I'm a Buddhist foster child

Yang Jian turned around and left, Xiaocen Wang of Hejian caught up a few steps, followed closely behind, and whispered, "Son of Heaven, is this... okay?"

Yang Jian said: "What's wrong? If he obediently fights for me, I will bypass him. Otherwise, you will teach him well."

Xiao Cen wiped the cold sweat off his forehead again, but to be honest, he has seen Yang Jian's methods before, and Yang Jian's methods of bullying people are really numerous.

As a younger brother, Xiao Cen did give Xiao Yan a sweat, but as a political enemy, Xiao Cen felt a little refreshed.

After Yang Jian left the prison, he was very busy and had to rush back to the palace to attend court meetings.

Chi Youqi, Duke of Shu, brought the news that the Chen people were ready to attack Jiangling in response to Xiao Yan's movements.

Jiangling is the fan screen in the north. If the Chen people want to invade the territory in the north, they will definitely attack Jiangling. After this turning point, they can invade on a large scale. Therefore, the Chen people's attack on Jiangling is not only Jiangling's own problem, but also related to Great Sui.

Yang Jian hurried back to the palace, and almost all the ministers who attended the court meeting came. Although the young prince Yang Guang was young, as a prince, he also attended the court meeting together.

Yang Jian sat down and accepted the worship of all the officials, and then all the people sat in the banquet, ready to start the court discussion.

Yang Jian said: "I think everyone has heard that the Chen people are ready to move and prepare to march to Jiangling. Daliang is my friend of the Sui Dynasty. I, the Sui Dynasty, must not stand by and let the Chen people bully and dominate."

All the ministers seemed to have no opinion. For aiding Jiangling, everyone’s opinions were rarely unanimous. Everyone knew that Jiangling was like the Great Wall to them. Once Jiangling fell, the south of Sui Dynasty would soon be Harassed by Chen people.

Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Son, the time is waiting for no one. The weather is getting warmer. Chen people are good at water attack. Jiangling is full of water and surrounded by water on all sides. When the rain is abundant in spring, Chen people will surely Use water attack, then..."

Xiao Kui, the leader of the Liang Dynasty, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this. It is true that Jiangling's terrain is very suitable for water attack, and the Chen people happen to be water tyrants, and their water army is much stronger than that of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhu Guoyuwenhui stood up and said: "The top priority is that we should select a few water generals with outstanding abilities. The battle with Chen Ren will definitely focus on water warfare."

There is a lot of water in the south. Although it is not just a pure water battle, it is definitely a water battle. This point alone is very unfavorable for the Sui Dynasty.

Xiao Kui is from Jiangling, he is familiar with water warfare, but Xiao Kui can get only a limited amount of water troops, and he has to manage the beams, so Xiao Kui alone is not enough.

Someone immediately recommended Hao Abao. Hao Abao was born in Jihu and was good at swimming in water and land.

Hao Abao counts as one, Xiao Kui can barely count as half, such a scale is far from enough to fight against the Chen people.

This is what Yang Guang was worried about a few days ago. In his previous life, Yu Wenyong didn't take this matter seriously, and sent the inexperienced Yu Wenzhi to the battle, but he lost badly. Yu Wenzhi even pushed the matter to Liang Ren, saying It was the poor command of the Liang people who forced the Liang lord Xiao Kui to behead his own navy general.

It is impossible for Yu Wenzhi to lead the navy in this life, because Yu Wenzhi has already "disappeared", but their navy is still not strong enough, which is completely worrying.

While the ministers were discussing, they suddenly heard "hahaha" laughter, and someone stood up from the seat. The man was not young, with a black and white beard, but a tall and strong figure, like a towering mountain, with a loud voice. Said: "Why should the owner be so worried? It's just a little traitor, Chen Ren! Send the old minister out, and still bother General Hao? The old minister alone is enough, and they will definitely beat them to the ground, crying for their father and mother." !"

The veteran who stood up spoke so arrogantly, he didn't take Chen Ren's navy at all, and when he took a closer look, it turned out that there was a reason.

This person is Quan Jingxuan, the governor of Jingzhou!

