Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, who had a reputation as a virtuous man, was demoted to Yunnan after Jianwen reduced the vassal status.
Later, Zhu Di was brought back to the custody of Yingtian, and until Zhu Di entered the city, he was finally out of the sea of misery. In order to comfort his brother, Zhu Di also gave him an additional salary of three thousand dan, bringing Zhu Di's salary to 5,000 dan.
Among all the kings, he ranks first. Even his two biological sons Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui cannot compare with him.
Xu Jingchang also knew these things, but he was not familiar with Zhu Xi, and he was not willing to make friends with the vassal king, so he had not paid a private visit to Zhu Xi.
And Zhu Xi didn't come to Xu Mansion either.
This time was his first visit to King Zhou.
Xu Jingchang looked at it and asked Zhu Gaosui, "Is your fifth uncle easy to deal with? Is it easy to be deceived... accept guidance?"
Zhu Gaosui thought for a while and told Xu Jingchang seriously, "As for the fifth uncle, he is probably harder to deceive than the second brother."
Xu Jingchang's expression changed slightly. He looked like he was an average-to-lower opponent. It wasn't too difficult, so he could rest assured.
Zhu Gaosui paused and added: "Well... let me remind you one thing. My fifth uncle is good at everything, but he has a habit of giving people some weird stuff. Just don't eat it.
."
Li Jinglong blurted out, "I am willing to contribute any amount! Even if it is a loan, I will help His Highness publish the book."
"This is compiled by me and some like-minded friends. It started in the 24th year of Hongwu's reign. It's called Materia Medica for Saving Famines. It records more than 400 edible wild vegetables, all with graphic explanations for easy identification..."
"Come in." Zhu Xi invited them into the house for the first time, and he even came close to Xu Jingchang, "Are you telling the truth or not? Is Xia Shangshu really... so what?"
Zhu Xi is still in the capital and has not returned to Kaifeng. His residence is next to the Zongren Mansion.
After saying that, this person really wanted to turn around and go back home.
Li Jinglong's eyes almost dropped when he saw what was on the plate. As a general, he also knew some wild vegetables and herbs.
But who said he was Zhu Di's good brother? In this Yongle Dynasty, he was really unscrupulous and did whatever he wanted even more than himself!
Xu Jingchang took the initiative to step forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, it seems that you have some prejudice against Jin Yiwei... I will tell you a story to resolve the misunderstanding. A few days ago, I went to Xia Shangshu's place to do business, and there was a five or six-year-old man
The child ran up to me and told me that his father told me that I was the Chief Superintendent of the Imperial Guard, supervising all officials, and that I had spies everywhere and even knew what their family was eating. I denied it on the spot. This was definitely a slander.
How could I do such a dishonorable thing? Children, don't just believe in the nonsense of adults, especially when that person is not your biological father."
Zhu Ting snorted, "I know, among these two, there is one I am too lazy to mention. There is another one. I heard that he has just taken charge of Jinyiwei. As a vassal king, it is not convenient for me to make friends with close servants, so I don't want to add to the trouble."
Li Jinglong wailed at the top of his lungs, "It's over. I thought I would be famous all my life, and even the Battle of Jingnan could kill me, but I died in the hands of Zhu Xi. I'm so unjust!"
Zhu Tie was so impressed that he really started to pay attention to these. After he became a feudal lord, he collected them carefully and kept sorting them... Gradually, Zhu Tie collected more than 400 edible wild vegetables.
When he heard about Li Jinglong, Zhu Rui's head jumped. There were not many people he hated, but Li Jinglong was definitely one of them... Li Jinglong was the coachman, could it be that the fourth brother was here?
King Zhu Zhu of Zhou hurriedly put down what he was doing and hurried out.
Zhu Zhu shook his head without hesitation, "No need. My palace is the original Song Dynasty palace. It is very big. It cost a lot of money to build the palace. I am not in a hurry to repair it. But if you can give me some money,
I do have a book that I want to print."
Since Zhu Di became emperor, Zhu Ji has been the oldest and highest-ranking king among the clan kings, and currently serves as the clan leader.
Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, then carefully observed his words and expressions, and found that there was a trace of fear deep in Zhu Gaosui's eyes. Xu Jingchang's heart skipped a beat, and it seemed that he had to be more careful.
The subordinate said bitterly: "Your Highness, I don't know who is coming, but his status is too high. His coachman is Cao Guogong Li Jinglong!"
Two-thirds of this has never been recorded before.
"I'll pay for it!"
If several of Zhu Yunwen's brothers could stand up and accuse Zhu Yunwen of being unfilial, no matter what Zhu Di said, it would be more effective. If Zhu Yunwen's youngest son could survive, wouldn't it just show his kindness?
Therefore, Zhu Di did not rush to take action, but asked Zhu Xi to help deal with the matter.
Li Jinglong extended two thumbs up and said, "Your Highness is brilliant."
Zhu Ru hummed: "You almost killed me!"
Xu Jingchang chuckled and said: "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 is the steward's or the coachman's... By the way, it belongs to the coachman." As he said that, Xu Jingchang said
He glanced at Li Jinglong.
Zhu Tie laughed and said: "It is said in medical books that beans can detoxify, because I have steamed bean leaves and it seems to be really useful."
Zhu Ju has already touched the threshold of how to scientifically classify plants. If this continues, a botany will definitely be born!
Zhu Ru rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly: "You want to spend some money to resolve the hatred between us? Just go ahead and dream!" Zhu Ru was very rude. He looked around, found a tray and handed it over.
In front of Li Jinglong.
But he was really helpless. Zhu Yunwen was the emperor at that time, and he had to listen to the imperial edict!
