In Chenghua Palace, a banquet was placed in the living room outside the little carpenter's bedroom.

There were four large plates of cold dishes on the round table. The little carpenter greeted Gao Shixin, Xu Xianchun and others sat down. King Xin and Princess Le'an sat on both sides of the little carpenter. The eunuchs and palace maids came in and out like butterflies, and plates of delicious dishes were served on the table.

The dishes are all dishes that looked very ordinary in later generations, such as chicken, duck, fish and meat, and they are not as delicious as imagined on the table.

In fact, the dishes that Emperor Wanli invited the court ministers outside. According to the size of his official position, the banquet table was divided into four grades: serving table, on the middle table, on the middle table, and down table. Of course, the dishes on each table were also different. The dishes served were "tea food like raw small flowers, fruits, fried five kinds, phoenix chicken, double stick bones, large silver ingots and big oil cakes, according to the five types of wine, four colors of dishes, three kinds of soup, two large steamed buns, horse, cattle, sheep, meat rice, and five minutes of wine.

The royal family of the Ming Dynasty did not use the luxury of making a table full of delicacies like the Qing Dynasty. They were all ordinary dishes, but the scale was huge and the palace was full of more than 1,200 tables.

In contrast, the dishes at the banquet for the Royal Grandson to host Gao Shixin and Xu Xianchun are much more advanced, including Beijing roast duck, braised beef, squirrel mandarin fish, braised elbow, roasted lamb legs, sea cucumber soup, etc.

There were laws in the Ming Dynasty that no cattle could be killed casually, but there were cattle traded by the Mongols in the capital. Except for strong cattle that were sold to the people as plowing ox, the weak old cattle were of course slaughtered.

But even if the small banquet of the crown prince is higher, it is not as good as the Qing emperor. Therefore, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is much happier than the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty delicacies every day, and he can go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy the mountains and rivers from time to time. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so hard that he could not go to the south of the Yangtze River. Under normal circumstances, he could not even go out of the palace gate. How could he be as free as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty? Even if the thief army was about to come to the city, the emperor wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to hide from the thieves, but he was stopped.

Thinking of the poor emperor who was stopped by someone and could not go to Jiangnan, so he could only go to Coal Mountain to find a crooked tree, Gao Shixin couldn't help but look at King Xin sitting diagonally opposite him. It is said that there was another saying on the Internet in later generations that after King Xin died, he was reincarnated as Gong Chang, but he still failed.

The little carpenter spoke, "Gaobaihu, you are wrong. You should call Gao Qianhu. Grandpa Huang has already named you Qianhu. Do you know why Grandpa Huang summoned you back to Beijing and standby?"

Gao Shixin shook his head: "The Emperor's Crown, I am so stupid, I hope the Emperor's Crown will make it clear."

The little carpenter smiled and said, "I heard from Yongwazi that the pirates in Fujian and Guangdong are all rich and can match the country. Didn't the emperor worry about money all day long? I thought of a way to recruit all the pirates and let them help the emperor make money. I just don't know how much you know about the pirates in Gao Qianhu?"

Gao Shixin shook his head blankly, stood up quickly, and bowed deeply: "Please forgive me for your crimes, I don't understand."

The little carpenter hurriedly said, "Gao Qianhu, please sit down! What's the crime if you don't understand? After all, you have never been there. But it's okay, Grandpa Huang said he needed a Jinyiwei who is both wise and brave to recruit them. You are the most suitable candidate."

Gao Shixin quickly knelt on one knee and bowed, "Please rest assured, Grand Prince! I will definitely do this!"

"Get up quickly and sit down and have a meal. Although Yongwazi and I are masters and servants, they are just like brothers. You are his elder brother, so we are brothers too!" the little carpenter greeted happily.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the little carpenter's small banquet was not over yet. Gao Shixin looked outside and it was a little dark. He asked anxiously: "I wonder when Your Majesty will call us to meet the saint?"

The little carpenter smiled and said, "No, no, no, Grandpa Emperor is hosting all officials, and it is not over so soon. We have enough food and drink. I'm still waiting for you to come back from Grandpa Emperor and set off fireworks together tonight."

