Chapter Ninety-One: Offering Food
Once the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace was a place where Jia Yi used to go in and out, when he was high-spirited, he was often summoned by the emperor, he took all this for granted, walking in the corridor of the palace, often thinking about what he wanted to say to meet the emperor, he felt that his talent could eventually shine in the court. At that time, he could speak freely, put forward any ideas, and offered a lot www.biquge.info of good writing, which was circulated and widely copied. The reputation is very wide in Chang'an City. However, his opinion was not supported by the courtiers, and even the nobles opposed him.
They ridiculed him for being too young and idealistic, and judged that the implementation of his policies would be greatly hindered.
They did not discuss it privately, but told the emperor what they thought. After all, the emperor listened to the words of the courtiers and the nobles, expelled him from Chang'an, and took care of the political center.
almost extinguished his young and full of blood.
When he was the Taifu in Changsha, he was in pain, and he wanted to see Tianyan all the time. He wanted to prove that his idea was mature and viable, not an attic in the sky.
Three years later, he has matured a lot. At the very least, there is more precaution against people.
Compared with later generations, it is relatively simple to see the emperor now. After receiving the news of the emperor's summons, Jia Yi could no longer sit still.
Jia Yi took two clay pots, large and small, through heavy inspections and met the emperor.
The place where the emperor saw Jia Yi was in the Xuanshu Hall in front of Weiyang Palace.
Standing in front of the Xuanshu Palace, Jia Yi almost buried his head and cried, but he couldn't hold back his excitement.
Now Jia Yi has a feeling that things are wrong, and the guards in front of the palace are no longer the people they were three years ago. A new batch of young faces. It should be a kid from the powerful family, who came to serve as a watchman. Flappy youth, flappy faces.
Where did the previous group go?
At that time, Jia Yi didn't bother to look at these palace guards at all.
But as he passed by this time, he nodded his head at them and greeted them. Their expressions did not change, but their eyes betrayed them. It seems that they are quite moved by Jia Yi not treating them as a background.
Compared with the palace groups of later generations, the Weiyang Palace at this time was more thoroughly greened. In front of the Shomuro Hall, from the moment it was established, many tree seedlings were planted. Over the decades, these trees have long since grown.
Three years have passed, and Jia Yifa feels that they are much bigger again.
In front of the Xuanshu Palace, Jia Yi waited there, but after not waiting too long, a eunuch walked out and announced that he was in.
The eunuch was polite and polite. I heard that the expression of the eunuch is the umbrella of the emperor's mood. It seems that the emperor should be in a good mood now.
During this period, there were not so many rules for Emperor Jinjian, at least he didn't have to bow to the emperor three times and nine times. In principle, it is enough to deal with the emperor.
But when Jia Yi walked into the Xuanshu Hall and saw the long-lost figure, he bowed to the emperor in a state of emotion. For him, he hadn't seen the emperor for too long. And the fact that he couldn't see the emperor hit him hard.
He once regarded the emperor as a brother and a friend. It wasn't until he was driven to Changsha that he truly realized that the emperor was the emperor. And he was the emperor's courtier.
At this moment, when he saw the emperor, he forgot all this, and was full of admiration.
The days of leaving the emperor were too long, and he was depressed. His mood was gloomy about the emperor's inability to implement his political views. However, he knew that he was not qualified to blame the emperor, thunder, rain and dew, all of them were Jun'en.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Jia Qing is doing well. Emperor Liu Heng asked happily when he saw Jia Yi. He has actually always liked Jia Yi.
Jia Yi didn't answer, just stood up and couldn't help but burst into tears: "The minister is still healthy, but he just misses his father, and now that he has to see the sky, he can't help but ......."
Emperor Liu Heng found that this topic was not good, and immediately shifted the topic to something that both of them were interested in. After a while, Jia Yi finally controlled his emotions. People in their twenties and thirties are a little embarrassed to cry their noses.
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two of them are a little rusty at the beginning, but after a while, they find a familiar feeling, at this time the two look at each other and smile, and continue to talk. In the end, even the knee talks.
This time, the emperor had just finished the sacrifice, and the topic revolved around ghosts and gods. As an emperor, he more or less believes in the existence of ghosts and gods, and there is no shortage of alchemists around him to help them refine elixirs that can live a long life.
Just after eating these pills, Emperor Liu Heng's face did not become healthier, but with a sickly ruddyness.
Jia Yi has always been very good at studying the five elements, and answered the emperor's things about ghosts and gods with the saying that the five elements have always been. The two talked for a long time. Later, the emperor was a little hungry.
I want to ask the Imperial Dining Room to deliver a scathing. Although Liu Heng is more simple, the imperial dining room still fires all day long. After all, there are so many mouths in the palace.
Jia Yi remembered the gifts he brought to the emperor and said, "I have recently received very fresh and delicious vegetables and fruits at home, and I am afraid that I will not see them in the palace." Specially brought for His Majesty to taste and see. ”
Emperor Liu Heng was a little hesitant on his face, eating the food sent by his courtiers was originally taboo.
"Vegetables are vegetables, fruits are fruits, do you mix and match vegetables and fruits?" the emperor asked.
Jia Yi smiled and didn't explain, opened the two pottery plates in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you'll know after you eat it." It's not a good thing, and Wechen won't dare to bring it over. ”
Jia Yi handed the clay pot to the eunuch.
If you want to give the emperor something to eat, of course, you can't let the emperor eat it immediately, even if Jia Yi is the emperor's favorite minister, the things sent by the courtiers must be checked by the eunuchs. Especially the salad dressing, the eunuch had never seen it before, and he felt very inexplicable about the pale yellow thing.
Finally, after the eunuch tasted it, he sent it to the emperor.
The pot of fruits and vegetables and salad dressing, put separately, was not very good. In particular, the vegetables in fruits and vegetables are obviously raw and have not been cooked.
But after Jia Yi's explanation, the eunuch had already poured the salad dressing on it. Not to mention, at this time, fruits and vegetables are paired with salad dressing, which has a kind of mixed beauty. It actually aroused the emperor's appetite. Coupled with the emperor's disgrace to Jia Yi's face, he reluctantly put the vegetable salad in front of him that was re-loaded in a silver basin, and according to Jia Yi's suggestion, forked it up with a fork and put it in his mouth.
"Can fresh vegetables and fruits be eaten when cut together?" Emperor Liu Heng wondered.
The emperor was accustomed to eating vegetables cooked, and at first, he was very hesitant to eat, but the emperor was not a person who did not dare to try new things.
