Zhou Xian got up early in the morning at the Prince Consort's Mansion. The princess was tired recently, so Zhou Xian got up in person every day to cook rice and decoct medicine for his wife.

I have to say that as a prince-in-law, Zhou Xian, who is gentle and gentle, has learned a good cooking skills. Since childhood, Zhou Xian has developed a strong interest in food. It is not because of eating, but because he likes to cook.

However, his father Zhou Wentong was the Lingtai Lang in the Imperial Heavenly Supervision during the Wanli period. The Han Taishi Ling had the Lingtai Chief, who was in charge of the sun, moon and star energy. From the Wei to the Qing Dynasty, the history was unknown. The Tiantai officials of the Tang Si had the Spring Office, the Summer Office, the Autumn Office, the Winter Office, and the Central Office, each with one person, and the ranks were all under the seventh rank. They were generally called the Lingtai Lang, the Five-Secret Office, and were in charge of observing the celestial phenomena.

The Ming Dynasty, the Five-Secret Lingtai Lang was in charge of the celestial phenomena, including sunny and rain, wind and thunder, clouds and rain, haloss and eagles, meteors, alien stars, and records and books. Those who responded were sent to the supervisor and heard the secrets.

Although he is only an official from the seventh rank, his status cannot be underestimated.

First of all, people in this era are relatively superstitious. Especially the fear of unknown things is often combined with the astronomical phenomena.

Even when an official wants to impeach his political enemy, he will use the celestial phenomena to explain things. Especially the officials of the Imperial Heavenly Prison. For example, if I hear that a comet falls in the southwest, this is an ominous sign, and a treacherous minister appears in the court. Who is the Minister of Rites, a treacherous minister who is not worthy of his position. If the Emperor wants to follow the laws of heaven and irresistible, he must dismiss this person immediately.

At this time, the emperor usually thinks that he would rather believe in his own way than believing in his nonsense. After all, no one has the heart of the celestial phenomena. The higher the position and the more powerful a person is, the more timid he is, the more afraid he is.

Many foolish monarchs often believe such slander. Even if it is, benevolent monarchs are not spared.

According to historical records, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, such examples were everywhere. Even the selfless Lord Bao Qingtian and Bao impeached many ministers for this.

Bao Zheng, recorded in history, did not have a dark face and crescent image. In fact, Bao Zheng is not dark-looking. He is a gentle and gentle workaholic and a famous censor.

Looking at Bao Zheng's life, he was either impeached or on the road to impeachment. He impeached Zhang Kejiu, a Huainan Transportation Censor who sold private salt to make huge profits, sent soldiers to weave more than 1,600 camel-haired satin for him, and Yan Shiliang, a confidant of Renzong, who was in charge of the robbery of Renzong. Among them, the most influential was the impeachment of Wang Kui.

Wang Kui had served as a few transshipment commanders, and made a name to exploit the people's money and goods. After arousing the civil war, he sent troops to capture them, abused torture, and countless people were killed by them, so the public was extremely angry. However, Wang Kui had close ties with Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong and Jia Changchao, and was favored by Song Renzong, so he was fearless. For this reason, Bao Zheng impeached the chapter seven times in a row, and the last time he directly accused Renzong of saying: "I am not caring about others' words and using cruel officials. I will be lucky for Wang Kui, but what if I am unfortunate along the way!" His words were intense and upright, the court shook, and the public opinion was raging, and the court finally dismissed Wang Kui.

In addition, Bao Zheng also impeached Prime Minister Song Xiang, son-in-law Guo Chengyou of King Shu Zhao Yuanyou, and uncle Zhang Yaozuo of Concubine Zhang of Renzong. When he was appointed as the chief censor, Bao Zheng successively impeached Zhang Fangping who used his power to buy wealthy houses and Song Qi who "drinked too much in Shu Yan", and asked the court to remove the two three envoys from the two officials. Because Bao Zheng dared to impeach Quan, there was a proverb about "Baotan" in society at that time. Whenever the officials saw that "whoever had any defilements, they would say, "There is a Baotan." The words "Baotan" would spread to the world."

