The next day, Zichen Palace, early dynasty.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Ministers are flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I called you here today, there is nothing else, mainly because the war on the frontier is urgent, and there is an urgent need for the use of troops, and Taiwei Chen and Liu Shangshu are the first to bear the brunt of it, and they will contribute to me, and I will remember it."

"Weichen doesn't dare, it's a trivial matter, why don't you worry about the emperor!"

"Taiwei Chen doesn't have to be polite, you and Liu Shangshu have made the greatest contribution this time, and I naturally want to praise you."

"I really don't dare, it is already an honor for a minister to be able to serve the court, how dare I be so loved by the emperor!"

"Liu Aiqing, you are an important minister of the country, and you deserve to be praised for being able to save you from danger in times of crisis."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The reward for the two of you, after the next court, I will send someone to your mansion!"

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

"Two lovers are exempt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"In addition to this, I have good news for you, Xu Lai!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as the ministers heard that there was something good, they began to talk about it.

"A good thing? Why didn't I hear anything?"

"I haven't heard of it either?"

"Captain Chen, have you made new contributions?"

"How can I do so much? Huh? Liu Shangshu, isn't it you?"

"Captain Chen, don't make fun of me, you don't know, how can I know?"

"That's right, but what the hell is it?"

Liu Shangshu gave Chen Taiwei a look, and Chen Taiwei also understood what he meant.

Eventually, he mustered up the courage to come forward and asked, "Your Majesty, the courtiers dare to ask, what is the good thing? Why haven't we heard of it?"

"You don't have to be nervous, you'll find out later."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Lai sent someone to bring a lot of pastries and fruits and sent them to the ministers.

"What is this?" The ministers looked at each other, completely unable to guess the emperor's intentions.

"This is the fruit that I personally prepared for Zhong Aiqing, how do you taste it?"

As for eating, Taiwei Chen was not ambiguous again, he directly picked it up, and then tasted it.

"Oops! It's so delicious!" Before he could say anything, he picked up another.

When the other ministers saw that he was eating so deliciously, they all let go of their restraints and tasted it slowly.

The emperor knew that this was made by Zhang Zezhen, so he naturally wanted to taste it, so he picked up a round chestnut cake and tasted it. whispered to Xu Lai next to him, "Don't say it, Miss Zhang's skills are much stronger than other imperial chefs in the imperial dining room."

"What the emperor said is that this chestnut cake was specially prepared for you by Miss Zhang, she said that eating chestnuts this season is the best tonic, and with Feng Feiyuan, it can relieve your headache."

"Oh? There's Miss Lao Zhang."

The emperor swallowed the last bite, although he still wanted to eat, but he still held back.

"Zhong Aiqing, how does this fruit taste?"

"If you go back to the emperor, who made this fruit? It's so different from what we usually eat in the Imperial Dining Room, it's a heavenly delicacy!"

"Hahaha! It seems that Zhong Aiqing and I have the same taste!"

"Your Majesty! Which chef made this?"

"Zhong Aiqing, don't be impatient, Xu Lai, go and invite this imperial chef out!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a while, Jin Xiliang walked out slowly with Xu Lai's support.

"This, this, isn't this Jin Xiliang?" Liu Shangshu looked at the current person incredulously.

"How is this possible?"

"Liu Aiqing, it's really rare, it's been almost 20 years, and you can still remember Jin Xiliang's appearance, even when I saw him, I almost didn't recognize him

Come!"

"Huh! The emperor doesn't know that the minister has always admired the golden imperial chef very much, he is upright, he stays by the emperor's side, and he is worried about it, this is the heavenly official, and he has always been an example for the minister!"

"I see! Someone! Take a seat at Chef Kim!"

"Could this be the Golden Imperial Chef from twenty years ago?"

"Incredible? How did it become like this?"

"Oh, yes, it's a pity!"

"Your Majesty! The minister has a question."

"Chen Aiqing, please speak."

"How did Chef Jin become like this? How devastated is this compared to 20 years ago?"

"Yes! yes!" The ministers also responded one after another.

"The question asked by Chen Aiqing is exactly what I want to say. In the past 20 years, Jin Yuchu has disappeared as if the world has evaporated. Just a few days ago, Prime Minister Lu suddenly brought it to me, and I learned that the Golden Imperial Chef was actually killed by a female cadre!"

As he spoke, the emperor suddenly patted the dragon chair, stood up and said, "I summoned you here today, and I also hope that you Aiqing can use your ability to catch the person behind this person, and I will be rewarded!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! The ministers live up to expectations! The murderer will be caught!"

"Hmm! This time, please take this matter to heart, if there is something, you can report it directly to Prime Minister Lu, without anyone's consent in the middle."

"Obey!"

"Okay, is there anything else going on with Zhong Aiqing? It's okay, just retreat!"

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to ask."

"Liu Aiqing, please speak!"

"The minister thinks that with the body of the golden imperial chef, it is impossible to make so many pastries and fruits, so the minister wants to ask, which imperial chef can make such delicious food?"

"Liu Shangshu is really a careful person, since you have asked, then I will introduce this imperial chef to everyone."

