Chapter 27 Hidden Merit and Fame Twenty-Seven
Zhan Xiaoxiao, as Qin Tai's wife and assistant, is also worried that her husband Qin Tai will have concerns. But after she found that her husband Qin Tai not only did not flinch, but instead lit up the blazing eyes that she hadn't seen for many years, Zhan Xiaoxiao was finally relieved. In fact, Qin Tai and his wife already knew that no matter whether they won or lost this time, they might not be able to leave, anyway, it was already like this, it was better to play a big game desperately, so that the people of the world and the princes could see the true skills of their husband and wife.
Qin Tai asked King Han, who was presiding over the meeting, for something, the first was the chair they were sitting on, so they couldn't let them stand and talk. From this moment on, Qin Tai and his wife and Qiu Xiaoqiu regarded these most honorable people as ordinary viewers and listeners, and their momentum and posture had changed. Second, Qin Tai needed a larger table, and put the table and chairs in the center of the Taihe Hall meeting, so that everyone could see clearly. Third, Qin Tai needed everyone not to interrupt his statement. King Han had no choice but to agree to Qin Tai's requests one by one.
When the tables and chairs were brought and placed in the center of the Taihe Palace, Qin Tai asked his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to put the jar on the table, and the porcelain bowl and spoon in Qiu Xiaoqiu's hand were also placed on the table. In the end, Qin Tai found an open space on the table and put down the information in his hand. Although everyone doesn't know what these things are for, from the careful appearance of Qin Tai and his wife, they must be important evidence or something related to the case.
Qin Tai asked his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao and his cousin Qiu Xiaoqiu to sit down, and he walked to the most central place of the Taihe Hall alone. He glanced at everyone and said, "Now I'm going to talk about flowers." Please do not interrupt me at will, as it would not only be rude but would affect the conclusion of the case I am presenting. The emperor once said that this case allows me to solve the case independently, and no one has to obstruct or destroy it for any reason. Otherwise, according to the law of Da Ming, I can send this person to the execution table. Even the princes can't rely on their status to come in front of so many people, otherwise even if I can't kill people with my low status, this prince will be ruined. ”
Qin Tai's words immediately made the princes talk about it, although Qin Tai's words were not good, but they were very reasonable, these princes could play scoundrels here with the little emperor, but they could not lose face in front of the world's ministers and ordinary people. Otherwise, how will the family live in the future? How will you socialize with other people in the future? Will it be looked down upon by other vassal kings or clan relatives? The princes have plans in their hearts, as long as Qin Tai is not too much, no one is willing to stand up and be the first to accuse Qin Tai.
Qin Tai looked at everyone with satisfaction, and then said, "Before I tell the outcome of the case, I want to talk about two things first. Because these two things are very important, they are related to the determination of the outcome of the case and the life and death of the princes. Please don't interrupt me at will, and when I'm done, I'll give you a chance to ask questions. ”
Qin Tai motioned to his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to open the first jar, and Zhan Xiaoxiao gently uncovered the jar on the left hand. When the jar was opened, everyone smelled a strange smell, as if it was a little stinky, no, very stinky. These noble royal relatives had never seen such a thing, and some even suspected that it was poop. Only one prince's face suddenly changed, and he stepped back as if he had seen something terrible. This prince is a vassal king, and he is the king of Chu of the little emperor's uncle.
Qin Tai said: "King Chu, there is no need to hide back. You know this thing, don't you? Have you ever seen, no, you've eaten this thing yourself? ”
The king of Chu said with palpitations: "Take away this ghost thing." Be careful, everybody. This thing is called stinky tofu. When I was still a son, I sent my sister to get married, and I tasted it once at my brother-in-law's house. Although it tasted delicious, I soon got itchy and spent a month in bed. The doctor said I couldn't eat this kind of thing, and if I accidentally ate it, it would be life-threatening. ”
Qin Tai saw that everyone was a little unconvinced, so he said, "What King Chu said is right, this thing is stinky tofu." It doesn't taste good when asked, but it tastes good. However, the king of Chu could not accept this delicacy, and there would be side effects if he ate it. In fact, not only the king of Chu, but all the princes here will also have side effects after taking it. ”
Qin Tai's words made everyone, especially the princes, not believe it, although they didn't like to smell this strange smell, they didn't believe that this thing would really have such serious consequences. There were even a few princes and young people who said they wanted to try it for themselves.
