Command, the slave will go through fire and water, and will die without hesitation. "

"You don't have to go through fire and water, as long as you serve Concubine Lan's diet, Concubine Lan is pregnant, but she has wind-heat disease, how to adjust her diet is a difficult problem, you go to serve her, what abalone wing belly, moose hoof deer lips, each It’s a delicious tonic, but it must be recuperated. Once it’s done, the seat of the chief executive of the imperial dining room will be yours.”

Jia Le only felt cold sweat on his back, and his thoughts turned a few times. He didn't understand what the emperor meant. Wind-heat disease is not curable. If he eats properly and takes care of it, he can enjoy his life. It is not suitable to eat fatty fish and meat , but the emperor asked him to use the best and most expensive food to replenish the body of the pregnant Concubine Lan with wind-heat syndrome. What does this mean?

After hearing no response for a long time, the emperor's cold voice came from the top of his head: "What? Can't it be done? Didn't you just say that you will try your best to serve you?"

Jia Le thought and thought, and replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, people with wind-heat disease should eat more vegetables and fruits, and less fatty fish. If they eat too much, they will have the risk of stroke. Abalone wing belly, Bear paws and deer lips are precious tonics, but precious things are not necessarily suitable for everyone, only those that are palatable are precious, please consider it, Your Majesty."

After a pause, the emperor seemed to be thinking about something, and said coldly: "Do whatever you want, why do you care so much?"

At this point, Jia Le already understood that the emperor didn't understand, but did it on purpose. I don't know if he wanted to get rid of Concubine Lan or didn't want the child in his belly. Why would a father kill his unborn child? ?Isn't this against heaven and harmony?

In an instant, Jia Le thought of his father, and he had strength and courage in him. He raised his head to face the emperor bravely, and said: "I was poor since I was a child. My father couldn't study well. I lived on a few acres of Susukida. The consultation fee subsidizes the family."

The emperor didn't know why he suddenly mentioned his father, and looked at him in a daze.

Jiale continued: "Once, a rich lady came to my father secretly, gave a lot of money, and asked him to dispense medicine to abort the child in her stomach. mu of land, now that we have such a large amount of money, we can naturally tide over the difficulties. But my father firmly refused, saying: Since you planted this child, you have to be responsible for him. Hurting a life is a sinful thing. Can not do.

Practitioners of medicine have the belief of practitioners, that is, they must never harm their lives with their medical skills, and doctors with a little bit of ethics will not do abortions.

Similarly, people who make food also have the belief of being a food person, and they should not use the food they make to harm others.No one can see what material is used, but the sky is watching, and my own conscience can see it.

The emperor's order, forgive me for not being able to obey. "

The emperor was stunned, never expecting that a cook would dare to disobey the order, and stared at him bent, trying to see fear and hesitation in those black eyes, but unexpectedly, there was only determination and purity in those eyes, not any impurities.

"Disobeying the king's order is a capital offense, don't you want to live?"

Gao Gui's lips spat out a cold threat, and Jia Le trembled in fright.

55. Royal meal competition

I don't know whether it's because of fear or sadness when thinking about the past, Jia Le's eyes were full of tears, and his body trembled slightly: "12 years ago, my father rejected the request of the rich lady, but he himself was poor and sick, and he didn't have the money to buy the precious medicinal materials to continue his life. He is willing to do things for Miss Fu, maybe it won't be like this.

However, he didn't do this, he used his life to protect his beliefs.

The sage said: It is filial piety if you do not change your father's way for three years.

Although the servant is just a lowly cook, he also knows what is filial piety and what is righteousness.The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, but the emperor's order violates the law of nature and human relations. If the emperor uses power to force him, the slave will have to sacrifice his life for righteousness. "

The emperor was speechless, and after a while he smiled and said, "I never thought you, a little cook, would know how to sacrifice one's life for righteousness. Rare, rare..."

Jia Le tremblingly waited for him to deal with him, but the emperor didn't say anything, and waved him back.

Jia Le returned to Ye Mansion and told a few close friends about entering the palace.Xiao Bai first expressed doubts: "The emperor has few heirs now, and it is a good thing for Concubine Lan to be pregnant. Why did he do this? Maybe it is to test you, to see if you are easy to be bought for the benefit."

Ye Chengfeng thought about it and thought about it before and after, and said: "I don't think so, you think, the queen has no children, and now the three princes are all from low-ranking palace people, but Concubine Lan is The daughter of Minister Gu Ming, Su Ke. Originally, Minister Su had been trying to control the emperor by relying on his status as Gu Ming. As soon as the situation is great, if Concubine Lan's prince becomes the crown prince, then the misfortune of the relatives in the previous dynasty may repeat itself in this dynasty. The emperor also has his reasons for doing this, but he can use other methods to solve it."