Quan Jingxuan's seniority is very high. He started his military career in the Northern Wei Dynasty. He once followed Yu Wenyong's father. Speaking of which, he is an old man of Yang Zhong's generation, and his qualifications are very deep.

When Quan Jingxuan was young, he was very heroic and scheming. He was not a reckless man, and he accumulated a lot of contacts and military achievements.

Now that Quan Jingxuan is getting older, and because he has won too many battles, he is inevitably a little arrogant. In addition, the Jingzhou army led by Quan Jingxuan is the navy in the north, so he looks down on Chen Ren's navy at all.

Quan Jingxuan stroked his beard, and said: "The emperor wants to use the navy, and our Jingzhou army is on standby at any time! The soldiers of Jingzhou are all heroes, and if one is worth a hundred, it is enough to kill those little fellows of the Chen people." Call back to my hometown, but it's nothing!"

Quan Jingxuan's voice was very loud. As soon as he stood up, he seemed to have given the imperial court a reassurance. Many people breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right! The powerful general will definitely succeed immediately!"

"That's right! General Quan is a veteran of the navy, and he can't beat Chen's little thieves?"

"With General Quan, Chen Ren will definitely be beaten to the ground!"

There are not many sailors in the north, and Quan Jingxuan is considered the leader of the navy. No wonder the ministers look at him differently. Hearing the praise from others, Quan Jingxuan's arrogance is even more incomparable. He laughed loudly and said: "Yes! Please allow the emperor, the veteran only needs [-] soldiers and horses, and he will certainly be able to save Jiangling from suffering!"

Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, frowned. This time, Chen's aggressive approach should not be just a matter of [-] soldiers. Quan Jingxuan only needed [-] soldiers. It sounds like a joke. For Quan Jingxuan, this matter At most, it is military merit, but if it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe for Jiangling...

Xiao Kui stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven..."

Before he finished speaking, Quan Jingxuan had already said: "Hey, Lord Liang, don't be afraid, there are only a few small thieves from Chen people in the district. The old minister is in Jingzhou and often deals with Chen people, so there is nothing to be afraid of! Lord Liang is waiting. Capture the soldiers of the Chen people!"

Xiao Kui wanted to say something, but the atmosphere of the officials was high, because Quan Jingxuan regained his confidence, Xiao Kui was always an outsider, if Xiao Kui refuted at this time, he would appear a little shameless.Xiao Kui was a very thoughtful person, so when he saw this scene, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he wanted to talk to Yang Jian after the court discussion was over.

Yang Jian looked at Quan Jingxuan and said with a smile: "Yes, General Quan is most familiar with Chen's style of play. In this case, I can feel at ease when I send General Quan to send troops."

Quan Jingxuan was not modest, and said: "It is the most reassuring thing for the emperor to hand over to the old minister. You can rest assured and wait for the Chen people to come and beg for mercy!"

At the beginning of the court meeting, there was still a worried atmosphere, but soon, at the end, the atmosphere of the officials was high, and they hadn't sent troops yet, as if they had beaten Chen people to pieces.

Quan Jingxuan left from the main hall, and several ministers around him complimented: "General Quan's majesty remains the same as before!"

"Exactly! Those Chen confessions are not enough to watch!"

"General Quan will surely succeed this time and beat Chen back to his hometown!"

Everyone left one after another, Yang Jian took his son and got up to go to Lu's bedroom. Yang Guang didn't speak during the court meeting, and kept frowning his fleshy brows, as if he was thinking about something.

When he arrived in the bedroom, Yang Guang said: "Father, my son has something to report... If the matter of the navy is handed over to Quan Jingxuan, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Jian said with a smile: "I'm afraid we must lose, right?"

Yang Guang was taken aback, looked up at Yang Jian with his small face up, and said, "Father has already expected this?"

Yang Jian nodded and said: "There is an idiom called...Arrogant soldiers must be defeated. Isn't this a very simple truth?"

Indeed, this is a truth that even a child who has read the book understands. However, it is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to practice. After all, half of the human heart is made of greed, and the other half is made of pride...

Yang Guang said strangely: "Since father knows, why...?"

