Gao Xian thinks he is still a very enlightened emperor, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is equivalent to the beginning of a family, the family has no savings, and he does not pay attention to those false etiquette, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the envoys from all over the world come to the court, and they can't be too unpresentable, so they have to be reasonable.

Therefore, even people like Lu Zhengming who can't wait to wake up and touch the hands of beauties at twelve hours a day, and who are drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, are all up to work on errands.

To say that Emperor Gao Xian's requirements are not difficult to meet, the emperor did not let them take care of the breakfast on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and did not let them eat it at night. That is, a state banquet will be held at noon to entertain foreign envoys and 300 talented people. When the banquet is over, you can go home for a reunion and enjoy the moon.

In fact, the state banquet for lunch does not need to be done by the adults of the Ministry of Rites, but according to the level and national habits of the guests, report the menu to the imperial dining room in advance, and take care of it at that time, so as not to serve the wrong dishes and cause conflicts.

It stands to reason that such a simple thing should not be a problem at all, but the problem is that it is an abrasive little goblin, and the more you don't want it to come, the more it is coming.

The Royal Palace, the Rinde Hall.

In a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, a fanbang envoy with peculiar costumes stood up and said in the words of a skilled Liang official, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I just heard that the talented people of your country are chanting poems against each other, which is really the envy of people like me outside the border. But I don't know about something, and I want to ask you all about it. ”

This is obviously the rhythm of stirring up trouble. Emperor Gao Xian smiled slightly, and made a note in his heart to the begging tribe represented by this old man, but asked modestly and generously on his face. "What?"

Has, a beggar envoy from the northern grasslands, said, "What I want to ask you is that you Han people have a saying, saying that if you have friends from afar, how should you entertain them?" ”

Many people in the DPRK have been secretly scolded in their stomachs, this person has been in charge of dealing with the Han people since the previous dynasty, and his Chinese language skills are very deep, but now he is asking a sentence that everyone knows, this is not clear to find fault?

A talented man in white stood up and said loudly. "A friend has come from afar. Exhilaration? I think that not only the people of Daliang say this, but also do this, and the noble people should do the same, right? When Your Excellency asks this, is it because of your dissatisfaction with our hospitality? If any. Let's put it bluntly. It's so tortuous. I really lost the style of an open-minded and bold man! ”

Gao Xian bowed slightly, young man, courage is commendable. Directly transform national affairs into personal demeanor and national cultivation. Frankly atmospheric, not bad, not bad.

The great eunuch Cheng Ping stepped forward and whispered, "This is the son of tens of thousands of words, speaking for the girl who was raped in an attempted rape, Ji Yue." This time, he won the seventeenth place. ”

Gao Xian was a little more satisfied, "Speak up righteously and without losing your cleverness, let him go to the Criminal Department to learn to solve cases or learn to deal with envoys from various countries in the middle and bottom of the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Yes." Cheng Ping lowered his eyebrows and quickly took out his portable paper and wrote it down.

But Haas Chaolu is treacherous and slippery, but it is not so easy to dismiss, "Bold and generous, the twists and turns are all because of the local customs." Since Childe asked me to speak up, then I will be blunt. ”

After a fierce counterattack, he didn't give the Liang talents a chance to fight back, so he held up a plate of roast mutton specially prepared for him from in front of him, "Since everyone in your country knows the truth of Lu Dao's hospitality, why do you want to serve me this half-baked mutton?" I remember that the previous dynasty also came to this imperial city for a banquet, and at that time it was the same roast mutton, but it was extremely delicious, and it melted in the mouth. ”

He looked at Emperor Gao Xian, who was high above, and sneered defiantly, "Could it be that the Great Liang Dynasty thinks that our Qiyan clan is not enough to be your friends, so even a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet can be fooled around!" ”

As soon as he said this, the talents were dumbfounded.

How could this Fanbang guy be so cunning, not to talk to them about the big things and wrongs, but to discuss the food? But this matter is small, but if you want to seriously theorize, it is a big deal, after all, the new dynasty and the old dynasty are five years apart, and there is no way to compare them with you?

The emperor's face turned cold, his eyes swept to the side, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites suddenly sweated down. hurriedly asked someone to call Langzhong of the Dining Department, that is, Lu Zhengming, but as soon as Lord Lu heard that this was the case, he grabbed another person with his hand.

"Lord Ouyang, I told you again and again a few days ago that I want to do a good job in entertaining the envoys of Fanbang, what the hell are you doing?"

Ouyang Jin wants to scold his mother, Lao Tzu is not a cook, what are you pushing on me?

"This roast lamb is made by the imperial chef of the palace, how do I know what's wrong? Otherwise, invite Gonggong Cai from the Shangshi Bureau to ask, or you can find out. ”

Cai Xiang, the chief eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau, is Lu Zhengming's godfather, as soon as he heard that the matter would involve him, Lord Lu's face suddenly darkened by half, but Ouyang Jin's words also made sense, the envoy of Fanbang was still standing in the hall, just scolding Ouyang Jin for a fart, and he couldn't push him out to cook, so he still had to find someone who could solve the problem. Isn't that just the Imperial Dining Room?

