Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Challenge of the Envoy of the Western Regions

"Keep watching." Xie Yuan stopped knocking on the table and turned to look at the black-clothed man who was kneeling on the ground.

"Whoa." As soon as the words fell, the man in black disappeared.

In the court, Xie Junze sat on the top of the main hall, listening attentively to the follow-up of the southern floods reported by the ministers below, and suddenly a shout came from outside, "Report, the envoy from the Western Regions has come to my court, and he is already on the way at this moment." ”

Hearing this news, not only Xie Junze, but even King Jin and Prime Minister Wan Cheng were all confused, how could someone come from the Western Regions, it was not time to pay tribute, and the two countries had been friends for a long time, how could they suddenly come without saying a word.

Thinking of this, Xie Junze's somewhat suspicious gaze swept over Xie Yuan and Prime Minister Wan.

"Why did the envoy from the Western Regions come?" Xie Junze summoned the person just now in and asked.

At this moment, his question was exactly the question that Xie Yuan and the others wanted to ask, so decent, how could the envoy from the Western Regions suddenly arrive.

"Back to Your Majesty, the envoy from the Western Regions came to compete with my country in cooking, saying that he heard that my country's chef is very good at cooking, so he wants to come and see it." The soldier said respectfully.

"But where are they going? How many people are there this time? Xie Junze continued to ask.

"It's already past the border, and this time there are more than a hundred chefs from the Western Regions." After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he handed over a fold with both hands, Li Sheng went down to take it, and then handed it to Xie Junze.

After Xie Junze finished reading it, he asked the little soldier to retreat, and he gave the piece to Li Sheng and asked him to show Xie Yuan and Prime Minister Wan.

After the two of them finished reading, he spoke: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Prime Minister Wan Cheng rolled his eyes and didn't say a word, and Xie Yuan was the same, for a while, the entire court was very quiet.

It didn't take long for the Ministry of Rites Shangshu to stand up: "Your Majesty, this time the envoy from the Western Regions came to compete with our country in cooking, according to the minister's opinion, we must not only convince the envoy of the Western Regions, but also let them see the style of our country." ”

Xie Junze thought about it and determined that this was indeed the best. "Well, then I'll leave this matter to you, if there's anything you don't understand, you can come and discuss it with me."

"King Jin, since the envoy of the Western Regions wants to compete with my country in cooking, then please ask King Jin to be the chief judge of this time, and Prime Minister Wan will assist and choose again

Five people, serving as judges, this matter is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and Prime Minister Gu Cheng, can there be any objections? Xie Junze turned the jade wrench on his thumb and looked at the people below.

"The minister takes the order." The king of Jin stood up and knelt down to receive the decree.

After seeing that it was almost settled, Xie Junze announced his retirement from the dynasty and returned to the imperial study, and Gonggong Li reported to King Jin and Prime Minister Wan Cheng to ask for a meeting.

After announcing that they came in, Xie Junze sat behind his desk.

"The minister sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." Xie Yuan and Prime Minister Wan Cheng knelt down and saluted.

"Flat, sit, tea." Xie Junze waved his hand.

After Prime Minister Wan Cheng sat down, he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, I don't know which imperial chef we send out to compete?" ”

"Yes, Brother Huang, the Western Regions are menacing this time, and we must also make all possible measures to deal with it, and we can't let the Western Regions underestimate us." Xie Yuan also spoke.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a confident smile, Xie Junze said confidently: "I have my own decision on this matter, you don't have to worry, by the way, King Jin, when the envoys from the Western Regions come, you go and pick them up, so that you can not only show the bearing of our country, but also not wronged the envoys of the Western Regions." ”

"Commandment." King Jin stood up and arched his hand.

"In that case, what else is there to do?" Xie Junze looked at the two of them and asked after taking a sip of tea.

"It's okay, the ministers are leaving." Xie Yuan and Prime Minister Wan glanced at each other and bowed and retired.

After leaving the imperial study, Prime Minister Wan opened his mouth and invited Xie Yuan to sit in his mansion. "Your Highness has something to do in a while, if you have nothing to do, can you go to the old minister's mansion to sit down? Let's discuss the affairs of the Western Regions. ”

Xie Yuan nodded, and ordered his little servant to go to the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan to say something, and told her that he would go out of the palace to live tonight.

In Prime Minister Wan's study, "Your Highness, Your Majesty this time...... What are you going to do? ”

Xie Yuan frowned, and said tiredly: "Let's take a look first, isn't the envoy from the Western Regions still here?" It is not certain that things will turn around. ”

Prime Minister Wan nodded and said that it was the only way to do it now.

In the evening, after Xie Junze had dinner, he came to the imperial dining room and pushed Jiang Baizhu's room open, "You must have heard the news that the envoy from the Western Regions is coming, right?" ”

Jiang Baizhu sat at the desk and raised his head for some reason

, wet eyes looked at him innocently, as if asking, what does this have to do with me?

Looking at her innocent little eyes, Xie Junze coughed twice, covered his lips with his hand and said, "I plan to let you be a contestant of my country to meet the challenge of the envoy of the Western Regions. ”

"What?" Hearing him say this, Jiang Baizhu jumped up in surprise and looked at Xie Junze in disbelief.

"Don't get excited, I just told you about this matter first, so that you can have a preparation, and also, this time the chief judge is arranging King Jin, you remember to prepare well." Xie Junze left after saying this, not giving Jiang Baizhu time to react at all.

After Xie Junze left, Jiang Baizhu hadn't come back to his senses, what did he mean, let King Jin serve as the chief judge this time, who didn't know that His Royal Highness King Jin couldn't eat meat, until now, she still had no way to cure King Jin's disease, but Xie Junze was fine, and directly set King Jin as the main judge.

Really, Jiang Baizhu couldn't help but wonder if Xie Junze did it on purpose, who didn't know that King Jin vomited as soon as he ate meat, and arranged for King Jin to be the judge this time, saying that he was not intentional, she definitely didn't believe it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Baizhu couldn't help but guess whether Xie Junze deliberately tricked King Jin, did he know about his treatment of King Jin, and also, the entire palace belonged to Xie Junze, and it was not difficult for Xie Junze to know anything.

Thinking of this, she didn't understand, what did she have to do with Xie Junze when she treated King Jin, how did she know that Xie Junze was jealous, not only did she not expect it, but even Xie Junze himself didn't realize that he was jealous.

A few days later, the document of the envoy of the Western Regions was handed down below, and the words on the document were very confident, saying that the dishes they made would definitely make Xie Junze like.

After Xie Junze saw it, he pouted, is it really so delicious? If there is really such a delicious food, it has already been introduced to their country, do they still need to send an envoy from the Western Regions to challenge it?

Thinking of this, Xie Junze was in a better mood again, hmph, the Western Regions didn't know that King Jin would vomit when he ate meat, so ah, he was waiting for them to make a fool of themselves.

Thinking of the ugly appearance of King Jin and the envoy of the Western Regions, Xie Junze also had a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at his master's smile, Gonggong Li silently stayed away from him, how could he feel that someone was going to be unlucky.