The imperial grandson's own small banquet, the dishes made Gao Shixin quite satisfied, but the only drawback was that there was no strong wine. Gao Shixin in his previous life was a drunkard, and he especially liked strong wine. After all, the imperial grandson was young, and King Xin and Princess Le'an were even younger, so there were only very light fruit wine on the table, as well as some old wines, all of which were low-alcohol wines.

During the banquet, the little carpenter asked Gao Shixin about some situations in Liaodong with interest.

Gao Shixin answered truthfully, and finally added: "Please rest assured, as long as Xiong Jinglei is in charge of Liaodong, Jiannu will not be able to make a fuss! But I heard from Xiong Jinglei that he had a bad relationship with the officials in the court, and many people have impeached him, and they are eager to pull him off from the position of Liaodong Jinglei. Fortunately, Your Majesty will withstand the pressure. Otherwise, Xiong Jinglei will be strong and will be in danger of his country's destruction in the Ming Dynasty!"

"No way?" the little carpenter was shocked, "It's that serious? My Ming Dynasty is so powerful, and I have only built a slave, but only tens of thousands of people. How can I shake the Ming Dynasty with my millions of people!"

"It is definitely impossible to shake the Ming Dynasty by relying solely on Jiannu! But if some officials in the court destroyed the Great Wall and some secretly colluded with Jiannu, it would be hard to say! If there is a major disaster and the court cannot provide timely disaster relief, triggering civil rebellion, and the growing Jiannu will take the opportunity to attack our Ming Dynasty again, it will be really dangerous!" Gao Shixin said.

The little carpenter lowered his head: "Gao Qianhu, Yongwazi once said these words to me, and I thought it was an alarmist statement. Today, I realized that it was really possible after hearing what you said! No! I can't let the country left by my ancestors be ruined in the hands of those traitors!"

Gao Shixin said: "Actually, after all, it is all about the disagreement of ministers in the court, and there is also the problem of silver. I am willing to help you solve the problem of silver. I am confident that I will recruit them and take down Yizhou and hand it over to the Ming Dynasty!"

"But I heard that there were Red-haired Yi occupying Yizhou? Is there any way for Gao Qianhu to seize Yizhou?" asked the little carpenter.

"There is a way. Whether it is Yan Siqi or Zheng Zhilong, they are actually capable of defeating Hongmao Yi!" Gao Shixin replied. Since Zhang Yong and the little carpenter wanted to recruit pirates entrenched in Fujian, they had to go. He was just worried that who would protect Xiong Tingbi's safety during his time in Liaodong and the capital?

According to the information in his mind, we can know that when Emperor Wanli died, Xiong Tingbi was driven out of Liaodong by the Donglin Party, and then the people of the Donglin Party went to rule Liaodong. As a result, the great situation created by Xiong Tingbi was destroyed again, and even Liaoyang and Shenyang were lost. The power of the Later Jin Dynasty quickly expanded to the Liaohe Plain.

Later, the little carpenter had no choice but to let Xiong Tingbi return to Liaodong. However, under this situation, Xiong Tingbi returned to Liaodong was useless. What's more, Xiong Tingbi returned to Liaodong had almost no soldiers, only 5,000 people, and all the military power fell into Wang Huazhen's hands. In Guangning's defeat, Wang Huazhen defeated all the troops in his hands, and Xiong Tingbi was imprisoned...

However, when he saw Zhang Yong sitting on his right hand, Gao Shixin felt relieved again: Don’t worry, with Zhang Yong, he is smart and can definitely protect the old bear!

Thinking of this, Gao Shixin said: "Crown Prince, Yongwazi, maybe I will go south to Fujian after receiving the order. I hope you two will take care of the Liaodong matters. As long as you remember one thing, no matter what, you must protect the old bear! If something happens to the old bear, the Ming Dynasty will be really dangerous!"

Zhang Yong was secretly surprised: My elder brother seems to be a god? Is he a time traveler like me?

In fact, Zhang Yong has been suspicious of this matter for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to ask. It is really difficult to talk about such things. If it is not, he may become an evil heretic. Needless to say, he will know the consequences of the heretic, and he will be burned to death.

After the banquet, the little carpenter was interested and chatted with Gao Shixin, Zhang Yong and others for a long time, until a little eunuch came outside to report: "Your Majesty summoned Gao Qianhu!"
