Soon, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Emperor Chongkang and the crown prince, were assigned to the nest.

The ministers had two or three, two bowls of porridge. The crown prince and Chongkangdi each had one and a bowl of porridge.

The prince said: "This nest head is in Lijia Village, and they can only eat it when they are doing farm work, and when they are idle, they only drink porridge, and they are not even willing to eat it." ”

"In their eyes, this nest is a top-notch delicacy. Next, I would like to invite you to taste what it is like to be delicious in the eyes of the people. ”

With that, the prince picked up the nest, took a bite, and chewed it vigorously.

The prince has been eating wotou for five days, but I have to say that he is still not used to it. The taste of this nest is still unpalatable.

But at least now he didn't have to eat it, he gnawed on the nest head in one gulp, and when he felt choked, he drank a mouthful of porridge.

Looking at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, just one bite, the vast majority of them almost spit it out.

The coarse and astringent smell made them almost vomit, and it was even more difficult to swallow.

But at this time, His Majesty and the crown prince watched them watch, and they didn't dare to spit it out.

I could only hold my breath, gritted my teeth, chewed hard, and swallowed little by little with difficulty.

It is countless times more torturous than eating arsenic.

Among the ministers, there are a few people, although they are eating nest heads, but they can still keep their faces as usual.

One of them is the emperor's newly promoted official secretary, Zhao Heng, a cabinet scholar.

The prince asked curiously, "Scholar Zhao, don't you think this nest is unpalatable?" ”

Zhao Heng smiled slightly and said: "Your Royal Highness, the taste is a little worse, but when the old minister was young, he grew up eating nests. ”

"As His Royal Highness said, when the old minister was young, he was the head of this nest, and he couldn't eat it every day. You can only eat it when you are doing farm work. ”

"When I'm not working, I look forward to eating the nest every day. Eating this nest reminded the old minister of his childhood memories. ”

"The old minister also wants to ask His Royal Highness, can this old minister keep one and bring it back for Humble Jing to taste?"

The prince hurriedly said: "There is no need, and so are all the adults, each of you should eat at least one nest." If you can't eat the rest, take it back to your family to taste! ”

On the throne, Emperor Chongkang also ate very hard.

He now regretted that he was going to eat it.

But since I have chosen, I have to eat it even with tears in my eyes.

I have to say, this nest is really unpalatable!

The taste of this porridge is also indescribable.

And this is actually still a delicacy in the eyes of the people? Don't you get it every day?

How can the lives of the people be so poor?

This made Emperor Chongkang have to sigh, if it weren't for the prince inviting hundreds of officials to dinner, he really didn't have a specific understanding of the poverty of the people's lives.

After all, hunger, poverty, etc., in the twists and turns, are just a few words fluttering, and they cannot be intuitively reflected at all.

Emperor Chongkang suddenly felt that the prince had done a good job of inviting hundreds of officials to dinner.

In the future, it seems that a rule can be set, and every year a special day is found to invite civil and military officials to eat the people's food.

It also allows them to experience first-hand the hardships of people's lives.

The vast majority of high-ranking officials struggled to eat a nest head and almost lost half their lives.

The remaining one or two nests, they were killed and did not eat, and they decided to take them home.

They decided to take it back to their children and nephews to taste.

Lao Tzu has suffered so much, how can he make them feel better?

By the way, you can also educate them so that they don't act recklessly in the future, so as not to repeat Qiongyu's mistakes.

After the ministers finished eating the nest, they could finally disperse, and the hundred officials were suddenly busy scattering.

The prince stayed.

Emperor Chongkang looked at the prince who had turned black and thin, and couldn't help but say, "Prince, you have suffered in the past few days. ”

The prince said: "Father, the child is not bitter, but the people are suffering. If it had not been for these few days, the child would not have known that the people were suffering. ”

"I don't know that those ministers who are full of benevolence and morality are so dirty in private. Speaking of which, all of this is thanks to Jia Shiyu. ”

"A few days ago, the child didn't know his father's good intentions, and he also went to the table to confront his father, and now that I think about it, I am really ashamed of my son. The sons and daughters plead guilty to their father here. ”

Hearing the prince's words, Emperor Chongkang was greatly relieved, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "The prince can have such knowledge, I am very relieved. ”

"Father naturally knows you, even if you were on the table a few days ago, you are also dedicated to the country, but you have been deceived by those corrupt people. How could my father blame you? ”

"You don't know how much you have suffered in the past few days, go back and rest well."

The crown prince saluted respectfully and said, "Yes, father, the son and the emperor have retired." ”

After a short time, the prince returned to the East Palace, couldn't wait to take a bath, and then had a big meal.

After eating and drinking, the prince suddenly asked, "You go and invite Jia Shiyu, there is something to ask for advice in this palace." ”

Now Jia Huan has become an attendant in the East Palace, and the office location has naturally been transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the East Palace.

This few days in Lijia Village made the prince's attitude towards Jia Huan change 360 degrees.

When he came back this time, he had many questions and couldn't wait to ask Jia Huan.

The crown prince hesitated with Liu Xing and said, "Your Royal Highness, Jia Shi left when he was reading noon. ”

The prince couldn't help but ask in disappointment, "Is there something at home?" ”

Liu Xing replied: "Your Highness, in the past few days since His Highness left, Jia Shishu has either been late or left early every day, and there has never been a day when he is on time. ”

"The little one thinks that this Jia waiter has a bad attitude, no rules, no square circle, and needs to be severely punished. The little one sent for him. ”

Jia Huan's position changed to become an attendant in the East Palace, and the office was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the East Palace, and the prince of the East Palace, the lord of the East Palace, was not there, so Jia Huan completely let himself go.

The daily value is either late or early.

According to the agreement, today is only the sixth day, and the prince should not return until tomorrow afternoon or early the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, Jia Huan was completely indulged for a while, and he slipped away directly before noon.

Unexpectedly, the prince returned a day early, and he was arrested.

And the prince followed Liu Xing in person, followed the prince since he was a child, and won the trust of the prince.

And Jia Huan, the attendant of the East Palace, was disgusted by the prince as soon as he came to the East Palace.

In the past few days since the prince left the palace, he has been so unscrupulous to fish, which made Liu Xing unbearable, and he couldn't help but sue him in front of the prince.

didn't admit it, after he complained, the prince actually put on a straight face and said: "Jia Shishu is an extraordinary person, and he naturally does extraordinary things, and how Jia Shishu will act in the future must not be discussed." ”

"Now that Jia Shiyu has returned home, if there is anything about this palace Ming'er to consult him again, why send someone to disturb his tranquility?"

Liu Xingshi didn't know what was wrong, so he had to say with a stinky face: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
