Chapter 6: Soaring
I see, I see!
Qin Shao danced with his hands and couldn't help but say, "I finally understand!" ”
That plaque is a treasure.
It's just a pity that his father didn't recognize this, but the Zhou family saw its value.
The plaque is written by the king, and the king is ...... It is the later crown prince, the crown prince is very fond of the taste of the food here, so he left Mobao, and then he died unexplained, this person is the queen's own son, now there are rumors, all say that the crown prince is harmed by the empress, then there are two possibilities, one is, the empress killed her own son, there is no impermeable wall in this world, thus causing all kinds of rumors, the other possibility, that is, the crown prince really died suddenly, and when the empress ascended the throne, some people did not dare to come out in person to object, but they were unwilling, So he concocted these rumors to attack the empress, knock on the side, and shake the empress's legitimacy.
But what about the Empress...... How will the Empress retaliate?
Even a ninth-rate like Deng Jian knows that the more you hit someone, the more you have to show intimacy with the person being beaten. So as Wu Zetian, who is ruthless in history, but has infinite political wisdom, the only way for her to smash the rumors is to let the world know that she loves this son very much, and she loves him too much, since the empress loves the prince, how can she harm him?
It's a very simple logic.
So...... This plaque is of great use, if at this time, Qin Shaoyou hangs the plaque out, and there is still a sudden death of the prince in Luoyang City, which is full of rumors, I am afraid that it will cause a new round of discussion, if the empress learns the news, what will happen?
The first possibility is to reward such as a spring restaurant, because the prince likes to eat the food here, loves the house and Wuxia, as a loving mother, and misses her son, he will naturally give rich rewards, and others have seen it, oh, the prince likes to eat in the restaurant, His Majesty values it so much, it can be seen that His Majesty loves the prince.
Another possibility, that is, in order to completely shatter the rumors, and even the empress will personally arrive here to remember the deceased prince, she only needs to sit here, like the prince back then, looking at the words written by the prince himself, and eating the beautiful things that the prince ate back then, which is enough to show that the empress's love for flesh and blood.
So what about Ruchun Restaurant......
Qin Shaoyou burst into tears, she is about to develop, that is Wu Zetian, as long as she comes here and eats a bite of her own dishes, if her own food is delicious and pleases her, then ...... Soaring is just around the corner.
To put it bluntly, the plaque is just a tool for throwing bricks and attracting jade, hang the archway out, then it is a political show to smash the rumors of the traitorous party, the protagonist is Wu Zetian, Ruchun Restaurant is the stage, and himself, although he is just a passerby, but it doesn't matter, such a big scene, even if it is just a lunch box, Qin Shaoyou is very satisfied.
He is a philistine, no, he is just a small ant at the bottom of this empire, lofty ideals, hanging pots to help the world, it is too far away from him, all he can do is to pick a little leak from the fingers of these nobles, he can ensure that he is prosperous and rich, worry-free about food and clothing, and be a shameful gentleman. But...... Even if it was shameful, Qin Shaoyou liked it very much.
Moreover, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you have to grab this woman's stomach, and with your own cooking skills, if you spend some effort to let Wu Zetian eat this delicious food like a spring restaurant, maybe ......
Qin Shaoyou's eyes had already begun to sprout stars.
He didn't bother to pay attention to Deng Jian's thing, is he very dirty? When I am promoted and rich, I will give you a little more color.
"Qin Shou, Qin Shou...... Quick, find out the plaque, wipe it down, hang it out, and hang it on the door immediately, and the glory and wealth are in front of you, haha......"
A plaque has been hung on the door of Ruchun Restaurant, Qin Shaoyou stood under the door, his heart was full of emotion, as if all of a sudden, with this prince's Mobao, the entire Ruchun Restaurant was full of brilliance.
It's just that Deng Jian, that guy, still refuses to leave, still licking the plate, ruining the scenery, Qin Shaoyou shook his head, and couldn't help this guy's disgusting appearance.
In the past few days, business has not improved, this is a matter of course, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Qin Shaoyou is not in a hurry. As for the plaque outside, Qin Shaoyou is not worried about the palace being kept in the dark, he is a person who has read books, of course he knows that in history, Wu Zetian ascended the throne and spread his eyes and ears in Luoyang, in order to consolidate his rule. Presumably, within a few days, a spy will report the news to the palace.
