No correction

Brush the batter one by one on the bronze plate, put it on the pot to make thin Liangpi, and make a thick stack of Liangpi one after another. Wu Jiao cut these Liangpi into long strips.

The last thing is seasoning, because there is no garlic, Wu Jiao has to use other things instead, mix Yuejiao and Zanthoxylum bungeanum, sauté in oil, then add some yellow mustard to enhance the flavor, mix it with soy sauce and vinegar , fragrant and sour, then copied the soybeans, cut some shredded vegetables, cut the gluten into small pieces, poured all of them into the cold noodle, stirred it when eating, it was cool and refreshing, absolutely no cure.

Although Liangpi is simple and looks very low-key, it is the most widely accepted delicacy. Wu Jiu still remembers that when he was in college, he would eat such a bowl of Liangpi for lunch at noon in summer, and it was only a few yuan at that time Money, very cheap, and filling.

After Wu Jiao finished, he cut the frozen pork skin into long strips, set the plate, and prepared to leave with his things. It was already past lunch time, and Qihou should have finished his lunch by now. I don’t know if there is any Appetite for afternoon tea.

Wu Jiu went to the door and asked the eunuch to notify him. The eunuch smiled and said, "Da Sinong, your majesty has been waiting for a long time, and said that if Da Sinong came, there is no need to notify, just go in."

Wu Jiu thought to himself, Qi Hou has been waiting for this lollipop for so long, so he is really a foodie...

Wu Jiu walked in with his things, and Qi Hou was frowning to review the documents. There was a bowl of medicine beside him, which he hadn't drunk yet. It had a smelly and bitter taste, so he must have no way to drink it.

As soon as Wu Jiu walked in, Qi Hou raised his head immediately, not because he heard footsteps, but because Qi Hou actually smelled a fragrance, a sour taste, and a spicy smell, with a hint of The smell of yellow mustard is very appetizing, and the saliva in the mouth is secreted instantly.

Qi Hou didn't eat much during lunch, he felt that he wasn't hungry, but his stomach was empty. At this time, he smelled a sour smell, and he immediately regained his appetite. He said with a smile, "What delicious food did the second brother bring?" ?”

Wu Jiu put all the things on the table and placed them in front of Qihou. Qihou looked at them. There were two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a bowl of staple food. On the side plate was a plate of lollipops, colorful Comes in any color and looks very cute.

Qihou smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother."

Wu Jiao thought to himself, why didn't he think of the hard work when ordering food, and it was an afterthought at this time, but fortunately Wu Jiao likes to cook, and seeing Qihou's eyes shining, he feels that cooking is quite a sense of accomplishment.

Wu Jiu said, "Your Majesty, please use it."

Qi Hou hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, first took a piece of crystal clear white meat, dipped it in the amber sauce, put it in his mouth, the white meat was sliced ​​very thin, the skin was elastic and the meat was fine, because it was too thin, so the fat did not show It is greasy, the salty fragrance of fish sauce is just right, and the appetizer of yellow mustard makes Qi Hou feel like drooling instantly, and his saliva is secreted crazily.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wu Jiao immediately took another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, knowing that his seasoning should be quite good.

Qi Hou ate five or six pieces of white meat, and then went to pick up another piece of jelly with skin. The jelly was so slippery and springy that he couldn't pick it up. It is cold and cold, and the taste is indescribably refreshing.

Qihou turned his head and saw the dishes again. He didn't like to eat vegetables very much, but because Wu Jiao worked so hard, he picked up a chopstick and couldn't help opening his eyes. This dish is very tender, not greasy at all, and there is a kind of The indescribable umami taste, anyway, Qi Hou can't describe it at all.

After eating all the dishes, Qi Hou set his sights on the unattractive bowl of Liangpi.

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, before eating, stir it first, there is sauce in it."

Qihou Yiyan stirred it with chopsticks, and a sour and fragrant smell rushed out. Just now when Wu Jiao came in, what Qihou smelled was this smell, and he was a little surprised. He didn't expect this bowl of noodles to be so delicious. strange?

After Qihou mixed the cold skin, he couldn't wait to put a chopstick of the cold skin into his mouth. The cold skin was smooth and tough, with elastic gluten, fried soybeans, and refreshing shredded cabbage. When he chewed it, he felt a strong smell. feeling of contentment.

