spring and autumn officials

Chapter 55 It's just right

A good sentence does not ask for a reward!

Qi Lu suddenly felt that he was very good at showing off, but after he finished speaking, Qi Lu regretted it, even if he couldn't kiss the emperor's super kissable lips, he must ask for some valuable peppers?Recently, I don't even have the money to buy peppercorns.

But what is said, the water that is spilled, it is not easy to change it.

When the Son of Heaven heard Qi Lv say this, he felt unusually sincere, with a trusting smile all over his face, and said, "The Grand Tutor always does not ask for anything in return, which makes me very embarrassed."

Qi Lu: "..." I feel a little guilty.

Ji Lin gave a low laugh and said, "That's right, the widow has thought of a reward for the Taifu."

Qi Lv thought silently in his heart that it was impossible to be promoted, after all, he was already the Grand Tutor, and only Qingshi was left on top, but now Guogong Ji's father is already a Qingshi, so it is impossible for him to take the place of Guogong.

It is impossible to get promoted, but it is possible to get rich. Maybe the emperor will reward me with some money...

As Qi Lu thought about it, he heard the handsome emperor say in a gentle voice: "Then reward the Grand Tutor...to sleep with the widow."

Qi Lu's mind was filled with question marks, what?Sleeping together, translated into the vernacular should be - the emperor rewards himself and sleeps with him!

"Gudong..." Qi Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva without realizing it, and looked at the emperor blankly, but the emperor smiled so gently and honestly, he didn't feel that he had seduced Taifu Qi at all.

Qi Lu didn't know what Ji Lin thought of him, and thought that Ji Lin was relying on him, and the emperor's expression was so upright, Qi Lu felt that his thoughts were dirty, so he quickly got rid of all improper thoughts in his mind.

Qi Lu was fighting against his own "little devil", the emperor suddenly grabbed Qi Lu's palm, the wide palm was so hot that it wrapped Qi Lu's palm completely, and it almost became a finger interlocking screen.

Then I heard the emperor continue to say: "The Taifu has been busy all night, and his face is really not good-looking. Now that he has captured the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty, he has also captured the Duke of Song. The Four Kingdoms Alliance is not in the air, and the Taifu has nothing to worry about." , come quickly, lie down and have a good rest, and rest here with the widow."

Qi Lu: "..." Yuan Tianzi meant this, and it really was him who was dirty.

It turned out that the emperor was worried that Qi Lu would stay up all night. Qi Lu was not strong, and he didn't practice martial arts on weekdays.Although Qi Lu was still excited about catching Song Gong, to be honest, his face was a little pale, and he didn't pay attention to it.

Ji Lin was really distressed, he was going to become a little dog at night, and he had no way to sit at the gate of the city by himself, so he bothered Qi Lu to stay up all night to sit at the gate. He urged: "Hurry up, Tai Tuo, lie down."

Qi Lv thought that the Son of Heaven really wanted to sleep with him, but he was just worried about his body, so he felt a little resentful. As soon as the two of them talked about it, the eunuch came in and said, "My Son, Mr. Zheng is already outside the bedroom door. I want to see the emperor."

The Son of Heaven was just about to "sleep" with the Grand Tutor, so he never thought Zheng Bowu would come so early in the morning.

Now that the sky has just brightened and it is not yet morning, Zheng Bowei came here so early in the morning, there must be no second possibility, and he definitely came for the affairs of the Song Kingdom.

Indeed, this early in the morning, Zheng Bowusheng heard that Qi Lu not only captured the war god of the Song Kingdom, Sima, but also captured the King and Yi of the Song Kingdom!

This is big news, not to mention that Zheng Boxusheng heard about it, and the other three-nation coalition forces who have not yet withdrawn from Zheng also heard about it. When they heard the news overnight, they were so scared that they began to rectify in the morning. They also came to catch Song Gong as well, and quickly fled with their tails between their legs, and really withdrew their troops.

Zheng Bowu came in from outside the dormitory, saluted respectfully, and said, "Wusheng pays homage to the Son of Heaven."

Ji Lin knew Zheng Boxu's reason for coming, and said calmly, "Why did Mr. Zheng come to the widow so early in the morning?"

