Chapter 089: Sitting at the same table with the emperor
"The minister is pragmatic and has seen the emperor."
Today is not a ceremony or a court meeting, Gao Pragmatic just stepped forward and bowed.
Zhu Yijun smiled happily, stepped forward to help him, and said, "You are a birthday star today, don't be polite." ”
Under normal circumstances, this kind of "support" should be a false support, but Zhu Yijun's support was really forced, almost lifting Gao Pragmatic with his arms and body, Gao Pragmatic didn't dare to really let him exert himself, so he had to stand up.
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Yijun said with a smile again: "I heard that your white jade building is beautifully cultivated and has an exotic style, I have long wanted to see it, but it just so happened today...... Be pragmatic, don't bother me as a villain, right? ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "The emperor is laughing, the emperor is here in person, and the humble house is shining, this is a good thing that you can't look forward to, how can you be a villain?" ”
At this time, the rest of the officials and nobles had already left the table one after another, and walked to both sides of the middle aisle to salute one after another, saying "the minister sees the emperor", especially some lower-ranking officials, they were even more excited, after all, they usually don't have many opportunities to see the emperor at close range.
Zhu Yijun glanced at it and waved his hand casually: "The ministers are exempt." ”
When the emperor came in person, the banquet was about to change, because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty basically rarely sat at the same table with his courtiers, so Gao Pragmatic asked the emperor to come forward, and at the same time gave Gao Mo and Cao Gan a look, and asked them to quickly arrange a separate table.
Of course, the subordinates of the Gao Mansion are extremely efficient in this regard, Gao Pragmatic and Zhu Yijun stepped forward slowly, laughing and chatting a few words as they walked, and the table was quickly set up at the very back of this Western-style banquet hall.
Zhu Yijun walked in front of him and looked at it, shook his head and said, "Why is there only one chair, and then another." He turned to Gao pragmatic and said, "I came today to touch your joy, you can't run away and leave me here alone." ”
Gao Pragmatic was about to take out the ancestral excuse, but Zhu Yijun suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you." ”
At this moment, Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his mouth, responded loudly with a smile, and then asked in a low voice: "The minister will come in in two days, the emperor has urgent matters?" ”
Since the reward has not yet come down, and the high-level pragmatic Qin mission has been handed over, he has now returned to his own post, and one of his duties is to be a lecturer on the day of the feast.
According to the current "schedule", he has "four classes" to teach to the emperor in a month, and this is what "advanced lectures" refer to.
Although the official of the banquet is the so-called close minister of the Son of Heaven, this "near" is not as good as the post of "observing the government" of Gao Pragmatic back then, and he is not with the emperor every day, and he can only see him on the day of the lecture.
In other words, if the emperor has anything to say to Gao Pragmatic in person, he has to wait for Gao Pragmatic to speak before he has a chance, otherwise he can only contact Gao Pragmatic through the eunuchs around him.
At this time, the people of the Gao Mansion had already set up another chair according to Zhu Yijun's instructions, and Zhu Yijun simply said "um", then stepped forward and sat down by himself, and then greeted Gao Shishi with a smile and gesticulated: "Come on, come on, please sit down." ”
Most of the people who were close to the side were nobles, and in addition, there were court officials like Wu Dui, who couldn't help but envy in their hearts when they heard the emperor's tone.
The friendship between classmates in the past ten years is really stronger than gold, and there is no second person in the world.
