As the atmosphere inside and outside the Wenhua Hall reached a stalemate, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty crawled on the ground in fear, not daring to see the emperor's decisive face.

In silence like death.

Half an hour passed, and the emperor was still standing outside the hall, while the chief minister Zhang Juzheng still had no intention of walking out of the hall to welcome him.

Inside the hall.

In the silence, the officials walked lightly, for fear of making any sound.

Zhang Juzheng, wearing a crimson official uniform, sat upright in the side hall, holding a wolf's hair in his hand, and commented on the emergency documents one by one.

In the strange silence, several officials wanted to persuade him but did not dare to persuade him. In fact, everyone knew that leaving the emperor outside might not be the original intention of Master Taishi.

He was just too conceited and didn't know how to welcome him.

But the problem is that the emperor doesn’t think so!

In the dead silence.

Until someone sneaked to the window and looked through the window.

The window is empty.

At this time, the emperor had already left angrily...

The officials also got up in delight and walked back to their respective halls without saying a word, for fear of being implicated by the embarrassment between the Prime Minister and the Emperor.

It seems that in the ninth year of Wanli, the conflicts between the emperor, the chief minister, and even the entire cabinet have been well known and gradually become the norm.

Another quarter of an hour later.

West Garden.

Surrounded by a large number of guards, the emperor rushed back to his residence in Xiyuan angrily.

Shen Lie had to follow closely,

As soon as he entered Xiyuan, Zhu Yijun could no longer help but feel angry and started cursing on the spot: "I am immortal... I am not a man, I should be a human being!"

This scolding is really terrifying.

Shen Lie's expression became more complicated. He walked to the door with a bitter face, signaling that the palace maids and eunuchs should retreat further, and then gently closed the door.

There is no benefit to spreading it out.

Immediately afterwards.

A roar sounded like a wild beast being irritated deep in the West Garden. The roar was really scary. When the emperor had almost finished venting, he sat on the dragon throne and gasped.

The expression was like a trapped beast that had just grown up, eager to break free from the shackles of the cage, but was powerless.

In the dead silence.

Shen Lie saw that he was relieved a little, then he took a few steps forward and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, calm down. The villain thought that the disaster was in the face of a great disaster. The Grand Master was worried. He was busy with official duties and was unwilling to be polite and ruling..."

He originally wanted to exonerate Zhang Juzheng, "Isn't that busy?"

But Zhu Yijun was angry and immediately roared when he heard this: "You excuse him too...Shen Lie, you have disappointed me too much... Get out of here!"

When Shen Lie heard this, he not only did not panic, but even responded respectfully: "Oh... the villain follows the order."

Then he bowed and stepped back, his expression of relief, as if he was eager to leave here quickly, and there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.

While Shen Lie began to retreat, he even began to fantasize in his heart. He would hand over the waist card of Dongchang Jianshang Baihu and resign his official position.

Then……

He could happily live his life with Yun'er and Miss Zhang, and never get involved in the grudges and hatred between the master and apprentice again.

Seeing Shen Lie leaving quickly, he was walking away quite quickly and seemed very happy.

Zhu Yijun was stunned and became even more angry now!

The young emperor shivered in anger and roared softly: "Get back for me!"

Chen Lie had to stop, turn around with a bitter face, and respond respectfully: "Oh... OK."

Forget it if you don't let go.

So the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Zhu Yijun stared at Chen Lie angrily, as if he was trying to eat people, but after a short moment, his waist collapsed like a deflated ball.

I sat on the dragon throne again and started to daze.

Chen Lie felt that the heat was almost done, so he coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the villain has a plan here, but I don't know whether to tell me."

Zhu Yijun said depressedly: "Say!"

As Chen Lie lay down beside his ear, he spoke out his thoughts, and then bewitched: "Your Majesty knows that we can do this by ourselves, and we don't have to alarm the Grand Master."

The implication.

Master Taishi clearly looked down on us and thought we were in the way. Then... let's do some results for him to see!

At this moment, Chen Lie once again used his superb acting skills and bewitched: "What does Your Majesty think?"

Zhu Yijun was slightly surprised at first, then his eyes lit up and he began to ponder: "There are some truths to insects eating crops, and poultry eating insects, but... where to find so many chickens, ducks and geese."

Chen Lie smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "His Majesty forgot that the villain runs a restaurant?"

It's still a big restaurant!

So big!

Is there still a shortage of poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry in the restaurant?

After Chen Lie said this, Zhu Yijun showed a sudden expression. The little depression in his heart disappeared on the spot, and he even rolled up his dragon robe sleeves excitedly.

"Yes!"

It seemed as if he saw a beam of light in a desperate situation. Zhu Yijun patted Chen Lie's shoulder, and his slightly fat face was filled with admiration.

“Let’s go and do it!”

The young emperor said excitedly: "What do I need to do?"

Chen Lie was waiting for this sentence and hurriedly said, "No need to delay, please issue an order immediately to order the restaurants in the capital to offer the chickens, ducks and geese in the kitchen..."

Chen Lie narrowed his eyes. He had carefully calculated that there were thousands of restaurants, inns and restaurants in the capital.

In this era, there was no refrigerator or frozen meat. If you want to eat meat dishes such as fried chicken, roast duck, roast goose, etc., you can only kill them now, and even chicken, duck, goose eggs must be released.

To ensure that millions of people in the capital have enough food and drink every day, which restaurant does not have ten or eight poultry in the kitchen?

It is common for a slightly larger restaurant and inn to raise hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese.

In addition, farmers who have cooperative relationships with major restaurants have little problem in collecting hundreds of thousands of poultry in a short period of time.

That's all.

Chen Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered: "I wonder if Your Majesty agrees with the villain's plan?"

Zhu Yijun kept nodding, "Okay, okay, but with my decree, I will ask the shopkeepers and farmers to contribute their hard-earned poultry... Is this appropriate?"

Chen Lie was stunned, looked at the young master's worried face, and hurriedly said, "Of course... it's not suitable."

Unexpectedly, our emperor still knows how to be polite to the people.

So Chen Lie felt a little nervous and said softly: "If the emperor really doesn't want to force the levy, then he can only give money."

The implication is that if the emperor, you are willing to take out some money.

That's better of course!

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said resolutely: "I will give you a secret order, and I will give you another five thousand... No, ten thousand taels of snowflakes, you can just let it go.

Chen Lie was happy and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Things are done now!

After another moment.

The two of them met and stood in front of the table, looked at it with a deep smile, and the emperor ordered people to get the box containing the silver notes and handed it over.

A full box of silver notes!

Then the emperor picked up the pen and ink, and after a moment of consideration, he wrote a secret decree seriously, and also blew the ink marks on the imperial decree.
Chapter completed!
