Chapter 344: Dinner

(Thank you for the truth of the passing of history, home payment, and 18991899 support, thank you!) )

Yi Feng finished reading the last official document, put down his pen, and looked at the time, the sky was already dark, night was falling, and it was almost time for dinner. He moved his stiff neck a few times from side to side, walked out of the study and looked in the direction of Merlin, and suddenly remembered Yuwen Yubo in his heart.

Since Yuwen Yubo climbed over the wall and entered the mansion by him, he placed her in the hospital in Merlin, but he didn't go a few times, Yuwen Yubo is also very low-key, and after living in Merlin, he also changed his usual habits, and he didn't go out of the door all day long, even if it was other places in the mansion. After listening to the report of the maids arranged for her, Yi Feng had to admit that it was not easy, and also believed that she did not just run away from home in a moment's anger.

Yi Feng felt a little apologetic, in front of the emperor, he didn't fight for her, and lightly compromised and agreed to send her back to Princess Guangping's mansion.

He wanted to find a chance to make amends, and after thinking about it, he walked over to Merlin alone. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Yuwen Yubo raised his head and looked at him calmly.

"Have you had dinner?"

Yuwen Yubo shook his head: "Not yet." Yi Feng said: "I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll invite you to eat it together." ”

Yuwen Yubo shook his head and said, "No, I don't have an appetite and don't want to eat." Yi Feng didn't expect her to refuse so simply, he was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "People are iron rice and steel, if you don't eat a meal, you can't get hungry, no matter what your appetite is, you still have to eat something." ”

Yuwen Yubo said very politely: "Thank you, but I really don't want to eat it." Yi Feng simply walked over to the mat next to her and sat down, "Do you already know?" ”

Yuwen Yubo suddenly smiled: "Yes." I've packed my bags and I'm waiting to say goodbye to you. "Even so. Then this meal should be eaten even more, even if it is a farewell dinner. Yi Feng was still thinking about finding an opportunity to tell her about sending her back when she was eating. As a result, she already knew about it, and he felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden. But suddenly he realized that he invited her to dine with him, in fact, it was not all just to inform her of this matter, he was actually very willing to have this dinner with her in his heart, maybe her special and free and easy, let him inadvertently always separate her from the women of this era, and treat her as a self-reliant woman in the future.

Hearing Yi Feng say this, Yuwen Yubo tilted his head sideways and thought about it. "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, but this meal has to be decided by me, I don't want to eat in this palace, you have to invite me to eat outside, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the capital, called White Horse Restaurant, which is very novel and unique, their dishes are delicious, and the wine is abundant. I'm going there to eat. ”

Yi Feng chuckled, this new White Horse Restaurant in Beijing is the industry under his name, and it is the semicolon of Huaihuang White Horse Restaurant in Beijing. As soon as this restaurant opened in Jingshi, it immediately adopted a new business philosophy and model, as well as a wide range of dishes and a variety of wines. instantly swept the Jingshi, and now I want to eat at the White Horse Restaurant. Seats must be reserved at least three days in advance, and the seats in the private rooms must be booked. It was all booked out ten days in advance. However, Yuwen Yubo wants to go to the White Horse Restaurant to eat, but it is difficult for Yi Feng, Yi Feng is the boss, no matter how full it is, he can also have a place at any time, and there is a special large private room on the top floor of the White Horse Restaurant that is reserved for him.

"Of course there is no problem, the best box, the best dishes and wine, whatever you want to eat, you can order it, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the wine and delicacies, the sky and the ground and the water are all swimming at will."

Hearing Yi Feng say so boldly, Yuwen Yubo was in a much better mood, "Who in Beijing doesn't know that this White Horse Restaurant is your King Zhao's property, these are not a piece of cake for you, why bother talking about such a hemorrhage." I've been here for a few days, I've heard that the roast chicken, roast duck, steamed goose in the White Horse Restaurant are delicious, as well as his family's various stir-fried dishes, plus what kind of hot pot is now particularly popular, and I want to pay for it in the past. ”

"Not to mention roast chicken, roast duck and steamed goose, there are many specialties in the restaurant, roasted whole sheep, braised bear's paw, sweet and sour hump stewed whale and swan, you can order it casually."

