It was a natural thing for Zhang Lun to become the British Duke. His grandfather had long asked him to be the next British Duke. After his grandfather died of illness, he was appointed as the next British Duke.

Zhang Lun studied and practiced martial arts since he was a child, but unfortunately he did not show much outstanding talent, nor did he show much outstanding literary talent.

The nobles have their own way of survival. They neither need to take the imperial examinations nor work for a living, and they don't even have to go to the battlefield. Therefore, no one cares whether their abilities are high or low.

Maybe many people would be happier if they were trash.

Zhang Lun had few civil servant friends, but there were quite a few who wanted to curry favor with him, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Compared to his grandfather who used to host the Jinshi Enrong Banquet every year, he is indeed slightly inferior. No wonder some people always lament that each generation of nobles is not as good as the previous one.

It is a pity that no matter how inferior each generation is, the glory of the British government is still there, and everyone in the government is still living a luxurious life day after day. Maybe one day the British government will collapse, but that may mean that the Ming Dynasty will also collapse.

.

Sometimes Zhang Lun would also wonder, “Does he not need to study at all? Does he not need to practice martial arts at all? Does he just need to live as a British citizen?”

This morning, before Zhang Lun dawned, there were rapid footsteps outside, and then a servant came in to report that a noble person had arrived.

Ordinary people cannot be called nobles in the British government.

When Zhang Lun got dressed and went out, he saw two guys in casual clothes. One was Wang Shouwen, the current emperor of the court, and the other was the current emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Wang Shouwen said: "It's almost dawn, why are you still sleeping? Come on, bring some people, and let's go out and play together."

Wang Shouwen said: "Let's go to Tianjin for a day trip first! We don't do it all for fun, mainly because we want to exercise His Highness the Crown Prince's adaptability. When our Majesty was as old as him, he already oversaw the country alone, and His Highness the Crown Prince also

You have to learn it early!”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with deep approval, "He let the prince go out to study for two years, and also let the prince study with the lecturers for a few years, and he often took people around to teach him, and a pig could grow up a tree with his teaching.

Bar?

Now, it's time to let the prince become independent!

Zhang Lun looked at the two natural faces in front of him and had a premonition of how miserable the prince's life would be in the future.

When the Supreme Emperor asked Zhu Houzhao to supervise the country, it was easy to negotiate. How could anyone sneak away in the dark early in the morning like them and let the prince take over directly?

When an unreliable emperor meets an unreliable cabinet minister, he is doubly unreliable!

However, Wang Shouwen and Wang Shouwen did not feel unreliable at all, and even asked Zhang Lun if he would bring any cats. His cats had not had time to go home to play recently, so they planned to go to Tianjin with some of Zhang Lun's cats to play together.

Zhang Lun said: "Don't take them with you when you go out. They may not be used to traveling far away." He would occasionally pet cats to relax and know their habits better.

Zhu Houzhao actively participated in the current topic: "How about someone come to the palace and bring my king with him."

The king in Zhu Houzhao's mouth was a big tiger. It was not that he raised it specially, but that it already existed in the palace. He occasionally went over to feed it a few pieces of meat and gave it a majestic name.

At least Zhu Houzhao felt that this name was very majestic, and it suited him as a mighty general.

Wang Shouwen thought about the horrified scene of everyone seeing a big tiger on the boat, and said with a grateful expression: "Forget it, your king can watch from a distance and not play with it."

In order to prevent Zhu Houzhao from bringing up more rare and exotic beasts in the palace, Wang Shouwen urged Zhang Lun to gather his men and set out quickly.

The person was from the British Government, and the ship was of course sailed in the name of the British Government. As soon as the genius dawned, they had already set off on the boat. Before boarding the ship, Wang Shouwen also bought a circle at the dock.

He actually had the nerve to explore the alley where dockworkers buy breakfast, and even actively asked others which shop had the best steamed buns and buns.

When it was learned that a certain steamed bun shop's business had plummeted after a new owner, he even told people in a dignified manner, "I've eaten the steamed buns made by his father, and they were really delicious," as if he was very familiar with this area.

...but with his love of eating, he might have actually eaten it.

Sometimes Zhang Lun felt that Wang Shouwen not only belonged to the civil servants, he should belong to many people. For example, when he walked on this pier, he felt like he belonged to this pier.

