Chapter 2 Garlic, ginger and shallots

[Latest chapter reading.]

When I got out of the imperial study, the sun was already on three poles, the sun was dazzling, and the place was white Xu Jie was controlled by Chang Sihao in his hands Stride up the Long Live Mountain I saw that the wine banquet had been placed in the small pavilion among the flowers on the mountainside The dishes are simple and the style is not much, but it has a unique style Feng Bao was waiting next to him Seeing the three of them from afar, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted Long Qing entered the pavilion and sat down in the shade Chang Sihao put Xu Jie in the position of Chongyang and sat next to him and said: "The hill is not big, after all, the wind is cool, the emperor, let's find a robe for the elder of the pavilion."

Long Qing saw that Xu Jie had climbed these few steps up the mountain, and the cloth on his forehead was slightly wet, and he was obviously sweating, and hesitated: "It's almost June weather now, and the set of cotton on the old man's body is still thick I feel that the robe is not necessary when I see it" Chang Sihao smiled and said: "Eh, after all, how old is the old man, how can he compare to your spring and autumn prosperity, blood and strength Not to mention that the old man is still sick If you suffer from the cold again, it will be terrible Feng Bao also said: "Your Majesty, what the marquis said is very good, you can see that the old man is sweating on his forehead He is weak How can he suffer from the evil wind again." Long Qing smiled and nodded: "It's rare that you think so thoughtfully for the elder of the pavilion."

Feng Bao didn't make much effort to bring a fox fur that mopped the floor Chang Sihao looked at it secretly in his eyes Thinking that you guys are more immoral than me Stretched out his hand and took the big one to admire It said: "This is good, if you want to say that you have a vision, you have to be the third prince At a young age, others don't want to like this 'big companion' Why isn't it that Gonggong Feng knows that this heart is in his eyes?"

These words are not only praising the third prince Zhu Yijun but also praising Feng Bao However, what kind of vision does the child have, naturally the emperor arranged it well Long Qing smiled when he heard it

Feng Bao also felt very honored, and was busy saluting on the side: "Hou Ye praised the slave, this is all a matter of internal affairs It should be, it should be Hou Ye may not know it March 11 The third prince has been named the crown prince " Chang Sihao hugged Da Yu and smiled: "Ouch, this is a good thing" Long Qing smiled: "Yijun, this kid is talented and intelligent, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also felt that it was better to determine this matter earlier, so they picked an auspicious day to do it, and at the same time pardoned the world and celebrated It's a pity that you are not in the capital."

Most of the royal families have to give amnesty to the world whenever there is a happy event Chang Sihao listened to him and teased him a little more Suddenly he understood the intention: Since all the sins and prisoners in the world are pardoned, then the Qingteng military master Xu Wei can naturally be released In addition to being happy, he immediately thought that the matter of making Zhu Yijun the prince of a country was by no means a hasty decision Longqing must have already made arrangements So at the New Year's banquet, he did not completely pardon Xu Wei for his innocence In fact, it was to take care of the faces of Xu Jie, Li Chunfang and a few people He didn't say many things But he had already calculated in his stomach It seems that this sour man's brain is really not to be underestimated What makes Chang Sihao even happier is that the handling of this matter reflects the subtlety of some situations The emperor's attitude towards the two elders of Xu and Li is self-evident He stood up and put the fox Qiu Dayu on Xu Jie personally and said: "Xiaojun can be a good prince It has to be said that the elder of the pavilion is competent and has meritorious teaching."

Xu Jie hurriedly thanked him, only saying that the prince was smart and wise, and he was just properly inspired He was wearing a second cotton suit with the sun behind him I felt the heat go up to the back of my head for a while Now I put on a fox fur It is really uncomfortable and uncomfortable But at this time, I can't always say that I am okay in front of the emperor I have to thank Chang Sihao and Feng Bao with a smile In addition, thank the emperor Chang Sihao smiled secretly in his heart: "Lao Tzu wrapped you like garlic You still have to pretend to be a big petal for Lao Tzu " said in a continuous voice: "Oh, the elder Ge works hard for the country." We should do this little thing Why should the elder be so polite "After that, he returned to his seat with a smile

The three of them used chopsticks to eat and drink Long Qing, as an emperor, was dignified and dignified Xu Jie, who pretended to be a subordinate, was cautious Chang Sihao didn't have any rules Look at which one is good, just put it in your mouth The green vegetables are more crispy than splitting bamboo Eating and eating He pinched the chopsticks and looked around between the dishes as if he felt that there was something short Recruit the waiter to ask for a piece of ginger, two pieces of green onions, and a few cloves of garlic Put them in the research cup and mash them personally Feng Bao saw it in his eyes and secretly worried about him: "Eating these is full of stinky mouths If the emperor smells it, shouldn't he treat you with a big disrespect" But it is inconvenient to speak Look to the side Xu Jie was silent, as if he hadn't seen it, obviously waiting to see Chang Sihao's joke Long Qing put on chopsticks and served the two of them with vegetables: "Brother Xian's trip has eliminated a military disaster in Wara, and the elder of the pavilion has contributed a lot You two, one is my Ming Dynasty's Optimus White Jade Pillar The other is the sea purple gold beam How close will you be in the future?"

