Chapter 158(1/2)
Qi Lu got up early one morning. Today is the day when the army set off. They defeated the Shanrong people for Qi and always had to go to the capital of Qi to get some interest.
Qi Lu got up very early, not to be the other person, but to make a pig's trotter pot for the emperor.
Qi Lu entered the kitchen. He had asked the temple people to prepare pig's trotters in advance, and after cleaning their hands, he began to prepare the soup.
The pig's trotter pot I want to make today is actually somewhat similar to the mother's trotter soup that Qi Lu had made before. At that time, the emperor liked it very much, and Qi Lu remembered this.
However, the difference between the pig's trotter pot and the mother's trotter flower is that the pig's trotter pot can be used to sautify dishes, which is a disguised hot pot. You can sautify any kind of dishes and meat you like, and the pig's trotter and soup base add a different flavor to the hot pot.
Many people like the bottom of the golden soup pot, but compared to the golden soup, Qi Lu actually prefers the pig's trotter pot.
The mother's hoof flowers are soybeans and kidney beans, and the soup base is fresh and delicious. In this pig's hoof pot, Qi Lu did not choose soybeans and kidney beans, but chose pillow melons.
Qi Lu also made pillow melon before. Pillow melon is actually what modern times calls winter melon. The pillow melon tastes clear soup, but after putting it in the pig's trotter pot, it can neutralize the greasiness of the pig's trotters. In this way, it is a perfect match.
This pig's trotter pot needs to be washed, so put in the pillow melon to clear the mouth so that you won't feel sticky when you eat too much.
Qi Lu prepared all the ingredients, and the chefs came to work at this time. When they saw Qi Lu coming early, they all came to say hello and said, "Tao Fu, so early?"
Qi Lu smiled and thought, how could I not get up early when I was going to get some food for my boyfriend? And I was going to go on the road today, and there was nothing to eat on the road. Qi Lu planned to cook the pig's trotter pot so that I could eat the pig's trotter hot pot when I was resting.
Qi Lu was very thoughtful and immediately became busy, like a top and a pig's trotter was boiled in a pot, and it was always boiled into a milky white color, and then put the pillow melon in it. After all, the pillow melon is easy to ripen and rot. If it is too rotten, it will affect the taste.
Qi Lu made these things and smelled the fragrance of the pig's trotter pot. It was very good, full of collagen. Qi Lu was sure that the emperor would like this mouthful.
After finishing the meal happily, Qi Lu handed over the pig's trotters to the chefs and told them to keep them alive and march for a while. During lunch, he would set up the pig's trotters and let the emperor sautify the pig's trotters and eat them.
Qi Lu prepared the pig's trotter pot and left the kitchen. He was about to go back, but he actually met a doctor at the entrance of the tent.
This doctor is the imperial physician around the emperor. He usually specializes in the pulse of the emperor, so Qi Lu knows him. The temple man around the emperor happened to send the doctor out, so Qi Lu was a little curious, could it be... the emperor is sick?
The emperor has always been strong and strong, so how could he suddenly get sick? This morning, the emperor was still doing well.
Qi Lu immediately stopped the doctor who was about to leave and said, "Old sir, what disease does the emperor have?"
The doctor smiled and said, "No, there is no, Taifu Qi doesn't have to worry."
The doctor had something to do, so he left quickly, but Qi Lu was worried. He knew the emperor's nature and had always been very strong. If he was really sick, perhaps because the army was about to set off, he would not say it out loud.

The emperor's eyes were faint. When he looked at Qi Lu, Qi Lu immediately felt a chilly wind, as if he was a dissatisfied man.
I heard from the emperor: "It's not that the Grand Tutor dislikes me."
Qi Lu felt that he was wronged. Where did he start? If he disliked the emperor, he would not get up early and make a pig's trotter for the emperor.
The emperor continued: "The temple man said that the Taifu went to make a pig's trotter pot because my skin was not delicate enough."
After saying this, the emperor also felt goosebumps falling out.
Qi Lu was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Then he burst into laughter. The laughter penetrated the camp and almost made everyone in the military camp hear it.
Qi Lu has always been "quiet". Whether it is pretending or the character of Taifu, he has never laughed like this. But he knew that he was so cheerful when he smiled today.
