Chapter seven hundred and ninety-eight of the founding of the country
Now, Li Er also felt weird.
An imperial doctor whispered: "Your Majesty, why not let the imperial chef make this pork into a dish? I once heard someone say that there are some things in this world that are not poisonous when they are raw, but are poisonous when cooked!"
Li Er waved his hand, "In that case, let the chef do it as soon as possible!"
Not long after, a full plate of Dongpo stew was served, which was exactly the dish that Concubine Xu Xian had eaten that day.
Open the lid and the aroma comes out.
Li Er couldn't help but swallow his saliva. If there wasn't something wrong with the pork, he would definitely taste it first.
Swish.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from Li Er's side.
It was Concubine Xu Xian who was still ill just now.
Everyone only saw Concubine Xu Xian rush forward, grab the chopsticks, pick up a piece of meat and stuff it into her mouth.
"Xian Fei doesn't want it!"
The palace maids and eunuchs were in chaos.
Now everyone thinks there is something wrong with the pork, but Concubine Xian still eats it.
Is this okay?
Li Er was also stunned.
"My beloved concubine..."
Unexpectedly, Concubine Xu Xian slowly refused the pork in her mouth, and after a while she said with satisfaction: "Yes, that's the taste. Don't move, this plate of pork is mine!"
As he said this, before everyone could react, they started to feast.
Li Er's face was darkened, and he hurriedly ordered the imperial chef to make another plate and let the imperial doctors check if there was anything wrong with it first.
After a while, the imperial doctor came to report: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this Dongpo stew!"
no problem?
"Bring it over quickly and let me have a taste!"
A new plate of Dongpo stew was served. Li Er didn't wait for Concubine Xu Xian to take action and ate a piece first.
Immediately shocked!
Is this meat still pork?
Why is it so delicious?
The meat quality is better than the previous pork!
Moreover, when you eat it, there is a strong aroma in your mouth, especially the fatty meat. When you bite it, the oil and juice will roll out. Li Er feels that he has never eaten such delicious meat in his life.
In the blink of an eye, Li Er devoured a plate of pork.
"good!"
"Hahaha……"
In the main hall, His Majesty Li Er's hearty laughter rang out.
Li Er was surprised and said: "I have never eaten such delicious meat. Is it pork? Send someone to check it quickly!"
Zhao Yang quickly arranged for someone to investigate.
Li Er turned his head and happened to look at Concubine Xu Xian. Concubine Xu Xian, who was still listless just now, her complexion has recovered a lot, and she looks delicate.
Li Er's heart moved, he stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Xu Xian's little hand, his eyes full of desire, "My dear concubine, your body..."
"Concubine, it doesn't matter!" Concubine Xu Xian lowered her head shyly.
"Hahaha...that's just right..."
Li Er picked up Concubine Xu Xian and hurried towards the bedroom.
A few hours later, Li Ercai reluctantly left Concubine Xu Xian's bedroom, feeling even more comfortable.
Zhao Yang felt that His Majesty was as lively and energetic today as he was when he went into battle to kill the enemy.
"Has the matter been cleared up?" Li Er asked.
Zhao Yang hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this matter has been investigated clearly. What your Majesty and Concubine Xian just ate was indeed pork, but it was different from the previous pork. This was white pork newly sold at Huxian Farm. It is said that it was the product of Wang Situ that day."
The kind of pork that cured diarrhea after eating it. At first, the pork shop sold it for fifty cents per catty. Later, more and more people bought it. In the past few days, the price has risen to five hundred cents per catty, but there are countless people.
people to buy..."
"This white pork is really good. Tell the imperial kitchen to cook two pork dishes for dinner every day." Li Er said in a good mood.
He ate that pork today and felt that he was stronger in some aspects.
This pork does have its merits!
After thinking for a while, Li Er said again: "Concubine Xian just mentioned to me that Du He single-handedly changed people's views on pork and invented so many ways to eat pork, especially ordinary pork, which only takes five seconds."
A pound of money has enabled many people to eat pork. Such a contribution should be recorded in the annals of history and should be rewarded... I remember that Hu County was a mess at the beginning and no one was willing to take over. Du He was the only one who was not afraid in the face of danger.
, took over the responsibility of the county magistrate of Hu County, tried out three major policies, solved the whereabouts of tens of thousands of homeless people, and no one died of starvation. This is a great achievement!"
Zhao Yang felt more and more regretful as he listened.
Why did you get so excited in the first place and think about going against Du He?
regret!
My intestines are so wet!
At this time, Li Er suddenly asked: "Zhao Yang, tell me, Du He has made such great contributions, how should I reward him?"
Zhao Yang thought about it seriously and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Huyi County has made great contributions to the country, why not reward him with some fertile land, silk cloth, gold and silver treasures!"
Li Er turned around and glared at Zhao Yang: "Trash! I think you are becoming more and more useless!"
Zhao Yang: "..."
He was confused.
Did I say something wrong? Why was I scolded again?
…
Three days later.
His Majesty Li Er personally issued an edict. Du He, the Duke of Huyi County, stabilized the overall situation of Huxian County and made great contributions to promoting pork. Du He was ennobled as the Duke of Huyi County and had 2,000 households in the county.
The county prince suddenly became a county prince, and everyone inside and outside the court was shocked!
You must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, apart from a group of veterans who have made great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, or who have made outstanding military exploits for Li Er's ascension to the throne, there is only one person named Du He whose surname is Duke. Originally, everyone thought that Du He was
After receiving the title of Duke of Founding County, he was already in heaven. Who would have thought that just over half a year later, he would become a Duke of County.
This sun-catching thing is going to fly into the sky!
Secretly, I don't know how many people scolded Du He in their hearts.
…
The Duke's Mansion of Lu State.
Hou Junji was playing sword in the backyard.
His swordsmanship is very good, and he is good at the lower three steps of swordsmanship, commonly known as the lower sword.
That sword was not ordinary, it was a silver sword that was given by the Supreme Emperor and was made of silver.
Swish swish swish.
The sword moves with the person, and the person moves with the heart, and the heart... is in a bad mood!
"A robber like Du He can actually be made a county prince. Is it possible that the next step is to make him a country prince?"
"What this guy is best at is deceiving people. He is not as good as a pig or a dog!"
"It makes me sad to let this man be made a county prince!"
"My son has become crazy and stupid, and father and son have turned against each other, all because of this son!"
"That's unreasonable!"
While wielding the sword, Hou Junji cursed.
The steward next to him asked: "Sir, shall we send someone to Hu County to congratulate the Duke of Huyi?"
"Congratulations? Congratulations... Let's say it. Whoever is involved with my Hou family dares to go to Hu County to congratulate me. Don't blame me for being rude!" Hou Junji was furious.
"Yes Yes……"
…
Hu County, the backyard of the county government.
Ma Zhou was sincerely happy: "Congratulations to the County Duke, ah no, he should be the County Duke now. The County Duke has already been granted the title of County Duke at such a young age. His future is limitless!"
Du He looked at the door and said curiously: "Now that I have become the Duke of the County, I am considered to be in a high and powerful position. I am the second grade. There are not many people in the court. Do you think there are many people coming to congratulate you?"
