Chapter 215: The Little Prince
Ye Ling is a good emperor, some things only need Ye Qiu to open a little window, he can do it very well, whether it is the popularization of sweet potatoes and potatoes or the fall of the Southern King, Ye Ling has done what a wise emperor should do.
The original host's requirement is to ensure that he does not seek to usurp the throne and be a free and easy prince, now that the biggest threat has been eradicated, Ye Qiu has completely let go of himself, with the favor of the imperial brother and the trust of the crown prince Ye Shu in him, Ye Qiu believes that as long as he does not rebel in this life, he will be at ease for the rest of his life.
Two years later, a once-in-a-century drought broke out in Dachen as in the previous life, but because there was a large amount of grain reserves, even if the people had a hard time this year, they would not be displaced and starved like in the previous life, but they were grateful for the emperor's grace, because of a benevolent emperor like him, God would give them life-saving sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the prestige of Emperor Ye Ling once reached its peak.
As Ye Qiu, who discovered these two crops, he was more and more favored by Ye Ling, and even gave him a Danshu iron coupon and a gold medal for avoiding death.
The courtiers were afraid that Ye Qiu would be lawless because of the emperor's deep grace, but he turned to the hot pot business.
There is no rule that the royal family cannot do business in Dachen Kingdom, but in the end, the merchants are low, and few royal families and officials will go to do business with great fanfare and degenerate, and more often than not, they will be handed over to their subordinates to deal with.
But Ye Qiu didn't, he felt that he was here to vacation in this world, of course, how did he come according to his heart, how could a good thing like chili not be loved by the public?
Although Ye Qiu is only in his teens, he is one of the richest people in Dachen Kingdom, and he opened a hot pot restaurant not to make money, but simply for his own preferences.
"Uncle Huang, it's so spicy." The second prince, Ye Xin, stuck out his tongue and inhaled, obviously he was already sweating profusely, but he still couldn't suppress the chopsticks he stretched into the pot.
"Delicious, right?" Ye Qiu squinted his eyes and smiled cunningly, "Old man Kong also said that my hot pot is not sinky, hmph, I saw that he had acne on his forehead, and he must have eaten secretly at home, the old guy with the wrong mouth." ”
Now most of the meals in Dachen Kingdom are divided into food systems, and only a few poor families or families with simple populations will eat at the same table, and it is unheard of for Ye Qiu to eat hot pot hot dishes at the same table in front of the public, so that as soon as Ye Qiu's hot pot restaurant opened, it suffered from the opposition of the Li faction led by Kong Taifu.
But in the end, Ye Qiu had the upper hand, firstly, those old guys couldn't control him, and secondly, the taste of hot pot was indeed attractive, and some people couldn't stop after eating it, so the business of the hot pot restaurant became more and more prosperous.
Even eating hot pot, how to eat, and what dishes to eat have become hot topics in the capital, even if Kong Taifu strongly opposes it, but he can't bear to eat secretly in his family, so the opposition in the court is getting smaller and smaller, and Ye Qiu dares to put the hot pot on his imperial brother's table in a bright way.
"Brother Huang, you taste this, this is delicious."
Ye Ling saw that Ye Qiu sandwiched a piece of black and wrinkled ingredients for him, put the letter into his mouth suspiciously, and instantly crispy, tender and spicy taste exploded in his mouth, Ye Ling's eyes unconsciously lit up.
"What is this?" Ye Ling asked curiously.
"Hairy belly, that is, cow stomach." Ye Qiu didn't care whether his imperial brother could accept it or not, and said it calmly.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was this thing, Ye Ling coughed exaggeratedly, and he instantly understood why Mrs. Kong and the others strongly opposed it, and only poor people would eat such a thing as the water, how could there be a person like his emperor who was so righteous and bright to sell? Still selling at a high price?
But the taste of this hairy belly is really good, after knowing that this thing is a cow's stomach, Ye Ling instantly became suspicious of the other ingredients on the table, he picked up a piece of yellow slippery thing and continued to ask, "What is this?" ”
"Yellow throat, which is the aorta of cattle, is the blood vessels."
Well, Ye Ling, who knew the answer, didn't want to ask anymore, as long as it tasted good, it didn't matter what it was, anyway, as long as it could enter Ye Qiu's mouth, there was nothing bad to eat.
Ye Ling accepted hot pot well with his strong mentality, and he didn't know if Old Lady Kong secretly ate hot pot at home, anyway, he often came to the emperor's palace to eat.
A year later, not only in the capital, but also in the entire Dachen country, there was a popular trend of eating hot pot, and chili peppers were also included in the ranks of seasonings by housewives all over the country, and even in Huxiang and Sichuangui and other places, chili peppers became a must-have local dish.
Ye Qiu's life is very comfortable as he wishes, he is the younger brother of Emperor Hui, and he has been favored by Emperor Hui all his life, even if he goes to the fiefdom when he becomes an adult, he will be summoned by Emperor Hui to live in Beijing for two months every year.
After the death of Emperor Hui, Emperor Wen Ye Shu succeeded to the throne, and he also respected this imperial uncle who grew up together very much and gave him infinite honor.
Ye Qiu's reputation in Dachen Kingdom is very high, even if he deviates from the norm and often does some outrageous actions, but his actions have brought benefits to the people of Dachen Kingdom.
He not only discovered sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other ingredients for the people of Dachen to increase their income, but also invented hot pot, tofu and other things to improve the taste of the people, what is even more interesting is that His Royal Highness King An is also a good money boy, all the money he earned from the hot pot restaurant was used by him to repair the school and medical hall, and truly took it from the people for the people.
On the day of Ye Qiu's burial, the people of Dachen Kingdom mourned together, and they lit the everlasting lamp for him in the temple.
Ye Shu is not only not jealous but very proud of the prestige he has achieved for the imperial uncle, the most respected imperial uncle in his life should have been respected by everyone, he was born as a prince, and he also envied the imperial uncle's carefree life, but he knew that he was destined not to be like this, then he could only protect the imperial uncle's ease and let the imperial uncle be a rare happy person in the royal family.
Ye Qiu's life is full of legends, and later generations are familiar with researchers, who have been incredulous about this royal truth, and Ye Qiu's deeds have also been remade into a TV series by countless descendants, and it can be said that he has lived the most envied in everyone's minds.
The only regret is that King An has not married a wife in his life, and there is not even an ambiguous object in the history books, but he can't stand the brain of future generations.
There are also people who speculate that King An likes men, and even guesses that what he likes is the second prince Ye Xin, who has to make the southern land next door to Ye Qiu his fiefdom when he becomes an adult, and even did not remarry after the death of the second princess, but traveled with King An Ye Qiu all day long.
What the truth is, future generations don't know, but what they know is that King An lived as the most carefree person in that era.
