Erhu originally just went back to the palace and nodded to indicate that he was back, but he didn't expect that the palace doors were locked and the emperor was anxious to see him.

This made him somewhat unhappy. He secretly thought that the emperor was too eager to seek immortality and seek immortality. This was not what a wise king should do!

At the gate of the palace, Erhu asked for a pot of tea from the guard guarding the gate. After drinking a cup of oxen, he hurriedly ran to Qianqing Palace. Before he could reach the palace of Shen Shen, he saw the left door behind the palace opened, and the emperor hurriedly rushed to the palace. walked out of it.

"Your Majesty!"

Erhu trotted up to Lao Zhu. Before he could salute, Lao Zhu waved his sleeves and shouted.

"No need!"

"Tell us quickly, have you ever found Zhang Slutty?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, I owe my humble duty to the Emperor, and no trace of Zhenren Zhang has been found."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he had a heavy look of disappointment on his face. Although he had already expected that this person was not so easy to find, he still couldn't accept it when he heard this result so rashly.

"Is he still unwilling to return to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Back to the emperor, this is not true. I heard from his disciples that Master Zhang has not returned to Wudang Mountain for a long time. Maybe he has ascended to immortality?"

"However, I have already left a spy in Wudang Mountain and arrested the head of Wudang Mountain. Zhike and other family members are threatening him. As long as Zhenren Zhang shows up, they will definitely capture him!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Erhu's words, he was so angry that his face twitched.

If Zhang Sulu was really a god in this world, and he treated her so rudely, he would offend someone to death.

But if you don't do this, there seems to be no better way.

Lao Zhu struggled for a while and then spoke quietly.

"Be careful and don't delay our important event!"

"I humbly accept my order!"

Lao Zhu sent the two tigers away, thinking that he would have nothing to do, so he couldn't help but take out the strategy that Da Sun had made during the day and read it again. The more he read, the more reasonable he felt. He thought that he couldn't sleep, so he immediately ordered someone to Qin Kui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was called over.

Poor Qin Kui had just gotten into bed and was about to have some intimacy with his concubine when Lao Zhu took him out in the middle of the night.

Qin Kui's new concubine could not help but complain while helping him put on his official uniform.

"What's going on with His Majesty the Emperor? Why don't you let people stop in the middle of the night?"

When Qin Kui heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he blocked his concubine's mouth.

"You don't want your life!"

"If such rebellious words are spread, your master will be buried with you!"

"Sir, how can someone just complain at home and reach His Majesty's ears?"

As soon as the concubine finished speaking, Jin Yiwei's voice came from outside the door.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Qin, we won't inform His Majesty of your complaints!"

"ah……"

The concubine was frightened when she heard this. Qin Kui also turned pale and wondered if this was still a human being. Did he have a pair of dog ears?

When Qin Kui came out of the bedroom, he already had a five-tael silver ingot in his hand, and he couldn't help but put it into the hand of Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi outside the door.

"You two imperial envoys are so tolerant. With this small amount of silver, I will treat you two to a banquet!"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi weighed the silver ingot in his hand and smiled slightly at Qin Kui.

"Master Qin is too polite!"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi put away the money, then lowered his voice and added.

"It is said that His Majesty is in a bad mood today..."

Qin Kui was startled when he heard this, and then he cupped his hands towards Xiaoqi to express his gratitude, secretly thinking that the five taels of silver were worth it!

Qin Kui felt that when he entered Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu was still sitting on the steps. But compared to before, he now had an extra cushion under his buttocks and four more lanterns on both sides.

"Your Majesty, Qin Kui, pays homage to you!"

If Lao Zhu didn't show off his power, he would still be quite easy-going. He waved to Qin Kui and motioned for him to come over and sit with him.

Qin Kui also wisely stepped down to the next level and did it on half of his butt.

"We have an article here. Please help us see if it is feasible."

Qin Kui took the article handed over by Lao Zhu, and after just one glance, he saw that it was Qi Tai's handwriting.

Nowadays, the Jinmei Ping is very popular. Anyone who is an official in the court does not have one or two original manuscripts and is embarrassed to say hello to others when going out.

Qin Kui also took advantage of the fact that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and asked for several manuscripts from the Bank of China.

Although Qin Kui recognized Qi Tai's handwriting, he was even more confused.

