Chapter 414: Smart is wronged by cleverness

People have various identities in the world. Even if Zhang is the queen of the mother, she is still a wife and mother.

So she is now holding a spoon, putting seasonings into the casserole, and stewing a pot of yam ribs, like a family of good friends.

Before Zhang got married, he would skillfully do various housework, which was because his parents' family was not very rich and could not afford to support too many people.

Zhang doesn’t know how to cook exquisite dishes, he only knows some home-cooked dishes, but it’s totally enough.

What kind of delicacies of the royal nobles have never eaten?

It doesn’t matter what dish she cooks, but having that kind of heart is the most important thing, not to mention that the home-cooked dishes she cooks are also quite delicious.

Back then, Zhang was the crown prince's concubine in the Yàn palace and the crown prince's concubine in the palace.

It is precisely because of her ordinary cooking skills that she has won Emperor Taizong so much favor and allowed Emperor Taizong to enjoy the warmth and warmth of the family many times!

At that time, the dining room was filled with a little bit of fireworks. Zhang, as his daughter-in-law, was busy cooking, Zhanji was making noises one by one, and Emperor Taizong talked with his son a few more earnest words.

Every time in such a situation, Zhang could observe the rare tranquility from Taizong's face... The emperor who was used to sword lights and swords and intrigues, occasionally became obsessed with the faint affection of his family.

Emperor Taizong in his heart kept a family affection for his eldest son and grandson from beginning to end, and Zhang made an indelible contribution.

I hope the Lord can still remember these things today.

Sometimes Zhang even wonders why the family, country, the world is the king, minister, father and son, is using these pure feelings to bind people's hearts.

But under the imperial power that is the only one, how many things are not defiled?

Zhang scooped a little soup into a golden white porcelain bowl in Jingdezhen. He took a sip of the soup with a vermilion mouth, aftertaste for a moment, nodded and said: Wait a little longer, add yam when the ribs are cooked.

Haitao, look at the fire.After the others went out, they went to the imperial kitchen to tell the eunuchs there that the emperor had lunch in Kunning Palace and asked them to send a few people over.Zhang said in a very casual tone.

It was like saying a few words in a quiet and boring morning.

The servants said: Yes.

Haitao indeed stared at the firewood with great care. Zhang looked at him and walked to the stove to use a spoon to scoop the floating objects on the soup.

The ribs are clearly washed, but this dirty foam will appear once you cook them with water.

The Lord is the Emperor, you should not be clever in front of the Lord.Smartness is wrong.Zhang said softly.

Haitao was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Empress, the emperor first said he would go to Concubine Zhang's place."I was thinking, but the Empress didn't know in advance, for fear that you would take the initiative to invite the Emperor to Kunning Palace and lose face in front of those young people.I was nervously reminded you.I know I am wrong, but I am loyal!

snort.Zhang made a gentle voice and stopped talking about it.

Haitao bent down and stood nervously for a while, and then suddenly said in a low voice: By the way, this morning, Gao Xianning, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, gave a memorial, as if it was to make His Highness the eldest prince the crown prince.The emperor is so angry...

Zhang's brow frowned immediately.After waiting for a while, she said: Geng Tong, the official who secretly sued Guo Ming, has anything to do with Gao Xianning?

Haitao said: As far as I know, these two people are completely incompatible.Geng Tong became a censor early in the morning; Gao Xianning was just a local scholar in Shandong and had no foundation in the court. Because he was famous for writing an article "The Remarks of Kings of Zhou Gong's Assistance", the late emperor insisted on bringing him to the court as an official.

Yes!Ji Gang is Gao Xianning's classmate, but he has been uprooted.Gao Xianning escaped being implicated by Ji Gang, and I saw that I was afraid I would be in trouble this time.And Guo Ming, sooner or later, will be dealt with.

Zhang said: Gao Xianning was so angry that he was just because of ignorance, and his heart was still good.We have to try our best to protect him, otherwise everyone will be brave enough to say something in the future.

Haitao bowed and said: What the Empress said is.

Zhang thought for a while and said: Although Geng Tong came forward, the person who sued Guo Ming was not Geng Tong, but the person who wrote the rumor letter.Should the person behind be the one there?

Haitao couldn't answer.

Zhang stopped talking and told Haitao: Look at the fire.Then walked out of the stove.

The high place is cold.

Now Zhang is the queen and the eldest son of the emperor. Among the women in the world, he has reached the pinnacle.

However, whether she has the title of queen depends on whether her status in the palace is stable; whether her son is the eldest son, and whether her mother's position is correct.

Mother and son complement each other.

There are some hidden dangers here. The emperor has never liked Zhanji and thought this and that.

For example, a child who was a few years old could kill a few cats and rabbits, which could be said to be cruel, but the emperor ate big meat every day and never saw him believing in Buddhism.

However, it is not so easy to surface the hidden dangers, it is still waiting far away.

As noon approached, the eunuch of the imperial chef came with a few eunuchs and palace maids. They knelt in the ear room outside the dining room and waited quietly.

