Liu Chan secretly complained, and then said with a smile: "I saw this from an unknown ancient book..."
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu looked at each other in confusion for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly felt that their question itself was unnecessary.
Over the years, Liu Chan has often come up with some weird things and said some words that can change the times, but whenever he is asked about the source,
His answer is always - read it from unknown ancient books.
Who is Zhuge Liang?
Who is Xu Shu?
Both of them are great sages of this era. Although there are many ancient books in the world, they believe that they have read as many classics as Liu Chan.
What's more, Mr. Zhuge Wolong, who is famous in China, never likes to quote scriptures.
In his opinion,
That's totally the march of nerds.
However, the summary of ancient books mentioned by Liu Chan is also good.
Regardless of experience, it is unprecedented in this era.
Vaccination with cowpox will immunize you against smallpox.
Sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal can be used to prepare terrifying explosives.
Nowadays, there are all kinds of rare vegetables that you have never heard of.
This——
Are they really all from so-called unknown ancient books?
Liu Chan also saw the doubts between the two of them, but he didn't care about it. Anyway, there are so many ancient classics in the world. Whether it's you, Zhuge Wolong, or a great sage like Xu Shu, are you sure you have read all the classics and ancient books in the world? "Father, Xu Aiqing!" Liu Chan changed the subject, took two pairs of chopsticks from the side, handed them to the two of them and said with a smile: "Come and try the vinegar-stuffed potato shreds I made, and see how it tastes?"
Facing the temptation of delicious food,
Both Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu soon interpreted Liu Chan's previous words.
Throw it out of the sky.
After all——
Both of them are real foodies.
First, Xu Shu picked up some shredded potatoes and sniffed them. His sense of smell was immediately opened by the sour smell of vinegar, which seemed to stimulate his appetite. He quickly put the shredded potatoes into his mouth and chewed them.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Shu nodded and praised as he chewed the shredded potatoes: "This is truly a delicacy in the world. The shredded potatoes are crispy and filled with a faint aroma of vinegar." As he spoke, he couldn't help but pick up another large potato with chopsticks.
Feeding the silk into my mouth is so satisfying.
“Delicious!”
“Delicious!”
"Kong Ming!" Xu Shu urged Zhuge Liang while eating: "This is the first time I have tasted this thing in my life. Try it quickly. I guarantee you will fall in love with it immediately."
Zhuge Liang had wanted to try it for a long time, but Xu Shu got the first step. Then he was attracted by his exaggerated expression and forgot to taste it himself.
"Okay!" Zhuge Liang finally reacted and picked up some shredded potatoes and sniffed them.
The expression is almost the same as that of Xu Shu,
Then quickly feed it into your mouth,
While eating, I kept praising it. In short, I just said, this vinegary shredded potato is the most delicious thing in the world.
As a cook, it is always a happy thing for the food you make to be praised by diners. Although the shredded potatoes taste pretty good, Liu Chan, who has been eating them for twenty or thirty years in his previous life, can only sigh secretly; "You two
, you really were born in the wrong era.'
Isn’t it just a plate of shredded potatoes? Is it as exaggerated as you said?
Seeing Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang completely disregarding their personal image and devouring the vinegar-coated potato shreds cooked by the emperor, the ministers, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards who were watching could not help but swallow their saliva.<
/p>
There was a constant sound of swallowing saliva. Zhuge Liang ate a few mouthfuls of shredded potatoes and then hurriedly greeted: "Everyone, come and have a taste. The shredded potatoes cooked by your majesty are extremely delicious."
Liu Chan ignored them, continued to wave the spatula, and poured another pot of shredded potatoes into the pot to stir-fry. There was no way, if the pot of shredded potatoes just was eaten the way Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and the others ate it, it wouldn't take long before it was all dry.
Er Jing.
As the saying goes, in life, the only thing you can't live up to is beauty and delicious food, especially the latter.
If on a normal day, Liu Chan would cook in person, and Zhuge Liang would not be allowed to preach. Your Majesty is the emperor, how can he do these things himself?
