Ye Xuan suddenly remembered something again and turned to instruct the eunuch, "Please invite Master Sun and Master Yuan to participate in the Wu Dynasty."

The one who could make Tianqi called him "teacher" but not named was Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, a famous minister in the late Ming Dynasty.

Now, Sun Chengzong's official position is the Right Minister of Rites, who assists in the management of the Zhanshi Mansion. At the same time, Sun Chengzong is also responsible for teaching the Emperor of Heaven as the left son, which is also called "Speaking the Seminar".

Yuan Keli became the attendant of Emperor Tianqi as the agent of the Tongzheng envoy.

In the first year of Tianqi (1621), the Later Jin attacked Liaodong, Chenyang, and Liaoyang fell one after another, and the Liaodong ruler Yuan Yingtai committed suicide.

Subsequently, the censor Fang Zhenru requested Sun Chengzong to replace Cui Jingrong as the Minister of War. The ministers in the court also believed that Sun Chengzong knew about military affairs and elected Sun Chengzong as the Minister of War to establish a minister of the Ministry of War to preside over the defense of Liaodong.

But Emperor Tianqi did not want Sun Chengzong to leave the lecture, and he did not agree with the second memorial.

As for Yuan Keli, although his reputation is not as great as Sun Chengzong, Ye Xuan knew that his teacher was quite awesome.

Now, Ye Xuan invited Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli to attend the court meeting, and he had already made the teacher familiar with border affairs and prepared to entrust important tasks.

First, Ye Xuan's target was Zhang Heming, the current Minister of War.

The great responsibility for Wang Huazhen's defeat in Guangning was also lies with Zhang Heming. If he had not trusted Wang Huazhen as a mediocre talent and restrained Xiong Tingbi everywhere, the battle of Guangning might not have been defeated miserably.

Ye Xuan arranged everything, gently stroked his forehead and thought for a while before instructing Wang Tigan: "List all the list of Liaodong officials and generals, I will check it out tonight."

"Slave obeys the order." Wang Ti knew that he had an errand and knew that the emperor was still using him, so the anger of the morning had passed.

Ye Xuan snorted and then knocked: "Remember, you are my slave."

Wang Tigan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The emperor taught me a lesson, I will always remember it in my heart, and I will never dare..."

"Okay, let's go!" Ye Xuan waved his hand impatiently, "Let me be quiet for a while."

"Yes, yes." Wang Tigan kowtowed again before getting up to do the errand.

Checks and balances are necessary. Even if Wei Zhonggou bites people, he cannot let his family dominate. The one who will take charge of the harem will be the newly appointed queen Zhang Yan, not Wei Zhonggou and Keshi.

Therefore, the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem cannot be subdued by Wei Zhonggou, so he can be ordered casually. As for Keshi, Ye Xuan also thought about it and just find an opportunity to send her out of the palace.

Relying in the chair, Ye Xuan's eyes were half-closed, thinking about his life. After finally becoming an emperor, he naturally had to enjoy it well, and he couldn't live for only seven years.

You must not sit on a boat. Even rivers, lakes and seas, even small bubbles, you should stay away.

As long as you don’t have a short life, it should be fine to work in the position of emperor for decades, right?

Well, there are only three concubines now, so that's not enough! With our fierce masculinity, it will take at least a month to turn the brand, which is so happy!

In the wild thoughts of the vast sky, Ye Xuan had entered a state of vagueness, sleeping but not sleeping.

…………………

Wei Zhongxian was nominally going to pass the imperial edict, but after running out, he handed the mission to his confidant eunuch. He hurried to Xian'an Palace and met the old prime minister Hospit.

Keshi usually lives in Xian'an Palace. Every day, she comes to the bedroom of Emperor Tianqi early at dawn. When Emperor Tianqi gets up, she stays in front of her and does not return to her residence until dark. What she is busy with every day is the diet of Emperor Tianqi.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor always ate the rice cooked by Guanglu Temple, so Guanglu Temple was a fat man.

The Ming Hui Dian records that every year, there are 100,000 animals in Guanglu Temple: 50,000 in the first half of the year and 50,000 in the second half of the year.

There were more than 100,000 animals, specifically, among which there were nearly 20,000 pigs and nearly 40,000 chickens. Of course, there were so many things that the palace could not eat, so the rest were all in the pockets of the Guanglu Temple officials.

But the "Imperial Food" made by Guanglu Temple for the emperor was not rare, it was just big fish and meat, and then it was cooked and cooked and seasoned.

Many people are familiar with the things made in this way. Yes, it is the legendary canteen dish.

And among the people, there is also a legend that Guanglu Temple is unpalatable to cooking.

"Wanli Yehubian" records the "Four Unreliable Capitals" popular in Beijing at that time: articles from Hanlin Academy, swords and guns of the Arsenal, Guanglu Temple tea soup, and Imperial Hospital prescriptions.

Among them, "Guanglu Temple Tea Soup" was honored to be on the list, which shows how unpalatable the food in Guanglu Temple is.

Even the folk complaints about the food in Guanglu Temple are so enthusiastic that the emperor can bear the worse and worse cooking skills of Guanglu Temple?

In addition, since Emperor Jiajing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not very happy to attend court and stayed in the deep palace every day. Therefore, the emperors in the late Ming Dynasty usually had the eunuch department for dinner.

Do you think it’s a bit strange that the father-in-laws of Silijian and Dongchang are so versatile that they can cook?

Of course, it was not for the eunuchs to cook the dishes themselves. The one who was really responsible for handling imperial meals was the eunuchs' home chefs.

The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty held great power and had no thought of leaving their family wealth to their descendants, so they had to spend a large sum of money to satisfy their desires.

Therefore, eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were obsessed with delicious food, saying that "when they were sitting and eating... they were eating and seeking fullness, eating and chewing bones... they listed fruits, drinking tea for a long time, or even seeking essence to win."

Moreover, their taste is not something that ordinary chefs can satisfy.

Because of this, the imperial meals hosted by the eunuchs were more in line with the emperor's wishes. So these confidant eunuchs arranged the emperor's meals.

During the Jiajing period, people from the Silijian were usually in charge of cooking. By the late Wanli period, there was no one in the Silijian, so Emperor Wanli's imperial meal was made by the eunuchs in charge of the Qianqing Palace.

In addition to cooking, there are also institutions such as "Imperial Wine Room", "Sweet Room", "Wine, Vinegar and Noodle Bureau" in the palace, which are also hosted by eunuchs.

The food produced by these departments is very famous in the court and the country. For example, the scattered melon and eggplant pickled in the Yujiufang and the silky tiger's eye candy made in the sweets room are all delicacies that make people excited about their index fingers.

When Emperor Tianqi arrived, the food in the palace was carried out by Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian, and Li Yongzhen, and a few eunuchs. In addition, Keshi, which has remained unchanged for many years, there were a total of four schools.

Each family has hundreds of chefs outside the palace, making food, brewing wine, vinegar, sauce and other products.

In the Qianqing Palace, each family also had dozens of close servants wearing red clothes, plus the soup bureau, meat bureau, vegetable bureau, snack bureau, dry dish bureau, hand box bureau, cold soup bureau, water meal bureau, food bureau and other departments, all of which were dispatched by Keshi.
