Daming prepares the emperor

Only then did Lan Yu realize that she was not very smart, and asked curiously, "Then how did they do it?"

"You don't need to know these things." Zhu Biao said, "Do you want to learn worse after hearing it?"

Lan Yu quickly waved her hand, saying that she didn't dare, she felt that the holy favor flew away from her body like a bird, went straight to the sky, and went to an invisible and inaccessible place, she couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

The fear of punishment, the fear of his sister and brother-in-law knowing what happened, and the jealousy of watching others do meritorious deeds, three feelings exploded in his heart at the same time, making the previously arrogant figure sluggish immediately.

At this time, when Zhu Xi saw him again, he might not be able to recognize Lan Yu from his back.

"Brother." Zhu Jingning came over under the guard of the guards. She glanced at Lan Yu curiously. Seeing his flattering smile, she subconsciously disliked him. The well-behaved gray rabbit said, "Can I raise this one?"

Zhu Biao took the rabbit over: "Where did you buy this?"

"there."

Zhu Biao looked over her head, and saw that the boss sold not only rabbits, but also chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, etc. The business was very good. There were a bunch of people picking and choosing in front of the stall, and Zhu Jingjing was among them, holding A little chick looked at each other with wide-eyed eyes, obviously tempted.

The juggling she mentioned earlier was not attractive, only Zhu Xi and the others huddled together and looked at the gravel in their chests.

"Buy it if you like it." Zhu Biao said, "This rabbit is a female and can be bred in the future."

Zhu Jingning's eyes lit up, she took it and said happily, "I'll call Wei Gong, and Housekeeper Wei will pay for it!"

"Wait." Zhu Biao said, "Tell Jingjing that if she wants something, she can still ask Wei Zhongde to pay for it."

"I see!" Zhu Jingning ran over.

The yellow fluffy chicks are huddled in the cage, stacked on top of each other, and the sound of chirping can be heard endlessly. Some are nestling, some are screaming loudly, and some are sleeping. A few particularly active ones spread their wings and stretch their necks Jumped out, halfway through the jump, did a somersault while hanging on it, fell down and lay on top of the brothers and sisters.

Five or six ragged-haired variegated lambs were tied to wooden stakes, their swarthy eyes were staring at the crowd, they kept bleating, they were still chewing grass, and a few children were playing with their beards. There was no response, and only when the big goose flapped its wings would it symbolically hide for a while.

There were not many pigs nearby, and they sold out quickly. After a while, only a few pigs were left lying on the ground with their buttocks pouted.

Zhu Jingjing put down the chickens, and became interested in them again. She was already thinking about where in the Forbidden City she could build a pigsty, and where she could herd sheep. Zhu Jingning pulled her hand before she came to her senses: "What's wrong?"

"This is the rabbit I chose." Zhu Jingning showed her the pet in her arms, "Brother said it's okay to keep."

Zhu Jingjing stretched out her hand to touch it, feeling a little indescribable in her heart, and said in a low voice, "It's pretty pretty."

"Brother said you can buy what you like."

"Really?" Zhu Jingjing's jealousy of her brother being snatched away disappeared in an instant, and she said pleasantly, "I want to raise pigs."

Zhu Jingning slowly tilted her head and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"Look." Zhu Jingjing turned her body sideways, exposing the pig's butt, "How interesting, the weeds cut from the garden are also useful, you can feed it."

Zhu Jingning was a little persuaded, but still felt it was inappropriate. She turned to look at Zhu Biao, wanting to get his approval. Zhu Biao was talking to Lan Yu, but she didn't turn her eyes here, so she turned back again.

"Father will like it too!" Zhu Jingjing continued, "Do you still remember what Dad said, he said that when he was a child, he couldn't eat meat during the Chinese New Year, but we raised this pig so that we can eat it during the New Year, and Dad will be happy. "

Zhu Jingning was completely convinced. In her heart, Zhu Yuanzhang's going to feed the pigs did not violate the law at all.She went to call Wei Zhongde, then pointed at a whining pig with her short finger and said, "Eldest sister said that she wanted to buy this, and elder brother also agreed."

