The snow is falling heavily, and the warm pavilion in the east warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is as warm as spring.

In the autumn of this year, the twenty-seven rooms of the Qianqing Palace were finally installed with heating, so the king did not go to court early.

Emperor Longqing just got up at noon, yawned and sat in front of the mirror, and asked Chen Hong to comb his hair.

Emperor Longqing in the mirror is a little thinner than more than half a year ago, and his eye circles are slightly darkened, looking overworked.

"Hooray, how was the fruit last night?" Chen Hong asked with a low chuckle while combing his hair.

"Well, it's not bad." Long Qing said with a smug expression: "I wanted to open two plum blossoms, but I didn't expect the plum blossoms to be three lanes, I really raised my eyebrows." ”

"That's good, that's good." Chen Hong was also very happy.

"You have made meritorious service this time, how do I want to reward you?"

"This is what an old slave should do......"

After combing his hair, Long Qing got up with Chen Hong's support, and went downstairs to Zhongzheng Rentang for breakfast.

When the emperor sat down at the imperial table, the palace maid served a rather frugal breakfast.

There are only 12 kinds of pasta desserts, including eight-treasure steamed buns, stuffed steamed buns, steamed rolls, sugar cakes, sesame cakes, milk skin cakes, crackers, Ganoderma lucidum cakes, jujube cakes, white steamed buns, sugar dumplings, and sesame elephant eyes.

The dishes are only four meat, four vegetables and four soups, compared to his father and his uncle, who often have hundreds of dishes in a meal, it is definitely frugal.

The only thing that has some luxury is a plate of donkey intestines.

Emperor Longqing loved to eat donkey intestines, but when he learned that every time he ate donkey intestines, he would kill a live donkey, so he couldn't bear to eat them often. Tell the imperial dining room to come with a donkey every ten years. The number of times I eat is less, and I naturally cherish it extraordinarily, and every time I kill a donkey, it is three meals that do not leave the donkey's intestines.

What braised donkey intestines, radish roasted donkey intestines, five-spice braised donkey plate intestines, braised donkey intestines, tofu donkey intestine soup, eat in different ways.

However, the intestines of the donkey that has just been killed in the morning are the freshest, and His Majesty generally loves to eat sashimi.

Long Qing pinched the fresh and hot intestines of chopsticks, sniffed at the end of his nose first, and praised: "Well, it's the inner taste." ”

"That's it." Meng Chong, the head of the imperial dining room on the side, hurriedly invited the merit and said, "The old slave washed it by hand." ”

"Yes, the people of Guanglu Temple just don't understand, this thing can't be washed too clean, otherwise it will have no internal taste." Long Qing dipped the honey in the shallow dish, put it in his mouth, and savored the fat but not greasy, fragrant taste, intoxicated and couldn't help himself.

"It's really called 'I'd rather give up the child's mother, than the donkey'."

"And this donkey intestine is good for men, and eating it raw is even more first-class nourishment." Meng Chong hurriedly smiled flatteringly, he knew that the emperor cared most about that aspect of ability, how could he let Chen Hong be beautiful?

"Well, that's going to take a few more chopsticks." When the emperor heard this, he felt that the meat in his mouth was more fragrant.

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, if you like to eat, you can eat often, there is no need to eat only once in ten days." Meng Chong suggested.

"Uh...... Forget it. Long Qing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's greasy to eat too much." ”

In fact, because he was poor, he had to spend five taels to eat an egg in the imperial dining room, and it cost a thousand taels of silver to kill a donkey! Who can stand this?

~~

Long Qing was enjoying the sashimi of donkey intestines, and the little eunuch outside came to report, and Zhang Xianggong had something important to see.

"Come in, please." Emperor Longqing nodded.

It is said that this East Warm Pavilion is the emperor's living place, and foreign ministers are not allowed to trespass. But Emperor Longqing was cold and didn't want to go to the imperial study, so he called the ministers in to talk.

