Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cheng entered the palace at the same time, but Zhu Cheng went to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to debate with the Lords, while Zhu Youjian went to the palace to visit Concubine Li Zhuang who raised him since childhood.

Emperor Tianqi held a banquet to entertain his two younger brothers. Concubine Li Zhuang was fine and came to accompany him.

At the banquet, Zhu Youjian clearly explained how Zhu Cheng pretended to be a Hongmei thief and how he robbed the lords. Zhu Youjian was very talented in acting, with a loud voice, detailed and appropriate speech, and he said it ups and downs. When Emperor Tianqi was heard, Concubine Li was sweating all over his palms.

Concubine Li Zhuang took Zhu Youjian's hand and said, "Jian'er, it's a pain for you. Otherwise, you can go back to the capital and live in the palace, safe and comfortable."

Zhu Youjian said: "Mother Mother doesn't have to worry about me. Brother Youcheng is protecting me, so there will be no problem."

Emperor Tianqi sincerely exclaimed: "Brother Cheng, you are really good. If I encounter such a thing, I really don't know what to do. However, if the son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall, you don't need to take such a risk."

Zhu Cheng said: "It's okay. Now I'm just dealing with a few dogs guarding the house. In the future, I will help the emperor fight the wolf that invades the country."

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid my brother is reluctant to leave me."

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the prince could not lead troops to fight, and could not participate in politics and make decisions. Therefore, if Zhu Cheng wanted to lead troops to fight, he had to be transferred from the royal palace.

Zhu Youjian said: "I won't be reluctant to let it go. I want to fight with Brother Cheng and keep the emperor's kingdom as a stern as an iron barrel."

Emperor Tianqi heard Zhu Youjian’s sincere and innocent words and couldn’t help laughing and said, “Okay, I will follow you. I will let you be the first prince to lead troops in the Ming Dynasty in the future and guard the family for me.”

The wine was half-full of course Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian were still drinking honey water. Emperor Tianqi said: "When I invited you to the palace just now, I said that I have something to do. I wonder if Brother Cheng can give me an idea."

Zhu Cheng didn't dare to take over the big things, but just nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you said, I'm listening."

Emperor Tianqi said: "I have checked the inner treasury recently and there are not much money. But there are many places in the palace that need money, especially if I have a wedding next year. Can Brother Cheng think of some ways to make me earn some money?"

Zhu Cheng thought about it carefully and said, "I have three strategies: the best, middle and lower. The worst strategy can make the emperor make some small money, but it will not help the country. The middle strategy can make money slowly, but it can unite the people's hearts; the worst strategy can make money slower, and at the beginning, it will even lose money, but when the money comes, it will be more beneficial to the country."

Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed and said, "I thought it would be great if you came up with a plan, but I didn't expect that there were three strategies for the top, middle and lower. Brother Cheng is really the rebirth of Kongming."

Zhu Youjian said with admiration: "Brother Cheng, you are really good."

Zhu Chengjun's face turned slightly red and said, "Don't praise me, I will be proud. However, today's words are very important, and no one here can reveal a slightest."

After hearing this, the eunuch and palace maid who was accompanying him took the initiative to go out to avoid suspicion.

Concubine Li Zhuang also stood up and said, "The Ai family is a little tired, so I'll go back to the palace to rest."

Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cheng hurriedly stood up and saw him off.

Wei Zhongxian was about to go out to avoid suspicion, but Zhu Cheng called him: "Eunuch Wei, when you go out, ask the guards to surround the palace, and no one is allowed to get within ten steps. After the arrangement is made, you come in again, and these things will depend on you to do."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was so moved that tears almost shed. It was his own family. He told him all such confidential matters, and this grandson was not in vain.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Parent Wei, don't behave like a child, hurry up and make arrangements. I can't wait to listen to Brother Cheng's three strategies."