But at this moment, he was completely captured by the potato silk. He no longer had any scruples about Liu Chan. The ministers who were summoned were all in their forties and fifties. They were just like a bunch of children.
They started fighting over a chopstick of shredded potatoes.
In a short time, a pot of shredded potatoes was cleaned up by more than a dozen Han civil and military ministers. In the end, Guan Suo picked up the pot and swept the last remaining bits of soup into his mouth. p>
This makes the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards outside look greedy.
Looking at them swallowing their saliva, Liu Chan said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are still more potato shreds, you can all eat them in a while."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone thanked them in unison, and several ministers on this side locked their eyes on Liu Chan's pot, because this pot of potato shreds was about to cook again, but Liu Chan rolled his eyes and said: "Everyone, this potato shreds
Although it’s delicious, we can’t be greedy.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the two large iron pots not far away and said with a smile: "There is more delicious food there, so save some space to eat it later."
Smelling Liu Chan's words, everyone quickly turned their attention to the two large iron pots. At this time, green smoke was rising from the pots. With a gentle sniff, they could smell the aroma of stewed meat, but the taste seemed to be different from theirs.
The familiar stew tastes very different.
Seeing the ministers like this, Liu Chan secretly wanted to laugh, thinking to himself, you are all ministers of the imperial court, can we worry about our personal image?
However, this is actually understandable. After all, this is the first time that potatoes have appeared in people's eyes, and they have tasted potato shreds in person. Their taste buds have already been opened, so they have nothing to worry about.
Liu Chan didn't care about them. After frying the pot of shredded potatoes, he asked the imperial chefs to fry the remaining shredded potatoes according to his method, while he instructed them on the side. He couldn't do all these cooking skills by himself.
To do it, you have to teach them.
Half an hour later.
After Liu Chan personally tasted it and determined that the potato stew was cooked, amidst everyone's expectations, Liu Chan announced what they all wanted to hear.
"Let's eat!"
The emperor, empress, prince, princess, and court ministers usually give a lot of explanations about food, but today I gave them a special experience.
Picnic——
Yes, they are having a picnic.
Because they were busy with sowing today, Liu Chan did not ask them to go to nearby villages or return to Chang'an. Instead, he set up an open-air kitchen on an open space on the edge of the royal farm and started cooking here.
There is no village or shop in the area, so naturally you have to sit on the floor to eat. Whether it is the court ministers or members of the royal family such as Liu Chan and Zhang Yang, they all sit around on the spot, and then the food is brought to them by the palace maids and eunuchs. p>
The two little princes and the little princess had also tasted shredded potatoes before, and when they saw a bowl of potato stewed with pork, the aroma attracted them.
Liu Rongyue, the eldest princess of Hanyang, as soon as the maid placed the meal in front of her, she grabbed a piece of spareribs and chewed them happily. While chewing, she said with satisfaction: "It's so delicious, Father, we will eat it every day in the future."
Is it okay to eat this for all your meals?"
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed: "As long as Xiao Jindou likes it!"
Then naturally came her two younger brothers, Prince Liu Chen and King Qin Liu Tan. Seeing their sister being so exaggerated, they naturally couldn't resist the temptation of this delicacy, and soon started devouring it like little golden beans.
Compliment the food on how delicious it is from time to time.
The only one who seemed more reserved was Queen Zhang Yang. She chewed slowly and tasted the rare delicacies beautifully.
Two large pots of potato stew and three large pots of shredded potatoes were eaten by more than a dozen ministers, Liu Chan's family of five, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in a short time, without even a morsel of soup left.<
/p>
After eating and drinking, Liu Chan was very satisfied as he looked at a group of smiling ministers.
In the previous year, the courtiers of Han Dynasty had to work very hard because of smallpox, and there are still many things that Han Dynasty needs to solve in the future.
Today——
Just think of it as letting them relax.
This is actually Liu Chan's purpose of bringing them out. First, it is to relieve everyone's stress and exhaustion in the past year, and it is also a good opportunity to draw closer to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
In the evening.
Weiyang Palace.
Yuanyang Hall.
