Li Yuanshuang held the chicken leg and looked at the old man with blank eyes...... The beef on the plate is going to drool. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man put a piece of beef into his mouth with two fingers, chewed it, drank a sip of wine, smacked his lips, glanced at him, and then said, "What kind of good thing are you to your chicken leg!" Can it also be compared to my braised beef slices? Do you know how my beef came from? ”

Li Yuanshuang shook his head, simply picked up the chicken leg and nibbled on it.

"My beef, I chose a small piece of the juicy and tender beef beef tendon outside the Guanwai, selected the top secret recipe of the old Wang family, and marinated it for three days with a simmer, and it is not over! During the past three days, there was no shortage of people around me at all times, and the marinade was added to it every hour, along with some other ingredients.

"When the beef is finally marinated, I take out the slices and cut them as thin as cicada wings, and then I get such a plate. Can your chicken leg compare to this? ”

Li Yuanshuang shook his head, "It can't be compared, it can't be compared, it definitely can't be compared!" ”

After that, he asked with a shy face: "Then can you always give me a piece to taste?" I really want to eat it! For the sake of both of us being foodies, do you pity me? ”

The old man snorted casually, "Okay, for the sake of your kid who is quite pleasing to the eye, I will reluctantly reward you with a piece of it, let you taste it." lest I spoil you little boy to death, and then I will be guilty of too much. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Yuanshuang smiled, and hurriedly thanked him.

The eight people outside were speechless, this is Tao Gong, the gatekeeper of the last pass? That's a bit disorienting, isn't it?

What about the good demeanor? What about the Baume & Mercier style? What about the heroic momentum that is good?

Why didn't I see any of them, but I saw an old foodie.

The ninth level - Bo Qing smiled. This "Qing" refers to Tao Gong.

Jiang Rong remembered the information about Tao Gong that he had investigated before, and there was a passage above that described him like this:

“…… He claims to be a young gentleman and loves prosperity. Good house, good beauty, good child; Good fresh clothes, good horses, good food; Good lanterns, good fireworks, good pear orchards; Good preaching, good antiques, good flowers and birds. Bo Qia Duotong, a subset of economic history, all should be known, astronomy and geography, not dabbling. The plaything is also a cynical celebrity! ”

Tao Gong was originally a son of an official family, and his family was quite powerful, so he can be said to have grown up in the splendid rich and noble pile, and he has developed a gentleman since he was a child.

Later, his family fell into the middle of the road, and he tasted the warmth and coldness of people, he suddenly disappeared, and reappeared, he was already a generation of martial arts masters, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knew it.

Later, this one somehow hooked up with the one on the dragon chair, and had a good friendship, and the emperor sometimes even asked him about the political affairs of the court.

The three dukes in the "Three Princes, Five Marquis, Seven Gui, Nine Families and Ten Factions" known to the world, the last one is the Tao Gong in front of him. From this, it can be seen that its status is transcendent.

With a white body, he is as famous as the world-famous and powerful Zhenguo Gong and the Huguo Gong, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

There are even rumors that the emperor once wanted to invite him out of the mountains to come to the court to be the prime minister for him, but he did not respond, and still lived in seclusion in the mountains and lived his life of free seclusion.

However, the emperor not only did not blame him, but still often gave him Hongyan books and annoyed him with government affairs.

That's why the world jokingly calls him "the prime minister of the mountains".

The official system of the Great Qi Dynasty was the system of three princes and nine secretaries, and the three princes were the Great Sima, the Great Sikong and the Prime Minister, the Great Sima was the main sky, the Great Sikong was the main land, and the prime minister was the master.

Therefore, the "three dukes" sometimes refer to these three people, but generally refer to the prince of Zhenguo, the prince of Huguo and the prince of Tao.

Above the three dukes, there are Taifu, Taishi and Taibao, with high titles and no real power.

As I said before, "One word moves Kyoto, and the position is the highest Jiuqing." Zheng Jingrui Zheng, the famous flower poetry saint, the "Pastoral Marquis", was once crowned as the Taifu.

Jiuqing is divided into upper Jiuqing and lower Jiuqing, and the upper Jiuqing are Taichang Siqing, Guanglu Siqing, Taifu, Tingwei, Dahonglu, Zongzheng, Dasi Nong, Yushi Dafu and Taiwei.

Among them, the Imperial Historian is in charge of the decrees of the criminal constitution and regulations of the state, and is the deputy of the prime minister.

The Taiwei was in charge of the military, and there were Cao in charge of all affairs, such as Xicao, Dongcao, Hucao, Socao, Cicao, Thief Cao, Jin Cao, and Cangcao.

In his previous life, Xiao Jue became one of the Tai Lieutenants of the Nine Qings, which can be described as a high authority.

Imperial Doctor and Taiwei can be said to be the two major positions in Jiuqing that represent one literature and one martial arts, and those who have the trust of the emperor and outstanding ability are not allowed to hold them.

The lower Jiuqing are Daxing, Shaofu, Weiwei, Zhijinwu, Right Neishi, Left Xiange, Lord Duwei, Prince Taifu, and Prince Shaofu.

The lower Jiuqing is much weaker than the upper Jiuqing, but they are also powerful and prominent.

