Chapter 602: Poison! The King of Han Plotted to Kill His Majesty the Emperor!
Latest website:
Prince Han is furious!
The ministers were immediately frightened into silence and did not dare to say a word.
They looked at each other and took one look at the yellow rice porridge, which was a little hard to swallow.
You must know that these officials present are either important officials in the court or famous scholars and celebrities all over the world. Their status is there, and they have never worried about their livelihood.
These gentry and dignitaries usually eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the worst thing is fragrant rice, with full grains and a strong aroma.
But the yellow rice porridge in front of them now, not to mention how yellow it is, is still made from brown rice, and the taste is unimaginable!
Is this thing really edible?
Everyone looked at each other and fell into silence.
Seeing this, Emperor Yongle came to his senses and drank the yellow rice porridge in one gulp.
The strange taste was far less bitter than Zhu Di's heart.
His Majesty the Emperor personally took the lead in drinking. No matter how unhappy everyone was, they could only pick up their bowls and prepare to hold their noses and drink this damn thing.
Xia Yuanji glanced at these people, a hint of bitterness appeared on his old face.
Xia Yuanji, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was also in charge of agricultural affairs in the world.
The people of the Ming Dynasty drank this stuff every day to make a living, and they couldn't even fill their stomachs.
He, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, couldn't help but feel so good.
Xia Yuanji sighed and finished the yellow rice porridge.
But compared to His Majesty the Emperor, he drank very slowly and carefully, and every sip was full of bitterness.
At this point, the other officials no longer had the courage to shirk, so they had no choice but to drink the yellow rice porridge.
After everyone had finished drinking, Zhu Gaoxu asked with a smile.
"Everyone, how are you?"
"Is it the yellow rice porridge that tastes bad, or the mashed potatoes that taste bad?"
After hearing what the King of Han said, everyone's faces were gloomy, but because His Majesty the Emperor was already on the verge of rage, they did not dare to explode.
Zhu Di, on the other hand, smacked his lips, with a sad look on his face.
"Is this yellow rice porridge really porridge?"
"The soup is clear and watery. After one bowl, you won't even feel the slightest sensation."
"My dear friends, I am just thinking that the common people cannot even fill their stomachs by eating this all day long, but they still have to work hard all day long..."
When he said this, Zhu Di's eyes even turned a little red, and an unspeakable strong sense of guilt instantly enveloped his heart.
"I ask myself to work diligently, love the people, and be frugal with my expenses. But no matter how frugal I am, my daily meals can still be called..."
At this moment, Zhu Di had only one thought in his mind...
I really deserve to die!
Under the adulation of both the government and the public, he, Zhu Di, could not help but claim to be a wise king.
But today the King of Han presented this yellow rice porridge and told him that the people were struggling to survive. This was undoubtedly a loud slap on Zhu Di's face!
Seeing this, the ministers all bowed their heads in silence.
Of course, not everyone has this sense of responsibility.
But His Majesty the Emperor has said so, just bow your head and admit your mistake. Do you still dare to grin at this time?
On the surface, His Majesty the Emperor is blaming himself, but he is the Emperor of Heaven. Can the Emperor make mistakes?
The emperor blames himself, damn he is not a minister!
These ministers should all be ashamed and commit suicide!
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and ordered the rest of the dishes to be brought up.
"Dad, you're just not used to eating mashed potatoes, so you think it tastes weird."
"These dishes are also made of potatoes, fried or fried. Each one has a different taste. Dad, please try it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was stunned, and everyone's expressions became strange.
Oh my god!
This King of Han is really nothing!
He directly served the most disgusting food and took the opportunity to teach them a lesson. He also made the emperor feel bad and scared the officials into silence!
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu with some resentment, and then ordered someone to get the chopsticks.
He tasted the browned and crispy fried potatoes first, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
“This tastes good, crispy and refreshing!”
"These are fried potato chips. You can use seasonings to improve the taste."
Then Zhu Di tried the hot and sour potato shreds, and the new taste made his taste buds bloom immediately.
"This dish..."
"Hot and sour potato shreds, they taste good, don't they?"
"It's really good."
“And this beef and potato dish!”
"Huh? Beef?"
"Ahem, I'll die of old age."
Everyone was speechless for a while when they heard this, and Xia Yuanji even rolled his eyes.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, cattle are important agricultural livestock and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to kill them privately. Violators will be severely punished.
Not only did local and state governments record the number of cattle, but the imperial court also used it as one of the criteria for evaluating the performance of officials.
But how can it be so difficult to obtain privileged dignitaries?
As a result, the cattle were forced to "die naturally" one after another.
Seeing the emperor laughing heartily while eating, the ministers' eyes immediately widened.
Especially the dishes presented at the end, each one has a fragrant aroma that makes people want to eat.
However, the thief Prince Han only made a portion for His Majesty the Emperor, and there was no portion for them at all. So at this moment, everyone could only watch the Emperor eating helplessly, and their saliva was almost drooling.
Zhu Di tasted every dish carefully. The more he tasted, the happier he became, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
It wasn't because the food was delicious that he turned from anger to joy, but because he was happy that the potatoes were perfect.
Not only can it be eaten directly as grain, but it can also be used as a dish. The key is that the yield of this product is extremely high, and it can be called a real artifact of the country!
"This potato is truly a magic weapon!"
“Whether it’s the yield or the taste, it can definitely be used as a staple food for the common people!”
"Zheng He, Zheng He, you have made great achievements this time!"
Zheng He was standing next to Prince Han at this moment. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down to thank him.
"Your Majesty is serious. This is all thanks to the guidance of His Highness the King of Han. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net Otherwise, I will never be able to sail eastward in this life!"
When Zhu Di heard what he said, he nodded happily.
After all, he knew that Zheng He's new voyage to the east was due to the charts and routes provided to him by his second brother.
It can be said that most of Zheng He's achievement in bringing back the divine seed this time must fall on the Han King Zhu Gaoxu!
"The King of Han is certainly meritorious!"
"Without him, how could I, the Ming Dynasty, have obtained such a magical weapon?"
Hearing this, Zheng, Yang Shiqi and others were overjoyed.
Next, as long as the emperor orders the potatoes to be handed over to the King of Han for promotion and cultivation, when the autumn harvest comes, His Highness the King of Han will be able to rely on this tremendous achievement to take over the East Palace and become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!
Some people are happy and some are sad. Yang Pu and others don't look very good at this moment.
First, the King of Han has made such great achievements, I am afraid that his weight in the emperor's heart will become more and more important.
Second, Zheng He openly expressed his support for Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. This is not good news!
In the past, the Ming Navy might not be that important. After all, the Central Plains has been dominated by land warfare since ancient times.
But now, with the expansion of the kings, the maritime territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty has almost exceeded the land territory, and the Ming Navy has suddenly become very popular!
But the great grandson Zhu Zhanji knew nothing about the navy, and he didn't even pay attention to it!
When Yang Pu thought of this, his brows suddenly furrowed.
However, at this moment, Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed and he fainted.
"father!"
"emperor?!"
"Send it to the doctor quickly!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately panicked.
Seeing this situation, a Confucian official shouted angrily.
"Prince of Han, how dare you poison the emperor?"
Zhu Gaoxu: "???"
Damn it?
