Officials from Honglu Temple came to deliver an edict, saying that although the imperial court did not want to annex the country, Prince Hayi was commendable for his loyalty, and specially rewarded ten gold dollars and one hundred silver dollars. 1 10
Holding gold and silver coins in his hand, Prince Hayi thought about it for a long time, and probably understood what it meant, and then went to play happily. 2 10]
A Yangtze River Navy ship sailed quickly from the lower reaches, and ten or one soldiers landed one by one.
Judging by their clothes, you can tell that they are naval reserve officers.
All in canvas military uniform and a navy cap, but the epaulettes are blank.
The second prince, Zhao Kuangbiao, will soon be twenty-one years old. 11]
He first graduated from Huangcheng Middle School, and went to Jinling University for four years, but without any suspense, he didn't get his diploma. At this time, you can become a king, or you can extend your studies for one year (after adjustment

The royal family and the clan have already set the rules, there are only two options - one is to earn the title honestly, with a dead salary, except don't rebel, the rest is up to you;
One is to take the imperial examination and give up the title, but there is an upper limit to the rank of an official, and it is never possible to become a cabinet minister. 1 13
Zhao Kuangbiao wanted to try the third way. After graduating from Jinling University, he went to Chongming Naval Academy. Jen 8
This military academy was built on Chongming Island, and some officials suggested changing the name of Chongming Island. Zhao Han snapped back: "There was a theory of Chongming in the Tang Dynasty, did the Tang people know that there would be a great Ming Dynasty?"

Now, Zhao Kuangbiao has successfully graduated, and he can serve as a naval officer while being a prince (the upper limit is that he cannot enter the Navy Governor's Mansion). Ren 4
Eight of those who went back to Nanjing with Zhao Kuangbiao were his bodyguards, and the remaining two were classmates who returned home after graduation. They have been assigned work, and after the Chinese New Year, they will go to

"Unexpectedly, this rich and expensive car has already spread to Nanjing." Zhao Kuangbiao rubbed his hands and let out a breath. Jen 5]
?Classmate Cui Wenmao stomped his feet and said, "The weather is getting colder and colder. I never heard that the Yangtze River has been frozen for several years." 2 2]
Classmate Wang Chongxi smiled and said: "What is this? It is said that more than a hundred years ago, the sea outside Chongming Island was frozen."
Zhao Kuangbiao teased: "Cui = What are you afraid of? The Qiulong you will serve next year will be stationed in Malacca for a long time, and the winter there is very warm. Don't be afraid of the cold, you can enjoy the sun every day.
What about Yang?

Cui Wenmao was quite speechless: "I would rather serve as a soldier in Guangzhou, and Malacca is too far away." Jen 2]
"Your Highness, why don't you go back to the palace first?" a guard reminded.
"Let's go shopping, I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time." Zhao Kuangbiao has long since gone wild, so he doesn't want to go back to the Forbidden City and wait.
As for the eight guards, although they accompanied the Second Prince to the Naval Academy, they will no longer be in charge of protection as long as the Second Prince officially serves. You can continue to be a guard in Nanjing,
It is also possible to obey the arrangement and go to the navy as an officer. Jen 8
Zhao Kuangbiao didn't even want to enter the city. He walked from the pier-road to the base of the city wall, and wandered around along the city wall.
Walking to the northeast corner outside the city, Cui Wenmao covered his nose and said, "It stinks!
Wang Chongxi cheered up: "There must be a store that sells Jinling Shuangqi. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Let's go and try it."
Jinling Shuangchou is pig large intestine and stinky tofu, which can be fried together, boiled together, or steamed together. The negative is positive, and the smell is fragrant, which belongs to the beauty of the middle and low class people.
Food. {13]
Zhao Kuangbiao became interested: "I've heard about Jinling's double stink for a long time,
I haven't eaten it yet, but I have to try something new today. "
Cui Wenmao came from a powerful family, he shook his head again and again: "Your Highness, it's better not to eat it, pig_¡ª¡ªeh, I don't have an appetite when I say it." Ren 8
"Try it before we talk." Zhao Kuangbiao smiled. twenty one ]
Everyone went looking for the smell, but saw that there were many roadside stalls set up by the river outside the city. This place is relatively remote, not only far away from the wharf, but also far away from the city to the north and east.
Door. But judging from their standardized appearance, these stalls have probably been rectified, and they also need to pay booth fees.
It was almost noon at this time, and coolies continued to come in batches, and some even came to eat with rich carts. 1
"It's not Jinling Double??Sit around the table, there are not enough benches, so they stand by the table, and the guards also eat at the same table with the second prince.
Zhao Kuangbiao scooped up a ball of duck intestines in the soup, and nodded repeatedly: "It smells bad, but it tastes good, but it's a bit spicy." Ren Dao
Not spicy can't hide the taste, the oil in the soup is all made from pork intestine oil. Jen 8
However, Wang Chongxi knew how to eat. He imitated the coolie's way of eating, poured the soup into the rice, mixed it well and took a bite, and immediately smiled: "Good stuff!" Ren 2]
Cui Wenmao didn't want to eat offal, nor did he want to touch soup. But he had to give face to the second prince, so he picked up a mouthful of rice with chopsticks, chewed it twice and almost spit it out. aged rice and corn grits
, let¡¯s not talk about it, the rice is not clean, and it is also mixed with rice bran shells.
"Not delicious?" Zhao Kuangbiao grinned and asked, with a malicious smile on his face. Jen 11
"Delicious, delicious!" Cui Wenmao swallowed it whole, and quickly took two more mouthfuls into his mouth. [ 2_]
Zhao Kuangbiao said: "What did the teacher at the naval school say? If you encounter a storm when you go out to sea, and you are stranded in a desolate place without supplies, then you have to use everything to fill your stomach. Eat
If you are not used to bad food, don't go to the navy. "Jen 2]
Cui Wenmao quickly said:
"What Your Highness said is very true.
It's a pity that he came from a wealthy family, and his cultural studies were not very good, so he was thrown into the naval school by his father. After a few years of suffering, I still have to eat this kind of pig food. 5]
The guard who bought the wine came back soon, and because the second prince asked for speed, he only bought a pot of ordinary wine.
"Come, come, let's celebrate our graduation!" Zhao Kuangbiao raised his glass and shouted.
This second prince was spoiled and spoiled in Nanjing, after several years of military academy, now he is full of recklessness. Eating and drinking, drinking bad wine, chatting and laughing at roadside stalls.
