Chapter 691 Fire fighting requires a sense of ritual(1/2)
Fei Zhong had no choice but to eat Nanzi's tofu.
He didn't dare to get involved in the two of them, and refused Chen Xuanqiu's invitation and just waited in the corridor, as anxious as an ant on the hot pan.
Chen Xuanqiu was not in a hurry, just savoring the delicacies slowly. Fei Zhong walked around outside the door with hints, and from time to time he could see Chen Xuanqiu and Nan Zi rubbing their hands, and didn't know what he was whispering.
After finally having a meal, Chen Xuanqiu rinsed his mouth with warm tea water and came out slowly.
Fei Zhongxi showed his expression and hurried forward, saying, "Shaobao, hurry up, hurry up, all the ministers are forcing the palace, I'm afraid the king can't bear it."
Chen Xuanqiu said: "No hurry, no hurry, this newly invented tofu is very delicious.
I asked Miss Nanzi to make some more and bring it to the king to taste?"
When Fei Zhong heard this, he was stunned.
It's so popular, do you still have to eat tofu?
When did Chen Shaobao become a foodie?
...There were crowds in the court. This time, because many princes stood in front of the team, the doctor Chang Hui seemed to be more confident.
The Western Rebellion has just been quelled. Do the king dare to anger the princes of all sides and make another chaos?
Dr. Chang Hui stood in front, full of energy and extraordinary pride.
The once marginalized and frustrated Doctor Chang Hui has now become the banner of traditional conservative forces. The feeling of being surrounded by and being touted every day makes him feel a little lost in his heart.
The rebellion in Ji Kingdom was settled, and everyone knew that the king was carrying out the power of great victory. He wanted to take the opportunity to implement his new policy.
What is most worrying about in the new policy of Yinshou is the abolition of slavery.
These princes were all great slave owners, which directly harmed their vital interests.
They guarded one side because there were a large number of slaves who could not move in the population, which ensured their greater independence.
The more the forces that benefit from it, the harder it is to turn around and reform in this change, so they firmly oppose it.
Originally, Da Yong quelled the rebellion of the Ji Kingdom. With Emperor Yong's great military achievements at this time, he would have to implement civil governance next. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only make trouble in secret, drag their backs on their backs, stubbornly disobey, and delay the implementation. There was no better way to publicly oppose it.
But God follows the wishes of man, and disasters occur frequently in all directions, so there is a reason to attack the emperor.
Because natural disasters such as famine, plague, floods, locust plagues have always been regarded as the phenomenon that the emperor is unrighteous and the heaven brings divine punishment.
As long as one of these disasters occurs and the disaster is so serious that it is uncontrollable, the emperor will issue a "self-crime edict" to take the initiative to review and ask God for forgiveness.
This concept, which seemed ignorant and ridiculous to future generations, was taken for granted in that era.
But now, several disasters occur at the same time, so they have even more excuses.
Force the emperor to kill Mrs. Xiang is a breakthrough.
In political struggle, how can you sharpen your knife and go straight to the point?
The small detour comes from their habitual prudence, and at the same time, it also leaves itself with room for freedom of advancement and retreat.
And, room for bargaining.
At this time, the emperor was already forced by the increasingly aggressive ministers to have no way out.
In the harem, the little palace maid rushed in and said to Mrs. Xiang in a voice-changing color: "Empress, the big thing is wrong. The ministers force the palace to be forced to do so, and the king has no helper alone. They are too bullying."
Mrs. Xiang asked anxiously, "Where is Taishi Tan, isn't he here?"
The little palace maid said, "Tan Taishi is here, but he didn't say anything."
Mrs. Xiang's eyes dimmed for a moment, and suddenly lit up again: "Where is Chen Shaobao?"
The little palace maid shook her head and said, "Shaobao Chen has never come. Dr. Fei has been invited, but he has never come..." Mrs. Xiang's face turned pale and she forced a smile, "I... I'm also having trouble for this child. When he comes, wouldn't he beg you?"
Mrs. Xiang raised her spirits and said, "Doctor You, Doctor Fei and others dare not make any suggestions, right?"
The little palace maid curled her lips and said, "They are sly. The Grand Master Tan doesn't speak, and Chen Shaobao doesn't show up. How dare they stand up?"
Mrs. Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, you... go and see if there are any changes. Tell me in time if there are any changes."
The little palace maid agreed and ran out in a hurry.
Mrs. Xiang caressed her belly that was about to give birth and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The ministers and princes represent the people's opinions in the world. Even if the king can forcibly reject them, he will be extremely passive and lose the people's hearts from then on.
I am an ominous body! Mrs. Xiang couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her bumpy life.
Once upon a time, her husband became the object of punishment by the gods and was chased by the Fengchang masters, but she was just an ordinary woman. She was unable to interfere with this kind of scene of a fight between gods.
What about now?
Now she is so tired that Emperor Yong is attacked by all officials and the country is shaken.
