Chapter Eleven: Twenty Swordsmen

After Jiang Yan left the teahouse, he accelerated his foot and walked to a corner.

Immediately, several Jinyiwei in flying fish suits appeared and put on Jiang Yan's unique cloak.

One of the Jinyiwei reached out to take the food box from Jiang Yan, but was slapped open by Jiang Yan.

What a joke, this is the breakfast prepared by Mr. Zhu personally for His Majesty. How could he let his subordinates do it for him?

"Get on your horse and go back to the palace quickly."

With a command from Jiang Yan, the Jinyiwei took out several horses and immediately turned over.

"drive!"

Jiang Yan grabbed the horse rope with one hand and the food box with the other, and started rushing up on the street.

He wants to give His Majesty the food box in the shortest time.

There were already many people on the street. When they heard this loud shout, they looked up and moved away. Even the princes and nobles were the same, and they dared not say anything more.

The title of Jinyiwei was famous throughout the Ming Dynasty, especially some ministers, who were frightened when they saw it.

Just when Jiang Yan delivered breakfast to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Qin Wang Mansion.

"Your Highness, look, even a businessman has bullied me."

The charming woman said in a sweet voice to King Zhu Chuang of Qin.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I will send someone to teach him a lesson."

After King Zhu Chuang finished speaking, he asked the old housekeeper below: "Say, what is going on."

The old housekeeper hurriedly said: "Recently, there is a Ping'an Teahouse in Nanjing that has a very famous breakfast. However, when the old servant went to order, the shopkeeper over there said that there was not enough staff and could not send it to the mansion."

Zhu Ren scolded, "Then won't you send someone to get it?"

"this..."

The old butler looked up at Mrs. Deng, not daring to speak.

"Your Highness, all the houses are delivered to you in teahouses. When you arrive at your highness, you will send someone to get it. Where can you put your face?"

Deng said.

When Zhu Chuang heard this, he said, "The beloved concubine is very proud. Is it true that I can't afford it if I don't want to afford it?"

"Immediately dispatch the guards in the mansion to capture the owner of the teahouse for me. I want to see what I have eaten, and I dare to be so despised by me."

When the old butler heard this, his face was a little hesitant.

"You are still standing still, why don't you catch me quickly?" Zhu Ceng scolded the old butler.

"Your Highness, the reason why this Ping'an Teahouse is so prosperous is probably because Duke Liang. When the old servant heard the news, he said that the orders were made by those in the main mansions with Duke Liang."

The old housekeeper hurriedly explained.

When Zhu Chuang heard the word "Duke Liang", he suddenly stopped.

His situation is very bad now.

Although he was also the son of Empress Ma and the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty except Zhu Biao, he was not very popular with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Chuang was smart at a young age, Yan Yi was brave and handsome, and also had a good appearance.

After marrying Guanyinnu, the sister of King Baobao of Henan, the Yuan Dynasty, there was not much problem.

However, after marrying Deng, the daughter of Deng Yu, the King of Ninghe, he began to do many evil things, which was ridiculous.

Zhu Chuang favored the second concubine Deng, and placed the official concubine Wang under house arrest. Every day, he used bad utensils to fill some stale food and fruits for her to eat. In order to please Deng, he specially sent someone to the coastal governor to buy pearls and jade, causing the people's family to be destroyed.

In the Ming Dynasty system, the prince's official concubine could not be granted a concubine if she did not die.

When Empress Ma was alive, Zhu Ceng relied on her favor to win the title of concubine for Deng.

This girl Deng is extremely beautiful, but she is a scorpion-like heart. She has been spoiled since she was a child and does not know the sufferings of the world.

After being favored by Zhu Ceng, he became even more powerful.

Last year, in the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled Zhu Ci back to the capital on the grounds that he had too many mistakes, and ordered the crown prince Zhu Biao to arrive in Xi'an and inspect Guanshan.

Zhu Biao was also very caring for this younger brother and said a lot of good things about him.

Recently, Zhu Cheng has received rumors, and Zhu Yuanzhang is preparing to return to his fiefdom in the past few days.

Zhu Ceng didn't like to stay in the capital, and it was the most comfortable to dominate his fiefdom.

The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can care about it.

So after hearing about Liang Guo Duke Lan Yu, Zhu Ceng became a little afraid of Ping'an Teahouse. He was not sure what the owner of the teahouse had to do with Lan Yu.

"First send someone to find out the details of this teahouse. We finally had the opportunity to go back, and now we can't make any mistakes."

Zhu Chuang was obviously still a little rational at this moment.

"Your Highness, does a businessman make you afraid that you will be like this? You also know that Your Majesty hates merchants the most, so what if you kill him? Could it be that Your Majesty has not punished Your Majesty for a businessman?"

When Deng heard this, he felt unhappy and said to Zhu Chuang with a stimulating tone.

Zhu Ren was stimulated by this, and stood up and said, "The beloved concubine is right, and there is nothing to do with her. Today I will go to see what this Ping'an Teahouse is. I don't even give me the face."

Immediately, Zhu Ceng clicked twenty sword-bearing guards in the mansion, rode a tall horse and headed straight towards Ping'an Teahouse.

.........

In the imperial study room of the palace,

In addition to his somewhat depressed expression, Zhu Yuanzhang probably recovered almost.

I had some time, so I started to review the memorials.

His expression was still a little sad at this moment. It was obvious that Mu Ying's death had a great blow to him.

It won't be able to slow down in a few days.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was alone in the imperial study room, and there was no eunuch around him to serve him.

The eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty had no right, but just served the emperor and concubines in close proximity.

Zhu Yuanzhang, a civilian, had seen too many eunuchs interfering in policies and eventually destruction of the dynasty when he attacked the Yuan Dynasty. He also saw the consequences of eunuchs being in power. The Yuan Dynasty's destruction of eunuchs had indelible reasons.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang was absolutely not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the government during the dynasty.

Once the eunuchs were discovered to be interfering in the government affairs, they were immediately executed.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Yan's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Zhu Yuanzhang said casually without raising his head, and trusted Jiang Yan very much.

After Jiang Yan entered, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang reviewing the memorials and felt a little confused.

Normally, he can't disturb him at this time, but if the breakfast in this food box is waiting for a while, it will probably be cold.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yan said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu asked me to bring me a copy of early."

"oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was disturbed by the sudden sound, frowned a little, but after hearing Jiang Yan talk about Zhu An, he looked up.

I saw Jiang Yan holding a food box in his hand.

"Why are you still standing there? Take it for us quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang urged, and put down the memorial in his hand.

Jiang Yan felt relieved and quickly placed the food box in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Our eldest grandson is willing and knows to bring us breakfast."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile that he was obviously feeling much better when he heard the news about Dasun.

Jiang Yan knew that he had a bet right, so he watched Zhu Yuanzhang open the food box and said from the side;

"Your Majesty, this Hu La Soup and Crab Roast Soup was made by Mr. Zhu An personally cooked after I arrived at the teahouse."

"A lot of medicinal materials are added to the crab roe soup bun, which has the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the food box and smelled the familiar fragrance. He couldn't wait to pick up the Hu La Soup and took a big sip.

The familiar smell made him feel relaxed, especially the faint spicy taste, which was even more encouraging.

I picked up a soup bun and took it down with one bite. The faint medicinal flavor and crab roe perfectly blended together, and the taste was extremely special.

Feeling that Hu La Tang and soup dumplings were still warm, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew the distance from Ping'an Teahouse to the palace.

“Very good, well done.”

"Thank you, your Majesty, this is my duty."