Zheng Boweisheng Taifu was very respectful, first of all he congratulated the emperor, saying: "Wusheng heard that the Taifu wisely captured the king of the Song Dynasty and the great Sima, so he came to congratulate the emperor. Such a talented person, it is a blessing that my emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has Taifu Qi to assist him, and Taifu is also a role model for me, a role model for me to learn from!"

Although Zheng Bowusheng had a dignified appearance, he seldom flattered people on weekdays, but when he opened his mouth, he surpassed countless flatterers, and the words he spoke were even better than the songs he sang.

When Qi Lu heard this, he almost praised himself as a flower, wishing he could go to heaven!

Ji Lin chuckled, not knowing what it meant, straightened his black sleeve robe, and said, "Duke Zheng came here so early in the morning, surely he didn't come here to sing praises?"

Zheng Bozheng's mind was broken, so he didn't pave the way anymore. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Son, the state of Song crossed the border and insulted no one in our state of Zheng. It went straight to the east gate and disturbed our land in Zheng state. It is really hateful and disgraceful to harass the people of our country of Zheng, so Mr. Wu implores the emperor to give Song Gonggong to my country of Zheng, so that my country of Zheng can be ashamed!"

Qi Lu finally understood that Mr. Zheng Bowu said so much, he wanted the emperor to give them the prisoner Song Gong.It is conceivable that if Song Gong and Yi were handed over to Zheng Guo, what kind of end would happen, death is considered good.

After all, Zheng State and Song State are two different factions. For a long time, Zheng State and Song State are both big countries in the Central Plains, and they have been constantly conquering and attacking each other. Today's hatred will be tomorrow's resentment.Today's Qi State is still in a "standby" state and has not fully grown up, so it is still following Zheng State. The biggest enemies of Zheng State and Qi State are Song State and Wei State. If you can kill the monarch of Song State in one fell swoop, then The State of Song will inevitably fall into civil strife, so that the State of Zheng and the factions of the State of Zheng will be given time to recuperate.

Qi Lv glanced at the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven was dressed in a black robe, sitting upright on the mat, stretched out his black sleeves, raised his hands, resting his elbows on the table, tilted his head slightly, and supported his side face with the back of his hands. It seemed that because of getting up early, she was still a little lazy, so she covered it with the other sleeve and yawned lightly.

Qi Lu's heart beat twice, because the Taifu already understood his bad intentions for the emperor, so no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the emperor was handsome, especially his lazy appearance, which directly poked Qi Lu's heart.

Seeing the emperor's laziness, Zheng Bowei was not as moved as Qi Lu, because he knew that the emperor's laziness was for him to see, and he obviously didn't want to talk about it properly.

Sure enough, Ji Lin spoke up and said, "Duke Zheng, I need to think again about the matter of Song State. As for whether to hand over the king of Song State to Zheng Gong, I also need to think again. After all, Song Gong has Wrong, it is also the Duke, and Mr. Zheng, you..."

The Son of Heaven stopped talking when he said this, but Mr. Zheng Boxu already understood, and his face turned ugly.The monarch and Yi of the Song Dynasty were titled dukes, the highest among the five titles, named Shanggong.Zheng Bowusheng is just an earl. Although in this era of broken etiquette, anyone with a title can be politely called a certain duke, but they are not real dukes, they are just honorific titles.

Zheng Bowu knew his status well, there was still a marquis between the earl and the duke, if the emperor asked Zheng Bo to deal with Song Gong, it would be an act of arrogance.

Zheng Bowusheng was unhappy, but he was very respectful on face, cupped his hands and said: "Yes, then Mr. Wu will not disturb the emperor's rest, please think about it again, Mr. Wu will leave first."

Ji Lin didn't speak, but waved his sleeves, indicating that Zheng Bo could step back.

Qi Lu looked at the appearance of Ji Lin's sleeved gown, and the feeling of "old father" rose again in his heart. Not to mention, the emperor has a strong learning ability. The big boy who doesn't understand, but now he has only been on the throne for a few months, has learned so much, and is getting more and more stylish. He has changed from a little milk dog to a little wolf dog.

Zheng Bowei retreated, and Qi Lu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven, the affairs of Song State must not be left to Zheng State."

