Chapter 156
"Uncle, you taught me a good emperor!"
"It's just that the teaching is great! Sangong pushes 36, Jiuqing pushes 72, and he has to plow every year!"
"Isn't this bullying the elderly?"
When Wang Guoguang came to attend the private banquet according to the order, he supported his waist and complained to Zhang Juzheng.
Then, Wang Guoguang looked at all kinds of novel dishes in front of him and said: "These dishes are all new food that the governor of Fujian found from foreigners under the order. They were originally for the people in coastal areas, and now your Majesty pays attention to them." Farmers increased their production, and put it on the royal banquet, which is called eating with the people, but, can these be considered delicacies? You know, I have always been picky eaters, and you are the same, right? "
Zhang Juzheng glanced at him sideways: "Let's take a seat later and taste it carefully. This is the emperor's favor and the sentiment of the people."
And speaking, Zhang Juzheng said to Wang Guoguang while the emperor Zhu Yijun was still in the future: "The emperor is only more serious about the matter of paying attention to agriculture and mulberry. Therefore, you don't have to worry that the emperor will be a pedantic king."
After Wang Guoguang heard this, he laughed: "That's good. I'm really worried that the emperor will think that the world can be ruled by only respecting the ritual, but I don't know that this ritual is just for others to see, not for myself to suffer."
"Your Majesty is here."
With the appearance of a few whips, and after Zhang Hong shouted loudly, Zhu Yijun appeared in front of the Sangong Jiuqing who was attending the banquet, and sat next to the imperial case that he owned alone, while facing Zhang Juzheng and others. laughed:
"Everyone is flat, and please take a seat!"
Zhang Juzheng and other ministers thanked him and entered the table.
At this time, Zhu Yijun said: "I have personally farmed today, so I know the hardships of farming. I believe that all my lovers have also experienced it; and because of this, I have to pay more attention to farming and mulberry. For this reason, I have decided to Not to mention the farming altar every year, it is also decided to promote new grains, so that the income from agricultural production will increase every year. Today's private banquet let the Shangshan Supervisor use the new high-yielding overseas grains as food. You and the others should taste a few, If you think it is good, you can recommend it to your relatives and friends, so that it can be promoted, and the farming affairs of this dynasty will be greatly promoted."
"I will obey your orders!"
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Guoguang and other ministers got up and answered, then sat back, and then picked up the chopsticks with difficulty like a plow rake, and after Zhang Juzheng took the lead in picking up the first chopstick dish, they all Then clamped up.
At the beginning, Jie still had a bit of embarrassment, as if the vegetables in front of him were all poison.
But it didn't take long before the cups and plates were empty.
When the meal was over, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng, "Sir, if there is anything you want to play recently, let's play it at this time."
Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and said yes, and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, there is one thing, that is, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Qing's family, wants to resign and beg for rest after a long illness. Enter the Crown Prince Taibao, forgive him for his hard work, and allow him to return home. In addition, Da Sikong has long intended to return to his hometown to recuperate his illness, and His Majesty knows it. Because the minister mentioned it to His Majesty, he also voted to allow him to return. Township."
"I know that he intends to return to his hometown to recuperate his illness, but I don't know what he means to resign."
Zhu Yijun replied at this time, and asked: "I heard that when Li Qing's family was in charge of Dongguan, they were quite clean. Is there such a thing?"
At this time, Zhang Juzheng replied: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true. The official residence was built, and neither the censor nor the six departments found any corruption in him."
"Since that's the case, it's better to keep such a clean and honest minister and let him continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry. I can rest assured that the Ministry of Industry is in charge of construction and river management. After all, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the construction and river management. Corruption is most likely to occur, and it is most necessary to be in charge of it. The ministers must be clean and honest."
Zhu Yijun said.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Zhang Siwei got up at this time and flattered him first, and said: "Mr. Li is especially famous for his incorruptibility as an official, and he is frugal and knows about construction projects. He should be retained and ordered to continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he should not be replaced easily; Da Sikong is less than three years old, how can he let it go lightly? As for the chronic illness, we can grant him the grace of exempting him from the imperial court, and let the imperial doctor treat him, and staying at home may be better than looking for an imperial doctor in Beijing."
"The ministers also think that Mr. Li should be kept in the Ministry of Industry."