Yang Guang has experienced it all his life, so he knew that Quan Jingxuan, who led the army in this battle, would definitely underestimate Chen Ren. In the end, he didn't use all his strength, but was beaten to pieces by Chen Ren, which was very embarrassing.

This was also the last battle of veteran Quan Jingxuan, and it ended in failure. The imperial court impeached Quan Jingxuan and was defeated. In the end, because Quan Jingxuan was old and had served in the army, Quan Jingxuan was not granted death and pardoned him. sin.Because of his depression and old age, Quan Jingxuan died of illness not long after.

Although Yang Jian didn't know this period of history, it was not difficult to see that Quan Jingxuan was too proud. This was the most taboo thing about fighting. He underestimated the enemy and underestimated the enemy so much, how could he possibly win?

Yang Jian smiled and said: "I just want Quan Jingxuan to be proud, not only that, but I also want to encourage Quan Jingxuan's pride. The more proud he is, the more relaxed Chen is."

Yang Guang suddenly realized that this is a blindfold!

Therefore, Yang Jian only pretended to let Quan Jingxuan lead the army. When the Chen people heard about their deployment, they would definitely relax their vigilance.

Yang Guang laughed lightly and said, "Father is really... very bad."

Yang Jian said: "Father and father will take this as a compliment from a good boy."

Yang Guang also said: "However... the emperor used Quan Jingxuan as a cover, and dispatching Hao Abao is not enough. Although Xiao Kui is good at water warfare, he is the leader of Liang, so it is not convenient to dispatch him. As for Anping Wang Xiaoyan, it is not enough. , I don’t know when I will succumb to my father, or I still need to select a few more generals for water warfare.”

Yang Jian nodded, what his son said made a lot of sense.

What Yang Jian needs to do now is, on the one hand, choose generals for water warfare, and on the other hand, he needs to continue to encourage Quan Jingxuan's arrogance, the more arrogance the better, so that Chen can feel relieved.

Yang Jian stroked his chin and said, "Son, is General Quan's birthday coming?"

Yang Guang nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing."

Quan Jingxuan is a veteran minister in the court, so celebrating his birthday is a big deal. Yang Jian seemed to have an idea and said, "Why don't I buy a swallow drink and say it's for General Quan to celebrate his birthday. On the other hand, it's also a practical banquet. The officials are having fun together, son, tell me, is this enough to encourage General Quan's arrogance?"

Yang Guang's eyelids twitched. It is a great honor for other people to celebrate their birthday. At most, the emperor will attend. Yang Jiang actually wants to hold a birthday banquet for Quan Jingxuan in the palace, and invite all the ministers. This is an unprecedented honor. Quan Jing Xuan was already arrogant, after hearing about this incident, why didn't he look at people arrogantly with his nostrils?

Yang Guang said: "I'm afraid Chen people will hear about such a big battle soon."

Not only that, Yang Jian not only planned to celebrate Quan Jingxuan's birthday, but also revealed that he was going to cook a meal for Quan Jingxuan himself.

Everyone knows that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty likes to cook meals, but it is one thing for the emperor to like to cook meals, but it is another thing to cook meals for his courtiers. It is an unprecedented honor to hold a birthday banquet. , If it spreads out, people will definitely think that it is Quan Jingxuan's ancestral grave that smokes, otherwise how could he receive such great favor?

Yang Jian brought the little bun Yang Guang to the dining room, ready to take some time to make some delicious food, and happened to make a delicious dish for Quan Jingxuan along the way.

The dining room heard about the birthday banquet, and was doing its best to prepare the dishes for Yan Yin. When the kitchen stewards saw the emperor and prince coming in, they immediately bowed to salute.

Yang Jian said: "There is no need to be too polite, you are busy with your own work."

As he spoke, he asked the cooks again if Quan Jingxuan had any favorite taste.

During the main meal, the doctor said: "I really heard about a dish that is General Quan's favorite taste, but it's a pity that even the little people can't cook this dish."

"Oh?" Yang Jian became interested. He likes to challenge difficult problems. There is no dish in the world that he can't cook, so he said, "What kind of dish is it?"