As for Jiuqing, there are many other official positions, so I won't go into detail here.

Tao Gong was nicknamed "the prime minister of the mountain", although it is a joking name, but it can also be seen that his image and height in the hearts of the world. On the other hand, it is inseparable from the value and praise of those in power.

From this, it can be seen that Tao Gong's ability is outstanding and his reputation is at its peak.

Such a legendary old man, at this moment, is bare-chested, barefoot, barefoot, and "rude" eating directly with his hands, which really makes people's jaws drop.

However, what should Tao Gong look like? Those so-called glorious images were originally imposed on him by the world.

At the end of the day, he's just an old man.

He himself called himself a gentleman - a plaything, a cynical man! This is really a big husband! A role model for our generation!

Tao Gong recruited a few people in and said: "This ninth level, if you want to make me laugh, it is difficult to say, it is not difficult, it is also very simple."

"Recently, I often sigh to myself, the hatred of my life is that I have not tasted a defeat, and I regret it. When I was young, although I was a gentleman, I thought that I was one of the ways of 'eating, drinking, and having fun', and no one could stand out from me. After I learned from my teacher, no one was able to defeat me. ”

The tone is melancholy and regretful, which makes people have the illusion of seeing Dugu seeking defeat.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, you are too narcissistic, aren't you?

"I often can't be happy for this, so if anyone of you can make me bow down to this level, then I'll be happy, and I'll let him pass."

After speaking, he looked at the few people who were looking at each other, "How is it?" Simple, right? As long as you can convince me in any way, and have to admit defeat, then you can get the formation card to Baoxia Valley from me. I will not break my word. ”

Tao Gong glanced around a few people, "Who came first?" ”

Xiao Yu opened the fan hanging from his waist and fanned it gently, making his long hair move slightly, like an immortal.

He stepped forward and said, "Then I'll start with a brick throw." ”

"Dare to ask Tao Gong, what is the 'way of being a king'?"

Tao Gong raised his eyebrows slightly, the light in his eyes flashed, and he deliberately misinterpreted: "The 'king' of the gentleman, or the 'king' of the king?" ”

"How is a gentleman? What about kings? Xiao Yu followed his words and asked, not deliberately provocative.

"Gentleman, you can see me, isn't my Tao Gong a model of a gentleman? As long as you follow me, take a look, and learn, you will know what a gentleman is. ”

I don't know what a blush is. However, no one dared to stand up and refute it, saying that this disheveled and unruly old man was not a gentleman.

"As for 'the way of kingship-"

"Do you ask for your son, for your brother, or for yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, the other five people except Xiao Jue, Jiang Rong and Jing Yan were all surprised, feeling that this disciple of the Huanxi Sect actually had another identity?

It's just that there are a total of nine adult princes today, but I don't know how many of them are ranked?

Xiao Yu put away the fan in his hand, held it in the palm of his hand, took a step forward, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "How about asking for my son?" How about asking for my brother? Ask for myself, how about it? ”

Tao Gongdao: "If it is your Laozi, then it is not necessary, he is still very competent as an emperor." Open-minded, far-sighted, judging the situation, courteous, virtuous, and good at admonishment, he has done all these things. ”

Hearing this, the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching, feeling that you are here full-time to pat the old man on the back. Can you do it a little bit of festivity?

Tao Gong didn't seem to see everyone's expressions at all, and continued: "If you are your brother, since you haven't sat in that position yet, don't worry about things that are not within your scope of responsibility, but just add to your troubles. If it's for yourself—"

He suddenly leaned back in the chair, squinted as if thinking, and threw the peanuts in his hand into his mouth one after another, and it took a long time to open his eyes, but he said something that made people vomit blood.

"I haven't sat in that position, how do I know? If you ask me, you might as well ask you. I can't answer your question, so I'll barely count you through. ”

In the face of this result, everyone was unexpected and felt reasonable, isn't there a sentence? If he is not in his position, he is not in his position, although Tao Gong has a transcendent status, but as he said, he has never sat in that position, how can he know?

Even if it is said, it is nothing more than some "merit is not rewarded, crime is not punished; Listen to the rumors, but don't listen to the rumors" and "the heavens above, the earth below, the spirit and the universe, the combination of rigidity and softness, crossing sentient beings, and leveling the world", but are these useful?

These words, who doesn't know these words? They are also familiar with the so-called "way of being a king". But only when you really sit in the position will you really understand.

So Tao Gong bluntly said "I don't know" and let Xiao Yu pass.

Immediately, he shot something out of his hand and went straight to Xiao Yu. He took it and saw that it was a palm-sized array card, with black textures distributed on it, faintly shining through.

When the others saw it, their eyes lit up, this is the certificate to enter Baoxia Valley. Once you have it, you can go to the valley to find the treasure.

Suddenly, everyone moved in their hearts, thinking about whether they could imitate Xiao Yu and ask a question that Tao Gong couldn't answer?

After all, he's not a god-man, is he? It's impossible to know everything about every aspect of all walks of life.

Confucius also admitted that his "crop" was not as good as the old peasant, and the "garden" was not as good as the old garden. (To be continued.) )