After a while, Zhang Xianggong, who had a long beard, came into the warm pavilion, and after saluting, the emperor looked at the seat and asked him to serve him a bowl of hot **.

"Master Zhang, drink a bowl to warm up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took the glossy and elegant, thin porcelain bowl like cicada wings with both hands, and when he was about to drink it, he found that this was actually a disgusting porcelain. I saw a delicate pattern burning on the wall of the bowl, and the men and women on the swing were vivid and delicate.

Seeing it, the old man blushed and almost choked on his milk.

"What's wrong with Master Zhang? Can't get used to it? Why not switch to cow's milk? Long Qing asked with concern.

"The habit of drinking is just that the minister accidentally choked." Zhang Juzheng was busy hiding his smile, at this juncture, he couldn't make the emperor unhappy. Then he took the bowl again and drank it as if nothing had happened.

While drinking, he looked at the warm pavilion attentively, only to see that under the plaque of 'Evening Clothes and Food', next to the position of the desk neatly stacked with chapters and documents, there was an additional Bogu shelf. There are all kinds of cups, plates and bowls on display, each of which is extremely fine and beautiful.

And on each of them, there are pictures painted with Mo Ke described, so that Zhang Xianggong's eyes don't know where to put it. A picture appeared in front of his eyes, the emperor was playing with the porcelain, while flipping through the cabinet votes, and suddenly felt that he was defiled.

Long Qing was also a little apprehensive, this shelf had only been installed for two days...... Originally, the emperor closed the door and secretly enjoyed the porcelain with his concubine, and he would be scolded by the sister when he placed it outside.

But if the periphery of this set of "Golden Vase Plum" that I spent a lot of money to burn can only be hidden in a dark room, and cannot be displayed in a dignified manner and made myself visible at any time, what is the difference between it and the brocade night walk?

Finally, the day before yesterday, the eldest princess went down to Jiangnan for the winter, and no one cared about him anymore. Longqing hurriedly put up his beloved disgusting porcelain, wiped it in person every day, and played with it all the time, and the mood was beautiful.

Emperor Longqing didn't ask for Zhang Juzheng, who had always been serious, to play happily with him, as long as he didn't spoil his own fun. He quickly changed the topic and said, "Master Zhang came over so early, is there anything urgent?" ”

Zhang Juzheng then remembered what he was here for, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, the secret way was really not enough concentration, and he forgot about it as soon as he was stimulated.

He hurriedly put down the porcelain bowl, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then presented the letter with both hands, and reported in a deep voice about Lin Run's suffering.

Emperor Longqing, who listened to it, was also shocked and dropped the chopsticks in his hand. "There are so many people in the governor's line, why is it that everyone else is fine, and only the governor and his entourage are burned?"

"Lin Run is not ......dead," Zhang Juzheng reminded in a low voice, and then said: "There are many suspicious points in this case, so we should immediately arrange the most effective manpower to calm people's hearts and calm down the rumors." On the one hand, we will investigate and find out the truth as soon as possible! ”

"Hmm." Long Qing nodded, his expression was gloomy for a long time, and Fang said: "Master Zhang is one of the people I trust the most, and I will tell you the truth - Lin Ruoyu, the governor of Yingtian, was arranged by Master Gao. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Juzheng showed a mixture of gratitude and shock. "What does Gao Xianggong mean by this?"

"Master Gao has always wanted to solve the dilemma of the imperial court's lack of money by opening the sea ban." Long Qing said slowly: "When I wrestled last year, Master Zhang was also present, so there is no need to say much. ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded. At that time, the anti-Japanese victory was won, and Tu Zemin, the governor of Fujian, asked to open the market, and the smugglers became public sellers, which was to turn smugglers into legitimate businessmen.

And vigorously stated that this move will benefit the country and the people, not only can relieve the people's hardship, eliminate trouble, but also allow the imperial court to increase taxes by millions of taels every year.

Ps. Longqing loves to eat donkey intestines, not me, old Beijing.