The doctor in the main meal said: "I heard from the steward of General Quan's mansion that he had eaten this dish in the palace before, and it was made by an old cook, but the villain checked the recipe, but it was not recorded in the book... It is said that it is The rice noodles and meat are steamed and eaten, this... I don’t know how to steam rice noodles and meat together.”

When Yang Jian heard it, he suddenly realized that rice noodles and meat are steamed together, isn't this steamed meat with rice noodles?

Yang Jian laughed lightly and said, "What's so difficult about this? You go and prepare some pork belly, with skin on, it doesn't have to be too thin, some fat is best, and prepare some glutinous rice."

"Yes, the villain will go now!" The cook agreed with a dozen of them, and immediately ran to prepare.

Pork belly and glutinous rice, these are very simple and common ingredients, not fresh at all, and the cook quickly prepared them.

Yang Jian asked his son to sit on the side to rest, brought out some red dates and glutinous rice, and asked him to eat snacks first, while he was about to start making steamed pork.

Yang Jian rolled up his sleeves, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Yes, I still need a helper."

When everyone heard this, they thought that what the emperor needed was Yu Wenxuan, the "big disciple who entered the house", but otherwise, Yang Jian said with a smile: "Send someone to inform the king of Hejian, and ask him to bring his servant Xiao Yan over here." .”

Yang Guang: "..." It turns out that the father is about to commit a crime again.

Hejian Wang Xiaocen heard that the owner was looking for him, so he hurried out, and soon came with Xiao Yan.

Counting it, Xiao Yan had been a servant beside Hejian Wang Xiaocen for some time, but Xiao Yan still did not give in, and he didn't mention anything about the war.

Xiao Cen, the king of Hejian, paid his respects to the Son of Heaven, while Xiao Yan stood aside, like a wooden stake, and did not speak.

Yang Jian beckoned to Xiao, Xiao Cen leaned over respectfully and said, "I don't know what orders the Son of Heaven has?"

Yang Jian said: "Is King Anping willing to fight for me?"

"This..." Xiao Cen said hesitantly: "Prince Anping is very stubborn, please give the minister some more time."

Yang Jian said, "Aren't you bullying him hard?"

"Cough!" Hearing this, Xiao Cen almost choked himself to death, coughed hard, and patted his chest, saying: "Son of Heaven, my servants, my servants have tried their best to bully... bullying."

Yang Jian said: "I tried my best to bully, so many days have passed, Xiao Yan still has not surrendered to me? Bullying people need me to set an example for you."

Xiao Cen was in a cold sweat. Although his voice was very soft and he didn't dare to speak too loudly, the voice of the Son of Heaven was not soft at all, not to mention Xiao Yan who was standing next to him, and all the cooks in the dining room I wish I could hear it all.

Yang Jian said with a righteous face: "I will set an example for you."

As he spoke, he directed Xiao Yan to say: "Come here, light the fire."

Xiao Yan said coldly: "I won't."

"No?" Yang Jian said with a smile: "No one is born with the ability to make a fire, so it doesn't matter to you, I can ask the cook to teach you."

Xiao Yan looked at Yang Jian calmly. Yang Jian asked him to light the fire, but he didn't resist.

Xiao Cen saw that Xiao Yan really went to light a fire.

The stove quickly ignited a fire, and the flames were strong. Yang Jian suddenly said: "Yes, I almost forgot that there is no need to start a fire now. The pork belly has not been processed yet, so you put out the fire first."

Xiao Yan obediently put out the fire.

As soon as the flame was extinguished, Yang Jian said again suddenly: "Yes, I forgot again, why don't we fry the rice first? Steamed pork with rice flour, of course you need to fry the rice, you light up the fire."

Xiao Yan reacted this time, and looked at Yang Jian more, but he still raised the fire obediently. Because of his experience, Xiao Yan started the fire faster this time than last time.

As soon as the flames came out a little, Yang Jian said for the third time: "Yes!"

At this point in his words, the veins on Xiao Yan's forehead couldn't help but twitch, and he said with a dark face, "Are you finished!?"

Xiao Cen immediately scolded: "Presumptuous! How do you talk to the owner?"

