Chen Guo, Liaoping Prefecture.

Liaoping Prefecture was originally one of the fiefs of King Pingmu. Later, there were many natural disasters. King Pingmu was busy fighting for power with his brothers, but did not have the time to deal with the natural disasters. As a result, the people were displaced and complained. King Pingmu had to expropriate food for war. The unbearable people It finally turned back. Led by a farmer named Boshan, the rebel army overthrew the county magistrate and the prefect... It became a force that even feared King Mu, and firmly occupied the main city of Liaoping Prefecture and surrounding villages and towns.

However, after living in the main city of Liaoping Prefecture for three months, the life of the leader Boshan became more anxious.

The reason is simple, the food is going to be eaten up.

Boshan was a farmer himself, and he brought men who were as strong as him during the uprising. Although these farmermen did not understand the art of war, they fought in so many places and accumulated a lot of armor in their hands. King Mu’s soldiers were all soft-footed shrimps, incomparable to the imperial army in the Holy Capital. They just used their courage to fight over and frightened the soft-footed shrimps and withdrew from Liaoping Prefecture. , Even the governor of Liaoping Prefecture was killed by them.

After occupying the main city of Liaoping prefecture and living in the Cishi Mansion, Boshan and his confidants lived a very happy life.

There are beautiful dancers in the Governor’s Mansion, as well as countless treasures of money, food and wealth. Boshan and his confidant divided all those beautiful dancers. They squandered the good wine and food every day, and felt a good taste of the master. Days, I didn't expect that only three months after the good days, the food storehouse in the city would be empty.

Boshan has been fighting with his brothers for several months, but he has touched the doorway of war, but he does not know how to manage. After entering the city, he willfully looted and has never thought about settling down. Now tens of thousands of people have eaten and drank wantonly. Months, and without any income, it is natural to sit and eat.

If it had been before, it would have been easy. He took his men to grab food from other cities and could always get food, but now Chen Guo is full of beacon fires, except for Liaoping Prefecture, Qingping Prefecture and the state capital where Shengjing is located. In addition, the Qi State Army is everywhere.

However, the Qi State Army killed King Pyeongchang and King Heping Mu and hit the territory of King Qingping. Even the new emperor transferred all his troops back to Shengjing. He shrank and did not dare to confront them. With this strength of his men, how could he dare to follow him? Army contend? Could it be that life is too happy and rushed to give people away

Boshan was irritated, and someone outside suddenly came to report, "General, someone has come out of the city. He said he was old acquaintance with you and wanted to see him."

Boshan named himself a mighty and domineering general. Hearing this, his first reaction was that people who came to take refuge after hearing his name, said they were old acquaintances, but in fact they had met several times when they were farming in the village. Such people have been in the past few months. The mountain has seen a lot, so he waved his hand and told his subordinates to drive people away.

Seeing that the person hadn't left, he curled his eyebrows and said, "What? Is there something else?"

The subordinate said: "General, the man said he was called Shi Zhuang, and he also brought a soldier and horse. He looked at hundreds of people."

Shi Zhuang! Suddenly, Bo Shan was shocked. Isn't this the person who was conquered by the imperial court to serve, then rebelled and pulled a rebel army, and then later voted for Qi as a general!

Boshan met him several times at the beginning, and later heard that he had become a general in Qi, and he was envious for a while when he had a good life, but he did not expect that Shi Zhuang would come to look for him.

What did Shi Zhuang come to do with him? Could it be that he was kicked out by the people of Qi, and came to him specially

No, Boshan quickly denied this idea. He asked again: "You can see clearly, he really only brought hundreds of soldiers and horses?"

The subordinate said: "The small number is clear, there are 500 people in total. There is no ambush nearby."

Well, such a small number of soldiers shouldn't be here to attack them. Thinking of this, Boshan let go and immediately asked Shi Zhuang to come in.

When he saw Shi Zhuang, he was taken aback, because Shi Zhuang's current appearance was completely different from what he remembered.

I saw him wearing a set of red armor, his whole body glowing in the sun, with a jade jade-encrusted sword on his waist, a face with a beard and a beard without anger and majesty behind him. The five hundred soldiers in two rows were all dressed in black armors. They kept their eyes straight. There were only five hundred soldiers, but they walked out of five thousand men abruptly.

Bo Shan was taken aback. He thought that he had been a general for a few months, and he was no longer the sloppy farmer. When he saw Shi Zhuang, he felt confident, but he did not expect that for so many years. , Shi Zhuang's change is so great, look at... like those real nobles.

