Lin Haishan's appetite is indeed not small, but it is not so big as Zhang Qixian, the famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who has four residences, two mansions, nine residences, and eight residences, which is not enough to shock the world. It's just that in the Forbidden City, in front of the harem ladies, let go of their bellies and eat a lot of food, which may not be the last but is enough to be unprecedented.

The banquet of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother is an honor, and it is not practical to talk about it. The people of the Ming Dynasty themselves said that the dishes in the palace are exquisite in color and materials, but the workmanship is rough, and the real southeast cuisine must not be presumed, not to mention in front of the supreme, every move must be cautious, for fear of misbehaving and being blamed, where to let go of the stomach. Under the high level of tension, it is difficult for people to feel hungry, whether it is a wife or a courtier, when they drink and feast in the palace, they pay attention to observing the Supreme, and there are a few people who may be like Lin Haishan, who only stare at the plate.

It's like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. That kind of vulgar performance satisfies the needs of the upper class to laugh, and it can win the favor of all the nobles in the Grand View Garden, and they can come and go often. If Lin Haishan always maintains the demeanor of a wife or court official and contacts the Queen Mother, the effect is not as good as now.

Empress Dowager Li came from a humble background, and when she saw those women who paid attention to their demeanor and appearance everywhere, did not shake their heads and smiled, and had an extraordinarily elegant posture of eating, they actually felt a little inferior in their hearts. Under this kind of inferiority complex, it is likely to evolve into disgust. Even if you don't say it, you will think that these people are not to be approached, and as soon as you see them, you will be inexplicably vigilant, so as not to be looked down upon, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet will naturally not be relaxed.

Lin Haishan's presumptuousness was not annoying in the eyes of Empress Dowager Li, but it made her feel close to her heart. Looking at her gobbling up, Empress Dowager Li seemed to see herself back then, of course, she was much more beautiful than her, otherwise it would be impossible to get the favor of the prince, and she became a phoenix from a sprinkling palace maid who flew up the branches and gave birth to an emperor for the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking back to the beginning, the first time I saw these delicacies in front of me, I was also salivating, and it took a lot of effort to control my desires, so as not to lose my manners. This woman's self-control is not as good as her own, and it is not a sin to be able to stop so many delicious attractions to eat and drink. She has no precautions against herself and treats herself as an outsider, which proves that she has no ghosts in her heart and is worthy of trust.

Lin Haishan had already eaten up the big fish on the plate, and without waiting for the eunuch to make a move, she stretched out her chopsticks and turned over the gills, which is absolutely nothing in the palace banquet. The dishes in the palace have always been pretty, and the beauties will eat up a plate, let alone turn the fish over, and the queen on the side couldn't help laughing. Empress Dowager Li turned her head sideways, and Queen Wang hurriedly said: "The son-in-law is rude, don't be surprised by the queen mother." It's funny to see her eating fish. ”

Empress Dowager Li shook her head and said: "This is not ridiculous but pitiful, the mourning family is also from a bitter background, and it is common for them not to eat meat for a month or two." At that time, if you saw such a big fish, you couldn't stand it. The poverty at sea is not as rich as the Central Plains, although the name is a toast, I am afraid that life is also very sad. Come on, send another plate of fish to Lin Tusi, and let her sit closer to the mourner's house, so that I can see it clearly. ”

Lin Haishan kept in mind Fan Jin's instructions, and there was no need to pretend in front of Empress Dowager Li, she didn't drink much, but she didn't refuse to come with food. When he saw the fish, he kowtowed behind the bead curtain without saying a word and thanked him loudly. It was a crime of dereliction to make a loud noise in front of the Queen Mother, but now that Feng Yan is happy, naturally no one pursues this issue, but moves Lin Haishan's seat to the vicinity of the bead curtain, so that Lin Haishan's voice is lowered enough for the Queen Mother to hear clearly.

"We have the most two things here, one is a fish and the other is a deer. The queen mother is so good to the minister, and the minister must also be good to the queen mother. The weather in the north is not as good as our sea, I heard that winter can freeze people's ears, the queen mother is a rich and noble person, there must be no shortage of firewood at home, and in winter it must be to stay by the fire all day long to bake the fire and not move. It's really not cold, but people can't move, it's too boring. When the ministers returned to the ministers, they asked the small ones to hunt a few more deer, and made a deerskin coat for the queen mother, the queen, the emperor and all the nobles in the palace. Tell the Queen Mother that the clothes are warm, and you won't feel cold when you wear them on your body, even if the north wind blows outside......"

Before she could finish speaking, there was already laughter behind the curtain. The queen mother and the queen of a country have already laughed so much that they can't take care of their manners. Lin Haishan secretly admired Fan Jin in her heart, and her thoughts were accurate for these nobles, and these words really had an effect. He kept pleading guilty, thinking that he had said the wrong thing and making the nobles laugh.