Qi Hou was surprised, took another big mouthful, and then said: "Second brother, what kind of trick is this?"

Wu Jiao said with a smile: "It's called Liangpi, Your Majesty doesn't have much appetite, just eat this as an appetizer."

Wu Jiao was right, Qi Hou's taste is very easy to understand, the standard northerners like this kind of spicy and salty food, and they eat it with relish, Wu Jiao made a big bowl of Liangpi, Qi Hou took the pork skin jelly and white meat, and ate them all in one bite. Finally, he was still unsatisfied. He even ate the steamed vegetables, and finally picked up the soybeans in the cold skin bowl and ate them one by one.

Wu Jiao looked at Qi Hou picking up the beans one by one, couldn't help his eyelids twitching, and thought to himself, does this look like he has no appetite?Is this a good appetite?Wu Jiu regretted cooking so much for Qi Hou, because Qi Hou actually ate them all. The meat jelly weighed more than a catty, and the white meat was also a big plate, plus a big bowl of cold skin. I'm afraid I'm going to have indigestion.

Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, while Qi Hou put the last fried soybean into his mouth, put down his chopsticks gracefully, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and wiped his hands, then said with a smile: "Two The dishes made by brother really taste the most peaceful."

Wu Jiu could only say: "Thank you for your praise."

Qihou asked people to clean up the dishes, and then he stared at the very cute lollipops in the small plate with a smile on his face. It seemed that he was still full of food, and he wanted to come again A little dessert...

Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched even more, and he said hastily, "Your Majesty, this red fruit is for digestion."

Qi Hou eats so much, it is time to eat some red fruits to relieve his stomach, otherwise he will catch a cold and accumulate food, which will be troublesome.

Qihou has long heard that Wu Jiu made lollipops for Xiao Dier, and Ning Qi also ate them. In fact, the two children have eaten lollipops. .But I never expected that Zhaohu and Dongguoya had eaten it too. Zhaohu especially liked this dish, and praised it when he saw it. There was also Dongguoya, which is very particular about food. Dongguoya also praised Wu Jiu for making it. "Lollipop".

Qihou felt unbalanced, so many people have eaten Wu Jiu's special dim sum, why haven't he eaten it?He waited for a long time, and one day passed, but Wu Jiao still didn't bring him over, so he had to send someone over to call Wu Jiao over.

Now Qihou finally got his wish, looking at the red, round, and steaming red fruit popsicles, he felt a little greedy.

Qi Hou picked up the lollipop from the plate, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it first, then opened his mouth, and took the lollipop into his mouth.

Qihou's lips are not thick, not plump, they look a little thin, he seems to be a serious and fickle person, when he opened his lips, he could vaguely see the tip of his tongue. went in.

Qihou's eyes widened for a moment, as if he felt that the taste of this lollipop was very special. It was cold and refreshing, and the red fruit was sour and sweet, which was particularly exciting. There was also the aroma of caramel and the mellowness of honey, which was indescribably delicious.

Qi Hou was already full, with this lollipop in his mouth, he felt like he could eat ten lollipops!

Qihou held the lollipop, and licked it a few times with the tip of his tongue. The bright red fruit became even more shiny immediately, stained with some water mist, and looked extraordinarily beautiful. Wu Jiao hurriedly lowered his head and coughed lightly With a sound, divert your gaze.

I always feel that the scene of Marquis Qi eating a lollipop is not as silly as imagined, but it's really a bit... unbearable.

Qihou liked this lollipop very much, no wonder Zhaohu and Dong Guoya praised it very much, it turned out to be really delicious, Qihou ate three lollipops in a row, at first he took a sip, then he ate them with crunchy bites , Wu Jiu's scalp was numb after biting, and he felt that Qi Hou's eating was too cruel.

Qihou wiped out three lollipops, the ones with red fruits had already been eaten, and the ones with other fruit juice flavors were left. He was reluctant to part with them, carefully put them aside, and then smiled and said to Wu Jiao: "I ate the lollipops made by the second brother." Sugar, I suddenly feel hungry again."

