Be a sick and weak noble son in Daqin

Most of the firewood at the bottom of the pot was removed, leaving the embers to simmer slowly. After the lid was lifted, white mist evaporated, and the smell of meat became more and more overbearing, making people's hearts itchy and unbearable.

Wei Gong, who was sitting in the side hall, finally couldn't sit still, he scolded the poor boy who didn't save him any face, and then walked out with a straight face.

Prince Xi swallowed while looking at the steaming cauldron, he had never wanted to eat anything so much in his life, the young boy couldn't help it, so he looked up at their uncle and said pitifully, "Uncle, Xi'er is hungry."

"It should be ready to eat." Wei Ji took some pieces of meat for his eldest nephew in a small bowl and put them aside to dry, lest he would be scalded and stopped from moving his chopsticks, "Don't worry, there's still a lot in the pot, there's nothing here People will rob you."

Before the words were finished, Wei Gong, who was pacing up, took the bowl away under the unbelievable eyes of his son, regardless of the relationship between father and son, took a piece of meat with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it carefully, and then spoke seriously Said, "The meat is fresh and tender, very delicious."

Wei Ji: ...

Brother, your son is about to cry.

Wei Ji looked helplessly at his elder brother who expressed his dissatisfaction in another way, and took a small bowl for his eldest nephew, and said in front of his elder brother, "Xi'er, good boy, I will do more for you in the future." For food, the two of us cook secretly, without your father seeing."

The young boy who was targeted by his father was aggrieved with tears in his eyes, holding the small bowl and hiding away from his father, for fear that the bowl in his hand would be snatched away again.

A smile flashed in Wei Gong's eyes, Ren Baobao's younger brother and his son made small moves, put down the bowl and said, "Ji'er seems to have brought back a lot of things from Qin."

"It's still sorting out. There are a lot of useful things. I thought I'd show it to you after I finished it. If my brother is interested, I can take some away later." Wei Ji nodded, seeing his brother's thoughtful appearance Added another sentence, "It's all grains for food. The land of Weiguo is fertile and flat. If the people of the country can cultivate it, the harvest will be better."

"Food with grain?" Wei Gong looked at the nervous young man with a half-smile, but in the end he didn't ask anything, he just picked up the bowl and cleaned up all the fresh and tender goose meat in it, "Food and goods are the living people. Ji'er has a heart."

If Qin State had high-yield grains, it would not have been beaten like that by Wei State a few years ago. Does the poor boy really think that he is a stupid king who does not care about government affairs?

Alas, who told him to be a good brother who loves his younger brother, if he is stupid, then he will be stupid, and he can't expose it.

Having said that, the goose stewed in an iron pot is more delicious than the ones I have eaten before. In comparison, it seems that even the state banquet of Zhou Tianzi is dull.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Wei Ji asked people to fish out all the meat in the pot, and sent an earthen pot to Guiguzi, and put the rest on the table to be favored by his elder brother and eldest nephew.

The understanding of delicacy in this era is still very shallow, even for the nobles. In the final analysis, there are still too few edible things, and there are only those few kinds no matter how they are cooked.

Zhongming Dingshi is majestic, and Dading Boiled Meat is full of shocking power, but the food is not necessarily delicious, there is not enough seasoning, and what you eat is just that momentum.

But the momentum is okay. The most important thing about food is the taste. If the taste is not good, no matter how big the momentum is.

The state of Wei is one of the countries that has inherited the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty most comprehensively. Its food is also very close to that of King Luoyang of Zhou Dynasty. The state banquet of the emperor has the beauty of eight treasures. Only the state banquet can have these eight treasures. It sounds very precious, but for For future generations, this is just ordinary meals and six dishes.

The so-called eight treasures are Chunao, Chunmu, Paoyu, Paoyu, Daozhen, Zhuanzhen, Aozhen, and Liver.

Chunao and Chunmu are meat sauce poured on the rice, and lard is added. The difference is that one is rice and the other is millet rice. A simple understanding is lard bibimbap with meat sauce.

The two rice dishes in Bazhen are as simple as that, and the remaining six dishes are not too complicated.

