"Dear guests, this is our signature dish, Jiuhe Mingtian."

The waiter had a huge ceramic bowl on his plate, and a colorful crane stood in the shape of a lifelike soup, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

The palace has always been frugal, and no one would do such art when they are idle, so they can see exquisite dishes during occasional banquets.

Xiao Yongning also opened his eyes, but at this moment he still blinked and was stunned. He looked up at the waiter and said, "How to eat this?"

Not only Xiao Yongning, but also the two sisters Zhang Yun were curious and stared at each other, but they all looked like they had no idea how to start.

Even Zhu Xu looked around and couldn't find the tools and could not infer how to eat them.

The waiter stood beside Xiao Yongning and said with a smile: "Customer, please use chopsticks to pick it up. There are three types of meat: chicken, duck, geese, and it can be rotated inside. It tastes unique to dip the soup..."

Xiao Yongning couldn't wait to stand up and poke the "Crane Eye" with chopsticks.

Zhu Xu shook his head secretly, and the two sisters Zhang Yun also picked up a piece of wings and put them in the soup. Zhang Shu took a bite carefully, and her pretty face showed joy. Before she could speak, Xiao Yongning had already said to Zhu Xu: "Emperor... That uncle, eat quickly, it's so delicious..."

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks and picked up a little. As soon as he took a bite, he nodded slightly and said, "It's good." As Zhu Xu's identity, this plate of "Jiuhe Mingtian" is really good.

The waiter said: "Our cook comes from Nanzhili, and is the best in Nanzhili. This is the third plate he made in the capital. Most people can't afford it. Please try it more."

Nonsense! How many dishes can be so luxurious when you have a plate of sixteen taels?

The little girl ignored the waiter's words, took a few bites and looked at the waiter, and said crisply: "Can this be packed?"

The waiter was stunned and immediately said, "This is something to be eaten immediately. If it is cold, the meat will change and there is no way to eat it."

The little girl was a little disappointed, and her interest in eating immediately decreased a lot.

When Zhang Yun saw this, he smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed. If you want to eat, you can invite the chef back."

The little girl's eyes were bright and she looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Is that OK?"

Zhu Xu knew the little girl’s thoughts and laughed: “Yes, you are a big girl too, you can decide some things yourself.”

The little girl cheered and looked at the waiter and said, "You go, by the way, is there anything delicious?"

The waiter glanced at Zhu Xu, and knew that he was full of nobleness, and hurriedly said, "Yes, the assorted Eight Treasures are also awesome here, fifteen taels per plate."

"Hurry up and get on." The little girl waved her hand and couldn't wait.

Zhang Shu and Zhang Yun could see that Princess Yongning wanted to try it first, and then called the chef to the palace to make it for the empress dowager to taste it, and they all looked at it with a smile.

Zhang Yun glanced at Zhu Xu quietly, chuckled, with a hint of shyness in his eyes.

Their relationship changed during the time they were in the Zen room.

The little girl solved her worries and was even happier. Zhu Xu shook her head and said, "Eat slowly, there are still some later. I will eat so much and no one will carry you back later."

The little girl blinked and immediately sat upright, slowing down her speed as if she was quite ladylike.

Cao Huachun, Wang Yizhou and others stood not far away, alert to the surroundings and also looked at Zhu Xu's table. The two of them had their own thoughts, but they always felt that there was always something special "warmness" on the emperor in front of them, unlike an emperor, like a "people".

Zhu Xu smiled and patted his hand off and said, "Would you like me to call him? As long as I call him, he will definitely come."

"Haha, Brother Zhang, he can call your uncle..."

"Hahahahahaha, Brother Zhang, haha, hurry up, let him call, we also want to see Lord Zhang, we can't see him..."

Zhang Heli laughed even more fiercely. She looked like she was about to sit on the ground, unable to speak at all: "Haha, hahahaha..."

Dingdeng

At this moment, the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the stairs, and two figures walked up one after another.

The laughter of the three people came to an abrupt end one after another, and they all stared blankly at the two people who appeared at the stairs.

One has a little fat appearance, a light face, and the other has a tall and thin appearance, with a cold expression.

Zhang Heli and the other two were shocked. They didn't care about Zhu Xu, so they hurried over, and honestly said, "The students have met Lord Fu and Shangshu Zhang."

