I was afraid that Xiao Shangzi wouldn't give me the money, so I gave a few special instructions.
"This slave obeys your orders."
Xiao Shangzi jumped off the carriage, came to the stall, selected five perilla cakes, and quickly returned to the carriage.
"Your Majesty, I bought it back."
Xiao Shangzi handed the cake from the carriage curtain and said.
Chongzhen, who was sitting inside, looked at the suzi cake in Xiao Shangzi's hand. He didn't say anything, but opened the curtain and looked at Xiao Shangzi.
"Your Majesty, this slave deserves death. He forgot that someone must test the poison before Your Majesty eats."
Feeling that no one was taking the suzi cake, Xiao Shangzi turned to look at Chongzhen and found that the other party was staring at him. Xiao Shangzi then remembered and quickly took a bite and said.
"Eat some of the others too."
Emperors in the past dynasties have been poisoned to death. Now the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. Especially when Xiao Shangzi was discovered by himself just now, he was afraid that the other party would poison him, so he signaled to the other party to eat everyone.
"Um."
Xiao Shangzi knew that once the seeds of doubt were planted, it would be difficult to get rid of them. Eat them all quickly.
Because the suzi cake was so choked, I finally swallowed it.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the suzi cake, Chongzhen picked one up with two fingers, put it just a little in his mouth, took a sip and tasted the taste, then directly opened the curtain on one side of the carriage and spit it out.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this cake?"
Xiao Shangzi finally swallowed the suzi cake in his mouth, and when he heard that Chongzhen had vomited, he asked him in confusion.
"It's not bad, but I don't like it."
Chongzhen threw the remaining Suzi cakes directly outside the carriage. Noticing that Chongzhen had thrown away everything, Xiao Shangzi felt that no one seemed to believe the current emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei headquarters has arrived."
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Shangzi looked at the gate of Jinyiwei and said to Chongzhen.
He jumped off the carriage and took out the stool and placed it in front of the carriage. Chongzhen walked down.
"Is your commander here?"
Xiao Shangzi glanced at Chongzhen from the corner of his eye, stepped forward and asked the Jin Yiwei at the door.
"Here, I'll call the commander right away."
"No need, I can just go in."
This was a surprise attack, and I was quite satisfied to see everyone in high spirits. I didn't expect that Zhu Si knew how to manage the Jinyi Guards, and I chose him as the commander in my heart. It was a wise move.
Then the Jin Yiwei station at the door returned to his position.
Chongzhen nodded and strode into Jinyiwei's headquarters. He saw that everyone was busy and there was no slack at all. When he saw himself coming, he didn't stop too much at all.
Watching this scene, Chongzhen was not angry because of this, but felt happy. If all the officials in the Ming Dynasty under his governance were like Jin Yiwei, the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty would be possible.
Xiao Shangzi stood aside and did not have such lofty ideals as Chongzhen.
"Where is your commander?"
Chongzhen stood there for a long time and found that Zhu Si did not come out to greet him at all, so he quickly stopped a Jin Yiwei and asked.
"Your Majesty, our commander is in the archives, so I won't take you there. I have to seal this up."
The Jin Yiwei who was stopped looked up and saw the emperor holding him. He quickly knelt on the ground, pointed to the room next to him and said.
"Okay, go get busy."
Chongzhen looked at the Jin Yiwei in front of him. Although he didn't respect himself a little, he patted his shoulder for the sake of Ming Dynasty and didn't say anything else.
He looked at the case file library, walked to the door, opened the door and walked in.
"His Majesty!"
Jin Yiwei, who was looking for documents in the case file library, saw the emperor coming in and quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Zhu Si, who was rummaging around, heard the emperor's arrival and quickly turned his head and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, if Zhu Si didn't go out to greet him, he deserves death. Please punish him!"
"Okay, what's the point of punishing you? It's too late for me to reward you."
In the past, Chongzhen was more prejudiced against Zhu Si than Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen, but he didn't expect that even if he wasn't watching, the entire Jinyiwei would be prosperous. He quickly stepped forward to help Zhu Si up and said with a smile.
Chongzhen looked at Zhu Si and the Jin Yiwei who were just in order, and he was also very happy.
"Your Majesty, it's really a mess here. Let's go to the lobby."
Zhu Si wanted to ask the emperor to sit down, but found that the chair was already piled with volumes. He scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
He brought the emperor and Xiao Shangzi to the lobby, asked the people below to bring them two cups of tea, and handed them to the emperor and Xiao Shangzi respectfully.
Chongzhen and the two were also a little thirsty. When Xiao Shangzi came, he had eaten a few perilla cakes. His mouth was already dry. He anxiously took the tea cup and drank it directly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered In the mouth.
"puff!"
Xiao Shangzi vomited it out, then realized that he had lost his composure and looked at the emperor beside him.
Chongzhen just took a sip and showed bitterness on his face.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Shang, who asked you to bring this tea? Hurry up and make the tea!"
Zhu Si looked at the emperor and Eunuch Shang and angrily scolded his subordinates who came over with teacups.
"As commanded."
The men quickly left the lobby again.
"Zhu Si, why is this tea made like this? It's so bitter and hard to swallow!"
Chongzhen put the tea on the table, wiped his mouth with a silk scarf, and asked Zhu Si doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, we drank this tea. I didn't expect that the people below took it by mistake."
Zhu Si scratched his head in embarrassment and Chongzhen said in embarrassment.
"Why are you drinking this?"
Chongzhen didn't understand that even if ordinary people drank tea, they wouldn't make it so strong.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. We Jin Yiwei also need to patrol the city at night. Strong tea will not only make us thirsty, but also make us energetic at night. We usually drink this."
Zhu Si knelt on the ground and explained the secret to the emperor.
"Okay, this method is good. Xiao Shangzi, please remember it and let them learn from it when they go to the East and West factories later."
Hearing that Zhu Si's idea was good, Chongzhen smiled and explained to Xiao Shangzi.
Xiao Shangzi, who was standing aside, nodded. He originally thought he could take a good sip of water, but he didn't expect it to taste so bad. Zhu Si can really show it.
"Your Majesty, here comes the tea."
The tea was re-made and served again. Xiao Shangzi first tested the poison with a silver needle. After finding that there was no problem, he served it to Chongzhen.
He picked up another cup and was smarter this time. Instead of drinking it in one gulp, he took a small sip and found that it was a good Pu'er, and then drank it. I smoothed my breasts and felt much better.
"Xiao Shangzi!"
"The slave is here!"
