Chapter 66 Even two yuan

When Emperor Tianqi saw Zhu Cheng looking confused, he asked, "My minister advised me to make Ajian the King of Xin. Do you know what it means to be Xin Wang?"

"Didn't it mean that A Jian is unparalleled in integrity and is a role model in the world?"

"Of course not, do you know Shinju?"

"Did Your Majesty talk about Xinzhou Prefecture, located in Jiangxi Province?"

"No, but now Xinzhou Prefecture has been renamed Guangxin Prefecture in the third year of Hongwu. The minister suggested that Ajian be appointed King Xin, just to drive Ajian to Jiangxi. You are Ajian's friend, and if he leaves, you will naturally not stay in the court and will follow you."

"I don't want to be King Xin. I don't want to leave the school brother, nor do I want to leave Brother Cheng." Zhu Youjian rushed into the hall with tears in his eyes. When Zhu Youjian heard the conversation between the two outside the hall, he could no longer help and rushed in. He knew that Emperor Tianqi valued Zhu Cheng very much, and it was clear that he really needed Zhu Cheng's wisdom. If he was named King Xin and went to Xinzhou to become a king, he might have to leave Zhu Cheng. Although Zhu Cheng had a brotherhood with him, he had to let go for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here." Zhu Cheng patted Zhu Youjian, who was so angry that he was so angry that he was crying, and comforted him.

"What's your solution?"

"There is no way," Zhu Cheng smiled sly, pointed at Emperor Tianqi, and said, "But I have magic weapons."

Emperor Aoki and Zhu Youjian were both amused by him.

Emperor Tianqi pretended to be angry and said, "Bold Zhu Cheng, how dare he call me a magic weapon."

"The emperor holds the heavenly constitution, and the export is the law. The emperor is also the important treasure of the country and the most precious treasure in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty. So it is said that the emperor is a magic weapon, that's right."

Queen Zhang burst into laughter, and the farewell in the hall disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Youxiao said firmly: "A Jian, I will never agree with the minister's suggestion. The eldest prince's descendants are few, only us two brothers. If I don't take care of you, whoever takes care of you? Whoever wants to separate us is to be an enemy of me. A gentleman will take revenge for ten years. Watch it, I will make them want to die in an ecstasy and remember the wrath of the emperor in the next life."

Zhu Youjian was very smart, and both of them were smart people. However, Emperor Tianqi was proficient in human relationships and worldly ways. He used Wei Zhongxian as a knife to kill the Donglin Party members in the court, and he also ended the good temple name "Xi", known in history as Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian was brainwashed by the Donglin Party members with benevolence, righteousness and morality, and played with the Ming Dynasty. However, the glitz points he occasionally showed when dealing with the government showed that he was also a smart emperor. However, the emperor was smart, and his ministers were both stupid and had their own little abacus. The Ming Dynasty finally couldn't continue playing.

Hearing Emperor Tianqi say to settle the score in the future, Zhu Youjian asked weakly: "What should I do now?"

Emperor Aoki laughed and said, "I have an idea, please come and review it."

Empress Zhang, Zhu Youjian, Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Cheng surrounded him together.

"I agree with their opinions and confer Zhu Youjian as King Xin."

Zhu Youjian felt sobbing when he heard this.

"Don't cry, A Jian, listen to me. After the discussion on this matter, I asked Wei Zhongxian to report that the people of Changping County are honest and trustworthy, and suggested changing Changping to Xinzhou County. There is no Xinzhou in the Ming Dynasty, so there is no trouble in changing the name. If all officials agree, it will be fine. If all officials disagree, I am not in a hurry. If the people of Changping go to trouble them. In this way, if the officials suggest that A Jian go to Fan, A Jian's fief is in Xinzhou, then go to Xinzhou County. In this way, no matter whether it is Fan, A Jian is always in Beijing."

Zhu Youjian was a little confused: "How do the people in Changping know which officials do not agree to change their names?"

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "We have newspapers. The (Dibao) supplement is not a vegetarian. Brother Cheng, don't say that this (Dibao) supplement is really effective. Those officials dare not speak nonsense during court meetings, for fear of being caught, so they will be made public in the newspaper."

The five people finished their discussion and it was already time to hold the lights. Zhu Youjian suggested eating hot pot, and everyone agreed happily. The honeycomb coal and the stove were ready-made, so they set up the pot outside the hall and started eating.

In fact, it is not suitable for hot pot in midsummer, it is too hot. However, more than a dozen palace maids holding big fans to fan the crowd, which is still very cool. Zhu Cheng glanced at the palace maids who fanned them and sighed in his heart that it was still a feudal society, and there were beautiful women who fanned them, which was both elegant and comfortable. The palace maids didn't think so in their hearts. They were all sweating profusely and couldn't get elegant at all.

When he returned home, Zhu Cheng was probably chanted by Wei Honglian, for no reason, the coal stove given to Emperor Tianqi, which made him very upset.

Ke Qingqing did not return to her home opposite the children's playground, and on the pretext that she had joined the Jinyiwei, she took a group of medical staff to stay in the children's playground and refused to leave.

Zhu Cheng touched some pastries from the palace, wrapped them in paper, and put them in his arms. Emperor Tianqi saw it and did not make a sound. When he praised Zhu Cheng, he patted his chest with a "slap". When he turned around, a fox-stealed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Cheng took out the paper bag, opened it and handed it to Ke Qingqing, and said, "Qingqing, this is the osmanthus cake taken out of the palace... the powder is crushed by the dragon claws. You can try it, it has a unique flavor."

Zhu Cheng opened the paper bag and found that the osmanthus cake had been shattered by Emperor Tianqi, so he had to change his words with a wry smile.

