Chapter 149 Only masculine men can serve as pillars, while civil servants can be just bricks and mortar (update please vote)
Prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining strode forward with excitement and expectation on his expression.
After entering the East Palace, I couldn't help but whisper to Sun Jiaqing, the elder next to me.
"I hope that your Highness will not disappoint us this time. Last year, His Majesty planned to travel to the Eastern Capital and ordered His Highness to supervise the country."
"Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell seriously ill. As a result, His Majesty was unable to make the trip..."
The eldest son, Jiaqing, nodded. He also remembered the illness last year and the prince lay in bed for more than a month.
His Majesty specially issued a decree to invite the eminent monk Bopo from India to pray for the Prince, which not only represents His Majesty's favor and attention to the Prince.
But it also makes them, the subordinates of the East Palace, a little worried. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's health is really bad and he gets sick almost every year.
It won't work if this goes on. I hope the prince can take care of his health and don't make any mistakes again.
"My uncle, asked Jiaqing to bring a message to Yu Zhanshi."
Changsun Jiaqing nodded, thinking of what his uncle Changsun Wuji told him when he left just now.
"I wonder if the eldest grandson Sikong has anything to tell Yu." Yu Zhining slowed down his steps and looked at the eldest grandson Jiaqing and said seriously.
Changsun Jiaqing looked around, lowered his voice, and whispered in Yu Zhining's ear.
Yu Zhining looked slightly stunned. "Cheng Sanlang? Isn't he the Imperial Physician? His Majesty specially issued the order that day when His Majesty congratulated the Emperor on his recovery."
"Before that, His Majesty also gave a decree, which is to appoint Cheng Chubi as the deputy commander in the left palace of the East Palace."
Yu Zhining glanced at Changsun Jiaqing, nodded slightly while stroking his long beard, and strode forward again.
"Forget it, I'll take a look first to see what's going on..."
Cheng Chubi had just returned outside the Li Zheng Hall when he saw the eldest son Jiaqing walking quickly with a middle-aged official.
Without waiting for Cheng Chubi to ask, the subordinates around him introduced him knowledgeably.
"Vice Commander Cheng, that is Prince Zhan Shiyu Zhining. He is loyal and upright by nature, but he is quite kind-hearted, not like Concubine Kong..."
#####
Yu Zhining came to the front of the hall and saw Cheng Chubi, the protagonist of the banquet a few days ago. He smiled and strode forward.
"I met General Cheng."
"I have finally met Yu Zhanshi." Cheng Chubi said with a respectful salute to the senior official among the prince's subordinates.
In the self-contained official system of the East Palace, Zhan Shi, the third-ranked prince, is at the top of the East Palace and is in charge of the government orders of the three temples and ten commanders in the East Palace.
It can be said that the person who can be placed in this position by Li Shimin must be a confidant, a person with both talent and virtue.
"I have heard of Cheng Sanlang for a long time. The last time His Majesty held a banquet to celebrate the Emperor's recovery from illness, it was the first time I met you."
Changsun Jiaqing, who was standing nearby, watched Cheng Chubi and Yu Zhining exchange words and winked several times, but Yu Zhining ignored him at all.
Finally, Yu Zhining smiled and chatted for a few words before going to see Li Chengqian to discuss the matter.
Looking at Yu Zhining, who treated others like a spring breeze and spoke in a friendly manner, Cheng Chubi couldn't help feeling that in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were indeed many talents.
Although we only chatted for about ten sentences, you can still feel that he is a very kind and approachable person.
If this man had not fallen on the road of political struggle, he would definitely have been a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. No, he should have been a brick and mortar of the court.
Only a masculine and brave man like himself can be the pillar of the pillar. As for civil servants, they are just bricks and mortar.
"Yu Zhanshi, why do you treat him so kindly?" Changsun Jiaqing muttered somewhat unhappily.
Having already stepped into the palace gate, Yu Zhining's face darkened as he waited for the prince to come.
"The eldest grandson is reading, does the court only need civil servants to govern the country, and does not need military ministers to guard the frontiers?"
"General Cheng's reputation in the government and the public may have some flaws, but Cheng Sanlang... just saved the emperor's life."
"If you don't deal with Cheng Sanlang, it's okay to have grudges in your heart, but you are not allowed to make enemies for the prince. Do you understand?"
The eldest son, Sun Jiaqing, could only snort and salute Yu Zhining. "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Although there was no expression on his face, Yu Zhining knew very well that this impatient eldest grandson Shidu might have annoyed him.
But it doesn't matter. With the wisdom of the eldest grandson Sikong, he will understand the painstaking efforts of being loyal to the prince.
"Yu Qing, you're here..." Li Chengqian, who finally felt much better after a good sleep, saw Yu Zhining and hurried forward to greet him.
"I see your Highness..." Yu Zhining bowed respectfully to Li Chengqian.
"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince. This year, His Highness will have another opportunity to supervise the country and govern the country. If you can seize it..."
Cheng Sanlang, who is not a member of the inner circle of the East Palace, fulfills his responsibilities absentmindedly.
And my mind has already begun to think about how to make chicken essence at home.
#####
"Sir, we have prepared all the materials. What exactly do you want to do? Can you tell me everything first?"
Cheng Ji stood next to Cheng Chubi and asked expectantly.
Every time the young master cooks in person, it brings him a great surprise.
Next to Cheng Ji stood a fat man under thirty with a fat face and a thick neck. He also looked expectantly at Cheng Chubi who was checking the ingredients.
His surname was Mei, and he was the son of Chef Mei. He was called Little Chef Mei by Cheng Chubi.
Chef Mei has now been assigned to the restaurant as the head chef. Chef Mei has become the new head chef of the old Cheng family.
Of course, in front of Cheng Chubi, an unrivaled southwestern cooking genius, Chef Mei was as modest as his father.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the condiment I want to make today is called chicken essence."
The idea came up yesterday, and Cheng Chubi, who was going to make chicken essence by himself while taking a rest today, flipped the chicken breast.
I fished out the soaked mushrooms and checked the purchased dried shrimps. These are the ingredients used in the home-made version of chicken essence.
"Third brother, is it delicious?" This childish and cute question, needless to say, came from Cheng Laoliu's mouth.
"This is not food, it is for seasoning. While we're at it, let me tell you that fourth and fifth brothers are not allowed to eat at noon until they finish their homework today."
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, did you hear that? Third brother said you are not allowed to eat."
Cheng Laoliu took his wooden knife and ran and cut while shouting.
"???" Cheng Chubi looked at Cheng Laoliu with a black look on his face, but he didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, he was just a verbal threat.
"Could this name be because this seasoning contains the essence of chicken?"
Chef Mei did not subconsciously turn his head to look at the chicken coop like the handyman next to him, which proves that he is a cook with good understanding.
"This kind of seasoning will fully mix these three flavors, and its umami flavor is not as simple as one plus one plus one."
When Mei Xiaochu saw that the Third Young Master was so good at being a teacher, he quickly racked his brains in cooperation and said, "Is that... one by one by one?"
