Chapter 225: Recommend Yue Feng
Wu Zetian held a banquet, and Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er were surrounded by her side, and beside them, the kings of the Wu clan, as well as court officials Li Zhaode, Yao Shuo, Ouyang Tong, Zong Qinke and Di Renjie were all listed.
Of course, Yue Feng's identity could not be even in such a seat. Linghu Ye did not bring him to the seat, but Miss Xiaodie was waiting for him outside.
"Your Highness the Princess made a speech to Your Majesty, saying that Lord Yue is good at cooking. Your Majesty is very interested and wants to taste the skills of your master. You should prepare everything for you, just need to do it yourself!" Xiaodie said.
Yue Feng was speechless. He realized that Wu Zetian had a shortage of a chef in a banquet, so he asked Yue Feng to be a chef for everyone!
Yue Feng felt a little depressed, but at this moment he could not object, so he could only follow Xiaodie to a kitchen room next to the Imperial Garden. After entering, Yue Feng found that the items placed here were actually the outfits created and invented by Yue Feng.
The fire on the barbecue stove is already full, and there is also a frying boiler. In addition, spicy, cumin, fennel and other ingredients are all ready. It is really a complete set of items.
Seeing these things, Yue Feng realized that these things were moved from the princess’s mansion! Li Lingyue, a woman, really put in her efforts to this banquet!
Then Yue Feng didn't care what Taiping was planning, and immediately calmed down and started to make several dishes he had usually put in the box...
At this time, the atmosphere was quite lively at the banquet, especially the Wu family's children, who were all excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Because Wu Zetian just said that she wanted to marry the princess again, and the candidate for the princess was selected from the Wu family's children. So, all the Wu family's children at the scene have a chance. The princess is now in the present, how can they not show it?
The Wu family's children showed that they could not go directly to the princess, so Wu Zetian became the target everyone was fighting for. Wu Zetian looked at his nephews and felt very satisfied.
In comparison, many ministers and prime ministers are much more reserved. The prime ministers don’t speak much. Even if they say a few words occasionally, they will greet each other. The scene is a bit strange.
The beautiful palace maids were walking through the table, and another steaming dish came up. However, the dish was worn with a bamboo stick, which seemed to be mutton, but it exuded a fragrance that ordinary mutton did not have.
Everyone looked at the dish and looked at each other. Wu Zetian turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, is this Yue Silang's craft?"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Yes, Wan'er has eaten this dish before. How about you try it?"
Wu Zetian picked up the bamboo sticks with her hands, and the way to eat them was right. She slowly bit a small piece of mutton with her teeth. When the mutton was in her mouth, the fragrance exploded instantly. The feeling of burning on the outside and tender on the inside made Wu Zetian almost unable to stop. After eating a dish, she was still unsatisfied.
"Okay, very good! I didn't expect that Yue Silang has such strengths, good, very good! I'm very happy!" Wu Zetian said.
She raised her hand and looked around and said, "Dear friends, this dish in front of you is extraordinary. This dish was cooked by Cuju Lang Yue Silang himself. Can you taste it?
Everyone then tasted this dish. The roasted lamb tasted really delicious. Everyone praised it for a while. Even the taciturn prime ministers whispered to each other after eating. It has to be said that the Tang Dynasty had never had such skills in cooking, and even the Hu people had never had such skills. Yue Feng's barbecue patent has not yet spread.
Seeing this scene, Taiping felt quite proud, but his face was silent. She looked far away and looked at Di Renjie in the distance. Di Renjie just finished eating a skewer of barbecue. He wiped his mouth and stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Di Guo Lao has something to say, but it doesn't matter. I must listen carefully and listen carefully!"
Di Renjie said: "I heard all kinds of rumors in the court today, which are probably related to Yue Silang. It is said that a minister in the court actually recommended to Your Majesty and recommended Yue Silang as the ruling of Luoyang!
The empress thinks that since Yue Silang is Cujulang, it is just a joke and entertainment. Luoyang Order is a key position related to the country and the country, and it is an important position that needs to serve as a shepherd for the emperor. What is Yue Silang's identity? How could he hold such an important position?"
"Coax!" As Di Renjie said this, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other and thought to himself that Yue Feng was the Luoyang Order? Whose recommendation is this?
Since Wu Zetian changed the dynasty, the power of the Wushu has been unprecedentedly strengthened, and the balance of power in the court has been slightly broken. The formerly powerful prime minister system is now at a disadvantage. Among the powers of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the most important power is to appoint officials.