Wei Zhongxian hurried out, and a sound of his screaming came from a while. Emperor Tianqi laughed and scolded: "This old guy, sometimes when I say a word casually, he will be moved to tears, which is really unbearable."

Although Emperor Tianqi was scolding, Zhu Cheng heard the extremely favored from his tone and said, "Eunuch Wei has followed the emperor since he was a child, regarding the emperor as his heaven, and is very loyal to you. Although Eunuch Wei is a little greedy, he is very talented. It is so lucky to have this inner minister."

Zhu Youjian seemed to have different opinions, but he held back and didn't say it out.

After a while, Wei Zhongxian came in panting and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this palace has been guarded like an iron bucket. Not to mention people, even flies cannot fly into one."

Zhu Cheng said: "Let me first talk about the worst. The emperor's carpentry skills are the best in the world, and this wealth comes from the emperor's carpentry work."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes lit up, and his skills were unbearable, and he said, "Oh, can my skills be sold for money?"

Zhu Cheng said: "You can, but you can't."

Emperor Aoki said, "What does this mean?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I said yes, because the carpentry work done by the emperor is very exquisite and is the best in the world. But it cannot be that the emperor takes a long time and sells it expensive, buys few people, makes little money, and sells it cheaply, that's a loss."

Emperor Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Your dear is right, but I am reluctant to do a carpenter work casually and fool people."

Zhu Cheng said: "Don't the emperor have a general to serve as a supervisor? Just let them do it. I'm so idle lately that I thought of a new seat and bedding. If it is made, it should be a big deal."

Emperor Aoki said happily: "Speak out and listen."

Zhu Cheng looked around, and Wei Zhongxian asked, "What are Lord Zhu looking for?"

Zhu Cheng said: "Iron Wire is a wire-like thing made of iron."

Wei Zhongxian said: "This thing is rare... By the way, there are some over there, I'll get one."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly ran out, then hurriedly ran back, holding a wire in his hand.

Zhu Cheng wrapped the iron wire around the chopsticks and took out the chopsticks, and the iron wire turned into a spring.

Zhu Cheng said: "This is the spring, but I made it casually. Your Majesty can make the silver game a short and consistent. Your Majesty, you pinch the spring."

Emperor Aoki pinched the spring, and when he let go, the spring returned to its original state.

Zhu Cheng said: "Put the spring in a chair. The chair is soft and hard, and the cushion on the cushion is comfortable. I call this kind of chair Anton chair. Put the spring in a mattress, which is warm and soft. I call this kind of mattress a beautiful dream mat."

As he said that, Zhu Cheng picked up a pen and drew the design drawings on the paper.

Wei Zhongxian picked up the drawings, blew the black water dry, and said, "Young Master Zhu is so good at writing in the style of the Pavilion."

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian held the drawings in both hands and presented them to Emperor Aoki.

Emperor Tianqi unfolded the drawings, looked at them for a few times, then slapped the table and said, "What a exquisite design. Brother Cheng praised me as the best carpenter in the world. I see that your carpenter is the best in the world. Until now, I haven't figured out the secret of the big turntable in the children's playground you designed, but don't tell me, I must think it out by myself."

Zhu Youjian whispered: "Brother Cheng, is it good to do this? Will the Emperor's brother lose his ambition?"

Zhu Cheng said: "A Jian, one is relaxed and one is the way of civil and military affairs. Can't the emperor have any interest in hobbies? Stop to walk a longer road; rest to work better."

Zhu Youjian nodded.

Emperor Tianqi had a sharp ear. When he heard Zhu Youjian's words, he smiled and said, "Brother Jian, have you heard someone give me a nickname and call me the carpenter Emperor? Don't believe what they said, I did all the work I did after the dynasty. Remember, those who are the king cannot do everything themselves, and only by pursuing the big and letting go of the small can one manage the good side."

Zhu Cheng was shocked. The Emperor of Heaven and Historical Records seemed to be different from that of history. It seemed that after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it poured dirty water on the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
