Shangshan notes - "Mu Guiying" TV series fan

My wife is a fan of Yelu Haonan in the TV series "Mu Guiying", and I sent the things I wrote to make up the number of words.

——

This notebook was circulated from the New Taipei Han Palace, and the original book recorded many imperial dishes and practices in the court at that time, as well as some private diaries. According to the tone in the notes, the original author may have been the head of the palace at that time or a certain steward. Because most of the records are court trivialities, and the text is straightforward and vulgar, it is not favored by the literati of all dynasties. In later generations, a person who had a heart compiled it into a book, printed and published it, and few people cared about it, so that it was almost lost.

The New Northern Han Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that lasted only 14 years, founded in 1006 AD and destroyed in 1020, with only one reigning emperor, Emperor Wu Yuan. Emperor Wu of Yuan had no heirs, and the emperor's designated successor was not the emperor's own son. After the death of Emperor Wu of Yuan, the hearts of the people inside and outside the court fluctuated, and the heroes rose together, and the country was scattered, and the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State took advantage of the weakness to enter and embezzle and divide it.

The territory of the New Northern Han Dynasty was roughly in the area of today's HNHB, and its political system, economy, clothing, food, culture and customs, most of which were only mixed with the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State at that time. Due to its small contribution to history and low archaeological value, many people do not even know about its existence.

The landlord had the pleasure of flipping through the contemporary photocopies, and here are some of the fragments selected for everyone to talk about.

Tianbo Mansion Yang Family, Entering the Palace, Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, Imperial Chef, Worship, East and West Second Palace, Burning Eyes, Pearl is Very Bright, Worship to the Heavens, Virgin Niangniang, Holy Decree, Shuzhong Tang Gate, Longevity Noodles, Three Dishes and Three Wishes, Out of the Palace, Flying Pigeons, Seriously Ill, Death, Coffin and White Light

July 20 of the first year of Yuanwu

The emperor has been on the throne for many days, and the palace is very busy, and the palace maids and internal supervisors in various palace rooms have been arranged.

Although it is not bigger than the Liao Song Dynasty Palace, it can also have high walls and yellow tiles, magnificent, and quite majestic.

I am now in charge of this Shang Shan Prison, although I am not as comfortable as those in front of me who can see Long Yan every day, and I don't have to carry my head to serve from time to time.

At the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, there were many things to do, and he often didn't know how to eat and sleep, and only a few chopsticks were used for the meals he sent. For this reason, the head of the imperial king has reprimanded him several times, always saying that the Shangshan supervisor is not dedicated enough. It's just that we haven't been waiting for the emperor for a long time, where can we find out the emperor's taste preferences, only racking our brains and looking for delicacies all over the world. The day before yesterday, I said that there would be new people in the palace who would be divided, and I don't know if I can get started, so I'll pick it up myself. It's just that those who have top-notch looks and manners must go to serve in front of the palace. Actually, I don't have to worry about that, I still need those who are diligent and steady.

July 21 of the first year of Yuanwu

I heard that the generals of the previous dynasty captured the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion, which was a great achievement, but the emperor was unhappy, and even the lunch sent was returned intact, which caused me to suffer a lot of losses.

Now my fellow villager Xiao He has actually come out and has been accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Wang. He was received by me before, but I will depend on him in the future. Xiao He has been promoted to the front of the palace, and it is better to inquire about anything, than to just guess if there is anything.

Ming'er is going to see those new palace people, I can let others pick first. It's just that those who have the heart don't want to go to the palace and show their faces in front of the emperor, maybe they will soar one day.

The weather is getting cooler, winter is here in a blink of an eye, and there are the most banquets in winter.

July 22 of the first year of Yuanwu

Listening to what Xiao He said, the emperor said that there was one less person in the Yang family, but he didn't say who it was. Manager Wang counted it with his fingers in front of Xiao He, but he didn't come up with it. It seems that the generals of the previous dynasty will be busy for a while, and they will finally have to be collected, will the emperor be happy, and we can suffer less crimes.

Among the new palace people, I picked two, a eunuch and a palace maid. The palace maid is a little older, her appearance is fair but not very outstanding, she can't stay for a few years before she leaves the palace, and she bows her head, no one wants to choose. I saw that he was calm, and he was not squeamish in his hand, and he answered properly after asking a few words, and asked him if he would like to come to Shangshan, and he answered.