Yang Jian smiled, with a very gentle appearance, but Xiao Yan was like a vicious thug.Yang Jian said innocently: "I haven't spoken yet, how do you know it's over? I want you to help me cut the meat. King Anping is a master of knives, so he should know how to cut meat."

Yang Jian said, "Paji!", and threw a piece of fat pork belly over, Xiao Yan was unprepared, the pork belly hit his face directly, and the smell of raw meat hit his face.

Xiao Yan's forehead couldn't help throbbing, his veins popped out violently, he suppressed his anger, walked to the cutting board, slammed the pork belly hard, and said, "How do you cut it?"

"Slicing." Yang Jian said concisely.

Xiao Yan picked up the knife, and his movements were crisp and quick. The way he held the knife did not look like a cook at all, but like a knight. After a few cuts, slices of pork belly were thick and uniform, stacked like petals on the cutting board.

"Stop," Yang Jian pointed to the pork belly on the cutting board, and said, "It's too thin, how can such thin pork belly taste good?"

Xiao Yan looked at the pork belly under his hand, he didn't say anything at all, he changed the knife to cut it thicker, but he didn't know that he just cut two slices, Yang Jian said again: "Stop, how can such thick pork belly be marinated to taste?"

Xiao Yan said with a dark face: "Do you want the thin one or the thick one?"

Yang Jian said: "Naturally, it is neither thin nor thick. Do I need to say so? You are clumsy, and you can't even cut meat well."

The veins on Xiao Yan's forehead popped up very badly, and the veins protruded violently. Xiao Cen secretly wiped off a cold sweat. Sure enough, compared to the emperor's way of looking for trouble, his methods were still too tender.

Xiao Yan angrily threw the kitchen knife "bang!" on the table, stared at Yang Jian coldly, Yang Jian chuckled and said, "What? I can't take it any longer?"

Xiao Yan said coldly: "Are you targeting me on purpose?"

"Does it need to be said? Of course." Yang Jian admitted that he was a gentleman, as if it was Xiao Yan himself who made trouble for no reason.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, and on the verge of his fury, Yang Jian suddenly said, "Why, do you feel wronged? You chose to be a servant. Do you think it's easy to be a servant? I just let you light a fire. It's just cutting up meat, there are many masters who make things difficult for others in this world, and I'm considered friendly like this."

What Yang Jian said was the truth, after all, these days servants are not regarded as human beings at all, they are just fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Yang Jian said with a smile: "The sharp sword should be used to kill the enemy. You choose to use the sharp blade to cut meat. I just want to tell you that meat cutting is also a skill, and you can't do it if you don't study hard."

"How?" Yang Jian said: "Cut meat or kill the enemy, I will give you one last chance."

Xiao Yan's face was extremely serious, with a dark face, staring at the kitchen knife on the cutting board. The kitchen knife was dark, with a blunt edge, and the wooden handle was corroded, with the smell of pork sticking to it, as if mocking Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed and became more and more fierce. Just when Xiao Cen thought that Xiao Yan would pick up the kitchen knife and fight Yang Jian desperately at any time, Xiao Yan finally spoke and said, "I will fight for you."

Xiao Cen froze on the spot, with a dumbfounded look on his face, he wished he could stuff two big dicks in his mouth, and sighed in his heart, is this all right?Xiao Yan was really dragging his feet and retreating.

"But I have one condition." Xiao Yan said.

Yang Jian said with a smile: "What conditions, you just ask, I am a magnanimous person."

Xiao Yan turned his gaze, stared at Xiao Cen, and said: "I have been a servant of the King of Hejian for a few days, and I must let the King of Hejian return, and I will also be a servant of the minister for a few days."

Xiao Cen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Son! King Anping wants to take revenge on his subordinates. You must not..." You can't agree!

Before he finished speaking, Yang Jian nodded easily, and said: "There are back and forth, it sounds fair, I don't have any objections, what about you, King Hejian? Don't you have any objections?"

Xiao Cen opened his mouth and said: "I have..." I have an opinion!

He didn't finish his sentence again, and was interrupted by Yang Jian, who nodded slightly, patted Xiao Cen's shoulder lightly, and said, "Hurt each other."

Xiao Cen said: "Son of Heaven, or you should think about it again, my servant..."

