Chapter 152: It's hard to guess what the emperor is thinking

"Your Majesty, your mind understands. The minister also promised that he would do his best to save the British king. Just, alas. But don't worry too much, Your Majesty. The minister believes that the king of England cares about the people, and he will naturally be auspicious. And compared with other princes, the British king has a much better foundation and a much stronger body. ”

"Coupled with that Dr. Li, the medication is also timely, and the response is also symptomatic. As long as the King's fever can subside and can listen to this night, there should be hope. But Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to wait, hoping that the King of England will survive this night. I also hope that the heavens can hear our begging and leave such a good prince who is dedicated to the people for Daqi. ”

Imperial Physician Guo's words were very sad for the emperor. This is not only related to the life and death of one of his sons, but the words of the prince who is dedicated to the good of the people are like a few slaps in the face. This old friend almost didn't point directly at his nose and said, look at those bastard sons you taught.

What's more, for the emperor, he knew that with the intelligence of this old friend, he would not fail to see something behind Huang Qiong's assassination. Although he has many sons, he is the only one who can be evaluated by his old friends. Thinking of this, the emperor frowned, and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end. I just walked into the courtyard and fell silent as I watched the moonlight on the horizon.

Gao Wuyong, who had been standing for a long time and carefully following him, broke the tranquility of the emperor's body: "Long live Lord, it's getting late, shouldn't you get back to the palace?" If you don't go back, it's time for the palace to worry. Besides, it's this hour, you haven't eaten yet, your dragon body matters. ”

In response to this personal eunuch's reminder, the emperor shook his head and said, "I won't go back, I'll just wait here." After a while, you go to Zhongshu Province and tell them that Ming'er's early dynasty has stopped first. Go back to the palace again, if there is any urgent twist for me to come over, and the rest will wait for the king to get out of danger.

"As for dinner, just tell the people in the British palace to prepare a little for me. Don't prepare anything, I can't eat anything now, just make some according to what the King eats on weekdays. Also, what to say and what not to say after returning to the palace is to know in your own heart. ”

"Long live the master, forgive the slave for talking too much. You are staying here at the British Palace, is there something like that? The number of guards in the British Prince's Mansion is limited, is it a slave to transfer a team of Royal Guards? Otherwise, what if the Assassins were returning and disturbing the Holy Driver? Looking at the emperor's gloomy face, Gao Wuyong, who wanted to dissuade the emperor from staying in the British Palace, immediately took his mouth.

Regarding Gao Wuyong's worries, the emperor just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, among these princes who I am born, the only one who doesn't want me to die early is this Ah Jiu." In his house, my safety is still no problem. Don't transfer the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise you will make the entire Jingzhao Mansion restless. ”

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, although Gao Wuyong was his personal chief eunuch, he didn't dare to persuade anything, and he could only sigh secretly in his heart. The king of England was assassinated, and the emperor visited the mansion in person, not to mention, and stayed in the palace of the king. In the palace and in the court, I don't know how many waves will be set off.

You know, among the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty. The prince is sick, and although there are not many precedents for the emperor to visit, it is definitely not impossible. But because of the prince's injury or illness, staying in the prince's mansion was the first time since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. Once this news spreads, the DPRK and China will have to turn the world upside down, not to mention anything else.

It's just that Gao Wuyong, who is familiar with the emperor's character, doesn't dare to continue persuading. After the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, in view of the fierce disasters of eunuchs since the Middle Tang Dynasty, even the emperor was abolition and was manipulated in the palm of his hand. In that year, after Dingding Chang'an, Emperor Taizu was convenient for Xijing Daming, Taiji, Xingqing three palaces, respectively, erected iron plates, on the letter eunuchs have political interference, the world can kill them.

After Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Luoyang, he erected the same iron plaque in Luoyang Palace. For this iron law, the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty all respected it. Even the mediocre Emperor Rijong and Emperor Sejong did not dare to go beyond the slightest. When it comes to today, eunuchs don't talk about interfering in politics, even those who talk about political affairs are even more unforgiving.

So even if he is the emperor's favorite personal eunuch, even if he thinks it is for the good of his master. But since the emperor had made up his mind, he didn't dare to persuade him. Because he knows that if he talks more, it will involve the government. Don't look at yourself as the emperor's most trusted eunuch, but once you cross this bottom line, you can't please it.

After carefully admonishing Lehi to serve the emperor well. Gao Wuyong could only follow the emperor's words, go to Zhongshu Province to pass the decree, and return to the palace to get the recital. The emperor's meaning is obvious, let him do it immediately, how dare he delay for a moment?

Gao Wuyong went back to deliver the decree, while Li Hai carefully waited for the emperor to eat. Although no one is in the mood at the moment, after all, he is the king of a country in front of him, and what he should do is still to be done. And the emperor looked at a few simple dishes on the table, remembering his instructions to Gao Wuyong, and he couldn't believe it.