Paofu and Paozi are suckling pigs and suckling sheep that are first roasted and then stewed; Daozhen is the tenderloin of cattle, sheep, deer and deer, which are boiled and mashed into meat; Zhuanzhen is fresh meat sliced ​​in wine Marinate overnight and eat raw; it is easier to understand when boiled, five-spice beef jerky, five-spice mutton jerky, five-spice venison jerky...

The last piece of liver, the liver is coated with seasoning and grilled on the fire. It can be eaten after it smells. It's not that he boasted. It's probably not as good as the kebabs he made.

This is still the case for the state banquet of the Son of Heaven, let alone other places. Although this era also pursues delicious food, due to limited conditions, it is still far from reaching the state of later generations.

Prince Xi had a small appetite, so he could only give up the meat on the case. Wei Ji's appetite was not much better than that of his eldest nephew. Among the three, only Wei Gong himself had a normal appetite.

The stewed goose meat was served with fragrant and soft noodles. This meal was very satisfying for several people. The cook and waiters were watching by the side. After the masters finished eating, they put away the good meat, and then picked it up early in the morning. The unpalatable bones that came out were eaten separately.

The taste is so fragrant, even if only the soup is served with barley rice, it will be delicious.

The smell of meat in the air lingers for a long time. Many people in the palace are tickled. The servants dare not have any thoughts. Everyone sent people out to inquire about the situation.

It is not suitable for children to be present at this time. Of course, it has to be handled by the elder brother himself. Wei Ji winked at his elder brother and asked Prince Xi to study, and then he took Xiao A and Xiao B out of the palace neatly.

This group of beauties are too scary, he should go out and hide.

The palace is such a big place, no matter how much the elder brother raises him as his son, they are not father and son but serious brothers. Xi'er can live here until he is an adult, but he can't stay out all the time.

Even if his brother wasn't worried about the beauties in the harem, he was still worried about how safe he looked.

The streets of Diqiu are very spacious. After all, it is a prosperous capital city. Even if it cannot be rebuilt into a royal city like Chaoge, it still has to look like a capital city.

The decree stipulates that vehicles are not allowed to drive fast on the street, and pedestrians and horses and horses take different paths. Driving here is a symbol of status, not because you are in a hurry.

The Great Hermit is hidden in the city. The mansion of Mr. Wang Xu is located in the middle of the busy city. It takes only one stick of incense to get there from the palace. Wei Ji counted the time and felt that the wheelchair made by the craftsman a few days ago should take shape, so First let Xiao Jia go to a shop not far away, and then sighed, "Mr. Guigu is getting older, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer students studying in the future. Let's come and visit often."

Xiao Yi followed behind with the earthen pot in his arms, his mind was filled with the smell of stewed goose in an iron pot, and he just nodded blankly when he heard their young master talking.

He couldn't imagine how many delicious foods he missed this winter.

There are not many people in Mr. Wang Xu's house. He usually teaches in another place. Only his direct disciples are eligible to live in the house. There are very few young people who can attract his attention. Before Sun Boling came back, he had been in the house for two years. There are not many newcomers.

"What delicious food did you bring today, young master?" The baby-faced young man who came out to open the door saw his eyes light up instantly, invited him in, and then turned the wheelchair back skillfully, "The teacher was still talking about young master just now. There you are."

"How is your recovery these past few days, sir?" Wei Ji asked with a smile, knowing in his heart that the old man's nagging was definitely not about him, but about the food he made.

He has not been idle for so many days since he came back, and he had someone make stone-milled tofu. Spring and summer are suitable for planting, and he has used all the open space in the palace to grow vegetables.

Regarding the baby brother's new hobby, Wei Gong said that besides pampering him, he still pampers him, what else can he do to make him obedient?

It's not a matter of bullying men and women, it's just a few pieces of land, he can afford it.

Sun Boling is in a good mood. Diqiu is a bustling and peaceful city, and it feels completely different from Anyi. After cultivating here for so long, fresh food is delivered from time to time. It is a comfortable life to live in. " The recovery is very good, and Mr. Lao is concerned about it."

In the room, the old man pinched his beard and looked at the earthen pot in front of him, sniffed it with his nose, and then hurriedly asked his servants to serve the dishes.

At the very beginning, he tried to find fault with this ignorant doll. When he was young, he traveled all over the world and never went anywhere. He couldn't see any good things. Would he be overwhelmed by a few bites?

Facts have proved that you can't talk too much, or you will be easily slapped in the face.