The person who came was Fu Changzong and Zhang Bingwen. The two glanced at the three of them, walked towards Zhu Xu in turn, and raised their hands and said, "I have met the emperor and seen the princess."

Plop plop plop plop plop plop

As soon as they finished speaking, the three people behind them fell to the ground one after another, their eyes wide open, and they were frightened.

"The Emperor..."

The three of them trembled their lips, and the cold sweat fell from their heads, and they collapsed on the ground.

Zhang Bingwen was aggressive and more harsh. He frowned and looked at the three of them, raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and apologized: "I have no choice but to teach my son, so I would like to punish the emperor."

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand and said, "I have more children from the Ming Dynasty than this one. How can I teach you how to do it yourself."

Zhang Bingwen frowned and said, "Yes." As he said that, he turned around and looked at the three of them, and snorted coldly, "Give you a month to be admitted to the recruit camp and stay for three years. If you fail the exam, Sea Cucumber, Wei, Qiongzhou, you can choose it yourself."

Zhang Heli and the other two changed their faces, but they knew that this was already forgiveness. They quickly got up and said tremblingly: "Yes, I will definitely pass it."

In Zhang Bingwen's opinion, with their "delicate" body, they would definitely not be able to pass it in a month. He waved his hand with a cold face and said, "Don't appear in the capital within three years, go."

The three of them looked pale, and they didn't dare to say a word "no". They kowtowed in a hurry, turned around and ran away staggeringly.

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Bingwen and shook his head and said, "After all, you are a young man, you don't need to be so harsh."

Zhang Bingwen's expression remained unchanged and said, "It was the negligence of the ministers. It was not only the court officials who needed to be purged, but people in the world, especially those from aristocratic families, needed to be stricter, otherwise the laziness would increase day by day and the disaster would arise."

Zhu Xu 'um' said, Zhang Bingwen's words made sense, but he was not standing high enough to see the essence of the problem clearly, and did not say much, turning to Fu Changzong and said, "Is there something wrong with my uncle?"

If it was okay, Fu Changzong would never come to disturb his elegant mood.

Fu Changzong glanced at the person present, raised his hand and said, "Yes. I went to the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. In addition to the support of the emperor, cabinet, and six ministries, I also need money and food. I want to make a reserve."

The so-called "reserves" are the reserves of the top ten granaries and Huitong Trading Bank. These are now strictly controlled in the cabinet, and even Fu Changzong can no longer be used casually.

Zhu Xu understood that it was not easy for Fu Changzong to establish prestige in the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu. In addition to power, he also needed money and food, and he had to work together in both ways.

Nodded, Zhu Xu said, "I am not considering this. Let's do this. In the future, the money and food of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu will be sent from the offices of the Prime Ministers of the six provinces. Some officials will be transferred to you and I will also give it to you. You must sort out government affairs as soon as possible. Some urgent matters can be taken first and then reported. At a certain time, my uncle will also show some courage!"

This is what Fu Changzong lacks, but he also knows that the responsibility for going there is a great deal, so he raised his hand and said, "Yes, thank you, the Emperor."

Zhang Bingwen watched from the side and realized the position of Fu Changzong in the emperor's heart again.

After talking about Fu Changzong's affairs, Zhu Xu turned to Zhang Bingwen and said, "What urgent matters are there in the Ministry of Revenue now?"

Zhang Bingwen immediately raised his hand and said, "I came here to ask for an order, hoping to go out of Beijing to inspect before the big discussion so that he can have a real understanding."

This is the first time this request has appeared. Zhu Xu looked at him curiously and said, "Why, what problem has you discovered?"

Zhang Bingwen raised his hand and said, "Not yet, but the Ministry of Revenue paid money in the past. I want to see how the local government operates the money so that I can know it."

Zhu Xu knew in his heart that Zhang Bingwen must have discovered something and could not say clearly. After thinking about it, he said, "I am sure. But if you leave Beijing, you will probably be very happy. You must know what the cabinet will do."

Zhang Bingwen naturally knew that the cabinet and the six ministries were fighting for the division of power. As the new Minister of Revenue, he naturally understood and raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, your heart is as clear as a mirror."

Zhu Xu looked at the new Minister of Revenue and narrowed his eyes. Did he underestimate it before? Perhaps Zhang Bingwen would do better than he expected.
