The weather was clear and the sky was cloudless. The outstanding performers all received invitations from Emperor Yongxi. They hugged and pulled to the palace dining room in groups of three or five, and a few brothers were still humming the opera of "The Female Concubine" happily. What an envy!

All of them ignored the young man who was walking alone, his hands twisted together and his brow furrowed. Look at his expression, as if someone in his previous life owed him a silver tael and didn't pay it back.

This young man is none other than Li Yunlong. In fact, only he, who was holding a wedding card with Wang Jinhua, knew that today, after enjoying the delicious food and classic pastries in the "Imperial Dining Room" of the palace, he submitted this joyful invitation to the saint. It must be "nine deaths and one life"!

The Imperial Dining Room belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is in charge of the palace to prepare food and beverages for ceremonial banquets. The subordinate institutions have dining rooms, tea rooms, meat rooms and dry meat rooms, and the dining rooms and tea rooms each have silverware warehouses, and there are ministers of prime minister's affairs, no fixed staff, and they belong to Shang Shanzheng, Shang Shan Deputy, Shang Cha Zheng, Shang Cha Deputy, Shang Shan, Shang Cha and the director, pen sticker, etc.

The "Imperial Dining Room" of the Imperial Court is an integral part of the splendid imperial capital, and for hundreds of years, it has collected many folk delicacies for the emperors to enjoy. The situation is changing, the world is changing, and I don't know how many palace flavors have spread to the people and become popular dishes?

There is no accurate number of how many dining rooms there are in the imperial capital. However, in the large and small palaces scattered throughout this imperial city, there are their own dining rooms. The concubines alone have almost eight ranks, and their usual meal expenses range from fifty taels to ten taels. The lower the portion, the smaller the dining room, the fewer dishes, and the utensils used vary from gold and silver to tin and porcelain.

Among the many dining rooms, the largest was the "Imperial Dining Room" that served the emperor. There are two imperial dining rooms in the Forbidden City: one is outside the Jingyun Gate (now south of the Treasure Hall), called "Outer Imperial Dining Room", also known as "Imperial Dining Room".

The "Imperial Cuisine Dining Room" not only makes the "Manchu and Han full banquets" for the banquet of the ministers, but also sometimes prepares meals for the ministers on duty. The other is on the side of the "Palace of Nourishing Heart", called "Inner Imperial Dining Room", also known as "Nourishing Heart Palace Imperial Dining Room", and countless delicacies are from here.

In addition, in the "Old Summer Palace", "Summer Palace" and other imperial gardens, there are also imperial dining rooms, called "garden dining rooms"; In the imperial dining room of the palace such as Rehe, Luanhe, and Zhang Sanying, it is called "walking in the imperial dining room". Every time the emperor traveled, he brought an imperial catering team for him to eat and drink. How many people served the emperor's food and drink? No one can come up with an accurate number.

However, according to historical records, there are hundreds of people in just one imperial dining room in the "Heart Cultivation Palace". The "Imperial Dining Room of the Palace of Nourishing Heart" is equipped with: 2 chiefs, 2 deputy chiefs, 27 people, 2 foremen Bai Tang A, 20 Bai Tang A, 20 Cheng Chang, 44 Cheng Chang, 2 Chang Chang, 6 lead urges, 57 Sanqi cooks, 10 recruited cooks, 30 husbands, and these people are "Poor Chefs".

There are also many "food and eunuchs", whose names and amounts are also very considerable; There are 100 eunuchs in charge of the seven products, and 10 eunuchs are sent to carry water, who are in charge of food, official delicacies and offerings in various places, festival banquets, attendants, and sitting watches.

In addition, there are many people who "recruit additional kitchen servants", such as dishes prepared by a certain palace, a minister or a restaurant, once appreciated by the emperor and queen, their cooks will be recruited into the palace. For example, a vendor who sells kidney bean rolls was appreciated by Empress Hua Yuling because of the kidney bean rolls he made, so he was recruited into the palace to make this product for her.

This kind of cooking can be as little as a few years, more than ten years, decades, and in fact, some people only cook once or twice a year, and some never even make a little dish.

In addition to the many cooks and eunuchs, there were also some imperial doctors who studied eating and drinking for the emperor. In order to cater to the emperor's tastes, they did everything possible to search for food recipes. For example, the imperial physician Hu Sihui, in the book "Drinking and Eating Properly", presented to the emperor 150 recipes of "Gathering Rare Dishes" and "All kinds of Soups", 23 kinds of "fairy bait", and 61 kinds of "food curing diseases".

The Heavenly Immortal Mansion, the King of the World. The emperor's food is by no means very comparable, and even the drinking water must be vigorously chosen. The drinking water of the emperors who built the capital of Beijing was to drink the water of Yuquan Mountain in western Beijing.

