More than 200 ministers were meditating in the courtyard of the Wuying Palace, under a bright sun, the sun was unbearable, and their throats were smoking.

There were a few ministers who were relatively weak and couldn't stand it, and they seemed to be suffering from heat stroke, and they fainted as if they were hungry, and they were unconscious.

In order to avoid death, Ran Min arranged for people to rescue, pinched people, and woke people up, and after they had to go back to the courtyard to continue meditation.

When the time entered the unitary, Ran Min estimated that it was about six o'clock in modern times, and then asked the Yuqing Zhenren to retreat.

Seeing that the Yuqing people were gone, the ministers were so moved that they almost cried bitterly.

This old man is such a pest, listening to him talk here all day, his ears are calloused. It's just a matter of listening to him chanting the scriptures, and he has to meditate on a hungry stomach and practice what kind of bullshit Bigu technique!

At this time, all the ministers set their eyes on Ran Min.

"Zhuqing, are you all hungry?" Ran Min asked fakely.

Nonsense, from the hour to the hour of the unitary, after a full five or six hours, eleven hours without eating or drinking, can this person not starve?

The courtiers were hungry and their eyes were green, and they almost fell to the ground, very pitiful.

Ran Min smiled and said, "Come on, bring the pearl jade and white jade soup specially prepared by me for the ministers!" ”

Afterwards, a group of guards came up carrying a bucket of porridge and soup, and a team of guards was responsible for distributing a bowl to each of these ministers. The guards took out a spoonful of porridge and soup from the bucket and put it in the bowl.

This bowl of porridge soup is hot and has a faint aroma.

The hungry and hungry ministers didn't care whether the porridge soup fished out of the bucket was clean or not, and directly swallowed the dates, and hurriedly sent the so-called "pearl jade and white jade soup" to their mouths to drink.

The sound of "grunting" rang out non-stop.

"Delicious! It's delicious! ”

"It's really delicious! Here, serve me another bowl! ”

"This bowl of porridge is better than countless bear's paw abalone!"

After eating a bowl of pearl jade and white jade soup, the ministers still felt that they were still unsatisfied, and they were not half full, so they asked these guards to serve another bowl.

When they had almost eaten and almost relieved their breath, Ran Min calmly asked, "Zhuqing, this pearl jade and white jade soup is delicious, right?" ”

"Delicious! Delicious! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

The ministers all began to bow to Ran Min and flattered him.

Of course, they have a lot of resentment towards Ran Min in their hearts, but the situation is stronger than people, and it is not good to serve under the hands of such a wise and martial emperor.

When Ran Min heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "This pearl jade white jade soup is really good, and you didn't waste it, you drank it all one by one." But someone hasn't eaten yet, right? Come on, give pearl jade white jade soup again! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers began to be grateful to Ran Min again, and sang praises of virtue.

At this moment, the guards came up with a bucket of porridge and water, and filled each minister's bowl with it.

But this time, the pearl jade and white jade soup is not the same at all, not only is it disgusting to look at, but even the porridge in the bowl exudes a foul smell, like the taste of swill......

"Drink? How not to drink! Ran Min blew his beard and glared.

Seeing that Ran Min seemed impatient, the ministers swallowed their saliva, ruthlessly, and drank the "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" in the bowl in one gulp.

"Poof!" As soon as he took his mouth, the minister who drank it couldn't help but vomit, vomiting everywhere, and even staining the clothes of the people in front of him.

"Gross!" The ministers began to retch, or simply pick their throats.

Seeing that some ministers didn't drink it, Ran Min said coldly: "Anyone who doesn't drink this bowl of pearl jade and white jade soup will pull down and hit the thirty big boards with a cane!" ”

Do you want to take a plate or drink "pearl jade white jade soup"?

Of course, I don't want to be hit by the board!

Cui Hao had no choice but to pinch his nose and drink this bowl of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup", but just after he entered it, he also spit it out, retching nonstop, tears and snot fell down, so pitiful.

