Chapter 39 Kill all these people!
The next day.
It's not daybreak yet.
The palace servants in the imperial kitchen have already started working.
The emperor's breakfast must consist of nine items, the maximum number. And each one must be delicious and nutritious.
This has been simplified. If we follow the previous emperor, there would be at least 3721 dishes.
The newly appointed chief eunuch directed everyone, "Today's breakfast for the emperor is - a small bowl of braised sea cucumber, a five-inch plate of cooked purple crab, roast duck stewed with cabbage, three-flavor pigeon eggs, chicken noodles..."
"Okay!"
As the stove was lit, the entire imperial kitchen was filled with a rich aroma.
The breakfast was ready and kept warm on the stove to prevent it from getting cold.
Next, it’s time to prepare lunch.
All the ingredients need to be prepared and checked again and again to avoid omissions.
A young eunuch opened the door of the woodshed.
A cool breeze blew in in the early morning.
The big white pig opened its green eyes, arched its nose, and swallowed the cake next to its mouth in one gulp.
The young eunuch didn't notice it at all. He walked forward to get the firewood and even glanced at it before leaving.
It lay quietly on the ground, motionless.
The emperor finished his morning court session first, and then the imperial kitchen received Wang Decai's order and hurriedly served the breakfast one by one.
"Your Majesty, breakfast has arrived. I have already tried it."
Before eating, he would take a piece from each dish and place it on his own plate. Only after making sure it was non-toxic would he actually serve it to the emperor.
Zhang Chengyan felt full just by looking at the palace maids, so he had no mood to eat.
Especially today's dishes, they seem to be a little greasy than usual.
"How does the imperial kitchen work? Why is today's breakfast so greasy?"
Wang Decai stretched his neck to take a look. Isn’t this normal?
Never mind. The emperor is in a bad mood, so it’s better not to offend him. “Then should I ask them to redo it?”
"No need, everyone go out, I will be alone for a while."
Wang Decai waved his hand and asked the palace maids to leave.
As the hall returned to silence, Zhang Chengyan finally calmed down. However, he was in a bad mood and felt full after a simple meal.
He stood up and walked out of the Yangxin Palace, "I want to relax."
Wang Decai followed behind, waiting to be ordered at any time.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the Imperial Garden.
It is almost late autumn now, and no matter how carefully this flower is cared for, it still shows signs of withering.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that I really will have no descendants?"
Wang Decai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is destined to be the emperor, and he will never do this."
Zhang Chengyan simply found a place to sit down. He urgently needed some quiet time.
There were troubles everywhere in the court, the harem, and among the people, and he was almost unable to breathe due to the pressure.
He can fight his brothers, rule the country, decide life and death with a single word, and face all kinds of court issues. Although he can't handle them with ease, he won't worry too much either.
But as for the matter of having an heir, even though he had the will and the strength, it was of no avail.
at the same time.
The big white pig in the imperial kitchen stood up and rushed out of the woodshed. With the huge impact, the rope broke.
"Oops, the pig ran away!"
"Quick, stop it!"
Several eunuchs rushed forward, but were pushed several meters away by the pig weighing more than 400 kilograms.
It came to the grass, ate the cake in one bite, and then ran towards the next place where the smell came from!
"What are you still standing there for? Come on!"
The eunuchs and palace maids all joined in the battle, chasing after it closely, but they could not catch it at all.
The pig was so fat and big, its body was slippery, and it was impossible to hold it.
Even if someone grabbed the ears and head of the pig, they would be pushed away roughly.
There was a noise.
Zhang Chengyan looked up and almost thought he was seeing things.
Then...what is that?
pig?
Or a live pig?
At this moment, the pig was rushing towards him at a very fast speed!
It smelled the scent of Zhang Chengyan, and its eyes sparkled, "Hum, hum--"
Wang Decai widened his eyes and reacted very quickly, standing in front without thinking.
The pig's head hit him hard, and his old bones almost broke on the spot, "Ouch! Your Majesty, be careful!"
Zhang Chengyan finally came to his senses and immediately dodged.
But the big white pig seemed to be staring at him, and would not go anywhere else, but just come to him!
"Where are the guards! Send them over!"
The guards rushed over and wanted to take action, but the pig clung to the emperor, changing position from time to time at a very fast speed, making it extremely difficult for him to do so. If you are not careful, you may hurt the dragon's body.
The palace maids and eunuchs all went into battle.
The scene was chaotic, with pig squeals and human voices mixed together.
A palace maid was knocked over by a pig and fell heavily backwards, her head hitting Zhang Chengyan's arms.
Zhang Chengyan only felt a sharp pain in his chest, groaned, and stepped back repeatedly.
The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. Before she could even kneel down and beg for mercy, the pig came again and she could only crawl away.
"What a bunch of rubbish! Hurry up and kill it for me!"
He was an emperor, but one day he was chased by pigs. How shameful!
"Your Majesty, please find a high place so that I can take action!"
"Give me the knife, you jerk!"
The guard had no choice but to hand over the knife.
Zhang Chengyan gripped the knife handle tightly and chopped hard at the pig's head!
Puff——!
Blood gushed out.
The huge fat body fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Zhang Chengyan's entire body was covered in blood.
The fishy smell filled his nose and his stomach suddenly churned.
Wang Decai ignored the pain in his body and rushed forward to wipe it. "How could a bunch of gluttons let the pig escape? Can't so many people kill it?"
All the people who had been chasing from the imperial kitchen knelt on the ground in unison.
"Your servant... Your servant didn't expect that pig to run so far. At that time, I was thinking about the Queen Mother and didn't dare to do anything..."
Only freshly sliced meat can retain its flavor if cooked in time.
If you kill it first, even if you cook it immediately, it will not taste good by the time you eat it at lunch.
"Empress Dowager, you only know the Empress Dowager!" When had Zhang Chengyan ever been so embarrassed before? "I will chop all these people to pieces!"
After saying that, he left in anger.
Wang Decai hurriedly followed, "All of you kneel here and wait for the emperor's order!"
It's impossible to kill them all. We should wait until the emperor calms down.
Zhang Chengyan hurried back to Jinshen Palace, "Quickly prepare hot water for me!"
It took a full hour and three washes.
He finally stepped out of the bath and put on clean clothes.
Wang Decai carefully served the hot tea, "Your Majesty..."
"No need to say more, I have calmed down. All those palace servants will be dragged out and beheaded. If I didn't know martial arts, I think I would have suffered a lot!"
He will definitely get hurt if that 400-pound pig pushes against him!
He didn't want to become Darong... No, he didn't want to become the only emperor in history who died on a pig and be infamous for eternity!
Wang Decai did not dare to persuade him any further. "Your Majesty, this is too strange. How could the pig suddenly run out? This has never happened before. Also, it is too crazy. It is not right that it only came to you, Your Majesty. This is really abnormal."
Zhang Chengyan's face was gloomy. "Go and check. We must investigate today's incident thoroughly!"
A palace maid carefully carried the blood-stained clothes into the furnace room.
The emperor's clothes must never be circulated.
The robe and the purse embroidered with cats were all thrown in.
In a blink of an eye, the flames swept over and completely reduced it to ashes.