Wu Jiu almost fainted for a moment, feeling that if it wasn't for the strength of Qi, Marquis Qi would be able to govern the country well, and the granary in Qi country is not enough to feed Marquis Qi, and Marquis Qi's "belly capacity" is too big, he just ate so much. Too much, I just ate a little red fruit, and I was hungry again. This is still afternoon tea, not a meal...

Qihou smiled and picked up another lollipop, eating the lollipop while reading the documents. Wu Jiu was watching and snickering beside him. When Wu Jiao smiled, Qihou raised his head and said, "Second brother, you Do you want to eat too?"

As Marquis Qi said, he even lifted the lollipop he had held up to Wu Jiu's mouth. Wu Jiao was startled and hurried to hide, but his mouth was still touched, and in an instant, "Boom! "With a sound, it almost exploded, and his face flushed immediately.

Wu Jiu hurriedly wiped his lips with his sleeve, and Qi Hou was made to laugh out loud by his action, and said, "Second brother still likes to be clean so much."

In fact, Wu Jiu did not suffer from cleanliness. Just now, if Qi Hou reminded him, Wu Jiao almost forgot that he still has cleanliness. It was obviously something that Qi Hou ate that touched his mouth, and Wu Jiu’s first For a moment, I didn't feel dirty, but felt... very embarrassed.

For Wu Jiao, who has no experience in love, he just felt very embarrassed, but he also felt something was vaguely wrong, and he felt a little inexplicably flustered.

Wu Jiu said hastily, "Your Majesty is busy with work, so Jiu will take his leave first."

Qihou didn't force him to stay, he thought Wu Jiu was unhappy with his actions just now, so he said: "Second brother has worked hard, let's go back and rest first, Muxiu also called you to the palace, in fact, you are alone. I can't leave my second brother for a moment, and I don't feel at ease if I can't see my second brother."

Wu Jiu listened to Qi Hou start to say nasty words again, and complained in his heart that he couldn't leave himself for a moment, obviously he was greedy, and the words were so high-sounding...

Wu Jiu's rest has only lasted until today. When he returned to his mansion, he only saw Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, where is Yan'e?"

Ziqing smiled and said: "Today, Mr. Xing is going back to Xing Country, and Yan'e is going to see him off."

Wu Jiu was taken aback, Xing Hou left too hastily, Wu Jiu didn't even have time to talk to Xing Hou, thank Xing Guo for sending troops.

However, because of the many affairs of Xing State, and just after a battle with Yu Man, there are many follow-up matters that need to be dealt with by Xing Hou. It is inconvenient for Xing Hou to stay in Qi State for a long time.

Yan'e went to send Xinghou off, so it was Qihou's intention, and Qihou wanted to match this couple. Firstly, Xinghou is also the king of the country. Although Xingguo is a little smaller, secondly, Xinghou's intentions are very sincere. So far, there is no wife, so Qihou let go, and wanted to find such a good family for Yan'e, which can be regarded as repaying Yan'e's loyalty in his previous life.

Wu Jiu waited for a while, and it was almost dusk when Yan E came back, and after returning, dinner was served, Yan E stood by the side, a little lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

As soon as Wu Jiu looked up, he saw her in a trance, and immediately burst out laughing. It was clearly the performance of the little girl Huaichun. It must be because Xing Hou was young and promising, tall and handsome, and a real gentleman. Very polite, Yan'e was already a little moved.

Wu Jiu teased Yan'e with a smile, and said, "Yan'e, what are you thinking?"

Yan'e turned around and said, "No...it's nothing, my lord."

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and squinted, and said with a smile, "Huh? Nothing?"

As soon as Ziqing saw it, he knew that Wu Jiu was going to tease Yan'e, and Yan'e would definitely suffer.

Wu Jiu said, "Are you thinking of Duke Xing?"

Yan E blushed and said, "No, no!"

Wu Jiu smiled again and said, "That's right. Although Mr. Xing is a king, he is modest and gentleman, and he speaks politely. No wonder my Yan'e is tempted."

Yan'e's face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "My lord, you...you..."