Yuwen Yubo was amused by his appearance of a country tyrant who got rich, and said: "I'm not interested in the eight treasures like hump, but I'm quite interested in those small fried hot pots or something." You wait for me to get down, and I'll go and change my clothes. ”

She got up and walked away, walked a few steps, and then turned back and said, "Don't put on your king's guard of honor for a while, and don't hug each other for a while, and change your royal python robe and thirteen golden belts, just change into a round-necked robe and black toe boots to make an ordinary scholar's attire." Yi Feng put down the identity of King Zhao and showed favor like this, and a glimmer of light penetrated into the haze of Jiaoyu Wen Yubo's heart for days, and she felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.

Yi Feng went back and changed out of the python robe and gold belt on his body, as she said, he changed into a black Luo gauze head, put on a white round-necked robe, a pair of black leather boots under his feet, a cowhide belt around his waist, and a long sword on his waist like the people of the time. He also called the flag guards on duty, asked them to change into civilian clothes, asked them to prepare an ordinary carriage, and ordered them to follow them near his left and right after leaving the house in a while, and did not have to follow closely. Yi Fengzhong walked into Meilin, and when he looked up through the branches and leaves of the plum tree, he saw that Yuwen Yubo had actually changed into a set of clothes that were exactly the same as him, and when he saw him, he immediately hugged his fists and arched his hands, "Yuwen Tao has seen Brother Lingyun." ”

Yi Feng nodded, "Now you don't have to go over the wall anymore." The two walked through the side door, and an ordinary carriage had stopped there, but it was Zhang Zhongjian who drove the car.

Yuwen Yubo jumped directly into the carriage, and Yi Feng said: "Otherwise, I'll call another car, and I'll take another one." ”

Yuwen Yubo didn't hesitate, and said with a smile: "I'm Yuwen Tao now, why do two men have to call a car again, just take one out of the car." ”

Yi Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, there is a difference between men and women. ”

"Hey, I don't have an opinion, what are you afraid of as a big man, come up."

Yi Feng smiled and boarded the carriage according to her wishes and sat in the carriage. The White Horse Restaurant was built in the square where the Yifeng Palace's mansion was located, so although it was already dark. The gates are closed, but there is a curfew to prohibit pedestrians from entering the streets at night. However, walking around the workshop is generally not prohibited. Many people who come to eat at White Horse Restaurant come early, and they are not afraid after dark. As long as you register in the restaurant, you can still drink, listen to songs and dance until dawn, and even have customers resting behind the restaurant when you are sleepy. Daxing City is sometimes so peculiar, as soon as it gets dark, the street drums sound, the city gates and square gates are immediately closed, pedestrians are strictly prohibited from walking on the streets, and the streets are silent and dark. But in the closed squares, the lights are bright. Many of the nightclubs that open in the square are just the time to live.

There were two people sitting in the small carriage, Yi Feng was still thinking about how to comfort her, but Yuwen Yubo opened his mouth first, "I forgot to congratulate you, the new Namei concubine has been promoted to vice minister, and seeing that she is going to marry the princess's wife in two days, everything is really going well, everything is going well." ”

Yi Feng said: "What a new Namei concubine, it's just a pit." He sighed. For the red whisk, he has always been vigilant, so even if he was put on a table by Yang Su, in the end, the emperor himself said that he would let him accept the red whisk like this. But Yi Feng really didn't want to. After Hongfu entered the palace, although Yi Feng let him stay, he still did not publicly admit the identity of Hongfu's concubine. He hadn't been to her house once, and had just left her there as if she were in the air. But I have to say. Hongfu's scheming is very deep, although Yi Feng ignores her. didn't give her a name, just let her hang there in such an unclear way, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction on the surface, she used her dexterity to take advantage of the relationship with Princess Lechang, and soon got along with Chen Wan, and through the relationship between the Yue State Mansion and the King of Jin, she also got along very well with Xiao Sumei. Even to those maids and servants in the house, she was also extremely generous, and within a few days, she was in a good relationship up and down the house. Yi Feng looked at these in his eyes, and he didn't bother to care about it for the time being, in short, he just didn't give her a chance to get close to him.

The Red Whisk Girl is a good woman, with excellent appearance and intelligence, but in Yi Feng's eyes, she is an eyeliner of Yang Su, and he is quite jealous of Yang Su. In Yi Feng's eyes, Yang Su is equivalent to a king cobra, such a guy really has to be careful to touch, he is not a snake dancer, one will be poisoned by Yang Su if he is not careful, and even if he is swallowed, there is not even a little scum left.

