back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 155
When it was almost noon, Zhou Zhiruo asked the imperial dining room to bring lunch to the Chui Gong Hall as usual, and wanted to eat with Lu Chengqi.Before stepping into the long corridor at the end of the Chuigong Hall, you can see the official robes of various colors falling into one piece under the sun.

Zhou Zhiruo said in surprise, "What's wrong with these courtiers?"

Some servants came to answer: "These are the masters of Yushitai. It seems that they are going to impeach the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but His Majesty will not accept it, so they have been blocking the door. They said that they will wait until His Majesty comes out, and they will not agree until His Majesty agrees." Disperse."

Zhou Zhiruo was even more surprised. She didn't know many ministers, and Huang Xishi was one.This good old man has never offended anyone in his life.Even if he is a minister, he treats people with kindness. Could it be that such a good person should be impeached?Is it true that the old saying goes, horses are good at being ridden, and people are good at being bullied?

At this moment, only Heli, the supervisory censor, read the death impeachment letter that had been recited more than ten times there. It is dangerous to create a catastrophe; the improvement of military weapons has no achievements... Isn't it a vegetarian meal in the corpse's place, relying on the old to sell the old ears? This is the three major crimes..."

When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she couldn't stand it any longer, Fengyan was furious, and shouted coquettishly, "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

He Li once stared blankly at Zhou Zhiruo, unable to recover for a while.Fortunately, another inspector censor, Huangfu Dan, came to his senses and took the lead to say, "See the empress, empress Fengjia!"

After everyone saluted, Li Ran, the imperial censor Zhongcheng, calmed down and said dissatisfiedly: "The Taizu has rules, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Your Majesty's move is not in line with the etiquette system. If you want to commit a first offense, I will not impeach you. Your Majesty must pay more attention in the future. Don't talk nonsense about your own words and deeds!"

Zhou Zhiruo's phoenix eyes widened, but she couldn't find any words to refute.Fortunately, she was doted on by Lu Chengqi, and she didn't have much airs as a queen, so she flicked her sleeves and said lightly: "Bring in the lunch, and let these upright officials of Yushitai have some snacks here!"

She bit the "honest official" very hard, and Li Ran's thin face was so embarrassing that it turned blue and red, and he couldn't refute it.After the two fought each other, Zhou Zhiruo ignored these people, pushed open the door of the Chui Gong Hall, and walked in.

At this time, Lu Chengqi happened to get up and move around, doing a few push-ups or something.Seeing Zhou Zhiruo coming, she smiled and said, "It seems that I forgot to eat again..."

Zhou Zhiruo would have said in the past: "Your Majesty sent his concubine to deliver meals on purpose, right?" Now that Li Ran was in a bad mood, Zhou Zhiruo had no intention of joking with Lu Chengqi.Sitting down on Lu Chengqi's dragon chair, he pouted and didn't speak.

Lu Chengqi noticed Zhou Zhiruo's abnormality, stopped exercising, walked over and gently pressed her shoulder, and asked, "Zitong, why are you upset? Who angered you?"

Zhou Zhiruo rested her head on his chest and said, "It's not that the envoys at the gate of the palace really take themselves seriously. So do you, Your Majesty, why don't you drive them out?"

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not. If I drive them away today, my reputation will be ruined tomorrow. These people have no other skills, and they are still very good at forming factions. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, I want to have dinner with Zitong!"

Only then did Zhou Zhiruo laugh, like the peach blossoms in March, she came to the coffee table with Lu Chengqi, and said angrily, "Then, won't you be annoyed to death by them in the future, Your Majesty?"

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly and said: "Then there is no way, they can be as annoying as they want, anyway, I have time to spend with them. I just can't figure it out, Huang Xishi is such a good old minister, they don't want to retire with others ...Uh, let me let you go before you retire."

Zhou Zhiruo agreed: "That's right, these people are really hateful!"

"Let's not talk about it. Speaking of these, it will affect your appetite. Zitong, I want to see what dishes you prepared for me today?" Lu Chengqi persuaded with a smile.

"Your Majesty, guess what?"

"Could it be that Zitong is cooking again? I don't want to..." Lu Chengqi looked terrified. Ever since Zhou Zhiruo enthusiastically brought over a "goat blood soup" she personally made last time, after Lu Chengqi tried it, he almost didn't like it. Spit it out.It made Zhou Zhiruo swear that he would practice well when it comes to cooking.

The dishes at this time are mostly in the form of soup. In fact, the meat is boiled and dissolved in soup, which is called soup.This kind of soup was considered by the ancients to be the most nourishing, so from the Western Zhou Dynasty to later generations, soup has been a very common cooking method.

Zhou Zhiruo hit Lu Chengqi twice angrily, and said angrily: "The concubine has not practiced cooking well, so she will never dare to let His Majesty taste it again. These are all the special dishes of the imperial chef, I guarantee that Your Majesty has never eaten them before!"

This sentence is quite correct. Unlike other dynasties, Dashun at this time already had the cooking method of stir-frying, and some ancient cooking methods have also been preserved.This formed a spectacle, Lu Chengqi could taste different flavors of food every day, without repeating the same.

Although there are elements of royal luxury here, the food culture that has been passed down for thousands of years in China is also the main reason.Lu Chengqi said: "Oh, I have to try it carefully."

After all, let the waiter serve the dishes, which are dishes that Lu Chengqi has never seen before.The carver who carved dragons and painted phoenixes carved a decorative radish so lifelike that it greatly increased appetite.

A lunch passed quickly in a happy time.Seeing Lu Chengqi being blocked in the Chuigong Palace, Zhou Zhiruo secretly felt it was funny.But she has no way to help Lu Chengqi out of the siege, only when the gate of the palace is about to close at Youshi can she drive these people out of the palace.

After lunch, Zhou Zhiruo, who stayed for a while longer, reluctantly told Lu Chengqi not to be too tired, and then Shi Shi ran out of the Chui Gong Hall.At this moment, the sun was fierce, and the maids behind Zhou Zhiruo all held up phoenix umbrellas to block the sun.

Zhou Zhiruo walked past these imperial envoys without even looking straight at them.These imperial envoys were considered tough, and they read the impeachment letter by themselves.Zhou Zhiruo said inwardly, "These people really have problems in their heads. Don't let Huang Shangshu fail, and put yourself in!"

The 47 imperial envoys at Yushitai, except for Huangfu Dan who was reading the letter of impeachment, all looked at Zhou Zhiruo, who had a huge aura, and they all praised Zhou Yanhua for giving birth to a good daughter, who captured the emperor's heart so quickly.

These imperial envoys, do you think they really don't have emotions and desires, just like saints?In fact, the dirty and filthy thoughts in their hearts are not necessarily less than others.Seeing their colleagues get promoted one by one, they are not in a hurry.Under Li Ran's repeated instigation, he jumped up and down on the saddle. Isn't it just to add some political achievements and prevent the Supervision Department from taking the lead!
If the political achievements are obtained and everyone is promoted, then everyone will be happy.This is also the reason why Yushitai has been surprisingly consistent these few times.To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of profit.They may not really want to impeach to death, it's just a stepping stone.

A day passed by in a hurry, and at three o'clock in the unitary hour, the palace gate was closed, and these imperial envoys and officials left the palace with the support of the servants.They were neither hungry nor thirsty, mainly because they were dizzy from the sun and hadn't recovered for a long time.

Li Ran still wanted to come back the next day, but some of the imperial envoys had already started to retreat.

　The grades are a bit bleak, is it really bad writing?When I read it myself, I still find it very readable...
