King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

In the Cining Palace, Empress Zhang was enjoying the meals provided by the imperial palace, but she had not eaten much these days. Firstly, it was because the food tasted bad, and secondly, it was because her mind was full of thoughts about her unreliable brother.

She looked at the Kunning Palace in the distance and saw the curling green smoke, and suddenly she had an ominous premonition.

Fire? What was Zhu Youjian thinking? Make an elixir, or blow up the palace?
Thinking of this, Empress Zhang became anxious and didn't even care about the Phoenix Chariot. She called out and hurried to Zhu Youjian.

He rushed towards the fire and smoke, shouting:
"Quick, quick, didn't you see that Kunning Palace was on fire?"

"Put out the fire in Kunning Palace!"

The crowd suddenly panicked. The palace maids and eunuchs began to shout immediately. Even the guard Shen Lian, who had been waiting, ran over in a hurry.

Did something really happen? If something unexpected really happened, even if I, the general flag, had ten lives, it would not be enough for me to kill.

Empress Zhang walked quickly into Kunning Palace. Her sleeves were big and tight, making her very uncomfortable. She almost fell several times.

What frightened Empress Zhang even more was that the closer she got to Kunning Palace, the quieter the road became, and the air was filled with an indescribable fragrance.

real or fake……

Only then did Queen Zhang breathe a sigh of relief.

Her good brother was actually fine. He just sat down without caring whether the floor was dirty or not.

"Your Majesty!" a voice came from behind. Empress Zhang shouted sternly, pretending to teach him a lesson.

Zhu Youjian was startled, and when he looked at Empress Zhang, a smile appeared on his face: "Sister-in-law, you are here, come quickly, go grill the meat!"

Empress Zhang was so angry that her face turned blue. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

In the eyes of Queen Zhang, her husband, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was sitting on the ground, eating skewers like other palace maids and eunuchs.

He has none of the Confucian spirit, and doesn't look like a king.

Zhu Youjian laughed, picked up a bamboo stick, handed it to Empress Zhang's mouth, and said, "Sister-in-law, come and try the barbecue, it tastes good!"

Empress Zhang's face darkened and she was about to lose her temper. Zhu Youjian was really annoying. But the aroma of the barbecue was so tempting that Empress Zhang smelled her breath.

This fragrance is hard to resist.

Empress Zhang took the mutton and went to get the barbecue. But now, she didn't know how to deal with this fragrant mutton.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhu Youjian, only to see that his face was covered in grease. The way he ate was totally inconsistent with the image of a king.

She focused her attention on her good sister and sister-in-law, Queen Zhou. My God, she was the ruler of a country after all, and she became excited about eating barbecue.

One skewer melts in your mouth, and the juices overflow with every bite.

"Yes! Sister-in-law!"

Zhu Youjian personally demonstrated it to Empress Zhang. The roasted meat melted in the mouth and the aroma was everywhere.

Seeing other people eating like this, Empress Zhang felt a little hungry and almost couldn't help putting the skewers into her mouth. Her movements were slow and elegant, and she tried to make herself look gentle and dignified.

"How is it?" Queen Zhou stood up and handed a roasted beef to the emperor.

"Delicious!" Empress Zhang muttered in her heart, but on the surface she looked tough and said stubbornly: "Not bad!"

While saying this, Empress Zhang took a skewer of roasted mutton from her sister-in-law, turned around, covered it with her sleeve, and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's so delicious!" Empress Zhang wiped her red lips and whispered to Zhu Youjian: "Don't you look at your current status and what you are doing? As the ruler of a country, what do you have to do?"

Good food must be good food, and Empress Zhang still needs to teach Zhu Youjian a lesson.

Zhu Youjian touched his face and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand! I know what to do!"

"I'm glad you know it!" Queen Zhang waved her hand, turned around and left gracefully.

"Come over here!" After walking for a while, Empress Zhang finally couldn't resist the delicious food in front of her. She had been eating simple meals these days and was already starving.

Zhu Youjian said: "Okay!"

It seems that the best way to calm a woman down is to eat. As the saying goes, if you want to win a woman's heart, you must win her heart.

Zhu Tan understood that although this sentence was said to men, there were similarities between men and women.