The old man chewed the delicious and soft goose meat, and felt that there was no happier moment than now. What is face, and is it important to have something delicious?

Sun Boling had a thorough understanding of their teacher's temperament, just by looking at the way he showed no resistance to the food brought to him now, as long as Young Master Ji spoke again, he would definitely pack his bags and follow.

The baby-faced young man thought seriously, filled his stomach as fast as he could, then slumped on the back of the chair and let out a comfortable sigh, "Young master is really a god."

Wei Ji smiled slightly, "Mr. Ji's origin is enough for one person to know, there is no need to publicize it."

The world is so big, what would happen if there was another little fairy boy like him?

Grandmaster Sun: ...

The young master is powerful, but Boling is willing to bow down.

Mr. Wang Xu wiped the corners of his mouth clean, looked at the two people who were fighting next to him, and said with a smile, "In the battle between Qin and Xirong, the king of Xi Rong won a big victory, and the morale of the Qin army was soaring. What do you think about this?"

"The people of Qin are awesome." Wei Ji simply replied, and after the servants finished clearing away the dishes on the table, Xiao Yi asked the cook in the house to tell how the goose was stewed, and then asked back with frowning eyebrows, " Are you interested in Qin State?"

"That's wrong, the old man is just interested in the young master." The old man said solemnly, and stared back directly after noticing the strange eyes of the disciple next to him, "Look at me, if you are half as smart as someone else, you can still get it!" What's going on now?"

The baby-faced young man rubbed his nose and turned the wheelchair over, moving it while muttering, "Isn't that why you picked it up for being unintelligent? Your son Ji is clever, if you have the ability, give me another little brother!"

And the young master Ji has no clue where to go, don't think he doesn't know, he heard a lot from Jingjian on the way back, if it wasn't for Qin Guogong Ziqian picking him up, young master Ji would have thrown his life outside .

Pang Juan is cruel and ruthless, it is good that he can come back alive.

"Bastard boy, are you asking for a beating?" The old man blew his beard and stared angrily. If he hadn't seen that he was inconvenient to move, he would have picked up a broom and beat him by now. If he wanted to take another apprentice, he would have to be a child willing!

Wei Ji looked amusedly at the quarrel between the master and apprentice, and saw that Sun Boling was stopped by the threshold, so he got up to help him out, "The new wheelchair will be ready soon, and then sir will not be embarrassed by the threshold."

"Very good, very good, thank you, young master." The baby-faced young man replied outside, shook his head after seeing their teacher's expression, and then turned and left seriously. With his temper, it's no wonder that no one came to talk to him now. Is Shu Xiu studying?

Guiguzi's reputation is very famous in all countries, but not many people know that Guiguzi belongs to Wang Xu, especially now that he has been silent for more than ten years, even fewer people know.

Not only do masters pick students, but children also have to pick masters when they enroll in scholars. The masters of other families are amiable and catchy when speaking articles, but this one from their family is very good, with a weird temper and stubborn temper. It is said that God is afraid that he will starve to death here and specially rewards him with food.

Alas, you can't talk about your teacher behind your back as an apprentice. It's very important to respect your teacher. Their teacher is the most knowledgeable and capable teacher in the world. Today is also a day of gentle teaching by the teacher.

Wei Ji watched the man push the wheelchair away, shook his head, and then sat down in front of the case, "There is also news from the Qin State that one of the Qin scholars is named Wei Yang."

Gongsun Yang, Wei Yang, and Shang Yang, these names are actually the same person. The surnames come from the Ming Dynasty for marriage. It's okay to change a clan every once in a while.

Gongsun Yang is a descendant of the Gong family in Weiguo, and he is called Gongsun Yang because of his surname, but he can only be called Gongsun Yang in his own country. After he goes out, all countries have Gongsun. If he meets another Gongsun who is named Yang Call out two people to answer, and the meaning of the name will be gone.

In places other than the state of Wei, if he is a son of the public clan, he can take the name of the country as his clan and call him Wei Yang.

That's why I say that Gongsun is an embarrassing clan. He can't go up and down, and it's a bit embarrassing to go out. If you have ambitions, most of you will choose to earn a clan by your ability when you get older. Among them, the most proud one is the fiefdom. For Shi.

