The rise of the prince

Chapter 107

When it comes to eating hot pot, Li Ye dares to call himself a "professional household", and the most important thing is that the bottom of the pot must be fried by himself.

He Qian also came all the way to join in the fun, because Li Ye had someone notify her.If it wasn't for her help this time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After all, it's just three things. If He Zhao gets annoyed after visiting the door again and again, he can't help but be beaten to death, thanks to her "internal response".

As for Li Ye from the Wang family not going, after all Gillian is different from He Qian, and she is reserved like a lady, so she will definitely not come, unlike He Qian who never thinks of herself as a lady.

Eating hot pot pays attention to excitement, the more people, the better.

There are a lot of ingredients prepared, onion, ginger, garlic, grass fruit, fragrant sand, kaempferen, fennel, star anise, fragrant leaves, peppercorns, green peppercorns, mountain pepper, watercress, dried chili, and high-quality butter.In this day and age, it is illegal to kill farm cattle. Even if there is a reason, such as injury or illness, the slaughter must be reported to the government.

It took him a lot of effort to get this bit of butter, and he traveled almost all over the capital to hear that a villager outside the city west of the city fell off a cliff and broke his leg while grazing cattle. , and hurriedly asked Yan Shen to bring back the money, not only butter, but also fresh beef.

"What kind of mess do you put in? Do you really know how?" Other ladies from wealthy families are afraid of the kitchen, but He Qian is not. Wei Xingping is responsible for heating the fire outside, while Qiu'er, Yue'er and Wei Yubai are choosing vegetables He Qian didn't know these things, so he ran along with Li Ye enthusiastically, and when he saw something novel, he would lean over and stare at it, and he couldn't drive away if it got in the way.

"What a mess, you'll know when you eat it later." Li Ye pushed her back, for fear that she would be hurt by the boiling pan. In fact, butter has a low boiling point and won't fry the pan like lard and vegetable oil, but she can He Zhao's favorite jewel was injured and it is difficult to explain.

As he said, put grass fruit, fragrant sand, kaempferen, fennel, star anise, fragrant leaves, peppercorns, green peppercorns, mountain pepper, and watercress into the butter and cook.The butter used in hot pot is firstly fragrant, secondly, the butter is not greasy, and thirdly, the boiling point is not high, so it is not easy to damage the ingredients, and it is easy to boil when cooking.

When the cooking is almost done, add green onions, ginger, garlic, and finally chili noodles. Considering the number of girls, Li Ye can only reluctantly give up and put away the ready-to-use chili noodles.

"Why are you suddenly so frustrated." Seeing this, He Qian asked in puzzlement.

Li Ye shook his head sadly: "You don't understand, a hot pot without a bowl of chili noodles is soulless."

"What are you talking about? It's still unclear." He Qian gave him a blank look.

Soon, a mouth-watering fragrance wafted out, He Qian couldn't help sniffing, then choked on the chili noodles, and sneezed, Li Ye hurriedly stopped her: "Why, the saliva is spraying went in."

He Qian blushed and stepped on him: "Big bastard, what are you talking about?"

The other big pot is for soup. The whole chicken and pork ribs are boiled with green onion knots and ginger for an afternoon.The chickens in this era are all authentic local chickens, they have not been fed feed, and the soup they make is also very fragrant.

He Qian looked at him curiously, and took out all the bottom ingredients in the pot and put them into another strange yellow copper pot.

She seems to be curious about everything: "What spices do you use, so fragrant?"

"Why do you only want soup when you cook chicken, then what do you cook chicken for?"

"Why is the pot made of copper, and there is an empty space in the middle? It doesn't look like a pot at all."

Li Ye didn't find it annoying, and explained to her a few words from time to time that copper conducts heat faster than iron, and hollow spaces can conduct heat, increasing the heating area, etc. The little girl was half-knowledgeable, but also very interested.

"Is there evidence for what you said?" the emperor frowned and asked.

He Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what I said was the daughter of He Zhao, but what is the truth? Please ask your Majesty to interrogate Wei Chaoren in the Yushitai, or send a special envoy to Guanbei to ask the soldiers who participated in the war. It will only take a few days for the North to go fast, and we will know by then.

Don't make a hasty conclusion before finding out, Wei Chaoren is the governor of the dynasty, a high-ranking member of the third rank, so it is not appropriate to make a random conclusion. "

The emperor also had a solemn expression on his face: "That's why you didn't report this matter at the court meeting, but came to see me privately."

He Zhao nodded: "Exactly, please think about it, Your Majesty, if this is true, the battle report will be escorted by Wei Chaoren's cronies all the way from Guanbei to Kyoto, until the outer gate of the imperial city is handed over to the palace guards, and at the inner gate, it will be handed over to the inner court secretary." The eunuch took over.

Among them, Wei Chaoren's cronies will not harm him, and the eunuch of the Inner Court Department is a subordinate of Father Fu'an's discipline, and he must be loyal to His Majesty. "Speaking of this, the old eunuch standing beside the emperor glanced at He Zhao indistinctly, showing gratitude.

"Then the only ones who may have made a mistake." He Zhao didn't say anything more, because the matter has already reached the most sensitive place, Shangzhiqin Weiying and Wu Desi!
"Before I came here, I specially read the entry and exit records of the gates of Kaiyuan that day, and found that it was midnight after Wei Chaoren's cronies arrived in Kyoto. At that time, the nearest Xi'an gate was not left. Let the imperial city go around Donghua gate. It is so urgent. Why did Zhanbao take a detour? It must be that the gate of Xi'an is not open.

Guanbei Zhanbao came to the capital to hang three red flags, and they could not be blocked all the way. Wu Desi, who was in charge of the palace gate, did not open the Xi'an Gate at this time, but only opened the farther Donghua Gate, which is very strange! "

At this time, Fu An, the chief eunuch behind the emperor, seemed to think of something, and said, "Your Majesty, across the low wall from the Xi'an Gate is the eunuch in the palace. Night duty, eyes open all night, there is indeed something wrong."

The emperor's face became more and more gloomy: "Avoid people's eyes and ears! Fu'an, let the personal guard envoy Wei leave the Yushitai to bring Wei Chaoren to see me!" After thinking for a while, he added: "Let him act in a low-key manner, come and go be quick."

"The old slave understands!" Fu An said and began to order the servants to go.

The force defending the capital is the Imperial Army, which is stationed in various camps outside the city and pivotal points throughout the country. The strength of troops in the capital is comparable to that of other places, and there are two organizations defending the imperial city, the Wu De Division and the Shang Zhi Qin Guards Battalion.

The Secretary of the Imperial City is a leader selected from the Forbidden Army. He is in charge of the keys of the various doors of the Imperial City and is on duty. He is also responsible for serving as the emperor's eyes and ears and spying on intelligence.There are four battalions in total, but the number of battalions is smaller. Generally, more than 1000 people are maintained, and they are on duty 24 hours a day.

The Shangzhi Personal Guard Battalion has a staff of [-], and the real elite among the elites is a security organization that personally protects the emperor and directly obeys the emperor's orders. The infantry trains four times a day, and the horse army five trains. .Wei Li, the envoy of Shangzhi's personal guards, was the chief officer of the Shangzhi's personal guards.

Generally speaking, whether it is the Shangzhiqin Guards or Wu Desi, they must be run by loyal people and absolutely obey the emperor's orders. After all, it is the closest armed force to the emperor. The sword has double edges. hurt yourself!
Hearing He Zhao talk about this matter today, the emperor suddenly looked ugly and took it very seriously!
He can ignore whether Wei Chaoren is dead or alive, and what happened in Guanbei, but he can't ignore Wu Desi's loyalty to him!
Over a thousand elites, and patrolling the imperial city, if something goes wrong, no one can sleep!
