Chapter 46: Meeting the Ministers

In the face of Zhao Heng's instructions, Chen Lin glanced at Liu E and agreed, squeezed his eyes at Zhao Zhen on the side and went out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Thank you, father, this is a blessing from the child!" ”

The New Year is approaching, everyone wants to hear some auspicious words, Zhao Heng looked at the blessing word in his son's hand and smiled: "You really have a heart, stick it on the palace gate to bring some blessing to me!" After speaking, he waved to the attendant.

"Father still has mine!" Zhao Miaoyuan pouted and said.

"You little clever, my father is just waiting for you to speak, what kind of good thing is this?"

Zhao Heng walked up to his daughter, first scratched her little nose and then asked curiously.

Zhao Miaoyuan smiled and said: "This is a celebratory pastry prepared by my daughter for you, to celebrate my Song Dynasty being one year older, and to celebrate the twenty-two years of my father's reign!" ”

His daughter's words suddenly evoked Zhao Heng's memories, how many ups and downs he has experienced as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the past twenty-two years.

After thwarting the rebellion of Empress Mingde and Wang Jien, it took ten years to have the rule of Xianping, but I didn't expect the Liao people to knock on the border and invade on a large scale.

Since then......

Zhao Heng sighed when he thought of this: "Eh, the mistake of the puppet is ruined, and the emperor has no regrets for his mistake!" ”

Liu E on the side helped Zhao Heng sit down and said, "What's wrong with the official family?" ”

"It's nothing, Miao Yuan, give me a taste of your pastry."

When Zhao Miaoyuan opened the lid of the box, Zhao Zhen swallowed his saliva, this is a cream cake!

You must know that it is very laborious to beat the cream by hand, he and the little fat man worked hard all night to make it, and now seeing that the fruit of victory is gone, he complains to Zhao Miaoyuan in his heart, why do you have to make the cake so big!

The materials needed can be found, milk, eggs, honey, and flour abound in the kitchen of the East Palace, and the only difficulty is the oven, but Wang Yuyan creatively designed the oven, so that Zhao Zhen and others had to admire her.

In her words, the inspiration came from oven pizza, which is worthy of superbrain, and this kind of thing is completely difficult for her.

Zhao Heng looked at what the cream wrote: Long life is boundless, extremely happy, at this time, he didn't care about the silver knife in the cage at all, but picked up the handwriting that avoided it and cut off a piece and put it into his mouth.

Liu E was relieved when she saw that the color of the silver knife had not changed.

The soft cotton-like cake, with silky cream, the sweet but not greasy feeling made Zhao Hengda addicted.

"Delicious! It's even better than crispy abalone snails. ”

Zhao Heng ate a lot, and felt a little satisfied, so he wiped off the cream from the corners of his mouth and beard and sighed.

Liu E also tasted it under his repeated urging, and she was fascinated by this delicacy as a sweet-toothed person.

"It's good that the father and the mother like to eat, and the daughter will let the palace people send the recipe to the imperial dining room tomorrow, but it's not good to eat more, after all, it's too sweet."

Zhao Heng touched her head affectionately: "If I care about me, I must keep in mind that things must be reversed!" ”

Chen Lin stood at the door and looked at the happy family and couldn't bear to go in, such a scene had never appeared in the royal family.

The word Fu at the door was deliberately pasted down, and Chen Lin smiled: "Official, look, the blessing has arrived!" ”

Zhao Heng looked at the upside-down blessing word and understood Zhao Zhen's intentions in his heart: "I love to shake and be smart, but this blessing is really auspicious!" Haha......"

Symbolically, he took Zhao Zhen, who had changed into the prince's clothes, and walked towards Jiying Palace, while the queen took Zhao Miaoyuan to Funing Palace.

On all major festivals, officials have to set up banquets to entertain their ministers, and the same is true for the queen.

The emperor's invitation to dinner is also to win over his subordinates, and a good relationship with his subordinates is a compulsory course for every emperor, when Zhao Zhen was born, Zhao Heng was happy to give the ministers to eat buns, but the buns are not ordinary fillings, but gold and silver.

This banquet is also a situation, but it is the first time that the prince has been given a banquet.

