Chapter 62 Fried Sauce Noodles(3/3)
, How did the Tang Dynasty decline? Hu Qing (Hu Yin) and Zhao Qing (Zhao Kai) told me before that since the large-scale renovation of Zheng Bai Canal during the Daguan Period, Guanzhong is no longer too short of food... But according to my opinion,
This kind of water conservancy project only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If Xixia cannot be wiped out and the water and soil in the upper reaches can be restored, the people in Guanzhong will not live a good life after all, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River will flood again and again!"
Hearing the word "annihilation", Xue Yuanli completely lost confidence in maintaining peace. He finally knew what it meant to be called this time, but he simply waved his sleeves at the table:
"Your Majesty! How is your statement different from calling a deer a horse?! The water is clear and the water is turbid. You actually blame me, Dabai Gaoguo?!"
"Be bold!"
"Absurd!"
"Thief!"
In the general's banquet room opposite, many people stood up in an instant.
"Every word I speak comes from the bottom of my heart!" Zhao Jiu told his generals not to be pretentious, but at the same time his face was calm and his heart was not beating. He looked calm, as if he was really speaking from the bottom of his heart. "As for Xue Qing, he is just like the head of your family.
He has little talent and little knowledge, and does not know the truth and justice, so I am too lazy to care."
Let’s say that Xue Yuanli’s words of ‘calling a deer a horse’ that he just risked his own life can be considered as fulfilling the duties of a minister, but after all, he is the prime minister of a country and is still very graceful, so he is still doing his best:
"Why is Your Majesty so provocative and bluntly saying that Yan'an is not good? It's just that Your Majesty, the foreign minister has told Prime Minister Yu Wen many times before, and I will say it again today. We understand that the Gao Kingdom really has no intention of taking Yan'an from the Jin people... Only
Now that the three kingdoms are fighting, your majesty’s move is tantamount to pushing the 200,000 soldiers of Dabai Gao to the side of the Jin people!”
"Where did you get the 200,000 soldiers?" Zhao Jiu sneered. "The Iron Kites are only six thousand, and the Poxi Army is only two hundred... But when it comes to this matter, in any case, Xue Qing came to see me this time. In terms of etiquette,
They are all appropriate. Fifty camels and a hundred good horses are the greatest courtesy you Xixia people can show... I will send all these things to Qu Dutong for the use of the imperial cavalry.
"
After hearing this, Qu Duan instinctively wanted to get up and go to tease the Xixia people, but he unexpectedly saw that apart from the official family, the two eldest people in the audience, Hu Yin and Han Shizhong, were looking at him, but their expressions were stiff, and they didn't know what to do.
Dare to move.
"Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want!"
"Of course." Zhao Jiu responded with a smile. "But I haven't finished yet... I also like that white parrot."
"As long as your Majesty likes it..."
"You must know that in Tokyo that day, there was an alchemist from Shaoxing who told me an allusion, saying that there is Chang'e in the middle of the moon, and she is the wife of Hou Yi, just because in Hou Yi's house he could only eat crow noodles every day.
, so he stole Hou Yi's elixir and fled to the moon." Zhao Jiu smiled at the ministers and Xue Yuanli. The ministers didn't know the reason and could only apologize. Xue Yuanli's expression was cold and unchanged. "Later, I will tell you what the elixir in the story is.
I forgot all about it, only remembering the Crow Zhajiang Noodles... I haven’t eaten the Crow Zhajiang Noodles today, but since Xue Qing is returning home, I happened to ask Xue Qing to have a bowl of Parrot Zhajiang Noodles first.”
Zhao Guanjia said slowly, and Yang Yizhong waved his hand, and as expected, a fully armed imperial guard brought a bowl of noodles with shredded pork and sauce, and placed it directly in front of Xue Yuanli... Everyone became more and more excited
They were dumbfounded, not to mention the Xixia people, but even the handsome ministers felt a little chilly in their hearts.
"Your Majesty is determined to start a war?" Xue Yuanli endured the discomfort, tried to avoid the bowl of noodles in front of him, looked up to the sky and closed his eyes for a moment, then reluctantly opened his eyes and asked.
"I have just been in Changling. I have appointed Han Shizhong, Prince of Yan'an County, as the Commander-in-Chief, Hu Yin as the Logistics Governor, Yue Fei, Qu Duan, and Wu Jie as the Deputy, and we will send all the troops to capture Hengshan!" Zhao Jiu pointed out casually. "My soldiers.
Less, only a few hundred thousand!"
Hearing this, Han Shizhong, who had just sat down, immediately stood up and, together with Yue Fei and Qu Duan, casually raised their hands towards Xue Yuanli from a distance.
Xue Yuanli's face turned red, he lowered his head and forcefully took a bite of noodles on the table, then stood up and left, while Zhao Jiu showed no reaction and just let him go. Unexpectedly, the Xixia Zai couldn't carry out more than a few steps, so he covered him up on the spot.
He couldn't hold his tongue, so he just held the hand of the accompanying Xixia official and forced himself down the river embankment. Then he retched for a while...but in the end he hurried away without looking back.
People left for a long time, and the banquet was quiet for a long time. Han Shizhong and others started to speak but stopped talking several times.
Hu Yin, on the other hand, frowned a little, and then asked directly: "The officials killed the gifts given by others, and then let the envoys eat them?"
Zhao Jiu finally spread his hands: "How could I do such a thing? That parrot is so cute, I sent it to Tokyo to the Queen Mother a long time ago, just to anger the Xixia people, and I didn't force him to eat it, he
I ate it myself…”
Everyone felt a little relieved along with Hu Yin... This was the familiar Zhao Guan family.
However, Zhao Guan's family also sighed for a moment: "There is no way. I spoke from the bottom of my heart and was determined to conquer Xia Ming. He didn't believe it at all. I tried to coax him with a bowl of noodles, but he reacted like this. I can only say that this person is willing to believe me in his heart."
He is a cruel person... But, Zhengfu, what kind of meat is this?"
Everyone went to see Yang Yizhong again.
Yang Yizhong had no choice but to tell the truth: "The official's order was urgent, and I was worried at the moment. It was me who temporarily led someone to shoot a few crows from Changling."
Zhao Guanjia's heart was pounding.
