I was a little hungry, so I got up early in the morning and walked my horse and practiced arrows. Feng Lishi, let me prepare some refreshments, the princes have been discussing for a long time, and it is estimated that they are also dry and hungry. Things have to be discussed, but you can't go hungry. Let's rest for half an hour. ”

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, but the emperor suddenly wanted to eat breakfast at this time.

Feng Lishi smiled and responded, and then went to the door of the hall to open the door and let the refreshments pass in from outside.

But after a moment's effort, there were already palace people who brought up a cage early.

Feng Lishi smiled and stood aside to introduce to the emperor.

"Sage, this is a fragrant taro roll from Xiangmanyuan, the main ingredients are wonton skin and taro from Lipu, and raisins from Gaochang and honey from Lingnan are added."

Luo Cheng looked at it and found that this small snack was very exquisitely made, this is actually a fried snack, taro is steamed and peeled, raisins are added as filling, wrapped into small rolls with wonton skin, and then fried in oil until golden brown, and then poured with honey.

The freshly fried fragrant rolls are indeed extremely fragrant, the appearance is golden and slightly burnt, the bite is very crispy, but the taro filling inside is very powdery and glutinous, and there is the sweetness of raisins.

The emperor ate one in a few bites and nodded in approval.

And a military general like Qin Qiong even ate one bite at a time, and the four taro rolls on a plate were eaten up at once, and he wiped his mouth.

Even a scholar like Wen Yanbo, although he ate Sven at this time, he was also full of praise.

"Sage, this is a gold medal scallion pancake, there are two salty and two sweet, the salty one is added to Jinhua ham puree, and the sweet one is added to Sanya coconut paste."

Luo Cheng sandwiched one and tasted a few bites, the golden scallion pancake baked like an annual ring on the outside, crispy and fragrant on the outside, soft and smoky on the inside, after eating one, he didn't feel fat, it was indeed exquisite and delicious.

The third one is an amber walnut cake, but it is made with walnut meat, cuttlefish and eggs, and it is also fried at the end, which is delicious.

Then came the crystal shrimp dumplings with thin skin and thick meat, as well as the fragrant and soft black bean sauce roasted phoenix feet, phoenix quicksand buns, and barbecued pork egg tarts.

"The last two are soup and porridge, the soup is chicken soup stewed with cordyceps flowers, and the porridge is double-waist health porridge."

A variety of delicate snacks were set up on the table, and porridge and soup were served at the end. Fortunately, it seems that there are many of them, but in fact, everything is very delicate, but the amount is small.

A military general like Qin Qiong, who was in his prime, has four kinds of dishes in one plate, which is not enough to make up a mouthful.

Come and eat the same, if you don't have these two cups of soup and porridge in the end, it's really not enough to see.

The emperor didn't eat much, only a little of everything.

"These are rewarded to the guards on duty outside the palace, they have also worked hard, let them eat while they are hot, these snacks and refreshments will not taste good when they are cold."

Feng Lishi said, "Your Majesty has also rewarded them too much. ”

After eating tea and snacks, and then a cup of hot tea, it is indeed comfortable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can taste this delicacy here with you today, in fact, thanks to those soldiers who guard the border. There are flues under the walls of this palace, which makes it extremely warm here, but in the border fortress, even if it is cold, they have to patrol and guard the border as usual, and the soldiers are not only hard, but even fighting for their lives. Although the battle of Qiuzi was fought beautifully, the casualty figure reported by Anzai was also more than 1,000. ”

"The lives of more than 300,000 turtles and rats are fate, but aren't the lives of these more than 1,000 soldiers fate?"

"If this battle is not fought well, then it may be tens of thousands of lives that may die, think about Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo, three campaigns before and after, how many soldiers and strong men died? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in other places, and their souls were lost. ”

"You are all from the Sui chaos, you should know where the years are quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for us."

