The allusion of eating pot pulp to welcome the king comes from King Wu's warlord. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that King Wu cut merchants to filial piety, and the peasants who were fed up with the suffering of Chaoge and ran to tell each other, some killed pigs, some slaughtered cattle, some cooked rice, and some made wine, just to welcome King Wu. King Wu led a large army to Xiaoyi Village, and some of the villagers raised bamboo baskets full of beef and mutton to the top of their heads, some filled pots with hot soup and tea, and some filled jars with fine wine, and lined up to greet each other. Seeing this, King Wu was very moved, and vowed to destroy the king in one fell swoop and let the people live a good life.

The history is called "eating pot pulp to welcome the king".

…… As for how much authenticity this thing has, let's just take a look, and the back is more fleshy, so I won't post the original text, and keep the festival.

And now the scene that the Earl of Don Jr. is doing with the citizens in Limerick is also one of such performances.

On the one hand, the citizens of Limerick did sincerely welcome the arrival of the little Earl Tang, and on the other hand, the citizens also wanted to take the opportunity to test the little Count Tang to see if he was still the kind earl who cared about the peasants.

As for the Count of Little Don...... Nonsense! Such a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people, how could he miss it!

Although this popular heart, from ancient times to the present, except for that period of burning passion, no longer refers to the common people, it has always been called aristocrats in the West and scholars in China, but if you want to do a great cause, the support of the majority of farmers is still indispensable after all.

Therefore, it can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.

Since the citizens intend to flatter, it is natural that they can't be bad, although Limerick is only an insignificant city in the whole of Europa, and it is nothing compared to Venice and Genoa, but it is finally the largest entrance to the sea in Ireland, and most of the merchants who come and go have to pass through here, and all the nobles are also Irish natives, that is to say, they are all dirt buns, and the eyes are straight at that time.

The golden roast chicken, the suckling pig with fine skin and tender meat, the well-boiled beef and mutton, and the fine wine mixed with honey, each and every one of them is enough to make these uninformed fellows salivate - and most importantly, these foods are full of spices!

Seasoning!

We have calculated before how expensive such a thing as spices is, even if it is a big noble, not they can eat delicious dishes with seasonings at every meal. What's more, these nobles are just little counts in the bitter cold of Ireland, not dukes, and their status is only a little better than the scandinavian nobility in the ice and snow, and in order to prevent the Viking invasion, they have to save money from between their teeth to build an army, and they have long faded out of their mouths.

The nobles can still remain reserved, after all, although these things are rare, they can still eat a meal during the New Year's holidays, but the cavalry knights under these nobles almost burst into tears - not to mention anything else, most of the people in the cavalry have tasted honey for the first time in their lives!

Some of the cavalrymen even swore on the spot that they would not save money to buy any armor, and that they would take out the money to buy honey and eat it until they were full!

I always feel that Count Don is really a sinful person......

The banquet lasted until late at night, and it was like a carnival, with plates of meat, plates of preserved fruits, and countless wines, which made people linger and really did not want to leave—and finally, the next morning, the Earl of Little Tang dragged the other three counts and forced them to leave with them.

Leaving Limerick, Dukara Castle was already in sight, where Prince Diarmat and the knights who had been loyal to the Grand Duke of Murchid had been waiting for a long time.

"Like...... There's no Earl of Ormond......"

Not in a carriage but on a horse, the better-eyed Count of Osoruny frowned and said this to the Count of Kildel beside him.

"Really? Are you sure? Would he dare not come on such an occasion? ”

The Earl of Kildel asked rhetorically in disbelief. Originally, because the county of Ormond was closer, even closer than Desmond, they all thought that the Count of Ormond had already arrived at North Munster first, and without seeing the Earl of Don Jr., they went to the castle of Ducala first, but now they didn't see his existence, and they couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Perhaps...... It's not that simple, you and I have to be careful......"

Count Osoruni reminded him, and Count Kildel nodded vigorously, and they all thought of the conspiracy theory that had suddenly risen in the realm recently, saying that Prince Diarmat had assassinated Count Ormond...... Originally, I thought it was just a rumor, but now, both counts have to pay attention.

The Earl of Leinster on the side, he sensed that something was wrong even before the two counts, but he never spoke. After all, he is well versed in the way of self-preservation, and the first principle of self-preservation is to never say much.

The team suddenly fell dull, and Count Tang, as if he hadn't found it, or didn't say anything, smiled and greeted Prince Diarmat, who had opened his arms, and the two of them began to greet each other as if they had not seen each other for many years.

So...... Politics, what a dirty thing.

"Cousin, you can be regarded as here, my father has been waiting for you for a long time!"

After the hug, Prince Dialmat said this, and then the Count of Little Don immediately nodded and said:

"Good! It's my fault that I'm late, and without further ado, let's go see His Excellency the Grand Duke now!" ”

Prince Diarmat's smiling face stiffened all of a sudden.

Aren't you in a hurry? Didn't you wait two days before leaving? Don't you still have a drink with a bunch of citizens of Limerick? Why is it suddenly so urgent now?

In fact, this is also one of the strategies of Count Xiao Tang, which is false and real, fast and slow, so that people can't guess.

However, as a person who is good at plotting, Prince Diarmat can be regarded as prepared.

"Yes, yes! This is also a legitimate reason, there is nothing wrong with it, cousin, please come with me, and a few counts, do you want to come with us? ”

Recovering his mood, Prince Diarmat asked the counts behind Count Xiao Tang with a smile, and the counts were now looking at each other, and at this time, even the dullest people knew that it was wrong, they definitely didn't want to go through this troubled water. However, Count Don had already answered for them in advance.

"Of course, these counts are all warm-hearted people, and when they heard the news that His Excellency was critically ill, they immediately rushed over to visit the Grand Duke's condition, how could they leave them behind?"

Well, since Count Xiao Tang has said so, isn't it asking for trouble to refuse again? The counts glanced at each other, smiled wryly and nodded in agreement.

"Cousin is coming to Ducalla for the second time, right? The last time the war came in a hurry, and I didn't introduce it properly, so let me introduce it to my cousin Haosheng now. ”

The castle is very large, in fact, the castle is very large, because the castle is not only a place for people to live, the castle is also the last fortress in the territory, a qualified castle, and he must at least have a place for the lord to live, a knight to live, a place for the soldier to live, and a place for the servant to live. Some castles even have a separate field for cultivation to cope with a long siege by the enemy.

As he walked, Prince Djarmat took the lead and suddenly began to introduce the castle - this was a means of delaying time, Count Don knew it, but he wanted Prince Djarmat to delay, and now there were four counts and more than twenty knights around! The defense is tight, and even a mosquito can't be revealed, so Count Don doesn't believe that Prince Diarmatt can still play any tricks!

"The castle is not very old, it was built when my father was in office. Also, due to the negligence of the design, there are often some small animals from the outside running in the castle, and I don't know how they got in......"

Prince Djarmat was still talking, and before he could finish speaking, the wooden door of a compartment in the castle was suddenly kicked open, and before everyone could react, an overwhelming number of darts came to him!

Jeopardy!
