Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 907
"The minister is high and pragmatic. I have met the emperor."

Today is not a grand ceremony or court meeting, Gao Yushi just stepped forward and bowed.

Zhu Yijun smiled cheerfully, stepped forward to help him, and said, "You are a birthday star today, so don't be too polite."

Under normal circumstances, this kind of "support" should be an empty support, but Zhu Yijun's support was really exerted, almost lifting Gao Yushi's arms and body. Take advantage of the situation and stand up.

Before he could speak, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I heard that your White Jade Tower is beautifully built and has an exotic style. I have long wanted to see it, but today it just so happens... Be pragmatic, and don't think I, a bad guest, bother you." ?”

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "The emperor was joking, the emperor's royal family came in person, and the humble house was luxuriant. This is a good thing that can't be expected. How can you be a bad guest?"

At this time, the rest of the honorable officials had already left the table, walked to both sides of the aisle in the middle of the aisle, and saluted one after another, saying that "the minister is meeting the emperor", especially some lower-ranking officials were even more excited, after all, they usually don't have many opportunities to get close to him. See the emperor from a distance.

Zhu Yijun glanced at it, then waved his hand casually: "My lords, you are welcome."

When the emperor came in person, the banquet was about to change, because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty rarely sat with his courtiers, so Gao Wushi invited the emperor to come forward, and at the same time gave Gao Mo and Cao Gan a wink and asked them to quickly arrange a separate meeting. on the table.

The servants of the Gao Mansion are of course extremely efficient in this regard. Gao Yushi and Zhu Yijun walked forward slowly, chatted with each other with a smile while walking, and the tables and seats were quickly set up in the innermost part of the Western-style banquet hall.

Zhu Yijun walked up to him and took a look, then shook his head and said, "Why is there only one chair, let's put another one." Then he turned to Gao Wushi and said, "I'm here today to enjoy your happiness, you can't run away, Leave me here alone."

Gao Wushi was about to use the ancestral system to refuse, but Zhu Yijun suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you."

Now Gao Wushi had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his lips, responded loudly with a smile, and then asked in a low voice: "The minister is going to speak in two days, is the emperor in a hurry?"

Since the reward has not yet come down, and the highly pragmatic imperial dispatch has been handed over, so now he has returned to his job, and one of his jobs is to lecture on officials during the banquet.

According to the current "scheduling", he has "four lessons" to teach the emperor a month, and this is what "introduction" refers to.

Although the lecturer on Jingyan Day is the so-called close minister of the emperor, after all, this "closeness" is not as high as the post of "observing politics" in the past. He didn't accompany the emperor every day, and he could only see him on the days of lectures.

In other words, if the emperor had something to say to Gao Yushi in person, he had to wait for Gao Yushi to speak before he had a chance, otherwise he could only contact Gao Yushi through the eunuchs around him.

At this time, the servants of Gao's mansion had already set up another chair according to Zhu Yijun's instructions. Zhu Yijun just said "hmm" before going up to sit down first, and then smiling and gesturing to Gao Yushi: "Come on, come on." , Mr. Shou Xing, please sit down."

Most of the people who were close to him were nobles, and besides, there were court officials like Wu Dui. They couldn't help but feel envious when they heard the emperor's tone.

The friendship between classmates in the past ten years is really stronger than gold, and there is no second person in the world.

Gao Yushi confessed his crime to all the honorable and high-ranking officials, and sat down in the lower seat next to the emperor, but he didn't immediately ask the emperor's purpose of coming here, but said: "Your Majesty, although the royal meal in the palace is good, but as far as I understand , the first priority of its cooking is "Wu Guo", although "Wu Guo" is in line with the golden mean, it lacks some novelty... It is different here. Famous delicacies from all over the world and novelties from overseas, since the emperor is here today, don't miss it."