Ji Lin's face darkened, and he said with a sneer, "What a treacherous and cunning student, you treat me like a three-year-old urchin?"

Naturally, Ji Lin also knew that Song Gonggong could not be disposed of by Zheng Guo. Song Gong had indeed violated the territory of Zheng State, but if Song Song Gonggong was handed over to Zheng Bo, Zheng Bo would definitely kill Song Gong. The monarch will be in chaos, and without the restraint of Song State, Zheng State will only become stronger and more unscrupulous.

and……

Qi Lu also said: "If Zheng Bo really killed Song Gong, he would definitely put this big hat on the head of the emperor. No matter how cunning Song Gong is, he is a righteous monarch of the Song Dynasty after all. The emperor is worthy of taking the throne, and he must not Take the blame for Zheng Guo."

It can be said that Zheng Bowei was not vicious. If Zheng Guo really killed the monarch of Song State, it was still under the eyes of the emperor. In this way, Zheng Guo would definitely spread public opinion, saying that it was the emperor's instruction.

Even if Ji Lin wants to support her son Feng as the king of Song to control Song, but compared to son Feng, Song Gong and Yi are the legitimate monarchs. Gong Ming pretended to be in his position, even if Duke Song was warlike with barbarians, few common people and officials of Song State would see him, so the present Duke Song would not be able to move.

In history, the officials and people of the Song State liked the son Feng more than Song Gong and Yi, but Hua Du killed the Song Gong and Yi, and welcomed the son Feng as the king of Song, but he was recognized as a traitor. The same reason .

In this day and age, it is evident how important it is to be just and honest.

So now is not the time to get rid of Song Gong. They caught Song Gong and beat them up, so that Song Guo will be honest, and they must not give Zheng Guo this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Ji Lin nodded and said, "All the widows know, so the Taifu can rest assured. Does the Taifu still think that the widow is a three-year-old child?"

Qi Lu thought to himself, how could the Son of Heaven be a three-year-old baby? Can a three-year-old baby be so handsome?

Ji Lin said again: "The Grand Tutor took great pains to capture the Duke of Song and the chief Sima of the Song Kingdom. I will never disappoint the Grand Tutor."

Qi Lu listened to the last half of the emperor's words, thinking silently in his heart, it would be all right if it was someone else's intention.

Seeing that Qi Lu was in a daze, Ji Lin thought he was sleepy, and said: "Yes, I was disturbed by Uncle Zheng, and almost forgot to let the matriarch sleep. Lie down quickly, and talk about everything after rest."

Qi Lv was pressed on the couch by the emperor again, and he pulled the brocade quilt to cover his body. Ji Lin said: "The Taifu will rest here, and the widow will review the documents. If there is any need, the Taifu will just take care of the branch. The widow is."

Although Qi Lu felt that this was somewhat against the rules, how could there be any reason why the courtiers slept and the emperor worked?But sleeping on the emperor's couch, hugging the emperor's quilt, and resting on the emperor's headrest, this temptation is too great, Qi Lu didn't refute it, it happened that he was too sleepy, lying on the soft couch, just like being quilt It's like a cramp, and I can't get up.

Qi Lu lay down obediently, took a deep breath, didn't smell the smell of the emperor, but smelled the smell of incense, the brocade quilt was fragrant, not too sweet, and it was very helpful for sleeping, closing it He closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

Ji Lin was sitting on the side reviewing the documents, and the bedroom was quiet for a while. This feeling was very good. The Taifu was sleeping next to him. Ji Lin felt that his efficiency in grading and reading the documents was high. It's noon.

Seeing that Qi Lu was sleeping soundly, Ji Lin was afraid that he would be hungry and would suffer from insomnia after sleeping too much, so he walked over and sat by the couch, preparing to wake Qi Lu up.

Sitting on the couch, Ji Lin looked down at Qi Lu who was sleeping soundly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.Although Qi Lu was older than himself, he was so childish when he was sleeping, he had already kicked the quilt, but hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that the quilt would run away.

Qi Lu's temple hair was a little disheveled, Ji Lin raised his hand, and gently smoothed his temple hair. At this moment, Qi Lu didn't know what dreamed, but he hugged Ji Lin's arm.