Almost all the ministers present looked like this, and even the generals Li Nong, Wei Liao, Ran Ke and others couldn't stand the sour taste.

Is this something that people eat?

Ran Min did not force the ministers to finish drinking the "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" in the bowl, but tasted it lightly and tasted it.

"Tell me, how does it taste?"

The ministers were silent.

Cui Hao got up with a bitter face and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the pearl jade and white jade soup this time is okay and tastes beautiful, but this time the pearl jade and white jade soup is not only ugly, but also smelly, just like ...... It's like swill. ”

"That's right! Your Majesty, this is really not for human food! ”

"There is such an unpalatable thing in the world!"

Hearing these words, Ran Min sneered and said, "Well said! But I might as well tell you, this is what man eats! Do you know the difference between the two types of pearl jade and white jade soup? It's the difference in the ingredients! The former is just some plain dishes, while the latter is a great tonic, and they are all rare ingredients! ”

"......" The ministers were all stunned, and looked at Ran Min with a confused expression.

Ran Min said again: "The previous kind of pearl jade and white jade soup is just made by taking tofu cubes, spinach, red roots and green leaves together, pouring leftover rice and boiling. This is a very ordinary dish in the people's homes, even in the ordinary Shengdou people's homes. But Zhu Qing tastes like a delicacy in the world, yes or no? ”

"Yes!" The ministers all nodded.

"The latter kind of pearl jade white jade soup is boiled with swill water in a swill bucket. So you all threw up. ”

Hearing this, the ministers were stunned for a moment at first, and then lowered their heads again, and began to pick their throats and retch, and they were all over the place, which was really miserable.

Ran Min shook his head and said, "Zhuqing, I am not deliberately violating you. I am doing this just to explain to you a fact! When people are hungry, they eat everything, and if they can have a bite to eat, it is delicious in the world! This point is not exempt from vulgarity even for you princes and ministers, who often eat big fish and meat on weekdays. ”

"And what about this swill? It was only after you were half-full that you ate it, and that's why you hated it so much that you vomited it. But you know, he who is hungry eats everything. During the great drought in Guanzhong last year, I saw with my own eyes that the hungry victims ate Guanyin soil and tree bark, ate them cleanly, and even ate everything from Yizi. ”

"At this time, if you give the swill to the victims of Guanzhong at that time to eat, will they eat it? Yes, absolutely! Because it will keep them alive! ”

After a pause, Ran Min said with great grief: "I hope you can go to the people more, take a look, and get in touch with the people at the bottom, instead of sitting in the temple every day and not knowing how difficult the people's livelihood is." Among you, there are many ministers who like to waste extravagantly, and some of them have not even touched them, but have thrown them directly into the swill bucket, what a wasteful act? ”

"It's really Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road! I'm ashamed of you! Ran Min said indignantly: "Why are there so many leftovers? If you can't eat so much, you can tell the kitchen to cook less, if you can't finish eating, you can give it to your subordinates, or give it to the beggars outside, or feed it to the dogs! ”

Hearing Ran Min say this, the ministers were really ashamed and embarrassed.

"That's all I want to say. From today onwards, we will be strict in our frugality, starting with me, starting with you, and if I find out that you or the officials in various places are extravagant and wasteful, I will definitely punish you severely! Punished for dereliction of duty! ”

The ministers were silent for a while.

Qin Mu couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Your Majesty, you won't issue another ban on alcohol, and you won't allow us officials to eat good food and wine, right?" ”

"Of course not."

Ran Min smiled and said, "If you have the conditions, you can still continue to eat bear's paws, shark fin, puffer fish or something." But there is one thing, don't waste it! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Hearing that the wine and food can continue to be enjoyed, the ministers are relieved, if they can't eat these good things if they have the conditions, then why are they so tired?

Ran Min said again: "Also, in order to punish you, I decided to punish you for half a year. Send these to the orphans of the martyrs! ”

The ministers had nothing to say about this. After all, everyone doesn't rely on this to eat......
