Xiang Yan, who got an official position, is now an official of the imperial court.

Early the next morning!

Xiang Yan wore a brand-new official uniform and followed Xiang Guozhong to the court!

"Little stone, you must remember what I said, try to speak as little as possible in the court, listen more and do more."

Xiang Guozhong was still a little uneasy, and told him again.

Xiang Yan was a little irritable when she heard it!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiang Guozhong was his cheap father, he would have started fighting a long time ago.

"I know, I know, you've said it many times, and I remember it all."

Xiang Guozhong nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Yes, this is Daddy's good son, and the disaster comes from the mouth."

"You must remember these four words, and you don't want to be long-winded with your father, who has been in the officialdom for so many years."

"It's not unreasonable to be able to keep on the rise, this is Dad's magic weapon to win."

"You must remember the little stone."

Xiang Yan reluctantly gouged out her ears, indicating that she had memorized them.

In order to make the roots of his ears clearer, Xiang Yan waited for Xiang Guozhong to finish speaking, and hurriedly walked away.

Xiang Guozhong looked at Xiang Yan's back and said to himself:

"The old man's son has finally grown up, and he has lived up to his mother's expectations, and the little stone has finally come out."

Finished!

Xiang Guozhong hurriedly followed.

There is nothing important to say about today's court meeting, only Shen Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said:

"Your Majesty, today the envoys of the Western Regions sent a letter to the Ministry of Rites, saying that they had paid a good tribute to Your Majesty."

The military strength of the Great Zhou is strong!

The territory is huge!

Every year, a large number of foreign envoys pay tribute.

And the Great Zhou is tolerant and open, and there are more than 100,000 foreigners in the capital alone.

Zhao Longji behaved more open-mindedly in front of these aliens.

Thereupon!

He allowed these aliens to take the imperial examinations!

Qualified to enter the court as an official!

So!

Xiang Yan can often meet many foreign faces in the palace or other government institutions.

Hearing that another foreign envoy paid tribute, Zhao Longji waved his hand and said:

"Since the envoys of the Western Regions intend to come, of course I can't chill the hearts of the ministers."

"This matter is approved, summoned to the temple."

After Shen Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, received the decree!

Then he withdrew from the Jinluan Palace and greeted the envoys of the Western Regions!

After a while, five envoys from the Western Regions dressed in national costumes, with fair skin, yellow hair and blue eyes, came in.

An envoy with a plate in his hand!

The leading alien said in a long central dialect:

"Oh, my dear majesty, we are envoys from the Persian Empire, this time visiting the Great Zhou."

"Our king specially asked me to bring coffee beans for His Majesty to drink."

The envoy said!

Just take the coffee that has been ground in your hand, and the original coffee that has been brewed, plus the coffee beans!

Presented in front of Zhao Longji together.

Among the civil and military officials present, except for Xiang Yan, no one else, including Zhao Longji, had ever heard of coffee beans.

Xiang Yan stood in the crowd and bowed her head and laughed wildly.

No bad luck!

I really want to come to something.

This is God thinks that he Xiang Yan has not made enough money?!

He found so many good things for him to use his talents that had been leading for many centuries!

After hearing such a thing as coffee, the civil and military officials all look at me, I look at you, I don't know what it is!

Zhao Longji took the one handed over by Wang Fuguo!

Coffee that has already been brewed!

He picked it up and sniffed it, and found that the brown coffee didn't smell good.

Not to mention!

It's for Zhao Longji to enjoy and taste!

Zhao Longji picked up a pinch of ground coffee again, put it on his fingertips and rubbed it, and found that it was as delicate as powder!

But he could smell the bitterness quite clearly.

Zhao Longji said to Wang Fuguo:

"You can taste it for me."

Wang Fuguo bowed and said:

"Minion, let's taste it."

Taste it for the King!

This is an indispensable job as a close eunuch.

Wang Fuguo did not hesitate at all, picked up the coffee cup and raised his head to take a big sip, quite a strong man's pride in drinking.

Everyone present took a look!

I hope to see something from Wang Fuguo's face.

The facts did not disappoint everyone present!

Saw!

Wang Fuguo's cup hadn't been put down, his throat hadn't squirmed, and his eyes suddenly opened wide!

His cheeks are bulging!

Click!

The coffee cup in Wang Fuguo's hand slipped and fell to the ground crisp and powerful.

Wang Fuguo tried his best to restrain himself from nausea and wanted to vomit!

Cover your mouth tightly with your hands.

Ultimately!

In order not to disgrace His Majesty in front of foreign envoys!

Wang Fuguo was extremely difficult, and swallowed the coffee in his mouth little by little!

After drinking!

Wang Fuguo blushed and bent down.

Seeing this, the envoy of the Western Regions hurriedly bent down and saluted:

"Oh my God, I forgot to tell Your Majesty, the coffee should be sipped slowly, the coffee is bitter, but refreshing."

After hearing this, Zhao Longji turned his head to look at Wang Fuguo and asked softly:

"What does it smell like? How does it feel? ”

Wang Fuguo is finally a little more stable now, but the bitterness in his mouth is still uncomfortable.

He bent down and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, this coffee is indeed bitter and unbearable, and as for refreshing your mind, this minion hasn't discovered it yet."

After Zhao Longji saw Wang Fuguo's appearance when he drank coffee, he was not very optimistic about coffee in his heart.

But in order to show their own great power atmosphere!

Zhao Longji said to the Persian envoys:

"I don't know if it's troublesome to make hemp, can I let all my courtiers taste it?"

The Persian envoy arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, of course you can, as long as you like it, these things are not a problem."

So, under the permission of Zhao Longji, the Persian envoys grinded coffee beans and brewed coffee on the spot in front of the envoys in the Jinluan Palace.

There were more than 100 officials and officials present!

However, the amount made by the Persian envoy was also sufficient, and everyone present could get a small cup!

Then!

Xiang Yan stared intently at the actions and methods of the Persian envoys making coffee.

Xiang Yan was dismissive!

He couldn't stop muttering in his heart:

"This method is really too primitive, it destroys the taste of the coffee too much."

"I didn't add the right amount of coffee when I brewed it, and I didn't take enough time to brew it, so I couldn't bring out the taste of the coffee at all."

Xiang Yan complained a few words in her heart, and finally summed it up:

Nowadays, although people have discovered the value of coffee, they cannot give full play to the value of coffee.

No one of Xiang Yan's time would enjoy it at all!

Now these princes and nobles are not as rich in daily pleasures as ordinary people in his world.

At last!

Coffee is finally a small cup for everyone!

And everyone has learned from Wang Fuguo's past, so now no one wants to speak first.

They all chose to wait and see, waiting for the people around them to try.

Then!

Zhao Longji saw that everyone had no intention of drinking, so Long Yan said angrily:

"What's going on with Zhong Aiqing? Your envoys have worked tirelessly to make coffee in front of you for your enjoyment. ”

"It's good, you don't want to drink it, do you really want to live up to someone's heart?"