After Empress Zhang left, Shen Lian, wearing a flying fish robe, came forward and said, "Your Majesty!"

The general still had a serious look on his face and kept his head down.

Zhu Youjian didn't even look at Shen Lian, he just concentrated on eating his barbecue.

The Ming Dynasty did not have as advanced technology as modern times, nor did it have as many condiments.

However, the taste of this skewer of lamb is not much inferior to the current barbecue, and it is even better in terms of authentic taste.

To be honest, Zhu Tan feels that the barbecue in the past is similar to the barbecue now, because people in the past raised black wild boars, so the barbecue was not as greasy as the wild boars today, but more delicious.

This is the one small benefit Zhu Tan got on Earth.

If possible, he really hopes that he can learn all the modern dishes of the Ming Dynasty, and then find the best chef in the Ming Dynasty.

But that was just his idea.

"Get up!" Zhu Youjian handed over a skewer and said, "Eat!"

"I dare not!" Shen Lian declined.

"How dare I!"

Everyone agreed.

Feng Yuxiu, who was following behind him, had just recovered. He really couldn't stand the smell. His saliva was almost flowing out, but he couldn't speak.

"Just take it with you if I tell you to!" Zhu Youjian said. At this point, being polite would be meaningless.

A group of people were discussing and sharing the food, and the barbecue was getting faster and faster.

"Your Majesty, this lamb leg is absolutely amazing and tastes great! Shen Lian said, "This is similar to the West!"

Zhu Youjian asked curiously, "Have you eaten it?"

“I tasted it in the Western Regions, and it’s indeed the Western way of grilling!”

Except for Shen Lian, no one could eat such barbecue. There was a kind of barbecue in the Western Regions. He had seen it somewhere when he went to the Western Regions!

"He is indeed a veteran!" Zhu Youjian exclaimed.

That's true. Barbecue has existed in ancient times, but it was not so popular during the Ming Dynasty, especially in a place like the imperial palace where etiquette is strict.

"Your Majesty! You cooked me! This is the most delicious food we have ever tasted!"

Feng Yuxiu was eating the skewers happily. Deep in his heart, he was really obsessed with Zhu Youjian.

She always thought he was an emperor, but she didn't know that he had superb medical skills. Not only could he save people from danger, he was also a great cook!
Chen Fan calculated that the dishes he cooked were just that much.

He was the king of a country, but he was roasted and eaten by palace maids, eunuchs and Jinyiwei.

As night fell, everyone dispersed and the barbecue party came to an end.

There aren't many people left.

Wang Chengen held a lamp, and four guards stood beside him. Empress Zhou was so tired that she fell asleep while holding Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to leave.

He noticed that there were still some pieces of meat left in the jar carved with a giant wind dragon. Zhu Youjian felt that it should not be wasted, so he strung the remaining pieces of meat together with a rope.

There are five strings in total.

During the barbecue process, Zhu Youjian fell asleep and closed his eyes. When he woke up again, there were only four skewers left in front of him.

He looked around and saw Wang Chengen holding a lamp in his hand. He looked down and seemed to be snoring and staggering as he walked. Farther away, Shen Lian and others did not notice this side. Some looked to the north, some looked to the sky, and listened vigilantly to everything around them.

It's just that no one is paying attention to this side.

Not to mention Queen Zhou, as she had fallen asleep long ago.

That’s not right. How could the mutton disappear by itself?
With great doubt and confusion, Zhu Youjian closed his eyes again. After three breaths, he opened his eyes again.

How did four skewers become three?

This is too ridiculous. Are there ghosts in the Forbidden City?

Zhu Youjian became alert and looked around vigilantly.

That bastard Wang Chengen was holding a lantern, touching the fish and laughing secretly.

The four Jinyiwei stood there as if nothing had happened.

Queen Zhou put her arms around his neck and expressed her love to him gently!
Is there really a ghost?
Theoretically, this is impossible! Unless it is a high-level invisible supernatural being.

Isn't this scientific?
In the third chapter, Zhu Youjian closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, deliberately leaving a gap between his eyes, then looked at the skewers of meat on the grill and squinted his eyes slightly.

Zhu Youjian didn't move, even his squinted eyes felt a little painful. His eyes closed in an instant and opened again the next second.

