The Imperial Dining Room is similar to all the yamen in the palace, adhering to the concept that as long as nothing goes wrong, it is the greatest good thing. As long as the emperor does not object, a recipe can even be made for a lifetime. Even in some dynasties, the emperor's recipe would not change once a month. Who can stand those dishes, eat them on the last meal, eat them next, and eat them the next day, or even for a month?

Even if it is delicious, it is disgusted to eat. Because of these inertia in the imperial dining room, some emperors were forced to find ways to solve the problem of eating. Although he is the first person in the world, most of the time, the emperor still takes these, and usually the cooks at the lowest level of society have no choice.

If nothing else, the emperor is afraid that these people will poison you in the dish. Although there has not been a recipe to eat for a month in this dynasty, the problem is that the skills of the group of people in the imperial dining room are not necessarily low, but the people who are messing around still occupy the majority. Especially this emperor, he is really not the emperor who covets his appetite.

And the imperial meal is more particular about the dishes and patterns, as for the taste, it is ordinary. Most of the time, those imperial flavors are turned over and over again, and it's the same taste. There will be no change in how much vegetable oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are put in each dish, and how much Sichuan pepper is put in the ingredients. It's okay to eat this flavor once in a while, but if you eat it all year round, forget it.

Suddenly, I saw these new tricks made by Huang Qiong, or new tricks that I had never eaten. Rao is the king of a country, and the emperor couldn't help but be stunned. When Huang Qiong was assassinated, the emperor knew from Li Haikou that his son looked down on the dishes made by the cooks in his own house, and occasionally cooked something weird.

But he didn't expect that Huang Qiong would really know how to cook. And at least it looks like the dishes taste pretty good. Although the emperor was very impressed with Huang Qiong as a dignified son, he actually cooked for himself. threw the words of the gentleman who said the sage to the back of his head, and he was a little dissatisfied.

After all, in this year, is it a gentleman who is far away from cooking? What's more, the body of the Son of Heaven can't sit down, where are the people who do such lowly things? But when Shouyang, who has never liked to eat very much, smiled at the pot-wrapped meat made by Huang Qiong and the fried eggplant box, the amount of food was much more than usual.

When his little belly was round, the emperor finally chose to be silent. After all, this little daughter, he is also distressed. Shouyang has always had a bad appetite since weaning, and he has never been very fond of eating. The little bit of food that I eat every day is almost the same as cat food. The imperial doctor also diagnosed, but said that the spleen was weak, and it would get better when it was older.

But watching his daughter eat every time, it was like drinking medicine, and the emperor was not happy in his heart. finally has what she likes to eat, even if the emperor is not satisfied, but seeing that his daughter likes it very much, where will he interfere? What's more, Huang Qiong's mother, who rarely eats meat, also ate a few pieces of pot-wrapped meat, so it was even more difficult for him to say anything.

After eating, my mother took Shouyang, who had eaten a little too much, to take a walk in the yard to eat. Only the emperor and Huang Qiong were left, and the two of them looked at each other in Tingxue Xuan. It's just that Huang Qiong knows that he, the emperor Laozi, came to listen to Xue Xuan today, and I'm afraid he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you come to listen to Xue Xuan yourself, you will definitely not be able to hide it from your father.

He came after this, and he must have found something to do with himself. Sure enough, after a group of palace maids and eunuchs removed the remnants of the table. The emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "There are some things in your heart right now, with your intelligence, you should already have some feelings in your heart. I said what would you do if one of your brothers had evil intentions and wanted to rebel? ”

Hearing the emperor ask like this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, could it be that King Jing and King Duan really did something that no one wanted to see? Although he was from the middle palace of the two kings and did not return to Beijing to guard filial piety according to the holy decree, Huang Qiong had already guessed that his two brothers were really determined to rebel.

But the problem is that Huang Qiong is a little confused, what does the old man mean by asking himself? Does he think that the rebellion of the two kings has something to do with him? I just wanted to think about it, but Huang Qiong said calmly on her face: "Father, if there are really ill intentions among the brothers, with the ability of the father, it will be easy to suppress it." ”

"What's more, more than 100,000 troops inside and outside the capital are under the control of my father. Even if there is an occasional storm, it can't set off a big storm. The son believed that with his father's ability, the four major battalions in the capital were not something that the brother could control. No matter if that brother wants to rebel, as long as he can't pull the elite soldiers of these four battalions. ”

"Even if you can pull up a team, it's just a rabble. Moreover, turning the son against the father has already lost its humanity, and it can be said that the people's hearts have been lost. In addition, the name of the elite of the four battalions is known to the world, as long as the imperial army comes out, it will inevitably be afraid. ”

"When the time comes, the father will issue another pardon, and he will only pursue the rebels and not ask about the coercion, and he will be able to disintegrate his military spirit and morale. Even if there are a few outlaws left, it will not be a big deal. Therefore, the father does not need to worry too much. There is no need for the son to do anything or not. ”

"Besides, there are many generals in the court who can fight habitually, and there are also customizations for sending troops. It's not my son's turn to call the shots, is it? Father, your son understands. But the son can't help his mother, isn't he? They are already adults and already have the ability to take responsibility for what they do. ”

