Chapter 289: Accompany Your Majesty for a meal
"Your Majesty, it''s time to have lunch."
Reminder of the **** accompanying him.
Emperor Mingcheng paused slightly, looked back at the eunuch, "It''s noon again before you knew it, so go and invite Qin Qi''an to come and have a meal with me."
"Sister will do it now."
The **** bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around and left.
The ministers in the court were fighting for red faces.
When they saw the **** in front of the imperial court coming to invite Qin Chi to accompany Emperor Ming Cheng for dinner, they were so quiet that they could not bear it.
Qin Chi followed the **** and left.
He didn''t look back, but he clearly felt the sword light on his back.
The **** in front of the imperial court came to a hall with carved beams and painted buildings.
Cigarettes were curling in the hall, and the palace maids wore uniform clothes, laying placemats and porcelain plates lightly.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty."
Qin Chi stepped forward and bowed.
Emperor Ming Cheng wore a dragon robe, with a bit of leisure in his majesty.
He gestured to Qin Chi to sit with his eyes.
The emperor''s chopsticks are made of precious ivory, delicate and smooth, the bowl is white jade, and the porcelain plate is blue and white, which is elegant and exquisite. The meal is rich, with the stewed soft wild ginseng chicken soup, the tender East China Sea yellow croaker, and the crispy palace roast duck. Each dish seems to contain full sincerity and appreciation for the ministers.
This is not the first time Qin Chi has accompanied Emperor Cheng of Ming to use imperial meals.
When he was studying in the Imperial College, Emperor Cheng of Ming heard people mention him and summoned him once.
That time he chatted with Emperor Chengming and played chess.
After that, I used lunch once.
The dishes at that time were not as rich as that.
The palace maids whispered softly and poured plum wine for the two of them.
The wine rippled slightly in the crystal cup, emitting an attractive fruity aroma.
Emperor Mingcheng raised his glass, with a satisfied smile on his face and said to Qin Chi, "Aiqing Qin, this is what I specially prepared for you, I hope you are not polite."
Qin Chi saluted respectfully, held up the wine glass with both hands, and showed gratitude and respect on his face at the right time, and replied softly: "I, thank Your Majesty for your grace."
Said this on your lips.
Qin Chi was thinking in his heart, is this considered a sweet date? He always had a feeling that Emperor Ming Cheng threw him to the Ministry of Works for the current situation.
Er Ming Cheng Emperor could also be called the wise ruler.
There are ridiculous things, but achievements are not without them.
As I grow older, my temper becomes bigger and more unpredictable, and I act as I like.
For example, the previous ridiculous thing was that Yuan Shangshu should have committed the crime of raiding his home and beheading his head, and he was dealt with just by sending his granddaughter into the palace. The last time I was to embezzle the treasury to build a temple. The **** worshipped is the golden body of Emperor Mingcheng himself.
It is a waste of money and I don’t know what it means.
All of this is because he dreamed of becoming an immortal.
Li Huarong opposed this matter and was dismissed from his official position by Emperor Cheng of Ming.
The next thing is that he is still in the age of talent show, and he incorporates all the outstanding ladies in the capital into the harem, resulting in the married man who was not able to find a wife who was a match and satisfied with him for a while, and secretly complained.
The harem is not only three thousand beauties.
There is also a palace among which several Taoist priests are enshrined.
What the Taoist priests do in the palace? It was not passed to the front of the palace. The spies vaguely guessed one or two. However, no one dared to promote such emperor secrets outside. Today''s such a matter of forcibly seizing ministers and forcing them to settle their accounts is really not a big deal. During meals.
The two were eating together silently.
There is a kind of tacit understanding and harmony in the air.
Occasionally, the slight footsteps of the palace maids and the melodious musical instruments in the distance.
After the meal, Emperor Mingcheng put down his chopsticks contentedly and said to Qin Chi with a smile: "Qin Aiqing, are you still satisfied with today''s meal?"
Qin Chi quickly got up and saluted, "Your Majesty loves you, I am very satisfied with the food."
"Okay, go back."
Emperor Cheng of Ming spoke, and Qin Chi bowed and said he retreated again.
After a meal, you can count all the words you said in one hand. Even so, it is a great gift for the ministers.
After this happens.
Qin Chi went back to the hall again.
A group of ministers sitting together, still discussing, their eyes were red.
However, if you want to take off Qin Chi''s eyes, you dare not be so obvious. This is someone that Emperor Ming Cheng values.
"Qin Qi''an, do you have a solution?"
asked a man with gray hair and still bright eyes.
Qin Chi looked up and saw that it was the Minister of War and the Minister of the Cabinet Liao Yong asked himself.
He hurriedly bowed to Liao Yong, "Who is present has no more experience than the officials. I can just stand by and study, but I will never dare to show off my skills in front of you."
"What if you say it, what''s the whole bunch of nonsense?"
The Minister of War is also a military general and speaks more directly.
Qin Chi saw that everyone else was looking at him, as if he was waiting for him to speak. He spoke slowly as if he was driven to the shelves: "The official of the specific charter cannot be taken out. However, he might make a suggestion."
"When the officials counted the inventory of Yuhengsi, they saw some old things that were piled up, but they were not impossible to use them again. For example, old cotton clothes can be taken apart, cleaned, dried and bounced again, and they can still be used. Although they are not of new quality, they can still be used, right? As for those abandoned farm tools, they cannot be wasted, they can..."
Qin Chi had an advantage over these ministers, that is, he was born in the countryside, was used to the sufferings of the people, and knew that some old things accumulated in stock were all good things for poor families. Therefore, a pile of abandoned debris has a place to go with Qin Chi''s suggestion, which can be exchanged for some silver and reduce losses. As for the inevitable loss of money, we can only find another way to fill it.
Among the many ministers, they have not come from poor families, but they have long forgotten the sufferings of the people for decades, let alone remembering the daily needs of the people.
Someone recorded the suggestions and then followed the discussions of everyone and kept them with the best choice. Before the sun set, I finally figured out a memorial that I could make.
After discussing with Qin Chi for a day, the ministers'' anger towards him was inexplicably reduced by half. In addition, I was hungry all day and had no time to pay attention to Qin Chi, so I hurried out of the palace and returned home.
The only person who walked leisurely was probably Qin Chi who had lunch.
"Isn''t you anxious, Lord Qin?"
A man''s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Qin Chi looked back and saw that it was the commander of the Jinyiwei. "My commander, I don''t know if it was you here, so I''m rude."
"I am abrupt. I will come to see you back home on your order."
The commander of the Jinyiwei was embroidered with a spring sword on his waist, and when he walked, he was like a **** of killing. When they see it, both officials and the people are retreating.
Qin Chi really wanted to ask.
What does Your Majesty mean?
Soon he realized it again.
Emperor Ming Cheng understood his situation and was worried that he would be assassinated when he left the palace. He found out with conscience and asked the Jinyiwei to send him home. Today he is really too hateful.
Just one memorial offended more than half of the court officials.
It''s quite capable when you think about it.