Empress Dowager Li laughed for a while before saying, "Sin? Where is there any sin in this? It is a great thing that you can have this filial piety, and you are a loyal minister of the first class of the Ming Dynasty, how can you be considered a crime? I have a lot of military generals, and I don't know how many governors on the town side, no one thinks about whether the people in the palace are cold or not, and whether there is a lack of deerskin jackets to wear, you can think of these, proving that your heart is good, and the mourning family is not strange. There is no shortage of clothes in the palace, let alone skins, so keep the deerskin yourself. It's not easy for a woman to manage an island, I heard that people at sea act fiercely, even if they are against women, they will use knives, it's not easy for your woman's family to make a living in such a group of men, right? Without a man to take care of you, it's not easy to get by. In this way, the mourning family asked people to go to the library to get a leather armor and a treasure knife for you, all of which were supplied from foreign countries, and it was enough to make a self-defense for you. ”

"Thank you to the Queen Mother! The armor and swords rewarded by the Queen Mother did not dare to use them, so they took them back to the island and offered them in the ancestral hall, so that the sons and daughters could kowtow to this treasure sword and armor every day and do their filial piety! The Queen Mother is willing to entertain the ministers to eat such a sumptuous banquet, if the ministers do not serve with all their hearts, Mazu Niangniang will not agree! ”

A standard native rough billet ...... The Queen Mother made up her mind to Lin Haishan, such a woman is not a good match for a man, but for the country, she is a good use object. Being able to eat and drink and shout on such occasions without restraint proves that she does not regard herself as an outsider first, and secondly has no scheming.

As Wanli grew older, the Queen Mother also knew that the day of her return to power was approaching. Even if Zhang Juzheng can control the government for more than ten years, it is impossible for the queen mother to take power from the hands of the adult emperor, which is not allowed by the Ming system. If it weren't for the current events, I really wanted to feel at ease in the palace and not ask about foreign affairs, and the reason why I struggled to support the situation was purely to catch the ducks on the shelves.

But after a few years, seeing that his son is gradually growing up, and when it is time to hand over the power, he has a heart of love for power, and when he thinks of the future, he will be like Queen Rensheng Chen to recite scriptures and worship the Buddha in the palace without asking about foreign affairs, and he feels unwilling from the heart.

The power must be handed over, but if it can be handed over a little later, it is best to be able to do a few things, so that the entire court can see its own means, and then he can still think of a way to hold the power in his hands for a few more days. This kind of opportunity is not easy to find, after all, there is such a virtuous person as Zhang Juzheng, and the Empress Dowager Li herself is not a capable person, so it is difficult to make the ministers respect. The appearance of Lin Haishan is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Empress Dowager Li.

The eunuchs around her also reminded the Empress Dowager Li that the women at sea are fierce and difficult to cure, and the Empress Dowager Li herself is from a poor family, and she will also consider the fate of being fooled and self-defeating. But at this time, looking at Lin Haishan's innocent appearance, this concern has been dispelled, this kind of native only has the share of being framed by the Ming officials, how can he deceive the Ming Dynasty in turn?

Obtaining the absolute loyalty of a sea toast is not worth the benefits it brings to the Empress Dowager Li, but its symbolic meaning is not trivial. Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and even Wang Chonggu and others were widely praised by the government and the opposition, which was a famous achievement in the officialdom career of several people.

Compared with the northern captives, the strength of the Ming Dynasty on the sea is far behind, and he can recover a sea toast and let it be used by the imperial court, which is only stronger than the original and I answered the tribute. If you do this by yourself, it is enough to leave a strong mark in the history books, even if your son is in charge in the future, you can still exert influence. If he can be called the Ming Sea Domain as Zhang Juzheng said in the chapter, it will be a great achievement.

Moreover, a female toast also meets the propaganda needs of Empress Dowager Li, she is also a woman, such a vulgar woman can manage an island well and turn it into a sea barrier in the Ming Dynasty, why can't she help govern the country? Traditionally, before doing big things, you have to use some small things to accumulate in order to blow the wind, which Lin Haishan is most suitable for the needs of the wind.

If there is anything dissatisfied with Lin Haishan, it is the scandal between her and Fan Jin. When Empress Dowager Li first heard the news, she wanted to teach Lin Haishan and Fan Jin a lesson and give her cousin a head. Even if the cousin can't be the main room of the Fan family, Fan Jin shouldn't provoke other women at will if he has a cousin. But now that I see Lin Haishan's deliberately blackened skin, this dissatisfaction has disappeared.

From the palace maid all the way to the concubine, and then to the two palaces, all the way to the supreme throne, the most feared thing by the Empress Dowager Li is the beautiful and wise woman. Lin Haishan in front of her, like Sister Wang Xi, perfectly avoided the taboo of Empress Dowager Li. First, she is not good-looking, and secondly, she has no heart. This kind of ugly and brainless woman is the most perfect woman in the world in the eyes of Empress Dowager Li, and she can be entrusted with great responsibilities.

The scandal about Fan Jin and Lin Haishan must be a beautiful man trick used to envelop this toast now. This kind of strategy is not very popular, but for the sake of the court, it must also be used for the sake of the court. Fan Jinken's body is bait, and being perfunctory with such a spirit-like woman can be regarded as loyal.

