Chapter 1948 Suzhou’s Good News Is True

Early the next morning, Huang Jin was still serving Emperor Jiajing for breakfast in the palace. When he saw Emperor Jiajing enjoying a whole bowl of fragrant rice with six side dishes, and a large bowl of chicken crispy cake soup, he couldn't help but sigh. I feel happy.

This time it is really thanks to Mr. Xiao Zhu. Ever since the news of Suzhou's success was presented, His Majesty's appetite has been greatly increased.

"It tastes good, Huang Ban. According to the regulations, I will reward the imperial kitchen appropriately." Emperor Jiajing said with satisfaction after finishing his breakfast.

"According to the order." Huang Jin bowed to receive the order.

"Speaking of which, since the imperial meal was changed from Guanglu Temple to the imperial dining room, the overall taste of the imperial meal has improved a lot."

Emperor Jiajing said slowly.

Yes, the imperial meals in the early Ming Dynasty were initially provided by Guanglu Temple. Guanglu Temple used to be in charge of imperial meals and banquets and other matters. It had a high status among the yamen in the capital. At that time, it was worthy of being one of the "Little Nine Qings" .

At that time, Guanglu Temple was in great trouble. Not to mention other things, just for the two matters of imperial meals and banquets, the food materials alone were distributed to 100,000 livestock every year, 50,000 in the first half of the year. Fifty thousand in the second half of the year. With so many things, the palace will definitely be unable to eat them all. The rest will naturally go to the officials of Guanglu Temple.

Why was the imperial dining room changed from Guanglu Temple to the royal dining room in the palace?

Quite simply, the imperial cuisine at Guanglu Temple was too unpalatable, and without improvement, Emperor Jiajing moved it to the imperial dining room in the palace.

"Haha, Your Majesty, speaking of Guanglu Temple, they are one of the four most unreliable people in the capital."

Huang Jin thought of the rumors and said with a smile.

"Oh, which of the four are unreliable?" Huang Jin's words successfully attracted Emperor Jiajing's curiosity.

"Going back to your Majesty, these four unreliable things are: the articles from the Hanlin Academy, the swords and guns from the Arsenal; the tea soup from Guanglu Temple, and the prescriptions from Taiyuan Hospital. Haha, these are not true, they are all ridiculed by ignorant people."

Huang Jin bowed and answered.

"Ha, even though it is a joke, there is some truth in it. Many of the Hanlin Academy's articles are too false and unrealistic; the Arsenal Department is also a little careless, and many people from Nine Sides have reported that the weapons of the Arsenal Department are not as good as those banned in the past. The tea soup at Guanglu Temple, I feel unappetizing now after hearing about it. I only know that there is big fish, big meat, pepper and aniseed ingredients, and I don’t care about the taste at all. It’s either too salty, too sour, too greasy, or full of aniseed ingredients. Taste, it is simply a waste; as for imperial hospitals, most of the imperial doctors are hereditary. They originally thought that medical skills would be passed down from generation to generation, and experience would be taught to each generation, and each generation would become better than the previous generation. However, the result is that each generation is not as good as the last, with insufficient experience and insufficient ability, and serious illness It can’t be cured, even minor illnesses can’t be cured.”

Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but complain.

"These stubborn diseases must be rectified when I have my hands and feet free." At the end, Emperor Jiajing said flirtatiously.

Huang Jin didn't say anything, and bowed and handed Emperor Jiajing a warm and moist handkerchief for him to wipe his hands with.

In fact, he deliberately brought up this topic.

As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. He has been with you for decades. What should be said and what should not be said have long been engraved in his bones. Everything he said was not said casually, he spoke it after careful consideration.

The reason why I took the opportunity to bring up the topic is that the Imperial Kitchen Room is currently in charge of their Chief Ceremony Officer. The previous "achievements" of Guanglu Temple can be used as a negative foil to better reward the Imperial Kitchen Room, and to reward the Imperial Kitchen Room, It is to reward the Supervisor of Ceremonies, which makes Huang Jin's face bright. The current competition in the inner court is not the same as the competition in the outer court. If he does not advance, he will retreat; the second is to attack his opponents. The eunuch who is currently in charge of the imperial hospital is his opponent. , they are in a competitive relationship; the third is to beat the Arsenal Department. The current Arsenal Department is too unsightly. Not only are the weapons of poor quality, but the weapons distributed to the border towns are still short of jinshaoliang. He has a godson who works as a military supervisor in Datong. He reported the matter secretly and said that he witnessed with his own eyes that the artillery issued by the military arsenal department in Datong Town exploded after firing only three shells. The Tatars were not killed, but instead many of their own gunners were killed.