Jia Le felt helpless: "I don't understand those open and secret battles in the court, and I don't want to get involved. I only know that women with wind-heat syndrome are inherently dangerous in pregnancy. This kind of diet is clearly an invisible steel knife. Using diet to harm people, I don't know." can't do it.

How can I destroy the belief that my father defended with his life. "

Several people were a little moved and looked at him worriedly.

Most people have ideals, beliefs, and some are great, but when a person's ideals and beliefs face the test of death and the temptation of wealth, it is a question of whether they can still stick to their previous beliefs.But Jia Le did it, facing the temptation of the position of chief executive and the threat of imperial power, he did not waver.

So, what should we do next?How to face the emperor's dissatisfaction?

Ye Chengfeng watched Jiale get up to pack his things.

"where are you going?"

"Of course I'm in the palace as an errand, and the emperor didn't order me to leave. Before the decree comes down, I have to go back to my position and do what I should do."

Ye Chengfeng was stunned, and couldn't help admiring his calmness. People who are not self-cultivated can't be so calm and indifferent, not surprised by favor or humiliation. I'm afraid this kind of state of mind is likely to reach the peak of art.

Originally, Ye Chengfeng wanted to stop him, telling him to pretend to be sick and pretend to be dead so that he would not enter the palace again, but after hearing his words of defending his belief with his life, he suddenly realized that since Jiale insisted on his belief so much, why should he? Want to make decisions for him, stop him?

Ye Chengfeng sent him all the way to the gate of the palace, watching his figure disappear behind the heavy palace gate from a distance, until he could no longer see him, Ye Chengfeng still stared at the palace gate that blocked them, as if his eyes could Through the palace gates, I saw the person who was willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

Jia Le returned to the Imperial Dining Room to stick to his post, earnestly doing his job well, the emperor summoned him twice, said a few words casually, observed his expression, saw that he was flattered and humiliated, without any fear or uneasiness, and secretly admired him.

Three days later, the emperor sent Zhang De'an, the most favored eunuch around him, to the imperial dining room to deliver the order, and directly ordered Jia Le to accept the order.

For the past few days, Jia Le has been anxious and uneasy, wondering if the emperor will throw him out of the palace in a fit of anger, or cut off his head, but now that Zhang Dean came to pass the decree, his heart calmed down, which is a blessing. It's a disaster, and it's good to have a break today.

The emperor's decree surprised everyone, and appointed Jia Le as the second deputy head of the imperial dining room, under He Qingdong, with a rank of fourth rank.

Everyone in the imperial dining room was so shocked that they couldn't speak. He Qingdong's face was gloomy, but he quickly changed his face and congratulated him with a smile. If Jiale hadn't seen through his intentions earlier, he would have been really moved.

Jia Le went to Qianqing Palace to meet the Emperor Xie En.

The emperor's stern voice brought some warmth: "Everyone has their own ideals and beliefs. In the pursuit of ideals and beliefs, they often encounter difficulties or temptations. Many people will be shaken. As for those who defend their beliefs with their lives, it is even more difficult. Rare. How could I kill such a rare thing like you?"

Jia Le was relieved, and quickly expressed his loyalty by thanking her.

"There are countless dirty things in the palace. It is common to hurt innocent people or even take people's lives for their own benefit. I understand in my heart that people's greed is endless, and there is no way to do it. It's rare that you are so determined that you will not be confused by wealth. I will not succumb to pressure and hurt others, and I will leave my food and drink to you in the future."

Jia Le was so touched that she was on the verge of crying, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness, this servant will definitely do my best."

"I know you will do your best, because you are that kind of person." The emperor smiled at him, "It's the Queen Mother's birthday in a month, so you have to show your skills. If your skills are not as good as others, I don't care about the position of chief executive." It will be given to you for nothing."

Jia Le had a great sense of understanding, and immediately said that he would do his best. When he returned to Ye Mansion, everyone was very happy to hear that the emperor gave him trust and reuse.The problem now is, what kind of dishes will be used for the birthday banquet next month to win the position of Chief Manager alone?

"You must win that bastard He Qingdong at this birthday banquet, and you must win the position of chief manager of the imperial dining room. Even if you can't win, you can't let him go." Ye Chengfeng gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, as if he was pinching He Qingdong's neck.

"That's right." Xiao Bai also encouraged Jiale, "Just tell us what materials you want, as long as there are some in the world, we will find a way to help you get them."

A bunch of friends helped out with ideas.

Pingnan Wang Baoqi said: "Any delicious food likes to eat shark's fin, you'd better make shark's fin, braised or steamed?"

Duke Ning Chun said: "Although shark's fin is precious, it is not a rare item in the palace. It is better to make an elephant's trunk or a scarlet lip. This is a rare delicacy recorded in ancient books, and it is rare now."
