Chapter 173: Each Has His Own Plan
At the same time, in the Qiqi Palace, Zhao Wuxian also enjoyed a special meal from the monarch.
Compared with his treatment, the Zhongxing Black Humerus, who was also a keeper, was only given food outside the palace and rewarded with a pot of hot wine. And Zhao Wuxian was actually beckoned by the monarch to sit in the palace, and the two of them made a judgment.
The interior of the side hall is furnished with axe pattern screens, and the position of the doors and windows on both sides is laid with double-layer guan seats, and the guan seats are decorated with black and white silk lace, and there are several cases without decoration in front, and colored jade and lacquerware are furnished.
Zhao Wuxian knelt on the seat behind the desk, leaning forward, and he had to maintain this posture throughout the meal. Fortunately, Wuxian was used to it, and he watched the "state banquet" more than 2,500 years ago with interest.
Although Jin Houwu was a good-looking, extravagant person, he was restricted by Zhou etiquette, and there was no ostentatious meal "one hundred and fifty dishes in large bowls and small plates" in the imperial era of later generations, and there were only more than ten varieties.
The recipe of Guojun Yanshi is like this: there are three pairings of staple food, and today's food is clam sauce, leek leaf water cake, and pheasant soup. The original wheat rice was replaced by water cakes, and it is said that the Yongren who managed the kitchen also learned from Yi Yin Jin's advice, but was vetoed by Jin Houwu.
Zhao Wuxian secretly guessed that in addition to the leek leaf water cake, that is, the noodles of later generations, the taste was indeed countless times that of wheat rice. When the marquis of Jin saw the wheat rice, they may have remembered that Jin Jinggong failed to eat the wheat rice, and drowned in the toilet to death, it is strange not to lose his appetite, I am afraid that he has long been unhappy with this staple food.
When eating, the soup prepared with condiments and rice crumbs should be added to the staple food, but no vegetables are added. When boiling the piglet, wrap it with bitter herbs to remove its fishy smell; While the chicken is boiling, add the stuffed sauce; When boiling fish, caviar is added and vegetables are stuffed into these foods. When eating jerky, serve with ant sauce; When eating minced meat slices, serve them with fish sauce; When eating the fish tart, serve it with mustard sauce. At the end of the morning meal, dried peaches and dried plums are eaten. It is accompanied by the salt of Daxia produced in Anyi.
These rules were enough to dazzle Zhao Wuxian, and it was also thanks to his homework in advance and his understanding of the etiquette of accompanying the monarch to eat that nothing went wrong. If he had just come into this age. It is extremely difficult to dip the cut meat on the cake into the corresponding sauce.
In addition, Wuxian also saw the seven tripods and six tripods of the monarch's specifications, all of which are solemn and elegant. The material is the finest bronze, carved with copper rings. Round cover, animal face, cloud and thunder pattern, gluttonous pattern, etc.
The rest of the food utensils are mostly bronze, and there are also some lacquerware, and the mind of the shirtless suddenly drifted into the distance. And Zigong has also arrived in the lacquer pottery city to show the world the beautiful figure of porcelain!
The banquet was silent, and Zhao Wuxian carefully adhered to etiquette. No, no, there is a serious face on the side staring at the words and deeds of the two monarchs and ministers!
After eating, you have to rinse your mouth three times with slurry water, wash your hands with hot water in the copper basin served by the temple people, and wipe your face with a kudzu cloth towel.
At this point, you can talk at will, and Jin Houwu, who has changed into a regular suit, chatted with Zhao Wuxian cordially. And Wuxian picked what Jin Hou liked to say, and the truth was mixed with a few words of flattery, which made Jin Hou extremely happy.
"Your Majesty. This is the so-called Keju play, which is many times more interesting than the single Keju of Qi Kingdom. ”
The monarch clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, just listening to Qing's description, the widow can't help but want to kick it!" ”
Jin Houwu is in a good mood today. Although since the big shooting, there have been more weak-crowned teenagers of the same age as him, such as Wei Ju and Fan Jia, but no one can be as interesting as Zhao Wuxian.
"The fire in July has passed, and when the moon is full in August, there is another moon sacrifice. When the time comes, the subordinates will enter the palace again, bring leather shackles and kicks, and teach the palace armor so that the king can watch the ......"
It's going to be August, Marquis Jin frowned, patted the Yuanyou crown on his head, and with an idea, he said: "Why do you have to do this, second and third sons, take a piece of the talisman to enter the palace, and in the future, you can let Wuxian enter and exit the Yuqi Palace by himself!" ”
Although the power of the Marquis of Jin has fallen, this is still a great glory, and looking at the entire Jin Kingdom, there are only a few people who can have this privilege. However, Zhao Wuxian knew that the Chinese army Zuo Zhibo also had a more advanced beast talisman that could enter the palace at midnight to report it.
Of course, he didn't compare himself with others, so he immediately thanked him and excused himself, and finally under the strong order of the Marquis of Jin, he was put in his sleeve.
When he finally left the side hall, the Marquis of Jin cordially held his hand when he sent him out, and asked him about his ambitions seemingly casually.
Zhao Wuxian's heart suddenly became vigilant, although Jin Houwu was not a hero, but he was not easy to fool, he said sincerely: "Wuxian is only willing to assist the emperor like Zhao Wenzi assisted the ancestor to mourn the prince, and assisted the king!" ”
This is very politically correct, on the one hand, Jin Mourning Gong, that is a great young overlord. He was exiled in the Chengzhou Shan clan since he was a child, and was welcomed back to China at the age of fourteen to succeed him, initially treated as a puppet.
However, with only one face, the Duke of Jin Mourning was shocked, and the spirit of the king suddenly appeared, and Luan Shu, Zhongxing Yan and other front feet killed the powerful ministers of Jin Ligong. Subsequently, the firing line promoted Han Ju, Han Qi, Wei Jiang, Zhao Wu and others, prompting the revival of these three clans and squeezing them into the ranks of Liuqing again.
Zhao Wenzi, the great-grandfather of Wuxi, is the favorite courtier of the Duke of Jin.
This orphan of the Zhao family went from being a dead clan who relied on a fief to make a living, and became the prince who dominated the Pan Palace, and then entered the post of secretary, jumping all the way to the next level, and finally became the ruler.
Moreover, Zhao Wu may have been the one who had lower requirements for power and the most fair handling of the affairs of the princes in the past dynasties, so he was given the nickname of "Wen".
"Goodness, great goodness, sincerity!"
As expected, the Marquis of Jin was really very useful to this sentence. Jin Mourning Gong is the idol and role model of the Jin Marquis of all dynasties, especially at the age of sixteen or seventeen, when he is ambitious. And the gentle Zhao Wenzi is probably also the monarch's favorite type of consul.
However, Wuxian didn't know that the Marquis of Jin also had his own plans: although Zhao Ying was still loyal to the Jin Kingdom, the Marquis of Jin didn't want Zhao Wuxian to be the son of the Zhao family. If he is allowed to separate a family from the Zhao family, he can only rely on his own protection, as the wings of the office, it is a good thing.
During this period, there was no mention of Le Qi, which made the Marquis of Jin very satisfied, this son would not embarrass him with sensitive things, and he was very good.
But Zhao Wuxian also had his own plans: he promised Le Lingzi that he would find a breakthrough to release Le Qi from the Marquis of Jin, but the time was not ripe yet, and he still needed to wait, and when the relationship between the monarch and the minister was closer, he could only export the request.
Human affection needs to be operated for a long time, but it is often consumed at one time! (To be continued.) )
