The sunny autumn morning is also a day of rest, and it is rare for Aiqing to get a good night's sleep. 【Reading.com】

However, before dawn, he got up to wash and change his clothes.

Waiting beside him was Xiao Dezi Xuan'er and several other palace maids, waiting for the neat white jade hair crown, Aiqing recruited An Ping, and An Ping was still holding a box full of folds in his hand.

"Your Majesty, let's watch it after breakfast." Although Anping was ordered to come, he couldn't help but persuade.

"Out of the way, eat and watch." Aiqing smiled slightly, "I'm going to be with Rui in a while...... General Jing and the others are going hunting together."

"Yes."

Anping opened the box of Jin Si Nanmu here, and Xiao Dezi was on the imperial case, and there were a lot of meals in the morning, which were divided into four categories: porridge, noodles, meat and pastries.

Anping once saw it, and said in amazement, "The porridge alone is divided into Xiliang rice, rice and corn, and each one is served in a large pot, and the emperor wants to eat it, but it is just a small spoonful scooped out of it, so do you want to take the rest back and throw it away?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Xiao Dezi has long been accustomed to this kind of grand imperial banquet, and he feels that Anping is a little rare and strange.

But Anping continued, "It's a pity that this pot of porridge can feed a poor family."

Aiqing listened, his heart was very uncomfortable, he was used to eating and drinking since he was a child, and he really didn't care about the extravagant expenses here, so he immediately ordered the imperial dining room to eat frugally, but he didn't want the Internal Affairs Office and the Prime Minister's Mansion to go out together, kneeling and begging him to take back his life

"Your Majesty, you are out of kindness, but the specifications of this imperial meal are all set by the ancestors, and you are violating the ancestral system by doing so."

Jia Peng even said, "When the Emperor Taishang was on the throne, he always did this, and he didn't feel anything wrong."

If Aiqing insists on doing so, he not only violates the ancestral system, but also accuses his father of extravagance and waste, which he can't afford.

Aiqing could only take back his fate against his will, saying that the emperor was powerful all over the world, but in fact, he couldn't even control what he ate, and he couldn't help but be depressed.

However, An Ping came up with an idea, the dishes should be twenty-four or twenty-four, but the portion was halved.

Although there are also regulations on the ration of the imperial dining room, but in doing so, at least to give the emperor a son, Jia Peng adopted Anping's suggestion.

Hearing that the prime minister was willing to back down, Aiqing also breathed a sigh of relief, and gave another edict, asking the imperial dining room to change the big pot for the small pot when preparing the dishes.

If he still can't finish the delicacies, he will reward them to the royal family and ministers, after all, it is a beautiful imperial meal, and it is a great honor to receive such a reward, so that everyone is very happy.

"This red rice porridge is so sweet." Aiqing looked at the notebook presented by the military department, and within a moment, he drank a bowl of porridge.

"Your Majesty, that's corn soup."

"Huh?" Aiqing put down the golden bowl in her hand, and when she saw it, it was indeed a golden and soft corn soup.

It is cooked in sweet corn kernel egg white soup with white sugar and fine salt, which is smooth and sweet. And in addition to heat and detoxification, especially to relieve boredom.

"Your Majesty, you can use some more pastries." An Ping just smiled and said. Not only today, but in recent days, the emperor has been eating absent-mindedly and sleeping unsteadily.

In the end, it's because of the war between Shengxia and Xia, although the soldiers were paid early in the morning, but the other party has strong troops at sea and is good at controlling big ships.

Dayan's army met with them twice, and ended in defeat.

Although the words on the recital have been written vaguely enough, there are absolutely no glaring sentences such as "our army is invincible to the other side", and only expresses the ambition that "victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and we will definitely win next time".

If you lose again next time, I am afraid that the opponent's arrogance will be greatly increased. Originally, Dayan's navy was in a weak position, and he was afraid that in the future, Dayan's soldiers would be left with repeated defeats

The emperor was calm as usual on the surface, and he would talk and laugh, but An Ping could see that he was very uneasy in his heart.

"If my father were here...... Once, he heard the emperor talk to himself so softly.

"I'm full, so I'll give you these." Aiqing smiled, got up, took the fold in her hand, and went to the study in the dormitory.

On the day of rest, he did not stay in the imperial study, but only stayed in Changchun Palace.

"What's wrong with the emperor?" Xiao Dezi couldn't understand those complicated things, he just thought he was in a bad mood.

"It's okay, you and Sister Xuan'er can eat together, I'll serve the emperor." An Ping said with a slight smile.

"Okay, I'll change you later." Xiao Dezi nodded, and he was already hungry for the eight treasures and jade food on the table.