As Yan'e spoke, she became dazed again, and said, "My maid... this maid is just very strange. Since I was a child, this is the first time someone treats my maid so preciously and carefully. This maid is just weird."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu smiled and said to Ziqing: "Oh, Ziqing, the water that this married daughter spilled out, we two treat Yan'e well, right? Yan'e actually said that it was the first time someone treated her like that." Baby, it's so sad."

Hearing Wu Jiu's words, Ziqing couldn't help but also laughed. Yan'e was laughed at by them, and immediately said angrily, "That...that's different."

Wu Jiu said, "Why is it different?"

Yan'e said: "Of course it's different. Young Master and Brother Ziqing treat Yan'e like relatives. Mr. Xing treats Yan'e..."

As she spoke, she froze immediately. Looking at the smiling Wu Jiu, Yan'e instantly felt that she had been deceived, almost being fooled!

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "How do you treat me? Is it gentle like water?"

Yan'e didn't dare to speak any more, she just said, "My lord, you...you bully people."

Yan'e was beaten to death and stopped talking, no matter how much Wu Jiao coaxed him, he would not let go. It seemed that Yan'e was really tempted by Xinghou.

Wu Jiu was thinking, what kind of feeling does it feel to be tempted?

Meticulous, gentle as water, considerate and caring, it seems that Qihou has done all these things, but Wu Jiu can't believe it, and he can't believe it.

It's just that on the one hand, he can't believe it and abide by his duty, but on the other hand, he often loses his mind. Wu Jiao feels that he may be terminally ill. If he continues to let it go like this, there may be no cure for it one day.

There is no cure, what does it feel like?

Wu Jiu went to the Political Affairs Hall the next day, and started to work after the vacation.

This day, Gao Xi, the supervisor of the state who was sent to the Luo division as an envoy, also returned. The reason why the Marquis of Qi asked Gao Xi to be an envoy to the Luo division was actually very simple. It was because Gao Xi was the emperor's confidant. Will believe two points more.

Gao Xi returned to the country and brought the emperor's documents, Qi Hou immediately summoned Gao Xi, the emperor said that he already knew about the affairs of Zheng Guo, and Song Gong had also sent envoys here before.

However, the emperor's words were ambiguous, and he did not say that Zheng Guo should be punished. He just said that it was not Zheng Guo's original intention, but the meaning of the rebellious minister Fu Xia who had been killed. Zheng Bo also wanted to express to Qi Guo and Song Guo I'm sorry, so the Son of Heaven will come forward and prepare to let Qi, Song and Zheng come forward to form an alliance to mediate the conflict.

When Qi Hou heard it, he knew what it meant. The meaning was very simple, because Zheng Guo was next to Luo Shi. Although Zheng Guo was far less powerful than Zheng Zhuanggong's time, the emperor had just ascended the throne and did not dare to challenge Zheng Guo, so The Son of Heaven intends to make peace with Si Ni and act as a peacemaker to settle the matter.

As for himself, this matter has nothing to do with the Son of Heaven. Anyway, it was Wu Jiu and Duke Song who were assassinated, and Master Luo did not lose anything. If the Son of Heaven upholds justice and offends Zheng Guo, it is really not worthwhile.

Although Qi Hou knew that Hu Qi was incompetent, he didn't expect Hu Qi to have a relationship with Si Ni. He sneered when he saw this reply, but he didn't express his opinion in person.

After all, Gao Xi is the supervisor of the emperor. Although Gao Xi advocated supporting Qi Hou to ascend the throne, Gao Xi is still the emperor's man, and then he is from the Qi state. Therefore, it is inconvenient for Qi Hou to express his opinions on the emperor in front of him.

Gao Xi cupped her hands and said, "There is one more thing, Gao Xi needs to report to Your Majesty."

Qihou put the document aside, let out a "card!", and said, "Gao Zi, please tell me."

Then Gao Xi cupped his hands and said: "Actually, this time, the emperor has another matter to discuss with the emperor. This is a document."

Gao Xi presented a roll of lambskin to Marquis Qi, and Marquis Qi unfolded it, and the emperor didn't explain what happened to Qi State, Song State, and Zheng State, but remembered another matter.

That is Wu Jiu, who has made great achievements in Qi State many times, and has made a ten-year contract with Feng Moren. He is not married yet and has no wife.

