"Emperor, Emperor, where are you going? Slow down and be careful of the threshold.”
Wang Chengen jogged along beside Chongzhen and said,""Emperor, let me help you carry it.”
As he spoke, Wang Chengen was about to help Chongzhen carry the plate.
"Don't touch it!"
"Do you know what this is?" Chong Zhen shouted.”
"This is Great Ming's country!"
"I will kill whoever dares to touch it!"
Wang Chengen and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs were stunned.
This…
Was the Emperor possessed?
This was just a plate of potato balls…
Why did it involve the country?
However, since Chongzhen said so, he definitely had his reasons.
"Quick, quick, the few of you open the way in front. Don't let anyone block the Emperor's path!”
Wang Chengen quickly called a few young eunuchs to open the way in front.
Along the way, the young eunuch dispersed all the palace maids and eunuchs to clear the way for Chongzhen.
In the end, Chong Zhen arrived at the imperial kitchen unimpeded!
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Wang Chengen quickly shouted," Hurry up and pick me up!”
The imperial chefs and eunuchs in the imperial kitchen were all stunned!
Why did the Emperor come to the imperial kitchen?
Could it be that there was something wrong with their meals?
This was bad luck!
They didn't have time to think. They all knelt down and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
"Who is the manager here?”
Chong Zhen hurriedly shouted.
A managing eunuch crawled over in fear and trepidation and said,""Replying to the emperor, this servant is the steward here.”
The managing eunuch was sweating profusely. He was in fear and trepidation, and his heart was about to jump out.
If there was a problem with the food in the palace and that Empress was injured, then even if he had ten heads, it would not be enough!
Chong Zhen quickly stepped forward and brought the plate of potatoes to the eunuch.""Who made these potato balls?”
The managing eunuch was stunned for a moment. Could it be that there was something wrong with the potatoes?
Something's not right!
This potato was a rare item. Before the meal was served, he had secretly tasted it. It tasted good and was not poisonous!
What?
"Speak quickly!" Chong Zhen shouted anxiously.
"Emperor, I did this.”
A fat man with big ears and the appearance of a chef quickly crawled over.
"Are there any potatoes left?”Chong Zhen asked.
"Ah?"
The royal chef was stunned.
Did the emperor like potatoes?
"And, in the kitchen!" The royal chef hurriedly replied.”
"Quick, quick, bring me there!"
Chong Zhen urged.
The royal chef did not dare to hesitate and quickly brought Chong Zhen to the kitchen. The royal chef pointed at the wicker basket in the corner and said,"Emperor, over there!"
Chong Zhen quickly ran over to take a look. There was only potato skin left inside!
Chong Zhen's expression suddenly darkened. Wasn't this the end?
"Are there any more!"
Chong Zhen suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.
The imperial chef's body trembled slightly. Could it be that the Emperor knew that he had secretly hidden the imperial food?
The Emperor had personally come for a few potatoes!
"Emperor, I won't dare to do it again. I shouldn't have hidden the tributes…"
The royal chef was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and took out three potatoes from his pocket. His heart was bitter to the extreme. It was his first time stealing, and he had been discovered by Chongzhen!
The eunuch in charge at the side also glared at the imperial chef. Bastard, so what if he stole it? He even put it in his pocket. This time, he was caught on the spot by the Emperor!
This time, he was in deep trouble!
Wang Chengen's face darkened and he berated,""How dare you steal from the palace? Do you want to die?”
"Emperor, it has nothing to do with this servant. Emperor, please investigate!”
"Emperor, this lowly one won't dare to do it again!”
The imperial chef and the managing eunuch trembled and hurriedly begged for mercy, thinking that they were dead for sure.
However, who knew that not only did Chongzhen not punish him, he even laughed out loud!
"Haha!"
"That's great, that's great. You're the heroes of the country!”
"Big partner, give me a generous reward!"
"Reward him properly!"
Chong Zhen hugged the three potatoes in his arms as if he had found a treasure and ran out excitedly!
The entire imperial kitchen was stunned!
The managing eunuch and the imperial chef could not believe their ears!
There's a reward for stealing?
Was the Emperor crazy?
Wang Chengen almost thought that he had heard wrongly!
The Emperor rushed to the imperial kitchen just for a few potatoes?
What was going on?
Wang Chengen looked at the young eunuchs around him in disbelief and asked,""What did the Emperor just say?"
"The Emperor said that he will reward you handsomely!"
A young eunuch hurriedly replied.
"Then reward me!"
Wang Chengen said and quickly followed Chongzhen.
Chong Zhen looked at the potatoes in his arms and his eyes lit up with excitement!
The lowest yield per mu was 3,000 jin!
Big Ming is saved!
The people of Ming are saved!
Shaanxi was saved!
Chongzhen was extremely excited!
"Big companion, quickly go and find the Minister of Revenue, Hou Xun. Tell him that zhen has something important to summon him!”Chong Zhen quickly said.
"Your Majesty, the palace gates are locked. According to the rules…"
Wang Chengen was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry about that. This matter concerns the Great Ming River and the state. Call the Pavilion Elders over!”Chong Zhen interrupted.
"Sigh, alright."
Wang Chengen was helpless and could only agree. Since the Emperor had said so, he couldn't care less about those rules!
Wang Chengen was about to leave when Chongzhen quickly called out to him and said,""Wait. Also, call all the officials in charge of agriculture from the Ministry of Revenue here. No matter their rank, as long as they are in the capital!”
"Call them all over!"
"Hurry up and go!"
Wang Chengen did not dare to waste time. He quickly brought a few eunuchs and jogged all the way.
According to the rules, after the palace door was locked, it could not be opened. Even if it was an urgent matter, one could only leave the palace from the basket.
Wang Chengen and a few eunuchs acted separately.
A few eunuchs went to invite Hou Xun and the other officials of the Ministry of Revenue, while Wang Chengen went to invite Cheng Ji and a few cabinet elders.
When Wang Chengen arrived at Cheng Jiming's residence, Cheng Jiming put on his clothes and ran out.
"Eunuch Wang, what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly summon you?”Cheng Ji Ming quickly asked.
"His Majesty summoned him overnight and only said that it concerns the state of the Ming Dynasty. He asked the chief to enter the palace as soon as possible for a meeting!”Wang Chengen explained," Chief, I still have to inform the other two cabinet elders. I'll take my leave first!"”
Cheng Jiming froze. He didn't even notice how long Wang Chengen had left. His mind went blank!
Chongzhen summoned him overnight!
He even said that it was a major event that concerned the country!
Could it be that the Tartars attacked during the war in Guanning?
Cheng Ji couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly asked the servants to prepare a sedan chair and rushed to the palace!
When Qian Xiangkun and He Ruchong heard the news, they were all shocked.
There was also the Minister of Revenue, Hou Xun, and a few in-charge of the Ministry of Revenue who were in charge of agriculture. They rushed to the Imperial Palace.
When the three Pavilion Elders saw Hou Xun, it was confirmed!
"This is bad!"
"There must be a war in Guanning!”
It was no wonder that Cheng Jiming and the others thought so. Since ancient times, grain had always been the priority in war!
Even the Minister of Revenue was called over. It must be a military matter!
The few of them did not dare to delay. They entered the Imperial Palace and sprinted towards Yangxin Palace Hall. They did not have the slightest bit of authority as officials. In the process of running, Cheng Jiming's official hat fell off and he did not have time to pick it up.
