Chapter 15 Shang Shi Bureau

"Brother Huang, I don't know where our Shangshi Bureau is? The younger brother wants to go to the Shangshi Bureau to have a look. Li Yuanba put down the ginseng soup in his hand that had been drunk to the bottom, looked up at Li Shimin and asked.

"Fourth uncle, fourth uncle! It's so boring for me to stay here, why don't I accompany you to the Shangshi Bureau, and it just opens my eyes to see how the food in the mouth of the fourth uncle is made! ”

As soon as she heard that Li Yuanba was going to the Shangshi Bureau, the little girl Princess Gaoyang suddenly said excitedly.

In fact, this little girl is a drunkard, she doesn't mean to drink, she plans to take this opportunity to watch Li Yuanba's jokes. After all, in the eyes of Princess Gaoyang, this fourth uncle seems to be full of mystery, and it should be a very interesting thing to be able to see him embarrassed.

"Okay, since Gao Yang is going to follow, then I will also go to the Shangshi Bureau with you!"

After all, Li Shimin was worried that Li Yuanba would come up with some kind of moth, and what kind of wise saying of 'a gentleman is far away from cooking' had already been thrown to Java by him.

However, Li Shimin was still reluctant to go, because he went to the Shangshi Bureau as a dignified emperor, and he would definitely be heavily involved by the imperial historians.

But if you want to talk about impeachment, that's not it! You must know that Li Shimin is not a good man and a woman, which imperial history really dares to jump out and impeach him for any 'gentleman and distant cook' Yunyun, he just needs to find a reason to cut that imperial history!

Impeachment or something, that's not a big deal!

Li Shimin has no opinion here, of course Li Yuanba will not stop him, anyway, in his previous life, he was very interested in the Shang Food Bureau of the Tang Dynasty, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally has to study it carefully.

So he nodded and said, "Brother Huang, let's talk about the ugly words first, it's okay to follow, but you are only allowed to see and speak, otherwise you will wait to eat!" ”

"This ...... Well, I agreed! Seeing Li Yuanba nodding, Li Shimin thought for a while and agreed, he stood up directly and shouted outside the door: "Liu Sanshui!" ”

After less than half a minute, Liu Sanshui's slightly emaciated figure hurriedly appeared in front of Li Shimin.

"You go and make arrangements, I'm going to go to the Shangshi Bureau to have a look!" For this eunuch who was his favorite, Li Shimin did not have any cover-up, and directly gave an order.

"No!" Liu Sanshui replied respectfully, bowed and was about to exit the hall.

At this time, Li Yuanba had an idea and said: "Father-in-law Liu is slow! ”

Liu Sanshui's footsteps stopped, and he subconsciously looked at Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba ignored Liu Sanshui, but said to Li Shimin: "Brother Huang, in my opinion, it's better for you to change your clothes and go to the Shangshi Bureau!" After all, your identity is supreme in our Tang Dynasty, if you let the imperial historians know that you go to that kind of place, you can't be annoyed to death by them? Anyway, the people of the Shangshi Bureau have never seen the emperor in their lives, and they are not afraid that they will recognize you! ”

Before Li Shimin could speak, Princess Gaoyang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Fourth uncle, this attention is good!" So that the nasty royal historians can't say anything! ”

Li Shimin also thought that this method was good, so he nodded and asked Liu Sanshui to prepare. After all, not everyone can enter the Shangshi Bureau, and without the order from above, it would be a death to enter the Imperial Diet.

Therefore, there are some necessary preparations that still need to be made.

……

During the Tang Dynasty, it was the palace province that was in charge of all matters of royal life, and its subordinates included six bureaus: Shang Food Bureau, Shang Medicine Bureau, Shang Yi Bureau, Shang She Bureau, Shang Tby Bureau, and Shang Yuan Bureau.

The Shang Shi Bureau is the place in charge of the Imperial Palace's inner meals, in which the chief female official is Shang Shi, and there are Si Shan (under the Dian, Zhangshan), Si Yu (under the Dian, Zhang), Si Yao (under the Dianyao, Zhangyao), Si Yi (under the Dian, Zhang), and food doctors.