Anping walked to the quiet and elegant study, and wanted to pass through a vermilion lacquer corridor hung with a light gauze veil, he couldn't help but think, the same brothers, the emperor worked day and night for state affairs, and those two were ......

Just yesterday, Tianyu pounced on him like a wolf, quickly stripped off his shirt, and wrote the word "Tianyu" on his left chest with a special cinnabar ink that was said to be a tribute from the Western Liang Kingdom and could not be washed off.

Tianchen wrote his name on his right chest. Are they going to split him in two? I also signed left and right

He later escaped from the "demon cave" by luck, and wanted to wash the humiliating handwriting on his chest, but he didn't expect that he really couldn't wash the ink. Thinking of this, he felt annoyed, and silently tightened his white collar.

It is said that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of which is different, which is really true

The emperor is frank and honest by nature, diligent and loves the people, and Prince Yonghe is capable of literature and martial arts, and is upright, how can these two twins be born with such a stubborn temperament

I'm afraid it won't work to reason with them, An Ping thought, should I ask General Jing for help? But he came to the palace to help General Jing, not to make trouble for him.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to give up, anyway, it was a knife to stretch out his head and a knife to shrink his head, he didn't believe that those two princes could still play a famous game?

For now, let's pay more attention to the emperor.

Anping knew that what made the emperor worried and upset was not only the defeat of the war. In the court, there is a fierce battle over which general should be sent to crusade against Shengxia's coalition forces. The excerpts of all kinds of recommendations or quarrels presented are almost full of imperial cases.

The autumn trees are silent, the ground is full of dead leaves, and the hunting grounds of the Imperial Garden are a rough and lonely scene.

However, this did not affect Aiqing's mood of riding and shooting, and the white horse he □□, "Jade Kirin", was a four-year-old Western Regions tribute horse that was tamed only last month, and was in his youth.

Accompanying him were Wei General Jing Tingrui, the president of the Imperial Forest Army, Pu Guanglu, and Qin Kui, a martial artist, as well as six deputy generals, in short, all of them were a group of military generals.

In the court, there has been a heated debate about who should be elected to take on the important task of crusading. This time, Aiqing suddenly took them to Mayuan to hunt, although no one mentioned the war, but everyone's nerves were tense.

Pu Guanglu, who is over 60 years old, is the most popular candidate in this election. He originally followed the Emperor Taishang to fight in all directions and made great contributions, but now he is still deaf and bright, strong and healthy, and even Jia Peng strongly recommends him.

I don't know if I'm nervous, Pu Guanglu is quite abnormal today, and he galloped down, but he harvested two mountain eagles and three pheasants, which is really pitiful.

Aiqing whipped the prancing horse and galloped like the wind, but in an hour's effort, he beat thirteen pheasants, four antelopes and three northern geese.

It's been a long time since I've been hunting and galloping so happily, Aiqing is very happy, Jing Tingrui has escorted him all the way, and his mind is not on hunting at all, but he has to fight twice as much as Pu Guanglu.

After a while, Aiqing instructed the imperial dining room to prepare to cook game, and to drink and eat with the generals.

"Qin Kui, it's still early, how about you come to perform archery?" Before the sun set, Aiqing sat under the pergola built by the palace people and asked Wu Zhuangyuan under the steps.

"The subordinates have poor skills, and they dare not make mistakes for fear of staining the eyes of the saints." There were so many soldiers present, Qin Kui did not immediately receive the order, but instead clenched his fists and said modestly, "Let's invite General Jing or General Pu to perform their skills."

"The minister is willing to ......" Pu Guanglu is on the list.

"No, since ancient times, the first question in martial arts has been archery, especially horse arrows, which are very important. I always wanted to witness the grand scene of the examination room, but unfortunately I was busy with government affairs that day and could not make the trip. However, I still heard that there is such a young man with a great physique and excellent martial arts, not to mention every shot, but also to wear Yang in a hundred steps. Now, you have lived up to expectations and come out on top, and your majestic and heroic posture is obvious to all, so you should stop being humble and pushing."

When Aiqing talked about his appearance, the other generals all smiled, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Qin Kui was born poor, he has been working hard since he was a child, and at the age of eleven, he helped people watch the garden and train horses, and he raised a good skill without a teacher.

When he was seventeen years old, he married a wife, and his father-in-law was a merchant who ran ancient trees, and he saw that he was the material for being a military attaché, so he took him with him and cultivated it carefully.

Now he is twenty-seven years old, has a pair of children, and has a harmonious family. Compared with those hot-tempered battlefield killers, he is a rare Confucian general.

"In that case, the subordinates will be ugly." Qin Kui bowed and said
