Chapter 188: The Han Emperor's Rice Incident
".................." Liu Tao's mood at the moment was a little complicated.
After experiencing two days of military life, he came to Lantai on the day of rest, memorized a few books according to Cai Yan's recommendation, and discussed Xunzi with her by the way. To be precise, it is to discuss the concept of materialism.
In the end, Cai Yan realized that the topic was a little crooked, but the time was about the same, so he had to give up. But I didn't know that Liu Tao was sighing: It's good that the topic is crooked, otherwise if you really want to discuss Xunzi with her, it is estimated that it will be really unbearable.
After agreeing to come to the barracks for dinner tonight, he took his leave first.
As a result, not long after returning to the barracks, Qian Fu came over to announce the decree, saying that His Majesty would come to inspect the Yulin Army later. At the same time, he plans to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and will stay for dinner and let Liu Tao prepare early.
"When did you become so arrogant?" After Liu Tao sent Qian Fu away, he had to complain.
"Brother, Your Majesty is suddenly coming over on the rest of the day......" Lu Yan felt that the situation was strange. The rest day of the barracks is slightly different from that of ordinary officials, and the soldiers go out to rest in batches, and when they come at this time, the soldiers may not be all there.
"It should be a temporary idea, I thought of the biggest possibility, that is, Your Majesty knows very well that I am going to personally cook and entertain Cai Xiaoshu tonight, so I plan to come over for dinner......" Liu Tao thought for a while and said.
After a pause, he added: "Why did he know about this, after all, there were no outsiders around at that time when I invited Cai Xiaoshu. The likelihood of her speaking out is relatively low...... Cangshan, there may be a traitor among us! ”
"Who?" Lu Yan immediately became serious.
"It's easy to identify, at least for me!" After Liu Tao finished speaking, he threw out a 'light dragon's faith' towards everyone. The magic of the light attribute quickly covered all the soldiers, and others could not see it, but he could see the process.
Then he quickly noticed that around him, there was a soldier on his body, which was not covered.
From the moment he betrayed him, even if it was still his subordinate on the surface, but magic no longer recognized it. For a while, he felt that if it wasn't for his own troops, he couldn't make magic work, which made people complain and complain.
Now I found that this thing is actually really useful, and it is really important to use it to select friendly and enemy forces.
After all, no one wants to suddenly one day, he was beaten in the back, only to find out that the person he trusted had betrayed him unconsciously.
"Found it, interrogate it secretly after tonight...... Don't be so ruthless. Liu Tao said in a low voice, and by the way, pointed out the identity of the traitor to Lu Yan and others.
It's a little regrettable that it's actually a child of the Liu family in Zhuo County, and it is said that there is also a clan of brothers who are placed there.
However, it is estimated that it is precisely because they are relatives of the Han family, although the genealogy does not have their names, but it is this identity that makes it difficult for their position to be very firm. Joining the army himself is to a large extent for the purpose of being promoted and making a fortune......
It's really a shame that Liu Yuanqi also said that at the moment of crisis, it is these relatives who will not give up on themselves...... But after becoming rich, the most likely ones to stab themselves in the back are probably these relatives.
I can see clearly, a group of guys who can share hardships and hardships, but not wealth and wealth.
"Okay......" After knowing the identity of the betrayer, Lu Yan just nodded. He didn't expect that the betrayer was actually from the Liu family in Zhuo County. Strictly speaking, this should be Liu Tao's 'family ugly'.
"Lord, in terms of ingredients, do you want to prepare them again?" Jian Yong immediately asked, he also served as the chief bookkeeper of the march, and he was also in charge of procurement.
The ingredients have been prepared for tonight, and even added some more as requested...... The problem was that His Majesty had arrived suddenly, and he was worried that the dinner he had prepared was probably too rough.
"It's okay, the delicious food has nothing to do with the ingredients." Liu Tao patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous. Let's just say that the bun fritters sent over before, didn't Liu Hong also eat it happily? !
The real problem is that I finally made an appointment for a meeting, and I planned to have a romantic dinner, but I ruined the atmosphere for Liu Hong.
Or is this a knock on himself, warning himself that his relationship with Cai Yan is too close? It is said that Cai Yong lost the face of Wang Fu's nephew Wang Zhi, who falsely accused Cai Yong of slandering the imperial court, and the latter was worried that he would not be spared, so he had to flee to Wu County, right?
However, Wang Fu, six years ago, had been booby-trapped by Yang Qiu. Coincidentally, Yang Qiu planned to assassinate Cai Yong three times, and his father-in-law Cheng Huang was involved, but the result was unsuccessful.
At that time, Cai Yong was almost killed, but he was saved from death because of the intercession of Lu Qiang, a regular servant. At the same time, throughout the first half of Cai Yong's life, Liu Hong personally promoted several promotions. In several crises, either Liu Hong pardoned him, or he came forward to intercede.
In other words, during that time, Cai Yong actually had the label of the imperial party on his body. Yang Qiu was murdered again and again, deducting the disagreement, I am afraid that there is another deep meaning, after all, before the booby trap of Wang Fu, Yang Qiu also had the label of the imperial party.
The final result was that Cai Yong fled to Wu County, and finally realized the difficulty of being sandwiched between the Shi clan and His Majesty, and began to imitate. He could stand on His Majesty's side and betray the Shi clan, but suddenly he felt that His Majesty didn't trust him either, so he could only choose to hide.
Seeing that six years have passed, Liu Hong may not have a way to transfer Cai Yong back, but it is estimated that he will not be able to take the initiative to come forward, after all, he is afraid that Cai Yong will not believe it. In this way, it is natural to rely on Cai Yan to convey his kindness.
Slowly, that is, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, actually knows that Cai Yan is serving as a girls' school secretary in Lantai? A good brain is different, and you realize so many key parts at once!
According to this logic, Liu Hong suddenly came over to eat...... Of course, wanting to eat delicious is also a factor, but more of it is to take the opportunity to contact Cai Yan, so he happened to become his own person.
It's not so easy to even rub rice, if you can be an emperor at the end of the Han Dynasty, and you have lived for more than 30 years, it won't be simple.
Thinking of this, Liu Tao didn't talk nonsense, rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the Huotou Army camp. If you say you cook by yourself, then you will really cook by yourself tonight.
I was single for more than 20 years before the crossing, and during the time I was studying outside, I ate takeout until I vomited.
When I started working, I simply bought and cooked by myself. Fortunately, I can get off work at six o'clock, and there is a lunch break. So he bought the vegetables at noon, and started cooking when he got back from work in the evening, and after a few years, he found that he was quite talented as a chef.
"One braised pork, one leek egg, one boiled prawn, plus a chestnut chicken soup...... Perfect! Looking at the materials, Liu Tao was very satisfied.
Especially cinnamon, which has existed in this era, is produced in Guiyang County. Liu Tao used cinnamon powder instead of cinnamon powder, and star anise, bay leaves, and red dates can be bought at pharmacies.
There is already soy sauce, but there is no rock sugar, and it has been replaced by starch sugar, which can only be said to be average.
"It doesn't matter what reason you're here to eat, don't even think about running if you don't eat." Liu Tao grinned.
