Chapter 182 Don't look when you're hungry, look again when you're full

The rules of old Beijing are that they do not eat hot pot when they are in autumn. Therefore, as soon as the late autumn comes, the charcoal and copper pot with blue flames burned inside is inseparable from the dining tables of Beijing officials and the private rooms of restaurants.

Even Zhao Hao always thinks about this bite when it is cold. He agrees with Mr. Lao She's statement that "nothing from hot pot to chopped green onions is not full of joy." But he can't eat the authentic taste in Jiangnan. Even if Qiao Qiao has asked Chen Huaixiu to transport all the ingredients, ingredients, and even charcoal from Beijing to Suzhou, it still has a little bit of meaning.

Later, Qiaoqiao asked for advice from many sources and found out from a gourmet that the best mutton hotpot in Beijing is the Xilingol Grassland. Spring lambs that are no more than half a year old must be cut on the same day to eat the top mutton hotpot that is cooked in the pot, tender in the mouth, rich in fragrance, and no mutton smell.

But even if you transport Simon's little lamb to the south alive, the meat will still become worse due to the lack of adaptation to the environment.

Therefore, even though there is a legend that "the concubine laughs when she rides the world, no one knows that it is lychees coming", this is still a time when food is in the season and food is in the local area.

"This is a good thing." Mr. Zhao put the whole plate of sheep on his head and put it into the bottom of a clear soup pot with only onion, ginger, wolfberry. "It will make people feel more unforgettable in their feelings about the capital."

"Haha, there was the idea of ​​Jiangdong infantry and watermelon perch in ancient times, and now there was the idea of ​​Jiangnan cavalry and copper pots, which was also a good story." Zhao Jin smiled and used a spoon to mix seasonings that suited the taste from several small bowls filled with sesame paste, roe, sesame oil, white sugar and salt.

"Jiangnan cavalry? The Jiangnan water network is scattered. It is inconvenient to have horses after all. It is too ugly without horses," Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I think it's better to call it the Jiangnan water army."

"The Jiangnan Navy?'The wind was rushing to the sea during the day, and the navy was 30,000. The scholar was not sure about joining the military and put on the battle robe to the bow of the ship.' This is a good call." Zhao Jin smiled and took off the mutton from the pot, and feasted with Zhao Hao in a small wine.

While eating, he also told Zhao Hao about the situation of the court push earlier.

"Gao Ge Lao also made sufficient preparations before. He demoted Rao Renkan, Wu Shangxian, Ye Mengxiong and others who wrote to the letter to oppose the tribute, and the worst of them was that his disciple Ye Mengxiong was beaten forty court sticks and kicked him to Heyang, Shaanxi to be the county magistrate." Zhao Jin ate a piece of fat and thin mutton and sighed:

"This is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the second is to use this method to reduce the number of votes against it."

Zhao Hao nodded. This kind of court discussion that is related to national policy is very large. If you kill a few people in advance, you will naturally have fewer votes to object when voting.

"As a result, today's court discussion, the group of technicians did not restrain themselves, but instead became increasingly fiercely opposed to the tribute. They expressed their strengths such as "the great defense of China and the barbarians", "If the enemy is given a title, the people will be more attached to it, which will help the enemy grow stronger; if we enter our territory, we will see our civilization, which will enlighten our hearts." "Isn't there any example of the Song Dynasty recruiting Guo Yaoshi? "Those who dare to speak out about peace are traitors!", the crowd was fierce and powerful, and there were also nobles such as the British Duke who supported it, completely suppressing the voices of supporting the tribute."

Zhao Jin continued: "This is definitely the one we will lose when we see Gao Jiao. We are afraid that he will be too ugly and take off our anger. We didn't vote for all of them, and most of them voted for him, otherwise the result would be even worse."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded, the situation was not as good as he knew. "It seems that it is not that easy for Mr. Gao to cover the sky with one hand."

"You said this to the point." Zhao Jin nodded and said, "I heard that Zhao Dazhou was supporting the censors behind the scenes, and Yuan Fu only supported peace talks, not tribute. In addition, he directly touched the interests of the nobles, and the several parties united, which made Gaoge Lao and the old Xier lose the first battle."

"Has Mr. Zhao Ge ended?" Zhao Hao repeated the sentence and then went down a plate of cucumber strips. The so-called cucumber strips are not real cucumber strips, but a slant fiber and a straight fiber connected to the grinding meat on the inner part of the sheep's hind legs, which are shaped like two connected cucumbers. Therefore, this is commonly known.

Its color is light red, moderately fat and thin, has a tender and smooth taste, and is particularly fine in meat. It is very good for braised and stir-frying.

"As soon as the court discussion ended, the two of them started fighting in person, and the good guy almost started fighting." Zhao Jin nodded and said, "The conflict is revealed now, and we will never stop."

Zhao Hao nodded. Wang Ting, the former Zuodu Censor, dealt with Qi Kang, who impeached Xu Jie for Gao Gong during the Pavilion Tide, saying that Qi Kang was a traitor and could not stabilize the country's plan without severe punishment. As a result, the emperor dismissed Qi Kang and kept Xu Jie.

Later, Zhang Qi, the clerk, impeached Xu Jie, and Wang Ting exposed Zhang Qi's treacherous and profit-loving bad deeds, and even brought out Yang Sihe, the salt merchant who bribed him. As a result, the emperor sent Zhang Qi to the imperial prison and sent him to guard the border, and restrained Xu Jie again.

