The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 418 Prince's Grand Exam, Qilin Palace Exam
The white moonlight shines on the Qifeng Pavilion, making the attic and courtyard as beautiful as a fairy palace in the sky.Qifeng Pavilion has five floors, designed by Liu Bian himself.It took a year to complete the construction by skilled craftsmen, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources.

Originally, the imperial court spent a lot of money, and he wanted to delay the idea of ​​building Qifeng Pavilion.However, Zheng Jing continuously transported all kinds of materials and gold, silver and jewelry back from the American continent, coupled with the dumping of industrial products to various places, brought huge wealth and made the court very rich.

So he restarted the construction of Qifeng Pavilion, which was the place where he would live after recommending it to Liu Hao in the future.Located in the southeast corner of the Imperial City, adjacent to the Bahe River flowing through the city, the scenery is very beautiful.

The first floor is a magnificent hall with useful rooms on both sides.The second floor is a super-large dining room and living room, and the living room and dining room can also be connected, which can accommodate nearly a thousand people to hold dinner at the same time.

The third floor is the living room, and there are hundreds of bedrooms.They are all decorated according to the styles of various places, and there are many rooms with exotic styles.

The fourth floor is where Liu Bian practices his skills and collects treasures. Many rare treasures from various places have been filled in.

At this time, Bao Si and Liu Hao were standing at the door waiting for Liu Bian's arrival, while the others were standing on both sides of the path outside the door.Brothers Liu Jie and Liu Dun, who had just been severely beaten, also stood beside Sun Shangxiang. From time to time, Liu Jingyi took out some snacks from her pocket and secretly stuffed them into her mouth.

"His Majesty's chariot is here!" shouted the servant on duty.

Seeing a carriage slowly approaching from the other side of the bridge, everyone knelt on the ground, waiting for Liu Bian's arrival.

Before waiting for Liu Bian, Wu Luzhen first waited. Wu Luzhen stood far away and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. Please, ladies and princes and princesses, sit down in Fengge Pavilion. Your Majesty will give his family a gift. Make a dish."

"This"

"Father can still cook?"

"Didn't it say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?"

"You idiot, that's not what it means!"

Everyone chattered and chatted, and Bao Si said: "Then all sit in Qifeng Pavilion and wait for His Majesty's arrival!"

"Yes!"

"Can I have some food first, I'm going to starve to death."

This is Liu Jingyi, she was really hungry, just when she heard Liu Bian's car arrived, she thought it was time for dinner, but she didn't expect to have to wait.For a person like Liu Bian who has never been in the kitchen to cook, it is not bad to wait until dawn to cook.

"Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat!" Her mother twisted her ears and pulled her into Qifeng Pavilion.The snacks in his pocket fell all over the floor, the sharp-eyed Liu Jie hurriedly picked them up and stuffed them into his pocket.

"Your Majesty, you are a man of gold, let the imperial chefs do the cooking." Wu Luzhen persuaded.

Hearing his words, Liu Bian shook his head, put the spices in his hand into the pot and said: "Today it is not the emperor who is cooking, but a husband, a father is cooking for his family. Don't get in the way of me , go pick up the garlic."

Wu Luzhen got up and came to one side, picked up a head of garlic and carefully picked it up.Since the Han expedition to West Asia, all the way to Eastern Europe, all the rare treasures along the way have been introduced into the Han.These Hu people's spices are not suitable for the first time, but over time, they have become indispensable condiments in ordinary people's homes.

This is one of the changes that Liu Bian brought to Dahan, and those handmade products from various places enriched the lives of the people and at the same time made Dahan's society develop in a better direction.

For example, big men used to sit on their knees. After the introduction of the Hu stool, officials can sit and work.It is good for the body, and subtly, it also makes them work more efficiently.

"Your Majesty, the garlic is ready." Wu Luzhen handed the garlic to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian took the garlic, put it on the chopping board and smashed it with a knife, put it in the pot, pointed to the stove and said, "If you have nothing to do, come and light the fire."

"Yes!" Wu Luzhen rolled up his sleeves, sat on a low stool and filled two pieces of firewood into the stove.

The imperial chefs were all busy at the side. This single stove was originally used by Liu Bian at night, and the fire would never be cut off. Now it is used by Liu Bian, which happens not to conflict with the work of the imperial chefs.

"Is there anything important going on these days?"

Liu Bian asked while stirring the soup in the pot.

"His Royal Highness has been in close contact with many great Confucian scholars in Chang'an in private recently, always behind their backs." Wu Lu really thought about it, and said this in advance.

"Oh? I'll ask Hao'er later, and tell the spies in the lamp house not to get too involved in this matter."

"Yes!" Wu Luzhen's face was glowing red from the fire in the hearth: "Then the prince Liu Jie and others cast fire birds in the palace and demolished the Zhaoxian Hall."

"What? These bastards, let's tear it down. Where did the scholars arrange to go?" Liu Bian asked.

"His Royal Highness arranged for them to go to Huiwenguan. Several officials who provided information to the Kong family have been monitored and can be dealt with at any time." Filling a piece of firewood into the stove again, Wu Luzhen continued: "Ambush in Chang'an today. The assassin who assassinated His Majesty caught four alive, and there are still some assassins in the city, and the spies from the lamp house are watching to see if they can dig out the big fish behind them."

"I will inform the prince to fully cooperate with the plan of the lamp house. Be sure to thoroughly investigate the people in the court who have ties to the rebellion. Once found, report to me immediately." Liu Bian said slowly.

Seeing Wu Luzhen adding firewood to the stove again, Liu Bian said: "Okay, don't lick the firewood, the fire will be too big. Find someone to come over and watch, cook on a low fire for an hour, and you follow me to Qifeng Pavilion .”

"Yes!" Wu Luzhen agreed, and hurriedly took out the two pieces of firewood he had just filled in.

When they came to Qifeng Pavilion, Zhao Feiyan and Sun Shangxiang rushed forward, pulling him to sit beside Baosi from left to right.

Liu Hao took his brothers and sisters to salute Liu Bian, and then returned to their seats and sat down.

Seeing Liu Jie stuffing food into his mouth secretly, Liu Bian asked, "Liu Jie, my father asked you, how is your schoolwork going?"

When Liu Jie heard Liu Bian asking him about his homework, Liu Jie almost choked to death on the sweet beans he had just eaten. He hurriedly hammered his chest and finally spit out the sweet beans.

He got up and said falteringly: "Boy, baby's homework and teaching are all good!"

"Hehe, what a fart. Have you changed five of your lessons?" Liu Bian pointed at him and said.

"Hey. Hey." Liu Jie scratched his head in embarrassment, unable to speak.

Liu Bian looked around for a week, Liu Zhi, Liu Xun and others all lowered their heads, not daring to look into his eyes.These people are all key members of Liu Jie's small gang, and they expected that what awaited them would be a severe beating.

"Liu Jie, Liu Zhi, Liu Xun, tomorrow I will test your studies. I will wait for you in the Qilin Hall, and those who do not meet the deadline will be sent to Persia to build aqueducts." Liu Bian looked at them and said.

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Liu Jie bit his tongue in fright and exclaimed in pain: "Ah! Can you give me a few more days?"
