Chapter 520: The Emperor Eats Peasant Meals
"It's good to have a sense of repentance, it's useless to be a scholar, this sentence is not wrong, but in the end it is also biased, at least it can teach people to read and write, understand the word 'country', if you can't even do this, it's really a waste, stay here and cultivate a few more talents who can benefit one party is the right way, don't think about fooling me by engaging in something hypocritical."
Zhu Youxiao's words were not only said to Wu Weiye, but also to the Guangxi magistrates present, Fang Zhenru and other magistrates couldn't help but blush, but Wu Weiye was quite happy in his heart, he could hear that His Majesty's words meant to let him continue to stay here and would not let him go to southern Xinjiang, which made him very relieved.
At this time, Ning Concubine Luoqi and Liu Ru, who were wearing veils, walked over accompanied by Wang Chengen, the celebrant and Li Mingrui, a cabinet scholar, Fang Zhenru and other officials glanced at Li Mingrui, and a look of wanting to make eye contact with Li Mingrui flashed in their eyes, but they were glared back by Li Mingrui, he didn't want the people in Dongchang to see that he, a cabinet scholar, had been controlling the behavior of these magistrates.
As soon as he entered the capital city of Si'en Prefecture, Zhu Youxiao took Ning Concubine's hand, pointed to a rolling mountain behind the city, and asked, "Your home is on that mountain?" ”
Concubine Ning looked at Zhu Youxiao with a smile in her eyes and nodded.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao instructed Wang Chengen to prepare lunch, and after the lunch break, he immediately climbed the mountain to go to the small place name that was about to be recorded in the actual record and would be forgotten by later generations.
The official responsible for preparing the lunch is Cen Jie, the prefect of the country, according to the instructions above, knowing that His Majesty's inspection of the world is specifically for the purpose of visiting the people, so he specially prepared a table of peasant rice, bacon and muddy wine, plus local chicken and game are basically peasant flavors, there is no fine carving, there is no deliberate selling of the decoration of the foreign minister, and even the knife work is not superb, even with the tableware is also to return to the luxury, the wooden table with clear lines and the stools of different heights, it is squeaky to sit on.
Zhu Youxiao doesn't know if these are deliberately done by the magistrates in Guangxi, but this feeling of "Mo Xiao Farmhouse Wax Wine and Rich Guests" does make people really feel at this moment, as a professional emperor who habitually links the lives of the people with personal ideals and achievements, Zhu Youxiao has a feeling that the emperor is not in vain and his life is not in vain.
Ordinary bamboo chopsticks can no longer be ordinary to stretch out into the mouth is an oval earthen bowl to pick up a piece of slightly browned but soaked in a variety of Yao secret spices of the local chicken, bite in the mouth is also juicy cross-flow, the mouth is fragrant, the taste buds are greatly satisfied, the fly in the ointment is a little hot.
Liu Ru, who was accompanying her, couldn't help pursing her lips, because many officials and squires were present, she could only abide by the rules and not share the table with His Majesty, even Concubine Ning, who could only watch from the side.
Seeing a new dish being served, but it was a crispy broth with the aroma of corn and meat, Liu Ru couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed Wang Chengen, who was about to take a silver needle to test the poison: "I'll test the poison for Your Majesty." ”
Before Wang Chengen could react, the silver needle in his hand was snatched away by Liu Ruyi, and the opportunity to look at the farmhouse vegetables that he had finally eaten was snatched away by Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ru said that he wanted to test the poison for His Majesty, in fact, he took the opportunity to sacrifice the five internal organs temple that had long been uncontrollable, and directly picked up the largest piece of tender and juicy crispy meat with a silver needle and put it in his mouth, because his cherry mouth was too small, and almost rushed the juice out, so she was strong enough, and swallowed it back directly, chewing back and forth, before the elastic piece of meat was physically digested into minced meat, and slowly sent into the esophagus.
"It's not poisonous, Your Majesty", Liu Ru smiled slightly, and hurriedly returned to his position, Zhu Youxiao and Ning Concubine couldn't help but smile, Fang Zhenru and other magistrates were a little stunned, but when they saw Li Mingrui's eyes, they didn't say anything, and when they didn't see it, even the patrol pressed the imperial history Zhang Duan only coughed a few times.
"If it is poisonous, eat such a big bite, you will be poisoned to death, stinky girl, you don't want to die and don't pick a good day", Wang Chengen secretly scolded Liu Ru in his heart like a resentful woman at this time, and the only benefit he could enjoy the emperor's banquet was snatched away by the little palace maid Liu Ru, which naturally made him very angry.
Liu Ru saw Wang Chengen's resentful eyes, and directly made a grimace at Wang Chengen: "Dead eunuch!" ”
Zhu Youxiao himself ate a table full of more than a dozen dishes, and then more than a dozen people gathered together to watch, although it was delicious in the world, he also ate a little excitedly, so he ordered: "Let's all go down, just have Liu Ru to serve from the side, Wang Chengen, you are waiting outside the door, for the time being, be a shopkeeper, serve dishes and send soup." ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao gave such an order, everyone withdrew from the room, and then Zhu Youxiao greeted Liu Ru: "Sit down, these are all yours." ”
……
It is now the ninth day of the ninth month of September, which is the Double Ninth Festival, although Zhu Youxiao just wants to climb the mountain in a low-key manner, but in fact, this tall and steep mountain range was occupied by the Fifth Army of the Army, Dongchang, Jinyiwei and local officers and soldiers in Guangxi as early as a month ago, almost all carnivores have been wiped out, and even reptiles such as snakes and insects have almost been eliminated by them in various ways, in order not to have any accidents when His Majesty and Niangniang climb the mountain.
Countless soldiers of the Fifth Army and Dongchang Fanzi pretended to be woodcutters and hunters secretly hid in various places in the forest, and even Zhu Youxiao himself could not know exactly how many people were around him for defense.
He is not a canary and will not stay in the Forbidden City all the time, but since he is on patrol, he must also have strict defenses, he is not opposed to the army and the Dongchang Jinyi Guards doing such a big deal, after all, this is also their duty.
The bird path in the mountain has been dug into a three-foot-wide stone staircase road by the local prefect Cen Jie in a month, and even wooden stakes have been laid on the side of the road and tied with rattan, which is used as a guardrail, and even dotted with some wild chrysanthemums to increase the artistry.
In fact, Fang Zhenru and others had already prepared a sliding rod for Zhu Youxiao and others, but Zhu Youxiao insisted on walking, and the ministers were helpless.
There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and Zhu Youxiao and others, who have entered the mountains since noon, don't know what time it is at this time, but at this time he has walked with soft feet and soft body, while Liu Ruis is is also lying on his back, walking with his hands full of complaints, and even being supported by the dignified imperial concubine Ning Concubine.
And the cabinet scholars Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen were also tired and panting, and the other accompanying magistrates were not much better, they all looked at Cen Jie, the prefect of the Tu Prefecture, with resentful eyes, since they knew that His Majesty was going to hike into the mountain, why not build the road more smoothly.
Cen Jie also wanted to cry without tears, he also thought that His Majesty was going to take a chariot into the mountain, and the road was only for the brocade-clothed man and some soldiers, His Majesty might just look, where did he think that His Majesty wanted to experience it on foot.