Bo Shan put away the last bit of contempt at the moment, and invited Shi Zhuang into the Cishi Mansion. The wine and meat were all over. The two exchanged a few words. Boshan found that Shi Zhuang's current conversation was different from what he had in mind. In comparison, he is still like that rude and contemptuous farmer. This made Boshan feel a little bit ashamed.

After a decade of wine, Shi Zhuang talked about what he came for today.

He was shocked when Shi Zhuang made him vote for Qi. Although he was envious of Shi Zhuang's life as a nobleman after he voted for Qi, he also cultivated such an aristocratic spirit, but he hesitated again if he really wanted him to join Qi.

Shi Zhuang and Boshan were in similar situations, and immediately said: "Boshan knows that Qingping Prefecture has been captured by the Qi army."

Boshan was taken aback. His news was lagging behind. Shi Zhuang only mentioned that he knew, "So fast!" You must know that Di Qing is not a soft-footed shrimp like King Ping Mu, he is quite capable. A prince, with a few hundred soldiers and horses, was able to escape back to the fief under the siege of the new emperor and the sand king. After he returned to Qingping, the new emperor sent troops to attack many times, but failed to knock down the city of Qingping. The door, a prince with such a strong strength, was so... Was he wiped out by the Qi army

Seeing that he couldn't believe it, Shi Zhuang said, "Di Qing's bones have been buried, and the good news has already been presented to His Majesty Qi Huang. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

Boshan naturally believed in Shi Zhuang's words. Because of this, he couldn't believe that the strength of Qi Jun was so powerful! Fortunately, he was cautious before and kept walking around Qi Jun, not daring to confront them, otherwise he would be dead right now

He was secretly grateful, and suddenly heard Shi Zhuang whisper: "His Majesty Qi Huang is a majestic man and has the heart to dominate the world. I tell you the truth, Your Majesty will rule the world, and sooner or later he will hit the Holy Capital. The Marshal Feng will fight Qingping a few days ago When I was in the state, I had already calculated that I would fight Liaoping Prefecture next."

Boshan was startled, and he heard Shi Zhuang say: "I heard that the name of Boshan who now occupies Liaoping Prefecture is called Boshan, and I guessed it was you, so I asked the marshal here to persuade you to surrender."

When Boshan heard this, his face was panicked. These soldiers under him were fine to say to the role of King Mu of Shangping, but they were no different from the sharp weapon of Shangqi, but if it was so. When he voted for Qi State, he couldn't help feeling panic again, and said, "But I am from Chen State after all, so does your Majesty Qi Huang really have no grudge

Shi Zhuang said: "His Majesty Qi is the only one who is capable, and Chen Huang, who is the same as the nepotism, is very different. Anyone who was an official in Wu can continue to take the imperial examination and serve as an official in Qi. You are quite talented. Chen Guo will definitely be appreciated by your Majesty." These words settled in Boshan's heart, telling him that he would not be blamed by Qi Emperor after he went to Qi State.

Shi Zhuang leaned forward and continued to say to Boshan: "But Brother Xian is right. After all, we are from the country of Chen, and we started off by looting. Even if your majesty has no grudges, the people of Qi will inevitably despise us. "This sentence brought the relationship between the two people closer. Seeing Boshan's complexion eased a little, Shi Zhuang followed closely: "While brother Wei has sealed the generals in Qi, he is separated from the people of Qi. In the past, I didn’t even speak a word, but the virtuous brother is different. You and I are originally from the same hometown and have similar situations. If you also voted for Qi, then we are on the same boat, so we can take care of each other in the future. Say yes?"

After Shi Zhuangzhi came out of the governor's mansion triumphantly, he was in front of Feng Erlang's sight. After Feng Erlang followed him into Qi, he also went up a few levels, and is now a full sixth-rank captain.

He patted Feng Erlang on the shoulder, and praised: "Your plan is good, I said as you wrote, Boshan really quickly agreed."

The second front cover smiled and said: "It is also the general who has a good memory, and I can tell the disposition of this General Boshan, otherwise I will be difficult to figure out." He handed his hands and said, "I won Liaoping Prefecture without a single soldier. Congratulations. The general has made another great contribution. After returning to Beijing, his majesty will definitely reward him on his merits. When the general is promoted and made fortune, he will be able to obtain a beautiful woman as he wishes.

Shi Zhuang laughed. He has been dragging away from marrying a real wife, just to marry a noble lady after he was promoted. This was something that I didn't even dare to think of before, but now it is very close. And waiting for your Majesty to rule the world, won't he be able to follow him

The news that Liaoping Prefecture was also included in Qi State's subordinates flew towards the Qi State's Kyoto. His Majesty, the emperor, had just finished handling a day's government affairs and dragged his exhausted body towards Yong'an Palace.

