Chapter 79 Tea tasting in court

Chapter 79 Tea tasting in the court

The ministers who could enter the Xuanzheng Hall were carefully selected and claimed to be extremely talented, but they were helpless in this matter.

Emperor Gan Wu couldn't help but think of Li Changfeng.

If it were Li Changfeng, what would he do when he encountered this situation?

With Xiaojiu's intelligence, maybe there is a way?

Thinking of this, Emperor Gan Wu suddenly felt that the arguments of the court officials in the hall were a little harsh, and he felt annoyed.

But as an emperor, he could only listen patiently, and he could not argue until the dynasty was dispersed, so he could only continue to discuss it tomorrow.

After retreating from the court, Emperor Gan Wu came to Fengyi Palace.

When Empress Murong saw Emperor Gan Wu frowned, she asked softly: "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know why I'm worried. I can share the burden with you."

Emperor Gan Wu rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: "There is a flood in Shangzhou, and it needs silver to provide relief to the victims and strengthen the dam. There are barbarians in the deserted state eyeing each other, and need silver and food preparation, but the treasury can only take out only 100,000 taels. Silver, what do you think I should do?"

Even if Emperor Gan Wu encounters a big deal on weekdays, he will always be calm and will not show his true thoughts to others.

Only when Empress Murong could she express her feelings without any scruples, which shows how fond of Empress Murong.

Upon hearing this, Queen Murong couldn't help but frown.

She had no good idea about this, and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and she never interfered in anything other than the harem, which is also the reason why she was deeply trusted by Emperor Gan Wu.

She also knew that Emperor Gan Wu had just talked and did not really want to get any useful strategies from her, so she said softly: "How can I understand these military and national affairs, just a woman?"

As he said that, Emperor Murong later came behind Emperor Ganwu and placed his slender hand on Emperor Ganwu's temple. While rubbing it with neither light nor heavy force, he said gently: "I only know that Your Majesty is the god of this big fight, It is my concubine's heaven. Only when the dragon's body is healthy can the country be safe and stable, and the problem will always be solved."

The originally tense muscles on Emperor Gan Wu's face gradually relaxed, and he closed his eyes and showed an expression of enjoyment.

"You..."

Everything is in vain.

Queen Murong smiled slightly and changed the topic and said something relaxed.

"Xiao Changning fell asleep when she came back yesterday. She slept until dawn today. When she got up, she could yell at going out to play, saying that the palace was boring."

Speaking of the cute little guy, Emperor Gan Wu couldn't help but smile: "There are indeed many interesting places outside the palace. Jianye's child loves Changning and takes her around to play around. He said he was a little unhappy when he said he wanted to return to the palace. .”

...

Next, the two of them talked about some trivial matters that made people feel relaxed and pleasant. Emperor Wu became more and more relaxed, and finally fell asleep.

Queen Murong sighed lightly, sent someone to cover it with a thin blanket, and sat aside with her.

For three consecutive days, the North Korean meeting was still about raising money to deal with the flood, but there was still no effective strategy.

This made Emperor Gan Wu's mood even heavier.

This day.

While the court was resting in the middle of the meeting, Emperor Gan Wu looked at Gao Dali, and Gao Dali nodded quietly.

Then, Emperor Gan Wu coughed lightly and said loudly: "You are probably already thirsty. A batch of new teas in the palace has a unique taste, which will quench your thirst and refresh your spirits."

All the ministers bowed their bodies and thanked them: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After arguing for so long, the courtiers were indeed a little thirsty.

However, most court officials were extremely unique in their taste, but they did not take it seriously.

Today, there are only a few types of tea, and the way to make tea is fixed. Even if the imperial tea in the palace is of better quality, how good can it be?

Soon, a large number of eunuchs came in one after another with trays, and a unique fragrance filled the entire hall. The courtiers' eyes suddenly lit up and their spirits were also cheered.

“Such a curious scent!”

“Fresh and elegant, really unique!”

"I've never smelled this kind of tea scent, it's so tempting!"

"I just don't know what it tastes after the mouth!"

As the leader of all officials, Feng Quji received his first cup of tea.

After seeing the clear tea soup, my eyes lit up and I exclaimed.

"What a clear tea soup!"

Then he put it in front of his nose, sniffed it gently with his hands, and his eyes became brighter: "Scent! So fragrant!"

With a compliment, Feng Quji took a sip and then slapped his mouth, and the look of enjoyment suddenly appeared on his old face.

"Fresh and elegant, refreshing and pure, good tea! Good tea!"

"Such a strange taste is unheard of!

As soon as the words came to an end, the court officials who had not received the tea suddenly showed a look of desire and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

You know, Feng Quji is addicted to tea and has extremely high attainments in the tea ceremony. Everyone in the capital knows it.

Even he gave such a high evaluation, which shows that this tea must be very extraordinary.

Immediately afterwards, the Secretariat of the Six Tribes and others also exclaimed a burst of surprises and praised the tea for its excellent taste, which they had never drunk.

This made the courtiers who had not received the tea even more itchy.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Gan Wu's mouth showed an invisible smile.

Good effect!

In the past, people used boiling tea in boiling water, then put in green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other auxiliary ingredients, and boiled for a long time before drinking it.

The taste is hard to describe compared to the fried tea like Li Changfeng.

Anyone who has drunk this kind of tea will definitely discard the tea that was cooked in the past as if it were worn out.

The sales of Xiaoyu Tea are stable!

Soon, the tea in the courtier's tea cup was drunk, and everyone showed an unsatisfied look. They smashed their mouths and wanted to drink another cup.

But Emperor Gan Wu did not give them this opportunity. He glanced at Gao Dali. Gao Dali understood and ordered the eunuch to take away the teacup.

Feng Quji looked at the teacup he had taken away reluctantly, bowed to Emperor Gan Wu and said, "You can ask Your Majesty, where did you buy this tea?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone stared at Emperor Gan Wu with bright eyes and wanted to buy this kind of tea.

Emperor Gan Wu smiled in his heart, but pretended to be ignorant on his face, and looked at Gao Dali with a calm expression: "Where is this tea coming?"

Gao Dali also pretended not to know and bowed and said, "This was purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I don't know much about the specific details."

Emperor Gan Wu nodded and looked at Feng Quji: "After asking about the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will report to all my dear ministers tomorrow."

Feng Quji looked regretful, but nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this tea whetted the court officials' appetite, Emperor Gan Wu no longer wasted his time and continued to organize everyone to discuss matters.

When the court meeting ended, Gao Dali changed into casual clothes, disguised himself and sneaked out of the palace.