Qi Lu hugged the emperor's arm, did not wake up, but immersed in his dream, tightened the emperor's hand, then put it to his lips, and rubbed it with his lips.

"Boom——" the emperor's head almost exploded, he felt the gentle touch on his fingers, Qi Lu's lips kept rubbing his fingers, a little itchy, from the fingertips to the heart.

Ji Lin froze in place for a while, wondering if he wanted to enjoy the tingling sensation more, he was a little greedy, and with a little force on his fingers, he turned his back on the customer, and rubbed Qi Lu's lower lip with his thumb, becoming more and more greedy, Getting greedy.

Just when the emperor's eyes were heavy and he wanted to feel the heat of Qi Lu's mouth...

"hiss!"

Qi Lu had a sweet dream, he dreamed that he was eating big fried dough sticks, but the big fried dough sticks were alive, dishonesty, Qi Lu, a fierce tiger rushed to hug the big fried dough sticks, then opened his mouth, and bit hard!

Immediately afterwards, he heard the painful cry of the fried dough stick, although it was only a low "hiss".

Qi Lu thought to himself, the deep-fried dough sticks have become fine, and even after being bitten by himself, he still screamed in pain. He woke up from the dream, slowly opened his confused eyes, and saw the "fried dough sticks" in his arms...

It's not fried dough sticks at all, but the fingers of the emperor!

Qi Lu's teeth were still biting on the emperor's finger, Qi Lu let go of his mouth in fright, knelt down on the couch and said, "Lü is guilty of death, you have offended the emperor."

Ji Lin quickly withdrew his hand, looked down, a little bit dumbfounded, the teeth marks around his fingers were not broken, but he was quite forceful.

Ji Lin coughed, and said, "It's okay...it's almost noon, Taifu woke up?"

Qi Lu looked at the sky, and it was almost noon, so he got up from the couch quickly, his head crown was crooked, and his clothes were crumpled, Ji Lin asked the eunuch to come in to wash and tie Qi Lu's hair, after a while Son, Taifu Qi, who had a blank face just now, became well-dressed again.

Seeing that Qi Lu was in a hurry, Ji Lin said, "Teacher is in such a hurry, where is he going?"

Qi Lu replied, "Going back to the Son of Heaven, Luzheng wants to visit the Great Sima of the Song Kingdom."

That's right, the captives of the Song Dynasty were captured and hadn't been dealt with yet. Now it's noon, and Qi Lu is about to take the first step to subdue Kong Fujia.

Grasping Kong Fujia is only the preliminary preparation for conquering Kong Fujia, the later stage is the most important.

Ji Lin asked curiously, "Oh? How does the Taifu plan to subdue the great Sima of the Song Kingdom?"

Qi Lv smiled slightly and said: "The Great Sima of the Song Kingdom is loyal, stupid and loyal, and he is a tough one. Naturally, the pain of flesh and blood cannot make the Great Sima give up. The only way is to separate the Duke of Song from the Great Sima, and let the Song Dynasty Duke Song questioned Da Sima's loyalty, and in the end Da Sima would only be pushed into the camp of the emperor by Song Gong himself."

After capturing the captives of the Song Kingdom last night, Qi Lu had already arranged to lock all the prisoners in the jail, including Song Gong and Yi, who were all detained in the jail.

But there was an accident, it was Kong Fujia!

Kong Fujia was not imprisoned in a dirty and dark prison, but was placed under house arrest in the Zheng State Palace, and he said it nicely, and invited Kong Fujia to be a guest.

In this way, if this matter got to Song Gong and Yi's ears, Song Gong and Yi must have doubts.

Qi Lv said again: "But Mr. Song must not be a fool or an idiot to be able to sit in today's seat. It is impossible to doubt Da Sima so easily."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Exactly."

The reason why Song Gong and Yi were able to rise to the throne was that they were the ones who could pretend to be obedient and win people's hearts. If he was not obedient, how could son Feng's own father and his uncle pass on the title of monarch to Song Gong and Yi with peace of mind? Where is his own son, Gongzi Feng, driven out of the Song Dynasty?

