Chapter 345 - Counting is Counting

"Emperor, you're here."

Since Song Xiaoqiao knows what her name is, she must also know who she is and what the relationship between her and the emperor is.

There is no need to hide it.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor."

The emperor's sudden visit made her stunned at first, but she soon returned to normal.

Although the emperor is the Ninety-Five, he is not a flood beast, I believe he will not do anything to her, otherwise he would not have to go to great lengths and risk Yi Yunxi being discovered to arrange her here.

"Hmm."

In the face of his mother's inquiry, he just responded lightly, and the atmosphere seemed very embarrassing, seeing this, Song Xiaoqiao hurriedly jumped out: "The emperor hasn't eaten yet, it's better to try the craftsmanship of slaves." ”

They are mother and son, why are they so cold, I don't know, I think they just know each other.

"I've heard you're a food expert, so I'll try your craft today."

In Qingyang Town, Song Xiaoqiao's name as a gourmand is well-known, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, today he will try it to see if this girl's craftsmanship is as good as rumored.

"The emperor has won the award, but the slave maid is just a little bit of research on food, not an expert."

She pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, and she was speechless in her heart.

She's an expert, but she has a little more wisdom and a special hobby for food.

Being said by the emperor made her feel empty.

"What is this?"

Looking at the different things in front of him, he still couldn't help it, he smelled the aroma as soon as he entered the door just now, but he was forced by his identity and didn't speak, since Song Xiaoqiao said it to this now, it didn't hurt him to ask.

"It doesn't matter what it's called, why don't the emperor come and taste it first?"

The word hot pot is still very unfamiliar here, in case the emperor asks the bottom of it, how can she explain it, the best way is to plug his mouth with food first.

Sure enough, when he heard Song Xiaoqiao say this, he was stunned at first, and then sat down, but he refused to do anything.

"Why didn't the emperor move the chopsticks, was he afraid that the slaves and maids would poison them?"

The emperor meant this, and after sitting down, he was stunned and didn't move, making her feel like a monk who was the second in law.

But also, on weekdays, the emperor eats everything that has someone to test the poison for him, and now there are just three of them, most of the emperor is worried that she will poison this hot pot, so he is reluctant to do it, thinking of this, she took the lead in picking up a piece of beef and putting it in the pot, and then stayed in it for half a minute, and then put the beef in the seasoning bowl prepared in advance, and sent it into her mouth.

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have already eaten it, and the emperor can eat it boldly now."

In fact, Song Xiaoqiao didn't know that the reason why the little emperor didn't do it was not because he was worried that she would poison the pot, but because he didn't know where to start, but because of his identity, he was embarrassed to speak directly, so he had to wait for Song Xiaoqiao to eat first.

He is the emperor, the ninety-five of the Mingyue Kingdom, he has never eaten anything, if Song Xiaoqiao knows that he can't, it will be a shame.

"Well, it tastes pretty good."

What kind of thing is this, it looks inconspicuous, it tastes so delicious, and it has a slight spicy taste.

"It's good if the emperor likes it."

If it weren't for Yi Yunxi's perennial light diet, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, she would definitely increase the spiciness, so that it would taste more refreshing.

Everyone eats a meal very carefully, and she is even cautious, for fear that she will accidentally provoke the little emperor and will not be able to find the feeling of eating hot pot at all.

"This is a secret letter from the king, what do you think?"

He came here today, not to eat, but just by coincidence, his real purpose was to let Song Xiaoqiao see this secret letter and listen to her opinion.

"Does the emperor think that Kabe's violent death is related to leaving the king?"

Before she read the letter, she had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, and it was obvious that the emperor thought that this matter had nothing to do with leaving the king.

She didn't know about the king, but she felt that this was unlikely, after all, Kabe was not an ordinary courtier, but the king's favorite general.

Would King Lili really do not hesitate to lose his generals for an excuse to send troops to Mingyue.

"What do you think about this?"

He did think so, but he couldn't find any evidence, and now the king took the initiative to send a secret letter, saying that he believed that the matter must not be what he said, and wanted him to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The king is cunning, and he can't believe the other people in the palace, so he will send the secret letter here for Song Xiaoqiao to see.

"Since it is what the king wants to see, why doesn't the emperor come up with a plan and order someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, but the slave maid is worried that this will cause turmoil among the courtiers."

Now most of the court and the middle are old ministers, many of them still accompany the emperor to fight the country, they rely on the old and sell the old, she is worried that once the emperor orders someone to investigate thoroughly, those old guys will jump out to oppose it, just like that day they knelt at the gate of the Chengqian Palace and forced the emperor to press her into the water prison.

"I'm worried about that, too."

If he hadn't been worried about causing turmoil among the courtiers, he would have ordered the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to search with great fanfare.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has a good idea, but it's a bit risky."

In the face of such a courtier who relies on the old and sells the old, she has a good way to solve it, not only to kill chickens and monkeys, but also to give the emperor the opportunity to cultivate henchmen.

"If you have something to say, you don't have to be so rigid in front of me."

He frowned, a hint of displeasure on his face.

What time has it been, she still has time to play sloppy here, she knows that this matter is slightly wrong, and they will fall apart internally without waiting for the country to come in.

"The emperor can call some people you believe in, if someone stands up against this matter in the early dynasty, you will directly take off his black gauze hat, so that he has no chance to speak."

Aren't they hard bones, so they can't be hard.

"No, then the other ministers will definitely rush to advise."

He had tried this method a long time ago, not only did he try, but his father also tried it back then, but it all ended in failure, and in the end it was gone.

"The emperor might as well change his perspective, this time we don't move their people, but move our own people, so that not only can we block their mouths, but also let them understand who is the emperor of Mingyue."

The major forces are intertwined, and it is not easy to deal with them, but if the target is the emperor's own people, the effect will be different.

"It works, but I'm afraid they'll take this opportunity to install their people in the vacant places."

Song Xiaoqiao said that this method is quite good, but in this way, the power he has worked hard to build up for many years will be hit, and he is a little worried that those old guys will take advantage of the problem.

"This is why the slave maid asked the emperor to prepare some people first, as long as those old ministers make a move, the emperor will immediately arrange for those backup personnel to take the position, and then they will have nothing to say."

Cultivating new forces is very important, the little emperor may have forgotten this because he has been with these old ministers for a long time, even if he wants to return the power to those henchmen in the future, it is also an experience for the newcomers, laying some foundation for them in the future.

"Your Majesty, only by breaking the cauldron can you open up a new world."

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Song Xiaoqiao couldn't help but open his mouth again, such an impasse has lasted for too many years, it is deep-rooted, and if you want to change completely, you must be surprised.
