Chapter 831: The True Biography of Liu Hongjian (Eleventh Update, 5/5 for Book Friends' Monthly Passes)
Zhu Ci's inner library is in a row of buildings not far from the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen likes to drink, Zhu Ci has inherited this characteristic, and he will have two cups if he has nothing to do.
The two of them have a common advantage, that is, they rarely drink too much, and they stop ordering.
Whether it is Chongzhen or Zhu Ci, there is never a shortage of fine wine in the inner library, and the most precious of them is the more than 130 jars of old wine left by Chongzhen back then.
These wines were originally some years old, and they were collected by Chongzhen from the outside into the inner library.
Whenever the country encountered a major disaster, or the ministers fought against him, Chongzhen would drink some wine to release the resentment in his heart.
Then Chongzhen died, and this inner library naturally became Zhu Ci's inner library again, and he himself cherished the wine left by his father, of course, those wines Liu Hong had coveted for a long time.
But Zhu Ci is usually reluctant to drink, let alone give away, and only before going out will he take out one or two jars to reward Liu Hongji.
"Am I in?" Liu Hongjian stood at the door of the inner library and smiled evilly at Zhu Ci.
"Go, go, go, take as much as you can, but don't give it to me." Zhu Ci said indifferently.
A jar of wine weighs thirty pounds, no matter how strong you are, you can take two jars to death, after all, this thing is not only heavy, but the jar also occupies a special area, and no one can take three jars at once.
After Liu Hong gradually entered, in order to prevent Zhu Ci from peeking, he also locked the door, and then swaggered to admire Zhu Ci's underwear.
The room I just entered was stored with silk brocade from all over the world, which Uncle Chongzhen gave him a lot back then, and now there are more than a dozen boxes of inventory at home.
Further inside are boxes of neatly listed pearl agate, jadeite, jade bracelets, Liu Hongjian is not rare, when he raided the house, he did not stuff it into the house.
After that, it was Zhu Ci's small treasury, Zhu Ci had endured hardships, and his ability to hide silver was no worse than Chongzhen's, and the father and son never used silver tickets to hide silver, all of them were genuine gold ingots and silver ingots.
Zhu Ci is not afraid that Liu Hong will gradually take it, this thing is a thief, and if there is no silver ticket, an adult can't even take two thousand taels.
Besides, the two are the major shareholders of Xishan Shanghe, and Liu Hongjian doesn't care about this bit of bits and pieces.
After walking through several rooms, Liu Hong gradually found the entrance to the cellar, and there were candles burning in the cellar, which naturally had eunuchs come to clean and replace them every day.
As soon as you enter the cellar, you are greeted by the aroma of wine.
My obedient, such a large cellar, Liu Hong was amazed by the scene he gradually saw.
The rows of jars are neatly arranged, wiped cleanly, and each row is even labeled with the name of the wine, the name of the winery, the year of production, and so on.
After searching for a long time, Liu Hongjian finally found Chongzhen, Zhu Ci and the old Liaodong roaster he loved very much in a corner, with more than 100 altars.
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, I'm sorry!" After speaking, Liu Hong gradually rolled up his sleeves and began to move into the ring.
It took two quarters of an hour to empty the wine jar with sweat, looking at the empty wine cellar, Liu Hong suddenly felt a little cruel, and then took out a jar from the ring and put it on the ground.
"I'm going to leave you a memory!" Liu Hong gradually smiled and was about to leave the cellar.
After taking two steps, he felt that it was not like that to go out empty-handed, so he immediately picked up a pot of drunken immortals thirty years ago and aged it out of the cellar.
The door creaked open from inside, and Liu Hong gradually walked out with a smile on his face.
"Oh Liu Qing, did you drink it secretly? Why did you go there for so long and lock the door, I thought you had fallen in! Zhu Ci said with a smile.
"Alas, where can I be, it's just that the emperor's inner library is too big, and I almost got lost in it." Liu Hong gradually complimented a few words casually, and Zhu Ci became even happier.
"Why did you only take a pot of drunken immortals? Aren't you going to take the old burner? Zhu Ci was a little puzzled, Liu Hongjian did not come out with two wine jars as hard as he imagined, but only took a jar of drunken immortals who were not very valuable.
"Alas, I see that the old roast is so little left, I am embarrassed to take it, so I should leave it to you to drink.
Gotta go back first! Liu Hong gradually snorted.
"Then what's the matter, I promised you to take it as you want, I'm not that stingy person, so let's do it, I'll send you two jars later, no, three jars!" Zhu Ci pretended to be generous.
"Okay, then thank you." After speaking, Liu Hong gradually carried the drunken immortal and walked away.
Zhu Ci looked at Liu Hong's departing back and faintly felt that something was wrong, the Liu Hong he knew was not like this, what was going on?
Zhu Ci pushed open the door with questions and entered his inner library.
A moment later, Zhu Ci's wail came from the wine cellar deep in the inner library!
……
After obtaining the approval of the two queen mothers, the next step was how to deal with the courtiers, which Zhu Ci became more and more handy.
The next morning, after the court disposed of the courtiers' transcripts, Zhu Ci directly expressed his decision to drive the expedition, and explained to the ministers why the expedition was carried out.
The rhetoric is basically the same as Liu Hongji's rhetoric yesterday, but it hides the function of the imperial driver's personal expedition to improve his ability to deal with courtiers.
It's just that the courtiers are all smoking, how can they not know these ways, the courtiers actually don't want the emperor to be too close to the army, that would be too unfriendly to them.
They hoped that the emperor would stay in the palace every day honestly and handle government affairs, and it was best not to have any contact with the army.
Of course, none of this can be said explicitly, Zhu Ci is no longer the stupid boy he was before.
Even Zhang Tianlu and others guessed that this should be the idea of the king of Anguo, after all, the last time the emperor drove the expedition in person, it was his proposal.
If Liu Hongjian is here, he will definitely scold Zhang Tianlu for being a dog blood sprinkler, he is really more wronged than Dou E, Lao Tzu was forced by this dog emperor to let him drive the expedition in person, do you believe it?
Regarding the opposition of the courtiers, Zhu Ci wisely chose to treat it coldly and immediately ordered to withdraw from the court.
As soon as he went to the court on the third day, the ministers did not mention government affairs, and directly began to ask Zhu Ci about the matter of yesterday's imperial conquest, but Zhu Ci still announced his retirement from the court without saying a word.
On the fourth and fifth days, it was still the same, and the courtiers also wondered in their hearts, and even gathered in Zhang Tianlu's mansion for a small meeting, but they still didn't know what Zhu Ci was going to do.
In the early sixth day, Zhu Ci rarely cared about the body of Zhang Tianlu's important ministers, and not only crowned Zhang Tianlu as a prince, but also gave other courtiers various honorary positions according to their official positions.
Zhu Ci had already obtained the true biography of Liu Hongjian and knew what these non-corrupt courtiers wanted, and sure enough, the ministers did not mention the matter of the royal conquest on this day, but they did not agree.
On the seventh day, the ministers happily came to the early court, but they waited until Zhu Ci's decree.
The will is clear, he Zhu Ci wants to drive the personal expedition, as an important minister of the country, he must fulfill his duties during the imperial driving and personal expedition, and must not be passive and slack off.
Once he is aware of it, not only must he be dismissed, but all his honor must be withdrawn.
