"Young Master Zhou, it's been several days since you came to the capital. Your Majesty originally planned to summon you the next day after you entered the capital, but when you heard that your Majesty brought two artillery from Folang Jiren, your Majesty was very interested.

Therefore, he took people outside the city to watch. As a result, he became very interested in two cannons when he went there. He spent several days eating and living in the military camp outside the city, so he failed to call the young master to meet him in time."

Da Yong sat down in the living room and explained to Zhou Chong. At the end of the day, he also smiled bitterly on his face.

Zhou Chong was also worried about this matter. After all, he had been in the capital for several days, but there was no news from Emperor Zhengde, which made him a little anxious, and even worried that Emperor Zhengde would not want to see him. If this was the case, it was true.

In other words, not only did I promised Ashikaga Ichikki not to be done, but he didn't do any of his own things, which would directly disrupt his entire plan. Unexpectedly, Gu Dae-yong came to tell himself today that Emperor Zhengde actually made the case for

I ran out of the city with the cannons I sent. I was not in the city these days, so I naturally couldn't summon myself.

After seeing this, Zhou Chong couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. He brought two Flanger cannons from Shuangyu Port thousands of miles away. However, when entering the capital, weapons like cannons were absolutely impossible to bring in.

Even if Wu Shan and other Jinyiwei lead the way, it would not be possible. Otherwise, if someone discovers, they might be charged with a crime of ill-conspiracy. So when they entered the capital, two cannons were sent by Wu Shan to the Shenji Camp outside the city.

It was temporarily released in the training ground. Unexpectedly, Zhengde ran over to himself after hearing the news. He played for several days and even forgot about summoning himself.

In fact, it’s also a bit of Zhou Chong. In later generations, whether it is official or unofficial history, there are records of Zhengde’s fun and martial arts. The firearm sent by Zhou Chong is a weapon of war, or it can be regarded as a special toy for adults.

This undoubtedly has a fatal attraction to Zhu Houzhao.

"Eunuch Gu, since Your Majesty is not in the capital, I wonder when we will be summoned?" Zhou Chong asked at this time. In addition to Ashikaga Ichikki's affairs, he also had several important things to meet Zhu Houzhao. For example, next year

The battle for Malacca, so he is now anxious to see Emperor Zhengde.

Seeing Zhou Chong's anxious look, Gu Dayong smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Zhou, don't be anxious. In fact, Your Majesty secretly left the palace this time. Except for us close ministers, others don't know that I am also staying in the palace.

The emperor is concealed by His Majesty, but today I just received the oral order from His Majesty, asking me to take the young master to the military camp outside the city tomorrow afternoon, where His Majesty will meet the young master there. If you have anything to do, you can talk to His Majesty directly!”

After hearing Gu Dayong say this, Zhou Chong breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was secretly complaining about Emperor Zhengde's distractedness. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually secretly ran out of the palace. How could this look like an emperor doing?

But it is not surprising to think about it. Emperor Zhengde rarely attends court now. The government affairs in the court are managed by Li Dongyang's cabinet ministers and eunuchs led by Zhang Yong. So even if Emperor Zhengde does not show up for a few days, there will be no

People doubt.

After talking about the main business, Zhou Chong and Gu Dayong began to chat. Zhou Chong was very interested in what he had done, so he asked Gu Dayong for some questions. Gu Dayong also answered everything, as long as it was

He told Zhou Chong everything he knew.

In addition, Gu Dayong seemed to be particularly concerned about Zhou Chong's affairs. He used the chat to inquire about Zhou Chong's private affairs, such as how many wives and concubines there are around him, whether he has children, etc. When Zhou Chong told the other party that his wife was pregnant, he said that his wife was pregnant.

Gu Dayong seemed very happy and said he would introduce several imperial doctors to Zhou Chong, and would also give his children a big gift in the future.

Gu Dayong originally planned to take advantage of the first meeting to manage his relationship with Zhou Chong, so he was so cruel when dealing with Zhang Rui before, and even offended Zhang Yong. Therefore, during the conversation, he performed very much with Zhou Chong.

Friendly. Zhou Chong had just offended Zhang Rui, and he might even have a bad relationship with the powerful Zhang Yong because of this. Therefore, if he could make good friends with Gu Dayong now, it would only benefit him but not harm him.

When it was almost noon, Zhou Chong asked someone to prepare a banquet, and he also specially ordered chef Sanniang to use sea steak noodles as seasoning to make some specialties, but also dried sea steak brought from Weihaiwei. After the water was used,

Stir with leeks, although it is not as delicious as fresh sea sausage, it is also a rare delicacy.

Speaking of which, Gu Dayong has eaten all kinds of delicacies in the palace and is very picky about food. Ordinary dishes cannot be eaten by him at all, but after he tasted the food made by Sanniang, he immediately felt it.

It’s different. The umami flavor brought by the sea steak is so unique that even the most ordinary dish can make you feel extremely delicious.

