The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 69 Another Bamboo Card

Zhao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Ding, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Shu, Minister of Dali Temple, stood in front of Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan handed the pleading paper to Zhao Ding who was in front of him, and said, "Look, this is a letter signed by the common people in Northwest China. After reading it, I feel really sad!"

Zhao Ding took the thick stack of pleading papers from Zhao Huan's hand suspiciously, and after opening it, he realized that the pleading papers were actually referring to Li Yan, the former chief executive officer.

In fact, regarding the issue of Li Yan, many censors had already written letters of impeachment when Huizong was in power, but it was a pity that Li Yan was deeply favored by Song Huizong Zhao Ji at that time, so the matter was finally let go.

But now that Zhao Huan has brought out this old account, does that mean to investigate Li Yan?
Zhao Ding handed the pleading paper to Zhao Cheng who was next to him. After Zhao Cheng read it, he handed it to Dali Temple Chancellor Wang Shu.

After Zhao Huan and the three of them finished watching, they said, "Let's talk about it."

Zhao Ding glanced at the two people next to him, exchanged his sights with his eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yan is a heinous person who expropriated and seized farmland and displaced the people in the northwest region. Now the evidence is convincing. , The Ministry of Punishment requested that he be detained and handed over to the three divisions of Dali Temple for joint trial, so that his crimes will be made known to the world, so as to reassure the people."

Zhao Huan nodded and instructed: "The war in the northwest is tense now. If the people's support is lost again, the situation will be critical. This matter must be dealt with immediately, and the case should be verified and made into an iron case. The farmland and land should be returned to the common people as soon as possible, and all the stolen money that Li Yan embezzled will be confiscated!"

"I obey the order!" Zhao Ding and the other three took the order and left.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, stood up from the dragon chair, and said to Cheng Dafu: "Let's go to the Ordnance Department!"

Cheng Dafu didn't expect that Zhao Huan would suddenly go to the Ordnance Department, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time for lunch."

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's go outside the palace and eat something casually."

Cheng Dafu looked bitter, eating outside the palace, what is there to eat, and the most important thing is that Cheng Dafu is worried about safety, in case Zhao Huan is poisoned, even if it is light, it will be bad It was his fault too.

"Your Majesty, why don't I ask the imperial dining room to hurry up and prepare, and we'll go to the Armory Department after dinner." Cheng Dafu persuaded.

Zhao Huan said indifferently: "Don't bother, let's go now, and eat something on the way!" Zhao Huan said, and walked out.

Cheng Dafu hurried to prepare the chariot. He found that Zhao Huan had been too busy since he became the emperor, and he was exhausted. Now Zhao Huan didn't even care about lunch and was going outside the palace. Eating in a restaurant was something that Cheng Dafu never dared to think about before.

In order not to disturb the common people, Zhao Huan did not take a dragon chariot when he left the palace, but an ordinary chariot. The gunpowder developed by the Ordnance Department was dangerous, so he stayed away from the palace. Zhao Huan had already arrived there. meal time.

There was a small shop called "Only One" on the side of the road. Zhao Huan saw that there were many people eating in it. According to the experience of later generations, the food in this restaurant should be good, so he walked in with Cheng Dafu.

"Guest officer, what do you want to eat? There are steamed buns and pancakes in the small shop..." This is equivalent to an individual shop in later generations. Afterwards, the shop owner greeted him warmly immediately.

"Pick up a few dishes that you are good at and serve them!" Zhao Huan said casually. He is a person who is not very sensitive to taste. He didn't have any resistance to eating.

Cheng Dafu looked nervous, and said, "Be quick with your hands and feet, bring the finished things to me first!"

The shopkeeper quickly agreed, but now he looked at Zhao Huan with a little more curiosity.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought Zhao Huan the special dishes in the shop, as well as a basket of steamed buns and a plate of cooking cakes. Cheng Dafu carefully tested the non-toxic with silver needles before delivering these dishes. In front of Zhao Huan.

After Zhao Huan took a bite, he regretted his proposal to find a small restaurant on the side of the road to eat, because the food was so vegetarian, although Zhao Huan was not very particular about eating, but such a vegetarian Zhao Huan's food is not what Zhao Huan likes to eat, there is not even a little oil and water.

So after resisting to eat a steamed stuffed bun, Zhao Huan couldn't swallow it anymore. It's no wonder that Zhao Huan's mouth has been practiced after eating the food cooked by the imperial chef for a long time.

Seeing that Zhao Huan had eaten a bun, he put down his chopsticks. The store owner walked over enthusiastically and said, "Guest officer, but the food made by the store is not to your liking?"

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "This is too plain, not even a bit oily, more like a monk's fast meal."

The shopkeeper picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and said: "No, the taste is right! Guest officer, everyone who has been to my shop said that the food I cook is delicious, and you are the first to say that I cook it. People whose food is not delicious."

"That's right, this food is delicious, but you actually say it's not delicious. I think you're making trouble on purpose!" The movement here immediately aroused the attention of the diners nearby, and it seems that many diners came from this restaurant Regular customers, at this time, I couldn't help but support the store and said.

Seeing this posture, Cheng Dafu was frightened, he hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao Huan, and said, "Master Huang, why don't we go first."

Zhao Huan didn't care, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, they have no ill intentions towards me." Now Zhao Huan's mental strength is different from ordinary people, and he has a keen perception of danger.

"I didn't pick things up on purpose. Isn't what I said the truth? You just say this cabbage, isn't it boiled in plain water? Then add some salt, what's the point of eating like this!" Zhao Huan commented.

"It's a joke, isn't this cabbage cooked and eaten, can it still be eaten raw? I think you kid is deliberately trying to provoke trouble and want to renege on the debt? Boss Zhang, don't worry. If this person eats the overlord's meal, you will report it to the police. We will all testify to you." The diners next to him continued to cheer.

"Is this cabbage always boiled in plain water?" Zhao Huan asked suspiciously.

Everyone nodded, and the shopkeeper saw that Zhao Huan was not an ordinary person, and he didn't seem like the kind of person who would eat a king's meal, so he tentatively asked: "Guest officer, don't you have a better way? You can say it, I'll do it all over again."

　It's three o'clock, where's the recommended ticket?What about tipping?Come on!
