The fame of the spicy hot pot in Zuixian Lou is increasing day by day, and it has even spread to the palace.

Jiajing meditates all year round, often loses his appetite, and eats a lot of Tao Zhongwenlian's pills, so he is often in a false sense of satiety.

Because those pills have no nutrients, at least they are not rich in protein and amino acids. But there are still various trace elements, and there may be a little Guanyin soil or something, otherwise the pill is not easy to form.

If Tao Zhongwen can live to the next generation, Xiao Feng will definitely pull him as a partner and set up a meal replacement company for weight loss people.

Jiajing is a spicy hot pot that I heard from King Yu. The cause of the incident was Concubine Kang's birthday, and Jiajing planned to surprise Concubine Kang on a whim.

This would never have existed before, because after Jiajing cultivated in Xiyuan, he almost didn't celebrate the birthday of the harem concubines in person, and the nightlife was solved by pulling a little show girl.

But since Xiao Feng straightened Jiajing's perverted habits, the relationship between Jiajing and the harem concubines has been rebuilt, especially Concubine Kang and Concubine Lu Jing, who have the best skills and feelings, have a second spring.

Jiajing didn't inform Concubine Kang, so he quietly returned to the palace with Huang Jin. Huang Jin asked no one in Concubine Kang's palace to make a noise, and Jiajing quietly walked into Concubine Kang's room alone.

As a result, when I was at the door, I heard Yuwang's voice. He came to the palace to pay his mother's birthday greetings, and was bragging to his mother about how delicious the spicy hot pot he ate in Zuixianlou was.

When Yuwang described the deliciousness of meat, fish slices and other things in his mouth after being soaked in spicy red oil, Jiajing accidentally drooled for a moment.

It's just drooling, Jiajing also subconsciously sucked it, and suddenly startled the mother and son in the house.

Concubine Kang hurriedly wiped her saliva with a handkerchief to greet her, while King Yu knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the saliva marks left at the corner of Jiajing's mouth.

Jiajing couldn't get off the stage, and said unhappily: "I don't know how hard to study, at a young age, I only know what kind of system I have become when I eat, drink and have fun!"

That's it, as a prince, you have already been crowned a prince, you have never seen anything in the world, what a spicy hot pot is so exaggerated, it can be seen frivolous!"

King Yu said aggrievedly, "It's really delicious, Liu Shishen said, this is the latest famous dish taught to her by the master, and she can't book a seat in the Drunken Immortal Residence for the past two days!"

I only got a meal through the back door of Liu Shishen, and King Jing is still queuing."

Jiajing frowned: "Why can you go through the back door, but King Jing can't go?" Drunken Immortal Residence still dares to favor one over the other for the two princes?"

Jiajing's words were not said casually, of course he knew that Liu Ruyun listened to Xiao Feng in everything, could it be that Xiao Feng had a favoritism towards the two children?

King Yu smiled: "It was the master who knew about me going through the back door, and the master scolded me, saying that as a prince, I should be cautious in my words and deeds and lead the folk atmosphere.

The matter of going through the back door and plugging is not big in itself, but it will make the people feel that I am not upright enough to control my desires.

Master told King Jing not to learn from me, saying that I had done a frivolous thing in this matter, just like my father's teaching. So King Jing asked his servants to line up."

Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt angry and funny, these two guys are usually not afraid of anyone except themselves, but now they are being trained by Xiao Feng to be obedient.

Jiajing said with a straight face: "Xiao Feng is just a little bit of a slight. In fact, as a prince, he should have the privileges of a prince.

It's nothing, it's just that you look like you've eaten a peach, and it's really frivolous......

Having said this, Jiajing's heart moved. Since it was Xiao Feng's recipe for Liu Ruyun, it wouldn't be handed down in the fairy world.

Thinking about it like this, Jiajing's saliva was about to move again.

Jiajing blasted away King Yu, hugged Concubine Kang and talked, but he kept thinking about the spicy hot pot in his mind.

"If you want to eat something in the evening, you can ask my imperial chef to prepare it for you."

This is grace, although the concubines in the palace and the emperor eat imperial kitchens, but the imperial kitchen and the imperial kitchen are not the same, the emperor has his own small kitchen.

