I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Dinner with His Majesty

“Your Majesty, it’s time for lunch.”

The accompanying **** reminded.

Emperor Ming Cheng paused slightly and looked back at the eunuch, “Unknowingly it’s noon again. Go and ask Qin Qian to come and have dinner with me.”

“Slave, let’s do it now.”

The **** bowed and took a few steps back, then turned and left.

The ministers in the court were blushing because of the argument.

When they saw the imperial eunuchs coming to invite Qin Chi to have dinner with Emperor Ming Cheng, they were all extremely quiet.

When Qin Chi left behind the eunuch.

He didn’t look back, but he clearly felt the light of the sword on his back.

Following the imperial eunuch, they came to a palace with carved beams and painted pillars.

In the hall, smoke curled up, and the maids dressed in uniforms laid out place mats and porcelain plates with ease.

“I pay my respects to Your Majesty.”

Qin Chi stepped forward and bowed in salute.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty wore a dragon robe, which was majestic and somewhat leisurely.

He motioned Qin Chi to sit down with his eyes.

The emperor’s chopsticks are made of precious ivory, which is delicate and smooth, the bowl is made of white jade, and the porcelain plate is made of blue and white, which is elegant and delicate. The meal was sumptuous, including soft stewed wild ginseng chicken soup, fresh East China Sea yellow croaker, and fragrant palace roast duck. Every dish seemed to contain full sincerity and appreciation for the courtiers.

This was not the first time that Qin Chi accompanied Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty to eat royal meals.

When he was studying in the Imperial College, Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty heard someone mention him and summoned him once.

That time he chatted and played chess with Emperor Ming Cheng.

Afterwards we had lunch.

The dishes at that time were not as rich as they are now.

The maids whispered softly and poured plum wine for the two of them.

The wine rippled slightly in the crystal glass, exuding an alluring fruity aroma.

Emperor Ming Cheng raised his glass and said to Qin Chi with a satisfied smile on his face: “Qin Aiqing, I specially prepared this for you. I hope you won’t be polite.”

Qin Chi saluted respectfully, held up the wine glass with both hands, his face showed gratitude and respect at the right time, and softly replied: “My lord, thank you for your grace.”

Say so.

Qin Chi was thinking in his heart, is this a trick and giving another sweet date? He always had the feeling that Emperor Ming Cheng sent him to the Ministry of Industry because of the current situation.

In the past, Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty could also be called the Lord of the Ming Dynasty.

There are absurd things, but there are also achievements.

As we get older, our tempers become louder and more unpredictable, and we act more and more as we please.

For example, the last ridiculous thing was that Yuan Shangshu should have committed the serious crime of ransacking his house and beheading him, but he only solved it by sending his granddaughter to the palace. What happened last time was that the state treasury was used to build a temple. The **** enshrined is the golden body of Emperor Mingcheng himself.

I don’t know what it means to waste people and money.

All because he had a dream of attaining enlightenment and becoming an immortal.

Li Huarong opposed this matter and was dismissed from his official post by Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty.

The last thing that happened was that there was a draft at a young age, and all the outstanding ladies from the capital were included in the harem. As a result, the marriageable men could not find a suitable and satisfactory wife for a while, and they secretly complained.

There are not only three thousand beauties in the harem.

There is also a palace dedicated to several Taoist priests.

What the Taoist priest was doing in the palace was not reported to the front of the palace. Some spies vaguely guessed it. However, no one dared to publicize such imperial secrets outside. Today’s matter of forcibly detaining ministers and forcing them to settle accounts is really not a big deal. During meals.

The two ate together in silence.

There is a tacit understanding and harmony in the air.

Occasionally, the gentle footsteps of palace maids and eunuchs can be heard, as well as the melodious sound of silk and bamboo instruments in the distance.

After finishing the meal, Emperor Ming Cheng put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and said to Qin Chi with a smile: “Qin Aiqing, are you satisfied with today’s meal?”

Qin Chi quickly stood up and saluted, “Your Majesty is so kind to me, I am very satisfied with my meal.”

“Okay, step back.”

Emperor Ming Cheng spoke, and Qin Chi bowed and left again.

After a meal, I can count the words on one hand. Even so, it is a great gift for the minister.

This happened once.

Qin Chi went back to the main hall.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

A group of ministers sat together and were still discussing. The eyes of the ministers who had not taken any water were all red.

However, the look in Qin Chi’s eyes that he wanted to kill Qin Chi was not so obvious. This was a person whom Emperor Ming Cheng valued.

“Qin Qi’an, do you have a solution?”

A man with gray hair and bright eyes asked.

Qin Chi raised his eyes and saw that it was Liao Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the minister of the cabinet.

He hurriedly bowed to Liao Yong and saluted, “Which of the adults here is not as experienced as the lower official? I can just stand aside and study. I will never dare to do anything in front of you adults.”

“You can just say what you want, why are you talking nonsense?”

The Minister of War is also a military commander and speaks more directly.

Qin Chi saw that everyone else was looking at him, seemingly waiting for him to speak. He spoke slowly as if he was being chased: “I can’t come up with the specific regulations. However, I may make a suggestion. “

“When I was taking stock of Yu Heng’s inventory, I saw some old things piled up. It’s not that they can’t be reused. For example, old cotton clothes can be used by taking apart the cotton, cleaning, drying, and playing with it again. Although the quality is not as good as the new ones, They can be used after all, right? As for those discarded farm tools, they can’t be wasted, you can…”

Qin Chi has one more advantage than these ministers. He was born in the countryside and is used to seeing the suffering of the people. He knows that some of the old things accumulated in the inventory are good things for poor families. Therefore, a pile of discarded debris has a place to go after Qin Chi’s suggestion, which can be exchanged for some silver and reduce losses. As for the loss of silver, it is inevitable and we can only find other ways to make up for it.

It is true that many ministers came from poor families, but after decades of being pampered, they have long forgotten the sufferings of the people, let alone the daily needs of the people.

Someone recorded the suggestions, and then after everyone’s deliberation, the best ones were selected. Before the sun went down, I finally figured out a workable memorial.

After discussing with Qin Chi for a day, the anger of the ministers towards him was inexplicably reduced by more than half. In addition, after being hungry all day, he had no time to talk to Qin Chi and hurriedly left the palace and returned home.

The only person walking leisurely was probably Qin Chi after lunch.

“Master Qin, aren’t you in a hurry?”

A man’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Qin Chi looked back and saw that it was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, “Sir Commander, I didn’t know it was you who came here, so I’m rude.”

“It’s my fault that I’m being rude. On His Majesty’s orders, I’m here to take you back to your home.”

The commander of the Jin Yiwei has an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and he looks like a murderous **** when he walks. Both the officials and the common people were seen staying away.

Qin Chi really wanted to ask.

What does your Majesty mean by this?

Soon he realized it again.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty appraised his situation and was worried that he would be assassinated if he left the palace. He felt guilty and asked Jin Yiwei to send him home. He is really too hateful today.

Just one memorial offended more than half of the courtiers.

It’s quite capable when you think about it.
