Chapter 40: The Feast

The emperor gave a feast. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is often referred to as grace, but it seems to me that it is a completely dangerous and sinful thing. Especially eating with Zhao Laoer, an emperor with a bad record in history, is even more dangerous.

Zhao Laoer's cup of wine and military power is known as one of the top ten famous banquets in ancient China, and its status is second only to the Hongmen banquet.

Eating with such an emperor with a criminal record, how can you eat with peace of mind.

What's even more terrifying is that as an emperor, his daily job is to study people's lives, those people should be killed, and those people must sit through the prison. So if you want to say who has the most enemies in the world, it is undoubtedly the emperor.

To describe it as an enemy all over the world is modesty.

Those who have a grudge want to kill the emperor to take revenge, and those who have no revenge also want to kill the emperor, and then make themselves emperors.

If there are many enemies, it is natural that you will be scared when you eat.

Now I am very worried about the heroes who want to kill Zhao Lao Er, in case he accidentally kills himself in one pot, so that he is poisoned to death by innocent people, wouldn't it be very wrong.

Fortunately, the ancient poisons were basically plant poisons and mineral poisons, and there were no synthetic poisons.

Poisoning food and blending it into the soup is the safest way to avoid being detected.

So I didn't eat the soup dishes on the table when I heard it and killed it.

"Wen Qing's family, can the meal suit your taste?" Zhao Lao Er sat on the north side of the Eight Immortals Table, watching with interest as Wen was holding a roast leg of lamb and nibbling on it.

The emperor's banquet is also divided into many kinds, the most important are two categories, internal banquet and official banquet.

The official banquet has strict procedures and etiquette, and even the emperor cannot change it at will.

After the civil and military examinations, the Luming Banquet, the Qionglin Banquet, the Eagle Yang Banquet, and the Huiwu Banquet.

Each kind of banquet to celebrate the grand ceremony of the national dynasty, folk festivals, triumphant masters, worship heaven and earth, etc., has its corresponding specifications, and the types can reach more than 100 kinds.

Today's banquet for Zhao Lao Er belongs to the internal banquet, which is a banquet between the royal family to convey family affection, which is much more casual, and there are few rules, and there is no minister of etiquette to supervise on the side.

Of course, Wen does not belong to the royal family, unless he can marry a princess.

The word marrying is very accurate, marrying a royal woman cannot be called marrying, only a princess marrying a concubine.

Therefore, Wen can participate in the internal banquet now, which is completely stained with Tan Fengyi's light.

As the younger sister of Zhao Laoer, even if she is a princess of Feng Tan Fengyi, there is no problem at all.

"Your Majesty, your family's cook is much stronger than the cook taught by Weichen. This leg of lamb is really charred on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and delicious, and it would be even more delicious if there was a little more chili powder. There is also this crystal tofu soup, Your Majesty, you can taste it, it is simply a rare delicacy in the world. Wen replied vaguely, still munching on roast lamb in his mouth. With his spare hand, he handed a dish of tofu soup on the table of the Eight Immortals to Zhao Laoer's side, and by the way, he exchanged a plate of 'branded doves' on his side to his side.

For Wen Wen's act of eating meat by himself and sending tofu soup to the emperor, he almost didn't kill a eunuch who was serving Zhao Lao Er next to him.

Zhao Lao Er completely ignored Wen's move.

"Feng Yi, you also eat a little more, Senior Brother feels that you seem to have lost a lot of weight during this time with Wen Qing's family, we martial arts practitioners, the diet must be meticulous. If the Wenqing family treats you harshly, Fengyi, don't worry, Senior Brother will definitely make decisions for you. Zhao Lao Er looked at Tan Fengyi, who was sitting quietly opposite the Eight Immortals table, and said with a slight smile on his face.

"Thank you for your concern." Tan Fengyi said softly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Feng Yi has the final say in the affairs of Weichen's family, even if Weichen starves to death, you can't starve your junior sister." Wen hurriedly clarified.

Zhao Lao Er pouted and said, "Looking at your eating posture, I'm afraid it's not far from starvation." ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know, Weichen now has to feed hundreds of people, but it's a pity that there are too few people, and the damn Kaocheng County Commander also bullied Weichen and a teenager. Not to mention the deduction of Weichen's money, he actually only gave Weichen an IOU, which is completely to starve Weichen's rhythm.

Your Majesty, you can call the shots for the ministers. Wen cried.

It is said that children who can cry have milk to eat. Today is clearly a family banquet, so there are not so many scruples.

"National bonds, which are now a national policy, can I make an exception for you." Zhao Lao Er said sternly.

"Your Majesty, when you presented the Quyuan plow, you said in the vertical arch hall that Weichen had a little credit, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to reward Weichen?" Wen began to fight for his own rights.

"What kind of reward does the Wen Qing family plan to get?" Zhao Lao Er said with a smile.

Looking at the sinister appearance of Zhao Laoer's face, he knew that if he asked for money, Zhao Laoer would definitely use state bonds to send himself away.

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of a few craftsmen in Weichen's fiefdom, and I don't know if I can transfer a few skilled craftsmen from the general prison to help Weichen a little."

The reward proposed by Wen was obviously not within the scope of Zhao Laoer's expectations.

Zhao Lao Er looked stunned, he knew a lot about the current situation of Wen's lack of money, and the entire Wenfu had eaten tofu for more than half a month. This bastard kid just now just disgusted himself with tofu soup. I thought that this bastard boy would ask for some money, but I didn't expect it to be just a few craftsmen.

This requirement must be met, and it will be up to the bastard to see what else this bastard boy can do.

"This request, I can meet it, when the Wen Qing family leaves the palace, I can ask the Shi Qing family to take you to the general supervisor to select a few craftsmen." Zhao Lao Er readily agreed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen hurriedly thanked him.

Without giving Zhao Lao Er time to think carefully, he changed the topic and continued: "But Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules for us to eat like this?" ”

The way Zhao Lao Er arranged this kind of hospitality of group sitting is obviously a copy of the way of eating in Wenfu, which is completely different from the current popular banquet method of dividing the case and eating.

"Wen Qing's family must be very familiar with this kind of banquet, and I also feel that this kind of banquet is closer to the hearts of the people." Zhao Lao Er looked at Wen and said in a calm tone: "I treat Wen Qing's family so well today, just to hear Wen Jue's heartfelt words. ”

Looking at Zhao Lao Er, who had a solemn expression, Wen put the leg of mutton in his hand on the table of the Eight Immortals, and said in a solemn tone: "Please make it clear to Your Majesty, the minister must know everything and say everything." ”
