rebel……
In Funing Hall, Zhao Zhen was sitting in the main seat, recalling the previous conversation with Zhao Yang with a ridiculous look on his face.
As the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, he never expected that one day someone would say 'rebellion' to him.
Who is he rebelling against? To rebel against yourself? He himself is the emperor of the Song Dynasty!
But then the boy's words made him think deeply: "Your Majesty, do you think this world really belongs to your Zhao family? If I remember correctly, the Song Dynasty was 'the king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world', right? So your Majesty took the lead in the rebellion, not yourself." The rebellion is the rebellion of the scholar-officials!... The scholar-officials who have subjugated their country can live and change their flags, but few monarchs who have subjugated their country will have a good end. Rather than being dragged down by this group of scholar-officials, they can simply It is not impossible to be a 'founding king' and take back all the power."
It's ridiculous to say this, but it doesn't seem to be unreasonable...
No, no, no, this is ridiculous!
Zhao Zhen shook his head, trying to forget the kid's ridiculous words.
In the second founding of the country, if Zhao Zhen really led the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to rebel and rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he would really leave a mark in the history books.
How can any emperor rebel in this world? !
"Official family?"
From the side, the eunuch Wang Shougui noticed the official's actions and asked cautiously.
No wonder he was so careful, because not long ago, the officials personally interrogated the palace supervisor who was on duty in the main hall of Chui Gong Hall today and asked him what he heard before the martial law in Chui Gong Hall today.
The official who asked the question had a pleasant look on his face, but the palace eunuch who was questioned looked confused and didn't know what to ask. The official hesitated for a long time, and finally gave the palace eunuch some rewards.
But after the palace eunuch was sent away, the official asked him to send someone to keep an eye on that person for a while, which made his back feel cold.
He understood at that time that the palace eunuch had actually gone through hell. If it were not for the kindness of today's officials, he would have been killed long ago, even if it was a mistake.
And all this is because of the young man with a strange origin.
"nothing."
Zhao Zhen shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong, then looked around the hall and asked, "Where is that kid? Didn't he say he wanted to eat?"
Wang Shougui glanced at Zhao Zhen secretly and said cautiously: "Little Prince... The officials have asked the undergarment warehouse to prepare some clothes for the young man. The people from the undergarment warehouse arrived earlier, and the young man is..."
"Oh." Zhao Zhen suddenly realized.
It's all because of that boy's nonsense about rebellion and disturbing my mood...
Zhao Zhen cursed secretly in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhao Yang turning out of the side hall.
At this moment, Zhao Yang is no longer dressed in civilian clothes, but has changed into a crimson brocade robe that is worth a lot at first glance, with a gold-striped belt tied around his waist, and deerskin brocade boots on his feet. Other than that, he was not wearing any accessories, nor was he wearing a hat or hood.
"Why don't you wear the accessories that come with your clothes?"
When Zhao Yang stepped forward and thanked him, Zhao Zhen asked curiously.
"I'm not used to wearing those." Zhao Yang explained.
Zhao Zhen nodded, but didn't say much, and then looked at Zhao Yang's robe.
It can be seen that this brocade robe looks a little too wide on Zhao Yang and does not fit very well. After all, this robe was not originally prepared for him.
As for who it was prepared for, the eunuch Wang Shougui and the eunuchs in the undergarment warehouse knew very well: this was the official gift originally planned to be given to Zhao Zongshi, the thirteenth son of Pu'an Yi Wang Zhao Yunrang, and tailor-made for him.
"Several clothes will be made according to the boy's body height and shoulder width. Let's...make six clothes first." Zhao Zhen ordered the eunuchs present in the clothing warehouse.
Six bodies?
First?
Several eunuchs in the undergarment warehouse secretly glanced at Zhao Yang, although they had already engraved the young man's face in their hearts.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Just because this young man was allowed by the officials to wear the clothes that were originally given to the "emperor's adopted son" Zhao Zongshi, it is worth remembering and not to offend him.
I just don’t know where this young gentleman came from, and how could he receive such favor in such a short period of time?
"Thank you, officials."
Zhao Yang once again cupped his hands and thanked him, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. After all, he had previously analyzed the reasons for the failure of the "Qingli New Deal" to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, taught him a few "unique tricks", and changed a few clothes. Already?
Although these robes look very valuable.
"sit down."
Zhao Zhen raised his left hand to signal and pointed to the small square table not far from him on the east side, which he had previously ordered Zhao Yang to set up.
After all, this is Funing Hall, his bedroom, and there are not many people who are qualified to dine with you here.
Zhao Yang was not polite. After thanking him, he walked over and sat down on the square stool.
"how?"
Seeing Zhao Yang stroking the square stool with a sigh on his face, Zhao Zhen was a little puzzled.
Zhao Yang said with a smile: "I'm just a little lucky. Fortunately, it's the Song Dynasty...the Song Dynasty. In the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, you had to kneel down to eat. After the meal, your legs would probably be numb. ...This thing hurts the knees." ah."