The Tang Dynasty prime minister system consists of three departments: Wenchang Pavilion and Luantai Feng Pavilion. The three departments each perform their duties. Any political order and appointment must be conducted among the three departments. In this case, as long as the prime minister camp is united, it can cause great checks and balances on the imperial power!
Recently, Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others have been crowned kings, and their speed of cultivating power in all aspects has accelerated, so the conflict with other prime ministers has become increasingly fierce. Against this background, their first round of confrontation with the prime minister has begun.
Among them, the candidates for Luoyang Order are exactly the focus of the recent confrontation between the two sides. Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi both have candidates whom the Wu family are willing, and Li Zhaode and others also have their own candidates in the prime minister's camp.
Luoyang Order is almost a position that everyone must compete for, for no reason, because this position is really important. There are eight counties under Luozhou, among which Luoyang County is the territory where the capital of Shen is located, and Luoyang Order manages the affairs of the capital of Shen. Therefore, although the official position of Luoyang Order is not high, because it controls nearly one million people and resources in the capital, this position is often particularly sensitive.
The Wu family's children compete for the Luoyang Order, on the one hand, they want to win substantial benefits, and on the other hand, they do not need to show the ugly appearance of eating. The most important point is that the official position itself is not big, and they have great hope of victory. Because of these reasons, the Wu family's children are determined to win this position!
At this time, Di Renjie suddenly made a shocking statement, saying that someone suggested that Yue Silang be appointed as the Luoyang Order, which immediately ripped out the fierce competition.
Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said, "Where did you hear these messages from Mr. Di? To be honest, I don't even know such news!"
Li Zhaode laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. If you know, you will laugh out loud. Yue Silang is ignorant and ignorant, so he relies on Cuju to win the favor of His Majesty. If such a person becomes the Luoyang Order, the people will probably be in dire straits and the country will be majestic!"
Wu Zetian frowned slightly, obviously uncomfortable with Li Zhaode's words. She didn't even say that she would let Yue Feng serve as the Luoyang Order, saying that she had never heard of this. What does Li Zhaode mean? Do you want to force yourself to not use people?
As soon as she thought of this, she felt a faint anger in her heart. Then she thought of Yue Feng again. Yue Feng was very mature and experienced and had a very high understanding. Wu Zetian was already more appreciated from the bottom of her bones.
But there are too many talents in the Tang Dynasty. After all, Yue Feng is not Wu Zetian's confidant. In addition, Wu Zetian has been thinking about ascending the throne and changing the era every day. Where can I have time to pay attention to Yue Feng?
However, now, today, she suddenly thought of Yue Feng, and couldn't help but feel aroused. She looked around and looked at the children of Zhuwu, and said, "Who among you has recommended Yue Feng as the Luoyang Order? Tell me what I want to say, let me listen?"
The audience was silent. Just when everyone thought no one could answer, Wu Sansi suddenly stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Sansi recommended Yue Feng as the Luoyang Order! Your Majesty has something to know. Yue Feng is really a strange person! He is not only a master of Cuju, but also has a very high talent and can shepherd the people of the emperor.
Wu Sansi was actually just a meeting with Yue Feng, and both sides could not understand each other, but Wu Sansi thought about the cake in front of him. No matter who wins between Wu and the prime minister's camp, it is estimated that there is nothing big about Wu Sansi!
Because the person he chose Wu Sansi was destined to be unable to get on the throne, Wu Chengsi, a son of the Wu family, now controls most of the resources, where is Wu Sansi's close confidant turn to get on the throne?
Since that's the case, Di Renjie mentioned Yue Feng again, and Wu Sansi immediately thought that Yue Feng had a very happy conversation with him before, and he was a target worthy of winning.
Looking at the banquet today, it was originally plain, but suddenly there was a very interesting dish. The person who made this proposal was Princess Taiping. What does this mean? This shows that Princess Taiping has known Yue Silang for a long time, and she has also tasted Yue Feng’s cooking!
Wu Sansi still wants to be able to hold the beauty in his mind now. He might be able to recommend Yue Feng at this time!
Wu Sansi immediately praised Yue Feng. Although Wu Sansi was ambitious and talented, his other abilities were really not good, and he was really quick to speak out.
What did Wu Sansi praise Yue Feng? Of course, he praised Cuju not a game, but involved various strategies and wisdom. As for Li Zhaode's statement that Yue Feng was not talented, Wu Sansi even sneered. He praised Wu Zetian's amazing move to promote talents in an extraordinary manner.
The talents of the Tang Dynasty were not those scholars who were all day long. Many capable ministers in governing the country and did not have the origin of Jinshi. Yue Feng was young and had such high strategies and strategies. It was just when the country needed to employ people. How could he not use it?
