"You also know that the day after tomorrow is the beginning of winter, so I came here for nothing else. I just want you to make a meal of mutton-filled dumplings for all the civil and military officials in the palace on the winter solstice!"
Winter Solstice Dumplings and Summer Solstice Noodles are traditional customs that go back thousands of years.
It's just that now Zhu Gaoying can be regarded as a real loner. Apart from a wife and queen in the harem, he has no relatives or friends.
To be honest, Zhu Gaotian misses his cheap dad a little now.
"The day after tomorrow, during the morning court, all civil and military officials will have a meal of dumplings for each person?"
At this time, the manager of the imperial kitchen finally calmed down and stood tremblingly beside Zhu Gaoyan.
"Yes, not only the high-ranking civil and military officials, but also the most common eunuchs and maids in the palace, and even those who work in the palace!"
"I want to invite everyone in the palace to give each of them a plate of hot mutton stuffed dumplings on the morning of the Beginning of Winter!"
Not only the civil and military officials, but also Zhang Qixin and the craftsmen working under them, and of course those busy in the imperial kitchen.
"this……"
The manager of the imperial kitchen was immediately in trouble, so he calculated the number of people as a minimum, one plate of dumplings per person, and there were tens of thousands of people in the palace.
This requires at least tens of thousands of plates of dumplings. Even if everyone in the imperial kitchen works day and night to make dumplings, they may not be able to finish them!
Zhu Gaoyan also did a brief calculation and found that the workload seemed to be quite large.
"Of course, I won't just let you do it in the imperial dining room. There are also all the civil and military officials, the maids in the palace, the eunuchs, anyone who has the hands and feet can come to the imperial dining room to prepare a meal tomorrow.
dumpling!"
this……
The manager of the imperial kitchen is in trouble again. As the saying goes, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. It is against the rules for all civil and military officials to come to the imperial kitchen. If word spreads, he may be ridiculed by scholars all over the world.
But Zhu Gaoyan's next sentence was like a shot in the arm.
"Tomorrow, I will come, and my beloved concubine, the Queen, will also come. We will also make dumplings ourselves. In the early morning of the next day, you will mix these dumplings together and put them into the pot!"
His Majesty will also come in person?!
Your Majesty and the Queen will also take matters into their own hands, wouldn't it be easier to handle now?
These are dumplings made by His Majesty and the Queen themselves. Although it sounds quite ridiculous, it will definitely make everyone flock to it.
Even the manager of the imperial kitchen wanted to secretly keep one or two dumplings made by His Majesty himself. These were made by His Majesty and are very valuable.
If you have a little royal energy on your hands, you will be immune to all poisons and live a long life.
Maybe after eating it, he will be able to soar into the sky and become famous.
In the superstitious feudal ancient times, this was an unimaginable temptation.
Otherwise, even the excrement excreted by the emperor would be purchased at a high price, and then added with various spices and precious medicinal materials to create expensive dragon relics.
Has anyone bought it? Of course, there are a lot of people rushing to buy it!
The people who finally bought these dragon relics were all famous wealthy businessmen and officials. Then, under the envious eyes of everyone, they either treasured them or swallowed them and distributed them to their families.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaotian couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
By the way, will the things you pull out be made into dragons and sold out?
Do you want to be so perverted?
Even the excrement excreted by the emperor is a peerless treasure, let alone these dumplings made by the emperor himself, which are treasures that are hard to find!
Although the manager of the imperial kitchen had evil thoughts, he thought about his status and touched his neck, and finally gave up the idea.
"With your Majesty's words, I can guarantee that tomorrow everyone in the palace will rush to the imperial kitchen to make dumplings!"
"Then you should prepare as much as you can to ensure there is enough space tomorrow!"
Zhu Gaoyang nodded. This was the result he wanted to see, even though he knew that those ministers might not really come to make dumplings.
…
"Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to the imperial kitchen to cook in person tomorrow?"
After Su Wu told Yang Shiqi about this, Yang Shiqi was completely confused.
Your Majesty is playing too wildly!
Today, I cook in person, together with the ministers, maids and eunuchs. I am afraid this is the first time in history.
"Your Majesty, you are so good at causing trouble!"
Zhu Gaoying did outrageous things one after another. Su Wu was used to it, but Yang Shiqi was still shocked one after another.
"You also know that we have been following His Majesty for such a long time. You also know what kind of person His Majesty is!"
Su Wu looked like he was not surprised.
"Su Wu, do you know that no emperor has ever done this before?"
"I know, but His Majesty is a man who dares to set a precedent!"
After Su Wu drank a cup of tea, the maid behind him quickly refilled it for him.
"Actually, after following His Majesty for so long, every time His Majesty does something unreasonable, we often get results that we didn't expect, but Your Majesty has already expected it!"
Yang Shiqi also nodded in agreement with these words.
"Yes, your Majesty is a strange person!"
Zhu Gaoying has brought them both countless surprises, but this time, Zhu Gaoying didn't plan to do anything.
"Actually, I just want to improve the relationship between the ministers in my court by doing this!"
In the bedroom, Zhu Gaotian was lying next to Zhang Yingzhen.
"But Your Majesty, if you do this, it would be too radical."
"I am really worried. If word gets out, people will have different opinions on you!"
Zhang Yingzhen was afraid that this ridiculous behavior would be criticized by people all over the world.
"Does that sound ridiculous even to you?"
Zhang Yingzhen buried her head tightly in Zhu Gaoyan's chest.
"I don't dare, I'm just worried about Your Majesty!"
"I'm afraid that the rumors outside will hurt His Majesty's heart!"
"It's okay. Some things have to change. Some things about you have to change. Of course, even if I am willful, they can't say anything!"
Zhu Gaoying chuckled. He had killed countless enemies on the battlefield in his life and made countless contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
And those little scholars who can only read and write among the people, how do they have the qualifications to point fingers at him?
In Zhu Gaotian's opinion, this was a big joke.
"This world belongs to me. Whatever I want to do, as long as it does not hurt innocent people or harm the Ming Dynasty, what qualifications do they have to comment on it, and why do they care about me, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