First, the ribs and yam soup stewed by the Queen was brought. A eunuch held a stack of small bowls. The eunuch of the Imperial Kitchen used chopsticks to pick up the ribs and yams in a small bowl. He then scooped a little soup into a small bowl and distributed it to the eunuchs and palace maids.

They all ate, and the eunuch of the Imperial Chef waved his hand and signaled them to open their mouths to check.

After waiting for a while, the eunuch of the Imperial Chef waved his hand again, and the palace maid bowed into the dining room with the rib soup.

Then there is the pork belly with a little bit of essence, all of which are fat.The dishes were delivered to the dining room in batches after a step-by-step procedure.

In the antique dining room, Zhang sat aside.Zhu Gaochi, who was directly above, was in a better mood. Whenever he was hungry and had fat in front of him, he could generally feel a little satisfied.

The young palace maid in a moon-white dress knelt on her softly holding a warm and humid white cotton wool bag. Zhu Gaochi stretched out one hand and asked someone to wipe it clean, and then stretched out the other hand.

Then the palace maid turned around and took the warm water and handed it over gently. Zhu Gaochi rinsed it with a sip, and immediately the copper basin was in front of him. He spit it into the basin and immediately picked up the chopsticks.

Zhang smiled gently and picked up a piece of fat back-cooked meat and placed it in a white porcelain bowl in front of Zhu Gaochi.

The piano master sent by the Jiaofangsi played a quiet and soothing song at the right time, and the sound was just right, which would not affect the people at the table, nor would it appear too deserted.

tasty!Zhu Gaochi said, it still tastes familiar.

Zhang said: It’s good that the emperor is not tired of eating.

Zhu Gaochi Haha, he smiled, but his smile soon disappeared.

Zhang glanced at it and asked: Is the state affairs in the dynasty unhappy for these few days?

Nothing else matters, you know that the person who forces me is not Gao Xu!Zhu Gaochi said, Zhang Fu wrote a letter saying that he would surround the southwest first and hang Gao Xu for a while.Our uncle advocated a quick battle and not let Gao Xu control the three southwestern provinces to gain strength.

Zhang asked softly: Have the emperor discussed with the ministers?

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: Everyone has any reason.I was also thinking about the matter, and I would like to listen to their opinions tomorrow. This matter cannot be delayed anymore, and I will have to settle tomorrow.

He swallowed a piece of fat, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the oil from his mouth, and turned his head and said: What do you think of the queen?

Zhang smiled bitterly, "Women, how can they know about fighting and killing?"

She paused for a moment, but the time stopped for a short time, but she didn't seem anxious. She immediately spoke again, but the emperor is the emperor, the king of a country, and the head of a family. If the traitors may not be wiped out for a long time, I am afraid that the people of the world will lose their respect for you, and this will damage your majesty in the long run.

Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly turned red.

Zhang then said softly: I heard that Xu Huizu is a talented person. His mother also said that it is difficult for him to speak as a uncle, but he can believe his words.My uncle is honest and upright. Since he has obeyed the imperial edict, should he truly submit to the emperor?

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: At least between me and Gao Xu, my uncle cannot be Gao Xu's person.He used to be just unwilling to kneel down to our relatives in Peking. He was very arrogant and loyal and character would definitely be fine.

Zhang said: The emperor, if you listen partially, you will be dark, and if you listen both, you will be bright.If the harem does not understand military and national affairs, Emperor Taizu also strictly prohibits the harem from interfering in politics. Just listen to it, don’t take it seriously.The Lord must listen to what the loyal ministers say more.

However, the things advocated by some court officials are not necessarily for the country and the country; only those loyal ministers who have always maintained the saint, Jin Zhong, Yuan Gong, and a few people in the East Palace, what they said is trustworthy.

The queen is still so sensible.Zhu Gaochi said, this decision is really extraordinary, I dare not be careless.

He said seriously: If you do it right, the rebels will collapse; if you make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable!Xue Lu's defeat has affected the power of the government army. If the imperial government army is defeated again, how can those fence-bearers who watch the fire from the other side of the river view the court?

Momentum and confidence are very important!

After hearing this, Zhang looked stern, and was silent for a while, and asked carefully: Xu Huizu... and Zhang Fu are not just officials who have lost their reputations?

Zhu Gaochi said: Of course not!Both of them showed their generals and their military achievements in battle formations.Their opinions are very different because there is no right or wrong in general, and as long as the things done are done, they are considered right.

When I was guarding Peiping, I was facing heavy troops, but my father dropped the army to Daning. Although this was risky, I later defended Peiping and King Ning also surrendered to my father's command.The father is right.

Zhang's face was a little pale and said: It seems that no matter how you choose, it's all right to look at how to do it?

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: Yes.

Zhang nodded thoughtfully, and then picked up food for the emperor, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long time, a hint of coldness flashed across Zhang's face and he smiled again and said: Zhang Fu is young, and he has only led the army to attack Annan. I am afraid that he is still slightly inferior to the veterans in general.