Concubine Kang's brain twitched, and she blurted out: "Spicy hot pot ......"

Then he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Long live forgiveness, the concubine let Zai Ku make trouble, and the concubine is frivolous......

Jiajing licked the corners of her mouth with her tongue and quickly grabbed Concubine Kang's words.

"Today is your birthday, how can I not believe my word? Since Concubine Ai wants to eat, I asked Huang Jin to think of a way."

Concubine Kang really felt that she was frivolous, and hurriedly went back to make up for it.

"No, no, no, long live don't have to bother so much for the concubine, the concubine doesn't want to eat......

Jiajing said with certainty, "No, you want to eat. Huang Jin, go find the Drunken Immortal Building...... No, go to Xiao Feng.

Let's just say that Concubine Kang's birthday, I want to eat spicy hot pot, let him offer a pot."

Huang Jin was embarrassed when he heard that he was going to Zuixianlou to order food, but he was relieved when he heard Jiajing change his words and go to Xiao Feng to ask for it.

How could the emperor order food from the restaurant outside, this must not scare the Shangshan supervisor to death, and Gonggong Liu had to fight with himself.

But if you look for Xiao Feng, it's much better. According to the etiquette system, the ministers can offer food to the emperor as a sign of respect, just like offering to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

It's just that this ritual system has rarely been implemented by people in all dynasties, because it is too dangerous.

Let's not say that the emperor's life is in danger of eating the dishes offered by the ministers, and the life of the food itself is also in danger.

In case the dish is dropped in the middle of the way, and it is tested to be poisonous after entering the palace, the emperor will kill you if he doesn't do it well.

Even if the dishes offered are not poisonous, in case the emperor has a bad stomach and eats diarrhea or constipation, he will not have a good impression of the person who offered the dishes.

Therefore, the matter of offering food is a typical way to find a sick person, and it is only circulated as a ritual on paper. But after all, there is such a rule, so it is not a violation.

Xiao Feng received the order, did not dare to slack off, and personally brought a bag of fried ingredients into the palace to ensure that this package of ingredients would not be added.

Jiajing and Concubine Kang were sweating all over their faces, and they kept wiping them with Jinpa. Xiao Feng sat down, only ate two chopsticks and put them down, looking like he was lacking in interest.

Looking at the junior brother's unbeaten appearance, Jiajing wiped his sweat and said, "This thing is good, the junior brother thinks he eats it every day, and he is tired of eating it."

You're tired of eating, I'm not looking for you, you don't know that if you take the initiative to give me this good thing to taste, won't your conscience hurt?

Xiao Feng hurriedly apologized: "Senior brother, Niangniang, it's not that I'm tired of eating, it's because I remembered the beef and mutton that people secretly bought in Taibaiju the day before yesterday, and I think today's meat is almost meaningful."

Jiajing frowned: "What do you mean by this? Isn't the beef and mutton in my palace kitchen as good as the beef and mutton in Taibai Curie?"

Xiao Feng smiled: "Everyone on the street says, not to mention the beef and mutton we eat, even the beef and mutton we eat are also leftovers picked by Taibai Curie.

Originally, I didn't believe it, but after tasting it today, I realized that it was true.

Although the beef and mutton in Senior Brother's Palace is better than that of Drunken Immortal Tower, it is not as good as Taibaiju."

Jiajing put down the chopsticks, and it seemed that the slices of meat in his mouth had become unfragrant. Concubine Kang was eating vigorously, and when she saw that Jiajing didn't eat, she quickly put down her chopsticks.

Although cattle and sheep are also raised in the mainland, the best cattle and sheep do come from the grassland.

The cattle and sheep obtained from the mutual market are purchased and sold by the household department, and the palace naturally wants to eat the first bite.

This is not Jiajing's stinginess and fighting for this stutter, but this represents the humility of the upper and lower levels.

This kind of psychological hint must not be forgotten at any time, otherwise, there is a possibility that the imperial power will weaken.

"Huang Jin, let Lu Bing think of a way to get some beef and mutton from Taibaiju."

The hot pot was still boiling, but Jiajing didn't move his chopsticks, only drinking tea and chatting with Xiao Feng.

He is not a gullible person, and everyone has different tastes about food, even if the junior brother is not lying, maybe his tongue is not good.

