Chapter 118: The Imperial Banquet

Yuan Ti'an didn't answer whether to go or not, but asked, "Then how is this general's eyes blind?" ”

Zhang Biwu replied: "Being cut in the face by the Qing soldier's knife, coupled with excessive sadness and sadness, and breaking through in the battlefield, you can't use medicine to treat it earlier." Even if he broke through, he was bent on seeking death, and he was extremely sad, so the medicine didn't work! I've been blind for two years, and now I can only ask for Mr. Qiu! ”

"Good!" Yuan Ti'an said: "Since you were injured in the battle with the Qing soldiers!" If I could heal, I would do as much as I could! Zhang Biwu! You can rest assured! But I have to see the patient before I can be sure if I can be healed or not! If I can't be cured, I will also help you to seek Fu Shan, Fu Qingzhu, who have the reputation of medical saints, and Zhang Qingzi, these two famous doctors can cure Lu! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard the great joy, he was very happy and said, "Good! To be able to get Mr.'s consent, Guoxiong is really grateful! ”

Then, Yuan Ti'an said: "I'm going to Nanjing to do a private matter, and after this thing is done, I will go to Lingbao to find the garrison!" May turn to Huguang and go straight to Lingbao! ”

Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "Huguang is now suffering from the ...... of war" Yuan Ti'an smiled and said: "I want to go to Shashi to meet a good friend, I went to Nanjing to do what he entrusted, and when the affairs in Nanjing are done, I will get Shashi to report to him!" Don't worry, I'll definitely come to Lingbao to find you! ”

Zhang Biwu held his hand and said, "Great! Thank you so much, sir! Yuan Ti'an really didn't understand why Zhang Biwu was so excited, and who would be the person he wanted to save?

Zhang Biwu didn't know that Lu Dao because of his own move, he had already changed history, he saved Lu Xiangsheng, and now let Yuan Ti'an go to Lingbao and then treat Lu Xiangsheng, Yuan Ti'an will not have an accident if he does not transfer to Huguang, but if he wants to transfer to Huguang and go to Shashi, then he will be caught by Yang Sichang, which will cause harm to Zhang Biwu, and Yang Sichang should have passed away, but he did not die, and history has unconsciously deviated.

This is all caused by Zhang Biwu, of course, this is a later story, and it still has to be carefully described in the later chapters.

Someone came to urge Zhang Biwu, and said that the emperor wanted Zhang Biwu to go to the family banquet, Zhang Biwu heard it, Yuan Ti'an agreed to him, and he had to go into the palace first, I hope there will be nothing wrong this time.

Zhang Biwu saw that the emperor had already set up a banquet and was waiting for him!

Zhang Biwu saw that the clothes worn by the emperor were patched, which was simply incredible for an emperor. However, in the past, he read history books and knew that in order to save money, Chongzhen not only reduced his diet again and again, but even did not even eat meat, and only ate vegetarian.

In the past, the emperor had to play music for dinner, but now even music is exempt, meat and vegetarian dishes are full of a table, dozens of dishes are old on land and sea, but now there are only a dozen vegetarian dishes, less than half of the usual.

Chongzhen did this because he wanted Zhang Biwu to look at it deliberately, and see how different his emperor was from the emperors of previous dynasties, he was diligent and thrifty. However, the emperor's style naturally cannot be canceled, but it is much less than before, and the specifications have also decreased.

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Guoxiong, don't think that my table is full of vegetarian dishes!" There's no way for me to do it! The hungry are starving and cold, and my heart is unbearable! How can I swallow meat? I can only be a vegetarian, so I hope to be more frugal and pay the army, so that the world can be sad and peaceful as soon as possible! Alas! ”

Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "The minister will not dislike it!" It's just that the minister thinks that the emperor is the co-lord of the world, and he is really a rare wise monarch for the sake of the people! Chongzhen was very useful after hearing this, and said that he was a wise king, which was what he wanted the most.

Zhang Biwu saw that there were actually the queen and the prince and Princess Kunxing who came to eat together, he was stunned, and if Chongzhen could call his family to eat this meal together, it showed that it was a family banquet!

Zhang Biwu thought of it, this was Chongzhen's method to win him over, he couldn't help but smile again, and he became calm.

Chongzhen kept asking Zhang Biwu to eat vegetables, looking kind, and kept saying that after he made meritorious service, he would treat Zhang Biwu better.

Zhang Biwu understood even more how urgent Chongzhen's mood should be to look forward to his meritorious service! And Princess Kunxing looked directly at Zhang Biwu, there was affection in her eyes, and she wanted Zhang Biwu not to disappoint her father! His father values him so much, he will never let down his father! As long as Zhang Biwu can make his father and mother happy, Princess Kunxing feels that Zhang Biwu is a big hero.

In fact, Princess Kunxing already has a secret affection for Zhang Biwu, this bud is growing strongly, growing bigger and bigger.

