Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

How to do?

escape?He didn't dare not to say that even if he escaped successfully, he didn't even have a household registration, and he was completely unfamiliar with this era. Could it be that he had been hiding in the mountains all his life as a savage?

If he didn't leave, he always felt that this imperial mausoleum was full of dangers. He didn't know when, he might be thrown out to feed the wolves just like the young man who died tragically.

In order to ensure that he would not be thrown out to feed the wolves, Xia Xiaoqiao had to spend more energy to please his current boss. Not only did he make deep-fried cicadas, but he also took the time to catch fish in the river, and prepared them to be braised in soy sauce and sent to his boss. liquor.

As a result, he sneaked into the kitchen with the fish, and the chef who was already acquainted with him was shocked when he saw him holding the fish!

"Xiao Xia, what are you catching fish for? Hurry up and throw it out!"

"Eat, this fish is so fat. But then again, I just realized that there are so many fish in the river. They are fat, big and easy to catch. Don't you usually eat fish?"

"Eat fish?! You little aristocratic bastard! Can our fish be eaten?" The chef pulled Xia Xiaoqiao over, grabbed the fish that was strung on the wicker in his hand, and threw it out.

"You don't have eyes? Here, there are eighty criminal slaves who throw themselves into the river every year to die in that river! Why are the fish in the river so fat? They all eat human flesh! The fish you Dare to grab and eat?"

"Ugh!!!" As if thinking of something, Xia Xiaoqiao covered his mouth and vomited out the steamed buns he ate in the morning.

After throwing up, Xia Xiaoqiao was thankful that he wanted to catch this fish today and cook it for his boss, but luckily he didn't think about trying it first.

The ingredients in the water were unusable, so Xia Xiaoqiao could only turn his attention to the vast mountains around the imperial mausoleum, and asked for some discarded arrow branches from the patrol team, Xia Xiaoqiao set up a few simple traps near the imperial mausoleum, Successfully caught a gray rabbit.

The boss ate the delicious dry-stir-fried wild rabbit meat, and when he was happy, he simply transferred Xia Xiaoqiao to the kitchen again. This kid is so good at cooking, it's a waste to go to light the lamp.

His life was saved for the time being, and he unexpectedly got a new job that was a bit oily. Xia Xiaoqiao was so happy that he wished to burn incense sticks to his dead grandmother and old lady: Thank the ancestors for the food and for giving him good cooking skills!

Xia Xiaoqiao, who happily started eating and drinking in the kitchen, didn't know that, not far from the imperial mausoleum, a vigorous peasant uprising was slowly devouring the land that was already precarious in the riots. kingdom.

However, even if he knows, what does this have to do with him?Anyway, the ruler of the North Vietnamese country had already left a bad impression of cruelty and inhumanity in his heart. According to the history books, such an emperor was definitely the cannon fodder for the subjugated country!By the way, use him to be fatuous and cruel, to set off the new emperor's brilliance and martial arts, etc. In short, he is a cannon fodder villain, not worth caring at all.

However, it didn't take long for Xia Xiaoqiao to sadly discover that the matter of whether the North Vietnam was destroyed or not really had something to do with him, and it was very direct: they haven't received their monthly payment for two consecutive months!More importantly, the various offerings and paper money dedicated to the late emperor that were delivered on time every month in the past have never been delivered again.

"What's going on?" People in the kitchen were panic-stricken. There was no food, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden alone were not enough to eat. The patrol team had to send people down the mountain to buy some staple foods such as rice and noodles for emergency.

"Hey! As I said, you are not allowed to spread the word. I heard the soldiers who went out to buy rice come back and say that the mountain is already in chaos! There are uprising rebels everywhere, under the banner of 'killing the innocent and punishing the tyrant', They said they wanted to hit the imperial city and burn the emperor to death."

"Shh! Can you say this kind of thing here? You want to die so don't implicate us!" A person next to him hurriedly covered his mouth, "However, we have to make preparations early. I heard that the guardian of the imperial tomb Those big bosses are all tidying up, ready to flee to neighboring countries for asylum at any time!"

"Then what should we do? They all ran away, what if the rebels come?"