Li Jinglong lowered his head helplessly, truly feeling sorry for his friend.
"This, this is pokeweed! It's very poisonous, and you want my life!"
Zhu Xi agreed, but he was also a fisherman in troubled waters.
Zhu Tie couldn't help but snorted, "If it's really from his family, then it's his own fault... Mr. Li, tell me, do you still have a conscience? When I was in the capital, we were so good. We ate and slept together.
Every time you get beaten, I plead for you, and then you fucking frame me! I just want to strangle you to death!"
We might as well gather a group of famous scholars and masters in the apricot forest in the capital, hiding at home and compiling books. Compared to Xu Jingchang's listening to music and fishing, it was much more elegant.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumble in his stomach, like a thunderous explosion... It was broken! He was poisoned!
"Where is the latrine? I want to go out!"
When I got outside the mansion, I looked up and saw Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui. I looked again and saw that Zhu Di was not there.
Zhu Ju named it "Herbal Medicine for Famine Relief". This booklet is not medicinal materials for curing diseases, but wild herbs that can satisfy hunger. If there is a famine year and there is no food, you can collect wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger.
Zhu Rui said, walked to the desk, picked up a first draft, and handed it to Xu Jingchang.
Zhu Di's decision to keep him in the capital also involved some sensitive matters. For example, although Zhu Yunwen died, there were still several brothers still alive. In addition, Zhu Yunwen also had a young son. These people were considered Zhu Biao's family. How should Zhu Di deal with it?
Didn't think it through either.
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyes at Zhu Xi and said, "Your Highness, can't you tell that this is a joke?"
The smile on Xu Jingchang's face did not diminish. Zhu Rui had indeed practiced a lot of books, and he had learned a lot from the poor literati.
Zhu Rui was overjoyed when he heard someone affirming his work, "Thank you for the compliment. It just costs a lot of money to print books. I don't have much savings, and I can't bear to talk to my fourth brother..."
He ate up the pokeweed root in front of him in just two mouthfuls.
Zhu Gaoxu did not move, and Zhu Gaosui hurriedly ran over, "Fifth uncle, have you seen that today Duke Ding Xu Jingchang and Duke Cao Li Jinglong came to visit together. There are some things that I want to talk to my fifth uncle."
"Your Highness, someone wants to see you!"
Li Jinglong was stunned. He peeked at Xu Jingchang, but the boy turned his eyes to the sky and was too lazy to look further.
His face darkened, "What are you doing here? I'm busy here!"
"Of course you can hear it, but I just don't understand why you insist on talking about Xia Shangshu instead of Jian Tianguan, or Liu Shangshu and the others? Is it true?"
"Eat, you'll be done with it if you take our revenge."
"His Royal Highness King Zhou, this book is indeed extraordinary and will benefit the country and the people. It should be published and distributed throughout the world."
It also suggests some plants that are similar in shape but contain toxins and are inedible.
The descendants of the Zhu family are full of great ambitions and talented people.
Zhu Yu was very enthusiastic to introduce Xu Jingchang... When he was very young, Zhu Yu listened to his parents telling about the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and eating chaffy vegetables. Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been homeless for more than three years, and the Huaixi area allowed him to
After walking around, Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything he could eat and what he couldn't eat.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Highness, King Zhou, let's put aside his matters. I would like to ask, if the three guards of the palace are abolished, do you have any opinions?"
"Your Highness King Zhou, the imperial court wants to rectify the three guards of the clan kings. If you are willing to give up, that would be the best. If your Highness has any other requests, I can find a way to help you solve it... For example, the saved military expenses can be
Allocate some to renovate the palace for His Highness?"
"No." Zhu Rui replied simply, "I don't need it. By abolishing the three guards of the palace, I can save some salary. It is not easy for the court and the people's livelihood is difficult. It is natural to save money and food and do something good."
While they were talking, Li Jinglong and Zhu Gaoxu brought the carriage over, and the four of them got on it... 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 of the carriage to catch the carriage.
After a while, it turned out to be okay.
Historically, Zhu Di demoted them to common people, imprisoned them, and kept them under strict supervision.
But after listening to Xu Jingchang's words, Zhu Di found that it was better to keep some people than to kill them.
After a long moment of helplessness, Li Jinglong could only grit his teeth.
"Okay, I'll eat it! At worst, I'll die!"
Obviously this is an extravagant hope, Zhu Xi is just a strange flower among the vassal kings.
And in order to facilitate identification, Zhu Ji also described the plants in terms of leaf vein shape, number of petals, inflorescence characteristics, etc. to teach people to distinguish... When Xu Jingchang saw these contents, what he thought of was not that there were finally wild vegetables to eat in the lean years, but living things.
Academic classification!
King Zhou listened silently. It was okay at first, but at the last sentence he couldn't hold back and started laughing. This man can laugh at himself, so it's not too bad.
Zhu Tie was flipping through a book. When he heard this, he reproached him: "Didn't I tell you that no one is there? Who is coming? Look at how anxious you are."
This time it was Xu Jingchang's turn to be surprised. He never expected that Zhu Xi could be so easy to talk to. If all the vassal kings understood the righteousness so well, wouldn't the affairs of the clan be easier to handle!
Zhu Zhu frowned, something was wrong!
I had obviously steamed it with soybean leaves, and even fed it to the dog at home. The dog jumped up and down, so nothing happened!
At this time Xu Jingchang couldn't help it anymore, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, please send Duke Cao to the latrine quickly."
Zhu Zhu nodded and hurriedly took Li Jinglong to the toilet. As soon as he turned around and came back, a family member ran in, "Your Highness, it's not good, the dog is dead!"