Yang Su is like a cobra, yin and ruthless, attacking quickly, and he often hides in dark corners, usually inconspicuous, but when he sees the opportunity, he can give you a fatal blow. However, Yi Feng really admires Yang Su's ability, leading troops to fight, or governing the place, or even taking charge of the government, there is nothing difficult for him, no matter what kind of thing comes to his hands, it can always be solved quickly. No wonder Yang Jian is such a picky person, but he trusts him so much, and quickly rises all the way to the position of prime minister, and now he has even become the actual prime minister.

The official system of the Great Sui Dynasty, with the three provinces and six ministries as the core, the three divisions became honorary titles, and the three dukes did not have the power to open the government, but just sat down with the Son of Heaven and became royal advisers. The prime minister of the imperial court was transferred to the three governors of the three provinces. However, because among the three provinces, only Shangshu Province has everything in general, nothing is unified, and it is an executive agency, so in fact, the three provinces are dominant. It is also for this reason that the prefect of the three provinces, Shangshu Ling, has been vacant, and the left and right servants are the chief officials of Shangshu Province, so the original three prime ministers have become four prime ministers. And because Shangshu saves all things and has nothing to do, so that the two decision-making and deliberation departments of the Men and the Inner History, but on the contrary, there is a tendency to become the same as the three divisions and the three princes to become the advisers of the Son of Heaven.

In the past, Gao Gong has been serving as the left servant for more than ten years, and he has won the emperor's heart, so the power of Shangshu Province is getting bigger and bigger, and Gao Gong, the left servant shot, has actually become the prime minister of the imperial court, and the right servant shot is equivalent to the second minister, and Na Yan and Nei Shi Ling have become deputy ministers.

For example, today's son issued a holy decree to let Gao Gong go to Shangshu Province to deal with it as soon as he was three days old, and there was no need for him to ask about non-military affairs, and he would handle important military affairs without saying anything, so that Gao Gong, the former prime minister, was suddenly hung high. Although Gao Gong still came to Shangshu Province every three days according to the order, he could only drink tea. The power of Shangshu Province was taken over by Yang Su, Yang Su did it very beautifully, and he did not mess up as Gao Gong secretly expected, he did not leak, and even received Yang Jian's strong praise in the disposal of several things. Nayan Suvi of Menxia Province. He was the founding father of the Great Sui, and in his early years, he once served as the right servant of Shangshu. When he was most sacred, he held more than a dozen important positions, and even Gao Gong could barely suppress him. Later, after all, Gao Gong borrowed a case of Su Wei's son. came up with a case of Su Wei's party, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and dismissed Su Wei from office. However, Su Wei's ability is still very strong, and in the end, the emperor has no choice but to use him again, and now he has become the governor of one of the three provinces.

Gao Gong was deposed as prime minister, and Su Wei was also secretly happy, he felt that a great opportunity had come, and wanted to attack the position of prime minister, and wanted to regain the position of Shangshu's right servant. even wants to impact the position of prime minister. But his happiness soon turned into disappointment, Yang Su, his former subordinate, had a stricter control of Shangshu Province than in the Gao Gong era, and Shangshu Province even encroached on the rights of more Menxia Province and Neishi Province, and the two prime ministers of Neishi Ling and Nayan became more and more unworthy of their names.

Su Wei was unwilling, he wanted to unite with Nei Shi Ling to attack Yang Su, but unfortunately Yang Zhao, the new son of Nei Shi Ling, was unreliable. Inner history Ling Yang Zhao. The eldest son of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, is a young man who is only sixteen years old, raised in the palace for the Son of Heaven, and has the most benevolent personality. Now he is the governor of the Ministry of Internal History, presiding over the Ministry of Internal History. The Ministry of Internal History was originally called Zhongshu Province, after Yang Jian established the country. Because his father's name was Yang Zhong, he avoided changing the Zhongshu Province to the Inner History Province. The Chinese book order was changed to the internal history order. However, although the name has been changed, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Internal History are still the same. It is the highest body that adheres to the will of the monarch, is in charge of confidential information, and issues the emperor's edicts and central decrees. The most important duty of the Ministry of Internal History is to issue an edict, so the Inner History Order has the important right to participate in decision-making and become the prime minister. But Yang Zhao became the internal history order, but he did not play a real role. More often, there is no objection to the emperor's will, and whatever the emperor says, he will let his subordinates draw up an edict. Looking for him to discuss against the infringement of Shangshu Province and against Yang Su, he only knew how to do this, how to do it, Su Wei, who listened to it, almost wanted to jump up and slap him twice, so after a few times, he also understood that Yang Su was originally a party of King Jin, and Yang Zhao was the eldest of King Jin, he had no reason to follow himself to fight against Yang Su, and this Yang Zhao was only sixteen, and it was different from the Wei King Yang Shuang and the current Han King Yang Lin as powerful, and finally his heart that rose into flames couldn't help but cold again, For Yang Su to take power, he can only accept it.

