The Master of the Kingdom

The quality of Su Yi's full cattle banquet is very high.

Although the chefs here have not cooked similar dishes, after a brief explanation, the cooks made the finished products even for the picky Suyi.

It can only be said that things like culinary art are largely common. Especially for this kind of home cooking, it is not difficult for them to make a fairly good taste.

Of course, it tastes pretty good, and it certainly can't keep up with modern chefs. But this was enough to shock the ancients who lacked seasonings.

In particular, there are many ingredients that have never been tasted. Tomatoes, potatoes, radishes, sweet potatoes, etc., do not eat the same, they will marvel for a long time, and express their inner sigh in gorgeous language.

However, all this was dumb in the wind of the emperor's majesty.

When they praised the sweet and sour sirloin stewed with tomatoes, the emperor’s chopsticks picked up three large sirloins;

When they praised the potato roast beef that melted in the mouth, His Majesty the Emperor scooped away a half of the potatoes;

They praised the carrot...

No, they stopped complimenting, they began to bury their heads and suffer.

If it were the rest, they could still say something ironic about poor education and rude eating. But the opposite is the emperor anyhow, even if they are slanderous, they dare not say it.

His Majesty the Emperor wiped his mouth, and added fuel to the flames, saying that these two little boys are too shameful, and they are not like their elders at all.

His Majesty the emperor was happy to eat and began to recall the past. The Wang family snatched a pork leg from him (no one said pork was unpalatable during the march), and the Wei family ate two rabbits stealthily and was about to eat the third one alone. When he was chased and beaten by other generals.

In the words of the emperor, all his subordinates are gods who can eat a cow without being hungry.

They actually secretly took the bulls that the enemy generals were pulling carts and ate them among the spoils.

Su Yi couldn't help but sum up: "The rice field is like a battlefield."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded frequently: "Yes, that's right, Su Daochang's words are extremely true."

Then His Majesty the Emperor once again said to Wang Boyuan and Wei Teng: "You are really too weak, you don't have the demeanor of the elders at all."

Wang Boyuan and Wei Teng were in a mess in the wind. Although the Wang family and the Wei family are both aristocratic families, they can know from their current firm position of the imperial party that before the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, they were the subordinates of the royal family, and even the subordinates of the current emperor.

Therefore, the members of the Wang family and the Wei family have indeed followed the current emperor's conquests from the south to the north.

However, Wang Boyuan and Wei Wei were not the eldest sons of the family. Although they were about the same age as Mu Yan, Mu Yan followed the emperor when he was a teenager and made great contributions, making him the youngest general in the Yu Dynasty.

The two of them stayed at home to read and study, and they didn't feel the least of the war.

Compared with the hard hiding of the royal family members, the lives of these family members are obviously much better. In order to contend for the world, the royal family will also give priority to receiving the families of these subordinates into their territory.

From Su Yi's point of view, this is considered scumbag to his family. But at the time, this was a very convincing move, and it was a symbol of benevolence.

Every founding emperor in history was ruthless about his personal affairs, and he was a model of scumbag in his personal virtues.

But these people are often Mingjun praised by the world.

His Majesty the emperor is actually much better, which probably has something to do with him not being the founding king, but the first emperor. Therefore, many of the actions of pretending to be black faces were made by the first emperor.

It is a pity that the first emperor went on the eve of his ascension to the throne, and he failed to actually hold the enthronement ceremony. However, he was named the great ancestor of the current dynasty, and he was also regarded as the founding emperor.

What Wang Boyuan and Wei Teng have always received is the elite education of the nobles of the family, and what they have heard is the teaching that the nobles of the family must be beautiful and pretend to be coercive.

Now suddenly learned that the elders and brothers they feared or admired had such a face, and they were a bit unacceptable.

So the two who were actually still tender, after returning home, were full of thoughts about "Is the elders/brothers really like that?", and put the new ingredients for the time being.

This is not to blame them. This time Su Yi just prepared the food and took it out without explaining his habits. So these two people didn't care much.

After the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains introduced many unseen ingredients and seasonings. Now the rule of the Yu Dynasty has gradually stabilized, and foreign trade has begun to recover, so they often see many new things.

In fact, Wei Teng paid a little attention. Before Su Yi talked about high-yield food crops that do not choose the soil, Wei Teng wanted to ask whether these food ingredients are the same.

But Su Yi did not explain this time, the emperor is here again, and Wei Wei is also a good person, and he does not want to cause trouble to Su Yi—he knows the importance of these foods to Yu Chao. So there was no question this time.

After that, he was shocked by the deeds of his elders and brothers, and he didn't think about it for the time being.

The most important thing Su Yi said about overseas scenery and minerals was minerals. The two did not forget, and they turned around and talked to their family members.

But these people, like His Majesty the Emperor, just sighed after knowing that they couldn't go there, and didn't think about it anymore.

They are not people who are not adventurous. If they know that it is possible to investigate it, they will definitely go. But since Su Yi said that he couldn't go there, he must be unable to go.

After all, it would be no good for Su Yi to stop others from going there.