But this time, she can help him! It’s just... the child who has suffered so much is about to give birth.
Mrs. Xiang could feel the close connection between a little life and her. In a few days, he would be born and see this new world.
But... Mrs. Xiang gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks, raised her head slightly, and looked at the carved palace beams in the air.
A white silk rose up like a white dragon, passing through the palace beam and falling from the other end.
Mrs. Xiang climbed onto the table and tied it up with a dead knot.
But before she could put her head in, an exclaim rang out from beside her: "Mom! What are you going to do?"
Mrs. Xiang felt her body lightening, and when she looked at her again, she was already carried off the table by Daji.
Daji looked frightened: "Mom, you... are you looking for a short-lived person?"
Mrs. Xiang shed tears and choked and said, "Daji, my mother is an ominous body. When I live, I will defeat my relatives.
The husband died tragically, and the child... could not be raised by himself, and could not be seen growing up.
Mom doesn’t want the old thing to happen again, Mo Ru died and was over."
Daji was frightened. Fortunately, his cousin suddenly sent a message saying that the palace changed in a shocking way, and asked her to rush to the palace to Zhaogu her mother immediately.
If I came a little later, I’m afraid my mother would have died?
Daji said angrily: "Mom, you are so stupid. Those bad people are enjoying the wealth of wealth and have never seen them do any good things.
If they bully them, we have to let them slaughter?
Don't be afraid, I'll kill them!"
Daji is really angry.
This girl is a super protector. She doesn't talk about what is right or wrong. She is a person who helps her relatives and doesn't care.
What's more, where did those literati and officials take the lead?
Daji shouted sternly: "Come here!"
The people from Gong'e Temple who were already driven outside by Mrs. Xiang to wait outside hurriedly ran in. When they saw the white silk hanging on the beam, they were so scared that they were about to fly.
Daji said, "You guys look at my mother very much. If she has any faults, you will all die!"
The people from the Gong'e Temple were so scared that they were out of their minds and quickly agreed.
In fact, if Daji didn't say it, they also understood that with the king's favor for Mrs. Xiang, if Mrs. Xiang committed suicide under their noses, they would not have a good ending.
After Daji finished giving orders, he pulled out his legs and left.
When he left Mrs. Xiang's palace and walked to the palace outside, Daji wiggled it on a ring and a huge steel lizard appeared.
Daji jumped, then jumped onto the lizard's back and sat down. He reached out and touched the hand and held a handful of talismans in his arms. He sneered, and then rushed towards the palace hall with a giant steel lizard.
Chen Xuanqiu finally waited for a piece of tofu.
Nan Zi had just finished sorting out the evidence of Ji Guo's crimes. She had not studied alchemy, so the pharmacist she asked for first taught her some basics of alchemy and asked her to practice, but she never thought that she could become a good helper when she practiced it.
In this era, beans were very scarce to eat, and they could only be steamed, cooked, ground into powder and then boiled into soy milk for consumption.
Nanzi was just learning alchemy. After teaching her, she was busy with her own work, but no one paid attention to her. Nanzi tried in a hurry and accidentally dropped a small piece of practice material gypsum placed beside the alchemy furnace into the soy milk juice. As a result, the jar of soy juice turned into a trembling mass.
She was worried that Chen Xuanqiu would laugh at her at first, but she didn't expect that she would develop a delicious dish by chance.
At this time, I was cheered up and focused on conditioning this thing, which was even more irritating than the tofu she had just made by accident.
Chen Xuanqiu didn't know much about making tofu, but he just had a rough understanding of the procedural fur. However, to tell Nan Zi, he was very inspiring to Nan Zi. The plate of tofu he finally made was of better quality.
Chen Xuanqiu was overjoyed and put it in a food box, and was about to offer treasures to Emperor Yong Yin Shou.
Nanzi was not idle either. When she was just tasting Mapo tofu, Chen Xuanqiu had already secretly given her some advice. As soon as Chen Xuanqiu left, Nanzi immediately skipped away and prepared according to Chen Xuanqiu's arrangement.
Fei Zhong finally waited for Chen Xuanqiu and immediately said, "The horses of the officials are waiting outside Fengchang Temple. Shaobao, let's go quickly."
Chen Xuanqiu said: "Don't worry, this tofu is so delicate, don't break it."
As soon as Chen Xuanqiu said this, he heard a delicate and crisp girl's voice saying: "The general magistrate wants to set up a ceremonial guard to court, so he naturally wants us to carry the chariot and walk.
What does it mean to be a group of half-baby boys?
Lord General, Si Yu and his sisters have said long ago that you are willing to work hard for you. Lord General, please assign this glorious opportunity to us.”
Fei Zhong was stunned and then found dozens of sword boys, carrying a long sword of apricot and yellow socks, standing in the yard with a heroic figure. He didn't know when Chen Xuanqiu informed them.
Among them was a chariot carried by four sword boys.