Actually, I don't look down on those people who are staring at the royal front, is it so easy to be the errand of the imperial front, I don't know when I will make a mistake and lose my head, it is better to stay away. But it's no wonder that it is said that our emperor's appearance and bearing are first-class, and no emperor of any country can compare with him. How can there be anyone in the daughter's family who doesn't love the young man, and they all enter the palace and never think about it, except for the emperor, who else can you count on.

It rained on the tenth day of August in the first year of Yuanwu

Seeing that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the past two days have been busy. The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet is the most important, the emperor wants to invite civil and military officials, this is the first big banquet in this dynasty. The menu has been revised and changed a few times, but the emperor still doesn't seem to be too satisfied, and Mr. Wang said that those dishes are clichés and not eye-catching. But it takes a lot of effort to research new dishes, and now that the days are tight, where can I find it?

I didn't think that the new palace maid Xiaofeng is a familiar hand, everything in the kitchen, and the work is safe and there are not many words, it is a reassuring person, it seems that my vision is good. Not to mention anything else at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, the Imperial Diet had to ask me to do it myself, so let him be a helper.

The person who slipped through the net of the Yang family has not been found, and the emperor is very anxious, and he said that he must find it. I heard that she was just a girl, but I don't know why the emperor is so concerned.

August 15 of the first year of Yuanwu

It was still raining two days ago, but I didn't think the moon was bright today. The banquet ahead is very lively, but let's stay here, there is no excitement to see, and I will listen to Xiao He talk about it tomorrow.

I'm really ashamed, how can I be so unlucky, but I have diarrhea at this juncture, and I blame me for eating a piece of watermelon. But that mandarin duck five treasures stew is the finale, only I can make it, and it will definitely be bad for others. I never thought that Xiaofeng was actually a town, so I thought of another dish temporarily, and presented it to the dragon's heart, and appointed him for the queen's use, and the luck was really good. Everyone congratulated him, but he didn't seem very happy, just smiled.

Tonight everyone was very tired, so I asked them to go to rest early. Just now, I felt that my stomach was still a little unhappy, and I went to the thatched house again, but I saw Xiaofeng sitting alone in the courtyard looking at the moon, and it seemed that he was still reading something in his mouth, but I didn't understand. Probably homesick, leave him alone.

August 16 of the first year of Yuanwu

Everyone was tired yesterday, and today I was a little slack, so I said a few words.

Xiao He told us a lot about the banquet, and looking at his expression, he probably added a lot of oil and vinegar, but he praised the dish made by Xiao Feng. Said that the dish did not look very delicate at first glance, the emperor paused for a long time after tasting it, and thought that the emperor would be unhappy, who knew that the emperor sighed and read something "I don't know how many people return to the moon, and the falling moon shakes the river tree." When the ministers heard this, they were busy praising it. The emperor was pleased, so he sealed the person who cooked the dishes as the king.

I said that Xiaofeng is so blessed, he has only come to get ahead not long ago, and how many people have survived all their lives without a bright day. Xiaofeng was faint, and said some big rebellious words, which was terrible. What does it mean that if he can't be a good emperor, he will never let him go, and if he is heard, he will be killed. Amitabha.

The first day of November in the first year of Yuanwu was cloudy

The Yang family hasn't found it yet, and those generals can't even find a little girl, are they eating dry rice? The emperor was depressed and unhappy, and told us how to settle down. But recently, I stopped reprimanding, as if I had given up on accepting my fate.

The emperor is empty, he is really alone, and the ministers are in a hurry, and they are sparse. The emperor has always pushed back and blocked, but this time he changed his temper and sealed the daughters of the two grandfathers of the country into the palace, one lived in the East Palace and the other lived in the West Palace. I heard that the two mothers are rare beauties, one is quiet and the other is lively, and this palace will be lively in the future. There is only one less queen who is not, but the emperor didn't say anything, it seems that which one will give birth to the dragon son first in the future, which one will be the queen.

It started to snow a few days ago, but not much, this clean snow water is clear and sweet, and it is excellent to store it, and then it is excellent to make tea. I wanted Xiaofeng to get some, but when he was unwell, he sent someone else, but it was not very convenient to call.

The first day of the first month of the second year of Yuanwu was sunny

The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming, and they look like red clouds from a distance, which is very beautiful. Xiaofeng has been unhappy since he recovered from his illness, so let him go to the East Palace to deliver some snacks today, and take a stroll in the garden by the way to relax. But he went for a long time, and when he came back, his eyes were red, and when he asked, he only shook his head and said that he had been watching the snow for a long time and stabbed his eyes.