"This." Wei Zhongde was dumbfounded, "Second Miss, did you really say that?"

"Brother said, if Jing Jing likes something, she can ask Steward Wei to pay for it."

Wei Zhongde's forehead began to sweat: "Second Miss, where do you plan to keep this dolphin?"

"Keep it at home!" Zhu Jingjing said with her arms akimbo, "In the garden."

Do you raise pigs in the imperial garden?

Wei Zhongde shook his hands and took out his purse to get the money. It was impossible for him to disobey the order, but it would be too shocking to raise pigs in the Forbidden City. But after thinking about it, the Holy Majesty himself had a vegetable field, and it seemed that the princes and princesses would not be able to set up a pigsty. Not unacceptable.

Anyway, the pig decided to buy it.

Zhu Jingjing picked out a pig, and was about to ask the stall owner to bring it out, when someone said in his ear: "This pig is a breeding pig. If you buy it alone, you should buy the female one. It is cheaper, and you can have cubs in the future."

"Lord Lu." Wei Zhongde was startled at first, then embarrassed.

Lu Jinai was carrying a hen, and stood beside them at some point. He was still wearing a sixth-rank official uniform. Although the official hat was taken off and held in his hand, it was still very conspicuous, but the people around seemed to be used to it. In general, when he glanced occasionally, the eyes were more kind and did not avoid him.

Now his official position is the censor of the south of the city. After working for a few months, he has become familiar with the people.

"Wei... Steward Wei." Lu Jin'ai asked puzzled, "Why would you buy a dolphin here?"

"I, this is a long story." Wei Zhongde said, "Young Master brought his younger siblings out to play. Look, these are the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss."

Lu Jin'ai thought it was Wei Zhongde's relatives, or his adopted daughter, but now she knew it was the princess, so she hurriedly greeted her, and said, "I'm next to Lu Jin'ai."

"Do you know pigs well?" Zhu Jingjing asked.

Lu Jinai was taken aback. Today, there is no imperial decree explicitly tabooing the pronunciation of Zhu characters, but there is a custom among the people to avoid tabooing spontaneously, and people in the officialdom are even more conscious. I didn't expect the princesses to be so naive, they didn't take this matter to heart, and asked It's really hard to answer this kind of words.

Do you know Zhu or pigs?

"Forget it, you know Steward Wei, you should be a good person, I'll just listen to you." Zhu Jingjing didn't insist on getting an answer, so she stopped asking soon and dragged Zhu Jingning to Zhu Di to show off the rabbit.

Wei Zhongde waved his hand and called a few people to carry the pig, and smiled at Lu Jinai: "Master Lu, are you shopping for vegetables?"

"I bought this to lay eggs." Lu Jin'ai said, "I have thought about suggesting this to you, Young Master."

"What?" Wei Zhongde was shocked, "Does this chicken have..."

"No, this chicken is an ordinary chicken." Lu Jin'ai shook his head, "I want to talk to you about money, my salary is really low."

"..." Wei Zhong pulled Lu Jin'ai out of the noisy crowd, and persuaded, "Lord Lu, before the Holy Majesty left Beijing, he lost his temper just because someone raised his salary. The severed head was still bleeding. What to do, how do you come up with this idea, let’s talk about it in a few days.”

"It's common sense to ask if you don't understand something." Lu Jinai said, "If the Holy Majesty and His Highness can persuade me, that's of course great. But even I can't survive, and there are still a few officials with enough money Use? If you are an official and need to be subsidized by your family, how many people can not be greedy?"

"However, it's better to wait a little longer." He added, "Recently, Yushitai is too busy, so I'm afraid we won't be able to discuss the regulations."

Wei Zhongde felt that even if the censors were not busy, they would not discuss this fatal issue with Lu Jinai.

But he doesn't say it.

He is a good eunuch, and a good eunuch does not interfere in political affairs.

Lu Jin'ai paused for a while, and asked, "Where is the young master? I should go and see you."

Before Wei Zhongde could speak, he saw Lan Yu, who was tall and burly, and then saw Zhu Biao. He cupped his hands at Wei Zhongde, and strode over there.

"Hey—" Wei Zhongde couldn't hold back.