Yuquan Mountain has almost become the water of the royal family, and every day from Yuquan Mountain to the imperial capital, the carriages carrying water are endless along the road.

The rice eaten by the emperors and queens is divided into yellow, white and red, some are Yuanli's tribute rice, some are Jingxi rice, Nanyuan rice, and some are taken from the emperor's "experimental field" - the famous rice planted in Fengze Garden, Zhongnanhai.

The Imperial Palace's Internal Affairs Office has set up the "Qingfeng Division", which specializes in breeding cattle and sheep for the emperor, and supplying milk, beef and mutton and other foods. Countless delicacies from the mountains and seas, rare dried and fresh fruits, from all directions to the emperor tribute.

For example, the "Flying Dragon" in the Northeast, the "Bad Oil" in Jiangsu, the "Anchovy" in Zhenjiang, the "Rape" in Henan, the candied dates in Zhejiang, and the "White Fungus" in Lingtong were all once tributes transmitted by Pegasus.

The emperor's meal was divided into three stages: passing the meal, eating, and eating. Before each meal, submit a meal list, which indicates the time, place, name of the dish, which dish is served with what utensils, what table is used, etc.

The emperor and others have a meal, mostly in the "Qianqing Palace", "Yangxin Palace", "Hongde Palace" and other places, every death day, then eat fast in the palace.

The "Son of Heaven" is most afraid of death. The imperial chefs and eunuchs used, although they have been carefully selected, are still trustworthy. In order to prevent poisoning in food, the emperor often adopted methods such as "appreciating food" and "tasting food", that is, before the emperor ate it, he first rewarded a part of it to the concubine, or let the personal eunuch taste it first, and then eat, when eating, he also used a silver plate and ivory chopsticks to test whether it was poisonous before daring to enter it.

The emperor's meal recipe is a hundred people's annual food. The emperor's dietary standard on weekdays, the most ordinary meal also has about 20 dishes. It is reported that at breakfast, there are 19 varieties of dishes such as "stewed bird's nest with rock sugar", "duck in the oven", "fat duck", "meat in the oven", "wild hot pot" and 1 dish of "duck porridge".

For dinner, there were a total of 37 dishes of "Steamed Duck with Bird's Nest", "Salt-fried Pork", "Dongpo Pork", "Shredded Pork and Mountain Vegetables" and dishes for the concubine. There are 76 dishes on the menu in just two meals, and even more if you add two snacks.

Every day, the chef actively collects delicacies from the mountains and seas under the sky, flying and diving plants, carefully cooking, and endless patterns. The dishes used in each meal should be filled with at least three tables, and there are often more than 100 kinds of dishes, including cold dishes, hot dishes, stove food, and side dishes. In addition, there is also a "Kotobuki Pharmacy" that stocks a variety of precious tonic medicines for them to enjoy.

The grandest banquet in the palace is the "Manchu and Han Banquet". At that time, every time the emperor's wedding, the thousand autumns, the winter solstice, the Spring Festival and other major festivals, it was often the royal banquet that was opened, and the grandeur was abnormal. Many banquet tables are all over the courtyard in front of the Taihe Palace, and the Manchu and Han courtiers bathe the emperor's grace, and the princes and grandsons taste the royal banquet all over the place.

The royal banquet is equipped with delicacies such as mountain delicacies, seafood, rare birds, exotic beasts, fresh vegetables, and famous fruits. It is said that sometimes 134 hot dishes, 48 cold dishes, and a variety of snacks are served. There are more than 200 kinds of dishes. At the time of the banquet, the ceremonial guards were lined up, and the drums were played in unison, which was very grand.

The last scene of the banquet is often a scene where the ministers grab the banquet, the royal goods are in the bag, and the restraint is swept away.

At this moment, Li Yunlong took out the invitation to hold a wedding with Wang Jinhua from his arms, resolutely stood up and bowed deeply to Emperor Yongxi with both hands and fists, and said: Holy Lord, it is a good time. Xiaosheng has good news that must be shared with you, the Empress, the ministers of civil and military affairs present, and our friends. I hope for the Holy Lord's permission!

Emperor Yongxi gave a banquet to the outstanding scholars, and ordered all the civil and military ministers who were officials in Beijing to accompany them. Just to preach to these civil and military ministers: he is a wise monarch who cherishes and protects talents. It's all worth their continued support!

Therefore, as soon as Li Yunlong's words landed, Emperor Yongxi blurted out without thinking: Li Yunlong, don't play tricks anymore. If there is any good news to be thankful for, just say it!

Hearing this, Li Yunlong said in a loud voice: Sheng, all civil and military officials, brothers, and elders in the house set a "baby kiss" for us when we were young. On the eighth day of the next month, I will have a wedding with my fiancée. At that time, we warmly welcome the Holy Long Live and the Queen Mother!

