Out of Wang Hao's mansion, Zhao Ji looked expressionless.

Zhao Ji's sudden indifference and hastiness made Wang Huang a little overwhelmed, and he sent him to the door of the house and bowed respectfully: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji of Jade Yuan nodded, looked at Liang Shicheng and ordered: "Liang Qing, you are old and frail, you fell in the palace again at noon, and the mansion is near, so you don't have to send me back to the palace to recuperate!" ”

"Old slave, thank Your Majesty for your mercy!" Liang Shicheng hurriedly thanked him.

At the call of the little eunuch, Yu Yuan got up, and Zhao Ji walked towards the Great Inner Palace with a group of forbidden guards.

Following Zhao Ji's jade chariot, Lotte thought as he walked, the same scene in history, he let it play in advance, although it can be seen that Zhao Ji's face is uncertain, but according to Zhao Ji's fear, whether he can achieve his expected goal, we have to wait and see.

"Le Qing, do you have time to have a few drinks with me?" When Lotte was worried, he only heard Zhao Ji's voice coming out of Yuyuan.

The Son of Heaven wants to have a drink alone with others, this is a great saint, listening to the ears of many people, all of them cast envious eyes to Lotte, Lotte was also shocked, and when he was busy opening his mouth to answer, he listened to the little eunuch who was in front of the jade chariot coughed a few times, and at the same time turned his gaze to Lotte, obviously refusing.

Lotte understood the little eunuch's intentions, and narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Seeing that Lotte didn't speak, the little yellow door in front of the jade chariot flattered a face and said to the jade chariot: "Your Majesty, when you return to the palace, it is already more than half of the time, and at that time, the door of the forbidden palace begins to fall into the key lock, and it is extremely inconvenient for the Marquis Le to enter and exit the inner hall at night, if it is known to the outer court......"

"Get out of the way!" Without waiting for the little yellow doorman to finish speaking, Zhao Ji of Jade Yuan scolded very displeasedly, and then said: "Le Qing, I ask if you are free, can you have a few drinks with me?" ”

The little yellow door shook in fright, and hurriedly retreated to the side and didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Lotte hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty is elegant, and the minister must accompany him!" ”

When he arrived near the Great Ban, Lotte went home with Shakuchi and said that he was drinking with the Son of Heaven in the Great Ban, and he couldn't tell when he would go home, so that the concubines didn't have to wait for a good morning after eating.

……

"Order, the imperial dining room will prepare a table of wine and food for me!"

Back at the palace, just after getting off the jade chariot, Zhao Ji commanded.

"Yes!" The little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly answered, and then reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to change your clothes!" ”

In ancient times, both the royal family and the rich nobles were very particular, and they had a dress to go home, and even after a meal they had to wash up and change their clothes, and the Son of Heaven who was the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan was even more so.

Obviously, Zhao Ji was in a very unhappy mood today, and he just snorted coldly at the reminder of the little eunuch, and hurriedly retreated to the side in fright.

Zhao Ji set his eyes on Lotte and asked, "What does Le Qing want to eat?" I asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare it for Qing! ”

The little eunuchs in the entire palace are not Tong Guan's subordinates or Liang Shicheng's henchmen, or Yang Jian's cronies, and the little eunuchs waiting on the side were all shocked when they heard the words of the Son of Heaven.

In response to Zhao Ji's question, Lotte hurriedly thanked him, thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, the minister hasn't eaten fresh beef for a long time, I don't know if there is one in the Great Inner Palace?" ”

"The slave maid will order the imperial kitchen to prepare!" was reprimanded twice in succession, and the little yellow door was very thoughtful, and he hurriedly ran out while replying.

In Yanfu Palace, the sky has already darkened.

There was wine on the table, and the temperature of the wine was just right; There are dishes on the plate, and all the dishes are treasures in the world.

"Your Majesty!" The little yellow door waiting next to him was a little hesitant on his face.

"Say what!" Zhao Ji's face was still displeased.

