Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 610

Although it is said that he came out leisurely, but Zhu Yixi has long wanted to go out to have a look, walk around and listen,
After all, in the mouths of these eunuchs and Jin Yiwei, such things involving the reputation of the emperor are always untrue.

You have to go and see for yourself what is said about you in the market.

Yang Le nodded in response, and Tian Ren, the eunuch at the side, came over kindly: "Are you riding a horse or a car?"

"Let's take a ride, stay hidden..."

"Yes!"

Soon, several carriages left the palace.

On the way, Wu Bangfu, commander of Jin Yiwei, accompanied him in the car, while Tian Ren and Yang Le lived in the back car instead.

Although the two great eunuchs were sitting together, their gazes did not meet very much, only alienation and strangeness.

"Why is Your Majesty thinking of leaving the palace again?" Yang Le cast a glance at him and asked with a smile.

"When you're bored in the palace, you come out for a stroll. It's not unusual." Tian Ren said calmly without moving his eyelids.

Seeing his posturing, Yang Le couldn't help being angry.

Smiling, he stopped talking.

He has long understood in his heart that the emperor is a person who cares about face, whether he is in front of people or in the queen, he always wants to flaunt himself as a wise emperor.

Therefore, before the spring, the emperor specially returned to the Forbidden City from Yuquan Villa, just to avoid gossip from others.

Otherwise, with this master's temperament, he could stay in Yuquan Villa for several years without looking back.

And this time out of the palace, it must be because the emperor couldn't bear his temper and wanted to know his evaluation among the people and scholars.

Smiling, Yang Le stopped talking.

When Tian Ren saw it, he felt disdainful, and left His Majesty to become the factory supervisor. It seemed that he had great power, but how could he be half as good as himself?
"Young master, it's here—"

The carriage parked steadily in front of the gate of Liubiju, and it looked extraordinarily ordinary when the carriages and horses kept bustling the city.

For his own safety, when the emperor travels in private, he always reserves a place half an hour in advance, so that Jin Yiwei can protect him in advance.

"Ok!"

After getting out of the carriage, the quaint plaque of Liubiju came into view.

According to legend, this Liubiju was inscribed by Yan Song, but it is famous because of pickles.

"Young master, please—"

"Do you want a private room or a lobby?"

The man's eyes were sharp, seeing the silk and satin of these people, he immediately came over to serve them courteously.

"Find a corner, a cleaner location."

Zhu Yixi glanced at the lobby, although it was not meal time, there were only a dozen or so tables, and nearly [-]% of them were already seated.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of those wine shops, Liubiju seemed a little quieter and more leisurely, the voice was not loud, and most of the literati were enjoying Liubiju's pickles quietly.

"Okay!" The buddy responded and guided the few people to a place.

Soon, several special dishes such as radish with sweet sauce, cucumber with sweet sauce, nectar with sweet sauce, and black vegetables with sweet sauce came to the table.

"You guys find a place to sit too!"

Wu Bangfu, Yang Le, and Tian Ren could only sit aside and watch the emperor's every move all the time.

The taste of the pickles is sweet and salty, and the taste is really good.

"The spring is approaching, and I don't know who will be the number one scholar in this department?"

"It goes without saying, of course it's Nanzhili, Zhejiang Province is also possible, since ancient times Jiangnan has a prosperous literary style..."

"Your Majesty has returned from Yuquan Mountain? I don't know what's good about that."

"The golden house hides the beauty!"

"Nonsense, there are so many beauties in the Forbidden City, but there is still a shortage of people?"

"You don't understand. A wife is worse than a concubine. A concubine is worse than stealing. Stealing is worse than not being able to steal. Men like this..."

"By the way, a few days ago, I saw a few handsome nuns in the area of ​​Guangning Gate. It's a pity that they have that figure and appearance..."

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, I refuse to give Buddhism..."

"Pfft-"

The young masters didn't shy away from it, and they didn't think they were serious readers, which made everyone in the lobby laugh and laugh a lot.

"Young master, I'm sorry, how about sharing a table?"

Suddenly, a sound woke Zhu Yixi from listening. He looked up and saw a thin-faced man clasping his hands in salute.

Beside him, there are two men with similar age difference.

Although these people were wearing long gowns, their reading spirit was very light, and they had a bit of an official air on the contrary.

I don't know when, it's already dinner time, there are so many guests coming and going, it's almost full.

Wu Bangfu and others on the side wanted to get up, but were stopped by Zhu Yixi.

"Please--"

Several people sat down, ordered some dishes, and ordered a jug of wine.

"Meeting is fate. I'm Zhang Zhe, a native of Shaanxi. I don't know how to call you?"

"My lord is Jackie Chan, whose name is Beiming!"

"Lu Zhuo, the word surpasses it!"

"Bronze inscriptions, written in ink."

Yu Chenglong said with a smile: "Little brother, at first glance, he is wealthy, graceful, and extraordinary."

Jackie Yu?People from Shanxi must be pretty good.

"That's ridiculous." Zhu Yixi smiled, your vision is really good.

"The three have extraordinary bearing, they must have just entered the officialdom not long ago!"

"How do you know?"

Lu Zhuo was inexplicably surprised.

"The three are from Jin Province. At first glance, they are not merchants, nor are they officials. They must be officials. And the official house in the middle of the capital must have sent servants to order Liubiju pickles, and they have almost no relatives."

Zhu Yixi talked eloquently: "The only ones who can meet the requirements are those who arrived in the provincial examination last year."

"What brother said is true, I admire it."

Yu Chenglong clasped his hands and said in admiration: "I entered Beijing at the end of autumn last year, and it took me half a year to arrive in Chunwei. I waited for my brother to travel around the six departments and never had a moment to spare. Only today can I visit the capital..."

"Thinking of the three coming back to Jin, they must be Bailihou. Congratulations."

Zhu Yixi looked at him, how did his ordinary face gain such a great reputation in history.

"Unfortunately, I have never seen His Majesty."

At this moment, Lu Zhuo sighed, took a sip of his wine, and said irritably, "I was in Yuquan Villa last month, and now I'm back in Beijing, I guess I forgot about us."

"The provincial exam is also obtained, but now it looks like a maidservant girl, no one loves it."

Jin Wen echoed: "Chunwei's scholars have arrived, the emperor can take care of us, wait slowly..."

Several people were chatting, but the boss Zhao Lejing heard that they were county magistrates, so he ran over immediately, wanting to ask for a pair of calligraphy.

The three of them were naturally happy, and each wrote an old poem of their own, and each received 20 yuan as an embellishment fee.

When it was Zhu Yixi's turn, the boss greeted him respectfully.

"Is this what you can think of?" Tian Ren on the side scolded, and was immediately stopped by the emperor.

"I can't write poetry, but I have an old friend's poem, which can barely be read—"

After saying that, he raised his right hand and swiped the ink:
One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five, six, seven, eighty, ninety pieces.

Thousands of pieces, countless pieces, flying into the plum blossoms are not seen.

Zheng Banqiao's poems were later rumored to have been written by Qianlong.

"It's rough at first sight, but the finishing touch is the last sentence, good poem, good poem!"

Yu Chenglong praised.

"A good stereotyped article, if you want poems, you will get poems, if you want words, you will get words. Let us encourage you to serve as an official. Don't be a corrupt official."

After saying that, he took a big stride and went straight out of Liubiju.
