Chapter 75
75: Laojiu! You hide it so deeply. We were blind and saw the wrong person!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spit out fragrance, which surprised everyone!
Liu Zheng's eyes darkened and he almost fainted!
He reported everything truthfully and didn't hide anything?
Potatoes are grown, and the seeds for growing potatoes were also introduced from the Western Regions according to the King of Han Dynasty!
He only knew so much, and he told it all truthfully!
He is not Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue, father and son. How could he know that there are so many twists and turns behind this potato?
In addition, Zhu Yue would not be stupid enough to tell the origin of potatoes and claim that they came from foreign countries. He blocked everyone's mouths with one sentence.
But Zhu Yue made a mistake.
If Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have a system, maybe his mouth would be blocked!
But Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't believe him at all now!
"Father, please calm down!"
"This Liu Zheng is just a manager of the Han Dynasty's foreign government, how can he know so much? Don't get along with him!
Hearing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Calm down? Time is treating us as a fool, you want us to calm down?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious when he heard this.
When Liu Zheng heard this, he almost peed with fright!
Why did he treat the emperor as a fool?
What on earth did he say wrong?
"Father, if Lao Jiu were here, if you scolded him in person, I would not stop you. But after all, Liu Zheng is just a servant. If this news gets back to Hanzhong, what will Lao Jiu think?"
Zhu Biao reminded with a wry smile.
To put it simply, Liu Zheng suffered an unreasonable disaster.
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, there is nothing innocent. No matter what he does, he only looks at the purpose, and he can even do anything for the purpose. In the eyes of the emperor, apart from ordinary people, there is no one who is innocent or not, there is only the difference between those who should be killed and those who should not be killed! Even if you are innocent, you have to accept your fate!!
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention towards Liu Zheng was fleeting.
Zhu Biao's words also made him calm down from his anger, but it was easy to kill Liu Zheng.……
"Let me ask you again, besides potatoes, what else does Lao Jiu grow?"
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down for a moment, then stared at Liu Zheng and continued to ask.
"Back to the emperor, this villain really doesn’t know. The villain is only responsible for the transportation of goods in the Han Dynasty. He doesn’t care about farming! Liu
Zheng hurriedly explained with a sad face.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He knew that he couldn't get any useful information from such a little guy!
This Lao Jiu was definitely not possible either. Send a confidant to Yingtian Mansion to deliver the goods!
This guy is so smart!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang is in a very complicated mood! Every time he wants to come up with something, Lao Jiu always manages to do it before him. Why is this so embarrassing for him?
Lao Jiu is always one step ahead of me.
By the way, Lao Jiu must have obtained the system much earlier than me!
So Lao Jiu has already obtained things like potatoes long ago, that’s the only explanation! It's the most reasonable!
The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became! Lao Jiu had already had something like a system. Even Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't believe it if he didn't have any alienation!
The attractiveness of a young man in his twenties!
If he, Zhu Yuanzhang, had awakened to the system in his twenties, he must have felt that he was the chosen one. With the help of the system, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, might have become the emperor more than ten years earlier. It must be better than it is now, and the Ming Dynasty has already been in its true prosperity!
Will he still take these little Kami seriously?
This is the ambition and self-confidence that the system can bring to a person.!
It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have this magical thing until he was about to die, and he couldn't do much anymore, and he even felt powerless!
And what about Lao Jiu? He can still live to be a hundred years old!
With a lifespan of more than seventy years!
With this system, he can do a lot more! What he is eager to find out now is what kind of capabilities Lao Jiu's system has compared with his own system. What difference does it make, who is stronger or weaker?
If he is stronger, even if Lao Jiu awakens the system first, he can still find a way to suppress him! But what if Lao Jiu is even more powerful?
Jiu actually said that potatoes were introduced from the Western Regions!
Although he didn't lie to him directly, what was the difference between telling him through other people's mouths? This is what makes Zhu
Yuanzhang the most worried!
Even he, who is my father, dared to lie!
Okay!
Lao Jiu, you are so hidden!
We were really blind and got more and more angry! The feeling of having no way to vent my anger is even a little helpless!
"Why are you still kneeling? Why don't you retreat quickly?"
Zhu Biao winked at Liu Zheng at this time.
It would be better for this kid to disappear in front of his father as soon as possible. Otherwise, his father might kill him if he doesn't hold back, and things would really be in trouble.!
The person who killed Lao Jiu for no reason must be given an explanation!
"The villain resigns!"
Liu Zheng was so excited that he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang three times before quickly retreating!
Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally resisted the urge to kill Liu Zheng!
In He didn't think about how to deal with Lao Jiu, and he didn't want to make too much noise, so as not to irritate Lao Jiu and make the whole thing get out of hand! How difficult!
Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that he would have such a difficult time!
The one who is right is his own son!
Even if he wants to use tricks on Lao Jiu, he still has to think about the possible consequences!
Well, Ming Dynasty may fall into civil strife!
Third, what makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel most helpless is Zhu Biao's attitude.
An emperor must not be too kind!
Is Zhu Biao really kind ? But do you really think that a kind person can suppress so many vassal brothers? Not only Zhu Yuanzhang knows, but also the vassal kings such as King Yan Zhu Di know that behind Zhu Biao's kindness, there is also thunder.
Means!
As the eldest brother of all the princes, and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has absolute confidence and skill!
It is true that Zhu Biao is kind, but have you ever seen any brother who dares to act wild in front of him? He belongs to you as long as you don't touch him? He will let you be as arrogant as you want, but if you dare to violate his bottom line, he will destroy you with devastating methods, and will not even give you a chance to breathe.
He is also the most ruthless when he is ruthless, but this side does not show up at ordinary times!
He is the most merciful to all his brothers.
However, during all these years of supervising the country, Zhu Biao has occasionally shown harshness.
This method is enough to make all the vassal brothers fearful!
Who dares to say that their eldest brother is a bad person who only cares about family ties? If it were before, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be quite pleased with Zhu Biao's confidence.
But now, he is really happy.
It feels like Zhu Biao is overconfident!
With Lao Jiu in the system, even Zhu Yuanzhang feels like he is about to lose control.
No matter how clever your prince is, is there really a way to suppress him? The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it , the more he thinks.
The more irritated he became, the next few days, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unhappy, and he did not go to court for several days in a row!
But it would not be a problem if things continued like this.
After a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and started to work hard.
Go to court!
He also slowly figured it out.
Since the eldest brother, Prince Zhu Biao, doesn't want to be a villain, then let him, the father, be the villain!
Let's find a way to expose Lao Jiu.
Fang , let’s see what you, Prince Zhu Biao, have to say!
It’s been a few days.
The person who was responsible for delivering potatoes to the court is back, and he’s coming back quickly!

)
"Your Highness, Liu Zheng, the steward of the foreign government, is back, saying he has something urgent to see you!"
Qin Han came to the study room immediately and told Zhu Li about the situation.
"Let him in!"
Zhu Yue's mind moved. Could it be that the old man and the prince's eldest brother were quite satisfied with the potatoes and wanted to get more of them?
Soon, Liu Zheng entered the study and knelt down in front of Zhu Yue without saying a word.
"The villain Liu Zheng comes to see His Highness the King of Han!"
Liu Zheng's voice was still trembling. The strong mental pressure when facing Zhu Yuanzhang has not allowed him to calm down until now!
"what happened? Is the imperial court satisfied with the potatoes offered this time?"
Seeing that Liu Zheng was trembling all over, Zhu Yue became even more puzzled. He frowned and asked.
Liu Zheng stumbled and told everything about meeting Zhu Yuanzhang that day.
As soon as he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard that he had planted potatoes, and Zhu Yue was immediately dumbfounded!
What do you mean, planting potatoes caused trouble? Why did the old man get so angry for no reason
?
?
But listening, Zhu Li felt something was wrong!
Where did this potato come from?
This makes even more sense! I must have never seen a potato like this before. This kind of thing, let alone the Ming Dynasty, is not available in the Western Regions!
At this time, it is only available in the American continent! Is it possible that
Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that the amount of potatoes given by the king is too little?
It is also a new variety that has just been developed. He can barely grow it on hundreds of acres in Hanzhong.
Moreover, three days ago, he sent someone to deliver five bottles of fermented bean curd, and it is estimated that it will arrive in a week! Ying Tianfu!
Is his son's behavior considered filial?
What else is Zhu Yuanzhang dissatisfied with?
Look at the other vassal kings who are domineering in their own fiefdoms every day, even the outstanding King of Yan Zhu Di. He was often criticized for being self-reliant. Could there be a son who was more worry-free than him?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Li couldn't think of the reason why he had done something systematic. Zhu Yuanzhang knew it!
Even his pretending to be blind was not hidden from Lao Zhu!
"Okay, you go down first!"
Zhu Yue waved his hands with a headache.
Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He felt happy and somewhat baffled at the same time.