The Son of Heaven knows how powerful Wu Jiu is, and now Wu Jiu has power in his hands. He is the chief farmer of Qi, and he has money. He has noticed Wu Jiu and wants to win Wu Jiu over.

It was clearly written on the lambskin that Hu Qi had a daughter who was about to get married this year, and wanted to ask Qi Hou about marrying this daughter to Wu Jiu as his wife.

When Qihou saw it, his heart suddenly "thumped". Logically speaking, he had three wives, and Wu Jiu, as the second brother, should actually have a wife.

But Wu Jiu doesn't have any wives around him, so if you think about it carefully, you will know the reason, because when Wu Jiu's "cheap father" Qi Xigong was in power, he already knew that Prince Jiu was not his own son, but Lu Ji's surreptitious son. However, for the sake of Qi and Lu's face, Lu was still very powerful at that time, so he couldn't make it public, and could only raise cheap sons for others.

When son Jiu grows up, Duke Xi of Qi doesn't like the second son, son Jiu, and the motherless son Xiaobai, so he treats these two children as free-range, not as good as his nephew Gongsun Wuzhi.

Although there are many women around the son Jiu, he has no wife at all. Later, the state of Qi was in turmoil and civil strife broke out, and the son Jiu fled to the state of Lu. Although the state of Lu is Lu Ji's natal family, it is also profitable. Naturally, he will not correct the young master about Zhang Luo.

Later, Young Master Jiu was pissed off. Wu Jiu was originally a pure-hearted person, so he didn't have this kind of thought, so he kept procrastinating.

Although it is procrastinating, it does not mean that Wu Jiao is not in demand. In the beginning, Wu Jiao was indeed not in demand, because he was a cook, but later he became Da Xing Jiao, then Special Envoy Jiu, and then Da Sinong. He was promoted step by step, and recently the Marquis of Qi had vaguely suggested that Wu Jiu should be the Prime Minister of the country. How could such a Wu Jiu not be sought after?

The wealthy gentry daughter of the Qi State almost broke his head and wanted to marry Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu didn't have the intention. Moreover, he recently discovered that his sexual orientation may be problematic, so it's even worse to harm the girl.

When Qi Hou looked at the document, he knew that Zhou Tianzi was a cunning person. He wanted to win over his cronies. Firstly, he won over Wu Jiao, that is, he won over a wealthy gentry; Rooting the backbone of the Qi state is of no harm to the emperor of Zhou.

Qi Hou saw it very thoroughly, but smiled on his face, and said: "The emperor favors the second brother, this is the blessing of Qi."

After hearing this, Gao Xi said hesitantly, "It's just...Your Majesty..."

When he said this, Marquis Qi knew what Gao Xi meant. After all, Wu Jiu was also someone who had fought for the throne with Marquis Qi. In Gao Xi's eyes, this kind of person had to be eliminated. It cannot be eradicated, but it cannot be allowed to marry the emperor.

Gao Xi said: "Forgive Gao Xi for talking too much, now Da Sinong's position in the court is becoming more and more stable, from the scholar-bureaucrats down to Shanfu eunuchs, all of them look forward to Da Sinonong's horse, this shows that your lord He has a unique vision and is good at employing people, and Da Sinong is also talented and good at governing the country, but on the other hand... Da Sinong is so popular, it is already expected by everyone, if he marries the emperor again, wouldn't it be..."

Qi Hou laughed lowly, he knew Gao Xi was thinking this way, although Qi Hou didn't care about Wu Jiu's high position and weight, he just wanted to support Wu Jiu, at first he planned to imitate Zheng Zhuanggong, but later he became a real supporter , although Qi Hou and Gao Xi had different starting points, they both wanted to go to one place, and Wu could not be allowed to marry the daughter of Zhou Tianzi.

Qihou pretended to agree and frowned and nodded, moaning and said: "Gaozi's words are very reasonable, and Gu also considered this, but the emperor proposed a beautiful thing, if Gu refuses, it seems not very respectful, Gaozi What do you say?"