So Master Lu had no choice but to go to his godfather in person with a sad face, of course, he didn't forget to drag Ouyang Jin, at a critical time, he always had to leave a cushion by his side.

Ouyang Jin scolded him half to death in his heart, but he couldn't resist. He was also furious in his heart, what could he do if this matter was not handled well?

And in the main hall, in the face of Haas Chaolu's questioning, another talented man stood up, "Your envoy has a very good saying, called to follow the customs of the locals." As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. We ordinary people also often say that which mountain to sing which song. Now that the new emperor has changed, there are naturally many differences from the previous dynasty. The noble envoy is used to eating the taste of the previous dynasty, which is nothing, and then find a cook to redo it for you. But if you don't know how to work, it's not that our Daliang refuses to make friends with you, but that you are begging for the previous dynasty and deliberately want to be the enemy of my Daliang. Excuse me, my lord, yes and no? ”

These words, both soft and hard, did not leak, and actually blocked the old treacherous Fanbang envoy there.

Emperor Gao Xian was secretly applauding in his heart, and when he saw that this person personally brought a glass of wine to the envoy of the state, he smiled heartily, "But I think that your envoy's arrival here today proves that the Qiyan clan will never want to fight with my Liang." It's just a little bit of food, so why should you care? Come, please drink this cup, the husband has a broad heart, if it is really for a plate of roast mutton and the two countries fight each other, then it will not make the world laugh? ”

You can say that again!

Gao Xian's eyes showed a little appreciation, this one no longer needs to be introduced by Cheng Ping, seeing that he is dressed in a big red robe, Ling Ran stands out among the talents in white, this is the first place in the examination of this dynasty - Wang Cang.

Haas was speechless, so he had to take the wine glass and drink it all, but at the end he also turned around and served a bowl full of his own big bowl, "Then please ask the son to drink this cup too!" ”

He saw that the young man was weak, and thought that he was not strong enough to drink. I didn't expect this Wang Cang to take the wine bowl, but he didn't hesitate to do it in one go, and at the end he patted him on the shoulder without changing his face and said, "Thank you!" ”

Haas sat down in a diplomatic provocation, and in an instant a diplomatic provocation became invisible.

Ouyang Zhuang sat far away because of his low ranking, but he asked himself that even if he sat in the first row, he might not be able to deal with this red-robed champion or that Ji Dacai.

It seems that the admissions this time are still some real materials, especially this champion, who is really eloquent and good-looking, but I don't know who he comes from, can he make friends?

There was a talented man whispering next to him, "This time, the first name is from the famous Langya Wang family." The foundation of hundreds of years is indeed beyond our reach. If he hadn't had a wife and children earlier, he was afraid that this time he would have been recruited by the emperor to be a concubine. ”

"You are wrong, if you really become a colt, you can't serve in the court, you can only be an idle doctor. Even if he is unmarried, he may not be willing. ”

"In this case, shouldn't you and me, who have not yet married, be careful? If you give it to any princess, your future will be ruined. ”

"Isn't it? You see, although the clothes we are waiting for are the same, what can we do, and there is no decoration on the headscarves of the relatives, and we have one more flower? It sounds good because we young people want to add color to the banquet, but you see behind the curtain, isn't it the jewelry worn by the women who are faintly refracted? ”

Ouyang Zhuang's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the flower next to the turban, but before he touched it, he put it down dejectedly. If you are really unlucky to give people a look, do you dare not marry? He was now glad that he was in a mediocre ranking, sitting at the back, and not so ostentatious.

Just suddenly thought of the eldest brother, although Ouyang Zhuang felt a little sorry for him, but he was also glad that he fortunately didn't come, if he came, it would definitely be the physique of the princess, and there would be a fight for him. At that time, the whole family must not be offered as if they were offering to their ancestors?

He laughed here, but he didn't know that his father was already bubbling in a hurry.

"How is it my responsibility to do this? I copied it one by one according to the recipe. What's wrong with the beggar messenger wanting to eat mutton? ”

"How is it not your fault?" Lu Zhengming and his godfather Cai Gonggong teamed up to bully people, "Since you are responsible for copying dishes, why don't you ask about other people's tastes?" It's been a day or two since he came to the capital, if you put your mind to it, how could you make such a joke? ”

Ouyang Jin was simply speechless, wanting to cry without tears.

In the face of interests, everyone gave full play to their greatest wisdom to seek self-protection.

Cai Xiang of the Shangshi Bureau insisted that the chef did it well, but the problem was that the Ministry of Etiquette did not explain it clearly, and the guests liked it a little worse.

And Lu Zhengming also helped push the responsibility onto Ouyang Jin. He may be a little worse at other things, but his perception is first-class. If it is said that there is a problem in the emperor's imperial dining room, it is equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face, and no matter how enlightened Emperor Gao Xian is, he can't afford to lose this face. Therefore, it can only be that Ouyang Jin, who runs errands, is unfavorable, and makes trouble.
