Li Jizhou, the eunuch of the Eastern Palace Bingbi, and Li Fengxiang, the eunuch supervising the inner factory, one is responsible for accounting and the other is responsible for arresting people. The name "Notorious Er Li" has been spread among the eunuchs, and they are thinking about arresting people every day to claim credit.
These two people, together with Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of Li Bingbi, Yang Jinchao, the eunuch in East Palace, Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch in Dongchang, Gao Shiming, the eunuch in charge of Li, Chu Xianzhang, the eunuch in charge of various supervisory bureaus, and Zhang Guoyuan, the eunuch in Shangshan Supervision, were targeted. His colleagues who hated him collectively called him "the prince's bastard"!
After Wang Cheng'en was bitten out by Wang Dehua, he immediately donated all his belongings and became the prince's yes-man. The speed of his embrace caught his peers by surprise...
Yang Jinchao is now the prince's second mouth. He will relay the content that is sometimes inconvenient for the prince to say, and he will naturally collect the money that is inconvenient to collect.
Fang Zhenghua, who was promoted to governor by the prince, already had great power and gained the prince's high trust because it was rumored that the prince had privately said that from now on, both the residence and the yamen (the twenty-four yamen) must reduce costs, except for Dongchang.
Gao Shiming and Wang Chengen jointly reviewed the memorials submitted by the cabinet, drafted the imperial edict and stamped it, and translated the classical Chinese text that the prince did not understand. If the prince regretted it later, he could temporarily act as the emperor's scapegoat.
Chu Xianzhang is responsible for supervising the 24 yamen, especially the actions and abnormal expenses of the chief eunuchs of each yamen. If he has any income, he will directly report it to the Ming Prince, and then a certain senior eunuch will not be able to go to work the next day...
Among this group of people, the only ones who could see the prince regularly every day, at least three times a day, were Zhang Guoyuan, Shang Shanjian and other lifeline yamen. The prince could only eat with confidence by placing his confidants.
It is said that Emperor Apocalypse favored Wei Zhongxian, and now the queen suddenly transformed into eight or nine thousand years old. Although he did not have the power of Wei Zhongxian, he was very proud. The eunuchs who had not "transformed" naturally felt envious, jealous, and hateful in their hearts~!
Since the second batch of servants led by Yan Siyin were killed, many "potential buyers" have been stimulated. The sales of Zijin Bonds have risen rapidly again, currently exceeding 3 million taels, and it is estimated that it will exceed 4 million taels tomorrow. mark.
On the one hand, the eunuchs and maids were forced to dig out money to buy peace because of the prince's butcher's knife.
On the other hand, after learning that the prince had bought the Zhaoyuan gold mine and was going to open another gold mine in Ye County, everyone was no longer afraid that the prince would not have the money to pay back the money. If he didn't have the silver, he could still pay back the gold.
Use two gold mines and the royal reputation as collateral, and your credit will naturally be leveraged!
If the prince really didn't want to pay back the money, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to have someone keep accounts and issue personal ledgers.
Everyone also heard from senior chamberlains that when their money is taken out after maturity, it is clean money that can be spent however they want.
Therefore, the eunuchs in charge of the various palaces in the harem and the twenty-four yamen gangs went crazy and bought purple bonds as if they had lost everything.
The ten-year bond has a 25% investment return, and the prince will also help you earn money for free, so you no longer have to hide it. Where can you find such a good thing?
Some people still regret it. If only they had exchanged their five-year loan for a ten-year loan, they could still earn 5% more interest.
However, the bookkeepers will not allow you to act so nonsense. If you change your past today, if you regret it again tomorrow and want to change it back, what are you doing?
For the chamberlains, the most important task at the moment is to honestly complete the errands assigned by the prince, and then live long enough to redeem the purple gold bonds. That will be a glorious return to home~!
"Well, don't forget what you said, go down!"
This standard mahjong is almost enough. The words on the cards are actually secondary. The most important thing about the mahjong tiles is that they are of moderate weight, have a good feel, and are smooth and soft to the touch, just like...
Thinking of this, Yao Ji turned his head and looked at the huge hemisphere of Sister Xi'er who was serving him at the side!
Xi'er was confused by the prince, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Could it be that she was wearing her clothes inside out?
While hesitating, he thought of a reasonable reason and asked: "Your Highness has worked hard for a long time, but are you hungry now?"
Yao Ji smiled knowingly, I am indeed hungry, but I can’t give Yao Ji any supplements yet, so I have to endure it.
He glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost dinner time. Even if he wasn't hungry yet, the stomachs of his pig-like brothers and sisters would growl.
"Well, let Zhang Guoyuan marinate the pork at noon. Now the royal chefs should prepare the braised pork rice!"
Zhu Cijiong was still excited about the pork chops and braised noodles. He begged his beautiful mother to eat it today. However, the menu these days was decided by the eldest son. Queen Zhou's mood was disturbed by the national war, so she had no intention of interfering in this matter.
I ate braised noodles last night. I can’t eat any more noodles today. I have to try something new. For pig-like brothers, braised pork rice with sauce is delicious and easy to make. It looks great and is made by the royal chefs. You will be familiar with it after just one try.