The little yellow door hesitated and replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial dining room replied that there is no fresh beef, only marinated beef jerky......"

Knowing that the Son of Heaven was in a bad mood today, the little yellow door was also looking at his face when he spoke, and seeing that Zhao Ji's face was becoming more and more displeased, the little yellow door snorted and fell.

Seeing that the little eunuch was trembling, Lotte was busy saying on the side: "Your Majesty, beef jerky is just beef jerky, it is a good thing to accompany wine!" ”

"That's it, that's it!" Zhao Ji waved his hand very reluctantly, and ordered: "Beef jerky, beef jerky, bring it!" ”

The little eunuch was relieved, cast a grateful look at Lotte, and hurriedly passed the word.

In ancient times, beef was not pork and mutton, and it was not meat that could be bought casually, and it was a very sought-after commodity in the Northern Song Dynasty, where commerce was extremely developed. Since China has been an agrarian country from ancient times to the present, in the case of the lack of labor in ancient times, cattle, as an inseparable part of agricultural production, must of course be given key protection.

Therefore, all dynasties have set up a "ban on slaughtering cattle", as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi issued a "princes shall not kill cattle without reason" regulations, to the Han Dynasty, killing cattle is to pay for life, although there is no such severe punishment in the following dynasties, but the government is affirming a truth: killing cattle is illegal! As for the later generations of China when they entered the modern society, killing cattle was also sentenced. It wasn't until the agricultural production methods changed that the nature of killing cattle became like killing chickens.

As the co-owner of the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhao family naturally has to abide by the rules formulated by themselves, except for worshipping the heavens and ancestors, they dare not kill cattle for food at all, and the occasional beef consumption among the people is also sick, weak, old, and bad cattle; Therefore, it is like a group of Liangshan heroes from the Water Margin who arrived at the hotel at every turn, and said that they would cut a few catties of good beef, which can basically be said to be nonsense.

Huizong Zhao Ji took two sips of wine, and his eyes fell on Lotte's body: "Le Qing, you told me, what did you see in Wang Huang's backyard?" ”

"Two good reishi mushrooms!" Lotte replied.

Zhao Ji asked tightly: "What about other than that?" ”

"Please forgive your majesty!" Lotte hurriedly said: "When the minister first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, it can be said that the flowers are gradually charming to the eyes, and he only cares about appreciating the scenery, as well as the two Ganoderma lucidum, and he has not cared about the other placements of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

"I forgot, Le Qing is the first time to go to Wang Hao's Mansion!" Zhao Ji waved his hand, and his expression became more and more displeased: "I once said in Wang Hao's mansion that it was Liang Shicheng who was a neighbor with Wang Hao?" ”

Lotte hurriedly replied: "The minister remembered, at that time, the minister joked that he asked the prime minister to buy the neighboring house, and His Majesty said that the house was the ...... of Mrs. Liang."

Speaking of this, Lotte suddenly made a sudden realization: "The minister remembered, and the minister saw a small door in the Prime Minister's Mansion......"

Obviously, Lotte got to the point, Zhao Ji's gaze became deeper, and he motioned for Lotte to stop.

Lotte was very interesting.

Zhao Ji's eyes swept left and right, and he waved his hand: "You all stand down!" ”

Today, the Son of Heaven was not in a good mood, and the palace maids and the little eunuchs who were on the side were busy saluting and thanking as if they had been amnesty, and left and right almost as if they were fleeing, and only a few little eunuchs were waiting outside the room to listen to it.

Seeing that the left and right retreats were all gone, Zhao Ji signaled to Lotte: "Go on!" ”

"Next door to the king is Mrs. Liang's mansion!" Lotte continued, speaking of this, Lotte paused, and apologized: "Forgive the minister to guess, Your Majesty saw the small door of Wang Xiang's house, could it be that he suspected that Wang Xiang and Liang Taifu were colluding with each other?" ”

He drank the wine from the jade cup in front of him, and because he drank too much, the wine flowed down from Zhao Ji's lips.