The emperor raised his head, pointed to the two meats and two vegetables on the table plus a soup, not to mention those princes, even the dinner that ordinary wealthy people can't compare, and asked Li Haidao, who was worried about his master's injury in his heart, but had to pretend to be happy in the face of the emperor: "Your master eats these things on weekdays?" ”

"If you go back to the official's house, our master's food on weekdays is simpler than this. Breakfast is just corn porridge with some small pickles, a boiled egg and steamed buns. At noon and evening, it is generally a meat and a vegetarian plus a bowl of soup. The staple food is just some old rice, and sometimes noodles are eaten. Except for His Royal Highness King Yong, our master basically does not drink alcohol on weekdays. ”

"Today's dishes, the chef still knows that the official saint drove to the British Palace. This is really not that the slave deliberately neglected the holy driver, but because the master's food was too simple, and the house really did not prepare any delicacies from the mountains and seas. The orders of the Gao family were a little hurried, and it was really difficult to prepare in a hurry, and they hoped that the official family would forgive them. ”

However, except for the occasional leisure time, the master likes to cook a few small dishes by himself, such as eggplant boxes, pot-wrapped meat, and other food. It's the two kinds of meat that we brought into the official's house today, which our master likes to burn on weekdays. It's just that the chef is not proficient, and he doesn't have the taste that our prince makes. ”

It may be seen that after listening to his answer, the emperor's already somewhat gloomy face is now getting deeper and deeper. But at the moment, I really don't know where I offended Lehi, the king of a country. Hearing the emperor's question, he quickly knelt down and returned. Although he did not know the reason for the emperor's poor complexion, Lehi had one purpose, that is, it was always right to tell the truth.

Seeing that the food on the table was really simple, it was even more unbearable because of the emperor that Huang Qiong was worried about. Originally, when I learned that Huang Qiong was assassinated, I was worried, entangled, hurt, and my mind changed in every way, which made me feel extremely bad. Just received a resounding slap from his close friend, the emperor who felt even more aggrieved in his heart.

Now he is full of depression and looking for an outlet to vent, maybe he inadvertently regards the little eunuch in front of him as the object of anger. There was some irrepressible anger in his tone, and he said, "You usually serve your master like this? See what this sounds like? As soon as the prince is in the court, he eats this kind of thing, and what kind of words do you say when it spreads? ”

"A prince, a prince, eats not as much as some people's minions. Don't you let outsiders laugh at me Daqi, as a dignified Heavenly Empire, I can't even afford to support a prince. Say, is this what your masters mean, or are you slaves deliberately making things difficult for your masters? Don't think I really don't know that you dirty people don't know. ”

Although half of the reason for the emperor's words is because the anger in his stomach has nowhere to come out, he has nothing to do here. In addition, half of the reason is that it is really hard for him to believe that this is the usual diet of his ninth son, plus there are three points of anger. Before leaving the palace, although he had been living in the cold palace, he didn't abuse him as a father.

In those years, he has always provided the daily needs of their mother and son according to the queen and the crown prince, and there has never been any deduction. His son eats these pig foods all day long, is he deliberately demonstrating in disguise, or is he having other plans. Anyway, if he wants to say that his ninth son really eats something that he sees as bad as pig food every day, he still doesn't believe it a little.

I don't complain that the emperor doesn't believe it at all, Huang Qiong, who was the prince of food before, eats such simple food every day. Because this emperor doesn't say that after ascending the throne as emperor, he can't say anything. Even when he was a prince, even among the sons of Emperor Sejong, the famous Qi Bao was not bad in terms of food.

So when I saw the simplicity of Huang Qiong's daily diet today, I didn't believe it at all. It's just that he forgot one thing, during the period when his son lived in the cold palace, although his supply was rich, the people in the cold palace also had to be able to do it. His ex-wife is not only a master of martial arts, but also proficient in divination, medicine, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even astronomy and geography.

But there is one thing, that is what women should know in this era, and no one knows about the cooking skills of needlework women. Anyway, Huang Qiong, her biological son, has never eaten her cooking or worn the clothes she sewed. And another woman, Chen Yao, although she knows some, her skills are just reluctant.

As for the only two deaf and dumb eunuchs, they were only responsible for sprinkling and sweeping every day. No matter how good the thing you give, no one will do it. Not to mention that Huang Qiong didn't care much about food in her previous life, even if she was an authentic foodie. In the past ten years, I have already been corrected by the two women who basically can't cook, and their clumsy cooking skills and their mother's strict teachings.

Huang Qiong didn't pick before, but she really didn't have to choose. As for the house, one is that after so many years, he has developed the habit of not liking luxury. The second is that he really doesn't like the diet at this time. And whether he is a prince or a prince, he can't stay in the kitchen all day long and get himself food.

Although he occasionally cooks and gets some food that he liked in his previous life. For example, northern dishes such as pot-wrapped meat, fried eggplant boxes, and braised pork, but in this era of paying attention to gentlemen's cooking, they always cook for themselves. Once it gets out, you'll get yourself in trouble.

What gentleman cooks far away, what kind of big hat that doesn't weigh himself down, even if he doesn't bite people, he responds to people, isn't it? Huang Qiong herself is indeed not the kind of person who never gets tired of eating, but she also likes food. It's just that he has always paid attention to enough food, and it is a waste to make so many dishes just for the so-called ceremony or pomp.
