Zhu Biao suddenly felt regretful, "We have only heard occasionally that if many cattle live together, they will fight each other and even kill each other, and they are not asked to slaughter the cattle. How could they distort our words like this... ?”
Zhu Biao is really kind. If this matter were brought to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu would probably stare blankly and curse the treacherous minister.
Those old soldiers must be punished, and even forty lashes are considered light.
"well!"
After talking for a while, Zhu Biao came back to his senses.
"Fourth, why is there no trace of surprise on your face? Have you already known about this?"
Zhu Di quickly said: "Brother misunderstood, how could I know this in advance?"
"fart……"
Zhu Biao was so angry that he cursed, "We still wonder why the old soldier mentioned that cattle would die in a fight or fall to death!
All of you have weird faces, even Jiujiang and Cao Zhen have weird faces! "
"It turns out that it's not that the old soldier has any foresight, but that he was trained by you and the others!"
"Jiujiang, Cao Zhen, when you were in the capital, would you often do this kind of thing?"
Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen panicked.
He quickly explained, "Your Highness has misunderstood. We must never dare to slaughter cattle at will. Otherwise, if His Majesty finds out, he will definitely punish us severely!"
Zhu Di also followed up and said: "Exactly, brother, I don't dare to kill farm cattle on weekdays. Today, those old soldiers learned that you came to inspect Peking in person, so they slaughtered one of them cruelly, specially to cleanse you and let you taste the beef. the taste of!"
Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Di closely, "Fourth brother, tell us honestly, how many cows die in fights on your farm every year?"
Zhu Di was stunned and quickly explained: "Brother, don't worry, I really don't like to eat beef, and I won't take the initiative to slaughter cattle.
Because so many cattle are raised in the mountains, there will always be cattle accidentally falling and dying, or dying in fights. Every one or two months, you can always eat beef! "
"well!"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look helpless and blamed himself: "This is still our fault.
Out of curiosity, we went to the farm and actually killed a farm cow?
How many more acres of land can this plowing cow plow for the people every year? "
Zhu Di was startled and said quickly: "Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. Even if eldest brother doesn't go to inspect the farm, I will order the slaughter of a farm cow to entertain eldest brother!"
"Zhu Di, how dare you do this?"
Zhu Biao was furious and said regretfully: "We shouldn't have come to Beiping Mansion!"
Zhu Di added, "Even if my eldest brother doesn't come to Beiping Mansion, if I get greedy or want to celebrate the good rice, I will kill a cow!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but glared at Zhu Di angrily, "Why do you always want to eat the cattle?"
Zhu Di said: "Brother, as the King of Yan, I raise so many cattle. Isn't it too much to eat one or two cattle that fell to death or died in a fight?"
Zhu Biao angrily rebuked: "Fourth brother, slaughtering cattle is a crime. Anyone who deliberately kills other people's horses and cattle will receive a seventy-year rod and a year and a half in prison;
Those who kill their own horses or oxen privately shall receive a hundred rods;
If a farm cow dies from an injury or illness, he will be exploited privately without reporting it to the government, and he will be flogged forty times! "
Zhu Di said: "Brother, the cattle died accidentally. Someone has already informed the Beiping government office!"
Zhu Biao looked angry: "..."
"Okay, okay, brother, the farm cattle taste so delicious. I raise so many of them on my farm, why not kill one?"
Zhu Di chuckled and said: "Besides, as a dignified King of Yan, I never bully the people, nor do I take bribes and bend the law, let alone the second and third sons...
He even built schools, paved roads, and repaired some infrastructure on weekdays. He was completely a wise king...
However, it’s not too much to eat a few bites of beef if you happen to be greedy! "
Zhu Biao let out a long sigh. It would not be too much to compare Zhu Di with Lao Er and Lao San.
Moreover, Zhu Di is so greedy, the second and third sons... and the gentry and dignitaries from all over the world...
Thinking about it, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel heavy.
…
After two years of training, the cooks in Prince Yan's Mansion have made great improvements in cooking.
After the old soldiers and generals from the farm delivered the chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep, all the cooks quickly started cooking.
Soon, the enticing aroma of meat wafted throughout the kitchen of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Afterwards, plates of meat meals were served by a group of waiters.
There is even a whole roasted lamb, roasted chicken, and roasted duck!
Sour, spicy, sweet...
The whole hall suddenly heard the sound of swallowing.
Zhu Di greeted with joy on his face, "Brother, come on, come on, have a good taste! Among them, more than half of the meat dishes were developed by Guo Qing, and the taste is unparalleled..."
Zhu Biao put away his thoughts, picked up a piece of beef, took one bite, and his eyes lit up.
Immediately, he picked up a bunch of mutton.
"hiss……"
It was spicy and fragrant, and I couldn't help but ask: "Lao Si, what kind of condiments are put in the mutton, and why is it so fragrant?"
"Brother, it's Chili!"
"chili?"
"It is a spicy vegetable that cannot be eaten alone, but if it is stir-fried in dishes or used to stir-fry meat, it tastes very fragrant..."
"call……"
"Compared with the food in your house, the food in our East Palace is simply pig food..."
At this moment, Zhu Biao was already sweating profusely, but his face was full of excitement and he couldn't stop at all.
"Go back and bring us a hundred catties of chili peppers!"
Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Biao no longer paid attention to cattle farming.
As for a hundred catties of chili peppers, it is a trivial matter for today's Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll have my servants ready in a moment. However, the chili peppers are extremely spicy, so you can only eat half a stick or a small stick at a time!"
"Speechless after eating! Stop talking and focus on eating..."
"yes, Sir……"
After eating this meal, Zhu Biao's mouth was full of oil and juice, and he was very satisfied.
What he just said was not wrong. Compared with the food in Prince Yan's palace, the food in his East Palace is really not as good as pig food.
After the meal, Zhu Biao sat there with a big belly, not wanting to move.
Below, Li Jinglong, Cao Zhen and others were even more full.
He sat there for a long time.
Zhu Di then said to Zhu Biao: "Brother, let's go, I'll take you to take a bath and get a massage. You can't do this if you stay in the East Palace, not only working hard all day long, but also being watched closely by a group of stubborn civil servants. You can't do that, it's too unfair...
You finally came to Beiping Mansion. Without those annoying officials around you, I will definitely take you to enjoy it! "
"Take a bath?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.
Guo An, Zhu Fu and others below quickly stood up and said goodbye to Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Yan, the ministers and others have important matters to attend to, so please leave first!"
"allow!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
Suddenly, only Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Li Jinglong, and Cao Zhen were left in the entire hall.
Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen looked bitter. They had no excuse to leave.
Zhu Di glanced at Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen and said, "You two go down and have a rest. We have important matters to discuss with my eldest brother!"
"Your Highness, I will leave at the end!"
The two of them glanced at Zhu Biao and found that Zhu Biao had no objection, so they quickly stood up and left.
Zhu Di helped Zhu Biao stand up, "Brother, let's go. If you go back to the East Palace, you won't be able to enjoy this magical life!"
Zhu Biao nodded reservedly.
After soaking in the pool for a while, and then being massaged for a while, he felt that his whole body felt lighter.
…
at the same time.
A group of officials from the Chief Envoy's Department, the Capital Command Department, the Inspector's Envoy's Department, and even in the yamen of Beiping Prefecture were sitting in their respective yamen, waiting expectantly.
Until a person ran in from outside the Yamen with a disappointed look on his face.
All the officials in the yamen looked at the man expectantly.
"What is His Highness the Crown Prince doing now? Can you give me an order?"
"No! There is no movement in Prince Yan's Mansion..."
"this……"
"More than an hour has passed since His Highness the Crown Prince came back from the farm outside the city. Why is there still no news?"
"Everyone, is it because His Highness the Crown Prince has forgotten me?"
"Impossible, don't you know what kind of character His Highness the Crown Prince is?"
"Could it be that it's King Yan..."
"snort!"
"No matter what, His Highness the Crown Prince finally visited Peiping, and under our management, Beiping Mansion is so prosperous. Such a good opportunity must not be missed!"
"Don't worry, sirs. I'll go and wait outside Prince Yan's palace in person!"
"good!"
…
At the same time, in a courtyard in Beiping Mansion.
A group of people also gathered together.
Among them, two middle-aged men carefully introduced: "The one who inspected Beiping Mansion this time has only Cao Guogong and Jingchuan Marquis beside him, and there is no one else... not even a talkative person. None of the civil servants..."
"I came to Peiping yesterday and entered Prince Yan's Mansion directly. I was taken into Prince Yan's Palace by Prince Yan without meeting any officials from Beiping Mansion...
Until today, I went to the farm under Prince Yan’s Mansion and then returned to Prince Yan’s Palace again..."
"Officials from the Chief Envoy Department, the Capital Command Department, and the Inspection Department of the Beiping Prefecture are guarding outside the Yan Palace, but they can't get in..."
"Then King Yan is so domineering!"
"Hmph, otherwise, why can we always control Zhangjiawan Pier, and even the trading fleet with Korea, and not even give me a morsel of soup, and even drive me away... …”
"This time, the Inspectors and Chief Envoys will definitely be dissatisfied!"
"More than just dissatisfaction, he is openly offering rewards for corruption among officials. He is denying hundreds of officials in Beiping Prefecture a way to survive..."
"This time, even if King Yan is not punished, he will still have to lose his favor!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"Have you finished writing your blood letters and petitions?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we have already written it!"
"Tomorrow, that person will definitely meet with all the officials from Beiping Mansion!"
"We will send someone to hand over a copy of the complaint to the Inspector General, and then send someone to hand over a copy to the person next to him..."
"It's best to hand it over to that person in public, so that King Yan will lose his face!"
"The old men have also made arrangements!"
"When that person returns to the capital, and all the others in the capital report to His Majesty, he, King Yan, will never think of monopolizing the power of trade in Goryeo by himself!"
"Great kindness..."
In the house, everyone was discussing secretly again.
…
the next day.
Guo An's daily score is high again.
In the Changshi Department, all the officials were on duty early again.
However, there were not many major events today. Guo An, Zhu Fu and other officials of the Changshi Division were still handling the government affairs of the palace as usual.
In the Beiping Mansion, the Inspectorate Department suddenly exploded.
In the main hall of their envoy's office, there was suddenly a stack of pleadings, and even half of them were written in blood.
Moreover, all the spearheads in these petitions are pointed at King Yan!
