Zhao Huan was frustrated, and a little eunuch stepped forward and whispered: "Official family, recently, when I heard that Xie Sanniangzi washed the crabs, the cheap ministers and others heard about it, they went to Xie Sanniangzi's house to buy seasonings. If the official family has no appetite, it is better to try this crab, which is very delicious."

"oh?"

Zhao Huan was very moved. Over the past year, Xie Sanniang Xie's reputation has reached the ninth level. He was the emperor and he heard a calluse in his ears. At this time, someone recommended him. Zhao Huan was quite relaxed recently. He had a moment of thought and smiled and said, "Would you please do your best to do your best? It's better to give it a try."

"Why!"

The little eunuch responded happily. After a while, two more little eunuchs carried silver basins and sent them to Zhao Huan.

Seeing the emperor's face was stunned, everyone laughed and said, "This Xie Sanniang is to wash his hands and clean his hands first."

"Okay, everything is in accordance with the rules."

Zhao Huan was in a good mood. This Qinglu Pavilion was originally a leisurely small residence. This room was built in a grand manner. In the middle of the autumn season, looking at the scenery outside through the flower windows and the residual light, enjoying leisure and food, is the joy of life.

He gently placed his hands in warm water, washed carefully, and wiped them clean with a dry cloth.

At this point, someone finally presented the dried and cleaned Dongting crabs.

The crab claws have been taken down and the shells have been peeled off. Autumn is the best time to eat crabs. At this time, the crabs are the most plump. Whether it is cream or yellow, the portion is very sufficient.

However, the crab was not steamed as usual, but was washed, added secret seasonings and mixed and eaten raw.

The food culture of the Song people has reached an unprecedented level, and the citizens enjoy it in a fresh way. They have no choice but to follow the old rules of the formation, but to strive to create new things and be unique.

This method of eating raw crabs became popular after Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, and it was not surprising that Zhao Huan saw them.

However, the seasonings for Xie Sanniangzi's hand washing crab are obviously much better than those of ordinary people. Zhao Huan dug a large piece of crab paste and dipped them in the seasonings. Once it was put into his mouth, he felt that the taste was extraordinary. The combination of fresh, spicy, sour and salty flavors was particularly vivid and did not conflict. It was really delicious.

"Okay, very delicious!"

Zhao Huan praised him and continued to eat crabs. After a while, three crabs with enough pounds were eaten. However, the servants next to him were afraid and did not care about the emperor's slimming mouth. He hurriedly advised: "Officials, although this thing is good, it is cold in nature, and eating too much harms the stomach."

Although Zhao Huan was reluctant to leave, he nodded and ordered people to withdraw.

The medical conditions of the ancients were extremely poor. A common dysentery may make people lose their lives. It is better to be careful in everything.

He closed his eyes and savored it. After a while, Fang shook his head and said, "Salt pepper and sea orange, I really can't eat anything else."

The eunuchs next to him were rare to see him doing this. They smiled one by one, and they all said, "It is not easy for the official family to eat two flavors. The seasonings of Xie Sanniangzi are mixed in one place, so they can be easily understood. If the official family eats them seriously, they are much better than ordinary diners."

Zhao Huan had tried this way to eat raw crabs for a long time and knew the use of seasonings. Xie Sanniangzi, an ancient chef, could make such delicious food with great hands. It is really rare.

He was about to praise a few more words, but he saw the eunuch, the provincial governor, ban Mao Sigao, stretching his head and standing outside the door to peek.

Zhao Huan was in a good mood and didn't care about him sneaking around. He just smiled and said, "What do you see? If you have anything to report, come in."

Mao Sigao was not as relaxed as Zhao Huan. It was evening and the autumn wind was cool, but he was sweating heavily and his face was as if dead.

When Zhao Huan called in, he came in like a puppet. When he arrived in front of Zhao Huan, he actually knelt in front of Zhao Huan with a "thump".

Zhao Huan was shocked and cursed with a smile: "What's wrong with you? Do you look like this?"

This eunuch has not been with him for a long time, but he has always been diligent and not troubled, nor has he gained greatness because of his status. Therefore, Zhao Huan trusted him very much and did not look down on him just because the other party was a eunuch.

Because of this, this person was more honest and caring about every move of the court and the country than ordinary officials. If Zhao Huan had not known the consequences of eunuchs' interference in politics, he would have really wanted this person to be a member of the party.

"Official family..."

Mao Sigao was speechless, but he couldn't say a whole thing.

Zhao Huan had seen that the situation was wrong at this time and said calmly: "Say, don't look like this. I have never seen any storm. I am most shameful to you!"

Mao Sigao was furious when he was angry, but his mind was much more awake. He quickly kowtowed and answered, saying, "The official family, Feilun, deputy general of the pedestrian department, sent someone to report that the Jin soldiers may cross the river from the east, land from Longkou, and then go straight to Chang'an. Feilun said that the situation is urgent. Regardless of whether the enemy is true or not, please leave the road earlier and avoid the land in the river for a while."

Zhao Huan didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he shook his head and smiled, "What are you saying? Even if some of the enemy's troops come to attack, Chang'an City is high and steep. In the past two years, I have prepared a lot of equipment to defend the city. I don't even know how many enemies I just fled in such a hurry. What kind of discipline is it."

