Chapter 390 - Grievances for His Highness the Tenth

During this time, there were rumors that the Ten Princes were going to be exiled to Lingnan to be the prince. This incident caused an uproar in the capital.

Although the ministers of the DPRK and China did not support Zhao Yao's seizure of the throne, it did not mean that they hated the Ten Princes. On the contrary, many ministers like the powerless, powerless and unfavored Ten Highnesses.

Although Zhao Yao, the tenth prince, is not very smart in reading, he is extremely smart in doing things. Not to mention the new looms, curved plows, new paper and other things he made, but to mention the new tea he made every year, and no one in the court did not like the new tea he made.

Also, Zhao Yao, the Ten Highnesses, has no shelf and is approachable. He won't play tricks or engage in any intrigues, and he is really very comfortable and at ease with a simple and simple person like him.

Zhao Yao also has one thing that is very pleasing to some ministers, that is, he is very good at eating. Zhao Yao can not only make new tea every year, but he also makes new food every year.

Stir-frying, hot pot, and barbecue are all new ways to eat that Zhao Yao has come up with. On top of these three new ways of eating, he has made a lot of delicacies, which are very popular.

By the way, a few years ago, the Tenth Prince also used pepper as a spice to cook, but he didn't expect the dishes to taste very good. Nowadays, pepper has become a condiment, not a spice. Also, the chili pepper was originally used as a potted plant, and no one thought that this thing could be eaten, but Zhao Yao used it to cook. Although the taste of chili is very spicy, it has a unique taste.

Nowadays, chili pepper has also become an indispensable condiment for many people's cooking. Because chili peppers can be fried with any dish, and they are very delicious, even scrambled eggs.

In terms of eating, the Ten Princes are definitely connoisseurs, and no one knows how to eat better than him.

Zhao Yao doesn't think he is an expert, but many ministers and people regard him as an expert. Some ministers who have a good relationship with Zhao Yao, if their family wants to make a new dish, they will invite Zhao Yao to taste it. If he can get Zhao Yao's "good", then his family's new dish will be famous.

When Zhao Yao was very young, he often exchanged delicious food with the ministers in the Lanyuan Pavilion. Later, unknowingly, the ministers invited Zhao Yao to taste the food. At first, Zhao Yao only went to some ministers' homes to taste food, and later was invited to taste at home by those who love food in the capital.

Zhao Yao himself is interested in delicious food, as long as others invite him to eat, he will generally not refuse, and will give a fair evaluation, or opinion. Then, slowly, he became a famous gourmet. Some liquor stores and restaurants in the capital will invite him to taste their dishes. If you can get "good" from Zhao Yao himself, then this business will become hot.

Regarding the fact that he became a gourmet, Zhao Yao also realized it later, and he didn't understand why it became like this. By the time he reacted, he had become a famous foodie. For such a result, Zhao Yao is not repulsed.

Zhao Yao, who has no errands, walks the streets and alleys with Tongxi on weekdays, tasting and discovering the food of various places in the capital.

Zhao Yao also publishes a cookbook every year. This cookbook introduces the various cuisines he has discovered over the past year and his new recipes. He will explain the recipe of each dish in detail in the recipe, and he will not hide it at all.

Recipes are extremely important things, and the chefs will keep them tightly hidden and will never leak out. The practice of unreservedly announcing each dish like Zhao Yao is really too unusual.

People called him stupid and thanked him for publishing the recipes.

Zhao Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with him announcing the recipe. He believes that delicious things should be shared, and everyone eats them together. Besides, if you hide good recipes, if something happens in the future, how can these delicious recipes be passed on.

He was influenced by Zhao Yao in his dream, and felt that food was also a kind of culture, and it should also be passed on to future generations.

Don't look at Zhao Yao, there are no ministers in the court to support him to win the heir, but his reputation among the people is very good. He had a high status in the hearts of the world's scholars, because he made cheap and easy new paper and printing. He also has a good reputation in the hearts of the people of the world, because he made things such as the quyuan plough and the new loom, and he also made things such as fire kang and cotton clothes to keep warm. He also has a very high status in the hearts of the world's businessmen, not mentioning other businessmen, only talking about tea merchants, they regard Zhao Yao as the "God of Wealth".

Over the years, everything Zhao Yao has made has not only changed the lives of the people of the Great Zhou, but also brought a lot of benefits to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Knowing that Zhao Yao was going to be exiled to a wild place like Lingnan to be the prince, many ministers and people were unhappy with him, and they all felt that the emperor bullied him too much. Besides, His Royal Highness Ten is the emperor's own son, and the tiger poison does not eat children, how can the emperor be so ruthless to exile his youngest son to Lingnan to die.

Going to Lingnan to be the prince, in the eyes of the world, is tantamount to letting Zhao Yao go to death.

Some ministers who were good friends with Zhao Yao on weekdays wrote a recital, asking the emperor to retract his order and not to exile Zhao Yao to Lingnan.

The emperor patted a bunch of folds on the imperial table, and said with a smile: "These are all to ask me not to exile Xiao Shi to Lingnan, the first time I know that Xiao Shi is so popular in the court." ”

He Xiangdao: "His Royal Highness the Tenth is very likable. "If His Highness doesn't harm his orchids, His Highness Ten will be even more likable.

