Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something again, turned his head and ordered the eunuch, "Invite Master Sun and Master Yuan to participate in the Wu Dynasty." ”

The ones who can make Tianqi call "teacher" but not name are Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, famous ministers in the late Ming Dynasty.

Now, Sun Chengzong's official position is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, assisting in the management of the Zhan Mansion. At the same time, Sun Chengzong, as the son of Zuo, was also responsible for teaching the Emperor of the Apocalypse, also known as the "Lecture Feast".

Yuan Keli acted as the acting political envoy of Zuo Tongzheng and became the emperor's servant of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Houjin attacked Liaodong, Shenyang and Liaoyang fell successively, and Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, committed suicide.

Subsequently, the imperial historian Fang Zhenru asked Sun Chengzong to replace Cui Jingrong as the secretary of the military department, and the ministers of the court and the central government also thought that Sun Chengzong knew about military affairs, and recommended Sun Chengzong to add a squire to the military department to preside over the defense of Liaodong.

But Emperor Tianqi didn't want Sun Chengzong to leave the chair, and he didn't agree to it twice.

As for Yuan Keli, although his reputation is not as great as Sun Chengzong's, Zhu Youxiao knows that he is a teacher, which is quite awesome.

Now, Zhu Youxiao invited Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to participate in the court meeting, and he already had the opportunity to familiarize the teacher with side affairs and prepare to entrust him with important tasks.

First of all, Zhu Youxiao's goal was Zhang Heming, the secretary of the current military department.

Wang Huazhen fell into Guangning, and a lot of responsibility is also on Zhang Heming. If it weren't for his extreme trust in Wang Huazhen, a mediocre talent, and constraining Xiong Tingbi everywhere, the Battle of Guangning might not have been a fiasco.

Zhu Youxiao arranged everything, stroked his forehead and thought for a long time before instructing Wang Tiqian: "List all the official generals in Liaodong, and I will see it at night." ”

"The slave obeys." Wang Tiqian saw that there was still an errand, and knew that the emperor still used himself, and the anger in the morning would be over.

Zhu Youxiao snorted, and then struck again: "Remember, you are my slave." ”

Wang Tiqian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor taught me a lesson, and the slave and maid will always remember it, and I don't dare to ...... it again."

"Alright, let's go on an errand!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand impatiently, "Let me be quiet for a while." ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Tiqian kowtowed again before getting up to run an errand.

Checks and balances are necessary, even if you want to use Wei Zhong's dog to bite people, you can't let his family dominate. At the helm of the harem will be the just-appointed queen Zhang Yan, not Wei Zhonggou and the Hakka family.

Therefore, the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem can't all be subdued by Wei Zhonggou, and they can let him command at will. As for the Hakka family, Zhu Youxiao also thought about it, and found an opportunity to send her out of the palace.

Leaning in the chair, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were half-open and half-closed, thinking about his life. finally became an emperor, so naturally you have to enjoy it, but you can't just live for seven years.

The boat must not be sitting, and any rivers, lakes and seas, even if they are small blisters, are far away.

As long as you don't have a short life, it should be no problem to work in the position of emperor for decades, right?

Well, now there are only three concubines, how can this be enough! With our fierce manhood, at least the flop will not be the same for a month, then it is called a beautiful zizi!

In the cranky thinking of the sea and the sky, Zhu Youxiao didn't know when he entered a state of confusion and seemed to be asleep.

……………

Wei Zhongxian nominally went to deliver the decree, but after running out, he handed over the messenger to his cronies and eunuchs, and he hurried to the Xian'an Palace and met the old man with a hospitable family.

The Hakka usually lived in Xian'an Palace, and came to the bedroom of the Emperor of the Apocalypse early at dawn every day, and when the Emperor of the Apocalypse got up, he would accompany him in front of the car until it was dark before returning to his residence. The content she is busy with every day is the diet of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor honestly ate the food cooked in Guanglu Temple, so Guanglu Temple was a fat shortage.

"Ming Huidian" recorded: Fan Sui sent 100,000 animals to Guanglu Temple: 50,000 in the first half of the year, and 50,000 in the second half of the year.

There are more than 100,000 livestock, to be specific, among them, there are almost 20,000 pigs alone, and there are nearly 40,000 chickens.

But the "imperial meal" made by Guanglu Temple for the emperor to eat, there is nothing strange about the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it is just big fish and meat, and then it is boiled and boiled and seasoned.

Many people are not very familiar with the things made in this way, yes, they are the legendary canteen dishes.

And among the people, there is also a legend that Guanglu Temple cooks unpalatablely.

"Wanli Ye Shu Compilation" recorded the "four unreliable in Beijing" that was popular in Beijing at that time: the article of the Hanlin Academy, the sword and gun of the Arsenal, the tea soup of Guanglu Temple, and the prescription of the Tai Hospital.

Among them, "Guanglu Temple Tea Soup" was honorably listed, which shows how unpalatable the food of Guanglu Temple is.

Even the people's complaints about the food in Guanglu Temple are so enthusiastic, can the emperor still stand the worse and worse cooking level of Guanglu Temple?

In addition, since Emperor Jiajing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not very happy to go to the court, and stayed in the deep palace every day. Therefore, the emperor's dinner in the late Ming Dynasty was generally made by the eunuch department.

Don't you think it's a little strange that the master of ceremonies and the father-in-law of the East Factory are multi-skilled and can cook?

Of course, it is not the father-in-law of Dongchang who cooks the dishes himself, but the chefs under the eunuchs who are really responsible for handling the imperial meal.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty held great power, and they had no idea of leaving their wealth to their children and grandchildren, so they had to spend a large amount of silver to satisfy their appetites.

Therefore, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were obsessed with food, the so-called "when they sit and eat...... Eat together to be full, eat and bite bones...... List the fruits, drink tea and sit for a long time, or strive for perfection and win".

Moreover, they have tricky tastes, which are not something that ordinary cooks can satisfy.

Because of this, the imperial meal hosted by the eunuchs is more in line with the emperor's wishes. So these cronies and eunuchs arranged for the emperor's meals.

In the Jiajing period, it was generally the people who were in charge of cooking, and in the late Wanli period, there was no one in the ceremonial supervisors, so the imperial meals of the Wanli Emperor were made by the eunuchs in charge of the Qianqing Palace.

In addition to cooking, there are also "Imperial Wine Room", "Sweet Room", "Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau" and other institutions in the palace, which are also undertaken by eunuchs.

The food made by these departments is very famous in the government and the opposition. For example, the pickled gourd eggplant in the wine room and the silk nest tiger's eye candy made in the sweet room are all appetizing delicacies.

When he arrived at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the food in the palace was taken by Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian, and Li Yongzhen, and several great eunuchs took turns to take over, plus the perennial Hakka family, a total of four.

Each family had hundreds of kitchen servants outside the court, making food and making wine, vinegar, sauce and other things.

In the Qianqing Palace, there are dozens of attendants in red clothes in each family, plus the internal officials of the soup bureau, the meat bureau, the vegetarian bureau, the dim sum bureau, the dry dish bureau, the hand box bureau, the cold soup bureau, the water and food bureau, and the food feeding bureau, all of which are dispatched by the Hakka family.

The meal supervised by the Hakka family was called "Old Lady's Family Meal", and Emperor Tianqi was very satisfied. Especially the "dragon eggs" cooked by the Hakka family, the Emperor of the Apocalypse liked to eat them very much, and was "amazed".
