Chapter 112: Coarse Tea and Light Rice
Compared with the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, the tea and rice at Chen Yipin's house are rougher, but the taste is excellent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
While eating, Meng Yu looked at Li Zhi with a low face, and asked, "Your Highness, this meal is quite delicious?" ”
"It's okay..." Li Zhi slowly raised his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, his face was a little ugly, as if the chicken was difficult to swallow.
Looking at him like this, Meng Yu smiled mockingly again, looked at the little prince with disdain, and said: "Your Highness, the farmer's coarse tea and light rice, if you can't eat it, you can go back to the palace to eat those delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas, I believe that thing is clean and delicious!" ”
Such a sentence made the air on the entire dinner table cold for a moment, and everyone looked at Meng Yu in disbelief, not expecting Meng Yu to say such a rebellious thing.
Chen Yipin frowned, and suddenly scolded: "Yu'er, that's Your Highness, you must not be rude!" ”
He didn't mean to blame Meng Yu, but he was afraid that if he got into trouble, he would have a hard time in the future, and it would be difficult to survive in this turbulent court.
For Chen Yipin, if Li Zhi was not a prince, he would be the first to teach Li Zhi a lesson, but he knew that Li Zhi was a prince, and there was a difference between the so-called monarch and the minister, not to mention that an ordinary person, how could he dare to be so rebellious and blame a prince.
Except for Meng Yu, there is no one else!
"Brother Yu, it's okay if Your Highness doesn't like it, I'll go to the market and bring him some delicious food later!" Chen Dazhuang was suddenly pinched by Xu, and immediately said: "Let's eat first, let's talk about this later!" ”
Xu and Liu glanced at each other, both shook their heads and sighed, not daring to say more.
The so-called too many words must be lost, the two of them are just women, and it is not appropriate to express their opinions on these matters, otherwise they will be ridiculed by others for not following the rules.
Meng Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Zhi with contempt, and asked: "Your Highness, the people are suffering, if you can't feel it personally, then what kind of royal emperor is it, it's really a shame, today's meal is very good, have you ever thought that two meals a day are all sauerkraut and radishes?" ”
"There is fish and meat like this, and you still dislike it for being dirty, what use do you say you have?"
Meng Yu was fierce and scolded, without stopping the persuasion of others.
Li Zhi was aggrieved, with tears in his eyes, he felt that Meng Yu's words this time were too heavy, which made him a little sad.
He is just not used to these coarse tea and light rice, he has to suffer such a reprimand, he feels unfair, he is a dignified emperor, brocade clothes and jade food, this is the first time for ordinary people in the countryside to eat at home, it is understandable not to get used to it, but Meng Yu did scold him so harshly, making it difficult for him to accept.
"........." Li Zhi cried, ate one bite at a time, and said: "Sir, don't be angry, you have injuries on your body, don't be angry, I'll eat..."
Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Li Zhi to say such a sentence, they all looked at the little guy who was aggrieved, crying, and eating food in one bite, and even more surprised was Meng Yu, he didn't expect Li Zhi to take care of the internal injuries on his body, and he was very happy in his heart.
"Hehe, fools can be taught!" Meng Yu didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I will compose a poem today, you can't disobey it in the future, and warn yourself all the time, although you are the emperor, although you are noble, you can't forget your roots, and the people are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, if you don't have the heart to accommodate the world, then how can you give Your Majesty a long face!" ”
Li Zhi's eyes showed respect, and he said softly: "Mr. Wang's teaching!" ”
He suddenly burst into tears and laughed, causing everyone to be suspicious, a little child, and a pampered emperor, in the face of Meng Yu's reprimand, he was not angry, and he was afraid that Mr. would be angry, this is probably the first in history.
Chen Yipin also smiled awkwardly and said, "Yu'er, let's eat first, otherwise the food will be cold!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Liu also immediately served Meng Yu with vegetables and said, "Come, Yu'er, eat more!" ”
The two elders also tried their best to alleviate the embarrassment, but they didn't dare to say more, so they could only let Meng Yu continue.
Meng Yu chuckled, looked at Li Zhi, and said: "Your Highness, please listen well, this poem will become your motto in the future, which cannot be violated or changed!" ”
"Compassion for Nong"
On the afternoon of hoeing day,
Sweat drops down the soil.
Who knows the Chinese food on the plate,
Every grain is hard.
This poem means that the peasants weeded in the field, the sweat fell on the ground, and when people were eating rice, who knew the hard work of the peasants in that kind of land?
The style of poetry is simple, it is indeed popular, it is written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen, and now it is plagiarized by Meng Yu, I hope to use this poem to warn Li Zhi, to know how to be grateful, to know that this coarse tea and light rice is not easy, to understand that the Tang Dynasty is the root of the farmer!
Chen Yipin's family was silent, they were all ordinary people, ordinary farmers, naturally knew what this poem wrote and said, and couldn't help but empathize.
Under the scorching sun, farmers still have to cultivate in the field, and what they harvest is a grain of rice, which is the foundation of survival, that kind of sadness, how can they not understand that they have been farmers for decades.
"Yu'er..."Chen Yipin muttered, feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Even Liu and Xu are the same.
"Sir..."Li Zhi was stunned, he also knew the meaning of the poem, but he still said unexplained: "I just... It's just that... I feel that the food in the farmhouse is not clean, it is black inside, and it feels like it has fallen to the ground..."
Hehe!
Meng Yu smiled sarcastically again, picked up a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, and said: "Do you know that Your Majesty is the most frugal emperor in history, if you let him come to eat the farmer's food, he will not feel dirty, you are a little emperor, now you pick and choose, and you will pay it back in the future?" ”
"The life of the people is like this, even the rice bran can be eaten, you can eat the best meal today, do you still think it is dirty?"
Hearing this, looking at Meng Yu's mocking and serious face, Li Zhi was silent, eating quietly, and never said anything more.
He knew that what the gentleman said was right, and he did not dare to refute it.
"Your Highness, my remarks may be too harsh, but I sincerely hope that you can understand the suffering of the people, and you can also understand the sadness of those people, and in the future, you can also understand the people's hearts and understand the people's feelings, and have an imperial heart that does not forget its roots and thinks of the people!" Meng Yu smiled slightly, gently stroked Li Zhi's head, and looked much soothed.
"Your Highness, those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times not only have supernatural talents, but also have perseverance! You are stupid, so you are more resilient and humble than all the emperors of ancient and modern times! ”
Meng Yu said nonchalantly, he originally accepted the holy decree of His Majesty Li Er, and asked him to teach Emperor Li Zhi the way and teach him the way of life, so he also said bluntly, he didn't hide his secrets at all, and he was not afraid of losing his head.
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and the respect in his eyes became even stronger.
He knew that Meng Yu was sincere to him, no matter whether he was an emperor or not, if he was wrong, he would be reprimanded, and if he was right, he would be praised, which was an attitude that no one else had ever had.
"Sir, the young slave will definitely live up to Mr.'s expectations, if there is anything wrong with me, please point it out to Mr., I will definitely change!" Li Zhi's eyes were firm, his stubborn little face did not relax at all, and he looked at Meng Yu and smiled.
"Good!" Meng Yu chuckled lightly and said no more.
In this way, after the family ate the so-called coarse tea and light rice, Li Zhi was also the first time to eat the farmer's food so happily, he was shocked, in fact, the taste of the farmer's food was not so bad.
