Not long after, the guests arrived. In addition to the empress dowager, empress dowager, and emperor Tianqi's empress and concubines, Wei Zhongxian was also present. I don't know whether he didn't want to see Zhu Youcheng or for some other reason. Wei Zhongxian used the excuse that the army had entered the city, there were many people watching the ceremony, the public security was worrying, and he needed capable people to be in charge of Dongchang, so he did not accompany Emperor Tianqi to meet Zhu Youcheng in the palace, but brought a group of people with him. I helped the little eunuch go to the East Factory. However, after Emperor Tianqi discovered that potatoes and sweet potatoes were delicacies, he ordered the old eunuch to be called into the palace to taste the delicacies together. It seems that Emperor Tianqi has an unusual fondness for this eunuch who accompanied him when he grew up. The protagonists of this banquet are potatoes and sweet potatoes. Under the guidance of Zhu Youcheng, the royal chefs made potatoes and sweet potatoes into various delicacies and served them to the table in a smooth flow. Emperor Tianqi and King Xin could only swallow dryly when they looked at the delicious food. No one dared to stop them. What stopped them was their stomachs, which were already filled to the brim with potato and beef stew and could not hold anything else. The most disgusting thing is Zhu Youcheng. He knew that Emperor Tianqi and King Xin couldn't eat it, but he insisted on sitting next to Emperor Tianqi and King Xin to eat. Just eat it, smack your lips as hard as you can, and say from time to time: "It tastes great." That look is enough for a villain to succeed. Zhu Youcheng looked like he was in need of a beating. If he wasn't the No. 7 scholar in martial arts, maybe Emperor Tianqi and King Xin would really knock him down and give him a good beating. ¡°Alas, Emperor Tianqi is the king of a country no matter what, but he was bullied like this by Zhu Youcheng. It is really sad. This new type of food is so wonderful and delicious that they attracted everyone's attention, and no one noticed anything strange about Emperor Apocalypse and King Xin. They just focused on the food, and the food on the table disappeared like wind and clouds. After three rounds of drinking. After finishing the meal, Emperor Tianqi suddenly remembered the interrupted topic and asked quietly: "Brother Cheng, you haven't said yet why you recommended me the credit for countering the rebellion." Zhu Youcheng also whispered: "The so-called snake has no head. No, people without a master will be in chaos. The more difficult the conditions are, the more everyone hopes that the Ming Lord will appear to lead everyone through the difficult times. Wei Chen wants everyone to know that the Emperor is the Ming Lord of the world. When people have hope, they have the courage to fight against disasters." Emperor Tianqi nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian, who looked gloomy, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Cheng, are you having trouble with Wei Banban? His recent behavior is very strange. It turns out that someone is impeaching you, and Wei Banban is always jumping up and down. . More angry than impeaching himself; but if someone impeaches you these days, Wei Banban starts to pretend to be deaf and dumb. " Zhu Youcheng sighed: "Actually, it's nothing, maybe Wei Eunuch is in a bad mood recently. People have joys and sorrows, and it's hard to tell about their moods. Let him leave it to him. " Emperor Tianqi glanced at Zhu Youcheng and said, "Brother Cheng, don't hide it from me. But don't tell me. Worry, I am different from Emperor Shizongsu and Emperor Shenzongxian. I am not worried about the friendship between the cabinet ministers and the inner court, because you are my younger brother, and Wei Banban is my confidant. We will benefit from your cooperation and can help me. Take control of the court and revive the glory of the Ming Dynasty; but if you attack each other, it will not only affect the efficiency of the government's operation, but also make it easy for outsiders to take advantage of it, and then the great situation that I and you have created will be in vain. Brother Cheng, I know you never like to bow your head. For my sake, please make peace with Wei Banban. The things on the carriage are considered to be my gifts and you can transfer them to Wei Banban. . It¡¯s not strange to give gifts to many people. Wei Banban is greedy. Although I may not reconcile with you if I accept your gift, at least I won¡¯t embarrass you for a while. Then I will mediate and you can reconcile. "By the way, you brought me a cart of gifts. What's in it?" "Snake wine. There are many snakes in Guizhou, and it is said that making medicinal wine with snakes can cure diseases. If you are not sick, you can keep fit, so I made some and dedicated them to the emperor." After hearing that snake wine can cure illnesses and keep fit, Emperor Tianqi became interested and asked a little shyly: "I I'm a little energetic tonight. Will drinking snake wine have any effect?" Zhu Youcheng thought for a while and decided to make up a white lie, because he knew that many such things were caused by psychological factors. He pretended to be mysterious and said: "Who knows who uses it? I won't tell ordinary people." Emperor Tianqi laughed loudly and said: "Then unload half of the gifts on the carriage. Wei Banban has nothing to do with it. No matter how much snakes you drink, Wine has no effect either." Queen Zhang Yan saw the sky.The emperor smiled happily and asked: "The emperor and Master Zhu are talking so happily. What are they talking about? Can you tell me?" Emperor Tianqi was in high spirits and said: "This is something that cannot be said. It¡¯s a secret. Anyway, I¡¯m in a very happy mood today, so I¡¯ll invite you to come and sleep with me.¡± Queen Zhang Yan was overjoyed, and the concubines couldn¡¯t help but look at her with envy and jealousy. Recently, Emperor Tianqi's health has not been very good, and his energy is not as good as before. He has not called his concubines to sleep with him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became interested today, but only called the queen's name. Zhu Youcheng snapped his fingers, and a guard came over. Zhu Youcheng whispered a few words, and the guard understood it, and immediately led a few people to quietly move a lot of snake wine from the car and put it into Emperor Tianqi's palace. The meal lasted until the red sun set in the west, and everyone's interest waned. King Xin and Zhu Youcheng left the palace. At the gate of the palace, they found guests Qingqing and Ma Yunniang waiting there. King Xin couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here? Is there anything urgent?" Ma Yunniang blushed and said: "It's not urgent. I just wanted to ask, did the emperor agree to Brother Cheng's last memorial?" The memorial that Ma Yunniang was talking about was Zhu Youcheng's request to the emperor to grant a marriage so that Ke Qingqing and Ma Yunniang could enjoy equal rights as wives. King Xin was secretly happy in his heart, but pretended to be disappointed on his face and said: "The emperor was furious and said Taking a wife before the battle is a serious crime and should be dealt with under military law" Ma Yunniang said anxiously, "How can it be considered taking a wife before the battle? Taking a wife before the battle refers to capturing the enemy's female general as his wife. But I am not the enemy's female general. She is the daughter of Lord Zhu Xieyuan's general. "That's what I said, but the emperor is determined to take his wife before the battle." Ma Yunniang burst into tears. King Xin sighed, seeming to have infinite sympathy for Ma Yunniang. However, he then changed his tone and said: "The emperor is kind. He said that Brother Cheng has done so much that he can take a wife before the battle. The emperor will issue an imperial decree granting marriage in a while. But don't be complacent yet, the emperor has said it After three years, I¡¯ll let you taste what it¡¯s like to see but not eat.¡± Ma Yunniang¡¯s tears haven¡¯t dried yet. She really didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard King Xin¡¯s last words. Ke Qingqing laughed, held Ma Yunniang's hand, and said: "Sister Yunniang, now we finally have news, we can go shopping. Let's go, I will take you to see rouge and gouache first" With that, Ke Qingqing Then he took Ma Yunniang away. Before leaving, Ke Qingqing told Zhu Youcheng that she would arrange Ma Yunniang's accommodation and he didn't need to worry about it. Seeing the two girls being so affectionate, King Xin couldn't help but said: "Brother Cheng, it seems that you have really found a treasure. The two ladies live in harmony. I really envy others." Zhu Youcheng was so happy that his eyes turned into crescents, and his mouth But he kept being polite. "However, happiness is always very short-lived, and soon Zhu Youcheng couldn't be happy anymore. Because Emperor Tianqi never ordered the construction of Prince Xin's Mansion, Prince Xin had been living in the Children's Paradise in Beijing. Zhu Youcheng was afraid that his murderous aura would disturb the children playing in the Children's Paradise, so he insisted on returning to Zhu's Mansion, so brothers Zhu Youcheng and Prince Xin The two parted at an intersection. Walking on the way home, the sound of horse hooves and the rolling wheels almost shook Zhu Youcheng to sleep. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves stopped, and a man blocked the way of the carriage. A man who looked like a servant raised his hands and said: "Master Zhu, Mr. Factory Master has invited you." Mr. Factory Master is Wei Zhongxian, because he is now the Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and supervises the East Factory, so others call him Factory Master. Zhu Youcheng sighed softly, it was finally time to solve the problem he had been avoiding. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