Moreover, Su Yi's reputation became even stronger after the Chen family's affairs. Especially after he explained the methods of mystical metaphysics in a language that ordinary people could understand, those people felt that Su Yi was even more miraculous.

What is this called? Lifting weights lightly?

Therefore, although the Chen family wanted to conceal the matter about Su Yi in the Chen family, he still failed to conceal it.

Chen Zhong felt a lot of guilt in his heart, and he treated Su Yi even better.

As for many alchemists who gradually hate Su Yi, after all, breaking their jobs and cutting money is like killing their father and their mother. They have been secretly waiting for the opportunity to avenge Su Yi. That... is also a later story.

Su Yi is too much, even if there is an invitation from the so-called master of Taoism, he refuses all mercilessly. It's useless for anyone to excite.

In this era, no one has dared to run in front of people's gates and call for demonstrations.

Thanks to the hierarchical feudal society for providing personal protection to Su Yi.

Mu Yan and the prince have been eating this meal with fear. The two of them concealed the matter of the new crop. They thought it would be leaked when Su Yi made a bobo chicken, but they didn't expect that there was no rumor from those aristocratic families.

Today the emperor has eaten new food crops, and this is definitely not something to hide.

But what I didn't expect was that the emperor just left without asking too much.

The prince wondered, is it because the eldest brother didn't mention the characteristics of the new crop this time, so the father didn't ask more?

Mu Yan is not as silly and sweet as the prince. He knew that since the Han Dynasty opened up foreign trade, the emperor's original purpose was not for his own enjoyment, but to go overseas to find useful items for the people.

The emperor has the appearance of a heyday monarch, and his sensitivity will not be so low.

Sure enough, when he was on duty the next day, the emperor called Mu Yan and asked about it.

After learning that this crop has not yet a large amount of seeds for planting, the emperor scolded with a smile: "I know that I am really interested in Yuchao. Wouldn't Kangle say anything? But even if it only has a small amount, it can be planted. Let the farmers try to plant it first, and Kangle will eat it like this."

Seeing that the emperor was not only lifeless, but also conniving, Mu Yan felt quite settled.

"Su Daochang originally intended to offer it, but now maybe it is just deliberately made into dishes." Mu Yan said.

The emperor nodded and said: "I have eaten it, knowing that it is edible, and it is delicious, then it will not be difficult to promote it. It is worthy of recreation."

After the emperor got the exact information, he stopped asking more questions, and instead asked Mu Yan to keep it secret, so he didn't know.

"There is no need to say more about the prince, let's see how much he can realize." When the emperor talked about the prince, a flick of helplessness flashed between his eyebrows, "Kang Le has become more and more famous recently, and there are more and more monks and alchemists. If you want to become famous through Kangle, you can bear it a little bit more, but don't let him get rid of it."

"Weichen abides by the decree." Mu Yan said.

The emperor asked more about Su Yi's daily life. After hearing that he had been invited by the Chen family, and never stepping out, the emperor sighed for a long time, making Mu Yan retreat with a gloomy expression.

Mu Yan was used to it. Since Su Yi lived next door to him, the emperor had to inquire about Mu Yan Su Yi's life every few days. Others thought what else the emperor was planning.

If it hadn't been for the emperor's instructions, with Mu Yan's arrogance, even if he was curious about Su Yi's magical methods, he would not visit him on the first day.

But now even without the emperor's order, Mu Yan is reporting every day, to pester Su Yi to listen to the "story".

In this regard, Su Yi said that there is a reason for him not to give Mu Yan a good face.

He is not Mr. Storytelling.

The emperor had a strong control over his surroundings. He and his officials discussed the affairs of the previous dynasty. Except for those who discussed the same thing, no one else could search for the news.

Therefore, only Mu Yan knew the emperor's concern for Su Yi. Even the eunuchs and maids who were serving were waiting outside the door.

And these people, even if they hear it, they won't disclose it to others.

It was precisely because of the emperor's secret attention to Su Yi that Mu Yan felt that Su Yi was more than just a magical Taoist priest.

But Mu Yan didn't intend to explore Su Yi's life experience either. Sometimes, knowing too much is not good for oneself. As long as he knows that Su Yi is an interesting person, it is enough to communicate.

The emperor deliberately concealed the matter, especially the prince and Mu Yan. They hope that Su Yi can live a quiet life for a while.

New Year's Eve is about to come anyway, or Su Yi's first year in the capital, anyway, a clean year.

But people are not as good as heaven, even if Su Yi is so low-key, there is still something to come to the door.

As mentioned earlier, after the Zhang family of Tianshidao was defeated and reconciled, the Zhang family moved to the capital.

Although the emperor did not recognize the Tao of Tianshi, and the Zhang family kept a low profile, believers in the Tao of Tianshi still existed and continued to teach by the Tao of Tianshi. Before Su Yi came to Beijing, Tianshi Taoism was still the most powerful branch of Taoism and was highly respected by the upper-class nobles.

But when Su Yi came and was entrusted with the Heavenly Master, their life was not so easy.
