Chapter 50 The Emperor Takes a Sauna Monarch and Ministers Sincerely See Each Other

After Zhang Zhimu left, Emperor Chongzhen went around all the rooms and even the bathrooms in the large suite, and exclaimed while watching, "Compared with this, those places on the ship and the train are nothing!" ”

Queen Zhou also said with a smile on her face: "Yes! Your Majesty, I really don't know how the people of Yaogang can build such a hotel. I was so nervous that I almost made a joke when I took the elevator! ”

"It's the first time I've taken an elevator! Hehe! Zhang Dongjia said, let me pay attention, or jump! Emperor Chongzhen turned on the faucet in the bathroom, closed it again, and said, "Look! This water switch is all golden! ”

Due to the taboo of using dragons, Zhang Zhimu named the faucet a water switch. Because the emperor compares himself to the true dragon emperor, it is a big taboo to make a water switch and call it a water dragon!

"Huh! I watched! There are two water switches in that tub, the gold is hot water and the silver is cold water! Queen Zhou said, "The cold air switch on the outside can adjust the size of the cold air." If it's cold at night, you can turn it off! ”

After carefully reading the entire large suite, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the sofa beautifully, as if he had eaten honey. As soon as I got off the train today, Emperor Chongzhen's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Everyone in the world knows that Yaogang is a very incredible place. The influence here has long since far surpassed that of Beijing. But as soon as I got off the car, all the big bosses of the kiln gang knelt down and shouted three long live!

It's a pity that I didn't expect to receive such a reception here, and I refused a lot of courtesy, otherwise I should have spoken a few words and let the reporters in Yaogang take a few more photos. Maybe the kiln people can still record it and broadcast it on the radio station. I really regret it. I really didn't expect the formation at the station. After leaving the station, the road was not far to the hotel, but on both sides of the road, there were soldiers dressed neatly and standing straight and saluting. It's beautiful to think of all this. Now everyone in Yaogang knows that I, the emperor, are here!

Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of tea and blurted out so beautifully, "No matter what the kiln gang looks like?" I'm still their emperor! ”

Wang Gonggong, who happened to lead Gonggong Li in, heard this sentence, "Oops! Your Majesty! On the elevator, Xiao Lizi also said that now the kiln is talking about the emperor everywhere! ”

Seeing Gonggong Li kneeling, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "I have been here for so long, why did you show up?" ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly said, "Oops! Your Majesty! I want to see you sooner, too! But I want to participate in the emperor's security work today! In charge of the guards, there are two generals Li Jing and Yang Jing on the side of Yaogang, and I am here to participate! These days we have been working on various security options. The kiln people are too careful in doing things, and everything must have a plan, and even have to be printed in a small book. There can be no ambiguity about what everyone is responsible for! No, the guards are evacuated before we can each leave! ”

Emperor Chongzhen is in a really good mood today, "Okay! Get up! You've done a great job! Seeing Gonggong Li standing up, he said, "You have to follow the Yaogang people to learn and do things." There's a reason why they're where they are today! ”

"Yes! Emperor! Gonggong Li hurriedly agreed.

"In the evening, Zhang Dongjia is going to invite us to a banquet, and after eating at noon, please come to a meeting!" Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let's touch first, we didn't say a word at the station." At the dinner, let's talk about it, don't let the kiln people think that we are all eyes and can't even speak! ”

"Is it in the small conference room or is it here?" Wang Gonggong asked, "I just took a look, there are large conference rooms and small conference rooms in their hotel, and the conditions inside are very good!" ”

"Oh!" Emperor Chongzhen said, "What else is in their hotel, let's go and see!" ”

"Hey! Your Majesty, this hotel has everything! I also hurriedly took a look at what we could use! The prince said, "There are many other places, and I haven't had time to see them!" ”

"Let's go! Let's check it out now! Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sit still when he heard this.

The prince led Emperor Chongzhen to take the elevator and began to visit various places in the hotel, and along the way, Emperor Chongzhen saw that his princes and princesses were not idle, they were all wandering around.

Coming to the small conference hall that the prince said, Emperor Chongzhen really liked it very much. This small conference room is very brightly lit and the long conference table is very beautiful. There are several such meeting rooms in a row.

Emperor Chongzhen sat down at the end of the conference table, feeling very good, and suddenly said to the prince: "Go!" Invite all the adults, and we'll have a meeting here! ”

When the prince heard the emperor's words, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty! Didn't you say, after lunch? ”

"I've changed my mind! Look how nice this room is! "Emperor Chongzhen now really wants to hold a meeting in this small conference room.

The prince hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work!" ”

"What did you say?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little angry when he heard the prince hesitate to say this!

