Chapter 3: Steak for Reward
I have to say that as a group of people who represent the top cooking skills of the Great Sui, there is really nothing to say about cooking skills. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Yan sandwiched a piece of cut beef and put it in his mouth, the saltiness was moderate, but the meat was fried for a minute, but the meat was still very tender and the taste was very good.
After commenting on the steak and talking about some detailed requirements, Yang Yan picked up a piece of black carbon from the stove, drew a rectangular striped iron plate behind the recipe and handed it to Liu Ye to go to the Ministry of Industry to find someone to build.
After leaving the kitchen, Yang Yan walked around the East Palace, no, the Filial Piety Palace, and found that the Filial Piety Palace was out of the big way, and it was deserted.
The east palace is about 1,000 meters long from north to south, 340 meters wide from east to west, the center is the Chonghua Palace, the palace is set up with east and west compartments, it is the place where the prince deals with government affairs. Behind the Chonghua Palace, there is the Chongzheng Palace, which is where the prince lives. On the right side of the Chongzheng Hall is the Chongwen Hall, where the prince reads, and on the left side of the Chongzheng Hall is the Chongren Hall.
Further back is the Cheng'en Palace, that is, the backyard of the East Palace, and the Cheng'en Hall is the residence of the crown princess. On both sides of the Cheng'en Palace, there are two palaces of Yichun and Yiqiu, which are the residences of the crown princess and concubines.
In the interval between the Cheng'en Hall and the Chongzheng Palace, there are also left and right inner squares, that is, the places responsible for the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the East Palace, as well as the residences of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Chonghua Hall forward, is Chongming Gate, after passing through Chongming Gate, is the prince's subordinate official office of the various mansions, mainly including the door of the Fang, the Book Workshop, the Jialing Temple, the rate of the temple, the Servant Temple two squares and three temples. The Menxiafang and the Dianshufang respectively set up official positions such as the left concubine, the right concubine, and the sheren, while the three temples such as Jialing Temple set up official positions such as Cheng and Record, responsible for the life of the prince and the affairs of the East Palace.
Between Chongming Gate and Chongguang Gate, there is the Ten Rate Mansion, which are respectively the left and right service rates, the left and right military service rates, the left and right Yu Hou rates, the left and right internal rates, and the left and right palace gate generals eight rates and two generals, who are responsible for the prince's guards.
Of course, these places are empty at the moment, after all, the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, was not intended to replace Daxing Palace, and the East Palace was only used for the crown prince Yang Zhao to settle down when he came to Luoyang. Therefore, the layout is similar to the East Palace of Daxing Palace, but it is different and simplified a lot.
Although Yang Yan's eyes were hot when he looked at those places, he was not the prince, and it was even more impossible for Yang Guang to select elite soldiers and strong generals to form ten rates.
Otherwise, in the world of filial piety, if you train a strong army, you can also have more self-protection power in the future.
"It seems that the position of the crown prince has to be contested." Yang Yan held his chin, and his immature face revealed a bit of bitterness.
Da Sui is really an embarrassing situation now, Yang Guang has only one son left at the moment, Yang Xuan, but unfortunately this goods are not angry, thinking that entering the East Palace is a matter of no suspense. A few days after his eldest brother died, he couldn't bear to be lonely and had fun in his own palace and embarked on the road of death.
As for the later acting king Yang Gao, who had just conceived in Concubine Xiao's womb, it was not known whether they were male or female.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, people are looking for it, they are looking for it." A small servant ran hard, with the hem of his clothes in one hand and a pamphlet in the other.
Found it, so Li Jing is really on duty in the palace?
"Where are you, why don't you bring people?" Yang Yan was excited for a while, and it was a little difficult to suppress the emotions in his heart.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Li Jing served as a member of the driving department, and is now on duty at the racecourse of the AMTD Bureau in the palace. Li Wailang said that there was no holy order or holy parable, and he did not dare to leave his post without permission. The little servant listened to Yang Yan's movements carefully, today he saw that his Highness was not a good person, and he was very methodical.
"It's not a loss to be a god of war, and it's stricter than the law." Yang Yan's eyes lit up, although he had not seen Li Jing with his own eyes, but this attitude had already raised his good impression of Li Jing to another level.
"Now you will go to the military department for me to find Li Jing's boss and tell him that he has taken a fancy to Li Jing." In order to avoid extraneous branches, Yang Yan decided to ask someone to take care of it, and then ask Yang Guang for someone.