The emperor gave Xu Lai a look, and Xu Lai immediately understood and went directly to the back kitchen to call Zhang Zezhen out.

The ministers were waiting, and they still looked at Kim Hee-liang from time to time, wondering if this person was real or fake.

In this regard, Jin Xiliang showed an indifferent look, after all, he saw that the person who framed him was in front of him, and in order not to attract people's eyes, he could only pretend not to see it.

"Your Majesty! Miss Zhang is here!"

"Oh? Okay, Zhong Aiqing, now I will officially introduce to you, this is the new chef in the imperial dining room, and she is also the apprentice of Prime Minister Lu, and Zhang Zezhen, the successor of the golden imperial chef!"

Zhang Zezhen just politely saluted the ministers and didn't say much.

Everyone looked at the little girl in front of them, they couldn't believe it, and even thought that the emperor was teasing them.

"This is the new cook? How old is this girl? Are you 20 years old?"

"That's right! Can she be Kim Hee-liang's successor?"

"Although this fruit tastes good, there is no guarantee that other dishes will be the same!"

"That's right, that's right, is the emperor mistaken?"

There was an uproar in the audience, and the emperor saw that the time had come, so he said, "Zhong Aiqing don't have to doubt that the Feng Fei wish the day before yesterday was made by Miss Zhang, and the food on the entire banquet was also made by Miss Zhang herself."

"Huh?"

"Is this true? Can one person cook so many dishes in such a short time?"

"This Feng Fei wish is a royal secret recipe, how can she know about it as a folk woman?"

The emperor looked at Zhang Zezhen and motioned for her to explain to everyone.

Zhang Zezhen nodded and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you please listen to what the folk girl has to say?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience gradually quieted down.

"Thank you for coming early in the morning to taste the cooking of the folk girls. The reason why I made the Feng Fei Wish was because the secret recipe was taught to me by Chef Jin himself. In addition, the folk girl has been fond of cooking since she was a child, so she only learned it for a few hours

and complete the feast."

"How many hours?"

"This girl is too arrogant, isn't she?"

"Miss Zhang, right? I see that you are young, and you are talking wildly, which is not good!"

"My lord, what the people said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Jin Imperial Chef or Prime Minister Lu, they are all my witnesses."

Lu Gaozhi has never spoken from the last dynasty to the present, nor has he participated in the discussion of the ministers, and now that the apprentice wants to prove his ability, he naturally wants to say a word for him. c

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can testify for Zhang Zezhen, it really only took a few hours for her to learn this Feng Fei wish, and it is precisely because of this that I accepted her as an apprentice and taught her some knowledge, so that she can serve the imperial court in the future."

"Since Prime Minister Lu has said so, it should be true."

"It's rare to have such a talent at such a young age!"

"Thank you for your compliments. The folk girl is just a cook, she doesn't understand any big truths, she can only help the emperor solve some trivial problems, compared to the ministers, it is simply not worth mentioning."

"Miss Zhang is humble, after I ate your food, I never had a headache again, and if you solve my problem, it is equivalent to solving the problem of Jiangshan Sheji."

"What the emperor said is very true!"

When everyone was praising Zhang Zezhen, Liu Jun's eyes showed murderous intent and doubt. How is it possible, when I was inspecting the corpse at that time, I obviously saw Jin Xiliang, how did he come out? Could it be a fake?

Liu Jun wanted to know the answer, but he couldn't ask straight to the point, otherwise the emperor would directly point the finger at him, and it seemed that he could only find an opportunity to start with Zhang Zezhen.

Zhang Zezhen also saw Liu Jun's expression and knew that he was the person he was looking for.

"Your Majesty! The minister has something to ask for!"

"Liu Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"The minister also loves this Fengfei wish, since I have eaten it here with you, I have never forgotten it, I wonder if the emperor can let Miss Zhang go to my mansion, so that the minister has the opportunity to taste the delicious food of this world again."

The emperor smiled and said, "It's really rare, Liu Aiqing, a person who doesn't pay much attention to food on weekdays, actually has a soft spot for Feng Feiyuan's dish, since this is the case, I will fulfill your wish and invite Miss Zhang to your house to make this dish."

"Thank you, your majesty, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Hahaha! Flat."

"Imperial Chef Zhang, I'm going to work for you!"

"The maidens obey!"

"Prime Minister Lu, you have to make proper arrangements, don't delay Miss Zhang's affairs in the imperial dining room."

"Your Majesty, rest assured!"

"Okay, let's retreat if there's nothing to do!"

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

Seeing the emperor leaving, the ministers also retreated. When parting, Zhang Zezhen and Liu Jun glanced at each other, and then left separately.

"Chastity! Why are you so risky? Do you have to go toe-to-toe with Liu Jun?"

"Teacher, it's not that I'm taking risks, but that a lot of evidence can only be found from Liu Jun's house."

"We already have a grasp of his situation, wouldn't it be better to let Jin Xiliang identify him directly?"

"But what about the physical evidence?"

"Physical evidence? It is a fact that he framed Kim Hee-liang! What more physical evidence is needed?"

"The disciple felt that his purpose was by no means so simple, and that only by finding physical evidence and revealing his true purpose could he solve this matter."
