Chapter 121: The Chess Pieces Left Behind by the Old Emperor
At this time, the wine is also warm, and then put two clips of ginger shreds, and the strong fragrance hits people.
He Chunhua's cook cut off pieces of meat weighing about five catties from the fish, smeared them with various ingredients, and put them on the fire to roast. Soon, the aroma of oil and pepper was forced out by the flames.
Lu Yao said with a smile: "I also said that Lord He has any special way to eat, it turns out that it is also roasted by fire." ”
"The guy can't take advantage of it, so he can only make up the juice." The cook brushes the sauce on the fish while it is roasting, and brushes it every 10 times. When the fish is cooked thoroughly, it turns into a beautiful red sauce color.
The fish meat was brought to the two bigwigs, and when Lu Yao tasted it, it was actually a roasted double taste. A piece of fish the size of his fist is divided into two halves, half of the fish skin is charred and crispy, and it melts in the mouth, and the thick fat under the skin drips into the meat, relieving the astringency of the large petal fish; The other half of the fish seems to be smeared with an unknown sauce, with a little fruity sweetness in the salty aroma, and even two points of acidity, which is extremely greasy.
"Yes, you can." Lu Yao took a bite of fish and drank a sip of wine, and praised with a thumbs up, "It is worthy of being the home of Zhong Mingding's food!" ”
"It's overrated." He Chunhua also took a piece of fish meat into the mouth, "When my family was at its most prosperous, it was never included in Jiuqing, and it was not Zhong Mingding's food!" ”
"When the Holy Master took stock of the officialdom of the big kite, he once named Lord He." Lu Yao smiled, "Say that you are a talent." ”
He Chunhua raised his eyebrows. The "Holy Master" that the other party is talking about is, of course, the leader of the rebels, Hong Xiangqian. It is said that this person has great magical powers, and even the dead can be saved, and even used all kinds of magical powers on the battlefield-
This last point is highly unusual. As we all know, the royal army can invoke Yuan Li when fighting, thus forming a powerful suppressive effect on supernatural spells. Throughout the ages, there have been countless supernatural people who have been surrounded and suppressed to death by the official army.
But Hong Xiangqian can use his magical powers on the battlefield, and his effectiveness will not be weakened. This is because he has already established his own power, and he can also control and deploy Yuan Li.
This is probably the reason why the Kite court is in a hurry to kill the rebels: if this scourge is not eliminated, the second regime within the Great Kite will grow stronger.
Hong Xiangqian is dead, and Lu Yao, a person like Lu Yao who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and who dares to stir up three points in the Hades Palace, still maintains respect for him in his words; Just looking at this, He Chunhua knew that Hong Xiangqian was not simple, he was not only a thief and liar announced by the royal court, but as an official of the royal court, he didn't want to show admiration for him.
"I heard that the He family suffered a catastrophe, and you were the only one who survived, but you were demoted to Qiansong County by the old faint king, and you were only in your early tens at that time? Well, you went to Qiansong County to be a post boy, and ordinary people probably ended their lives. You can take advantage of the invasion of foreign enemies and take advantage of the desert behind you...... What's that desert called? ”
"Panlong."
"Oh oh yes, the Panlong Desert is windy and sandy, and it has been impassable for months. At that time, the city was still ruled by the Antonians, and you gathered a crowd to kill the envoys of the Antonians in the street, probably scared the people in the city a lot, right? Why didn't I kill you? ”
"The Anton people have occupied Blackwater City for many years, and the Kite Kingdom has never robbed it, and the Anton people thought that our country was weak, and only supported a few compradors to manage Blackwater City." He Chunhua said lightly, "Kill these compradors together, and then use the wild sand season to deal with the remaining Andong people in the city." By the end of the Sand Season, Blackwater had successfully recovered. ”
Lu Yao laughed: "Okay, happy." Has the Golden State Thorn History rewarded you heavily? ”
"Nope." He Chunhua took a bite of fish, "I was arrested and imprisoned, and as soon as I entered the cell, I received 30 lashes on charges of assassinating friends and inciting border wars. Fortunately, the jailer took pity on me, beat me lightly, and sent a lot of medicine. The next day, half of the city came to petition, and the officials were afraid of making trouble, so they let me go. ”
"I said to the Golden State assassin that the Anton people will not take the opportunity to retaliate, he does not believe it. But Blackwater City was also peaceful for two years, and it wasn't until the third year that Anton made a comeback. The Golden State Thorn Shi was unable to deal with it, and someone told him that whoever caused the trouble would solve it, and this pushed me out. ”
Lu Yao nodded: "You repelled the Anton." ”
"Three times. They didn't attack again. He Chunhua said, "The history of the Jinzhou Assassin took the credit to himself, but my deeds have been spread to the capital, and the king also knows about it, so he will promote me unusually." ”
Lu Yaoqi said: "How do you know that after killing the envoy, the Anton people will swallow their anger?" ”
"In my last year as a post chief, I heard the merchants of Hongya Road say that Anton Wang Xue is in turmoil in the country."
"That's it? Insufficient credentials? ”
He Chunhua sighed slightly: "King Anton's eldest son died young, and the second son and fourth son have been fighting for power. The second son is fierce and the fourth son is resourceful, and neither of them has killed the other in a short period of time, so the country is in turmoil. Even if this is the case, their battle will probably be delayed, and they will not be able to manage the inconsequential places such as Red Cliff Road and Blackwater City for the time being. ”
Lu Yao stroked his chin and said, "How did you win the battle later?" ”
"The Anton royal family fought chaotically, and in the end the four sons won, but the country has been weak for many years, and it is even more decadent at this time, and it is not enough to send people to take Blackwater City. After attacking three times and not being able to take it back, they will not fight. He Chunhua smiled slightly, "Now, Andong has a very good relationship with us. ”
"No wonder the Holy Master said that if there is a talent like you on the mainland of the kite, the footsteps of the righteous army to the north will not be so smooth."
He Chunhua was slightly moved.
This is a high evaluation, and at the same time, it is too underestimated to look down on the Manchu civil and military affairs of the big kite.
"Your family has suffered a lot of wrongs, and you have made many achievements and shown your talents in the border lands, why has the royal court never reused you?"
He Chunhua smiled bitterly. It's not a good question.
"The Holy Master mentioned it at that time, this is a chess piece left by the old emperor to his successor, a useful chess piece." Lu Yao said with a smile, "On the one hand, I will press you in Qiansong County and continue to polish your sharpness, and on the other hand, I will leave you to the next emperor to reuse, so that you will be grateful to the monarch who promoted you, and you can do your best for him." After all, it was him who killed your whole family, and it was he who made you turn over. It's a pity that the current emperor is a big straw bag, and he has failed the great gift that the old man gave him before he died. ”
"Well, does what the Holy Master said make sense?"
He Chunhua was speechless, and only said after a while: "General Lu is sorry for me, and He is grateful." ”
"This kind of emperor, what else do you sell your life for him?" Lu Yao snorted, "Even Dong Haoming, who has worked hard for his family for many years, is it the opposite, do you still have to make up the numbers?" ”
"There has never been a chance to get back to normal." He Chunhua didn't wait for Lu Yao to refute and asked, "Da Sima attempted rebellion in the capital, and now he has retreated to Huzhou. The city there is strong and full of food, and the people only know the Donglai Mansion, but they don't know the Son of Heaven, which shows that Da Sima has already prepared. If it were General Lu, how would you attack? ”