"Someone, prepare to fight, I'm going to see the emperor's grandfather." If he didn't hold Li Jing in his hands, Yang Yan didn't feel very steady.
He came from later generations, and he didn't know much about the military affairs of the Great Sui, if Li Jing was on the side, and by the way, he copied the art of war and martial arts he learned from the famous general Han Baohu of the Great Sui, so why worry that he would not have the strength to protect himself.
When the emperor and grandson move, the filial piety palace moves.
The mighty team slowly moved towards the Qianyang Palace.
The Qianyang Palace is the Ziwei Palace, that is, the main hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and it is also the place where Yang Guang dealt with the government affairs of the previous dynasty.
It stands to reason that after the next dynasty, he should return to the Great Cause Palace, but Yang Guang takes care of everything, and there are a lot of government affairs, and he generally does not spend time returning to the Great Cause Hall after the next dynasty, but directly stays in the Qianyang Palace and then deals with government affairs.
"King Yan, please stay, let me wait to inform Your Majesty." When a guard saw Yang Yan's driver coming, he was already waiting in the center of the gate of the Qianyang Palace.
Now in Ziwei Palace, except for Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, Yang Qi's pomp is the grandest, and there is also an imperial flag showing the word Yan Wang, and almost no one dares to stop it all the way.
"No need, this order has already been ordered by His Majesty, if King Yan comes, the guards will not stop it." A middle-aged waiter walked out, saluted Yang Yan, and made a gesture of please.
Yang Yan raised his eyes to look at the other party and nodded.
This person is Liu Yuan, the young commander of Changqiu, who is the highest official in the entire Great Sui eunuch and the most trusted by Yang Guang, who has served Yang Guang since he became the king of Jin.
Yang Guang changed the internal service province to the Changqiu Prison, with the Changqiu Order, the Changqiu Shaoling, and the Changqiu Cheng. Yang Guang doesn't like to reuse eunuchs, so he uses multiple scholars, and Liu Yuan is a special case.
"Liu Shaoling, has the emperor's grandfather ever eaten?" Yang Yan let Liu Yuan hold his hand, and asked in a milky voice.
"I used it, but after a few bites, I ordered someone to take it down." Liu Yuan has seen Yang Yan a lot of times during this time, almost every day, and Yang Yan's cute cute posture also makes Liu Yuan very close.
"It just so happened that the lonely man fried the steak, just so that the imperial grandfather could pay for it." Since Yang Yan came to ask for someone, if he didn't coax Yang Guang to be happy, he would naturally not be able to do anything. Therefore, when I came, I ordered someone to prepare a steak and a small pot of imperial wine, and I came.
"Since it is the filial piety of King Yan, I will not refuse if I want to come to the Holy Lord, please return His Royal Highness King Yan to order someone to come up." Liu Yuan stopped, looking at Yang Yan's eyes full of surprise. He has always taken care of Yang Guang, except for Yang Guang's woman, Liu Yuan is the one who cares about Yang Guang's body the most.
Yang Yan immediately asked a small servant to follow with a wooden plate and walked towards the inner hall.
At this time, Yang Guang was still sitting in front of the desk, and the imperial pen kept waving.
"Grandpa."
"Yo, it turned out to be my little boy who is here, let my grandfather hug him." Seeing Yang Yan, Yang Guang's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, smiled and smiled, stood up, and stretched out his arms at Yang Yan.
"Grandpa Huang, can you not call your grandson Lang." Yang Yan plunged into Yang Guang's arms, and then was picked up by Yang Guang.
"Oh, why is that?" Yang Guang looked at Yang Qi with a smile, a little curious why his eldest grandson didn't let him be called that.
"Phew!" Yang Yan spat out.
Then he grabbed Yang Guang's long beard with his hand, and said in a milky voice: "Grandpa Huang, what did my grandson vomit just now?" ”
"Phlegm, it's extreme, my grandson Yang Guang, how can I call it." Yang Guang scratched Yang Yan's pink little face, and his eyes were a little strange when he looked at him.
"However, the grandson's name was given by the imperial father, and I am afraid that the imperial father will be uncomfortable under the spring, so it is better to change it slightly." Yang Yan continued to play with Yang Guang's beard, showing the child's heart undoubtedly.
"How are you going to change it?" Yang Guang was even more surprised, Yang Qi had just been enlightened and didn't know much, but now he would change his name.
"It's just to remove one side and turn it into a flame character."
