Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 51 The stunningly beautiful emperor sweats and women talk about recipes and Zaifu talks about health preservation (2)
Sitting in the car, Kangxi looked at this snowy city through the glass, and suddenly remembered the difficulties of his ancestors in building the country and the small achievements of today's Chinese civilization in the Central Plains. He was so excited that he lifted the felt curtain and ordered Wudan: " Prepare the horses, I want to meet the waiting ministers on horseback!" Gao Shiqi was standing next to him, and hurriedly climbed up and smiled: "Master, you can't do it, it's too cold, you're in good health, and you can't take the cold!" Kangxi had already got out of the car, As he got on his horse, he said, "Lian doesn't want the lower officials to look like a well-mannered emperor... It was here in the past that the great grandfather issued the edict of the 'Seven Great Hatreds', which took over the Central Plains. Although Lian is not as good as his ancestors, even I don’t even have this ambition? I’m called returning to my hometown with honor—I didn’t hear the Overlord say that if you don’t return to your hometown when you are rich, it’s like walking at night in brocade clothes?”

Wei Dongting listened with a smile, and hurriedly ordered the guards to fetch a mink fur jacket with bright yellow Tuanlong Zhongmao, stepped forward to put it on for Kangxi, and said: "If Mr. Wu is here, what the master said must be rejected. Get it immediately." The world cannot be ruled immediately, and the emperor may not be good immediately. Besides, the master came back to honor the ancestors and dispatch the military, not to go out at night with candles and enjoy himself in time! According to the slave's knowledge, he still sits in the car with only the front door open Felt curtains. Ministers and official sedan chairs are all unused, and it’s not appropriate to accompany the attendants around, and Xiu Gege’s sedan chair follows far away?" Kangxi had to smile and got on the sedan chair again, and said: "Wei Dongting speaks well - let me save my face Don’t you know that Fan Zeng once scolded Xiang Yu as ‘be crowned with monkeys’?” Wu Dan and others rushed to drive the car, and saw the official driving outside Fengtian West Gate. Standing for a piece.

General Bahai of Fengtian received the order from the previous station, and he had already set up the reed shed three days earlier. The prince left Guo Yinglai and waited for more than two hours in the ice and snow.The officials exhaled whitely, and stomped their feet in the cold.Looking forward to it, he saw the yellow umbrella feather cover fluttering towards him from a distance, Bahai hurriedly said: "Fire the cannon and play music, and the civil and military officials kneel to receive it!" More than [-] civil servants and military generals of the fourth rank or above knelt down and kowtowed on the mountain: "Long live my emperor, long live!" Ba Hai flicked his horseshoe sleeves, knelt forward and said: "Slave Ba Hai leads the civil and military affairs of the whole city!" Greetings to Long Live! Greetings to Long Live!"

Kangxi got out of the car with the help of Suo'etu and Mingzhuxu, stomped his feet lightly, glanced at everyone, and said after a long time: "I'm safe! Please, everyone, I'm going home, don't be so polite .Decree that each department in Shengjing will continue to handle business as usual, don't just come here to worship me—why don't you see Zhou Peigong, are you here?"

"Back to Long Live!" Bahai hurriedly said, "Zhou Peigong has suffered from an unknown fever since last year, and has been bedridden up to now. Long Live God is blessed to be in heaven, and the slaves never knew about him."

Kangxi nodded silently when he heard this. A gust of cold wind hit him, and he felt a little forgetful, so he smiled and said, "It's so cold, it's hard to welcome you. I have all the offerings here, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhou Peigong was his tacitly appointed chief general of the Western Expedition, and Kangxi was a little disappointed when he fell ill and couldn't pick him up.Immediately, he drove into the city and rested in the Palace of Qinzheng, the Imperial Palace of Taizu.Such as staying in Guanfang, personally comforting the old relatives of the heroes outside the Guan, meeting the Mongolian princes, old gentry, and the list and time of meritorious officials who have been recuperating from illness. You Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Gao Shiqi, etc. have made proper arrangements without mentioning it.

After offering sacrifices to Zhaoling the next day, it was already the end of Shen's time to return to the palace.The broken snow in the sky swirls and grows.Kangxi hastily had dinner in the Hall of Qinzheng, and sent in cheese and steamed lamb to reward Axiu, and gave the rest to the courtiers and guards.The ground dragon and the fire wall in the Qinzheng Hall were blazing with charcoal fire, and it was freezing outside, and everyone in the hall was so hot that their bodies felt dry.Kangxi half-lyed on the big Yin pillow, smiled and watched the Wudan gang gobble up, seeing that Gao Shiqi only ate two pieces of pastry, picked a few pieces of tofu from the hot pot and ate them, he stopped and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is the food outside the customs unpalatable?"

"Slave, weak and weak scholar, how can he compare with tiger ministers and Wudan tigers and wolves?" Gao Shiqi laughed hurriedly, "Slave cherishes blessings and loves body, and is particular about food intake. It is always cooked, hot, soft, plain, and less——The two Jin Dynasties The gentry's talk is harmful to the country, and only eating the five-character formula is in line with the way of health preservation."