Gao pragmatic confessed to the noble and high-ranking officials, and sat down in the lower position beside the emperor, but did not immediately ask the emperor the intention of coming, but said: "Your Majesty, although the imperial food in the palace is good, but according to the understanding of the ministers, the first priority of its cooking is 'no fault', and although 'no fault' is in line with the golden mean, it lacks some novelty...... The minister is different here, the food at home is slightly light on weekdays, but if you feast guests, you often choose famous dishes from all over the world and overseas novelties, since the emperor is here today, don't miss it. ”
Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't put his mind on eating, but when he heard Gao Shishi say this, he couldn't help but be a little interested, and asked, "Oh? Then I want to see, tell me, what are the novelties in this one? ”
Gao pragmatic said: "The minister's diet is good at cherishing seafood, such as this dish, called Xi Shi tongue." ”
Zhu Yijun glanced at the dish that Gao pragmatic stretched out his hand to point, and asked, "It looks a little like scallops?" ”
"This thing is called sand clams, and according to legend, it was a famous dish in the Tang Dynasty, but the minister has never seen it in the palace for so many years, no wonder the emperor admitted his mistake." Gao Pragmatic has a close relationship with Zhu Yijun, but he is not afraid to directly say that the emperor is mistaken.
Zhu Yijun was not surprised, but was surprised: "Why is it called Xi Shi tongue?" ”
Gao pragmatic said: "The minister has not carefully researched it, but Lu Juren once wrote a poem about this thing: all fish on the sea do not know their names, and a hundred thousand lives are worth a piece of the pie." For no reason, he called Xi Shi tongue, and he had a delirious relationship with children. ”
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "This person thinks too much. ”
Gao Shishi couldn't help but smile, and said: "This thing was sent from Fujian by Ding Gaoqi, the minister, and he also told the minister a legend, maybe the emperor will be more interested when he hears it." ”
"Let me guess...... Something to do with Shih Tzu? ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Yes." said that Xi Shi and Fan Li were separated on the way to escape, she knew that she was lonely and easy to invite misfortune, so she deliberately bit off her tongue and spit it out in the river. The tongue happened to fall on a river mussel with its shell open, and the tongue of a beautiful woman with a fairy fetus was of course not ordinary, and it actually survived in the mussel's body. And from the river into the sea, it has become the tongue of beauty today. ”
Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "The Huansha people are still tongue-in-cheek, although the story itself is a bit poignant, but future generations can enjoy the delicious taste and reputation, but it does not live up to Xi Shi." ”
After chatting for a while, Zhu Yijun ate some Gaofu dishes, praised them, and sighed with emotion: "I thought that the imperial diet should be the most delicious dishes in the world, but now it seems that it is not. ”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have wronged the imperial dining room with what you said." ”
"Oh?" Zhu Yijun was surprised: "Where did you wronged them?" ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "You are just used to eating, or even tired of eating, and you think it is particularly delicious when you change the taste." It's the same as the minister, after eating at home for a long time, and occasionally going to someone else's house to have a drink, I always feel that the dishes at home have a different flavor, and the family is far from comparable. But in fact, if he was judged by a person who had never eaten in either family, maybe he would think that the dishes in the minister's house were more delicious. ”
Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the truth, I understand." It's no wonder that every time I go to Tianshou Mountain, I always feel that the chef on the side of the imperial tomb is better than the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room. ”
But this topic ends here, at this time, the banquet has been going on for a while, the wine has passed three rounds, the food has passed five flavors, and the people around them no longer stare at the two of them as they did at the beginning, Zhu Yijun changed the topic and said: "Yao Yuan is about to get married." ”
Gao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "So fast?" ”
Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly: "The last time you and Yao Yuan 'coincidentally', the queen mother still knew about it later, fortunately there was no accident that time, Yao Yuan also behaved very calmly afterwards, the queen mother didn't care, but ......"
He sighed: "The queen mother may still be worried about long nights and dreams, this time after you go to Saibei, she asked Chen Hong to personally go out to select a horse for Yongning, and asked everything to be ...... If you hadn't fought too fast this time, I guess the queen mother would have wanted to get this done before you came back, and it would have been a great end to all the troubles. ”
Gao Shishi smiled bitterly: "It sounds like the minister should stay in Tumut for a long time." ”
"Don't talk angry." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I know that this is none of your business, but the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and she is the queen mother of me and Yaoyuan, and even I can't interfere in this kind of thing...... I know your grievances, so I've been thinking about how to reward you for your great work this time. ”