As he spoke, Li Yunlong left his seat and walked in front of Emperor Yongxi, kowtowed three times, and raised the invitation above his head and shouted: Xiaosheng implores the saint and the queen to appreciate their faces!

Actually, what Li Yunlong thought in his heart was: Queen Mother, whether you and the emperor go to northern Jiangsu to attend my wedding. I don't care! The reason why we say this is just to force you to bless my marriage and harmony with Wang Jinhua in front of these officials and people. Even if you two don't want to, you have to do it according to my ideas!

When Emperor Yongxi heard this, his face was full of calm. immediately turned to Empress Hua Yuling beside her, and signaled her vigorously not to embarrass Li Yunlong in front of everyone here.

However, Emperor Yongxi was disappointed to see that the face of the woman sitting next to him was like a sudden lightning and thunder on a sunny day. Immediately it was darkened!

Next, Empress Hua Yuling stood up and pointed at Li Yunlong and said angrily: You bastard, you have done such an inappropriate thing. What a "reason"!

As she spoke, the queen lady left her seat, flicked her sleeves and walked towards the door of the imperial dining room. Immediately after that, two palace maids stepped forward to help her and walked out: this room that made her very unhappy.

Emperor Yongxi watched with extreme annoyance: Empress Hua Yuling, who was loved by thousands of people, left this "imperial dining room" alone. Leaving him alone to face the ministers and the lifters, his eyebrows couldn't help but lock!

Immediately, many civil and military ministers and ministers who knew the truth of the matter turned to Li Yunlong and said: "Little Lizi, you are also a person of knowledge. Why don't you know that "your elbows can't reach your thighs"? Hurry up and bow down to the emperor!

Seeing the queen mother flick her sleeves and leave angrily, Emperor Yongxi's eyebrows then tightened. Frightened, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu hurriedly stood up and left their seats, both leaned down and shouted in unison: The old minister implores the saint to read it for the sake of Xiao Lizi's pure heart. Just be gracious!

Last night, when Li Yunlong told them this "voluntary confession" strategy, they knew that this was a "victory in danger" strategy. However, they knew that the saint was hindered by Empress Hua Yuling's face, the majesty of the royal family, and the dignity of the heirs. will definitely not give an order to "give marriage", and take the initiative to promote the happy marriage of Li Yunlong and Wang Jinhua!

For the above reasons, Prime Minister Yu and Liang Shangshu agreed: Li Yunlong's "active confession" strategy.

Right now, Empress Hua Yuling heard his request. He stood up and accused angrily, then flicked his sleeves and turned away. The saint looked at her back, his eyebrows locked. They knew that it was time to say a few fair words for Li Yunlong!

Seeing Liang Shangshu who was still wrapped in medical gauze on his head, Emperor Yongxi also knew that if he "aided the abuse" again. The Lord Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu in front of him will definitely "admonish each other with death" for the sake of their beloved disciples. The consequences are unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongxi waved at Prime Minister Yu and Liang Shangshu and said: Two Aiqing, I am not a confused person. You two just turn your seats!

As he spoke, Emperor Yongxi turned to Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch standing by the door of the imperial dining room, and gave him a look.

The eunuch ran to Li Yunlong's side with understanding, took the big red and gold-rimmed invitation he held above his head, and then ran to Emperor Yongxi and handed it to him carefully. Then, he quietly retreated to the place where he had stood. The eyes looked nervously as if focused: the ruler of the dynasty. A heart secretly rejoices for this new imperial examiner!

Afterwards, Gonggong Li heard his master say happily: Li Yunlong, I miss you as the new champion of the current dynasty. Today, I will forgive you for your sin of contempt for the majesty of the royal family. On your big day, I will go to the Li Mansion in northern Jiangsu to congratulate you. I hope that after you are happy, you will not indulge in women's sex, and miss your study and delay next year's "Spring Festival". Otherwise, I will be punished for many crimes!

As he spoke, Emperor Yongxi said tiredly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the future pillars of the country, there have been too many things that have happened recently, and I am a little tired. That's the end of today's feast!

Hearing this, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, turned outside and shouted: The palanquin bearers pay attention, the saint is going to drive the "Heart Cultivation Palace"!

When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he left his seat and walked to the door of the imperial dining room, and said solemnly: Gonggong Li, change the imperial study. Don't disturb anyone!

Watching Emperor Yongxi walk out of the imperial dining room, all the civil and military ministers and ministers present turned to Li Yunlong, clasped their fists with both hands and said: Li Yunlong, I saw the queen mother brushing her sleeves away just now. We're all sweating for you! Now, it's finally "sunny after the rain". Congratulations!

