In the late Northern Song Dynasty, on the eve of the Jingkang Incident, Chen Shao, a time traveler, had a clear goal.

To prevent the Great Song from being destroyed by the Jin,

he decided to take over first!

Without the Great Song, how could you destroy it?

As the Jurchens marched south, a hundred thousand Western troops lined up in the courtyard, their swords drawn, declaring:

"These armies are leaderless. We wish to establish Chen Shao as the Emperor."

Personality: Ruthless and merciless, decisive in killing, scheming and treacherous, and inhuman.

Zhu Houcong transmigrates to a martial arts world and starts as the villain in "Nirvana in Fire," Emperor Xiao Xuan of the Great Liang Dynasty. As long as he plays the role of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, he can obtain all kinds of magical elixirs.

Dreaming of returning to Chang'an, the Xuanwu Gate was stained with blood, and the depths of the Taiji Palace were filled with endless sorrow. The resounding words "The people are the water, the ruler is the boat" still echoed across the land of Chang'an, but the iron hooves of foreign tribes once again trampled through the Jade Gate Pass. How can this hatred be satisfied?

What kind of fury must Li Shimin, lying in his tomb, have uttered upon witnessing the suffering of his people? He pounded on the railings, only to see the land sinking into ruin!

My heart was filled with frustration, and I wished I could cross the river of history, pluck stars from the sky, grasp the sun and moon, and turn the world upside down.

So be it. I hear ghostly cries and the autumn rain pattering outside the window. I'll cut a worn-out pen and continue the story of the glorious Tang Dynasty, removing the dark parts. My Tang Dynasty has no sorrow, only the heroic spirit of war, emperors with the ambition to swallow the sun and moon, fierce generals who have fought countless battles, scholars in high hats and wide belts, gentle and virtuous empresses, loving fathers and filial sons, and a prosperous era that continues. This is my Tang Dynasty, my "Tang Brick".

...

The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.

Yang Tian: "Amo, remember this: what belongs to your brother is your brother's. I won't give it to you, and you can't take it from me."

Yang Guang: "But what if I like it?"

Yang Tian: "That won't work either, otherwise the world will be in chaos, you will be condemned for all eternity, people will curse you for being disloyal and unfilial, for being inhuman, for... In short, you will die without a burial place in the end."

Yang Guang: "..."

After a long pause, Yang Guang asked timidly, "Brother, would it be that serious if I ate an apple?"

The people in the world and the affairs of the world are just dishes on the table of my Tang people.

Although the original ingredients have the original style of food, Yunchu still believes that the most delicious food still needs to be divided, cooked, processed, and the food that is finally served on the table is the food that is most suitable for the stomachs of Datang people.

Steaming, stewing, stir-frying, stewing... There are as many cooking methods as there are things in the world.

Whether it is Goguryeo, Turkic, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele...or long whales, tigers, giant sharks, hungry wolves, all of them can cook peerless delicacies in the melting pot of Datang...

Coupled with Li Zhi, Wu Yan, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and other peerless seasonings, there will always be one thing that will make you unforgettable regardless of the color and fragrance.

Yunchu hopes that at such a luxurious banquet, he should definitely have a seat for himself!

Now, the delicacy has been cooked——Yunchu laid out the napkin, picked up the deer knife, and closed his eyes slightly, ready to enjoy an unprecedented meal to satisfy his hungry stomach.

A stroke of bad luck, a car crashed into a chaotic world. Zhu Guanyu opened his eyes again, a malnourished orphan serving as a servant in a Shanghai family. His name remained unchanged, and before him was a spoiled seven-year-old young master, behind him was the ruthless underworld of the Republican era. A tenth-degree martial artist, a master gone wild. Gunfire and strength coexisted, and suits and long gowns danced together. Fortunately, he had a rather unwieldy "attribute panel." The promises of investment in a previous life became the foundation of his survival in this one. Attribute points? Skill enhancements? How to obtain them... by eating? Starting with cautiousness and scavenging scraps, he made every move with care. Gentleness and humility were his mask, and calculating people's minds were his instinct. He listened, observed, and imitated, always wearing a warm and gentle smile. He treaded the tightrope of interests between warlords, gangs, and foreign powers with precision. "Risk aversion" was his motto, and "information hunger" was his way of survival. He is not one for brute force, seeking only a single strike to kill, or to maximize his gains at the lowest possible cost. This is the path he took from humble servant to the "Smiling King of Hell" behind the scenes. Zhu Guanyu's goal is clear: first, to eat his fill, then to settle the entire world.

The word "绍" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide.

In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan.

However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou.

However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were!

I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?!

This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path.

Therefore, it is called Shaosong.

Dreaming back in the middle of the night, Wen Mingtang saw the ending of the beauty who pampered the golden house;

After waking up from the dream, Wen Mingtang changed his core and decided to take a down-to-earth path…

At the end of last year, the evaluation forms for personnel changes in various ministries in the capital came out, and the public chef of Dali Temple topped the list with a record of changing 12 cooks in half a year.

Since then, the public chef of Dali Temple has become famous in the first battle, and has become a nightmare for cooks all over the capital.

…

On this day, a new chef came to the public kitchen of Dali Temple who had been vacant for more than half a month…
