Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 536 My name is Chen Ce
Although Chen Ce's current residence is very secluded, Zhu Houzhao is still defenseless against the Zhang brothers.

Although these two uncles are a little unreliable, they are still reliable at critical moments and can distinguish priorities. Although they are a little mentally retarded, they are not really stupid.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about anything else and took them, pulling the cinchona tree, straight to Chen Ce's mansion.

"Great! Chen Ce! So you actually live here!"

"Last time you said you wanted to start a toy business. Where are our toys? When will you give them to us? We have already rented a shop, and the rent is quite a lot every month..."

"Why are you ignoring us?"

"what are you doing?"

The Zhang brothers looked at the busy Chen Ce and suddenly felt that they were like invisible people. Chen Ce didn't even look at them.

Too much, very much!

Chen Ce mixed the prepared sulfate and alcohol together, distilled quinine from the cinchona tree, and then dissolved the quinine into the sulfate and alcohol in a prepared proportion.

Chen Ce recorded the entire process.

He said to Zhu Houzhao, "Go and bring me the white silk."

"it is good!"

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly went to get the white silk, and Chen Ce put the white silk into the prepared dye. After a while, Chen Ce took the white silk out.

A shocking thing happened: the white silk was dyed purple.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned by this magical scene.

The Zhang brothers were also stunned, because they knew the recent predicament of the emperor and the ministers of the six ministries of the cabinet.

That bunch of useless people were so upset by the trouble caused by Zichou. Is this difficult? Look at Chen Ce. Did he put in any effort to think about it?

Isn't this a piece of cake?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, he fumbled with the purple silk in his hand in disbelief, and said to Chen Ce: "Little brother... this, this is not difficult? You really made purple silk?"

Chen Ce nodded slightly. He still didn't quite understand the purpose of Annan's doing this. It was meaningless. Did they really care about the three times compensation from the Ming Dynasty?
Are they so short-sighted as to lose the opportunity to trade with Ming Dynasty again for such a small amount of money? Are they crazy?

Chen Ce handed over the process of refining purple silk to Zhu Houzhao, and then said: "You hand these things over to the emperor, and let the Ministry of Industry do it accordingly. This time the trade with Annan will not be broken, so the emperor does not need to worry."

This is a great opportunity!
The Zhang brothers took the record book from Chen Ce without hesitation and said to Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "Nephew, please don't worry about it. We brothers will do this little thing for you."

"You should just focus on figuring out how to make toys with Chen Chunjian. We are waiting for the toys to be sold."

"It's just a small matter, we can just send it to the emperor."

Chen Ce and Zhu Houzhao both understood the Zhang brothers' little tricks. They just wanted to get some benefits from Emperor Hongzhi and show off.

Zhu Houzhao would never let them succeed, otherwise they would claim Chen Ce's achievements as their own.

"I want to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity with you!"

Zhang brothers: "..."

Well, they had originally planned to get more benefits, but it seems that they can only get less this time, so the two of them nodded and followed Zhu Houzhao to the Qianqing Palace.

During this period, the Zhang brothers rarely went to the Forbidden City and actually missed it a little.

As soon as they arrived at the square in front of the Imperial City, the Zhang brothers said to Zhu Houzhao, "Nephew, can we brothers also show our merits for this purple silk?"

"What have you accomplished?"

The Zhang brothers said as a matter of course: "Without our supervision, can Chen Ce refine it so quickly? Won't he be lazy?"

Zhu Houzhao: "..." Too lazy to pay attention to them, Zhu Houzhao walked quickly towards the Qianqing Palace. The Zhang brothers lamented: "Ah, this eldest nephew always has his elbows turned outward."

Just as the Zhang brothers were preparing to walk towards the Forbidden City on the snow, a woman holding an umbrella walked over not far away.

The Zhang brothers stared at Li Tao curiously. Oh my god, this girl is pretty good!
"What are you doing?"

Zhang Heling asked calmly.

Li Tao smiled and said, "My daughter, Li Tao, the Annan envoy, forgot to bring the oral instructions when I left the palace. I saw you two were walking towards the palace. I wonder if you could take me to the Honglu Temple Embassy?"

Zhang Heling smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake. Let's go."

Unexpectedly, this pretty lady is actually the envoy from Annan... Well, this reminds the Zhang brothers of Dong Yanyan, the envoy from the Jurchens. That was such a regrettable marriage!
Unfortunately, in the end, the brothers failed to get Dong Yanyan.

I wonder if we can get the Annan envoy this time?

No! Absolutely not! They are the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, how could they do such a despicable thing?

These Annan envoys are not good people. What does beauty matter when facing the interests of the country?
Zhang Heling said calmly, "Your Excellency, please go in quickly. I will take my leave now."

Li Tao hurriedly asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Enter the palace!"

Zhang Heling said calmly: "Present the purple silk!"

When Zhang Heling took out the purple silk, Li Tao was visibly stunned and asked in astonishment: "How could you ..."

Zhang Heling sneered, "How can we have purple silk?"

"Don't think that just because we have used some tricks to buy up all the blue material, we in the Ming Dynasty will not be able to produce purple silk!"

"I might as well tell you that the technology of our Great Ming is far beyond the understanding of small countries like you!"

Li Tao narrowed her eyes and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Zhang Heling said shamelessly: "The Marquis of Tai'an of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Ce!"

Well, although it is a bit shameless to say this, if we can make Chen Ce famous in Annan at this time, I believe Chen Ce will be grateful to us when he knows it.

Chen Chunjian, oh Chen Chunjian, look how good Zhang is to you!

Li Tao narrowed her eyes, stared at Zhang Heling intently, then smiled and said, "So you are Chen Ce, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

Did I lose it?

Is Chen Ce that guy so awesome? Even the envoys of the small country of Annan know his name? It's incredible! Looking at the admiring eyes of this beautiful woman, if they hadn't done something evil before, Zhang Heling really wouldn't mind having a subtle and beautiful love with her.

But this time he discovered a new world. Since Chen Ce's reputation is so useful, next time there are beautiful girls from other countries who are envoys, can he do something with them?

Zhang Heling snorted slightly, put his hands behind his back and left.

Zhang Yanling was stunned and asked, "Brother, why are you pretending to be Chen Ce?"

Zhang Heling said: "I am doing a good deed to promote Chen Ce's reputation!"

Zhang Yanling: "But I clearly feel that you want to use Chen Ce's reputation to cheat people?"

"Bullshit!" Zhang Heling shouted, "No matter how beautiful the envoy of the small country of Annan is, I will not be interested. We, the Ming Dynasty, have a grudge against them!"

The two brothers had no idea that a pair of cold eyes as cold as a venomous snake had locked onto them from behind!
