Listening to the compliments of the six ministers, Lao Zhu's face remained calm, but his heart was already filled with joy.

The reason why he directed and performed this scene today was not to show the words he stole from his grandson in front of the most knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty!

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for us to treat them to dinner when we are full?

Is there so much food in our palace that there is no room for it?

Let you secretly laugh at me for being uneducated, even though our eldest grandson can speak better than you!

"We just said it casually. I don't deserve such praise from my dear friends."

"Besides, we were afraid of being poor when we were young. We are accustomed to living in poverty and have developed the disease of poverty. The worst thing we can do is to see food being wasted."

"If this is publicized in a big way, the people in the world will not laugh at me as the emperor is like a rich man, hahaha..."

As Lao Zhu talked, he laughed to himself.

Although he smiled happily, the officials below did not dare to laugh along with him.

If a superior person laughs at himself, it is to show his affinity; if a inferior person is ignorant and laughs along with him, then he is seeking death.

"Your Majesty is too modest!"

"Even if Your Majesty does not expel the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and restore China's great achievements, these words alone can make you famous in history and be admired by all generations!"

"This sentence is simple and straightforward, but it contains the great truth and has a sense of simplicity and profoundness. It is a wise saying for cultivating one's morality and harmonizing the family, and making the family prosperous from generation to generation!"

When Lao Zhu heard what Zhao Mian, the Minister of Rites, said, he felt that it spoke to his heart.

When he first heard this, he immediately wanted to write it into the "Emperor's Instructions" so that the descendants of the Zhu family would remember it from generation to generation. I didn't expect that the old man Zhao Mian would come with us.

Got it!

"Pour wine for Minister Zhao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mian quickly stood up to express his thanks, then picked up the wine glass tremblingly, full of surprises.

It seems that what I just said is on point!

When Lao Zhu saw that Zhao Mian had picked up the wine glass, he couldn't help but raise his glass to him as a distant salute. Zhao Mian, who was happy, drank it all in one gulp.

When the others saw that Zhao Mian had gotten an advantage, they all praised him lavishly.

Although their level was far inferior to that of Zhao Mian, who had a professional background, Lao Zhu still rewarded each of them with a glass of royal wine in order to take care of their emotions.

This is not because Lao Zhu is stingy, but mainly because he is afraid that they will drink too much and delay their errands in the Yamen.

After all, it was already a loss for him to have a meal today. If he gave them a half-day holiday, wouldn't he be at a loss to his grandma's family?

In the end, Lao Zhu fully affirmed the positive practical significance and historical value of carving stones and erecting monuments, but rejected the proposal to publish it in Di Bao.

After finalizing this matter, the atmosphere at the wine table became much more harmonious.

Lao Zhu buried his head in the rice, and other ministers followed suit and ate hungrily.

Although the food on the table is not to your liking, it is not easy for the six ministers to get food from Lao Zhu's family.

Don’t worry about how delicious it is, let’s have a full stomach first!

Just when they were eating in full swing, the eunuch serving the meal brought over a basin of crucian carp soup and a steamed lion's head.

When everyone saw these two dishes, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

This crucian carp stew is authentic. The soup is stewed into a milky white color. It looks like it has been stewed for a long time. It is also good to get crab meat and lion heads. Each one is about the size of a fist. It is topped with carefully cooked soup. It is called a

Pleasing to the eyes.

As soon as Zhan Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, saw the lion's head, the saliva in his mouth couldn't help but flow down.

His favorite thing in life was to eat lion heads, and he almost ate them all in the famous restaurants in Yingtian Mansion. But this was the first time he saw the lion heads made in the palace, and he wanted to try how they were different from the ones made outside.

Different flavors.

Others were also smacking their lips at the milky white crucian carp soup. Although there was a lot of meat in today's meal, there was no soup that was tasty.

The crucian carp soup that is being served now is just in time to moisten your throat and help you digest food.

But just as they were preparing to eat with great anticipation, the emperor beside them unexpectedly spoke.