The emperor said, "Look."
Qi Lu quickly stopped his smile and said, "Son of the Emperor, you misunderstood. Lu did not dislike the Emperor. It was because of the change of things now that Lu wanted to make a pig's trotter pot for the Emperor. Don't the Emperor like to eat pig's trotters?"
The emperor said suspiciously: "Take it serious?"
Qi Lu immediately said: "Take it seriously, I'm lying to you as a puppy."
Emperor: "..." Who did the puppy provoke whom?
Qi Lu said again: "Besides, the emperor does not need to maintain his beauty in this prosperous era."
The emperor then smiled at the corner of his lips and said, "Since the tutor is so sincere, I will believe that the tutor is good, but..."
The emperor changed his subject and said, "The Grand Tutor has not answered yet. Are you handsome or handsome, and you are handsome."
Qi Lu laughed dryly and said, "Son of the world, what do you do to be as beautiful as Gongsunzi?"
The emperor said quietly: "Because in the eyes of the Grand Tutor, Gongsunzi is more handsome than me."
"It's unfair!" Qi Lu's skill of slicking mouth was activated and he said, "Xi Shi appears in the eyes of a lover. In Lu's eyes, the emperor is the most handsome."
Who knew that the emperor said strangely: "Xi Shi? Who is that?"
Qi Lu: "..." I almost forgot that Xi Shi was not born yet.
The two of them were fighting and making a fuss. At this moment, Guo Gong Jifu's voice sounded outside the camp, saying, "Son of the Emperor, the central army has been ready, and we can set off after the Emperor's order."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately restrained his sneering expression and instantly changed from a small puppy to a big wolf dog, and said loudly: "I understand."
After the emperor said this, there was no further information. Guo Gong Jifu was still waiting outside, just waiting for the emperor to leave, but after waiting for a long time, the emperor did not make a sound.
Qi Lu looked at the emperor strangely. The emperor fell silent for a moment, like a mute. Of course, he was a handsome mute with a slightly frown, and it was different from the sneering look with Qi Lu just now.
Qi Lu couldn't help but say, "The emperor... has set off."
The emperor murmured: "Set off..."
When Qi Lu heard this, he immediately understood what the emperor was worried about.
The emperor was worried about his departure. Their goal was Linzi, the capital of Qi. When he went to Linzi, the emperor not only helped Qi, but also had another purpose, that was that Qi had no master and the former Duke passed away. Therefore, the emperor wanted to support Qi Lu to the throne and become the master of Qi.
Qi Lu understood at a glance that the emperor's emotions might have been hidden very well, but they could not escape Qi Lu's eyes. After all, in this world, Qi Lu is the one who knows the emperor best.

The emperor smiled, but his smile was a little cold, and then he slowly said: "Look at what General Lian said, which word is said by me, is it the meaning of blaming General Lian?"
After saying that, he said, "Get up."
Lian Jin then stood up and walked into the shogunate seat to sit down.
The emperor sat at the top and said quietly: "General Lian, Qi sent you to be an envoy. I have a few questions... I want to ask General Lian."
Lian Jin bowed and said, "The emperor asked, and the humble generals will naturally speak out!"
The emperor nodded and said in a friendly manner: "General Lian, now that the Duke of Qi has passed away, there is no monarch in your country. Who issued an edict and envoy to be granted the envoy? Due to my own people, only the king of a country has this qualification?"
Lian Jin's face was extremely difficult to see in an instant. It was as green as it was covered with a beard, and it could be seen that Lian Jin was not so happy when he asked this question by the emperor.
Qi Lu quickly raised his hand and made a coughing move, which was actually to hide his smile. Unexpectedly, the emperor also learned the smile-faced tiger's style and became more and more his own style.
Lian Jin said embarrassedly: "This... Although our Qi State has not yet had a formal monarch, the princes and the other ones are legitimate and pure in their blood. They are the only candidates for the monarch."
Ji Lin smiled, and that meant it was very sarcastic. Who wouldn’t listen to the envoy of the prince’s seal?
Ji Lin said again: "I ask General Lian again, what is General Lian coming here now?"
