Chapter 801: Look at your cannon (additional update for what nickname is the most annoying)
Li Zheng suppressed the light in his eyes and raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"My dear friends, please be quiet!"
Looking at the noisy and noisy crowds of excited young people in Dalong's court, Li Zheng rarely calmed down everyone in a harmonious manner.
After hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, but their eyes couldn't help but glance towards the map behind the emperor.
"Old Zhou, move the map down! Come over with Dalong's map!"
"According to the order!"
"My dear friends, let's sit down and have a nice chat over a cup of tea!"
"I obey the order!"
Everyone sat back down and gently drank the tea brought by the eunuchs.
Li Zheng looked at the ministers with excited eyes quietly and felt extremely at ease. The wholehearted performance of the civil and military officials in the court made Li Zheng completely relieved.
Although he had mentioned the matter of sailing to the West before in the court, although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, it was only because of his own coercion.
Afterwards, Li Zheng thought deeply and realized that this would never work. He must let the ministers do things sincerely and not be forced by the pressure of his own emperor.
This is what happened in the palace today.
Now the behavior of these ministers is exactly what they want.
The voyage to the West is no longer worth worrying about.
The heads of civil servants, the heads of military generals, even the head of the Yushitai and the four censors all gave their full support, and the rest of the officials basically didn't need to care.
No matter how many people you have, you still have to listen to the boss.
Xia Gongming, who is against me in the Yushitai, has tried his best to support me. If you dare to resist the edict and disrespect the order, you will be dismissed from your official position. The Yushitai will not oppose me anymore and will scold you angrily.
Being rude to ministers harms the country and the people!
Even if I don't deal with you, your immediate boss will still have to put on your shoes.
Anyone who dares to prevent me from being famous and famous throughout the ages is my enemy. If you can't cure me, you will be regarded as incompetent.
Looking at Young Master Liu's wilting appearance, the emperor frowned slightly. What happened to his valued son-in-law and minister?
Why does he look so lazy again? His face is a little pale, something is not right!
Could it be that one thing is more important than another thing?
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's face looked a little weird. It's normal for newlyweds to be a little indulgent, but they can't be so restrained that they don't even care about their health.
Li Zheng sighed inwardly and couldn't help but blame the third princess for his daughter.
Li Zheng, who is also a man, also knows in his heart that only cows are plowed to death. No wonder his daughter was so bright and touching when she gave watermelons to him and the Queen today. It turned out to be this reason!
No, the queen must give her a good education. She cannot exhaust her body for the sake of the love of her children and delay national affairs.
Li Zheng raised his head and waved to Mr. Fuhai Fu behind him.
"His Majesty!"
"Go to the queen and ask her to keep the third princess here. I have something to give you!"
"As ordered, the little one is going down!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen asked me, Your Majesty and all the adults to bring me iced watermelon to relieve the heat!"
The emperor frowned and glanced at the somewhat confused minister. He hesitated for a moment and then his eyes lit up: "Pass!"
"watermelon?"
"What is watermelon?"
"Unheard of!"
"I know pumpkins and winter melons, but are watermelons just stupid fruits?"
Although more and more watermelon seeds have been accumulated, only this year have hundreds of watermelons matured and fallen.
Liu Mingzhi didn't want the watermelon incident to be made public before large-scale planting was possible, but he didn't expect that the queen, the mother-in-law, would be so generous and share the watermelon with these hungry wolves.
Looking at the five or six eunuchs, Mr. Liu, who came in with trays, he had a vague premonition of something bad.
The watermelons I stored in the ice cellar to satisfy my cravings will most likely suffer the same fate as the beef jerky I brought back from the Kingdom of Jin.
"I would like to report to my father that I am suddenly in a panic. Since I have nothing else to do, why don't I leave first and come back to see my father after I am done with my bath?"
Li Zheng was slightly startled and raised a strange smile at the corner of his mouth: "No, I have a bucket in the back hall, you can use it!"
There was a trace of envy on the corner of the prince's mouth. Even his mother, the queen, was not qualified to use his father's royal barrel, not to mention himself.