After a day of hard work, although Liu Chan was in a good mood, he was also very tired. As soon as he returned to the palace, he collapsed on the bed.
Zhang Yang gently rubbed Liu Chan's shoulders and asked affectionately: "Your Majesty, did you really read what you said today from ancient books?"
Zhang Yang asked suddenly, and Liu Chan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Why did Yang'er ask like that?" Gu Chao
"Well..." Zhang Yang paused and said, "Yang'er is just curious. Your Majesty always says that he saw it in ancient books, but he doesn't remember which ancient book it is..."
This——
Liu Chan was at a loss for words. In fact, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang and the others were also curious about this matter today, but they were tempted by the delicious food and did not continue to ask.
Zhang Yang is his wife, and they are the only ones in the palace now.
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan laughed loudly at first, and then asked Zhang Yang pretending to be confused: "Then, what does Yang'er think it should be?"
"Yang'er, you don't trust me?"
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Yang'er naturally believes in your majesty, but why does your majesty only remember the contents of these ancient books but not the names of them?"
Zhang Yang's curiosity has actually been there for a long time, but he suddenly wanted to know more today. When she asked her, Liu Chan paused and quickly started thinking about how to answer her question.
Because he knew very well that if Zhang Yang could be so curious, other ministers, including Zhuge Liang, would naturally also be curious.
The world is not unified yet, so we cannot let them focus on me.
"Yang'er!" Liu Chan suddenly became serious. He sat up and looked outside the palace. After making sure that there was no one outside the door, he pretended to be surprised, stared at Zhang Yang and said, "I have met someone before.
It’s a magical thing, and Yang’er has to keep it a secret for me.”
"Yeah!" Zhang Yang was a little nervous when Liu Chan said this.
"I died once."
"What?" Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly widened and he was dumbfounded.
It is a truth recognized by people throughout the ages that people cannot be resurrected after death, but according to what Liu Chan said, that means people can be resurrected after death?
"Don't be nervous, kid!"
Liu Chan said very calmly, but his voice was very low: "I am still me, not some monster."
Seeing that Zhang Yang was a little nervous, Liu Chan deliberately made a joke.
"Yang'er knows!" Zhang Yuan nodded.
Then Zhang Yang looked at Liu Chan with curiosity, wanting to hear him continue to tell the story he wanted to tell, mainly because of Liu Chan's words, "I died once."
What on earth is going on?
"That was...the third year of Zhang Wu..." Liu Chan held Zhang Yuan in his arms and slowly told the story he made up.
"At that time, I was still the prince. When I learned that my father was seriously ill, I went to Yong'an Palace with my prime minister to visit him. However, seeing that my father was dying, I was so sad that I fainted immediately."
Zhang Yang knew this story. In fact, many people in the current Han Dynasty knew about it.
This incident later made the people say that the emperor was benevolent and filial. Seeing that the late emperor was seriously ill, he was so sad that he fainted.
However, Liu Chan's next words stunned Zhang Yang.
"After I fainted and died, I came to a strange world." As soon as Liu Chan opened his mouth, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask: "What kind of world?"
"The future!" Liu Chan affirmed.
"I went two thousand years later."
Liu Chan knew that because he kept toying with some novel things and said some strange words, it had already made Zhang Yang and the courtiers confused. If he continued to use ancient books and classics to prevaricate, it seemed difficult to continue to cover up.
It's better to tell them the truth.
Of course, this truth needs to be processed a little.
"Two thousand years later?" Zhang Yang was even more surprised: "What kind of world is that?"
"Well," Liu Chan nodded and said, "After two thousand years of human development, the future world will be technologically advanced. People will live in tall buildings, the streets will be full of cars, and there will be airplanes in the sky."
"Car? Plane?" Zhang Yang was stunned: "What is this?"
"This!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "It's the common carriage we have now. It's just that people's carriages in the future can run by themselves without a horse, and there are also carriages that can fly in the sky."
"Wow!" Zhang Yang said in surprise: "Isn't that like a god?"
"Hahaha!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "What gods and monsters are there in this world? That is people's wisdom."