Yang Su is also very satisfied with the current situation in the court, Gao Gong still occupies the position of the left servant, but he is already just a deaf man's ear, and he is furnished. Even Gao Gong's dispatch as the chief quartermaster logistics dispatcher of the Northern Northern Expedition is still retained, but in fact, all matters in this regard have been taken over by the newly appointed Shangshu Niu Hong of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Shu of the Military Department, and Weishi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Nayan Su Wei is a father and an important minister, he used to be his boss, and he also wanted to fight for the opportunity this time, but Yang Su used several affairs of the court to give Su Wei a dismount, and Su Wei immediately retreated. Yang Su successfully stabilized the situation, and also maintained the situation of the monopoly of Shangshu Province, which made him even a little proud, in the past, Shangshu Province was weighted, but there was the right and left servant shooting power, and now Gao Gong just saved a name, this Shangshu Province is equivalent to him alone has the final say, and his right as a right servant shooter is even greater than when Gao Gong was the left servant shooter.

But today, the emperor suddenly decreed that King Zhao was only under the governor of the three provinces with the title of Sikong plus the governor of the government, as the deputy minister, and was temporarily dispatched. This will immediately woke him up, and King Zhao's visit to the prime minister, even if it was only a temporary deputy minister, still made him break out in a cold sweat. In particular, he became more and more worried about this temporary position of political counselor. If the emperor let King Zhao serve as the internal history order, or even Nayan, he would not be so worried. In that way, although Yang Lin became the prime minister, it would not change the pattern of the past. But the emperor has set up a new temporary deputy minister to participate in political affairs, which is worrying. In this way, it is equivalent to setting a precedent that the prime minister is no longer just the governor of three provinces, and no longer just four prime ministers. The emperor can worship the prime minister at any time according to his own needs, whether it is temporary or not, which is a heavy impact on the current power structure of the DPRK and China. Yang Su is very clear that the system of three provinces and six ministries is not unique to the current emperor, but is actually a set of changing official positions, the core of which is the prime minister system. The prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, the three dukes of the Han Dynasty, and the eight dukes of the Jin Dynasty, the prime minister system not only changed, from the single minister to the group minister, and the governors of the three provinces replaced the three dukes as the prime minister, but in fact they were just emperors, and they were only changed according to their needs. This kind of change, in the final analysis, is often changed by people.

The emperor suddenly changed the system of the governors of the three provinces since the founding of the country to the prime minister, and what did he mean by this temporary vice minister for political affairs? What he was most worried about was that the emperor not only had thoughts about him as the prime minister, but simply had ideas about the current three-province system. But either way, it will have a strong impact on his current position.

He was worried and speculated, but on the other hand, he was quite friendly to the emperor's newly appointed governor Zhao Wang, and he took the initiative to go to the governor's office in the imperial capital province to find Yi Feng and discuss with him about the military medical plan. He knows very well that no matter whether the emperor really has an idea about him or not, but at this time, it is always not wrong to be cautious and low-key, a bad, high-minded yesterday is his tomorrow.

Yi Feng and Yuwen Yubo were extremely happy to eat dinner, the business model of the White Horse Hotel was completely different from this time, it was designed by Yi Feng according to the hotel model of later generations, and even the food and wine here were also reflected in the chic. After eating a meal for more than an hour, Yuwen Yubo drank most of the bottle of red wine alone, and was already half drunk when he left, after helping her into the carriage, sitting in the moving carriage, Yuwen Yubo suddenly became silent, and then threw himself into Yi Feng's arms and cried, Yi Feng was a little caught off guard, but it was not easy to push her away at this time, with one hand in the air, nowhere to put it!
