Chapter Seventy-Five: Who Will Vote for Hell? Two

Empress Eldest Sun sneered and said, "Okay, this palace likes the toothbrush and toothpaste you gave me very much, so I won't punish you." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info However, Your Majesty asked you to reflect at home, but you are having fun here, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are busy doing things for the court in various departments, but you are spending all day drinking here, are you ashamed? ”

Shame on you.

Guo Shan immediately shouted: "Niangniang, the minister also wants to be on duty with his colleagues, and contribute to the world and share his majesty's worries together." But this, isn't this not what Your Majesty won't let you? ”

Empress Eldest Sun was angry: "Listen to what you mean, isn't it Your Majesty's?" ”

Guo Shanbu said that he didn't dare, but in fact, he still had a lot of resentment.

"Are you dissatisfied with Your Majesty's punishment of you?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

If you say you're not satisfied, you're not. But if you are satisfied, it is impossible.

"Yes." Empress Changsun nodded and said, "You first made a meritorious service in Taichang Temple, and you saw that the trial officer could become a real official." But in the end, the emperor's edict turned your real official into a trial official, and it is normal for you to be a little resentful. ”

She said again: "But you don't want to think about it, why did the emperor punish you?" ”

"The minister doesn't complain about the emperor's punishment of the minister, the minister just feels that the emperor's punishment of Du He is too light." Guo Shandao.

Listening to Guo Shan's words, Empress Eldest Sun was stunned. Then he said: "Didn't the emperor punish Du He and let him compensate your subordinates for the cost of the decoction?" ”

Guo Shan wanted to vomit blood, and said very unhappily: "Don't hide it from my mother, Guo Shan doesn't care about the few hundred dollars." My Guo Mansion gives a year-end bonus to the diligent subordinates every year, and there are hundreds of dollars. ”

This sentence is very presumptuous and complacent, and Chang'an City can make such a big deal to his subordinates.

Empress Changsun's face darkened: "Your mansion is really rich, it just so happens that Your Majesty has recently been worried about the state's disaster relief silver"

Guo Shan's face turned green with fright, his tone immediately softened, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang, after the ministers gave the subordinates a year-end bonus, there will be no extra money in the house." ”

Empress Eldest Sun snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Then do you still think that the few hundred dollars given by Du He are less?" ”

Guo Shanyi hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "It's a lot, but it's not much."

"If only you had too little." Empress Eldest Sun squinted, lay on the chair and said, "Actually, you think that Du He gave little money, and others think that the emperor punished you too lightly." As an official of the imperial court ordered by the emperor, he had a big fight with a gentleman in Yibin Building. Du He is just that, he has no official position after all. But what about you? You are eating the money given by the court, and you are carrying the official seal given to you by the court. It's just that he doesn't set up a good image for the court, he shouldn't be, and when he beat someone at the end, he said that he was the Xielulang appointed by the emperor. You don't think you have lost enough face, so you have to throw the face of the emperor and the court into the Yibin Building. According to my intentions, it is light to dismiss your officials directly. If you cut off your head, you will not be able to restore the image of the court in the hearts of the people. ”

Guo Shan blushed shyly, and held back for a long time before he said weakly: "The minister never wanted to embarrass the court, it was my family's subordinates who told me about Xielulang when they left." That's because the people are ignorant and don't know the rules of the court. ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sneer: "At this time, you pushed the blame on your subordinates? ”

Guo Shan was very aggrieved, he really didn't shirk his responsibility, he was indeed a subordinate who pouted and showed off his identity as an official of the imperial court upstairs in Yibin.

"The minister didn't say a word of lie, besides, a mere eight-grade official, should I show it off?" Guo Shanxi explained.

Empress Eldest Sun snorted and stopped talking.

Guo Shan suddenly felt that the north wind was rising and the snow was drifting, and he glanced at the eldest grandson queen with a cold light in her eyes, Guo Shan knew that she had said the wrong thing again.

"The minister is not a small official, the minister" Guo Shan said 'hey', lowered his head and simply stopped talking.

