The struggle of the reborn prince

The wine is the best lamb wine, Jianxi is hot, pour it for Huang Jingchen, "There are no outsiders here, everyone sit down and eat together!" Zhao Tang looked at the three Jianxi who were standing by and waited.

"Yes!" Jianxi agreed to sit down, but Fengxi and Shunzi didn't dare to sit down and looked at Huang Jingchen.

"My lord told you to sit down, just sit down!" Huang Jingchen raised his eyelids and put down his chopsticks and said, the two of them, Fengxi, sat down next to him, and they only dared to sit cautiously for a while.

"Jianxi, pour me some too. Uncle Huang is too boring to drink alone. I'll accompany him to drink, and you also pour some wine. Let's drink together and have fun!" Zhao Tian ordered with a smile.

"My lord, you are still young, you should drink less!" Huang Jingchen thanked him with his hands and said with concern.

"Uncle Huang, try the cucumbers you just picked this morning, how does it taste?" said Zhao Tong pushing the plate.

"It's like a dream to be able to eat this freshly picked cucumber in this cold winter months!" Huang Jingchen took a bite of a cucumber, it was cool and refreshing, he chewed slowly, and said with emotion.

"Hehe, Uncle Huang loves to eat. We have plenty in the greenhouse. Even the whole house is enough to eat!" Zhao Tuo looked into Huang Jingchen's eyes and said with a smile, "You guys can also eat when you are happy, don't be restrained!" The chopsticks reached for the fish that still opened its mouth. "Uncle Huang, try this eggplant again. I also cooked this dish!" Zhao Tang took another piece of eggplant for Huang Jingchen. This braised eggplant was his favorite. When he was a soldier, he could eat rice for two servings. big bowl.

"Well, it tastes good, isn't it the same as the way in the palace?" Huang Jingchen has eaten all the delicacies in the palace for many years, but he has never eaten eggplant made in this way.

"Senior officer, the cooking skills of the lord are even inferior to the two cooks in the small kitchen, and they all want to learn from the lord!" Jian Xi said.

"My lord, the sage said, 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen', so you should go to the kitchen less often, and you can order your servants to cook what you want to eat!" Huang Jingchen said as he put down his chopsticks.

"Hee hee, Uncle Huang, this saint can only say that he is a hypocrite if he says this. He is not hungry. If he is not given food for three days, you can see if he can get into the kitchen. I am afraid he will have to crawl." go in!"

"Haha..." Everyone at the table was amused by him, and the dull atmosphere just now was broken. The three little guys took the opportunity to taste every dish, with satisfied expressions on their faces.

"Come on, let's toast Uncle Huang together. He works the hardest for the affairs of the mansion every day, and we want to thank him!" Zhao Tang proposed, holding up the cup. "My lord, how dare I do this!" Huang Jingchen stood up in fear and said, he still knew himself.

"Uncle Huang, I'm young, and I rely on you to run the house on weekdays, so I respect you as a matter of course!" Zhao Tun pulled Huang Jingchen to sit down and said, he drank the wine in the glass first, and he smacked his lips, savoring the legendary The best wine in the Song Dynasty is not so delicious now, it is bland and tasteless, probably the degree of "low-alcohol beer", which does not suit the taste of a "modern person" like him.

Tasting the strength of the wine, Zhao Tun had a good idea, held half a glass of wine and exchanged glasses with everyone. Xiao Huangmen brought gourd soup again.

"It's a good thing. You can only eat it when you get Chu Xia in previous years!" Huang Jingchen took a sip of the soup and said with a satisfied smile.

"Uncle Huang, I want to wait for the next batch of vegetables to be harvested and send them to the palace for my father and ladies to taste. How good do you think!" Zhao Tang poured wine for Huang Jingchen and said.

"My lord, absolutely not, if you pay tribute, I'm afraid there will never be a safe life in our mansion!"

"Uncle Huang, why is this?" Zhao Tang asked in bewilderment.

"Hehe, my lord, you don't know much about those people in the capital. Not to mention the nobles in the palace, even the people from the prince's mansion and the prime minister's mansion will come to your door!" !"

"My lord, you are still young and don't know the methods of those people. Although they dare not offend you openly, they can't stop them from playing tricks behind their backs. You forgot the words your mother gave you!" Huang Jingchen stroked his smooth chin. Said.

"Stupid and blunt!" Zhao Tun nodded, "Uncle Huang, I've been educated. Your Majesty taught me to keep a low profile!"

"The word low-key is appropriate for the lord. This time, the lord has done a good job in dealing with Chen Tang. He has suffered a loss and lost his fortune. He has also made him grateful, and he can't tell the pain!" Huang Jingchen said.

"Oh, Chen Tang doesn't know how to make public. At this time, I'm afraid that the father will find out and say that I'm messing around!"

"Haha, my lord, I'm afraid Chen Tang won't be able to hide this matter. When he goes back, he will definitely order those who know about it to be silent, and he will never reveal a word. Don't worry, my lord!" Huang Jingchen thought what the lord said was interesting. , said with a big laugh.

