"Duke Wei, do you want us to prepare a carriage for you?”
The entrance of the palace was cold and lonely.
Xu Da looked at the empty palace gate and shook his head with a bitter smile.
He was summoned into the palace by the Emperor to discuss the marriage of his eldest daughter, Xu Miaoyun. Because he was drunk, the Emperor arranged for him to stay in the palace.
The servants and son who had come with him were called back by the Emperor.
Originally, when he woke up tomorrow, his son, Xu Huizu, would send someone to pick him up.
But luckily, he woke up in the middle of the night and found himself sleeping in the palace. Moreover, it was the bedroom that the previous emperor had slept in but had not used. Xu Da knew the taboo and quickly got up and left the palace that night.
He understood one thing. No matter how many years they had been brothers, the emperor was the emperor, and the officials were the officials.
If he forgot the difference between monarch and subject because of feelings, there would be a disaster sooner or later.
The Emperor had changed over the years, and he had changed as well. Xu Da understood it clearly.
Just like the five people who were with Chen Shu back then, Old Chang had died, and Li Shan Chang and Liu Bo Wen had gradually distanced themselves from him.
Xu Da sighed with emotion and rejected the eunuch's request to prepare a carriage.
"Eunuch, there's no need. The sky is already slightly bright. It should be the fourth watch!”
"I'll take a walk to sober up and eat some market breakfast.”
Seeing that the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, had refused, the eunuch returned to report.
Xu Da looked at the Ying Tian Prefecture at the fourth watch and couldn't think of where to go for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Miao Yun thought I was in the palace today. This is a good opportunity!”
"I haven't eaten Chen's Roast Goose in a long time!”
When he thought of the roast goose, Xu Da drooled.
He was no longer tired from walking, and he was also more energetic. After bidding farewell to the eunuch, Xu Da quickly headed towards the market in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
……
Not long after, the city gates opened.
A luxurious carriage entered through the city gates.
Chen Shu lifted the curtain, and the eyes of the passersby around him lit up.
What a handsome young master, gentle as jade.
However, looking at his clothes, everyone instantly understood that this young master was actually a businessman. They immediately lost interest.
The Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. Although merchants were rich, their social status was very low.
This young master looked handsome, but if he didn't seek fame, people would inevitably look down on him.
Chen Shu was already used to the gazes of passersby.
He understood the thoughts of the people in this society. Many people had already asked him why he didn't want to take an official position.
After all, in this society, even if a businessman was as powerful as Shen Wansan, he would still be exterminated by the emperor.
Only by seeking fame was the most comfortable way to live in this world.
However, Chen Shu, who was well aware of history, did not want to choose this path from the beginning.
Even if he wanted to obtain fame, he had to see who the current emperor was.
Zhu Yuanzhang, being an official under him was worse than being a businessman.
Kong Yinan, Hu Weiyong, Li Shanzhang…
Also, how many people were killed in the early Ming Dynasty?
This emperor might not be the emperor who had killed the most since ancient times, but he was definitely the emperor who had killed the most officials.
Wasn't working under him courting death?
Moreover, his investment system was naturally suited to the path of a businessman.
With the help of the system, he also obtained many things that were not available in this era.
As long as he got back his previous investment, Chen Shu wanted to find a place to build the Peach Blossom Land in his heart.
Official?
I don't even want to be a dog!
However, when he thought of his investment, or rather, his debt, Chen Shu frowned.
Now that he had already arrived at the Ying Tian Prefecture, he felt even more that his few debts were in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
The IOU in his hand was boiling hot. It was proof.
Unfortunately, after arriving at the Ying Tian Prefecture, this IOU could no longer accurately pinpoint the location of those few people.
"How should I find the Ying Tian Prefecture?”
"I wonder how these fellows are doing now?”
"If I become a high-ranking official, it will probably be a little troublesome. However, I must collect my debts, even if it's the emperor!”
"The name is fake, and I don't know his identity. Now, I can only slowly find him!”
While Chen Shu was talking to himself, the coachman sent him to a nearby inn.
He asked for the best house and studied the IOU.
Suddenly, he vaguely remembered that there was a guy called Xu San who seemed to like eating roast goose very much.
"Right!"
Chen Shu walked out of the room and asked the shopkeeper,"
"Where is the most famous Roast Goose Shop here?”
"Sir, if you want to ask about the roast goose, it should be Chen's. The roast goose in our restaurant is also not bad!”
Chen Shu thought for a moment and took out a piece of paper.
There was a portrait of a person on the paper.
"Do you recognize this person on the paper?”
"I don't know him!"
"If you see him and report him to me, you can receive a reward!”
Chen Shu put away the portrait and asked for the direction of Chen Ji before disappearing into the morning crowd of Ying Tian Prefecture.
At this moment,
The God of War of the Ming Dynasty, Duke of Wei Xu Da, was at Chen Ji Roast Goose Shop, hugging a Roast Goose Leg and eating heartily.
"It's so delicious!"
"I haven't eaten roast goose for a long time!”
General Xu chewed on the roast goose, tears streaming down his face.
Roast goose was Xu Da's favorite, but because of his back injury, his family usually did not allow him to eat it.
His daughter watched him closely, and Xu Da usually did not have the chance to eat.
Today, taking advantage of his daughter thinking that he was in the palace, Xu Da would definitely have a good meal.
"Is it delicious?"
The Duke of Wei had not eaten for long when someone suddenly asked from behind.
When he heard this, his scalp instantly went numb. Xu Da turned around and saw a peerless beauty standing behind him, laughing and laughing.
"Miao Yun, let me explain!"
In General Xu's eyes, this beautiful girl was like heaven and earth. The indomitable General Xu was like a mouse meeting a cat.
When the surrounding customers saw this scene, they couldn't help but look around curiously.
The daughter of the Xu family, Xu Miaoyun, was furious when she saw her father smiling apologetically.
"I kindly asked Zeng Shou to pick you up early in the palace, but you actually came to eat Roast Goose on your own. How many times have I told you not to eat it?”
"Have you forgotten about the illness on your back?"
The young lady's eyes were filled with rage, and Xu Da felt a headache coming on.
He was not afraid of anything. Even his two sons did not dare to provoke him. Only this daughter of his was truly afraid.
The youngest son of the Xu family, Xu Zengshou, also came with Xu Miaoyun. When he saw his father's appearance, he covered his mouth and laughed.
"Come with me!"
"I'll talk to you properly when we get home!"
The daughter of the Xu family saw her father's cowardly look and was helpless.
As a great general, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He held Xu Da's hand and was about to walk out of Chen's Roast Goose.
At this moment, Chen Shu had just arrived at Chen Ji Roast Goose Shop. He saw a girl with bright eyes and sharp teeth pulling a disheveled man out of the Roast Goose Shop. Chen Shu took a look and felt that something was wrong.
This person looked a little familiar.
"Xu San!"
Chen Shu shouted at Xu Da,"Do you still recognize me?"”
Xu Da's body trembled when he was suddenly called by this unfamiliar name.
He turned around and saw a young man with a vaguely familiar face walking over.
Xu Da had yet to speak when he saw the youth brandish his fist and give him a punch.
Xu Da fell to the ground.
Xu Miaoyun was dumbfounded. Xu Zengshou, who was paying for his father, was also dumbfounded.
The Great General of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, was actually beaten down on the streets?
