Chapter 79

The courtiers who can enter the Xuanzheng Palace are all carefully selected people who claim to be extremely intelligent, but they are helpless about this matter.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help thinking of Li Changfeng.

If it was Li Changfeng, what would he do in this situation?
With Xiao Jiu's ingenuity, maybe there is a way?
Thinking of this, Emperor Qianwu suddenly felt that the debates among the courtiers in the hall were a bit harsh, and he was agitated for a while.

But as an emperor, he could only listen patiently, until the end of the court, he could not reach a conclusion in the debate, so he could only continue the discussion tomorrow.

After retiring from the court, Emperor Qianwu came to Fengyi Palace.

Empress Murong saw that Emperor Ganwu was frowning, so she asked softly: "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood, I don't know why you are worried, let's see if my concubine can share one or two for Your Majesty."

Emperor Ganwu rubbed his brows, and said with some headache: "There was a flood in Shangzhou, and we needed silver taels to relieve the victims and strengthen the dams, and there were barbarians in the barren state, who needed silver taels and prepared grain and grass, but the treasury can only take out a mere 10 taels now. Baiyin, a drop in the bucket, what do you think I should do?"

No matter how big things happened to Emperor Ganwu on weekdays, he always behaved calmly and would not reveal his true inner thoughts to others.

It was only with Empress Murong that he would confide his heart so unscrupulously, which shows how much he favors Empress Murong.

Hearing this, Empress Murong couldn't help but frowned.

She has no good way to do this, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and she never interferes with anything outside the harem, which is why she is trusted by Emperor Ganwu.

She also knew that Emperor Ganwu was just talking and didn't really want to get any useful advice from her, so she said softly: "How can a concubine, a woman, understand these important military affairs?"

With that said, Empress Murong came behind Emperor Qianwu, and gently placed her slender hands on Emperor Qianwu's temples, while rubbing them with moderate force, she said softly: "I only know that your Majesty is the god of this great work, It is the heaven of the concubine, only the dragon body and health can stabilize the country, and the problem will always be solved."

The tense muscles on Emperor Qianwu's face gradually relaxed, and he closed his eyes, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"You..."

it is more than words.

Empress Murong smiled lightly, changed the subject and said something lighthearted.

"Little Changning fell asleep when he came back yesterday, and he didn't wake up until dawn today. When he got up, he would yell that he wanted to go out to play, saying that the palace is boring."

Mentioning that cute little guy, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help showing a smile: "There are indeed more interesting places outside the palace, and that kid Jianye loves Changning, and took her around to play wildly, and he was a little unhappy when he said he wanted to go back to the palace. .”

……

After that, the two of them chatted about some trivial things about their parents, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Emperor Ganwu became more and more relaxed, and finally fell asleep.

Empress Murong sighed softly, and sent someone to cover her with a thin blanket, and sat beside her to accompany her.

For three consecutive days, the agenda of the meeting was still to raise money to deal with the floods, but there was still no effective strategy.

This made Emperor Qianwu feel even more heavy.

this day.

During the break in the middle of the court meeting, Emperor Qianwu looked at Gao Dali, and Gao Dali nodded calmly.

Immediately, Emperor Ganwu coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Your family must be thirsty, and a batch of new tea has entered the palace with a very unique taste, which will quench your thirst and refresh your family."

All the ministers bowed to thank: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After arguing for so long, the courtiers were indeed a little thirsty.

However, most of the courtiers didn't pay attention to what Emperor Qianwu said was very unique.

There are only a few types of tea in today's world, and the method of brewing tea is also fixed. Even if the quality of imperial tea is better, how good can it be?
Soon, a large number of eunuchs came in with trays, and a unique fragrance filled the entire hall, and the eyes of the courtiers were brightened, and their spirits were also lifted.

"A curious scent!"

"Fresh and elegant, really unique!"

"I've never smelled this kind of tea, it's so tempting!"

"I just don't know what it tastes like after eating!"

As the head of all officials, Feng Quji received the first cup of tea.

After seeing the bottomless tea soup, his eyes lit up and he let out an exclamation.

“What a clear tea soup!”

Immediately put it in front of the nose, gently fanned it with the hand and smelled it, and the eyes became brighter: "It smells good! It smells so good!"

With a word of praise, Feng Quji took a sip lightly, then smacked his mouth, a look of enjoyment suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Fresh and elegant, refreshing and pure, good tea! Good tea!"

"Such a strange taste, I have never heard of it or seen it before!"

As soon as the words fell, those courtiers who hadn't received the tea suddenly showed longing expressions and swallowed saliva involuntarily.

You know, Feng Quji is addicted to tea, and he has a very high attainment in the tea ceremony, which is known to everyone in the whole capital.

Even he gave such a high evaluation, which shows that this tea must be very special.

Immediately afterwards, Zhongshuling, Liubu Shangshu and others also exclaimed, praising the tea for its excellent taste, which they had never tasted before.

As a result, the courtiers who had not received the tea were even more itchy.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Qianwu showed a faint smile.

Works great!

In the past, when people drank tea, they boiled it in boiling water, then added onion, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other auxiliary materials, and boiled it for a long time before drinking it.

Compared with Li Changfeng's fried tea, its taste is simply indescribable.

Anyone who has drunk this kind of tea will definitely abandon the previous boiled tea like a shoe.

The sales of Little Royal Tea are stable!

Soon, the tea in the courtier's teacup was finished, and everyone showed unfinished expressions, wanting to have another cup with their mouths smashed.

But Emperor Qianwu didn't give them this chance, he glanced at Gao Dali, Gao Dali understood, and ordered the little eunuch to take away the teacup.

Feng Quji reluctantly looked at the teacup he had taken away, cupped his hands and said to Emperor Qianwu, "May I ask Your Majesty, where did you buy this tea?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone stared at Emperor Qianwu with piercing eyes, and they also wanted to buy this kind of tea.

Emperor Ganwu secretly smiled in his heart, but pretended to be ignorant, and looked at Gao Dali with a calm expression: "Where does this tea come from?"

Gao Dali also pretended not to know, bowed and said: "This is purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this old slave is not too clear about the details."

Emperor Qianwu nodded, and looked at Feng Quji: "I will tell all the love ministers tomorrow after asking the House of Internal Affairs."

Feng Quji had a look of pity, but he still nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the tea had whetted the appetite of the courtiers, Emperor Ganwu stopped wasting time and continued to organize everyone to discuss business matters.

After the court meeting was over, Gao Dali changed into casual clothes, dressed up in disguise, and slipped out of the palace quietly.