Finally, Lian Jin said immediately: "When the emperor said, I am here this time. First, I am the king of Qi who will replace me. Thank you for your kindness for help. Second,..."
General Lian paused and continued, "For the second reason, the Emperor Dai of our Qi State heard that the Emperor was about to set off and head to Linzi, but he ignored... In Linzi, there is a mess of war and chaos, and the people of Shanrong are cunning, and I don't know if there will be any evil intentions. Therefore, the Emperor Dai means that there is no need to bother the Emperor to go to Linzi City in person. After the Emperor Dai ascended the throne, he will bow to Luo Shi and personally thank the Emperor for his great kindness."
OK!
Qi Lu sneered this time and laughed out loud without any concealment.
Lian Jin said respectfully, but he could hear the little Daoer, even a deaf man.
The prince Zhuer must not want Qi Lu to enter Linzi. After all, Qi Lu is the younger brother of the prince Lu Fu, the young uncle of the prince Zhuer. In this way, Qi Lu also has the right to inherit and has a pure bloodline. Moreover, Qi Lu has a high position and a powerful position and has experienced so much. Which vassal state has never heard of Qi Lu's reputation? Which vassal state does not want to recruit Qi Lu? It is not an exaggeration to say a shameless word, even if Qi Lu calls him a hundred times.
In this way, the prince Zhuer, who had nothing to do, was naturally very afraid of Qi Lu.
The prince Zhuer refused to allow Qi Lu to enter Linzi, not because of the Shanrong people, nor because of the fatigue of carriages, or because of fear that Qi Lu would enter Linzi City and compete with him for the position of monarch.
Therefore, the prince Zhuer sent a large army to let the general in Corps as an envoy. He was not here to serve as an envoy. To put it bluntly, he was actually using force to coerce Luo Shi, hoping that the emperor would retreat in the face of difficulties.
The emperor sneered, "Since he ascended the throne, I have never seen anyone? People who look down on Ji Lin, underestimate Ji Lin, and ignore Ji Lin, are everywhere."
But with Ji Lin's growth, who dares to look down on Ji Lin?
The reason why the emperor sneered was that he laughed at the prince and his brother for not seeing the current situation clearly and was so confused.
Qi Lu stood up and said to Lian Jin: "General Lian, your Qi State is really unkind."
Qi Lu suddenly said it so bluntly, Lian Jin was surprised. When Lian Jin left Linzi, he had heard of Qi Lu's name for a long time. Prince Zhuer Qian Ding Lingwan told him to avoid Qi Lu and not to confront Qi Lu, because Qi Lu was very cunning.
Therefore, Qi Lu said this, Lian Jin didn't dare to interfere at all.
Qi Lu said again: "You Qi Kingdom, you want to break the bridges across the river."
Even the cold sweat came out on his forehead, because Qi Lu's words were more aggressive, but this was not the most aggressive. Qi Lu continued: "Our Luo Master helped Qi to repel the Shanrong people. How could Qi repay the emperor's great kindness? This person who broke the bridge across the river should be careful that he would fall into the water and drowned."
Lian Jin was shocked when he heard the last two words of Qi Lu, and immediately became angry. He felt that Qi Lu was cursing himself, but he could not lose his temper, so he had to turn his anger into a dry laugh, and laughed out loud, saying, "The tutor... The tutor is really sneering. Humiliation, why can't the tutor understand?"
The emperor said lightly: "Forget it, since the envoy of Qi came from afar, I will stay in the central army today."
The emperor said, lifting his chin. His appearance was already high, and his arrogant and majestic movements were simply a flower of a high mountain in Qi Lu's eyes!
Standing on one side, Guo Gong Jifu and Grand Marshal Wuman saw the emperor's actions and immediately stepped forward. The emperor said quietly: "Even the general comes from afar, as the ministers of Luo Shi, you must take good care of each other and don't lose the majesty of my Luo Shi."
"The humble general is respectful! Please rest assured by the emperor!"
Lian Jin could hear what Ji Lin said clearly. Of course, he knew that the emperor was not really taking care of himself, but warned himself. After all, Lian Jin brought a large army to him. The emperor wanted to tell Lian Jin that you have troops and Luo Shi also had troops.
There is a tension in the shogunate, outside the shogunate...
To be continued...
