Chapter 171
Don’t have Gongzi Hui’s name?
The emperor invited all the eunuchs and servants to the banquet held by the State of Lu this time, except for the name of Prince Hui. The purpose was obvious.
When Lu Gongxi heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly looked at Gongzi Hui and said, "Uncle, the Emperor and Master Qi are very cunning. This must be the Emperor's method to divide our country of Lu. My uncle must not fall for it."
It’s a plan!”
Lu Gongxi knew this uncle. Although Gongzi Hui was brave and resourceful, he was not just a brainless person. However, as Gongzi Hui's status expanded, his arrogance also reached its peak. Therefore, the emperor's actions were tantamount to challenging Gongzi Hui.
dignity, and these days, the most important thing for nobles is face, let alone the Lu country that pays attention to etiquette.
Young Master Hui narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with evil spirits. How could he not understand that the emperor just wanted to alienate the state of Lu and cause chaos in the country of Lu? In this way, the state of Lu would not have time to take care of Qi's "noisy affairs".
", when the emperor takes over Qi, Lu will be "dead and cold".
Gongzi Hui understood this in his heart, but he was still a little angry. After all, his face was put here, but he could not let the emperor take advantage of it. Because of this, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said to Lu Gongxi: "
What are you talking about, Your Majesty? We, the monarchs and ministers of the Lu Kingdom are harmonious, how could we fall into their trap just because of these provocations? Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Hui has not taken it to heart."
Lu Gongxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Gongzi Hui said, but he probably also knew that according to Gongzi Hui's nature, he was probably unhappy in his heart. However, the overall situation was more important, and Gongzi Hui could still see the situation clearly.
Lu Gongxi was in a dilemma. Logically speaking, he should not go to this feast. If he did, Prince Hui, who was not invited, would be disgraced. But when the emperor invited him, which minister dared to refuse? In the whole world, could it be the king?
Earth, the emperor is the king of Zhou, and the princes are simply the ministers. Even if they are not convinced in their hearts, they cannot refuse in terms of face.
In the end, Lu Gongxi had no choice but to go to Yanyin. Before leaving, he did a lot of psychological construction for Young Master Hui, just because he was afraid that Young Master Hui would fall into the emperor's trick.
In the night sky, a crescent moon slowly climbed up into the sky and hung overhead, illuminating the Huimen camp with lights like daylight.
Yanyin is placed in the open space of the camp. Now the weather is getting warmer and spring has begun, so the weather is not completely cold. A bonfire is lit, a crowd gathers, and the sound of cups and cups is changed one after another, it is very lively.
"drink!"
“Happy drink!”
"Taifu Qi's craftsmanship is truly rare in the world, and we are lucky enough to have a taste of this worldly delicacy!"
"Fortunate wine, please have a fortunate wine! Lu Gong, I would like to greet you!"
Compared with the lively Yanyin, at this moment, the camp of Master Hui of the state of Lu seemed quiet and deserted. Almost all the people of the Lu state in the camp went to participate in the Yanyin, but Master Hui was the only one sitting in the deserted tent.
He held a scroll of slips in his hand, and there was not even an eunuch to serve him.
There is no other reason...
Even the lowest eunuchs and slaves went to participate in the emperor's feast, which Taifu Qi personally served. Only Prince Hui stayed in the tent alone.
"Pa!" Young Master Hui threw the slip in his hand onto the desk. The slip slapped on the desk, made a crisp sound, bounced up, rushed down the desk, and stopped when it hit the corner of the camp.
Come down.
In the dim tent, the veins on Young Master Hui's forehead were furious, "Bang!" He slapped the table table hard again, and his fingers covered with martial arts calluses tapped the corners of the bronze table table, revealing a deep sense of impatience.
.
"Okay, what a young emperor..." Gongzi Hui's voice was suppressed and solemn, and he said: "You want to deceive me with such a trick? I'm dreaming!"
"Gong Lu, you are so lucky to have a drink! I'm full of wine, so I'm full of wine for Duke Lu!"
Yanyin in the camp was still very lively. The emperor was sitting on the upper seat, holding a fat and tender chicken leg in his hand. It was the Texas braised chicken made by Qi Lu himself. The skin was red and tender, and it was fragrant and fell off the bones. It didn’t need to be chewed at all. It was so light.
With a gentle bite, the whole piece of chicken comes off the bone, and a burst of fragrance rushes into your mouth.
Emperor used to think that only fried chicken could be regarded as the "king" of chicken, but now after eating this Texas Braised Chicken, he immediately discovered that there are many "kings" of chicken, each with its own taste.
The emperor ate one chicken leg and swallowed it all in two or three mouthfuls. He was still not satisfied. He wanted to continue grabbing another chicken leg, but in the blink of an eye he saw the neatly arranged nine-turn large intestine in the coffin. His attention was instantly attracted and he picked up his chopsticks.
Using chopsticks, he picked up a shiny and neat piece of nine-turn large intestine and put it into his mouth eagerly.
"Hiss...hot!"
The nine-turn large intestine had just come out of the pot and was still steaming. The emperor was so hot that he felt helpless. Qi Lu quickly picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped the oily palms of the emperor. Just now the emperor grabbed the braised chicken with his hands.
I grabbed the chicken legs without wiping my hands.
Qi Lu said: "Your Majesty, please eat more slowly and show respect to Duke Lu."
The emperor almost forgot about business. This banquet with Duke Lu was to divide Lu Gong and Gongzi Hui. Therefore, eating was not a serious matter, but drinking and chatting was.
But in the eyes of the emperor, there is nothing more serious than eating.
