Chen Ziyu cupped his hands towards Liu Jiangong, with a harmless smile on his face and said:
"Back to Mr. Liu, this thing is simple to make, and most people can master it with a little instruction!"
Liu Jian's face was filled with joy, his eyes were shining, he took a deep breath and said, "This is very good. If Captain Chen promotes this method, it will be a great achievement!"
After saying that, Liu Jian stood up and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to let Captain Chen take the lead in taking charge of this matter. I will definitely support you fully!"
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, he looked at Chen Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, what do you think?"
Chen Ziyu shook his head and said in the eyes of everyone's doubts: "Your Majesty, it is better to leave this matter to the Crown Prince to take the lead, and I will assist you from the side!"
Before Emperor Hongzhi could express his stance, Zhu Houzhao stood up impatiently and said, "Father, I will do my best to handle this matter!"
Emperor Hongzhi was a little worried about Zhu Houzhao, but seeing his expectant look on his face, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, this matter was of great importance.
When Chen Ziyu saw this, he immediately understood what Emperor Hongzhi was thinking, so he said:
"Your Majesty, although I told the prince how to grow greenhouses, the specific affairs are all led by the prince. Now there is a greenhouse in the Zhanshi Mansion!"
After hearing Chen Ziyu's proposal for the prince, Emperor Hongzhi made a decision in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then let the prince be responsible for this matter. The prince must not live up to my expectations!"
"Father, don't worry, my son will do his best!" Zhu Houzhao's chest clapped loudly!
Emperor Hongzhi was extremely generous to the ministers below, so the ministers were not very restrained and most of them chatted in pairs.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the entire banquet lasted for an hour and then came to an end.
According to the rules, after the banquet, the ministers all left the palace one after another. As for the princes, they were taken to Cining Palace by the eunuchs.
Waiting for the interview with Queen Mother Zhou, after all, they are all descendants of Queen Mother Zhou, some of whom have not been able to see each other for a year or even several years, so they take advantage of this rare opportunity to talk about their family life.
However, several cabinet ministers were retained and followed Emperor Hongzhi to Nuange.
Zhu Houzhao was sent by Emperor Hongzhi to follow the princes to Cining Palace.
After all, the prince is the first half of the master. It is reasonable for the prince to greet everyone if Emperor Hongzhi does not come forward!
Seeing that there was nothing to do and no one to take care of, Chen Ziyu was happy and free, so he prepared to sneak out of the palace and go back to his house to sleep in his cage.
But before he could move, he saw Xiao Jing walking towards him with a smile.
"Captain Chen, stay here. His Majesty invites you to go to Nuange to discuss important matters!"
"What does Your Majesty want from me?" A look of surprise appeared on Chen Ziyu's face. He was just a prince-in-law, so why did he always talk to me about important national affairs?
"My family doesn't know about this!" Xiao Jing covered his mouth and laughed, "Our family really envy Captain Chen, His Majesty holds you in high regard!"
Seeing Xiao Jing's appearance, Chen Ziyu felt goosebumps all over his body, and secretly cursed the eunuch in his heart!
Then he rubbed his arms and said expressionlessly: "Eunuch Xiao, please lead the way!"
...
Warm pavilion.
In addition to Liu Jian and Li Dongyang in the cabinet, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, and Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, are all here.
Chen Ziyu, who walked in behind Xiao Jing, saw this posture, and some Zhang Er monks were confused.
Sure enough, seeing Chen Ziyu appear, Emperor Hongzhi pointed to Jin Dun beside him with a smile, "Ziyu is here, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ziyu bowed respectfully and then stood up.
Li Dongyang nodded slightly and smiled at Chen Ziyu. Chen Ziyu quickly returned the salute and then sat aside.
"Ziyu, do you know why I asked you to come?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know!" Chen Ziyu shook his head.
He really didn't know what was going on, but he saw everyone else nodding at him, especially Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, whose old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile!
"Look! If all the people in the court are as proud as my son-in-law, why worry about the world being unstable!"
Emperor Hongzhi pointed at Chen Ziyu and showed off to the others with a smile on his face.
Ma Wensheng took a step forward and immediately raised his hands and said: "Thanks to Chen Duwei this time, if it weren't for Chen Duwei, the consequences of this would have been disastrous!"
Seeing everyone praising themselves, Chen Ziyu looked confused and didn't know what was going on?
Why did he achieve meritorious service when he obviously didn't do anything?
And it seems that this credit is also related to the Ministry of War!
Seeing Chen Ziyu's confused look, Li Dongyang smiled knowingly, stroking his beard and said:
"Captain Chen, thanks to the strategy you proposed last time, Milu, the chieftain of Guizhou, has been retreating steadily! I'm afraid it won't be long before the rebellion in Guizhou is about to be quelled!"
"ah!"
It was okay if Li Dongyang didn't say it. This statement made Chen Ziyu even more confused!
When did you mention any counter-insurgency strategy?
Why don't I have any impression at all?
"Your Majesty, I am scared. I have never proposed any counter-insurgency strategy. I am afraid that Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
Chen Ziyu immediately explained that this kind of merit was of no use to him. Besides, it would be great fun if Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers of the court mistakenly thought that he had any military talent!
Emperor Hongzhi said with a serious face: "Ziyu, being modest is a good thing, but excessive modesty is not what a gentleman should do!"
"..."
Chen Ziyu was speechless!
At this moment, Ma Wensheng took over the conversation and said with a smile:
"I guess Captain Chen has forgotten the counter-insurgency strategy proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince in Nuan Pavilion a few days ago?"
Hearing Ma Wensheng say this, Chen Ziyu suddenly realized!
It turns out that Zhu Houzhao’s words really came true! He truly deserves to be Emperor Wuzong!
"Do you remember Captain Chen?" Ma Wensheng saw this and continued:
"I and others have requested Your Majesty to order Wang Shi, the Minister of War in Nanjing and the Censor of the Left Deputy Capital, to take command and go to Guizhou, and follow the instructions of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Sure enough, as soon as Wang Shi arrived in Guizhou, he immediately built cities and strongholds to reduce the living space of the rebel Mi Lu and others. Now he has broken through more than 600 strongholds and wiped out more than 6,000 rebellious people! If he continues like this, he will be captured soon. Milu!”
Ma Wensheng is talking about spitting and dancing!
However, Chen Ziyu was even more confused. Since His Highness the Crown Prince proposed this matter, if you want to praise him, you must also praise the Crown Prince!
What do you call yourself proud of?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, since His Highness the Crown Prince raised this matter, I think the credit should go to the Crown Prince, what does it have to do with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else looked at Chen Ziyu with smiles, and their eyes showed appreciation!
After a long while, Emperor Hongzhi slowly opened his mouth and said: "Ziyu, although I am not a wise and sage king, I think I am not a fool! I know exactly who this counter-insurgency strategy came from!"
"Your Majesty, but..." Chen Ziyu was anxious and couldn't explain it clearly!
"It's nothing! The prince is my son. I know exactly what level he is! Don't think that I don't know. You taught the prince behind his back and said it through his mouth!"
Emperor Hongzhi paused at this, and then continued:
"Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't know right from wrong? Can't listen to other people's advice? So you use the prince's mouth to express your thoughts?"
"I tell you, your credit is your credit! No one can take it away! Not even the prince!"
"..."
