Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 34 Yu Qian, smoking, drinking, and getting a perm

Qianqing Palace.

After the morning court session, Zhu Qizhen began to exercise. Anyway, no memorials had been sent to him, so they had all been sent to the Empress Dowager. In his heart, he refused to review the memorials.

Who would read the memorials for a proper emperor? Is he a proper emperor if he reads memorials day and night? He should be like Taizong, leaving the work to his son and ministers, and go to Mobei for the fifth time.

"I will examine myself three times a day!"

After running a lap, he was already sweating all over and felt his strength had increased. He clenched his fists suddenly, and there was a crackling sound, which was very exciting.

In order to test how strong he was now, he turned his head and looked at a willow tree as thick as a bucket next to him. He walked to the willow tree, took a horse stance, and leaned down with his right hand, turning his body upside down; he grabbed the upper part of the willow tree with his left hand, sank his waist suddenly, and exerted force with both hands.

"Wow~" Yu Qian, who had just come in, was so shocked when he saw this scene that his jaw dropped.

With a loud bang, Zhu Qizhen uprooted the willow tree. Yu Qian couldn't believe his eyes. Throughout history, only Your Majesty has uprooted a weeping willow tree.

Bang!

Zhu Qizhen threw the willow tree aside and clapped his hands, looking very relaxed. Yu Qian hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, with a look of amazement on his face: "Your Majesty, your strength must be at least a thousand pounds, right?"

"It's only a few hundred kilograms." Zhu Qizhen clenched his fists, a gleam in his eyes, "I can be even stronger!"

Yu Qian smacked his lips.

Your Majesty knows shame and then becomes brave, and has supernatural power, comparable to Xiang Yu, the King of Chu.

"Old Yu, do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"I am here to report on the suppression of the rebellion in Guangdong and Guangxi," Yu Qian said in a bow. "Marquis of Ningyang Chen Mao's army arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi and was unstoppable. The mob was defeated repeatedly."

After listening to this, Zhu Qizhen praised Yu Qian highly.

"Old Yu, I trust you to do the work!" He waved his hand, "Wait for me, let's go out for a walk together. Didn't you say that you, Yu Qian, have three major hobbies?"

Yu Qian: “???”

Zhu Qizhen spread his hands and said, "Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair. I want to try that, too."

Yu Qian is confused.

……

Half an hour later.

Zhu Qizhen took Yu Qian out of the palace and walked on the street. Yu Qian seemed a little reserved, he didn't know what the emperor was up to.

Arriving at a tavern, Zhu Qizhen went up to the second floor and sat down by the window. He ordered three dishes and two pots of wine.

"Your Majesty, I still have a lot of official business to attend to." Yu Qian looked embarrassed.

"Old Yu, can't you drink with me?" Zhu Qizhen said angrily, "I'll pay!"

Yu Qian smiled and raised his glass.

He liked the current emperor better. On that day, he was majestic and had the air of a king in the court. But on weekdays, His Majesty seemed very friendly, like a friend.

"Old Yu, do you know what's on the other side?" Zhu Qizhen pointed across from the tavern.

It was a rice shop, with horse-drawn carriages coming and going to deliver rice, with bags piled up one on top of the other. Yu Qian looked at them, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he snorted, "Swindlers! How many people are starving, and these profiteers are still raising the price of rice. No wonder Emperor Taizu Gao hated merchants."

Zhu Qizhen smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

At this time, two people walked in from the opposite side. They turned out to be Xu Youzhen and Li Xian. Yu Qian saw these two people and became alert. Weren't they investigating the granary case?

When Xu Youzhen and Li Xian arrived at the entrance of Mihang, they were stopped. It was unknown what they said. A dozen of Mihang's followers rushed out and surrounded Xu Youzhen and Li Xian.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going up to help?" Yu Qian asked.

"No!" Zhu Qizhen shook his head decisively, "They are so numerous and powerful, we will go up and get beaten." Yu Qian: "!!!"

However, there was no fight. Xu Youzhen reacted quickly and smiled shamelessly, so Mi Xing's people let them go.

……

"How can the people in this rice business be so arrogant?" Anger rose in Yu Qian's eyes.

"He's a seventh-rank official at the doorstep of the prime minister." Zhu Qizhen smiled and spread his hands, "Do you know who the owner of this rice shop is?"

Yu Qian was stunned, realizing that His Majesty had brought him here on purpose to watch this show. He asked, "Who is it?"

Zhu Qizhen put down his wine glass and said slowly, "It's Duke Cheng."

Yu Qian reacted quickly and asked, "Your Majesty, did all the stolen grain from the granary end up in the rice shop of Duke Chengguo?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded. He liked dealing with smart people who could understand things quickly.

"Your Majesty, what is your intention in bringing me here to watch this?" Yu Qian asked, looking up.

"It's just a coincidence." Zhu Qizhen raised his glass, "Come on, let's continue drinking."

Yu Qian drank a sip of wine silently, with a fierce struggle in his heart. In his opinion, the Queen Mother was still worried about His Majesty and still controlled the government. And His Majesty was eager to prove himself. He didn't want to get involved in this fight between mother and son, unless one of them was truly working for the people.

"Uncle Yu?" a voice suddenly came.

Yang Guifang came over from the stairs. She looked so elegant and graceful that many people in the bar looked at her sideways. Yu Qian was very surprised to see Yang Guifang: "Xiaofang? You are in Beijing?"

"Uncle Yu, please don't call me like that, okay? It sounds like you're calling a girl." Yang Guifang's eyes swept over and finally landed on Zhu Qizhen. She exclaimed, "Brother Zhu, you're here too? Do you know Uncle Yu?"

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't be rude, the person in front of you is His Majesty."

Yang Guifang took a step back in fear, her face horrified: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to signal: "I am only here incognito to drink. Please stop standing and sit down."

……

The three of them sat down again.

Yu Qian mentioned Yang Guifang, and it turned out that Yang Rong had asked him to help take care of the youngest son of the Yang family before his death. Yang Guifang quickly recovered from her shock and did not seem to be restrained because of the emperor's presence.

"Uncle Yu, I'm here to take the exam this time." Yang Guifang said, "When I pass, I'll join your military department."

"Boy, you are so arrogant." Yu Qian glared, "You can enter the Ministry of War just because you want to?"

Yang Guifang was full of youthful vigor and said confidently, "I have read military books over the years and will definitely assist Your Majesty in conquering the grasslands in the future."

Zhu Qizhen looked at the arrogant young man in front of him and felt like he was meeting Huo Qubing. He didn't think that what he said was bragging.

Snapped!
Yu Qian slapped Yang Guifang on the back of the head and glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense! Wait until you pass the imperial examination and speak again."

Yang Guifang curled her lips.

Yu Qian glanced at Mi Xing outside, stood up and bowed slightly to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now and take this child to see his elder brother."

"Okay!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand.

Yu Qian took Yang Guifang away, and Zhu Qizhen continued to drink.

He rubbed his eyebrows and muttered quietly: "It's too difficult to subdue a hero!"

However, he was not impatient. If Yu Qian nodded and bowed to show his submission, he would feel uneasy.