Prime Minister Yu and Liang Shangshu couldn't help but hug Li Yunlong and said: Li Yunlong, things can develop to such a point. It is not easy to be honest, and once you have a reputation in the future. You must remember to serve the country with loyalty!

Hearing this, Li Yunlong bowed down to the two of them and bowed. Extremely moved to say: Two adults, wait for us to "rebuild". In this life, it is an example for us to work hard to learn!

Then, the group walked out of the imperial dining room with a smile, walked out of the palace gate and looked into the distance and shouted in unison: For the country to be stable and prosperous, let us cheer together!

As they spoke, everyone silently parted. They left the palace gate one after another and walked into the distance. However, no one would have thought that in the imperial study of the palace, there was a lot of commotion. Emperor Yongxi is so tired!

When friends see this, they will be puzzled and say: the author's friend, the emperor who is the king of a country. must be living a life of "clothes to reach out and food to open his mouth", how can he be so tired and tired?

Hey, among all living beings in the world, it is not only the common people who have a lot of troubles in their homes. Otherwise, there would be no popular saying in this world that "a family does not know the suffering of a family"! The emperor also has a lot of sad things, let's "see is believing"!

At this moment, in the imperial study, Emperor Yongxi was holding an invitation with a big red belt and gold rim in his hand. Sometimes he pulls his face and smiles bitterly, sometimes shakes his head and sighs. Secretly pondered: Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you dare to submit a wedding card to me before next year's "Spring Festival" is over. It's really "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers"!

By Emperor Yongxi's side, Empress Hua Yuling was pointing fingers and lashing out. To the right of them, sat two princesses of Changle Palace.

The peaceful face of the second princess was full of anger. took the hand of the eldest princess Leping and gritted her teeth and said: Sister Huang, that Li Yunlong can't look down on you. It's him who "has eyes but no beads"! Wait until his father decrees that he will be convicted of "exterminating the nine clans". He will crawl at your feet and wag his tail at you!

Hearing this, the eldest princess Leping's heart was like a huge wave hitting a cliff, churning fiercely: Li Yunlong, facing me as the heir of the royal family. We really can't imagine that you don't even think about your future at all. But I still love the heroine of your "baby kiss", which really makes me envy her who has never met!

Princess Leping has the most regret in her heart: in this way, after Li Yunlong marries a wife, he must be a model husband who values love and righteousness. Hey, it's a pity that we don't have a chance with him in this life!

Empress Hua Yuling angrily argued with Emperor Yongxi, causing the atmosphere in this imperial study to be extremely quiet.

Because he couldn't stop the queen from rushing in just now, it caused Emperor Yongxi to "add new sorrow to the old sorrow". Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, was so frightened that he stood beside him with his head drooped, sometimes peeking at Emperor Yongxi, sometimes at the queen mother. There was a nervous look in his eyes!

Friends who have entered the school absolutely know: Du Bi, a poet of the Northern Qi Dynasty, wrote in "Liang Wen": "But I am afraid that the ape will die in the Chu country, the forest will be ruined, the city gate will be on fire, and the pond fish will be affected." ”。 What's more, who doesn't know that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" throughout the ages? Hey, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, is caught between Emperor Yongxi and Empress Hua Yuling at the moment. How can you be happy?

However, what Gonggong Li heard next was still the voice of the queen's mother: Your Majesty, that Li Yunlong is really a thing that doesn't know how to lift. You set up a feast in the palace to entertain the new imperial examiners with excellent results, and he dared to take the opportunity of the monarch and ministers to drink tea and chat after the banquet. I hand you a wedding invitation and invite you and me to attend his and Wang Jinhua's wedding banquet. It's so hateful, it should be killed!

Immediately afterwards, the second princess Heping took up the conversation: Father, Li Yunlong, this is a Ming Jun who "pities talents". Before you dare to "blatantly" look down on the heirs of the royal family, you quickly ordered eight "guards with knives in front of the emperor" to go to northern Jiangsu and arrest him and his family----

When Emperor Yongxi heard this, he put down Li Yunlong's wedding card with a "snap" and shouted: Emperor, as the saying goes, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world." You are a woman, how can you know the difficulties of governing the world? If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. I hope you don't talk anymore!

Just now, when Empress Hua Yuling scolded Li Yunlong. Emperor Yongxi was just hindered by her handsome appearance and good at using charming techniques to shock his heart. I can't bear to be angry with her!

Now, the little girl who stirred up the trouble was peaceful. He even shouted for him to give an order, ordering eight "guards with knives in front of the emperor" to go to the Li Mansion in northern Jiangsu to arrest people. sentenced him to the crime of "exterminating the nine tribes",

As the king of a country, Emperor Yongxi, when he thought of the little daughter Heping, who was the second princess of the East Palace, he didn't know the hard work of being his father. The distress in his heart couldn't help but deepen, how could he not feel: very tired and tired?
