Chapter Twenty-Seven: Starting Anew

"Who's that, yes, just say you, come here, come here!"

Zhu Youzhen called Guan Ning over angrily. In fact, he didn't really forget Guan Ning's name, but he finally became the prince again, so he had to tremble his majesty. Shaking majesty with beautiful women, he has not yet developed this habit; But with Guan Ning, a dead eunuch, it seems that he doesn't have to be so polite.

Guan Ning was just beaten by Wei Zhongxian last night, and he was uncomfortable in his heart, he just wanted to find a reason, find a eunuch or a palace maid to punish him, and let out this evil breath in his chest. But the breakfast of the prince and the princess must be arranged every day, and he has to be busy for a while. At this time, everything stopped, and just wanted to take a breath and rest for a while, he was summoned by Zhu Youzhen.

Guan Ning secretly thought, how comfortable Lao Tzu was in Shangshan Supervisor back then, except for honoring his godfather Wei Zhongxian, it was really no one who was a bird, even the top boss, the chief eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor, did not dare to yell at our family. But now that he is serving King Ning in the Wenhua Palace, he is under the eaves and has to bow his head! There is no way, the sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve them... I can't remember what's next!

Thinking so in his heart, on the surface, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward, pretending to be respectful and asked, "What does the prince command?" ”

Zhu Youzhen had a wagging expression: "Let me ask you, why is this breakfast exactly the same as yesterday's dinner?" Didn't you bring the overnight meal to the king again, ah? Didn't I tell you yesterday that this king doesn't like to eat these things? ”

He took a bite of "this king", tried his best to put on the posture of the prince, and was very happy in his heart: haha, being a prince is cool, at least he can train people unscrupulously. Brother was trained as a grandson all day long in his previous life, and this time he has to get it back!

Guan Ning replied with a smile: "The prince is angry, you are borrowing the courage of the slave, and the slave will not dare to give you the overnight meal!" Wang Ye Mingjian, yesterday's dinner, because the prince didn't like to eat, the mother had already given it to the eunuchs and palace maids to eat. The current breakfast has just been delivered from the Shang Diet Supervisor. Moreover, the palace has its own rules for meals, and this Shang Diet Supervisor also sends meals according to the regulations, which is no different from the prince's usual meals, but for some reason, it is not in line with the prince's appetite! ”

Zhu Youzhen was actually deliberately looking for faults, and asked: "You said that this king used to eat these things?" Why doesn't this king look like it? Come on, come on, you report the name of the dishes to this king, and this king will hear which dishes they are. ”

Guan Ning has served in the Shangshan Supervisor for many years, and he naturally knows the meals of each palace well, and said busily: "Back to the prince, today's breakfast has a total of 12 meat dishes, four noodles, four soups, and four dried fruits. Meat dishes include: steamed anchovies, roast suckling pig, Tianxiang abalone, fragrant sesame venison, braised prawns, five-spice sauce chicken, red oil duck, steamed bear paws, sauced donkey meat, tangerine peel rabbit meat, roe deer spine, five-silk hump; The pastries are: ..."

"Stop, stop!" Zhu Youzhen didn't want to listen to Guan Ning's stand-up comedy, "Why are there only meat dishes and no vegetarian dishes?" ”

Guan Ning said unhurriedly: "Back to the prince, when Taizu Hong Wuye established the palace regulations, there were only meat dishes in this imperial meal, and there were no vegetarian dishes. Only eunuchs and palace maids served vegetarian dishes. ”

Zhu Youzhen almost didn't believe his ears. I've only heard of vegetarians, but I've never heard of meat eaters! Eating only meat and not vegetarian, isn't this a wolf, insect, tiger and leopard? He looked at Rui'er with an inquiring eye, but saw that Rui'er also bowed slightly to him, and then he knew that Guan Ning was not talking nonsense, but that this was really the case.

Zhu Youzhen frowned and thought about it for a long time before he roughly guessed what happened.

Thinking that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he was originally a Huaiyou cloth, born in a poor stick, and it is said that he was a monk for a few days. It is estimated that he was afraid of eating bran and swallowing vegetables, and after becoming the emperor, he only ate meat and did not eat vegetarian in retaliation.

And the emperors after that, basically grew up in honeypots, and they are used to eating meat, and they may not feel that there is anything wrong.

But brother can't! We know that vegetables are rich in vitamins, and it is okay not to eat vegetables at one meal, and there are no vegetables at three meals a day, so it must be scurvy!

So he flicked his sleeves and feigned anger: "It's not appetizing, don't eat or eat!" This king wants to eat vegetarian dishes now, you eunuchs can still eat it, but this king doesn't, can it be said that this king is not as good as a eunuch? You go to the Shang Diet Supervisor and ask them to send the ingredients to the Wenhua Palace. This king ate the food cooked by the princess yesterday, but in the future, let the Shang Shan Supervisor not send food here, this king only eats the food cooked by the princess! ”

In fact, Zhu Youzhen purely used the topic to play, and even he felt that the reason was too far-fetched. Even if you want to eat vegetarian dishes, can't you let the Shang Diet Superintendent do it, and you have to let the princess cook it herself?

After thinking about it, it is still a small life, it is not easy to cross this time, I know that I was almost poisoned by Wei Zhongxian, how can I still be so arrogant. Even if he dies, my brother has to be heavier than Mount Tai, and being poisoned is too uncreative, and he will bleed like Wu Dalang, which will affect our hero image too much.

