Chapter 5: The King's First Meal
"Quiet!"
Qin Zheng, who knew a little bit of the inside story, was the first to recover, temporarily suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and shouted to everyone with a serious expression.
Although it was still difficult for a few people present to accept it, they did not dare to disobey Qin Zheng, so they could only reluctantly bow to Qin Zheng and stand up uneasily. Only Zhang Cang is an exception...... In addition to being uneasy, he seemed to be a little excited?
Qin Zheng, who had just calmed down, of course, also saw that Zhang Cang was special, and took the opportunity to speak: "Zhang Qing, but you have something to say?" ”
Zhang Cang didn't expect Qin Zheng to point to him, because when his two senior brothers recommended him to Ying Zheng in the past, Ying Zheng didn't pay much attention to this young man, but he was rare in his ability to never forget, so he arranged for him to be the servant of the atlas materials (Zhu Xia Official).
And now everyone present, even if it is the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuhe, they all have a sense of existence than him, but Qin Zheng just pointed out his idea, no matter how you look at it, it is not just because he found an abnormality.
However, the young Zhang Cang is not the first in wine, second in knowledge, and the other "free and loose" spokesperson who will stand in the back.
"Your Majesty, the minister does have some ideas, but he doesn't know where to start. Therefore, the minister wants His Majesty to give the minister a few capable assistants, and then give the minister the right to read the file at will, and the minister will definitely hand in a detailed report in a few days. Zhang Cang said respectfully.
Qin Zheng thought for a while and nodded:
"Okay, I'm ready, I'll give you five days, and you can pick and choose. And I feel that this matter is related to the work of Dasi Nong, so I arrange for you to deal with it together, so that there is a reference. ”
"Hey!" Zhang Cang and Sima Jian immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I also know that the current situation is complicated, so we have to work harder. There's nothing else to do here, just do whatever you need to do, I'm waiting for your results. ”
Qin Zheng waved his hand and said, to be honest, he was really a little tired.
"Hey!" The crowd responded in unison again, and then retreated and left.
It's just that no matter how Yingyi slows down, Qin Zheng has no intention of keeping him, it seems that the envoy plan will be gone for a while, so he stepped up his pace as if he had been amnestied and "escaped" from this "tiger prison".
It turned out that Qin Zheng also felt that he needed to think about it. Finally, everyone left the dormitory, and only the official walked in gently.
"Your Majesty, do you need to pass you food?"
Qin Zheng listened to the words of the internal official, only to realize that it had been a whole morning since he woke up, and he had not eaten at all.
At this time, the sound of "grunt~" sounded, and sure enough, the stomach began to protest......
"The sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest." Qin Zheng shook his head and muttered, and then asked the internal official, "Okay, what do you have to eat at noon today?" ”
When Qin Zheng asked this, the internal official frowned slightly, and said helplessly:
"Hmm...... The Imperial Physician ordered that His Majesty could only eat corn and rice, because his son only ate corn rice when he tried the medicine, and it was ...... to be on the safe side."
Qin Zheng pouted and interrupted the internal official's words: "Stop, stop, I am a sick person and need nutrition, how can I just eat corn and rice?" I want to eat meat......"
"But, Doctor..."
"He's the king, I'm the king?"
"It's... Naturally, you are the king. ”
"That's not it, I have the final say, I want to eat mutton in the water basin, and I want to eat spicy chicken, braised hairtail fish, and meat buns."
Qin Zheng said proudly, and at the same time he was a little happy in his heart, no matter what, being a king can at least eat seafood, this day has been longing for more than ten years.
"This time I'm going to have three mouthfuls of a pig, and I'm going to eat fish and spit out bones." Qin Zheng said to himself happily.
But Qin Zheng was stunned for a while before he realized that the internal official hadn't left at all, and was still looking at him with a complicated expression on the spot.
"Huh? Why don't you go to pass the meal? Qin Zheng asked suspiciously.
The internal official knelt on the ground when he heard the sound, with a helpless face:
"Your Majesty, forgive the slave and maid for being blunt, the dishes you just talked about, the little ones have never heard of it, and I'm afraid that the imperial chefs won't be able to cook it......"
Qin Zheng suddenly realized and thought: "Eh...... Forget to forget, there is none of this in these years...... No, you can't let them see it......"
Qin Zheng hurriedly flickered: "Ah, I don't know? I don't blame you, these dishes were the state banquet of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and I also found them from some ancient Jane, since you don't know how to do it, then forget it, just serve some simple dishes, but have some meat. ”
"Hey! His Majesty is still knowledgeable, and the slaves and maids have also thanked His Majesty for their compassion. After speaking, the internal official hurriedly got up and saluted, slowly withdrew from the dormitory, and went to give Qin Zheng Zhang Luo lunch.
