Chapter 156: Five Sheep Kaitai
"Your Majesty doesn't know, these meticulous works are all lifeless characters, when they were arrested last night, in order to escape, these people were extremely vicious, and several forbidden army brothers died, so Weichen and others had to start a little heavier in order to capture them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info As for the subsequent interrogation, Weichen also tried his best to get a few people to open their mouths. Please atone for your sins, Wei Chen let these fine works stain Your Majesty's eyes. Wen Cang seized the opportunity to flatter.
"Say! Murong Jun sent you to the capital of Zhao to spy on those intelligences! Shi Hu asked sharply at those fine works.
The leader of the fine work raised his head with difficulty and said, "What information is there?" We just want to save our Highness from Yecheng, and you Zhao Guo disregard morality and put our two Xianbei Highnesses under house arrest! ”
"Presumptuous! There is no room for you to talk nonsense in the main hall! Wen Cang raised his hand and slapped him in the face one by one, hitting him with blood all over his mouth.
At this time, Gao Shangzhi suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say. ”
Shi Hu looked at this old fool and asked, "What does the prime minister have to say today?" ”
Gao Shangzhi turned to look at those fine works, and then bowed to Shi Hu and said, "This...... According to the old minister's opinion, it is really a great merit to grasp these fine works, but today's birthday of His Majesty is a good day for the whole world to celebrate, and the old minister thinks that it is better to drag these people out, and talk about it another day, lest the blood of these lowly people stay on the main hall, spoil Your Majesty's interest, and also collide with today's auspicious day. ”
"Father, the sons think that what the Prime Minister said is reasonable, and Deputy Commander Wen has made a meritorious contribution to capturing Xianbei, but this is your father's birthday, so it's better not to let these messy things spoil my father's Yaxing." Shi Shi hurriedly continued with the noble words.
After listening to the words of the two, Shi Hu felt reasonable, so he nodded and said, "What you two said is reasonable!" ”
"Father is wise!"
"Wen Cang, take these people down first! This time, you have grasped these fine works, made great contributions, and I will give you a hundred taels of gold, and you will enter the palace tomorrow to accompany you! Shi Hu instructed Wen Cang.
Wen Cang was waiting for Shi Hu's words, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and said, "Weichen thanks Your Majesty for your grace." ”
"Alright, take the people away, and tomorrow you will send a detailed interrogation result." Shi Hu waved at Wen Cang.
"Yes!" Wen Cang kowtowed again.
"The gift that Shi Yong said today is not as exciting as Lao Jiu's Ding, but it does make me deeply gratified, Zhao Guo needs you people who are loyal to me in order to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and dominate the world in the future!"
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! The Manchu civil and military forces immediately knelt on the ground and sang praises to Shi Hu again.
Shi Hu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up, it's rare to get together with you like this today, drink a little more, don't get drunk and don't return!" Come! Dry this glass! ”
The ministers hurriedly returned to their seats and raised their glasses in unison.
"Father, a few years ago, Erchen asked his father to prepare today's birthday banquet for you, and now I ask my father for permission, so that Erchen can please come up with the first dish for my father's birthday today." Shi Shi was the first to stand up and said.
"Hmm~" Shi Hu nodded while drinking, and then said, "Come on, come on!" Let me see what you've got in store for today! ”
As soon as Shi Hu finished speaking, Shi Shi applauded, and then a large wave of palace maids came in from outside the main hall, each with a novel dish and a table.
"This first dish is called Wuyang Kaitai." Shi Shi walked to the center of the hall and explained to Shi Hu.
Shi Hu looked at the dish in front of him, looking like a plate of offal slices, and asked with some confusion: "Isn't this sheep offal?" Why is it called Wuyang Kaitai? ”
Shi Shi said with a confident smile: "Back to my father, "Zhou Yi" called the Yang hexagram of the Jialian, the broken hexagram of the Yin hexagram, the first month of the Tai hexagram, the three yangs were born in the next, the winter goes to spring, the yin disappears and the yang grows, and there is an auspicious and prosperous image. My father's birthday happened to be the end of the first month, and my sons used this dish to wish my father and the emperor a healthy body, and my Zhao country was prosperous and prosperous! ”
"The name of this dish is good, and the meaning is good, but why do you use this sheep offal to make it?" Shi Hu then asked.
