Zhang Heling was greatly distressed when Zhu Youtang reprimanded him in his own territory Fengmingyuan. Not only did he fail to show off, he was also scolded. The most important thing was that he originally only had to pay 20% of the commercial tax. After this unexpected incident, it became Collect 30% commercial tax. But what can I say? Thank God that my brother-in-law didn't tell his father.
"Sir, the Song Army has been called." A servant stood at the door and said. He knew that his master was very moody. He must have been angry again when he was beating things in the house when he came back today. He did not dare to go in to deliver a message.
"Let this bitch get in quickly!" Zhang Heling was extremely dissatisfied with the efficiency of Song Jun, a slave. A few days ago, he patted his chest and promised himself categorically that he would definitely send Wang Shu to see the King of Hell. As a result, Wang Shu didn't lose a hair and was still alive and well. His brother-in-law even found out about this. Of course, he did not rule out that he had indeed underestimated Wang Shu. This old man whose body was half buried in the loess was far from being as simple as he thought. He was not a waste...
Song Jun didn't know that the news of his assassination of Wang Shu had been exposed. He happily led a group of scoundrels to ambush Wang Shu on his way to the capital camp every day. But what was puzzling was that he didn't see Wang Shu at all in the past few days. No sign of forgiveness. This morning, when the Song Army saw Wang Shu swaggering on the official road, they were about to call all the brothers out when they suddenly discovered that Wang Shu was escorted by hundreds of Jin Yiwei, and there was actually the commander Wantong with the palm print of Jin Yiwei inside. Song Jun immediately knew that his plan was in vain, but what puzzled him was that Old Man Wang was too arrogant. He only had to be escorted by hundreds of royal guards. Even the commander of the palm seal had to act as a bodyguard himself.
Song Jun knew that Zhang Heling's sudden call to him so late was definitely up to no good, so he wrote a suicide note in advance and asked his brother to send it home. Going to Zhang's house today would be a disaster! "
"The villain Song Jun has met the young master." Song Jun knelt on the ground anxiously, waiting for Zhang Heling's trial.
"Song Jun, come here." The latter trembled after hearing this, and then slowly moved over on his knees. As soon as he moved to Zhang Heling's feet, Zhang Heling raised his leg and kicked him up and cursed: "Bitch, you are How can you guarantee me?"
Song Jun immediately fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Sir, I made a mistake. I was indeed waiting for Mr. Wang on his only way home, but I don't know why he hasn't passed by in the past few days."
"Hmph, I don't know why, I'm here to remind you!" Zhang Heling picked up the ceramic jug on the table and threw it at it. Song Jun screamed, covered his bloody face, and kept begging for mercy:
"Sir, I made a mistake, please give me another chance!"
Zhang Heling sat on the chair and said with a faint smile: "Forget it, my brother-in-law already knows about this, and you have lost your chance. Prepare a sedan for me, and follow me to Liu Ge's house."

On the couch in Kunning Palace, Zhu Youtang and Queen Zhang had just finished the Wushan rain. They hugged each other tightly. Zhang Yuer said softly: "I heard that your Majesty brought a woman into the palace yesterday and kept her in Qianqing Palace. , are you planning to make her a concubine?"
Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief, thought about Su Yin's graceful figure, and said with a smile, "Why, are you jealous?"
"No way, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Besides, you are still the emperor. But...I am still worried that your Majesty will forget about me when he has a new love in the future." Empress Zhang said coquettishly.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said: "How could it be possible? I promise you today that you will always be the queen of the Ming Dynasty and the master of these six palaces."
Hearing her man's assurance, Queen Zhang buried her head in Zhu Youtang's arms with satisfaction. Zhu Youtang was about to turn over when he suddenly heard "Ouch" from Queen Zhang.
"What's wrong?"
Empress Zhang covered her swollen right face and said, "I have a sudden toothache recently."
Zhu Youtang remembered that he had only cared about his own happiness just now, and he didn't realize that someone else's face on his pillow was swollen like a steamed bun. Somewhat embarrassed, I asked, "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"
"I also want to please His Majesty, and I am afraid of disturbing His Majesty's interest." Empress Zhang said shyly.
Zhu Youtang immediately turned over and shouted: "Here comes someone, prepare some garlic."
When the palace maids and eunuchs who were watching outside the door heard it, they immediately ran in and said, "I obey the order."
Empress Zhang asked in confusion: "Why does Your Majesty want garlic? A new trick?"
"No way, mash garlic, warm it and apply it to your painful area, it can effectively relieve it."
Considering the reason for Queen Zhang's toothache, Zhu Youtang let her go that night, got up and started painting on the table. Early the next morning, Zhu Youtang kissed Queen Zhang gently on her forehead and said softly: "Get up and take a look at the gift I have prepared for you."
Because Queen Zhang had a toothache, she stayed up very late at night before falling asleep. After hearing Zhu Youtang speak, she got up, rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily: "What is it?"
Zhu Youtang took out a small brush from his back and said with a smile: "This is what I improved. I named it a toothbrush."
"Toothbrush" first appeared in the "Trivial Records" written by Wen Ge of the Northern Song Dynasty: "Don't brush your teeth when you get up early, for fear that the roots will be loose and the teeth will be loose and easy to shake. If you suffer from toothache for a long time, you will brush your teeth with ponytail."
"Brush your teeth" refers to the toothbrush. "
In the "Yuyuan Prescription" of the Yuan Dynasty, the way people brushed their teeth was directly recorded: "Use a toothbrush dipped in medicine to brush the upper and lower teeth, and then rinse with warm water."
Before the advent of toothbrushes, people mainly used willow branches to brush their teeth.
It was also mentioned in the "Secrets of Waitai" of the Tang Dynasty: "Every time I bite a willow branch and my head becomes soft, I take some medicine and wipe my teeth. It will be fragrant and smooth."
Here it is proposed to bite the willow branches until soft every morning, apply medicine on them, and use them to brush your teeth.
It can be seen that willow branches are indeed the prototype of ancient toothbrushes.
In fact, it was Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty who invented the toothbrush in history. Zhu Youtang, who traveled through time, just copied it and advanced the invention by several years.
Empress Zhang touched it carefully and said with a happy smile: "It's quite unique. How was it made?"
"I asked the imperial doctor. You didn't rinse your mouth for a long time after eating. The food residue was left in the gaps between the teeth. Over time, the teeth developed cavities, which caused the toothache. The imperial doctor recommended that you eat every time After eating, I have to rinse my mouth to clean away the food residue in my mouth. But I thought that the method I used before may not be able to clean it every time, so this morning I asked the craftsman to dig out one end of the slender bamboo board. Make a lot of small holes, then wash the bristles with boiling water, soak them until soft, and finally stuff them into the small holes to fix them." Zhu Youtang proudly showed off his product like a product salesman.
When Empress Zhang heard that Zhu Youtang invented the toothbrush specially for her, she was even more delighted and said, "Your Majesty is so smart and talented, I admire you!"
Zhu Youtang hugged Queen Zhang and said, "I am determined to promote this toothbrush throughout the country to benefit the people of Ming Dynasty!"