Song Gong and Yi are good at winning people's hearts. Kong Fujia vowed to serve him to the death, so it can be seen that Song Gong is a smart person, and he is an extremely smart person. Hit the plan of alienation.

Qi Lv said with a smile: "Naturally there is a next step, and this next step is to feed Da Sima delicious food, to feed Duke Song some bran-swallowed vegetables, and Lu is also going to cook for Da Sima himself. In this way, The wind spread to the prison, and Song Gong was so arrogant, he couldn't balance his heart."

Although Song Gong is a smart man, he will never be able to withstand repeated quarrels. Moreover, because Song Gong is a smart man, even if he knows that this is a divorce plan, but according to his arrogant and suspicious temperament, he treats Father Kong Jia will still have a grudge, and that is enough.

The emperor thinks this is a good way to attack the heart, but...

As soon as I heard that Qi Lu was going to prepare meals for Father Kong Jia in person, I suddenly thought of how Kong Father Jia followed Song Gong's order to seduce Qi Lu when he was in the Evil Cao Huimeng, and the two of them were still drunk in the dining room. , Qi Lu slept with his head on Kong Fujia's chest, and the emperor's sourness immediately turned up.

The Son of Heaven said in a faint tone: "The Tai Tuo has done his best for a prisoner of the Song Dynasty, and he really worked hard."

Listening to the emperor's tone, Qi Lu always felt a little weird, but he didn't hear anything strange for a while, and said respectfully: "It's hard for Lu to share the worries of the emperor."

The emperor was going to be soured by himself, and Qi Lu said he didn't feel it was hard, so he sighed silently, and he couldn't blame the Taifu, who was a lot slower in terms of feelings after all.

Ji Lin then said: "I don't know what delicacies the Grand Tutor is going to cook for Da Sima. Now that the Grand Tutor is going to prepare meals for the people of the Song Dynasty, is he ignoring the widow? I haven't tasted the Tai Tuo's cooking for a long time."

Qi Lu always felt that... the emperor was acting like a baby to him, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

But Qi Lu knew that there was one thing that was not an illusion, that is, the emperor was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and the emperor had eaten sesame sauce pancakes before, how could it be that he hadn't eaten his own handicraft for a long time?

Ji Lin took Qi Lu's palm, and said in a low voice, suppressing his own possessiveness, "I don't care what kind of food the Taifu wants to give to Sima of the Song Dynasty, you have to eat it first."

Qi Lu: "..." After talking for a long time, the emperor is a foodie.

The meal that Qi Lu wants to make is actually very simple, all the ingredients are prepared in advance, there is only one dish, there is rice and vegetables, and you can eat to your heart's content, that is - claypot rice.

Qi Lu had already made some sausages a few days ago, Sichuan-flavored, Cantonese-flavored, salty and sweet, and now they are ready for use.

Qi Lv promised the emperor that before delivering meals to Kong Fujia, he must send them to the emperor first, and the emperor let him go.

Qi Lu went into the dining room and asked the chef to bring out the sausages that he had made a few days ago. Qi Lu chose a few Cantonese sausages, cut them into sections, got some vegetables, washed the rice, and cooked the claypot rice. , taking advantage of this time, start to adjust the sauce, after the claypot rice is out of the pot, pour the sauce on it with a "prick -" sound, and then stir it, and you're done.

Qi Lu made two pots of claypot rice in total, and after it came out of the oven, he took one of the pots of claypot rice and went to the emperor's bedroom.

After reading the document, Ji Lin put it aside, and suddenly smelled a fragrant smell, which was similar to a smell of rice, but much stronger than the smell of rice. When he looked up, it turned out that it was Taifu Qi who came back. up.

Qi Lu put the claypot rice on the table, and the emperor couldn't wait to lift the lid of the special small pot. Qi Lu quickly stopped him and said, "Emperor, it's hot!"

Ji Lin was scalded, so he quickly pinched his earlobe, and blew on his fingertips when it was hot. That action was really like a puppy, and he felt very wronged, as if to say, "How dare this pot burn the widow?" "!"

Qi Lu was helpless and said, "Son of Heaven, is there any burn?"

Seeing Qi Lu caring about him, Ji Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a little red."