The popularity of the Zhou family is ruined, this time it is still the principal Liu Yang, he is furious, originally the Zhou family got this plaque, is hoping to use this to attract the empress to come, and then the lord of the Zhou family personally cooked, came up with unique skills, as long as he can get the favor of the empress, if there is a chance, the edict goes straight into the imperial kitchen, can be a kitchen official, the Zhou family can make great benefits from it, now Qin Shaoyou will hang the plaque out, naturally attracted Liu Yang's attention, he came angrily, split his head and covered his face and scolded angrily: "The surname Qin, If you have hung up a plaque, this plaque will be of no use to us, and the money you owe us on credit should be returned immediately, otherwise you will not be able to eat and walk around. Let's go to the official. ”
Qin Shaoyou glanced at him lightly and said, "The plaque is mine, I can hang it if I want, what do you have to do with it?" ”
"You, you ......" Liu Yang was angry, he came with two men, so he was murderous and ready to start.
At this time, someone snapped and slapped the case, but it was Deng Jian, the guy who ate white food.
Deng Jian squinted his eyes and shouted: "Who dares to make trouble here, are you tired of living?" This is the place where the uncle eats white food, and he hurt Qin Gongzi, whose food do I eat? Get out of here now, or you won't die. ”
Liu Yang saw that this Deng Jian was like a rainbow, but he was frightened, and couldn't help but say, "Who are you?" ”
"The surname is Deng Mingjian."
A man behind him hurriedly stepped forward and whispered something in Liu Yang's ear, Liu Yang's face turned blue and red, and finally glared at Qin Shaoyou unwillingly: "We'll wait and see." ”
"Wait and see, just wait and see." Qin Shaoyou didn't take him seriously, but his eyes fell on Deng Jianjian, as if he found that this guy seemed to have a hint of brilliance, so his eyes narrowed, and he began to make calculations in his heart.
Deng Jian glared at him back: "Look at it, I'm hungry again, eat!" ”
"There is no rice, there is porridge." Qin Shaoyou propped his head and bargained.
"That's five bowls."
Qin Shaoyou's body was shocked, and he scolded in his heart: "You scumbag." ”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qiyun Hall of Hebi Palace.
In the dormitory, the cloud top sandalwood is made of beams, the lights on the crystal jade are rising, in the center of the dormitory, the silk treasure Luo tent is embroidered with beads and silver thread begonia flowers, and the breeze outside the hall moves, so the curtains are raised. Behind this purple curtain, there is a faint figure, she crouches behind the golden case, and by the rising lights on the case, she is reading something. The golden phoenix crown can be faintly seen on the head, and every time he writes on the case, the fragrant shoulder moves slightly, and the tassel on the crown trembles slightly.
She had been sitting here for a long time, for an hour, and she had remained in this position.
Outside the curtain, there is a pretty figure, she is the empress's side of Shangguan Wan'er, she is wearing a red female official uniform, standing still, there is no expression on the pretty face, just like an ice sculpture, always waiting for the empress's orders.
Shangguan Wan'er, as usual, waited for His Majesty's review and review, His Majesty has been in a bad mood recently, Shangguan Wan'er has always known His Majesty's thoughts, and now Her Majesty's accession to the throne is not long ago, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, although hundreds of officials praise her, but behind this praise, there is a huge crisis.
First, His Majesty's surname is Wu and not Li.
Second, Her Majesty is a woman.
In the Tang Dynasty, women's status was not low, but since Yao Shun, there has never been a woman as the Son of Heaven.
A few days ago, Taifu Temple asked to investigate the cause of the death of the former crown prince Li Hong.
A month ago, the doctor was playing, and there was a hen in Shu, so the state and county were alarmed, rumors arose, and some people criticized it, thinking that this was the imbalance of yin and yang, and the reason why the universe was reversed.
These seemingly ordinary news, but they seemed to be like a nightmare, haunting the Empress's heart.
After Shangguan Wan'er saw the curtain, her slightly tired figure, her thoughts were already drifting away, and she couldn't help but speculate about who was manipulating the person behind the dark wave.
"Ahem......"
A light cough came from behind the curtain.
Shangguan Wan'er retracted her thoughts, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, bent down and saluted, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
The person behind the curtain sat still, for a long time, she seemed to knock the table with her fingers, making a slight noise, and then said lazily: "Hengzhou Thorn Shi Peizhen, can you ask?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Yousi has already tried it, and it has been confirmed that it is a false accusation." ”
The curtain fell silent after that.
She seemed to mention what was written in the red pen, but after half a pillar of incense, she suddenly said, "But I have already issued an order to ask." ”
A short sentence, the sound is like a filament, but it carries a chill to the bone.
Although he took the wrong person and found out the truth, since he had been tortured and reinstated, who could guarantee that he would not harbor resentment?
So the person behind the curtain said slowly: "You come to make the decree, let Suo Yuanli handle this matter, don't leave any troubles." ”
Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly in her heart, but her pretty face still didn't show her expression, she just bent down and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”
"There is another thing, in Luoyang City, there is a Ruchun Restaurant, Hong'er once had dinner there, and he loves the wine and food there, and he also left Mobao, this matter, inquire about it."
Shangguan Wan'er was like a puppet, expressionless, and still bent down: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
