"Plop…"
"My emperor teacher! This beef can't be eaten!"
After knowing that these were really beef, Li Er was so scared that he knelt on the ground and mourned.
The eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of serving around also knelt on the ground, their faces pale.
Ever since the reform of the Shang Emperor, the Qin State had started to use oxen to farm.
In order to protect a strategic resource like cattle, the Qin State had enacted a rather harsh law.
According to the laws of Qin, there would be four evaluations of the country's cattle every year. Those who performed well would be rewarded.
If the cow became thinner or injured, the relevant officials would be fined and punished with caning.
After Ying Zheng unified the world, he added another rule, which was that anyone who killed, sold, or ate beef and did not stop them would be beheaded!
Once this regulation was issued, beef was completely withdrawn from the meat market, and mutton and dog meat became the leaders of the meat market.
But today, not only did Chen Beixuan want to eat beef, but he also wanted to eat beef right under Ying Zheng's nose.
Chen Beixuan was the First Emperor's favorite, so he would not die even if he ate beef. However, they would be blamed for this.
Looking at Li Er's panicked face, Chen Beixuan realized that he was in the Qin Dynasty, not in the future. Eating beef was against the Qin law.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Just as the few of them were staring at each other, Ying Zheng had also arrived at the Sky Bearing Palace. Even if he wanted to hide, there was nowhere to hide.
"It's over, it's all over."
Li Er's eyes were lifeless. He had completely lost hope and sat on the ground.
He had wanted to hide, so that he could have a chance of survival, but he did not expect Ying Zheng to come so quickly. It was impossible for him to hide.
What awaited him was death!
"Don't panic."
"I have my own way."
Although Chen Beixuan was not a righteous man, he would not push the blame to others.
Since ancient times, there was a saying that merits and demerits offset each other.
At most, he would make a contribution to offset his mistake this time.
It was very simple.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Chen Beixuan didn't hold back. Instead, he put the hotpot base and beef bones into the pot and waited for Ying Zheng to arrive.
"What's this smell? It smells so good.”
Ying Zheng had been dealing with government affairs since the end of the court meeting. However, he encountered a difficult problem and had no choice but to seek Chen Beixuan's help.
He did not expect to smell a unique fragrance the moment he arrived at the Sky Bearing Palace Hall, making his appetite soar.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Upon seeing Ying Zheng's arrival, all the eunuchs and palace maids knelt down and begged for mercy.
"What happened?"
Ying Zheng was a little confused.
Why did he suddenly kneel down and beg for mercy? Could it be that I am already so cruel and terrifying?
"Your Majesty."
"This matter has nothing to do with them. I was hungry, so I took some beef to eat.”
Chen Beixuan gestured for Ying Zheng to sit down with one hand while he stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth with his chopsticks.
Seeing Chen Beixuan eating the beef in front of Ying Zheng without restraint, Li Er and the others broke out in cold sweat.
"Beef?"
Ying Zheng's expression also became a little unnatural.
If he remembered correctly, because of the importance of cattle, he personally ordered that no one was allowed to eat beef. Otherwise, they would be sentenced to death.
But now, the emperor teacher had offended Qin Fa?
What should he do?
It was impossible for a death sentence to be a death sentence. In fact, there could not even be a punishment. However, he had issued an imperial edict and written it into the Qin law. If he could not set an example and let everyone eat beef in the future, would the land still be cultivated?
"Imperial Teacher."
"You've given me a difficult problem!”
Although he felt that it was a tricky situation, he sat down obediently and picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks.
Slurp…
Yes.
This beef is really fragrant…
"As the saying goes, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. Previously, this venerable self saved Your Majesty's life, so I'll use it to offset this crime.”
Chen Beixuan lowered his head and sucked in a mouthful of air.
"You can do this?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
If he remembered correctly, Chen Beixuan had refused the reward. He did not expect to bring it up again today.
"Imperial Teacher…"
Ying Zheng was about to bargain with Chen Beixuan, but when he saw the speed at which Chen Beixuan was sucking in the storm, he wisely turned on his idle mode.
Other things could be put aside for now. Eating was the way to go.
Just like that.
Chen Beixuan and Ying Zheng were feasting on their food, leaving the eunuchs and palace maids dumbfounded.
You said that eating beef was a capital offense. Why are the two of you eating so happily?
15 minutes later.
Chen Beixuan and Ying Zheng ate all the beef and rubbed their bulging bellies. Ying Zheng burped and enjoyed the aftertaste.
"Imperial Teacher."
"Where did your beef come from? It's so tender and juicy. This way of eating is also quite strange. I've never tasted it before.”
At this moment.
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Beixuan curiously as if he had a million questions.
"This beef is naturally obtained through a secret method, not from the mortal world. This method of eating is called hotpot, which means that you can put all kinds of vegetables in the pot..."
Chen Beixuan did not lose his patience and began to explain to Ying Zheng.
"I see."
Ying Zheng nodded seriously, as if he had really understood what he meant.
"Alright."
"You don't have to kneel anymore, all of you leave.”
Ying Zheng didn't pursue the matter with the others, but waved his hand to signal them to leave.
Next.
He was going to start discussing serious matters with the emperor's teacher.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng really had no intention of holding them accountable, everyone bowed gratefully and hurriedly left, clearing the area.
"Imperial Teacher."
"I have encountered a problem that is coincidentally related to this cow. I wonder if Imperial Teacher can help me solve it?”
As he spoke.
Ying Zheng took out a few bamboo slips and handed them to Chen Beixuan.
Chen Beixuan was speechless.
Chen Beixuan was speechless as he looked at the book in his hand.
"Your Majesty."
"There's not a single exclamation mark in this entire story. Aren't you tired of reading it?”
"Punctuation?"
"What are punctuations?"
Ying Zheng was stunned again.
He felt like he had become an ignorant person after meeting the emperor's teacher. He understood every word the emperor's teacher said, but why couldn't he understand it when he connected them together?