The emperor personally picked up the dishes, which is not trivial Xu Jie hurriedly got up and thanked him sincerely: "The emperor has a good reputation, and the old minister is ashamed to be ashamed" As soon as this look came out, it seemed that Chang Sihao, who was only concerned about pounding garlic, was very rude Long Qing pressed his hand and asked him not to be polite Hurry up and return to his seat

Chang Sihao smiled and said: "What is there to dare not be, according to me, Ge Lao is a beam, a pillar, there are beams and pillars, and this house is propped up, Ge Lao, you have to pay attention to your body, you are sick, it is equivalent to Liang Zhu has worms, you fall down, don't we have to follow the collapse?"

Xu Jie's buttocks just touched the chair, and he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Master Hou, don't you dare to say that, is it the ...... of the old man in this court?"

Long Qing was stopped by him and shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."

Chang Sihao smiled: "I didn't think that when I was on the boat a while ago, I listened to it from a friend, and he said that these dishes we eat Although the appearance is different, in fact, it is all water, it is yin, so the cold is mostly onions, ginger and garlic are yang, can heat, can get rid of the cold in the dish, so make a balance of yin and yang, delicious and not sick."

Long Qing said: "Oh, this statement is also fresh, Ge Lao, you are a well-educated family, I don't know if it makes sense for Yunzhong Hou to say this."

Xu Jiedao: "Back to the emperor, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, in fact, it is not only about the importance of food and clothing, but also in the diet, there is its own way of heaven, go with the way, eat is to nourish the body, go against the way, and the disease enters from the mouth, when the sage of Confucius said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but he is very particular about the diet, there was a taste that is not tired of eating, and he is not tired of fine words, and the three meals are not good in color and taste, and he does not eat Fruits, vegetables, and meat are not cut properly, and he does not eat The cooking method is not right, and he does not eat What Hou Ye just said is that the practice is exquisite, and everything has yin and yang, and it also has its bias The ancients paid attention to the proper compatibility Correcting deviations and taking the middle is in line with the statement of Hou Ye's friend."

Long Qing said with a smile: "Cooking is also about compatibility, it's a bit like dispensing medicine."

Chang Sihao said with a smile: "Yes, who said that medicine is not a vegetable, vegetables are not medicines, in fact, they are all grown on the ground, and the temperament is too biased, and it is not suitable to take medicine often, which is relatively mild, and it is not necessary to eat it so clearly, even if it is a dish, it is not necessary to distinguish it so clearly" As he spoke, he stretched out his big hand and copied Xu Jie's wine glass, and poured the mashed ginger, onion juice and garlic in the cup, and said: "These three things are the most chilly, and the old man is not all good if he drinks this disease, but it must be half better" and smiled and looked at the cup in front of Longqing: "Your Majesty, you have to pour this cup of wine Borrow the hand of your holy son of heaven." This is also a fairy medicine."

Long Qing laughed and personally held the pot and filled the wine glass Chang Sihao stood up, held it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Xu Jie: "Ge Lao, come on"

Xu Jie looked at the wine glass, which was yellow and greasy, sticky, as if it was a cup of millet paste, thick and spicy, straight to his nostrils, and then he realized that he had been rounded in, his eyes were slanted to Chang Sihao, the skin and flesh on the cheekbones wrinkled a few times, and he smiled and stretched out his palm and pushed slightly: "Master Hou, the old man is drinking and coughing, I am afraid that I will be rude and collide with the emperor, so I don't drink this wine."

"Hey, hey" Chang Sihao leaned back according to his push, hurriedly used his hand to protect the cup, shook it twice, and it was easy to stand firm, wiped his head and said: "It's so dangerous, it's dangerous, this wine is poured by the emperor himself, don't talk about whether to drink or not, even if you spill it, I can't afford it" His body movements were very real, and even Long Qing looked at it as if Xu Jie wanted to deliberately spill the wine, and his face was a little unpleasant

Xu Jie saw that the emperor was displeased, so he had to take the wine glass with both hands Thank the emperor for his kindness first, and then stared at Chang Sihao's face for a moment Raise his glass and raise his head and dry it Chang Sihao looked at it with a smile When he saw the bottom of the glass, he applauded loudly This glass of wine went down Xu Jie only felt that a fire was burning from his heart to his mouth The whole tongue and mouth were hot and numb Chang Sihao scooped two spoonfuls of mutton soup at the right time Filial piety and grandson handed it over He didn't care much He took it and drank it For a while, the beads of sweat on his face were running in the wrinkles Dripping down the tip of his beard The white cloth band on his head had collapsed with sweat

Chang Sihao returned to his seat with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what do you think, as the saying goes, you need to recuperate, you have to recuperate, you can't keep sweating, this sweat comes out, and the evil will disappear by itself, and the old man will be sick at the end of it."

