Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Li Ruian looked at memorial after memorial, several of which were in a row. These memorials either asked him to approve silver, or asked him to allocate military rations, or there was a drought in some place and silver was needed for disaster relief.

There was nothing to worry about day after day. He couldn't help but touch his brow and cough from time to time.

Eunuch Jingde, who was standing behind the emperor, saw him coughing and quickly signaled to his subordinates to bring tea.

After a while, a young eunuch came in to serve tea. He whispered a few words in Eunuch Jingde's ear. Eunuch Jingde said he understood and waved his hand to signal him to go down first.

He placed the teacup on the imperial desk himself and said, "Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

The emperor opened the teacup and took a sip of tea. His throat felt better immediately. "What happened outside?"

"Prince Ye wants to see you, he is waiting outside."

Upon hearing that Prince Ye was coming, the emperor hurriedly said: "Xuan, let Prince Ye in quickly."

After a while, Prince Ye strode into the imperial study and said, "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you," and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor's brother Li Ruian said casually, "There is no need to be so polite, my emperor's brother."

The emperor saw that Prince Ye walked briskly today, thinking that there was something good, he asked curiously: "Royal brother, is there any good news that brought you here today?"

Prince Ye raised his thin lips and nodded, "It is indeed a happy event." He thought to himself, how can this thing that benefits the country and the people not be a good thing?

The emperor raised his thick eyebrows and said jokingly: "Oh, my royal brother has thought it through and plans to marry a princess. He wants to ask my royal brother to grant him the marriage. Tell me which girl you like and I will make the decision for you."

Prince Ye glanced at his royal brother with his phoenix eyes, and said with pretended regret: "It seems that your royal brother does not want to hear this good news. Then I will take my leave now." As he said this, he bowed as if he was about to leave.

"No, no, no, my royal brother, I was just joking. Tell me quickly, what happy event is worth you making such a personal trip."

He knew that his younger brother, the emperor, loved freedom by nature and hated coming to the palace the most. There must be something big happening.

King Ye then said: "My disciple Su Yu has thought of a way to castrate pigs, which can remove the fishy smell of pork. After castration, every pig will grow fat and strong, so I want to popularize this method of pig castration throughout the Dasheng Dynasty."

When the emperor heard this, his expression immediately became serious. "Royal brother, are you serious about what you said?"

This pig has a lot of meat, much more than other animals, but this pork has always been called cheap meat because it has a strong smell. Some people have thought of various ways to cook this meat, but none of them worked. The dishes made from it are so smelly that they are inedible, so no one eats pork anymore.

King Ye said seriously: "Of course I am serious. I have tasted it and I think the pork is very delicious."

He thought, especially the braised pork offal, but he didn't tell his royal brother about this, for he was afraid that his royal brother couldn't stand it. After all, his royal brother had been very clean since he was a child.

Seeing the serious look on the emperor's brother's face, he did not seem to be faking it. Besides, he knew his brother well and it was impossible for him to joke about state affairs.

The emperor thought for a moment and then asked: "Your apprentice has made another great contribution this time. The weapons and equipment have been completed and sent to the northern border with the army. What reward do you want for your apprentice this time?"

Prince Ye said respectfully: "How dare I speak so casually, but it would be great if Your Majesty could grant Su Yu a residence in the capital."

After all, if his apprentice goes to the capital to take the imperial examination, he must have a comfortable house to live in.

The emperor pointed at his younger brother and laughed, "You, I didn't know you would care so much about others. I envy your apprentice."

After thinking for a while, the emperor said: "Then I will grant Su Yu a three-story mansion in the capital, a thousand acres of fertile land in the capital, and a hundred taels of gold."

Prince Ye kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty is thanked on behalf of your disciples."

Jingde, convey my oral instruction, "Order the Hanlin Academy to draft a method for castrating pigs, and make sure it is posted in every state, county, and every village."

"Yes, I obey your order. I will go right away." Eunuch Jingde hurried to the Hanlin Academy to convey the order.

After finishing his business, the emperor asked again: "How is your mother these days?"

Prince Ye suggested: "Why don't we go visit our mother together tomorrow?" He thought, it would be a good opportunity to visit his disciple's house to eat some braised food tomorrow.

The emperor also felt that he had not seen his mother for a long time, so he agreed and said, "Okay."

So early the next morning, just as Su Yu finished washing up, Nanny Wang came to report, "Young Master, there are guests at home. Madam asks you to go to the flower hall."

Su Yu asked in confusion: "Who is it?" Why did he come to visit so early in the morning?

Nanny Wang said: "It's Madam Jiang's eldest son, and the young master's husband. They brought three large boxes over and said they were here to give gifts."

When Su Yu arrived at the flower hall, he saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sitting next to the teacher. The middle-aged man was chatting with the teacher's grandmother.

Su Yu saw that Uncle Jiang had a handsome appearance, but was still far inferior to his own teacher. However, this uncle had a very imposing aura, and Su Yu felt that he was worthy of being an official in the capital.

Su Yu stepped forward and saluted in turn, "Hello Uncle Jiang, hello teacher, mother, grandmother, and sister."

The moment the emperor saw Su Yu coming in, he was also stunned for a moment. What a handsome and elegant young man.

This is really different from the last time he saw him. The last time he saw Su Yu, he was still chubby. How come he is like a different person now?

The last time he left the palace, he saw that this child was not afraid in the face of danger and was able to save people on horseback, even if the person he saved was just a little beggar. However, when facing the powerful and wealthy, he could still speak eloquently and argue with them.

He asked curiously, why should we meddle in other people's business? He replied that we should follow our heart and said that there are many things to do, but if no one cares, the world will become so terrible and hopeless, and how can we talk about our country and family.

So he specially sent someone to inquire about the child's background, wanting to know which family raised this good boy. However, he forgot about it because there were too many things to do in the court.

Unexpectedly, this child first saved his mother and then became his younger brother's direct disciple. What a fate.

The emperor couldn't help but smile more kindly. He looked at Su Yu and said, "This must be Young Master Su."

Su Yu responded: "Uncle Jiang, just call me Su Yu."

The emperor praised: "Su Yu, what a good name, it really suits the person. I came here today to give silver to Mr. Su. You have made great contributions in offering this method, so the emperor specially rewards you."

Then Su Yu saw him take out a dozen pieces of paper, "This is the deed to a three-courtyard house in the capital, and there are a thousand acres of fertile land. There are also a hundred taels of gold in the box."

"Pa pa", Su Yu saw him clapping his hands, and several strong men brought in boxes, and then opened them in front of Su Yu. There were two boxes of gold and a large box of bird's nest and shark fin supplements.

Su Yu felt that the emperor was really generous. Although he already had a lot of silver in his space, he really never had too much money.
