Gao Xian considered himself an enlightened emperor. At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was equivalent to the beginning of the family. He had no savings at home, and he did not pay attention to those false rituals. However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, envoys from all directions could not prepare too well.

It has to be reasonable.

Therefore, even Lu Zhengming wished he could wake up and touch the beauty's hands for twelve hours every day, and the people who were drunk and lying on the beauty's knees were cheering up and taking the job.

It is not difficult to meet the requirements of Emperor Gao Xian. The emperor did not let them take care of the breakfast on the Mid-Autumn Festival, nor did he let them browse them at night. He would hold a state banquet at noon to entertain foreign envoys and 300 talented men. When the banquet was over, he would be finished.

, you can let everyone go home and enjoy the moon.

In fact, the state banquet for lunch does not require the Ministry of Rites to take care of themselves. It is just that according to the guests' rank and ethnic customs, we must report the menu to the imperial kitchen in advance, take care of it, and don't serve the wrong dishes, just cause conflicts.

It's right.

Logically speaking, such a simple thing should not have any problems at all, but the problem is a thorny little goblin. The less you want it to come, the more you want it to come.

Imperial Palace, Linde Hall.

Amidst a joyful and harmonious atmosphere, a foreign country envoy with special costumes stood up and said in a skilled official language of Daliang, "Your Majesty, I just heard the talents in your country chanting poems and talking to each other, and I really let me do this.

People outside the pass are envious. But I have something unknown and I want to ask all the talents."

This is obviously a rhythm of provoking trouble. Emperor Gao Xian smiled slightly, and wrote a note to the Qiyan tribe represented by this brother, but asked humbly and generously. "What's the matter?"

Has, the envoy of begging for beauty from the northern grassland, said to Lu, "I would like to ask all the talents, you Han people have a saying that if you have friends coming from afar, how should you entertain them?"

Many people in the court have already cursed in their stomachs. This person has been dealing with Han people since the previous dynasty and has a very profound Chinese background, but now I just ask a well-known word. Isn’t this obvious search for trouble?

A talented man in white stood up suddenly and said loudly, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? I think not only do we Daliang people say this, but also do this, but also the nobles and the nobles? The Lord asked this.

, Could it be that you are dissatisfied with our hospitality? If so, you might as well say bluntly that such a roundabout way is really a loser in the open-minded and generous manly style!”

Gao Xian nodded slightly, young man, courage is commendable. He directly transformed national affairs into personal demeanor and national cultivation, frank and generous. Not bad.

The eunuch Chengping stepped forward and said secretly, "This is the young master who speaks for the girl who has attempted violence. Ji Yue won the 17th place this time."

Gao Xian was even more satisfied, "I speak up for justice and do not lose my cleverness. I can ask him to go to the Ministry of Justice to learn to judge cases or learn to deal with envoys from various countries under the host and guest doctor of the Ministry of Rites."

"Yes." Chengping lowered his eyebrows and looked down, quickly took out the paper and wrote it down.

But Has was so sly about the old man of Lu, but he was not so easy to deal with. "The generous and generous, and the twists and turns are all because of the local customs. Since the young master asked me to speak out, I would be blunt."

After the fierce counterattack, he did not give Daliang the talented men a chance to talk back, so he raised a plate of roasted lamb specially prepared for him from front of him, "Since everyone in your country knows the principle of hospitality, why do you give it to me.

I remember that I had also come to this imperial city for a banquet in the previous dynasty. At that time, the same roasted mutton was served, but it was extremely delicious and melted in the mouth. Now I have changed to a new dynasty, but it is not bad.

This has become like this?"

He looked at Emperor Gao Xian who was lofty and sneered provocatively, "Does the Daliang Dynasty think that our Qiyan tribe is not enough to be your friends, so even a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet can be fooled by it!"

When these words were said, the talents were stunned.

Why is this foreign guy so cunning? He doesn't talk about big things with them, but discusses food? But although this matter is small, it is a big deal to be seriously considered. After all, the new and old dynasties are only five years away, so they bring it to you.

There is nothing you can do about it?

The emperor's face turned cold, and he swept his eyes to the side. The Minister of Rites immediately became sweating. He quickly asked someone to call the doctor of the Ministry of Food, namely Lu Zhengming, but when Lord Lu heard that this was the case, he turned around and took another person.

Captured.

"Mr. Ouyang, I have repeatedly told you a few days ago that I should do a good job in the entertainment of the foreign envoys. How did you do this?"

Ouyang Jin wants to curse her, I am not a chef, why are you pushing me?

"This roasted mutton is made by the imperial chef in the palace. How do I know what's wrong? Otherwise, please ask Eunuch Cai from Shangshi Bureau to ask, or you can find out."

Cai Xiang, the eunuch of Shangshi Bureau, was Lu Zhengming's godfather. When he heard that things were involved, Lord Lu's face turned half dark, but Ouyang Jin's words also make sense. The envoys of foreign countries were still standing in the hall.

