Chapter 557: Lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot
Officials are coming one after another!
Ke Yingen went up to say hello as before!
Ordinary officials who came to see the excitement, he was less polite. is not ordinary, and the officials who can decide the outcome of this time, he will be polite.
Almost every official touted that he would definitely win this time, and some low-grade ones even teased him for a treat. After listening to the praise a lot, he became more confident, and this time he will definitely win.
Ke Yingen's head of the family, Qiao Yu, came with Yang Tinghe.
Ke Yingen hurriedly stepped forward to say hello!
Yang Tinghe squinted and looked up and down, and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
Qiao Yu replied: "Ke Yingen!" Immediately, he added: "The protagonist of this competition, the shopkeeper of Gu Weixuan." ”
Yang Tinghe nodded and said, "Your Gu Wei Xuan is doing a good job!" Good luck this time! With that, he left.
This was originally a kind word, but Ke Yingen felt that the words that could come out of Yang Tinghe's mouth would definitely not be kind words. Since Yang Tinghe personally said that he wants to win, he will definitely be able to win!
In the corner of the courtyard, the people of Honglu Temple were eating tea and chatting, and a little eunuch came in a hurry. They immediately perked up, straightened their backs, and took the instruments that were leaning on the edge of their chairs in their hands.
When the little eunuch nodded at them, they had no doubts and began to play.
The officials also knew that the emperor had arrived, and they were dressed to meet him.
Several large cars drove in, the first few were the princess's ceremonial car, then the emperor's luan's car, and finally the queen mother's ceremonial car.
All the officials in the courtyard saluted the cart and said, "The ministers welcome the queen mother, the emperor, and the princess!" ”
Several big cars were like entering no man's land, heading straight for Kuiguang Pavilion.
All the officers kept bending their heads and moving their bodies with several large carts.
When they arrived at the door, the princess and the queen mother got out of the car and went to the second floor of the Kuiguang Pavilion. Zhu Houxi stood on the cart and rushed down to the officials and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”
Yang Tinghe straightened his waist, hurriedly stepped forward, and helped Zhu Houxi out of the car with Guo Xun.
Zhu Houxi walked towards the Kuiguang Pavilion and said, "Yang Aiqing, how are the military rebellions in Datong and the great hunger in Nanzhili now?" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "Fortunately, with the two million taels of silver taken out by the Holy Lord, both things have been done, and there will be good news in the near future." ”
Zhu Houxi said: "Then I can rest assured!" ”
He walked to the dragon chair in the middle of the room and sat down, and said, "Show the two adults!" ”
The eunuchs hurriedly brought two chairs and set them up not far from the bottom of the dragon chair. Yang Tinghe was on the left, Guo Xun was on the right, and then he sat down, and Zhu Houxi said again: "The two Aiqing will talk about which one can win this competition between Huiyazhai and Guweixuan!" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "The minister thinks Gu Weixuan can win!" ”
Zhu Houxi said: "Tell me your reasons!" ”
Yang Tinghe said: "Gu Weixuan's new construction is very humble and motivated, and he can take the strengths of all families and prepare for it, waiting for today's blockbuster opportunity." Therefore, their dishes will be novel and delicious, winning Huiya Zhai. ”
Guo Xun said: "The minister doesn't think that Gu Weixuan can win, but Hui Yazhai can win." ”
Zhu Houxi let out an "oh" and said, "Tell me your reason!" ”
Guo Xun said: "Huiyazhai is an old shop, and all old shops can stand for decades, which shows that the dishes are very means, and there must be a few town store skills." If you don't usually take it out, once it is exhibited at today's important moment, it will definitely surprise the four people and win the ancient Weixuan. ”
Yang Tinghe's face remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart. What a new store and an old store are just a kind of rhetoric. Although he has never been to Huiyazhai to eat, nor has he been to Guweixuan to eat, but the restaurant has worked to the point of two families, and the color and flavor of the dishes are between the two of them, and who wins and who loses depends on the referees of the six Shangshu and the three law divisions.
And the six Shangshu and the three Dharma divisions have either implicitly or explicitly said hello, not to mention that they all listen to him, at least six or seven of the nine are listening to him, so is there still suspense about the outcome of the battle?