The emperor reluctantly took a look at the delicacies in Chengpan. He had just eaten a chicken leg and a piece of plump nine-turn large intestine, which opened up his taste buds. Now the master asked himself to "get to work".
Qi Lu was stared at by the emperor so much that his scalp went numb. He instantly felt that he was just like Huang Shiren, while the emperor felt pity for Yang Bailao. No! Xi'er, the emperor should be Xi'er!
Qi Lu coughed, wiped the emperor's palms, and said, "The emperor is going to toast Lu Gong. Lu... can you peel the shrimps for the emperor here?"
What Qi Lu is cooking today is all Shandong cuisine. The most famous Shandong cuisine, the braised prawns are naturally indispensable. Especially here, outside Linzi City, there are many aquatic products and the shrimps are very fresh. You can’t eat them like this in other places.
With fresh seafood, it’s natural to make this braised prawn dish.
Before the emperor had time to stew the prawns in oil, when he heard Qi Lu say this, a pair of slightly narrow eyes glowed faintly and said: "The master said, you have to peel the prawns for me."
Qi Lu nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, Lu will peel shrimps for the emperor right now. Why don't the emperor go and do more serious things?"
After saying that, Qi Lu pushed Ji Lin and urged him to talk to Lu Gong quickly.
The emperor repeatedly confirmed that he wanted Qi Lu to peel the shrimps, and then he picked up the cup. Shi Shiran stood up and instantly changed from a coquettish little puppy to a noble and handsome emperor. He walked towards Lu Gong.
He smiled and said: "Gong Lu, I would like to offer you a drink, Mr. Lu."
"I dare not, the emperor loves me wrongly, I am afraid!"
Qi Lu looked at the emperor's leaving figure. He was tall and straight, giving off the aura of a nobleman. He could tell he was so handsome just by looking at his back. He couldn't help but shook his head. Who could have known that such a handsome emperor was actually a coquettish little naughty dog?
Woolen cloth?
Qi Lu looked down at the shrimps in his hand and sped up his movements, planning to peel a few more shrimps before the emperor came back from his business. When he thought of the emperor's eyes shining brightly when he saw the braised prawns, the corners of Qi Lu's lips
I couldn't help but curl up.
After all, he is his own "little puppy", what else can he do? Just pamper him!
The banquet lasted until late at night, and finally ended before midnight. Because the emperor had an "unspeakable secret", only Taifu Qi knew about it.
That is, when the emperor reaches midnight, he will change from a handsome young talent to a weak, pitiful, and helpless little dog.
The emperor never "stayed up late", so the banquet was broken up before midnight, and everyone went back to their homes after having had enough food and drinks.
Lu Gongxi was successfully made drunk by the emperor and Luo Shi's ministers. He staggered drunkenly and was almost unconscious. He was helped by the eunuch in a daze.
He helped him back to Lu's camp.
There was an unusual noise outside. Before Master Hui could take a rest, he heard a "crash" and the curtain of the tent was lifted. It was the eunuch who was supporting Mr. Lu back.
Young Master Hui squinted his eyes, glanced at the drunken and unconscious Lu Gongxi, and said in a gloomy voice: "Why do you let the Lord drink so much? You follow the Lord around, don't you know how to dissuade him?"
The eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt on the ground with a grunt, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "Master... Master, please spare your life, it is... the emperor seems... very happy, and keeps... keeps toasting to the king, ministers"
My status... my status is low, so I don’t dare to persuade you!"
Gongzi Hui's eyes narrowed again. Obviously, he also knew that the emperor toasted Lu Gongxi in order to create an illusion that the emperor valued Lu Gong, and then divided Lu Gong and himself. Gongzi Hui knew very well in his heart,
It was as clear as a mirror, but even though it was clear, it was still very angry.
Gongzi Hui glanced coldly at Lu Gongxi who was lying on the couch, and then shouted angrily at the eunuch: "Get out of here, all the useless things!"
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm resigning... I'm resigning..."
The emperor drank a lot of wine. Although it was all "for fun", he did drink a lot. After returning home, he fell down and rested.
When I woke up, it was already dawn the next day, and the sun was shining in through the tent. The emperor was lying on the couch, and he had transformed from a small dog into a human form. He moved a little, and felt something itchy, and kept brushing his chin.
.
When he lowered his head and looked, it turned out to be Qi Lu's hair.
Qi Lu did not wake up, lying in the emperor's arms. He lost his usual shyness. When he fell asleep, he was very well-behaved. He kept leaning back and forth into the emperor's arms. It seemed that it was because of the coldness in the early spring morning.
Looking for heat source.
The emperor smoothly hugged Qi Lu, pulled up the brocade quilt that he kicked off, and covered Qi Lu.
Qi Lu said "Hmm...", opened his eyes in confusion, and said, "Huh? It's dawn..."
The emperor looked at the confused Taifu Qi with a smile. The dull Taifu Qi was not seen very often, it could be said to be quite rare.
The emperor lowered his head and kissed Qi Lu's forehead and said, "It's dawn."
Qi Lu stretched his waist and finally woke up. He yawned and got up to wash up. The emperor also got up and arranged his robes while saying: "Master, your method doesn't seem to be working. Last night, there was a lot of trouble."
, The Lu State is very peaceful, and I have never heard of any spy estrangement between Lu Gong and Young Master Hui."
Qi Lu disagreed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Emperor. This plan needs to be done step by step. Master Hui is not too stupid. Naturally, it won't succeed the first time. What we need to do is to be sincere and open up the stone."
As long as you work hard enough, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes. Are you still afraid that Lu Gong and Gongzi Hui won't break up?"
