself: "It seems that I have to find a trustworthy person to manage the accounts, otherwise if I stay up all night every day, I am afraid that I will not need the boss and the fourth killer to assassinate me, and I will exhaust myself to death." ”
In his heart, in fact, Shui Ruhua is the best candidate!
She is not only good at calculations, but also knows how to run a business, and is an excellent candidate to manage the accounts.
It's just that he can't trust Shui Ruhua, so it is naturally impossible to hand over the silver taels he earned to Shui Ruhua's management.
"Looks like we have to find someone we can trust quickly. ”
Blowing out the light, Chu Mo lay on the bed, and soon entered the dream fragrance.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, before Chu Mo woke up, Li Jin knocked lightly on the door outside the house: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to get up, if you don't get up again, you won't be able to catch up with the morning court." ”
"Early Dynasty?" Chu Mo opened his hands in a daze, and then suddenly hit a spirit: "That's right! Why did you forget that you were going to the early dynasty today." ”
He smiled bitterly in his heart, quickly got up, and opened the door.
And Li Jin had already ordered someone to bring hot water, and immediately waited for him to wash and get dressed.
Li Jin accompanied him at this time, and went straight to the palace in a carriage.
This time, they went to the early court, so there was no need to go through the back door, and Chu Mo was forced to wear a court dress embroidered with python patterns for the first time.
I was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
The two of them galloped all the way, and finally caught up with the early dynasty when the ministers entered the palace hall.
So, Li Jin was still waiting outside, and Chu Mo followed the ministers into the main hall and walked to the front position.
But suddenly, he didn't know where he should stand.
Because this stupid prince had never been to the early dynasty before, in his memory, he naturally didn't know where the prince should stand.
The last time he was summoned to the temple, he was standing directly in the middle.
But no matter how stupid Chu Mo is, he also knows that this time the situation is different from last time, on the left and right, he must choose one side to stand.
If he chooses the wrong one, then he will be embarrassed.
Soon, the civil and military officials stood in two columns, the eldest prince Chu Sheng and the fourth prince Chu Yu stood on both sides respectively, and when they saw Chu Mo standing there, there was a trace of ridicule on the faces of the two people.
These two people are the two most important among the many princes of the Chu Emperor, and they are also the biggest threat to Chu Mo. With their identity, they can naturally also come to participate in the early dynasty.
It's just that, according to the information Chu Mo has, the eldest and fourth usually rarely participate in the early dynasty. I was all present today, presumably because I learned that he was also arranged by Emperor Chu to participate in the early dynasty, so I specially wanted to make him make a fool of himself.
Chu Mo stood there and hesitated for a while, and just as he was about to choose a side to stand casually, a person suddenly stood up next to him and whispered to him: "Your Highness's position is next to the eldest prince." ”
Chu Mo hurriedly turned around and took a look, only to find that the person who kindly reminded him had retreated to his position, but Chu Mo still recognized him.
He didn't expect that the person who kindly reminded him turned out to be An Zhiyu's father, and An Guo's public security is like a mountain.
It seems that this future father-in-law is still looking forward to his future son-in-law, Chu Mo secretly snickered in his heart.
Then, he took a big step and walked to Chu Sheng's side, not forgetting to snort at him.
It's just that Chu Sheng smiled at him slightly, and it was rare that he didn't say a word.
It didn't take long for Emperor Chu to sit on the high dragon chair with the support of two little eunuchs.
The civil and military officials below immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the Emperor of Chu.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Of course, only one person was surprised.
Emperor Chu swept his eyes, glanced at Chu Mo, and found that there were so many people present, but he was the only one who did not kneel.
After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Chu simply let him go, and shouted to the ministers: "The Qing family is exempt from courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone got up one after another, only to find that Chu Mo had been standing there and had not knelt down.
This move surprised all the civil and military officials present.
But Emperor Chu didn't say anything, even if they were shocked by Chu Mo's actions, no one dared to stand up at this moment and accuse Chu Mo of being disrespectful to Emperor Chu.
After all, Chu Mo has made a lot of contributions to raising disaster relief funds, and whoever accuses him now is undoubtedly asking for his own hardship.
The three people who accused him of damaging the royal face last time were almost forced by him to drink the wine, who else dares to make things difficult for Chu Mo at this moment?
"Today, which Qing family has something to play?" Emperor Chu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had already spoken majestically.
Suddenly, someone stood up and said something inconsequential.
Emperor Chu dealt with several small things in a row, and his face also showed a tired look, and Hong Sifeng, who was standing next to him, immediately shouted: "Everyone, if you have something to do, you have nothing to do, and you have nothing to ...... out."
Chu Mo glanced at it, and among the hundreds of civil and military officials present, no one stood up again.
Seeing that Hong Sifeng was about to shout the words "retreat from the dynasty", Chu Mo immediately stood up and said to Emperor Chu: "Father, the son has something to play!"
Emperor Chu nodded slightly, and asked with a smile, "What does the prince have to play?"
Chu Mo bowed slightly: "It's for the disaster relief in the Qingling two states, and now the imperial court has raised nearly four million taels of silver, but the disaster in the Qingling two states can't be delayed for a moment, and the son thinks that the father should immediately allocate the first batch of disaster relief funds to alleviate the disaster in the Qingling two states." ”
"Well, what the prince said is very true, and the disaster should not be delayed. Since the imperial court has raised funds for disaster relief, it should immediately send people to Qingling and Qingling Prefectures to cooperate with local officials to provide relief to the victims. ”
Emperor Chu said in a heavy tone, and shouted to the civil and military officials below: "Ladies and gentlemen, who is willing to go to Qingling and Qingling Prefectures for disaster relief?"
