    The consequences of crowding were serious. The talented eunuch Liu Ruoyu, who was both civil and military, was pushed forward a few steps by the people behind him. He accidentally tripped over the threshold and poured a basin of water in his hand forward, towards Zhu Youcheng.  "It was too late to say it, but soon, Zhu Youcheng made a 180-degree turn, turned back, and protected Princess Huaining in his arms.  With a "swish" sound, Zhu Youcheng could bear all the water in the basin alone.  Without caring about shaking off the water on her body, Zhu Youcheng checked Princess Huaining first.  Fortunately, Zhu Youcheng turned around in time, and the little princess didn't even get a drop of water on her body.  Princess Huaining didn't know what was going on yet, she just thought it was very interesting that her godfather was taking her around, so she couldn't help but clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Godfather, one more, one more." Zhu Youcheng put Princess Huaining down,  After wiping the water on his head, he felt a strange smell coming to his nose, and couldn't help but ask: "Eunuch Liu, what kind of water is this, and why is it so smelly?" Liu Ruoyu knew that he had caused a catastrophic disaster, so he trembled and said  : "Washfoot-washing water" It turns out that Liu Ruoyu has sweaty feet. He is on duty in the palace on weekdays. He is afraid that the smelly feet will offend the nobles in the harem, so he washes his feet twice a day, once at noon and once in the afternoon.  Rushing back to Beijing today, Liu Ruoyu started washing his feet as soon as he put down his luggage.  Halfway through washing my feet, I heard that there was a fire in the emperor's palace. I picked up the footbath and rushed to put out the fire.  As a result, the fire could not be saved, and Zhu Youcheng's feet were poured with water.  Emperor Tianqi had just recovered from his shock and shouted sternly: "You are so bold Liu Ruoyu, how dare you sneak attack Brother Cheng. Someone, drag this madman out and beat him to death with sticks." Liu Ruoyu fell to his knees with a plop and shouted: "Your Majesty  Spare your life, Your Majesty." Emperor Tianqi was still angry and ignored Liu Ruoyu's plea for mercy. ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Absolutely not, Liu Ruoyu should not mess with two people who must not be messed with: one is Princess Huaining, a seedling in a thousand hectares of land, the only daughter of Emperor Tianqi at present, the emperor's darling; the other is Zhu Youcheng.  Excellent in both civil and military affairs, and loyal, he was a loyal minister and close brother of Emperor Tianqi.  Liu Ruoyu was so blessed that he thought of Zhu Youcheng.  "I think it is rumored that although Zhu Youcheng must retaliate for his hatred, he still has a lot of support for his relatives and friends.  Liu Ruoyu traveled thousands of miles to bring a secret message to Zhu Youcheng, this kind of friendship.  Zhu Youcheng must be rewarded.  Please beg him, maybe there will be a turning point.  So, Liu Ruoyu shouted to Zhu Youcheng: "Master Zhu, this servant is only worried about the safety of the emperor, so he rushes to the front. It was an unintentional mistake to splash water on you. Master Zhu, please intercede for me and spare the little dog."  "My life." Zhu Youcheng glanced at Liu Ruoyu. Although he was angry that he poured sewage on him, he also knew his loyalty to Emperor Tianqi. He held back his anger and said to Emperor Tianqi: "Liu Ruoyu has behaved badly before me. Even if I die, I will never redeem him."  It's a crime, but because of his loyalty, let's spare him his life." Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhu Youcheng in surprise and sighed: "You are such a bad person. I wonder where you got your good temper.  It¡¯s strange that you, a bad guy, are merciless in killing rebels. You are ruthless in Liaodong and also in the southwest. You are kind and cruel at the same time. You are really contradictory.¡± Zhu Youcheng ignored Emperor Tianqi¡¯s sigh.  Anyone who is covered in foot-washing water probably has no intention of joking.  He said to Emperor Tianqi in frustration: "Your Majesty, look at me" Emperor Tianqi's eyes flashed.  Xuan Ji said nonchalantly: "Just go to the hall and get my clothes to wear. Anyway, I am about the same figure as you." Zhu Youcheng was about to agree.  Suddenly he remembered something and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no matter how brave I am, I don't dare to wear your clothes. Your clothes are all embroidered with five-clawed golden dragons. If you wear them, it is transgression. Even if the emperor does not pursue it, all officials will  I won't let it go, and it will be another lawsuit. I'd better not cause trouble to the emperor and myself." Emperor Tianqi's eyes softened and said, "It doesn't matter, there is still my white dragon fish suit in there.  