"That kid has nothing to do with the old man outside." The old man carelessly stroked his beard, saw the young man in front of him just smiled and said nothing, and finally sighed, "That kid is stubborn, I'm afraid there will be another Wu Qi."

He and Wu Qi have known each other for many years, let's not mention how to be a human being, the ability to train troops and manage government is unmatched in the world. He has served in the three kingdoms of Lu, Wei, and Chu. It won't end up like that.

Wei Yang is his student. That kid has been with him for five years. Apart from Confucian classics, he likes to study Legalism the most. How about some well-behaved students who speak nicely?

When Wu Qi went to Chu State, he first became Ling Yin without making any meritorious service. This kind of thing is unthinkable for others, but no one dares to say anything about him, because before going to Chu State, that person first served in Wei Dynasty. China has made an earth-shattering movement.

Fifty thousand recruits blocked the army of Qin State, and let him win. After the Battle of Yin and Jin, Wei Wuzu became famous all over the world, and took advantage of the situation to seize the land of Hexi in Qin State. An army that dared to confront the Wei army on the battlefield appeared.

The state of Qin doesn't count. If they don't confront each other head-on, the state will be gone. This is a desperate situation and they can only bite the bullet. If they can, they will not take the initiative to confront Wei Wuzu.

The king of Chu directly appointed Wu Qi as Ling Yin, even if someone was dissatisfied, no one dared to speak out, after all, no one dared to say that he was more capable than that guy.

It only took that guy one year to make Chu's reforms achieve remarkable results. What's more, he once again shocked the eyes of the world, but he also completely offended the Chu clan.

The state of Chu is different from the state of Central China, with different official positions and laws. No matter how weak the monarchs of the Central Plains are, they will grasp the power in the country, for fear that they will be taken over by the big clans in the country like Jin state and then split into no place for them.

However, the state of Chu was originally divided into clans, and the major clans governed their own fiefdoms. Soldiers, horses, and money were not under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu at all.

It's like another Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty in its powerful period. Although the top king can't completely control the clans below, he can fully mobilize troops to fight. Of course, the premise is that the King of Chu is strong enough to dare to confront the clans below. Just.

When Wu Qi entered Chu, the state of Chu was in a difficult situation. The coalition forces of the Three Jins attacked Chu, forcing the state of Chu to ask for help from the state of Qin, which slowed down the momentum of the attack of the Three Jins.

The king of Chu at that time was an aspiring king. After Wu arrived there, the two hit it off and started drastic reforms. Although the reforms were effective, they also completely angered the domestic clans.

Make the princes and grandchildren of the third generation take away the nobles, dismiss the incompetent, useless, and indifferent officials, plug in private requests, change the customs of the Chu country, and move the nobles who lost their nobles to the real and empty places...

All kinds of things, all of which are walking on the tip of a knife.

What kind of place is Chu State? The ancestors are officials, and the descendants are all officials. Let alone taking back the fiefs and rebelling against the rank and salary, they can't accept just reducing the official system.

Wu Qi immediately cut off most of his official positions, and the official positions can only be obtained from the army. Originally, children from aristocratic families and crown queens would naturally be able to become officials, but now they have to go to the battlefield to fight their lives. Can they bear it?

After the hidden dangers are buried, there will always be an outbreak. The Chu State has indeed become stronger with lightning speed. The weapons commanded the Chu army to fight and gallop, conquered the Baiyue tribe of the Wuling generation, and expanded the territory of the Chu State to the south. In the Ouyue area, after fighting the South, he turned around and went back to fight the Three Jins. He was facing Wei, the country he had served before.

The Wei State is strong, and Wei Wuhou is also ambitious. When he trusted Wu Qi, the Wei Army entered the Guanzhong Plain like a broken bamboo, took the land of Hexi and continued to advance to the hinterland of the Qin State. If he continued to fight, the Qin State might not be able to survive. bit.

It's a pity that Uncle Wei Xianggong was afraid that Wu Qi's contribution would be too great to suppress his limelight, so he used a plan to make Wei Wuhou suspicious of Wu Qi, so Wu Qi went to Chu State next.

It doesn't matter if he enters Chu, the clans of Chu State are being pushed harder and harder, and after being pushed to the extreme, they will take revenge even if they try to hurt themselves eight hundred times.