He pointed at Mao Sigao and smiled, "Just like this, you are so scared?"

He paused again and said, "Go, call the messenger, Feiren is really messing around. I don't know why he sent someone to send a message without any information. If I really hear it, I will run away. How will the officials and people in the world read the couplet?"

He connected the order, but Mao Sigao only knelt down and kowtowed. After a while, he said, "The official family, the captain who sent the letter, was hit by a few arrows on his back. When he arrived in the palace, he was almost out of control. He only said that General Fei's concerns were true. Please ask the official family to run out quickly before the enemy arrived."

Zhao Huan's face was gloomy. Although he was calm, he was actually worried and didn't know what to do.

After pondering for a while, he finally asked again: "Did he come to the land by himself? Feiren is doing things steadily, so why would he send only one person to the road?"

Mao Sigao replied: "He brought dozens of personal soldiers, but he encountered the enemy in Linjin. Fortunately, the enemy did not know the depth and chased after him for a while, killing most of the personal soldiers. He shot and injured the captain, so he stopped chasing him. Otherwise, he would be afraid that no one would be able to escape."

Linjin and Longmen both belonged to Hezhong Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, and were military-equipped to Yongxing Army Road, the same as Chang'an. Zhao Huan had already abolished the road system. The prefectures, counties, and troops all maintained their own public security forces, and the work of changing the Xiang army into engineering and logistics forces is underway. The elite imperial guards usually stationed in the places where the original subordinates of various routes began to remain unrestrained.

The war ahead was urgent, and in the river, there were only a few thousand garrison troops near the ferry. Without the help of solid fortifications, I was afraid that they would have been defeated and separated.

It only takes five or six days to get from Hezhong Prefecture to Chang'an. If the enemy travels day and night, the time will be shortened by half.

Zhao Huan, who was originally calm, finally began to sweat on his forehead.

After working hard to escape back to the Song realm, my business has been in business so far. If anything goes wrong, all my previous efforts will be wasted.

Escape, where to escape?

Zhao Huan's mind was swiftly turning this idea, but he was sweating profusely.

He thought he was very strong and calm. Only at this time did he realize that he was also a mortal, timid and afraid, and all kinds of unfaithful emotions came in. He almost got up and shouted, and ordered the guards of the squad, and the Mongolian cavalry who were idle all day long, drinking and fighting, to protect him and escape immediately.

It was dark, and because he knew that a strong enemy was about to invade the situation, the emperor might escape. The dozen or so eunuchs who were serving the emperor's food and drink in the room, with different breathing sounds of thickness, light and weight, did not dare to move, or snatch the bowls and chopsticks, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the emperor's decision.

The aroma of the meal and the fishy smell brought by the crab shells stimulated Zhao Huan and calmed him down slowly.

In the distant market, there was still a leisurely hawking sound. The sunset finally sank under the horizon. In the remaining dark yellow light, wisps of joyful smoke rose to the sky. It was obvious that the people who had been busy all day began to set off fire and cook.

Palace lanterns began to be burned everywhere in the palace. Because Zhao Huan was lenient to his subordinates, he never punished him. The rules were originally very strict in the inner palace, but at this time, there were laughter from groups of young palace people who were in their youth.

This laughter, like Yin Ling, woke up Zhao Huan, who was sleepwalking.

The children of the class outside the pavilion were still taming horses, determined to tame a good landed horse for the emperor.

Most of the palace maids in the harem had ended their hard work, with relaxed and comfortable laughter. The eunuchs in front of them were physically incomplete and loyal to the emperor. Although they knew the situation was serious, they could only wait quietly for the emperor's decision.

Empress Meng, Zhang Po, Zhao Kai, the officials he trusted and trusted were in the city, and many guards who trusted him and were loyal to him could dye his blood at any time.

Even the lady Xie Sanzi, who made the food in front of her, wouldn’t she be careful to manage her under his protection and expect the arrival of peaceful years?

Who would not regard him as the emperor of the sage? If he abandoned the city and fled, his prestige that he had finally recovered would inevitably be filled with water.

The army began to identify with him, and officials began to instruct Ruyi, how would this escape end?

After escaping, if the Western Army is completely destroyed, and if you want to restore today's situation, you will be able to recover Hedong and Luoyang Kaifeng at any time, you will be afraid that you will have to work ten times more hard than you are now.

Moreover, in the Guanzhong Plain, he was racing against the elite Jurchen cavalry. Even if he could successfully escape under the escort of Mongolian knights, how many people could follow him to Sichuan?

Wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?

"Come here, the man who is on duty today is here."

There was no need to think about it anymore, Zhao Huan immediately issued an order.

He calmed down, and the eunuchs in front of him were immediately in a hurry and began to clean up the mess, and went to summon the Sulang official in the palace.

Not long after, the sound of iron leaves of armor sounded outside the pavilion gate, and someone stepped forward and reported loudly outside the side room door: "Lang Guan Fu Su, come by the order of Your Majesty!"

"Come in!"

Zhao Huan was excited and gave a loud command. At the same time, he sat upright with his hands on the edge of the chair. All the timid and fearful emotions that had just passed were gone.