When Princess Kunxing looked at her with affection, Zhang Biwu couldn't help but be stunned. Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "What did Princess Kunxing look at me just now, it seems that there is affection in her eyes!" It won't be ...... Impossible, right? I'm not interested in little girls! If it's modern, under the age of 14 is a young girl! To pay legal responsibility! But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, a lot of them got married at the age of 12! 14 years old is considered to be the age to leave the cabinet. ”

Chongzhen actually asked Princess Kunxing to give Zhang Biwu a dish, which is a rare honor! If the scholars who were deeply influenced by the Tao of Confucius and Mencius must be grateful and widely publicized, even military generals will swear to die in retribution. But Zhang Biwu is not! He is a modern person, and the idea of loyalty and father is not so strong.

It's just that Zhang Biwu knows that Chongzhen is moody, and he has to pretend to be very grateful. However, Chongzhen is very disappointed in this, it is said that the emperor called the emperor to take the vegetables, although the emperor did not personally coerce, this is almost impossible, but let the emperor take the vegetables, this is a rare honor! Why is Zhang Biwu so grateful?

If ordinary people would immediately kneel down, bow three times and bow nine times to thank you, and will repeatedly express their willingness to smear their liver and brains to repay the great grace of heaven and earth! But now Zhang Biwu is just looking extremely grateful, and he didn't bow three times and bow nine times!

Chongzhen was angry in his heart, and he couldn't help it, because he was very happy to see Princess Kunxing, and he knew that this little girl might have fallen in love with Zhang Biwu! Chongzhen saw his daughter's innocent smile, and his anger was thrown out of the clouds.

The vegetarian dishes on this table are very special, although they are all vegetarian, they are very delicious.

At this moment, a eunuch came in a hurry, he just wanted to speak out, and when he saw Chongzhen and Zhang Biwu eating, he didn't dare to make a sound.

Chongzhen feigned anger: "What are you doing not seeing me and Zhang Aiqing eating?" The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head, but he didn't feel the slightest fear, and he was supposedly scared by the emperor's reprimand.

Zhang Biwu saw that there was a problem, but he had to respond immediately: "Your Majesty, state affairs are important!" It doesn't matter if you eat this meal later! Chongzhen smiled and nodded, saying, "It's good!" ”

Chongzhen turned to the eunuch and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

The eunuch said: "Dongchang has found out that there are a group of officials in the Ming Dynasty who are secretly having fun in the brothel!" They simply didn't care that during the state funeral, the whole country was mourning for the unfortunate murder of King Fu, King Xiang, and King Guiyang, but they were having fun with prostitutes, although it was done in secret, but it was really hateful! Look at the emperor hasn't eaten meat for a month! Even the queen led Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan to plant vegetables in the fields in person, so that there were vegetables to eat in the palace, save expenses, and get more silver taels to support the front-line battle! But they? ”

When the eunuch said this, he kept stamping his feet and saying, "Damn it! It's really hateful! They are a lot of money in the brothel, but how can they think of the emperor? Thinking of the queen, thinking of the concubines suffering? Don't look at their worries about the country and the people above the court, but as soon as they arrived at the brothel, they changed into a lewd appearance, and all of them were exposed! This is my courtier of the Ming Dynasty! ”

It is indeed heartbreaking! Chongzhen sighed and asked, "Are there many ministers in the court doing this?" The eunuch replied: "Your lord, there are a lot!" Nine out of ten ministers in the court are villains who look like this! ”

"Bang" Chongzhen was on fire and said, "Damn! I have to punish them well! It is really hateful to dare to do such blatant things during the state funeral! ”

Zhang Biwu immediately stood up and requested: "Please don't punish these officials severely, after all, nine out of ten officials in the court went out to fool around during the state funeral!" If you punish too much, then everyone will be in danger, and the court will face a catastrophe! Now is the critical moment to suppress thieves, and the monarchs and ministers must be single-minded, even if they have a small mistake, they can't help but let it go for the time being! ”

This point Chongzhen is clear, the reason why Chongzhen let Zhang Biwu know the Tao is to show that he trusts him, and even shows that he trusts Zhang Biwu extremely much, even more than all the officials in the DPRK and China!

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay! Since it was Guoxiong personally requested, I will look at Guoxiong's face! Leave them alone! But there are some people that I have to punish! Hum! ”

Zhang Biwu looked at Chongzhen, and he guessed that the reason why Chongzhen said this at today's banquet was to win him over.

Sure enough, Chongzhen gave Zhang Biwu another word of encouragement, and Zhang Biwu repeatedly said that the emperor's grace should be reciprocated.

After Zhang Biwu was full, he left, he completely believed in the eunuch's statement that the emperor had not eaten meat for a month, and even the queen took Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan to the fields to farm, and he also believed in the weaving, which is a fact in itself.

Zhang Biwu had heard of it before, and of course the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also said that because the emperor wanted to be a vegetarian, it was impossible for the imperial dining room to really let the emperor be vegetarian! So what to do?

The imperial dining room had to stuff the winter melon into the duck's belly, and then boil, the winter melon itself is very absorbent, after the addition of some delicious flavors, this vegetarian dish is not only vegetarian, but also mixed with the muddy flavor. On the contrary, it costs more, and it is much better to eat meat dishes directly!