"Oh?" Kangxi said with a smile, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Gao Shiqi smiled and said: "Everything can't be used for living. Since Suiren's time, people have understood: Stomach qi is afraid of cold, and cold things are not easy to subdue. It is necessary to use the body's own heat to warm it. Wouldn't it be harmless? People say that it is quick to eat delicious food from mountains and seas. The mouth is smooth. According to the humble opinion of the slaves, it is true that the mouth is fast, but the stomach is not necessarily. The ancients lived by hunting, how could they eat less meat? Then why did Shennong eat herbs and raise five grains? Those who eat grains live, and those who eat meat Despicable, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng only eats vegetables with meat, this is a vegetarian dish, the beauty of which is difficult for rich and noble people to know!"

"Mr. Gao's words are not spared by a slave!" Wu Dan dripped half a piece of Jinhua ham, and said while chewing, "Drink his mother with a big bowl of wine, and eat his mother with a big piece of meat, so that he can give his strength to the master. Work hard!" A word made everyone laugh out loud.Wei Dongting said: "The ancients also said 'let go of your stomach to eat, and stand on your heels', why do you persuade people to eat less?" Gao Shiqi smiled and said: "Eat less to calm the stomach. When the stomach is prosperous, the spleen will be smooth, and the spleen will be smooth when the liver is smooth. Gan Shu makes the mind clear and the mind clear. Hu Chen does not understand the internal meridian, and does not know the essentials of the golden chamber. How can he explain the profound principles in one word?"

Seeing that everyone was full, Kangxi leaned over and sat up smiling, "Stop talking about Gao Shiqi, and accompany me out of the palace for a walk, and when I come back, I will draw up an imperial edict that you just wrote for me to see."

Everyone was listening to Gao Shiqi's discussion, and he had the right to eat and eat, but they didn't expect Kangxi to use these words to come up with a plan, and they were stunned for a while.

Gao Shiqi saw that Kangxi didn't seem to be joking, so he hurriedly got up and said: "Could it be that the emperor... wants to order the world to eat less to keep healthy? It's impossible!"

"You underestimate me too!" Kangxi laughed loudly. "When Emperor Hui of Jin died of starvation, he asked 'why not eat minced meat'? Although it is a little better now, I also know that the common people rarely eat porridge and sweet potatoes. Instead, persuade them to 'cook hot, soft and less'? It's a joke through the ages - this edict is given to the meritorious officials who were raised by Fengtian. They made great contributions when they entered the customs, and now they return to their hometowns when they are old , I have plenty of money, but I only know how to eat and drink, and I don’t know how to maintain my health. In the past few years, too many people have died of illness, and I’m afraid it’s related to this? Teach them a little bit of medical skills and prolong their lives. You can consult the country if you have any problems Wouldn't that be great?" Then he ordered, "It's very cold outside, bring me my mink coat!" Li Dequan hurriedly agreed, and went in and took out a mink coat with a blue and red silk surface to replace Kangxi. on.When it was time to wear a mink fur cloak, Kangxi waved his hand to signal no need, and put on a pair of blue satin felted soap boots, and Li Dequan tied the belt, and turned his face and said: "Let's go!"

"Master, it's going to be dark sooner or later, the boss is snowing, and the wind is blowing..." Wei Dongting put on his sword, bowed cautiously and said with a smile, "It's just something that can't be done tomorrow?" Kangxi paused , Said: "I will meet the Mongolian prince tomorrow. I have ordered people to pass the decree. I have arranged all the wooden maps in Heilongjiang and Yaksa, and I have to discuss military affairs with Bahai. It may not be done in a day! This big boss I have nothing to do here at night, so I’m so anxious! Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet an acquaintance.” Wei Dongting knew that persuasion would be useless, and said with a smile, “Where is the acquaintance here, my slave? Where is the master going? That's it."

After leaving Qinzheng Hall, I realized that it was already dark outside.The empty palace courtyard is already a world of glass and jade, and the heavy snow keeps fluttering and fluttering.Ba Hai worked in the guard and waited in the court room outside the palace gate. He was bored when he saw Kangxi's palanquin coming out, so he knocked on the carriage and asked, "It's so late, the road is snowy and slippery outside, is the emperor still going out of the palace? Kangxi lifted the felt curtain, leaned out and smiled and said, "I don't need you to serve here. Is King Horqin here?"

"Long live back!" Ba Hai spoke like a bell, with a metallic trill, "King Horqin is at the post house. Long live, do you want him to accompany you?"

"No need." Kangxi mused, "You go to pass the decree, I want to see him tonight, and tell him to wait in the Qinzheng Hall—and find another small school to take the couplet to Zhou Peigong's yamen, and you go back to the mansion and prepare for the exam tomorrow." Take your military affairs seriously, and deal with them carefully!" After saying that, he put down the curtain and ordered the car to drive forward.Bahai repeatedly agreed, and hurriedly sent people to lead the way, and ordered martial law in the city. He took the general's personal soldiers with him in the car to protect him, and went to the post house to deliver the order.
