Chapter 252 Eating Ruyi Beans at the Chongyang Banquet(1/2)
After the eunuch left, the expression on Mr. Chang's face instantly frozen, and he became depressed.
After a while, Mr. Chang shook his head helplessly and began to call in and ask for errands.
After listening to the instructions of Mr. Chang, his subordinates also looked ugly, but they did not dare to refute.
Although someone asked about the reason, Mr. Chang didn't dare to say anything to them.
He only said one thing, "Either do it or die."
So, they spread the news again.
Mr. Chang is a very famous person in the news circle in Beijing. Whether it is a frequent official or a businessman, many people are willing to make friends with Mr. Chang because he can provide some information that others don’t know. These news depends on the fate of the eyes, sometimes they are given, and sometimes they are sold.
This is very important for many officials and for many businessmen. For example, when they want to know a person’s identity and family background, they will buy news from Mr. Chang.
Under such circumstances, Chang Sanye’s business is naturally very good, and many officials also deal with him, obtain information from him or sell the news to him.
For Mr. Chang, distributing news is not too difficult. However, only Mr. Chang himself knows that a lot of the news was not brought by him, and he did not want to do this business. But sometimes he is in the world and cannot help himself.
The news about King Fu has not caused much debate among the people. After all, this is not what everyone is paying attention to, and the people don’t like these things very much.
However, this incident caused a great response in the Shilin and officialdom.
For a moment, there were some people who were glad, and they felt that they had found a way out. After the court's secret memorial system, many people were in panic, but they seemed to have found a way out and could use the secret memorial system to impeach the royal relatives in the future. This would not seem to be unworking at all.
Some people are afraid and think that the secret memorial system has been really pushed out and it will be difficult for everyone to do in the future.
Of course, some people are preparing to take advantage of the troubled waters, while others are preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.
Anyway, everyone has different ideas and different positions, so what they do is different.
Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to this, because everything was not very important. After everything was on the right track, all the problems now were not a problem.
Sitting next to the pavilion, Zhu Youxiao looked through the question book he sent and threw it on the table in disappointment.
These questions were not beyond Zhu Youxiao's expectations, and even the rhetoric was exactly the same as he thought. These people really did not disappoint themselves. They were not creative at all. The general content was to attack King Fu, hoping that the court could severely punish King Fu, but they would occasionally put secret memorial system on it.
They are connecting the affairs of King Fu and the secret memorial system. To put it bluntly, they are binding two things on one thing and want to turn two things into one thing.
If the court does not severely punish the King of Fu, then the secret memorial system is a joke.
These people are forcing the emperor!
After looking at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked expressionlessly: "Have your person moved?"
"Go back to the emperor, you have already started moving." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao frowned, thought for a while and said, "No, the movement is too small, and you are procrastinating now. Let them use some force to let everyone know that they are going to make trouble."
"Yes, Emperor, I understand." Chen Hong felt a little sad when he saw that Emperor was not very satisfied and quickly agreed.
He secretly scolded those who were doing things in his heart, and that they could not handle this. It seemed that these people were lazy and they must deal with them after they went back.
After explaining this matter, Zhu Youxiao no longer paid attention to it.
The reason is very simple. I have other things to do. This is a big banquet in the palace, which will invite all civil and military officials. In the harem, Empress Zhang also invited the wives of those officials to have dinner to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival and her birthday.
In fact, the ministers were still very confused. After all, there would be rewards on Double Ninth Festival, but there was no need to hold such a large-scale banquet; and the Queen's Order of the Dan Festival was far less so grand.
Many people are asking what's going on, after all, this is not unusual.
Then there was a rumor from somewhere that His Majesty wanted to give everyone something fresh.
This kind of fresh thing was grown in the imperial village. It is said that the yield per mu can reach 2,000 kilograms. The yield is not only very high, but also has a very good taste. Whether it is cooking or cooking, it is a very good product.
The key is that this thing is of high quality and tastes good. It is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin. It is to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang for men. Whether it is a man or a woman who eats it, it is particularly good for the body.
It is said that the news came from the Imperial Hospital. It was originally just a small road circulation, but for some reason it became more and more powerful. In the end, it was known to all the civil and military officials of the court.
Many people have begun to inquire about the news, and their targets are mainly focused on several people who can disclose the news.
For example, Xu Guangqi, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, is said to be the leader of this thing, and the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the trial planting. The location is in the imperial village, so Xu Guangqi must be an insider, so everyone started to ask him.
In addition to Xu Guangqi, Zhang Guoji was also frequently asked, including businessmen and officials. Because everyone thought he was the queen's father, he must be an insider.
There were countless people looking for them for a moment, and everyone was waiting for the exact news. However, it did not disappoint everyone. Just when everyone was waiting for anxiety, the exact news came out.
There is indeed such a thing. His Majesty’s name Ruyi Beans can indeed reach a yield of 2,000 kilograms per mu, and there are many benefits to eating. At the same time, this banquet is indeed because His Majesty wants everyone to eat these things.