"Hmph, if he dares to say a word of nonsense, we can make him roll up and get out tomorrow. He is disrespectful to the prince this time, so he should be taught a lesson!" in the eyes.

"Shunzi, you've drunk too much, don't talk nonsense!" Huang Jingchen scolded with a glare, Shunzi was so frightened that he lowered his head and dared not speak. "Uncle Huang, do you think I'm too bad when you say I punish Chen Tang?" Zhao Tang looked at Shunzi and asked.

"Hehe, how could the lord think this way? What Chen Tang committed can be said to have copied his family and wiped out his family, or said that it can have him dismissed from office, and he will never be able to recover. The lord only let him lose a little money. Even if others know about it, they will say that you are generous and benevolent!" Huang Jingchen shook his head and said with a smile when he heard the prince's childish words.

"It's better to have an emperor's father. No one can beat me. Although I have taken a chance, it is not much different from Ming Qiang. Everyone has to say that he has a good voice, but he can't afford to offend his father! "Zhao Tun thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that, "Really, I still think it's too much!"

"The lord should kill him to avoid future troubles. He escaped this time, so he will inevitably have some disobedience!" Shunzi seemed to be drinking too much, and said after drinking a glass of wine.

"Shunzi, what you said is wrong!" Zhao Tun tapped the fish on the plate with his chopsticks and said, "I said, 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish', do you understand what that means?" He pointed again hi they asked.

"That means governing the country is like cooking?" Shunzi guessed literally, Zhao Tong shook his head and said nothing, looking at Fengxi. "Didn't you say that governing the country is as easy as cooking?" Fengxi thought for a while and said, seeing that Xi secretly curled his lips and remained silent. He knew that the prince must have a deeper meaning when asking this question, and he definitely couldn't figure it out. It's even more unreliable.

"My lord, tell me!" Huang Jingchen was taken aback for a moment, why did the lord say such a thing, does this child have any thoughts.

"This sentence comes from a story. In the last years of the Xia Dynasty, Yi Yin suggested that Shang Tang stop paying tribute to Xia Jie and watch Xia Jie's actions in order to test Xia Jie's strength. Xia Jie was really very angry. Come to attack Shang. Yi Yin immediately persuaded Shang Tang: Xia Jie can still mobilize troops, and the time for us to attack him is not yet ripe. So Shang Tang paid tribute to Xia Jie again. When Yi Yin saw that the time was right, he stopped again. He paid tribute to Xia Jie, but because of Xia Jie's atrocities, this time, he failed to mobilize the army, so Yi Yin suggested to Shang Tang to raise troops. Shang Tang quickly defeated Xia Jie's army and exiled Xia Jie to the South Nest, the Xia Dynasty perished from then on, and the princes supported the virtuous Shang Tang to establish the Shang Dynasty for the emperor, and the sage Laozi realized the way of governing the country based on this allusion." Zhao Tong took a sip of his wine and said, "From now on, the understanding of this statement is that the beholder sees the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. My understanding is: cooking is like cooking. You must master the heat. The fire should be big when it is big, and when it should be small, it should be small. The combination of civil and martial arts can taste good! "My lord, what does your reasoning have to do with this matter?" Shunzi scratched his head and asked.

"Oh, Shunzi, you need to read more books!" Huang Jingchen said with a sigh. At this time, he had already seen that the prince was by no means as simple as an ordinary child. The words he said were very meaningful, "Shunzi, you Think about who Chen Tang belongs to?"

"Chen Tang was born as a servant of Cai Jing and Prime Minister Cai. He was used to deceiving others and won his trust. After Cai Jing was dismissed, he still wanted to be as filial as before. After he was reinstated, he was immediately promoted to the prefect of Gongzhou. Level, but there is no need for us to be afraid of them!" Shunzi seemed to understand these things very well, and replied immediately after a little thought.

"Well, that's right. After Cai Jing recovered with the power of the noble concubine, he immediately crowded out dissidents and vigorously promoted his cronies. Even the cats and dogs in their hometown have a family background, and now they are all over the central state capital. , It’s already too late!” Huang Jingchen said, “As the saying goes, it’s up to the owner to beat a dog. Chen Tang is Cai Jing’s disciple. If the prince kills him, he will definitely offend Cai Jing. Although he can’t do anything to us, it will inevitably cause dirty , alienate us, that way some people will take advantage of them and hold their elbows everywhere. Now the lord is just teaching him a lesson. Not only will Chen Tang be more honest, but Cai Jing is also a smart person. He will not fail to understand the truth and will only befriend us. , Is the old slave right!" "Hehe, Uncle Huang, I didn't think too much about it, I just thought we bullied the magistrate, and Chen Tang is still an official, no one dares to bully me again in the future!" Zhao Tuo is still there Pretending to be confused' said with a smile.

"I drank a little too much today. Jianxi, you go and order the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup. Shunzi Fengxi, you come to my room and make me a cup of tea with 'Xiaolong Tuan'!" Huang Jingchen pinched his forehead with his fingers and ordered , the three of them all went out with a promise, only Zhao Tong and him were left in the room...
