The great empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, who has real power, also likes this feeling of being worshipped, and feels that this is similar to "a hundred birds and a phoenix", when his husband and son were in power, there were only sixty or seventy countries that came to the Great Song Dynasty, and in the six years since she became a regent, this number has expanded to nearly two hundred, isn't this her credit?

Since Da Song, the unjust boss, should be in a happy mood, people are also willing to give this face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, the Wa Kingdom was not very pleasing in the hearts of the Empress Dowager Gao and a group of civil and military ministers.

How can people say that Da Liao is also a strong soldier, and he can be called a brother and a brother to my Great Song Dynasty, and the founding time of Western Xia is not a hundred years, although it is rude now, people have also called ministers before.

Why are you a small island country with lonely sails floating on the distant sea, and you have never been a vassal to my Great Song Dynasty since the time of Taizu? How rude is that?

If you talk about the big truth, De Yan Hachimaru knows that he can't talk about the Hongzhong Confucianism in the Great Song Dynasty, and when the time comes, what Confucian saint Li Shengren, and other Tianzhu's Shi Saints will all move out, it is not a trivial matter.

So Tokunayama Hachimaru came up with another idea.

"Honorable Mrs. Queen Mother, Your Excellency the Emperor, I heard that the Song people are good at food and are even better at cooking food, why don't we make a bet?"

Hearing that someone was going to make a bet, Zhao Daxiao, who was hiding on the side just now and only caring about the scene, but was actually indifferent to state affairs, came to be interested.

"How much is it to bet? How to gamble? ”

Zhao Hao is used to being casual, and the civil and military officials in the court all know what kind of virtue he is, except for the strict management of the two wives, I haven't heard of any scandals about this prince, as long as it has a little relationship with playing, drinking, or eating, this prince will never miss it.

Empress Dowager Gao can't help her son, she has been spoiled since she was a child, she likes some music and calligraphy and painting, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to him if she likes some music and calligraphy and painting, and she doesn't bother to pay attention to him with food and wine.

Tokunayamaru saw that it was Ka Wang Ye who spoke, and as Taro expected, things were starting to develop according to their plan.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Jia, and today I heard that a large-scale and wonderful cooking competition was held in the Guiyan Building of His Royal Highness King Jiawang, and it is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to watch it.

Among the envoys to the Great Song Dynasty this time, there was a deputy envoy named Junjiro Koinu, and his elder brother, His Excellency Juntaro Koinu, was a famous chef of Juntaro Koinu, who once cooked for our Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Horikawa, and won the reputation of the first chef of Toei.

Today, Taro Jun also came to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the Great Song Dynasty, he hopes to learn from the famous chefs of the Great Song Kingdom, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Jia wants? ”

Zhao Hao was still thinking about this little man who was talking about trade, why suddenly there was a Taro who wanted to try his cooking skills, and when he had what his purpose was, Zhao Xu shouted excitedly: "Okay, it's better than cooking!" ”

Zhao Xu watched Yang Huairen and Wei Cai's cooking competition today, and felt that it was an eye-opener when he left the palace today, and he was impressed by Yang Huairen's exquisite cooking skills.

It was impossible for Empress Dowager Gao to refuse at this time, and she shook her head and sighed in her heart that her grandson was still careless, but after all, he was the king of a country, even if he had not really exercised his power as emperor, he could not refute his face.

De stubborn Hachimaru was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "There is a saying in your Great Song Dynasty that Jun Wu jokes, and there is another saying that it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the envoys of various countries are in the main hall today, and come to an impromptu cooking competition, and there is no need to choose another witness." ”

Zhao Hao felt that since the emperor's eldest nephew had agreed, it was useless for him to think so much, anyway, it was not something he cared about, let alone something he could influence, not to mention the trade matters of the small island country, how much cheapness they could make?

Zhao Xu was even happier when he heard that it was going to be carried out immediately, but after thinking about it, Yang Huairen had just gone home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family after a tired day, so he couldn't recruit people from his relatives to the palace now, right?

Zhao Hao also thinks so, but the little man of the Japanese Kingdom has to compete now, where can he find a cook for him to participate in the competition?

They hesitated to work, and Tokunayamaru made a bet.

"If Juntaro, the little dog of the country, wins, then please ask the Great Song Dynasty to agree to the request for free trade in the country, and if the representative sent by your country wins, we will naturally stop mentioning the matter of trade."

The sixty-year-old Shangshu left servant Lu Dafang saw that the official family was also messing around with Lord Jia, and he was going to gamble with the envoys of the Japanese State on the major affairs of the country, so he stood up trembling and said: "Your Royal Highness the Empress Dowager Qiqi, Your Majesty, the old minister feels that this matter should not be decided so rashly. ”

Empress Dowager Gao also felt that this matter involved the face of a country, if this time let the envoys of the Japanese State succeed, then other surrounding countries will follow the same example in the future, and in the future, they will put forward a written unreasonable request and be rejected by the Great Song Dynasty, and they will have to bet with the Great Song Emperor at every turn, and the national affairs will be treated as child's play, what kind of system?

As the queen mother, it is not good for her to oppose it personally, since this is the case, there is a Prime Minister Lu who understands her mind to speak for her, and she can't ask for it.

De stubborn Hachimaru said in his heart that this matter was going to be stirred up by this old man surnamed Lu, and there was nothing he could do, and the little dog Juntaro behind him stood up in person.

The old man was not right. What His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince have already promised, do you dare to oppose it? Does it mean that this old man has become the lord of His Majesty the Emperor of your country?

It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine, it's impossible in our country of the rising sun. Our Emperor is a descendant of the great god of sunshine and is deeply admired by all the people.

The Emperor's word is our golden rule; His actions are our example; He is the master of the world in our hearts......"

Lu Dafang was shocked in his heart, this Japanese cook said such a heart-wrenching sentence in front of the officials, he realized that he was reckless, just now he just saw the face of the Empress Dowager Gao, and knew that she was also reluctant to have a cooking competition with the Japanese chef to decide on trade, and he was eager to show his sacred heart in front of the Queen Mother, so he stood up against it.

But he forgot that the envoy of the Japanese State said the sentence "Jun has no jokes" before, although the little emperor was young, but in front of him he objected to what he had just agreed, which still scared Lu Dafang A layer of cold sweat oozed from his back.
