Early the next morning, Ma Zhou entered the palace.

As a duty minister, he usually tidied up in the public house.

Don't underestimate the official position of serving on duty, on the surface the grade is very low, but in fact, the countless holy decrees and recitals in this Zhongshu Province need to be backed up and archived, that is to say, what happened in the whole world, the official documents of each county, and how the emperor and the prime minister dealt with it, are all in this countless pieces of paper, in the process of sorting, the affairs of the world and the knowledge of governing the world, under the influence of the ears and eyes, it is also clear to the chest.

Ma Zhou was very serious when he worked in the office, and the only thing was that in this public house with many people, his colleagues couldn't help frowning as soon as they saw Ma Zhou come in.

No one wanted to talk to him, not even closer, they didn't want to.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ma Zhou's popularity, but every time Ma Zhou comes in, the other attendants on duty feel that this place has become a pigsty.

Ma Zhou was unaware of this.

Although he used soap horns every time he took a bath to scrub his body fiercely, this smell was difficult to hide after all. Since it is difficult to hide, and the pigs have to be raised, then ...... Love whoever you want.

He buried his head in sorting out the music, and a few old servants on duty couldn't stand it, so they went out to breathe, and happened to meet Du Ruhui and a few adjutants coming over.

So the attendants on duty saluted one after another.

Du Ruhui only nodded his head, raised his leg to rub shoulders over, and one of the servants hurriedly said: "Duke Du, the subordinate has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Du Ruhui looked sideways and looked at him calmly: "Huh? ”

"Duke Du, the lower officials and others have been in the province since they entered the lower door, and they have not been exhausted for a day, and they dare not waste the political affairs of the subordinates. It's just that...... It's just that...... Ay...... Speaking of which, it's really hard to speak, since the new horse servant, the horse service stinks all over the body, we are old, I really can't stand it, in this public house on duty, up and down ......"

Du Ruhui frowned: "What do you want?" ”

"Du Gong Mingjian, it's better to ...... Please don't come to the door after this horse serves. ”

Du Ruhui looked at the faces of these servants with bitter gourd faces, but said: "Do you know that Ma Zhou was personally approved by His Majesty?" ”

Several servants looked at each other, and then someone cheered up: "No, no, no, the lower officials, etc., there is no intention of excluding the horse service, the meaning of the lower officials is that it is better to ...... Why don't you ask the horse to go to a separate public house? ”

Individually?

Du Ruhui frowned again: "He is just a servant, how can he have a separate public house." ”

This time everyone is blinded, you can't let him roll up and get out of the way, but the people in the province are all noble, and they really can't stand it. He can be allowed to go to a separate public house...... Jokes, a mere nine-grade service, where is this qualification......

But someone's eyes lit up: "Xia Guan heard that the Imperial History Observatory is lacking a supervising imperial history, and Ma Shi is a capable person at a glance, if he can be promoted to supervise the imperial history and go to the Imperial History Terrace, wouldn't it be better, Du Gongjunjian, we are really unbearable." ”

The other attendants nodded their heads with chicks.

Du Ruhui was a little confused, promoted?

Ahem......

He still looked incomprehensible and profound, and only said lightly: "He has not been an official for a long time, how can he be promoted in a few days......

When the worshippers heard this, they all said: "Du Gong doesn't know, this horse service is really a genius, this person is well-versed in the past, if he only serves a mere one, it is really too big and useless." ”

"Yes, yes, he has been working hard every day, everyone knows, we all see it, if such a person is not entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it is a pity."

"Du Gong, the country's selection of materials, since it should be eclectic, how can you bury talents because of seniority, now is the time for the country to employ people......"

Du Ruhui: "........."

immediately glared at them, and only wrote lightly: "This matter, let's discuss it again." ”

Drop this sentence and walk away calmly.

As soon as Du Ruhui left on the front foot, a eunuch came on the back foot and asked Ma Zhou to serve in the Xuanzheng Palace.

Ma Zhou didn't know...... He is only one step away from being promoted.

He was busy in the Xuanzheng Palace, but when he saw Li Shimin thoughtful, he saw him coming, and wanted to beckon him to come close to speak, but suddenly remembered something, but shook his hand, signaling that Ma Zhou did not have to step forward, and then sighed and said: "Ma Qingjia, today the military department came to cry again, saying that the grain and grass for the army of Hexi to conquer the Liang division are insufficient, and the military department is trying its best to raise it, but the money and food of the 100,000 army is really not a small amount." There is no news of the war in Hexi so far, and I am now worried that if the war is protracted, the Turks will take advantage of it and take offense. If this is the case, I will have to recruit a large army again, and I will have to personally drive it and fight the Turks. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and his spirit seemed to be shocked, but immediately, his eyes gradually dimmed.

Li Shimin thought what a hero he was back then, winning a hundred battles, thinking that back then, when he was a general, he only needed to care about defeating the enemy and winning, but now he ...... When he became the Son of Heaven, he had to worry about countless things.

So, I couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Zhoudao: "Your Majesty, at this time, the dynasty was initially decided, and all kinds of ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, it was the time to recuperate with the people, and now the Liang division has not been destroyed, and rashly started a war with the Turks, this is unwise, Your Majesty still needs to think twice." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing: "Yes, how can I not know that what you said makes sense......

Seeing Li Shimin's depressed appearance, Ma Zhou couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the minister's benevolence, there is something I want to offer ......."

Li Shimin: "......"

The current Li Shimin is really afraid of something. He said angrily: "What did he send again?" ”

"Recipes were delivered, and ...... A few pounds of salt...... It's just that this salt, at the palace gate, was copied by the guards. So ......"

"Recipe?"

"Your Majesty, Engong is very concerned about His Majesty's dragon body, he often talks about His Majesty's body, saying that his teacher doesn't know how his body is, and he is very concerned, and this time he presents a recipe, which is expected to be ......."

Li Shimin smiled dumbly, he can be regarded as convinced, I am the Ninety-Five Supreme, there are hundreds of imperial chefs in this palace who prepare meals for themselves alone, and he Chen Zhengtai is actually ingenious, and he still cares about his own diet.

You say this guy is hateful, but people always think about you.

I want to lose my temper, but I feel inappropriate.

But why do you always want to pull this guy in and beat him up?

Li Shimin sighed, his face softened, and he had to say that after a period of malicious thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a little warm: "It's rare that he has the heart to take this recipe." ”

Ma Zhou presented the recipe, Li Shimin thought that there might be a deep meaning in this recipe, so he opened the recipe and looked at it, and it was really all ingredients and cooking methods......

What a recipe......

Li Shimin couldn't help but throw the recipe aside in annoyance, and only said lightly: "Go back and tell him, I know, and there is ...... In the future, I will bring less letters, eat and eat, and I will eat and eat. ”

Ma Zhou replied stiffly: "No." ”

After sending away Ma Zhou, Li Shimin sat upright, a eunuch had already fried tea, Li Shimin took a sip, subconsciously, his eyes fell on the recipe again, and he couldn't help laughing, this Chen Zhengtai is really relying on me.

Seem...... The impression of him can't be bad.

After all, although this son is by mistake and is indeed his own disciple, these days, he doesn't seem to be using my signboard to do anything hurtful, and he only cares about my food and drink every day, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Shimin took the recipe and looked at it again, coughing.

Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward: "Your Majesty the Emperor." ”

Li Shimin's face was expressionless: "Take this recipe and cook it at the Food Bureau, I want to give it a try." ”