This shows how much the father values Young Master Liu.
The other ministers were also a little surprised. They understood how important Young Master Liu was in the emperor's heart.
Thinking about it, even if Liu Dashao stayed overnight in the palace one day, they would not doubt it, because it must have been approved by the emperor.
Wei Yong, the Prime Minister of the Left, and Li Yang, the Prince of Duan, stared at Mr. Liu for a while and silently lowered their eyes.
There was a hint of deep fear in the depths of his pupils.
Song Yu raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and glanced at Young Master Liu and Zuo Prime Minister Duan Wang beside him.
"Third brother, just wait. Sooner or later, your grievances will be vindicated. Zhi'er, this child, will not let you down. It's all because of the incompetence of the elder brother, but the elder brother will do his best to help. Zhi'er will sit on the court and say the best.
I will avenge you!"
Young Master Liu's expression froze: "Uh... I suddenly feel like my stomach is feeling better again, so let's forget it. Thank you, Father!"
Li Zheng nodded calmly: "In that case, let's try the watermelon sent by the queen together!"
"My son, I obey!"
Everyone looked at the slightly chilly watermelon with bright red flesh on the tray that the eunuch handed to them in surprise, and they were a little afraid to touch it.
Isn't this something frozen in blood?
Upon seeing this, the emperor took a piece of watermelon and put it into his mouth and ate it, showing an approving look.
Rare things are more valuable. Although I ate a lot of watermelons, they were too rare and I didn't enjoy them every time I ate them.
Young Master Liu sighed silently and felt distressed before picking up a piece of watermelon and eating it.
When everyone saw that the emperor and Wanhu Hou had already entered, they did not hesitate to pick up a piece of watermelon and gently put it into their mouths and took a bite!
"kindness?"
"kindness!"
"tasty!"
"Bingbing is cool, sweet and delicious, it seems better than sour plum soup!"
Everyone raved about the taste of watermelon!
After finishing a piece of watermelon, everyone was still a little bit unsatisfied.
Liu Dashao stared blankly at Wan Buhai who had completely wiped out a piece of watermelon rind and hurriedly ran over: "Old Duke, spit it out quickly!"
When Wan Buhai saw Mr. Liu rushing towards him, he directly stuffed the remaining watermelon rind into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then devoured it.
Wan Buhai proudly wiped the watermelon juice from his beard and looked at Young Master Liu unhappily: "Young Master Liu, it's not like you don't have anything yourself, why do you still want to snatch my watermelon?"
"My official...Old Duke, you can't eat the watermelon rind...it's not that you can't eat it, it's not delicious!"
"As long as you don't die from eating it, don't worry about me!"
After Young Master Liu turned around, he realized that nearly half of the ministers had eaten the watermelon rind completely.
"Oh my God, is this the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs or the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
Li Zheng wiped off the watermelon juice on his beard: "My dear friends, this watermelon was accidentally transported to Dalong from the West!"
"Sail to the West, steal... and trade watermelons!"
“Donate money!”
"I will donate money immediately!"
"Donate your daughter...jewelry!"
Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "The court will meet in seven days, and I don't want to hear any objections!"
"Keep them busy!"
"Tired them to death!"
Zaifu has spoken!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! You dare to object to wearing small shoes!"
"Get off the hook!"
"I will kill them even if they fart!"
This is the voice of the Civil Service Yushitai!
"Hang on the flagpole and smoke for three days!"
"Find an excuse to train and lift him to death with a stone lock!"
This is the voice of a military commander!
"The Criminal Department doesn't know anything!"
"The cells in Dali Temple are full!"
The voice of Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment!
"The forbidden room in the clan's mansion is empty!"
One of the old men in python robes glanced at the royal family members!
"Liu Aiqing stays, everyone else should go back!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
After everyone left, Liu Mingzhi looked at the emperor blankly: "Father, I don't know why I left my son behind? I will definitely die without mercy!"
Li Zheng happily stepped back.
"There is no need for you to fight to the death. I want to see how your cannon is doing?"