Seeing this, Lotte was busy handing Zhao Ji a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

The wine glass was placed on the table by Zhao Ji with strength, and his face was angry: "I trust Yang Jian, I didn't expect Yang Jian to damage the national foundation for small profits, I have heard of him impeached before, but he was stopped by Liang Shicheng, I thought it was just the work of those errands of the public field, but I didn't expect the matter to be so big, so that the people were not happy, and the people were in trouble......"

"The silverfish of the country have been eliminated, and the world will be peaceful one day, so why bother Your Majesty!" Lotte was busy persuading, and while persuading, Lotte filled Zhao Ji's wine glass.

Although he said this, Lotte knew very well that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Zhao Ji continued: "At the beginning of my accession to the throne, the name of the year was Jianjingguo, and the word 'Jian' was taken from the "Book of Zhongyu": 'Wang Maozhao is a great virtue, built in the people, and controls things with righteousness, and regulates the heart with etiquette. Cai Shen Ji Biography: "Establish the way in the world." There is also everything in the world. "Old Tang Dynasty Book, Yuan Chuan, Liu Wei": "I heard the reason of the ancient sages and kings, Xuan Mo did nothing, and thought about it...... Thick to the foundation, sincere and built. 'To establish the right way, to be the common standard;

'Yasukuni' is taken from the "Zuo Chuan" 'I take Yasukuni also', which means national stability. I took the name of the year for the establishment of Yasukuni, which is to show the world my philosophy and ambition to inherit the throne of the emperor at the beginning. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Lotte had to serve a big sycophant.

Taking a sip of wine, Zhao Ji continued: "In the first month of the third year of Wufu, I ascended the throne in front of the emperor's brother's corpse, and I succeeded to the throne to calm the dispute between the new party and the old party, but I did not fulfill my wish, and the dispute between the old party and the new party did not subside for a moment, and even I felt irritable about their mutual attacks every day, and even I was repeatedly restrained by the ministers of the court, so that I was controlled by it......

Therefore, I had the idea of controlling the outside with the inside, and used Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian to contain the outer court, and I knew that these three people had never been harmonious, and asked them to contain each other to achieve a balance between the left and right, but I didn't expect ......"

Zhao Ji used a typical lazy way of governing the country, the Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister in later generations, and formed a pivotal cabinet to govern the world for the outer court, and formed the inner court with eunuchs from the Great Inner Forbidden Palace to contain the ministers of the outer court, and the lazy emperors of the Ming Dynasty copied Zhao Ji's concept of governance.

In the interval of this pause, he took a sip of wine, and his face became angry: "I didn't expect that I trusted Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng so much, and Wang Hao actually colluded with Liang Shicheng inside and out......"

Internal and external collusion is the most feared thing for Zhao Ji, in Zhao Ji's eyes, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng colluded, and they are in danger of being overhead, such a situation is not uncommon in all dynasties, and Zhao Ji's heart is also more and more jealous.

Joy swelled in his heart, Lotte knew that his plan had worked, so that Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng had a thorn in Zhao Ji's heart, Lotte believed that it would not be long before Wang Hao would be dismissed, and Liang Shicheng would also fall out of favor and lose power.

Drinking, Zhao Ji's expression became more and more depressed: "I originally thought that it would be enough to have a Yang Jian, but I didn't expect Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao to also live up to my expectations, is it that my vision of looking at people and employing people is so unbearable?" ”

"Your Majesty don't blame yourself, more than 100 scholars per year, nearly 1,000 scholars every three years old, those who learn and excel are scholars, but those who are excellent may not have excellent character, I have tens of thousands of officials in the Song Dynasty, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the good and the bad are also common sense, so why should Your Majesty blame yourself!" Lotte hurriedly persuaded.

"Good and bad?" Hearing Lotte say this, Zhao Jipin smacked and nodded: "Le Qing is really erudite, this word is very appropriate!" ”