Although the two palaces were sealed, the emperor still rarely came, and even if he came, he would sit and leave. According to this situation, when will a prince be born? I know a lot of people are secretly betting on the treasure to see which side wins. Previously, the emperor went to the West Palace a lot, because the West Palace Niangniang was good at martial arts, but she was clingy, and the emperor was annoyed not long after.

Recently, there have been more people in the East Palace, and the East Palace Niangniang plays a good piano, and the emperor often listens to it silently.

Xiao He said that the emperor also went to see Hongmei today, and he followed alone, and there seemed to be a figure flashing by, looking like Xiaofeng, I don't know if it is.

It rained lightly on the fifth day of April in the second year of Yuanwu

Today, I really encountered great luck, and the emperor actually came to Shangshan Prison. Although we have to kneel down and bow our heads to take the car, we can't look at Long Yan, but it is also a great favor. The white dragon robe is a silver thread, so eye-catching.

The emperor praised it, which really made us look good, and then walked around and left.

I wanted Xiao Feng to show his face well, but he was stage frightened, he only followed behind everyone, didn't raise his head, didn't say a word, wasted my cultivation, and now it's useless to shed tears in that corner.

The seventh fog of the first month of the third year of Yuanwu

Today is the day of Shangxin, and the Son of Heaven prays to the heavens. The ministers mentioned the matter of the heir again, and the emperor was so troubled that no one wanted to see him, and lunch was returned. Since Xiaofeng is in charge of the imperial meal, the emperor has always been quite face-saving, which is rare, and it seems that he has made a big fire. Later, Xiaofeng made lotus seed soup, cleared his heart and lowered the fire, and barely entered a bowl.

No wonder the courtiers are in a hurry, the heir is a major event of the country, and the two mothers have been in the palace for more than a year, but there is still no news. The two grandfathers are secretly planning for their respective daughters, regardless of the right prescriptions, I don't know how much good medicine they have taken. The back seat is still empty, and the prince and queen are all within easy reach of the belly in the future. It depends on which side is more blessed.

There was a thunderstorm on the sixth day of June in the third year of Yuanwu

The rumors in this palace are the fastest, and the people in the palace have nothing else to do except work, so they can only chat about the palace paths when they are idle.

The day before yesterday, the mother of the West Palace Niangniang entered the palace, and heard that the mother cried to her mother, saying that the emperor did not want to touch him, he is still a virgin, and he has been a widow for many years in the palace. Now this matter is spread everywhere, and there are all kinds of things.

Listening to Xiao He, it has not been a day or two since Xigong Niangniang saw that the emperor was guilty, and as for why, he couldn't tell why, it was probably related to the Yang family. Although he didn't mention it in the past two years, the emperor was still sending people to find the girl, and Xigong Niangniang said a few words, which angered the emperor and ignored him from then on.

I thought that the emperor would be in a bad mood in the past two days, but the lotus leaf soup made by Xiaofeng was very fragrant.

The seventh day of the seventh month of the third year of Yuanwu

Today is the day of Qixi begging, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will be Tianhe, I heard that the two palace mothers have been preparing for a long time, and they have tried their best to surprise the emperor, but I never thought that the emperor gave everyone a big surprise.

The emperor issued a holy decree and announced to the world, saying that no matter which woman, as long as she holds the long-lost jade pendant, she is the queen, and a portrait is attached.

Since ancient times, there has never been such a strange holy decree, how can there be such a queen to choose. If any beggar picks it up, no matter what his appearance is, he will be welcomed into the middle palace. However, in this way, the two palace mothers and the grandfather of the country have a lot of things, whether they can give birth to a prince depends on the will of heaven, whether they can find the jade pendant depends on man-made, and it is easier to take multiple roads.

I told Xiaofeng about this, and he thought about it and couldn't help laughing.

It was cloudy at the beginning of May in the seventh year of Yuanwu

and Xiaofeng went out of the palace to purchase, and the emperor has been very tired recently. After leaving the palace, all I heard was how good our emperor was, and I was very proud. But Xiaofeng said that being an emperor should do things for the people, and he didn't care.

When I came back, I met Xiao He and told me a strange thing. It is said that there is a rare thing in the Tang Gate in Shuzhong, which is called "there is ** and eventually becomes a dependent". "Yes" is **, if you eat it, you will lose your breath, and "eventually become a dependent" is the antidote, and you can come back to life after eating.

I don't believe it, but it's a really elegant name, and it doesn't look like he could make it up. I asked him how he knew, and he said that there was nothing in the front of the emperor that didn't know. I'm so angry, and now he's holding up in front of me.

