My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 99

Zhou Wang Zhu Huan, Xiang Youxian's name.Jianwen cut down the feudal clan and was demoted to Yunnan.

Later, he brought Zhu Xi back to Ying Tian to take care of him. Until Zhu Di entered the city, he was considered to be out of misery.In addition, in order to comfort this brother, Zhu Di added three thousand stones to his salary, making Zhu's salary reach five thousand stones, ranking first among the kings.Even Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's two own sons can't compare.

Xu Jingchang also knew about these things, but he was not familiar with Zhu Wei, and he was unwilling to make friends with the vassal king, so he had not paid a private visit to Zhu Wei.

And Zhu Huan didn't come to Xu Mansion either.

This time was his first visit to King Zhou.

Xu Jingchang took a look, and he asked Zhu Gaosui, "Is your Fifth Uncle easy to deal with? It's not easy to deceive...accept guidance?"

Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, and told Xu Jingchang very seriously, "If you want to talk about fifth uncle, it is probably harder to lie than second brother."

Xu Jingchang's face changed slightly, he seemed to be a below-average opponent, it wasn't too difficult, so you can rest assured.

Zhu Gaosui paused, then added: "Well... let me remind you of one thing, my fifth uncle is good at everything, but he has a habit of giving people weird things, just don't eat them .”

Xu Jingchang froze for a moment, then carefully observed his words and expressions, and found that there was a trace of fear in the depths of Zhu Gaosui's eyes.Xu Jingchang's heart skipped a beat, and it seemed that he had to be more careful.

While talking, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu brought the carriage over, and the four of them got into the carriage... Li Jinglong looked at it and felt that the carriage was too crowded for four people, so he took the initiative to sit on the shaft and drive the carriage.

Zhu Wei was still in the capital and had not returned to Kaifeng. His residence was next to the Zongren Mansion.

Since Zhu Di became emperor, Zhu Xi has been the oldest and the highest-ranking king among the clan kings, and currently serves as the clan order.

Zhu Di's stay in the capital also involves some sensitive matters. For example, although Zhu Yunqi is dead, there are still a few brothers still alive. In addition, Zhu Yunqi also has a young son. These people are all from Zhu Biao's family. I didn't think about it either.

In history, Zhu Di demoted them to common people, imprisoned them, and kept them under strict supervision.

But after hearing Xu Jingchang's words, Zhu Di found that it was better to keep some people than to kill them.

If Zhu Yunxuan's brothers can stand up and accuse Zhu Yunxuan of being unfilial, it will be more effective than Zhu Di's words.If Zhu Yunqi's youngest son can live, wouldn't it just show his kindness?
So Zhu Di didn't rush to do it, but asked Zhu Xi to help deal with the matter.

Zhu Lu agreed, but he is also a fisherman in troubled waters.

Simply in the capital, a group of famous scholars and masters of Xinglin gathered together to hide at home and compile books. Compared with Xu Jingchang's listening to music and fishing, it was much more elegant.

"Your Highness, someone wants to see you!"

Zhu Huan was flipping through the book, and when he heard this, he reprimanded: "Didn't I say that, no one is here, who is here? Look at your anxious look."

The subordinate said bitterly: "Your Highness, I don't know who is here, but he is too high-ranking, and his coachman is Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!"

As soon as he heard Li Jinglong, Zhu Wei's head jumped. There are not many people he hates, but Li Jinglong is definitely one of them... Li Jinglong is a coachman, is it because the fourth brother is here?
King Zhu of Zhou hurriedly put down what he was doing and came out in a hurry.

When I got outside the gate of the mansion, I looked up and saw Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and looked again, but there was no Zhu Di.

He lowered his face, "What are you doing here? I'm busy here!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't move, Zhu Gaosui rushed over, "Uncle Wu, did you see that, Duke Ding Xu Jingchang and Duke Cao Li Jinglong are here to visit together, and they have something to talk to Uncle Wu about."

Zhu Huan snorted, "I know, among these two, there is one I don't bother to mention. There is another one, I heard that I just took charge of Jinyiwei. I am a vassal king, and it is not convenient to make friends with close servants. It is better not to increase troubles in vain."

After finishing speaking, this man really wanted to turn around and go back home.

The smile on Xu Jingchang's face remained undiminished. This guy Zhu Xi really did a lot of writing, and he learned a lot from the literati's poverty.

But who made him Zhu Di's good brother, in this Yongle Dynasty, he was really unscrupulous, and he could do whatever he wanted even more than himself!
Xu Jingchang took the initiative to step forward, "His Royal Highness, it seems that you have some prejudice against Jin Yiwei... Let me tell you a story to resolve the misunderstanding. A few days ago, I went to Xia Shangshu to do business, and there was a five or six-year-old The child ran up to me and told me that his father told me that I am the governor of Jinyiwei, a supervisor of hundreds of officials, with eyes and ears all over the place, and even know what their family eats. I denied it on the spot. This is absolutely slander, How could I do such a shameless thing, children, don't just believe the nonsense of adults, especially if that person is not your real father. "

King Zhou listened silently, at first he was fine, but at the last sentence he couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.It wasn't too bad a man could laugh at himself.

"Come in." Zhu Wei invited them into the mansion for the first time, and he moved to Xu Jingchang's side, "Is what you said true or false? Xia Shangshu is true... so what?"

Xu Jingchang gave Zhu Wei a blank look, "Your Highness can't tell, is this a joke?"

"Of course I can hear it, but I just don't understand. Why do you insist on talking about Xia Shangshu instead of Jian Tianguan, or Liu Shangshu? Could it be true?"

