Chapter 27 Your Highness, do you eat fish?

Another two days flew by.

Zhu Di also began to visit Zhu Yuanzhang every day. Sometimes the two would talk, and sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with government affairs and just nodded hurriedly.

On the surface, everything looks normal.

But Zhu Di will definitely not give up until he figures out the affairs of the Minister of Industry.

He will not let go of any chance!
After two days, I finally got a clue.

However, the results found out made Zhu Di a little confused.

Yan Zhenzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, went to Jiangning County, which is only separated by a river, to hang out with a farmer every day after he came down from court.

The farmer's heel was also quickly found out, and there was nothing special about it.

Zhu Di was confused and puzzled.

Is it possible that Yan Zhenzhi has lost his mind?

But he still remembers going to court every day.

There must be unknown tricks in it.

This farmer named Cao Wei is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

……

[Countdown to return: 339 days, 13 hours, 16 minutes and 31 seconds]

At this time, Cao Wei was fishing with a fishing rod. Beside him was Yan Zhenzhi, also holding a rod in his hand, staring at the water surface intently.

Cao Wei has successfully developed Yan Zhenzhi into a fishing friend.

At the beginning, Yan Zhenzhi was very resistant to fishing with Cao Wei during "working hours".

Cao Wei invited him several times, but he shook his head like a rattle. He has never been interested in things like fishing.

But Cao Wei is also an indomitable character and continues to work hard.

Some parts of the steam engine have already been manufactured by the blacksmith, and all the improvements that Yan Zhen can make have already been made.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the rest of the parts to be built and run.

Finally, Yan Zhen couldn't help Cao Wei's constant harassing requests, and agreed to relax.

But he seems to have underestimated the activity of fishing, which involves a lot of things.

Cao Wei taught him step by step how to choose bait, how to find a position, how to make a nest...

After a set of procedures, Yan Zhen was a little dizzy.

And when he was bitten by the bait for the first time and pulled the fish up, he felt as excited and joyful as when he saw himself on the list!
He has worked diligently as an official for more than ten years, and today he finally experienced the joy of fishing under the guidance of Cao Wei.

then,

Later, Cao Wei invited him to go fishing together, and Yan Zhen was more responsive than ever.

"Wow—!"

Yan Zhenzhi saw ripples on the water surface. He swung the fishing rod hard and a plump grass carp was pulled out of the water.

Yan Zhenzhi took off the hook and put the fish into the bamboo basket next to him. Looking at Cao Wei who was looking over, he laughed twice.

The corner of Cao Wei's mouth twitched.

You are a hammer!
Forgot who taught you how to fish?
However, this does not change the fact that Cao Wei's bamboo basket is empty.

Just as the two of them held their breath again, footsteps suddenly sounded beside them.

Fortunately, the footsteps of the visitor were very light, so Cao Wei and the two continued to sit there without any reaction.

"Plop." A very small voice.

This is where the bait goes into the water.

Some people come here to fish again.

Cao Wei turned his head to look, and saw a young man about his age, with sword-like eyebrows and fierce eyes, a majestic body, dressed in a white robe, with extraordinary aura.

Behind the man, there is an old man in black with a bald forehead.

Fishing with a bald donkey?

Cao Wei secretly groaned in his heart.

Wouldn't this be a crime of killing in front of the monk?
But he didn't think much, turned his head and continued to stare at the water.

On the other side, Yan Zhenzhi, with his single-minded personality, kept his ears off what was going on around him, and only focused on the stick in his hand.

Fishing people generally don't speak easily for fear of disturbing the fish.

For a moment, the only sound was the sound of the slowly flowing stream.

Another moment passed.

at last,

Cao Wei felt the fishing rod sink in his hand, and he was overjoyed that he had it!

Cao Wei raised his hand to close the shot, but the fish below were so fierce that they wrestled with Cao Wei.

Cao Wei skillfully slowed down the pace and allowed the fish that had been hooked to struggle in the water.

Yan Zhenzhi next to him, the young man, and the old monk in black all turned their heads to look over.

Cao Wei caught a big fish!
After a while, the fish in the water lost their strength, and Cao Wei slowly closed the shot.

A huge red-tail fish was pulled out of the water, still flicking its tail from time to time.

Yan Zhenzhi exclaimed.

This fish looks like it weighs at least seven or eight pounds. It is really a big guy.

"The fisherman is lucky to catch such a red-tailed fish," said the young man on the left side of Cao Wei.

Cao Wei smiled at him, "Luck is coming, even if you can't stop it."

"Then I'm going to have your luck." The young man said, but his expression didn't change from the beginning to the end.

Yan Zhen looked over there, but could only see an old monk in black. The fisherman was blocked by Cao Wei's figure.

After another moment,
The young man finally caught a fish biting the bait, and jumped out of the water as soon as he pulled the fishing rod.

Unfortunately, the fish was too small.

"It seems that my luck is not good," the young man said lightly.

The old monk chuckled twice, but did not answer.

Time passed slowly, and the three of them drew their rods from time to time, but none of them was as big as the redtail fish that Cao Wei caught just now.

While Yan Zhenzhi was indulging in the fun of fishing, he did not forget the business.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he put away his pole and stood up, ready to call Cao Wei to go to the blacksmith shop to have a look.

"Brother Cao, it's getting late, we..."

In the middle of speaking, Yan Zhen stopped.

Cao Wei looked at him suspiciously, only to see Yan Zhen staring blankly at the young man on the other side with his mouth open.

Cao Wei frowned, did they know each other?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, why are you here?"

Yan Zhen murmured in his mouth.

When Cao Wei heard this, it was as if a thunderbolt sounded in his head, and there was a buzzing in his head!
Your Highness? !
He immediately turned his head and looked at the extraordinary young man.

He turned out to be Zhu Di? !
Cao Wei's heart was full of disbelief, but he was convinced!
During this period of time, only King Yan entered the capital, combined with the black-clothed old monk beside him, the identity of that young man is self-evident!

A few years later, it was King Zhu Di of Yan who sent troops to pacify the enemy!

That was the Ming Emperor who later sealed Lang Juxu, Emperor Yongle!
"Wow!!" Cao Wei stood up immediately.

This is the second time he has released modern classic quotations after traveling to Ming Dynasty.

The first time was when Cao Wei opened the door and saw Cao Ying passed out at the door of his house.

now,

Cao Wei has lost the indifference he had before. He was wondering if it would be disrespectful for him and Zhu Di to fish in a stream.

After all, even now, Zhu Di is already famous, and he is the vassal Zhu Di who most resembles the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in people's mouth!
No matter how big-hearted Cao Wei is, he can't remain calm in front of a vassal king who is in full swing.

The status gap between him and Zhu Di is too great!

One is the powerful vassal king of Ming Dynasty with outstanding military exploits, and the other is a farmer who can't be seen when thrown into the crowd.

It can be said that in Zhu Di's eyes, Cao Wei may be as insignificant as an ant on the side of the road, and he can be crushed to death by stretching out his hand!
With such a disparity in status, how can Cao Wei remain calm?

He picked up his bamboo basket and tentatively opened his mouth.

"Your Highness, do you eat fish? How about you take this red-tailed fish?"

Zhu Di smiled.

He turned his head and looked at Cao Wei, who was about the same age as him.

This man is really interesting.
