Yipin Tianxia

Gao Xian considered himself a very enlightened emperor. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was equivalent to the beginning of starting a family. There was no savings in the family, and he didn't pay much attention to those ceremonies. You have to make sense of it.

Therefore, even Lu Zhengming, who wished he could wake up twelve hours a day to touch the hands of beauties, and people who were drunk and lying on beauties' knees, all had full energy to work on errands.

To say that Emperor Gao Xian's request is not difficult to meet, the emperor does not let them control the breakfast on Mid-Autumn Festival, and does not let them criticize at night.That is, there will be a state banquet at noon to entertain foreign envoys and three hundred talents.After the banquet is over, everyone can go home to reunite and enjoy the moon.

In fact, the state banquet for lunch does not need to be done by the adults in the Ministry of Rites. It is just necessary to report the menu to the imperial dining room in advance according to the rank and ethnic habits of the guests, and take care of it at that time, so as not to serve the wrong dishes and cause conflicts. up.

It stands to reason that such a simple thing should not be a problem at all, but the problem is a tormenting little goblin. The more you don't want it to come, the more it will come.

Imperial Palace, Linde Hall.

In the atmosphere of joyous singing and laughter, a foreign envoy with unique costumes stood up and said in skilled Daliang official language, "Your Majesty, I just heard that talented scholars in your country are reciting poems against each other. People outside the customs are envious. But I don't know something, and I want to ask you talented scholars."

This is obviously the rhythm of picking things up.Emperor Gao Xian smiled slightly, and made a note of the Qiyan tribe represented by this old man in his heart, but asked meekly and magnanimously on his face. "What is it?"

Haas, the envoy who came from the northern grasslands, said to Ludao, "I would like to ask you talented scholars, you Han people have a saying, how should you entertain friends who come from afar?"

Many people in the court have already cursed inwardly. This person has specialized in dealing with Han people since the previous court.

A talented man in white suddenly stood up.He said loudly, "Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? I think not only the people of Daliang said and did this, but also the noble people, right? Your Excellency asked this, is it because of our country's hospitality? Why are you dissatisfied? If there is any, you might as well say it bluntly, such twists and turns, it really loses the style of an open-minded man!"

Gao Xian nodded slightly, young man, his courage is commendable.Directly transform national events into personal demeanor and national cultivation, frank and generous.Not bad.

The eunuch Taiping stepped forward and whispered, "This is the book of tens of thousands of words. The son who spoke for the girl who was raped, Ji Yue. This time, he won No. 17."

Gao Xian was even more satisfied, "Speak out righteously without losing his tact, let him go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to learn how to solve cases, or let him learn how to deal with envoys from various countries under the Ministry of Rites."

"Yes." Taiping lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, and quickly took out his portable paper to write down.

But Haas Chaolu is a treacherous and cunning old man, but it is not so easy to deal with. "The boldness and generosity, the twists and turns are all because of doing as the Romans do. Since the young master asked me to speak out, then I will be outspoken."

After striking back fiercely, he didn't give the talents of Daliang a chance to retaliate, so he held up a plate of roast lamb specially prepared for him in front of him, "Since everyone in your country knows the principle of hospitality, why give it to me?" Serve this kind of half-roasted mutton? I remember that the previous dynasty also came to this imperial city for a banquet. At that time, the same roast mutton was served, but it was so delicious that it melted in the mouth. Now it’s a new dynasty. Has it become like this?"

He looked at the aloof Emperor Gao Xian, and sneered provocatively, "Could it be that Liang Chao thinks that our Qiyan people are not enough to be your friends, so even a mid-autumn banquet can be easily fooled!"

As soon as this was said, the wits were dumbfounded.

Why is this foreign guy so cunning, instead of talking about big things with them, he started talking about food?Although this matter is small, it can be considered a major event if you think about it seriously. After all, there is a five-year difference between the new dynasty and the old dynasty, so there is nothing you can do about it?

The emperor's face turned cold, and his eyes swept aside, and the Minister of Rites suddenly broke out in sweat.Hurry up and ask someone to call Lu Zhengming, the doctor of the food department, but when Master Lu heard that this was the case, he changed hands and caught the other person.

"Master Ouyang, I have repeatedly told you a few days ago that we must do a good job in entertaining foreign envoys. How did you do it?"

Ouyang Jin wanted to scold her, but I'm not a cook, why are you pushing me?

"This roast mutton is made by the royal chef in the palace. How do I know what's wrong? Otherwise, I can ask Eunuch Cai from Shangshi Bureau, and I may find out."

Cai Xiang, the chief eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau, is Lu Zhengming's godfather. As soon as he heard that he was involved in the matter, Master Lu's face turned black, but Ouyang Jin's words were also reasonable, and the envoy of Fanbang was still standing in the hall. Just scolding Ouyang Jin is useless, but you can't push him to cook, you still have to find someone who can solve the problem.Isn't that just the imperial dining room?

