Chapter 164: The Loser
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have more brains than your father. However, can you tell me first, how did you and your father know about Concubine Wei's ambitions long before they were caught by my father? Hearing this, Xiao Qiongzhi asked curiously.
The whole prince glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi a little wrongly.
He thought for a moment before he replied: "At the moment when General Zhou and they broke through Liangzhou, the two guards who were originally introduced by Concubine Wei and reused by the Lonely Father King and were responsible for protecting the Lonely Father tried to assassinate us. Fortunately, the five guards gifted to Lone's mother and uncle saved us by their kung fu and allegiance to death. ”
"Later, I interrogated from the mouths of the two guards who assassinated us separately that they were bribed and killed by Concubine Wei, so that Concubine Wei could be born and inherit the throne of Qi smoothly."
"They also told me that Concubine Wei had promised them that as long as they could kill us, even if the incident happened, Concubine Wei could quietly send them to any of the six countries of Yan, Chu, Eastern Liang, Southern Liang, Chen, and Han except for Qi to enjoy glory and wealth."
"Because, soon, these six countries will also have wars like Chu and Qi, and at that time, the sons of her six side concubine sisters will soon have the opportunity to become the monarchs of the six countries."
"Quan'er, why didn't you tell Gu about your interrogation of those two guards?" King Qi suddenly raised his head and asked the prince with a puzzled expression.
The whole prince: "Hey! Di Chang sighed and said, "Father, when the sons interrogated the two guards, you had already gone to the side and continued to command our Qi army and fight against the Chu army. ”
"When we meet again, we have all been reduced to prisoners of the Chu army, and we are being closely watched by them, and we have no chance to speak in private at all!"
"Oh, yes, yes, it's a fool. Quan'er, you don't know, at the beginning, it was Concubine Wei's slut who told Gu that Wei Feng told her privately that among the seven sons-in-law, the favorite is Gu, saying that Gu has the face and courage to dominate the world. ”
She also said that Wei Feng also told her that if she planned to unify the Seven Kingdoms one day, she would definitely persuade Emperor Xiao to stand by and watch. Lone Cai was confused for a while, regardless of your mother's opposition, and sent troops to Chu. The more King Qi spoke, the more ashamed he became.
It seems that although he is relatively strong, he is very kind to the whole prince, otherwise, he will not admit that he is confused and ashamed in front of the whole prince.
As for the whole prince, when he first saw his family come back, he pretended to be very restrained, silently letting the king of Qi do whatever he wanted, and when the king of Qi softened, he had to show his edge, far more black than the king of Qi, with brains, which should not be underestimated.
Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately pretended to be disapproving, and said to the whole prince: "Even if what your father and son said is true, so what? As long as the other monarchs of the six kingdoms are not as stupid and evil as your father, whether it is Wei Feng or the other six Wei concubines, the conspiracy will come to naught. ”
The whole prince glanced at Xiao Qiongzhi seriously and said, "Zhi'er, although you are talented and intelligent, you still don't know much about human nature. In the face of fame, fortune and power, throughout the ages, how many fathers and sons have killed each other, friends turned against each other, and brothers became enemies? ”
"As long as there is an opportunity to go further, there is no monarch who does not want to be an emperor, and there is no monarch who does not want to expand his territory."
"Wei Feng's so-called words to Concubine Wei in private are irresistible temptations for any monarch. If the other concubines of Wei, in front of other monarchs, also said the same. ”
"I dare to guarantee that in less than half a year, the same war will inevitably occur between the five countries of Yan, Dongliang, Nanliang, Chen, and Han!"
"Kill a thousand, hurt yourself eight. If there is a war between the five kingdoms of Yan, Eastern Liang, Southern Liang, Chen, and Han, it will be beneficial for our Chu State, and after the war with your Qi State, it will be good to seriously negotiate peace and recuperate. Xiao Qiongzhi still pretended to be confused.
Of course, in fact, at this time, she had already begun to have a preliminary plan in her heart to deal with Wei Feng, but she just didn't want the whole prince to know.
She looked sideways at Zhou Dazhi and said sweetly, "Dad, I'm hungry, let's eat together!" ”
That's what it means not to bother with the whole prince anymore.
Zhou Dazhi understood in seconds, and replied with a smile, "Okay!" ”。
Then, he put Xiao Qiongzhi on the edge of the seat next to him and sat down, glanced at Zheng Bang, Chu Yunniang, Liu Wuxiu, Zhou Dayong and others at the same table, and said, "Let's eat!" He took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks, pinched a ball of fish legs, and put them into Xiao Qiongzhi's bowl.
This group of fish was caught by Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong with dogs and stones in the upper river near Xujia Village on the day Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu met Zhou Lili.
Only one was killed that night to eat, and the remaining three were originally intended to be raised, one was left for the New Year, one was kept for the New Year, and one was left for the fifteenth day of the first month.
This time, Chu Yunniang saw that there were many guests at home, so she asked Zhou Dayong to help and killed two, one at a table.
In addition to this, there are nine dishes.
Before, when Liu Wuxiu was telling everyone about Xiao Qiongzhi's various "glorious" deeds, the dog had secretly run over and told Xiao Qiongzhi that Chu Yunniang was going to make ten dishes to serve.
At that time, she didn't think much about it, but now, when she looks closely at the dishes on the table, she is really a little angry.
Because, there are nine dishes left, which are fried chicken with dried fairy tofu, stewed duck in Huaishan, stewed mutton with white radish, mapo fairy tofu, and the wild boar intestine, wild boar liver, wild boar belly, wild boar kidney flower and two steamed wild boar piglets made by several aunts and aunts of Zhoujia Village last time.
Not to mention the rest, this wild boar cub, Xiao Qiongzhi is usually busy, and rarely goes to see it, but there are two times, when Liu Wuxiu fed them the scum of fairy tofu and sun tofu, he went to see them twice by the way.
However, it is probably because she watched Zheng Bang with her own eyes, how she gave them out, and then held them in person to see their mother for the last time.
When they saw her, they were very close, and they would cry happily at her through the fence gate of the pigsty, "whoa, whoa, whoa......".
Therefore, in her heart, she is very reluctant to treat them as her own pets.
Now, Chu Yunniang actually slaughtered them and made them into dishes, she was really unhappy in her heart.
She once again deeply realized that Chu Yunniang was sometimes a loser, and at the same time, she really didn't understand the rules.
After all, even if she really regarded Chu Yunniang as her adoptive mother, her true identity was there, and in the face of anything that she and Zheng Bang took home, it was reasonable that Chu Yunniang should not make her own decisions without asking her at all.
In addition, in fact, ordinary people, as long as there is a meat dish on the table for a meal, even if it is very good, Chu Yunniang's on the table, except for the mapo fairy tofu, everything else is meat dishes, and there is no duplicate, which is also absolutely amazing.
This person who knows knows that Chu Yunniang is hospitable, but who doesn't know, thinks that Chu Yunniang is showing off her wealth!
She just persuaded Zhou Dazhi to take King Qi and Prince Quan and others to wait until the King of Chu sent someone to Zhoujia Village, and then leave together, if she continues to mess around like Chu Yunniang, she is afraid that all the delicious things at home will be squandered by Chu Yunniang in less than three days.
