Dealing with Cui Jiu's old thief, Yang Chuan always has the illusion of walking a tightrope, even if he has 10,000 more hearts, it doesn't seem to be too much.

Any word, a look, a little clue after acting may make this old thief crawl along the web line and beat him into a pig's head.

It's a terrible feeling.

It's just that Cui Jiu's old thief has a very obvious 'weakness', that is, he is very disciplined, which is basically not seen in Gongsun Hong, Sang Hongyang, Dong Zhongshu and others, and it can be regarded as an excellent quality.

Therefore, Yang Chuan had to use the 'killer move' again: Lao Tzu didn't care about asking for it!

Well, it's almost the sense of 'whoever can go on the day', 'come and come, the pen will give you, and you will write', which is similar to Huo Quai's pretending to be stupid and being stunned, and Cao Xiang's sprinkling and rolling.

Sure enough, on Cui Jiu's old face, those fine wrinkles gradually relaxed, and two faint smiles appeared at the corners of his eyes: "You kid really has the heart to limit the imperial power......"

The old thief sighed, lying flat on Yang Chuan's mazazi for the first time, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his face was slightly tired.

"Uncle Cui Jiu is okay, right?" Yang Chuan asked deliberately with his head sideways.

"I'm fine, it's your kid who will be fine," Cui Jiu sighed and said, "The emperor has high hopes for you, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang;

But at the same time, I am worried that you will grow too fast and will not be able to accumulate any foundation, and after all, you will just become a waste like Tian Wei, the kind of waste that is obviously a waste, but you still don't admit that you are a waste. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said bluntly: "I don't understand." ”

Cui Jiu was not angry, and continued to say slowly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, there are some things, when you grow up, listen more, watch more, and experience more, you will naturally understand."

Yang Chuan, you are very good.

Really, what you have done in the past year or so makes me Cui Jiu look at you differently, if nothing else, you will be the best prime minister of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yang Chuan smiled and said, "Uncle Cui Jiu, you talk more nonsense than me." ”

Cui Jiu smiled indifferently, and suddenly looked sideways at Yang Chuan: "But in fact, your kid is the most suitable for Da Changmen." ”

Yang Chuan silently clamped his legs and sneered: "Ahem, Uncle Cui Jiu, will you eat mutton or sour meat tonight?"

Uncle Cui Jiu, let me tell you a secret, do you know why the pork on my Zhuangzi is better than outside? I'm telling you, it's because ......"

Cui Jiu answered quietly: "That's because they are all castrated, and they are not directly cutting the eggs, but destroying their reproductive things;

This method is good, I will find a few death row prisoners in the dungeon of Tingwei Mansion and try the effect on them, if it can really be completely castrated, the palace people will not have to cut their eggs in the future......"

Yang Chuan was silent with a dark face.

You can't keep up with this old thief's brain circuit, so you will take your words in a few words, and you will be pinched and threatened to death without moving, which is outrageous.

"Why don't you talk nonsense?" Cui Jiu said with a smile, "When I was your age, there were seventy or eighty senior brothers who studied martial arts and harming people together, and later, they all died.

Half of them were killed by my master, a small half were killed by me, and some were killed by others because they were not good at learning and art, in short, they were all dead.

By the way, I'll tell you a secret too;

This position of Dachangmen was established by Emperor Gaozu, ostensibly in charge of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, the messenger of embroidered clothes, and the supervision of civil and military officials; In fact, it is also possible to monitor the emperor and the harem; Your mother-in-law, Chen Ajiao, was abolished by my own hands......"

Yang Chuan's eyelids jumped wildly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and he hurriedly said to forgiveness: "Okay, okay, Uncle Cui Jiu, I was wrong...... Hey, my ears are stuffed with wool? Why can't you see anything?

Whoever is who, Uncle Tangyi, let's continue to make mutton today!

Oh, the first time I had mutton shabu with your Uncle Cui Jiu, it was still in the beacon of the stone barrier, it was that time, you frightened me, and for three or four months, I could only squat and pee;

There's no way, I'm too timid, every time I'm frightened, my little Ding Ding can't get hard at all, hahaha. ”

Cui Jiu was also stunned for Yang Chuan's brazenness and pretending to be deaf and dumb, but the smile on the corner of the old thief's mouth became even stronger.

