Chapter 65 Chapter 65
"Your Majesty, the subject is here." Shen Yu said softly.
"Come on, sit down. I can't eat meat, but I can't treat you badly. I have asked the imperial dining room to prepare according to the usual rules." Wu Junyi looked very excited, pointing to the covered soup bowls and plates on the table, Command the eunuch to open it. "After you taste it, you can also take it back to your family. Anyway, I can't eat it anymore."
Shen Yu took another deep look at him. "Thank you, sir."
Dishes are prepared according to the old recipes before the reduction. Although they are not very expensive, they are exquisite and rich: there are chrysanthemum meat, roasted chicken, sauced pigtails, and stone sheep in the mountains, and shrimp balls and tofu in the river. Sometimes, there are also some fried crab meat, stewed crab soup and so on.The vegetarian dishes placed towards Wu Junyi include eggplant cakes, lettuce, and lotus vegetables.
Only there is no fish.
Shen Yu didn't have many meals in the palace, but the only few times, except for the Qionglin Banquet, she never saw any fish.He didn't know if there was any special emphasis on it, or was it simply because His Majesty didn't like it?
Wu Junyi didn't notice his whirling thoughts, but directed Li Qi to serve him food.Shen Yu quickly declined and said, "I'm used to eating by myself, Eunuch Li will serve His Majesty."
Wu Junyi glanced at it and said, "I don't need it either, you can go down."
Li Qi tremblingly told the rest of the eunuchs to retreat with him.
It was the first time for Wu Junyi to eat alone in so many years, but he didn't want Shen Yu to feel how precious he is now, nor did he want to have others by his side when talking to Shen Yu.He doesn't have so many rules of not talking when eating or sleeping, and it is the kingly way to say a few more words as soon as possible.
"Does Your Majesty not like to eat fish?" Unexpectedly, Shen Yu's first question had nothing to do with government affairs, but only related to his personal hobbies.
Wu Junyi felt ecstatic in his heart.But he still suppressed his joy and replied: "I don't like fish, and I don't like the taste of fish."
The taste of fish... Originally, Shen Yu only cared about Wu Junyi in return, but when she heard these words, a scene suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.He quickly stuffed the bloody meat into the mouth of a little fat man, who choked for a long time, but still didn't spit it out.
Shen Yu smiled knowingly. "I actually don't like it either."
"Hmm." Wu Junyi nodded calmly, "That's just right, use it more."
The shared memory seems to have narrowed the distance between the two of them at once.They smiled at each other and looked away at the same time.It's just that Shen Yu's reaction was normal, but Wu Junyi's was evasive.
In fact, Wu Junyi has been a vegetarian for many days, and when he saw the meat, the saliva in his mouth involuntarily accelerated.It's just that he wants to maintain his dignity, and more importantly, maintain his image in Wu Junyi's heart, so he can only imagine that he is eating meat while sandwiching tasteless vegetarian dishes.
It's a pity that he can't just keep his eyes on the sidelines, and he has to tell Shen Yu not to restrain himself and eat more.He was so greedy and unable to express it, he could only try to divert his attention:
"I'm going to spend a few days to inspect the Jingwei and guards in the martial arts field in the capital."
"Why does Your Majesty suddenly have such an idea?" Shen Yu asked in surprise.
Wu Junyi said: "Bo Jin, do you still remember how domineering and domineering the hereditary generals we saw in Xiangyang back then? With such officers and soldiers, how can we defeat Xianbei!"
Shen Yu wasn't surprised at all, and she was certain that there would be a battle with Xianbei.He just said: "I remember, but the situation at that time was very different from today's. It is expected that not all hereditary generals are those dandies."
"It would be great if all the courtiers had the same thoughts as you!" Wu Junyi sighed and put down his chopsticks. "The prime minister of Daqi doesn't even know the meaning of the four characters of being prepared for danger in times of peace, how can I expect those little guards of them to wake up!"
Hearing the emperor openly complaining about the prime minister, Shen Yu did not show any surprise or flattered expression, he just said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, it will be fine." For those who are determined to make progress, and this group of people will become the backbone of the court, just around the corner.
It just so happened that Shen Yu had finished eating, and filled a bowl of crab soup with a spoon, and Wu Junyi couldn't help sniffing at the aroma that hit his face.
The last time he was so craving for meat... no, he was craving a bowl of hot soup and cooked rice, and he was still on his way south.He said: "I still remember when you told me to drink more water and you won't be hungry."
"The rice bowl is not full of rice, and the hungry sleeps in the cold." Shen Yu slowly read out those two lines of poetry.
They were just joking that day, but time has passed, and this poem is engraved in Shen Yu's heart, reminding him of what kind of life they lived at that time.
"I don't plan to be a Mingjun who will be famous in history, but at least I want to be worthy of the people and make them no longer hungry." When Wu Junyi said this, he finally used the long-lost self-proclaimed, sitting upright, with piercing eyes, It is the high-spirited young emperor.
However, the next sentence returned to the gentle tone he used to treat Shen Yu: "Your seeds and agricultural tools have saved countless people. I believe you can do it...Can you help me?"
Shen Yu also put down the tableware, stood up and straightened her crown, and saluted Wu Junyi with a solemn face.Wu Junyi didn't stop him either. After watching him bow to him three times, he helped him up with his own hands, and then clasped his fists with both hands, and gave a deep bow in return.
