Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 205 Convulsive Zhu Houzhao
"Sir, there is no need to be formal. If you don't want to call me Ziming, it's okay to call me the eldest son. This... this is a close friend of mine who works in... Leopard Square!"

Qin Shao didn't know how to introduce Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao likes to hide his identity, and he doesn't like others to know his identity as the emperor.

Zhang Cong is a smart man. As a scholar who participated in the examination, he still knows the officialdom of the court very well.

If he said something like a general, he would definitely think what department the other party was in, what position he was in, and it would be easy to reveal his secrets.

Let's just say it's in Leopard Square!
Even though there are many frontier warriors in Leopard Square, there are also many local soldiers recruited to serve as auxiliary services.

"Since Mr. Ziming is called the eldest son, you can call me Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Houzhao was very happy that Qin Shao introduced his identity like that, with a faint sense of privacy.

Because there were a lot of people eating at home, Han Jinrong simply asked the mother-in-law who was helping to find a few more people, bought mutton, pork belly, fresh fish, bamboo shoots, chicken, etc., and some vegetables, and grilled them according to Qin Shao's instructions.

This is simple and trouble-free, and it also avoids the tedious cooking.

There is also barbecue here in Daming, but it is usually pork, beef and mutton, and there are very few vegetables.

Qin Shao made grilled eggplant and leeks very novel to them.

The minced green onions are sprinkled on top of the eggplant, and a strong fragrance is released after a while.

Garlic eggplant, garlic grilled fish, scones, grilled pork belly, grilled lamb, grilled chicken...

Han Jinrong made a few more cold dishes: peanuts, cold cucumbers, tofu with shallots, blanched green vegetables in vinegar...

Refreshing and delicious!

Qin Shao only took one jar of Jinhua wine, and the rest was fruit wine.

Zhang Cong's drinking capacity is average, and Zhu Houzhao had drank some before. Qin Shao thinks fruit wine is better, so don't get drunk and have an accident.

As soon as the food was served, a group of men began to drink.

Not long after drinking, there was a knock on the door.

Who is here at this time?
Qin Shao was a little surprised.

Qin Shao gestured to Wang Yin, and suggested that he go to the gate of the front yard to see who it is?
Zhu Houzhao is here, and anyone who comes to the house needs to be filtered.

Even though Zhu Houzhao came to the house once and went to the Shusi Tea House, he and Wang Yin were the only ones in the family who knew his true identity.

Wang Yin received Qin Shao's gaze, and quickly got up to stop the third son who was about to get up.

"Brother Wang Yin, I..."

"Third son, haven't you been groping for a stick technique recently? You can practice with the masters to help the wine!"

Wang Yin said directly.

The third son has lost a lot of height in the past two years, but after all, he is young and loves to eat, and he still feels a bit like a tiger with others, and everyone still treats him as a child.

"Third son, your stick skills are good, do you have a new move, come on, show it!"

Lin Tong was already very familiar with Xiaosanzi, and he knew that Xiaosanzi was good with stick skills.

Introduced to Zhu Houzhao personally. Zhu Houzhao was good at martial arts, so he immediately showed strong interest and took the lead in applauding.

……

"Brother Wang, is the eldest son at home?"

Wang Yin opened the door and saw that it was Wang Yun.

Wang Yun actually didn't want to come over, the eldest son is very busy, so he came to the door rashly, he may not be busy for something!

Moreover, since Wang Yun came into contact with Qin Shao, he felt that the eldest son should take one step and consider three steps when working on documents.

Since he is willing to make friends with the emperor, he must have his own considerations.

It's just that the old man knew that the eldest son had a close relationship with the emperor, so he was very anxious, so he insisted on hurrying over.

"Master Qin is at home, but the emperor is also here."

Wang Yin hurried forward, closed the side and said in a low voice.

"The emperor? The emperor is here too?"

Wang Yun was very surprised.

The eldest son saved the emperor, and he knew that he had a relationship. The emperor is more casual, but he didn't expect to get closer to the eldest son.

"The emperor? The emperor is here too?"

When the people in the carriage heard the voice, they opened the curtain and asked in surprise.

"Master Wang is here too?"

Wang Yin looked up in surprise, and found that it was Wang Tu, and hurried forward to salute.

"The emperor came here suddenly today, and he is eating here. Is Mr. Wang in a hurry to find the eldest son?"

Wang Yin knew Wang Tu's identity, and this person would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing!

