The last time something happened about framed Longpao, Zhu Ju didn't avoid it, which gave Zhu Bai a headache.
But thinking about it, Zhu Rui was really pitiful. He had nowhere else to go, so he could only turn a blind eye.
Zhu Bai replied to Lao Zhu: "He said he was too bored. Come over and find something to do. I asked him to plant something in the backyard."
He definitely couldn't tell the truth that it was the women in Zhu's family who kept quiet, otherwise someone else would be in trouble and Zhu Zhu would not be able to please him.
Besides, if Lao Zhu wanted to know, there was no need to go through him.
Lao Zhu sighed: "Sometimes we can't understand what your fifth brother is thinking."
Zhu Bai: "He said that he would find all the grass and trees that could be used as food, so that if there was a famine in the future, the people would be able to save themselves. I think it's good."
Lao Zhu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "This is indeed good."
His deepest memory of childhood is hunger and cold.
He had eaten a lot of wild vegetables and fruits. He would eat anything when he was hungry, as long as it could fill his stomach.
If someone had told him in advance which one he could eat and which one would cause stomachache, he would have suffered less pain at that time.
The corners of his eyes were sour, and he murmured again: "I didn't expect Lao Wu to have such thoughts."
Zhu Bai said: "My son also thinks it is very good, so I promised him that when it is finished, I will help him publish it."
It’s best to say hello to Lao Zhu in advance about this matter.
After all, written things cannot just be printed.
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay, okay. This is good."
Zhu Biao said hurriedly: "My son also thinks it's good. After the book is printed, I plan to give some to the Ministry of Household Affairs and let them distribute it to various places."
Lao Zhu nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, keep the world in mind and the people in mind, only then can you sit firmly on the dragon throne."
Lao Zhu also specially rewarded Zhu Xi with two hundred taels of silver, saying that it was for writing the book, and called him to the imperial study room to encourage him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lao Zhu is a little partial to this silly son. He is afraid that he will spend all his money on growing herbs and writing books, which will hurt him.
However, it is human nature for parents to love the child the least.
Zhu Ju shed tears to express his gratitude, and then came out of the palace and went to Guanyin Village.
In his opinion, Guanyin Village is far safer than home.
When he found out that someone had framed "Dragon Robe", Zhu Bai was afraid of leaking the news, so he asked Zhu Rui and the others to temporarily block access to the backyard and locked him up for two days.
Although everyone feels inconvenienced, there is nothing they can do.
Zhu Rui was very happy. He didn't have to go home and could study his flowers and plants all day long.
On the contrary, Zhu Bai was very worried that Zhu Rui would live in the backyard of Guanya Bureau from now on.
So after Lao Zhu killed someone and silenced him, the first thing Zhu Bai did when he came out of the palace was to let Zhu Zhu go home.
Zhu Rui was still reluctant to leave.
-----
On New Year's Eve, Zhu Bai asked the inn to prepare free meals for the princes, saying it was the care of the emperor and the prince.
Hu Weiyong went to the inn with snacks and other things to express his condolences.
Go to Inn No. 1 first.
All the shopkeepers of the "Juren Inn" were Zhu Bai's agents transferred from the Guanya Bureau. They were used to the wind and rain and big shots, and they blocked Hu Weiyong from the door without mercy.
Hu Weiyong frowned: "What are you doing? You are so brave, you dare to block my way."
The shopkeeper saluted: "I'm sorry, only guests and waiters staying in this inn can enter. Which one do you belong to?"
Hu Weiyong frowned: "Don't you know me?"
Shopkeeper: "I know you. You are a second-rank official of the imperial court, the current prime minister, Mr. Hu Weiyong."
Hu Weiyong: "Then you still won't let me in?!"
Shopkeeper: "This inn never looks at the family background of its guests, because no one is as high as our Royal Highness, King Xiang."
Zhu Bai is the first grade, so there is really no one higher than him.
Hu Weiyong almost couldn't catch his breath and fainted from anger.
But he also knew that no matter how powerful he was now, he was still not strong enough to bully Zhu Bai, so he could only retreat angrily and let his servants stand outside the inn and shout: "Prime Minister Hu is here to express condolences to all the candidates. All candidates. Come down quickly."
Among the rules of the inn, one of them is: if anyone eats out, eats other people's food, drinks other people's water, suffers from diarrhea and poisoning, the inn will not be responsible.
Therefore, when these ministers heard Hu Weiyong's servants shouting outside, even if they wanted to express their gratitude, they did not dare to come out to pick him up. They just handed over their hands upstairs and said, "Thank you, Master Hu. I don't dare to accept it. Your Excellency, please come back."
Hu Weiyong had no choice but to take his things and leave again in despair.
After much thought, he realized that it would be a waste to go back directly after he had already left, so he went to deliver snacks to the homes of the Juren who had been sponsored by him one by one.
Others were fine, and Ouyang Lun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, which made Hu Weiyong feel very comfortable.
There are still people in the world who are knowledgeable and grateful.
The next day, Zhu Biao took his clothes to visit Juzi, a poor man living in the "Juren Inn", but did not encounter any obstruction.
When Hu Weiyong learned about it, he was very angry and came to question the innkeeper: "Why can the prince go in directly? I am an examiner."
The shopkeeper said: "Being in charge of the examinations or anything like that has nothing to do with the management of our inn. However, His Royal Highness is the supervisor of the Guanya Bureau, so he is the supervisor of the inn, so he can naturally enter."
Then Wu Bozong heard that there were several candidates who were good at astronomy and geography, so he went to discuss with them with the determined atlas and star chart, and he went in immediately.
Hu Weiyong came to question the shopkeeper again: "Why can Wu Bozong go in again?!"
The shopkeeper said: "Have you forgotten? Mr. Wu is now serving in the Guanya Bureau."
Hu Weiyong's eyes turned green with anger: "So, your inn is just going to stop me?! It's really unreasonable!!"
Shopkeeper: "My lord, you can't say that. So far, you are the only outsider here."
When Lao Zhu heard what Er Hu said, he laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh again: "Yes! Hu Weiyong, who let you, a bastard, show off your power everywhere!! The people Lao Twelve chose are really good. We need to recruit a few around."
It was already early today and Lao Zhu was bored. Now that Zhu Bai was mentioned, he asked Erhu: "What are you doing today? Are you wandering out of the palace again?"
The "Xiang Wang Special" stationery made by Zhu Bai sold very well.
There have been many temple fairs in recent days, but they are gone as soon as they are placed on the counter.
Money flows into Zhu Bai's pocket every day.
Lao Zhu was surprised every time he heard Erhu report the numbers.
This guy is really a fortune-teller. As soon as he sits there, money will come rolling in.
Erhu said: "The King of Xiang has not left the palace today."
Lao Zhu frowned: "The temple fair is so lively, but he can still sit still? What is he doing?"
Even the Guanya Bureau has taken a break. Zhu Bai can still be so content when he has nothing to do, which makes him quite scared.
Erhu said: "I don't even know. King Xiang didn't even leave the palace door today."
