"To tell you the truth, before becoming an official, Shen... was actually a cook."
Li Susu was stunned and couldn't help but let out a soft cry: "Huh?"
A cook?
Naturally, Miss Li didn't believe it, so she picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, then lowered her head and started eating silently, not to mention...
The dishes cooked by Mr. Shen of Dongchang are indeed the taste of a restaurant.
but.
Li Susu was a little confused at this time.
"cook?"
How did a cook become a high-ranking official in Dongchang?
same time.
Beijing.
Xiyuan.
The spring boudoir has come to an end. With Zhang Juzheng's two sons abandoning the exam, the new No. 1 scholar who has attracted much attention from the world has emerged.
The number one scholar appointed by the young emperor was called Zhu Guozuo, and he was assigned the title of editor and editor of the Hanlin Academy as usual.
Enter the prince to wash the horse.
But the Ming Dynasty does not have a prince yet, only the eldest son of the emperor. This person will naturally become the teacher of the eldest son of the emperor and the attendant of the eldest son of the emperor.
There was a lot of discussion.
But everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the emperor chose this number one scholar purely because of his good name and because he was from Wujiang, Jiangsu Province.
Think carefully.
There is some profound meaning in it.
Now that the emperor has given in, the first national dispute in the Wanli decade of the Ming Dynasty has naturally calmed down for the time being, and the ministers have also given in and no longer dictate to Xiyuan Lecture Hall.
seem.
The young man Wanli reached the first deal with his ministers since taking office.
Both sides get what they need.
Everyone was happy.
this day.
As the attendants of the eldest son of the emperor entered the Forbidden City, the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall officially began a martial arts examination, which was presided over by the young emperor himself.
Very early in the morning.
The princes, marquises, and uncles headed by the British Duke Zhang Xun each put on their own python robes, flying fish suits, and bullfighting suits, and rushed into the Xiyuan on horseback.
After welcoming the emperor.
Amidst the thunderous cheers, during the three-day martial arts examination, thousands of martial arts candidates from various provinces entered the palace for the first time in their lives and showed off their martial arts skills they had practiced since childhood in front of the emperor.
Weightlifting, throwing, bow and horse, sword skills...
Swords and arrows flew for a while.
Cold light flashes.
At the insistence of the young emperor, the martial arts examination in this subject even included a musket shooting assessment, which was the first time it had ever been done.
They even have to take a test on strategy and the art of war.
Only a few hundred people can stand out from more than a thousand people and become martial arts scholars. They are also disciples of the emperor. They enter the martial arts hall and receive a salary from the royal family every month.
After careful observation, you will find that among the thousands of martial arts candidates, most are from the north, and there are many generals from Jiubian.
This is in sharp contrast to Jiangnan, where literary style prevails.
To be precise, among the best warriors of the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no people from Jiangnan. How could the adults who came from the imperial examination endure this?
But there is no way.
The emperor is too stubborn.
Moreover, the adults had just been dealt with by Dongchang, and the evidence of the dandy and prostitute in the family was still in the hands of the emperor, so he had to hold his nose and admit it.
So in the midst of the flash of swords and shadows, the Emperor of Heaven came up again, wearing heavy armor, riding a horse, carrying a musket and a crossbow, and jumped up and down in the school grounds for several days.
The emperor exhausted himself so much that he was covered in stinky sweat.
Rolled all over in mud.
He also ordered his confidant and beloved general Shen Lie from Dongchang Thousand Households to be carried up. Along with the bloody leather armor, broken arrow clusters, and salted scalps, they were carried up by the imperial guards.
In an instant.
There were exclamations in Xiyuan.
"This this!"
The martial arts examiners opened their eyes wide, and the nobles stood up in fright, gathering together to ask, where did these bloody things come from?
The young emperor is standing tall and straight at the moment.
Heroic and heroic.
In Zhu Yijun's view, Shen Lie's military exploits this time were no different from him personally going into battle to kill the enemy. Even the pores on his body were clear.