The Three Jin Dynasties have never been a solid piece of iron. The State of Wei and the State of Zhao fought bloody battles in order to seize the territory of the State of Wei. Qi State never bowed its head when facing Wei State. Naturally, it sent troops to help Wei. Asking for help everywhere, Chu State naturally also received news of Zhao State asking for help.

The main forces of the Wei army were all in the territory of Zhao State, and his own country was empty, so Wu Qi led his army to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. It is rare for the army to have fun in the Central Plains again.

Good news came frequently, and the king of Chu in the capital was overly excited and sad, and died of a sudden illness in just a few days. Wu Qi had to return to Chu from the front line to deal with the funeral of the king of Chu.

The clans who had been weakened a lot finally waited for the opportunity to retaliate and started a mutiny directly in the palace. Wu Qi was also ruthless and had to pull the clan back when he was dying. The new king of Chu did not disagree with the previous decree, but the clan continued to exert pressure , The newly succeeded king has no resistance at all.

Now it's all right, Wu Qi directly sent the reason to him, the officials were in chaos with the king, and the random arrows wounded the dead monarch's body, he will directly punish the three clans according to the Chu law, and finally be buried with Wu Qi by the old king of Chu There are more than 70 Chu clans, large and small, and none of them escaped except Xu Chengjun.

That guy was so ruthless that he would drag other disliked guys with him to death, the old man didn't comment on it, he was only worried that Wei Yang would follow Wu Qi's old path.

It’s good to be the same as Wu Qi, after all, Chu’s reforms have achieved great results, and the succeeding king of Chu still implements the new policy. I’m afraid that the stubborn boy will lose his life in vain. The old clans of Qin are more powerful than Chu. Stubborn, he is not sure whether he can move it, what if he just goes up and loses his life?

The old man Wang Xu was worried, and started talking after he was full. Wei Jian listened quietly by the side. After getting along for so many days, he has long been used to the old man talking about tuberculosis from time to time.

As expected of Mr. Guigu, Wei Yang saw it so clearly when he first arrived in Qin State before he had time to do anything, but Wei Yang is not Wu Qi, he does things more ruthlessly than Wu Qi.

The reform cannot be rushed for success. If Qin was not so weak at the beginning and could slow down the reform step by step, would the final result not be so tragic?

Wei Ji sighed indistinctly, thinking of the careless young master Qian who seemed to only eat when he was in front of him, he really couldn't imagine what would happen to this man after his nose was cut off.

The people of Qin are rough and arrogant, and they look at their face more than the sky. They will not complain when they lose their arms and legs on the battlefield, but it is a bit too cruel to have their noses cut off because of faults or even because of being implicated.

Wu Qi's fate is already a bloody lesson. Wei Yang will not know that he has provoked the fate of the old clan. However, he has the same problems that scholars at this time have. .

If things fail, you will never die.

"If you are worried, sir, just watch from the side." Wei Ji added water to the old man who had been talking for a while, seeing how eager he was to bring back the personal disciples he had accepted before and teach them again, and said in a gentle voice, " With Mister here, Wei Yang's steps may not be too big."

"Boys' own business, why does the old man join in the fun?" The old man squinted his eyes, looked at the calm and gentle young man in front of him and continued, "Life and death, he chose this path, and the rest is only up to him the ability."

He has lived for so many years, and he thinks that he has a clear view of the world, scrambling, scrambling, scrambling, splitting and reunion are all those things. If he has this kung fu, he might as well play a few more games of chess.

Taking the world as a chess game and the nations as his sons, he will watch from the sidelines, but he will never enter the game again. When he is old, he no longer has the spirit of his youth.

Wei Ji looked at the old man who suddenly started to feel immortal, and smiled slightly at the corner of his lips, "It seems that there is no one who is waiting for you among the disciples taught by Mr."

Grandpa Wang Xu's expression froze slightly, he glanced at the young man in front of him strangely, then waved his hands and sighed, "It's just so-so, there is not a fool out there who is so stupid that not only can't repay the teacher, but also has to be supported by the old teacher ?"

The baby-faced young man basking in the sun in the yard: Ahh!

Who scolded him?Is it Pang Juan?

The author has something to say: Guiguzi (sigh): The apprentice started to gnaw at the old man at a young age, what a pity for the old man!