It feels like even the air has become lively.

Zhang Lun saw that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, had no airs about him, and he and Wang Shouwen were sitting on opposite sides of the table without any image, eating a variety of coarse grain breakfasts that they would never touch at ordinary times, and finally chose to join in.

The morning sun slowly rose over the river. The three of them ate warm steamed buns and steamed buns while enjoying the river breeze. They discussed where to go to Tianjin for fun. Zhu Houzhao wanted to watch the navy training. It would be best to go out to sea to catch big fish on a sea boat!

Wang Shouwen wanted to eat delicious food. It's autumn. If we don't eat crabs at the beach, wouldn't it be a shame for our generous sea?

In recent years, the sweet potatoes grown in Shandong have been particularly good. Every year, a lot of them are sent to Tianjin, a huge shipping and water transportation station. Tianjin’s roasted sweet potatoes are one of a kind. You must eat a few more to satisfy your craving!

Wang Shouwen is obviously not from Tianjin, but when he talks about Tianjin's various delicacies, he talks about them in detail, which will make even people who don't like food get greedy.

In order to be able to eat delicious food, Wang Shouwen also tried his best to slander the option of going to sea proposed by Zhu Houzhao. Since ancient times, celebrities have done nothing good when they encounter water. He said that they are also people whose names will be left in the history books after all, and they must not do such unlucky bad things!

Zhu Houzhao was unconvinced: "Why is nothing good happening?"

Wang Shouwen helped Zhu Houzhao recall the "The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang" in "Historical Records".

It was the summer of Qin Shihuang's thirty-seventh year. The forty-nine-year-old Qin Shihuang was deceived by an alchemist and said: "I could have gotten your elixir of longevity, but it's a pity that I couldn't get it because it was often interfered by big fish."

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang might have been thinking about it all day and dreaming about it at night. At night, he dreamed of fighting a big fish for 300 rounds. After waking up, he discussed it with a doctor who was good at dream prediction and thought that he should get rid of the bad fish.

Only by dropping it can we welcome the good god, so I immediately decided to kill it myself!

What happened later is known. Qin Shihuang died not long after killing the fish, and finally returned to the capital with a stone worth of abalone as his companion.

In ancient times, the so-called "abalone" refers to pickling the fish in a similar way to pickling pickles, so that the fish maintains a delicate state of being semi-rotten but not rotten. Although it exudes a smell, it is still edible!

Upon closer inspection, it’s probably similar to the famous Anhui dish stinky mandarin fish!

In other words, Qin Shihuang ended up staying with two hundred kilograms of smelly mandarin fish!

So scary!

Our wise and mighty Majesty, you don’t want to own two hundred catties of smelly fish, right?!

Thanks to Wang Shouwen's ability to eat anything, Zhu Houzhao had seen the power of smelly mandarin fish.

When he was reading the history books, he only used a few understatement words. After Wang Shouwen described it, Zhu Houzhao suddenly seemed to smell the two terrifying odors intertwined in Qin Shihuang's carriage.

He doesn’t want to end up like Qin Shihuang!

Zhang Lun: “…………”

Only one dares to speak and the other dares to listen.

Even if something happens, what do you, Wang Shouwen, do with two hundred kilograms of smelly fish? Do you want to be like Li Si and Zhao Gao?!

Seeing that the emperor and his ministers didn't realize anything was wrong, Zhang Lun silently ate the buns in his hands without reminding them.

They arrived at the Tianjin Pier when the sun was rising high, showed their identity as the British Duke Zhang Lun to inspect the soldiers of the Tianjin Guards Station, and even took a sea boat to take a small turn on the sea. The big fish were not killed.

, I caught a lot of seafood.

At noon they sat together and had a seafood dinner.

While Wang Shouwen was eating, he complained about Haixing's many sins. He was so big and had so many legs, all of which were fed with delicious shellfish. As a result, there were not many parts that could be eaten!

What the hell!

How can they be so embarrassed!

Zhu Houzhao said: "Human starfish are so long just because they don't want to be eaten. If it was really delicious, wouldn't it have been eaten up by people like you?"

Wang Shouwen doesn't care.

Anyway, he was really disappointed with it!

Zhang Lun couldn't help laughing as he listened.

He had few civil servant friends, but his only civil servant friend became a cabinet minister at a young age.
Chapter completed!