"Yang Chuan, this time I, Cui Jiu, owe you a favor."

The old thief pondered for a moment, and then said: "However, you are clearly cultivating Legalist disciples in the Tai Academy, not to mention Gongsun Hong and other people who advocate the art of Daomen Huang Lao and Confucian scholars like Dong Zhongshu; Even the emperor may be jealous of you.

You must know that since Emperor Gaozu won the world, he was extremely taboo about the death of Qin's second, and he once sighed more than once, saying that Qin started from the Legalist family, and at the same time was defeated by the Legalist family.

Therefore, for a long time, Shang Ying, Li Si and the like have almost become taboo, and no one dares to talk openly about them in the court. ”

Seeing that the old thief Cui Jiu finally 'opened his heart', Yang Chuan also relaxed a little, and said with a smile: "The death of Qin's second emperor was not caused by Shang Ying and Li Si, it was nothing more than carrying a big black cauldron."

Let Shang Ying, Li Si and others become taboo topics, and it is nothing more than those Confucian scholars who eat people and pull shit to come out by themselves to coax and scare the emperor;

Uncle Cui Jiu, Emperor Gaozu understands very well in his heart, but his old man doesn't bother to expose it at all, otherwise, why does my Han Dynasty advocate the art of Lao Zhuang Xuanhuang, but did not let Confucianism dominate the world?

I'm a good farmer and a good cook, and there are some big truths I don't understand.

But.

I, Yang Chuan, also understand some superficial truths, that is, in a large field, you must not only grow one crop, and several seasonings are usually used in a meal;

Sometimes, in order to promote the vigorous growth of crops, while cutting off some harmful weeds, it is necessary to retain some beneficial weeds, only in this way can we ensure the balance of water and fertilizer in this field, protect the field, and prevent the moisture from being quickly evaporated under the scorching sun;

The same is true for cooking food, after choosing the ingredients and matching the seasonings, the most important thing is to control the heat, so that the meat and vegetable seasonings, sesame oil, etc., maintain a reasonable balance;

By the way, it is necessary to control the heat, not to let the meat and vegetables burn, and not to fry a pot of paste, which is neither beautiful nor delicious......"

Cui Jiu is a smart person, so there are some superficial truths, but he needs to be explained thoroughly and clearly.

Sure enough, the old thief listened very carefully, and always maintained the posture of listening, and his two thin fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of Mazazi.

For a long time, for a long time.

Cui Jiu finally spoke and said, "Old man, I've been taught." ”

As long as it's not fertilization, coughing, as long as it's not frightened......

Yang Chuan said a word in his heart, and his face once again showed harmlessness to humans and animals: "Uncle Cui Jiu, I ask a very serious question, you can refuse to answer, but you must tell the truth." ”

Cui Jiu nodded: "Okay." ”

Yang Chuan hesitated for a few breaths, and asked tentatively: "Da Changmen, do you have to be a car?" ”

Cui Jiu's face stiffened, and he said angrily: "You are in the palace all day long, not only to serve the emperor, but also to serve the queen and nobles, so you are not afraid of causing death?"

Moreover, if you have a large group of children and dozens of relatives, and you are worried, who will let you supervise hundreds of officials, the emperor and the harem with confidence? ”

Yang Chuan exhaled and said very depressedly: "Then forget it, I originally wanted to recommend you the best candidate for Da Nagato." ”

"I know who you're talking about, isn't it Zhang Tang's son Zhang Anshi," Cui Jiu said indifferently, "That kid is too good to be a big Changmen." ”

"Actually, the young people in this world, from the point of view, you Yang Chuan is the most suitable, ruthless, cunning and fickle, the biggest advantage is that you are only greedy for money and not lustful......"

Cui Jiu wanted to continue, but Yang Chuan had already gotten up, pushed open the window, leaned out half of his body and roared angrily: "Who is that, cousin's father, why don't you ...... dinner?"

