Chapter 491: Don't Abandon the World

It is hard to imagine that a Ming emperor moved so civilian, many things were carried by Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan and Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others, carrying all kinds of things from the Qianqing Palace out of the palace gate, down the jade steps, and moving to the carriage parked outside the palace.

Very warm scene, Qin Kan vaguely remembered that in his previous life when he was a small salesman, he helped his friends move, three or two people threw the simple home to the small van, and did not clean up when they moved to a new home, closed the door, and called their friends to go to the barbecue stall to get a handful of skewers, a piece of beer, and a cup of change was a celebration of the housewarming.

Reincarnated as a human being, Qin Kan found this warm and simple feeling again.

There are a lot of bits and pieces, full of four carriages, Zhu Houzhao is still happy to do this, busy sweating but smiling, from the inside to the outside reveals a real relief and relaxation, since the Hongzhi Emperor went to the immortal, the palace brought Zhu Houzhao the feeling is too depressing and too dull, until today, this luxurious and luxurious cage has finally opened a gap, and the birds in the cage are finally going to break through this gap and soar into the sky.

Gu Dayong was the thinnest, and after moving back and forth a few times, he couldn't stand it, panting and begging: "Your Majesty, there are more than 10,000 eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, why does Your Majesty want to move it yourself?" Old Slave ...... The old slave couldn't stand it anymore. ”

Zhu Houzhao grinned and didn't answer.

Qin Kan was also tired enough, but he still smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu." When we are relatives, we want to do it ourselves, others do not have this grace, the leopard room is the real home of your majesty, the real home needs real relatives and friends to move in person, as long as outsiders get their hands, the leopard room has not become another palace? ”

Gu Da looked at Qin Kan in confusion.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qin Kan with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You still know me best, yes, my own home." I had to move it with my relatives and friends. That's the beginning of a good time. ”

Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others are still confused.

For the eunuchs, Zhu Houzhao's mind is indeed not easy to understand, and in their hearts, the emperor is powerful and powerful. Supreme and noble. Born to be commanding. They didn't even understand how important the leopard room was to Zhu Houzhao, they thought that the leopard room was just a palace that Zhu Houzhao was interested in. But I didn't know that it was Zhu Houzhao's real home, a happy land without strife and depression, and clean.

More than ten carriages were full of Zhu Houzhao's important belongings, and more than 2,000 warriors of the Forbidden Palace surrounded Zhu Houzhao and the carriage in the center, and everyone marched towards the leopard room of Xihuamen.

Driving to Chengtianmen, the ancient and heavy palace gate slowly opened, and Zhu Houzhao sat in the imperial chariot, listening to the squeaky wheels of the carriage, and his mood was inexplicably happy.

As soon as he drove out of the palace gate, he saw that on the square outside the Chengtian Gate, there were more than 100 ministers kneeling in the dark, but the leader was Yang Tinghe, a cabinet scholar, and Wang Wei, the left servant of the ministry.

Zhu Houzhao sat in the chariot for a while, and hurriedly ordered the chariot to stop, Zhu Houzhao stepped out of the chariot, bowed his waist and helped Yang Tinghe up with his own hands, and said in surprise: "Mr. Yang, what are you doing here?" ”

Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "The minister originally thought that the leopard room was just a temporary palace under His Majesty, but he didn't know that His Majesty wanted to live in the leopard room for a long time in the future......"

Zhu Houzhao was still a little timid in front of Yang Tinghe like the students of Chunfang back then.

"Mr. Yang, I said when I announced that I was going to build the leopard room on the Golden Palace, and after the leopard room was completed, I will live in Si for a long time."

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Your Majesty, do you remember when you were in the Spring Fang, the minister once punished you with a ring ruler with his own hands? ”

"Of course I remember."

Later, the minister said to His Majesty that he hoped that His Majesty would not abandon the world in the future...... The minister asked again today, Your Majesty, will you really not abandon the world? ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a long time, and asked instead of answering: "Mr. Yang, now that the court ministers are too powerful, I can't do everything at home and abroad, what I say and do, always attracts the whole house to shout and scold, I want to ask Mr., did I abandon the world, or did the world abandon me?" Is this Daming Sheji still mine? ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao's expression was gloomy, revealing a deep confusion about the future.

Zhu Houzhao was young and didn't know how to speak, and his words were extremely heart-wrenching, which frightened Yang Tinghe and the ministers behind him to kneel in the dust.

"Your Majesty, why do you say this! Why did Your Majesty say this! The ministers are not arbitrary, the ministers just want to do their best to assist His Majesty to be a wise monarch, even if there are examples of defense and opposition, their original intentions are just to hope that my Ming will take fewer detours and pay less unnecessary costs. Please give your majesty death! ”

Zhu Houzhao ignored the wailing and crying of Yang Tinghe and other ministers, and looked up at the blue sky, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Mr. Yang, I also have ambitions, my ambitions are not weaker than any of your pillar ministers, I really want to create a great cause in my lifetime, my father and many old ministers have worked hard all their lives, leaving me a good situation, I hope to create a prosperous era that is not weak Tang and Han, but whenever I want to take a small step, you will force me to take a step back, every decision I make you mercilessly seal and reject, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have no scruples to say that today is mediocre, I don't want to be mediocre, but Mr. Yang, Have the civil and military ministers given me a chance to keep me from being mediocre? ”

The more Zhu Houzhao spoke, the more choked he became, and finally burst into tears, and Yang Tinghe and others also cried and kowtowed frequently, claiming to be a capital crime.

Qin Kan, who was standing behind Zhu Houzhao, quietly stared at the thin but stubborn body in front of him, with a faint sympathy in his eyes.

He lives in the envy of all, but he is the most pitiful person in the world.