One skewer of mutton is gone, and there are two skewers left!
This is incredible, isn't it? How can someone run that fast?

Looking around, the public did not notice anything unusual.

She glanced at Shen Lian, and Shen Lian turned his head as well. Their eyes met, and Feng Yuxiu also looked over.

In the end, the four of them just stared at each other.

Shen Lian said calmly: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a bit of sharpness, "Has anyone tasted my barbecue?"

Although this possibility is not high, it is not impossible. These four Jinyiwei are all highly skilled in martial arts. Maybe one of them can snatch the barbecue when Zhu Youjian is distracted.

Shen Lian and Feng Yuxiu were both confused, and the four of them said in unison: "Your Majesty, we don't have it!"

He swallowed and looked at Zhu Youjian, fearing that he might become suspicious, so he quickly waved his hand with an innocent look:
"No! If you don't trust my men, then don't question my character! I wouldn't go that far!"

Zhu Youjian glanced at Feng Yuxiu with a half-smile, and thought that it couldn't be Feng Yuxiu, because he didn't dare to do that.

But who is it?

Everyone's attention was focused on the barbecue. An autumn breeze blew by.

Half an hour passed and there was no movement.

Wang Chengen summoned up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, are you dazzled?"

"Emperor, have you not slept well recently? Are you blurry-eyed?"

Zhu Youjian had long expected that these people would become suspicious of him. Looking at their puzzled eyes, he wanted to slap them in the face.

"Don't believe it? How about we both close our eyes at the same time?"

Following Zhu Youjian's words, everyone started to act.

Everyone closed their eyes at the same time, and after a second, they turned their gaze back to the barbecue.

God!

It's like a magic trick.

What exactly is going on?

Wang Chengen was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a bizarre scene in all these days.

He trembled and asked, "Your Majesty, is there really a ghost here?"

Haunted?
your sister!
Just as Zhu Youjian was about to start cursing, Wang Chengen said slowly:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there are many wronged souls in this palace. Every year, some palace maids and eunuchs seek death. Could it be these people?"

Shen Lian remembered that during the reign of Emperor Tianqi, several people jumped into the Longjing in the palace. The Jinyiwei was supposed to investigate the case, but was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian at the time.

Shen Lian wanted to speak, but Feng Yuxiu beside him said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that two years ago, a man jumped into the Dragon Well in the palace!"

Zhu Youjian was speechless for a moment.

"Bullshit! You think they are wronged souls? What a joke! If that's the case, doesn't that mean that the wronged souls in this world have already filled up the world?"

Zhu Youjian interrupted what Feng Yuxiu was about to say because he really didn't like this topic.

In the eyes of the ancients, superstition is a very common thing, but Zhu Tan is at least a good child of the 21st century. He has seen many alien creatures and has never seen any ghosts!
Are you talking to Zhu Tan? Are you kidding?
"I have something to say! There are no ghosts in the world!" Zhu Youjian said seriously. Superstition is not advisable, and the shit in the brain must be washed away, otherwise it will only bring more trouble to oneself.

"You know, humans don't have spirits, but they have their own spirits. Humans have their own nervous systems, and the nervous systems naturally create their own thinking!"

After a pause, Zhu Youjian continued:

"Once a person dies, their neurons die, and they have no soul."

Zhu Youjian spoke with great enthusiasm, but everyone present was a little confused. What was going on? What was going on? What was going on?

"Your Majesty is right, there are no ghosts in the world!"

Shen Lian said: "You are right.

Wang Chengen fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty is right! I deserve to die! You are bewitching people!"

The other guards nodded, expressing their agreement with Zhu Youjian's opinion.

Only Feng Yuxiu shook his head and said nothing.

He really couldn't figure out what Zhu Youjian's identity was. He was a king who believed that imperial power was granted by God and that the king was the embodiment of God on earth.

He is obviously a cultivator, but he keeps talking about science and the existence of ghosts?

This seems a little inappropriate and a little hard to justify.

Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen, then at Shen Lian, then at Feng Yuxiu, then at Liu Ruo, and then at Xu Changnian.

Then he turned his attention to his barbecue.

Even the barbecue is finished!
Are there really ghosts in this world? (End of this chapter)