"Put away your little grievances, and honestly think about how to do things in Taichang Temple. You are the person who asked the emperor to canonize in this palace, and no one else in this palace can control it, but this palace can't control you if you don't believe it. Empress Eldest Sun snorted.

Guo Shanneng said anything, so he had to accept his fate.

After complaining here, it's time to shoot the ass of Empress Changsun.

"Mother, it's a coincidence. The minister just made a snack today, thinking about when to send it to the palace for Niangniang to taste, but Qiaoniang came. After speaking, he took out the cage drawer and took out the moon cake: "This cake is called a moon cake, it is not delicious but it is delicious, Niang Niang tasted it?" ”

Li Xueyan hurriedly stepped forward to pass the plate and handed it to Empress Changsun.

Glancing at Guo Shan, Empress Eldest Sun took a piece of mooncake from the plate and glanced at it.

"You have flowers carved on this cake?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Guo Shan hurriedly said: "When the minister made the cake, he first made the mold, and finally put the cake into the mold and pressed it, and then took it out to become this pattern. There's nothing else to pay attention to, just look good. ”

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Guo Shan, and then put the moon cake in her mouth and took a bite.

"The filling of the moon cake is based on personal taste, and the moon cake filled by the mother has walnuts, and there is no sugar in it; Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon seed, and it is appropriate to take it. ”

He immediately brought out the hawthorn wine and said, "This wine was given by a friend, and it is a drink." It is sour and delicious, just right for the mother. ”

Guo Shan felt that he was like a salesman in later generations, and tried his best to praise his goods.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun was extremely satisfied with Guo Shan's contribution, but she was amazed. Especially hawthorn wine, which is more loved by her. This hawthorn wine is already delicious, at least compared to the shoddy water, I don't know how much better it tastes.

"Is this mooncake easy to preserve?" Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows and asked.

Guo Shan was stunned and said, "Compared with some foods, this is indeed easy to preserve." The main problem is the raw materials, if the raw materials are properly blended and stored properly enough, they should be able to be stored for about a month or two without affecting the taste. ”

"Forget about the taste." Empress Eldest Sun sneered, suddenly looked at Guo Shanxiao and asked, "I ate this moon cake and found that it is quite filling, and it tastes good and is convenient to eat." You say, is such a thing suitable for military rations during an expedition of a large army? ”

Guo Shan gasped and looked at Empress Eldest Sun like a ghost. I thought to myself, what kind of head are you, eating mooncakes can also lead to war.

"Yes, yes?" Guo Shan was not sure, but he emptied his mind and remembered that there seemed to be an allusion to the use of moon cakes to fill military rations. But that was seen in the later world, and I don't know if it can be properly used in reality.

According to Guo Shan's idea, it is also feasible to use moon cakes to fill military rations. But if you eat too many mooncakes, can you really not eat a bad stomach?

But when he thought of the current living conditions, the living conditions of the army during the march and war, Guo Shan thought that the moon cakes were much healthier than what they ate again.

"Since you can make military rations, why don't you play the imperial court? At present, there are still many places where the barbarians in the four directions have not been pacified, and the soldiers have traveled long distances to conquer and mostly suffer losses in terms of grain and grass. Because you can't bury the pot to cook, do you know how many of them are hungry? Empress Eldest Sun asked sharply.

Guo Shan was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, and looked at this lady who turned her face and didn't recognize people. Thinking to myself, is it easy for me to make a sycophant? Besides, who would associate moon cakes with military rations? Except for your eldest grandson, I'm afraid that few people in the world will think about this problem, right?

But Guo Shan didn't dare to talk back, so he could only admit his mistake with sincerity: "Minister, I'll write a recital when I go home."

"When you hand it over to Zhongshu Province, how long will it take for it to be handed over to the emperor? You can write a recital now, and bring it to Your Majesty when you return to the palace. "The eldest grandson queen said.

Guo Shan was embarrassed, hurriedly took the pen and paper from the maid next to him, gritted his teeth and thought about how to write.

After thinking about it, I can only write out the benefits of moon cakes.