Jin Yiwei did this kind of thing, it was definitely overkill, and without a stick of incense, the meat slices were taken back.

Although Lu Bing had checked it repeatedly, Huang Jin still took the trouble to check it again, and he also soaked a piece of it himself to eat before handing it to Jiajing.

Jiajing took a slice of beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly. Then pick up another slice of lamb and chew it slowly.

"Serve me a clear soup hot pot."

The clear soup is clearer about the tasting of beef and mutton, and Jiajing's face is no longer very good-looking at this time.

The clear soup hot pot came up, Jiajing soaked two more slices, then put down the chopsticks, smiled and nodded to Concubine Kang.

"Today is your birthday, eat more, I will accompany you to eat."

The next morning, Pan Huang, the head of the household department, received an order to cooperate with Jinyiwei to check the account books of the cattle and sheep in the household department.

Pan Huang wondered, how did Jin Yiwei take care of the cattle and sheep.

He didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately called Tan Tong and asked him to take out the account books.

It is very clear in the account book that the first batch of cattle and sheep selected for delivery were sent to the palace.

The second batch of cattle and sheep selected and sent were ordered by the princes from all over the country, and the third batch of cattle and sheep selected and sent were sold in the market publicly.

Tan Tong pointed to the account books and talked eloquently, saying that since he was in charge of this matter, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and there have been no violations. Lu Bing suddenly interrupted him.

"It is written in the account book that there are also cattle and sheep that will be dealt with separately after a number of random inspections, what is going on?"

Tan Tong glanced at Lu Bing and said with a smile, "Lord Lu, this is the practice of the household.

Not only cattle and sheep, but also grain, rice, cloth and other bulk goods are in charge of the household, and the household department must take samples for inspection."

Lu Bing nodded: "These samples are sampled and processed separately, how is it generally handled?"

Tan Tong glanced at Pan Huang, Pan Huang tilted his head and pretended not to see it, Tan Tong gritted his teeth and laughed in a low voice.

"Lord Lu, these samples will be sold in the end.

There are not many samples, and the silver taels obtained are subsidized to the officials at all levels of the household department, which is the practice of the household department, not the intention of the official.

Moreover, the number of these taels of silver, the amount of which they were sold, and the time and what the subsidy was given to which officials, all have an internal account for the adults to see."

Lu Bing didn't care about this, because the allocation of funds from various departments in the Ming Dynasty was indeed not very rich.

In fact, many times the departments use their powers to make small moves to ensure that the departments operate better.

For example, the Ministry of War often sells obsolete military uniforms, and the Ministry of Rites also distributes some textbooks to major bookstores.

The people in the Qintian Prison worked part-time to tell fortunes for the wealthy, and the painters of Shuntianfu painted part-time portraits, and so on.

As long as the money does not all fall into the hands of individuals, and it is not too excessive, everyone will turn a blind eye.

But today, Lu Bing was very serious: "Lord Tan, please take out the internal account and show me, okay?"

Tan Tong was helpless, and took out a booklet, which clearly recorded that the samples were sold for a certain amount of silver, and the ministry spent a certain amount of money for a friendship and wine.

The ministry bought popsicles in the summer and paid a lot of silver, and a colleague's house collapsed, and the ministry paid a lot of silver, but it was clear and not messy.

But Lu Bing pointed to the above sales column and said, "Why are the cattle and sheep sold only sold to three fixed restaurants? The other two are also Shi Zhenxiang's industries."

Tan Tong's whole body trembled, and he forced a smile: "This, this official really doesn't know. In the case of sale, the price is fair, and there is generally no restriction on who buys it."

Lu Bing said with a smile: "This selling price is not fair, it is a little lower than the market price."

Tan Tong defended: "The samples that are randomly inspected are generally lower than the bulk shipment price."

Lu Bing nodded: "This batch of samples for random inspection should not have been sold yet, take me to see it."

The cattle and sheep that came in from the Datong market were concentrated in the livestock farm in the northeast of the capital. It is then sold to livestock dealers in various places and sent to all parts of the country through various channels.

When Lu Bing arrived at the livestock farm, this batch of cattle and sheep had already been sold, and there were only dozens of cattle and sheep left in a wooden pen, which were quietly grazing.