Zhao Heng took advantage of this opportunity to push Zhao Zhen to the front of the stage and let the ministers get acquainted with the prince, which was of extraordinary significance.

The ministers also have to bring their families to come, and the queen will give them a banquet and hospitality, so that it can be regarded as a real royal banquet entertainment.

Zhao Zhen's face was a little stiff with a smile, but the father at the top looked at him teasingly.

Most of the banquets are words of praise and congratulations, who would make the official family ugly at such a time? Even the officials who used to be mainly critical in the past smiled and said some auspicious words.

To be honest, if you can have a bowl of pearl rice at this time, you will be happy.

The delicate delicacies on the table could not arouse Zhao Zhen's interest at all, and the portions were surprisingly small.

If you can eat enough here, you can't eat three tables of dishes in one go, but the ministers don't look hungry at all, and Zhao Zhen finds that it was a mistake to not eat breakfast.

Looking at the ministers who were comfortably sending exquisite food to their mouths, Zhao Zhen couldn't wait to eat the table too!

Obviously, people have known for a long time, and they only come when they are full, these delicacies are just some snacks, and it is more like a tea party to say that it is a banquet, and Zhao Zhen can't eat and drink because of etiquette.

What's more, the ministers are all looking at the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty and the future official family.

The crown prince is the prince of the country and the future of the Great Song Dynasty, but his position is extremely embarrassing, although he is above 10,000 people under one person, but no one will slap him in front of everyone, after all, the emperor is the object of their allegiance.

Wang Qinruo braved the world's disapproval and frequently raised his glass to Zhao Zhen's ass, which made many people ashamed, and Zhao Heng, who was the leader, was also a little displeased.

"The prince left a name of benevolence in the city of Tokyo at a young age, and he was witty and talented."

Seeing Wang Qinruo stammering like this, Cao Yu said even more flatteringly: "What Wang Xianggong said, there are many words of praise for the prince among the people, and it has spread throughout the land of Gyeonggi. ”

Faced with the two of them roasting themselves on the fire, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to deny: "The things I do are all small things, only worthy of being circulated among the people, but they can't be on the elegant hall, and in the face of major national affairs, I still have to rely on my father to control the world." ”

"What the prince said is extremely true, the official family is the leader of my Great Song Dynasty, and the prince still lacks experience."

Lu Zongdao did not hesitate to echo his words, these words made Zhao Heng's heart feel a lot more comfortable, even if he was his own son in front of the ministers, he could not be higher than himself.

This is the sublime nature of imperial power!

The banquet was pushed to a climax after a song and dance performance, the monarch and the ministers frequently raised their glasses, Zhao Zhen worked on behalf of him with a bitter face, the cheap father's body is not allowed to drink too much wine, and of course he has to share it as a son......

After the banquet dispersed, Ding Wei glanced at Zhao Zhen meaningfully, but Zhao Zhen's direct speech Zhang Huaizheng walked to the prince's side: "Your Highness's lesson today must be remembered, flattery has both kindness and malice, and discernment can not be harmed." ”

"Lone knows, thank you Master Zhang."

Zhang Huaizheng nodded and left, with the wisdom of the prince, he could fully know the meaning of this sentence, and he dealt with it very well just now.

After leaving the main hall, Zhao Zhen thought about today's situation while walking, when Wang Qinruo and Cao Yu continued to elevate themselves, Ding Wei looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, did he want to cover for himself or did he want to fall into the ground?

Ding Wei should speak out in time to help himself, why is he hesitant, is it to state his position and protect himself?

The closer he got to the court, the more Zhao Zhen found that the water in it was very deep.

Everyone's every word is for some purpose, either to test or to greet, or to woo. If you can't sort out the relationship, maybe you will be betrayed and help others shout and cheer!

After all, he is still the prince now, and if he doesn't know who his real friends are, it's a big joke to want to be pro-government!

With such deep thoughts, Zhao Zhen walked in the palace, and he wanted to take Zhao Miaoyuan back together.

"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here alone?" The familiar girl surprised Zhao Zhen, and when he looked up, he realized that it was Wang Dan's Sun Queen Rou.
