Chapter 461: Suspicion of the Imperial Dining Room
Fu Wenjing hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, the concubine doesn't mean that!" ”
Long Xingche raised his eyebrows: "Then you tell me what I use to eat the silver taels of the imperial meal every month, what is this doing?" ”
Fu Wenjing frowned: "The concubines often eat with the emperor, and I always feel that the emperor's meals definitely don't cost so much silver!" In other words, the concubines suspected that someone had deducted silver taels from the emperor's imperial meal. ”
Long Xingche thought for a moment and said, "When I was eating, there were nearly hundreds of dishes every time, and those ingredients were relatively precious and valuable, I didn't think it was very unusual!" ”
"Your Majesty, how dare you guarantee that the nearly 100 dishes you use are all freshly prepared?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"There is a palace maid named Wen Ying in the Jingxuan Palace, I wonder if the emperor can still remember?"
Long Xingche thought about it carefully: "Wen Ying? It's a familiar name, have I ever heard of it? ”
Fu Wenjing said a little sullenly: "She is the child of the concubine and the emperor that day, when she was designed to be killed, she looked at the palace maid in the small kitchen of the pot of millet porridge!" ”
After Long Xingche heard Fu Wenjing talk about this matter, and saw that Fu Wenjing seemed to be a little angry, he immediately became nervous and quickly responded: "Yes, I remember everything, does this matter have anything to do with her?" ”
"It was when she went to the imperial dining room by chance that she found that there was a cook in the imperial dining room, who heated up several leftover meals from your last meal and passed them on to you!" When Fu Wenjing saw Long Xingche mention her loss of her son last time, she looked nervous, and she was angry for no reason!
"What? Is this really scolding? Long Xingche said this sentence from between his teeth.
He is the dignified king of a country, and he has fallen to the level of eating leftovers, how can he not be angry?
"Can I still lie to you? Why don't you secretly find someone to investigate this matter? "Fu Wenjing and Long Xingche have been together for more than two years now. And Long Che didn't let herself use a very respectful tone towards him, so she was talking to Long Xingche very casually now.
Long Xingche threw the fan in his hand hatefully: "I understand this matter, I must find out someone like me who is a troublemaker and dares to blackmail the imperial dining room to purchase silver!" ”
"That...... Is eating leftovers really a very angry thing for you? "Fu Wenjing actually wants to save some money from the meal that Long Xingche used to do some good deeds!
"What do you mean by that? Should I eat leftovers? ”
"You don't eat leftovers for a day or two~" Fu Wenjing meant to tell Long Xingche that this behavior must have already started when Wen Ying didn't find out that the chef in the imperial dining room was hot food!
"Say what you think!" Long Xingche heard that there was something in Fu Wenjing's words!
Fu Wenjing sat next to Long Xingche and patiently explained: "What the concubine means is why the emperor doesn't let the imperial dining room make some meals that he wants to eat, such as writing a menu, if he really doesn't want to eat it, don't let them do it, waste food, and waste silver taels." ”
Long Xingche groaned slightly: "I think your method is feasible, and it will not give those who make a fuss about it a chance to take advantage of it." ”
"Then what does the emperor plan to do with the people who have already written on it?" Fu Wenjing is actually urging Long Xingche to make amends, don't let this kind of "rat" who bites the cloth bag continue to commit crimes!
"I will order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly tomorrow, you can rest assured, you should also know that there will never be sand in my eyes!" Long Xingche had made up his mind, so he took Fu Wenjing to bed.
On the second day, the Imperial Dining Room
After Long Xingche decided to rectify the crooked style in the imperial dining room, he ordered Amber to pass on his message to the imperial dining room.
Amber told the inside story of Fu Wenjing in front of everyone in the imperial dining room according to Long Xingche's meaning.
After hearing Amber's words, everyone in the imperial dining room looked at each other, a little at a loss!
Because, Long Xingche has at least two imperial meals a day, and nearly a quarter of the meals are to be heated and continued, which is also something that everyone in the imperial dining room knows each other.
They have all made a lot of benefits from it, and now that Long Xingche has suddenly made this holy decree, then their external wealth may be cut off!
After Amber saw everyone's reactions, she knew that what Fu Wenjing said must have facts, so she continued to spread Long Xingche's message.
Long Xingche's main meaning was to let the people in the imperial study supervise each other, in fact, he had secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the imperial dining room.
The reason why Long Xingche did this was mainly because he felt that the cook could openly heat up the food and pass it to him in the imperial dining room, and this matter could be done so easily. It must be the result of the collusion and collusion of the imperial dining room for a long time.
Therefore, he did not believe that the people in the imperial dining room could supervise each other's behavior, and the matter of deducting the imperial dining room to buy silver taels could be stopped.
After Amber left the Imperial Dining Room after passing Long Xingche's message, everyone in the Imperial Dining Room was sad, gathered together, and was silent for a while without speaking.
"Chef Zhou, what should we do now?"
The head of the imperial dining room was Zhou Zi'an Zhou, and he surrounded a group of people, all of whom were waiting for Zhou Zi'an to make an idea.
Zhou Zi'an glanced around cautiously, and said with some annoyance: "You ask me, who do I ask?" How many dynasties, how many generations, there has always been this tradition, who knows that it will not work with us? ”
In the crowd surrounding Zhou Zi'an, there was a person named Ma Wanshan, who was also pretending to wait for Zhou Zi'an with everyone.
And this Ma Wanshan is the key person who Huaijun Long Yunche has placed in the imperial dining room, and may be able to give Long Xingche a fatal blow at the right time!
Actually, he's acting like that now. Because he secretly had Long Yunche's "supply", he was not short of the silver that was secretly deducted from the imperial dining room.
In the end, Zhou Zi'an, who couldn't think of a countermeasure, had no choice but to follow the menu given by Long Xingche and instructed everyone in the imperial dining room to do their respective tasks. and gave an order, don't do any more hot meals for the time being, and give Long Xingche the next meal.
Then, he quietly conveyed his own meaning to everyone, that is, everyone "brainstormed" together to find a way, how to quickly fool this matter over, and couldn't be blamed by Long Xingche, so he dispersed everyone.
Ma Wanshan and Liu Gui also left the place where everyone gathered after Zhou Zi'an ordered everyone to disperse.
After returning to the room where the two of them lived, Liu Gui asked Ma Wanshan a little timidly, "Master, what should we do then?" Will our affairs be discovered? ”
Ma Wanshan heard Liu Gui's words, opened the door again, and quietly glanced out, before closing the door and whispering, "Didn't you hear what Father-in-law Amber said?" This time it is to investigate the matter of the Imperial Dining Room privately deducting and purchasing silver, and it has nothing to do with our business! ”