The first day of the first month of the ninth year of Yuanwu was sunny

Today's dinner, Xiaofeng didn't know what the devil was, so he made three fish dishes in a row, but the name was good, one was called "Xianghe", one was called "Ankang", and the other was called "more than every year". Sure enough, he won the most sacred heart, and the emperor was very happy and pardoned many people.

But then Xiaofeng told me that he was going out of the palace, which surprised me a lot. No number of people can look forward to such a good errand, so why don't he say he doesn't want it. Over the years, the emperor has been used to eating the dishes he cooks, and I'm afraid it won't work if he changes people, so I have to persuade him.

February 15 of the ninth year of Yuanwu

Today is Xiaofeng's birthday, and I personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for him. Xiaofeng is not young, and according to the rules, he should have left the palace to get married. But as a royal servant, he is valued by the emperor, and he really can't let people go, and Xiaofeng is willing to stay. Now that he himself has proposed to leave the palace, I have been persuading him for a long time and cannot disobey his wishes.

It's strange to say, our emperor also has the habit of eating longevity noodles every year. In previous years, it was all done by Xiaofeng, but now that he is leaving, he will do it again. Probably out of taste, the emperor got angry and threw the bowl. I begged Xiaofeng to make another bowl, but he really didn't want to, saying that he always had to go, what if there was one more bowl or one less bowl, it would be fine after a while. What a stubborn girl.

Heavy rain on February 16 of the ninth year of Yuanwu

It is rare to have such a heavy rain in early spring, today is the day when Xiaofeng leaves the palace, I should have sent a send, but the emperor's thunderous anger has not diminished, and all the meals sent have been thrown out.

It's not that I didn't persuade at the beginning, but I can't help Xiaofeng if he insists on leaving, so it's hard for me to chase people back now. Yesterday, he refused to make a bowl of noodles, even if he chased it back, what would he do.

Now I just hope that the emperor will slowly forget about jì and be willing to accept new flavors. It's just that these days, everyone is going to have a hard time.

August 15 of the thirteenth year of Yuanwu

The sky was covered by dark clouds, the moon was out of sight, and the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was no longer interested. Halfway through the banquet, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and it seemed that it was not light, and the imperial doctors went to take care of it, and the two ladies cried like tears.

Xiao He's feet didn't touch the ground, he came and went in a hurry, I stopped him and asked what happened. He said that the emperor's illness was strange, and he was fine, but a pigeon flew from nowhere and landed in front of the emperor impartially. The pigeon had a jade pendant around its neck, which vaguely looked like a jade pendant for the country as mentioned in the holy decree. There was a strip tied to the pigeon's feet, and two sentences were written on it, and he glanced at it, what is my time short, and you cherish yourself. After reading it, the emperor vomited blood and fainted.

Since the emperor is sick, then we have to take care of it and make some light and appetizing side dishes.

The first day of November in the thirteenth year of Yuanwu

The emperor's ** sickbed, over and over again, never improved, and the ministers went crazy. The emperor has no heirs, in case the emperor has a good one, who should inherit the throne.

Xiao He said that the emperor was tired, and it seemed that he didn't want to get better, and there was no sound when the price of medicine went down. The emperor doesn't like to see people, and when he is fine, he always likes to hold the jade pendant and be stunned, and he doesn't speak.

It is rumored that the emperor issued a decree that whoever has a jade pendant is the queen, and now it is a pigeon, is it difficult to set up a pigeon to be the queen.

February 12 yin of the 14th year of Yuanwu

The emperor collapsed, and the whole country was in charge, but I had a trace of doubt in my heart. Yesterday's dinner emperor was good, not like a dying man, how can he be so fast, maybe it is the legendary return to the light.

The emperor stopped for three days, and the ministers kept arguing, and I didn't understand what they were arguing about. Xiao He's face was not good, and he didn't say anything when he asked, just shook his head, this little rabbit cub.

February 16 of the 14th year of Yuanwu

Today is the day of the emperor's resurrection, but something strange happened last night.

Last night, Xiao He kept vigil, there was no one in the middle of the night, and when he was drowsy, he saw a white light falling from the sky, and a woman faintly appeared in the white light. Xiao He was scared half to death and couldn't move. Hearing the sound in the coffin, he fled regardless of the coffin, but tripped over the threshold. Looking back, the figures became two, opposite each other, embracing each other, and then disappeared with the white light, and there was no trace to be found.

Xiao He was not lightly frightened, and he talked to people everywhere, but no one believed him, and they all said that he was dreaming. But I think that everything in this world is clear, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so doesn't Yang Guifei also return to the Palace of Eternal Life.
