Chapter 1696 The Emperor Is Not Confused

When the autumn is high and the air is crisp, sit by the river, with a brazier in front of you, a pot on the brazier, and prepared fish and side dishes beside it.

"Father, I want to eat!"

Zhang Shuhui sat on the side and hugged Wuyou, Wuyou held her finger in her mouth, and shouted as she looked at the fish.

The girl wanted to eat, but Fang Xing only felt that the God of Cooking possessed him instantly.

He picked up the oil pan, sautéed the ingredients until fragrant, added water, then threw a mutton bone into it, then covered the pot, and said with a smile, "Wuyou will be ready after a while."

Fang Jielun shared the fish over there, but the farmers were not willing to take it. Fang Jielun had nothing to do, so he forced him to share most of the fish, but the rest made him frown.

"Master, they think fish is not as good as meat."

Fang Jielun gritted his teeth and said: "These idiots, it's because they eat too much meat, this old slave won't put meat next time."

Xie Jin smelled the fragrance overflowing from the side of the pot, and said casually: "Then let Hua Niang pass on some fish recipes, so that they can catch all the fish in this river."

Fang Jielun respected Xie Jin, but he was unhappy when he heard this, and argued: "Mr. Xie, the farmer's family is ignorant, but they know the truth that they can't cut off their children and grandchildren."

Xie Jin was stunned, and Huang Zhong coughed dryly: "Mr. Xie was just joking."

Fang Xing lifted the lid of the pot, and the sound of sniffling was heard all around.

Putting the fish down, Fang Xing opened the wine and poured it for Xie Jin. When it was Huang Zhong's turn, he panicked and prepared to pour himself, Fang Xing said with a smile: "You have worked hard all year round, so pouring wine is nothing."

Zhang Shuhui also stood up with Xiaobai to salute, thanking Xie Jin and Huang Zhong for their hard work.

Xie Jin caressed his beard and said, "The old man stays comfortably in the academy. What are you working hard for? Bolu is working hard. Drink more later."

Once Lao Jie puts on his old status, he is invincible!

Five minutes later, Fang Xing lifted the lid of the pot, and then a scent came out, Yoyo licked his lips, but Wuyou shouted: "Father, I want to eat, I want to eat."

Fang Xing first made a piece of fish belly and put it in a small bowl, then handed it over, and said, "Pay attention to the fishbone."

Zhang Shuhui put her on the small stool, and then slowly checked her for the fishbone.

"Mom, hurry up!"

Wuyou rested his chin on his hands and looked at the fish, but he didn't pay attention to Fang Xing who was cooking.

Fang Xing felt heartbroken, so he raised his bowl and said, "Mr. Xie, Bolu, autumn is the harvest season, I hope we will still have a good harvest next year."

Xie Jin raised his bowl and said, "Okay, I hope the academy will have a good harvest."

Huang Zhong smiled and said: "I only hope that Ming Dynasty will have a good harvest, and step by step towards prosperity!"

"Prosperity!"

Fang Xing raised his head to finish the wine, put down the bowl, and saw Wuyou eating a piece of fish with his eyebrows stretched, he felt that nothing could compare to his daughter's smile in any prosperous age.

...

In Fangjiazhuang, the fields had been harvested and looked flat.

A few boys were playing with small fish, and a few old men were sitting on the ridge of the field, chatting about something.

Lu Zhen felt very bored seeing this scene, and became even more upset when he was stopped by those boys.

"May I ask who the honored guest is looking for?"

These boys have all studied in school for several years, and they have a lot of basic etiquette.

Lu Zhen led the horse, and said angrily: "I'm looking for your master, go and pass it on."

"You are an official? The master is by the river, you can go by yourself."

A boy recognized the official uniform worn by Lu Zhen, and pointed to the direction of the river, and then several boys squatted aside and began to dissect the small fish.

Lu Zhen snorted coldly when he saw that no one was leading the way, and then got on his horse and went.

As soon as he walked away, those old men shouted: "Quickly inform the master."

A kid said with a smile: "Grandpa Seven, the direction I pointed to him just now is wrong!"

...

So when Lu Zhen found Fang Xing along the river, Fang Xing was already slightly drunk.

"Lord Lu?"

Fang Xing was a little surprised, but the visitor was a guest, he pointed to his side and said, "Eat something?"

Lu Zhen was hungry, so he tied his horse to a nearby tree and sat down.

"The boys in your village can't even tell the difference between east, west, and north!"

Fang Xing remembered the direction he came from, and said seriously: "Yes, those boys are fools in the school."