He arched his hand at Zhu Houxi and said, "Your Majesty, which one do you think can win?" ”
Zhu Houxi couldn't see the catty here, and he decided early on that Yang Tinghe and the others were going to hold this competition, but they were just here to disgust him. is to remind him again that in Daming, they still have the final say, not you, a hairy boy, who has the final say.
But his city is very deep, and before he takes all the power in one fell swoop, he should be disgusted by Yang Tinghe and others, so that Yang Tinghe and others can be paralyzed and careless, and relax his vigilance, so that he has time to quietly arrange.
So, here he comes.
He came to see Hui Yazhai lose. However, just now, when he was standing on the cart to calm the ministers, he noticed that there were several people standing in a remote place in the distance, who were not wearing official uniforms.
The men probably thought they were standing hidden enough not to be seen, so they didn't salute him.
Three of them were extremely excited, and it seemed that it was the first time they saw the true dragon emperor, and they couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.
The other three of the several people, whom he knew, were the sons of Guo Xun and the two military generals, what were they talking about? Xu is talking about a Coke, and the three of them can't help but dare not laugh, and their faces are extremely funny.
There are two more. One is the person who is ordered by the sect, the shopkeeper of Huiya Zhai, a white and pure white fat man. The other is Li Feibai.
The white fat man's face was full of sadness, and at first glance, he didn't have any confidence in this competition.
Li Feibai's face was unfazed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth!
Before seeing Li Feibai, Zhu Houxi thought that Huiyazhai would definitely lose. Seeing Li Feibai, Zhu Houxi felt that Hui Yazhai might not have the possibility of winning!
In his opinion, Li Feibai is his lucky general, sent by God to help him.
He had no silver and couldn't do anything, Li Feibai sent 30 million taels of silver.
He couldn't get support in the Great Rites Debate, and he felt that no official understood him and understood him, Li Feibai ran the Daming Daily, so that everyone in the world knew what the Great Rites Debate was all about.
One by one, the unsolvable problems in his opinion were easily resolved by Li Feibai, such a person is not a lucky general, who is considered a lucky general. Such a person is not sent by God to help him, who is considered to be sent by God to help him?
Therefore, as soon as he saw Li Feibai and the white fat man of Hui Ya Zhai mixed together, he had a strong feeling that Hui Ya Zhai and Gu Wei Xuan had won the dispute!
Yang Tinghe and the others disgusted themselves, but in the end, it was an ending of lifting a stone and hitting their own feet.
But he didn't say that Hui Yazhai could win, but said: "Whoever wins and who loses will know if you try it!" After a pause, he said: "Pass on my order, today's competition officially begins!" ”
A eunuch came out of Kuiguang Pavilion and announced the official start of the competition with a long voice!
Hui Ya Zhai and Gu Wei Xuan brought out the dishes from their respective fire rooms, first eight cool, then eight hot, and then eight soups.
All twenty-four dishes are placed on the table for people to enjoy. Then they were sent to the Purple Light Pavilion one by one, first for the emperor to see, then to the second floor for the queen mother and the princesses to see, and finally for the assessment of the six Shangshu and the three law division chiefs to see.
When the emperor looks at it, if he thinks which dish is good, he wants to taste it. Then there will be a little eunuch who will go up to test the poison first, and after trying it, the emperor will take a chopstick and taste it.
The other eunuchs in the house would walk out of one of the Kuiguang Pavilion and announce to the public that the emperor had tried which dish from which restaurant.
And after the dish is delivered to the second floor, if the princess or the queen mother tries which dish, there will also be eunuchs who come out to announce that they have tried which dish in which restaurant.
This can add points, you can't wait for the emperor or the queen mother to eat it and say it's good, but you eat it and say it's not good!
Of course, the emperor and the queen mother didn't know which one made the dish when they tried it, and only after tasting it, the eunuch could ask before he went out to announce it.
The six books are different from the chief officials of the three law divisions, and they know which restaurant makes the dishes before tasting them. Because, when the food is served, it is in front of them, and it is difficult to think about it.