Qi Lu checked the emperor's fingers, the fingertips were a little red, but there should be nothing serious, so he said: "Tianzi, be careful that it is hot, this claypot rice is not finished yet, there is a process missing."

As Qi Lv spoke, he used a cloth towel to cover it, and lifted the lid of the pot. With a sound of "Huh--", the fragrant and hot steam came out, and the hot air brought a strong aroma, which was the smell of rice stuffed in the pot. , and the salty and sweet smell of Cantonese sausage, rich and attractive.

As the thick water vapor dissipated, I saw white rice in the pot, covered with a layer of something that the emperor could not name. It looked like meat, but he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. The emperor didn't know. , this is indeed meat, but it is meat processed by Qi Lu, it is Cantonese sausage.

In addition to the sausages cut into small pieces, there were green vegetables and some bacon on the side, which were fully covered on the white rice. The ingredients were so full that they almost covered the pot.

This big pot is full, and I feel extremely satisfied just by looking at it with my eyes, especially when I am hungry, seeing the white rice makes me feel better immediately.

Ji Lin looked eager to try, and said, "Teacher, what work is left?"

Qi Lu saw that his greedy look was somewhat similar to the little local dog he raised, so he took out the prepared sauce, put the sauce in the bronze bean, and Qi Lu poured all the sauce into it. The pot, and then use a bronze dagger to mix the rice, sauce and various ingredients in the pot together.

"Hiss, hiss——" the pot was still hot, and the sauce was poured in and stirred, and it immediately gave off a burnt aroma. The sauce and rice fully melted, and the white rice was crystal clear, with distinct grains, and was wrapped in the sauce. There is a layer of light amber, and there is a layer of scorched crispy rice under the pot, which was also scooped up by Qi Lu with a small dagger. The scorched aroma, the aroma of sauce, the aroma of rice, and the aroma of various ingredients are mixed together , clear layers, and complement each other, each stimulate each other, is simply a temptation to the taste buds.

The Son of Heaven couldn't resist this kind of temptation, he pursed his lips slightly, and watched anxiously as Qi Lu mixed the claypot rice, then took out a small bowl and handed it over.

Ji Lin took it immediately, scooped up the amber rice evenly covered with sauce with a small dagger, and took a bite of the rice first. The emperor has eaten rice, and each meal of the emperor needs six kinds of staple food. What kind of staple food is not available? I have eaten, but I have never eaten such a sweet rice. The mellow rice, mixed with the salty sauce, unexpectedly stimulates a sweet smell of rice, an indescribable fragrance in the mouth.

The Son of Heaven immediately took another bite of Cantonese sausage. The Cantonese sausage made by Qi Lu is a very thin type, thin and tough. It is meaty and full of appetite. It is sweet and slightly salty. The sweet taste stimulates each other, not greasy at all, authentic Cantonese claypot rice, the taste is really amazing!

It was the first time for Ji Lin to eat sausages. In the Spring and Autumn period, because there were no refrigerators and ice cubes were very scarce, meat and vegetables were often made into pickles. Pickles were extremely developed, but there were no sausages yet.

So the emperor ate sausage for the first time. It was unavoidably strange. The casing was slightly crispy on the outside. When he bit open the casing, because the ingredients were solid, the Cantonese-style sausage was moderately fat and thin. , the oil and water moisten the sausage, bringing out an indescribable mellow aroma.

Ji Lin opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Teacher, what is the name of this meat? I have never eaten it before."

Qi Lu saw that the emperor's food was delicious, and the emperor's food was very elegant, but it was very contagious, which made the person who took care of the meal feel a kind of spontaneous satisfaction. Qi Lu likes people who eat delicious food, so he will not let himself down craftsmanship.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Son of Heaven, this is a kind of food that Lu uses meat to make. It is called sausage. It is dried on weekdays. When it is time to eat, it can be eaten after washing it."

The Son of Heaven loves Cantonese sausages very much. There is a big pot full of claypot rice, and he specially picks up Cantonese sausages. He is quite satisfied with the food. While eating, he sighs and says: "The sausages made by Taifu are very delicious."

In the end, because of the enjoyment of the food, it was directly simplified to - Tai Fu's sausage is very delicious.