Of course there are more specific news, such as it is soft and glutinous, suitable for older people to eat; it is rich in nutritional value, nourishes yin and kidney, strengthens yang and nourishes qi; it is a rare authentic product, an absolutely good thing, and can be used to make all kinds of things.
Under such circumstances, everyone was excited. Regardless of whether Ruyi beans really have such an effect, the yield is very good.
As for suspicion, no one doubted it, because the news came from the cabinet's chief minister, Han, said that the cabinet's chief minister, Han, personally asked the cabinet's second assistant Xu Guangqi, and thus obtained an accurate news.
For a moment, the capital was shocked.
Those who are qualified and qualified to enter the palace have been running into the palace day and night these days, while inquiring about the news, they want to get some benefits first, and it is best to let His Majesty reward him with thousands of pounds. As a result, these people were all disappointed.
The disappearance was confirmed and it was true. Because Zhang Guoji sent a message, it was true. Queen Zhang did give her father some potatoes, but it was only ten kilograms, which was not enough to give, but it was enough for the people in the Zhang family to eat.
According to news from people from the Zhang family, these Ruyi beans are delicious and tastes very fragrant.
For a moment, everyone in the capital was talking about this thing called Ruyi Dou, but no more news came.
Under such circumstances, the palace banquet became a highly anticipated existence.
After several days of prosperity, the Double Ninth Festival and the palace banquet was finally held as scheduled in Fengtian Palace.
All civil and military officials entered the court one by one, performed rituals and music according to etiquette, and were promoted to the class and took their seats.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao walked out slowly from behind with Jiaofangsi's "The Song of the Flame Essence".
Many officials feel a sense of isolation when they see Zhu Youxiao.
I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time, but it seems that His Majesty has become stronger and has grown a lot taller.
Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne, waiting for him to be worshipped by everyone.
After the worship was completed, he gently raised his hand and said, "You are all dear, please do not give me a gift."
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued, "Your dear friends, please take your seat."
After everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I gave the name Ruyi Beans from heaven. It coincides with the Double Ninth Festival and the Queen's birthday. I hold a big banquet to share Ruyi Beans with you all."
Zhu Youxiao tried to resist any strange actions. The reason was very simple. This way, it really made him feel very strange when describing potatoes.
I guess it's a few years later that potatoes are everywhere. When I think of this scene today, it makes people laugh a little.
However, in order to promote potatoes as soon as possible and increase their value, there is no other good way.
Moreover, after selling this large number of potatoes, you can still make a sum of money. In the face of such benefits, nothing else matters.
With his eyes swept over everyone, Zhu Youxiao said: "The banquet begins."
As Zhu Youxiao said that, the outside world began to act.
Of course, I will definitely not eat whole potatoes today. What should I put on a normal dish? The so-called rare things are expensive. Today, let them eat less potatoes, taste them, and then think about it when they go back, and they will buy it. They buy it back to make seeds, or eat it directly.
All these are money, Zhu Youxiao thought so in his mind.
Serve the table with two plates of wine, two plates of cake, one plate of snacks, four colors of dishes, one bowl of soup, and three cups of wine.
On the middle table, two plates of wine, one plate of snacks, two plates of cake, four colors of dishes, two bowls of soup, and six cups of wine.
There are small red beans, persimmons, oranges, crabs, and breams.
After almost all the dishes were served, Zhu Youxiao also picked up a few cups, and the potatoes that everyone had been looking forward to finally came.
The first dish is Ruyi Bean Roasted Lamb.
This is a dish carefully cooked by the imperial chef, served in transparent snow-white porcelain bowls.
The eunuchs carefully picked up the porcelain bowl and placed a bowl of potato-roasted mutton in front of each minister.
The bowl is not very big, there are only four or five pieces of lamb, four or five pieces of potatoes, a little soup, and there is nothing else.
After all the bowls were arranged, Zhu Youxiao said, "Ruyi bean roasted mutton. Please give me a try."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of potato and put it in his mouth.
The ministers did not dare to neglect them, and at the same time they had been waiting for it for a long time, so they picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of potato and put it in their mouths.
The name of this dish is rustic, but it is unexpectedly delicious.
The mutton juice is filled with Ruyi bean cubes, soft, glutinous and sweet, how can it be so delicious?
Some elderly ministers still had some soup at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes lit up when they looked at the bowl.
It's really a good thing, even without teeth, you can eat it.
Good stuff, good stuff!
At the same time, the eating speed was accelerated, and the stewed mutton became their enjoyment.
Soon, a small bowl was eaten, and everyone was still unsatisfied and wanted to call someone for another bowl.
But this is Your Majesty’s feast, not a place where you can order food.
Seeing these people still looking at the unsatisfactory appearance, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.
Soon the second dish was served, Rushi noodles.
The flour made from potatoes and dipped in various seasonings can be said to be very refreshing and tastes fragrant, soft and smooth. The soup is also made of beef soup. If it is hot, this dish is beef powder.