"Oh!" Zhang Yang nodded and asked curiously: "What then?"
"Then..." Liu Chan paused and said, "Then, I read some historical materials, which record the history of our era."
"Historical data?" Zhang Yang was curious again: "How is it recorded in the historical data?"
In the past, when Zhang Yang heard this, she would have definitely thought that Liu Chan had lost his mind and was talking nonsense here, but now she really believes it, mainly because Liu Chan has made too many advanced things and said many strange things.
If.
Since Liu Chan went to the future and saw historical records about their current era, she was naturally very curious.
"Historical data records that Yang'er is also my queen, the second queen."
When Liu Chan just said this, Zhang Yang's face became a little solemn and said: "Sister?"
"Yes!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "According to historical records, Yang'er died of illness in the fifteenth year of Jianxing. The cause of the disease is unknown."
"The fifteenth year of Jianxing?" Zhang Yang was a little curious: "My sister left last year. Last year was the seventeenth year of Jianxing?"
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "Because I knew that Yuan'er would leave early, so over the years, I asked her to exercise more..." At this point, Liu Chan sighed, and Zhang Yuan seemed to understand a little more.
What.
Because of this, she had an impression. Whether she was in Chengdu or later in Chang'an, her sister had a very regular schedule. She went to bed early and got up early every day, especially when she got up in the morning, she would do some simple physical exercises.
She had asked her sister before, and Zhang Yuan said that His Majesty asked her to do this, saying that it would make people healthy. Later, Zhang Yuan also developed the same habit.
"But," Liu Chan sighed, "there is no record in historical materials that the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an, and I didn't know that the traitor would introduce smallpox into the harem."
"The Han Dynasty never moved its capital to Chang'an?" Zhang Yang said in surprise.
"Well!" Liu Chan said with certainty: "According to historical records, in more than ten years, our Han Dynasty will perish. I..." Liu Chan said, pointed to the tip of Zhang Yang's nose, and sighed: "And
You, my dear, will become a prisoner of Cao Wei."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Yang was furious when he heard this: "How can I, a powerful Han, be destroyed by the traitor Cao Wei?"
"That is recorded in historical records!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Now, Cao Wei naturally cannot destroy our Han Dynasty. In the future, I will take the Han Dynasty's cavalry to level the Central Plains."
"Yes!" Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively. Although she didn't know how this period of history was recorded in the historical materials, as the queen of the Han Dynasty, she naturally hoped that the Han Dynasty would become stronger and stronger.
Having said this, Zhang Yang paused for a moment, and then suddenly asked: "So, what your Majesty did was learned from the future?"
"Otherwise?" Liu Chan rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you really think I saw it in some ancient book?"
...
"Is this true?"
In the Xuanshi Palace, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was also dumbfounded. In fact, he had always been a little curious, but everything the emperor did was beneficial to the Han Dynasty, so he never got to the bottom of it.
Early this morning, Liu Chan suddenly summoned him into the palace and told him a strange story.
Seeing the surprise on Zhuge Liang's face, Liu Chan was not surprised, because last night, when he told the story to Queen Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang's reaction was exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's.
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "The historical data I saw recorded this. My father-in-law dedicated his whole life, but in the end he was unable to turn the tide."
"Wait..." Zhuge Liang suddenly interrupted Liu Chan and asked: "Your Majesty, are you saying that our army was defeated because of Ma Di's loss of the street pavilion in the first Northern Expedition?"
"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded and said: "Originally, the prime minister suddenly sent troops out of Qishan, and Cao Wei was not prepared enough, which caused the Longyou counties to surrender. However, Cao Wei responded in time and sent Cao Zhen and Zhang He to stop the prime minister. At this time, the prime minister needed
Buy enough time to block Cao Wei's reinforcements."
"It's just that the defeat of Jieting made Xiangfu..."
Zhuge Liang was stunned. At first, he might have thought that Liu Chan had made up a story to deceive him, but at this moment, he really believed it. He believed that the emperor had really been to the future, and he had also seen future generations comment on this story.