Qi Lu had always had plans for the Son of Heaven, but now hearing that the Son of Heaven "learned without a teacher", Qi Lu became a little fanciful.

The little devil in Qi Lu's mind couldn't help rushing out, trying to make up all kinds of brains, but at this moment, the emperor said in an upright tone: "Taifu's sausage is a little thinner, it would be better if it was thicker." .”

Qi Lu: "..."

The Son of Heaven had eaten delicious claypot rice, and now it was Kong Fujia's turn. Qi Lu still had a pot of claypot rice on the fire. When the Son of Heaven finished eating, Qi Lu went to bring down the pot of claypot rice. Ready to take it to find Kong Fujia.

Ji Lin was worried that Qi Lu would go alone. Firstly, Kong Fujia was a general, and Qi Lu didn't know martial arts at all. Ji Lin was afraid that Qi Lu would suffer a disadvantage. Second...

Because Kong Fujia was ordered to seduce Qi Lu a few days ago, Ji Lin is a vengeful person, and he is not careful, so naturally he is worried that Qi Lu will go to see Kong Fujia, so he must go with him.

So Ji Lin and Qi Lu went together to the small hall where Kong Fujia was under house arrest. Outside the gate was heavily guarded, and Guo Gongji's father was on duty. When he saw them, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "See the Son of Heaven."

Forget it, he saluted Qi Lu and said, "Teacher Qi."

Qi Lv bowed back and said, "Duke Guo, how is the Great Sima of Song State?"

Father Guo frowned, shook his head and said, "Since I was imprisoned yesterday, I haven't eaten or uttered a word, but the great Sima of the Song Dynasty has a very strong body, and he may not be killed for a while."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat, Lu has plenty of ways to make him eat."

Guo Gongji's father pushed the door open for them, and Kong Fujia sat in the hall. He was wrapped in chains but not wearing shackles. He was like a stone sculpture. He sat quietly in the hall. His eyes were motionless, like a blind man.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Da Sima, it's time to eat. This is the meal that Lu personally prepared for Da Sima. Please give Da Sima a favor."

Kong Fujia just glanced sideways at Qi Lu, and didn't salute the emperor. Father Ji, the Duke of Guo, said coldly, "Song's guilty minister! Why didn't you salute the emperor when you saw him?"

Kong Fujia said in a hoarse voice: "A humble general is a dying person, do you still need to care about these red tapes?"

Ji Lin said indifferently: "Oh? Who said that the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty is going to be executed?"

Kong Fujia laughed at himself and said: "If the army is defeated today, it is the same if it is executed today and executed tomorrow. What is the difference?"

Qi Lv smiled and said, "Is Da Sima very enlightened? But don't worry, Da Sima, the Son of Heaven has a kind heart and treats people leniently. He will never execute Da Sima. Not only will he not execute Da Sima, but he will treat Da Sima well. "

Kong Fujia narrowed his eyes, and looked at Qi Lu with some doubts.

Qi Lv put the claypot rice on the case table and said, "Da Sima, please have a meal. Come and try Lu's cooking skills. Does it suit Da Sima's taste? I remember that at that time, Da Sima loved Li. craftsmanship."

After all, they are old acquaintances, can Kong Fujia not know Qi Lu's cooking skills?He hasn't eaten or drank a sip of water since last night, and he was already very hungry, but he said in a deep voice, "Dare to ask the Grand Tutor, where is the Widow?"

Widowed Lord is a kind of modest title to one's own monarch, and what Kong Fujia asked was naturally where Song Gong and Yi were.

Qi Lv didn't stumble, and said honestly, "Dong Song? Duke Song is in prison right now."

Kong Fujia frowned and said: "Your Majesty is suffering in the prison, but your ministers are here to eat and eat? A humble general dare not eat such a meal."

Qi Lu had already expected that Kong Fujia was a tough and loyal person, Song Gong and Yi were locked in the cell, how could he eat Qi Lu's cooking.

Qi Lu smiled faintly, and said: "This... I can't help Da Sima, Da Sima will eat today even if he eats, and he will eat if he doesn't eat."