Don't use a small bowl when eating braised pork rice. In order to mix the gravy well, you must use a large bowl. Only in this way can you enjoy the meal and enjoy it.
How did you say that?
large!
So satisfying!
By the time Yaoji went to his beautiful mother's place for dinner, everyone had already arrived.
Concubine Tian originally didn't want to dine with her number one rival every day, but the emperor hadn't woken up yet, and now she couldn't count on it. Her own father, Tian Hongyu, was still detained by the Imperial Guards, so she could still take advantage of the opportunity of dinner. Ask the prince for some inside information. If it is convenient for his family, it would be better to be released as soon as possible.
Some people don’t want to come but have to come, some want to come but can’t because this table is not something you can come to if you want to.
The fringe concubines such as the concubine who dumped the father, Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang, Concubine Shen, etc. are not qualified to dine together for the time being.
However, these little wives also have practical uses. For example, if there are not enough people to vote in favor at the meeting, these mini-state warriors can be used to make up the number.
The queen's father is considered a first-class envoy, and the imperial concubine's father is a second-class envoy, so Concubine Bin's fathers are considered to be third-class envoys, and they are guaranteed to make some stubborn ministers angry...
As long as there is such a need, I will take the fight to all the national battles that are still taking place!
Mad Dog Minister wants to play voting with me?
I can play tricks on you all!
Concubine Liu was getting older, already over seventy. The emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan was afraid that she would be lonely, so she didn't come over to dine with her.
Zhang Yan was rated as one of the five great queens in ancient times. She was a true super beauty who only appeared once in 500 years.
She is even better than national-level girls like Empress Zhou and Concubine Tian. If she hadn't held the title of imperial sister-in-law, she would have become the target of public criticism in the imperial palace.
In addition to braised pork rice, there are three side dishes on the table: stir-fried rapeseed with mushrooms, braised peanuts with celery, and boiled dried shredded silk. Among them, "boiled dried shredded silk" is also related to Fourth Master Qian's visit to the south of the Yangtze River. Yangzhou's famous dish "Nine Silk Soup" has passed A certain emperor's advice turned into another delicacy.
It is not a meal service system when everyone eats together. Although they sit together, there is something like a lunch box in front of each person, which is used to hold the braised pork rice. There are three small bowls with side dishes next to it. In order to avoid unnecessary It’s such a waste, the small bowl is only as big as a palm.
This not only achieves the original intention of collective fire and saving household expenses, but also takes into account personal hygiene preferences to avoid eating other people's saliva.
Some people don't say anything, but they dislike each other very much in their hearts, especially the beautiful mother and Aunt Tian. These beautiful enemies should dislike each other...
The people at the same table were all the top beauties of the Great Dynasty. Yaoji didn't care about this at all. As for the younger brothers who were digging for food like pigs, they could be ignored.
The third prince Zhu Cijiong didn't know the specific method of braised pork rice. Hearing the name, he thought it was like making braised noodles, with crumbled braised sauce covered on the rice.
When they arrived at Kunning Palace, they discovered that the delicacies looked different, but they looked mouth-watering. Zhu Cijiong kept swallowing as soon as he saw what was on the table.
Braised pork rice does have minced braised pork covered on the rice, but Yaoji did not ask the imperial chefs to do that, because if the meat is too small, the princes and princesses who are not yet adults will most likely not chew it. Swallow it down, to put it bluntly, you are too lazy to chew it.
It was like this yesterday, and if it is still like this today, it will easily hurt the stomach and be difficult to digest. The direct consequence will be rapid weight gain. Yaoji has reminded the beautiful biological mother that the prince and princess are not allowed to rest directly within half an hour after eating, and must walk to digest food.
Before presenting it, Zhang Guoyuan tasted it in advance. Although the preparation of this braised pork rice is not complicated, it does have merits and tastes very good. However, since it is the first time for everyone to make this thing, there is still a little uneasiness in his heart: "Your Highness, please try it first. I don't know if the chefs can cook it to the level expected by Your Highness."
In order to avoid ruining their craftsmanship at night and making the whole family dissatisfied, the royal chefs couldn't wait to cook it first in the afternoon as a practice or test.
According to the menu provided by the prince, the five royal chefs made the same braised pork rice. After everyone tasted it, they selected the most delicious one for dinner to ensure that it was foolproof.
Everyone thought it was good enough, so they invited Zhang Guoyuan to taste it. After getting the basic approval from the supervisor, everyone summarized their previous experience and agreed on a standard approach that they could master, so that they could be targeted.
It can basically guarantee that even if this delicacy is served on the royal table for the first time, it will not be discredited by Shangshan Superintendent. It would be really embarrassing to be stumped by such a simple herb selection.
The real reason why a group of cooks were able to brainstorm is that it is not enough for a royal chef to be able to cook this dish. After the prince had finished eating in the past two days, he asked the Shangshan Supervisor to make lunch for the courtiers the next day. Everyone must be able to cook it, and everyone must be able to cook it. Just make it delicious.
After all, if the prince praises this delicacy to the courtiers in advance, and you make a dark dish and are criticized by the courtiers, the prince's face will be tarnished, and he will definitely vent his anger on the kitchen, and someone will be cooked...