Just scolding Ouyang Jin for being useless, but not being able to push him out to cook, you still have to find someone who can solve the problem. Isn’t that the only imperial kitchen?

So Lord Lu had to go to find his godfather with a sad face. Of course, he did not forget to pull Ouyang Jin. At the critical moment, he had to leave a cushion by his side.

Ouyang Jin scolded him half to death, but could not disobey him. He was also feeling distressed. What if this matter was not handled properly?

In the hall, facing Has Chaolu's questioning, another talented man stood up, "The envoy said something very well, saying that he followed the local customs. The saying is good, one day the emperor and one day the ministers. We ordinary people are also

It is often said that when you go to the mountain, which song to sing. Now that you have changed the new emperor, it is naturally very different from the previous dynasty. You are used to eating the taste of the previous dynasty, so it is nothing. Just find a chef to remake it for you. But if it is

If you don’t understand the way of adaptation, it’s not that we Daliang refuse to make friends with you, but that you begged Yan to care about the previous dynasty and deliberately want to be enemies with me Daliang. Is it true?”

These words, both soft and hard, were used without any leakage, and even blocked a traitor and a sloppy foreign envoy.

Emperor Gao Xian was secretly cheering in his heart, and when he saw this man personally brought a glass of wine to the envoy of the country, he smiled happily, "But I think the envoys are here today, it proves that the Qiyan tribe never wants to get into evil with me.

.It is just a little food and food matter, so why should the nobles worry? Come on, please drink this cup, the real man is broad-minded. If he really makes war between the two countries for a plate of roasted lamb, wouldn’t it be a joke for the whole world?”

Well said!

Gao Qian showed some admiration in his eyes. This person no longer used Chengping to introduce him. Seeing that he was wearing a big red robe, he stood out among the talented men in white. This is the number one in the exam in this dynasty - Wang Can.

Has Chaolu was speechless and had to take the wine glass and drink it all. At the end, he turned around and served a bowl full of his big bowl, "Then please ask the young master to drink this cup too!

”

Seeing the young man's weak and thought he could not bear the alcohol. Unexpectedly, Wang Can took the wine bowl, but he ran away without hesitation. Finally, he patted him on the shoulder without changing his expression and said, "Thank you!"

Has sat down embarrassedly, and a diplomatic provocation instantly turned into invisible.

Ouyang Zhuang sat far because of his low ranking, but he asked himself that even if he sat in the first row, he might not be able to deal with the red robe top scorer or the talented man from Ji Da.

It seems that the people admitted this time are still quite authentic, especially this top student, who is really eloquent and demeanor, but I don’t know whose family you come from, can you make friends with?

A talented man next to him was whispering, "This time his first name comes from the famous Wang family of Langya. The foundation of hundreds of years is indeed beyond our reach. If he hadn't had his wife and children, he would have been so afraid this time he would have been.

The emperor will be recruited as the prince consort."

"You are wrong. If you really become a prince consort, you can't work in the court. You can only be a idle doctor. Even if you are unmarried, he may not be willing."

"In this way, aren't people like you and me who have not yet married be careful? If you like any princess, your future will be ruined."

"No? Look at the same clothes as we wait for, why are there no decorations on all the turbans that have become kisses, but we have one more flower? To put it nicely, it is because we young people want to have a bunch of flowers and add flowers to the banquet.

Color, but look behind the curtain, isn’t the jewels that are faintly refracted by women?”

Ouyang Zhuang tightened his heart and subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab the flower next to the turban, but before it was touched, she let it go. If she was really unlucky and was attracted by someone, would she dare not marry her? He is now glad

My ranking is average, I sit back and it's not so swaggering.

But suddenly I thought of my elder brother. Although Ouyang Zhuang felt a little sorry for him, he was also glad that he did not come. If he came, it would definitely be a princess physique, and maybe even a fight for him. At that time, the whole family would

Don’t offer it like offerings to ancestors?

He laughed here, but he didn't know that his father was almost in a hurry behind him.

"Why is this my responsibility? I copied it one by one according to the prescription. What's wrong with the envoy who begs for the face to eat mutton?"

"Why is it not your fault?" Lu Zhengming and his godfather, Eunuch Cai, joined forces to bully people. "You are responsible for copying vegetables, why don't you ask about the taste of others? It's been a day or two since he came to the capital. If you are

If you use your heart well, how could you make such a joke?"

Ouyang Jin was simply unaware of his words and wanted to cry without tears.

In the face of interests, everyone fully utilizes their greatest wisdom to seek self-protection.

Cai Xiang of Shang Food Bureau insisted that the chef did not make a problem. The problem was that the Ministry of Rites did not explain clearly, and the guests liked something worse.

Lu Zhengming also helped push the blame to Ouyang Jin. He may have been a little worse than his other efforts, but his appearance was first-class. If there was a problem with the emperor's imperial kitchen, it would be equivalent to beating the emperor.

Face. No matter how enlightened Emperor Gao Xian is, he cannot afford to lose face. Therefore, it is only because Ouyang Jin, a man who runs errands, is not good at passing messages, that causes trouble.