Although Qi Lu was smiling, his voice was unusually strong, and he said, "And please don't worry, Da Sima, the fact that you enjoyed the delicious food today and was entertained by the emperor will spread to the prison and be known by your monarch."

Kong Fujia was not stupid, he immediately understood, and said: "Teacher is so deliberate here to divide the humble general and the monarch, I am afraid that he will disappoint Taifu Qi, the humble general will not eat this meal, not just this meal, As long as the humble general stays here for a day, there will be no water or rice."

Qi Lu said: "Don't talk so full, Lu not only has a way to feed Da Sima, but also has a way to feed Da Sima so fat."

Kong Fujia was very disdainful and stopped answering Qi Lv's words.

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Son of Heaven, the Great Sima of the Song Kingdom doesn't seem to believe in Lu's rhetoric."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "That's right. After all, the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty is a hard-headed person. I'm sure the Taifu can't pry his mouth open, and he can't pour a grain of rice or a drop of water into his mouth."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Zensheng is good. Lu is a person who likes to wrestle with hard bones. If Lu is too active, he will not like it. It's just right to push and agree."

Ji Lin: "..." As he spoke, the taste changed.

The Son of Heaven was still playing doubles with Qi Lu just now, and suddenly he took a sip of bitter wine, and his stomach was sore.

Qi Lu didn't notice the way the emperor was eating, and said to Kong Fujia with a smile: "Da Sima, Lu knows that your bones are very hard. I'm afraid the whip will break, and you will not bow your head, so Lu will not treat you. Use punishment, but..."

Qi Lv changed the subject and said: "If you don't eat today, then Song Gong in the prison will have no food. If you don't drink water today, then Song Gong in the prison will have no water. Tsk tsk... big Sima is strong and strong, but Duke Song is a pitiful one, and I don't know how long Duke Song can last?"

"You..." Kong Fujia stared at Qi Lu with his eyes wide open, the chains on his body trembled "cracking", if it wasn't for the chains, Kong Fujia wished he could rush to Qi Lu.

Qi Lu had something to say later, saying: "If you still don't eat, Da Sima, that's fine. Lu will invite Mr. Song to go to the prison to entertain Mr. Song. What do you think? What does Mr. Song think of Mr. Song?" , Da Sima, you know the best, right?"

Kong Fujia clenched his fists, the muscles of his arms bulged, and he squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. The veins on his forehead bulged, as if he had made a decision.

At this time, Qi Lu suddenly said: "Da Sima, Lu reminds you in advance, don't even think about committing suicide, it's easy for you to die, but as long as Da Sima commits suicide, Lu will send people to go to jail Song Gong fell."

"You!" Kong Fujia looked at Qi Lu, seemingly unable to say a second word, every time it was "you", and the rest of the words were all held in his stomach, and he was so angry that he couldn't say it.

Even the Son of Heaven's eyelids twitched when he heard the words "castrate Duke Song". Unexpectedly, Taifu Qi was such a "rogue", which had to be admired.

Qi Lu opened the lid of the pot with a smile on his face, and mixed claypot rice for Kong Fujia with his own hands. He smiled harmlessly and said, "Da Sima, please eat, it's delicious."

Kong Fujia stared at the claypot rice, as if he had no choice but to lose the battle, he said in a low voice, "Please don't treat the widow so harshly, the Son of Heaven and the Grand Tutor."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Da Sima, the Son of Heaven is not a tyrant, and he has no habit of abusing people."

After Kong Fujia was captured, he never had any water or rice. When Qi Lv went there, Kong Fujia actually ate, which made Duke Ji's father amazed.

When everyone came out of the small hall where Kong Fujia was under house arrest, Ji Lin couldn't help but wiped off his sweat, and said, "The Tai Tuo is threatening the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty so much, isn't he afraid that the Da Sima will take revenge on the Grand Tutor after he surrenders?"

Qi Lv didn't take it seriously, and said: "The emperor doesn't know something. This Song Dynasty Da Sima is a gentleman, and he behaves uprightly. The law is also the way to treat a gentleman. If it is an ordinary sycophant and greedy minister, this This method will not work, so Li is not afraid of retaliation."

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he flattered him again in a serious manner: "Furthermore, as a minister, I share the worries of the emperor.
