Chapter 4 Desserts from Changsun Wugou(1/2)
"Zhou Da, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, reported to be affected by the warehouse..."
"Li Guangbi, the commander of the Nancheng Military and Ma Si, reported that the swords and guns were rusted..."
Li Gan looked around casually for a few times and found that these documents were memorials from ministers.
He raised his head and frowned at Wei Zhongxian: "All these are what I want to review?"
"These are all, Your Majesty."
Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and returned: "The late emperor was used to reviewing memorials in Qianyuanqian Hall, and the servants moved here."
Did the late emperor also review the memorials?
Li Gan rolled his eyes and moved the memorial to Qianyuanqian Hall, just a layer of fig leaf!
If he really worked diligently to review the memorials, how could the emperor's power be separated by those ministers?
However, compared to the late emperor, Li Gan is different.
He rubbed the yellow silk cover of the memorial, and a trace of fantasy appeared in his heart.
Or...try it?
What if I have the talent to be an emperor, can boost the court and become a wise ruler...
At least, there is no need to crawl like now, and the crawls are covered with lice.
When he thought of it, Li Gan picked up the paper and pen and opened a memorial.
Zhou Da, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, reported that the warehouse was damaged...
After reading it carefully, Li Gan's eyes lit up!
The first one will be!
Guanglu Temple is the department responsible for the food in the palace and the food at various sacrificial banquets.
If the warehouse is damaged, then repair it!
After reading it roughly, Li Gan wrote his own reply in a red pen.
"Order the Ministry of Works to repair it."
Then, he opened the next memorial.
Ouyang Bijin, the counselor, reported that he had dereliction of duty for Jingzhao Prefecture...
This is a memorial to impeach Jingzhao Mansion, saying that there was a thief case in Beijing some time ago, and Jingzhao Mansion randomly judged the case and wronged the good man.
Li Gan knew nothing about the case and could not tell anything from the few words in the memorial.
He read intently for a long time, frowned and hung his pen, and a few red ink dripped on the plain bamboo paper of the memorial, and it was difficult to write for a long time.
"Oh~ Forget it, let's read the next one first..."
"I don't know much about this letter...why would it be the next one?"
What Li Gan didn't expect was that the next letter would be over and there would be no end to the next letter until the afternoon passed.
The orange-red sunset projected from the door, and Li Gan, who was dizzy, came to his senses and looked at the "fight results" he had worked hard for the afternoon.
A memorial.
He has begun to doubt his life.
‘No, I can’t understand it…or… I don’t care? Anyway, those ministers may not implement it… Anyway, even if I don’t review the memorials, the officials below will deal with it themselves.’
Li Gan's eyes were lost and he looked at the burning clouds outside the window.
He was a little unacceptable for a moment. He was a "noble future generation" and could not understand the memorial. He originally thought that the "advanced knowledge" in his mind was useless at this time.
The slanting light shone on the red and gold plate dragon pillar, shining on Li Gan's face, and a touch of orange and redness reflected in his eyes.
‘I don’t know if the girls’ accommodation is arranged…’
Wei Zhongxian stood by the side. Seeing that the light in the hall was getting dimming, he wanted to come up to light a lamp for Li Gan.
"No need, I have always been thrifty!"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment. When His Majesty was the crown prince, he was a playboy.
Is this a change in character after becoming emperor?
He was filled with joy and immediately flattered him.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Li Gan stood up, crossed the table, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly.
His figure was bathed in the sunset and looked extremely tall.
"The memorial...but the small douer, ordinary civil servants can also handle it. I should do something more important to the big deal."
Wei Zhongxian smiled flatteringly and consciously played the role of a loyal eunuch and acted as a supporting actor:
"Your Majesty, then why is it considered a great way? It is more important to do big things?"
Li Gan looked at the sunset and said without looking back: "The country cannot be without foundation for a day."
Why is the foundation of the country? It is the heir to the throne.
Wei Zhongxian immediately understood and advised: "Your Majesty, it's too late, and there are beautiful girls entering the palace today. Have you turned the sign?"
Li Gan turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian, but he didn't expect that this guy was quite good at it.
"Ahem~"
He cleared his throat: "Since that's the case... then turn it over."
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Wei Zhongxian hurried away and ran back in a short while.
Behind him was a row of small eunuchs, holding wooden plates, and the wooden plates were marked with the signs of today's fifty beautiful ladies.
The red sunset slanted towards the wooden sign, reflecting shadows.
Li Gan walked forward slowly, looking at the wooden signs, and suddenly felt a sense of stimulation like opening a blind box in his heart.
Each wooden sign represents a concubine.
"The first night...who is it...'
‘I don’t like being too passive… Yang Yuhuan seems to be good… Xi Shi seems to be okay… Don’t be a ruthless person…’
He clenched the dragon robe on his body and wiped away the sweat from his palms.
‘That’s it!’
Li Gan directly opened the closest sign to him!
"Talented man, Wu Meiniang."
Li Gan:???
"this……"
I don't want to be down there!
But then I thought, Wu Meiniang just entered the palace and was not the empress with the sun and moon in the sky. She should not be that strong yet, right?
After figuring this out, Li Gan breathed a sigh of relief, with only three words left in his heart:
I can!
Li Gan looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Big partner, which hall is Wu Cairen arranged? Let's get on!"
This time, Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment and carefully suggested: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to the dragon body. After all, you have not eaten dinner yet, so it is better to eat first..."
Hearing this, Li Gan's face turned red.
I went to bed without eating, which was indeed a bit anxious.
"What do you think?"
Li Gan glared at him: "I'm hungry, and what I just said was to go for a meal!"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed and said, "I have understood the wrong one, and I will die..."
"Okay!"
Li Gan waved his hand: "No need to go to the kitchen anymore, just send it here!"
"Abide by the order."
The sun sets and the night becomes darker.
Following Wei Zhongxian's order, the little eunuchs lined up to enter the Qianyuan Palace, lit candles, and brought the emperor's food up.
The two dragons spitting pearls with gold patterns, the clean white jade soup bowl, and the gold jade chopsticks... It contains not the delicacies that Li Gan imagined, but a very simple meal.
Milk rice, soup cakes, roasted fish, bamboo shoots, stewed meat soup...
There are two staple foods, five dishes and one soup, and one person can’t finish it.
To be continued...