Originally, Zhu Yijun didn't put his mind on eating, but after hearing what Gao Wushi said, he couldn't help becoming a little interested, and asked, "Oh? Then I need to experience it. Tell me, what's new about this one?" things?"

Gao Wushi said: "I like some rare seafood in my diet. For example, this dish is called Xi Shi Tong."

Zhu Yijun glanced at the dish that Gao Wushi pointed at, and asked, "Does it look like a scallop?"

"The name of this thing is sand clam. According to legend, it was a famous delicacy in the Tang Dynasty, but I have never seen it in the palace for so many years. No wonder the emperor admits his mistake." Gao Wushi has a close relationship with Zhu Yijun, but he is not afraid to say that the emperor made a mistake .

Zhu Yijun wasn't surprised either, instead he asked in surprise, "Why is it called Xishi Tongue?"

Gao Wushi said: "I haven't researched it in detail, but Lu Juren once chanted this thing in a poem: All fish in the sea don't know their names, and hundreds of thousands of lives are a piece of soup. There is no reason to change the name to Xishi Tongue, and to have a delusional relationship with children."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "This person thinks too much."

Gao Wushi couldn't help laughing, and said again: "This item was sent by my servant Ding Gaoqi from Fujian, and he also told me a legend, maybe the emperor will be more interested after hearing it."

"Let me guess...it has something to do with Xi Shi?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "Of course. It is said that Xi Shi and Fan Li were separated on the way to escape. She knew that she was lonely and prone to misfortune, so she intentionally bit off her tongue and spit it into the river. Among the clams with open shells, the beautiful tongue with a fairy embryo is of course not ordinary, it survived inside the clam, and entered the sea from the river, becoming today's beautiful tongue."

Zhu Yijun laughed, and said: "The Huansha people still have their tongues. Although the story itself is a bit poignant, but future generations can enjoy the delicacy and reputation, and it is not worthy of Xi Shi."

After chatting for a while, Zhu Yijun ate some dishes of the Gaofu, full of praise, and said with emotion: "I thought that the imperial cuisine should be the most delicious cuisine in the world, but now it seems that it is not the case. I reckon that the Imperial Dining Room can’t do it.”

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, your words have wronged the Imperial Dining Room."

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun asked in surprise, "Where did you wrong them?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "You are just used to it, or even tired of eating it, and you just find it delicious when you change it. It's just like the minister, who has been eating at home for a long time, and occasionally goes to other people's houses for a drink , I always feel that the dishes at other people's homes have a special flavor, and the dishes at home are far from comparable. But in fact, if someone who has never eaten in the two houses is to judge, he may think that the dishes at Chen's house are more delicious .”

Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "It turns out that this is the reason, I understand. No wonder every time I go to Tianshou Mountain, I always feel that the cooks at the Imperial Mausoleum are better than those in the Imperial Dining Room. Now it seems that it is not necessarily a matter of craftsmanship, but I changed my taste."

But that's the end of this topic. The banquet has been going on for quite a while now. After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and people around them no longer staring at them as they did at the beginning, Zhu Yijun changed the subject, Said: "Yao is going to get married soon."

Gao Wushi was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "So fast?"

Zhu Yijun smiled wryly and said, "The last time you had a 'coincidence' with Yao, the queen mother found out about it later. Fortunately, there was no accident that time, and Yao was very calm afterwards, so the mother didn't care about it, but..."

He sighed: "The queen mother may still be worried about having long nights and dreams. After you went to Saibei this time, she asked Chen Hong to personally choose a son-in-law for Yongning, and asked everything to be done quickly... If you didn't fight too fast this time, I guess the queen mother I hope that this matter will be settled before you come back, so that all future troubles will be eliminated."

Gao Wushi smiled wryly, "It sounds like I should have stayed in Tumed more."

"Don't be angry." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "I know it's none of your business, but the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, she is the queen mother of Yao and I, and I can't even get involved in this kind of matter... Your grievances I know, so I have been thinking about how to reward you for your great achievements these days."