"There's no need to think about it," Yang Jian said earnestly, "King of Hejian, I ask you, can you fight a water battle for me, lead the water army, and repel the Chen people?"

Xiao Cen's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Although I'm not good at water warfare, I can decipher Chen's cipher text, and I can..."

Yang Jian smiled kindly, and said: "Isn't this the end? I need a general for water warfare now, and Xiao Yan is just right. He has served you for several days. You are brothers, how can there be any overnight feud? You Just serve him for two days. King Hejian, this is the time for you to show your loyalty to me."

Xiao Cen: "..."

Yang Jian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'm still making tamales. Don't make trouble in the dining room."

Xiao Cen's face was ashamed, if he knew that one day the feng shui would turn around, he wouldn't have to bully Xiao Yan so hard a few days ago, now it will be fine...

Xiao Yan raised his lips and smiled, sweeping away all the honesty and honesty in the past, and said: "King of Hejian, please!"

Yang Guang shook his head helplessly, kowtowed red dates and glutinous rice to watch the play the whole time, and sighed at the end.

After the brothers Xiao Yan and Xiao Cen left, Yang Jian began to prepare meals seriously. He cut the pork belly into slices, marinated them, and started frying rice.

Sprinkle the glutinous rice in the pot, stir-fry evenly under heat, wait until the rice turns slightly yellow, then put all the glutinous rice out, and then crush the fried rice with a rolling pin.In fact, in modern times, many people like to buy special rice noodles for rice noodles and meat. They can be used ready-made, which saves the time of frying and rolling rice noodles. However, Yang Jian thinks that the rice fried by himself is better after crushing. Eating is better than buying from outside.

Yang Guang had never seen such a thing as rice noodles and meat. He held the jujubes, tilted his head, and watched intently, as if he thought it was very fresh.

When the rice noodles are dry and crushed, it's almost done. Put the marinated pork belly in the rice noodles, stir evenly, wrap the rice noodles one by one, and then stack them neatly, and then they can be steamed in the pot.

This rice noodle meat cannot be made with too lean meat, because too lean meat is steamed and lacks oil, and the rice noodles on the outside will not be stained with oil, and it will feel dry when eaten, and the mouth will not have the glutinous aroma of glutinous rice.If steamed with fatter pork belly, the rice noodles wrapped outside will be more delicate and delicious.

It takes about half an hour to steam the rice noodles and meat in the pot, and the aroma soon emerges. The aroma of rice noodles permeates the air, and there is also a smell of meat, which is indescribably harmonious. Yang Guang is even more curious, da Da Da ran over in small steps, leaned against the table, stared at the steamer eagerly, with the appearance of a little adult who said "I'm not greedy, I just look at it".

After the steamed pork is out of the pot, in order to taste better, it is actually left overnight, and steamed again the next day, the taste will be stronger and richer, but Yang Guang obviously can't wait for tomorrow.Yang Jian brought the steamed pork with flour from the steamer, and the steaming heat, mixed with a strong fragrance, rushed to his face.

The amber-colored steamed pork was covered with a layer of rice noodles. Yang Jian used chopsticks to gently push aside the rice noodles, revealing layers of pork belly underneath.

The pork belly has been marinated and has an amber color, which complements the rice noodles. Yang Jian picked up a piece of steamed pork. The thickness of the pork belly is moderate. If it is too thin, it will lose the taste. If it is too thick, it will not be easy to taste.

Yang Jian picked up the first piece of steamed meat, blew it lightly, and brought it to Yang Guang's mouth. Yang Guang opened his small mouth with a stern face, "Wow!" He ate the steamed meat in one bite, Immediately opened his eyes wide, and muttered in his mouth: "Hoo...Hoo thick..."

The aroma of glutinous rice is fragrant, and the aroma of pork belly is mellow. They are mixed together layer by layer. The most delicious thing is not the meat, but the layer of rice outside. It absorbs all the essence of the pork belly, and when it is eaten into the mouth, it is glutinous and fragrant, and it will not feel dry at all.

Yang Guang simply took the chopsticks by himself, took a big mouthful of glutinous rice and ate it in his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, his face was very satisfied, and he was very happy to eat.

