Fa Zheng and Meng Da chatted for more than half an hour before going to have a meal together.
There are already people in the restaurant, many of which were known to Fa Zheng, and they greeted Fa Zheng and asked about the situation in Shandong. Some people said half-jokingly that Zheng had made great contributions and should treat him.
Fa Zheng responded, but did not show his actions.
When he was a sanqi in the court, he was not very popular. The people he really got close to were Meng Da and Zhuge Liang. The gifts he had already given to Meng Da, and those who were given to Zhuge Liang had to find opportunities. As for these old colleagues, they were old colleagues.
, he didn't care at all.
The two went to choose the meals and glanced at the dishes filled with large basins. Fa Zheng's eyes lit up.
Not only does it contain the delicious foods of the Middle Flavor, but also a few of his favorite snacks when Kaiyang was founded.
Without thinking, he immediately pointed some.
Meng Da saw it clearly and asked curiously. When he learned that those were Kaiyang's snacks, he immediately said, "I'm afraid Mrs. Bian prepared this for you specifically."
Fa Zheng also guessed it, but he didn't say it out loud. "These Guanzhong flavors are the same?"
"This is not because there are many Guanzhong people around the emperor. Mrs. Bian is very clear about our taste and often makes some Guanzhong-style food to comfort her homesickness. This Langya food is also made, but that is
When I was in the palace, I did less preparations for the queen after leaving the palace.”
Fazheng's heart moved.
Shangshi belonged to the Shaofu Taiguan Order Zuo Cheng, who originally served the palace. The emperor reduced the palace ban, and then included the Sanqi, Langguan, and Shangshu in the service scope.
Since Mrs. Bian was a savvy person, she naturally got very close to Queen Fu.
This is something that cannot be offended.
In order to avoid external power and avoid the unity of foreign ministers and relatives, it is no secret that the emperor will maintain the Queen's slump.
Fa Zheng took the food, found a seat with Meng Da, and sat down, and chatted while eating.
The emperor is simple, and many habits are similar to those when he was traveling to the northwest. No one follows the rules of not talking about food. It is a habit to discuss matters when eating. When Fa Zheng first arrived in Xuzhou, he was criticized for this.
Now that he returns to his colleagues, he feels very close.
After a while, a female rider came over and walked straight to the food pickup.
Mrs. Bian came out from inside, and after a few conversations, she personally carried two food boxes and followed the female riding out.
Meng Da glanced at it and reminded: "Xiaozhi, eat quickly, the emperor may pass on you."
Fa Zheng was surprised. He had already seen some people in the Langguan who stopped talking and speeded up the meal.
“Why?”
"It must be something that the emperor is not here to eat, but someone is sending it there. Two food boxes, at least four people, means that the emperor is receiving important people and discussing important things."
Meng Da said as he poured the last two porridge from the bowl into his mouth, then scraped the dough cake in his hand on the dish, and even ate the last little soup.
Fa Zheng did not dare to neglect, and also accelerated the speed.
——
In the imperial tent, Liu Xie was having a meal while listening to Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan reported on the mission.
A Shangshu was writing hard, recording the reports of Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan.
The food box was placed aside, with a hint of heat and the fragrance of rice, but he didn't care to take a look.
"The strength of the Wild Wolf tribe is greatly declining, and it is not enough to cause trouble, but the barbarians in the deep grassland cannot be underestimated. Compared with the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, they are more resistant to bitterness and cold and more barbaric. In time, they will go south to annex the Xianbei and the remnants of the Xiongnu tribes, and they will definitely be the first to do so.
Become a new border trouble.”
Zhou Yu took a breath and came to a very sure conclusion.
Liu Xie nodded and signaled Zhou Yu to have dinner first.
Zhou Yu was not polite either. He picked up the food and swallowed it voraciously. He finished it in a few seconds. He wiped his mouth and looked at Liu Xie with a burning look. He stretched his neck and swallowed the food in his mouth directly.
Liu Xie couldn't help laughing, and reached out to signal, "Drink some soup, don't choke."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Yu then remembered the soup beside him, picked it up and took a big gulp, and swallowed it with a gulp. "I am used to eating in northern Xinjiang quickly, and there is no soup, which is troublesome. I may be attacked at any time during the march. I will eat at any time.
The shorter the time, the better.”
"You're used to it very quickly." Liu Xie said.
"In the face of life and death, you have to get used to it." Zhou Yu said with emotion: "It's not that you don't want to be elegant, but there is really no such condition. If I had not been to this place, I would not have experienced the pain of guarding the border in the northern border, and I would have known that the soldiers were rude.
There is nothing we can do about it, it is not nature.”
Liu Xie nodded gently.
This time, Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan went to the northern border for missions, and gained a lot. Not only did he understand the latest situation in the northern border, but he also allowed Zhou Yu, who was born in a noble family, to experience the difficulty of guarding the border, and to a certain extent, he understood Youbian to a certain extent
The efforts of the soldiers of Liang Sanzhou.
Without the hard work of soldiers guarding the border, how could the calmness of the Central Plains gentry?
Peace cannot be bought by money. The 190 million gift to the Southern Xiongnu every year does not guarantee their safety. What can really guarantee their safety are the border soldiers they look down on.
This is the benefit of young people. Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan are both twenty-five and six years old. They can change their prejudices by taking a trip to the frontier and understand the difficulties of the border soldiers. If they are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, let them go with them.
It is impossible for the soldiers of the border to eat in the same pot, let alone empathize with it.
"Whether the barbarians on the grassland will become border troubles, the key lies in whose hands the grassland is in. If we don't occupy, they will occupy it and will gradually grow until it becomes border troubles. If we occupy it, we can
They will be eliminated before they grow stronger and will not give them the opportunity to become border troubles.”
Liu Xie said lightly: "This is the meaning of Youyan Protectorate and Yanran Protectorate, and it is also the meaning of the wolf cavalry going out of the frontier every year."
"Your Majesty said very much." Jiang Gan said: "The grassland must be controlled in the hands of our great man, so that we can maintain peace in the Central Plains. If it falls into the hands of the barbarians, no matter how much silk in the Central Plains is produced, most of the profits will fall into the barbarians.
The hands are no different from those who are in the capital. The gains and losses in the study are definitely not something you can know.”
"You are very honest." Liu Xie looked at Jiang Gan, very satisfied.
This character who is like a clown in the Romance is really a diplomatic talent. This time he went to Xianbei, Zhou Yu increased his knowledge and grasped the general direction, but the details were all controlled by Jiang Gan. The Wild Wolf Tribe was convinced, and Jiang Gan made great contributions.
"I have a task I want to hand over to you, but it's very hard. I don't know if you are willing to accept it."
Jiang Gan bowed and said, "Please give me instructions."
"There is a little trouble in the Western Regions. I hope you can go there and see what it is."
Jiang Gan pondered for a moment, then said, "Please rest your majesty for ten days, return home to ask the province, settle down your parents, and then you can set off."
"Is ten days enough? Just one month, there is no such hurry in the Western Regions."
"No need." Jiang Gan said: "I have a fast horse. I can go to Jiujiang in two or three days and handle family affairs in five days."
Liu Xie nodded and agreed, asking Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu to wash, change clothes first, and then attend the enlarged meeting.
Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu bowed to accept the order.
They rushed back from northern Xinjiang, and were covered in dust. The clothes on their bodies were almost stinky and their hair was tied. If they had not known each other, no one would have believed that one was Zhou Lang, who was famous in Jiangdong, and the other was a famous scholar who was famous in Jianghuai.