Qin Tai asked his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to scoop out a few pieces of stinky tofu with a spoon and put them in a few porcelain bowls brought by Qiu Xiaoqiu, so that everyone could taste the taste. Although these people ate stinky tofu for the first time, they were immediately impressed by the strange taste of stinky tofu. A prince also said that he would go back and eat more, and only when he was full would he enjoy it. But after a while, almost all of the people who ate stinky tofu changed their faces and kept scratching their bodies.
At this time, Qin Tai asked his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao to open the second jar, and the jar emitted a strange smell that was even more disgusting than stinky tofu. Qiu Xiaoqiu couldn't help but scoop out some green juice with a spoon, and Zhan Xiaoxiao poured this thing directly into the stomachs of these people. Strange things happened, and the people who were rolling on the ground and itching all over their bodies immediately stopped itching. When they stood up, they looked at Qin Tai and his wife with strange eyes.
Qin Tai said: "Princes, believe my words. This thing is really harmful to you, and you must not try it lightly. Why is it that others are delicious, but you can't enjoy it? The reason is simple, it is a matter of genetics. Saying that, Qin Tai took out a document and read it to the princes in public. These princes were very concerned about their lives, so everyone, including the little emperor and King Lu, listened very carefully.
Things have to start with Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very bad when he was a child, so he was often hungry. In order to survive, Zhu Yuanzhang once worked as a cattle herding baby and also worked as a monk. So I care a lot about anything that can be eaten, and I don't let go of almost anything that can be eaten. When Zhu Yuanzhang was eleven years old, Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk in a temple, and once the master of the kitchen reluctantly threw some tofu outside. It turned out that these tofu had become stinky tofu because of deterioration, and they were no longer edible, so the master had to ruthlessly throw away the stinky tofu. Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to pick up the stinky tofu and eat it, but he didn't expect that this time he almost killed Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader of the Red Turban Army of the rebel army, he was once separated from the large army. met a few beggars, and the beggar invited Zhu Yuanzhang to eat a hundred family banquet, which was later the famous "pearl white jade jade soup". Zhu Yuanzhang was tired and hungry at the time, so he ate with relish. The next day, the beggar friend invited Zhu Yuanzhang to eat some beans, which the beggar had saved with great difficulty, and the beggar himself was reluctant to eat them. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang fell ill again after eating, and the beggar didn't know what to pour Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Yuanzhang recovered. After these two crises, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to eat tofu or beans anymore, and later he found that it was okay to eat the usual tofu or beans. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne as emperor, local officials often sent some local delicacies to Zhu Yuanzhang. The imperial doctor didn't know anything about Zhu Yuanzhang's condition, but fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to find the beggar, and the beggar said that he used a jar of mustard soup to cure Zhu Yuanzhang's illness. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to make mustard soup immediately, although it tasted bad, it really worked.
In order to thoroughly understand the cause of Zhu Yuanzhang's illness, the imperial doctor once again asked Zhu Yuanzhang to eat stinky tofu. Zhu Yuanzhang really fell ill again, and found that eating aged mustard soup was more effective than fresh mustard soup. After the imperial doctor's research, it was found that Zhu Yuanzhang would get sick if he ate moldy soy products, and the antidote was aged mustard soup. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the imperial doctor why he had this disease, and the imperial doctor suspected that this disease was a genetic disease of Zhu Yuanzhang's family. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately let his family test it once, and all those who have blood relatives with Zhu Yuanzhang have the same disease, and Zhu Yuanzhang's wives are fine. Zhu Yuanzhang simply gathered all his children together and did a collective experiment, and the results were very obvious, all Zhu Yuanzhang's children would have the same disease as Zhu Yuanzhang. While admitting the existence of such cases, Zhu Yuanzhang determined the blood relationship between his children and himself. Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision that all descendants of the royal family surnamed Zhu were not allowed to eat moldy soy products. At the same time, a sentence was mentioned in the secret file, "The person who eats moldy soy products and gets sick is not necessarily the descendants of the royal family surnamed Zhu." The descendants of the royal family surnamed Zhu will definitely get sick if they eat moldy soy products. The key to relieving the onset of the disease is aged mustard soup. ”
