Chapter 301 Fat is not a sin

Zhang Fu came out of the imperial city and told Dazui Zhu Neng that since he was appointed as the deputy general and dared not to lose his life, he would go to do business now.

So the two bid farewell, Zhu Neng left Hongwu Gate, Zhang Fu stayed in Qianbulang and went to the Jinyiwei Office.

As Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was not in the yamen office, so Zhang Fu was called to wait in the lobby.

There were two people in the hall inside, whispering, one of whom was pretty and short, only to the shoulders of the other general.

The tall voice said: The man in the hall cannot even be neglected. Mr. Yang, please hurry up and ask someone to serve tea.

The short Mr. Yang asked curiously: What is the origin?

The tallest man said: He is a marquis.

Mr. Yang said oh... Zhang Fu also knew that in this Thousand Steps Gallery, there were really any visible tribes, princes, and nobles.

The tallest man continued: The newly-established Marquis of Xincheng.His father was Duke Rong, who was posthumously conferred, and he died in battle for the emperor on the battlefield. His sister was Concubine Zhang, who had just been conferred!

At this time, General Yang quickly walked to the lobby. He did not serve tea, but said: Mr. Zhang wait for a moment, and the last one will go back to the commander immediately.

Zhang Fu did not take the airs and bowed: I'm working hard.

Sure enough, as long as the people in the government office do things very quickly, they can do things they care about.After a while, Ji Gang walked in with a smile on his face, and Mr. Yang followed him very close to him.

Ji Gang clasped his fists and bowed, and smiled: It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, the Marquis of Xincheng, and he was a rare guest.There will be a loss in the end!

Zhang Fu had already heard of Ji Gang's reputation, and this guy's reputation was getting worse and worse, and he was already very bad.

Zhang Fu didn't say much, and said politely and coldly: I've disturbed Commander Ji. I came today to ask Commander Ji to borrow someone.

Ji Gang hurriedly asked: Who?You said!

Zhang Fu said: Huang Zhong.

Ji Gang looked embarrassed and pondered: The carelessness of Huang Zhong made the emperor's face damaged and the dragon's face furious. This...

Convicted?Zhang Fu asked.

Ji Gang frowned and shook his head and said: That's not yet.

Zhang Fu said: I have just been granted the title of deputy general of Annan. This person is of great use. If I have a way to get it out, I don’t have to bother the emperor about this little thing.

There is a way!Ji Gang nodded immediately.He seemed to suddenly realize that Zhang Fu was also a good person in front of the emperor, and his attitude changed immediately.

Zhang Fu asked curiously: What method?

Ji Gang said: I will ask Yang Yong to go and release Huang Zhong from the imperial prison.

Zhang Fu: ...

Zhang Fu said in his heart that it was nothing more than pretending to be a garlic in front of me!Although they are all military officers, Zhang Fu looked down on this person from the bottom of his heart. He and the civil servants are in the same way.

...The news spread very quickly, and the candidate for the general to conquer Annan was soon spread in the imperial city.

When the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi of the Eastern Palace heard the news, he was coming out of Wenhua Palace and preparing to take a car to return to Chun and have lunch with the palace.He was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, immediately repelled the carriage and asked someone to support him and walk back to the palace.

But Zhu Gaochi was already hungry and his eyes were shining with golden light. He walked over with difficulty, and soon he was sweating profusely and his legs became weak.

The father has high hopes for his son and ministers, but his sons cannot let him down, and he can get thinner even if he walks more.Zhu Gaochi was panting while muttering something.

The group finally arrived at Chunhua Gate and suddenly heard a palace maid's voice saying: I'm almost starving, when will I have to eat?

Another voice said: There is only vegetable porridge when you eat.

At this moment, the eunuch at the door said: Meet the prince.

Zhu Gaochi walked into Chunhua Gate and saw that the two palace maids had pale faces and had already knelt on the ground. Both of them were begging for mercy: I deserve to die, I deserve to die!

After getting up, I will ask people to think of ways.Zhu Gaochi acted very gentle, and after that, he sighed softly.

Although he didn't like eunuchs, he was very good to the palace maids, and of course he didn't mean to hunger them on purpose.

It’s because he can’t do anything, the Eastern Palace really has no food!

A palace maid starved to death last month... But his father, Zhu Di, was the opposite. Zhu Di did not like palace maids, but he believed in eunuchs.

Will people starve to death in the Eastern Palace of the Ming Dynasty?If it weren't for Zhu Gaochi's personal experience, he wouldn't have believed such a thing.

Since the beginning of this year, the imperial court has been doing several major things, building the palace city in Beijing and planning to move the capital; Zheng He wanted to voyage to the West, built more than 200 sea boats and brought 30,000 people; the official army wanted to conquer Annan... It was all about spending money like flowing water.

But these are not the reasons for starving the palace maids of the Eastern Palace to death, and the court is not short of this little money.

The reason seems ridiculous in Zhu Gaochi's opinion: his father forced him to lose weight!

The way to lose weight is also very rough and ridiculous, which is to reduce the money and food in the Eastern Palace and only give a small amount of money and food.

Zhu Di was good to his two grandsons. He took them to the harem every day and ate them big fish and meat, and only harshly treated the rest of the Eastern Palace.