The prince hurriedly knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor is angry! The emperor is angry! Emperor! The adults may not be in their rooms, but I see that the adults are almost all out. Most people, most of them go to the sauna downstairs to take a sauna! Now go and invite them back immediately, it's not easy to find them all at once! ”

"What? What does sauna mean? Emperor Chongzhen was angry, but he didn't understand what a sauna was.

"It's just a shower!" The prince said, "There's a bathhouse down there. Not only can you take a bath, but there is also a sauna made of volcanic stone. There you can take a sauna. I haven't been there before, but it's said to be very comfortable! ”

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen finally gave Qi Le, "Hehe! Interesting, our pillars of the Ming Dynasty just lived, and they didn't care about anything, so they all went to the bathhouse, and what kind of sauna do they want to shave? Hehe! Interesting! Walk! I'm going to see what sauna can do to our grown-ups! ”

"Oops! Your Majesty, will you go there? The prince immediately wanted to dissuade the emperor, but he didn't dare, so he had to remind the emperor.

"What's so bad? The adults in the court are all going, why can't I go? Lead the way! "Emperor Chongzhen is more real now!

If you want to say that when Emperor Chongzhen left the small conference room, half of it was angry, and half of it was curious, when he came to the sauna, he was completely replaced by curiosity as soon as he entered the door!

As soon as the waiter looked at the costume, he knew that the emperor was coming, so he quickly knelt down and saluted. When the emperor saw that the waiter was kneeling, he said, "Get up!" Lead the way! ”

The waiter guided the emperor to the sauna and changing places. The VIP room can be changed separately, and the prince and the prince Li did not use the waiter to go in to serve the emperor to change clothes, they went in to serve the emperor in person and changed into loose bathrobes. The waiter saw that only the emperor had changed into a bathrobe, and wanted to say: If you don't change your clothes, you are not allowed to go in! But I didn't dare to say it.

However, Emperor Chongzhen could see that these waiters were about to speak, "Is there anything else to say?" ”

"Don't dare the emperor!" The waiter said, "Our general rule is to change into a bathrobe before you can enter!" ”

The prince blushed and shouted, "Bold! "Because he and Gonggong Li are both eunuchs, they never change clothes in front of outsiders.

How could Emperor Chongzhen not know this, and said, "Okay! Make an exception today! Just let them in like this! ”

The waiter led in front, and Wang Gonggong and Li Gonggong accompanied Emperor Chongzhen into the misty bathing hall.

As soon as he came in, Emperor Chongzhen was a little dumbfounded!

The waiter pointed to a pool for a while and said, "This is a salt bath!" After a while, he pointed to another pool and said, "This is a ginseng bath!" ”

"It's a mineral bath!"

“”

and so on, and so on, which dazzled Emperor Chongzhen.

Since there were no other guests in the front building, the pool was steaming, but there was no one. Emperor Chongzhen followed the waiter around a corner, and a person suddenly stood in a pool in front of him, who covered his lower body with a towel and shouted timidly, "Emperor!" "Because he was in the pool, he couldn't kneel down and salute, and this person was suddenly naked, and he didn't know what to do! It looks very embarrassing!

Emperor Chongzhen was amused! It turned out to be Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, covering his lower body with a towel in the pool. Obviously, Zhang Jinyan didn't expect the emperor to come here suddenly, and he didn't know what to do all of a sudden!

Zhang Jinyan is so angry in his heart! Just a few of them came down together, and the others went to the sauna! I was greedy for this water and soaked it for a while, but the emperor blocked it. What Zhang Jinyan thought was that they swore to the emperor on the train that they would never disgrace the emperor, and now I don't know what Emperor Chongzhen will think of him.

At this time, not only was the emperor happy, but the prince and the prince Li couldn't help but laugh and bend over! The embarrassed military department Shangshu ate their hearts!

Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked: "Aiqing!" How's the water? "It can be regarded as relieving Zhang Jinyan.

"Oops! Your Majesty, this water is so good! Zhang Jinyan hurriedly said, "It's inconvenient for the minister to salute!" The emperor forgives the sins! ”

"No need to be polite! No need to be polite! Sit down! Emperor Chongzhen said, "I will take a dip with you!" ”

As he spoke, Emperor Chongzhen took off his bathrobe and put his feet into the water. As a result, as soon as he got into the water, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the water was too hot and couldn't get down all of a sudden, so he sat on the edge of the pool first, put his feet in the water, and wanted to get used to it first.

Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, just wanted to go into the water and sit down, but when he saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not come down all at once, he didn't dare to sit down, and also sat on the platform.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a really good mood today, and he didn't want to embarrass Zhang Jinyan too much, so he asked, "I said Aiqing!" How did you first get here and know that there was such a great place! If I hadn't wanted to invite you to a meeting, I wouldn't have known you'd all come here! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words scared Zhang Jinyan to death, it turned out that Emperor Chongzhen was looking for them for a meeting, but they all came here. Zhang Jinyan hurriedly said: "Oops! The emperor forgives the sins! We're delaying a big deal! When we got here, we saw pamphlets in our rooms about the hotel. I didn't understand what this sauna meant, so I asked the waiter. As a result, the waiters all said that the sauna is the most worthwhile place in the hotel. And all guests staying in the hotel can take a bath for free with the key card! We thought that we had taken the train last night and that there would be nothing to do in the morning, so we were supposed to take a shower, so we all came over! I didn't expect to delay the big event, the emperor forgives the sin! ”

"Oops!" Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and sat down in the pool and said, "Come on!" Forgive what sins? Didn't I come too? Oh, this water is so good, come down and take a good dip! ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so generous today, Zhang Jinyan's tears almost didn't come down, and he hurriedly sat down in the pool! The heart said that he and the emperor were in a pool, I don't know if it's a sin? But in Beijing, this is unthinkable. Thinking about it again, it's like this anyway, so love can be as much as it is! I can take a good bath in a place like this, and when I go out, the emperor will kill myself and admit it!

Comfortably soaked in the water, Emperor Chongzhen closed his eyes, there was no beautiful word, after a while, Emperor Chongzhen opened his eyes and asked: "What about the adults?" Why are you the only one here! ”

"They're going to the sauna! I coveted the water, and I didn't go! It just so happened that the emperor was here! Zhang Jinyan replied.

"Soak with me for a while, and we'll go to the sauna together in a while!"

"Good!" This honor fell on his head all of a sudden, and Zhang Jinyan nodded happily. Zhang Jinyan said in his heart, is it really a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse? Zhang Jinyan, who was very depressed because he was blocked by Emperor Chongzhen, felt like a flower in his heart. The heart said: When I returned to the capital, I would soak in a pool with the emperor and accompany the emperor to take a sauna, which was enough to show off everywhere.

"Hey! You said that this kiln gang is interesting, everything can make so many famous halls, even the bathhouse can make flowers! Hehe! Emperor Chongzhen said while soaking.

"Your Majesty! Under this building, there is a swimming pool, gymnasium, billiards room, table tennis room, and many other places. We haven't been there yet! According to the waiter, it is also a fun place! Zhang Jinyan said.

"Who usually lives here?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the price is unbelievably expensive!" ”

The waiter behind him hurriedly came over and said, "Go back to the emperor!" Wealthy businessmen usually live here! A lot of times you can't stay without booking in advance! The building at the back has just been built, and the guest rooms are still not enough! However, the kind of big suite you live in, those rich businessmen will not give them to live in no matter how much money they pay, it needs people with a certain status to live! ”

"Oh! What identity do I need to live? Emperor Chongzhen asked.

"I don't know about this!" The waiter said, "As far as I know, that big suite, before the emperor came up, it seems that no one has lived in it!" ”

"Oh!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart was very comfortable. The heart said, only I, the emperor, can live in such a place, which is right!

Zhang Jinyan interjected: "Your Majesty! If we hadn't come to Yaogang with you, we wouldn't have dared to live here with our own money. It's not something that the average person can afford to live in! Even if we live here, in addition to the places that provide us with free meals, there are some places we can't afford to go to! ”

"Huh! It's so good here! However, it is also a gold cave! Emperor Chongzhen also said with emotion.

"I heard the waiter say that in addition to the guests coming, several adults from the kiln gang don't often come to such a place!" Zhang Jinyan said.

"I don't think the Zhang Dongjia is a person who pays attention to luxury!" Emperor Chongzhen said.

Soaking all over the body, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Go!" Let's go to the sauna too! ”

Zhang Jinyan and Emperor Chongzhen met each other so sincerely, they were really not used to it, and when they got out of the pool, they put on bathrobes and came to the sauna together. The prince and the prince Li who accompanied them together suffered a crime, and the clothes they were wearing were already soaked, but they had no choice but to dare to leave.

In the sauna, Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Jiantai, a university scholar, have already come in to steam for the second time. After they had finished steaming once, they went to soak again, and this time they wanted to steam again. Just as they had just poured a ladle of water on the volcanic rock, and the two of them were enjoying the steaming heat, the door suddenly opened. Obviously, the person who came in did not understand that the door of the sauna should be opened and closed quickly, and the door was always open, and the temperature went down all of a sudden. The angry Liu Jiantai almost scolded.