"You, as a father, have already done everything, and the rest is up to them, isn't it? If they insist on going their own way and really do such a big rebellious thing, you can't do anything about being a father, right? If you come to ask your son today, it means that you already have a certain amount of planning in your heart, doesn't it? ”

Still, the son said the same thing. Whether this matter is true or not, although it is a family matter, it is also a national matter. The son is neither the prince, nor the Zhengqing of Zongzheng Temple, nor the chief of the three provinces and six departments. According to the Great Qi ancestral system, the son has no right to participate in this matter. Is it inappropriate for you and your son to discuss this? ”

"According to the custom, the prince, as the prince, has the responsibility of assisting in political affairs. My son suggested that you should consult with the prince. After all, he is the eldest brother among the brothers, and he is the prince in terms of government and politics. As the prince of a country, the future son of heaven of the Great Qi Dynasty, the prince has more right to speak. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong paused and said, "Father, don't you think the crown prince should also learn some ways to govern the country?" After all, you are now in the middle of now, and you also need someone to help you share political affairs. Besides, the prince is the prince, and the whole world is his sooner or later, and practicing government affairs in the morning is also good for the prince's growth, isn't it? ”

Huang Qiong, who guessed what the emperor was thinking, really didn't want to get involved. No matter what you say about this kind of thing, you won't necessarily think about the emperor's heart. At that time, if what you say backfires, not only may you be a person inside and out, but you may even be unlucky.

is already in Wende Hall today, as an emperor's punching bag, Huang Qiong doesn't want to come once. Especially if he can make himself, the emperor Lao Tzu, who has always been decisive, still have not made up his mind, which shows that he may not really want to be put to death in his heart. You should be even more cautious in your own answers.

To put it mildly, there is a suspicion of deliberately currying favor with him. Judging from the temper of his own emperor Laozi, he may not end up well. To put it seriously, it is not good in the heart of his emperor Lao Tzu, but it is a suspicion of eradicating dissidents. When the time comes, you may not be able to explain it clearly. Since it's not appropriate to say anything, it's better to simply stay out of it.

Huang Qiong's answer made the emperor slightly stunned. Huang Qiong's words in front of him were barely listening. But in the latter words, there is a little bit of dragging people into the water, plus the suspicion that the troubles are moving eastward. The emperor's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some displeasure: "Whether the prince needs to experience political affairs or not, that's not something you should worry about." ”

"I'm asking what you think now, and you're not here to talk to me. Also, don't say anything about the official, don't always think about fooling me. I'm not old and confused, and I can be fooled by you in a few words. What I want to hear now is what is in your heart. Playing tricks in front of me, you kid is still a little tender. ”

Hearing that the emperor's big hat was buttoned down, although Huang Qiong explained that she knew that the emperor was forcing herself to make a statement, she would definitely not be able to pass the test if she didn't say it today. can only say helplessly: "Father, my son doesn't know if you want to hear the truth from your son, or if you want to hear a lie?" ”

"What about the truth, and what about the falsehood? When did you kid become so inked? If you continue to push and hold me back here, pull and pull, be careful of your skin. Do you really not want to punish you for kneeling? The emperor, who didn't know what the hell this guy was going to do in front of him, couldn't help but be a little angry.

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Huang Qiong could only bite the bullet and say: "Father, it is true that you are the king of a country, but you are also a father." For any son, the affection for licking the calf is no less than that of any father in the world. No matter how rebellious your two brothers are, they are your sons. ”

"What's more, they're all that. If he wants to listen to lies, his son will naturally understand his intentions and intercede for his two elder brothers. In this way, he experienced the holy will, and also left an impression on his father that he valued brotherhood. In this way, it is naturally the best policy for the son. At least in terms of the temperament of the father, even if you are scolded on the spot, the son will take advantage of it. ”

But if you tell the truth, your son will tell you straightforwardly. Although you are a father, you are the king of a country. You advised your son not to have a good relationship, and he gives you the same today. At present, there is a great drought in the northwest of China, and countless victims are waiting to be fed. The imperial court is overwhelmed with revenue, and it can't afford to withstand a big chaos at the moment. ”

"So, no matter how you ask your son, it's still the same sentence, the heavenly family is selfless. If the two brothers are really opposite, you can do what you want, and you can do what the stability of the world needs. If one sentence were to be added, the son would say that the decision is constantly being disturbed. ”

"Besides, you can't leave a bad start for future generations. If you can't earn the prince, you have to rebel, just because Lao Tzu loves his son, even if the rebellion fails, it's not a big deal, at most, it's just to cut off the high walls of the prince. If that prince thinks like this in the future, won't I be a big country? ”

"Father, it is not difficult to pardon the two brothers, all you need is a letter of pardon. But the problem is that this wind must not last. Selling illicit salt is only a hundredfold profitable, enough to make people risk losing their heads. Rebelling against these 100,000, or even millions, tens of millions of profits, but the punishment is so light, isn't that a person? Speaking of this, Huang Qiong kept her mouth shut.