She nodded and commanded outside, "Get up." A woman's family can manage a huge island, she must have suffered a lot, and now that she has submitted to the court, she should be blessed. Go back to your seat and continue to eat, and say whatever you want to eat, there is no shortage of food and drink for you in our palace. The court has the rules of the court, although the mourning family is the queen mother, you can't interfere in the government, your official future can only wait for the emperor's will, and the mourning family can't be specialized. But the mourning family knows a little bit about physiognomy, and you still have the ability to see people, your complexion is good luck, and your errand will not be bad! After a while, the mourning family will let Fan Qing's family enter the palace, paint a portrait for you, and draw the scene of your return to the imperial court, and leave a copy on each island in the palace, which is also a thought for us. ”

Although the Forbidden City is the most classified place in the center of the empire, it is also the place where secrets are leaked the fastest. The experience of the Queen Mother giving Lin Haishan a banquet only took a day or two, and it had already spread.

The ministers of the court are not stupid, everyone knows in their hearts, since the queen mother has spoken, then this matter is a sure case, and no one can overturn it. Not only is Lin Haishan's future uncertain, but there will be no changes in the matter of Dayuan becoming a free trade port.

Some family-related officials tried to make a last-ditch effort, trying to restrict the senior members, or trying to find Lin Haishan's shortcomings. The other part of the people began to obey reality, gave up the idea of continuing confrontation, changed confrontation to cooperation, and first established a friendship with Lin Haishan.

The behavior of the former part of the people, against the iron-fisted Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, naturally returned in vain. Dongchang arrested several officials, and immediately tried to deal with bribery, fraud, false accusations and other crimes. Originally, during the period when Zhang Juzheng was in power, the factory guards were relatively stoppable, and they did not dare to arrest people indiscriminately in Beijing. But once the sharp fangs are exposed this time, people can see how terrible the cooperation between the factory guard and the power minister is, "To the Holy Decree? Write him one. "This kind of thing is completely possible at this time, and the idea of sniping at Lin naturally quickly succumbed to reality, and no one dared to try it at will.

It is not easy to make friends with Lin Haishan. The main reason is that this female toast stands very steadily, keeps in mind her identity as a toast, and goes to worship at the dock where she should worship in Jingshi, but she does not have deep relationships with other people. In addition to Li Cailian, only Zhang Shunqing, the eldest wife of the Fan family, is left.

In the inner house of the Fan family, Zhang Shunqing looked at Lin Haishan opposite, with a serious face.

"The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes and qi are decisive for people's fortune and misfortune, since Fengyan is happy, your future will always not be bad, in three days, there should be a will to come down, and the matter of opening the sea trade has become a foregone conclusion. The Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and long live must obey the mother's order. As long as you behave well, no one can take away your inheritance. However, this does not mean that your boss has become his own world, if you do not abide by your duty and act misbehaps, you will be caught, not only can you not protect yourself, but you will also be implicated. At that time, not only will I not let Xianggong help you, but I will also let Xianggong come forward to draw a line with you first. ”

Zhang Shunqing's tone was like ice, without the slightest emotion. In order to keep this meeting secret, she drove away all the maids, even Xia He was driven away after putting down the tea and pastries.

Zhang Shunqing already knows the importance of the Dayuan trading port, and he is also very aware of the significance of the existence of this island for Daming, her husband's family, and her mother's family. Because of this, she didn't dare to take it lightly, for fear that the non-human trust would make good things worse.

For Lin Haishan, her opinion is the opposite of the Queen Mother, this woman is really hateful!

Fan Jin confessed to Zhang Shunqing about his woman, but Lin Haishan was an exception. The main reason is that her pirate identity is too embarrassing, if it is too early, Zhang Shunqing sent an eight-line letter to Guangdong for the sake of her lover, maybe she can promote a large-scale anti-bandit operation. But now that the incident has happened, the relationship between the two can't be hidden, and Zhang Shunqing is naturally dissatisfied.

Compared with the two concubines in the family and several women who had a physical relationship with their husbands but had no reputation, the degree of hatefulness of this outer chamber on the sea was far greater than that of Song Jin, especially after learning that she gave birth to Fan Jin's first son, this anger increased even more. Therefore, Zhang Shunqing deliberately concealed Fan Jin from today's meeting, just to give this woman some powerful people and let her know the proportions.

Originally, I heard that his appearance was like a mountain spirit, and Zhang Shunqing felt a little more comfortable. But after meeting, I realized that I had been fooled, although this woman was not as beautiful as herself, and she was slightly taller, but her skin was fair-skinned and her eyebrows were lovely, where was the spirit? And her husband understands that Lin Haishan's long legs and thin waist are her husband's favorite wonders, and this kind of vixen must be cleaned up!

Also, the woman looks at her eyes...... Why do you always feel awkward? is also a woman, why do you look at yourself so strangely? Zhang Shunqing felt a trace of doubt in her heart, she was even more dissatisfied with Lin Haishan, and decided to give her some hardships, it was best to drive her away from Xianggong's side, her son had nothing to do with the Fan family!