"They think that when the Ten Highnesses go to Lingnan, they are sending them to death, so they will help the Ten Highnesses intercede." Taishi Liu said objectively, "There are many ministers in the court who like the Ten Princes, and they can't bear to go to Lingnan with the Ten Highnesses. ”

He Xiang echoed Taishi Liu's words and said: "His Royal Highness Ten is kind and sincere, and he can drink tea and eat delicious food, who doesn't like it." ”

Da Sinong nodded again and again: "His Royal Highness Ten will still make money, and the minister likes His Highness Ten very much." "In Da Si Nong's heart, Zhao Yao is closer than his own grandson.

The emperor deliberately put on an angry expression: "These twists and turns are turning around and saying that I am vicious. ”

"They don't know the emperor's painstaking efforts." He Xiang saw that the emperor looked angry, and he was very funny in his heart, the emperor obviously wanted to show off that His Royal Highness Ten was liked by so many ministers, but he deliberately put on an angry look.

"The Ten Highnesses going to Lingnan is a blessing for the people of Lingnan and a blessing for the Great Zhou."

The emperor was very surprised to hear Taishi Liu praise Zhao Yao so much. He raised his eyebrows at Taishi Liu, and said with a look of surprise: "Yo, old Liu, it's the first time I've heard you praise someone like this." ”

Taishi Liu glanced at the emperor and said in a disgusted tone: "Your Majesty, first put away your smug face." ”

"You praise my son so much, you don't allow me to be complacent." The emperor looked at Taishi Liu teasingly, "Tut-tut, I have known you for decades, and this is the first time I have heard you have such a high praise for a person." Speaking of which, I have never been so praised by you. ”

Liu Taishi was too lazy to deal with the emperor.

"It seems that in Lao Liu's heart, I am not as good as Xiao Shi, a stinky boy." As the emperor spoke, a sad look appeared on his face, and he looked at Taishi Liu with a sad look in his eyes, "Old Liu, you are my good brother, how can you treat me so ruthlessly." The emperor's demeanor and tone were as if he had been abandoned by Taishi Liu.

Taishi Liu has long been accustomed to the appearance of the emperor's drama, and said without changing his face: "Your Majesty, can you make new paper, can you make printing, can you make a curved plow, can you make a new loom?" ”

The emperor was speechless by the series of questions asked by Taishi Liu. Of course he couldn't do it.

"Lingnan is desolate, and if the Ten Highnesses go down, they will definitely be able to change Lingnan and let the people of Lingnan live a good life." Although Taishi Liu is famous for his tricks, he doesn't just engage in tricks, but also does things that benefit the country and the people. Back then, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, it was not only Zheng Xilin who formulated national policies, but Liu Taishi also participated.

Taishi Liu is a doer, he likes people who do practical things in a down-to-earth manner, and he doesn't like those who can only be reasonable. The things that Zhao Yao has made over the years are all practical benefits for the people and for the benefit of the country, so Taishi Liu appreciates and likes His Royal Highness the Tenth very much.

The emperor asked, "You just believe in Xiao Shi's ability so much?" ”

"Your Majesty, aren't you also because you believe in the ability of the Ten Highnesses, so you let the Ten Highnesses go to Lingnan?" Lingnan is regarded as an ominous place by the people of the world, and no one wants to go there. Therefore, whether it is the previous dynasty or the Great Zhou, they are unwilling to spend manpower and financial resources to build and develop Lingnan.

The emperor said stiffly: "I don't, I went to Lingnan because Xiao Shi's stinky boy begged to go, but I didn't let him go." ”

When Taishi Liu heard the emperor say this, he exclaimed: "His Royal Highness Ten really cares about the people. "No one wants to go to Lingnan, only His Highness Ten took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Lingnan, His Highness Ten is really amazing.

Hearing Taishi Liu praise Zhao Yao like this, the corners of the emperor's mouth curled higher and higher, "He is worthy of being my son." ”

Seeing the emperor boasting about himself so shamelessly, Taishi Liu and He Xiang almost couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"I've been scolded, what do you say I should do, you have to help me think of ideas, otherwise I will become a poisonous father."

"Your Majesty, haven't you been pretending to be a poisonous father all the time." He Xiang unceremoniously dismantled the emperor's platform, "Haven't you always shown that you don't like the Ten Highnesses, it's not strange that you exiled the Ten Highnesses to Lingnan, so don't care." ”

Taishi Liu felt that the emperor was too boring and too lazy to talk nonsense with him again. He can do a lot of things during this time of talking nonsense with him.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, so I'll retire first." After speaking, he retreated directly.

Seeing that Taishi Liu was gone, Dasi Nong was busy learning from him, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

His Royal Highness the Tenth is about to go to Lingnan, and he has to quickly discuss some things with His Highness the Ten.

"The minister retired." He Xiang also left in a hurry.

Seeing that they abandoned him like this, the emperor was so angry that he scolded them and scolded them for having no heart.