So Mr. Lu had no choice but to look for his godfather in person with a sad face. Of course, he didn't forget to drag Ouyang Jin, because at critical times, there must be a backup by his side.

Ouyang Jin scolded him to death in his heart, but he couldn't resist.He was also trembling in his heart, what if this matter was not handled well, what would he do?

In the main hall, faced with Haschaolu's questioning, another talented man stood up, "Your envoy just said a very good saying, that is, do as the Romans do. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the emperor, the courtiers. We ordinary people also It is often said that which song to sing on which mountain. Now that the new emperor has changed, it is naturally different from the previous dynasty. Your envoy is used to the taste of the previous dynasty. If you don’t know how to work around it, then it’s not that our Daliang is unwilling to make friends with you Qiyan, but that you Qiyan’s heart is attached to the previous dynasty and you deliberately want to be an enemy of my Daliang. May I ask your envoy, is it true?”

These words, both soft and hard, were impermeable, and actually blocked the old treacherous foreign envoy there.

Emperor Gao Xian was applauding inwardly, when he saw this man brought a glass of wine to the envoy of that state himself, he smiled heartily, "But I think the fact that your envoy is here today proves that the Qiyan people never want to fight against me. It's just a little matter of food and drink, why should your envoy care about it? Come, please drink this cup to the full, a man has a broad mind, if the two countries are really fighting over a plate of roast mutton, wouldn't it make the world laugh?"

well said!

Gao Xian's eyes showed a bit of admiration. This person no longer uses Taiping to introduce him. Seeing him in a big red robe, he stands out among the white-clothed talents. This is the No. 1 exam in this dynasty——Wang Can.

Has Chaolu was speechless, so he had to take the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but at the end he turned around and offered a full bowl with his own big bowl, "Then please fill this glass too, my lord! "

He saw the young man as frail and thought he was incapable of drinking.Unexpectedly, this Wang Can took the wine bowl, but he did it without hesitation, and finally patted him on the shoulder without changing his expression, "Thank you!"

Haas sat down towards Lu, and a diplomatic provocation disappeared in an instant.

Ouyang Zhuang sat far away because of his lower ranking, but he thought that even if he sat in the first row, he might not be able to cope with this red-robed number one scholar or that Ji Dacai.

It seems that the admissions this time are all genuine, especially the No. [-] Scholar, who is really eloquent and demeanor. I just don't know who it is from, can you make friends?

There is a talented man whispering beside him, "The first name this time is from the famous Langya Wang family. The foundation of hundreds of years is beyond my reach. If he hadn't already had a wife and children, I'm afraid this time he will be the first one. I will be recruited by the emperor to be the son-in-law."

"You are wrong here. If you really become a son-in-law, you will not be able to serve in the court. You can only be an idle doctor. Even if you are unmarried, he may not be willing."

"In this way, don't you and me who are not yet married should be careful? If you fall in love with some princess, your future will be ruined."

"Isn't it? You see, although our clothes are the same, why are there no decorations on the headscarves we married, but we have an extra flower? It sounds good, because we young people want to be full of flowers to add to the banquet." But look behind the curtain, isn’t it the jewelry worn by the women that faintly refracts the light?”

Ouyang Zhuang's heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the flower next to the scarf, but before he touched it, he put it down dejectedly.If it is really unlucky to be found by others, how dare you not marry?Now he is thankful that he is ranked in the average, sitting in the back, not so ostentatious.

Just thinking of the big brother suddenly, although Ouyang Zhuang felt a little sorry for him, he was also glad that he didn't come, if he came, it would definitely be the constitution of a princess, maybe there would be a fight for him.At that time, the whole family must not offer sacrifices to their ancestors?

He laughed here, but he didn't know that his father was already bubbling in a hurry.

"Why is this my responsibility? I copied the recipe one by one. The envoy who begs Yan wants to eat mutton, what's wrong with that?"

"Why is it not your fault?" Lu Zhengming and his godfather Cai Eunuch teamed up to bully people, "Since you are in charge of copying food, why don't you ask people's taste? He has been in the capital for a day or two. If you You put your heart into it, how could you make such a joke?"

Ouyang Jin was so speechless that he wanted to cry but had no tears.

In the face of critical interests, everyone has given full play to their greatest wisdom to seek self-protection.

Cai Xiang from Shangshi Bureau firmly insisted that the cook's cooking was fine, but the problem was that the Ministry of Rituals didn't explain it clearly, and the guests liked worse ones.

And Lu Zhengming also helped to shift the responsibility to Ouyang Jin.He may be a little worse in other skills, but he is first-rate in his facial expressions.If it is said that there is a problem with the emperor's imperial dining room, it is equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face. No matter how enlightened the emperor Gao Xian is, he can't afford to lose this face.So it could only be that Ouyang Jin, who was running errands and running errands, was unfavorable in spreading the word that something happened.