……

'The Great Changmen of the Han Empire can even supervise the emperor and the harem? ’

Yang Chuan really didn't expect this, he also thought that the Great Changmen, the Tingwei Mansion, and the Embroidered Messenger were all pig-killing knives used by the emperor to monitor the ministers of civil and military affairs.

Unexpectedly, this pig-killing knife, when necessary, turned out to be a 'dragon slaying knife' hanging over the emperor's head?

Regardless of whether this 'dragon slaying knife' has any effect, and whether it will cause the evil consequences of 'eunuchs interfering in politics', this hand alone 'prevents trouble before it happens', so that Yang Chuan has a new understanding of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who created the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

Great.

Yang Chuan guessed that the reason why Da Changmen was able to supervise the emperor and the harem was that Emperor Gaozu must have left other followers and limited the power of Da Changmen, otherwise, wouldn't it be a whole mess?

However, he did not ask in detail, and it turned out that the more he knew about the royal secrets, the sooner he died;

After all, curiosity kills cats......

As soon as Cui Jiu's old thief went out on the front foot, Yang Chuan went to see Princess Nangong on the back foot.

This poor princess of the Han Dynasty lived in the Zhuangzi of Yang Chuan's family, and her daily diet and daily life were carefully planned by Yang Chuan, so her body and bones recovered quickly.

It can be seen with the naked eye that a ruddy color appeared on Princess Nangong's cheeks, and those terrible wrinkles began to slowly disappear; Especially her white hair, which is like a ruined grass, has a tendency to turn black.

Liu Man, Naren Tuoya and Zhang Anshi would come over to accompany them for two or three hours every day, so they were shocked by the changes in Princess Nangong.

These cowards are naturally convinced by the methods of Yang Chuan, the 'teacher'.

In fact, Yang Chuan didn't do anything, but he just carefully matched some dietary prescriptions that had been passed down in later generations according to Princess Nangong's physical condition.

Well, it's almost a bit of a health expert.

In the final analysis, being a cook is sometimes really similar to being a doctor, doing the work of conscience to save lives and help the wounded.

"The Xiongnu Dadan has its own men and horses below, controls the fattest pastures in Mobei, and is also the most powerful tribe; Under the royal court, there are also the king of the left and the king of the right, and under the account there are the king of the left valley and the king of the right valley, the king of this level, and at the same time under the jurisdiction of the royal court;

The left and right Xian kings and the left and right valley kings jointly control the vast areas to the east and west of Dragon City, and the tribes are relatively scattered, but their strength is also extremely strong;

The structure of the Xiongnu royal court is extremely simple, but the efficiency is very high, almost a single order, within a month, can gather 150,000 people to control the strings, this point, than our Han Dynasty all kinds of ramps, constraints, much stronger; ”

"Moreover, if their big order is to organize a big battle, in the next two months, there will be a steady stream of seventy or eighty thousand cavalry......

“……”

When Yang Chuan entered the door, Princess Nangong was telling Zhang Anshi about the Xiongnu royal court, and her expression was quite calm, a bit like a teacher's lecture.

Zhang Anshi listened very carefully, spread out a sheepskin at hand, wrote and drew from time to time, and recorded some key points casually.

Seeing Yang Chuan enter the door, Zhang Anshi was just about to get up, but Yang Chuan waved his hand and signaled him to listen carefully.

Yang Chuan himself, however, walked to the fireplace, made a pot of dandelion tea, and sat quietly aside, stirring gently with a small bamboo stick to make the tea taste faster.

The Han Empire did not have tea yet, which made Yang Chuan very regretful, so he had to try to replace it with some herbs and wild vegetables.

Wild chrysanthemum tea, dandelion tea, bitter buckwheat tea, toon tea, acacia tea...... Unconsciously, he was asked to make seven or eight kinds of 'tea', each of which was quite distinctive.

Green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free, all of which are the best in the world.

For example, this dandelion tea is to dig some dandelion rhizomes that have just sprouted in the field, wash them, and rub them repeatedly in a hot iron pot to remove water and grassy smell.

When various fruits ripen one after another this year, Yang Chuan plans to pour a few more fruit teas, juices and fruit wines.

