Chapter 1930 Royal Dinner and Disagreements
One issue after another, the lunch time has come, and there are still three issues that have not been discussed.
"Let the imperial dining room cook something simple and pass the meal quickly. After eating, we can discuss it later." Emperor Jiajing ordered the young eunuch to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal.
The court meeting is temporarily adjourned for lunch.
Emperor Jiajing asked the imperial dining room to make something simple, but the imperial dining room did not dare to make it simple. If they took it seriously, they would have said goodbye to the imperial dining room long ago.
The imperial dining room didn't sit in the kitchen all day long without paying attention to worldly affairs. They also kept an eye on all directions and listened to all directions. After receiving the news that Emperor Jiajing summoned a group of ministers to hold a court meeting, they had already prepared meals for the ministers. Prepare, prepare the ingredients early, wash and cut them, start the pot early, stew the soup in the pot, mix the cold dishes in advance, and prepare the hot dishes.
As soon as the little eunuch came to pass the meal, a dozen or so imperial chefs immediately opened the hot dishes with ladles, and they were out of the pot in minutes.
Soon, the delicious and fragrant royal dishes were put into food boxes and presented to the main hall by the young eunuchs.
Emperor Jiajing was also dining with a group of ministers in the palace.
Of course, Emperor Jiajing’s imperial meal was much richer than that of his ministers. The ministers all had four simple dishes and one soup, while Emperor Jiajing had ten dishes and one soup.
The young eunuch sent a message to Huang Jin. Huang Jin nodded slightly, walked up to Emperor Jiajing, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but smile, and proudly said to the ministers below, "My ministers, you must taste this bowl of noodle soup. The flour used in this bowl of noodles is mine. The wheat grown in the field opened by Xiyuan has been ground to a yield of two hundred kilograms per mu."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, today. But it was so delicious that I asked why the noodles were so fragrant. Even before the servants opened the food boxes, the hall was filled with the fragrance of the noodles. It turned out that the noodles were planted by the Holy One."
"Suck, suck, suck. Well, this is the most delicious bowl of noodles that I have eaten in most of my life. It’s so fragrant.”
“It’s so fragrant.”
After listening to Emperor Jiajing's words, all the ministers below turned on the eating and broadcasting mode. Everyone ate so deliciously that they couldn't stop praising them.
When it comes to mukbang, Yan Song ranks first. He is old and doesn’t usually eat much, but he finished a big bowl in three times, five times divided by two, without even a drop of soup left.
"Your Majesty, when the discussion is over, could you please let me bring a bowl of noodle soup back to give my old wife a taste."
Yan Song wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and left the table to Emperor Jiajing. He kowtowed, licked his face and begged for a bowl of noodle soup to take home for his wife to try.
"Haha, Wei Zhong is really a model of love between husband and wife. He never forgets his old wife. I have never heard of Aiqing taking concubines and prostitutes. It must be difficult. A bowl of noodles, I That’s right, I’ll give you another ten pounds of flour.”
Emperor Jiajing was very considerate of Yan Song. He not only approved the noodle soup Yan Song asked for, but also rewarded him with ten kilograms of flour.
Holy shit, as expected of the cabinet minister, the ministers immediately felt that their own eating and broadcasting was too low-level, and they all wanted to imitate him.
"Forget it, you are late. I only opened one-third of an acre of fields. In total, I harvested more than two hundred and sixty kilograms of wheat and ground two hundred kilograms of flour. I rewarded Wei I won ten kilograms of flour. There are less than two hundred kilograms of flour left, and I still have a huge harem to support, so don’t worry about this flour."
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and stopped the ministers from asking for flour. Signs.
There was a sound of pity underneath.
Soon, Emperor Jiajing finished his lunch and waved his servants to leave.
After Emperor Jiajing finished eating, the ministers below him had not finished eating and could not eat any more, so they all asked the servants to remove the food.
Continue the discussion.
One after another, due to different camps, different departures, and different interest groups represented, on every issue, all the ministers were blushing, even those who belonged to Yan Song's party were also arguing. sharp.
The more benefits you get, the less I get; the less work you do, the more work I do
I have to explain to the people below when I get back.
Therefore, there was a fierce debate in the hall, but due to the strength of the Yan Party, both Li Mo and Xu Jie were at a disadvantage, especially since Xu Jie was still doing everything he could to please Yan Song and made concessions on some key issues. This also allowed the strict faction to have the overwhelming numbers on these issues and passed the issues with an advantage.
One after another.
In the second half of the afternoon, the topic of Japanese invasion came up.
"If you, ministers and ministers, have any opinions about the current Japanese invasion, you don't need to hide them, just spread them out and say them. No matter what you say, no matter whether it is wrong or wrong, I will forgive you." Emperor Jiajing made a joke. , allowing ministers to speak freely.
"The Japanese invaders have no other choice but to strike hard, encircle and suppress them with heavy troops, and kill all the Japanese pirates so that they will not dare to covet our court."
The officials of the Ministry of War were the first to speak.
"It's easy for you to say, how to strike hard and how to kill all the Japanese pirates. The Japanese invasion had already started in the Pseudo-Yuan Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty was established, the Japanese invasion emerged in endlessly and could not be eliminated. When it came to our The dynasty has become more and more violent, and it has been hundreds of years. If it had been easy to wipe out, it would have been wiped out long ago, why would it cause today's troubles?"
Some officials immediately refuted.
"Master Ma, how do you think we should solve the Japanese problem?" The official of the Ministry of War was unconvinced.
"We can't just attack with heavy blows. The Japanese pirates have been going on for hundreds of years, and it has been proved that they cannot be killed cleanly. We should use both suppression and appeasement, pulling out some and beating some." The official proposed to suppress and appease in parallel.
“Why did the Japanese pirates invade our southeast? They are just seeking money. Why don’t we open a sea ban and allow sea trade? If we can get wealth through sea trade, why do we lick blood and risk our lives to commit Japanese pirates’ acts? . ”
Another official took this opportunity and boldly proposed the idea of lifting the maritime ban and allowing maritime trade.
However, he was interrupted as soon as he finished speaking, "I'm confused, it's not the ban on sea that caused the Japanese pirates, it's the fact that there are more Japanese pirates along the coast, and we only imposed the ban on the sea. Mr. Wang, you are putting the cart before the horse!" .
"Did there be any sea ban during the Puppet Yuan Dynasty? No! Then did they have Japanese pirates? The answer is yes!"
"The Japanese pirates were in chaos in the Japanese country. The Japanese pirates were torn apart and wars were raging everywhere. The defeated Japanese warlords were Japanese pirates, the displaced Japanese slave people were Japanese pirates, and the Japanese warlords who lacked military expenditures were also Japanese pirates... "
"The only way to deal with them is to kill them. Come and kill one, come and kill a pair. They will not dare to come again after killing them!"
"The Japanese pirates plundered the people, burned, killed, looted, and killed them without mercy. If you don't do evil, you are no different from an animal. How can I make peace with an animal when I go to court!!"
"This is use, just like the Song Dynasty used Song Jiang to caress it and make it bite other Japanese pirates. Both sides suffered losses. When the Japanese pirates calmed down, it was not a matter of words. "
A group of officials had different views on how to deal with the Japanese invaders, and the dispute turned into a pot of porridge. (End of chapter)
