Zheng Xiu had just finished killing people at this time, and before he could change the clothes on his body, he was ordered to go to the imperial garden to meet the empress.

He didn't mind, anyway, everyone was killed, his face was wiped off, and there was a little blood on his clothes, so he couldn't blame himself, right?

At this time, Li Yuan's godson led Zheng Xiu.

"Presumably you are Lord Zheng Xiuzheng, my godfather mentioned you to me, saying that you are a strange person who has not been born in my Great Xia for a hundred years!"

Zheng Xiu remembered that this person was a little eunuch who was with him when Li Yuan came to the prison that day.

What's it called, it seems to be a small mat?

Although the other party has been filming Zheng Xiu's sycophants along the way, Zheng Xiu is still a little drowsy when he listens.

Without him, it was really because what this little eunuch said was too boring and boring, and it was all empty words.

Don't say put it on Zheng Xiu, even if it's on a dog, it sounds like that.

Just by means of slapping on the back, this little eunuch is far inferior to his godfather Li Yuan.

When the two of them arrived at the gate of the imperial garden, the eunuch named Xiao Xi respectfully retreated.

I was walking along a winding path, and by the way, I was observing if there were any three crops that were systematically said around.

It's just that until he entered the empress's field of vision, he didn't find the plant he wanted.

"Zheng Qing, come and do it."

At this time, the empress was sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and there were delicious delicacies on the table.

Even Zheng Xiu, who has seen countless beauties, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Aiqing is still stunned, do you need me to invite you personally?"

While joking, the empress patted the seat next to her and motioned for Zheng Xiu to come and sit.

Zheng Xiu also knew that he was out of order, so he confessed.

"Along the way, there is no such gorgeous flower in the minister's life, and there is no such exquisite food in the minister's life. Therefore, when he saw this scene, he was shocked, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time, and asked the empress to atone for his sins. ”

"I didn't expect that my Zheng Aiqing would not even be afraid of death, but would she lose her mind because of these beautiful flowers? Sit down, today we only talk about family affairs, not state affairs. ”

As she spoke, the empress took a green vegetable and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

When Zheng Xiu saw the appearance of the empress, he also added a green vegetable and put it in his mouth, and chewed it like the empress.

"This dish is made with the heart of a boiled tree, and it is stir-fried from the heart of a tree that is over 160 years old."

"Even if it's me, I am generally reluctant to eat it, and today's plate uses at least twenty Xuanmu that are more than one hundred and sixty years old."

It tastes really good, it's just too little.

After the empress finished introducing, she picked up a shortbread ball and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully.

After Zheng Xiu also picked up a piece, the empress began to explain the dish.

"This dish is sharp mullet roe, mullet roe must have been practiced demonic energy, it can be said that it can be met but not sought."

"This small plate is already a delicacy that I've been waiting for years."

As she spoke, the empress clipped another one.

The taste of this dish is really good, fresh and delicious, the soup overflows in one bite, and the aftertaste is long and endless.

Zheng Xiu also added another one.

And then there was one left in the set.

Zheng Xiu directly took advantage of the fact that the empress was still savoring, and put the last one in his bowl.

And when the empress wanted to clip it again, she found that there was no more, and the culprit was the person she had entertained.

Why is he so ignorant, doesn't he know that he should eat his own leftovers after he has eaten himself?

Didn't the eunuch who had just brought him in taught him?

But she really wants to eat another sharp mullet roe, a delicacy that can not be found.

As if seeing the empress's gaze, Zheng Xiu directly picked up the last mullet roe and put it in his mouth.

Not to mention, it is worthy of being a food that makes the empress worry about it, it is indeed very delicious.

When the empress saw Zheng Xiu's satisfied look, she instantly became a little angry, and she didn't bother to introduce those who didn't have it to Zheng Xiu.

Shake off your cheeks and start eating wildly.

It's just that Zheng Xiu's speed of eating is obvious to all, even if the empress doesn't care about eating very much, but she only eats one-third of a table of dishes.

This made the empress a little suspicious of herself, she was already a master of the second grade of martial arts, and she was even one step away from stepping into the first grade of martial arts.

Just haven't robbed a minister of Wendao Wupin?

Could it be that because I haven't done it for too long, my kung fu is a little slack?

"Alright, walk with me in this imperial garden."

As she spoke, the empress took the lead in the front, and Zheng Xiu looked at the bottom of these clean plates, and followed.

"Do you know why I entertained you alone today?"

Who knows, it can't be because you can't eat too much rice alone, and then you remember that my rice bucket is here, right?

Of course, this kind of thing is what Zheng Xiu thinks in his heart, and he can't really say it, otherwise it will be the sin of killing his head.

"Your Majesty, I don't know." After Zheng Xiu finished speaking, he continued to look for his three crops in the empress's imperial garden.

"Aiqing, I want to tell you that the current Great Xia Dynasty became like this, not overnight. Emperor Taizu started as a civil servant, so whether it is in terms of policy or law, he is often open to civil officials. ”

"Those civil officials rely on the ancestral teachings, whenever they encounter problems, they take care of him left and right, and use the ancestral teachings to speak, the monarchs of all dynasties have a headache for this kind of thing, but there is nothing they can do, after all, the civil servants are also a very important part of the Great Xia court."

"But you Zheng Xiu don't think about it so much now, first scolding the civil and military ministers, and then collecting criminal evidence, putting these things on the surface, so that I have to administer justice for this matter."

"Now that you have killed a lot of Wenchen in Great Xia, and most of the rest are also in prison, have you considered what to do with the shortfall of these official positions?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister didn't think about it."

Very well, if you think about it, I won't be able to use my backhand.

"It's okay, Aiqing, I've already thought about it, I have protected some loyal ministers and direct ministers before, and let them return to their hometowns and wait for the opportunity. Some dissidents and people with different ideas who were excluded by the civil officials were also arranged in the prison by me, and they would not lack clothes and clothing. If I am forging an auspicious fortune and opening an Enke, then these newly recruited officials, as well as the previous ones, can perfectly make up for these shortfalls. ”

The empress said a lot, but she found that Zheng Xiu had been looking around, and she hadn't listened to him at all, so she couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

After all, this banquet is for you to buy people's hearts, and now I will talk about the most critical place, but you are looking around over there.

How can you let me buy you?

Thinking of this, the empress suddenly asked, "Where did I just go?" ”
