Chapter 67 Praying Mantis Catch Cicada (2)

An autumn rain suddenly came, washing away the heat of summer.

Crystal drops of water slowly hang down silently from the petals and melt in the soil.

After the baptism of rain, the blooming flowers and plants became even more beautiful. Even the red walls and yellow tiles that were shrouded in the sun throughout the summer were filled with a different kind of vitality.

Zhu Yunxiu stood by the window, and a butterfly whose wings were damaged by the rain in his sight was struggling and flew tenaciously in the breeze. When it landed on the blooming rose, it seemed to first look at its broken wings with some resentment, and then its long tentacles fell into the stamens.

"Your Majesty, be careful of being hot!"

The turtle shame appeared quietly and presented a cup of hot tea.

"This is Pu'er, the Duke of Qian, Yunnan Province, who just presented it to you. The imperial doctor said that this kind of tea warms the stomach and promotes saliva. I saw that you have not eaten well these days, so I asked someone to make a cup for you!"

The orange-yellow tea soup ripples in the pure white porcelain, with a sweet and mellow fragrance.

"Let's put it there!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly, "How many are you sending?"

"Back to the emperor!" said the turtlema in a low voice, "The Guanglu Temple said that there are 200 good tea cakes, 300 kilograms of Pu'er green tea, and 300 kilograms of white tea..."

"I understand!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted the other party, turned to the outside and said, "Who is on duty outside?"

"I'm here!"

There are Hanlin Bachelor on duty at every moment around the emperor. They are used to act as the emperor's secretary, handle official documents and documents, etc.

After the words came to an end, Xie Jin's figure appeared outside.

When he saw him, Zhu Yunxiu's good mood was immediately discounted and he sneered, "Oh, isn't this a talented man? He disappeared one day? I heard that you were like fish in the Hanlin Academy. You would visit the Qinhuai River with a group of talented men on weekdays, and you would be happy to listen to the lyrics and sing music?"

"I have heard in the palace that I am a talented man, and I don't need to give up the talented man on the Qinhuai River. I can become the guest of the famous actors and courtesans just by relying on the talent in my hand!"

"Tsk tsk, I'm envious of this kind of erotic blessing!"

Xie Jin bowed embarrassedly when he heard this, "Emperor, I......"

"I asked you to go to the Hanlin Academy to write history. You are so good that you have become a romantic talent! Do you want to be Liu Yong of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yunsheng scolded, "Look at your best friend Tie Xuan, who is now in Zhejiang and is vigorous and vigorous. What about you? When will you share my worries and become a minister of the humerus?"

"Do you want to be a resignation for the rest of your life?"

Zhu Yunxi's dissatisfaction came from Xie Jin's own inconvenience.

He was born in the Eastern Palace and the starting point of the officialdom was the emperor's companionship since childhood. The relationship between the king and the minister was quite strong, and he was a little arrogant. Now Xie Jin is moving more and more towards the romantic.

"The Hanlin Academy itself is a place where you can wait. A group of scholars gather together without poetry and songs. Can you read the border map?"

Xie Jin felt wronged, but he did not dare to reveal it at all. He kowtowed, "I am stupid and have a heart that is unfaithful. I will restrain my words and deeds in the future!"

If he can restrain himself, Li Jinglong can become Xu Da!

The bad habits of literati are vividly reflected in Xie Jin.

Zhu Yunxiu stopped talking and then said, "I have an order to write it to the Duke of Qian!"

"Abide by the order!"

Xie Jin hurriedly tried to write paper and pen, and picked up the pen and listened.

"Although Pu'er is good, how much can I use? From Yunnan to Beijing, the road is rugged as that of Shu Road. People travel thousands of miles away to eat horses and chew it. What is the use of transporting those tea leaves in? I appreciate your kindness and know your dear filial piety!"

"I don't have to offer this tea in the future, and I can't drink it well or bad. Besides, I can't finish it alone. Your family in Yunnan should be based on military and civilians. The rivers and seas in Yunnan are clear and the people are healthy, which is your greatest reward to me."

Zhu Yunsheng and the old man's emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the tone of the imperial edicts was mostly easy to understand. Of course, the ministers also knew that if the two of them issued an imperial edict to someone, 80% of the people would be unlucky.

"The emperor has seen it!" Xie Jin sent the imperial edict to Zhu Yunxiu.

"Your word is really good!" Zhu Yunxiu sincerely praised.

Although Xie Jin used small regular script with strokes, the regular characters between the lines actually had a bit of ostentatiousness and freedom. The pen tip seemed to hide its craziness, but it was actually flying. It seemed to be graceful, but it was full of sharpness.

In terms of calligraphy, Zhu Yunyu really has no talent. His pen is just a fool of himself and he can't get to the eyes of famous artists.

In this regard, the Zhu family and others have been passed down from generation to generation. The Zhu family didn't write well, except for the old crown prince Zhu Biao.

"Send it to the Duke of Qian in Yunnan!" Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of the half-hot tea soup, tasted it slightly, and smiled, "I can't finish the tea sent from Yunnan. When you leave the palace, you will bring twenty kilograms of everything!" As he said, he continued to smile, "Don't look like tea cakes, it's not as good as the Maojian Longjing you drink, but it has a unique flavor!"

As soon as Xie Jin mentioned this, he suddenly felt energetic and smiled, "Emperor, Yunnan's tea has been famous since ancient times! According to legend, tea farmers once presented their tea to King Wu of Zhou, and the tea bricks in Yunnan during the Tang Dynasty were even more indispensable to the Western Blossom."

"This tea is more medicinal, clears and greasy, combeds the stomach and intestines, and has a bright color and a full aftertaste!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "If you can hide in government affairs, you can hide whenever you want. You can really speak up when you tea ceremony poems!" As he said, he took another sip of tea and said with some emotion, "Although Yunnan is the border area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, it looks sparsely populated and poor now, but its future is unlimited!"

"Yunnan, Yunnan, the south of colorful clouds!"

Xie Jin's eyes lit up and he spoke, "Your Majesty, I am ignorant. Where does this colorful cloud come from?"

Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, is there no saying that Caiyun South is still there?

Yunnan comes from Yunnan County recorded by the Han Secretary. The claim that Caiyun South was the most talented man in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Shen was punished for more than 30 years for political struggles. His "Nanzhao History" recorded: "In the first year of Emperor Wu of Han, Caiyun was seen in Nanzhong. It was in Baiya, Zhaozhou, Dali Prefecture, and the name of Yunnan began here."

Before Zhu Yunxiu could continue to speak, Xie Jin smiled and said, "Emperor, this sentence is so wonderful to the south of colorful clouds! The border area of ​​Yunnan, called the south of colorful clouds, has a little more meaning of high sky and light clouds and beautiful mountains and rivers!"

As he said that, he bowed his head and said, "The emperor's golden mouth, Yunnan has this elegant name, and it is bound to be a good story in history books!"

Zhu Yun's face turned red, and he invisibly took the credit of the ancients on himself.

"Pu'er comes out of Yunnan, and colorful clouds surround the green mountains!" Xie Jin spoke again, and two lines of poetry blurted out.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "This Yunnan Pu'er tea, after you get rid of the great talent, may have doubled your value!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree!" Xie Jin smiled, "The south of the colorful clouds comes from the emperor's mouth, and Yunnan tribute tea is unique. Within a few days, this tea will definitely be popular in Shilin!"

This is the case in this era. The things used by the royal family are the best in the world and are also sought after by the people of the world. In fact, not only this era, but also in any era. What the ruler uses will inevitably be flocked to the people.