"Flame, good! In ancient times, there were emperors for Yan, and today I have filial piety Yang Yan, which is really a sign of Yang's great prosperity, so good. Yang Guang said hello three times in a row, and the depression in his heart also dissipated.
Yang Guang sat on the royal platform with Yang Yan in his arms, waved the imperial pen, and wrote the word Yang Yan, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
Flame, flame spirit, the sun in the sky, illuminating the earth!
Yang Guang stared at the word, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Spread the decree Zongzheng Temple, the eldest son of Yuande changed his name to Yan, and announced it to the world."
"Grandpa Huang is hungry, Yan'er prepared a steak and asked Grandpa Huang to compensate for it." Yang Yan didn't expect that his name change would go so smoothly, and Yang Guang seemed very happy, ready to make Yang Guang's mood go to the next level.
"Okay, order someone to do it, and I will pay for it." Yang Guang couldn't help but glance at Yang Yan more, and couldn't help but be moved by his intimate behavior.
Yang Yan's little chamberlain immediately carefully put on the wooden plate, and when Liu Yuan opened the silver cover, a smell of beef with pepper came to his face.
There was a black iron plate on the wooden plate, and the beef in the iron plate was still sizzling, and Yang Guang was surprised to see it.
"Liu Shaoling, please cut the beef into small pieces." Of course, this kind of thing can't be done by Yang Guang in person, and Yang Yan himself is only four years old and has no ability to cut it yet.
"No, I'll do it myself." Yang Guang picked up the knife in the wooden plate quite curiously, cut a piece of beef, and then put it to his mouth with silver chopsticks and bit it.
The meat is fine and soft, with a slight hint of black pepper spicy, and the taste is excellent and full of aftertaste.
After a while, Yang Guang ate up the whole steak, and didn't forget to rub his stomach.
"I never thought that this cow was so delicious, how did Yan Lang know?" According to the food in this palace, the first thing to eat should be him.
"Grandpa Huang, this delicacy is a new creation of the imperial chef in the grandson's palace, and after the grandson used it this morning, he wants to let the imperial grandfather pay for it." Of course, this kind of thing does not belong to himself, otherwise how would Yang Guang think about it, so he had already told Liu Ye that this steak was his original creation, and it had nothing to do with Yang Yan.
"My grandson is so pure and filial, remember me, and deserve a big reward. Tell me what you want. Yang Guang rubbed Yang Yan's little brain melon with great affection, and he was in a very good mood.
"My grandson wants Li Jing to be my grandson's guard and teach my grandson martial arts." Yang Yan went straight to the point, today he came to discuss this person with Yang Guang.
"Li Jing, which Li Jing?" Yang Guang was stunned, and he didn't remember who it was for a while.
"It's Han Baohu's nephew, Li Jing." Yang Yan looked at Yang Guang with a smile.
"It turned out to be Zitong's nephew who didn't know how to be flexible but had a great talent, and his grandson had a good eye, so Li Jing had been practicing martial arts with Zitong since he was a child, and there were few opponents, so I was right. Although I named Yanlang as the king of Yan, I did not place the palace, let alone a subordinate official. Passed the decree and ordered Li Jing, a member of the driving department, to move to the long history of Yan Wang, and concurrently served as the supervisor of Yan Wangfu. As the place of the palace, the king of Yan Yiren was ordered to build the Ministry of Works. ”
In Yirenli, it is the most expensive place in Luoyang City today, and there are many unsavable people living on this street, such as Li Yuan, who is anti-Sui Litang, lives in Shangshanfang on this Tianjie street.
The most expensive area of the East Duluo South plot should be on both sides of Jianguomen Street. This is the central axis of the entire Luoyang City, and the buildings on both sides of the Heavenly Street within the national gate are planned and built according to the highest standards as the face of the empire, and non-imperial relatives are not allowed to live in the main house. Yang Guang only entered the Luoyang Ziwei Palace on April 26, and Yang Zhao died on July 22, and there was no time to reward it, so it has been vacant.
In Yirenli, Yang Guang originally planned to reward Yang Zhao as a foreign residence, and later after Yang Zhao died, he gave Yang Jian as the palace of the King of Qi. I never thought that Yang Yan would get a steak today.
But it seems that his imperial grandfather really doesn't plan to let himself live in the East Palace for a long time, otherwise why would he give the palace well?
Thinking of this, Yang Yan was overjoyed and had a little regret.