The Shangshi Bureau is located in the center of the south of this Daxing Palace, and is generally divided into two parts, the larger one on the right is the high-end kitchen, which is dedicated to cooking for Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the princes and concubines, while the small kitchen on the left is a place for the palace maids and eunuchs to cook.

The emperor's visit to the Shangshi Bureau is a major event, since ancient times, all dynasties have never heard of the emperor entering the Shangshi Bureau.

However, it is a pity that Li Shimin came here for a private visit this time, and all the way he relied on Liu Sanshui, the emperor's closest eunuch, to enter the Shangshi Bureau.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they entered the gate of the Shangshi Bureau, they saw several female officials sitting by the clear pool in the past sharpening knives, and the sharpening was not a kitchen knife for the kitchen, but a short-handled ox ear sharp knife.

Li Yuanba was suddenly startled, and said in his heart: "I'll wipe it, what is this going to do?" Could it be that these cooks from the Shangshi Bureau are going to rebel? ”

Seeing Li Yuanba and them walking in, at first, the female officials didn't care, but after seeing Liu Sanshui, who had just entered the Shangshi Bureau at the end, they hurriedly threw the long knife in their hands in fright.

They didn't run to the front to salute, but began to kowtow and apologize from afar, saying that they shouldn't have collided with Liu Gonggong Yunyun, and the female officials were only frightened when they saw Liu Sanshui, and they didn't know Li Shimin and the three of them at all.

This made Li Shimin, who was accustomed to the worship of hundreds of officials, a little unhappy, but thinking that he was going out on patrol in micro-service, he had to endure this breath.

It just so happened that Li Yuanba saw the slightest unhappiness on Li Shimin's face, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Just this urine, I am really spoiled by the civil and military officials!" ”

also observed Li Shimin's displeasure, in addition to Li Yuanba, there was also Liu Sanshui.

has been by Li Shimin's side for so many years, and Liu Sanshui is extremely familiar with every subtle movement of Li Shimin, so when he saw Li Shimin's right eyebrow gently raised, he knew that his master was a little unhappy.

So he hurriedly took two steps forward and scolded the female officials, "What are you guys doing?" Didn't you see a few adults coming to the Shangshi Bureau to inspect? Why don't you come and see you yet! ”

Hearing this, several female officials couldn't help but tremble! God, Gonggong Liu is a celebrity around the emperor, who can be photographed by him, and is called an adult, so it can't be the prince or the founding prince?

Thinking of this, several female officials glanced at each other, kowtowed again, and at the same time exclaimed: "The slave has seen a few adults, and I don't know how many adults are coming, and I ask a few adults to forgive me!" ”

"Ping...... Oh, all get up! The so-called ignorant is not guilty, I ...... We're just here to see, you don't have to worry about us! However, I'm curious, what are you doing here, looking at the knife you sharpened, it doesn't seem to be a knife for cooking? ”

After being kowtowed to several female officials, Li Shimin's anger calmed down, and he walked to the edge of the clear pool, pointed to the sharp knife that was placed on the stone platform and asked.

Originally, as Li Shimin, he was unable to approach outsiders with weapons around him, but first, he came to the Shangshi Bureau today without a guard; These two, naturally, because Li Shimin has been fighting for many years, and his own martial arts are also good, even if these female officials are all armed with blades, they are definitely not the opponents of this master.

So for approaching this seemingly lethal sharp knife, Li Shimin didn't care.

A female officer who was obviously the leader didn't dare to raise her head, so she lowered her head and replied softly:

"So that this adult knows that today is the seventh day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is Laba, in order to reward us palace maids and eunuchs for a year's hard work, the queen ordered someone to buy more than a dozen pigs. The slave was about to sharpen the knife and slaughter it, but she didn't expect to collide with a few adults, and ask a few adults to forgive their sins! ”