Ke Qingqing had eaten pastries from the palace. Ke Baba liked this niece very much and often brought various pastries from the palace to her. But no matter which kind of pastries it was, it seemed that it was not as sweet as the pastries Zhu Cheng brought today. She ate the crushed osmanthus cake in big mouthfuls, and her eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

The moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkling a clear sunset, and the wind outside the window brings the fragrance of flowers. What a beautiful night.

------------------

Wei Honglian's nagging skills were so perfect that she was talking about the stove every day, and Zhu Cheng wanted to ride a yellow horse to Jingxi Huangzhuang to lift the stove directly.

Fortunately, two days later, Wu Huping came back and brought back ten stoves and a honeycomb coal maker.

Wei Honglian was overjoyed when he saw the honeycomb coal maker. In the past, he made honeycomb coal by hand, which was slow and not beautiful. This honeycomb coal maker would produce a honeycomb coal as long as he pressed it on the coal pile. Zhu Cheng was busy in the coal pile for a long time and made nearly a hundred honeycomb coals. The coal pile was made by Zhu Cheng who asked the craftsmen to mix coal powder and yellow mud in a certain proportion, which was most suitable for honeycomb coal.

"Mama Wei, you can't use the coal stove alone, so you can give it to anyone you like. But you can't lend it to others, so don't let others learn it. I have given the method of making honeycomb coal to Taikangbo. If it leaks out, it will be difficult to meet in the future."

"Okay, you are generous and give away everything." Wei Honglian complained, but nodded in her heart. Taikangbo, she knew that it was the queen's father. If she maintained a good relationship with the emperor and the queen, Zhu Cheng would have a very smooth career in his future.

While talking, there were gongs and drums outside the door and firecrackers were ringing. Zhu Cheng was angry. Who dared to make trouble at the entrance of the children's playground? Has he not been in the capital in the past few years, and everyone has forgotten the arrogant Jinyiwei Xiaobai House?

Wu Huping rushed in and said repeatedly: "Explanation, explanation, explanation..."

Zhu Cheng put down the honeycomb coal maker and said, "How many times have I said that for the generals, they should be well-educated and have the mentality of not changing their faces when they collapse. A small matter will become so turbulent. Report it again!"

Before Wu Huping could speak, a group of people rushed in and shouted, "Where is Duke Jie Yuan? Where is Duke Jie Yuan?"

Wu Hu pointed at Zhu Cheng with a tie.

The group rushed up and said to the leader: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhu, for being the first in the provincial examination, and will win three consecutive years in the future, and will shine the ancestors."

Zhu Cheng stood there for a while, Wu Huping pulled Zhu Cheng's sleeves: "Mr. Zhu, let's say a few words."

Zhu Cheng looked at the broken coals all over the ground and said, "You have broken my honeycomb coal..."

Wei Honglian knew what the person who reported the good news was looking for, and each of them sent a silver coin to send them away.

Zhu Cheng had no intention of making honeycomb coal, so he asked the guards to pile up the coal again. He took Wei Honglian, Zhu Youjian, Ke Qingqing and several confidant generals to celebrate with him. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cheng, Jie Yuan, and his first-time master, and became famous in the capital. The hotel refused to collect Yuan Gong’s money for wine, but just asked for a letter.

Zhu Cheng wrote a couplet: He was busy with fame and fortune, and took a break from his busy schedule, and drank a cup of tea; he worked hard, worked hard, and had fun in his hardships, and poured two pots of wine. Horizontal draft: Taste life. This is a couplet from later generations, which he borrowed.

The hotel owner was overjoyed. If you know that Yuan advertised for him, your business would be more prosperous in the future. And if Zhu Jieyuan won the first prize in Huiyuan and the top prize, this couplet would be even more valuable.

A few days later, Jie Yuan's excitement gradually faded, and Wei Honglian nagged every day that there was not enough honeycomb coal. I was idle, so Zhu Cheng got up early and made honeycomb coal with his shirtlessness.

Just when he was working hard, there was a chaotic situation outside the door, and the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums were heard. Zhu Cheng was shocked and shook his hands, and the honeycomb coal was not done well.

Zhu Cheng put down the honeycomb coal maker speechlessly and thought to himself: "Who is this? I'm trying to make me unable to make honeycomb coal."

A group of people rushed in and said in unison: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhu, the first in the provincial examination, and the new academic performance will be the first, and will win three consecutive years in the future, and will shine the ancestors."

Wei Honglian asked, "Didn't you report it a few days ago? Why are you here again today? Do you want to cheat the money more?"

The person came to the house said, "Grandma is so happy. The one I reported to Wen Jieyuan a few days ago, and this time it was Wu Jieyuan. Mr. Zhu, both civil and military, is the first civil and military practitioner in the Ming Dynasty?"

The visitor bowed to Zhu Cheng and said, "Don't Xinke Jie Yuan want to say something?"

Zhu Cheng pointed to the broken coals all over the ground and said, "You have broken my honeycomb coal again..."

The visitor said with a smile: "Don't care about these details. I understand the essence, and there is nothing."

Wei Honglian hurriedly took out the money to disperse the people who reported the good news and sent them away.

Zhu Cheng said: "Mom Wei, it seems that I can't make this honeycomb coal, I will break it once..."

Wei Honglian said: "It's okay if you can't do it. This is coal that brings you good luck. You are transporting honeycomb coal."

Isn’t it just to transport it through “coal”? Alas, no, why does this sound a bit wrong?

Zhu Cheng's "coal" transportation has not been completed yet, because Zhu Cheng was making honeycomb coal at the two good news reports, and he got a new nickname: "Coal Carbon Jieyuan".

Taikangbo Zhang Guoji was inspired by this and produced the "Xieyuan brand" honeycomb coal, which was sold well at home and abroad, and became the flagship product of the Ming Dynasty. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