Rui'er also cooperated, and as soon as she heard Zhu Youzhen's words, she immediately echoed: "Father-in-law, since the prince loves to eat the food cooked in the palace, he has to work hard and do what the prince tells him." ”

Guan Ning grinned and said: "Back to the prince's mother, it's not that the slave doesn't obey the order, it's really the rules in the palace!" There are regulations for what to cook and how much to cook every day, and it is a sin to violate the regulations! Last night's dinner, it was still thanks to the slave who had served as the supervisor of Shangshan, and he was very popular, and he talked to others for a long time, so he was accommodating and let the servant take away some ingredients. If you do this again today, the slave and the monk will have to take care of it! In case the celebrant blames him, the slave can't afford to eat it! ”

Zhu Youzhen thought that he was holding the prince's big hat and pressed it, and Guan Ning immediately had to do it obediently, but this Guan Ning complained a lot of bitterness, but the central idea was two words: no! Suddenly anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Guan Ning's nose and scolded: "Your uncle, this king is not good at speaking, right?" You are afraid that the celebrant will blame, and don't forget, you are now under the king! I ask you, do you listen to the king, or to the celebrants? ”

Guan Ning saw that Zhu Youzhen was angry, but he was also three points afraid, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Back to the prince, the eunuchs in the palace are all under the jurisdiction of the twenty-four yamen." And among the twenty-four yamen, the celebrant is the leader, so of course the servants have to listen to the celebrant eunuch. But since the slaves serve the prince, they naturally have to listen to the prince. So, the minions are now in a dilemma! Or, Lord Wang, you tell Gonggong Wei of the celebrant to let the celebrant not punish the minions, the minions are easy to do! ”

"Which Father-in-law Wei?" Zhu Youzhen was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"It's the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong." Guan Ning replied respectfully, but he thought in his heart, our family will move out of the godfather, I don't believe you are not afraid!

Sure enough, as soon as he heard the words "Wei Zhongxian", Zhu Youzhen was like a deflated ball, his legs were weak, and he fell into the chair. After a while, he said in a sneering manner: "The factory is in charge of all opportunities, and I am afraid that I can't control such a trivial matter as what kind of food this king eats." ”

Seeing that this trick really worked, Guan Ning suddenly had confidence, coughed and said, "The slaves don't know about the things outside the palace." But the big and small things in this palace, no matter how they go around, they have to go around to Gonggong Wei in the end, and they must be approved by Gonggong Wei. ”

Zhu Youzhen still had luck in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Isn't that factory too hard." Didn't you just say that there are twenty-four yamen? What are the duties of each of these yamen? ”

"Back to the prince, the twenty-four yamen is a general term, which is divided into twelve prisons, four divisions, and eight bureaus." Guan Ning was even more proud when he asked about the field he was good at, and said Kankan, "These twelve eunuchs are: the celebrant supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the secretary set up the supervisor, the imperial supervisor, the divine palace supervisor, the Shangshan supervisor, the Shangbao supervisor, the seal ribbon supervisor, the Zhidian supervisor, the Shangyi supervisor, and the Duzhi supervisor; The four divisions are the Salary Division, the Bell and Drum Division, the Treasure Money Division, and the Mixed Hall Division; The eight bureaus are the War Bureau, the Silver Bureau, the Huanyi Bureau, the Towel and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, and the Siyuan Bureau. ”

"Yes, don't you see that it's very finely divided, each performing its own duties, and each in charge of a section! Isn't the factory supervisor the celebrant of ceremonies, isn't it okay to take care of the affairs of the celebrant and the celebrant well? Zhu Youzhen is still arguing with strong words.

Guan Ning said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the slave has already said just now, among the twenty-four yamen, the master of ceremonies is respected. In addition to being in charge of the power to approve the red and propagate the decree, the celebrant is also in charge of all internal supervision affairs, as well as the East Factory, as well as various external errands. The appointment and dismissal of the other yamen stewards and eunuchs were also decided by the eunuchs who held the seal of the celebrant eunuch. The palm print eunuch Wang Tiqian is very old and doesn't take care of things, and now it is all the father-in-law of Wei who is sitting in the house. Do you think, with Gonggong Wei here, which yamen dares to come nonsense? Take this Shang Shan Jian as an example, how many ingredients are purchased from outside the palace every day, how much money is spent, and how many dishes are cooked, all of which are under account management, and at the end of the month, they have to be reported to the master of ceremonies for Grandpa Wei to see. If he doesn't count it, the chief eunuch of Shangshan Prison will have to be punished, and if he doesn't do it well, he will have to let Gonggong Wei remove him from his post and punish him to brush the gong bucket! Therefore, the prince's orders are really difficult to handle, and please ask the prince to be considerate of the servants and wait for some! ”

In fact, Guan Ning's words are not unreasonable. But Zhu Youzhen was willing to make trouble, how could he be willing. He thought hard for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Father-in-law, this king is in a hurry, I heard you just now, and I knew that there are so many rules here." Don't blame those who don't know, don't mind. ”

Guan Ning thought that Zhu Youzhen was going to be soft, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Wang, this is a slave!" The slave is dedicated to serving the prince, and the prince is a nobleman, if you want to beat or scold, it is the blessing of the slave. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't get down his steps, and said with a wicked smile: "This king doesn't want you to make it difficult, but this king really doesn't want to eat these meals." Isn't it wasted that the food supervisor has worked so hard to make? Let's just talk to the people in the Shang Diet Supervisor, and directly discount the ingredients given to me, and divide half of them when we meet. In the future, the ingredients of the Wenhua Palace will be purchased directly by the king, and there will be no more trouble with the Shang Shan Supervisor. How good is this, Shang Shan Jian saves money and effort, and this king can also eat a smooth meal! ”

Guan Ning almost collapsed, he said a lot of words in vain just now, this thing doesn't understand at all! I had to say patiently: "Lord, this can't work!" When you reconcile the accounts at the end of the month, how do you stay with Wei Gong bus? ”

Zhu Youzhen said casually: "Isn't this simple? If you make a fake account, it won't be settled. ”
