back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 369 Give Porridge Soup

After Lu Chengqi ran from the Hall of Renming to the Imperial Dining Room, the distance should be 1000 meters away.Running to the imperial dining room, Lu Chengqi slowed down slowly, paced the small courtyard in front of the imperial dining room, and waited to see the jokes of the panting personal eunuchs and maids chasing after his footsteps.If he had just been reborn, these eunuchs and palace men would secretly laugh at him for doing such useless work.

Well now, Lu Chengqi has undergone rigorous training, and his body is getting better and better. Now this short 1000 meters is just a piece of cake to him.It's hard for these eunuchs and palace men, it takes a desperate effort to catch up.

By the time they rushed to the imperial dining room out of breath, Lu Chengqi had already started to practice breathing skills.Needless to say, this method of controlling breathing, practiced in the early morning, immediately refreshed, and the mind is much clearer, and some things that are not easy to see through can also be glimpsed at this time.

After practicing for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Chengqi slowly stopped.Although this Breathing Technique is not a magical technique, it may make people feel happy and prevent all diseases from invading, which is extremely rare.Drinking water without forgetting the man who dug the well, Lu Chengqi misses that "honest" Fatty Lu a little bit, I don't know how he is now, there hasn't even been a report about the military recently.But after thinking about it, he purposely let the forbidden army without a single warship to encircle and suppress the Liang Shanshui bandits, which was also embarrassing Lu Chenhuan.All of this is for the sailing dream in Lu Chengqi's heart. A dynasty that does not pay attention to maritime trade must be full of internal conflicts.

In order to achieve this goal, Lu Chengqi deliberately sent Lu Chenhuan to Dongping Mansion on Shandong Road with a secret decree.He thought, when the warships are complete and Dashun's seagoing ship building technology has been greatly developed, he will give Fatty Lu several ranks as compensation.It's just that the horoscope has not been written yet, it's too early to say, let's talk about it after Fatty Lu wiped out the Liang Shanshui thieves.

Seeing that Lu Chengqi had received his credit, the little eunuch who was close to him said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Tang Xun, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, has been begging to see you for a long time."

Lu Chengqi suddenly remembered that it seemed that Zhou Zhiruo had also said this, but he just went in his left ear and out of his right ear, and then forgot about it.Lu Chengqi asked suspiciously: "What time is it?"

The little eunuch said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it's probably half past Mao."

Lu Chengqi was puzzled, this time is equivalent to about six o'clock in the later generations, the sky has just dawned, and the sun has not yet appeared, so why did Tang Xun come to see him?Besides, today is not a regular court.Even if it was the regular court, Tang Xun was not allowed to pay homage to the regular court by Lu Chengqi's permission. Why is he coming to the palace at this time?Could it be...?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi immediately said: "Please come to the imperial dining room, Tang Qing."

The little eunuch who was close to him didn't dare to talk too much. Tang Xun was waiting for the emperor's driving in the Chuigong Palace at the moment, but he was called to the imperial dining room so far away by the little emperor, which was a bit out of order.But thinking of the little emperor's merciless handling of corrupt officials, breaking this little rule is nothing.Taizu also said that "Punishment is not enough for scholar-bureaucrats". This little emperor killed more than a hundred people without blinking an eye.Don't look at the little emperor who looks harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, once he gets angry, the emperor is really angry and lays down millions of corpses...

Thinking of this, how could the little eunuch dare to be negligent, he urged his two thin legs, and walked quickly towards the Chui Gong Hall.After a while, Tang Xun, who had been waiting for a long time, was brought into the imperial dining room.Although Tang Xun has been to the palace many times, it is the first time he has entered the harem category.After all, the civil and military officials who participated in the regular dynasty all entered through the Xuande Gate, the main entrance of the imperial palace, and went directly to the Daqing Hall through the Daqing Gate.Those above the fifth rank Beijing officials can participate in court discussions in the Daqing Hall; those below the fifth rank will be divided into civil and military personnel to wait outside the Daqing Hall.If it's raining, wait in the east and west side halls.After the regular dynasty, all civil and military officials were not allowed to stay in the palace, but had to go back to their own yamen.That is to say, where you come from, you will go back to where you are.

With such strict control, where has Tang Xun seen the complete palace?Tang Xun, who got his wish this time and was very excited, was looking around.Even when he was outside the imperial dining room, Tang Xun still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and stood there looking around, waiting for the little eunuch to go in and report to Lu Chengqi.

Before he had time to look at the royal dining place, the little eunuch hurried out and said respectfully: "Master Tang, Your Majesty wants you to come in and have an audience."

Tang Xun nodded regretfully, and stepped into the imperial dining room alone.After passing through a screen, the eyes suddenly opened up.This is a wide hall, and there is only one long table in the hall.Tang Xun estimated that this table can seat at least hundreds of people and serve more than 100 dishes at the same time.

At the other end of the long table, Dashun Emperor Lu Chengqi was slowly drinking porridge with a spoon.Tang Xun hurriedly bowed and said, "I see Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi put down the spoon and said with a smile: "Tang Qing is here, have you had your breakfast yet? Why are you so polite, it's only you and me here, so you need more courtesy! Come, come and sit beside me! "

Lu Chengqi could do whatever he wanted, but Tang Xun didn't dare to. He kept in mind Gang Chang's etiquette, thanked him first, and then carefully sat down beside Lu Chengqi.

"Since Tang Qing hasn't eaten breakfast, let's have it with me. There is porridge here, and the bowl is there, serve it yourself." Lu Chengqi pointed to the back of the screen, and as expected, there was a tall stack of delicate white porcelain Small bowls, and matching cutlery.

Tang Xun declined and said: "How dare I use mutton together with Your Majesty, it really kills me..."

Seeing how shy he was, Lu Chengqi frowned, and said, "This palace is my home, and you are a guest when you come here. How can there be any reason to neglect a guest? Go, this is my imperial decree!"

Seeing that the little emperor was serious, Tang Xun had no choice but to thank Shengen, took the bowl and chopsticks, filled a bowl of porridge, and ate carefully.

Adhering to the admonition of not talking when eating or sleeping, Tang Xun didn't even dare to make the sound of porridge.On the other hand, Lu Chengqi made a lot of noise like eating noodles, and after eating, there was a burst of admiration, the imperial chef in this palace is really extraordinary, even a porridge is so delicious, the seasoning of dried scallops and scallops, Let the porridge have the taste of seafood; paired with haggis that has lost the fishy smell, it is both nutritious and hungry, and it is not much worse than the preserved egg and lean meat porridge of later generations.

Seeing that the little emperor had finished eating, Tang Xun also wanted to speed up.But the porridge is really hot, and being impatient doesn't help.Seeing this, Lu Chengqi teased: "Tang Qing, there is plenty of porridge and soup. If you think it tastes good, you can eat two more bowls. Why are you in such a hurry, and no one will grab it from you!"

Tang Xun cupped his hands and said, "You made Your Majesty laugh..."

Lu Chengqi said: "Okay, I know that the artillery has made a problem, otherwise, you, Tang Xun, would not have come to report to me. Just eat slowly, and then talk about business after eating."