But suddenly, seeing the people coming in, Liu Jiantai forcibly stopped his open mouth. Take a closer look, and see that it is really the emperor who has come in! The two knelt naked in embarrassment.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Come on! Don't be polite here! Get up! I'm going to steam this sauna with you! ”

Zhang Jinyan, who came in with the emperor, also said: "Two adults, sit down!" It's not a big place! The emperor said, steam with everyone! You two already have experience! Let's talk about how to steam? ”

Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Jiantai, a scholar, saw Zhang Jinyan and the emperor coming in together, and they felt awkward! I don't know if it's jealousy or resentment that Zhang Jinyan made them ugly! However, when Zhang Jinyan said this, Liu Jiantai hurriedly said: "The emperor sits down first, and I will add water to the emperor!" Seeing the emperor sit down, Liu Jiantai picked up the scoop and pointed to the sauna stove and said, "The stones on the emperor's stove are all volcanic rocks, which are said to be very good for the body. It's already heated, and the heat will come up as soon as I pour water, so be careful, Emperor! ”

"Aiqing! Here you go! I'm steaming with you today! "Emperor Chongzhen is actually a little anxious.

Liu Jiantai poured a scoop of water on the blazing volcanic stone, and with a "sting" sound, a stream of hot air erupted out! Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect it to be so hot, "Oops", but Liu Jiantai was frightened, and hurriedly looked at Emperor Chongzhen, not knowing what to do. Emperor Chongzhen was sprayed with hot air, although it was stimulated, but the sweat immediately flowed out, and he was refreshed, and he immediately waved his hand at Liu Jiantai. Liu Jiantai slowly poured some more water. The temperature in the sauna was very high, and several people were sweating and sweating, although it was very hot but very refreshing. After a while, the temperature dropped a little, and Emperor Chongzhen said: "It's so cool!" No wonder I couldn't find a few of you for a meeting! It's good to run here! ”

When Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, and Liu Jiantai, a scholar, heard this, a lot of sweat flowed out of their bodies!

Until he couldn't stand it anymore, Emperor Chongzhen and everyone came out to flush under the shower head, and Emperor Chongzhen said while flushing: "Okay! That's nice! I will definitely ask Zhang Dongjia to get us such a sauna in Beijing! When we get tired in the future, we can all steam it! ”

After the rain, everyone accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to choose a hot water pool and soak in it! At this time, although Zheng Sanjun and Liu Jiantai still felt weird, they were not so nervous like Zhang Jinyan, and talked about the experience of Zheng Sauna with Emperor Chongzhen. Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "That's not right! The number of people is wrong! ”

Liu Jiantai understood that Emperor Chongzhen was saying that there were still a few adults who hadn't seen it, so he pointed to the place blocked by a row of curtains behind him and said, "It's all there!" ”

"Inside?" Emperor Chongzhen looked over and didn't understand.

"Huh! They massage it in after the bath! Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the ministry, smiled and said.

"Oops! There's a lot to say about it! Emperor Chongzhen said, "We'll steam it again in a while, and we'll also go to take a bath and press it!" Turning his head, Emperor Chongzhen said with some dissatisfaction: "If I didn't want to have a meeting with you, I wouldn't know that you came here to enjoy yourself!" Don't tell me about this good thing! ”

Liu Jiantai said: "Oops! Your Majesty, we heard that this place is good, but no one has ever been here, and we don't know what it is, so we want to come to explore it first, and then I will talk to you, okay, can I tell you? ”

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen was in the lounge of the sauna and held a meeting with the ministers of civil and military affairs.

Emperor Chongzhen was refreshed, and his words were happy: "Everyone! Aiqing! As soon as we arrived, we took a shower together! It's all very happy! I won't talk about the superfluous words today! Today, everyone has also seen the welcome ceremony of the kiln people, which is particularly grand! Originally, there were still many ceremonies for the kiln people, but I asked them to cancel it! In fact, now that I think about it, I can't stand this arrangement! I should tell you a few words! The kiln people like this! The last time I went to Kaifeng to participate in the new river channel, I knew! I think their welcome reception tonight will be very grand, and we can't let people look down on it! If I want to speak, you civil and martial artists must have a representative to say a few words! Their habit of speaking is not too short, not too long! Just say a little more politely! ”

After that, the ministers deliberated, arranged the speaker, and talked about the content to be said! From Emperor Chongzhen to the ministers, they all attach great importance to today's dinner!

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen said: "I remind you, don't drink too much tonight!" Many people from all walks of life in the kiln will come! They're watching us, too! ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! That's fine! ”

"No, it won't! Emperor! ”

The ministers said one after another.

Lying on the sofa bed in the lounge, the background music floated in, and the monarchs and ministers were a little reluctant to leave.

However, Emperor Chongzhen thought about what he was going to say at the dinner, and felt that under the attention of thousands of people, he would definitely find the feeling of being an emperor when he spoke. Emperor Chongzhen can't wait for the dinner!
