"Father, this is pork!"
"pork?"
Emperor Yu frowned slightly and reacted suddenly: "Is it a dolphin?"
"Exactly!"
Seeing Ning Fan nodding with a smile, Emperor Yu held a piece of braised pork in his hand and swallowed hard, as if he wanted to put it down, but the alluring smell of the meat made him eager to try it!
"Fan'er, pork meat has always had a fishy smell, but why is this braised pork so delicious and not smelly at all?"
"Mother, these dolphins are raised through special methods. They are baby dolphins, and after being pickled, they taste extremely delicious!"
"I see!"
Concubine Xian nodded with a smile, gently picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up: "It melts in your mouth. I didn't expect that this pork meat can be eaten like this!"
"Yeah?"
Emperor Yu glanced at the two of them suspiciously, then took a piece of meat and tasted it carefully. As soon as the piece of meat entered his mouth, he immediately showed a look of intoxication!
"Father, how does it taste?"
"good!"
Emperor Yu nodded appreciatively, looked at Ning Fan and said, "Are all these dishes made from pork?"
"Um!"
"Okay, this pork meat is as delicious as beef and mutton, or even better. If this method can be promoted, ordinary people can also eat this delicious food!"
"But how can this dolphin get rid of the fishy smell?"
"What's the cost?"
"What materials are needed for pickling?"
Hearing Emperor Yu's question, Ning Fan said with a smile: "Father, for the specific method, I will send someone to teach the palace chef, it's better that you don't know!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu didn't seem to care, and just nodded slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that girl Ning Yao start to devour the food without saying a word, and she almost finished the food on the table!
"Girl, eat slowly, it's so insulting to politeness!"
"Father, I would like to stay at my second brother's house for a few days, okay?"
"Nonsense!"
Concubine Xian watched silently from the side with a smile in her eyes, picking up dishes for the two brothers and sisters from time to time. The meal was warm and harmonious, and Emperor Yu seemed to be satisfied.
"Second dick!"
"Nowadays, most of the officials in the imperial court have either been beheaded by your royal guards or have been imprisoned by you!"
"The operation of the six ministries and local officials have been affected. What do you think?"
After having enough wine and food, Emperor Yu changed the topic to government affairs, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Ning Fan.
"Father, I'm afraid you have to ask the two prime ministers for advice on this matter. I am only responsible for catching and killing!"
"If it doesn't work, just promote a few from the local area."
"It's not as simple as you think!" Emperor Yu said with a far-reaching gaze: "The selection and appointment of officials must take into account all aspects, including talent, character, virtue, reputation and even balance!"
"During this period, Duke Shen took up the position of Right Chancellor and promoted many poor families, so much so that officials headed by some aristocratic families expressed strong dissatisfaction!"
"This time, even that old fox Lin Qiushi stood up to oppose it!"
There was a hidden luster in Emperor Yu's eyes, but his tone was extremely calm: "A noble family is an insurmountable mountain in this era!"
"They monopolize books, talents, resources, and control the entrance to the court!"
"Even I can't interfere with this!"
"Father!" Ning Fan glanced at Emperor Yu and said softly: "Perhaps you can discuss this matter with Mr. Shen!"
"I have discussed this matter with Kong Ming and Duke Shen, and we have come up with corresponding countermeasures!"
"However, this policy is of great importance. Based on the current national conditions of our country, Dayu, it is not suitable for promotion, so Kong Ming thought of a compromise!"
"Um?"
When Emperor Yu heard that Ning Fan had introduced the topic to Zhuge Liang again, he couldn't help but be surprised. He glanced sideways and seemed to be interested!
"Tell me!"
"Issue a recruitment order!"
…
Huainan, Lingzhou City!
Posthouse.
A man dressed as a barbarian was sitting in front of the window. He saw a cold light and a dart shot directly at the door!
A flash of waves flashed in the man's eyes. He held the weak dart in one hand and took out a small note from the end!
"Someone is coming!"
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Tell Ashina that the news that he has been replaced has been leaked, and let him find a place to hide immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the waiter went down, the barbarian man had a sneer on his face. He looked at the person under the window and nodded calmly!
"Ashina!"
"Master Wuyou asks you to go out and hide quickly. The news that you have been replaced by a death row prisoner has been leaked!"
In the room, there was a burly man with a hideous scar on his face, and a look of anger in his eyes!
"A group of despicable two-legged sheep. I am a warrior of the Great Barbarian Kingdom. How could I retreat to this group of untouchables?"
"The glory of the Great Man God does not allow me to do this!"
"Ashina, this is not an ancient country, you should listen to Lord Wuyou!"
"Hmph, I want to see what these untouchables can do to me!"
Ashina's eyes were full of arrogance, and her expression was also extremely disdainful. At some point, another group of people gathered outside the post house!
"Have you all heard that the barbarian who harmed our girl was actually replaced by a death row prisoner?"
"It was even done by someone from the palace!"
"It's absolutely abominable. They have ruined our people in Dayu, and these dog officials are actually shielding criminals from outsiders!"
"You are simply throwing yourself into my face, Dayu!"
A young man stood in the crowd, his eyes full of anger, and the two scholars next to him also had angry faces!
"Today, I must kill this beast with my own hands!"
"A group of uncivilized barbarians dare to act so wantonly in my territory, Dayu!"
"Folks, we must seek an explanation for the dead girls!"
"Yes, I must ask for an explanation!"
After the young man finished speaking, he disappeared silently into the crowd, and as the victims' families came, the people became more and more indignant!
"These beasts broke into their door!"
"There are so many of us, rush in and tear off that beast's head!"
"Yes, rush in together!"
…
Huainan Palace!
Lu Kan's face suddenly darkened when he heard his subordinates coming to report!
"Bastard thing!"
"How do you do things!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, no one thought that the death row prisoner had been beaten to a bloody pulp, but he happened to be recognized by someone!"
"Moreover, Ashina was walking unscrupulously in the city, acting very arrogantly, and was seen by others!"
"These barbarians simply don't take our palace seriously!"
Listening to the servant's explanation, the anger in Lu Kan's eyes gradually subsided, and he said calmly: "Go down!"