At first Gu Dayong thought it was just a dish, but when he tasted all the dishes on the table, he found that these dishes were more delicious, especially the ordinary shredded bean soup, which cut the tofu.

It looks like a hair, not only with great skill in knife skills, but also has a very delicious taste. Although Gu Dayong's imperial chef can cut the tofu so thin, it is absolutely impossible to make it so delicious.

Zhou Chong was quite happy to see Gu Dayong so satisfied with the food he prepared. After all, if he could have a good relationship with the eunuch closest to Emperor Zhengde, no matter what he did in the future, it would be much more convenient.

After lunch, Gu Dayong got up and said goodbye because there was something to be done in the palace. However, Zhou Chong took it from his servants too early and asked someone to prepare a wooden box and said, "Today, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu personally."

I came to inform Zhou, which really made Zhou very grateful. This small gift is not respectable, so I hope that the father-in-law Gu will accept it!"

Seeing Zhou Chong giving him a gift, Gu Dayong quickly refused: "Young Master Zhou is so polite. The Sa family is just acting on the order of Your Majesty. How can you accept such a tribute to your son?"

Zhou Chong smiled when he heard this, "My father-in-law misunderstood. In fact, this is not a heavy gift. It's just a specialty called MSG collected by Caomin on the beach. My father-in-law should have felt that the food was particularly

It is actually not just because the chef at home has superb cooking skills, but because she put a little box of MSG in a box when cooking, which immediately made the food delicious. I just saw that I just liked it, so I just put it on

This item is given as a gift to my father-in-law, I hope my father-in-law will not dislike you!"

Gu Dayong was very surprised to hear that Zhou Chong gave him so special. He no longer refused. He took the box and opened it and looked at it. He found that there were two porcelain bottles in the box, and the porcelain bottle contained a kind of radiant.

The powder with a unique taste must be the MSG that makes the meal particularly delicious.

Next, Zhou Chong told Gu Dayong about the usage of these sea steak noodles. Gu Dayong was very happy after hearing this. He accepted the gift and said goodbye again. Zhou Chong also personally sent the other party out of the mansion and watched the other party sit down.

After getting on the carriage, he returned to the mansion with a smile on his face, preparing to meet Zhengde tomorrow afternoon.

However, just as Gu Dayong got on the carriage, the originally warm smile slowly disappeared. He saw that he was holding the gift from Zhou Chong in his hand, and he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Although this young master Zhou is smart,

But he is still a little bit worse in his behavior. As a family member, he only gave him such a box of MSG. Although this thing is quite strange, how can he compare with real money and silver to make people excited?”

The Ming Dynasty court bribed the whole country, and the eunuchs in the palace were even more so. They had no desire for men and women, and loved gold and silver more than ordinary people. Therefore, almost all the eunuchs in the palace were greedy for money, and Gu Dayong was naturally no exception.

He thought he had come to inform Zhou Chong in person and made friends deliberately. Although he was not meant to be greedy for Zhou Chong's little property, but for the sake of convention, Zhou Chong must have prepared a generous gift for him, but he didn't expect that in the end it was just

Giving him a box of MSG is obviously not as attractive as real money and silver in Gu Dayong's opinion.

Gu Dayong, sitting in the carriage, sighed at Zhou Chong's stinginess, but he was also very interested in MSG. After all, for eunuchs, after they had no desire for men and women, they were particularly strong for other ***, such as the one who said just now

The money he has lived, and the desire to talk and so on.

Thinking of the deliciousness of the food today, Gu Dayong couldn't help but open the box in his hand, then took out two bottles of MSG to play with it, and at the same time considered whether he wanted to give one of the bottles to Zhang Yong to make up for the two of them because of the handling of Zhang.

A crack caused by something sharp?

However, just as Gu Dayong picked up the two porcelain bottles, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, because he found that there was a layer of exquisite white silk under the two porcelain bottles. It was nothing, but this layer of white silk was actually on it.

Two holes were broken. The two holes were pressed by the bottle before, so I didn't see them. But now when the porcelain bottle is picked up, it is immediately revealed. And through these two holes in the silk, you can see that it seems that there is still a place below.

Hold on to something else.

Seeing this, Gu Dayong was surprised. He put the two bottles aside and then pulled the silk below, but found that there were two stacks of brand new silver notes under the silk. When Gu Dayong put the silver notes

I took it out and counted it, and then I showed a shocked expression. These silver notes were 5,000 taels per piece, each stack of ten pieces, and two stacks were 100,000 taels of silver.

Gu Dayong was shocked when he saw these silver notes. You should know that these silver notes were not valuable treasure notes issued by the Ming Dynasty, but were silver notes issued by money houses opened by private enterprises, which could be fully exchanged for silver.

Zhou Chong took out 100,000 taels of silver as a gift as soon as he made a move. This is rare in the capital. Even Gu Dayong couldn't help but feel a little moved. Others said that smuggling business is profitable. He didn't believe it at first, but today he finally did.