Of course, there is no effect. There are so many eunuchs and maids in the Eastern Palace, and they will not eat alone.

For several months, Zhu Gaochi has not even lost a pound of meat, only the eunuchs and palace maids have lost weight after starving, and one of them has starved to death.

Zhu Gaochi returned to Chunhe Palace in a depressed mood, and the Crown Princess Zhang had already prepared lunch.At this time, I didn't see Zhu Zhanji, and it seemed that I had been taken to the imperial kitchen to eat.

There was a plate of pickles and two plates of cooked vegetables on the table, both of which were not a little oil and meat, and a bowl of rice.

Go down.Zhang said.

Several palace maids bent their knees and left the palace.Zhu Gaochi sat silently at the table, picked up chopsticks and picked up the bowl, and he picked up the few pieces of fat pork below.

Zhang smiled and looked at him lovingly: Please ask the prince for a meal.

For some reason, Zhu Gaochi's fatterness is, the more he likes to eat fatty meat, and the essence cannot satisfy his craving. He grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth. As he chewed it, his heart felt sore and suddenly a few tears fell.

Oh, Prince, what's wrong with you?Zhang asked nervously.

It would be fine if he didn't ask him, but after asking this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help sobbing... He was buried with many grievances and never dared to say them; and the matter of losing weight made him feel deeply malicious.

Zhu Gaochi said in his heart: What's wrong with being fat?Is fat people guilty?!

He feels wronged!

Although the father and the queen told her that she was good for the prince, she was better at losing weight, and could ride horses and shoot arrows.

But Zhu Gaochi's feelings were not like this. He felt that his father was disgusting himself, and he thought he was not good at figure and embarrassing the royal family!

It seems to be saying how reluctant and embarrassing you are to be the prince. If you have a solution, it would be better not to give birth to you, a fat man!

Zhu Gaochi felt that he was greatly hurt inside, not as simple as the desire for words and words was not satisfied.

He was resentful!

The dignified emperor did such a ridiculous thing and treated his own son like this.Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, I have never seen the emperor so paranoid or doing such a thing.

Zhang took the handkerchief and gently wiped Zhu Gaochi's face, comforting him softly.

Zhu Gaochi finally spoke: My second brother gave a pair of jade artifacts to his father, the emperor and his mother, which is said to be worth 50,000 jin.I thought by chance that it would be better to be a vassal king like my second brother...

Don't say stupid things.Zhang's expression changed and he hurriedly whispered, "The Crown Prince is the eldest son. If you can't become the Crown Prince, it's not that light."These words don't have to be said by me.

Um!Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and nodded, then stuffed another piece of fat into his mouth.

He ate in silence, and soon he ate all the food on the table, feeling that he was not full.

It turns out that his appetite is not that big. His dishes have not been very meaty in recent months, and he has eaten more.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi spoke again, not so hungry, and he calmed down a lot and said calmly: The general who conquered Annan has been elected.There were two large armies, and the Guangxi Dusi had the most people. Zhu Neng was the general of the Yi and Zhang Fu was the right deputy general of the Yi. He would soon set off for Guangxi; the Yunnan route was led by Gao Xu.Advance two ways.

After hearing this, Zhang thought for a while and asked: Is there a left deputy general missing? Is Gao Xu the deputy general?

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said: Gao Xu is a prince after all, how could he be a deputy general?The father's imperial edict was to "receive each other's momentum and work together to succeed", which was probably the same as Gao Xu and the General of the Conquering Yi.However, because Gao Xu is the prince, he is on par with equal military power and he has already gained the upper hand. If he has different opinions, he will probably listen to him.

Zhang nodded slowly: If this battle is successful, Gao Xu will make even greater contributions.

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: In the eyes of his father, the most useful person is of course Gao Xu, and Gao Sui is the most painful person.I, the eldest son... Speaking of this, he didn't continue.

Zhang also winked, not wanting him to continue talking.

I also have some jewelry. I will call a confidant servant tomorrow and secretly take it out for some money.Zhang said kindly.

Zhu Gaochi said with a embarrassed look: There are so many people in the Eastern Palace, and the inner treasury does not pay, so what's the use of relying on jewelry alone?

Zhang pondered for a moment and said: Our royal family married the two sisters of the Song family and are still in the capital.I heard that Song Sheng was the only one in the northwest, but I was afraid he was so rich.When the two sisters got married, the dowry given by their father was like a mountain of gold and silver.The prince is the eldest brother and cannot speak. I am finally a woman. I don’t care about my face and go back to borrow some from their families to help you, the elder brother.

Zhu Gaochi's face was hot. He was so embarrassed that he, as a prince, was so embarrassed.But thinking about the hungry and weak palace maids in the East Palace, even if they continue, they will die, so he didn't say anything.

Mrs. Zhang quietly held his chubby hand and blew the wind in her ears: Prince, don’t worry, no matter how rich or poor, I will be on the same side as you!

Zhu Gaochi felt as boring as his hand to Zhang, but when he heard her words, he felt soft and his words sounded much better. After all, he was a wife, and he was sincere in times of adversity!

Zhang threw away a very embarrassed eye from Zhu Gaochi and said in a sweet voice, "It's good that the prince knows."