Although mooncakes are used as snacks, they are the best choice to satisfy hunger at critical moments. When soldiers eat, they need to bury the pot and make rice, which saves combat time. When the commander of the army drives straight into the surprise attack on the enemy, there is no need for others to escort the grain and grass, just carry a few for each person.

"The purpose of mooncake is not only that, is it easier to transport than grain and grass?" Empress Eldest Sun rolled her eyes and reminded.

Guo Shan suddenly picked up the pen and added a few more.

Nervously, he handed the recital that was not written on the chapter to the eldest grandson queen to look at it, and finally let the eldest breathe a sigh of relief after the eldest grandson queen nodded.

"Look, isn't it better to use your talents to share your Majesty's worries than to mess around with others?" The eldest grandson queen said.

Yes, his fight with Du He was regarded as nonsense at the eldest grandson queen.

"Wait, if the effect of moon cakes is really so great, the emperor may have to summon you at that time. Go back at night and ponder how to make this mooncake better, and think about how much it costs to make a mooncake. If you think about it well, if you can get rid of the drawbacks in military rations, maybe the emperor will remove the word 'test' from your trial officer. However, if I hear about you beating the second son of Lai Guogong again in the future, hum"

Guo Shan immediately said: "What if Du He comes to beat me?" ”

"Then you'll have to endure it." Empress Changsun was unreasonable and said: "How much merit did Lai Guogong make for the court during his lifetime, and how many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty owe him affection." Don't say that those civil and military officials, that is, me and the emperor, the entire court, without him Lai Guogong, can there be the current Tang Dynasty? So, you have to endure him beating you. This palace said that others in this palace can't manage it and don't want to take care of it, but since you are the person who was given to the emperor by this palace, this palace will not allow you to make mistakes. ”

"I know." Guo Shan wiped his cold sweat and said.

"Huh? Talking to Hongu for a while makes you so uncomfortable? Empress Eldest Sun squinted at Guo Shan.

Guo Shan was taken aback, and hurriedly smiled: "Minister, I feel very happy." ”

"If you don't feel well, go out and get some air. Go outside and think about it, what Hongu said is right. After the eldest grandson queen finished speaking, she took the hawthorn wine from the maid's hand.

Guo Shan hesitated, and then quit the deck. wiped the cold sweat and asked Li Xueyan, who was on the deck with him, "Why did Niangniang think of going out of the palace to play?" ”

"I heard that Mrs. Jie of the right servant is sick, and the mother went to the house to visit."

Guo Shan listened to Li Xueyan's explanation, and was slightly stunned, and then asked again: "Lord Li Jing's wife is sick?" Is it serious? ”

"It's not heavy." Li Xueyan asked Guo Shan curiously: "Big brother, why are you sweating so much?" ”

Guo Shan wiped his face and explained: "It's too stuffy in the house, don't you notice that the wind is blowing outside is cooler?" ”

He added: "There are many rich and noble families on this river, and the children of the gentlemen are playing and playing. Why don't you prepare more guards when you leave the palace? The emperor is also relieved of her? ”

muttered in his mouth, but in fact, he was dissatisfied with the eldest grandson queen and ran out of the palace for three days. You said you can run, and every time you catch yourself, you will be reprimanded.

However, Guo Shan also has a mind about moon cakes.

With the reminder of Empress Changsun, he also realized that if the moon cake could really solve the problem of military rations needed for the march, it would really be a great credit. However, if you really use moon cakes as military rations, how many moon cakes do you need? Levy it on the people? Can that be done? Let's not talk about whether the people will do it, just talk about the raw materials used by the people, Guo Shan is a little worried.

The food issue once caused controversy in later generations, don't make a Sanlu moon cake as controversial as Sanlu milk powder in Datang. When the time comes, the army eats the bad mooncakes that have been requisitioned and marches collectively to have diarrhea, and at that time the fun will be great.

I was thinking about something, and suddenly the bow of the boat shook, and a maid next to me shouted with angry eyes: "Bold, doesn't the pleasure boat have long eyes?" ”

Guo Shan's body stumbled and almost fell into the river from the boat, and when he looked up, he found that it was Du He who hit the Niangniang painting boat.

said that it was Du He, but there was an eldest grandson Chong next to him.