Khan can't raise the old man and raise the Khan [Han] What has become of it, and the illness is good, not to say that the illness is good, but only to the end, isn't it a death Feng Bao didn't dare to be happy when he listened to it Xu Jie's strength eased up a little, but his face was extremely useful, and he smiled: "Hehehehe, borrow the good words of the Hou Ye If the old man's illness can really 'end', it will be given by the Hou Ye."

Chang Sihao said with a smile: "Where did Elder Ge say You are the world, but it is not your body alone Illness is not your disease alone That Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the people of the Ming Dynasty are all looking forward to it If this cup of cold wine really works It is a 'blessing of the world' "When he spoke, he rubbed his index finger under his nose intentionally or unintentionally

This is quite similar to Guo Shu Ronghua's posture Xu Jie is naturally familiar Now he is the son of the Zhu family Dongchang Tianxia The four words "blessing of the world" seem to vaguely imply a certain camp He sighed in his heart, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to other directions

Chang Sihao saw that he moved slightly, the seam of his neck and clothes rattled, and his sweat clothes were as wet as the crotch of an old lady's rancid pants, but he was still so stable and calm, and he couldn't help but secretly admire him, thinking that he had to work harder, so he held up the cup and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, I have learned a little about Gutian on this trip to the south" Longqing perked up: "Oh, let's hear it."

Chang Sihao said: "Wei Yinbao is just a farmer, and most of the people under him are poor, they can gather 100,000 people in Gutian, and they can't make such a big noise, without financial and material resources, Guangxi is surrounded by some Miao barbarians, farming is not developed, and many are still living on hunting, where do they get the money?"

The growth of Gutian is supported by Juhao Pavilion This is very clear in Longqing and Xu Jie's hearts But Longqing wants to use Xu Jie to govern the country I don't want to get too entangled in this issue Since the fight against Sanjun and the East Factory, Xu Jie has always wanted to get rid of the connection with Juhao Pavilion So the two of them can understand it, but they don't come to take this stubble

Chang Sihao didn't mention the matter of Juhao Pavilion Eyes withdrew from the faces of the two and said: "According to my visit, they have some big financial owners who are supporting these people who have been very close to the Japanese Bandits, and they are all smugglers and forbidden businesses.

These words were a bit of a trance Xu Jie heard that there was something behind him that was more choking than onions, ginger and garlic Long Qing sank his face: "When the Japanese were rampant, it was these people who vigorously covered and supported the elimination of the Japanese Bandits, and they disappeared and disappeared In fact, they are still thieves who are not dead As the so-called no family thieves can not attract foreign ghosts It seems that these disasters still have to be dug up by the roots It is better to clean up them as a whole Brother Xian, since you have found out about this matter, you have some specific eyebrows "

Chang Sihao casually glanced at Xu Jie, and said: "Most of these wealthy people are gathered in the Jiangdong and Jiangbei areas, and I have already caught two main suspects on the way back to Beijing."

As soon as Xu Jie heard this, he felt that some places in his body were tense, and he smiled slightly: "Congratulations to Master Hou for making another great contribution, I don't know what these two criminals confessed."

Chang Sihao said: "The criminal can't be said yet, but there is this suspect, I have already handed it over to Dongchang, they are still looking for evidence, as for whether they can be convicted in the future, it is difficult to say, but according to the current situation, these people must have the support of the court and important ministers behind them, and the matter is not very easy to investigate."

Long Qing said with a deep "um" and said: "Bandits and businessmen must have officials to protect each other before they can be smooth sailing and invincible Xu Ge Lao was like the ancestors of Kong Ming and Liu Chan I am a dull person and I have no success in government affairs and no achievements in personnel You know best about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty You must cooperate with Ronghua in this matter to ensure that it is handled properly, but there are traitors and misleading the country, don't be tolerated."

Xu Jie heard that this was a bit heavy, and hurriedly got up and said: "It is the dereliction of duty of the old minister to help the traitor in the court, and this time I must cooperate with the East Factory to investigate to the end to repay my lord Long En and the first emperor for the virtue of knowing and encountering."

Chang Sihao glanced at it with a smile and raised his big finger: "The family is poor and filial piety, and the country is in chaos and shows loyal ministers" raised his wine and said: "Come to the pavilion and I'll give you another glass"

After the banquet, Xu Jie returned to the mansion wearing a fox fur The third son Xu Ying came over and took a look Dengshi was stunned: "Dad, what kind of madness are you doing Why did you put this thing on a hot day " Xu Jie was silent, lowered his head and walked in, and went straight into the second gate, and then threw the fox fur on the ground

Xu Ying hurriedly came over and moved the Taishi chair to let him sit down under the shade of the flowers, grabbed a small fan, spread out his clothes, and fanned his father, only to see him close his eyes and lean on the chair for a long time, panting for hot air, but suddenly laughed out loud