"My father didn't know that in Yin and Yang and medicine, the human body and the five elements only resonate, the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to gold, and the kidneys belong to water. All things are in the five elements, and yin and yang are mutually reinforcing. This dish uses five offal of a sheep, each of which is one and each offal is cooked differently to give it a different taste. ”
Shi Hu listened to what Shi Shi said, nodded as if he didn't understand, then put a piece into his mouth, chewed it heavily, and praised again and again after a while: "Hmm! It tastes good! ”
"As long as my father thinks it's delicious!" Shi Shi saw that Shi Hu was very satisfied, and he was also relieved in his heart.
"Who came up with the name of the dish? The two cooks? Shi Hu asked as he tasted it.
"No, no, the name of this dish was given by the county lord, and as for the idea of this dish, it was Erchen's idea."
Shi Hu couldn't help but stop his chopsticks, looked at Shi Shi with some surprise and asked, "When did you have such a study on cooking?" ”
"Your Majesty, how can Your Highness understand this, he went to consult the Imperial Doctor Zhang and the two cooks of the Imperial Doctor Pavilion, and then discussed it with the chef in the house for several days before he came up with this idea." Lord Liang, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly spoke.
"Oh? This is a good idea, and it is very novel. Shi Hu said with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your father's compliment." Shi Shi saluted, and then smiled at Lord Liang.
"Come on, come on, since there is good food and wine, how can there be no singing and dancing?" Shi Hu glanced at Lu An.
Lu An nodded in understanding, and went down to order, and after a while, a group of gorgeously dressed and beautiful dancers ascended the main hall. The dancers danced, the musicians played the sheng, and for a time the whole hall sang and danced, so it was not lively.
Shi Zhan has always been interested in these wine-colored songs and dances, and he sat there quietly drinking, only thinking about the war in the north. Suddenly, he raised his head, glanced at Shi Jian, and found that he was not eating or drinking, but just sitting quietly in the corner, his eyes closed, not knowing what to think.
Shi Zhan didn't pay attention to Shi Jian, he, the third brother, has always had a strange temper and doesn't talk much.
Liu Guifei looked at the Shi Shi couple sitting below, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart. Shi Zun is not here, she has tried her best to help him win over Shi Hu's sacred heart, as far as it seems that at present, the possibility of Shi Hu letting him go back to Li Cheng is basically gone, but Shi Shi's first dish made Shi Hu Longyan happy, I don't know what surprises are waiting for him to play, how can Liu Guifei not do anything in her heart? This is definitely not her Liu Huan's style.
Liu Guifei raised her head and quietly glanced at Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang was a little reluctant, and stood hesitantly in place, Liu Guifei saw that she didn't listen to the order, so she glared at Xiaoxiang fiercely.
Xiao Xiang couldn't help it, so she could only retreat quietly obediently.
Shi Hu has a big birthday, and the whole palace is busy, especially the back kitchen, which is like a chicken flying and a dog jumping. Shi Shi was ordered to plan and prepare for the banquet, and only used the two cooks outside the palace to take charge of the spoon, and the cultural relics above the hall were hundreds of officials, and it was really a little difficult for these two cooks.
But in order to curry favor with Shi Hu, how could Shi Shi take care of just two cooks?
Xiao Xiang was very familiar with the palace, and it didn't take long for her to go around to the back kitchen, and she heard the tinkling movement of the back kitchen from a distance.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Xiao Xiang: "Sister Xiao Xiang, why are you here?" ”
Xiao Xiang hurriedly turned her head, it turned out to be the little eunuch who had been doing chores in the back kitchen, so she smiled to hide her weakness and said, "It turned out to be you, this ...... I don't have anything to do, I just come over to see if you're busy. ”
The little eunuch looked innocent, did not have the slightest doubt about Xiao Xiang's words, and asked, "Is there any command from the noble concubine?" Sister Xiaoxiang, you say, I'll figure it out. ”
"No, no...... There is nothing to order, today's birthday banquet of His Majesty, Niang Niang asked me to see if your side is properly arranged, don't go wrong, and sweep away Your Majesty's interest. Xiaoxiang pretended to be serious and said.
"Sister, don't worry, the chef has arranged it, and there will be no problems."
"That's good." Xiao Xiang nodded, and then said to the little eunuch: "Okay, you hurry up and go to you, I'll go around casually, don't worry about me." ”
"Huh! That sister is on her own, I'm going to get busy. The little eunuch said, hurriedly saying goodbye.
"Go, go, go!" Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded.