By the way, the wild watermelon and cantaloupe seeds that Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions have harvested a lot of seeds after planting last year, and they can continue to be cultivated this year......

"Yang Chuan, my son, come, sit next to the second aunt." Princess Nangong had already noticed that Yang Chuan was coming, so she quickly ended the story, and beckoned with a smile.

Yang Chuan took the teapot and tea bowl with a small wooden plate, sat down beside Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said with a warm smile: "I'm disturbing the second aunt's lecture." ”

Princess Nangong shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Just Zhang Anshi, the child, has the heart to record in detail what the palace saw and heard in the Huns, and the two girls Liu Man and Naren Tuoya will fool around;

By the way, go back and let Anshi sort it out, you can send someone to Liu Yu.

He is at war with the Huns, these things should be able to help a little, those embroidered messengers he sent, Yi Zhixian killed some of them, and the remaining part was actually to deliver false news to us. ”

Yang Chuan nodded and gave a deep salute: "Thank you, second aunt." ”

Princess Nangong sighed and said quietly: "Actually, this thank you should be what Liu Yu said to me, but he is busy planning big things all day and night, and this palace is chattering, so I am afraid of delaying his time;

Now, let An Shi sort it out, he can easily understand the Huns, and it should have an effect on his strategic decision-making. ”

Only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

In the end, it is the biological daughter of Emperor Jing, the second sister of Liu Che, and the sister of Princess Pingyang.

"Second aunt, come, take a sip of the dandelion tea I brewed," Yang Chuan offered a bowl of tea and handed it to Princess Nangong's hand, "This dandelion is a good thing, it can be regarded as an excellent medicinal material." ”

Princess Nangong picked up the tea bowl, took a small sip, carefully sipped a few breaths, and said with a smile: "This tastes so good, and some ginseng powder and angelica are added to it......

No, there is even a basket in it? No wonder it's a little sweet. ”

Yang Chuan smiled, poured two more bowls, and pushed one of the bowls to Zhang Anshi: "Anshi, you can also taste it." ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly bowed his hand before picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip.

"Yang Chuan, my son, the taste of the rice in this tea is not right," Princess Nangong said suddenly, "This sweet smell is a bit like the taste of rice basket, but it is clear and refreshing;

Could it be that you have come up with a new kind of basket? ”

Yang Chuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yes, I found that there were too many impurities in the rice basket, sweet with sourness, and the taste was not good, so I simply found a way to remake it."

Second aunt, guess what, what does the re-boiled basket look like? ”

Princess Nangong scolded with a smile: "Little ghost, is this the second aunt who wants to take the school entrance examination?" ”

Having said that, she still picked up the bowl of tea, took a small sip, and held it in her mouth for a long time, with an extremely quiet and peaceful expression on her face, and smiled like a wise man:

"The sweetness in the tea is neither sour nor astringent, extremely pure and thorough, complementing the medicinal properties of dandelion, adding a touch of coolness;"

"Ah, Hongu knows!"

Princess Nangong smiled slightly and said, "The rice basket you re-boiled should be in the shape of an ice cube, crystal clear, can the second aunt guess correctly?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed: "Oh, second aunt, I'm convinced." ”

As he spoke, he took out a box from his sleeve and stuffed it into Princess Nangong's hand: "Second aunt, this thing is really like an ice cube, crystal clear, looking at the sun, and there are colorful apertures, it's really beautiful." ”

Princess Nangong opened the box, fumbled and pinched a piece of 'rock candy', and really looked out the window, using her two empty eye sockets, and 'observed' very seriously for a long time.

Her face was filled with a girlish luster, and she said with a smile: "Yang Chuan, my son, since this rice cake you boiled is like an ice cube, then call it ...... Rock candy? ”

Yang Chuan nodded again and again: "Well, the second aunt likes it, just call it rock candy!" ”

Well, in later generations, this kind of thing crystal clear sugar cubes are really called rock candy.

Looking at Princess Nangong's joyful appearance, Yang Chuan suddenly felt a little dazed, and inexplicably remembered a famous saying: When Shangcang closes a door, it often opens a window for you.

This Nangong princess, why does she feel like she is about to be psychic......