"We've almost finished eating, and you're bringing the food here?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, these two dishes require a lot of effort. It's too late to catch up if you hurry up..."

Lao Zhu looked at the two dishes and suddenly thought of the skinny eldest grandson, crying and complaining that he was not full and could not eat well.

His nose couldn't help but feel sore, and he waved to the eunuch who was passing the meal.

"We won't eat it anymore. Let's give it to our little naughty grandson."

Several ministers were so angry when they heard this that they almost scolded their mothers. They only served two decent dishes in total, and you stingy emperor even gave them to your eldest grandson!

Wait, who is that little naughty grandson of his?

The emperor's doting tone could not be referring to Zhu Yunxi, right?

Could it be said that His Majesty's trip with the Emperor's second grandson in his arms in the morning was not a temporary move but had an ulterior motive?

The eunuch Chuanshan was also confused when he heard this. There are three grandsons of the emperor in the main hall. Which one is the younger grandson?

Seeing that the eunuch Chuanshan was stunned, Erhu hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"I humble my duty and obey my decree!"

When Lao Zhu saw Erhu coming forward, he immediately nodded towards him.

"By the way, let me ask how Nisun is doing in the main hall. Is there anything naughty or mischievous happening?"

"promise!"

The six ministers watched Erhu leave until he disappeared into the side hall, and then they withdrew their shocked gazes.

The emperor actually cared about his second grandson’s homework. This was not a good sign!

If the position of heir to the Ming Dynasty really fell to Zhu Yunxi, how could Lan Yu and other arrogant generals turn the world upside down?

Several ministers thought that they could no longer eat this meal.

They hurriedly stood up to say goodbye, and after leaving the palace gate, they began to bite their ears and discuss how to deal with the matter.

Only Zhan Wei acted very calmly and did not take the initiative to get involved in this matter.

Because in his opinion, if the old emperor was sure of something, even nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

These old guys are nothing more than a cricket trying to shake a tree, and a mantis trying to use its arm as a cart!

After Lao Zhu sent away several ministers, he couldn't help but reveal a secretive smile on his face.

These two dishes are enough to give these old guys a headache for several days. At least they won't urge us to establish an heir!

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his palace, and just as he was about to take a nap, he heard Erhu's voice coming from outside the door.

"Is it Erhu?"

"Replying to your Majesty, I have already sent the royal meal to His Highness Yunxi, and asked someone to inquire about His Highness's studies today."

"Come in and talk!"

Not long after, Erhu walked into Lao Zhu's bedroom.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Your Highness Yunxi performed very well today. Not only did he read all the articles, he also raised questions about Mr. Qi, which left Mr. Qi speechless!"

"What?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he sat up immediately and became more energetic.

"We knew that this naughty grandson would never stop, but we didn't expect that he would dare to talk back to sir!"

Erhu quickly explained.

"Your Majesty, I don't blame His Highness Yunxi for asking about this under my humble duty."

"Moreover, even Mr. Qi deeply admires His Highness Yunxi's knowledge!"

As the saying goes, knowing Sun Moruo, when Lao Zhu heard this, a sneer immediately appeared on his face.

"He has some shitty knowledge, some nonsense knowledge, right?"

When Erhu saw the emperor saying this, he felt a little upset in his heart.

"Not quite, right?"

"I heard that His Highness Yunxi created a rainbow out of thin air, so I convinced Mr. Qi."

"That's not all. Your Highness Yunxi also captured the sun and let all the students in the main hall see the color of the sun..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, could it be that the child had really changed his gender and was an unborn genius?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to convince that kid Qitai with his clever skills?

You must know that Qi Tai was the judge of Yuan in the Tianfu Township Examination, and his profound knowledge may not be comparable to that of even the top candidate in the palace examination.

"Tell us in detail how Nisun captured the sun?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, Your Highness Yunxi found a piece of ice, and then chiseled the ice into a special shape. When you point it to the sun, it will appear..."

"etc!"
Chapter completed!