There is nothing on the clothes at that time, and the color is not offensive, so you can wear it, he is a brother anyway." After saying that, Emperor Tianqi called an eunuch and asked him to lead Zhu Youcheng to take a bath and change clothes.  The guard escorting Liu Ruoyu was a little upset. Should the prisoner be released or not?  Normally, if the emperor gave the order, he would be pushed out and beaten to death.  But as soon as Zhu Youcheng begged for mercy, the guards did not dare to move.  Because Zhu Youcheng's status in the emperor's heart is obvious to all, and it cannot be said that he is completely obedient, but he can at least listen to ninety-nine opinions out of a hundred.  The guards coughed hard, and Emperor Tianqi finally noticed them and asked impatiently: "Why are you still here?"It was almost an order, "Why are you still here?" It could be heard that the speaker was a little impatient. The emperor probably blamed them for not executing the order as soon as possible.  The guards thought they had correctly guessed the holy intention, so they continued their previous actions, dragging Liu Ruoyu out, causing him to scream like a slaughtered pig.  Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Brother Cheng, didn't you say let him go? Why don't you let him go?" Liu Ruoyu managed to escape with his life, and knelt on the ground to thank Emperor Tianqi for his magnanimity.  Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said: "Zhu Youcheng is the one who is magnanimous. If you are really grateful, go and thank him later." Besides, Zhu Youcheng asked the eunuch to prepare a large bucket of warm water. He washed and washed and soaked again in the bucket. He felt that  The smell of sour and stinky feet still lingers.  In the end, he had no choice but to get out of the bucket and put on the clothes of Emperor Tianqi.  Fortunately, the clothes fit perfectly, and Zhu Youcheng finally felt better.  Coming out of the main hall, Zhu Youcheng saw that the bonfire had been extinguished and the ashes were scattered everywhere. Where were the sweet potatoes inside?  After searching for a while, I only found the sweet potato skins discarded aside.  It seems that there is no hope for sweet potatoes. Fortunately, there is still potato and beef stew.  Zhu Youcheng walked to the pot and took a look at the pot. It was clean. Not to mention the potatoes and beef stew, there was not even any soup left.  ??Looking at Emperor Tianqi, Xin and Wang brothers again, their bellies are protruding.  Not to mention these two, even Princess Huaining has a bulging belly.  It seems that these three people are full of food.  Zhu Youcheng sighed and said: "As expected, he is a disciple of the church, and the master starved to death. I handed over the secret recipe for potato stewed beef, but not only did I not get a piece of beef, I didn't even take a bite of potato skins" Emperor Tianqi and Brother Xinwang  A little embarrassed, he laughed.  Zhu Youcheng looked at the remaining sweet potatoes and potatoes in the basket, and felt a sense of narrow-mindedness in his heart. He said, "By the way, how can we have such a wonderful thing for ourselves? None of the Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Princess, etc. have ever eaten this kind of food."  Why don¡¯t you invite them over and share this together? Potatoes are a good thing. In addition to potato stew, I also know several other ways to make potatoes.  Potato pancakes, mashed potatoes, braised potatoes with vinegar, potatoes and roasted meat, are all delicious. The method of making sweet potatoes is a bit less, but add flour to the sweet potatoes to make sweet potato pancakes and fry them in oil. The taste is amazing.  Tsk, my mouth is watering just thinking about it." Emperor Tianqi and Brother Xin were salivating again, and couldn't help but regret eating too much just now.  What Zhu Youcheng said was indeed right. You can't get carried away when you are so proud.  Look, I just ate too much potato stew and beef. My stomach was full and I couldn¡¯t eat any delicious food.  Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and asked: "Brother Cheng, did you do it on purpose?" Zhu Youcheng shook his head, put on an awkward posture and said: "Yes, Wei Chen did it on purpose. Who asked the three of you to eat everything?  Why don't you leave some for your little brother?" Just as the Emperor was about to say something, he suddenly felt his stomach growl and fart, making his face turn red.  Zhu Youcheng pinched his nose and stayed away, and said: "Your Majesty, I forgot to remind you that potatoes and sweet potatoes are good things, but eating too much makes it easier to ventilate. In layman's terms, you just like to fart." Sure enough,  , the three foodies began to fart in unison, creating a symphony of farts.  Emperor Tianqi said: "With such immortal energy, how can you forget brother Cheng?" With that, Emperor Tianqi chased after Zhu Youcheng.  If farts had color, Emperor Tianqi would be chasing Zhu Youcheng dragging a thick black smoke.  To be continued