Lu Bing, as usual, did not wear an official uniform, so the junior household official who managed the livestock farm did not recognize him, but only smiled flatteringly at Tan Tong

。

"Lord Tan, why are you here in person! This place smells so big! Just let someone pass on the word!

Besides, even if you don't come to spread the word, I will naturally handle things properly.

Look, my lord, this is a selection of this cow and sheep! One in a hundred!

Look at the neck of the cow, look at the neck of the sheep, look at these parts, the cucumber strips, one head is heavy, the big three forks, and the meat is absolutely fat and tender!"

Tan Tong remembered that the sweat had come down, but Lu Bing was beside him, and he didn't dare to stop it directly, so he could only nod vaguely: "Yes, yes, you have to work hard and serve the country!"

Lu Bing smiled and said, "This official, I am a relative of Lord Tan and came to pick some livestock.

May I ask if the animals we randomly inspect are all good goods, why don't others buy them?"

When the little official heard that he was talking about the relatives of the adults, he must have known everything, and nodded angrily at the moment.

"Brother, you don't understand this. Normal spot checks, in order to determine the quality of this batch of livestock, it must be a bad inspection!

In this way, the price of the Tatars can be suppressed. These cattle and sheep left behind, they were all the best ones left, just in the name of a spot check!

You ask why others don't come and buy it? Joke, isn't it about the people appointed by the adults to buy these animals from here? You can only go to the market and buy those ordinary goods!

So brother, it's really your luck to have relatives like adults, you just wait to get rich! Which ones do you want? I'll get you out!"

Tan Tong was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "You stop me! Nonsense, nonsense! Get out of here!"

The petty officer slapped the horse's leg and fled in fright.

While running, I thought in my heart that this relative might be a poor relative from other places, who was not treated by adults, and I was so tired that I ate melons.

Although Tan Tong roared angrily, he also let himself completely leak his bottom, he looked at Lu Bing with a wry smile, and had nothing to say.

Say what? Said that he was to support Shi Zhenxiang? To say that supporting Shi Zhenxiang is to support Yan Shifan? To support Yan Shifan is to support Yan Song?

Can Lu Bing not understand these things, but he can't stand others pretending not to understand. People just ask one thing.

Is Shi Zhenxiang more honorable than the emperor? You picked out the best cattle and sheep in advance and kept them for Shi Zhenxiang, how many did you put the emperor first?

The best thing does not enter the palace, this is the unspoken rule, but the characteristic of the unspoken rule is that you can't see the light, you are too blatant, you can't dive.

The next day, several decrees came from the palace, concerning the rise and fall of several officials.

Lu Yi and Shen Lian have made meritorious contributions to the reverse, and they have all been promoted to the deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Guard.

Hu Zongxian announced that he had meritorious service in recruiting Wang Zhi, and was promoted to the imperial history of Nanjing, and continued to serve as the coastal patrol envoy, and patrolled the sea with Yu Dayou.

Yan Shifan was disabled by accident, and he was no longer suitable to serve in a department with strong action like Dali Temple.

Tan Tong had disrespect for Long Live and was demoted to three levels, starting from the Hubu Lang, Liu Tong was promoted to the left waiter of the Hubu and became the second-in-command of the Hubu.

Xiao Chunzi's father-in-law went to sea to announce the decree, recruited An Wang Zhi and was promoted to the right supervisor of the ceremonial supervisor, which is probably equivalent to the fifth leader of the ceremonial supervisor, and continued to discipline the Fang Division.

In this series of appointment changes, it seems very nonsensical to talk about the same matter, and all officials are confused.

Talking about being in the household department, and not a scholar, the opportunity to meet the emperor alone is almost non-existent, and they all go to court with everyone.

So how did he find the opportunity to be disrespectful to Banzai? Could it be that he didn't wash his hands before going to the toilet after spending "Jiajing Tongbao"?

Later, it was rumored that Tan Tong's disrespectful behavior was found out by Jinyiwei, and for a while, many officials were in danger, and the first sentence of greeting each day also changed.

"Have you eaten?"

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

"What's the matter, I asked you if you ate?"

"Long live the wise!"

"What's wrong with you today?"

"Long live the Emperor of the Ages!"

「…… Hooray, hooray!"