Came over suddenly, worried about something.

"It's just to discuss some things. Since the emperor is here, I'm not going to pass. In case the emperor knows my identity..."

Wang Tu was a little worried.

"If there is something urgent, I will tell the prince when the banquet is over..."

"No need, wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the eldest son can come to me when he is free, it's not too urgent. To avoid surprise, I'll go back first."

Wang Tu said directly.

His identity was sensitive, and he often went to the palace to deliver things to the old concubine in the early years. He was worried that if someone checked his identity, he would be easily found out.

"It's fine for Master Wang to go back first! Brother Wang might as well go over and have a drink together, so as not to be surprised when someone asks you how to dress."

Wang Yin said directly.

If he goes back, someone will definitely ask who is here.

Wang Tu likes Wang Yin very much, and thinks that this young man is very thoughtful about things, and with this person as his helper staying by the Eldest Prince's side, he can worry less.

He directly ordered his son Wang Yun to stay, and let the young man drive a car to go home with him.

The two returned to the yard to have a barbecue, and the third son had just finished performing the stick technique.

Xiaosanzi's stick technique is even more excellent now, which won bursts of applause from Zhu Houzhao.

After the performance, Zhu Houzhao returned the reward.

He didn't bring any money, so Lin Tong helped pay for it.

Wang Yun came in and saluted Zhu Houzhao, but because of Wang Yin's reminder, he did not name Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao had an impression of him, knowing that he was Qin Shao's friend and working in Raptor Factory, so he kindly greeted him to sit down.

"If my disciples of the Ming Dynasty could practice martial arts like Li Liangqin when they were young, and all the people would become soldiers, the Ming Dynasty would surely prosper and prosper!"

Zhu Houzhao admired and lamented Xiaosanzi's stick skills very much.

This kid is young, but his kung fu is already so strong.

When the third son was performing just now, Lin Tong also went up to make gestures and compete with the third son.

It's not that he is old and has practiced martial arts for many years, and he has a lot of practical experience, so it is really difficult to deal with the third son.

"Mr. Zhu said that I also agree with you. Although I am a scholar, I also feel that today's Ming Dynasty is too important to culture and military affairs! Even though we are still in peace, people have immediate worries without long-term considerations. The same is true for the court! I heard that The current emperor favors martial arts, and many people oppose it. It is a good thing to think that it is a good thing. I have been in the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and the culture is too prosperous, which makes the martial arts weak."

"We must know that the imperial court is strong and the frontier is stable, and the role of martial arts is still indispensable! The development of Wen in the Song Dynasty was also called a prosperity, and it was not destroyed by Yuan barbarians in the end. In the final analysis, it was because the martial arts were too weak. The reason why Taizu was able to catch up Isn’t it possible to rely on force to restore our Han people’s country by leaving the Yuan people? Force is indispensable! The lesson of the Song Dynasty’s emphasis on civility over military affairs, which caused the Central Plains dynasty to be impoverished and weak, to decline must not be forgotten!”

Zhang Cong sighed.

He is a person who cares about state affairs and takes the world as his own responsibility. Whenever he talks about this topic, he can't help but express his feelings directly.

"What you said is very true, and I agree with it!"

Zhu Houzhao seemed to let out the bad breath in his heart, and directly had a drink with Zhang Cong.

After munching on the meat for a while, the servant woman brought up some fruit plates.

They are all seasonal sweet melons (that is, the current melons) in these seasons. They are very refreshing, but the taste is not very sweet.

To be honest, there are not many delicious foods in Shangjing, and the soil quality is average, and the types of melons and fruits are just like that.

"The taste of this melon and fruit is mediocre. If you want to say that the melon and fruit are sweet, it is still the sweetness of Hami and Turpan!"

Qin Shao remembered the cantaloupe from Xinjiang in his previous life, it was so sweet!

The sunshine hours there are long, and the grapes and cantaloupe are much sweeter than those in the interior.

"Fucking Man Suer! Nobody can bully me, Daming?"

Qin Shao was recalling the sweetness of cantaloupe, so he might as well smash a cup on the table with a bang, and the wine splashed and shattered.

When he was shocked, who lost his nerve?

Turning around, he was about to say something, when he realized that the crazy person was Zhu Houzhao!

Zhu Houzhao had a happy expression before, but now his face was full of anger and his eyes were red.

This... What is this guy crazy about?