Sun Kui was about to quietly withdraw, but he didn't expect to be caught by the emperor. Next, Sun Kui had no choice but to listen to the emperor's complaints, which in fact the emperor was showing off.

Master Liu, they ran so fast, they really hurt him as a slave.

Seeing that the emperor was determined to let Zhao Yao go to Lingnan, the ministers and the people felt even more sorry for him. Many ministers who were good friends with Zhao Yao gave him a lot of things in private.

The tea merchants, the owners of wine shops and restaurants, and many literati and students in the capital all sent things to Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao's palace had not yet been repaired, so they sent things to the palace of Chu or the palace of Wei.

Being given something by so many people was something Zhao Yao didn't expect. He originally planned to pick up a handful of the royal brothers' wool before leaving, but he didn't expect such a show. Dai Wang and King Jing saw that many people sent things to Zhao Yao, as Zhao Yao's imperial brother, if they didn't send things, wouldn't it seem that they were too stingy and had no brotherhood.

After Zhao Yao received the gifts from the imperial brothers, he also specially announced to the emperor in the early court to thank the imperial brothers for their love. When the emperor learned about it, he naturally praised the acting king.

They didn't expect Zhao Yao to do this, and they were very satisfied with his knowledge. After the early dynasty, the acting king sent someone to send some things to Zhao Yao.

On this day, when the court ended, Dasi Nong held Zhao Yao's hand and didn't let go.

"Your Highness, there are some things I want to discuss with you."

Zhao Yao looked at Da Si Nong who was smiling like a flower with a wary look in his eyes, "Da Si Nong, what idea do you want to fight?" "Every time Dasi Nong comes to him with a smile on his face, it must be fine.

"Your Highness the Tenth, aren't you going to Lingnan soon, the minister can provide you with some seeds, and you can take them to Lingnan to plant."

"Dasi Nong, what seed do you want to give me?"

"Tea tree seeds, do you think it's okay?"

As soon as Zhao Yao heard this, he knew what Da Si Nong was thinking.

"Da Si Nong, you are reminding me not to forget to make new tea."

Seeing that Zhao Yao understood as soon as he heard it, Dasi Nong made a gesture to him: "Your Highness Ten is wise." ”

Zhao Yao only thought it was funny, "Da Si Nong, don't you forget that the weather in Lingnan is hotter than the capital and Jiangnan, right?" It's still raining a lot, it's very wet, you can't forget it, right? ”

Da Si Nong really forgot.

"The tea trees in the south of the Yangtze River can't survive in Lingnan." Zhao Yao said again, "Many things in the capital and Jiangnan are not alive in Lingnan, and I understand your kindness in sending me seeds." ”

"Your Highness the Tenth, it's not so absolute, don't you see that rice is grown very well in Lingnan?"

"Dasi Nong, the rice grown in Lingnan now is from Annam and Siam, not from Jiangnan." Zhao Yao reminded Dasi Nongdao, "The rice in Jiangnan can't survive in Lingnan. ”

Dasi Nong: "......" He forgot about it again.

"The weather in Lingnan is hot and humid, and there is miasma, and it is difficult for things from other places to survive in Lingnan." Zhao Yao knew that Da Si Nong came to him, not just for the new tea, there must be other things. "Don't go around the bush in front of me, what do you have to say."

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Da Si Nong didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, with your talent, when you arrive in Lingnan, you will definitely come up with a lot of things, and the minister wants to make a deal with you." ”

Hearing the word "transaction", Zhao Yao immediately became interested. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest, "Da Si Nong, what deal do you want to make with me?" ”

"You went to Lingnan, if you find anything good in Lingnan, the minister hopes that you can take it as a tribute and pay tribute to the court." Dasi Nong said again, "It's the same as when you made new tea and treated new tea as tribute tea." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yao was stunned, and then he reached out and patted Da Si Nong's stomach.

"Da Si Nong, you are very good at this wishful thinking."

"Your Highness the Tenth, what do you think?"

Zhao Yao clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile: "What good do I have?" ”

"You've got a lot to offer. As long as it becomes a tribute, many people will buy it, and you will be able to make money, right? "The tribute of the Great Zhou is not only for the use of the royal family, but also for others. For example, some time ago, Zhao Yao made the Junshan Maojian out, which has become a tribute tea, but it does not mean that only people from the royal family can drink it, and others cannot drink it. In fact, ordinary people can also drink it, but they don't drink it from the Junshan Maojian who paid tribute to the imperial court.

Also, the tribute paid to the imperial court is designated by one or two, or three. Other families can also do it, but the things they make do not need to be paid tribute to the imperial court, but can be sold to other people.

"Da Si Nong, you make a deal with me, does my father know?"

"The minister has not yet reported to the emperor. When you agree, the minister will immediately tell the emperor. ”

"It's not impossible for you to make a deal with me, but I have conditions."

Seeing Zhao Yao's treacherous smile suddenly, Da Si Nong immediately became vigilant in his heart.

"Your Highness the Tenth, what conditions do you have?"

Zhao Yao stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Da Si Nong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk slowly." ”

I don't know why he suddenly felt that His Highness Ten was like a fox at the moment, smiling very cunningly?
