Chapter 40 Beating the Censor
Luoyang Shuixi is indeed a famous dish in Dongdu, but it became famous in Empress Zetian.
When Wu Zetian was in power, she loved Luoyang water mats and ordered the imperial kitchen to improve it into court dishes. Later, Luoyang water mats flowed from the palace into the people and became famous for a while.
Today, many restaurants in Luoyang City use Luoyang water cuisine as their signature dish, such as the Dong Family Restaurant in Qiaonan, etc., and everyone here has eaten it and has eaten a lot.
However, since the Kaiyuan period, the imperial chef of the palace has deliberately or unintentionally avoided the Luoyang water cereal. At banquets of all sizes in the palace, there has never been Luoyang water cereal again.
While everyone was silent, a green-robed official strode to the emperor and shouted: "My minister, the inspector Wang Minzhi, impeached Xuan Yilang's evil words to deceive the public, the magic tricks to deceive the master, and the intentions are ulterior motives!"
Everyone was stunned again, wondering which censor sang.
Gao Mang looked confused, Xuan Yilang seemed to be talking about me?
Emperor Li Longji frowned slightly, but his eyes were looking at Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu.
When the two of them were the same, they shook their heads, implying that this guy is not my person.
If you are not yours, you can only be Wu Huifei's people.
Li Longji asked lightly: "Censor Wang, is there any evidence for impeachment?"
Wang Minzhi held his head up and said loudly: "The saint looks up. On the Tianjin Bridge, Xuan Yilang used magic to create strange phenomena and released two spiritual pills. This is a sign of the sun and moon in the sky. Now he named the Luoyang water mat that Empress Tian praised. The light and darkness are all about Wu Zhou, and his heart is punishable!"
Gao Mang then realized, "What a big deal, what about me."
Princess Yuzhen glanced at Wang Minzhi and said coldly: "Only Yang does not produce lonely Yin does not grow. The spiritual pill was born, and it was originally the combination of Yin and Yang. This is the way of heaven, so why should it be far-fetched?"
Gao Mang stood up and said to the emperor: "Sage, boy has something to say."
Li Longji nodded, curious about what Gao Mang would say.
Gao Mang left his seat and walked to Wang Minzhi, looked up at the other party, suddenly jumped up and punched Wang Minzhi in the face.
Poor Wang Minzhi looked righteous and suddenly suffered a critical blow. He fell back and fell to the ground, and two broken front teeth were scattered from his bloody mouth.
The emperor and the ministers were both dumbfounded. You call it "if you have something to say", how come your mouth grows on your fists?
Gao Mang rode on Wang Minzhi and fisted again: "If you eat shit, let you talk nonsense, let you sue me, the pattern of my Tang Dynasty is to lower people like you."
Wang Minzhi was not at all gentle. He was beaten like a pig's head and screamed. Chen Xuanli and Gao Lishi quickly stepped forward to pull Gao Mang up.
Gao Mang wiped his tears and said with a flat mouth: "I won't eat Luoyang water mat!"
Emperor Li Longji had a headache. You beat the censor into a pig's head, but you were still wronged.
However, Wang Minzhi should indeed be beaten. He let the elixir go with his own hands, and it is not about Gao Mang's business. It is more than just far-fetched to talk about the "sun and moon in the sky". It is simply a crime to be punished.
This kid said something well, the pattern of my Tang Dynasty and the mind of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can’t we tolerate a dish of food?
Li Longji said lightly: "How can you not eat it? Lishi, I ordered Shangshi Bureau to have a dinner party the next day, let's have a Luoyang water mat!"
The dinner the next day was not only prepared for Gao Mang. His adopted son Wang Zhongsi and some of the officials stationed on the border were all on their way back to Beijing, and they were also prepared for them.
Immediately, Li Longji looked at Gao Mang again and said with a calm face: "If you have something to say, you can't beat someone. I'm still young. I won't bother you this time, so I won't be the case!"
OK, it turns out that I was in vain to beat him.
Wang Minzhi's eyes were full of tears, his teeth were broken, and his heart was broken.
The ministers smiled helplessly. The emperor is actually reasonable in daily life, but once he protects his son, it is not accurate.
Although the censor was only an eighth-rank official, he had great power and was responsible for picking up all officials. Concubine Wu Hui must have taken some time to push Wang Minzhi to the position of censor.
What a pity that Wang Minzhi's unreasonable impeachment, although it pleased Concubine Hui, it wiped out the emperor's interest, which was very unwise.
There were two offerings from Concubine Hui before, Niu Guier, and now Wang Minzhi. It seems that the eight characters of this little immortal master and Concubine Wu Hui are very conflicting.
The sad Wang Minzhi was helped by the eunuch. Li Longji pondered for a moment and suddenly looked at Zhang Jiuling: "Zi Shou, how can I explain the word "Mang"?"
Zhang Jiuling replied: "The prosperity of plants and trees is rampant, the vastness is rampant, and the recklessness is rampant."
Li Longji nodded and looked at Gao Mang again: "Brother Mang, you heard it. I will give you a word today. How about Huairou?"
Zhang Jiuling and other ministers nodded one after another, saying that the word "Huairou" is good, which can reconcile the violent temper of this little immortal master.
The emperor's gift of the words is also a kind of honor, and many people show an envious expression.
Gao Mang bowed obediently and said, "Thank you for your words!"
Gao Mang, whose courtesy name is Huairou, from today on, I have also known the word.
Princess Yuzhen walked up with a lacquered wooden suitcase and said angrily: "What kind of style is it to fight in Taoist robe? I went to change my regular clothes."
Gao Mang smiled embarrassedly, took the box and walked behind the red sandalwood screen.
Everyone in the pavilion was free to move around, chatting, tea tasting, wine making, poetry writing pairs, poetry writing pairs, Li Linfu, who was good at music, held a handful of pipa and played leisurely.
After Gao Mang changed his clothes, the folk food purchased by Qiao Changshi was also delivered, and it was brought up like flowing water.
Gao Mang was so hungry that he didn't eat much on the road, and in order to resist the ban in Luoyang City, his losses were greater than usual.
Fortunately, he followed his senior sister and did not wear the Tianshu flowing bead on his body, otherwise the burden would be more expensive.
Facing the table full of delicious food, Gao Mang could not care about so much. He could eat voraciously and eat roast chicken without spitting out his bones.
Li Longji looked at Gao Mang's eating behavior and was shocked at first, but gradually became a little dazed.
Looking back at that time, his grandmother Wu Zetian put their family under house arrest in the deep palace and banned food from time to time. He often lived a life of starvation.
I remember that year on his birthday, his father-in-law Wang Renjiao secretly took a piece of clothing and exchanged it for a bucket of flour and made a soup cake for him. He ate all the soup cakes with tears in his eyes. At that time, his eating behavior must be even worse than Gao Mang.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Longji stood up and gently stroked Gao Mang's back: "No one snatches you, eat slowly."
The wind blew the clouds, Gao Mang swept away most of his food, and finally got eighty-minute full.
Well, I was so satisfied. Gao Mang drank a large jar of hawthorn water and fed it.
"Huairou," Li Longji, the emperor who was watching Go chess over there, suddenly waved to Gao Mang.
Gao Mang quickly wiped his mouth and walked towards the emperor.
When the genius child Li Mi entered the palace to meet the saint, Li Longji took the Go exam to take Li Mi's talent. It seems that he has to pass this level today.
Sure enough, when Gao Mang walked forward, Li Longji smiled and said, "Sima Xianshi's chess skills are very skilled, and he is almost in line with the Tao. I believe you have obtained the true teachings, right?"