"Who cares about you?! Seek good fortune for yourself! Anyway, I have made up my mind. If there is a real mess, I will carry the iron pot and go to the mountains to hide. I will come out when the world is peaceful. They always do this during military disasters, and I said, should we go together?"

"Okay, okay." Several old people in the kitchen got together to discuss, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and squeezed out the newcomer Xia Xiaoqiao.The more helpers there are when fleeing, the better. A delicate and frail burden like Xia Xiaoqiao, of course, can be taken without it.

After Xia Xiaoqiao figured it out, he didn't go any further, and he didn't bother to explain to these people that those peasant rebels wouldn't come to the imperial mausoleum to make trouble, at least not in the short term. The superstitious ancients would not do anything unless it was absolutely necessary.The leader of the rebel army with a little brain, the first thing to do now is to attack the big cities. The people in the big cities have more money, more food, and the economic foundation determines the victory or defeat of a war. Only by accumulating enough capital can we overturn it in one fell swoop. The fatuous old emperor from the previous dynasty, why don't you go and sit on that dragon chair by yourself?

Perhaps, when the war is over and the leader of the rebel army gains the world, he will treat the so-called orphans of the previous dynasty kindly with "the emperor's kindness", and the imperial mausoleum of the former emperor will naturally not be moved, so as to tell the common people: I am the one you have always been. The benevolent gentleman I look forward to!You see, I am so merciful to my enemies, let alone you as the people?Hurry up and fall into my merciful arms!

Therefore, Xia Xiaoqiao, who has been influenced by thousands of years of dark culture, has reason to believe that if war breaks out, only the tomb of the founding emperor of the previous dynasty will be the safest!

Of course, the premise of all this is that no one will take advantage of the chaos to rob the tomb of the emperor.

Thinking of the various tomb-robbing novels she loved to read before crossing, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a headache: Why is it so difficult to be a beautiful cook quietly?

Troubled times are approaching, and Xia Xiaoqiao is troubled not only by people, but also by the founding emperor and former North Vietnamese emperor Jiang Yuanzhen who was admired by the people of North Vietnam.

"I just want to be a free ghost in peace, why is it so difficult?" Jiang Yuanzhen walked around in his luxurious tomb very violently, kicking over several internal official ghosts who were buried with him.

Ghosts are not so easy to be. Those who think that "there is no need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, and you will sleep forever after death" are either lonely ghosts or evil ghosts who are destined to be sentenced to various criminal laws by the Palace of Hades, like him. There are household registration, status, prestige, and family "four existences" famous ghosts. After death, there are countless trivial matters waiting for him to deal with. The children in Shenma's family were frightened by ghosts, the males in the family encountered a career bottleneck, and the elderly in the family Seriously ill, there are still people asking about marriage... In short, these unfilial sons will burn incense and kneel to worship him whenever they have something to do, and they have to do things after receiving the sacrifice, otherwise they are hooligans.Sometimes, Jiang Yuanzhen couldn't help thinking secretly: The reason why these grandsons buried so many internal officials and soldiers and non-commissioned officers with him was not just for the convenience of him doing things for them at any time below, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanzhen wished he could run out immediately and smash the luxurious altar outside!These turtle grandchildren only know to spend all their money on the decoration of the altar, but they don't want to pay attention to the sacrifices that are really for him to enjoy. Year after year, they are either cattle, horses, pigs, sheep or all kinds of fresh fruits, even grains. The raw ones are served, so let him cook the hemp eggs himself? !Such unworthy descendants deserve to destroy the country!

I think he died in a hurry back then, and he didn't have time to elaborate on the sacrificial offerings in the will. Later, he also found an opportunity to go back in a dream and tell the grandchildren what he wanted to eat. As a result, the grandsons were very happy when they woke up. Thinking that the ancestor Tuomeng told them the new method of ingredients, he enjoyed it himself first. Since the sacrifice given to him was an old routine passed down from generation to generation, he was really mad!

"I hope that the new chef will work harder during the grand ceremony, otherwise I won't let these bastards go!" the former Beida Emperor gritted his teeth.
