The Travelers of the Heavens

When Chu Bufan learned that the prisoner was actually Count Macartney, he was not easy to deal with for a while, so he asked the soldiers to entertain Macartney well and returned to Luoyi to ask Wang Yu for instructions.

"A lost envoy? This is not easy to handle." Wang Yu frowned and said

"I thought it would be better to send them out of the country as gifts to avoid getting into trouble. Great Britain has a powerful naval fleet, which is not easy to deal with," Chu Bufan said

"snort! It's just Great Britain, who is it? Go back and ask that Macartney where he came from. If he came from the big rooster, kill them all and destroy the corpses." Wang Yu said

"why is that?"Chu Bufan was puzzled.

"The Qing Empire next door will take the blame for us," Wang Yu said again

"Yes, I know." Chu Bufan returned to Donglai.

Sure enough, Macartney had already gone to Rooster Land. Without saying a word, Chu Bufan asked the soldiers to shoot all the British envoys and then destroy their bodies. All traces of it were destroyed.

As for the things brought by the envoy, Chu Bufan transported them back to Luoyi and handed them over to Wang Yu.

In Luoyi, in the garden of Taishi Mansion.

There were many Western goods on display, including pianos, Western nightcaps and pajamas, and Smoothbore cannons, flintlock muskets, and suspected steam engine models were not all there, but they were all dazzling, attracting the passing maids to look at them.

"What are these?"The setting up of a stall in the garden alarmed the Moon Goddess. When she came to the garden to take a look, her eyes suddenly darkened. The beautiful garden was in trouble.

"I pay homage to the Grand Master. A group of Western pirates were wiped out by our navy in Donglai. These are the stolen goods captured." Chu Bufan first said hello and then made up a story.

"Since it is stolen property, it should be sent to Tingwei Mansion for disposal. How did it get into my garden?" Moon God was slightly angry and asked

"Haha, Moon God, don't worry, these stolen goods are all authentic Western goods, let's also see the wonderful uses of them." Wang Yu said with a smile

"Huh." Hearing this, the Moon God snorted coldly and did not accept Wang Yu's words.

"What's this?"Chi Lian quickly took a metal can and smelled it, then looked at the foreign characters on the can and asked

"This seems to be chocolate, a kind of food." Chu Bufan, who understands foreign languages, explained to Chi Lian

"What is chocolate?"Chi Lian doesn't know what chocolate is. Although she has eaten a lot of Western food made by Liu Angxing for her, this is the first time she has heard of chocolate.

"Open it for her and take a look," Wang Yu said to Chu Bufan.

Then Chu Bufan opened the lid of the metal can with great effort, and it was filled with a black mud-like paste.

It turned out that it was made from the chocolate blocks inside. Confused

"Is this thing edible?"Seeing the mushy chocolate, Chi Lian immediately felt disgusted.

"Haha, this thing is worth a lot of money." Chu Bufan dug out a small piece with his fingers, tasted it, and said with a smile. He felt that it tasted pretty good, with a little sweetness, and it would be even better if milk was added.

Now Chocolate at that time had not been around for a long time, and its production volume was not large, so it was relatively expensive in the Western world.

"Is it delicious?"Chi Lian asked Chu Bufan

"You'll know after you try it." Chu Bufan teased Chi Lian

"Go," Chi Lian said angrily.

Then she took the can of chocolate to Liu Angxing and asked him to help her taste this"high-end ingredient."

"This is wine, these should all be wines," Chu Bufan said as he came to dozens of wooden pot-bellied barrels.

"Is it wine?"Wang Yu asked

"I don’t know, but if it’s for the big rooster, it should be wine; if it’s for the sailors on the ship, it should be rum," Chu Bufan said.

"Open a bucket and let everyone have a taste," Wang Yu said

"Poof! What does it smell like?" Yan Lingji took a sip of the so-called wine and immediately vomited it.

"Isn't that good?" Wang Yu also shook his head.

"I think it’s okay." Chu Bufan actually thinks it’s good.

"Haha, Luna, do you want to take a bite too?"Wang Yu once again encouraged the moon god to drink this drink that looked like wine.

"Forget it, I don’t drink." Luna immediately refused.

"If Dr. Chu thinks it tastes good, then all the wine will be given to Dr. Chu." Seeing that Chu Bufan drank with gusto, the Moon God gave all the barreled wine to Chu Bufan.