The so-called hot pot is to add vegetables while eating. Fang Xing added some fish to it, and told Wuyou who was full and wanted to go to the river to play: "Go and play, just don't play with the water."

Zhang Shuhui and Xiaobai got up to leave, and Lu Zhen snorted coldly: "The envoys from the Meatloaf Kingdom are coming aggressively. Uncle Xinghe, Your Majesty wanted you to contact them earlier, and the Ministry of Rites wants to arrange it. What do you say?"

At this time, the fish is very fresh, without any fishy smell, and the entrance is the original fish taste.

Fang Xing put down his chopsticks and said, "The supply for the thousand people should not be too good, as long as they are full, don't give them any meat."

Lu Zhen was stunned, "That will lead to disputes. Uncle Xinghe, you are talking about it easily at the moment, but when the time comes, it will be a matter for my Ministry of Rites."

"What are you afraid of?"

Fang Xing frowned and said, "If Roumi Nation calls, then we will go to fight. We are not afraid, what are you afraid of? Besides, Roumi Nation's attitude towards Da Ming is unclear, why give them preferential treatment?"

Lu Zhen was at a loss for words, so he ate a piece of fish, which was unexpectedly delicious, so he said, "You, Xinghe Bo, tell His Majesty by yourself that the Ministry of Rites is just cooperating. If you are not satisfied, Your Majesty will naturally arrange it."

This is a threat, Xie Jin's eyes flashed brightly, Huang Zhong hurriedly touched his shoes, and then smiled lightly: "Why do barbarians treat you politely?"

Go!

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "The Roumi Kingdom is trying to coerce Daming. Does the Ministry of Rituals want to treat them well, and wait for them to go back and tell the Roumi King that Daming is a world of flamboyance, come and grab it."

"I won't argue with you."

Lu Zhen panicked when Xie Jin stared at him, so he hurriedly said: "The Ministry of Rites has explained everything that should be explained to the Ministry of Rites. For the rest, you, Xinghe Bo, will ask His Majesty for instructions and take your leave."

Seeing that he ate a large piece of fish before leaving, Xie Jin snorted coldly, that piece of fish was his favorite.

After Lu Zhen left, Xie Jin said: "He is here to clarify, Dehua, according to you, Roumi country is strong, how to negotiate, how to find out their intentions, your majesty is waiting, you And be careful."

Wuyou was teasing the fish by the river, those boys got the fish out, jumped on the grass, and then encouraged Wuyou to touch it, but the result was constant screaming.

Fang Xing withdrew his gaze and said, "Even if there are no visitors from Roumi Nation, next year I plan to advise His Majesty... to send a fleet to Tianfang to see how they are doing."

"Where's Jin Yiwei?"

Huang Zhong felt that Fang Xing ignored Jin Yiwei.

"It's too difficult. Jin Yiwei has suffered a lot in Harleh, and the East Factory can't make it..."

Shenyang has already taken root in Jinyiwei, while Dongchang, under the leadership of Sun Xiang, has been a bit dull recently.

"Father, fish! Fish!"

Wuyou turned around and shouted excitedly at Fang Xing.

"Okay, fish."

Fang Xing responded with a smile, and then said: "I will enter the palace later to see what His Majesty means."

...

"Master Wan is acting as an envoy, it's too fake, the fleshy charming wants to do something, Harlei is in danger."

Zhu Gaochi summoned Zhang Fu and was somewhat wary of the current situation in the north.

"Your Majesty, let's fight!"

Zhang Fu only felt that he was trapped in the thorns and couldn't move an inch, so he inevitably felt a little anxious.

"Yilibali no longer exists, and there are now thieves everywhere. Harleh people and meat charming are constantly fighting in Harleh, and Xinghe City is often attacked by small groups of enemy troops. A fight will not only make the north It's quiet, but it can also shock the charming meat!"

Zhu Gaochi pondered, and Zhang Fu continued to encourage: "Your Majesty, a fight will not only boost morale, but also suppress the internal conflicts of Ming Dynasty."

Internal conflicts are resolved from the outside. This is an attempt that the ancestors have started a long time ago, and it has been tried and tested.

But there are also playful ones, such as Emperor Sui Yang.

"Your Majesty, Xing and Bo are asking to see each other."

Zhu Gaochi was still pondering, and said after hearing the words: "The British Duke will go back first, and I will think about it carefully."

Zhang Fu sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that he was still not as trustworthy as Fang Xing by Zhu Gaochi, so he could only resign.

On the way out of the palace, Zhang Fu saw Fang Xing.

It was hard for the two of them to talk much in this environment, so they said hello and went their separate ways.