At this time, the other ministers looked at each other, and they all supported Li Youzi's retention as Minister of the Ministry of Industry with one voice.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "In that case, then please revise the proposal, sir, and add the crown prince and Taibao, but the resignation is not allowed. We only grant him the grace of the early court, and let him recuperate his old illness in Beijing."
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly said that he obeyed the order.
Then, Zhu Yijun discussed several other matters with Zhang Juzheng and other ministers, and it was not until the second watch that the monarch and ministers broke up and left.
But when he was leaving, Wang Guoguang walked towards Zhang Juzheng holding his waist and holding his stomach, and said in pain: "Uncle, the new food prepared for this banquet given by the Son of Heaven is poisonous!"
Zhang Juzheng was surprised after hearing this: "Why do you say that?"
Wang Guoguang said: "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts like a twist!"
Zhang Juzheng was surprised when he heard this: "No, His Majesty ate it too!"
Fang Fengshi, Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shixing, etc. who were also here were also shocked, thinking that no one would dare to tamper with the imperial banquet, right?
But Zhang Juzheng stopped Zhu Yijun who was about to return to Qianqing Palace, and informed Zhu Yijun of the matter.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Sir, don't worry, I'm fine now, if something happens, I will send someone to inform you."
Zhang Juzheng said: "Your Majesty, even though this is the case, I would like to ask for an order to first control the people in the Shangshan Supervisor. In addition, I invite the people who are in charge of rituals and Fang Shumi to accompany you! And pass Li Shizhen into the palace."
"That's right."
Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng: "By the way, sir, remember to ask Mr. Wang Ge if he ate too much just now. I have been observing Zhuqing at the banquet just now. Among the three gongs and nine qings, he is the only one who eats." There are the most peppers, followed by Zhang Gelao."
"The minister obeys the order!"
Zhang Juzheng replied, then hurriedly walked back, and began to give orders.
The people in the Shangshan Supervisor were naturally very frightened, crying and saying that they were wronged.
And Zhang Juzheng, Fang Fengshi and other ministers were also very nervous.
After returning to the official residence and going to the toilet, Wang Guoguang suddenly felt that nothing happened, and because he learned that Zhang Juzheng had asked for an order to serve him, he hurriedly re-entered the palace and asked to see the emperor.
Not long after, Zhu Yijun announced to see him, and seeing him walking in energetically, he asked, "Wang Aiqing, are you alright?"
Wang Guoguang replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I am fine."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking: "So, the new food is not poisonous?"
Wang Guoguang thought about it for a while and said, "I think it's not poisonous. Your Majesty, now I don't feel any discomfort, and even my back pain is gone."
Zhu Yijun asked again at this time: "Wang Qing's family, originally I wanted my husband to ask you, or I should ask you personally, did you eat the most peppers at the banquet just now?"
Wang Guoguang suddenly realized: "Return to Your Majesty, I am indeed greedy."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "I just said that there is no possibility of any poison. Because I have a spleen deficiency, I haven't tasted this thing, so there is no such thing. And because my husband and Fang Qing's family eat less pepper, So it's okay, as long as you and Zhang Qing's family eat a lot, that must be the case."
As he said that, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Go to Zhang Qing's house and have a look. If he is fine, it means that the so-called poisoning is nothing but nonsense, and it also means that the new food is also non-toxic. Just don't overdose the pepper. Then Just let everyone go."
"According to the order!"
……
"Ouch!"
"Your Majesty is so ruthless that he would come up with such a vicious method to poison us ministers to death!"
"It's just that I'm not an accomplice! Now that I'm poisoned, wouldn't it be unfair!"
When Zhang Siwei returned home clutching his stomach, he began to slander.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Jiu, Zhang Siwei's slave, hurriedly supported him: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Go get the doctor!"
"In addition, call the clerk and prepare to write a letter to Mr. Xu, telling him that the emperor wants to kill Zhang Dang with poison! I am afraid that my life will be lost! Tell him to show it to me as soon as I finish writing it. Tone!"
"Go! Leave me alone!"
Zhang Siwei retreated after speaking, and then went to the hut by himself.
After a while, Zhang Siwei returned to the study refreshed.
At this time, the clerk in his mansion also gave him the written letter for him to read.
Zhang Siwei burned it without even looking at it, and ordered: "Tell me what I say, from now on, the open space in our official residence will be planted with peppers and sweet potatoes cultivated by the inner court! Also write a letter to my family and set aside five thousand acres Peppers and sweet potatoes are grown in the land for future trade."