A soldier goes to the battlefield without any weapons. Isn't this ridiculous? He was originally inferior to humans, but now his weapons are inferior to humans. Aren't they waiting to lose the battle? If the battle is defeated, the Holy Emperor will definitely be angry again, and the dragon body will be so angry. , who can bear this responsibility!

If all sides can win every day like Lord Xiao Zhu, then the Holy Spirit will be in a good mood every day.

Smile, ten years are less!

If the Holy One could be in a good mood every day, then why would the Holy One still have to practice so hard to take pills?

Therefore, Huang Jincai took the opportunity to bring up the topic.

Emperor Jiajing finished his breakfast and began his daily routine of meditation. Huang Jin stepped back with a sense of interest.

As soon as Huang Jin exited the hall, he saw his eunuch in charge of the East Factory waiting for him outside the hall, as if there was something urgent.

"Xiao Ningzi, didn't the Zajia ask you to watch the people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Supervisory Office, and the Dali Temple interrogate and identify the Japanese prisoners and their heads in Suzhou?! It will take the Holy Spirit three days to come up with the results. Today is the second day. On the most critical day, if you are not there to watch, why are you here?" Huang Jin stared at him displeased and asked.

"Reporting to the Governor, it's related to this case. I have something urgent to report." Eunuch Ning bowed and reported.

"Oh, what's the emergency?" Huang Jin asked.

"Back to the Governor, this morning, as soon as the boy went to the prison, Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Punishment, and Mr. Liu, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, came to look for him," Eunuch Ning reported back.

Huang Jin couldn't help but frowned when he heard that Zhang Shilang and Mr. Liu, the young minister of Dali Temple, came to find Eunuch Ning.

Both of these people are members of the Yan Party. It is well known that Yan Party and Mr. Xiao Zhu do not deal with each other. After all, Mr. Xiao Zhu served as a consultant for Yang Jisheng's impeachment memorial against Yan Song. He offended Yan Party and was relegated to a remote county in the south of the Yangtze River. Unexpectedly, Master Xiao Zhu would make a comeback so quickly after being demoted to Jiangnan.

Now, Mr. Xiao Zhu has made such a great achievement, and the strict party will definitely not be willing to sit back and watch Zhu Ping'an receive rewards for his meritorious service.

You can imagine what the two of them wanted to do when they came to look for Xiao Ningzi.

"The Za family told you that the Holy Father is watching this matter. The case must be handled impartially and no one will be allowed to tamper with it."

Huang Jin interrupted Eunuch Ning and warned him sternly.

"The Superintendent told me when the boy had ever violated a word. They came to look for the boy and said that after yesterday's interrogation and identification, they had concluded that Suzhou's victory was conclusive and not false. They requested that the case be closed as soon as possible and that the conclusion be made public as soon as possible. Report to Your Majesty." Eunuch Ning quickly reported.

"Oh?" Huang Jin was a little surprised, "What's the opinion of the Inspectorate?"

"The Inspectorate also seconded the opinion and agreed with them that the good news from Suzhou is true." Eunuch Ning replied.

Huang Jin thought for a moment and didn't know what they were doing. However, it was a good thing and there was no reason to refuse.

"What were your conclusions from yesterday's interrogation?" Huang Jin asked.

"The prisoner is true. What he said corroborates the good news in Suzhou. The head is also unquestionable. It is preliminarily concluded that the good news in Suzhou is true."

Eunuch Ning reported back.

"Okay, let's close the case accordingly, issue the document as soon as possible, use all the seals, and submit it for preview." Huang Jin ordered.

"No." Eunuch Ning accepted the order.

"Wait a minute, the document must state that it is a preliminary conclusion. The final conclusion cannot be drawn until the factory guard who went to Suzhou returns the on-site investigation report." Huang Jin stopped Eunuch Ning and warned him again.

"Boy, I understand." Eunuch Ning took the order and left. (End of chapter)