Qin Zheng was once again the only one left in the entire dormitory. Qin Zheng, who suddenly had nothing to do, picked up the pen and map on the desk, and thought while gesturing:
"Since the map is so big, there must be a lot of forces, it seems that the plan to let Yingyi send an envoy still can't be abandoned, at least we can talk about economic and trade cooperation or something?"
Thousands of years may have passed since Zhang Cang said, so what year is it now? Even the orthodox vases are there, and I don't know if it's the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty?
Although the Han army is menacing, the Qin army is so capable of fighting, and Zhao Gao is shrewd, the plan is estimated to be successful, right? But does he have to give a reward when he comes back, and what should he do with this military power? Who will you use to balance him in the future?
It's nerve-wracking! I really don't know how Zu Long, his old man, handled so many things, and he dominated the world, it's not easy......
There is also the murderer who suffered a thousand knives, brought me here, and when I go back, he will tie him up with Xu Fu, and several major tortures will come in turn! ”
After waiting for a long time and not seeing the internal official come back, Qin Zheng was probably too hungry and could no longer think about any national affairs and what murderer's conspiracy, so he could only start thinking nonsense:
"I don't know what he can get me, I remember that in the early Qin and Han dynasties, it seemed that there was only roasting and stewing. Alas, forget it, it's just a little meaty, I'm so hungry......
There is indeed a shortage of manpower here, I am a quasi-first emperor, and there is only one eunuch to serve, and there is not even a palace maid, and there is no goal to divert attention, alas..."
Qin Zheng sighed, wrapped the quilt tightly, and unconsciously remembered his past life, obviously he was a prospective college student, and he died inexplicably without even holding a girl's hand......
At this time, there was a sudden "squeak~" sound, and the door was gently pushed open.
It's just that Qin Zheng didn't have time to be happy, and he found that the figure who came in was not as high as his chest, and it didn't seem to be an internal official who came to deliver food......
At this time, the figure had already entered the house, and Qin Zheng looked at him in the light that was not bright.
With a low hanging horn, fair skin, a pink little face, and a deep coat with a silver fox fur collar, the whole porcelain doll is so cute that people can't help but want to rub their faces and lift them high.
And his fleshy little hand is also carrying a large bamboo food box, which looks like it is not light. It was completely disproportionate to his small size, and he walked swaying and shaking, like a toddler.
"Huh?" Qin Zheng stared at the child not far away suspiciously, not knowing how to speak.
The child saw Qin Zheng sitting motionless, as if he was a little angry, his cheeks bulged, and he said in a milky voice:
"They all said that you were very sick, and when the retainers saw it, they were obviously talking nonsense, and my father was fine at all."
It was the first time Qin Zheng had been called Dad, he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he was silent for a while before he came back to his senses: "Huh? Yes...... Father is fine, it's okay. ”
The little boy nodded, and said as if I knew it:
"Oh, since my father is fine, the ministers will leave, and these plum venison preserves will not be given to my father."
After finishing speaking, he was about to turn around and walk out, Qin Zheng's eyes turned green when he heard this, and he quickly got up, and rushed towards the child with an arrow step, blocking his way out.
Qin Zheng's eyes stared at the food box, and the horns of his mouth were about to flow down:
"Good boy, what did you just say? Dried venison? That one...... Is it tasty? ”
The little boy nodded first, then put the food box behind him, and said, "It's delicious, but my father is not sick, so I won't give this to my father." ”
"This, this, who said that I am not sick, I am sick, I am very sick, and I am sick soon...... Starving! ”
Saying that, Qin Zheng snatched the food box in the little boy's hand quickly, sat on the ground, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, it seemed that he was really hungry.
The little boy next to him had obviously just been robbed of the food box, but he didn't have a trace of displeasure, but squatted on the ground and watched Qin Zheng gobble it up with a smile.
"Hehe, I know that my father must be hungry, and the people in the imperial dining room are cooking slowly and unpalatablely, which makes my father and the king uncomfortable."
The little boy said as he stepped forward to rub Qin Zheng's back, and said with concern: "Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't worry, father, I still have it, let's get it after eating." ”
Qin Zheng, whose mouth was stuffed with dried meat, also let go completely, and kept chewing while muttering indiscriminately: "Mmmm, turtle (good) son, dad dwarf mud (love you)." ”
The little boy smiled again: "Hehe, my father is really strange to speak, and the master said it, he doesn't say anything." ”
Qin Zheng, who was inexplicably taught a lesson, was not angry at all, because this scene evoked his distant memories, the days when his parents were still there, and his few happy days......
Qin Zheng's first meal in this world was carried out in this strange atmosphere.
This meal he ate was incomparably fragrant, and at this moment there was no war conspiracy in his head, only the love of his parents and the smile of his little son......