Xu Jingchang said hehe: "Your Highness, I only said that I was going to Xia Shangshu's house. I didn't say that the child belongs to Xia Shangshu. If it belongs to the housekeeper, it belongs to the coachman... By the way, it belongs to the coachman." He glanced at Li Jinglong.

Zhu Su couldn't help snorting, "If it really belongs to his family, it's their own fault... Li, tell me about you, do you still have a conscience? When I was in the capital, we were so good. We ate and slept together. Every time I was beaten, I pleaded for mercy, and then you fucking framed me! I really want to strangle you!"

Li Jinglong lowered his head helplessly, he was really sorry for his friend.

But he was really helpless, Zhu Yunqi was the emperor at that time, and he had to listen to the imperial decree!

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, put his matter aside, I want to inquire, if the three guards of the palace are abolished, do you have any opinions?"

"No." Zhu Wei replied very simply, "I don't need it. The abolition of the three guards of the palace can save some salary. The court is not easy, and the people's livelihood is difficult. It is only natural to save money and food and do some good deeds."

This time it was Xu Jingchang's turn to be surprised. He never expected that Zhu Xi was so easy to talk to. If all the vassal kings understood righteousness so well, wouldn't the affairs of the clan be easier to handle!

Obviously this is an extravagant hope, Zhu Wei is just a rare flower among the vassal kings.

"His Royal Highness Zhou, the court wants to rectify the three guards of the clan kings. It is best if you are willing to give up. If you have any requests, I can find a way to help your highness... For example, the saved military expenses can be Allocate some to renovate the palace for His Highness?"

Zhu Huan shook his head without hesitation, "No need, my palace is the original Song Dynasty Palace, and the layout is very large. It cost a lot of money to build the mansion at the beginning, so there is no rush to overhaul it. But if you can give me some money, I do have a book, and I want to print it."

As Zhu Su said, he walked to the desk, picked up a draft, and handed it to Xu Jingchang.

"This was compiled by me and some like-minded friends. It started in the 24th year of Hongwu. It is called Jihuang Materia Medica. It records more than 400 edible wild vegetables, all of which have image explanations for easy identification..."

Zhu Su was very enthusiastic to introduce to Xu Jingchang... When he was very young, Zhu Su listened to his parents telling about the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and eating bran and swallowing vegetables.Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been wandering for more than three years. He was asked to travel all over Huaixi, and Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he could eat and what he couldn't eat.

Zhu Wei was so impressed that he really started to pay attention to these things. After he became a feudal clan, he collected them carefully and kept sorting them out... Gradually, Zhu Wei collected more than 400 kinds of edible wild vegetables.

There are two-thirds of it, which have not been recorded by the predecessors.

Zhu Wei named it "Materia Medica for Relief of Famines". This booklet is not medicinal materials for curing diseases, but weeds that can satisfy hunger. If there is no food in a famine year, wild vegetables can be collected to satisfy hunger.

It also suggested some plants with similar shapes, but poisonous and inedible.

Moreover, in order to facilitate identification, Zhu Wei also described plants from the aspects of leaf vein shape, number of petals, inflorescence characteristics, etc., and taught people to distinguish them... When Xu Jingchang saw these contents, what he thought of was not that there were finally wild vegetables to eat in the famine years, but biological plants. Classification!

This guy Zhu Wei has already touched the threshold of how to classify plant science, and if he develops from this, a botany can definitely be born!

The descendants of the Zhu family are full of ambitions, and they are really talented.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, this book is indeed extraordinary, it is beneficial to the country and the people, it should be published and distributed to the world."

Zhu Huan was overjoyed when he heard that someone affirmed his work, "I am very grateful for the compliment. It only costs a lot of money to publish books. I don't have much savings, and I can't bear to talk to my fourth brother..."

"I pay!"

Li Jinglong blurted out, "I am willing to publish as much as I want! Even if it is borrowing money, I will help His Highness publish books."

Zhu Huan rolled his eyelids, and snorted coldly: "You want to spend some money to resolve the hatred between the two of us? Go ahead and dream!" Zhu Huan was very rude. He looked around, found a tray, and handed it over. In front of Li Jinglong.

"Eat, you eat the enmity between us and it's over."

When Li Jinglong saw what was on the plate, his eyeballs almost fell out. As a leading general, he also knew some wild vegetables and herbs.

"This, this is Shanglu! It's very poisonous, you want my life!"

Zhu Huan snorted, "You almost killed me too!"

Li Jinglong was dumbfounded. He peeked at Xu Jingchang, but the boy turned his eyes to the sky and didn't bother to look any further.

Helpless for a while, Li Jinglong could only grit his teeth.

"Okay, I'll eat! At worst, I'll die!"

After two mouthfuls, he ate up the Shang Lugen in front of him.

After a while, it was all right.

Zhu Huo laughed and said, "It is said in medical books that beans can detoxify, because I steamed them with bean leaves, and it seems to be really effective."

Li Jinglong stretched out two thumbs, "Your Highness is brilliant."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound in his stomach, like a thunderclap... Broken!poisoned!
"Where is the hut, I want to pay respects!"

Li Jinglong wailed at the top of his voice, it's over, thinking of my famous name in my life, the battle of Jingnan could kill me, but I died at the hands of Zhu Huan, I am so wronged!

Zhu Huan frowned, something is wrong!

I obviously steamed it with bean leaves, and I also gave it to the dog at home, and the dog was jumping around, nothing happened!

At this time Xu Jingchang couldn't bear it any longer, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, send Cao Guogong to the latrine quickly."

Zhu Huan nodded, and hurriedly took Li Jinglong to the toilet. As soon as he turned his head and came back, his family members ran in, "Your Highness, it's not good, the dog is dead!"