There is Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue, the king of Han Dynasty. Why are the tempers of the father and son so unpredictable? What?
Because of a potato, he was so frightened that no one else could!
"Qin Han, what do you mean by the old man?"
After Liu Zheng left, Zhu Li asked helplessly while rubbing his forehead.
"This... I can't explain it either! It feels a little weird!"
".Could it be that the old man knew something about your highness in Hanzhong? This doesn’t make sense!"
Qin and Han were also confused.
"Forget it, don’t think about it anymore!"
"Anyway, you are awakened to this and have been keeping an eye on the new faces of Hanzhong Mansion recently!"
Zhu Li sighed softly, and the next instructions were given.
Qin Han was shocked when he heard this.
What does it mean to keep an eye on the faces of Hanzhong Mansion?!
Did the old man really start to doubt the King of Han?
It was almost the end of the night. During meal time, Zhu Yue simply took Qin Han out of the study.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he was stunned by a smell that smelled... strange yet familiar!
The natural smell of barbecue!
This is the smell that could only be smelled when eating barbecue at a roadside stall!
At this moment, the memory deep in Zhu Li's soul was touched again!
"smell good!"
Qin Han on the side was also attracted by the smell of barbecue and couldn't help but praise him.
Zhu Yue didn't say anything and walked directly in the direction of the smell.
Soon, he saw the right person in the front yard. Zhou Shuyi was instructing the two maids to cook the barbecue.
After all, she had a big belly, so Zhou Shuyi definitely couldn't do it herself. Fortunately, the two maids were quick with their hands and feet, and many skewers were already cooked on the two charcoal grills!
"You are pregnant, how can you eat these?"
Zhu Li came to Zhou Shuyi dumbfounded.
"Who said I ate it myself? I originally thought that you were too busy during this period, so I wanted to treat you with some barbecue and beer. It seems that you don't like it. It's me who is too busy!"
When Zhou Shuyi heard this, she immediately snorted.
"So that’s it, the princess is interested! I would like to thank the princess in advance. Isn’t it okay that I wrongly blamed the princess?"
Zhu Li grinned. This classic combination of barbecue and beer is a temptation that even he can't refuse now!
"This is beer. I'm sure you haven't had it before."
Zhou Shuyi pointed to a whole box of beer standing aside and winked at Zhu Yue.
Zhu Yue immediately understood. He knew that Zhou Shuyi wanted him to find a way to explain the origin of this beer to Qin Han and others.
Such a thing, This has been going on in the palace for the past few months.
After all, whatever Zhou Shuyi took out was something they had never seen before in Qin and Han Dynasties. Although they in Qin and Han Dynasties would not ask too much about it, Zhu Li had to do it. Give a reasonable reason.
For example, Zhou Shuyi asked someone to send it from Yingtian Mansion, saying it was from Fanbang.
Anyway, he told the court that it was from Fanbang, and he said the same to his own people. Words.
The seasonings used by Zhou Shuyi for barbecue, including the beer, must be from later generations and definitely not available in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yue smelled it and found that the barbecue did have the same flavor as the barbecue stalls of later generations.
Ancient barbecue is also one of the staple foods of northerners, but at most it only requires a little salt. The seasonings are definitely not as rich as those in modern society, and some flavors can never be produced by roasting!
"Go and call a few other families here, and let them taste the barbecue and beer tonight. These are the condiments brought from Yingtian Mansion by the princess and the wine sent as tribute from foreign countries!"
Zhu Yue easily revealed the origin of the seasoning and beer with just one word!
Soon after, Qin Han, Geng Qing, Liu Shan and other generals from thousands of households all arrived at the scene, except for Yang Hui who was still on patrol. Besides, everything that should arrive has arrived!
"Let’s all have a taste of this barbecue. I’ll make an exception tonight and let you all drink a few bottles of beer!"
Zhu Yue gave the order directly.
Hearing this, Qin Han and other generals were even more happy. They were not polite to Zhu Yue and sat down one after another to cool down.
After entering the barbecue, everyone's eyes lit up and they were all excited at the same time. She glanced at Zhou Shuyi on the side with some surprise!
This was beef!
It had been less than a year since the Princess of Han had been married to Hanzhong. It seemed like she had already killed two cows, but they wouldn't say anything. They also have a share in eating together!
In ancient times, cattle were part of the labor force. Let alone killing cattle, even if the cattle were fattened, it would be a huge offense, and they would definitely get a beating!
But Zhu Li, the king of Han, wanted to eat it! Two mouthfuls of beef! ps: Please vote!!