All the eunuchs in the palace were confused as they listened. They didn't know what Zhao Yang was talking nonsense. They felt a little funny, but they didn't dare to laugh. They lowered their heads one by one.
Only Zhao Zhen knew that this boy was telling the truth. He shook his head in a funny way and then ordered Wang Shourui: "Ask someone to serve the food."
"yes."
Wang Shougui bowed and immediately sent someone to notify the Food Bureau.
Not long after, the maids from the Shangshi Bureau brought food with vegetable boxes. Except for the chief female officer Shangshi, who was slightly older, probably in her thirties, the rest of the maids were all in their teens or twenties. As for appearance and body, there is no need to say much. Even the name Shang Shi is not bad.
At first, Zhao Yang looked at these palace maids with great interest. After all, compared with the makeup of later generations, the light makeup of women in the Song Dynasty was indeed unique. But when he noticed that these palace ladies were also secretly sizing him up, he could not help but feel Somewhat restrained.
"thanks, thanks."
When a young palace maid set the dishes for him, he customarily thanked her.
It could be seen that the palace maid was surprised. She turned to look at Zhao Yang with her eyes wide open, her lips moved slightly and she didn't know whether she was in a daze or hesitated for a moment before whispering in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, you are so polite..."
After saying that, she got up and left quickly with broken steps. Perhaps Zhao Yang's habitual thank you also made her a little embarrassed.
"Ah."
Zhao Zhen watched this scene with great interest. He probably saw that Zhao Yang had just habitually thanked the palace maid. However, considering that there were so many people talking in the palace at the moment, he did not say anything until Zhao Yang noticed him. When he raised his eyes, he smiled and raised his hand and said, "Try the dishes of my Da Song Dynasty and evaluate them."
Make an evaluation?
Shang Shi and the remaining maids who had retreated to one side of the palace glanced at Zhao Yang calmly.
Of course they knew that the origin of this young gentleman was not simple. After all, how many people could have meals with the official family in Funing Palace? But when it comes to reviews, this is a dish carefully prepared by Tashang Food Bureau!
Probably everyone thought it was the official's modest politeness, except Zhao Zhen and Zhao Yang.
Zhao Zhen really wanted to hear what this boy from a thousand years later had to say about his dishes from the Song Dynasty. After all, they were a thousand years apart. How could he dare to say he was confident?
Just like the food and wine of the pre-Qin Dynasty, are they something that can be swallowed in contemporary times?
And Zhao Yang was not polite. He picked up the chopsticks with one hand and his eyes fell on the dishes in front of him. There was a table full of dishes. As far as he could recognize, there were all kinds of chicken, duck and fish, as well as kidneys, mutton tongue, etc. Pork tripe, shrimp, and even clam soup.
"What is this? Dried meat?"
Zhao Yang used chopsticks to pick up one of the dishes. Two rows of what looked like dried meat were neatly arranged.
Zhao Zhen smiled and turned to look at Shang Shi. The latter understood. He walked to Zhao Yang's side in a few steps, bowed slightly and said, "Let Mr. Xiaolang know that this thing is called 豝鲲..."
As she spoke, she introduced how to make this dish, with a hint of pride in her tone.
Zhao Yang didn't have much reaction. When Shang Shi introduced it with pride, he said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's just pickled meat. These pieces are pickled fish."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of dried meat, took a small bite and chewed it for a while, then frowned slightly and made a comment: "General. The saltiness is acceptable, but there is a sour taste that I can't stand, as if it's rancid..."
"..."
Shang Shi's face turned red with anger, and with a flash of his eyes, he wanted to push this kid's head into the dish.
This is a delicacy that is popular with wine in the Song Dynasty, you ignorant little thing!
"Try something else."
Zhao Zhen was not surprised at all.
After a thousand years of food culture, it's strange that this guy can get used to the dishes of the Song Dynasty.
At Zhao Zhen's request, Zhao Yang took a bite of all the more than a dozen dishes on the table. While tasting, he commented: "A few soups are pretty good, but the freshness is still a little bit low. How can I say the rest? It's not satisfactory. Compared with this exquisite presentation, it is not as stunning as expected, but it is barely acceptable... Let's talk about this plate of stewed chicken. The chicken is good and the stew is cooked to the right level, but the seasoning is still lacking... Oh, the pork tripe is good. , crispy, pork is also good, buckle, it is worthy of eating vegetable bran, it is different from eating feed to ripen, and other things, just so-so..."
Seeing Zhao Yang commenting on the dishes of Shang Shi Bureau without any scruples, not to mention that Shang Shi was shaking with anger, and the eunuchs and maids waiting around were even more embarrassed and did not dare to express their anger.
In the Palace of Funing, in the palace of the official, in front of the official, he unscrupulously criticized the dishes carefully prepared by the palace's food bureau. This boy is simply audacious!
What made them even more unbelievable was that in the face of this boy's rudeness, the official was not angry at all, but smiled.
Who is this guy? !
