Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial city of Beijing, at dusk.

Different from previous years, this year, the emperor ordered that the royal family banquet be placed next to the pavilion in the imperial garden, next to the three huge tea trees.

Smelling the fragrance of Qingshen tea trees, drinking two glasses of wine, eating a table of good dishes, and being accompanied by the queen and three concubines, this is the good life of Zhu Youxiao's heart.

It's a pity that because he was born at the wrong time, it has been half a year since he came to this era, and almost all of the past days have been spent in thrilling.

Therefore, in this life, he doesn't want to be a faint king who eats and waits for death.

Unless, he doesn't want his own life.

The various enemies around him don't care if Zhu Youxiao is faint or not, there are too many enemies all the time who want his life.

There are always people who want to harm me.

This sentence is appropriate to describe Zhu Youxiao, the emperor.

"Hey! I also want to be a good one. ”

Sitting on a delicate wooden chair made of sandalwood, Zhu Youxiao thought of this and sighed secretly.

Indeed, in his past and present lives, he is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either.

In his previous life, he was just a passerby, and even those classmates couldn't remember what he looked like.

In this life, he finally became the most powerful emperor below, but the reality forced him to kill in order to live in peace.

But even so, sitting in the position of this emperor, he had to be a good person on the surface, in order to reassure the Wenchen generals.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"

At this time, sitting on the homemade sandalwood chair, he heard the coquettish voice not far away, and turned his head to see that it was Empress Zhang Yan, who had already brought more than ten palace ladies to finish the sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

After she sent the palace ladies away to eat by herself, she turned back and beckoned the emperor to come and sit down for dinner.

"Well, I'm here."

Now that he and the queen and the three concubines are here, Zhu Youxiao also seemed a little casual, replied casually, and got up and walked towards the banquet placed next to the Qingshen tea tree.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to drink today?"

Empress Zhang Yan, knowing that after the emperor recovered, she liked to drink two glasses of wine from time to time, and now it is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally she will drink a few glasses.

In the current imperial city, there are countless treasures of the seven famous wines of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the wine that has been cellared for more than 100 years has hundreds of jars, which can be said to be full of cherry blossoms

Such as seven famous liquors Dongyang Jinhua Liquor, Chuzhou Jinpenlu, Jiangxi Magu Liquor, Jinling Bottle Liquor, Shandong Qiulu White, Huai'an Mung Bean Liquor, Suzhou Bottle.

There is no shortage of these precious wines.

However, more than ninety percent of the wines that fill several large cellars are the result of the wanton raids in the past six months.

The seven famous liquors obtained from the house, as long as they are twenty years old, are basically collected by Zhu Youxiao's private collection and kept at home to drink slowly.

In the supermarket, the seven famous wines of the vintage sold in the royal store are just two large cars that are deliberately flowed out and used as signboards.

Of course, the first restaurant in the capital, "Yuelai Hotel", because it was opened by the royal family, seven famous wines have to be sold.

However, those that are more than ten years old are extremely expensive, and most people are reluctant to drink them.

"Well, it's better to have a jar of 100-year-old Dongyang Jinhua wine."

For this kind of wine, which ranks first among the seven famous wines of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao and Hao Shaoqi like it very much.

As for the other six kinds of famous wines, he has also drunk some, but he still feels that it is still not as mellow and soft as Jinhua wine.

"Eat! Everyone eats together, they are all their own family, and you don't have to be polite about anything. ”

After the family of five sat down, Zhu Youxiao beckoned everyone to join them, touched a glass of wine first, and then let everyone start eating and drinking.

This kind of family banquet has been held many times by Zhu Youxiao in recent months.

Now the earth is big, and he is the biggest.

In addition, in the imperial city, there is no other idle heat, and no one comes to him to overtake or anything.

Now, in the palace, there are no outsiders to control his words and deeds, of course, how comfortable he is.

Such an emperor is only cool to do.

Even if the ancients advocated: food is silent, sleep is silent.

With the refreshing fragrance of the Qingshen tea tree and the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, this meal is silent, but it is also very refreshing.

"Uh......"

Nearly half an hour later, Zhu Youxiao put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, burped, and ate and drank to his heart's content.

A moment later, a group of palace maids came and withdrew from the banquet.

"Your Majesty, these three tea trees are really amazing."

After everyone rested for a while, Zhu Youxiao accompanied the four super beauties to take a walk in the imperial garden, and Queen Zhang Yan pointed to the three mutated tea trees in front of her with her slender jade hand, took a deep breath, and said a little intoxicated.

"Of course!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at his work, a little proud, "Bottom, there are only these three now, and when it comes to the valley rain, you can pick tea leaves." ”

"When the time comes, call a few roasted tea masters into the palace, stir-fry them a little, and then soak them in boiling spring water, and after you drink them, you will know how amazing it is."

Zhu Youxiao didn't explain the mystery of this Qingshen tea tree to them, and it would be good to surprise a few of them at that time.

However, because of the magic of these three Qingshen tea trees, in the future, Zhu Youxiao will inevitably reward some of the important ministers who have worked hard.

But once they drink it, they will never forget it, which is a bit difficult to do.

These three large tea trees look extremely tall and lush, and each tea tree can produce at least 100 catties of tea in a season.

However, such a magical thing, at that time, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that it was still not enough.

Those fried teas, in the palace, at least half of them must be left, so that they will not be complained by a few concubines.

Then the remaining more than 100 catties of Qingshen tea leaves sound a lot, and it looks quite a lot.

And every important minister, one person and a half catty, is enough for everyone to distribute.

It's just that this kind of good thing, after drinking it once, will definitely be remembered all the time.

When the time comes, everyone will come to beg for it, what should I do myself?

Zhu Youxiao was a little distressed, thought about it, and then his eyes lit up, "Well, in the future, these Qingshen tea leaves will not be distributed, but only used to reward the school."

"If you don't have a big credit, you won't even give them a sniff!"

"In the future, if you want to drink tea and drink good tea, let's go and make a great contribution."

Zhu Youxiao snorted in his heart, "Otherwise, don't even think about it." ”

"And the thousand-year-old white jade peach, the thousand-year-old yellow pear, it's the same!"

In these two, he began to prepare again, to strengthen a thousand-year-old white jade peach, and a thousand-year-old huanghuali to come out, so as not to have enough to eat when he wants to.

"Well, I have to call Xuanzi, and I ordered someone to get three more tea trees to come back to school."

Zhu Youxiao made up his mind, "Otherwise, when those important ministers really come to ask for it, there will be big trouble." ”

Especially Wenchen, what they love is a cup of tea, a famous book.

Just thinking about it, you can know how pleasant it is to sit in the back garden of your home, while drinking Qingshen tea, while looking through the famous ancient Rao?

Thinking of the solution, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to accompany the queen and the three concubines in a comfortable mood, swaying and laughing and walking in the huge imperial garden.

Until the color darkened, in the entire imperial city, the lights were on, and the lights were bright, Zhu Youxiao and the others walked out of the imperial garden and walked in the direction of the Huangji Gate.

In the main square of Huangjimen, there are various troupes performing tonight.

Having fun with the ministers, although it sounds a bit contrived, I have to admit that this is an effective way to get close to the ministers and win over the military generals.

As an emperor, the emperor of a vast empire, many times, superficial work still has to be done.

That's the routine.

However, a routine that can penetrate into the hearts of the people is a good routine.