Seeing his son's reaction, Yang Jian knew how delicious the tamales were, so he gave his son the first portion of tamales, and the rest of the tamales, after the Yan drink, took them out and heated them up. You won't notice that it is an overnight dish at all, but it will add more flavor, which is very convenient.

The Son of Heaven held a birthday banquet for Quan Jingxuan, Chief Executive of Jingzhou, and all the ministers came to participate. No matter the style or scale of the birthday banquet, it was extremely grand.

As a birthday star, Quan Jingxuan can be said to be the focus of everyone, enjoying the pleasure of being surrounded by stars.

At the banquet, Yang Jian also got up to toast Quan Jingxuan, walked over and smiled very gently, like a junior, and said: "General Quan, today is the day of the general's birthday, I respect the general."

"The old minister dare not!" Quan Jingxuan hurriedly stood up to return the salute, cupped his hands and said, "The emperor loves him deeply, but the old minister is sincere and fearful. It is better for the old minister to respect the emperor."

Yang Jian said: "Hey, today is the old general's birthday. Although I am the Son of Heaven, I am a junior in the final analysis. Let me respect the old general. The old general must not refuse anymore."

Listening to Yang Jian's words, Quan Jingxuan felt that it was very useful and felt comfortable, so he no longer declined, saying: "The old minister should be respectful rather than obey his orders."

"now it's right."

Yang Jian made a toast with Quan Jingxuan, which had already become the focus of the audience. Seeing that the timing was just right, Yang Jian said: "A few days ago, I heard that the old general wanted to eat steamed meat with rice noodles. This meal is served in the palace. It has been lost, but by coincidence, I know this steamed pork with rice noodles, so I specially prepared a meal for the old general to taste, the taste of this steamed pork with rice noodles is authentic or not."

When the officials heard this, they were dumbfounded. The emperor toasted Quan Jingxuan, which was already very flattering to Quan Jingxuan. Now, the emperor personally gave Quan Jingxuan a meal. What kind of honor is this?

Everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor valued Quan Jingxuan so much, it must be because of the recent confrontation with the Chen people. Quan Jingxuan led the Jingzhou army and was familiar with water warfare.But everyone never expected that the emperor would value Quan Jingxuan to such an extent.

To be honest, Quan Jingxuan was also a little dumbfounded, but he soon became smug. After all, he was the only one who could defeat the Chen people. To him, the Chen people were just a bunch of ants.

Yang Jian's method really worked. Quan Jingxuan was treated so courteously by the emperor in front of everyone, and the arrogance in his heart reached the peak. He was quite arrogant, and he became more and more proud and complacent. scene.

Yang Jian dropped a "bomb", then Shi Shiran returned to his seat, took a closer look, and couldn't laugh or cry at once, the rice noodles in Chengpan turned out to be only meat, and all the rice noodles were given by Yang Guang It was cleaned up, not even a single scum was left.

Yang Jian's eyelids twitched, seeing Chengpan's cleanliness, how could it seem...

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Son, don't you lick the plate?"

Yang Guang immediately denied it, saying, "No."

"No?" Yang Jian looked disbelieving, according to his son's arrogant temper, if he didn't, he would definitely look at him with contempt, why would he be so eager to deny it?

Yang Guang began to deny again, saying: "Definitely not."

Just when Yang Guang was eager to deny it, he suddenly heard some commotion in the banquet, and immediately raised his small neck and said, "Father, what is that voice over there?"

Interrupting, my son is clearly interrupting!

Yang Jian followed the sound and saw that the noise was coming from Quan Jingxuan.

Quan Jingxuan was spoiled by Yang Jian's arrogance, and many ministers around him saw it. The emperor personally toasted, and the emperor personally took care of the meals. If Quan Jingxuan really defeated Chen Ren this time, why not just seal Otsuka as the prime minister?

The officials sensed the direction of the wind, and immediately flocked to him, rushing to flatter Quan Jingxuan, saying all kinds of good things, and the voices of compliments kept coming and going.

"It's a great honor for the Son of Heaven to cook meals for General Quan!"

"General Quan is loyal, and the emperor naturally sees it. This kind of son's honor, looking at the court, is none other than General Quan!"