At this time, Gao Xi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if your Majesty wants to reject the emperor's kindness, Gao Xi asks for an envoy, and then speaks to the emperor in detail, and he will surely be able to persuade the emperor."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi realized that Gao Xi had fallen for the trick, and immediately smiled and said, "Gao Zi is Gu's most trusted senior official, and also a good teacher and helpful friend. Then this time, Gao Xi will reject the Son of Heaven. It's really helpful."

Gao Xi still felt that Qihou thought highly of him, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Gao Xi takes orders, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Qihou said with a smile: "Okay, oh yes..."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "This matter...Gao Zi also knows to keep it a secret from Da Sinong?"

Gao Xi misunderstood what Qi Hou meant when he heard it. Gao Xi thought that Qi Hou was going to suppress Wu Jiu secretly, and he couldn't let Wu Jiu feel it, otherwise it might break if it was too tight, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes. , Gao Xi understands."

Qi Hou nodded, he knew that Gao Xi had misunderstood again, but he just wanted Gao Xi to misunderstand, if Wu Jiu heard about this matter, wouldn't it be bad if Wu Jiu wanted to marry a wife?What if Wu Jiu had no intention of marrying, but misunderstood that he suspected and suppressed him, wouldn't it be even worse?

Therefore, Marquis Qi needs Gao Xi to keep it a secret, so it is good to secretly refuse this matter.

Gao Xi completely misunderstood the meaning of Marquis Qi, and exited the Lu bedroom mysteriously. After he came out, he happened to meet Guo Yizhong who came to the Lu bedroom. Guo Yizhong stopped Gao Xi and said, "Mr. , how about that matter?"

When Gao Xi came to the palace, he met Guo Yizhong, so he told Guo Yizhong that the emperor wanted to recruit Wu Jiu as his son-in-law. Guo Yizhong and Gao Xi had the same idea and did not want Wu Jiu to gain too much power. , so asked Gao Xi to persuade Qihou.

Gao Xi thought that he needed to persuade Qihou, but he didn't know that Qihou didn't need to persuade him.

Gao Xi said in a low voice: "Doctor Guo, don't worry, Your Majesty has already said just now that if the emperor recruits Da Sinong as his son-in-law, if you suppress it, you don't need to tell Da Sinoong. I will go to Luoshi again in a few days. Just reject this matter."

When Guo Yizhong heard this, he put his heart in his stomach, the two saluted, Gao Xi walked out, and Guo Yizhong went to Lu's bedroom to report important matters.

Those two people went back and forth like this, but they didn't expect their words to be overheard by others...

Shenyou is Xiu Mu today, but he didn’t stay at home, but ran to the palace. Before he entered the palace, he flattered Qihou. Because he was busy, he couldn't see the doctor who hadn't been summoned, so Shenyou didn't see Qihou.

Shenyou was not reconciled to leaving like this, so he waited for a while beside the Lu bedroom, hoping to meet the scholar-bureaucrats by chance and make friends.

Unexpectedly, I saw Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong whispering in a low voice, but they didn't see Shenyou, but Shenyou could hear them clearly.

Shenyou is a smart man, his intelligence is no less than that of Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong. Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi would not let Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong spread the word. The emperor wanted to recruit Wu Jiu as his son-in-law. Marquis Qi didn't even tell Wu Jiu, but let Gao Xi suppress him, what does this mean?

When the examiner thought about it, he immediately "figured it out". This meant that Wu Jiu was finally beginning to fall out of favor, and Qi Hou was beginning to be afraid of his status and rights. If he wanted to take Wu Jiu out of the picture, he would naturally start by suppressing the forces. If Wu Jiu really became the son-in-law of Emperor Zhou, then Wu Jiu's power in Qi and even among the vassal states would rapidly expand.

In fact, Gao Xiguo Yizhong and Shenyou both thought too much. Qi Hou didn't want Wu Jiu to be the daughter of the emperor. The reason is very simple, because Qi Hou likes Wu Jiu, how could he let Wu Jiu marry someone else?

Although Shenyou didn't see Qihou today, he felt that he had picked up a big deal. Hearing such a huge news, he seemed to have guessed Qihou's true intentions, and sneered in his heart. It seemed that Wu Jiu was about to fall out of favor.

Shenyou is from the Sino-Nong department, that is, Wu Jiu's subordinate, so he was very proud of this, so he went out of the palace to drink.

