Chapter 1768 There is a shadow of a person in 1769
The emperor of the Tang Empire lived a fulfilling and luxurious life every day. All the science and technology he contributed to the world brought him closer to the world he was familiar with. Not only was he committed to promoting the development of the country, he also achieved world-renowned achievements in various fields, making the Tang Empire a prosperous country. His wisdom and talent are admired by the world, and his influence transcends national boundaries.
The day's plan begins in the morning, and Tang Mo's breakfast is always sumptuous and exquisite. On his table are top-quality ingredients from all over the world, cooked by the world's top chefs.
This is not a boast. All chefs in the world are proud to be able to enter the "Imperial Kitchen" of the Tang Empire. His Majesty's Imperial Chefs can better illustrate their cooking skills anywhere.
People who stand at the top of the chef world make their work plans around Tang Mo every day. Nutritionists have to calculate the nutritional content of meals, and chefs are responsible for cooking the best ingredients into the most delicious state.
In just two hours, before His Majesty the Emperor gets up, a catering team of more than 100 people will complete the work to ensure that every dish is like a work of art, complete in color, flavor and taste.
An ordinary emperor might not be able to support such a team, but Tang Mo had four such teams, who took turns preparing Tang Mo's three meals a day, and also ensured that there would be supper available at any time in the evening.
During lunch time, Emperor Tang Mo usually liked to eat in his office. Although the Forbidden City is very large and has continued to expand recently, there are not many places that Tang Mo often goes to.
He often received ministers during meals and invited them to stay and enjoy royal cuisine. Chu Muzhou and Luo Jie were invited the most. After all, they were the prime ministers of the empire.
The gardens of the Forbidden City are very popular with princes and princesses. They are old enough to run around, so they often take their maids to play in these places.
Although it is just a park, the details are unimaginably luxurious: many of the herbs planted here are very rare species, and some are even transplanted from inaccessible mountains.
In order to maintain the flowers and plants here, the Forbidden City has a professional botany team. Don't underestimate this group of so-called gardeners. They are the kind of laboratory experts who can publish many papers every year.
No one would have thought that such a garden maintained by a professional team would be a playground for princes and princesses to trample and pick at will...
Having just discussed the combat situation on the Eastern Continent with Chief of General Staff Loew, Tang Mo enjoyed a rare moment of leisure time. He is very busy every day, and lunch time becomes a rare opportunity for him to relax.
Today's lunch was relatively simple, and Tang Mo wasn't the type to set out a table full of dishes and only take one bite of each dish. Although the chef team is large, they usually only provide Tang Mo with food for one person.
Of course, the so-called one-person portion here is somewhat different from the traditional one-person portion. Tang Mo's simplest meal was probably four dishes and one soup. He would definitely not be able to finish that much.
Today’s lunch is a plate of white meat soup, a portion of stir-fried shrimps, a portion of crab meat and lion’s head, a portion of cabbage and a portion of squirrel mandarin fish. The white meat soup is smooth and delicate, and the soup is delicious; the stir-fried shrimps are bright in color, fresh and tender, and have a smooth texture. When paired with green vegetables, they are even better in color and flavor; while the crab meat and lion heads are tender, juicy, and meaty. Soft and fluffy, paired with the mellow soup, every bite is full of happiness... In short, Tang Mo had a great time eating this meal. "Weiss...I heard you caught some interesting guys over there?" Tang Mo asked his followers while eating these not-so-authentic Huaiyang dishes.
No way, even though Tang Mo tried hard to restore the system of dishes in his mind, the local chef still couldn't really restore authentic Huaiyang cuisine using ingredients from this world.
Weiss has been with Tang Mo all these years, and his family even lives in the Forbidden City. He probably has a bit of a "big housekeeper" meaning.
He has a mysterious force under his command, which is responsible for matters related to the safety of His Majesty the Emperor. In this regard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled by Princess Youlin can only take second place.
"Yes, it has been lurking before, but it was recently activated after receiving a telegram. These people want to plan an assassination operation on this year's National Day. The idea is very bold." Weiss answered casually.
The other party has good intentions. These secret agents have been lurking for a long time. If they had not become active recently, even the intelligence department of the Tang Empire would not have discovered these rats.
But once the other party becomes active, it will definitely show its tail: they contacted each other, and then found some other lurkers to obtain a batch of arms, which was directly targeted by Weiss's security forces.
But this doesn't mean that Tang Mo doesn't hate these guys who use assassination methods secretly. If everyone in the world does this, wouldn't he have to beware of these shady methods all his life?
Over the years, he has never used his huge espionage network to carry out assassinations. In fact, a large part of the reason is that he does not want to create a demonic trend in this area: shortcuts are easy to take, but the subsequent problems caused by them are headaches.
"Can you find out who did it?" Tang Mo asked curiously while chewing without stopping eating. He really doesn't care who is planning to take his life, because there are too many people in the world who want his life.
"They are probably worried about our retaliation. The other party's identity is very complicated, and... seems to be related to many countries on the Eastern Continent." Weiss answered cautiously.
He must be cautious about this kind of thing. Even if the other party is telling the truth, there is still the possibility of being led away. What is the truth? Sometimes it is difficult to really find out. The results of the interrogation, no matter how verified, can only be regarded as circumstantial evidence, and there is no way to draw a conclusion.
Tang Mo nodded. He knew that even if he asked what the result was, or if all the evidence pointed to one person, it might not necessarily be true. So he couldn't blame Wes for being incompetent, nor could he believe an answer whose truth was unknown.
"No matter how you look at it, there is a shadow of a person." However, Tang Mo still muttered vaguely while chewing.
