"I am a high-ranking and pragmatic minister. I have met the emperor."
Today is not a grand ceremony, but a court meeting. Gao Pragmatic just stepped forward and bowed.
Zhu Yijun smiled happily, stepped forward to give him a hand, and said, "You are the birthday boy today, so don't be too polite."
Under normal circumstances, this kind of "support" should be a virtual support, but Zhu Yijun really used his strength in this support. He almost lifted Gao Jingshi with his arms and body. Gao Jingshi did not dare to let him use any force, so he had to
Stand up smoothly.
Before he could speak, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I have long heard that your white jade building is beautifully built and has an exotic feel. I have long wanted to see it, and today it just happens to be... pragmatic, don't mind disturbing me as a bad guest.
?”
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "The emperor is joking, the emperor's royal chariot is here in person, and the humble house is full of glory. This is a good thing that can't be expected. How can you be a bad guest?"
At this time, other officials and nobles had already left the table. They walked to both sides of the central aisle and saluted one after another, saying, "I am here to see the emperor." Especially some lower-ranking officials were even more excited. After all, they usually don't have many opportunities to get close to each other.
See the emperor from a distance.
Zhu Yijun glanced at it and waved his hand casually: "Your Majesty, no courtesy."
When the emperor came in person, the banquet was about to change, because Ming emperors rarely dined with their ministers, so Gao pragmatically asked the emperor to come forward, while winking to Gao Mo and Cao Gan, asking them to quickly arrange a private meeting
At the table.
Of course, the servants of the Gao Mansion were extremely efficient in this regard. Gao Pragmatic and Zhu Yijun walked forward slowly, laughing and chatting for a few words as they walked, and the tables were quickly set up at the end of the Western-style banquet hall.
Zhu Yijun walked up to the front and took a look, shook his head and said: "Why is there only one chair? Put another one." Then he turned to Gao Pragmatic and said: "I came today just to enjoy your happiness. You can't run away.
Leave me alone here."
Gao Pangshi was about to use his ancestral excuse to refuse, but Zhu Yijun suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you."
At this moment, Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on his lips. He responded loudly with a smile, and then lowered his voice and asked, "I will be speaking in two days. Is there something urgent for the Emperor?"
Since the reward has not yet come out, and the highly pragmatic imperial mission has been handed over, he has now returned to his duties, one of which is to give lectures on officials at banquets.
According to the current "scheduling", he has "four lectures" to teach the emperor a month, and this is what "progressive lectures" refer to.
Although the official of Jingyanri is the so-called close minister of the emperor, after all, this "nearness" is not as high and pragmatic as the position of "watching the government" in those days. He is not with the emperor every day, and can only see him on the days when he is in lecture.
In other words, if the emperor wanted to tell Gao Jingshi personally about something, he had to wait until Gao Jingshi came to talk to him before he had the chance. Otherwise, he could only contact Gao Jingshi through the eunuchs around him.
At this time, the servants of the Gao family had already set up another chair according to Zhu Yijun's instructions. Zhu Yijun simply said "hmm", then stepped forward to sit down first, and then greeted Gao pragmatically with a smile: "Come on, come on."
, Lord Birthday, please take a seat."
Most of the people nearby were nobles, and in addition there were high-ranking officials like Wu Dui. When they heard the emperor's tone, they couldn't help but feel envious in their hearts.
The friendship between classmates in these ten years is truly as strong as love, and there is no second person in the world.
Gao pragmatic confessed his sins to all the distinguished officials and sat down next to the emperor. However, he did not immediately ask the emperor's purpose of coming. Instead, he said: "Your Majesty, although the palace food is good, I understand it."
, the most important thing in his cooking is "no fault". Although "no fault" is in line with the golden mean, it lacks some novelty... This is different here. The food at home is usually a bit light, but if you are entertaining guests, you will often choose
Famous delicacies from various places and novelties from overseas, since the Emperor is here today, don’t miss them.”
Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't pay much attention to eating, but after hearing what Gao Pragmatic said, he couldn't help but become a little more interested and asked: "Oh? I'd like to see it. Tell me, what's new here?"
thing?"
Gao Pingshi said: "My favorite food is seafood. For example, this dish is called Xi Shi Tongue."
Zhu Yijun took a look at the dish that Gao Pingshi was pointing at and asked, "Looks a bit like scallops?"
"This thing is called sand clam, and it is said that it was a famous delicacy in the Tang Dynasty. However, I have never seen it before in the palace for so many years. No wonder the emperor admits his mistake." Gao pragmatically has a close relationship with Zhu Yijun, but he is not afraid to directly say that the emperor made a mistake.
.
Zhu Yijun was not surprised, but asked in surprise: "Why is it called Xi Shi Tongue?"
Gao Pingshi said: "I have not researched it in detail, but Lu Juren once wrote a poem about this thing: Every fish in the sea does not know its name, and hundreds of thousands of lives are a piece of the pie. It is unreasonable to change the name of Xishi Tongue, and it has a delinquent relationship with a child."
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "This person thinks too much."
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but smile and said: "This thing was sent by my family Ding Gaoqi from Fujian. He also told me a legend. Maybe the emperor will be interested in it."
"Let me guess...is it related to Xi Shi?"
Gao Pingshi smiled and said: "Of course. It is said that Xi Shi and Fan Li got separated on the way to escape. She knew that she was lonely and prone to misfortune, so she deliberately bit off her tongue and spit it out in the river. The tongue happened to fall on a Zheng Zhang
Among the open-shelled river clams, the beautiful tongue with fairy fetus is of course unusual. It actually survived in the clam's body. It entered the sea from the river and became today's beautiful tongue."
Zhu Yijun laughed and said: "The Huansha people still have their tongues. Although the story itself is a bit sad, future generations can enjoy the delicious food and reputation, which is worthy of Xi Shi."
After chatting for a while, Zhu Yijun ate some Gaofu dishes, praised them full of praise, and said with emotion: "I originally thought that the imperial cuisine should be the most delicious dishes in the world, but now it seems that is not the case. These things in your house,
I guess the imperial dining room cannot be built."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, what you said is an injustice to the imperial dining room."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh?" Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "How did they feel wronged?"
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "You are just used to it, or even tired of it, and you find it delicious after changing the taste. Just like Bichen, who has been eating at home for a long time, and occasionally goes to other people's houses to have a drink
, I always feel that the dishes at other people’s homes have a different flavor and are far incomparable to those at home. But in fact, if someone who has never eaten from both families were to review it, he might think that the dishes at Chen’s home are more delicious.
.”
Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "So this is the truth, I understand. No wonder every time I go to Tianshou Mountain, I always feel that the cooks in the imperial mausoleum are better than those in the imperial kitchen. Now it seems that it is not necessarily a problem of craftsmanship, but a problem of craftsmanship."
I changed my taste."
But the topic ended here. The banquet had been going on for a while. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the people around them no longer stared at the two of them as they did at the beginning. Zhu Yijun changed the topic.
Said: "Yao's wife is getting married soon."
Gao Pragmatic was stunned and asked subconsciously: "So fast?"
Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly and said: "My mother later found out about the 'accidental encounter' between you and Yao Lao last time. Fortunately, there was no accident that time. Yao Lao also acted very calmly afterwards, so my mother didn't care about it, but..."
He sighed: "The Queen Mother may still be worried about the long nights and dreams. After you went to Saibei this time, she asked Chen Hong to personally select a consort for Yongning, and asked that everything be done quickly... If you hadn't fought too fast this time, I guess the Queen Mother
I hope this matter can be settled before you come back, so that all future troubles can be eliminated."
Gao Pragmatic smiled bitterly and said: "It sounds like I should stay in Tumut for a longer time."
"Don't be angry." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "I know this is none of your business, but the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, the mother of me and Yao Lao. It's not easy for me to even interfere in this kind of thing... Your grievance is mine.
I know that, so I have been thinking about how to reward you for your great contribution these days."
