Li Shiqiang suppressed his anger and asked the servants of Yang Yan's family again, "In my opinion, the rice dishes in these baskets are very neat, how can you say that they are inedible?" ”

Several slaves looked at this "Xianggong Juzi" and laughed, "It seems that you really came out of the countryside, if these meals can be eaten by slaves like us on weekdays, but today is Xiao Yang Langjun's banquet, all the Zhejiang rice must be carefully selected with bird feathers after cooking, otherwise if you guests eat unevenly, it will damage the reputation of the Yang family of Daozheng Fang." ”

"Toba chooses rice, it's just ......" Tang An, who was so angry that his eyebrows behind him were like a small mountain, and he was about to have a seizure but was stopped by his father.

"It is said that Qiang Ma, Shu Ma, Wu Yan, Zhejiang rice, I have never seen real Zhejiang rice, dare to ask if these rice are authentic?" Li Shi still quietly pretended to be dumb and asked.

"These rice are real Zhejiang rice, which was specially sent by Han Taichong by boat." Then the leading slave saw Li Shi's envious expression, so he dipped a few grains of rice from the basket with his fingers, "Don't believe it? You can taste this man. ”

Li Shi stretched out his fingers and scraped it, sure enough, it was really excellent Zhejiang rice, like a small pearl easily jumped from other people's fingers to his own fingers, both glutinous and full, and delicate and fragrant, Li Shi opened his mouth to swallow it, then turned around, and said to Tang An and Huo Zhongtang with a smile: "It's delicious and delicious, it is worthy of the prime minister's rice, it is worthy of ......."

Tang An'an looked at his father with pain.

The servants of Yang Yan's family watched the fuss of "Xianggong Lifter Li Fenglong" as if watching a sideshow, and laughed non-stop.

Soon Tang An saw that his father's cheeks were slightly raised, and he bit off the Zhejiang rice in his mouth fiercely, and the half of the white rice popped out, with the crisp sound of teeth colliding......

At noon the next day, Cheng Luqi suddenly got a piece sent by the emperor and summoned him to go to Xiaoyanying's palace alone to play the pair.

In the imperial history Tainan canteen, Lu Qi unhurriedly shook his sleeves, straightened the crown, and after getting up, he smiled at the imperial historians who were sitting in two columns and said: "What I said is right, don't worry, just drink tea slowly, the holy lord will naturally be measured." Then he walked out slowly.

On the seat of the palace, Gao Yue sat in front of the dining table, and there was an extra plate of flower-belly corn cake sent by the princess specially asked the envoy in front of him, "Drink tea, drink tea......" In the hesitant eyes of other imperial historians, Gao Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Loose for Liu Yan.

The emperor and Lu Qi had a long talk.

The spring sun slowly became longer, and the sun shone on the back of Yang Yan, who was silently anxious in the political hall, and also on the face of Liu Yan, who was sitting quietly in Yushitai Prison.

In the Cui Mansion of Shengpingfang, Yun Shao was leaning in front of the moon window, under the guidance of his mother, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding his belly that had begun to bulge, and sewing small clothes for his future children.

Around evening, the emperor unexpectedly summoned Zhang She, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy.

When Zhang Shi arrived in the palace, he saw Li Shi sitting behind the desk, and in the food plate in front of him were a few pieces of wheat cakes and a piece of mutton, and messy documents were piled up on it.

The Emperor looked straight at himself, then lifted the wheat cake, carefully wiped the grease stains from the meat cutting knife, and then broke the grease stained wheat cake and swallowed it one bite at a time.

"Sir advised me to reduce the carriages, horses, clothing, and meals to make up for the Jingyuan front, so I will eat these things, let me ask Mr. Zhong if he wants?"

Zhang Shi only felt that the emperor's eyes were a little hairy, and the atmosphere of the entire hall was also very embarrassing, and he was immediately uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't just quote the scriptures and praise them.

The emperor continued to say leisurely: "In addition, I have also made a ruthless effort to reduce the clothing and food of the people guarding the Yuanling Tomb, and reduce the consumption of all the people in the palace, and Jingzhao Yin Yan Shuao (Ying) has also reduced the workers and craftsmen of Jingzhao Mansion in large quantities. ”

Zhang She's scalp tingled, but he could only stir his lips and tongue, and stammered and boasted about the virtues of the Holy Lord.

"The crown prince has reduced his meals, and the concubines and princesses have sewed spring clothes for the front-line soldiers with their own hands.

Zhang She's lips trembled violently, and he couldn't help but paralyze his legs and knelt down with a grunt.

Seeing him like this, the emperor sighed, and then Tan Zhizhong and Huo Zhongtang each carried out a basket.

Zhang Shi looked at it, and it was full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and his eyes trembled immediately, and he vaguely understood where these foods came from.

"Sir, yesterday I was a little dizzy from hunger, so I walked on the streets of Chang'an City, but I didn't expect to have a big gain." The emperor's tone suddenly became joyful at this time, like a beggar who had picked up a treasure, "When I passed by a few mansions of the deacon of Nanya, I realized that the food that the kitchen in the backyard didn't want was so delicious, I lived in the deep palace, and I was lonely and unheard, but I really haven't eaten such good food, and there is really no ......."

Zhang Shi couldn't hold on any longer, and began to kowtow violently, and soon the numb pain filled his head and ears, but he still had to keep knocking.

"In addition, sir, it seems that life is not bad - the former servant Yu Shi Zhang went to Hengzhou, rehabilitated Cao Wanggao, and also impeached Xin Jinggao, the Hunan observer. However, another sneaky overseer sent by me found out that this deception seemed to be deliberately concealing another crime of Xin Jinggao. ”

At this time, hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Shi almost died in despair immediately.

I didn't expect that the emperor would send a royal history to assassinate at the same time, and also send another person who was specifically responsible for secret supervision, which was "the imperial history of the imperial history".

But he couldn't stop the emperor from continuing: "Xin Jinggao not only framed King Cao, but also killed his generals in vain and plundered their family property, Xin Jinggao also bribed officials in Beijing, including Mr. You, 30,000 Guan, 30,000 Guan......" The emperor said, drawing the number "three" with his fingers.

Then the Emperor could not say any more, and two lines of tears silently slipped down his cheeks.

"Capital offense, capital offense!" Zhang Shi only had to shout.

"Sir has been studying me for many years, but this is not the case...... I don't know if I've changed, or if my husband has changed. Li Shi turned his back slowly, and couldn't bear to let Zhang Shi see his disappointed and weeping appearance, "Strange me, as my husband, you have been poor for so long that you have no money to accept bribes...... I can't bear to see Mr. again, and I can't bear to torture him, so I can release him back into the field. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Shi was dragged out by Huo Zhongtang and other lieutenant officials, and from now on he was removed from all official positions and identities and expelled from the Yintaimen Hanlin Academy.

Zhang She's been dragged out for a long distance, and after the cry was ignored, Li Shicai sat down on the rope bed again, "Out of the edict, the imperial history of the Taiwan Academy is written by Zhang, the story is untrue, conceals the evil, and flows as the lieutenant of Hepu County." ”

The edict is vigorous and resolute, at noon the imperial history Zhang is still in the south canteen and you will have a meal, in the afternoon will be a long stream in the south, and not allowed to go home, not allowed to bring his wife and children, immediately go to the Duting Station, take the horse immediately and set foot alone on the road of ten thousand miles.

Zhang Zhu's apartment with the party members in the Yushitai was so frightened that his face was like ashes.

When the news reached the political hall, Yang Yan was suddenly on pins and needles.