Shenyou drank outside all day, and the more he drank, the more complacent he became. As a result, when it was time for him to enter the palace the next day, Shenyou couldn't wake up.

Wu Jiu arrived at the Political Affairs Hall early, and there was a meeting today. To sum up the big and small things these days, everyone also arrived at the Political Affairs Hall one after another. Zhan Huo and Guan Yiwu walked in one after another, and sat down in their seats. .

Because it was still early, everyone chatted casually, waiting for other bureaucrats to enter the political affairs hall one after another.

Soon the time will come, and everyone will be there, but there is no friend of the judge alone.

When it was time for the hall meeting, the examiner still hadn't arrived, Wu Jiu frowned impatiently, tapped the table lightly with the slips, and said, "The examiner didn't come, did you ask for leave?"

When he said this, he was surrounded by people who looked at me and looked at you. He had never heard of the fact that the trial doctor wanted to ask for leave, and today was a hall meeting. If he wanted to ask for leave, he would have to miss today.

Wu Jiu waited for a while, seeing that he had already missed the meeting time, he frowned in displeasure, and one of the officials whispered: "The villain saw Dr. Judgment yesterday, and Dr. Judgment seemed to be drinking outside. The drunk ones were carried back by the servants, so I'm afraid they won't be able to wake up today?"

Shenyou is usually very arrogant, but now he doesn't come to the meeting, and he hasn't asked for leave, so it is necessary for someone to wear small shoes for him, not to mention that these shoes are ready-made.

Hearing this, Wu Jiao immediately showed an unhappy expression on his face. It can be said that it was the same in his previous life. Wu Jiao is a workaholic. He is meticulous about work, and he is very punctual. Wu Jiao hates not being punctual. People who make others wait are very discredited.

Wu Jiu said in a cold voice, "Don't wait any longer, go and bring over all the documents in the trial case."

"Yes."

A few small officials next to him hurriedly stood up and went to bring over the documents that Shenyou was in charge of, and put them on the case. Wu Jiu didn't know what Shenyou wanted to report today, so he had to unfold the documents one by one.

When Wu Jiu saw the fourth and fifth documents, his face froze immediately, and then his face turned black. No one has ever seen the gentle Wu Jiu with such an ugly face. He is usually smiling, or he is amiable. Yes, and he speaks softly. If it weren't for his vigorous and vigorous work, he really wouldn't be able to see that he is a ruthless master.

At this time, Wu Jiu's face was so dark that it was the bottom of the pot, and he looked like a strong Qihou. Just when everyone was too angry to breathe, he suddenly heard "Step...step, step!" With the sound of footsteps, Shenyou finally walked in despite being late for such a long time.

He didn't even put on his official robe, and his hat was crooked. He walked in staggeringly. It was obvious that he had drunk too much and was suffering from a hangover.

As soon as Shenyou walked in, before he could see what was going on, he heard a loud noise of "啪!!!", which made Shenyou tremble in fright. up.

When the officials next to him saw it, if it wasn't for Wu Jiu's ugly face, they would have laughed out loud, and quickly suppressed it. At this moment, they didn't want to laugh out loud as a punching bag.

Shenyou was startled, quickly picked up his official hat, and saw Wu Jiu sitting at the top, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, just now was the sound of the bamboo slips being slammed on the desk.

Shenyou was frightened at first, then he gave Wu Jiu a disdainful look, his attitude was very arrogant, he didn't show courtesy, and he didn't say why he was late.

Wu Jiao looked at him coldly and said, "Mr. Judge, I will not ask about your lateness for the time being. This document was made more than ten days ago. Why didn't you report it?"

Shenyou actually asked, "What document?"

When he said this, the people next to him were startled, because Wu Jiao's face was very ugly, extremely serious and cold, and the examiner still looked like he didn't care, and he was very angry. Sure enough, seeing Wu Jiao's face was even more embarrassing, "Papa !” With a sound, he threw the bamboo slips at Shenyou’s feet.

The friend of the trial was smashed, and he yelled "Ouch", still arrogant and disdainful, everyone didn't know the reason, and thought that the friend of the trial today had taken some wrong medicine, otherwise why was he so attentive before, wishing to flatter his horse all the time , Just drank once, and the attitude became like this?