"Your Majesty is well aware of His Majesty's concerns. However, Your Majesty will not act too hastily." After making a silent agreement, Shen Yu warned again.
"I know." Wu Junyi smiled, "Bojin, are you good at riding and shooting?"
This sounds like a silly question to others.But they all knew each other that staying in Beijing was not enough for the people of Daqi to live and work in peace and contentment.
Shen Yu has studied with Song Zitao for so long, although he dare not say that he is proficient in horse bow and horse, but he is far beyond ordinary scholars.He replied: "Slightly scratched the surface."
"It's okay, I can teach you." Wu Junyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's the same as Go, teaching and meeting are included. After you learn it, I can also take you to play polo."
Shen Yu smiled and said: "I'm afraid, Your Majesty will be disappointed."
After Wu Junyi took care of the main courtiers, the establishment of the horse market was settled.Xianbei's envoys were also very happy when they heard that they could get grain and cloth from the Central Plains without looting in the future, and they agreed happily.Xianbei people are good at raising horses, but the Central Plains lacks good horses.Wu Junyi has already planned to train cavalry.
Wu Junyi's abacus was clattering, his mood improved, and the rewards for the envoys were much richer.He reluctantly put He Liuhun back.Of course, among the gifts prepared for the envoys, there are a large number of Confucian classics. Wu Junyi firmly believes that even one more person who reads these books will be a good thing for them.
When He Liuhun left Beijing, he was also full of reluctance. Before parting, he even made an appointment with Wu Junyi to visit the capital again in a few years.He Lian's face turned dark, and He Liuhun jumped onto the horse.
Wu Junyi's inspection of Jingwei was also on the agenda.
Wu Junyi has become more and more proficient at playing first and then playing. He only greeted Deng Xian and his subordinates, and then picked a sunny day to move to the martial arts arena.
Under Deng Xian's instruction, neither the pro-army nor the Jingwei were notified.After Wu Junyi arrived at the martial arts arena, the commander of the Jingwei and the commander of the Imperial Guard arrived in a hurry.
Seeing that the school field was sparsely populated, there were soldiers shooting arrows who were either lazy or perfunctory in twos and threes, Wu Junyi suppressed his anger, and said to the two generals who were terrified: "I want to see the guards in Beijing, and choose 20 people to go forward and shoot arrows."
Xu Bin, the commander of the Jingwei, pursed his lips tightly, and was about to point out a few people who performed well on weekdays, when Wu Junyi suddenly said: "You don't need to choose one by one, just draw two."
The 20 people, led by their respective chiefs, stepped forward to salute, and then Wu Junyi ordered people to set the target: "Show two hundred steps."
When Xu Bin heard this, his face instantly turned pale.On the other hand, Yao Zhijian, the commander of the imperial guards who had opposed him in the past, not only did not gloat, but felt grievances: they don't know what kind of stuff their subordinates are, but what can they do?
Except for the hereditary generals, most of the people who join the army are just living for a living, and they can also subsidize their families when they get the military salary. They don't have much ambition to kill the enemy and do meritorious service. , I can't even stand up, let alone hit the target.
Seeing a sharp arrow fall weakly on the ground, or barely hit the target, but few of them hit the target, and they were all scattered, Xu Bin's legs were weak, and Wu Junyi's face was also pale. Not good looking.
Wu Junyi learned riding and archery from Deng Xian since he was a child. At the age of eleven or twelve, he was able to hit a target of 150 paces. Now, within [-] paces, no matter whether it is a living thing or a target, the arrow can shoot without fail.His requirements for the soldiers who practiced every day were lower than his own, but he only saw that they were worse than expected.
Fortunately, among the 20 people, there are three or four people with amazing arm strength, or have practiced deliberately, most of the arrow feathers can hit the bull's-eye, which makes Wu Junyi feel a little comforted.He will nominate these people as chiefs or centurions, and the rest will lead the board.
Xu Bin took a long breath, and was about to explain a few words, when he looked up and saw Deng Xian's half-smile expression, he immediately lost all his courage, gritted his teeth and knelt down. "The minister is incapable of training soldiers, please forgive your majesty!"
"Master Xu, get up first." Wu Junyi didn't say that he was guilty or forgiven, but continued expressionlessly: "There are quite a few hereditary generals in Jingwei, come out and let me have a look."
Xu Bin's heart sank completely.It's over.
Jingwei has a large number of people, and there are many hereditary generals.Wu Junyi only summoned a hundred households from the sixth grade, and a hundred households from the sixth grade to the test, and there were more than a hundred people.
The performance of these people seemed to be worse than the previous guards.
Xu Bin's heart was ashamed, he took off his official hat and let him be dealt with.
Wu Junyi didn't get angry immediately, but said to Yao Zhijian: "Order the troops following today to go forward and shoot the target."
Yao Zhijian's heart skipped a beat, as if the big rock had finally landed on the ground: "It's finally here."With a wave of his hand, he ordered his army to step forward.
Being able to serve the emperor's own army is still a bit of skill, and the accuracy of archery is also much higher.But Wu Junyi stared at them with a pair of eagle eyes, and only said: "Come forward, lead the horse, and change the hard bow."
Many guards knelt down directly.
Yao Zhijian was heartbroken, and he also knelt down with Xu Bin, "I know that I deserve death for my crime, so I leave it to His Majesty!"