"Thank you, Grand Master, for the reward. I am deeply grateful." Chu Bufan accepted it happily.

"Hey, Moon God, you are too generous." Wang Yu teased.

Hearing this, Moon God rolled his eyes at Wang Yu.

"Father, this wine"

"shut up!"

Wang Qi also wanted to drink, but was scolded by his father.

Wang Qi also imitated Chu Bufan and cut his hair short, and also wore a military uniform with four silver five-pointed stars on his shoulders.

Wang Yu planned to imitate Chu Bufan in the future. This careless son was sent out to stir up troubles with the great powers. If a crow breaks out again, Wang Yu plans to work with Britain to give the Qing Dynasty on the cock land an eye-opener. If you don't take advantage of it, you will be a bastard. Eggs, there is still a lot of oil and water on the rooster land to absorb, just to get some pocket money for the children.

(PS: Are you short of money?

Wang Yu: I am just playing

PS：)

Earl Macartney and his entourage never returned, which made the King of Britain very angry. In 1795, he sent another mission to the Qing Empire in Cockland to demand a reasonable explanation.

As a result, the Qing Empire and the British Empire almost went to war, which ended with the Supreme Emperor Qianlong awarding a pension of 300,000 taels of silver.

It was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the fifty-fifth year of Huanglong's reign in the Great Zhou Empire (AD 1795). The eighty-two-year-old Emperor Zhou Ji Yu died in Taishi Palace and was known as Emperor Yan of Zhou in history.

After the grand funeral, it was time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of the new Emperor Zhou. Because Ji Yu lived a long time, all his sons and grandsons were gone, so his great-grandson Ji Xuan, who was only five years old, inherited the throne.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month of the following year, Ji Xuan was led by the Moon God to the Huangji Palace. Wang Yu carried him onto the golden dragon chair and put a small square crown on Ji Xuan's head.

At the same time, the Moon God announced the change to the first year of Chongning (AD 1796).

Because Ji Xuan was too young and senior, and his mother and grandmother were still alive, there were two more queen mothers in the harem.

The former grandson concubine and crown princess became the queen mother and empress dowager on the day Ji Xuan ascended the throne. All this is like a dream to these two women, especially the Empress Dowager. A month ago, the fifty-year-old Empress Dowager was a submissive daughter-in-law who dared not take a breath. In just one month, she became an empire. The most noble women.

As for the concubines left by the late Emperor Zhou Yan, although they were senior, they were young and had low status, so they were only respected as concubines and supported them in the harem until their deaths. The status of concubines was not as good as that of concubines. The Empress Dowager is not even as good as the Queen Mother. It is just because the concubines are senior that they appear more noble.

After the enthronement ceremony was over, the Empress Dowager stopped Wang Yu and Yueshen.

It turned out that she was dissatisfied with the current poor treatment and asked for an improvement.

This is groundless. The Empress Dowager's daily meals and expenses are regulated and have not changed for thousands of years. But when it comes to her, the problem arises again.

So according to the system, what is the daily meal of the Queen Mother? Two meals a day and one snack are actually some fruits and pastries.

There are forty-eight dishes of various exquisite dishes for each dinner. If it is a festival or the birthday of the Queen Mother, the number will be increased to eighty-eight and one hundred and eight dishes per meal.

The snacks include twenty-four kinds of exquisite pastries and seasonal fruits with nutritious combinations. This is already a luxury. The Empress Dowager will definitely not be able to finish it all by herself. After all meals, there will be a lot of leftovers. In order to avoid waste, All rewards were given to the palace maids and eunuchs. This is also stipulated in the system. If you can't finish eating, you will reward others.

This time, the Empress Dowager hopes to increase her meals to 108 dishes and 48 snacks per meal, and to 120 dishes and 60 snacks per meal during holidays.

Luna was surprised when she heard her request, but she understood it.

In fact, the Empress Dowager was also unlucky. She lost her husband in her youth and her son in her middle age. She could only rely on these luxurious life to soothe the scars in her heart. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhou royal family, she had been a widow for more than 20 years. She feels that she deserves these luxurious lives.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager also asked the Moon Goddess to grant noble titles to all members of her natal family, such as her younger brothers, nephews and nieces. Those who were already nobles would be promoted to higher ranks.