"Don't cause trouble for five months, concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy at home, let me see your repentance, and attack Sichuan in the early spring of next year, I will ask Your Majesty to allow you to be the deputy general."

"Okay, okay! I will be obedient."

After begging for a long time, Sapphire's face was all gone, and when she had exhausted her obedient words, she searched her guts and couldn't find any words, and finally "convinced" the prince to accept an apology and change her impression.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Biao and Lan Yu had moved to a secluded place at this time, so Lu Jin'ai used the proper address, but in order not to attract attention, she still did not dare to kneel down.

He shows up just as the conversation breaks down, startling Sapphire.

"Who are you?" Sapphire snapped.

"This is Lu Jin'ai." Zhu Biao pushed Sapphire in front of him, "Why are you here?"

"Back to Your Highness, I'm here to buy a hen."

"Oh!" Zhu Biao was not surprised, but asked, "How are you doing in the south of the city?"

"I don't have any difficulties, and I have resolved them properly." Lu Jinai said, "Your Highness asked why I am here, and what I want to ask is, why is Your Highness here?"

Zhu Biao's smile froze.

"I heard that His Highness brought the princes and princesses out to play, is that true?"

"Ah... almost."

"The son of a thousand gold can't sit still. Your Highness has acted like this. Have you notified the Holy One? If you encounter bad people, do you have a plan to evacuate?"

Lu Jinai asked two questions in one breath, and finally said: "The Holy Majesty went to Bianliang and asked His Highness to supervise the country. Has His Highness finished handling the political affairs?"

Zhu Biao seems to have seen the shadow of the dean, but what is frightening is that his political affairs have not been dealt with yet.

Those memorials are sent non-stop every day, and good and bad things happen all over the country all the time. How can anyone deal with them?

So Zhu Biao also languished.

Sapphire was shocked in his eyes. Of course he knew who Lu Jinai was, and knew that he was a pure princeling, so he always paid more attention to his deeds, but he didn't expect the prince to be so fond of him that he could allow him to speak face-to-face , and does not refute.

What a god.

Sapphire's eyes were shining, staring straight at Lu Jin'ai.

"He is Sapphire." Feeling the fiery gaze beside him, Zhu Biao remembered that he still had a shield, so he pushed Sapphire, who had been pushed away by him, to the front again, "Today is destined, you two just know each other, should We met."

This was exactly what Sapphire wanted, he took a step forward, and immediately started chatting with Lu Jin'ai, an idiot has the advantages of being a fool, and he doesn't have a good impression of Xungui, and Lu Jin'ai, who has no good impression of Sapphire, because he doesn't hide it His character and shameless attitude couldn't get rid of him for a while, and he was forced to chat with him.

Sapphire's thoughts about why not eat minced meat from time to time in her words aroused Lu Jin'ai's enthusiasm completely unconsciously, and he began to criticize severely, citing scriptures and saying the truth, and asked Sapphire to correct it.

If it were someone else, Lan Yu would have swung his fist long ago, but Lu Jinai is a princeling. At this time, he was admired by Zhu Biao because of his anger, so he listened carefully, and the scolded dog blood sprinkler nodded again and again, which is actually considered Get along well.One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

"Big……"

Zhu Di came over and was about to make a sound when Zhu Biao grabbed his arm and stepped back, covering his mouth. He was only a few feet away from Lu Jin'ai before he felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. .

Having such subordinates is both a blessing and a headache. Direct ministers are absolutely indispensable. You can do without them, but you must never do without them.

Lu Jinai pointed out the problem face to face, and what he said was the truth. Of course, Zhu Biao would not be angry, but he didn't want to be scolded either. He could only fool around like Li Shimin did to Wei Zheng.

But judging by their looks, both of them enjoyed it, so he didn't tell Lan Yu the truth.

——After all, nine out of ten books on the impeachment of Sapphire were written by Lu Jinai, who was walking on the same street with him.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Biao let go of his hand.

Zhu Di didn't have time to think about Zhu Biao's reaction, so he blurted out, "Brother, do you really agree with Zhu Jingjing raising dolphins in the imperial garden?"