Last year, Gao Gong came out to serve as prime minister again. Wang Ting was worried that he would hold grudges and consciously submitted a memorial to retire. The Minister of Justice Mao Kai also resigned with him because he was the wrong team in the Pavilion Tide, and was afraid of being retaliated.

In addition, Ma Sen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, has also retired. He did not offend Gao Gong, but because he could not stand Gao Gong's rough work style. In addition, when the mess in the Ministry of Revenue could not be kept, he used the excuse of his mother begging for support and left as a plan.

Nowadays, the newly-received Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Shouzhi and the Minister of Justice Ge Shouli are all considered Gao Gong's party, so Gao Ge's elders are naturally very inflated.

Zhao Jin told Zhao Hao that Gao Gong wanted his other accomplice Liu Ziqiang to be the Minister of Justice and Ge Shouli to be the Left Censor. However, he was plotted by Li Shoufu, and the Left Censor was eventually appointed by Grand Secretary Zhao Zhenji.

Zuodu Censor is the leader of Feng Xianguan, who supervises everything in the court. If this position is not in his own hands, it is easy to have the dilemma of the court's promotion today.

This made Gao Gong very unhappy. I guess he had squeezed Zhao Zhenji a lot. It was not that the contradictions were accumulated to an irreconcilable level, how could a grand Grand Secretary not even be able to achieve a surface harmony?

"Oh, Lord Yuan Fu also wrote a memorial to go the day before yesterday." Zhao Jin picked up the veil and wiped his mouth, "At the moment the court and the public looked at each other. Many people said privately that it was because the tall beard was too much, so that Yuan Fu, who could accommodate a big belly, could not stay."

"Those who are useless can only stir up the fire of Gao Xinzheng." Zhao Hao shook his head. He was seven or eight percent full, so he put the cabbage heart, tofu and vermicelli into the oily copper pot. After the meat dishes, it was perfect.

"The general situation of Gaoge Lao is now invincible. Even if Zhaoge Lao forced this game back, the rabbit's tail would not grow any longer." Mr. Zhao sighed lightly. He actually had some connection with this family. But since Zhao Zhenji had already made the conflict with Gao Gong open, he could not save him.

"Do you make such a judgment?" Zhao Jin was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought that Zhao Hao was young and energetic, so why would he fight with Gao Gong?

"Then, it will be difficult for us officials in Jiangnan to deal with it. Please support the tribute. If Gaoge gets the north, he will probably deal with us if he frees up his hands. If he doesn't support it, he might deal with us now." Zhao Jin sighed helplessly: "This Jiuqing sounds nice, but it's not as good as the governor in front of him."

"Of course, it's hard to be a Beijing official." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and said, "But we are the only one of you, Jiuqing, and no matter how difficult it is, we have to persevere."

"Oh, I, the Nine Lords, are just a few people who make up for the numbers." Zhao Jin smiled bitterly and said, "But our Jiangnan officials are indeed single and lonely now, far inferior to Mr. Xu when he was there."

"It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so let it go." Zhao Hao poured him a glass of wine and comforted him with a smile: "There is a common person who is disgusted with the past, and my husband is determined to keep things firm. The best is like water and the square, and I remember the good things I like yesterday and now I will give up the donation."

"It's better to sleep alone than to take medicine. Since he got married to a teenager?" Zhao Jin smiled and continued the last two sentences.

"Hahaha!" The two looked at each other and laughed.

The best is like water, keep a low profile, this is the advice Zhao Hao gave to officials in Jiangnan.

It is said that water is good at benefiting all things without fighting, and is in the place where everyone hates... Living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind to be kind, speaking with good faith, politics and governance, doing good things, and moving in good times. Only when you don't fight, there is no fault.

After laughing, Zhao Jin looked at Zhao Hao and asked in a low voice: "Of course we can be good at Ruoshui and Fangyuan, but will Gao Xinzheng let us go?"

"At least for a short time, he will not kill us." Zhao Hao looked at the jumping flames in the copper furnace and said quietly: "And what we need most is time."

"I understand this principle," since all the words were said, Zhao Jin opened the skylight and said in a bright spot. "I will give you another ten or twenty years, so I don't have to worry about any tall and short husband. No matter who is the chief minister, I have to keep restrained against our Jiangnan lineage."

"But can Mr. Gao Ge give you so long?" Zhao Jin asked quietly, "I see that he acted decisively and resolutely, and it is really a hundred years since he was not even Xia Guixi. The country has been in 200 years, and the ministers have such power, probably only the three Yangs back then."

"The so-called "sun is full of light, and the moon is full of losses. How can Gaoge really be so domineering for more than ten or twenty years? I don't think so." Zhao Hao couldn't tell Zhao Jin, Gao Gongman had a year and a half to fight. He could only comfort him and said, "Besides, even if we have to deal with him, we will never stumbling on the main business, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be damaged... The court will no longer be able to withstand internal friction."

"Oh, my virtuous demeanor is really disappointing. My foolish brother is far inferior to me..." Zhao Jin raised his wine glass in shame and toasted him with a glass of wine.

In fact, Zhao Jin came here anxiously today, and another important purpose was to suggest Zhao Hao to join the Inverted Orb Alliance and to Inverted Orb again.

But Zhao Hao's words made it difficult for him to speak, so he had to give up the idea of ​​urging him.

"Brother, don't say that. I'm standing and talking without any pain." Zhao Hao clinked with him and said heartily: "But don't worry, since I'm here, I will handle the matter well and will not make you nervous anymore."
