In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the tall Wang Zhi standing behind Cao Jixiang, and his thoughts were racing. He thought of Zhang Bao, and of the eldest prince Zhu Youli who had interceded for Wang Zhi.
At this time, Wang Zhi was no longer the little eunuch he was back then.
He has grown a lot taller. Standing behind Cao Jixiang, he is actually taller than Cao Jixiang.
He kept his head lowered, not daring to face His Majesty's gaze.
How many years later, he returned to Beijing and once again came to the Qianqing Palace, which represents the supreme imperial power...
However, this time the mood has changed.
Wang Zhi still remembered the eldest prince. People like Wang Zhi were too smart. After becoming an eunuch, his first master was Zhu Youhuang.
The young Zhu Youhuang was very gentle to him, allowing Wang Zhi to gain dignity again after becoming an eunuch.
Just when Wang Zhi was thinking about assisting Zhu Youluo, Zhang Bao appeared, knocked him unconscious with a stick, and threw himself to North Korea.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
The eldest prince has also grown up.
I am also more mature.
Although time is passing, the original intention has not changed much...
After a pause, Zhu Jianshen withdrew his gaze, looked at Cao Jixiang, and then said: "Cao Jixiang, I have transferred Wang Zhi from North Korea. From now on, I will let Wang Zhi follow you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Jixiang answered quickly.
"Wang Zhi, are you willing to follow Cao Jixiang?"
Wang Zhi heard His Majesty the Emperor's inquiry and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to..."
Wang Zhi is a smart man. Although His Majesty the Emperor's tone is that of discussion, if you feel that it is really a discussion, then you are not far from death.
"It's not like you stayed in North Korea for so many years. After the imperial edict to bring you back came to North Korea, the Governor of North Korea, Wang Yue, wrote a special memorial to me, praising you. It's not easy... …”
When he was in Nanjing, Zhu Jianshen received a memorial from Wang Yue. The first one was a report on North Korea's internal affairs, but the second one specifically mentioned Wang Zhi and used the words "I hate seeing each other so late" to refer to a young eunuch. This really made Zhu Jianshen a little bit Surprised, I couldn't help but secretly sigh, the inertia of history is too strong.
In real history, it was Wang Zhi who recommended Wang Yue to lead troops to fight. Wang Yue's subsequent dismissal from office was also politically implicated after Wanan successfully attacked Wang Zhi.
At this time, Wang Yue had already become famous more than ten years in advance. After meeting Wang Zhi, there were still some sparks of passion.
"Your Majesty, this slave will not dare to accept the compliments from His Majesty the King."
Zhao Huanong, who was standing behind Zhu Jianshen, had been staring at Wang Zhi. He wanted Wang Zhi to die in North Korea, but he had never succeeded. Now that Wang Zhi is close to Cao Jixiang, it is even more difficult to do so.
In fact, Zhao Huanong and Wang Zhi didn't have much of a feud, but most of the eunuchs had persecution delusions and a strong sense of crisis, and Wang Zhi gave Zhao Huanong such a sense of crisis...
Zhu Jianshen chuckled and was about to speak when Gao Yi walked into Qianqing Palace with a child.
This child is wearing a prince's red dragon robe. Although he is young, he still has a sense of majesty.
This child is none other than Zhu Jianshen’s eldest son, Zhu Youhuang
He passed by Wang Zhi and Cao Jixiang without looking sideways: "My son, Zhu Youfu, comes to see my father..."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand: "Get up and come to my side..."
"Yes, Father."
After hearing his father's words, Zhu Youhuang stood up and walked slowly to Zhu Jianshen's side. At this time, Wang Zhi, who had not raised his head, raised his head.
He looked at the prince beside the emperor, glanced at him, and then quickly lowered his head.
At this time, Zhu Youhuang had long forgotten Wang Zhi's appearance. In his impression, he only knew that there was a person like Wang Zhi, but he had almost forgotten what he looked like and what he had done. There are many, but there is a saying that has always been said: "Crying means you can't get the things you like, you can only grab them, let others cry, and laugh yourself..."
Zhu Youfeng stood next to Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Jianshen put a hand on Zhu Youfang's shoulder and pointed one finger at Cao Jixiang.
"Zhu Youhuang, this is the Cao Jixiang that my father often told you. The sweet potatoes and some tender corn in the palace are all found by Cao Jixiang who traveled across the ocean and traveled thousands of miles from the new continent. If he hadn't gone out and found them all, Come on, you can’t eat these things.”
Although corn is not grown on a large scale due to yield issues, it is still available in Beijing, but there are fewer grains on it. Because there are fewer plantings, the taste is not bad. The price of corn is also very expensive. In Beijing Only the children of high-ranking officials can afford to eat sweet potatoes in the city. As for sweet potatoes, because the grain produced in Liaodong is so large and the price is very cheap, the rich and powerful are less and less interested in them. Now they only appear in ordinary people. On the people's dining table.
As for the three provinces of Liaodong, because they have to process so many sweet potatoes, they can only raise livestock in areas with a warmer climate. Sun Xiang, the manager of the three provinces of Liaodong, rarely stays in Guangning City, and spends most of his time less than thirty miles away from Shanhaiguan. The farm, run by the government, has chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs.
After hearing his father's words, Zhu Youlang immediately became interested. He looked at Cao Jixiang and said, "My father often said that Eunuch Cao's merits are in the future, but his benefits are in the present. Eunuch Cao, although I am young, I have always been very good. I admire you, and I am very happy to see Eunuch Cao today."
Cao Jixiang immediately handed over his hand and replied: "Your Highness has commended you, Your Majesty has commended you. This is what a slave should do. It is a meritorious service and belongs to your Majesty. It has nothing to do with this slave..."
Zhu Youluo's performance was pretty good, and Cao Jixiang also answered with full marks.
Zhu Jianshen smiled softly: "The prince is young, so he knows whose contribution this is. The contribution of thousands of years belongs to you..."
"I don't dare, slave."
While Cao Jixiang and Zhu Jianshen were arguing, Wang Zhi felt a little unable to hold back. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
He was a little eager for His Majesty the Emperor to introduce himself, and Zhu Youhuang, standing next to the Emperor, seemed to be expecting his father to introduce the young eunuch.
Because he looked familiar to Wang Zhi, but for a moment, he couldn't remember anything.
This feeling made Zhu Youhuang a little curious.
However, if his father didn't tell him, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Zhu Youhuang didn't stay in Qianqing Palace for long. After Zhu Youhuang was taken away by Gao Yi, Zhu Jianshen said: "Wang Zhi, follow Cao Jixiang and make some achievements. Next time, I will introduce you well."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Zhi lowered his head and replied.
Zhu Jianshen didn't care what Wang Zhi was feeling in his heart, and of course he didn't need to think about it...
According to the plan, Cao Jixiang will stay in Beijing for a few days and then take Wang Zhi to Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. Although the armed forces of the large fleet are on standby in Ningbo, the fleet heading out to sea is still in Dengzhou Prefecture. This time For the first time, the scale of the voyage exceeded the fleet of Sanbao Eunuch's voyage to the West...