For example, Emperor Renzong favored Concubine Zhang and loved the house and wanted to promote Concubine Zhang's uncle Zhang Yaozuo. So Bao Zheng, as a censor, was the first to stand up.

Bao Zheng knew that it was not so easy to impeach Zhang Yaozuo, after all, the emperor was under the cover. So Bao Zheng used the astronomical phenomena to say: In recent years, water has emerged from the city, earthquakes, and the Yellow River flooded, which is caused by villains. The world believes that Zhang Yaozuo was in charge of the big plan, and all the roads were insatiable. The treasury was troubled by the help of the emperor, and the rule of law was in decline. It was because Zhang Yaozuo and others believed that the saints could not avoid their intimate personalities, but they could handle them properly and not cause crises. This was what they gained."

Emperor Renzong of Song had no choice but to worship Mingtang and changed his appointment to Zhang Yaozuo as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The officials in the Imperial Heaven Supervision in the Ming Dynasty seemed not very high, but once they lie in the hypocrisy of heaven, the emperors and officials at this time would rather believe in their own ideas than believe in them.

Zhou Wentong, the father of the son-in-law Zhou Xian, was just a small Lingtai Man in the Wanli Dynasty. However, Zhou Xian devoted himself to studying under his father's strict teachings since he was a child. Later, he won the top scholar in high school.

Emperor Chongzhen appointed the top scholar in the hall, but saw that the top scholar Zhou Xian was a talented person. So he appointed him as his son-in-law and married his beloved daughter Princess Kunxing to him.

However, the domestic bandits were unstable at that time, and the marriage between Princess Kunxing and Zhou Xian was delayed.

It was not until recently that the Ming Dynasty was about to settle down and the people were recuperating. Emperor Chongzhen decided to let Princess Kunxing and Zhou Xian get married.

Originally, Zhu Cilang and Xiao Shishi had already married. The brother was married, and the marriage of Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai was put on the agenda.

After the two got married, they respected and loved each other, and they were once again a couple of fairies. However, Princess Kunxing has always been poor, and now she has finally gotten pregnant, so naturally everyone is happy.

But Princess Kunxing is weak and her fetus seems to be a little unstable. Fortunately, the miracle doctor of the Imperial Hospital and the excellent medical skills of Doctor Sun have saved Princess Kunxing's child.

As for the prince-consor Zhou Xian, because he was already the prince-consort, he could no longer gain fame and fortune. His life was leisurely. Zhou Xian’s biggest hobby was to make delicious food.

When he was young, his family tutoring was strict, so his father Zhou Wentong naturally strongly opposed his son's cooking. The chef was considered to be the lowest among all the religions. This is why a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen.

Zhou Xian could only sneak and learn some cooking skills. Now that the princess is in poor health, Zhou Xian finally has the time to show her cooking skills.

This is a dish of sea bass stewed with Beiqi, which has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the fetus. The sea bass comes from the coast of the East China Sea, and is delivered to the capital with ice cubes for 800 miles. This perch alone is only a tribute. There is no way. Due to the restrictions of the times, the cost of the capital is naturally high.

Emperor Chongzhen gave a single sea bass for the Prince of the Confucian Mansion. Zhou Xian used astragalus and prepared a little seasoning, ginger, green onion, vinegar, salt, etc. The astragalus was packed in a cloth bag and wrapped it tightly. Put it in a pot with the fish, add onion, ginger, vinegar, salt, and rice wine. Boil it over high heat and simmer until cooked.

The ingredients are the same, but everyone has different cooking techniques. This dish has a therapeutic effect on pregnancy fetal motility and lower abdomen falling. Zhou Xian is skillful in his movements and grasps the temperature of the dish just right. This stewed sea bass tastes very delicious.