Guan Yiwu and Zhan Huo next to each other glanced at the document lying on the ground, and immediately understood why Wu Jiu was so angry. It turned out to be a document sent by the State of Lu.

The document was written by Zang Chen himself, and Zhanhuo can still recognize this note. The content is naturally a confession, because Song Gong’s marriage and crusade against Suiguo had delayed the confession, but Qihou had already agreed. As long as the Lu people are willing to borrow the tripod, they will sell grain to them.

Wu Jiu had always wondered why there was no news from the state of Lu, did he buy grain from other countries?Seeing it now, it's not that there is no news from Lu State, but because the news is backlogged in Shenyou's hands and he didn't report it immediately. Such a big event has been backlogged for half a month.

Wu Jiu looked at the judge coldly, and said, "The State of Lu has filed a lawsuit against you, how urgent it is, this document is backlogged in your master's hands, do you know how serious the consequences will be? If you don't report it, others won't know about your trial. Who is the friend, but let the king, let Qi be criticized for breaking his promise and getting fat!"

Due to the backlog of interrogation friends, Qi State has never responded to Lu State. This makes the people of Lu State think what they think, and think that Qi State is deliberately ambiguous.

Listening to Wu Jiao scolding himself coldly, Shenyou became more and more unconvinced, thinking that Wu Jiao is just a minister who is about to fall out of favor, why should he scold him like this, it is just a backlog for a few days, and the Lu people did not What to say, with my own ingenuity, these backlogs of documents can be processed in two days, so there is no need to worry at all.

Shenyou was not convinced, and gave a cold laugh. Everyone felt that Shenyou might have eaten bad food, otherwise how could his attitude become like this today?

Shenyou said disdainfully: "I'm really sorry, before Da Si Nong took office, we used to handle paperwork in this way, more than ten days is not too long, this is Si Nong's practice, it's really common, I'm afraid Is it because Da Sinong is not used to it?"

In fact, what Shenyou said is correct. The former Da Sinong was too easy-going, unable to control others, and he was old and weak, so he resigned and returned to his hometown when he couldn't do what he wanted. , the habit of not completing until the last moment.

But since Wu Jiu took office, the three fires have been burning very vigorously, and everyone's speed has also increased. No one dares to accumulate things in their hands.

What's more, the matter of the state of Lu suing for the purchase is not an ordinary official business. Even in the past, the state of loose skin and tight muscles was reported to the hand, and it was urgently reported to the superior. No one would be like Shen You. For more than ten days, I have been able to go back and forth to Qilu twice in these ten days, and the country of Lu has not received a reply. What do people in the country of Lu think?

Shenyou's attitude was extremely arrogant, and others were afraid of being implicated, so Wu Jiao sneered and said, "Okay, since Dr. Shen misses his old boss so much, let's do this, come here, let's take off Dr. Shen's official hat, and let the trial go." He accompanied his old boss and went back to his hometown to farm."

When he said this, everyone was not surprised. If anyone was the chief minister, he would definitely be angry when he heard Shenyou's tone.

But Shenyou laughed and said: "If you want to dismiss my official position, you can dismiss my official position? When I was a scholar-bureaucrat, you were still a fake son! Oh, Da Sinong probably doesn't know it yet, Mr. God doesn't like to see you anymore, don't be a tyrant anymore."

As he said that, he saw other people looking at him with surprised and foolish eyes, and immediately said: "Don't you believe it, this is absolutely true, Jian Guo Gaozi came back from Luoshi, and you guys are right about it. Do you know? Doctor Gao said that the Son of Heaven wants to recruit Da Si Nong as his son-in-law, guess what Your Majesty said?"

Everyone heard the "inside story" revealed by Shenyou, and immediately looked at each other. Gao Xi came back from Luoshi, this is something everyone knows, and just after returning, Qihou summoned Gao Xi, and had a secret talk for a while, and nothing was revealed to the outside world. disclose.

Shenyou continued: "Your Majesty said that you don't need to tell Da Sinong about this, haha, what does it mean?"

Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect that Marquis Qi would do such a thing, secretly asking Gao Xi to refuse, it's really a bit strange