"That's right, General Quan, I also offer you a toast!"

People queuing up to toast almost formed a long queue, but at this moment, someone "jumped in" and came to Quan Jingxuan with a wine glass and ear cup, and said respectfully: "Uncle, little nephew! Respect uncle."

Quan Jingxuan saw that it was his nephew.

Quan Jingxuan has two sons, both of whom are very successful. They have followed him for many years in the north and south, and they are also well-known figures. In addition to these sons, he also has a nephew. The nephew's father left early, so the nephew My son has been living with Quan Jingxuan.

Speaking of which, Quan Jingxuan doesn't like this nephew very much, it's not that Quan Jingxuan is mean to him, but Quan Jingxuan feels that this nephew is a "heterogeneous" in their clan.Whether it is Quan Jingxuan or his son, they are all well-known generals, and they are all heroes, but this nephew is just...

Quan Jingxuan's nephew's name is Quan Zhuoyu. Judging from his figure, he is a different kind of Quan family. He is not burly or tall, but he is barely tall. He looks like a refined and refined scholar. It can't be said that he was born as a general.

Quan Zhuoxuan looks like a nerd, he behaves rigidly, like a nerd, he is a bit submissive, his temperament is inexplicably similar to Dr. Xu Minqi, but he is not as tall as Dr. Xu.

Quan Zhuoxuan held a toast with his wine glass and ear cups. Today is a day of great joy. Quan Jingxuan also felt very happy to see his nephew, so he readily accepted his nephew's toast.

Who knows that at the next moment, the bookworm-like Quan Zhuoxuan never disappoints, with his head lowered, he said submissively: "Uncle, Uncle, the Chen people are about to send troops, just the vanguard... there are [-] people, or Chen Ren veteran...Wu Mingche leads and leads, I don't know how many soldiers and horses will be invested in the future, according to my nephew, it should be no less than... one hundred or one hundred thousand. Uncle only uses [-] soldiers and horses in total, I am afraid... I am afraid it will be Can't stand against the Chen people."

His voice was very low, because he was obedient and he didn't raise his head, so the words he said were even more low-pitched, but his words were extremely harsh, especially on this day of great joy, they were even more harsh and sharp. The audience was silent.

Quan Jingxuan's face gradually became stiff, he looked at Quan Zhuoxuan coldly, and said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Quan Zhuoxuan still maintained the gesture of toasting with both hands, Quan Jingxuan's gloomy voice shivered in fright, shrank his neck, but he still said tremblingly: "Nephew wants... I want to say, if uncle is still so arrogant and complacent , this time against the Chen people, there is only one... one result, and that is defeat."

"Presumptuous!!" Quan Jingxuan's gloomy face flushed instantly, and the veins on his forehead protruded, showing how angry he was, and regardless of the situation, he yelled angrily: "It seems that I am usually negligent in disciplining you, so I let you be so unrestrained Disrespectful! As a native of Sui, you actually fueled Chen Bandit's spirit and extinguished your own! Is that what I usually teach you?!"

Quan Zhuoxuan was so frightened that he shrank his neck again, and the wine glass and earcup in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang clang", spilling the wine all over the floor. It is to sit on the ground with weak legs on the spot.

But Quan Zhuoxuan did not change his words, instead he said: "My nephew is not... not to help the enemy's prestige, but... but I don't want to see my army defeated in the Sui Dynasty. Uncle leads the army arrogantly, and he will definitely lose!"

"Shut up!" Quan Jingxuan roared angrily, "It's the opposite! How dare you curse me!"

Yan Yin was lively and noisy, suddenly there was a commotion, Quan Jingxuan's roar was heard, the people nearby did not dare to breathe, and the people in the distance didn't know what happened.

Yang Jian was far away, he didn't know what was going on, so when he approached to listen, he happened to hear Quan Zhuoxuan say that Quan Jingxuan's arrogance will inevitably lead to defeat.

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows and said, "Son, who is this little milk cat?"

Yang Guang: "..." Little milk cat?

Yang Guang had a headache and rubbed his forehead. Although Quan Zhuoyu is not tall, he is not the type of a little milk cat, but