The square outside the Chengtian Gate was silent, and the monarch and ministers fell into indescribable sadness.

Each has its own helplessness, and each has its own inability to compromise.

Zhu Houzhao sniffed, wiped away his tears indiscriminately, and his tone became calm.

"Mr. Yang, I have decided to move to the leopard house, I leave the palace does not mean that I have given up the world, I just want to change places, change places and take a good look at the country under my rule. From today. The state affairs performed by the Chinese and foreign ministers of civil and military affairs are all decided by the leopard room, and the civil and military ministers and workers I summoned are all in the leopard room, and my will has been decided and cannot be changed. ”

Yang Tinghe and the other ministers glanced at each other, and bowed helplessly: "The ministers obey the order." ”

****************************************************************

The carriage entered the leopard room, and hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly came out to greet them, and a large number of people knelt in front of the leopard room.

Zhang Yong led people to move important things into the main hall of the leopard house, and Zhu Houzhao stood in front of the heavy vermilion lacquer door of the leopard room, his expression full of confusion.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was depressed, Qin Kan smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for moving to a new home." Your Majesty can be known. How do the people celebrate the housewarming? ”

"How to celebrate?"

"Invite relatives and friends, feast guests from all over the world, good wine, good food and good meat, of course. Relatives and friends who come to congratulate them are not too failures. Usually a red envelope is also wrapped. As a congratulatory gift. ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately threw away the sad and depressed mood just now, and said with a smile: "How about I also invite relatives and friends to the banquet?" ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to stick to the form. Chinese At that time, the people invited did not know how to entertain, and the people who were invited were sincerely afraid that they did not know what to give, or some Qingliu who was not afraid of death deliberately ruined the fun, and said some ugly words, and the minister felt that His Majesty had invited them, so the minister and Gu Gonggong, Ma Gonggong and others celebrated His Majesty. ”

"How to celebrate?"

"If Your Majesty can trust the craftsmanship of your majesty, your majesty is willing to make something new for your majesty to try."

On a green lawn outside the main hall of the leopard house, the little eunuchs set up an iron grill, on which the charcoal fire burned red, and next to it rested a few soft bristle brushes, as well as oil, salt, cumin, garlic juice, ginger and other spices. The small table next to the grill is filled with lamb, pork and beef, which are as thin as cicada wings and transparent and bright red cut by the chef of the imperial dining room, skewered with a thin bamboo skewer with the length of a ruler, and neatly arranged in the tray, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Qin Kan put all kinds of meat skewers on the charcoal fire of the grill in an experienced way, dipped a little vegetable oil with a brush and evenly smeared, it didn't take long for the meat skewers to sizzle, exuding a meat fragrance, and then the prepared salt, fennel, garlic juice and other seasonings were carefully sprinkled on the meat skewers, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger, Zhu Houzhaogui couldn't help but swallow saliva as the emperor, and his throat squirmed up and down for a while, and Gu Da used Ma Yongcheng and others to salivate and eagerly try.

After the heat was almost enough, Qin Kan looked down at his work, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

I was already skilled in my previous life, but I found that I seemed to be a lot unfamiliar in this life, and my work was a little unsatisfactory.

Handed over the meat skewers, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room not far away was so anxious that he stomped his feet and did not dare to step forward to stop it, according to the rules, the emperor's food must be eaten by the eunuchs below to test the poison first, and then present it after making sure that there is nothing to do, but today...... Marquis Qin personally cooked, and His Majesty was the first to taste it, if something went wrong in the middle, 10,000 cheap lives would not be enough to compensate.

Zhu Houzhao had no scruples, he took the meat skewers and ate them, Qin Kan also took a handful of meat skewers, and the two of them ate the barbecue skewers with rice wine, and in a trance seemed to return to the bustling street in the previous life, Zhu Houzhao praised while eating.

"Good stuff! This way of eating is fresh, I heard that Semu Hui and other Fanbang eat like this, but I didn't expect to finally taste it today, good! Qin Kan, you actually know this craft, why didn't you take it out earlier? ”

Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "It's just an ordinary skewer, and it's not a big deal, how dare the minister be ugly?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What you say is too modest, where is this offering ugliness, it is clearly offering treasures, and then look at what those old dogs in the imperial dining room feed me all day long, it is simply swill for feeding pigs, they are called real sacrifices." ”

When the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room heard this sentence from afar, he couldn't help but tremble, and knelt down to Zhu Houzhao in fear and pleaded guilty.

The two gentlemen and ministers drank wine on the skewers, but Ma Yongchenggu couldn't hold it back, and after eating the skewers, he simply learned the steps of Qin Kan just now and grilled them himself.

The rice wine is soft in the mouth, but it has a lot of stamina, Zhu Houzhao is not smooth in his heart, drinking cup after cup, Qin Kan wants to persuade him, but he can't help it when the words come to his mouth.

It's just that, if you can't even get drunk, what's the point of life?

It didn't take long for Zhu Houzhao's face to be flushed, his eyes were dizzy and he couldn't find the focus, his body was swaying and crumbling, Zhang Yong hurriedly reached out to help him, but was kicked away by Zhu Houzhao.

After burping heavily, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were drunk and foggy, but there was deep desolation and sadness in his eyes.

"Qin Kan, you say...... Did I do something wrong by moving to the leopard house? ”

"Your Majesty, are you drunk......"

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, staring at the amber-like crystal wine, and a tear fell into the glass.

"I'm rich in the world, and I should be the happiest person in the world, right? Why didn't I feel happy at all after my father left? ”

Qin Kan looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly, how unrestrained and happy the prince of the East Palace he had just met more than two years ago was, but now, he only saw a young body hidden in a heart that was becoming more and more depressed.

"Your Majesty, in the floating years, I don't know how to sigh is the real happiness......"