Gao Gonggong and others followed him, and four sturdy palace servants followed one side with an empty sedan chair.

It snowed yesterday, and a row of snow was neatly piled on both sides of the palace road.

Father Gao slowed down half a step to follow His Majesty's side. Seeing His Majesty's droopy eyelids look sleepy, he said, "Your Majesty, it's cold this day. There is still a long way from Yong'an Palace. You can get on the sedan chair." !"

When the emperor heard this, he shook his head without raising his eyelids, but his feet sped up a bit. At any rate, he was upright in the prime of his life. Even if the weather was cold and his body was tired, he would speed up and walk very fast. Where did the father-in-law follow his old bones Yes, he was left behind in a short while. He didn't know the reason, but fortunately, his Majesty was kind to others, even if he was a little behind, he wouldn't be blamed.

And the palace man carrying the sedan chair quickly followed your Majesty.

Why didn't Zhu Qiyu sit in the sedan chair and had to walk back? Because tomorrow is New Year's Eve, because he washes this morning and finds that there are more light lines on the end of his eyes.

Time is not forgiving, even his emperor did not get preferential treatment. His Majesty the Emperor felt very sad about this. He heard that more walking and more exercise can delay aging, so he quickly put it into practice.

In this way, he walked from the Imperial Study to the Harem on foot, and when he saw the eaves of Yong'an Palace, he hurriedly told the sedan chair to stop and sat on it, pretending to be back on the sedan chair all the way back.

When he arrived at Yong'an Palace, he found that Yao Yanyan was taking three children to paste the Spring Festival couplets.

After the Lantern Festival, they will be twelve years old, and the two young ones are also nine years old. The three stand together, and they are green and tender. His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the young and tender face of Yuanxiao, and then thinking about his face, the melancholy in his heart became stronger.

The three little ones ran into the inner hall to paste the Spring Festival couplets. His Majesty saw Yao Yanyan personally stepping on the ladder to paste the Spring Festival couplets. A peach blossom face became more and more beautiful against the red couplets. He volunteered: "I will post."

Yao Yanyan stood on the ladder, met the bright eyes of her majesty looking up, and nodded: "The Spring Festival couplets are over, your majesty, please post the blessings! Wish we have a good luck in the coming year, collect money and food, build a star building, and make Majesty puff..." She couldn't help but smile before she finished speaking, "It's okay to be prestigious, I'm satisfied with beautiful clothes and jewelry every day like in my previous life."

His Majesty patted his chest and promised: "It will definitely be achieved!" As he said, he helped Yao Yanyan down, then moved the ladder, took the "Fu" and the paste, and put the word "Fu" on the wall.

In previous years, it was prepared by the palace people. This is the first time that they personally posted Spring Festival couplets and blessed characters. It is inevitable that it is very novel.

Yao Yanyan saw that her Majesty had put the word "Fu" on it, but she always felt something was wrong, as if the "Fu" attached so uprightly was incorrect. She told her about this idea. His Majesty was still standing on the ladder at the time. He heard the words and thought for a while, then tore off the word blessing and pasted it on the other hand.

After the post, he said with joy: "Look, Yanyan, the word blessing is reversed. Doesn't it mean that the blessing will be returned? Let's ask the maid to cut some "money", and post it backwards. Has it disappeared and returned? This has a good meaning. It has to be posted everywhere in the palace. We will definitely have money in the coming year!"

Although Yao Yanyan still felt that something was wrong, her Majesty said it very reasonable, so she happily agreed.

So at the New Year's Eve dinner the next day, the senior official Xungui who entered the palace saw all the reversed blessing characters in the palace, and his expression was a little weird.

The official secretary said to Lin Daru, "If this blessing is reversed, doesn't it become bad luck? This... how does this make it?"

Lin Daru's eyes twitched slightly, wanting to talk to his Majesty, but he was rarely happy to see his Majesty, and thinking that it was New Year's Eve that would not irritate his Majesty, so he did not mention it.

Someone else means this.

As for His Majesty the Emperor... Seeing that no one had any objections, he thought to himself: Did the courtiers understand what I meant

His Majesty the Emperor was a little flattered, after all, it was the first time a courtier had such a tacit understanding with him!

I read this food article before going to bed last night, and then I dreamed that I became the protagonist in the article, and spent the whole evening cooking and opening restaurants to solicit customers. Oh my god, I was so busy -_-||
