Picking up the secret letter, Wu Bangfu frowned and suddenly felt that it was difficult.
This is news from Huaiyan and the censors of the five northern provinces.
The emperor purged corrupt officials, which was also done during the Huguang shogunate period. Many local officials were killed, which shocked a wave of people.
The shogunate was all in agreement because it meant freeing up official positions to select their own people.
But nowadays, many of the people who violate local laws and regulations are related to the powerful people of the day, whether they are domestic slaves, in-laws, or relatives and friends.
Like Huaiyan, salt merchants competed to bribe relatives and friends; land, wasteland, and fertile land were given to high-ranking officials at low prices; in business, they used the power of their masters to develop aggressively and bully others.
In short, rent-seeking for power has led to increasing entanglement in the officialdom. There is me among you, you among me, and no one can escape the relationship.
Fortunately, although these supervisory censors faced many hardships, no one in the local area was crazy enough to assassinate them.
However, it is obvious that the conflict has become extremely acute, and the cold wind of winter can no longer quell their anger.
“Let’s leave it to the palace...”
Seeing the names of several government officials, Wu Bangfu wanted to hide them for a moment so as to make a good relationship.
But when he thought of today's methods, he shuddered and could only give up.
The Qin and Chu Xungui Group occupies great power in the new dynasty.
90% of the military attaches and 70% of the civil servants were either from Shaanxi or Huguang. Relying on relationships with fellow villagers, in-laws, comrades-in-arms, colleagues, etc., a seemingly huge interest group was formed.
But it is also extremely scattered. The largest ones are divided into Shaanxi and Chu groups, and then they are divided into the Yuanpai faction, the Xincong faction, and then into the Guanzhong faction, the Northern Shaanxi faction, etc...
Facing the world, everyone will feel fat and ugly after eating such a big plate of cake.
Although this anti-corruption campaign is aimed at eliminating corrupt officials and old officials, it is difficult for the nobles of the new dynasty to escape their involvement.
Corrupt officials are like vines. They naturally climb up the big tree of the new dynasty and bring benefits.
The emperor wants to cut off the vines, curb the increasingly large interest groups, and let them naturally divide and dissipate.
However, greed can never be eliminated.
After handling the affairs of the court, perhaps after the winter, the whole world became much more peaceful. The fire dragon was set on fire, and the emperor had nothing to do, so he had to come to the harem.
The one who remains favored is the Mongolian concubine Qiqige.
But Qiqige said that this was the first time that Qiqige had the honor to dine with the emperor. It was only when she entered the palace that she realized the so-called "wealth of the heavenly family".
There are at least twenty or thirty kinds of dishes placed on a large rectangular table. The tableware is a type of fine porcelain covered sea bowl with vermilion characters, or a large plate with a diameter of nearly a foot.
In addition, there are four small dining tables, which are respectively placed with snacks, side dishes, hot pot and porridge meals. Meals are not allowed to be called rice but called 'din'. Eating is not allowed to be called 'eating' but called 'jin', so eating is called 'dining'.
'.
Qiqige sat there nervously. The palace maid handed over the heavy gold toothbrush, and at the same time looked at where the emperor looked and read the name of the dish.
Such a way of eating is something that is unimaginable in Qiqige.
She was still a young person, and under the gaze of so many people, she really hesitated to lift her chopsticks and couldn't eat. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene of offering sacrifices in the temple, and she couldn't help but laugh, and almost laughed out loud.
.
The chamberlains had never seen such a rude concubine before. Every one of them was so angry that their brows were twitching and their eyes were almost cannibalistic.
Zhu Yixi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Looking at so many dishes, it is indeed a waste."
"But there is no other way. The emperor has no control over others. He can't let others take away his preferences and have no choice but to act like this."
As he spoke, he pointed helplessly at the silver medal in the bowl, as if it were a bookmark, lying in every dish:
“It is said that it is designed to prevent poisoning. If the food is poisoned, the silver medal will turn black if it touches the food. It is nonsense.”
This time, Qiqige smiled even more cheerfully, and the depression she had felt for many days was gone.
Having said that, Zhu Yixi never let anyone take the silver medal.
He knows why, but no one else does.
In a sense, this is also a deterrent.
For other matters such as tasting vegetables, he also followed the rules. When he ate, he also stir-fried the vegetables, but steamed them after they were cooled.
Only when he was alone did he turn on a small stove and look at it before his eyes, and then his heart relaxed.
Seeing that the emperor's face was also full of smiles, the servants breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this Mongolian concubine was the emperor's pistachio and relieved his boredom.
Qiqige is a down-to-earth person, or it may be due to the Mongolian people's frugal style. She has to puff up her face and work hard to eat more, like a diligent little hamster, with no etiquette, and is extremely cute.
It’s just that the meal was so rich that even if I tasted it briefly, I couldn’t even taste a third of it before I felt extremely full. The meal took a full hour.
The chamberlains looked at this Mongolian woman in amazement, who just immersed herself in eating. They were eating together with the emperor. Are you really just immersing yourself in eating?
What made them even more impressed was that the emperor actually let her mess around and watched with relish.
Zhu Yixi really looked at it and quickly put down the bowl.
This is a live mukbang, not to mention very appetizing, he is very energetic.
“Your Majesty, why don’t you eat?” Qiqige puffed her mouth, put down the bowl quickly, and raised her head and asked.
Zhu Yixi was stunned: "Okay, I'll eat, I'll eat."
After saying that, we just watched and cooked.
After eating, rinse your mouth to end the meal.