Isn't this guy the Minister of Rites? Why is he meddling in the affairs of our Ministry of Works? Could it be that he has the intention to work in our Ministry of Works?

In the early Ming Dynasty, there was no clear industry threshold for the six departments. Sometimes one person served as the minister of two or three departments concurrently.

Although Qin Kui is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, it does not mean that he can understand the drawings and direct the workers to work.

Therefore, Qin Kui had no psychological barriers to Qi Tai's appointment at the Ministry of Industry, and instead thought it was a good thing.

After all, with Qi Tai's status as Jieyuan of the Yingtian Mansion and his background of teaching the princes and grandchildren, he is destined to have a prosperous official career in the future, and it will only be a matter of time before he surpasses himself.

If we can form a romantic relationship with him in advance, it will be more convenient for our children to become officials in the future.

Because Qin Kui had this thought in mind, he became more serious when he looked at the article again.

This seriousness really allowed him to see a lot of bright spots.

"Your Majesty, this is what a mature person says when planning for the country!"

"Opening a shipping market and collecting business taxes are all ways to quickly replenish the national treasury, and they are very feasible."

"But what scares me the most is the public-private partnership system proposed by this person!"

"If this method can be implemented, the government-run workshops of the Ming Dynasty can contribute at least one million taels of income to the court every year!"

When Lao Zhu heard that Qin Kui spoke so highly of Da Sun's strategy, his face immediately turned red with excitement, and he even stuttered when he spoke.

"Qin... Qin Kui, you really think so. Do you... do you really think this method of rebelling against the grandson is good?"

When Qin Kui heard the word "Ni Sun", his mind suddenly shut down.

Isn't this an article written by Qi Tai? Why did it suddenly become "Ni Sun?"

Furthermore, Qi Tai studied with Huang Zicheng and others in the East Palace, so he is considered a peer of the Crown Prince. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for Your Majesty to call this person Ni Sun?

Qin Kui thought of this and asked anxiously.

"May I ask Your Majesty, who wrote this article?"

When Lao Zhu heard Qin Kui's question, he immediately showed a shy and proud look on his face. Seeing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly showed off for his majesty.

"Lord Qin, I don't know something. This is because the emperor took an exam in the main hall today, and the three emperors and grandsons did it on the spot!"

"What!"

When Qin Kui heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

Firstly, I can't believe that this kind of article was written by a teenager, and secondly, I can't believe that he can write such elegant and handsome handwriting.

Just looking at this handwriting, it is impossible to achieve it without more than ten years of hard work.

How old is the grandson of the Three Emperors? Did he already learn to write before he could hold chopsticks?

When Lao Zhu saw Qin Kui so shocked, he felt even more proud and smiled so much that his mouth almost reached the back of his head.

"Why are you so shocked?"

"Do you think that the royal children and grandchildren are not worthy of writing such articles?"

When Qin Kui heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the spot.

"Wei Chen will never dare to have such thoughts!"

"Wei Chen was just shocked by the amazing talent of the Third Emperor's grandson. If His Majesty hadn't said it himself, Wei Chen would never have believed that such a sophisticated, steady, and practical article was written by the young man in charge!"

"Wei Chen is impressed by the talent of His Highness the Third Emperor Sun, and there is no disrespect in his heart!"

This is what Lao Zhu wants to hear. If you flatter him directly, you might be able to slap him on the horse's hooves. But if you flatter his son or grandson, he can happily listen to it all day long without feeling bored.

, maybe I will have to ask you to come back tomorrow.

"Qin Aiqing's words are serious, we were just joking!"

"Come on, tell us, if this government-run workshop really changes like this, can it really bring income to the Ming Dynasty?"

When Lao Zhu was in a happy mood, he even changed his name for Qin Kui and directly used "Qin Aiqing".

Qin Kui was secretly surprised when he heard that His Majesty actually addressed him as "Ai Qing", and wondered whether what he had just said touched His Majesty's heart.

Otherwise, with His Majesty's habit, he would be so overwhelmed by the favor of the crowd as "All the Beloveds", how could he even call himself Beloved on his own?

After Qin Kui thought about it for a while, he knew why. His Majesty was happy with his grandson!

Although Qin Kui understood the reason, he could not follow His Majesty's instructions.