"That's why I always thought that for these soldiers on the frontier, they should be treated with preferential treatment and leniency. Some people say that he overstepped his authority, but I think that this is a war, a big battle, so he is in a hurry, so he can't be regarded as overstepping his authority, nor can it be said that he is good at transferring troops and horses. ”

"The only point, he killed hundreds of thousands of people, should he kill them, should he kill so many? Indeed, in fact, it seems that there is no need to kill so many people now, especially the women and children of Rat Nishi, the old and weak, and the post-mortem cleaning of Qiuzi, which is unnecessary, but if you look at it in the long run, Cheng Yanjin's choice is not wrong. ”

"When I was in Goguryeo, I killed a lot more people than Cheng Biting Jin, and the Goguryeo people called me a slaughter and a god, did I regret it? I don't regret it, I bear the name of this person slaughter, but in exchange for the control of Liaodong by the imperial court, there is no more war outside the Guan, and the blood does not stop. Is it worth it? Worth! Again, I'll still be this slaughterer! ”

"Therefore, I think that it is not wrong for Cheng to bite Jin to slaughter the rat Nishi Department, and it is not wrong for him to liquidate Qiuzi. When Great Qin entered the Western Regions, he was defeated, and both Rat Nishi and Qiuzi sent troops to fight against our Qin, and finally they were defeated and defeated. But how long has it been? If I don't punish it severely, then there will be no peace in the Western Regions in the future. ”

"More than 300,000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands of Qiuzi people were sold into slavery, is it ruthless? Vicious. But remember, they are not Qin! They are all enemies of Great Qin, for the enemy, don't talk about any mercy, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to us. It was right for Cheng to bite Jin Tucheng and kill people, but all the people he killed were the enemies of my Great Qin, you must remember this clearly. ”

"I know that scholars don't like martial artists, especially those who kill people, but if there are no martial artists guarding the border and defending the country, although the world is big, it may not be able to put a desk on your desk, whether it is a military general or a civil minister, they are all ministers of the empire. What is Imperial Court? ”

"The imperial court is the emperor's team body to govern the world, and the governance of the world cannot only have civil ministers, but also military generals, but in the same way, the governance of the world cannot only have military people, there are no civil ministers. The combination of civil and military is like the blending of yin and yang, and it cannot be neglected. The difference is only the difference in responsibilities, each has its own duties. ”

"Cheng Biting Jin for the sake of Daqin, he bears the infamy of slaughtering, this is a loyal minister."

Luo Cheng's eyes turned to Wen Yanbo, "There is no need to quarrel and quarrel anymore, things can be argued, but it is taboo to oppose because of opposition, just make it clear and make it clear." Cheng Biting Jin is a great meritorious, summoning Cheng Biting Jin to Beijing and awarding him as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council! ”

"Your Majesty, there is no vacancy for the position of Deputy Privy Council!" Wen Yanbo said.

"Da Lin, if there is no vacancy, add one, I think that the Privy Council is now a little less than one and two deputies, and there can be one and four deputies. Cheng Yanjin was recruited into the Beijing Division and promoted to the post of deputy envoy of the Privy Council from the second grade. ”

The emperor did not say that the fourth deputy envoy wanted to give the person, and no one asked again.

At this time, the emperor looked at Feng Deyi again.

"After the war, it is necessary to be stable, after Cheng Biting Jin returns to Beijing, Xue Wanche can be appointed as the governor of the left capital, and Pei Xingyan can be appointed as the governor of the right capital. Then Xiao Yu served as the political envoy of Anxi Zuobu, Feng Deyi served as the envoy of the left, and then the eldest grandson Wuji took over the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history. ”

Feng Deyi was stunned.

He never expected that he would suddenly be expelled from the center of the court, although Yu Shi Zhongcheng was only the deputy governor of the Yu Shi Tai, but his position was important. In the Sui period, the imperial historian was only from the third grade, and Zhongcheng only had the fifth grade. But now the emperor has classified the three stations of the Sui Dynasty as the imperial history platform, and there are three courtyards under it. The Imperial History Doctor is the second grade, and the Chinese book is the same grade, and the Imperial History Zhongcheng is also from the second grade, which is one level higher than the six Shangshu.

Although he does not add level affairs, he can also enter the Xuanzheng Palace and be the minister of the Imperial Council.

But now, he was directly demoted to Anxi as an envoy, which is only a third-grade position, and compared with the power of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, it is still far behind.

This is obviously depreciating.
